I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 472 Unfilial son Li Shimin!

Li Shimin's complexion suddenly became bitter.

"How can the emperor go out to escape the summer heat and leave the empress alone in the palace? That shouldn't be discussed by the world?"

He said helplessly,

"Guanyin maidservant, you just agree, the children want to go too."

The three children quickly surrounded them, rubbing against their mother's thigh.

"Queen, let's go, let's go..."

"Queen, if we want to go, you agree..."

"Please..."

"..."

Li Shimin's persuasion, coupled with the children taking turns acting like a spoiled child, slightly loosened Changsun Wugou's firm will.

"呵...呵呵."

Li Shimin grinned and gave Xu Fenglei a wink——

It's almost time to hit the door, you kid, work harder!
Xu Fenglei understood, cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"Going to the palace to escape the summer heat is indeed mobilizing the teachers and mobilizing the crowd, and it is suspected of extravagant pleasure. Your Majesty may be persuaded by the officials, or scolded by Wei Zheng and the others."

Li Shimin's face froze.

The eldest grandson Wugou nodded, and said seriously:

"I hear you are right."

"It's not that I don't want to go, I really don't want His Majesty's reputation to be damaged, you are a Mingjun..."

"If someone compares you with Yang Guang because of this enjoyment...Can you escape the heat with peace of mind?"

Li Shimin's face turned ugly again.

He always looked down on Yang Guang the most, and held small meetings with important ministers when he had nothing to do, criticizing Yang Guang's mistakes and taking him as a warning.

To be honest, if someone called him a fool, he might not be angry; but if someone said that he was like Yang Guang, who did the things of Emperor Sui Yang, he would be so angry that he would jump up and down...

So the words of the eldest grandson Wugou can be regarded as extinguishing his interest in going out of the palace to escape the summer heat...

"Then let's just stay in the palace."

Li Shimin glanced at Xu Fenglei, and said in a strange way,

"People say it's great to be an emperor. What's so good about being an emperor? It's not free at all! It's so difficult to get out. This huge Tai Chi Palace is nothing more than a prison!"

"Ugh!"

Li Er folded his hands behind his back, shook his head greatly, and sighed, as if being the emperor was the most difficult task in the world.

"Your Majesty is wrong."

Xu Fenglei said with a smile,

"The emperor is not unfree, and it is not that difficult to go out."

"But you are the king of a country, you have to pay attention to the integrity of your name in everything you do, and it is best to have a resounding reason, so no one will say no to it."

"I do have an idea..."

Li Shimin glared at him.

"What's the reason? I want to go out to escape the summer heat and take my family to have fun! This is the most sincere thought in my heart, and I can't find a resounding reason!"

He said angrily,

"You fart, don't be at the end of the corner with me here!"

It was with Xu Fenglei that Li Er would speak so bluntly. For any other minister, he would have to pretend to be the emperor's reserve...

"Hahaha, isn't it a famous name to take the whole family to escape the summer heat and have fun?"

Xu Fenglei laughed loudly and said,

"Did your Majesty forget that the Supreme Emperor is also a member of your family?"

Li Shimin frowned.

"Uh-huh?!"

He thought for a while, and his eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty can push the Supreme Emperor out..."

Xu Fenglei said hesitantly,

"Hongyi Palace, which is the current Da'an Palace... We have all lived there, the place is low and very boring. Presumably the Emperor Taishang is also irritated by the heat these days."

"You can go to the Supreme Emperor to make a suggestion. Just say that you can't bear the scorching sun and want to take him out to escape the summer heat. I think the Supreme Emperor will gladly agree."

"In this way, Your Majesty will not only make the Supreme Emperor feel that you are very filial, but also stop the mouths of all officials and ministers. After all, you are not enjoying yourself, but accompanying the Supreme Emperor to escape the summer heat. This is filial piety! My Tang Dynasty is loyal and filial Ruling the world, treating father well, no matter how kind he is, who dares to say no to it?"

"Whether it's the courtiers or the common people, they will only praise you for your filial piety! The bigger your battle, the greater your filial piety, right?"

The voice fell, and there was no sound of approval.

There was a trace of shame on Li Shimin's face.

"Erfeng... How long has it been since you visited your father?"

The eldest grandson Wugou waved the three children to go out to play, then stared at Li Shimin and said softly.

Li Shimin: "..."

"It's been... a long time."

He said in shame,

"I'm busy with government affairs, so I forget about it when I come and go..."

"This... hey!"

Being busy with government affairs is not an excuse. After all, Hongyi Palace is just outside Taiji Palace, and it is only a cup of tea to walk there.

But the last time he went to see Li Yuan was three or four months ago.

"You are unfilial!"

Grandson Wugou sighed,

"It's a good thing to hear that Ming brought it up at this moment, father is also a member of our family, and he is the most indispensable person!"

"Whether you really want to ask father to escape the summer heat, or to have fun in the name of father, you must go out this time."

She didn't want to be exhausted by boats and cars, and mobilize teachers and people to escape the summer heat.

But Xu Fenglei mentioned Li Yuan and 'filial piety', so even if she didn't want to, she had to go!
As a queen, she must do her best to help the emperor manage her own image, whether externally or internally.

Not to visit Li Yuan for several months, this is already a failure to be a son, it is extremely unfilial!

"Yes...you are right."

Li Shimin listened to the training obediently, and said in shame,
"No, I really shouldn't..."

When thinking about going to escape the summer heat, the figures of his wife and children appeared in his head, and the names of close ministers appeared, but the appearance of his father did not appear!
Thinking of this, this face is hot.

"Walk."

Changsun Wugou put down his chopsticks, got up and said,

"Let's go to visit the father now, sort out the dishes made by the children, and bring them with us, so that the old man can taste them."

"Fortunately, I have always been very concerned about the concubines. I gave them some gifts during the holidays, and they all said that they were specially given by His Majesty. I think they will say something good for you. The emperor will not blame you too much. your."

Xu Fenglei secretly gave a thumbs up.

Worthy of being a queen!The things she did silently gave Li Er a great help invisibly!

"well……"

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said,
"It's Guanyin's maidservant, you are thoughtful... let's go, let's visit the emperor now!"

"Come on! Prepare these dishes properly, and bring a few cold melons... Then go to my bedroom and get Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface" and go to Da'an Palace together!"

The servant girl responded, and then went down to prepare, and the emperor and empress also got up and went out.

"Listen, let's go too."

Changsun Wugou glanced sideways and said casually.

"Ah I……"

Xu Fenglei said in astonishment,

"What am I going to do..."

Li Yuan is not my father, so it's not my turn to be filial.

"Father loves to play cards, and you are the founder of chess and cards."

Grandson Wugou beckoned and said,
"The four of us have a table together and play with father... As I said before, you are not allowed to win too much money from the emperor."

Xu Fenglei: "...Yes."

……

To the north of Taiji Palace is Da'an Palace.

The terrain here is relatively low-lying. In this scorching summer, even if there is a cool breeze, it will not be easy to blow. Compared with Tai Chi Palace, this place is more stuffy.

Snapped!
"General!" Li Yuan was shirtless, and he was gnawing something in his mouth.

I saw him holding a chess piece in his hand, jumping on the horse to catch the general!

"Your Majesty, you are too powerful, this old slave admits defeat, this old slave admits defeat..."

The eunuch in attendance repeatedly bowed his hands and complimented,

"Your chess skills are even better than before! Even if you let the old slave take the lead, the old slave is not your opponent..."

Li Yuan twisted his beard.

"Play chess with the stinky chess basket, the more you play, the more stinky you will be!"

he rebuked,
"Didn't I tell you to go back and study more? Why are you still so weak?"

"You are far behind Xiao Yu and Pei Ji! Do you know?"

The valet wiped the sweat from his brow.

"That's natural, that's natural...how can this old slave compare with Xiao Ge and Pei Ge?"

He said helplessly,

"The old slave has devoted himself to studying, but he is really not smart. This chess is something that only intelligent people can master. This old slave is just a stupid person..."

Li Yuan spit out a peach pit from his mouth.

"Forget it, I won't embarrass you."

He lay down on the ground bored and snorted coldly,
"Those old friends from the past are coming less and less... I can't find an opponent with the same chess skills, so I look for you to relieve my boredom."

"Bring some ice! Fan the wind harder, do you want to heat me to death?!"

call!call!
The two maidservants beside her were sweating profusely, but they didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, and fanned the old lady even harder.

The servant at the door also quickly fetched a bucket of ice and spread it around Li Yuan.

As soon as the ice cubes were spread, the surrounding temperature dropped a little, but it also added a little dampness. Except for Li Yuan, everyone in the hall felt chest tightness and discomfort.

"The Supreme Emperor, why don't I invite some elders?"

The attendant observed Li Yuan's expression, and asked cautiously,
"It's more interesting for you to play against them..."

Li Yuan waved his hand.

"Heh...they are busy people, what are you going to invite here?"

he sneered,

"Those who want to come, come uninvited; those who don't want to come, why bother to ask with a shy face?"

"Even if it's my own son, he won't come to visit, let alone those so-called 'friends'?"

"Perhaps when I die in this Da'an Palace one day, it will attract attention..."

"Your Majesty was joking, joking..." The valet smiled awkwardly, and went to arrange the chess pieces again.

"Joke?"

Li Yuan frowned, and said coldly,
"You think I'm joking?"

"Oh! I understand now that there are no good people in this world, and there are no people worthy of friendship!"

He looked up at the roof and said lazily:

"To live...it's boring."

"Array a few more concubines tonight, tender ones, showy ones! Don't want those old dishes... Also, prepare the grapes, I want to use grapes to take a bath with them!"

"...Yes, yes." The valet nodded helplessly.

The old emperor has been completely depressed, complaining like this is also very frequent.

All he can do is to try his best to satisfy everything he wants, whether it is fine wine or no one...

Perhaps, being drunk and dreaming of death is what the Supreme Emperor wants, and it is what His Majesty wants to see today.

Just as he was thinking about which young ladies to arrange to sleep in tonight, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here to visit you!"

The eunuch said excitedly.

Li Yuan raised his neck in an instant, and then slowly fell down.

"What is he doing?"

Li Yuan said lightly,
"It's nothing more than asking if I'm safe again. You go and tell him that I'm fine, very fine! Send him away!"

After that, he turned over and pointed the back of his head at the person.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't work..."

The eunuchs spread the word,

"Not only His Majesty came alone, but also the empress, His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the King of Wei, Princess Changle... and Duke Xu, they are all here..."

wow.

Li Yuan stood up abruptly.

"The queen and the children are here too?"

He said in surprise,

"This is a bit..."

"Let them all come in, I haven't seen my grandchildren for a long time, I still miss them."

"Observe the order." The eunuch who sent the message was relieved, turned and left.

"Your Majesty, look, your majesty and empress have come to see you."

The servant smiled and said,
"There are also princes and princesses... Today is not a festival, they are all here, which means that you are still remembered by His Majesty and Empress..."

Li Yuan pouted.

"Maybe something happened to remind me of this bad old man..."

He tore his hair, and commanded,
"Come on, seeing that my grandchildren can't be sloppy, please help me tidy up, and tidy up this hall too."

"Observe the order." The servant got the order and immediately ordered the servants to start.

And Li Yuan also got up slowly, and sat in front of the bronze mirror after a long absence...

……

"Ouch...it's so hot in here."

Li Tai held a small cattail fan, and sighed while shaking it.

The little fat man is most afraid of heat. He walked all the way from Taiji Palace to Da'an Palace, he was already out of breath, his face was flushed, and his back was soaked with sweat.

"Didn't you live here when you were young? What are you complaining about?"

Xu Fenglei knocked on his head and cursed with a smile,

"If you want to blame, blame you for being too fat! It's good to sweat when you're hot, it can take away the fat on your body."

"If you continue to gain weight like this, oil will flow from your blood vessels and your heart will not be able to take it anymore!"

With a bitter face, Li Tai could only increase the intensity of his fan.

"It is indeed hot, and there is not even a trace of wind..."

Li Shimin looked around, frowned and said,
"Father is getting older, it must be even more unbearable, alas! I am so unfilial... I didn't even consider this!"

"I have to change my father's residence..."

The further he went in, the more he blamed himself.

Treating this one and only, lonely old man, he doesn't care at all!Don't even ask about the cold and heat!

"It's not too late when you realize your problem."

Grandson Wugou said seriously,
"As for changing the place of residence, there is no need. In the dog days of every year from now on, just ask Father to go to a palace with a suitable climate to escape the summer heat. This will also show your filial piety to the world."

Li Shimin nodded again and again.

"Yep……"

He caressed,

"As it should be!"

The emperor and empress were talking, and they had already entered the hall.
