Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 272 Rende
What does this sentence mean?In archery, you must first make yourself calm and upright, and then you can draw the bow and shoot the arrow. If you miss it, you can't blame someone who is more accurate than yourself, but you should find the reason from yourself.It is to select talents in the shooting garden and observe their virtues. A gentleman is based on self-cultivation and moral advancement, rather than making wild judgments about the success or failure of others.Fight for victory and shoot, bow to give way and rise, and drink wine for reward.Therefore, it is benevolence to not fight, and righteousness to yield. "

"So there is such a reason!" The Queen laughed and said, "I have learned a lot today, but if it is so, I will feel relieved!"

Li Zhi heard the words and asked: "Don't worry? Why do you say that?"

"Hong'er is just 11 years old this year, and she is considered the youngest among the people who participated in the shooting ceremony. If it is just a comparison of archery, she probably cannot compare with others. But if it is like what you said, what is the concubine worried about? He He is His Majesty's son, and the one who resembles His Majesty the most, benevolence and virtue are born with him, so what is there to worry about?"

"Hehehe!" Li Zhi laughed when he heard the words: "Meiniang, you are turning a corner and saying good things about the widow!"

"Isn't it? At the beginning, the late emperor chose you as the emperor among the princes, didn't it just because of your benevolence?"

"Hey!" Li Zhi's complexion became a little ugly, and he sighed: "At the beginning, the late emperor appointed the widowed man as the prince, for the sake of harmony between brothers and mutual protection, but now King Wu and Uncle Yuan have passed away. Famous people really dare not live there!"

"How can you blame Your Majesty!" The queen patted Li Zhi's hand lightly: "The death of King Wu was caused by Changsun Wuji's perverting the law to kill; For the sake of grace, he was exiled to Qianzhou. If he shut himself up in Qianzhou and thought about his mistakes, it would take five years at most, or three years at least. His Majesty would definitely pardon his crimes and recall him to Chang'an. But he regretted his past and hanged himself, which would hurt His Majesty. Shengde, His Majesty still calls him Uncle Yuan!"

"Hey!" Li Zhi sighed: "Meiniang, you are right. I had no choice but to exile Uncle Yuan to Qianzhou at the beginning. Then Xu Jingzong used the law of his ancestors to force the widow, saying that even the crime of treason can be pardoned, so why? Rule the world? The widow had no choice but to exile Uncle Yuan. I thought that after two years, I would wait for the limelight to pass, so I just found a reason to pardon him and recall him to Chang'an. Uncle hanged himself suddenly after he arrived in Qianzhou, and it was all because of my lack of consideration, but let Uncle Yuan die, if he goes underground in the future, how can he have the face to meet Emperor Xian and Uncle Yuan!" Li Zhi couldn't help but stare blankly at this point. tears.

"Your Majesty!" Wu took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and while wiping Li Zhi's tears, he comforted him, "The late Emperor is so wise, how can he not be able to tell right from wrong? According to my concubine, the late Emperor will definitely not blame Your Majesty." , but that eldest grandson Wuji is ashamed to face His Majesty, and has no face to meet the late Emperor!"

Li Zhi and his wife were talking, after three rounds of shooting, Prince Li Hong changed his clothes and came to see his parents.Li Zhi comforted him, and said with a smile: "Originally, the widow should personally participate in it today, but the widow has been ill for a few days, so I have to let you do it instead of the widow. Did you gain anything from learning archery today?"

"There is something to gain!" Li Hong was only 11 years old at this time, and he spoke in a childish voice: "People who practice archery together are better than children. After returning home, children have to practice hard to catch up with them!"

"Okay, okay!" Li Zhi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and clapped his hands: "You have such ambition, you really deserve to be a descendant of my Li family. You must know that the way of bow and arrow is a major event in the country. Gongshi has gone through hundreds of battles to create this foundation. Our descendants must not forget this past event!"

"My child, remember!" Li Hong said loudly.

"Okay, okay!" Li Zhi said with a smile: "There is another piece of good news today. The Baekje rebellion has subsided, and Jin Renwen and Jin Aiqing have returned to the court!"

"Jin Jiaoyu has returned to the Tang Dynasty?" Li Hong was overjoyed when he heard the words. In his ecstasy, he even forgot the etiquette and grabbed Li Zhi's hand: "Aye, when will Jin Jiaoyu arrive in Chang'an!"

"The letter said that he was about to arrive at Heyang. From Heyang to Luoyang after crossing the river, there should be six or seven days left?" Li Zhi said with a smile, "Hong'er, you are so overjoyed, look Come here, Jin Jiaoyu's status in your heart is already higher than that of others!"

"No—!" Li Hong was still a half-grown child after all, and hurriedly denied, "How could Jin Jiaoyu surpass Aye in the heart of a child, it's just, just—"

Empress Wu couldn't stand it anymore, she opened her mouth to help her son and said, "Your Majesty and Ah Hong are close relatives of father and son, so how can Jin Ren ask to match? But Jin Aiqing is indeed a likable person, not to mention Hong Er Even in the cities of Chang'an and Luoyang, I'm afraid there are not many daughters who don't like him!"

"That's right!" Li Zhi sighed, "If it wasn't for Jin Aiqing's balancing act between Silla and Tang, the chaos in Baekje wouldn't have been settled so easily. I should take the lead!"

"Jin Renwen made the first achievement?" The Queen asked in surprise, "But according to the memorial, Jin Renwen didn't participate in the two battles between Zhouliu City and Ren Cunshan City?"

"Meiniang, you don't understand!" Li Zhi explained triumphantly, "If Jin Renwen hadn't been sitting in Silla, continuously transporting food and sending reinforcements to Liu Renyuan, how could Liu Renyuan have achieved what he is today? And after the pacification of Baekje , how to comfort Silla, and add another arm to the next pacification of Goguryeo, cannot do without Jin Renwen's contribution, who do you give this first effort to!"

"Your Majesty's words are true!" Mrs. Wu thought for a while, "It's just that Liu Renyuan feels wronged."

"As a subject, how can he not be wronged?" Li Zhi smiled: "Even if you are a widow, you have to do things that go against your own wishes, let alone a subject, if you are wronged, you will be wronged!"

When Wu heard this, her heart trembled, and she carefully looked at her husband's face, only to see that Li Zhi had a half-smile on his face, and didn't know whether he was teaching the prince next to him or beating himself, so he quickly lowered his head.Li Zhi didn't mention the old things any more, but just called Li Hong to his side to test some homework.

"Aye! I want to ask you something!"

"what's up?"

"Jin Jiaoyu is back, my boy wants to hold a polo match!" Li Hong said with a smile: "The six rates of the East Palace (the rate of the prince's left and right guards, the rate of the prince's left and right guards, the rate of the prince's left and right Qing Dao, the personal soldiers directly controlled by the prince in the Tang Dynasty ) as one side, and the Beiya Forbidden Army as one side, I don’t know if it’s possible!"

"Hong'er, don't talk nonsense!" The Wu family on the side gently patted his son's cheek: "Son, you don't fight with your father. The Beiya Imperial Guards are the personal soldiers of the guards, and the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace are your personal soldiers. You If you do this, everyone in the world will call you unfilial!"

　I just saw a reader in the discussion area say that as a father, it is hard for him to understand that Li Zhi would be so cruel to his non-threatening daughter.Weber just wanted to say that as an ordinary person, it is indeed difficult to understand how kind-hearted the superior is.But as an author, once a character is established, what to say, what to do, the author has the final say, and can only follow his track.Everyone has his own destiny, we can only watch.
