Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 696 Li You Says Goodbye to the Two Cubs
On the second day after Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, he did not trouble Li Ke and Li You, but chose to reward the three armies, because Li Shimin wanted to tell the people of Chang'an that the attack on Goguryeo was a victory for the Tang Dynasty.

However, when Li Shimin rewarded the three armies, a bad news came. Zhang Jing was deprived of the bad guy's seal, and now Zhang Jing has been downgraded to deputy commander, and the bad guy is not someone else. It was Changsun Wuji, and Changsun Wuji had already taken the lead in investigating Li You, Li Ke, and Li Yin.

This news was sent by Yang Qu through the inner guard. As soon as the news arrived, Li You knew that he would not be able to celebrate the New Year in Chang'an, and Li Shimin already had the idea of ​​telling him to leave quickly.

Just two days later, Li You called Li Zhi and Li Mingda over from his home in Dunhuafang.

This time, Li You prepared a big meal for his younger brother and sister. Hehe, it was a hot pot meal. However, there were not many people for today's hot pot meal. There was only one room and three seats. Today's hot pot meal was only for Li You and his three brothers and sisters.

Li You prepared the hot pot early. The ingredients are Chongqing hot pot ingredients, which are spicy and delicious. The other side is mutton, hairy tripe, duck intestines, etc. These ingredients that people like to eat in modern times were also eaten by ancient people in ancient times. of.

It was about ten o'clock when Li Zhi and Li Mingda rushed over together. To be honest, it's no wonder that the two came a little late. After all, Li Shimin is back now, and Li Shimin's body is not very healthy during this time. it is good.

The old problem has begun to break out. In fact, several emperors in the Tang Dynasty had a genetic disease called wind disease. Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Li Zhi, and later Tang Shunzong, Tang Wenzong, etc., all suffered from this genetic disease. torture.

Many people don't know what wind disease is. In fact, wind disease is what we call a stroke in our daily life. The main symptoms are dizziness, numbness, and even blindness and hemiplegia in severe cases, until death.

Li Shimin had this kind of disease when he was young, and he often felt dizzy. Another reason is that Li Shimin's long-term battles, coupled with his irregular diet and rest, accumulated over time and left him with injuries.If he was cared for carefully, he might live for a few more years, but after he became emperor, he was busy with government affairs and had no time to rest.

Going to Goguryeo to fight this time, Li Shimin's body was overdrawn again, and the carbuncle disease caused great damage to the body, so the body will not be very good after returning to Chang'an.

Both Li Zhi and Li Mingda are filial sons. The two little guys knew that Li Shimin was sick, so they both moved back to live in the palace, and they have been very attentive to accompany Li Shimin. This should be one of the reasons why Li Shimin loves them so much. one!
"Fifth Brother!"

The person hadn't arrived yet, but the voice had already arrived. Such a cheerful voice was of course Jinyang Princess Li Mingda.

Then Li Zhi also called out: "Fifth Brother..."

The two approached the room together, and as soon as they entered the room, Sizi cheered: "Wow, eat hot pot, it's good, good, but I haven't eaten hot pot for many days, and I've long wanted this taste.

There are still beef tendons today, fifth brother, are you trying to reward us? "

Li Mingda was overjoyed looking at the hot pot in the room, and then found the beef tendon, so he was even happier. After speaking, he directly picked up a piece of beef tendon and put it into the hot pot, and started to cook.

In fact, the beef tendon has been stewed, so it can be eaten after a little blanching.

Li Zhi also smiled and said: "Fifth brother, what's the situation, you really want to reward us, ouch, that's really great, I'll have a piece of mutton first."

As he said that, Li Zhi put a chopstick of mutton into the hot pot, rinsed it a few times, and then put it into his own sesame sauce plate. The mutton was covered with chopped green onion and sesame sauce, and he swallowed it in one bite. Li Zhi was very happy Say something cool!

Seeing his younger brother and younger sister eating so happily, Li You also showed a smile, followed by Li You and picked up a bottle of red wine for the two of them and said, "Come, the three of us have a drink."

"Have a drink...?" Li Mingda was surprised, looked at the wine in front of him and smiled, "Hee hee, fifth brother, can I drink today too?" Because Li You didn't let Li Mingda drink alcohol before, not even wine.

Li Mingda was a little surprised to see Li You pouring wine for himself today.

Looking at Li Mingda, Li You laughed: "Only for today, because Brother Wu has something to ask you, so I make an exception and let you drink once. However, I hope you can promise Brother Wu that you can't drink before the age of 16.!"

"Got it, got it!" Li Mingda raised his wine glass with a smile and said, "Let's have a drink today, and we'll talk about the future, anyway, Brother Wu, you won't leave.!"

Following Li Mingda's toast, Li Zhi also happily echoed, Li You didn't say anything, and then raised the wine glass, and after the three of them finished drinking the red wine in the glass together, Li Mingda looked at Li You and asked, "Fifth Brother, What do you want to ask us, while I am happy now, maybe I will agree to whatever you say?"

"Then fifth brother, thank you. Actually, it's not a big deal. I just hope that you two can help me look after the people in Dunhuafang and Qinglongfang. What I was like when I was here, will be what I will be in the future.

And Hubenwei, I will leave Su Dingfang, Di Renjie and others. There are about 1 people. You have to treat them kindly. "

Li You originally wanted to continue talking, but at this time, Li Zhi interrupted Li You and asked in disbelief: "Fifth brother, what do you mean by this, why did you entrust Dunhuafang, Qinglongfang, and Hubenwei to you?" We, your things, why should we take care of them for you?"

"Yeah, fifth brother...!" Li Mingda on the side also panicked: "We won't take care of your things, why let us take care of your things, fifth brother, you can't leave, you have to take care of it." Your people, and, don’t you want us?”

Seeing Li Zhi and Li Mingda flustered, Li You sighed, then looked at them and said, "Silly boys, how could I not want you, but Fifth Brother is indeed in some danger now.

Let me tell you this, my father wants to drive me away, I can't stay in Chang'an anymore, Zhang Jing is no longer the commander of the bad guys, and Uncle Changsun has now taken over the bad guys, according to my information, the bad guys are gone They are investigating me, and the intention is already obvious.

I have to leave by myself now, if not, I am very worried that I will not be able to leave Chang'an at all. At that time, the three of us, brother and sister, may really be separated from each other.

But if I can choose to leave now, then we still have a chance to meet in the future, as long as Zhinu becomes the king of a country, at that time, with a word from Zhinu, Fifth Brother will definitely come back and continue to be with you.

But not now. "

"Why not, I'll go and tell my father, if my father won't let Fifth Brother stay, at worst I won't be the crown prince." Li Zhi became a little anxious, Li Mingda looked at Li You, his small eyes had already appeared mist.

Then Li You looked at Li Zhi and said, "My silly brother, if you really go and tell Father Emperor like this, Father Father will definitely kill me. What he worries most is that you will be dependent on others, and he is afraid that I will take your power.

After all, the royal father snatched the throne from his own brother. He is very afraid that if you rely on other brothers, some brothers with ulterior motives will take your throne. I, Li Ke, and Li Yin must leave this time. .

It's better for us to leave earlier than later, otherwise we will be left with a fatal disaster, you two little guys, don't you want to let your fifth brother die?"

Li Zhi and Li Mingda shook their heads again and again. At this time, Li You laughed and said: "So, this time, you must pretend to be nonchalant and let me go. Don't even come to see me off. You have to look like you are not treating me If you don't care about me, the more indifferent you are to me, fifth brother, my situation will be much better.

What my father is worried about is that I will confuse you. I hope you can be independent. After the hot pot is finished this time, we will say goodbye to each other and don’t write letters. Fifth brother should go back to Dengzhou. After going somewhere, fifth brother will think about it Yours.

Waiting for you to pick up Fifth Brother back.! "

Hearing this, both Li Zhi and Li Mingda shed tears, and they both rushed into Li You's arms. Li You sighed slightly while hugging: "The emperor's house should have no family ties, but five Brother and you have a family relationship.

Fifth Brother can die for you, but Father will not understand Fifth Brother's heart. Father is the Emperor who has come out of the slaughter, and he will not believe in the affection of the Emperor's family.

He only believes in himself, so don't be too sad, we will definitely be reunited again, and at that time, as long as you still need Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother will die for you, okay? "

"Fifth Brother. There is no chance at all. Ninth Brother and I can go to persuade Father Huang together, and we can guarantee Ninth Brother together."

Li Mingda's eyes were full of tears.

It's just that Li You didn't answer this time, but Li Zhi on the side said with red eyes: "Son, let Fifth Brother go, if Fifth Brother doesn't leave, even if we promise Fifth Brother together, Father, don't worry, Fifth Brother, Uncle Changsun I won’t let Fifth Brother go!”

Following Li Zhi, he looked at Li You firmly and said, "Fifth brother, you leave Chang'an first, wait a moment, wait a little bit, and when Zhinu becomes the king of a country, I will immediately let you go back to Chang'an, trust Zhinu, okay .?"

Li You smiled slightly, patted Li Zhi's head fondly and said with a smile: "Of course I believe, that's why I entrust Dunhuafang, Qinglongfang, and Hubenwei to you. Remember to treat them well and protect them well. Brother will wait for your decree to let me come back in Dengzhou."

In the end, Li You looked at Li Zhi and said, "Child slave, I will leave it to you!" After finishing speaking, Li You looked at Li Mingda again: "Si, I will continue to send someone to bring your medicine to you. You must eat on time, and help Fifth Brother take good care of the mother and concubine, Fifth Brother is here to thank you all."

After a while, there was a heart-piercing cry in the room. It was a parting cry, sad, heartbroken but helpless.
