"Brother, if nothing unexpected happens, Changle will still be your daughter-in-law, but now" Empress Changsun said to Changsun Wuji a little guiltily. In fact, since the death of Changsun Chong, Queen Changsun has always felt guilty towards the Changsun clan. In her mind, she always thought that this most outstanding daughter was from the Changsun clan. Unexpectedly, Changsun Chong died in the battle when he went to conquer Tubo. , asked his brother, the white-headed man, to send the black-headed man away. As soon as he saw Changsun Wuji appear, he began to feel guilty again. His sister, who is the queen, is still as kind as before. Changsun Wuji secretly sighed in his heart, but he said with a serious face: "Queen, this is wrong. The dog died in the battlefield and the horse leather was wrapped in the corpse. That was him. It is a pity that he has failed the princess because of his shallow luck. The queen no longer needs to blame herself." Li Er coughed dryly, changed the unpleasant topic, and asked casually: "Uncle, who were the ministers when you came in. Are you still outside the palace gate?" "If we go back to the emperor, there are still a few ministers waiting outside the palace." "I don't want to leave yet. Needless to say, the real master has not shown up, so I will send a few of them to serve as the vanguard. I really don¡¯t want me to live in peace,¡± Li Er said with a sullen expression. Changsun Wuji said softly: "Then what does the emperor plan to do with Liu Yuan?" Upon hearing this, Li Er gritted his teeth and said: "My daughter dares to bully, and even dares to slander the reputation of the royal family. I can't wait to put him "If others heard Li Er say this, they would definitely be frightened, thinking that Li Er was really going to execute a great hero. However, when Changsun Wuji heard this, his heart relaxed and he seemed to feel relaxed. stand up. The monarch and his ministers have worked together for many years, and Changsun Wuji knows Li Er too well. With his personality, he would either turn a blind eye and indulge, or he would act cleanly and leave no legacy. If Li Er remained silent. On the contrary, it is dangerous. Xuanwu Sect is the most classic example. On the contrary, the fact that he used threatening words like this shows that he does not have murderous intention in his body, or in other words, his murderous intention is not strong. I wish I could kill him. That means he cannot be killed. Otherwise, as the king of a country, who is determined to kill someone, who can stop him? Changsun Wuji was as clear as a mirror: The emperor is looking for a way to balance, or to put it simply, looking for a step to climb down. Now it's good, he can put half of the Changluo Expressway in his arms. Of course, the premise is that Li Er keeps this attitude and can find a way to balance. "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible." Although he understood what Li Er meant. However, Changsun Wuji still said with a serious face: "Killing Liu Yuan at this time will only cause a backlash from the subjects and destroy this good situation." "How could I not know?" Li Er said with a depressed face: "If it weren't for these concerns, I would have killed him long ago." Changsun Wuji smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, are you willing to kill such a talent?" "Liu Yuan can be called the lucky star of the Tang Dynasty. If there is any problem, it will become easy in his hands. : The most difficult Tubo. It can be said that everything such as finance, transportation, military information, military secrets, etc., were completely defeated in his hands. It became extremely simple in his hands. Such talents are extremely rare wherever they are placed. "He is a good person, but he has a lot of problems." After pondering for a while, Li Er said with some dissatisfaction. Changsun Wuji nodded: "There is an old saying. No gold is pure, and no man is perfect. The ancients were honest and never deceived, just like Liu Yuan. Literary talent and martial arts all have their merits, especially the mind. Good ideas are endless. He is poor and popular, but he is too unmotivated. He is tired of dealing with the opportunities that others dream of going to court. He has great opportunities, but he does not pay attention to his image. He is greedy for money and lust. Not to mention the hordes of wives and concubines at home, the Pei family's women are still There was no relationship, and now he caused such trouble. Not only did he make the Cui family of Qinghe very unhappy, but it also left a stain on his future career. "After finishing speaking, before Li Er could say anything, Changsun Wuji continued: " That's fine. If he was too perfect, we wouldn't dare to use him." Li Er nodded secretly. Changsun Wuji said it makes sense. As the saying goes, Liu Yuan acted too quickly and had too much background. Big, popular, and talented, especially leading troops in battles, he has unique talents. If such a person has no flaws, he really wouldn't dare to use it. "I'm used to it all," Li Er couldn't help but shook his head and said. "Yes, the emperor is eager for talents. In order to win over the talents, he really can't tolerate them. If he is given three points of color, he dares to open a dyeing workshop." Changsun Wuji was in a good mood. After his own persuasion, The hatred in Li Er's heart has been significantly reduced. In fact, it's good to think about it carefully. There are not many talents like Liu Yuan. If Liu Yuan is not married yet, Li Er is willing to choose all the princesses and directors Liu Yuan. The biggest problem is Liu Yuan. They are already married. Having this attitude is enough. In this case, all you need to do is?If we tap somewhere else to give Li Er a step to get down, then the solution to this matter will be just around the corner. "Get out of the way, get out of the way, I want to see my father and the queen." "Princess, princess, the emperor and the queen are meeting with Lord Changsun now. They have told not to let anyone disturb you, so you better please go back." "Get out of here. , I am the princess, what are you slaves going to do?" Just when everyone was chatting, there was a sudden quarrel outside. The three people present were familiar with the voice. It was the voice of Changle Master Li Lizhi, who was heard just now. Secretly happy, Changsun Wuji felt a thrill in his heart and shouted in his heart: Not good. Sure enough, a look of worry appeared on Queen Changsun's face, and Li Er's face suddenly turned livid. At this time, Li Lizhi, who was surrounded by several palace maids and eunuchs, had already rushed into the Li Zheng Palace. When she saw Li Er and Queen Changsun, she said anxiously: "Father and Queen, these servants don't let Chang Le see their father." "Emperor, Queen." "Your Majesty, Queen, I am so incompetent that I have never been able to stop the princess" said a eunuch with a troubled look on his face. Being a slave like them, it is most difficult to be caught between the two. The emperor and queen have to obey their orders, but the princess is not an ordinary person, so you can't use force on her. Empress Changsun was still the kindest. She waved to them and said, "Okay, everything is fine here. You all can retreat." "Yes, empress." After hearing this, all the maids and eunuchs quickly retreated as if they had been honored. Changsun Wuji saw something was wrong in the atmosphere, and was afraid that Li Lizhi would offend Li Er, who had just calmed down a bit. He couldn't help but smile and said: "It turns out to be Changle. Are you looking for your father, the queen, and the queen, is there something urgent?" "Changle has seen my uncle." In front of Changsun Wuji, Li Lizhi did not dare to call herself the palace. Her uncle had a very high status in the eyes of her father and mother. Even the queen had to respectfully call her brother when she saw Changsun Wuji. While saluting, he said: "I met my father for some urgent matters. I was anxious and acted recklessly, which made my uncle laugh." "You still know how to be reckless?" Before Changsun Wuji could speak, Li Er was already standing aside with an unhappy look on his face. He lectured: "What do I usually ask of you? As a princess, I do things in a hurry. I advance without thinking and retreat without any measure. This is simply a loss of my royal style." Li Er said these words with a strong voice. Li Lizhi, who was a little rash just now, was scolded to lower her head, her face turned red, and she didn't even dare to look at Li Er. Li Er has never been so strict with himself. Of course, Li Lizhi has always behaved very well. In the eyes of Li Er and his wife, she is a worry-free and good girl. "Yes, my father, I know my guilt." Seeing Li Er's stern expression, Li Lizhi was also frightened, although she felt a little aggrieved. But he still admitted his mistake obediently. Queen Changsun on the side saw Li Lizhi lowering her head with a pitiful look on her face, especially since she had lost her appetite recently and had lost weight. She felt heartbroken when she saw Queen Changsun. All children belong to their parents. A pet peeve. Besides, I have always loved this daughter very much. When I heard that my husband had scolded my daughter to tears, I couldn¡¯t help but protect her and said: "Your Majesty, it¡¯s okay. Changle knows she is wrong, so please stop scolding her." , then turned to Changle and said: "Changle, you are so anxious to see your father, do you have anything important to do?" "Changle, your father and your uncle are discussing state affairs. If you have nothing important to do, go back first. Let's go." Changsun Wuji said to the side. Firstly, he was afraid that the father and daughter would quarrel and it would not end well. Secondly, Changsun Wuji was also afraid that Li Lizhi would talk about Liu Yuan's affairs and cause Li Er's dissatisfaction. "Thank you for your uncle's instruction. Changle knows his mistake, but he has something important to do with his father on this trip." "What do you think you have to do with me?" Li Lizhi hesitated for a moment, but quickly said: "Father, , I heard that you sent General Yangwei to the sky prison, is this happening? " " This is going to be worse. Changsun Wuji on the side was dumbfounded when he heard this: This is a pot that cannot be opened. "That's right, I threw him into the prison. Changle, what, do you have any objections?" Li Er's face turned a little darker. Unfortunately, Li Lizhi, who was anxious for the moment, didn't notice it. However, she probably saw it. Still can't help but say it. Li Lizhi couldn't help but get excited and said loudly: "Father, how could you treat a hero like this? General Liu made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Not long ago, he broke through Luoche City and captured the Tibetan generals. Zan Gampo, these are unparalleled feats. General Liu has been thrown into the Heavenly Army before he returned to the city. I am afraid that the people of the world will have objections." As expected, Changsun Wuji was stunned. After a while, I almost fainted: Changle, Changle, where has your usual cleverness gone? Today, I chose to plead for Liu Yuan in this concern. Is this a plea for mercy? It's obviously adding fuel to the fire, people in this worldEveryone could plead for Liu Yuan, but she couldn't. If it was someone else who begged for mercy, Li Er would definitely not do anything to him out of love. After all, what he said was the truth. The more people said it, the lower the level. But as soon as Li Lizhi said it, the whole matter immediately It just changed. What does this mean? This was posted by the royal princess on her own initiative? It wasn't that Liu Yuan had deceived her emotions with his sweet words. Was this a princess trying to seduce a married man? The royal face was completely embarrassed by her. ??Especially for a face-friendly person like Li Er. Li Er's tone became colder again, and he said coldly: "Oh, you mean, I did something wrong?" Although Li Lizhi heard that her father was dissatisfied, her voice also became colder, and she felt a little scared. , but when I think of Liu Yuan being sent to the sky prison, the sky prison, where is that place? It is a place where felons are imprisoned. The environment is terrible. It is said that the guards inside also like to torture and interrogate prisoners. That prison, It's not a restaurant. Who knows what will happen after entering. When Li Lizhi heard that Liu Yuan had returned in triumph, she was secretly happy, especially since Liu Yuan had achieved great success in Tubo. In the Tang Dynasty, his reputation had soared, and his subjects were all He was included in the list of famous generals, but he did not expect that he would finally plead guilty and ask for a marriage in public. However, the father ignored the pleas of his subjects and insisted on sending Liu Yuan to the sky prison, and refused to meet the civil and military officials who pleaded for mercy. He was frightened all of a sudden, fearing that Liu Yuan would make a mistake, so he barged in like this. Hearing that everything Liu Yuan had done was to ask for a marriage, Li Lizhi was deeply moved, and a sweetness seeped into her blood and passed through her heart. Then spread the report to the whole body, let alone the urge to watch until the clouds clear and the moon shines. The IQ of men and women in love will plummet. In desperation, the above things happened. Liu Yuan did it because of himself. He had just been thrown into the sky prison by his father. He couldn't ignore this matter. He not only had to take care of it, but he also had to do it quickly to prevent him from suffering physical pain. Li Er glanced at Li Lizhi and asked word by word: "Changle, I'm asking you. You answer truthfully, without even a word of lies." "Yes, Father." "I'm asking you, can you? Are you engaged in a lifelong private relationship with Liu Yuan? " "Yes" "Have you and Liu Yuan ever had physical contact?" Li Lizhi bit her lip, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, please grant me your permission. " With a "pop" sound, Li Eryi slapped Li Lizhi on the face. There were five clearly visible palm prints on that pretty face that had attracted everyone's attention. Then, Li Er pointed at Li Lizhi's face and cursed: "You think it's embarrassing, aren't you embarrassed enough? Your Do you really think that others don't know about this trivial matter? If this matter spreads, the royal family will laugh out loud. You are a princess and should be a role model for girls who have not left the palace. You are a princess and a princess who has not left the palace. There are four virtues, a woman's virtue, a woman's words, a woman's appearance, and a woman's merits. Among these four, virtue is the first. I ask you again, since ancient times, marriage has been based on the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Your father, queen, and queen are still alive. In this world, when has it been your turn to make the right decision? You have a physical relationship before you leave the palace, and you can still speak so confidently. Where is your virtue? " This slap was crisp and loud. Not only the queen was shocked, but also those on the sidelines. Empress Changsun was also dumbfounded by the scolding, and became angry and fired. Even if Empress Changsun and Changsun Wuji wanted to help each other, they could not help. It's been a long, long time. Everyone has forgotten the last time Li Er was so angry. If I remember correctly, it should be traced back to the Xuanwu Gate Incident. That is to say, Li Er has not been so angry for more than 20 years. This time Suddenly, he got really angry. "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" He couldn't bear to bear it, and now he actually slapped himself. The pain in her heart was many times greater than the pain on her face. Li Lizhi realized it, lowered her head, and cried with aggrievedness and sadness. "Your Majesty, your Majesty, please calm down. Changle is still a child. Sometimes he does something wrong without knowing it. Don't get angry." As soon as Changsun Wuji saw Li Er getting angry, he quickly walked up to him and blocked the two people. , for fear that Li Er would make some irreparable mistakes in his rage. Even if a tiger is poisonous, it cannot eat its own daughter. No matter how ignorant she is, she is still her own daughter. Li Er reprimanded his daughter, but Empress Changsun did not say anything, because Li Lizhi did indeed do something wrong. In order to maintain the reputation of the royal family, her husband reprimanded her, doing things in public rather than in private, which was natural and justified. However, her husband suddenly slapped her, and her daughter's face was completely covered. It was swollen, and Empress Changsun felt heartache all of a sudden. This slap seemed to have hit her daughter, but the pain was in her own heart. She immediately pulled Li Lizhi into her arms to protect her, and said to Li Er with a guilty look on her face. : "Seeing that Changle has done something wrong, I, the concubine, who is the queen, also made a mistake, please forgive me, Your Majesty."Let¡¯s punish the concubines together. " Empress Changsun knew that Liu Yuan had been stabbed by the knife, but he just fainted and his body was not seriously injured. Her husband also ordered him to be given a clean cell and did not execute him. Besides, he was still popular because of his popularity. With the influence of the Cui family in Qinghe, he will not suffer much. Why should Liu Yuan be okay and his most beloved daughter should bear his anger for him? "Yes, Your Majesty, everything will be well with the family, and everything will be discussed." Changsun Wuji? He said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, do you remember that you promised that day that you would not interfere with Changle's marriage and let her pursue her own happiness. This is a promise that the dead child exchanged for Changle with his life. As the saying goes, you have no intention of interfering with Changle's marriage." Joking, Your Majesty, a child cannot be raised by his mother, nor can a girl be raised by her mother. Not many people know about this matter, and I will not hide it from the Emperor. It is because the Emperor and the Queen just talked about it, and I learned that as long as the words are kept confidential, there are people in the world. who knows? Who else believes it? " Li Er said hesitantly: "But, this" Facing Liu Yuan, Li Er could argue with Liu Yuan, and immediately blackened the two trump cards. It was clear that the big one was bullying the small one, but the eldest grandson had no choice. Ji's identity is very different from Liu Yuan's. Firstly, Changsun Wuji is an important minister whom he relies on very much. Secondly, he is the uncle of the state, so he can't speak harshly to him. Seeing her husband's softened attitude, Queen Changsun also took the opportunity to say. : ¡°Your Majesty, can¡¯t you find a way to get the best of both worlds? " "Father," Li Lizhi suddenly knelt on the ground and said with a sad face: "It was my daughter who was ignorant and did something wrong, which made the father so angry, made the mother worried, and even brought shame to the royal family. My sons and ministers are willing to take refuge in my Buddha, stay with the green lantern all the time, chant sutras every day, and pray to the Bodhisattva to bless the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and to bless my father and mother to be strong and healthy. I only hope that my father can let Liu Yuan go. I can't thank you enough for this? "What? Escape into Buddhism? A princess actually wants to escape into Buddhism and stay with the Buddha forever. How cruel this is to a woman who is as beautiful as a flower. "Changle, what are you talking about? Your mother forbids you to say this. " Empress Changsun said categorically. Although Empress Changsun believed in Buddhism, she did not want her daughter to become a nun. In this way, her life's happiness would be ruined. Changsun Wuji also persuaded him: "Changle, what are you doing? To be so serious, your father taught you with deep love and deep hatred. You should understand his good intentions and what you said. What a worry for my father and queen. " The two brothers and sisters acted as "peacemakers" and wanted to resolve the conflict between father and daughter as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, the beauty and kindness of Empress Li Lizhi's eldest grandson also inherited Li Er's persistence and strength in her heart, which can be said to be typical A person who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside can be frightening if he doesn't move. Li Er's anger that had just calmed down suddenly became fierce again. He pointed at Li Lizhi and yelled: "Go, I won't stop you." " "Ugh" Li Lizhi's tears that she had held back for a long time were like broken beads, and they poured down all of a sudden. She said "Thank you, father" and rushed out crying, scaring Empress Changsun. He glared at Li Er and rushed out in a hurry. This was the moment when his daughter was at her most vulnerable. He was afraid that she wouldn't be able to look away. When he heard his daughter say "Thank you, Father," Li Er said. He suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart. He seemed to see a huge gap separating the father and daughter who had a good relationship before. The distance between the two father and daughter was getting farther and farther, and he even felt that their eyes were a little strange to each other. " Alas, she is really an outgoing girl, with her elbows turned outward. "Li Er watched Empress Changsun's back disappear from sight. Not only was she a little sad, but she also sat helplessly in front of the desk. Her face, which had always been confident, also had a look of defeat. "After all, people are human beings, and they have seven emotions and six desires. He is a superior emperor. He can control the destiny of others, control the world, and make everyone obey his will. However, he cannot discipline his children well. His children are either jealous or at odds with each other. He wished that he could be favored by thousands of people and give the throne and the world to only him. Li Er was constantly troubled and heartbroken for him. He never expected that the daughter he was most proud of and loved the most would treat him like this. No wonder. "It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs." This sentence also applies to the royal family. Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes and lost no time in saying: "A few years ago, both of my parents died. Fortunately, my uncle took me in. The emperor was a high-spirited and personable man. The beautiful young man, I don¡¯t know how many princes, nobles, and women from famous families have secretly made eyes at the emperor. The ice man who came to talk about marriage almost stepped down the threshold, but the emperor resolutely took the queen who was living under a stranger. The old minister Xinyi thought, this might be Qianli Marriage is tied by a thin thread, a good match sent by God, and a perfect match created by earth. " Hearing Changsun Wuji's memories, Li Er couldn't help but think of the surprise he felt when he saw Queen Changsun for the first time. The two just looked at each other.Looking at each other, there was a tacit feeling of understanding between them. It felt like the two had known each other for a long time. At that moment, Li Er already felt that the woman in front of him was his wife, so Li Er He rejected many women who were rich, powerful, powerful or had a great background, and insisted on marrying the eldest grandson Queen who was dependent on others. Of course, Gao Shilian¡¯s energy was not bad back then. "Yes, God has been kind to me. Fortunately, I have Guanyin Maid all these years. With Guanyin Maid by my side, I feel at ease. After so many years, I can't live without Guanyin Maid." Li Er recalled. , said with a smile. Changsun Wuji also nodded and said: "Without the emperor's care, my eldest grandson's family will not regain its glory." "Okay, we monarchs and ministers are one, so there is no need to talk about these things anymore. Uncle Guo, you can also see this. Now, tell me, how should I deal with this matter?" "Actually, this is a good thing," Changsun Wuji said with a serious face. Li Er looked at Changsun Wuji, and then whispered: "How can you see it?" "The imperial power and the nobles have only eased, but have not been resolved. Those noble families still have a large number of troops in their hands. We must guard against them. Loving couples sometimes quarrel, and even the best of friends sometimes have disagreements. If Liu Yuan completely leans towards the nobility, Your Majesty, think about it, a thousand or hundreds of people can show such great power in his hands, then ten What about someone who is twice or a hundred times more terrifying?" After a pause, Changsun Wuji continued: "Ruoyan makes him neutral and allows him to continue to be a weapon in the hands of the emperor, a weapon to conquer the world and open up frontiers. A sharp weapon made of earth, why not do it? Gains and losses, gains and losses, there must be losses. It is hard to buy a good thing for a thousand gold, and it is hard to find a "qingren" for ten thousand gold. A gentleman has the beauty of being an adult. As a parent, if you accomplish good things, what's wrong with it? "Okay?" "Uncle Guo means that I should agree?" Li Er said with a frown. "This matter requires the emperor's decision." Changsun Wuji said in a low voice: "What I have thought of, the emperor must have thought of it. Now it's just a fiddle." Li Er thought for a while, patted the case and said solemnly: "It's hard to calm down, it's hard to calm down." Changsun Wuji is very smart. He knows that Li Er must have thought of what he thought. He let himself say that it was just for some psychological comfort and to wait for others to agree with him. plan, so that he can appear more confident about what he is doing. As a minister, he has no decision-making power. Changsun Wuji will naturally not be stupid enough to help Li Er make decisions. In this way, he will slowly lose his mind. Trusting, because no one likes a person who is careless and hastily helps others make decisions. He expressed his irrelevant opinions and strengthened Liu Yuan's role. Changsun Wuji also found an opportunity to say goodbye and leave. After Changsun Wuji left, Li Er was the only one left sitting quietly in front of the table in the huge Li Zheng Hall, with a few memorials. On ordinary days, the diligent Li Er would not say anything and would immediately approve it. The memorial came up, but today was an exception. I left the memorial alone and kept thinking about how to deal with my daughter's matter. It would be best for everyone to be happy After thinking about it for a while, Li Er didn't know why, but the clearly visible slap on his daughter Li Lizhi's face suddenly appeared in his mind, and his heart ached all of a sudden. The culprit was fine, but his daughter had to suffer for him first. The boss felt unbalanced in his heart, and suddenly, Li Er wanted to see what Liu Yuan's expression looked like now, so he couldn't help shouting: "Come here!" "Your Majesty." A man on duty immediately opened the door and came in. He stood respectfully in front of Li Er and listened to the order. Prepare the car, I'm going to Tianlao. "Li Er said lightly. PS: Everyone thought there was only one chapter, but in fact, this can be counted as two chapters
