After laughing for a while, he stepped forward again, grabbed Li Jing's shoulders hard, helped him up, and said with a smile: "The past, the times have changed, why should you and I bother with those stories that should have been recorded in the history books?" Let him pass all that has passed. ”

Li Jing got up and said movingly: "Your Majesty is magnanimous, but the old minister is sorry in his heart, how can he say that the past will pass?" ”

His Majesty Li Er took Li Jing's hand and said emotionally: "Over the years, I have often thought about the past in my heart, and although I have a grudge against you Gong Wei, I have also realized that I am not without mistakes. Knowing that you, Pharmacist Li, are the stubborn stone that can't be transformed into ancient times, he still expects you to make a decision that goes against your temperament...... Although you have never fought to the death with our brothers in the Xuanwu Sect, if it were not for your prestige and influence in the army, I am afraid that the outcome of the Xuanwu Sect would be completely different......

Li Jing really didn't expect His Majesty Li Er to say such a thing from the bottom of his heart, and he was so moved that he choked up and said: "Your Majesty, you can know that over the years, the old minister has always thought about the scene of the brothers fighting to the death in Xuanwu Gate, and regretted it like a poisonous snake devouring his heart......"

His Majesty Li Er patted his hand and said with a smile: "Put it down, put it down." We are all old, why should we indulge in the stories of the year? We should still look forward, come and come, and taste Changle's tea ceremony skills. ”

As he spoke, he pulled Li Jing to the side of the coffee table and sat down.

Li Jing naturally would not be rude, and said to Changle and Jinyang: "The old minister has seen the two highnesses......

Changle and Jinyang Qi refused to accept it, and returned the courtesy, and said: "Duke Wei is polite......"

Li Jing sat down at this time, and let Princess Jinyang obediently pour the teacup in front of him with pale green tea soup, the old face was full of smiles, carefully observed Princess Jinyang's complexion, and said to His Majesty Li Er: "Queen Wende was funeral back then...... The old minister saw that His Royal Highness Jinyang was not looking good, and he was afraid that he would be sick when he grew up, but now he looked at it because the qi and blood were smooth and the meridians were unblocked, and he was really worried about it. ”

Princess Jinyang smiled skillfully: "Thank you Duke Wei for your concern, now my son's body is really much better!" ”

His Majesty Li Er stretched out his hand to let Li Jing drink tea, and said with a smile: "Sun Simiao is already stationed in Guanzhong, and the old immortal is no longer traveling around the world when he is old, but he can often attack and regulate his son's body, which is all his credit." ”

As soon as Li Jing picked up the teacup, he heard Princess Jinyang say in a coquettish voice: "Although Sun Daochang has great medical skills, but his brother-in-law has also done a lot of hard work for his daughter's condition, and he prescribed a recipe for his daughter, even Sun Daochang also said that it is extremely beneficial to his daughter's condition......

When the little princess saw that His Majesty Li Er only praised Sun Simiao and credited Sun Simiao with all the credit for treating her condition, she was inevitably angry and protested.

His Majesty Li Er said helplessly: "Okay, okay, that mallet also has some credit...... It's just that if you don't get into trouble all the time. ”

Princess Jinyang said softly: "That's why someone else provokes your brother-in-law first......

Li Jing heard that Princess Jinyang had been defending this "brother-in-law", and said curiously: "Which colt is it?" ”

He naturally knew that His Majesty Li Er had many children and more than a dozen daughters, and it was said that Princess Jinyang should bring the title of the princess to show the difference when she called those concubines, but she was just called "brother-in-law" like this, which showed that she was really close.

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said, "It's not Fang Jun's house." ”

Li Jing suddenly said: "Oh, it turned out to be the mallet of Fang Er...... However, although the kid is reckless, his talent is unique, and it is never an exaggeration to praise the amazing talent, Fang Xuanling is so blessed, and His Majesty is also blessed! ”

His Majesty Li Er said "hey" and said, "What a blessing!" You only saw that when Fang Er's guy was brilliant, there were countless things and troubles behind his back, and he was so annoying that he was not angry to death! It's strange, how did Fang Xuanling, a gentle gentleman, give birth to such a troublemaker? ”

Li Jing laughed and said: "Your Majesty's words are biased, the more troublesome the child, the more promising he will be when he grows up, after all, Fang Er is a little younger, his experience is limited, and many times he comes with his temperament, and when a few years later, his temperament is stable, and he can become His Majesty's humerus." From the perspective of the old minister, this son is of course not as stable as Fang Xuanling, but his talent is far better than his father, and he is both civil and military. ”

After listening to Li Jing's praise, Princess Jinyang poured tea happily and said sweetly: "Duke Wei drinks tea." ”

However, he only poured tea for Li Jing and put His Majesty Li Er aside, obviously dissatisfied with His Majesty Li Er's evaluation, in protest......

His Majesty Li Er helplessly spread his hands: "Look, girls are outgoing, that's it." ”

Li Jing sighed: "Your Majesty teaches his son well, His Highness is innocent, and the old minister is really envious!" ”

The two talked for a while, Li Jing took out the letter, handed it to His Majesty Li Er with both hands, and said, "This is the resignation of the old minister, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it." ”

His Majesty Li Er didn't pick it up, but picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, stared at Li Jing's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Have you thought about it?" ”

Li Jing said indifferently: "I've thought about it...... At present, the national strength is prosperous and the army is invincible, where is there any place to use the old ministers to go into battle? A generation of new people replace the old, this is a manifestation of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and the old minister is extremely pleased. ”

His Majesty Li Er was silent for a moment and asked, "What are your plans for the future?" Or do you want to live in seclusion and avoid visitors? ”

Li Jing took a breath, put down the teacup, straightened his back, and said solemnly: "The old minister heard that Fang Xuanling wants to go to the south of the Yangtze River, and the old minister wants to go with him to appreciate the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and also meet the invincible sailors who are rampant in the seven seas. ”

This initiative represents a profound meaning.

The most important point is to be able to see His Majesty Li Er's attitude towards him now. He saw it, but he didn't know if His Majesty Li Er could see it, whether he could let him unload all the burdens on his body and travel lightly, and live the rest of his life according to his own wishes, or continue to stay in the mansion as a living dead......

So his heart was just clenching at the moment, staring straight at any expression on His Majesty Li Er's face.

His Majesty Li Er was silent for a moment, suddenly smiled, got up and said: "Just now, my son wrote a word, Wei Gong, you are a sage who is both civil and military, you might as well give some advice." ”

Li Jing was confused, just do it, if it doesn't work, I'll die, what words are you reading?

It's just that at this time, I had to get up, and with His Majesty Li Er, I stood next to the bookcase, leaned over slightly, and looked at the handwriting on the bookcase...... It is a song by Fang Jun's "Red Cliff Nostalgia".

"The east of the river goes to the waves, and the romantic characters ...... through the ages"

"Lupine scarf, talking and laughing, the canopy is in ashes......"

"The old country fugue, affectionate should laugh at me, early birth. Life is like a dream, and a statue is still ...... the river and the moon"

Is there anything else Li Jing doesn't understand?

This is simply a portrayal of the first half of his life, taking refuge in Li Tang, winning a hundred battles, breaking out of the prestige of the "god of the army" in the army, conquering the south and the north to conquer everything, even if the Turks who invaded the Central Plains and reached Chang'an, they still bowed down and disappeared.

Of course, the most important thing for the whole poem for him and for His Majesty Li Er is the last sentence _

Life is like a dream, and one is still in the moon......

Looking back, it was like a dream.

When the wind passes, the years are old, and the ambition goes with the great river, there is only a turbid wine to commemorate the bright moon......

Li Jing shook his head and smiled, turned to look at His Majesty Li Er and said, "I heard that Fang Erlang once recommended the old minister to serve as the great sacrificial wine of the martial arts hall?" ”

His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows: "This is indeed the case." ”

Li Jing hugged his fists and saluted, and said solemnly: "Although the old minister is old, he can't get on a horse or pull a bow, but he doesn't dare to forget what he has learned in his chest. Therefore, Lao Chen implored His Majesty to allow this matter, so that Lao Chen could have successors who had learned in his life, and he could make the last effort for His Majesty's grand cause and die without regrets. ”

After that, he calmly looked at His Majesty Li Er.

The more selfless, the more open-minded.

His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Jing, who was old and old, but still had a straight gaze in front of him, and was silent for a while, then bowed slightly.

"In this way, we still need to do our best to make our Tang army strong and prosperous."

As he spoke, he took Li Jing's piece of the cantata, didn't look at it, put it lightly on the desk, and said, "I will allow this recital." As for going to Jiangnan......" He raised his head, patted Li Jing's shoulder gently, and said with a smile: "This country was brought back by me and all Aiqing with flesh and blood, and Wei Gongzhi's contribution is outstanding, so the world is so big, where is there that you Pharmacist Li can't go?" ”

Li Jing let out a long breath, bowed down again, his eyes were moist, and said respectfully: "Old minister, thank you for your grace." ”

Years of jealousy, like a bubble, once disillusioned......
