A lively banquet lasted for more than an hour, compared with previous years, Li Mancang and his son sat there and drank differently, but this year, there were many people who took the initiative to greet and toast Li Xun and his son, and took out the name card to Li Xun, so that he had time to visit his mansion.

In the middle of the banquet, Zhao Zhi left, after all, he was fifty or sixty years old, and he didn't have so much energy to accompany him all the time, and as the emperor, no one dared to let him accompany him.

Li Yi, Yang Shuhui and some princes and princesses also left after Zhao Zhi, they all went to the Longyuan Palace, after all, in a real sense, they and Zhao Zhi are a real family, it is too noisy here, they went to the Longyuan Palace, and said that some parents were short, but they were also quieter.

At five o'clock, the feast was finally over, and everyone began to disperse to their homes.

"Are you alright, old man!"

Li Xun helped Li Mancang, many people came over to toast tonight, Li Mancang couldn't drink enough, he drank more wine glasses, his face was flushed, his body staggered, and he was obviously a little drunk.

Li Mancang shook his hand: "I'm fine, this bit of wine is nothing." ”

Li Xun smiled bitterly twice, how could a drunk person say that he was drunk?

Just as he was about to help Li Mancang leave, a eunuch ran over at this time: "General Li, the emperor has summoned you, come with me!" ”

What are you summoning me for?

Li Xun didn't ask much, and asked the eunuch who was passing the word to find two palace people and send Li Mancang out of the imperial city, and the subordinates in the family were waiting outside in a carriage.

When I arrived at the gate of the Dragon Garden Palace, I happened to meet Li Yi coming out.

"Auntie, Cousin King Qi has already gone back?"

"Your cousin doesn't like this noisy environment and has long since left."

Li Yi looked at Li Xun slightly, and several eunuchs next to him immediately understood, bowed, and then retreated.

Li Yi approached Li Xun and whispered, "Dog, don't you feel very strange that the emperor summoned you at this time?" ”

Li Xun nodded and said meaningfully: "It's very strange, but what do you want to ask me?" ”

Li Yi glanced at Li Xun appreciatively, this nephew has become much smarter, and he immediately guessed something.

"Although the emperor didn't say it, but suddenly summoning you at this time, I'm afraid it has something to do with Huang Xu."

Although he had guessed Zhao Zhi's intentions, hearing Li Yi say this, Li Xun's face immediately showed nervousness: "Auntie, if the emperor's uncle asks, how should I answer?" ”

"Why are you so nervous?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "I have already told the emperor about the confession, if the emperor asks later, you can tell the truth, and my aunt will take care of the rest for you." ”

Li Xun nodded, bowed to Li Yi, and then walked into the Dragon Garden Palace.

The light in the hall was a little dim, Zhao Zhigao sat on top, the whole person sat reclining, supporting his head with one hand, and was sleeping there.

Li Xun walked to the middle of the main hall, knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and shouted a few times to the emperor's uncle, but Zhao Zhi didn't make any moves, as if he was asleep.

Li Xun raised his head and looked at the shepherd beside Zhao Zhi, with a look of help in his eyes.

Mu Gong shook his head lightly at Li Xun and didn't say anything.

Li Xun sighed in his heart, Zhao Zhi was obviously looking at his face, yes, whether he was asleep or not, he would kneel like this first.

In the past half an hour, Li Xun knelt on the ground, really a little uncomfortable, the hour was not early, he may have slept at this time in the past, and he drank a lot of wine at night, and the whole person was drowsy, but there were bursts of soreness in his knees, which offset the sleepy thoughts, which was really uncomfortable.

Li Xun, who hung his head and was listless, glanced up unintentionally, but suddenly found that Zhao Zhizheng was staring at him silently.

Li Xun's spirit was shocked, and he kowtowed a few times, and shouted loudly: "The dog kowtowed to the emperor's uncle." ”

Zhao Zhi just looked at Li Xun quietly and didn't say anything.

Li Xun's scalp was numb when Zhao Zhi looked at him, and he asked cautiously: "Uncle Emperor, what did the dog do wrong?" ”

Zhao Zhi said lightly: "What did you do, you don't know yourself?" ”

"The dog knows his mistake, and he will never dare to expire the emperor's uncle in the future, and he also asks the emperor's uncle to give the dog a chance to change his life and establish a new one."

Li Xun had a wry smile on his face, Zhao Zhi never mentioned the confession, Li Xun couldn't say many of the words he had thought about in advance, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he had to lie on the ground and admit his mistake loudly.

On weekdays, Zhao Zhi said a few sentences, but he didn't feel anything, once he touched his bottom line principle, Zhao Zhi didn't say anything, just sat there silently, Li Xun couldn't stand it, but felt that kind of invisible pressure, so that his whole mind was trembling, and the king was like a tiger, and the ancient saying was not deceitful.

"I, naturally, will give you a chance."

"Dog, the simplicity and sincerity in you, I like it very much, maybe with the increase of experience, the growth of age, you will have a lot of changes, but I hope that you can retain some of that simplicity and sincerity, become the bottom line and principle in your heart, a person with a bottom line and principles, in the complex road of life, it is possible to maintain the right direction without losing yourself."

Zhao Zhi said earnestly.

Mu Gong secretly glanced at Zhao Zhi, serving Zhao Zhi for so many years, there are not many people who can get Zhao Zhi's long words and teachings so carefully, it seems that in Zhao Zhi's heart, he really treats Li Xun as his junior, otherwise he will never say so much.

Li Xun's whole body shook violently, looked straight at Zhao Zhi, and nodded vigorously: "Uncle Emperor, don't worry, no matter now or in the future, the dog will not change." ”

Zhao Zhi shook his head, the long road of life, can always keep his heart unchanged, how many people can do it?

"It's getting late, let's go home!"

"The dog is leaving, and the emperor's uncle should also rest early."

Li Xun stood up, bowed, turned to leave, walked a few steps, stopped, turned around, and had a hesitant look on his face, as if he didn't know whether to say something or not......

"What else do you want to say?"

Li Xun hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, and arched his hand: "Uncle Emperor, can you.... Let Wang Qili have a way to live? ”

Zhao Zhiwei was surprised, and said a little strangely: "Wang Qili has a grudge against you in the past, and he has a grudge recently, what does his life and death have to do with you?" ”

"No one is perfect.....

Wang Qili's ancestors, in fact, is also a relatively large clan, but to his grandfather's generation, decay, his father is a famous gambler in Beijing, and finally even his own life is gambling in, Wang Qili and his mother since childhood, when he grew up, he was extremely filial to his mother, his mother was thirteen years old when Wang Qili was thirteen years old, disabled for some reason, and has been paralyzed in bed since then, after Wang Qili joined the forbidden army, he worked hard to make money, but not for himself, but once he had enough money, he was carrying his mother behind his back and looking for medical treatment everywhere, This has been the case for decades and has never given up.

After Wang Qili was arrested, Li Xun sent someone to check his old background, and under this investigation, he suddenly had a great sense of this person, and was also moved by his filial piety.

After talking about Wang Qili, Li Xun arched his hand and said: "Uncle Emperor, Wang Qili's nature is actually not bad, and he still has an old mother, a wife and a son in his family, if something happens to him, I'm afraid the whole family will be crossed." ”

Zhao Zhi glanced at Li Xun deeply, his face was always flat, and finally he had a smile and nodded, but he did not give any guarantees or words.

"Stand down! There are some things that you kid can't bother to ask about. ”

Li Xun sighed lightly in his heart, he said everything he should have said, for Wang Qili, it was already benevolent and righteous.
