Compared with the magnates of this era, Li Su can really be regarded as pure-hearted and has few desires. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Other powerful families have a group of wives and concubines, the original match of the famous main room, and a large group of concubines, this is not enough, every other day to buy some kaki and maiko at home, queue up in turn, and what's more, the head of the house is tired of playing with women, so he plays with men, buys a few handsome men, and does some elegant things like peach and broken sleeves, and sometimes suddenly has desire. Look, casually pulled a passing maid to press on and do things, and when he was done, he put on his pants and left, as if nothing had happened.

The next person has no human rights and no identity, if the favored woman has a little posture, the next day it often inexplicably becomes a floating corpse in the well, the back house of the high-ranking family has become the most primitive and barbaric hunting ground that follows the law of the jungle, the wives and concubines with status fight for status, and the people without identity struggle for survival, and the chaos of cannibalism in the back house seems to outsiders to be a happy picture of a weak wife and concubine.

Among the noble families of the Tang Dynasty, Li Su can pat his chest and say that the Li family is the cleanest and purest, and there is no one.

It is also a high-ranking family, a pivotal figure in Chang'an City, even Li Shimin must listen to him honestly when he says a word, but in the Li family's mansion, there have never been those messy things, no concubines, no Kabuki, only one original wife in the main room, and never regarded any maid as inappropriate, no matter how much mistake the subordinate made, at best, he would be smoking.

To be able to do this under such an atmosphere in Datang, Li Su felt that Li Shimin should really award him a pennant like a "moral model" and hang it on the door.

As for Dongyang, Li Su's gentle and quiet face appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Whether it has been difficult or happy in these years, now, it can be regarded as complete.

*******************************************************************

Taiji Palace Liangyi Palace.

Li Shimin was holding a feast and drinking.

There are not many guests today, there is only one, Li Zhi, the king of Jin.

Li Shimin sat in the hall, Li Zhi's table was close to him, and the dancers in the inner workshop of the Taichang Temple in the hall danced to the melodious sound of silk and bamboo pipes, and the graceful and enchanting dance made the father and son frequently show a satisfied smile.

"The pheasant slave is about to leave Beijing, come, and drink this cup with me." Li Shimin smiled at Li Zhi with a cup.

Li Zhi didn't realize it, and a pair of misty eyes were still staring at the dancing Maiko in the hall.

Li Shimin frowned, and called a few more times, Li Zhi seemed to be shocked, hurriedly confessed, and drank the wine glass in both hands.

Li Shimin put down his wine glass and chuckled: "The pheasant slave was born in the deep palace since he was a child, and has never left Chang'an, and the road to Bingzhou is far away, and the state is located in the north, which is quite close to Xue Yantuo back then. ”

Li Zhi thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Erchen has visited the old generals in Chang'an City these days, asking for advice and state strategy, according to the old generals, Erchen thinks that 20,000 soldiers and horses are stationed in the state, which can be suppressed at the same time, Xue Yantuo is already a bandit and the like, and the state soldiers and horses can be reduced to zero, attacking from all sides, taking the campfire as a team, attacking in batches, and issuing a decree on the history of the state assassination, and the villages outside the city set up wolf smoke beacon towers, and the squires and landlords of each village organized a regimental guard of less than 100 young and strong people, but if there is an enemy situation, they will raise wolf smoke, and they will be surrounded from all sides, and at the same time, Another good general can be sent to lead thousands of soldiers and horses north into the desert grassland, sweep the border, search for mountains and water, cut off its roots, and cut off its food source. ”

Li Shimin looked at him in surprise: "This is what the pheasant slave came up with by himself?" ”

Li Zhi smiled embarrassedly: "Erchen doesn't dare to deceive his father, some of these ideas are taught by the old generals, and some are taught by Zizheng's brother, and Erchen is just a list of the best ones......"

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Being able to say these words, it can be seen that my son is extraordinary, the superior does not have to bow down to make decisions, it is enough to know people and things, and my son lives up to my expectations, good." ”

In the main hall, the graceful dancers were dancing Hu Xuan, and Miao Man's posture writhed as quickly as the wind shook a wicker, revealing a fatal temptation that hit the man's heart.

Li Shimin was well-informed, and he turned his head after a casual glance, but today's Li Zhi seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, staring at the dancers without blinking, swallowing saliva from time to time in his throat, and looking a little out of shape.

Li Shimin glanced at him, and a chuckle appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I suddenly found that Li Zhi is sixteen years old this year, and he is already an adult man, and he naturally has a desire for women. Looked.

Li Shimin coughed twice, Li Zhi was shocked, hurriedly came back to his senses, and smiled embarrassedly at Li Shimin, his smile was as shy and shy as ever.

Putting down the wine glass, a gloomy light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he still looked at Li Zhi with a smile.

"Pheasant slave, have you heard of the recent rumors in Beijing?"

Li Zhi's innocent eyes blinked, and said, "If what my father is referring to is the assassination of Feng Du, the son will naturally hear about it." ”

Li Shimin said leisurely: "This case has been handed over to Dali Temple and the Criminal Department for investigation, yesterday Dali Temple played, saying that when Feng Du was stabbed, your car happened to pass by the place of the crime, and at the same time outside the Jingyang Palace where you lived, they found a broken sword, and the preliminary judgment was the murder weapon that assassinated Feng Du, that is to say, in the case of Feng Du being stabbed, you have been suspected of pheasant slaves, I believe that my son is temperamental, and will never do this great evil, but now Chang'an City is full of storms, everyone thinks you are the real murderer, why didn't the pheasant slave confess to me? ”

The corners of his lips hooked, Li Shimin looked at him with complicated eyes, and said: "Caught in the gossip, I heard that you are still unmoved, often go out of the palace to play with Li Su, and are still in the mood to visit the two markets, and buy a lot of flashy things, pheasant slave, I really can't figure it out, why are you so calm?" ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Shimin with an innocent face, and said: "Father, the son knows that he is listed as a suspect by Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, but ,...... This case was not committed by Erchen at all, why can't Erchen be calm? ”

"The three of them became tigers, and everyone was golden, and now the subjects of the whole city suspect that it is you, even if you haven't done it, but everyone has regarded you as the real murderer, aren't you afraid that the suspicion will be qualified, and this case will be determined as an iron case?"

Li Zhi smiled and smiled innocently: "Those who are clear are self-purifying, if they haven't done it, they haven't done it, what are you afraid of?" Under the rule of his father, his son is the prince, are you still afraid of being framed? ”

Li Shimin laughed: "Okay, you are worthy of being my pheasant slave, I have always felt that you are still the child who was wronged and cried at every turn, and today you are not flustered when you encounter something, it can be seen that the pheasant slave has really grown up, and I am very relieved." ”

Li Zhi lowered his head and said, "Father, do you really believe me?" ”

Li Shimin looked at him seriously, and said in an aggravated tone: "Pheasant slave, I believe you, you have always been a good boy, unlike other princes, you will never do such a vicious thing." ”

Li Zhi raised his head and looked directly into his eyes, and said with a smile: "Erchen will not live up to the trust of his father, presumably Dali Temple and the Criminal Department are about to find out the results, so Erchen will stay in Chang'an for a few more days, and then leave Chang'an to go to the state after the truth is revealed." ”

Li Shimin nodded: "It's okay, when the matter is found out, and after my son is innocent, I will also teach the people of the world to be ashamed, so that they can open their eyes and see clearly, my pheasant slave white jade is flawless and spotless." ”

"Thank you for your father's compliment."

Li Shimin replied with a complicated smile, not knowing what he was thinking.

The singing and dancing in the hall is coming to an end, and the first Maiko spins faster and faster in the center of the hall, and the rhythm of the drums becomes more and more rapid.

Li Zhi's eyes were fixed on the maiko again, and he didn't blink, and there was a little longing in his eyes.

Li Shimin saw it in his eyes, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly pointed at the maiko and smiled: "Pheasant slave, is this girl good?" ”

"Huh? Uh, Father...... The father forgave the sin, and the son drank too much and lost his temper after getting drunk. Li Zhi hurriedly made amends.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Today is the third time you have wandered, do you have a soft spot for this woman?" ”

Li Zhi smiled awkwardly and shook his head again and again: "The retainer is drunk, and the emperor is out of order." ”

Li Shimin glanced at him quickly, and saw that Li Zhi's face was flushed, and even his eyes were bloodshot, but he couldn't tell whether he was drunk or fascinated by beauty.

After a moment of silence, Li Shimin suddenly laughed: "The young man knows that he is lustful and admires Shaoai, this is common sense, how can he blame him?" ”

With a long sigh, Li Shimin said as if stunned: "Even my pheasant slave has grown up, and he has completely grown into a male husband, and the years have really passed like a white horse......

"In the eyes of the sons, my father is still as young as he was back then."

Li Shimin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If you can deceive others, how can you deceive yourself?" Being old is being old, even if I am the son of heaven who is powerful all over the world, I can't compete with the vicissitudes of time. ”

After speaking, Li Shimin straightened his waist, pointed to the maiko who led the dance in the center of the hall, and said loudly: "Pheasant slave, I will give you this woman today, and take her back to the dormitory for a while." ”

Li Zhi showed a look of surprise, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your father's generous gift." ”

Turning his head to look at the maiko who was also bowing his head, Li Zhi's eyes suddenly rose with desire. The fire of hope, that is the most real desire of men for women. Hope.

Li Shimin smiled faintly, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Pheasant slave, the year before last, I gave you the Taiyuan Wang family to marry you as the concubine of the King of Jin, and now that you are an adult, you may be able to get married, what does the pheasant slave want?" ”

Li Zhi was stunned, blinked, and said, "Erchen...... The sons and daughters are all in charge of their fathers. ”

Li Shimin was very satisfied with Li Zhi's answer, and said with a smile: "In this way, I will issue an order tomorrow to order the Taiyuan Wang clan to send the clan daughter to Chang'an, and the pheasant slave will simply wait for the big wedding before leaving Beijing." ”

"Yes, my son obeys."

After singing and dancing, at the end of the banquet, Li Zhi retired and led the maiko to respectfully exit the hall.

Turning right when he went out, Li Zhi's steps were not hurried or slow, until he was dozens of zhang away from the Liangyi Palace, Li Zhi's footsteps slowed down, looked up at the sky, and exhaled softly.

…………

Inside the Liangyi Palace.

Chang Tu's old figure appeared in the hall like a ghost.

Li Shimin was slightly drunk, supported his head with one hand, closed his eyes to recuperate, I don't know how long it took, and said lightly as if speaking to the air: "Send more people to continue to strictly investigate the case of Feng Du's assassination, especially to find out whether this case was committed by King Jin." ”

Chang Tu glanced up at Li Shimin in surprise, and then lowered his head, and said yes.

The emperor would never trust anyone, not even his favorite son. Therefore, the emperor is lonely, and the successful emperor must be lonely.

At this moment, a faint sadness suddenly appeared in Chang Tu's heart.
