Before noon, the two appeared in the Zhenguan Hall to see Gaozong.

Of course, they didn't appear together, when Li Zhi came, Princess Taiping rushed to Yingtianmen, and she was ordered to closely monitor all Li Zhi's actions in Luoyang.

Before she came, Li Zhi had already talked with Gaozong happily, and it was rare for Li Dan to appear here, which was the first time he returned to Luoyang after staying in Chang'an.

Conditioning Gaozong's body is now in a superficial form, and he still needs to be as careful as possible, because the true qi that wrapped the lesion before is gradually thinning, and if he is not careful, he will touch the sore spot.

What Li Zhi prepared for him was a special pill that was restructured on the basis of Yishou Dan, adding Tianshan Snow Lotus, but it was rejected by Gaozong, and the current Li Dan did not know about it.

Seeing that the conversation between the two of them was quite high-nature, but there was no involvement in his father's body, Li Dan frequently paid attention to Li Zhi's expression, and was seen by Gaozong.

So he smiled and said: "Wu'er can't blame Mr. Li, it's because my father refused to receive further treatment, there is no cure for the disease, and severe scabies must be treated with fierce medicine, rather than living for three or two more months, but it is better to be ignorant and unconscious, and leave this world comfortably, which makes me feel more decent." ”

True Qi enveloped the lesion, which also isolated the severe pain of the patient's recurrence, Gaozong was tormented by headaches for decades, and the past year was the most comfortable period for him.

Once the pain struck again, that is, when he died, knowing this, Li Dan still couldn't help but burst into tears.

Gaozong waved his hand to stop Xiao'er's grief, "I have been killed by the sky, and I have been out for an extra year and eight months." There must be a limit to everything, longevity, wisdom and foolishness, each has its own determination, it is not the will, the number of calendars is returned, and it cannot be exceeded! ”

He casually pointed his finger at Li Zhi, "The dim and bright are used, or not, the government affairs are like this, and the same is true of life!" I am only an old man, and when I meet Mr. Li when my blood is weak, I will have today's current affairs arrangement, can my son understand this principle? ”

The latter sentence refers to a series of arrangements he made for the royal family surnamed Li, which is aimed at Li Dan's biological mother, which is actually of far-reaching significance.

Li Dan has a pure personality and knows the truth, as far as the previous suppression of the Wu clan is concerned, I don't know how many people surnamed Li have been potentially protected.

What Gao Zong pointed out in his mouth was that all this came from Li Zhi's rescue, otherwise according to his previous state, how could he be so sober? Or maybe he died nearly a year ago.

Li Xian is a veritable mediocre lord, his essence is mediocre and soft, he is always controlled by a fierce mother, and he has no ability to self-exert himself.

Li Dan is famous for his humility, although he can be called a wise and wise, benevolent and wise person, but he is frank and rebellious, taking pleasure in himself, and his character makes his inner decision hesitate, even if he is in a critical moment, he can also stand up.

The former is mediocre, the latter is too generous and respectful, for the future mediocre lord is Gaozong to investigate at a glance, so he did not hesitate to make the fierce woman Wu Zetian change the government for a period of time, to resolve the crisis of the Tang Dynasty that is declining day by day.

But in the end, it is the royal inheritor, Gao Zongzi can't say it more bluntly, in the face of Li Dan at this time, only by deliberately highlighting the role of Li Zhi can he alert the two heirs on the side.

Maybe they don't know much at this moment, and when they encounter a critical moment in the future, they can first think of Li before to help, which is Gaozong's greatest purpose.

But Li Dan is only the prince at present, and there is a genuine prince in front of him, but some hidden arrangements cannot bypass the prince, and he directly teaches Li Dan face-to-face.

Even so, Li Dan, who is smart by nature, can still sympathize with his father's painstaking teachings, and then look at Li Zhi, he has already deepened his exchanges with him in his heart, and he is not good at understanding political affairs, but he does not dare to disobey his father's persuasion knowing that the deadline is coming.

Seeing that Li Dan was thoughtful, Gaozong looked at Li Zhi: "In fact, the current situation is clear, and we will see how it will develop in the future, what is Mr. Li's opinion?" ”

Li Zhi replied respectfully: "How dare your subordinates talk about national politics in vain, they are only focused on business, and they are cultivators, so they dare not get involved in political affairs!" ”

Gaozong said with a smile: "As long as you talk about some points of view, business development also needs to be clear about the general trend, like Zhengqing Wenqitang is so hugely invested, how can you go blindly without surveying the way forward?" The worries in the hearts of your merchants are also the possible occurrence of the evils of the imperial court, but you say that it is okay, and I forgive you for not being guilty at all! ”

Li Zhi replied: "If the law is not the same, the treachery and hypocrisy will arise, and if the government is not the same, the friends will be born, and the upper will be the source of it, and the lower will rest in the competition, this is the consensus among businessmen, and it is definitely not the words of the next minister." Therefore, I think that cultivating the evil of all kinds of relatives and causing the traitor party to join and conspire against it is the most important disaster to avoid in the future. ”

His words are all based on history, such as the reign of Zhongzong, allowing Wei Shuren and Princess Anle to do things, resulting in the loss of loyalty and goodness, the use of slander and evil, the abuse of punishment and rewards, and the bribery of public affairs, so that the ugliness of the palace is prevalent, and the wind of the Manchu Dynasty is compared with the civil and military fans.

Ruizong was the king of the prime minister, witnessed it, often sighed, and was indignant, until he took the throne and held all the opportunities, he also did some things to brush up the flaws and wash the dirt, and the salty and clean were clean, and the arrest was orderly, and he never repeated.

But then the princess of Taiping, wanton chaos in the government, so that the sea disappointed, if not to cultivate a future holy lord Li Longji, I am afraid that the future will not be guaranteed, repeat the mistakes of his brother.

Although Li Zhi's words did not point out specific examples, they can be regarded as derived from the biggest drawbacks of the woman's leadership, which is not wise and wise, but goes straight to the core.

Hearing Gaozong's frequent chin of yes, he looked at Li Dan and said, "Can I engrave what I told you in my heart?" ”

Li Dan hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Respectfully ask Aya to teach!" ”

"In the future, if there is a rebellion among the ministers of the court, once the signs are prominent, it is necessary to inform Mr. Li in advance, and secretly discuss and negotiate countermeasures, whether you are on the throne or not! I don't warn about other things, but this is the only point, don't forget it! I won't reveal it to the prince, only you two know it in private! ”

"The child must remember Aya's teachings, and strengthen the smooth flow of letters and newspapers with Mr. Li, the matter is secret, only the two of us know, even no one will see a thing or two!"

There will inevitably be similar explanations between Gaozong and Li Xian, and there may be some differences in specifics, but the core purpose is to highlight the significance of Li Zhi's existence.

But in Li Zhi's view, this move does not mean to tie himself to these two big ships that are shaking in the wind and rain.

However, Li Zhi did not have many objections, only by establishing a secret communication channel with the two emperors could he further take advantage of the opportunity, and then the puppet emperor, or the puppet emperor, or the private nonsense for the palace to be in charge, the nominal imperial power still has a huge deterrent effect.

Of course, he will not directly interfere in the government because of this, and a moderate reminder of the two people in a state of blindness will often have unexpected and distinct effects.

Gaozong saw this point and deliberately reminded the two of them, which was also one of the responsibilities he gave to Li Zhishang Fangjian, and the two successive emperors did not dare to easily rebel against the legacy of the first emperor.

After talking about the matter, Gaozong seemed to be in a much better mood all of a sudden, so he ordered Li Dan to take Li Zhi's "Book of Tea", turn over the pages that had been marked, and have an in-depth discussion with Li Zhi.

Li Dan did not quit because of this, he himself is a filial son, knowing that his father's life is short, as long as Gaozong did not issue him an eviction order, he is more willing to cooperate with the two of them to fiddle with a few kinds of tea in their mouths, for him, to see his father at this time cheerful and smiling, is the most gratifying thing.

And then the conversation and laughter between the two became more and more magical, which made Li Dan realize Li Zhi's magic, and unconsciously, the idea of strengthening private communication with him became stronger and stronger.

As soon as noon arrived, the imperial meal that had already been ordered to go down also came in time, but Princess Taiping came uninvited at this time.

In normal times, if she, the daughter-in-law, wants to meet her father, she also needs to report it in advance, but if she rushes to the scene with the specific inside information, of course she is sure to enter it.

Moreover, at this time, it is no longer the needle-to-wheat situation between the emperor and the queen mother, the two have already compromised with each other, and the children who are embarrassed in the middle are freer.

Seeing Princess Taiping coming, Gaozong glanced at Li Yi meaningfully, he knew a little bit about it, there was a cat between his daughter and Li Zhi.

Although strictly speaking, this kind of behavior is insulting to the royal family and the dignity that cannot be desecrated, but Li Zhi's special identity, the unhappiness of the Taiping marriage, and the habitual affairs of men and women in the palace, Gaozong knew that his limit was approaching, so he turned a blind eye.

Compared with the two brothers, Princess Taiping is very good at coming to things, and the first thing she did after coming was to come behind Gaozong, give him a touch on the shoulder, and after only enjoying it for a moment, she was driven away by Gaozong with a smile.

Seeing Gaozong pointing to the position beside Li Zhi, there was a red tide on Taiping's face, Li Dan's eyes widened in surprise, and he gasped in his heart.

He still didn't know about the strangeness between the two at this time, and what surprised him even more was that his father didn't stop it, but had a faint attitude of letting it develop, which made Li Dan a little unacceptable.

Of course, he did not despise or anger this matter, but suddenly had a new understanding of Li Zhi, Gaozong's wisdom has always been admired by him, and even his father will definitely not let such a ruined incident happen for no reason.

Not only Li Dan, but Princess Taiping was also nervous, she didn't know her father's true intentions, it was an unintentional move, but a special point, which made her panic and regret a little more, she shouldn't have appeared at this time.

There was a short period of strange silence at the dinner table, but Li Zhi was secretly smiling in his heart, Gaozong was quite angry with himself in this move, that is, the emperor already had some recognition in his heart, and he also wanted to show his blame.

Li Dan was gossiping after being extremely surprised at the moment, since his father acquiesced to the deviant relationship between the two, he must have thought that this move was beneficial and harmless to the surname Li, so he was naturally much more indifferent in his heart.

The most difficult thing is that it is too peaceful, she is sitting on pins and needles at this time, her mind is uncertain, and she is uncomfortable all over her body, not only worried that the emperor will be angry because of this, but also afraid that the unruly Li Zhi will do something disregarding.

Only Li Zhi handled it calmly, and even after sensing the peace around him that his hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly due to panic, he actually intimately helped him carry two chopsticks dishes.

His unexpected move directly caused Taiping to tremble twice, and Li Dan also showed signs of trembling, but he was choked with laughter.

When both of them were stimulated by Li Zhi's bold move, Li Zhi didn't worry much, because he could sense Gaozong's psychological changes, since he decided to expose this matter in front of Li Dan, Li Zhi simply followed his mind and blatantly showed it.

Sure enough, Gaozong couldn't help coughing lightly and said, "You two must know how to avoid it in the future, I can live for a few days, and no one will be able to protect you after that!" ”

Li Dan couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of food, so frightened that he hurriedly got up and cleaned up, and was rude in front of the holy driver, even if it was his own son, it was not a light sin.

Who would have thought that Gaozong was not angry, waved his hand to drive out the eunuch who served the meal, but smiled and said: "My son will also help cover up in the future, your sister's marriage is not going well, and your mother has complained many times, you, as a royal brother, are also somewhat considerate of her, Yue'er has a bad life and needs a comfort!" ”
