When Li Zhi heard this, he also listened to her words, so he obediently pulled the circle chair and stepped back, and when he saw that De'an really found some more coals to come out, he brought them together and put them down, and then retreated to the side to stand.

Mei Niang took two pieces of coal, and the fire boy hooked the lid of the fire cage and lifted it, threw it in, hooked it again, and closed it.

Li Zhi looked at her so leisurely and casually stupidly, and the pain in his heart seemed to be gradually warmed by the fire.

After a while, Ryan took Liu'er with him and trotted all the way. There was snow on his head and body, and one held two pieces of red and one gold in his arms, both of which were two large pieces of rice with raw edges, and one carried two food boxes in his hand.

Seeing this, Mei Niang was surprised and asked Liu'er, who was carrying the food box: "You should put it down first, go to the snow, don't get cold after melting...... What's going on? ”

Liu'er put down the food box, followed Ruian all the way to the front of the palace first, and De'an helped sweep the snow flakes on his body, but said in his mouth: "Sister Xu let me bring it, saying that His Royal Highness and Sister Wu don't need to rush over, the lord is finally quiet, and Uncle Guo is also here at this moment, if His Royal Highness goes down, I'm afraid it will be sad again." That's why he specially ordered Liu'er to go back to the dormitory, first found some shelled fruits, and roasted and ate them here with His Royal Highness and Sister Wu, and spent the time leisurely. I'll come back later. ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he was silently grateful to Xu Hui in his heart, so he nodded and reached out to lift the lid.

But it's some good southern apricots (that is, sweet almonds), walnuts and the like, and some small biro, parfait, boiled meat and the like.

Li Zhi was stunned.

When Mei Niang saw him like this, she knew that he was from a heavenly family, and she didn't know how to eat these things when they were put in one place. So he took a walnut and roasted it on the fire.

And then he said:

"It's called a chill. In the homes of the common people, the winter is long, and there is no need to work when it is bitter and cold, and they are naturally idle, and they have never known any piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to entertain them, so they took some things that can be roasted, put them on the fire cage, and the family gathered around the simmer before taking them to eat......

It's also quite a bit of a reunion. ”

When he said that, he could smell the walnut roasting, and finally it was so loud that it made a crisp sound, which shocked Li Zhi almost jumped.

Seeing him like this, Mei Niang couldn't help but want to laugh.

But looking at his frightened, frightened and pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear to laugh out loud for a while, which made him more embarrassed.

So he only reached out and took the fire boy and scooped the walnuts down, and when he knocked them lightly, he broke into a few pieces, revealing the charred meat inside.

Mei Niang gently took a small jade mallet from the food box, and when she knocked it slowly, the baked and fluffy skin fell off.

She stretched out her hand again, took out only the flesh from it, put it in a marigold, poured honey on it, and handed it to Li Zhi:

"This is a good thing that we can't eat in the palace!

Speaking of which, when I was at home outside the palace, I also ate a lot. ”

Li Zhi looked at her, then reached out to take it, and De'an hurriedly offered the jade (jade chopsticks), Li Zhi took it, and looked at the walnut flesh that overflowed with sweetness after the honey was poured, and he picked up a piece.

But under the clip, the honey pulled out countless wisps, and the firelight reflected as straight as ten thousand golden threads, which was really beautiful.

When you bite into your mouth, it is sweet and strong, as if you have a fire burning in your mouth.

The more Li Zhi chewed, the more luscious he felt - he liked to eat these sweet and fragrant things since he was a child, but although the palace chef was good at sweet food, he was too refined, and he lost such a good taste.

Therefore, for a while, he didn't stop talking, but after a while, he ate up the walnut.

Mei Niang saw that he was eating happily, and her heart was also relieved, so she smiled slightly, took two walnuts to barbecue, and then concocted them according to the law, handed them to him, and said:

"The most rare thing is that Brother Sun said that this walnut is the most nourishing thing for the head (brain) of the five yangs, and it is the most beneficial for people with wind diseases."

Li Zhiben's heart was relieved, and when he heard this, he remembered Chengqian again, and when he felt bitter in his heart, he felt tears.

When Mei Niang saw him like this, she didn't persuade him, but said:

"If you still want to cry, I can't persuade you anything...... It's just a child, you can figure it out.

After crying, it's enough, what you have to do is to think of a way, to ask Your Majesty to take care of your half-brother who is now the only one still alive in the world.

You have already lost a brother, will you lose another? ”

Li Zhi looked at her, and the tears in his eyes were reflected by the firelight:

“…… You...... Have you ever had a time like this? ”

Mei Niang shook her hand, and then lowered her head casually, but picked up two Bi Luo Jiao'er and threw them outside the fire cage to roast, and then put two slices of southern apricots before saying:

"That's it......

When my father died, I was also saddened...... I'm even afraid that I'm even sadder than you are now.

After all, you still have a brother and a father with you......

My father is the only one in my family who really loves me......

When I heard that he had passed away, I thought that I had nothing to rely on and no more nostalgia in this life......

Even ......"

Mei Niang slightly evoked a faint smile:

"I even wondered if I would go with my father?"

Li Zhi was cold:

"You ......"

"But I didn't."

Mei Niang raised her eyes, and the firelight jumped under her eyes:

"Because later, I figured it out. My father loves me and must want me to be better off than anyone else...... That's why he took so much painstaking effort to raise me as a son......

If I hadn't experienced anything like this, and hadn't done anything, I would have let him go......

I'm afraid, even under the Nine Springs, I have to see my father......

He's going to hate me, too?

You say, isn't it? ”

Li Zhi looked at Mei Niang, tears reflected the raging fire, and finally died.

After a long time, he nodded softly and tamely, stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, and choked up:

"Hmm."

……

It's night.

Fong Wah Court.

In the palace of Emperor Taizong.

Taizong, who finally woke up, looked a little dull. At this moment, he is not at all like the monarch who was powerful in the past, but more like an old man who has lost his soul.

Li Zhi slowly walked into the hall, looking at such a father, his heart could not bear the sadness. However, in the end, he still stopped his heartache, and slowly touched the note in his sleeve pocket-

This was sent in by the sister-in-law Su Shi with her close attendants a moment ago. It is also the last testament of the eldest brother.

"Father."

Li Zhi called softly.

Taizong was dazed for a while, then slowly turned his head and looked at Li Zhi's gaze for a long time, and then condensed:

"Childish slave...... You're here......"

Li Zhi nodded, his voice choked slightly, stepped forward again, knelt in front of Taizong's couch, and said softly:

"Father...... This......

This ......"

He slowly pulled out the song from his sleeve and handed it to Taizong.

Taizong just looked at the words "The common man Li Chengqian respects the Tang Dynasty and the emperor hears" on it, and he felt a pain in his heart, and he moved his hand and wanted to take it, but he didn't have the strength to lift it up after all, he just closed his eyes and recuperated for a long time before he said slowly:

"Listen to your father...... Father's ...... Now...... I don't have much energy......"

Li Zhi was in tears and nodded in response.

"The common people inherit the Qian, respect the Son of Heaven in the sea, the Lord of the Tang Dynasty:

The common people are immoral, crazy and stupid by nature, and believe in the words of the left and right. Unexpectedly, it is self-inflicted, with chestnut palpitations, and self-regret has no return. (I have no morals, I am arrogant and stupid by nature, and I am so deceived by the words of the left and right that I am really to blame for falling into such a field at one time, and now that I think about it, I still feel trembling all over, my heart palpitating, and the regret in my heart is nothing more.) ）

It is said that when the immediate response should be punished, the soul will go to the body, and it will return to the Yellow Spring. (I even once thought that at that time, I should submit to fate, draw the knife and be punished, and the soul should leave the body and return to Huangquan.) ）

I don't mean that the Son of Heaven is benevolent, he bends the law, he doesn't listen to the division, and he takes out a loan and forgiveness. (Who would have thought that the Son of Heaven would be so holy and merciful that he would ignore the law and forcefully disobey the words of the judicial ministers, and forgive the lives of the common people.) ）

trembling for months, he didn't dare to be at ease. The recitation is to bear the Lord, because the common people have defiled the holy name; Thinking about it is ashamed of his son's virtue, and he has brought shame on his children and grandchildren. Since returning to Guizhou, he feels ashamed every day, and thinks of virtue at night, and regrets in his heart. (So, all this time, I was terrified, and I felt that I was really alive in the world, and that there was never a day when I dared to think that I was safe.) And whenever I think about it, I always feel sorry for the Lord, so that the Lord has tarnished the reputation of the Holy Lord because of me; I am sorry for my children and grandchildren, and they will surely be disgraced by me in the future. Since I returned to Qianzhou, I have been thinking about the past during the day and feeling ashamed; At night, when I think of the kindness of the Lord, my heart is full of pain and regret. ）

However, the destiny of heaven is followed, and although the Lord has mercy, the common people will finally be liberated. (But fortunately, Destiny still has some mercy on me after all, knowing that I am in such pain, although it is only the Lord who has mercy on me, but the common people can finally be freed from this pain and regret.) ）

Only if the Lord is benevolent, he will be hurt by the common people. Therefore, I specially invited the secret table, and the beggar lord thought of the common people. In this life, I have been taught by the Lord, and I have been favored by the mother of the country, how fortunate it is! (I was relieved, and I was glad to be there, but I was afraid that someone like the Lord would be merciful and loving, and I would be bitter because of my departure.) Therefore, I especially went up to this secret table, knelt down and begged the Lord not to think too much about the common people. After all, in my life, I have received the Lord's personal teachings, and I have the personal love and care of the queen's mother, how lucky! ）

The time limit for the common people has come, and they know that they will never see their faces again, although they are greedy, they want to come back again. However, I finally knew that this was the destiny of heaven, and my heart was at peace. (And I have reached the end of the day, knowing that I will never see the face of the Lord again, although I am still reluctant to see the Lord again, but I still know after all that this is the destiny of heaven, so my heart has been calm.) ）

Although the common people are like this, they can't bear to be like this for all their brothers after all. Therefore, as a sinner, I asked the Lord for permission to restore the position of the younger brother Qingque, so as to consult the Lord and quench his thirst a little. (However, I have reached this point, and I am already very miserable, and I really can't bear to see my brothers like this.) Therefore, with such a sinful body, I boldly ask the Lord for permission to restore the position of my little brother, the green sparrow, so that he may be a little closer to the Lord and relieve his thoughts and longing for the Lord a little. ）

There is no other reason, but because he is in the same situation, he knows his heart and mind, and he only wins the Lord's peace. (I say this for no other reason, except that because I am in the same situation as him, I know that all he has in mind is to see you safe and healthy, Lord.) ）

Moreover, there is another young brother and childish slave, benevolent and gentle, the mother of the most Xiao common people, the common people love it, just like the love of the Lord, but the Lord and the common people are fixed, and their nature is benevolent and cowardly, and they often do not know how to fight for themselves. But please be more attentive to the Lord. (Also, I have a little brother who is kind and kind, kind and weak, most like my mother, and I love him and care for him, just as you love him and care for him, Lord.) But the Lord, like me, always knew that he was too kind, even cowardly. I often don't know what to fight for myself. Therefore, please be sure to pay more attention to him, care is the first thing. ）

There are also several sisters, all of whom are loved by the Lord, and the common people know that the Lord will plan for them for a long time and be at peace. (There are also a few younger sisters, but because they are all the Lord's favorite children, I know that the Lord will definitely think longer and farther for them, so they can naturally spend the rest of their lives safely and no longer worry.) ）”
