Chapter 691: Li Er's Mind
After such an incident, Li Chengqian and his entourage no longer had the heart to wander around, and after a little cleaning up, they set foot on the way back to the palace.
In the carriage, Li Chengqian's mood was not very high, pondering what happened during this time, and suddenly there was a particularly bitter feeling. No wonder people say that the prince is a high-risk profession, and it is really not easy to mix up the princely career for so many years.
Not to mention far away, just talk about the recent batch of Tubo people, the old man felt uncomfortable, so he recruited him back, and then he, the best gun in the old man's hand, had to stand up, for the sake of the old man's face, give up his reputation and Tubo fanzi.
Lao Li couldn't order the Tubo people to be killed, because he was the emperor and had to be measured.
And he, Li Chengqian, is the crown prince, and he can do things in the name of a gentleman, in other words, he is a man who carries a curse, and all the things that the old man wants to do and can't do need him to come forward, as for the ......consequences, the old man will help him carry it in the name of pampering the prince.
But this is in Chang'an City, not in Dengzhou, Shandong, where the Son of Heaven killed two hundred and twenty-three people in one night, and although there have been no undesirable consequences yet, it is clear that a storm is brewing under the unquiet surface, and it may break out at any time.
Li Chengqian is not stupid, he knows what the consequences of his actions will be, but there is no way, he wants to choose the lesser of two evils, on the one hand, to satisfy the courtiers, and on the other hand, to satisfy the old man, he knows very well how to choose.
However, as soon as today's incident came out, many things were about to change, and Li Chengqian expressed his desire to intervene in current affairs with his actual actions, and he was no longer the kind of braggathing about defeat and defeat in the past.
In the eyes of those who have a heart, this kind of behavior is equivalent to a performance of wanting to stand in the foreground, and if the old man thinks more, it is likely that Li Chengqian will have the impression that he wants to seize power.
"Brother, what are you thinking about being so distracted?" I don't know how long it took, Changle's voice disrupted Li Chengqian's thoughts.
"Where's Linlin?" Li Chengqian came back to his senses and found that there was one person missing from the car, so he couldn't help but ask strangely.
"You want things to be so engrossed, you don't even know when Xiaosi gets off the bus." Changle threw a reproachful look at Li Chengqian: "The car has already entered the imperial city, and it will enter the palace immediately, I really don't know what you are thinking, you are so distracted." ”
Li Chengqian smiled reluctantly, lifted the curtain of the window to look outside, and then said: "It's nothing, you can go back to the palace quickly in a while, I have something to say about my father's place." ”
"Brother, do you want me to go with you, my father spoils me very much." Changle noticed that Li Chengqian's emotions were wrong, and couldn't help but start worrying.
"Don't go, it's worse." Li Chengqian was betting on luck, he just guessed that the old man would have special thoughts about his behavior, but he was not sure.
But if Changle followed, then he would immediately confirm his idea of wanting to stand in the foreground, even if he didn't have such thoughts, it didn't matter, because that in itself was a manifestation of weakness.
"Are you really alright?" Changle was still a little worried.
"It's okay, just now I was thinking about how to tell my father, I just thought about it, not what you think." Li Chengqian comforted Changle, he was also afraid that Changle would do bad things with good intentions, so he tried his best to appease her.
As for Yu Zhang, who is on the side, there is no problem of comfort at all, the little girl's mother died early, and she rarely speaks in the palace, except for Changle, who hardly has contact with anyone, Li Chengqian even sometimes wonders if she will suffer from depression.
The time was not big, the car entered the inner palace, Li Chengqian and others got out of the car together, Changle and Yuzhang went back to their residences, and someone was majestic and high-spirited and walked towards the old man's manna hall, whether he was dead or alive only depends on this dynasty.
Without saying anything all the way, Li Chengqian arrived at the Ganlu Palace, first asked the guards to go in to report, and after waiting for a while, he saw the old eunuch Fang coming out of it to pick him up, so he walked over with a smile: "Old Fang, how is the mood of the father?" Is there a ......" raised his eyebrows, and Li Chengqian made an angry expression.
"Your Majesty is sipping tea." Old Eunuch Fang was vague, but the meaning was very clear, because Lao Li never tasted tea when he was in a bad mood.
Li Chengqian nodded understandingly, and put his heart back into his stomach slightly.
"Coming? Have a seat. Entering the courtyard of Lao Li's study, without waiting for Li Chengqian to come forward to salute, Li Er pointed to a futon in front of him and motioned for him to go over and sit down.
There is a small bamboo forest in Lao Li's yard, which is not big but looks very elegant, and when he has nothing to do, he sits in it to make a pot of kung fu tea, and slowly tasting it is one of Li Er's recent hobbies.
"Father is in good spirits today." Li Chengqian sat opposite the old man with a smile, took a teacup from the palace maid on the side, put it under his nose and sniffed gently: "Good tea!" ”
"How do you know what good tea is and what bad things are for you, a cow drinker." Li Er watched his son drain the golden tea soup in the tea cup, and couldn't help but look at him with disdain.
"Thirsty, thirsty." Li Chengqian smiled and defended himself, and then said to Li Er with a straight expression: "Father, today the retainers will accompany Changle and a few of them out to ......."
After using the tea time, Li Chengqian briefly said what happened in the Hibiscus Garden, and then held the tea cup handed by the palace maid and didn't speak, waiting for Lao Li to either be angry or praise with a smile.
Come to the old man to confess that Li Chengqian just wants to fight for leniency, and he doesn't want to wait for others to tell Li Er that he will fall into passivity, and at the same time, he can be happier whether he is dead or alive, and he doesn't have to wait for suffering every day.
However, Li Chengqian finally underestimated the old man's generosity, and after listening to his statement, Li Er thought about it for a while and said: "You did a good job this time, and you didn't generalize because of the prejudice in your heart. You can't be blindly ruthless to other races, nor can you blindly be gentle, the trust you should have is still to give, you have done a good job of this, the people of the Tang Dynasty are ......, not bad! ”
"That ......, the father ...... the emperor "didn't get sprayed with a head of 'ambergris', which made Li Chengqian a little uncomfortable, and he was a little uncomfortable to speak."
"What, what do you think I'm going to do? Beat you up? Li Er put down the cup in his hand and said seriously: "If I treat people with sincerity, I will definitely be able to get the rewards I deserve, do you think so?" ”
"The father and the emperor have the world in mind, and the son admires it." The corners of Li Chengqian's mouth twitched, and he bowed his head.
No matter what the old man's heart is, at least the bearing he showed made Li Chengqian have to say the word 'obedience'.
I trust you and don't doubt you, as long as you don't get caught, let you display your talents, this is what Li Er said to Li Chengqian, as an emperor, there are few people who can have this heart.
