942 The Emperor Is Old (I)
Suning can't remember the last time he had such a leisurely walk and chat with Li Erma, probably when he was still very young, it should have been more than ten years ago, that time, after solving the palace power of Li Jiancheng's underground resistance group, Li Ermaxi invited himself to a meal, which is something that many courtiers dream of, but the feeling that time gave Suning was terrifying.
Now, more than ten years have passed, Li Er Majesty has changed from a heroic young emperor to a calm middle-aged emperor, Suning has also changed from a teenager to an adult, and the twenty-eight-year-old Suning can already be regarded as a courtier with old qualifications in the court, although he is only twenty-eight years old, he has fourteen years of official experience, and no one dares to underestimate this twenty-eight-year-old veteran official, as well as the power in his hands.
To this day, Suning can't guess what Li Ermaxi is thinking in his heart, maybe he is thinking about something very important, Suning probably has some vague ideas, more than ten years ago Suning could be very bold to speculate, but now Suning does not dare to speculate, the emperor is the emperor after all, he doesn't want to do it, now, no one can force him.
"The last time I walked and talked with you alone, I can't remember exactly when it happened, do you remember?" Li Er's majesty said slowly.
Suning said: "I can't remember clearly, probably, it was more than ten years ago, right?" β
Li Erqi sighed and looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle: "Fourteen years, fourteen years, you kid, from fourteen years old to twenty-eight years old now." It's really unthinkable, so fast, so fast that fourteen years have passed. Sometimes, I feel as if I only saw you yesterday, but I suddenly realized that it has been 14 years, and you are a fourteen-year-old little guy at the Great Pilgrimage. How do you think it's interesting, hehehe! β
Suning smiled: "I was young and frivolous. has done a lot of incredible things, and now when I look at the eldest son of the minister, I always feel that I was quite naΓ―ve and ridiculous. β
Li Er smiled and said, "You are still a little conscious." In the end, he is also a father, when he sees his son, he always remembers some ridiculous things he did at the beginning, and when he sees his son doing the same thing, he realizes what his father was in at the beginning, and then unconsciously does the same thing again, looking at his son with the same expression as he was at the beginning, I feel that it is so wonderful. β
Suning felt the same way: "The minister's son is also quite stubborn, and the minister always feels a headache." But whether it is the teacher or the relatives and friends around him, they all say that the kid and the minister are printed in the same mold, where is the minister so hateful when he was young. The minister is obviously the most peaceful. β
Li Erqi laughed: "Are you safe?" Are you still at peace? I won't talk about you and your master, after you join the office, can you be separated? If you had been settled, would Datang be where it is today? Let's be honest with yourself, your son is just like you, he likes to toss. I heard he had a good time with the elephants? β
Suning was noncommittal: "Let the children's affairs be handled by themselves." Where do you have the kung fu to care about them! β
Li Erma smiled, looked at Suning meaningfully, and then said: "Yes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, I am old, I can't care so much!" β
Suning heard something else, and hurriedly said, "How can Your Majesty be old?" The spring and autumn period is in full bloom, and it is the time to show off the grand plan, why do you say that you are old? β
Li Erqi waved his hand and said: "Don't be a sycophant, when you were admonishing Keming a few days ago, weren't you quite deadly?" Would you rather break the palace ban and risk killing your head than come to admonish? I still remember your temper that can be compared to Wei Qing...... Wei Qing's body bones are not very good, you are the second Wei Qing I have high hopes for, leave it to Wei Qing of Cheng Qian......"
Suning is more and more sure that Li Erma is in an extreme contradiction, on the one hand, he wants to pave the way for Li Chengqian, but on the other hand, he is reluctant to let go of his own power, so he is in the middle of an extreme contradiction, and he wants to make Li Chengqian good, but he doesn't want to give up this qiΔ, this kind of contradiction, it is difficult for him to choose, and others are really uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, Doctor Wei is in good spirits, he said that he will continue to admonish for ten years before retiring, why should you worry?" Suning replied ambiguously.
Li Ermajesty blinked, and said: "Suning, these days, whenever I don't have energy, I'm thinking, if one day, I'm gone, I close my eyes, can Cheng Qian take on such a responsibility as the Tang Emperor?" If not, who should I choose to be my heir? Suning, you have always been smart, you come to give me a staff officer. β
Suning was a little depressed, this old guy didn't say anything else, he actually got straight to the point, and now Suning couldn't avoid it if he wanted to: "Your Majesty, haven't you kept letting the prince handle official business all these years?" Is what the prince has said to your satisfaction? β
Li Erqi frowned, and then nodded: "If you say that you are not satisfied, it is false, and you are indeed quite satisfied, but I am a little worried, he can be so diligent when I am still here, if I am gone, will he still be like this?" In the final analysis, it's just for the throne, and now only Cheng Qian is the most suitable person to be my heir......"
Suning's heart tightened, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister and the prince have a very good relationship, and they naturally understand the prince's character, if Your Majesty says that the prince has no sense of responsibility for the Tang Dynasty, the minister will never agree." β
Li Ermajesty said "oh" and said: "You protect the prince so much, it is inevitable that others will not think that you want to get the merit of the dragon and say this, after all, the relationship between you and the prince is like that, it is not a secret, everyone knows that you have never hidden it, so others dare not say anything even if they have the heart, but you say this in front of me, then I don't agree, as the saying goes, the son is more than the father, do you know my son better than me?" β
Suning immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister just said what he thought was right, frank and open, what is wrong?" The minister thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in the time when His Majesty XiΓ delivered the task. They are all very diligent, and they do things with great thought, as shown by various circumstances. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has indeed done a good job, doesn't His Majesty think so too? β
Li Erma XiΓ turned his head, didn't speak, and walked straight forward, Suning didn't say anything, just followed Li Ermaxi closely, not for a while. Li Erma's majesty spoke: "Throughout the ages, every time the throne is alternated. There are very few examples of peaceful inheritance, either open and secret fighting, or blood flowing everywhere, and I want this qiΔ to end in my hands. Just like the achievements that Datang has made before that no one has created, Suning, what is your opinion? β
Suning was stunned, but he didn't expect Li Erma to really ask like this, Suning didn't believe that Li Erma didn't have his own considerations, on the contrary, Li Erma must have his own ideas, and even had secretly prepared for this, but he still needed some time. needs some psychological preparation, Suning feels that he is likely to be the person he found to prepare himself psychologically, and this task and identity are very fatal.
One is not good. That's a catastrophe, although what he said sounded good, but Suning was not really ready to talk to him, if he really said it, it would be over, this old guy is at a critical moment in the war between heaven and man. If he stands on Li Chengqian's side, it will be bad if he doesn't do it well. So Suning was very cautious, and just said very perfunctorily: "This is something that His Majesty should consider, where does the minister understand these things?" β
Li Ermaxi didn't plan to let go of Suning like this: "You can write "Zizhi Tongjian", why can't you tell me what you think?" Didn't you also doubt the authenticity of Yao Shunyu Chanrang? Then you sue me, what do you think? β
Is this all said to be on the job?
Suning resolutely can't say what he thinks, Suning knows that this is a test of life and death: "No matter what kind of decision His Majesty makes, the minister will resolutely support it, without the slightest complaint!" β
Li Er was stunned for a moment, and then asked noncommittally, "Do you really think so?" Even if I pass the throne to someone else? And not Li Chengqian? β
Suning said very seriously: "The inheritance of the throne is a major national event, and it is definitely not something that the minister should discuss, the minister believes that His Majesty will not take the Tang Dynasty and the current good situation as a child's play because of a momentary preference, and the minister believes that His Majesty will have his own considerations and will make the right decision, so no matter what decision His Majesty makes, the minister will resolutely support His Majesty's decision." β
Suning completely believed that this was Li Erma's final test for himself.
After a while, when Suning felt uneasy, Li Ermajesty slowly popped out a sentence: "The Emperor Taishang's body is not good, and his spirit has not been very good recently, he has said many times that he wants to see you, you go to see the Emperor, go and talk to him, go, go......"
After speaking, Li Erma left by himself, leaving Suning alone in the imperial garden, Suning heard that His Excellency Li Yuan's health was not very good, and he had a hunch, this time and space, because of the great development of the medical level of the Tang Dynasty, so His Excellency Li Yuan lived nine years longer than another time and space, but people always have to leave this world, no matter how long they live, there will be this day, Li Yuanchang's rebellion greatly damaged the physical and mental health of His Excellency Li Yuan, Suning estimated that Li Er's Majesty XiΓ would say this kind of thing, It should be a hint.
Suning rushed to the bedroom of His Excellency Li Yuan, the guards saw that it was Suning, did not stop it, and let him go, Suning went straight to the palace where His Excellency Li Yuan slept, and saw a few doctors in a hurry along the way, standing at the door and loyally guarding the old eunuch of His Excellency Li Yuan, his face was sad, and when he heard the footsteps, he saw that it was Suning, so he made a salute, and then said to Suning: "Master Hou, you can be regarded as coming, the Emperor Taishang has been waiting for you for a long time, if you don't come again, it is estimated that the Emperor Taishang will ......"
Suning asked: "What's wrong with the Emperor, wasn't it still good some time ago?" β
Suning did play mahjong with His Excellency Li Yuan a year ago, but that's all, after that, His Excellency Li Yuan never summoned Suning again, and the old eunuch said sadly: "After the Hou Ye left a year ago, the Emperor Taishang was sick, and he has been intermittent, and his spirit is not good, and the Emperor Taishang has not let the old slave tell the Hou Ye, and the doctors have kept coming, and Mr. Sun has also come many times, but the Emperor Taishang is not good, and it is ...... The Emperor ......"
The old eunuch couldn't go on, so Suning had to ask, "Is it convenient for Ben Hou to go in and visit now?" β
The old eunuch nodded: "The Emperor Taishang didn't want to see anyone else for three days, he only said that he wanted to see Hou Ye Su, and even the doctors were not allowed to enter, Hou Ye Su, go and persuade the Emperor Tai Shang to go and persuade him!" The old eunuch opened the door as he spoke, Suning stepped in, the door closed in response, Suning only felt that the room was very dull, and felt uncomfortable, and was about to speak, but heard an old and haggard voice: "Su boy, is it you?" The rebel finally let you come? β
Suning was stunned for a moment, and then said silently: "The Emperor, the minister is here." (To be continued)
