Li Ji is a little strange today. He has been in prison until now and is very confused. Li Su is very surprised. He understands the meaning of every sentence, but when it is connected, he is confused. He always feels that his mind is broken. Li Su wants to persuade him whether to come in and live with him for a few days, just treat it as a resort recuperation.

Li Ji ignored Li Su, who was already confused, and said directly: "Your Majesty is helpless in this matter. The Tubo delegation is making trouble. I guess they will not be good anymore. I heard from Your Majesty that you took the initiative to move into Dali Temple. I thought about it and felt that it was right. I should avoid his edge first and think about it in prison..."

After a pause, Li Ji said, "It doesn't matter if you really can't think of a solution. I plead with Your Majesty for you and be gentle. At worst, I won't be a marquis of this county. In the future, I will help you find opportunities to make a few more great contributions and get the title back. You are so young that you can take on a family with all your strength. You have suffered so much in the past few years. You don't have to make things too difficult for yourself in the future, but if you have any indecisive things, please come and ask me."

Li Suwei said that he was just right, and his expression became more and more confused.

Li Ji said to himself: "When Prince Li Chengqian rebelled, Tubo suddenly set up troops on the border, with a total of 50,000 troops eyeing our Tang Dynasty border town. The wolf's ambition was obvious and he would take advantage of the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty. I jointly signed Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, Niu Jinda and other generals to submit a memorial to Your Majesty, and transferred 30,000 troops from Jiannan Road to the border, facing the Tubo army. Whether the two countries have a marriage relationship or not, it might as well talk first, but the border cannot be carried out by Tubo's power. If the Tang Dynasty did not respond, it would have encouraged the thief's arrogance. Anyway, one end talks about marriage and the other end sharpens the sword, and neither end is delayed."

Li Su was stunned for a moment, then moved.

He spoke highly, but Li Su understood that Li Ji was supporting himself with practical actions and providing himself with confidence from a military perspective. The Tang army on the border formed a strong and restricted Tubo, thereby indirectly affecting the Tubo delegation in Chang'an City and reducing Li Su's pressure to solve the troubles of marriage.

Li Su looked at Li Ji with emotion and said naively: "Uncle Li Gao Yi, kid remember it in his heart... You took risks when you do this. kid really can't figure out why you..."

Li Ji waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about it. Let's talk about everything after you are released from prison. I'm here to see you now. I mainly want to talk about this. After the matter is finished, I'll leave. After I come out, I might as well come to my house first. In the past, I'll see you hang out with the bandits of all sizes of the Cheng family. In the future, I'll not be more favorable than the other."

After saying that, Li Ji turned around and left, leaving Li Su, who was confused, in a daze alone.

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

On the third day, Li Su was released from prison.

This time he asked for it himself, so he asked someone to hand in a memorial to Tai Chi Palace. Soon Li Shimin issued an order to release Li Su, and sent an eunuch to bring him a sentence, "You decide."

Li Su knew what Li Shimin meant, so he let him out to solve the problem of being friendly to rice seeds, and he had to do both worlds, otherwise it would be more than just jail.

In the jailers' eyes like the plague gods, Li Su walked out of the Dali Temple prison with a swagger, got into the carriage waiting outside the door, and hurried home.

I have been squatting in prison for more than ten days. I miss my family and the large bathhouse at home so I have to take a good time.

When he got home, he had just met his father and Xu Mingzhu. Before he could jump into the big bath, Li Su heard a very shocked news.

"Uncle? Whose uncle?" Li Su looked at Li Daozheng in shock.

"Your uncle!" Li Daozheng looked a little stunned.

Li Su looked at his father dumbly, then smiled and said, "When did a child have an uncle? Dad, don't make a fuss, go to the field to see the crops, and go to take a bath first..."

Li Daozheng said angrily: "In the winter, the crops in the fields have been cut long ago. Look at the crops! I said you have an uncle, why don't you believe it?"

"Of course I don't believe it. We father and son have been dependent on each other for the years. When did an uncle appear?" Li Su smiled, then her face changed. Looking at her father's face, she said carefully: "It's not that the child was jailed for the past few days. You quietly continued the strings of the room and found a stepmother for the child? There is an elder brother on this stepmother?"

Li Daozheng's breathing began to be rapid, and his murderous aura was brewing...

Li Su patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, my child is very open-minded. Dad, you are only in forty years, and you are the year of a dragon and tiger, so you should have married a family long time ago. No matter which woman the family is in love with, even a widow, I will definitely do the marriage for you. Everyone knows that the city will marry her in a grand and lively manner. In the future, the child will respect her as a mother..."

After a pause, Li Su said carefully: "I'll ask more, are you looking for a woman? Is the powerful people in Chang'an City still very good at men's style in recent years, and they are called "Feng Ya". Dad, you haven't gotten that problem? To be honest, if Dad, you are looking for a man, the child's emotions may be a bit complicated, maybe you can't accept it for the time being, give the child some time..."

Li Daozheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly became angry. He picked up a rattan beside the door, and then chased Li Su all over the yard. Li Su was beaten to run away with his head in his arms. The Li family's yard soon became lively. Xu Mingzhu stood aside with a look of panic, wanting to persuade him but dared not persuade him. Butler Xue ran out when he heard the sound and saw his master chasing the rattan beside the yard. Butler Xue was stunned, and then turned around quickly and went to see the scenery in another place.

Li Su didn't remember how many times he was beaten, but it didn't hurt much. She was just a man in his twenties and was beaten by his father. She was really embarrassed.

Li Dao was so happy after beating him. He held the rattan and gasped for a while, then glared at Li Su: "I wanted to beat you a long time ago. I used to see you as a county marquis, but I was afraid of losing your official power. Now that your Majesty has removed your official title, I don't have to be polite to you."

Li Su sighed and suddenly felt that she should be a little motivated, at least she should take the title back, just to consider it for her personal safety.

Of course, it may be easier if you quit the habit of being mean.

"Can you speak human language now?" Li Daozheng said to him.

Li Su nodded and sighed.

"Didn't you always wonder what your mother is from? Since the last time the prince rebelled and I killed many people in front of the cave, you have tried it lightly or secretly these days, and I want to know my identity back then, right?"

Li Su's eyes lit up: "Does these all have something to do with my new uncle who just emerged?"

Li Daozheng nodded, then straightened his waist and said, "I heard clearly that your mother is the real sister of the Duke of the current dynasty. I was also the personal guard of the general. I followed him to fight south and north, and he was bleeding on the battlefield. He saved hundreds of lives in his hands, and he made many contributions to him, all of whom... "

Li Su's expression gradually became solemn: "Dad, which general were you following back then?"

Li Daozheng was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Duke of England, Li Ji."

Li Su was shocked and said in a lost voice: "It's him!"

Li Daozheng sighed sadly: "Your mother... was born in a family of meritorious deeds. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos. She was wandering with her family. She finally waited for peace in the world. The general was awarded the title of official position. She should have enjoyed wealth and no worries for her life, but she fell in love with me, a personal guard with a low status, and left home without hesitation. She suffered from this poor countryside. In those years, she was short of food and clothing, was sick, but she had no regrets. She left after giving birth to you. I owe her too much in this life, and I am sorry for her..."

Li Su looked at his father dumbly, his mind blank.

Until now, he has not accepted the fact that he is Li Ji's nephew. Thinking of Li Ji's eyes and his unconscious words the day before yesterday, Li Su realized that Li Ji was not a silly one. The purpose of visiting him in prison that time was to recognize his relatives. Moreover, this time Li Su was imprisoned, the elders of Chang'an City were pleading for him, but Li Ji made the most efforts and even bet on his own safety. Li Su always felt strange. Logically, Li Ji was not such an unsilent person. Helping him is a love part, and not helping him is enough. It is enough to do his best to do his best. There is no reason to take all his safety on his own. From co-publishing memorials to requesting troops to the border, it is clearly far beyond the scope of helping others.

It turned out that he was Li Ji's nephew. All Li Ji did these days finally had a reasonable explanation. No matter how much he loved Li Su, the younger generation, Li Su was an outsider after all, and love and maintenance were limited. But if Li Su suddenly became a relative of his family, the treatment would be different, and the bottom line of help would be greatly improved.

Li Su pursed her lips and looked at her father and said, "Dad, after the child was imprisoned, there was a new uncle. It was her father who took the initiative to recognize him and beg him to save the child?"

Li Daozheng sighed: "I feel very pleased to see you promoted and made many contributions to the country over the years. At the same time, I feel deeply worried. My father has never been an official, but I know that the official is not so easy to be an official. The higher you climb, the more dangerous it is. Seeing that you are an official, there is no strong big man behind you to help you. I often feel worried. In fact, in the years you have been an official, you have been in prison several times, and have caused many troubles and offended many people. The crisis you encounter is more and more serious, and the people you provoke are bigger and bigger. Whenever you are in danger, you look around, but no one can really help you. Every time you are alone and grit your teeth through the danger. Dad feels distressed in his eyes."

"...Your father, I am not capable, and I am just an ordinary and mediocre farmer until I die. I can't help you. I've been hesitating for the initiative to come to recognize my relatives. In fact, I know that you understand the principle of "a tree can't make a forest". So since you showed your strength, the new things you have created are always sent to the Cheng family and the generals of the Niu family. They never delay during festivals. When you see people, you are so happy that you are laughing in front of others. My kid, I understand your hardships. It's too hard to support yourself alone. It's too tiring. You hope your father and mother can

To live a carefree and good life, you must first protect yourself. You know that you are the pillar of your family, and the pillars cannot fall. If you fall, your family will be over. So you are looking for a backer, making friends, and recognizing your elders. You are making a web like a spider and making a web that is enough to protect yourself and your family. Over the years, this web has seen its shape, but it is still too fragile and cannot withstand the wind and rain. Those families have accumulated thousands of years of foundation that has not fallen through the wind and waves. Our family does not. You are slowly accumulating the foundation, and everything you do is for this family..."

"Seeing you working so hard, I feel really distressed. I think about it and I always do something for you. The past between me and your mother was long gone and I shouldn't mention it again. However, if you mention the past again, you can find a backer for you so that you don't have to be so tired in the future. I guess your mother wouldn't blame me in the dark.... Before you had an accident this time, I hesitated for a long time and planned to tell you about your mother's affairs. Later, I heard that Your Majesty ordered you to exile you to Qiannan. I made up my mind and simply went to the city to find General Li..."

Li Su lowered her head and listened to Li Daozheng's words, but her eyes turned red involuntarily.

No matter how hard he does this, he feels that it is what he should do and must do. Father and son are destined to be together, husband and wife are destined to be together, and there is still a destined relationship with children in the future. Coming to this world is an incredible fate. He cherishes this fate very much, hopes to live up to this life, hopes to live up to the people around him, hopes to live up to this life, hopes to live up to the fate, and hopes to live up to this life.

The original intention of doing all this does not matter if it is not understood, nor does it require everyone to spread the word everywhere and say how great or hard he is. Li Su doesn't care at all.

He didn't expect that the people he cared about actually cared about.

A true father and son are in harmony. Whether they are suffering or not, whether they are happy or not, they don’t have to say a word, they see it all in their eyes and hurt them in their hearts.

He patted Li Su on the shoulder, and Li Daozheng sighed, "I heard from the general the day before yesterday that you are in trouble now. Even if you are released, the trouble will still be there, right? Hurry up and visit him at the general's mansion and listen to his statement. Maybe it can help you, my uncle, and beg for others without any shame."

Li Su shook her head, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Dad, I want to go to my mother's grave to take a look."

Li Daozheng was stunned and then smiled: "Okay, I'll go with you."

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

The father and son rode a horse and led more than a dozen other members of Fang Laowu and others to slowly leave Taiping Village and headed towards the unknown barren mountain to the west.

More than an hour later, everyone arrived at the bottom of the barren mountain. The ground was covered with weeds. Even in the cold winter, the weeds grew extremely dense. Not far from the wasteland, a dirt grave stood there alone. The weeds around the grave were wiped cleanly. Obviously, people often cleaned them. There were two shrinking stone horses on both sides of the grave, one on the left and one on the right. There were tombstones in front of the grave, but there were no words on the monument.

Fang Laowu and others knew that this was Li Su's tomb. After getting off the horse, they bent their knees from afar and bowed to the grave three times, then took the horse to wait in a tactful manner, while the Li family father and son walked towards the grave step by step.

The ground in front of the tomb was clean, and there was a jar of wine and some incense and candles for worship. Li Su didn't say a word and bowed three times to the grave. Li Dao was standing beside him, staring at the mound of soil on the grave, and said sadly: "Your mother... she is a very responsible person, with a woman's style. Maybe she is influenced by her brother, and she likes to drink some wine on weekdays, so I often bring a jar of wine to see her. After leaving home with me, we lived in seclusion in Taiping Village. Every time her brother's birthday, she always had to drink a jar of wine. However, she only drank half of the jar of wine, and the remaining half was sprinkled on the ground in the direction of Chang'an City, and then she fell asleep. When she woke up the next day, she seemed to have nothing to do and continued to live a poor life with me..."

Li Su also looked at the lonely grave and was speechless for a long time. After a while, he whispered: "Dad, how did you and my mother... get together?"

Li Daozheng smiled, showed a sweet look, and said slowly: "One is the personal guard around the general, and the other is the sister of the general. Naturally, I met early, but I was a low-level identity, but I was just an orphan adopted by the general, and the eldest lady was a wealthy lady. Even if I saw him, I just performed the ritual of master and servant. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had just established a country, and the world was not peaceful. The rebel princes in various places were still unwilling to be the main leader and Tang Dynasty. In those years, the general was busy quelling the rebellion. About the second year of Wude, the general was ordered to pacify Bingzhou. After the rebellion, Emperor Gaozu ordered the general to lead troops to Bingzhou to shock the Turks in the north. The general ordered me to bring a hundred personal guards to Bingzhou, and he stayed in Bingzhou under the order. I took the order to go

After taking the family on the road, I encountered a group of bandits on the road. The bandits may have been dispersed rebels. The formation was quite well organized and the combat power was very strong. The hundred and ten brothers and I fought hard to resist and barely tied. Later, several bandits rushed towards the carriage of the general's family. I was anxious at that time, for fear that the guards would not be effective and injured the general's family. So I rushed forward desperately, and got three swords on my back, killing all those people. At that time, your mother was sitting in the carriage. Seeing that I was so desperate, she was probably moved. Since then, she has approached me for any reason, and asked me about my well-being. She never looked down on my personal guard. Gradually, we made a private life."

Li Su stared at the grave and smiled faintly, "Uncle Li... That's my uncle. After knowing about your relationship with my mother, I'm afraid I won't agree, right?"

Li Daozheng sighed and said, "After the general knew about it, he was really unhappy, and even angry, but he couldn't blame him for this matter. Your mother had been engaged to someone else when she was very young. The man was said to be a wealthy family in Shandong. Your mother had a stubborn temper and never agreed to it. But how could she have the marriage? It was because her parents' matchmaker had the final say. The general treated me like a brother and never looked down on me. I followed him in those years and saved his life several times. The general remembered that he was angry that your mother and I were hiding it from him. He was angry that my mother and you had a long-standing marriage, which made the Li family lose their integrity. Your mother also had a strong quarrel with him. After the argument, she took me away from the Li family that night. He never went back again..."

Li Su turned her head and looked at her father deeply, sighing: "It turns out that our father and son actually have the same sympathy, and the experience of our youth is the same..."

Li Daozheng was stunned and then reacted.

Isn’t the matter between his son and Princess Dongyang a replica of him and Yingniang?

Li Daozheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed: "It turns out that they are both sick, but you did better than me, and the ending... is better than me."

Looking at the grave, Li Daozheng sighed sadly: "If I were as smart as you back then, maybe the ending between me and your mother would be different. At least, it would not make her lack of food and clothing and living in poverty over the years. She is a lady from a wealthy family. She eats and uses food and food. After following me, she still has to learn to cook and farm and do housework. Your mother was born beautifully. In the years after following me, I saw that your mother's face became worse and worse and her skin became rougher. She fell into the root of the disease in those years. After giving birth to you, she finally couldn't hold on and left."

Li Su also showed a gloomy look, quietly looking at the lonely grave in front of her, and murmured: "I... haven't seen her yet."

Li Daozheng's eyes turned red: "It would be great if she could live until now. Your mother is very beautiful. You look like her, so she is born white and handsome, with fine eyes and nose..."

Li Su's eyes also turned red, she pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and held back the tears that were about to fall.

"Baby, come and see her again. Don't look at your mother lying here, but I know that she is looking forward to you. I have taken care of your mother's grave for years and I will leave it to you in the future. I... get older and older. Maybe one day, I'll be so old that I can't come here."

Li Su grabbed his sleeve and said with a forced smile: "Dad, you are not old yet. In my eyes, you are in your prime. In front of the cave, you were immediately on your way, and the enemies were in awe. The scene I still remember, Dad, you are a hero."

Li Daozheng smiled faintly: "Heroes also get old. Old heroes can't be called heroes. People, generation after generation, generation after generation, and new generations grow up again. Isn't that what the so-called 'generations' mean?"

Pointing to the grave, Li Daozheng said: "If I die in the future, you will bury me here, beside your mother, she has been waiting for me here for many years. I am afraid that she will not be able to wait, and I don't know if she has been reincarnated. If not, it would be better... No, it's better to be reincarnated early. It's better to lie here alone. Every day, there is only insects and birds accompany her, there is no place to hide from the sun, there is no place to hide from the rain, and it is very cold...... I will join a wealthy family in the next life,

When I grew up, Zhou Zhou was a relative of a family, and I would like to be a poor and humble warrior. I would like to enjoy my life, and have a good life, and I would eat more and drink less. Even if I eat more and drink less, I would drink less. I used to scold her, but she didn't listen. She would be unhappy when she talked too much. When her face collapsed, I would be timid and dare not say anything. In the next life, I would find someone who can cure you. I will see if you dare to drink..."

Li Daozheng was talking while bent down and pulled the newly grown weeds around the grave.

After pulling it for a while, Li Daozheng stood up, reached out and pounded his sore waist. His expression suddenly showed a confused look. He stared at the grave and murmured: "If you promise others in the next life, what should I do?"

Then he smiled relievedly, and Li Daozheng said softly: "If I am lucky in the next life, I will also join a wealthy family. I have a status and an official position, so I will come to find you. At that time, I should be worthy of you. No matter how much I read more books, I can talk to you. If I still join a poor family and have no meals, I... will not look for you."

Li Su didn't say anything, just watched him pulling weeds, listened to him muttering, suddenly found that he was crying at some point.
