0209 Peach and plum on branch
With Li Dan's solemn cultivation, he not only did not fight against his aggressive mother, but even comforted Li Tong, a young man, who really couldn't recognize himself as a scum.
Only when a person has great hope can he tolerate it. This is not appropriate to Li Dan. At least, no matter when he is frustrated or proud, he has not made much change in his work.
Li Tong can only sigh at this. It is really anomaly that people like his grandfather and grandmother can give birth to such a peaceful and uncontested son.
Because Li Dan's attitude was gentle and did not denounce what Li Tong did, the atmosphere in the hall was no longer as awkward as it was at the beginning.
However, when Li Tong mentioned his intention, he felt a little uncomfortable. After all, the Longmen Ceremony was the highlight of the usurpation of the Tang Dynasty, similar to the Luo Dian last year.
Li Dan was open to this. After hearing this, he just sighed: "The elders of the family are the worst. They are the ones who are good at it. They are forced to do this. His Majesty the Emperor is very determined to be the Emperor, but he regrets that the sons are not good at the weapons and have to take on heavy responsibilities so that I can keep my peace and well-being. Please ask Sanlang to tell the Emperor that it is okay to take the rituals and follow the rituals, and there is no other request."
After hearing this, Li Tong felt complicated for a moment. He also understood that his fourth uncle had no room to struggle in his current state, but just his willingness to accept his fate really made people sigh that the Tang Dynasty was passed down to this generation, which was a bit of a successor.
"I respectfully accept the emperor's order and must submit it to the Emperor of God."
Li Tong responded first, and then said curiously: "In previous years, I felt ashamed and did not dare to disturb the saints easily. Or I was polite to rituals, but I was inevitably alienated from the relationship. Today I am following the order and I should also worship people's favors again while I wassuing an edict. Otherwise, the Empress knew that my relatives were lacking in rituals, so she would angrily denounce the children's slutty."
"Under the high wall, there is a gap of human feelings. This is not a child's rudeness, but a gentleman. Sanlang has such kindness, which shows that his sister-in-law is really upbringing."
When Li Dan heard this, his face showed a gentle smile, but after a moment, he became a little dim: "The queen is close to her and doesn't want your children to see ugly things. But your brothers and sisters, even if Sanlang doesn't say anything, he will introduce you to let them know that our handsome guy is decent and not let him be willful."
Li Tong also knew that the Empress Liu's father had not been punished for a long time, so he was in extreme sorrow that he did not want to harass him. He took the initiative to raise this topic, mainly because he wanted to meet the little Sanlang in his fourth uncle's family.
But he still stood up from the table and retreated outside the hall to worship the queen. When he got up after the ceremony, he saw the middle-level official leading a few young men and women along the corridor hall toward this trip.
The two saints and four sons, who are the youngest, are Li Dan. Although the emperor was not very happy, his daily life was very rich. So far, he has five sons and seven daughters, and he has given birth to three this year alone.
But even so, Wu Zetian's branch is still not much compared with the other two sons of Emperor Gaozong. The Li Sujie produced by Concubine Xiao Shu had more than a dozen sons alone. The other Li Shangjin also had nine sons. It can be seen that he was not satisfied with politics and could only concentrate on cultivating and producing. With such a large number of differences, how could Wu Zetian tolerate these two people?
As for Li Tong and his team overtaking, they have to wait until his second brother Li Shouli starts to move completely. However, now Li Shouli doesn't even have a wife, so he doesn't seem to be too concerned. It's hard to judge whether he can still have such glory in the future.
Although Li Dan has many children, he is not old. Even the eldest prince Li Chengqi is only in his early teens and is several years younger than Li Tong.
The middle-level official introduced several people into the hall. A little guy who was five or six years old and had a terrifying head and brain pulled the child who was a few points taller than him in front of him and shouted: "Aye is urgently rumored, what distinguished guests are going to meet? My second brother and I play chess and we only have to win!"
As soon as Li Tong returned to the table, he looked at the sound and saw that the little guy was less than three feet tall. He was wearing a tiger-patterned hat and a thick woven double-breasted brocade robe. He should have been noble, but because he narrowed down, he looked small and exquisite.
The little guy's legs are not long, his steps are fast, his appearance is white and his lips are red, and his big black eyes look very energetic. Judging from his age, Li Tong has guessed that this little guy should be his fourth uncle's third son, Li Longji, King of Chu.
"The naughty boy is in a bad state, and he is in the house. I will not restrain my respects!"
Li Dan scolded him slightly, but there was a smile on his face. He turned to Li Tong who was standing in the middle of the table, and pointed to the slightly quiet boy in front of him and smiled: "This is your unworthy young brother, Sanlang."
"Where did Saburo come from? Why is there another Saburo?"
Li Longji is not old, but he is active. When he heard his father say this, he jumped out from behind the two brothers, raised his head and looked at Li Tong.
"I have met His Highness, King Baoyu, and I have met His Highness, and all the great kings."
Although Li Tong is old, his title is lower than the princes and princes in front of him. He stepped forward and bowed first.
When a few boys and girls saw Li Tong with a tall figure walking in, they were stunned and looked at him curiously. Li Dan also walked down the hall and frowned and said, "This is your uncle's disciple. Brother, I'm not going to give him a greeting."
A few people may be rare, but they listen to their father's tone of sternness and a few young people who are still young are moving backwards and dare not speak.
However, Crown Prince Li Chengqi and Heng King Li Chengyi, two older ones, subconsciously arched their hands after hearing this. However, Li Chengqi raised his hand halfway and seemed to have awakened, and then lowered his hand. His rather delicate eyebrows frowned, and his eyes looked at Li Tong with displeasure.
"I have heard of this name. My aunt came to see her the day before yesterday and praised the young king Baoyu. The empress was angry and left the seat!"
The little guy Li Longji said quickly and pointed at Li Tong with a surprise: "Is it yours that the Queen is not allowed to play the beautiful tune "Xiaoyao King"? It turns out that it is my relative!"
Li Tong smiled faintly, and he reminded himself over and over again that naughty children do not need to be seen in general, but from this child's words, he also heard that his reputation at his fourth uncle's house was really bad.
His fourth uncle Li Dan may not blame him, but the queen Liu obviously did not have such a measure. If you think of his father Liu Yanjing's previous bad attitude towards him, you can think of Empress Liu's disgust towards him, the scum of his family.
Li Dan's face was a little embarrassed when his child made a mistake. He stepped forward and said to Li Tong: "My wife and child are narrow-minded, and they are worried about their lives. Sanlang, you are a talented person, so you don't have to take it to your heart."
Li Tong turned his head and smiled at Li Dan: "No need for everyone's comfort. I have lived a life so far, and I always have three parts of my emotions that can hide. Those who hurt my heart envy this innocence, parents do not wait for this lonely soul. I am sloppy and dare not seek favors anymore."
When Li Dan heard this, his face became more serious. He looked at the eldest son with a straight face and said in a calm voice: "Say to your third brother!"
Li Chengqi looked up at his father, glanced at Li Tong again, but lowered his head and looked at the tip of his boots. Then, with a crisp sound, Li Dan was so angry that he slapped him directly to the ground.
"How are the children so prominent? Your father is the real thief in the thief, my brother, I..."
Li Dan's face turned red with anger. When he turned his head and looked at Li Tong, before he could speak, Li Tong had already knelt down first: "The vulgar eyes dare not look at the luck. I beg everyone not to lose their pure interests because of the little minister."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Tuaner, who was standing outside the hall, had already rushed in. She didn't know the cause and effect, so she just said that the emperor made things difficult for the young king. She stepped forward and stopped the young king and the emperor. Looking at Li Dan, she said, "I don't know why the saint is angry? I asked about the cause and effect and replied to the God Emperor. The king is both talented and good, and he is not a messenger at the hall. The God Emperor often ordered to praise him. He did not say that there was no one in the door. He intended to be solemn, so he asked the saint to ask the saint, and he was named and respected. I am afraid that the palace would not be able to discuss wrong with the palace!"
Hearing this vehement remark, Li Dan's face turned pale again. Seeing this, Li Tong didn't care about the etiquette, he stood up and pulled Wei Tuan'er, and said in a calm voice: "The Emperor of God has sent me a personal message to me, and I am not in my reputation and status. Thank you, Miss Wei's kind words to return to the police, which makes me feel that this trip is not an ordinary use."
Wei Tuaner saw the young king's brows slightly locked, and his arrogant attitude became calm. Thinking that there was something wrong with it, he then put his skirt on his face and bowed his head and said, "The king is meticulous, but I am confused and ask the saint to punish him."
Li Dan just snorted coldly, turned and looked at Li Tong, opening his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Li Tong didn't expect that seeing Li Longji's naughty child would lead to this storm. Li Dan's wife and children didn't like him, but he didn't feel disgusted with this uncle. After pondering for a moment, he raised his hand and said, "It's better to be slower than to be anxious. Isn't it just that I am the old year Meng Lang lost his fortune. Everyone is elegant and quiet, and he teaches by words and deeds, and has no worries for a short time. The children in the court have long spring and autumn, and even if there is a burning thought, there is no need to express the time.
Peaches and plums on the branches, trace back to the original source. The five fingers may be uneven, and the flesh and blood are connected. Today, I respectfully hear all kinds of words, and I have already felt sweet rain and gratitude, and I am very satisfied with the hunger and thirst of the withered grains. I have one or two of them that can be known and thoughtful to everyone, and I am grateful to you, and I cannot reach the point. The feelings of love are a net, and I can be in this place, not to be the orphans of the world, I have already..."
"Sanlang doesn't have to say anything more. Your uncle is really ashamed to hear it. His Majesty the Emperor of God has a profound appreciation. If you get this from the court, it doesn't mean that there is no one, but it's a good word!"
Li Dan stepped forward and patted the nephew's shoulder, with admiration and loneliness between his eyebrows and eyes.
When he left Zhuang Jingyuan, Li Tong just bowed his head and walked silently. This time he saw his fourth uncle, the atmosphere was not good, and he also made him feel a lot.
Of course, this feeling was mainly born because of his fourth uncle. This emperor was so frustrated that he was suppressed by his mother, so that Li Dan didn't feel that he was the master of the Tang Dynasty from the bottom of his heart. Otherwise, no matter how open-minded the person was, he would not show closeness to him.
Wei Tuaner followed behind and saw that the king was speechless. Finally, he couldn't help but whisper: "I know I'm rude, but I can't stand it when I see the king!"
Li Tong turned his head and saw that she was timid in her face, no longer as arrogant as she had in Zhuangjing Hall before. Zhan Yan smiled: "Miss Wei spoke to me and Xiao Wang was deeply grateful. But the world is dense, not just the surface, and many times, you should not force yourself to fight for a while. The energy is in your heart, and it is still the world, but it is difficult to take it back. It is important to know that human relationships are like spider webs, and people never walk alone, and the world is definitely not set for me. If you cannot break the relationship in a moment, you should still think carefully before you act."
Wei Tuaner listened seriously, murmured, and after a moment he smiled: "If I hadn't been from King Xing, how could I learn these principles?"
