When I woke up, I was fine

Chapter 113 Confidant

Hearing that Guan Lengyan was leaving, Li Yuan couldn't care less, and hurried out of the palace, and found Guan Lengyan who was directing his servants to pack their luggage.

"Ma'am, are you leaving? When will you be back?"

"Come back after finishing the affairs of the deceased husband. Our family, Ah Jin, still has to find a husband to study with him in Chang'an. Our family is in a remote village, and the husband there is not as good as Chang'an."

Li Yuan nodded, "It is indeed as Madam said, celebrities and Confucian scholars are all in Chang'an City, I remember that Shimin has a lot of well-read books in his hands, and I will ask him to choose the most capable one to give lectures to Ah Jin. "

"This will not bother His Royal Highness King Qin."

"They are all brothers, and they should, so there is no need for Madam to refuse."

"They are just brothers who can't fight each other. From His Royal Highness, they can still be called brothers. How can this kind of relationship compare with the dedication of the Crown Princess. I have entrusted this matter to the Crown Princess. Let her do this for a while. It is time to send people to search various places, find a suitable gentleman and place him in Chang'an, and we will come back later."

Seeing that Guan Lengyan didn't answer his words, Li Yuan thought that his sons had been jumping up and down these days, it was impossible for the Crown Princess not to know, and it was impossible for the Crown Princess not to tell Guan Lengyan.

So I just pointed it out directly, "I have something I want to discuss with my wife. I don't know when you and I will discuss the matter of marriage."

Guan Lengyan's expression was calm, "Let me tell His Majesty the truth, I don't think about marriage anymore, let's watch these two children and live slowly."

"Why does Madam think so? Madam is still young..."

"Because I'm still young, I've been widowed twice. If I marry Your Majesty, I'll tell you the truth. Your Majesty is so much older than me. What if he walks in front of me again?"

"If I walk in front of you, Jiancheng and Ah Yang will definitely respect you in the future. Even if you don't worry about Jiancheng, don't you worry about Ah Yang?"

"That's not it. I'm not short of support, and it's not that I don't have money. I've been rich and well-clothed since I was a child. I haven't been wronged in terms of food, clothing and things. I always want to eat and have what I want. I have what I want. This is more comfortable than most people’s life. What do I lack? What I lack is of course family affection. As I said some time ago, my parents passed away early. I have no one to rely on. After I got married, I thought I could rely on my husband, but my husband also left me. If I marry Your Majesty, how many years will His Majesty allow me to rely on?"

Speaking of this, I wiped my tears, "I dare not rely on others anymore. As the saying goes, relying on mountains and mountains, relying on everyone to die, I will live alone. Please also take care of yourself. Your Majesty raised troops from Taiyuan. The heroism of the stock is so great that today, when the historian writes a pen, all he will give to His Majesty is praise. Your Majesty and I are just sons and daughters."

Li Yuan was not reconciled, "Think about it carefully, let's talk again when you return to Chang'an in the future."

Guan Lengyan shook her head, "Your Majesty and I are only in-laws."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and left. When Li Yuan returned to the palace, he was quite distraught.

This made his sons breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that they all rejected the matter, the old man should stop now.

On the surface Li Yuan did calm down, but he asked someone to find a good pipa for him.

Li Yuan is a master at playing the pipa. After finishing the important matters, he doesn't like to go to the harem to drink and have fun with others. He starts playing the pipa alone to relieve his worries.

This made his sons look angry, funny, and distressed.

Anyway, Li Yuan frowned recently, feeling very unhappy, because he stayed away from alcohol, Li Yuan, whose face was a little swollen before, looked a lot healthier now, and his potbellied figure has also improved, and he finally has a little emperor's courage in his actions .

Although the changes were great, Li Yuan was still a little unhappy. His confidant ministers knew why he was unhappy, so many people tried their best to recruit folk women at this time, and found some women who looked like Guan Lengyan to fill the court.

This time Li Yuan refused, "It's hard to paint the skin and paint the bones. Knowing people and knowing the face but not the heart. Such a tossing is a low level. I don't know how they will laugh at me next time we meet."

In a word: the emperor is not happy.

After two or three months, when the crops were harvested in autumn, Li Shimin was about to lead troops to conquer the Qiang people, and held a banquet for Li Shimin to practice in the Tai Chi Palace at night. During the meal, Li Shimin deliberately told some interesting stories about the Qin Palace, hoping to impress the old father. Put a little smile on your face.

Li Yuan didn't pay much attention to these trivial and warm things in the family, but said to his sons, "You all have children now, and our Li family has the world, so we should give the children kings."

So the next morning, Cao Li took his son in his arms to accept the imperial decree, and Li Yuan named Li Chengzong the king of Taiyuan.

Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan and granted the place of Taiyuan to Li Chengzong, which can be regarded as expressing his support for the prince in another sense.

Cao Qian pointed his son's little nose with his finger, "Your boy is now the king of the county."

Such a good thing also happened in the East Palace and Prince Qin's Mansion. So far, Li Yuan has only these four grandchildren.

Among the four grandsons, only Li Chengzong and Li Chengqian are the most valuable.It is indispensable to hold a banquet for these four little guys to become kings, so Guanyin's maidservant came to discuss with Cao Li to see how to arrange the banquet for relatives this time, and when should it be held?

The two have discussed that the East Palace will be done first, and after the East Palace is over, it will be done again in the Prince Qin's Mansion.After agreeing on the time and place, Cao Qian sent an invitation to Li Yuan according to the usual practice.

In the past, Li Yuan would not come, but this time he agreed to come.It is imperative for Cao Yang to upgrade the specifications, because the East Palace and the Taiji Hall are not far away, so it is not too difficult for Cao Yang.

The Guanyin servant girl was in a hurry at this time. The emperor was leaving the palace. All the safety on the road was worrying, and the food eaten in the palace of the Prince of Qin had to be safe enough.Fortunately, there are many female relatives in the Prince Qin's mansion, how many of them can help Guanyin's servant girl?But there were a few that Guanyin's maidservant had to be on guard against, especially Yang Shi. If she couldn't open a bag of poison and poisoned Li Yuan to death, Li Shimin wouldn't be able to speak clearly even if his mouth was all over.

On the day of the banquet held in the East Palace, anyone who had an invitation would bring their family along. After all, everyone had heard that the emperor would come in person, so it was natural to bring all the younger generations here at this time.He even brought over people who didn't have invitations. After the black people came, Cao Li frowned, fearing that if he didn't prepare enough, he would be ashamed.

There were more people coming this time, more people than at the time of the full moon or the Hundred Days Banquet.When Cao Li was talking to the relatives of those wives in the main hall, he suddenly found that many widowed wives came today.

These people don't usually like to go out. After all, everyone thinks that it is a bit unlucky for these people to go out to dinner when there are festive events.

Cao Qian's mouth was dry when talking to people in the hall. The maid helped her down to drink water, and the Guanyin servant girl chased her out. Cao Qian couldn't help complaining, "There are too many people here today, right? There are many others that I don’t usually see. A lady came to me today, and I don’t know how to address her. If it wasn’t for the maid next to me saying that I should call her aunt, I would…”

The Guanyin servant girl stepped forward and covered Cao Li's mouth, "Sister-in-law, didn't you see that? These people came here to congratulate our children, they all came here for Daddy."

Just as Cao Li was about to refute, he looked around immediately, put the cup into the hand of the maid and kicked the maid out, "What do you mean by that?"

"I don't know who said it. It is said that Daddy has been thinking about Mrs. Guan..."

"Damn it, who is spreading rumors behind your back?" Cao Qiang was extremely angry, and the Guanyin maid pulled Cao Qiang's sleeve, "Don't be angry now, no, many people have come."

Cao Yang had already thought through the cause and effect clearly, and felt that the reason why Li Yuan is what he is today is because those people are used to it.

He's such a bad old man, what's he thinking about the next spring?He thought about it, Guan Lengyan rejected him, even if this matter is over, those people outside are afraid that the world will be peaceful and stir up trouble everywhere.Now that he is adding fuel to the fire again, he is afraid that Li Yuan won't be able to remember his flamboyance.

Cao Li wished to drive all these people out.

Thinking of this, I called the maids in, "You hold another banquet in the apse. The uncles and aunts of His Royal Highness, including the married princess and princess of our family, are invited here, and all the female family members of the Qin Palace and the Qi Palace are invited to the back Come on, don't mix with those people outside. When the time comes, His Majesty, please go directly to the apse."

Cao Qian thought to himself: Those old ladies outside are not entertaining, they can do whatever they want, just let the maids and guards watch and don't let them run around, let them go after eating and drinking.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Cao Qiang took the hand of Guanyin's maidservant to the back hall. After a while, all these relatives were invited over. People eat and drink.

Soon Li Yuan arrived, and when he arrived, he was separated by a screen, and there was a table for men and a table for women, and the banquet began.

Someone carried the little fat man out to Li Yuan, and Li Jiancheng took his cousins ​​to serve the older generation.

In front of their relatives, this group of people did not talk about the affairs of the imperial court. Li Yuan and his brothers recalled the past, and they must educate the younger generation.

When he was talking happily, a little smile appeared on Li Yuan's face. Li Yuanji held the wine and invited Li Yuan to drink a few times. Seeing the sunset, when everyone was about to disperse, a guard came hurriedly Here in the harem, a waiter whispered a few words in the ear, and the waiter ran over in shock.

Just when he was about to tell Li Yuan, Li Yuan gave him an unhappy look, "There is something to hide in front of the flesh and blood relatives, so speak quickly."

"Liu Wenjing rebelled."

Liu Wenjing is Li Yuan's confidant and a hero who founded the country. Li Yuan discusses everything with Liu Wenjing, including Li Yuan's thoughts that can be said or not. Li Yuan's son may not know it, but Liu Wenjing definitely knows it.

The sudden rebellion of such a confidant had a particularly strong impact on Li Yuan.

The happy and harmonious environment just now disappeared, Li Yuan handed the little fatty Chengzong in his arms to Li Jiancheng, and said to the sitting princes: "Brothers, drink here first, and I will go to the Tai Chi Hall."

Li Jiancheng quickly put the child in the arms of the waiter, and asked someone to bring it back to Cao Li, and he was about to chase Li Yuan to Taiji Palace.The others were not in the mood to drink anymore, so everyone stood up and left together.

When this incident happened, those female family members also left one after another at this time. Cao Li and Guanyin's maid sent all these relatives out, and the two stayed in the East Palace anxiously waiting for news.
