"Zhi Nu, what are you doing?" Li Shi Min was stunned by Li Zhi's sudden actions and words, and then he was enraged. He was not only your father, but also the Emperor of the Great Tang.
Now, Li Shiming also knew the power of the World Party. However, considering his declining health and the fact that he was the Crown Prince, it was better to have more power. Moreover, the real army was in his hands, so Li Shiming had enough power to punish this kid. However, to be honest, Li Shiming was surprised and happy that his son had built such a big power under his eyes. At the same time, he was a little afraid and angry.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhi's arrogance was met with a " pa " under Li Tai's shocked gaze. He immediately went soft and knelt down. At the same time, he cried out miserably," Father, you have to help Little Jiu. Little Jiu is suffering!"
Old Man Li's thoughts were disrupted by Student Li's nonsensical words. He was stunned for a moment." Bang!”
Li Shi Min slapped the Minister's seat and cursed,"You're the Crown Prince of the Great Tang. Look at yourself now. You're crying. Also, Green Sparrow, stand up and answer me.”
Empress Zhangsun said with concern,""Green Sparrow, quickly get up. Zhi Nu, get up as well. Tell Imperial Father and Imperial Mother what happened.”
Li Zhi got up weakly and said with a sad expression,""Speaking of which, I have to start from ten years ago.”
The corners of the officials 'eyes twitched when they saw this. This look, tsk tsk, they were indeed father and son. Even when they were talking nonsense, they were the same. It's flirtatious.
Li Shimin coughed a little embarrassedly and reminded Little Li,"Zhi Nu, don't talk nonsense. What ten years ago? How old were you? Make it short, make it short.”
"Okay, okay. Then four years ago. Four years ago, okay?”Li Zhi threw away the miserable look of his mother dying and laughed.
The ministers 'faces were filled with black lines. Didn't I just want you to say something? Was there a need for you to ask for an exorbitant price and return the money when you landed?
" Speaking of which, we have to start from ten years ago." Li Zhi was a little embarrassed. Everyone's faces were dull, and Li Shiming's eyes were also twitching.
"Ten years ago, Third Brother, King Wu, Li Ke, and I asked Mother for permission to go out and gather information. We vowed not to be ignorant royalty like Sima Zhong, Emperor Hui of Jin. Later on, someone's horse was frightened on the street and almost bumped into Little Jiu and Third Brother. It was all thanks to my son's guard, Guihai Yidao. However, it was also because of this that I met Xiao Shuran, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family of Lanling, who had just come to the capital.
Later, the three of us agreed to go to the Pavilion of Pines and Cranes to drink. Because of this, your son was punished by mother to be confined for a period of time. However, it was also from this that your son and Shuran got to know each other.
Lang riding bamboo horse came, around the bed playing with green plum, living in the long dry, two little people do not suspect each other.
This was the most realistic description of what happened between Shuran and his son before they were ten years old. However, the turning point of the story happened after they were ten years old.
Your son fell in love with Wu Zhao and Wu Mei Niang, who were participating in the selection. Father bestowed Wu Mei Niang to your son. Your son was happy, but it made Shuran sad. She even became a nun and had the Daoist name 'Hen Nu.' This was a famous name back then.
All these years, your son has felt very guilty. Fortunately, Shuran has forgiven your son today and your son has agreed to marry her. Father, your son has felt guilty for four years. Shuran has also suffered for four years. How can you let Shuran marry someone else?
As the saying goes, red hands, yellow rattan wine, spring palace walls and willows.
The east wind is evil, the joy is thin, the heart is sad, a few years of separation.
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
Spring is the same as before, people are thin and empty, tears are red, and the silk is soaked.
Peach blossoms fall, idle pool pavilion. Although the mountain oath is still there, the brocade letter is difficult to entrust.
Mo! Mo! Mo!"
When he said this, he looked at Li Zhi's pained and tearful appearance, then looked at the short and fierce-looking King of Wei, and the extremely touching poem rang in his mind again. Immediately, the almond-shaped eyes of the noble ladies and young ladies present turned red, and they all sobbed softly. Their eyes were filled with pity as they looked at Li Zhi. It was rare to see a true infatuated man and sentimental man.
Xiao Shuran, who was the female lead of the story, should have been so touched that she fainted. However, Miss Xiao did not do so at this moment. She just looked at Li Zhi in a daze. When she saw Li Zhi secretly gesturing to herself, she suddenly had an idea and understood.
I couldn't help but think of the scene where we played together ten years ago.
The lovely dividing line.
"Little wimp, is there anything fun today?”Xiao Shuran asked in boredom.
"Why don't we play house?" Li Zhi probed.
"Playing house? Hey, you really are a little brat. I won't play with this kind of unweaned child, hmph.”Xiao Shuran looked at this little brat whom she had just met with a look of disdain. Playing house? She had stopped playing last year. He was still a prince? How ignorant.
Li Zhi raised his little head and said proudly,""Others are others. How can this king's playing house be compared to others? This king is playing a drama rather than playing house.”
Xiao Shuran shook her head and replied sincerely,""Play? He didn't understand. Playing house was just playing house. There was no need to talk so much. However, tell me about it."
"Sigh, it's really boring to talk to you. You're just a country bumpkin. You don't understand our life. It's lonely at the top.”She put her hands behind her back and sighed coquettishly.
"Are you going to tell me or not?" Her two little fists were clenched tightly, as if she was ready to PK immediately if there was any disagreement.
"Just say it. I'm afraid you don't understand.”Li Zhi's eyes twitched. He wasn't surrendering. This was spreading culture and educating the future flower of the Great Tang.
"Actually, a play is a play that focuses on dialogue. Although singing could also be used in a play, it was very rare. It was mainly an actor's dialogue or monologue on stage without accompaniment. This had already left the low-level fun of playing house. This was a form of art. Do you understand art? Script, scriptwriter, performance, and dance are all indispensable. Moreover, it tests the actor's own skills the most. Of course, due to the limited conditions, our drama is much simpler. Why don't I tell you about the script now? I've already written it a long time ago. It's called " The Story That Lu You and Tang Wan Have to Tell "?”
The little devil's interest seemed to have been piqued by Li Zhi. She clapped her hands and jumped up in joy. Li Zhi swallowed hard and cursed in his heart. Little devil, I can't take it anymore.
"There used to be a poet named Lu You. His maternal uncle had a daughter named Tang Wan. He was in love with Lu You, who was about the same age as him. The two of them were childhood sweethearts and were close to each other. As they grew older, they fell in love with each other. Li Zhi began his first script of fantasizing about the ancients, and at the same time, he introduced the drama to China in advance.
He could be considered to have added bricks and tiles to China's cultural cause.
But what Li Zhi and Xiao Shuran did not expect was that Li Zhi's act that day would come in handy today.
The lovely dividing line.
Like a willow blown by the wind, Xiao Shuran took light steps and appeared in front of everyone. Her face was sorrowful and her eyes were pink.
She was dressed in Tang court clothes and covered her face with her sleeves. She said sadly,""The world is weak and human feelings are evil.
The morning breeze dried up, tears left, want to write down the heart, alone in the slanting column.
Difficult, difficult, difficult.
People become different, today is not yesterday, sick soul long like swing rope.
The sound of the horn is cold, and the night is waning. I am afraid that people will ask me, so I swallow tears and make up for joy.
Hide, hide, hide.
Your Highness, you must not anger His Majesty because of me. I am not worthy of Your Highness's love. I only hope that in my next life, Your Highness will be able to look back at me again.”
"Sister Shuran," Li Zhi stepped forward and held Xiao Shuran's delicate hand as he said sadly.
" Brother Zhi Nu," Xiao Shuran replied with an infatuated expression.
It was as if they were separated by life and death. The two of them could no longer hold it in and hugged each other, sobbing.
Seeing Li Zhi and Xiao Shuran like this, the ministers, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun all had different expressions.
The ladies and madams who came to attend the meeting couldn't help but secretly wipe their tears. It was too touching. This was simply a tragedy in the world. The present Liang Zhu ah, sob sob, Prince Jin was really the most infatuated scholar in history. That Xiao family's lady would die without any regrets.
As for the ministers, they couldn't help but sigh. Although the Crown Prince was a playboy, they didn't expect him to have such an infatuated side. They recalled the time when the Crown Prince went shopping with his wives and concubines and was laughed at in Chang 'an. Now, when they looked back, they sighed again. What an affectionate man!
Xiao Ling, who had followed the elders of the Xiao Family, kept rolling his eyes. He knew his little sister and the leader of the party best. It seemed, it seemed, almost. He should have seen this scene often in his backyard when he was young, rehearsing plays. Speechless, he continued to roll his dead fish eyes.
Empress Zhangsun, who had always been sensitive and sensitive, was now in tears. She looked at Li Zhi with a hundred times more love. This was her son. Although he was a little naughty, he was also a lover. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Li Shiming, who was sitting in the main seat. A long-lost blush of a young girl crept up her cheeks.
Li Shiming was looking at his Ninth Brother with admiration. He had seen Li Zhi secretly making a hand gesture to Xiao Shuran. Although he didn't understand what he meant, he knew that they were acting. However, Li Shiming's initial anger and resentment had disappeared. The heart of an emperor was always difficult to predict, and it was more fickle than a woman's heart.
After being an Emperor for decades, Li Shiming did not want his son to be a simple-minded person. There was no lack of ambitious people in those aristocratic families, just like his father and himself in the past. They hoped that the Great Tang would be like the previous dynasty, short-lived.
Now, it seemed that this Ninth Brother was not as fierce as his uncle. On the surface, he was playful and cynical, but he could resolve the crisis without a trace. He did not intensify the conflict between the brothers, and at the same time, he won the praise of the court. Li Shimin could imagine that after tonight, the streets and alleys of Chang 'an, the wine shops and teahouses, and even the entire Tang Empire would spread that the Crown Prince of Tang was a good man with affection and loyalty.
Regardless of whether he and Xiao Shuran were really in love, the impact could not be better.
Li Tai, who had started this incident, had been staring at Li Zhi since he came in. Naturally, he saw Li Zhi and Xiao Shuran communicating with their hands. Although Li Tai didn't understand, he knew from their expressions that they were flirting. That was why they did this.
But now, looking at the two of them lovey-dovey, the ministers looking at Li Zhi and the admiration in their whispers, Li Tai felt as if he had swallowed a pile of shit and couldn't spit it out, but he really couldn't swallow it like this. But what could he do? If he really forced himself on that little slut from the Xiao family now, the good reputation that he had painstakingly obtained would probably be destroyed in an instant.
Thinking of this, Li Tai's expression became even uglier. In his heart, he cursed Li Zhi and the little b * tch of the Xiao family to die a horrible death.
"A man riding a bamboo horse, playing with green plums around the bed, living together in a long dry place, two little children without suspicion. Green Sparrow, look, your younger brother and that lady of the Xiao family are so deeply in love. How can Imperial Father just watch as they break up such a good couple? Therefore, I can only let you suffer.”Li Shiming looked at Li Tai with embarrassment, but he only glanced at him. Then, he looked at Li Zhi and the tearful Miss Xiao with admiration. They were a golden couple. Li Shiming was smiling.
"Grievance me? I'm wronged again? Why, why? The Crown Prince is gone, and now that the child servant has spoken, even the consort that he wants to bestow upon this king is gone. Good, very good. Father, just you wait, just you wait!"
Li Tai, who was originally depressed, was now completely ignited by Li Shiming's words.
He lowered his head, but his rat-like eyes turned to look at Li Shi Min, and then he lowered his head even more. Unfortunately, Li Shi Min had been looking at Li Zhi, so he didn't see the killing intent in Li Tai's rat-like eyes.
"Imperial Father must be joking. Your son didn't know that Zhinu and that Xiao family's young lady were a couple. Now that I know, how could I break up such a marriage?”Li Tai waved his sleeves. Although his face was still sallow, he had actually recovered the carefree demeanor of the Fourth Prince. Even his body that was as thick as a bucket was no longer so dazzling.
"Good, good, good. Green Sparrow is indeed my beloved son. You have a broad mind. Zhi Nu, as the Crown Prince, you must be like this in the future.”Clapping his hands, Li Shiming stood up and patted Li Tai's broad shoulders with a look of praise.
"Imperial Father, this is what your son should do.”Li Tai said modestly, his demeanor calm.
The officials were used to the King of Wei's arrogance and despotism and were prepared to watch a good show. However, this scene was beyond their expectations.
Li Zhi, who was crying with Miss Xiao, frowned slightly. He stopped his ability to cry. Looking at the joy and surprise on the face of the King of Wei, he was puzzled.
Was this the situation of the Divine Mother? How could there be such a huge difference?
According to all the information he had collected over the years, his fourth brother was a man who would not suffer any losses. Even the tip of a needle was bigger than his. At this moment, his little universe should explode and then be suppressed by his father, the big BOSS. Then, he would persuade his father to let his fourth brother go. Then, the best result would be that his fourth brother would be driven out of Chang 'an, and his position as the Crown Prince would be as stable as Mount Tai. Moreover, he would be able to reunite with his little devil. Now, was this the situation of the Divine Mother?
In the blink of an eye, he actually put on a show of filial piety. Wasn't this stealing my limelight?
Tomorrow, the reputation of his fourth brother's magnanimity would definitely spread among the people. He and the little devil would instead appear petty and become the perfect couple under the King of Wei's blessing. In the future, when he saw this fourth brother again, would he not be grateful to him? Otherwise, wouldn't he have a reputation of being ungrateful and heartless?
Hmph, I didn't grow up eating cabbage.
"Haha, fourth brother, you are indeed my good fourth brother. You know about my relationship with Miss Xiao and are actually so magnanimous. I thank fourth brother for your great kindness here. Why don't father bestow another marriage to fourth brother? I have a small fortune these years. When the time comes, I will definitely send ten thousand taels of gold to congratulate fourth brother to show fourth brother's understanding of me.”Li Zhi was so touched that he hugged Li Tai. He was so happy that he didn't know what to do.
The ministers were in an uproar. Ten thousand taels of gold! This was an unimaginable amount in the early years of Zhenguan. Ordinary aristocratic families would not be able to take out such a huge sum of money even if they went bankrupt. They had long heard that the Crown Prince was wealthy. It seemed that he was indeed extraordinary. This red packet was heavy.
Even the King of Wei, Li Tai, and Li Shimin were amazed by Li Zhi's generosity.
Li Tai cupped his hands and smiled stiffly. Li Shimin, who had always been thrifty, did not blame Li Zhi for his generosity. Instead, he stroked his mustache and smiled with relief.
Perhaps this was Li Shiming's misfortune. In history, Li Shiming's son, King of Qi Li You, was the first to kill his master and rebel. Then, it was Crown Prince Li Chengqian who rebelled. After his death, Third Prince Li Ke also died because of his rebellion. As for King of Wei Li Tai, he failed to seize the throne and died in depression. As for Li Zhi, he was afraid of his wife and even lost the Tang Empire. He left his name for thousands of years and became a joke.
During the reign of Emperor Zhaowu, Wu Sansi, the nephew of Wu Meiniang, had even played with all the princesses of the Tang royal family. The Tang royal family was in ruins.
Li Shiming, who had always been a good judge of character, had always lacked foresight in his son. But, perhaps, this was how a father should be. He would never think of his son in the best direction.
"Fourth Brother, not bad. Your reaction is quite fast. You saved the situation with just two words.”Li Zhi went forward and hugged Li Tai again. He smiled and whispered into Li Tai's ear. To outsiders, it seemed like they were whispering to each other.
Li Tai also laughed. It was really comical. His small eyes narrowed with the charming demeanor of Wang Jing in the future. He replied with a smile,"Zhi Nu, you've praised me. We're the same.”
After saying that, the two of them separated from each other and looked at each other again. They both smiled amiably.
For a moment, the hall was filled with laughter and cheers as the officials congratulated him.
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji stepped forward with a smile on his face. However, his gaze was constantly wandering between Li Zhi and Li Tai, and the coldness in his eyes deepened.
The lovely dividing line.
During the New Year's Eve, Li Zhi used the excuse of going out to relieve himself. When he reached a hidden place, a figure suddenly appeared and bowed to Li Zhi.
"Send someone to keep an eye on the King of Wei. Bengong wants to know everything that happens after the banquet, even if it's what he eats every day.”
"Yes!"
"Something abnormal must be a demon. Fourth Brother, ah, Fourth Brother, I want to see what else you can do. Xiao Jiu is waiting.”
