Chapter 163 Your Heart, Father's Heart
After noon, Qin Mubai estimated the time. According to Li Shimin's habits, he should have finished his lunch break at this moment and went to the imperial study of the Wude Hall of Taiji Palace to criticize the time of the memorial.
So he came to the Wude Hall, and the emperor was really here. Qin Mubai asked the guard of the guard, and found out that the emperor was alone in the imperial study. He just went in and handed over the decree.
When he came to the imperial study for a meeting, Li Shimin was criticizing some medals. Hearing that Qin Mubai came to see him, Li Shimin, who was writing a letter, was slightly stunned. He put down the red pen and put it together and said to the eunuch, "Let him wait for me at the dragon boat dock in the Taiye Pool of Daming Palace."
The eunuch came out and spread the message. After hearing this, Qin Mubai felt a block in his heart: He had to talk in such a secluded place. It seemed that Li Shimin really had a lot to say to me.
The imperial decree has been issued, and Qin Mubai has to go to Daming Palace. After waiting for a long time, the emperor drove the car. After retreating the crowd, Li Shimin came forward alone, cut his hands behind his back and smiled with a relaxed look. He said from afar, "Mu Bai, I'm afraid it's hard work for you this time."
"See Your Majesty! I dare not say anything for your majesty's worries. Qin Mubai bowed his hand.
"Good." Li Shimin came forward with a smile and patted him on the strong shoulder. He nodded and said, "Let me sit on the dragon boat. It's a nice day today. I've been tired for days and want to go boating and enjoy fish to relax, so I'll come to you as a companion.
"Weichen should obey."
Following Li Shimin, Qin Mubai boarded the dragon boat. On a big and magnificent dragon boat, except for a few boatmen and two young eunuchs waiting for tea, there are only two kings and ministers.
On the upper floor of the dragon boat, Li Shimin sent the eunuchs to put down a few tea and snacks, and even they retreated.
Boating in the lake on a sunny day in winter, looking at the mountains and rivers of the lake, it is quite magnificent and beautiful, which is a pleasant thing. But at this moment, Qin Mubai's mood is rarely relaxed. At present, this situation looks like a grand banquet.
Li Shimin stood on the side of the side of the boat with his hands cut behind his back. He looked at Qin Mubai with his back and looked into the distance. He recited a poem leisurely: "Spring search for the bones, and always bends down on the long river. The haze is linger, and the wind ripples in front of the wind..."
Qin Mubai often accompanies him and once heard this poem at a calligraphy meeting. At that time, Li Shimin once climbed a high view in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and made a poem when he looked at the river of Luoshui. This poem was written in spring. At that time, Li Shimin was also quite relaxed, and the lines were full of praise.
In this situation, why is he still in the mood to recite this old poem?
"Mu Bai."
Just as Qin Mubai was muttering, Li Shimin spoke.
"Weichen is here." Qin Mubai stepped forward and bowed.
"I want to ask you a little thing." Li Shimin smiled and said as easily as a chat, "What does it mean when a person dares to face you with his back?"
"This means that this person trusts me very much." Qin Mubai thought to himself: Just now, he has always turned his back on me. The implication is that he trusts me very much? It seems that it's time to talk about the topic...
"I trust you very much." Sure enough, Li Shimin said, "I have always been suspicious of people, and I have no doubt about using people."
"Weichen knows. I have a sense of your majesty's generosity and dependence. Qin Mubai said.
"But often, the more people I trust hurt me, the more sad I am." Li Shimin suddenly said.
Qin Mubai's heart was shocked and frowned: "Where is Weichen wrong? Please make it clear to your majesty."
"You are not wrong. It's my fault." Li Shimin still cut his hands on his back, but his eyebrows were locked and his expression became a little silent and serious.
"Your Majesty, I'm confused..." Qin Mubai said blankly.
"Don't be confused." Li Shimin smiled and said, "The reason why I asked you to come here today is to talk about private matters. Wude Hall is a hall of public discussion of state affairs, and some topics are inconvenient to discuss there.
"What is your majesty's admonition, but is this?" Qin Mubai asked.
"Well... I'm very early, and I want to have a good talk with you. Let's talk about anything else, let's talk about Gaoyang. Li Shimin said, "I'm asking you now, what's going on with you and her?"
Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, Weichen... I really don't know how to say it."
"Then let's start from the beginning, in detail and in detail." Li Shimin said.
"Yes..." Qin Mubai answered, but said everything from the first conflict between himself and Princess Gaoyang, to teaching pipa and going out of the palace. Of course, the warmth between the two is omitted, and naturally it will not be mentioned that he taught Princess Gaoyang to deal with the love of the house.
"It's my carelessness." After listening to it, Li Shimin also smiled helplessly, "Gao Yang has been spoiled since he was a child, and his temperament is strong and stubborn. I also ignored that she was about to grow up and already had her own emotions and thoughts. When I realized that this problem was ready to marry her to the Fang family, it seemed that it was too late. Gao Yang, she has fallen in love with you.
"Your Majesty, this..." Qin Mubai was stunned with embarrassment.
"Relax, I'm not that confused." Instead, Li Shimin smiled easily and patted Qin Mubai on the shoulder, "It's not your fault that Gao Yang likes you. In fact, it's not Gao Yang's fault. It's my fault.
"Your Majesty, why did you say this? How can it be wrong for you to rule the world?" Qin Mubai said.
"My name is the son of heaven, but in fact, I am also a mortal, and can I be right? Otherwise, why do I need an admonition like Wei Zheng, who often reminds and advises me when he is around me? Li Shimin smiled and showed a trace of sadness. He sighed leisurely, "Now, Gao Yang's marriage is out of control. Fang Xuanling, regardless of my holy order, expelled his son Fang Yuai from his home and exiled him to the army in the northwest border, and threatened to resign from the position, saying that he would rather die than be given the imperial marriage again. Gao Yang is the most pitiful. She... She is crazy!"
"Ah!!!" Qin Mubai's acting skills were in place and exclaimed, "How can it be?"
"There is no joke, can I still lie to you?" Li Shimin smiled bitterly with a sad face, "Gao Yang is my favorite daughter. Although she can make me angry the most, she can connect with me the most. From childhood to age, I have taken good care of her like my heart. I didn't expect that I would choose a good family to marry her for her whole life, and in the end, it would be like this. Now, Gao Yang is crazy, and there is a gap between Fang Xuanling and me. If I had known this, why should I do it at the beginning?
"Your Majesty doesn't have to be so sad. With the skill of imperial medicine and the blessing of your majesty, your Highness will definitely turn from danger." Qin Mubai had to comfort him. In my heart, I kept secretly: Why is Li Shimin such an attitude and statement?
Originally, I thought he would scold me angrily, or quietly give me a small shoe to drive me far away. I never thought that he didn't seem to have the slightest intention to hold me accountable, but only showed sadness, and vaguely seemed to ask for something from me.
"Oh..." Li Shimin sighed, raised his eyes and looked at the distance. He said leisurely, "At this point, I also have left to sigh. I can control the people in the world, but there is nothing I can do about my own precious daughter. In fact, I gave the marriage to the Fang family, and I also did it for her good. Even if she doesn't want to fool around with me all day, it's far better than being crazy now!"
The truth is revealed.
Qin Mubai can only use these four words to describe Li Shimin's performance at this moment. There is no doubt that he still loves Princess Gaoyang, his precious daughter. After all, it is flesh and blood connected and spoiled. When there was a conflict, Li Shimin couldn't wait to kill this unworthy woman with his own hands. However, once Princess Gaoyang really has something to do, Li Shimin, a father, is soft-hearted again.
"Your Majesty, what should we do at this time? Is there a place where we can work?" Qin Mubai took the initiative to ask for it.
"You still need to tie the bell to unlock the bell!" Li Shimin said, "Gao Yang is crazy. It's more or less about you. At present, the middle-sized imperial doctor is helpless about her condition. Gao Yang is so crazy that he doesn't even know her mother. Seeing me, he is crying and throwing things to smash me. I dare not go to see her now. I want you to... go and see her. Let's see if it can benefit her condition.
"Weichen should obey and do his best." Qin Mubai whispered.
"Hey..." This is Li Shimin's third sigh today. He patted Qin Mubai on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Mubai, in fact, how can I not know in my heart that you are more than a hundred times better than the love of that house? But the king joked that as early as more than two years ago, I had promised Fang Xuanling to marry Gao Yang to his Erlang. If something goes wrong, don't blame me.
"How dare you!" Qin Mubai hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has no idea of Princess Gaoyang!"
"I naturally understand that you don't have to argue." Li Shimin smiled and said, "These things don't need to be discussed now. Gao Yang is crazy. Things like giving marriage are already nonsense. At present, I only hope that Gao Yang can recover, which is better than anything else. As long as she recovers, I will be satisfied and will no longer be as reluctant to her as before.
"Your Majesty is deeply affectionate and admirable." As Qin Mubai said, he thought to himself: Li Shimin's words are interesting to me. Is she asking me to convey this message to Princess Gaoyang? - Fang Xuanling has insisted on not being married by the emperor. This marriage is blown up, and the emperor will no longer force Gao Yang!
Gaoyang won!
But... Gao Yang is also crazy!
Qin Mubai's heart was sad for a moment, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad.
Anyway, as long as people are fine and everything is fine, any troubles and problems can be solved. But now... Gaoyang's situation is really unexpected and a great tragedy!
"Okay, we don't have to say more." Li Shimin said with a smile, "Because of Gao Yang, I'm a little confused, and I'm not in the mood to listen to you report on Jiangzhou's official affairs for a while. Now you go to Xianju Hall to meet Gao Yang first. When you come back, I will wait for you to reply in Penglai Hall. There are also pheasant slaves and sons. They miss you every day.
"Weichen obeys the order!"
