Chapter 977 (1/2)

Since Li Hong led the officials to test the steam train outside Chang'an city to return to the Imperial Palace, Li Lingyue reported it for eye-catching purposes. In addition, Li Hongyue beat Li Lingyue. Even if they had a close feud, they would have to wait for a long time to meet each other, and neither of them could persuade them to open their brother and sister.

Li Xian looked at his brother and sister without saying a word. Instead, he got up and walked out of Penglai hall for the sake of keeping his ears clean. He wandered around the small flower garden not far ahead, thinking about how to stabilize his advantages in the negotiations with Dashi and Japan.

Over the years, he had no ambition to compete for supremacy. Even when he took a bath and looked at the knife edge on his arm, his hatred for Li Hong gradually dissipated.

So even now he can face the knife edge on his arm without any haze and hatred in his heart.

Even he himself did not know when this transformation took place. Sometimes he would think that when Fang MuQing went to visit him in Jiling City, he always supported the Cordoba family in private according to the imperial court's will, or because he had been in the battle field of Dashi and various crises in Jiling City, he looked down on life and death at the same time A new understanding?

He doesn't know and can't say clearly, but he can be sure that Fang MuQing and Li Hong have paid a lot for themselves in the past few years.

Even if he was cut off an arm by Li Hong, even if he was exiled to Bazhou, and then to Jiling City, although he never recovered his identity as the king of the Tang Dynasty during this period, how could he have done it without Li Hong's support?

Even in the hands of the right has been greater than a prince should have the right!

Sitting in the small corridor Pavilion, the big tree in front of Penglai hall, the big tree planted by Li Hong and his father's emperor, whose thick branches and leaves have also extended to the top of the gallery and pavilion, making the corridor and pavilion appear somewhat dim under the cover of dense leaves.

This towering tree, which has been growing for more than 30 years, never let anyone trim the branches and leaves of this tree when Li Zhi was alive or Wu Mei himself. Even if it was towards the direction of Penglai hall, the expenditure was far away, and the branches had already been pressed on the eaves. Wu Mei would rather lower the eaves than cut them off, affecting his natural growth.

”As soon as the leaves fall in late autumn, the courtyard will be covered with golden leaves. The Empress Dowager won't let the eunuchs and maids clean them, so the whole courtyard is covered layer by layer. Under the afternoon sunshine, it looks golden. Sometimes the empress mother will ask people to move a reclining chair and sit under the tree, and then silently watch the golden leaves falling from the sky. Even if it falls on her blanket or happens to fall into a steaming tea cup, the mother doesn't care. She gently blows to the ground and picks up the leaves in the tea. It's very leisurely. ”

I don't know when, Li Lingyue, who had quarreled with Li Hong, walked slowly behind Li Xian. Li Xian saw Li Hong not far ahead. He waved at him and walked out of Penglai hall. He said that he wanted to go to Shangshi bureau to see how the lunch preparation of the empress mother was.

”This tree is just like the fifth. From the day it was born, it never abides by any rules in the imperial palace. The father and the empress let the fifth grow freely and naturally like this tree. No matter what kind of extraordinary things Li Hong did, even when he was the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, he made the reform of the Ministry of Hubu in a mess. He and Dai Zhide of the Ministry of rites quarreled with each other in the court. Neither his mother nor his father had ever really disciplined Laowu. See that? ”

Li Xian pointed to the eaves that had been lowered, and the huge branches that stretched out and pressed on the top of a convenient hall in Penglai hall. He continued: ”most of the temperament of Laowu is like that branch, which can stretch but not bend. So in the end, even the empress mother or the father and emperor have to make way for him. The empress mother lowered the eaves, and the father and Emperor changed the court.”

Li Lingyue sat down opposite Li Xian, her beautiful eyes staring at Li Xian's empty sleeves gently lifted by the breeze. She said with some Emptiness: ”the empress has stepped down all obstacles for the emperor, and the father has paved a smooth road for him. In fact In fact, when I was young, I didn't have a deep impression on him, and I didn't think he was my favorite. I was 13 years behind him. When I was one year old, my brother had been Minister of the Ministry of household for four years, and soon he would go to Anxi. In my memory, my highness prince of the Tang Dynasty always thought it was you. ”
