Dayan Fifty Dao

Chapter 99
Eunuch Quan hesitated to speak, wanted to speak but hesitated, Li Mao didn't know what to say, and asked again and again: "Eunuch, Xiao Wang is stupid, please tell Eunuch."

Eunuch Quan sighed and said, "Okay, then I'm really going to speak."

Li Mao urged again and again, Eunuch Quan sighed and said, "My lord, do you know how to fight for the foundation of the country?"

Li Mao nodded: "I know, some people support Luoyang King, some people support Northeast King, and of course some people prefer Zhongling'er."

Eunuch Quan nodded, then sighed and said: "My lord, originally the emperor was in good health, and he wanted to wait for the little prince to be born, so he wanted to choose a temporary prince, but now the emperor suddenly feels that his health is not as good as before, so this time I am afraid it is not a temporary prince. Prince, it's that simple."

"There is such a thing?" Although Li Mao knew it in his heart, he couldn't believe it.

Eunuch Quan nodded and said, "Can I still lie to you?"

At this moment, Li Mao had mixed emotions in his heart. He heard a lot from these words, and after a long time, he confirmed again: "Could it be that there is no movement from the concubines in the palace?"

Eunuch Quan shook his head: "Hey, let's put it this way, although the emperor has worked hard, he has not forgotten the important event of extending the heirs, but God is not beautiful, and no prince has been born in the past few decades. Has there been any change during the year? Your Majesty has given up hope."

"Then?." Li Mao wanted to ask, but he didn't ask.

Eunuch Quan sighed for a long time: "My lord, you understand this, just in case, I'm talking about just in case, if the emperor really doesn't have a little prince, tell me, how should you deal with yourself?"

Li Mao's face turned pale when he heard it, and his lips trembled. After a long time, he almost begged and said: "Elder-in-law, father-in-law, I, I, Li Mao, just practice Taoism and pills when I'm idle. I don’t do evil, and I don’t ask the court for anything. Did I commit any crimes? What kind of karma made me go this way?”

Eunuch Quan shook his head and sighed: "My lord, I really don't blame me for this, and I'll give you a good word for you, to tell you the truth, when the son was in Liangzhou, I thought he was being instructed by an expert.

Is this Prince Ping'an not good?Even if he has the heart, what's the point of procrastinating?When the emperor really can't give birth to a prince, he will try his best, after all, the old slave is on your side.

But the son is too old, hey, now the old slave can’t say anything about him, he fought Luoyang, he was the first soldier, and his reputation spread far and wide, and he fought Chengdu even more resolutely, the emperor was shocked when he heard about it, he is like a playboy. Is there any?
Now it's all right, originally the emperor was unwilling to hand over the throne to him, but now it's all right, the emperor wants to hand over the throne to him, but someone is unwilling.I think Shizi should understand the truth that life is tough and easy to break, so now it all falls on your father's shoulders where he will go.

The prince and the old slave talked a lot, but it was for your own good. The emperor's original words, if he wants to be a filial son, he will take the prince to Chengdu to take up his post. First, he will be a Jiedu envoy. After a few years Then seal the real power of the King of Chengdu.

If he wants the throne, what he should do is up to you, as the saying goes, there are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country, and this emperor can't."

Li Mao sighed: "I know, the emperor can't have two fathers. Father-in-law, Xiao Wang, please give me a few more days, please?"

Eunuch Quan smiled: "Don't worry, the emperor didn't ask you to make a decision now, but in the court situation, the situation is changing, and it's not too late. Then the Sajia will go to the post house to wait for the news. You make a decision, and the Sajia will come again."

Li Mao got up and bowed deeply to Eunuch Quan, but this time, Eunuch Quan was not polite, and left with his head up, saying goodbye to Eunuch Quan. Li Mao sat quietly for a long time, and his mind went blank during this time.

After he got up, it was already half noon, he found two young men, went to the cloth shop, shoe shop, picked out a lot of clothes, then went to pick out silk quilt covers, and then went to pick out some tea utensils These.

The people in the city felt very strange to see the majestic King Huainan coming out to purchase in person, but he didn't seem to have bought anything for so many years, and he didn't know what counter-offering meant, so he kept saying: "It's so cheap, so good Cheap"

The shopkeeper who sold the goods was enthusiastic, and said one after another: "My lord, come often when you are free."

But Li Mao just waved his hands and didn't speak. They thought that maybe the lord had a noble status, so they should talk to themselves more, but none of them dared to take offense. Although Li Mao was in Huainan, he had never talked to him for decades. Ordinary people have said so much. ,

Back in the mansion, Li Mao sat quietly in the courtyard, waiting for Li Huai and Li Ling to return. Li Huai came back first, and he said excitedly, "Father, I have been promoted. The emperor asked me to be the governor of Chengdu. Do you know that?" , Chengdu."

Li Mao nodded, not much joy, but pulled him over, picked out a piece of clothing and said, "Huai'er, in all these years, dad has never picked out a piece of clothing for you, do you think this one suits you?"

Li Huai said impatiently: "Father, what's wrong with you? This is all done by servants, not to mention that I never lack clothes. Come on, Dad, are you unhappy that I am the governor?"

Li Mao was a little absent-minded, paused for a moment, and smiled awkwardly: "Happy, happy."

After speaking, he pulled Li Huai again, and picked out two pairs of court boots, two pairs of cloth shoes, and two pairs of riding boots in a basket of shoes, insisting on letting Li Huai try it, but Li Huai had no choice but to be reluctant. After trying on the shoes, Li Mao said leisurely, "Dad has been sorry to you for so many years.

I didn't care about your studies, nor did I care about your daily life. Now that I think about it, I feel very guilty. Even my father doesn't know your size. The servant girl in the mansion told me that my father is not a good father. "

As he spoke, he wiped away his tears, Li Ling also rushed back at this time, he just wanted to speak, but saw Li Mao crying, he couldn't help shouting at Li Huai: "Are you making father angry again? "

Li Huai was very aggrieved, so he quickly explained, Li Ling held a pair of shoes and said, "Why are you buying these?"

Li Huai pointed to Li Mao and said, "Father bought it."

At this time, Li Maoqiang said with a smile on his face, "Ling'er, you should try it too."

Li Ling was not as talkative as Li Huai, so he quickly put on a long gown and said, "I like this one, Dad, why are you buying these?"

Li Mao shook his hand: "Father thinks that he has never bought anything for you all these years. Although our palace is not short of food and clothing, it's all done by servants. It's all because father is sorry for you." I burst into tears.

Li Ling felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Li Mao shook his head: "When people are old, it is inevitable to hurt the spring and the autumn. I suddenly think that I have never been kind to you all these years. Isn't it uncomfortable?"

Li Ling hurriedly persuaded: "Father, you are really thinking too much. Although you didn't strictly control us, we are not slutty people. Brother Huai and I have never embarrassed Dad."

Li Mao cried again: "You are all good boys, it's because you didn't embarrass dad that dad feels bad."
