The first free king of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 414 Father and Son
"Where is the Supreme Emperor?"

On the east side of the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin was swaying back and forth, a little uncertain whether to go to the Tai Chi Hall or not.

To put it bluntly, I was still afraid of meeting my father.

After all, I used to be afraid of suffering, but now every time I go to this Tai Chi Hall, I really dare not go if I am not mentally prepared.

"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has been sitting outside the palace gate since he came back."

"Sit outside the temple gate?"

Li Shimin's brows and eyes froze, and even his usual decisive demeanor was a little confusing for a while.

It's so cold, is the father too angry to lower the fire?
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has been sitting for half an hour and has never moved."

At this time, a little servant hurried over from the corner.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin waved his hand in boredom, and the little servant quickly stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor said that if Your Majesty is here, please come over—"

After all, the little servant looked at Li Shimin cautiously.

Li Shimin was stunned, thinking about why his father suddenly called him over...

"Your Majesty - Your Majesty -?"

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, and came back to his senses when the old servant behind him reminded him softly.

He waved his hand: "You guys step back, I will go by myself."

Until the following servants withdrew.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, straightened his robes, and then walked towards the north side of Tai Chi Hall.

……

"Come here, sit with me—"

The cold wind was blowing through people's clothes.

Maybe Li Yuan sensed someone behind him, Li Yuan patted the steps beside him lightly with his old hands, and sighed.

When Li Shimin walked to the main entrance of the Taiji Hall, he found his father Li Yuan sitting on the steps of the huge hall.

Looking at the silver-clad plain opposite the Taiji Palace, my eyes are full of confusion...

Li Shimin glanced at it, and the once mighty and majestic back was also a bit old.

Stepping forward slowly, he sat down without even sweeping the snowflakes off the steps with his sleeve robe.

It's just that Li Yuan tilted his head slightly, and gave a cold drink with some displeasure.

"I can't eat people and beasts, why sit so far away?"

Li Shimin's expression froze and he slowly approached.

Up to this point, the father and son were separated by two human bodies...

After Li Shimin moved, he turned his head and spoke.

"Father, why sit here for a long time, be careful of the wind and cold, why not go into the hall?"

Chengqing Hall has a stove that Tang Sufan sent before.

For a long time, the old servants in the palace have always been used to turning the coal fire up, and Li Shimin has long been used to wearing less underwear.

Now that I have been outside for a long time suddenly, my neck feels a little chilly.

"Thousands of people outside the city are screaming in the cold wind, why? You, the emperor, can't stand the cold?"

For Li Shimin's kind words, Li Yuan also didn't have a good face, and threw back the sneering words.

Li Shimin could only laugh along with him, and replied in a good way.

"Where, the son is just worried about the father."

"If I freeze this old bone to death, wouldn't it be just as you wish?"

Li Yuan sneered and sarcastically blocked Li Shimin's further words.

Li Shimin had no choice but to smile wryly to himself, and quietly tightened his clothes.

Li Yuan naturally ignored Li Shimin's little trick.

After all, there is also a stove installed in his hall, how could he not know?

Isn't Li Shimin's appearance in front of Li Yuan now the same as Li Chengqian's appearance in front of Li Shimin?

For a while, the father and son were speechless.

Quietly watching the wind and snow fluttering in the eyes——

I don't know if it was Li Yuan's lack of interest, or what, until after a while, Li Shimin's body was almost numb from the cold, and Li Yuan opened his mouth.

"Needless to say, you also know who I went out to meet today, right? Don't worry, it's just an old man surnamed Dou who retired from the government."

Regarding Li Yuan's words, Li Shimin also nodded with a dry smile.

Li Yuan naturally knew that it was impossible for his son to let him go out with such peace of mind.

The reason why he is willing to let go is that he already has enough confidence and foundation.

The father and son are nothing more than a tacit understanding.

Li Yuan also knew about talking with Pei Ji for a long time.

However, in three years, this court has changed drastically. Li Yuan thinks that this rebellious method is quite successful——

That's why this rebellious son dared to let himself out with confidence now.

"The old man Tang Sufan has also considered it. Yes, she is a good match for that girl Rou'er. She has an extraordinary heart and a modest reputation. If you use it properly, it will be your good help."

Seeing that he finally had a conversation, it was still about this kid, Li Shimin hurriedly continued.

"Yes, this kid's disposition is also forward-looking, and he is a little sloppy, but it doesn't hurt."

"How can you be better than you Li Shimin when it comes to being an asshole?"

All in all, Li Shimin is used to it.

This is much, much better than the countless swearing in the past three years.

For some reason, I always felt that my father went out for a trip. Although his attitude was sarcastic, he was willing to talk to him.

Could it be that the kid did some magical tricks?
The father and son were silent again, and the atmosphere was full of weirdness.

Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes were far away, as if he was telling a story about someone else's family.

asked—

"Back then, when you were seriously ill, you must have been plotted against and drank a poisonous bar?"

Li Shimin's eyebrows suddenly condensed like a slippery steep peak, and his face was filled with disbelief for a moment.

"Father...how did Emperor Father know?"

Under Li Shimin's astonished gaze, Li Yuan cast his eyes down, and he knew it, so he didn't speak.

Li Shimin immediately reacted.

Most likely that kid told Father the Emperor...

After all, although the boy's unpredictable ability is surprising, there is a reason for it.

That's fine, my father can believe it through the mouth of others.

From my own mouth, it is too late to believe it or not.

Li Yuan's old eyes hid a touch of grayness, and said as if nothing happened.

"Why didn't you say it back then?"

Li Shimin glanced at Li Yuan beside him with worries in his eyes, finally sighed deeply, and said slowly.

"Father, it's not a secret that my son and... and Prince Yin fought against each other back then."

"Back then, the Crown Prince's Mansion led Taiwei Chen Zhu to entertain his son in the Renshou Palace. After the trick was exposed, the son was lucky to survive."

"Back then, the Crown Prince's Mansion was very powerful in Chang'an, and the five families in Guanzhong did their best, and everyone responded to it, but the Prince Qin's Mansion was first established..."

"That year, Guanyin's maidservant had just given birth to Changle, and that winter, because of the murder of her servant, she had a sudden attack of gas and almost died..."

"I know it myself, so what if I announce it?"

"Prince Yin has his own reasons for thieves calling for catching thieves. If he broke his face in that year, at that time, Gao Ming was only a toddler, Qingque was still in his infancy, and Changle had just been born—"

"This time it's my son, what about next time? So, my son has no choice but to forbear—"

"Until now, even if I said it, the world would just laugh at me for evasive words, heh, what's the point..."

Li Shimin smiled desolately, and the long sentence brought back too many things from that year.

The cold wind was like a stern, blowing the entire Tai Chi Hall into an unchanging snow white.

The figures of the father and son became desolate and desolate.

This is also the emperor's house, the heights are extremely cold, and the cold is also penetrating into the bones of the heart...

After Li Shimin's words, no one mentioned anything else, and the two of them tacitly agreed.

Li Yuan sighed deeply, looking at the snowflakes that suddenly fell all over the sky, the scorching white air flowed impressively.

There was a hint of self-mockery in the gray old eyes.

It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous—
