I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 288 Your Majesty They Are Poor enough
Chapter 280 Five

"If there is a chance, I really want to see what kind of person this Wang Zi'an is?"

Li Yuan smiled self-deprecatingly, but then raised his head, his eyes were extraordinarily bright.

"You have also seen that I am now sitting in the city of sorrow and sorrow, and I am already imprisoned, and I have been completely cut off from the outside world. I don't know if Brother Pei is willing to share with me."

Li Yuan got up to pour tea, and held it in front of the old monk named Pei himself.The old monk clasped his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice, and then reached out to take the teacup.

"On the border, the fighting on the Tuyuhun side is tense, and the Turkic army is pressing down on the border, and the situation is tense. On the Tongguan side, Li You and Li Hongtong's rebels are confronting Hejian County King. The two sides have fought several times, each winning and losing. Here—the current His Majesty is already awake, the heads of the Wang family and the Li family have passed away..."

After the old monk named Pei finished speaking, there was a rare wave of fluctuation in his eyes.

"All promising dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such. Your Majesty, let go. You are destined to be the founding king of the country, the supreme emperor with a transcendent status, and all merits and demerits will be judged by future generations. Why bother Stick to it any longer?"

Li Yuan was startled when he heard the words, and stared at the old monk for a long time, but the old monk just lowered his eyelids and folded his palms together in silence.Li Yuan stood up, walked out of the window, and looked at the stars in the sky.

"Brother Pei, do you know the eagles in the sky? When they are young, they flap their wings for nine days and look at the world. When they are old and unable to soar, they will break their wings and hit their heads against the cliffs to die."

Li Yuan looked at the old monk Pei with a smile on his lips.

"Brother Pei knows me, don't you want me to look like an old prisoner, trapped to death in the deep palace?"

The old monk was silent.

"You and I have known each other for more than thirty years, and now the old man is at the end of his rope and is getting old. I just want to ask brother Pei, would you like to pass on a message for the old man because of the old relationship?"

……

"Zian, you have set a precedent for us foreign ministers of the Tang Dynasty to leave the palace ban. This kind of favor is the only one in the shoe shit. Tsk tsk makes me a little envious."

Li Ke leaned loosely on the door frame, with gossip written all over his face.During the imperial confinement, why did foreign ministers stay overnight?Even the prince has to move out when he is 12 years old. This Wang Zi'an has set a precedent.He really wanted to know how Wang Zi'an felt living in the palace for the first time.

Wang Zi'an said angrily while wiping his face with a towel.

"Stop making sarcastic remarks to me here, is it still favor? Look at your palace, the terrain is low-lying. It hasn't rained for a long time, and it's still humid and hot. It's okay for the room to be small, but the doors and windows are still very open. Small, like a pigeon cage. Fortunately, it is late autumn, otherwise if you stay here for one night, you will be eaten by mosquitoes if you don't cover your body with prickly heat. To be honest, your majesty and the others live here every day, it is really aggrieved and pitiful of……"

Wang Zi'an is really not used to living here, this is not a place where people live, not to mention the star hotel in his previous life, even his cave dwelling in Gaolaozhuang is not as good.It’s not that Wang Zi’an was picking on faults. In fact, before the Daming Palace was built in the Tang Dynasty, the conditions in the palace were not very good, especially the two ceremonial halls where Li Shimin lived. When there is a flood, when it is serious, the water in the palace can be one foot deep to hide.What's worse is that Li Shimin's money has been tight in recent years, many houses have not been repaired, and some of them even leaked...

Li Ke was well aware of these situations, and Li Ke couldn't help laughing when he heard Wang Zi'an's unceremonious complaints here.

"You really don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings. You know, the favor you have now is something no one can ask for..."

Wang Zi'an rolled his eyes at him and joked.

"I give up my family and career to treat your old Li's family, so I have to be grateful, right?"

"Yes, yes, you are right. I came here today to accompany you to get the medicine. Have you had breakfast? We will leave immediately after eating. The emperor is still waiting to use it."

Li Ke knew Wang Zi'an's temper, so he ignored him and changed the subject directly.Wang Zi'an threw the towel onto the basin stand, and the waiter naturally took it over and carried it down.

"Let's go, finish things early and be quiet—"

These days, he was so busy that he couldn't even practice normally. For a martial idiot, it was simply a kind of torment.

There is also this dilapidated imperial palace, not to mention the dilapidated place, the rules are very strict, even if you get up in the middle of the night to pee, you have to have a guard come over to take a look, one night is enough.

After leaving the palace, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but let out a deep breath.

It's better outside, at least it's not so depressing.

"Which one should we go to see?"

Li Ke looked at Wang Zi'an.Wang Zi'an frowned.

"Which one is closest?"

Although several Patriarchs promised to go to their own medicine storehouses, Wang Zi'an also wanted to take the opportunity to search for some strange medicines that he had never found in his previous life, but he didn't want to just go there one by one.To be honest, after the floods in Henan Road and Huainan Road, he really doesn't have any good feelings for these aristocratic families now, it's better not to deal with them if he can.

"Taiyuan Wang's family and Longxi Li's family are both in Chongyifang, so they are not far away, but—it seems inappropriate to go at this time of year?"

Hearing this, Li Ke couldn't help hesitating.

"what happened?"

Wang Zi'an couldn't help raising his brows, and asked a little strangely.

"Yesterday, the Patriarch of the Wang Family, Wang Ze, died suddenly. Early this morning, Duke Cheng De of the Li Family in Longxi also went..."

Hearing this, Wang Zi'an couldn't help being taken aback, did they all die so quickly?
When we saw each other yesterday morning, everyone was still alive and kicking, and they all died after not seeing each other all night?He looked at Li Ke strangely.

"Is this what His Majesty meant?"

There is no room for him not to suspect that Li Shimin woke up on the front foot, and the two patriarchs died on the back foot. It is difficult for you not to think about it.Li Ke shook his head imperceptibly when he heard the words.

"Is this kind of nonsense allowed?"

After Li Ke finished speaking, he subconsciously looked around and saw that there was no one, so he lowered his voice and said.

"This is not like the method of the father. I guess, it is most likely a means for them to protect themselves. Now that their patriarch is newly mourned, if the father takes action against them again, under the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox, I am afraid that it will cause criticism from the nobles all over the world..."

Wang Zi'an frowned, and wanted Li Ke to choose a random place first.I saw a simple and exquisitely carved carriage driving towards me.Not far in front of the two, the carriage stopped briskly, and a tall young man jumped out of the carriage and walked towards Wang Zi'an and the two.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, Prince Wang, please stay safe—"

The tall young man bowed his hands to the two of them and laughed loudly.

"When did my cousin come back?"

When Li Ke saw the person coming, he hurried forward to meet him, grabbed the person's arm, and asked kindly.

PS: I just found out today that in the previous Chapter 270, there were a few people whose names were mistaken, and I just changed them, sweat!apologies to everyone
