I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 313 I am willing to die

As if he had expected it, Li Yuan didn't raise his eyelids when he looked at Li Shimin who was wearing a veiled hat and pushing the door in. He just pointed to the opposite side of him.

"sit--"

Li Shimin took off the veiled cap on his head, lifted his hem, and knelt down across from Li Yuan.Very self-consciously, he lifted the flagon, filled it for Li Yuan, then poured himself a glass, picked it up, drank it down, and then let out a heart-piercing cough.Li Yuan's long and narrow eyes flickered slightly, he picked up the wine glass in front of him, and played with it interestingly.

"It seems that your physical condition is not as good as the rumors outside..."

"Ayefa's eyesight is fine, my health is really bad, I'm about to die—"

Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan who was reclining on the couch, with a complex look on his face.Hearing Li Shimin's address, Li Yuan's eyes flickered, and there was a rare change in his eyes.He couldn't remember how long he hadn't heard the name Aye.

Li Yuan sat up a little bit and looked at Li Shimin with erratic eyes.The picture in front of me seemed a little familiar. His son was sitting in front of him, holding a wine glass and talking eloquently.That knowledge and talent comforted me, made me proud, and regarded him as the unicorn of the Li family.

When did father and son start to move farther and farther apart?
He was suddenly a little dazed, he didn't know since when, the father and son had gradually drifted apart, and even regarded them as enemies.He couldn't help but sighed, and a complicated and incomprehensible meaning flashed in his cloudy old eyes.Li Shimin turned a blind eye to Li Yuan's eyes, and raised the wine pot to fill Li Yuan and himself.

She cupped her hands together, bowed deeply to Li Yuan, and bowed her face.The hot liquor, like a pair of sharp knives, drilled down his throat and into his stomach, causing him a stabbing pain that was almost convulsive.The violent cough sounded again, and he felt a sweetness in his throat, and he was about to spit out a fishy liquid, which made him swallow it abruptly.Looking at the unwiped blood on the corner of his mouth, Li Yuan's eyes lit up for a moment, but then dimmed again. The expression on his face became very complicated, he didn't know whether it was relief or sadness.

"I wanted to drink three cups with Aye, but my body is really failing, so I can only have two cups—"

Li Shimin put down the wine glass in his hand with some regret, and there seemed to be a kind of crystal in his eyes.He lowered his head slightly, and when he raised his head again, his eyes had regained their clarity.

"My lifespan is over, and I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. This time, I'm here to bid farewell to Aye."

Li Shimin said, straightened his body, got up, and respectfully kowtowed three times to Li Yuan.

"The child can be what he is today, all thanks to Aye's past upbringing. The child has nothing to repay, but to thank you again. I only hope that in the next life, I can serve day and night to repay my great kindness——"

Li Yuan had no expression on his face, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, but most of the wine was spilled, and there were stains of wine dregs on his beard and skirt.

"In the afterlife—it doesn't matter if I don't see you..."

Li Yuan's tone was a bit lonely.Hearing this, Li Shimin trembled a bit, then sat up straight, his eyes became sharp and clear again.

"You come today, how are you going to deal with me? Leave me to help you preside over the overall situation, or give me a ride?"

Li Yuan put down his wine glass, pressed his slightly trembling hands on his knees, and looked oppressively at his son or enemy?
"Aye has worked so hard all his life, how can I have the heart to let a white-haired man send a black-haired man—"

Li Shimin kowtowed to Li Yuan respectfully.

"I came here to see Aye off—"

Li Yuan's eyes shrank suddenly, and he leaned forward a little.

"Don't you think it's the best choice for me to stay? Now that there are internal and external troubles, and only relying on Chengqian, how can he support the great Tang Dynasty that I took so hard to conquer?"

"I'm not willing to bother Aye, I've already made proper arrangements."

Li Shimin raised his head, looked at Li Yuan's cloudy eyes, and shook his head slightly.

"Aye, you are old, and there are often eye dropsy in the corners of your eyes—"

Li Yuan subconsciously closed the corners of his eyes, looked at the serious Li Shimin, suddenly patted his thigh, and laughed loudly.

"Okay, okay, okay, he is indeed a good son raised by me!"

Li Shimin's eyes drooped and he remained silent.Li Yuan's laughter gradually subsided, he picked up the wine glass and poured himself a glass, as if trying to savor the aftertaste, and slowly drank the wine in the glass.

"I can die as you wish, but I have two conditions—"

Li Shimin raised his head slowly, looked at Li Yuan with drooping eye bags and loose skin, with a respectful expression.

"Aye, please speak."

"One, after I go, the concubines in the palace who have no children will be allowed to go and stay, and those who have children will be raised by the court."

Mentioning the new children in the palace, Li Yuan's face showed a rare softness. Although he had never seen those palace ladies who were stuffed in by Li Shimin as human beings these years, those children, after all, had blood flowing from their bodies. of blood.

"Yes, I will treat him as my brother."

"Second, it's lonely underground, I only ask for one person to die for it!"

The corners of Li Yuan's mouth suddenly turned up, revealing a trace of vindictive pleasure.Li Shimin's eyes flickered for a moment, and then slowly lowered his eyelids, his voice was calm.

"Who?"

"Zhang Jieshu—"

As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, there was the sound of dishes falling from behind the palace.The back door was suddenly pushed open, and Zhang Jieshu staggered towards him.

"His Majesty--"

Zhang Jieshu let out a mournful cry.Li Yuan didn't look back, and Li Shimin didn't look up either. On this matter, the father and son seemed to have a tacit understanding.One didn't ask why, and one didn't explain.

"It's up to Aye to decide—"

Li Shimin's voice was a little cold, like the cool wind blowing in from outside the hall.

Hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help laughing.Zhang Jieshu slumped on the ground all of a sudden.

"So, I will bid farewell."

Li Shimin straightened his clothes, took two steps back, kowtowed respectfully to Li Yuan three times, then got up silently, turned around and left without even looking at Zhang Jieshu.

"Your Majesty—you are so cruel, you promised me—"

Zhang Jieshu, who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, saw Li Shimin turn around and wanted to leave, suddenly struggled from the ground, rolled and crawled to Li Shimin's feet, hugged Li Shimin's thigh with both hands, begging bitterly.Li Shimin's footsteps paused slightly, but he did not turn his head after all.

"I didn't treat you badly from the Zhang family—you are a smart woman, I don't want you to be confused—"

Hearing Zhang Jieshu's words, the hands holding Li Shimin's thighs suddenly dropped powerlessly.She can be desperate, but she can't ignore her elderly parents.She looked desperately at the man in front of her who had haunted her dreams countless times. Those once gentle and affectionate eyes were now so heartless and cold.
