Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 967 King and minister, father and son
His Majesty Li Er was wearing a royal blue brocade robe, with a warm smile on his square face and his hands behind his back, but when he saw Li Ke and Fang Jun's lack of manners, his steps stopped and the smile on his face froze.

Li Ke and Fang Jun froze for a moment, recovered their senses and hurriedly got up, hurriedly got off the ground to put on their shoes, and saluted together: "My son (my minister) has seen my father (Your Majesty)."

His Majesty Li Er snorted, his face was hesitant, and he said sullenly: "A prince, a marquis, is so unremarkable and uneducated, it is simply out of place! Wouldn't it be ridiculous to be caught by outsiders?"

He doesn't particularly care about rules, he still has to behave in his own home in private, isn't he tired?He just got angry when he saw Fang Jun's lazy look. His third son, Li Ke, was an outstanding man with a calm and courageous personality. After being abducted by Fang Jun, he went astray...

Fang Jun didn't know that he was "shot while lying down", and said with a playful smile: "Your Majesty, you are not an outsider, so you don't think you will go around criticizing your subjects?"

As a result, His Majesty Li Er stretched his leg and kicked it.

Li Ke's eyelids twitched, and he said in his heart, Fang Jun, you really dare to say anything, don't you know that when this king sees his father, he is like a mouse seeing a cat, his scalp is numb and his legs are weak?
The maids and servants who came at will stayed outside the door, and His Majesty Li Er sat on the kang with his hands behind his back, Shi Shiran.

Naturally, Li Ke would not complain why the servants in the mansion didn't inform him, presumably he was stopped by his father.Quickly ordered the maid to serve tea, and added some delicate snacks.

His Majesty Li Er sat down and asked: "Just now I heard you laughing outside the door, what are you talking about?"

Li Ke was just about to reply, but Fang Jun rushed to say: "Your Majesty, I impeach His Highness King Wu."

Li Ke looked bewildered, this kid actually wants to sue himself?
His Majesty Li Er wondered, "Impeach him for what?"

Fang Jun said solemnly: "The impeachment of His Highness King Wu's nonsense, just saying that I have talent but no virtue, has greatly damaged the reputation of I, and caused a deep blow to the reputation of I, please pursue his slander. crime, and compensation for the loss of reputation of Wei Chen."

Li Ke seemed to have seen a ghost, his mouth was open enough to fit a fist in.

You bastard, just now you were good to me and my brothers, and you turned around and put eye drops on this king?
His Majesty Li Er was a little stunned, paused, and laughed loudly: "Isn't that just calling you immoral?"

Fang Jun said angrily: "That's right! How can you scold others at will, a majestic prince? Impeaching King Wu again will damage the royal dignity."

Li Ke can't wait to jump up and kick this guy to death!
Unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er laughed loudly, and gave Li Ke a thumbs-up: "Ke'er said well, and it is exactly what I want. This is called a hero who sees the same thing!"

Seeing the narrow smile on His Majesty Li Er's gentle face, Li Ke was a little lost, but a warm feeling gradually rose in his heart.

Father... how long has it been since he talked to him so affectionately?

He also understood the intention of Fang Jun's nonsense, and it was this seemingly nonsense way to eliminate the barrier between them.Laughing and making trouble, the many barriers between the monarch and his ministers, and between father and son seem to disappear in an instant.

Li Ke's eyes were a little hot, and he said with a shy smile, "This person speaks out loud, he often boasts that he has both ability and political integrity, and he is not afraid to laugh off the teeth of the world."

His Majesty Li Er smiled and waved at Fang Jun: "You go back first, I have something to say to King Wu."

"promise."

Fang Jun didn't have any dissatisfaction, knowing that the father and son were going to have a heart-to-heart talk, he secretly gave Li Ke a "reassuring" look, and withdrew.

There are only father and son left in the flower hall.

His Majesty Li Er waved: "Come and sit."

When Li Ke sat across from him, His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "Is there fine wine in the mansion?"

Li Ke was a little apprehensive, not knowing what his father would say today, so he replied: "There are grapes from the Western Regions, and there are also high-quality wines that Fang Jun gave to my son, which one does my father like?"

"Fangfu fine wine?" This is the first-class wine on the market. His Majesty Li Er once drank it. It is very strong and mellow.

"No, it is a kind of miscellaneous grain wine carefully brewed by Fang Jun with five kinds of grains: soybean, rice, glutinous rice, buckwheat, and corn. It is called 'Wuliang Yuye'."

Li Ke said respectfully.

"Oh? I haven't heard of it, give it a taste." His Majesty Li Er ordered, and then said angrily: "This stick! Don't you know how to honor me if you have good things? Fortunately, I married my daughter to him. You are really a white-eyed wolf! "

"Father, calm down. It's not that Fang Jun doesn't know how to be filial. This wine was brewed by Fang Jun when he was in the south of the Yangtze River. He ordered the craftsmen in his family to brew it. Fang Jun didn't intervene in the whole process, so how dare he give it to Father? drink?"

Li Ke is a kind person, even though Fang Jun "sue him a lawsuit" just now, he still took the initiative to defend Fang Jun.

His Majesty Li Er was still upset: "Then dare to give you a drink? You are also a prince, and he still can't run away except for problems."

Li Ke was speechless.

The prince and the emperor have different ranks and completely different natures, okay?
Even if there was something wrong with the wine, as long as Li Ke didn't die, there would be no major problem, but even if the emperor's stomach was ruined for a few days because of drinking this wine, it would be a serious crime, and a big meal would be light. Anyone who finds fault will be charged with a crime...

The consequences were simply unimaginable.

How bad is Fang Jun's brain? Dare to take the new wine brewed by people and drink it for you?
After a while, the maid walked quickly with a porcelain altar in her hand, followed by several servants from Prince Wu's residence, who prepared some ready-made snacks.Remove the tea set from the tea table, put the side dishes on, and pour the crystal white wine from the jug into a silver jug.

The maid held the jug in her slender hand and filled the wine glasses for the father and son.

His Majesty Li Er picked up the wine glass, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, took a sip lightly, clicked his mouth, the wine was full of fragrance and lingering aftertaste.

Can't help but praise: "Fang Jun's crooked methods are indeed unmatched in the world. I'm afraid those old winemakers who have been brewing wine for a lifetime will not be able to brew wine with such a taste."

Li Ke felt that this was difficult to answer, because he couldn't figure out whether his father's words were to praise Fang Jun's talent, or to harm Fang Jun's lack of business, or a combination of both...

It was a bit chilly for a while.

There seems to be an invisible and intangible barrier between father and son, neither alien nor close.

After a long time, His Majesty Li Er took a sip of his drink, sighed and said, "Ke'er, do you still blame your father?"

Li Ke was silent, holding the wine glass in his hand, a little dazed.

Resent it?

How could it be possible not to complain!
but……

After a moment of silence, Li Ke raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. The spicy wine cut his throat and intestines like a steel knife, and wherever he went, it was as hot as a knife on fire.After that unspeakable hotness, I feel relaxed and comfortable all over!
Li Ke said frankly: "I complained."

It's not "resentment", it's "resentment", the meaning is completely different.

His Majesty Li Er was noncommittal, took a mouthful of refreshing shredded bamboo shoots, chewed, and said slowly: "Let's listen."

The spirits seemed to have burned Li Ke's blood, endowing him with unprecedented courage. In front of his father, who had always been respected, loved, and feared, he put aside all timidity and cowardice, poured out his bitterness, and spoke freely.

"For a long time, I have been dissatisfied with the prince, Qingque, and all my brothers. From the beginning to the end, I think that I am the one who looks like my father the most! When it comes to talent and ability to govern the country, I think it is The most outstanding one among the many sons of the father! I wonder what the father thinks?"

His Majesty Li Er was silent and nodded slowly.

Indeed, the prince is cowardly and indecisive, Qingque is arrogant and arrogant, and the remaining son is even worse. Only the third son, Li Ke, is outstanding in everything, ranking first among all kings.That's why His Majesty Li Er made the comment on Li Ke that "Ying Guo is like himself".

His Majesty Li Er cannot deny this point, nor does he want to deny it.

Li Ke was shaken, and his handsome face was blushed by the alcohol: "So this minister is not convinced, is it because this minister is not a legitimate son, is it because this minister has the blood of the former Sui Dynasty, so he not only wants to stay away from the throne, Even stay away from the capital, go to Anzhou and other smoky and impoverished places to die, and never see father, mother, concubine, brothers, sisters, relatives and friends again in this life? It's not fair!"

After speaking, the tone gradually became agitated and emotional.
