But this public is public, private is private, no matter how fierce the fight looks on the surface, but it is absolutely unambiguous when it is time to help.
After Xuanwu Gate, Wang Gui was arrested and imprisoned.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui suggested to Li Shimin, saying that both Wang Gui and Wei Zheng are great talents.
Now that the world has been settled, you are already the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so all the enmity between Qin Wangfu and the prince built should be overturned.
Only in this way can Datang settle down more quickly.
Ever since, it was precisely because of serious consideration of their two suggestions that Li Shimin later made the decision to pardon the world and stop all ties to Jiancheng and Yuanji.
So, the reason for this is so deep, even if Feng Deyi broke his head, he would never have thought of it.
After the matter was settled, Li Shimin looked at Li Qiu with a smile.
"Li Qiu, I was at the execution ground in Chang'an East City that day."
"What are those two poems you said to the queen?"
"I heard what the Queen said at the time, and thought it was very good."
"But after a long time, I have somewhat forgotten."
Li Qiu got up hurriedly, thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty is referring to: only to solve the battlefield and die for the country, why return the shrouded body of horse leather. Is this a poem?"
"A doggerel that the boy said casually, should not be in the ear of Your Majesty."
After hearing this poem, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up at the same time.
And Li Shimin laughed even more, "If it's really like what you say, people in the world will not be able to write poems anymore."
"You don't have to be humble."
"As for me, I am the emperor on horseback, and I have led troops to fight for decades."
"This line of yours sounds like it's uplifting, it strengthens my Tang army, and it has the heroic integrity of my Tang soldiers."
"I just don't know what the complete poem is like?"
Li Qiu scratched his head with a smile, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the boy only thought of these two sentences at that time."
"There is no whole poem..."
At this time, Changsun Wuji who was beside him shook his head with a smile and scolded, "You brat."
"You wrote this poem."
"Now Your Majesty asks you, even if there was only that half sentence before, wouldn't it be good if you complete it now?"
Li Qiu felt this grievance at this time: I said it as if I didn't want to make a whole poem to show off.
But can't I remember?
When I got there, I vaguely said this sentence.
But as for the name of this poem, who wrote it, and the complete other lines, I really don't know.
"Master eldest grandson, let's write a poem, sometimes it's really beyond the control of a kid."
"Some of the boy's poems are all accidental. When you don't feel it, you can't complete it..."
At this moment, Fang Xuanling said quietly, "Back then, I could hold the bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot Sirius."
"I don't know how many soldiers in the army praised it."
"It seems that many people have asked you, and you also said that there is only one sentence."
"But not long after, Li Jing printed his name on that poem."
Du Ruhui sighed at this moment, "This Li Jing, every time I come to my military headquarters, except to discuss the military situation, I either don't speak, and sing this poem when I speak."
"The pride and complacency make people look like they only dare to be angry but dare not speak up."
After making some jokes about Li Qiu again, today's meeting ended.
But before Li Qiu left, Li Shimin called him to stop.
He said that the queen wanted to see him, and that he himself wanted to eat Li Qiu's dishes, so he asked Li Qiu to cook two dishes while he was in a good mood today.
Afterwards, Li Qiu followed Li Shimin to the Lizheng Hall.
After seeing Empress Changsun's complexion obviously improved a lot, Li Qiu was also really happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Li Qiu pays homage to the empress."
"I am very happy to see that the empress's phoenix body is getting better and better."
As for the eldest grandson queen at this time, she was in a better mood after seeing the son she had always wanted to see but hadn't seen.
"Li Qiu, you child has a heart too."
"Your Majesty, I have mentioned it several times, saying that I am greedy for the dishes you used to cook."
"It just so happens that there are no matter ingredients, seasonings, or even shooting Sirius in this palace, so you can try a few dishes for His Majesty."
"What about Bengong, I'll help you."
Chapter 125 Can't You Pay Attention To The Impact?
Hearing that Empress Changsun wants to help her cook?
Li Qiu naturally shook his head like a rattle, saying that he could do it himself, and he never dared to bother the empress's body.
Seeing his insistence, Empress Changsun could only smile and nod in agreement, and then quietly stood not far from him.
While watching him busy, ask him some things in his life these days.
"Li Qiu, where do you live now?"
Li Qiu smiled, "Go back to your mother, the boy still lives in the old house."
Hearing this, Empress Changsun couldn't help frowning, "Huh?"
"I heard from the Palace that His Majesty has rewarded you with many fiefdoms, restaurants, and an official residence in Furong Garden a while ago?"
"Why do you still live in the old and dilapidated old house in the west of the city?"
"Also, you and your junior sister are the only two in your family now?"
Li Qiu, who was busy, didn't have time to think too much, and for some reason, he always had an incomparably cordial feeling towards Empress Changsun, so he told the truth.
"Well, there are only me and my junior sister in my family."
"Junior sister is introverted, basically she just stays bored in her own yard, practicing exercises all day long, and never meets outsiders."
"Besides the two of us, there is also a carriage that Mr. Ying lent me, and some guards."
"There is no one else."
"As for the Furong Garden, it's really too big and empty for the boy."
"It's not as comfortable as living in the old house. After all these years, I've gotten used to it."
"There's no rush to move there."
Having said this, Li Qiu scratched his head again in embarrassment.
"Another main reason is that during the time when the former minister disappeared, the old housekeeper Wang Zhong only thought that I was gone."
"So I sold the property and gave it to the poor children and the lonely parents of the fallen soldiers."
"The boy is in short supply now, and he really has no money to move."
Looking at Li Qiu's innocent and somewhat embarrassed smile, Empress Changsun felt that her nose was sore at that moment.
Tears rolled around twice and almost didn't fall.
I am a dignified queen, but my own son doesn't even have the money to move.
Children from other families can live happily and comfortably under the protection of their parents.
There are groups of maids, servants, and guards.
But what about Li Qiu?
Even if he has already become a general, Duke of the state, and second-rank official residence, so what?
Isn't it lonely, alone, and inseparable from each other!
Perhaps from Li Qiu's memory until now, there is only one word in his life, desolate.
In the past, no matter what, there was Wang Zhong who accompanied him from childhood to adulthood.
But now, even the old housekeeper Wang Zhong is gone.
Being a mother by yourself, not fulfilling your duties...
Seeing the red eyes of Empress Changsun, Li Qiu hastily saluted Empress Changsun.
"Your Majesty, this kitchen is really not suitable for you."
"The chili and pepper are too choking."
"Major, please stay away from the lampblack."
Hearing this, Empress Changsun nodded and walked out.
After about a stick of incense, Li Qiu cooked three dishes, one hot and sour soup.
It's finally done.
But this time, when Li Shimin and Empress Changsun invited him to eat together, Li Qiu didn't dare anymore.
Frightened and fearful, he resolutely resigned no matter what he said, and refused to have dinner with Li Shimin and the queen.
There was no other way, Li Shimin could only allow him to leave.
But right after Li Qiu left, Empress Changsun's tears flowed down her face.
Li Shimin also hurriedly persuaded, "Oh, maidservant Guanyin, I'm in a good mood today."
"We saw Qiu'er again, why are you still crying?"
At this time, Empress Changsun covered her mouth and shook her head, tears streaming down her face.
"Qiu'er told me that the Furong Garden is too big, and he is not used to living in it by himself now."
"Also, he has no money to move."
"Now Qiu'er's family has nothing but him and his junior sister."
"No maids, no servants, no guards."
"Even the carriage was donated by others and borrowed from him."
"After Qiu'er disappeared, I also went to his home to take a closer look."
"Everything is so simple."
"A table, chairs, a bed, some clothes, some pots and pans, and nothing else."
"They are all things that have been used for many years, so what's so good about them?"
"Originally, we thought that giving Qiu'er the title, official position, fiefdom, food town, and manor might be able to make up for Qiu'er."
"But until now, I suddenly realized that we were wrong, and we were wrong from the beginning."
"In Qiu'er's world, it has always been so lonely and desolate."
"A high-ranking official with a generous salary, an extremely personable official, unlimited scenery, etc., will not bring him any happiness."
"On the contrary, it will make him feel scared and panic."
"You saw Qiu'er's terrified appearance just now, Erlang."
"From childhood to adulthood, including now, he has always been a child without mother's love and protection!"
"In Qiu'er's world, there are people everywhere who can hurt him at any time."
"He didn't even know that he actually had an incompetent mother by his side..."
Hearing what Empress Changsun said, Li Shimin sighed deeply.
He is a very loving person, now seeing his own son showing such sincerity and fear, how can he not feel distressed and blame himself?
