After he had nothing to do, he ran to Li Su's house and talked about some topics about Princess Wencheng. Strictly speaking, Li Su and Li Daozong did not have a deep relationship, and Princess Wencheng's topic could almost be regarded as Li Daozong's family scandal. Li Su vaguely understood what Li Daozong asked for, but he remained silent and listened quietly to Li Daozong's story.

No matter how angry Li Daozong was in front of him was or how ugly the cursed, the helpless look in his eyes clearly told Li Su that this was a desperate father asking for help, it had nothing to do with his identity and title, no matter whether it was a family, country, or country, or just a simple father saving his daughter.

Even if it was a powerful prince, Li Shimin's marriage imperial edict was still like Wuzhishan to crush him to the ground. Li Daozong could not change the imperial edict and wanted to fulfill his daughter's wish. What else could he do besides asking for help?

"To be honest, Your Majesty gave Ping'er a marriage marriage, and the barbarian man who had a private life with Ping'er. I am not satisfied with both. My Ping'er is very cute and adorable. Other princesses and princesses have been domineering and arrogant since childhood. My Ping'er was born to be honest and quiet. She never cried in front of her parents, and never asked me for anything. After being wronged, she hid in the room and wiped her tears quietly. When she opened the door, she smiled brightly. She swallowed her own bitterness and smiled for others, afraid of causing trouble to others... Even she committed suicide by hanging herself on the beam, and did not cry when she woke up. She apologized to me one after another, saying that she had caused trouble to me."

As Li Daozong said, his eyes became redder and redder. He took a sip of wine. His cheeks soon burst into two red bloated bodies. He sighed: "How can I not teach such a daughter to the heart of my heart? Even if I do something to shame my family,... after all, it is my husband's daughter. If I can save her once, how can I save her for the rest of my life? I can't watch her die, it's better to think it's a debt owed in my previous life. She is suffering, and I will help her repay it."

"Your Majesty's order has been issued. Marriage with Tubo is the national policy of the Tang Dynasty. The national policy cannot be changed easily, not to mention that I cannot mislead state affairs with my own selfishness. However, I really don't want my daughter to marry far away, especially to marry an extraterritorial barbarian who she does not like. Ping'er looks weak and quiet, but she is very thoughtful. I can conclude that in less than two years of going to Tubo, she will die early. This daughter... is the treasure I have held in my hand since I was a child. How can I bear to see her die?"

After Li Daozong finished speaking, he was already crying like rain.

Li Su pursed her lips, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

For a father, he is unwilling to ruin his country by personal gain, and he is unwilling to see his daughter die early after marrying away. This contradictory mentality must be a struggle that life is worse than death.

Things seem to have entered a dead end. They don’t want to ruin the country or fulfill their daughter. How can there be a best in both worlds in the world? After all, there can only be a choice and a sacrifice. What’s more, Li Shimin’s imperial edict has been issued, and the whole country knows that if the order is violated, Li Daozong’s family will not be far from being unlucky. With Li Shimin’s strong and arbitrary personality, those who dare to challenge his authority usually have no good ending, and the same goes for his own brothers. Li Shimin has already done a good job of killing his own brothers. How can he be a cousin?

For a moment, Li Su felt a pain in her heart and deep self-blame.

Many years ago, by the river beach at the entrance of the village, he personally told Dongyang that if Your Majesty is reluctant to marry a daughter, why not choose a woman from the clan, and enthrone as a princess, and marry Tubo.

A prophecy comes true!

At that time, he did not expect that just one sentence of his own would have such bad consequences, which affected the fate of a couple of lovers and the joys and sorrows of a family.

These chain reactions that took several years were unexpected by Li Su.

Going back to its source, everything arises because of him.

The princesses breathed a sigh of relief. There was no need to marry far away. However, should the royal family be damned? Who should take on this responsibility that concerns the stability of the country?

Deep self-blame hit his heart. Looking at Li Daozong who was crying in front of him, Li Su felt that he was very bad. He developed a deep disgust for himself.

I have always claimed to be a down-to-earth life, live clearly, and am complacent about my own nature and are indifferent to the world. Therefore, I can stand outside and smile and watch the world, fighting for fame and fortune. I always think that I am not a good person or a bad person. I always tell myself repeatedly when I reflect on myself that I am at least a harmless person, and I have no intention of harming others. Of course, I am also prepared to be harmed by others.

Until today, at this moment, Li Su suddenly realized that people in the world cannot do anything else. The monks in the temple are all concerned about which donor gives too little money for indulgence and oil. If you are not sincere in respect of the Buddha, the Buddha will not bless you. What is the right to stand outside the world, as a completely worldly person? What you have said and done will eventually affect and hurt others inadvertently.

"Healthless"? What qualifications are there to comment on yourself like this?

Li Daozong didn't know the self-blame in Li Su's heart at this moment, and she still wiped her tears: "The debts of children are the debts of parents. I will never ask for others in my life. I just want to take them with a sword. I want to replace my daughter like this, but what can I do? The imperial edict has been issued, and the road has been completed. I dare not rebel against the edict and am unwilling to obey the edict. I am really... desperate!"

After sniffing hard, Li Daozong looked at Li Su, his eyes full of begging.

"Nephew Zizheng, I have known your reputation many years ago. You are a capable and capable person. From the day I knew you, you can do anything you encounter and anything your Majesty has given you. From offering advice to Xue Yantuo's grace, to the thunder of the battle to recover Songzhou, to thousands of heroes defending Xizhou to the suppression of the people's chaos in Jinyang, I have heard of these things. Although I am older than you, I have to say that you are the only heroic figure I have seen in my life. I deserve the words "admiration". When I was desperate, I thought of you. So...Nephew Zizheng, I asked you to help me and help my daughter overcome this disaster, can I?"

Li Su lowered his head and was silent. Li Daozong was not in a hurry, and his expectant eyes kept staring at his face.

Time passed slowly. I don’t know how long it took, Li Su suddenly raised his head, looked directly at Li Daozong, and said, “Uncle Li, I would like to ask, why did you think of me first?”

"I just said..."

Li Su interrupted him and smiled and said, "Forgive the boy, he is rude, that's not a reason. The boy wants to know the real reason."

Li Daozong's face stagnated, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "Okay, actually, the thing I heard about you the most was the relationship between you and Princess Dongyang. His Majesty was determined to bet on Princess Dongyang to you, but made up his mind to give her to the Gao family, and quickly issued an order to marry her daughter from the Xu family in Jingyang County to you and break them up... It is said that the relationship between you and Princess Dongyang can only end here, but later, the Gao family and Princess Dongyang were inexplicably haunted, and the so-called "silent soldiers crossing the border" everywhere in the court and the country said that the Gao family planted evil causes and was about to come to revenge, and you naturally know more about the subsequent events. The Gao family submitted a memorial to request a break-up, and Your Majesty took the opportunity to take back his life. Princess Dongyang became a monk and became a Taoist, never married for life, and vowed to pray for blessings and self-cultivation for the Tang Dynasty and the Emperor..."

If he glanced at Li Su with a deep impression, Li Daozong said: "Since Your Majesty opposes your marriage with Dongyang, unlucky things, bizarre things, one after another, everything has causes and consequences, no flaws, and no one pursues it deep, but I was more careful at that time, 'evil causes and evil consequences', 'the transit of the Yin soldiers', penetrating these bizarre appearances, I only look at the final result of the matter, what is the result? Haha, the result is that Princess Dongyang has changed her identity and still lives in Taiping Village, only one or two miles away from you, Li County Marquis, can be said to be together day and night, and Your Majesty and the Gao family finally have steps to go down, and no one pays attention to the court officials and the people. Except for the fact that you and Princess Dongyang have not been married properly, you and Dongyang have actually become undisclosed couples. Going back, isn't this exactly what you and Princess Dongyang wanted at the beginning?"

Li Su's eyelids twitched, and she still kept smiling and said nothing.

Li Daozong looked at him, but his eyes were filled with admiration: "Zizheng, a wise man will not say secret words. Since he has been put on the clothes, he will be meaningless to cover up. If you say that setting up this chain of things has nothing to do with you, I will not believe you if I beat you to death. This is also the reason why I beg you today. Looking at the world, if I want to be a jade pendant and protect her life, you can only help this in the world."

Li Su's face looked a little ugly, it doesn't matter if he says something, but what Li Su is worried about now is that even the outsider Li Daozong has seen through it, so Li Shimin...

Li Daozong seemed to see Li Su's concern and couldn't help but smile: "Is he worried that Your Majesty also saw the plan you set up back then?"

Li Su glanced at him, his lips stammered a few times, but he still didn't make a sound.

Li Daozong smiled and said, "I can tell you the truth. Even I saw it. Do you think Your Majesty is more likely to fool you than me? After the incident, Your Majesty came to his senses. In fact, those of us who have reached a high position and hold the authority of the world respect the heaven and earth in front of their subjects, and believe everything. But I tell you, the ones we people actually believe the most are ghosts and gods! Power is caused by ourselves, stolen, and snatched by one sword. What does it have to do with ghosts and gods? But you must have a posture outside and say that you cannot give people a arrogant attitude of not believing in ghosts and gods. So your so-called evil causes and consequences, and the ghost soldiers who pass through the border are really scared at first, but then you will feel absurd. Once you don't believe in these, it is too simple to find doubts."

"Nephew Zizheng, you underestimate Your Majesty's wisdom and underestimate Your Majesty's mind. The three words "Tian Khan" are not random words. Without the sea-like demeanor, how can you be entitled to be praised by Wanbang? After the incident, if Your Majesty wants to be serious, you will probably be cut off with one knife for the crime of deceiving the king. But now you are living well, Your Majesty has never mentioned this matter again, and your favor to you remains the same. It means that Your Majesty has long stopped ignoring you. You were less than twenty years old at that time. Your Majesty's love is a prank by a child, and it will be over. So Zizheng, you don't have to worry about Your Majesty's settlement with you. The accounts that should be settled many years ago."

Li Su smiled bitterly and said, "But now, Uncle Li, you asked the kid to do something to deceive the king again. Do you think the kid dares to do it?"

Li Daozong looked at him and said, "When did I say I want you to deceive the king? I just hope that you will persuade Your Majesty to take back his life. If you cannot take it back, you should also think of a step that both the king and the minister are willing to go down, make a complete move of this matter and save my daughter from the sea of ​​suffering. Zizheng, I know that it is difficult to solve this matter, but I can only ask you."

Li Su's face became more bitter and he rubbed his face hard, and sighed: "Those ten big boxes... are really not cheap!"

Li Daozong smiled and said, "I have no close relationship with you in the past few years, so I have to ask around and consider your preferences. The old killers in Chang'an City all said that you like money the most, so I just wanted to be more straightforward and use money to knock on your door. You... shouldn't be surprised, right?"

Li Su's smile became even bitterer: "Not strange, of course not strange. If it's just for free and you don't want anything after giving it, that would be even better, is that OK?"

Li Daozong's smile was still bright: "No."

Li Su murmured in disbelief: "It turns out that there is no free lunch in the world, and no free boxes..."

Li Daozong looked at him earnestly and said, "Not talking about money and common things, Zi Zheng's nephew, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and he also accumulates blessings for himself. Is this a reason okay? No matter what, I would like to ask Zi Zheng's nephew to help me. Ping'er is in her youth, and I really can't bear to see her die and die."

Li Su looked at him and said, "If the result of this matter has changed, she may marry the prince of that barbaric country in the future, would you also be willing?"

"Of course I don't want to! But that's the funeral. I just want to solve the situation in front of me. The matter of marriage between Tubo is irreversible, but I hope the woman sent to Tubo is not my daughter."

Li Su sighed: "The imperial edict has been issued and the princess has been sealed. In two days, Lu Dongzan and others will escort the princess on the road. How easy is it to ask His Majesty to recover the imperial edict at this time? If it is not handled properly, it is possible to lead a war between the two countries. Uncle Li, your problem is too big. You really can't do it and you can't bear the consequences."

Li Daozong's expectant expression suddenly became very disappointed, and he looked at him in a daze: "Even you don't want to help me?"

Li Su sighed: "It's not that I don't want to, Uncle Li, I really want to help you. This is not hypocritical and politeness, but the truth. I do my best to help anything that is not difficult. After all, Dongyang and I were also suffering from love, and she and I suffered a lot of pain and torture. With the heart, I also hope that lovers in the world can get married. But... it's too difficult. In two days, I will completely turn a certain thing around. This matter... I really can't do it. Others say I'm smart, but I know that I'm only a little clever at best, and I can't get on the table. If I accept this rashly but don't do it well, the bad thing is the destiny of the country. The boy really dares not do it."

Li Daozong hunched his back weakly and stared at the table with a dull look. After a long time, he took a sip of the cup. He choked too quickly, and blushed and coughed for a while, and suddenly he lay on the table and cried loudly.

"My poor daughter..."

Li Daozong was drunk and left.

Before leaving, Li Su wanted to return the ten boxes to him. Li Daozong insisted not to accept it. He was drunk and was already confused. How could he care about these external things?

Li Su helped Li Daozong get onto the carriage with the staggering carriage. When the carriage walked away, Li Su was still standing at the door and was still immersed intently, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Daozheng walked out from behind, squinted his eyes and looked at the direction of the carriage leaving, and smiled: "The first time I saw the prince was not very particular. Others were so drunk like that, haha."

Li Su turned her head and looked at her father thoughtfully, "Dad, if one day the child is in danger, will you save me?"

Li Daozheng narrowed his eyes vigilantly: "What's wrong? You're causing trouble again? Well... wait, I can't kill you with family rules!"

Li Su hurriedly grabbed him and smiled, "The child hasn't gone out much recently. What trouble can he cause? It's just a chat. Can't we father and son chat a little while if we have nothing to do?"

Li Daozheng looked at him suspiciously: "Just chatting, really didn't cause trouble?"

"I really didn't cause trouble, Dad, what do you think of the child? Do you think I'm a troublemaker?" Li Su said dissatisfied.

Speaking of this, he turned on the old tent and Li Daozheng was furious: "Do you think you are not a troublemaker? I patted my chest and asked, saying my conscience, how many troubles have you caused outside in the past few years! I have the heart to destroy my relatives for justice!"

Li Su scratched her head and thought, it was really...

With a look of embarrassment, Li Su quickly changed the subject: "Dad, tell me, if the child is in danger, will you save me at all costs?"

Li Daozheng snorted and said, "Of course I have to save my son, my seed."

Li Su blinked: "What if this danger is huge? It's so big that human resources cannot solve it, no matter how hard it is to save it, it will be destined to be futile. Are you still going to save it?"

Li Daozheng sighed, "No matter how difficult it is, you have to save it. Even if there is no result, you may even lose your life. You still have to save it. His son watched him land and watch him grow up. From childhood to adulthood, he would have to be happy for half a day. When he thought that the blood in his bones was flowing from his flesh and blood, he looked at him as if he had seen his other life. No matter how big the danger is, he would have to save it. It is another matter whether he could save it. How could he watch his other life be lost? "

Li Su pursed her lips, but her eyes turned red inexplicably.

"Don't look at you, you are awakening more than anyone else now, but many things in the world cannot be understood by awakening. For example, if you don't understand your parents' hearts, you can't understand them without being a father. You don't understand why your children have a little bit of skin. Parents feel that it hurts like their hearts, because children are their second life, and they are even more important than their own life."

Looking at Li Daozheng's side face in a daze, Li Su gradually realized that under the dull and honest appearance of this old man actually had a passionate and heroic feeling like a volcano. However, after being wiped out by the sword of the years, the volcano was already silent, and the hot and blazing magma was still slapped and rolling in the abdomen of the mountain. However, except for himself, others could no longer see him.

The blood was still not cold, and the chest was still hot, it was just hidden in the deepest part.

How long has it been since I had seen my father's eyebrows and eyes so closely? At this moment, looking at the wrinkles on Li Dao's face, Li Su suddenly felt strange. A few years ago, those wrinkles did not seem to exist. When did they crawl on my father's face?

"Dad, you're white." Li Suxian stared at Li Dao's temples like a new big star.

Li Daozheng was stunned, stroked his temples, and smiled and said, "I have it a few years ago."

"Dad, I helped you pull it out."

"Get out of here, the more white you pull, what do you know? I'm so old, why are you going to have a few more whites?" Li Daozheng cursed with a smile.

Li Su smiled and lowered her head, her voice becoming a little strange: "Dad, stop growing white hair anymore, it's not good-looking."

Li Daozheng laughed: "I'll say stupid things again. Can I grow old and not grow old?

Li Su still lowered her head and was laughing: "Yes, it's really stupid."

Half lying in the room, Xu Mingzhu added water to the copper pot to the stove while watching Li Su frequently.

Li Su was a little strange today. After chatting with Ah Weng outside his gate in the morning, he became very silent when he returned to the backyard, with a blank expression on his face and a little red eyes.

Xu Mingzhu rarely sees Li Su like this. In the past, no matter whether it was peace or danger, Li Su always looked lazy, as if nothing was worthy of his eyes, and he could easily solve it with action. But today...

The couple in the room had a rare silence. Li Su stared at the red tongues on the stove and was stunned. Xu Mingzhu sat quietly aside, glanced at him from time to time with worried eyes.

After a while, Xu Mingzhu finally couldn't help but say, "Husband, do you... have something to worry about?"

Li Su came back to her senses, turned her head and looked at her and smiled, saying, "I can't tell you what I'm worried about, I just feel a little emotional."

"What are you feeling about?"

"I feel sorry for my parents in the world..." Li Su sighed for a long time, not knowing what he thought of, and his expression became a little sad.

"Pity the heart of parents in the world..." Xu Mingzhu's almond eyes lit up and she smiled: "My husband is worthy of being a talented man, and he will be able to express it. If this sentence is said well, the heart of parents in the world can only be explained by the word "poor".

Li Su looked up at Fangliang and sighed: "It's not just his own parents, but other people's parents are the same. For the sake of their children, they can ignore their face, not care about their identity, and not care about dignity..."

Xu Mingzhu said carefully: "What my husband said is the one who came to our family today... King of Jiangxia?"

Li Su refused to answer and turned her head to look at her: "Mingzhu, there is one thing, this is very dangerous, I am not sure about doing it. Originally, I could not do it, because once I did it, it is very likely that I would suffer a major disaster and our entire family would suffer a major disaster. But... When it comes to the source of this thing, it is the evil cause I planted at the beginning. The unintentional words a few years ago, but unexpectedly, the matter has harmed others now. I feel extremely guilty. Mingzhu, what should I do?"

Xu Mingzhu was a little surprised: "Husband, are you... discussing with me?"

"Of course I'm discussing with you that this family is half of you."

Xu Mingzhu lowered her head and thought for a while, and said softly: "Husband, what kind of evil consequences will be if she doesn't do this?"
Chapter completed!
