Datang Imperial Physician

Chapter 393 The friendship between the ruler and the minister
The place where Eunuch Huang brought Wei Chi, Wei Chi turned his head and looked, it was the place where Hou Junji's army was stationed that day, Wei Chi had been staying not far from here for so long, and was familiar with the plants here Kazuki, he knew where he was at a glance.His Majesty Li Er stood with his hands behind his back and looked into the distance. Hou Junji and Li Ji stood behind him.I haven't seen him for a few days, but Hou Junji seems to have lost a lot of weight, with a sad and tired expression, more embarrassing than a defeated rooster.Wei Chi walked over to salute: "Chen Wei Chi sees Your Majesty."

"Excuse me, this is not the Tai Chi Hall, so there is no need for so many rituals."

His Majesty Li Er turned around and said to Wei Chi. After Wei Chi saluted His Majesty Li Er, he greeted Li Ji again: "Uncle Li."

Li Ji scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, he disappeared after returning home, and only knows to stay at home all day long."

Wei Chi smiled shyly, and said, "Isn't this just coming back from an adventure? I was treated like a baby when I got home, so I'm ashamed."

The uncle and nephew narrated a few words of family life, Wei Chi consciously stood next to Li Ji, but cautiously refused to say hello to Hou Junji, directly ignoring Ya's existence.Anyway, the hostile relationship between the two of them is known to everyone present, so there is no need to be hypocritical and hypocritical, and Wei Jia thinks it is better to act more realistically.

"Today, I called the three of you here. Do the three of you know the purpose?"

Li Ji and Hou Junji bowed their heads in silence, and Wei Chi followed suit.His Majesty Li Er let out a long sigh, fell silent, turned his back, and began to stare into the distance again.His Majesty Li Er was silent, and the three of them didn't dare to say anything. They just stood by silently, and Wei Jia secretly enjoyed himself behind him—stand by, talk with, think with, three companions in the new era.

"Junji, I have always wanted to ask you, why? Why did you rebel? The time you have been with me is not too short. When I was the king of Qin, you were already in the mansion of the king of Qin. Why now that I have become the emperor, why do all the people in the world Master, we have already made it through, and it is the time when we have made some achievements, you chose to rebel, tell me, why is this? Can't you understand the painstaking efforts I have made for you?"

His Majesty Li Er said these words with a heartbroken heart, the pain and pity in his eyes were clearly visible, and Hou Junji felt ashamed for a while, and he knelt down regardless of the uneven ground: "Your Majesty, I am sorry for your Majesty's guilt!" , Lived up to His Majesty's expectation, the guilty minister died without regret, please Your Majesty grant the minister the death penalty."

His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "Capital crime?! You are dead, how can I say the painstaking efforts I have spent, the brotherhood I have paid? How can I say all of this? I have lived and died with you and Li Ji for so many years? You can die if you die. smooth?"

Hou Junji couldn't say anything, but knelt down with shame on his face: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed, please forgive me."

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand to signal him to get up. Hou Junji was still kneeling upright, embarrassed to get up, as if kneeling like this could make him feel better.

His Majesty Li Er said sadly: "I trust you and chose your son-in-law to be the crown prince Donggong Qianniu. How did your good son-in-law repay my trust? My good prince almost became disabled. If it weren't for Wei Chi If it is handled properly, the face of the emperor and the royal family have been lost! Chengqian... the current Chengqian, the Chengqian who is now praised by the ministers of the court, also owes most of the credit to Wei Chi's training. What's wrong with me trusting him? Wei Chi has a pure heart, towards me, towards the prince, and towards all the people he is willing to care about. With such a person by my side, how can it hinder you? Ah? Can't I have a caring junior by my side? "

His Majesty Li Er's words were obviously not aimed at Hou Junji alone, but all his grievances were directed at Hou Junji.Wei Zhi lowered his head and stood silently. He said in his heart that he was not moved. matter.

After a pause, His Majesty Li Er continued: "I sent you to lead the army again and again, didn't I declare to you that I trust and value you? Why do you keep living up to my expectations? Disregarding my reminder to you again and again, embarrassing Wei Chi again and again, making me look bad?"

Hou Junji couldn't help crying, and cried: "Your Majesty, I am sorry for Your Majesty, I deserve to die, I am guilty, I am wrong, I misunderstood Your Majesty, and I failed Your Majesty's trust! Woohoo... Your Majesty! , damn it!"

His Majesty Li Er let out a long sigh again: "Come on, let's go, now the mistake has been made, the wood is done, and it is irreversible, Junji, I think in the face of the past, I will not implicate the nine clans of you, and preserve a trace of blood for your Hou family." , can you be convinced?"

Hou Junji's face was full of tears, and he sincerely kowtowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness to me. Even if I am an ox or a horse in the next life, I can't repay you. I don't have any dissatisfaction in my heart. I only have gratitude to Your Majesty. In the next life Repay Your Majesty with a grass and a ring."

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, turned to Li Ji and Wei Chi, and said, "Li Ji, Wei Chi, have you two heard the promise I made?"

Li Ji said: "Your Majesty, I have heard that from now on, I will never embarrass the orphans and widows of the Marquis Mansion again. If you violate this statement, you will be punished by heaven and earth."

Wei Zhi also said: "Your Majesty, from the beginning to the present, what have you done for me? You have always been bullied. As long as the Hou Fu doesn't come to trouble me, I'm happy for everyone to get along in peace and happiness. A few friends are better than many enemies."

His Majesty Li Er said: "Li Ji has always had clear grievances and grievances, and he keeps his promises. I believe he can do what he says. Wei Jia, you slippery boy, you still can't speak clearly, and you know how to leave a way for yourself. Don't you? Didn't your guarantee work?"

Wei Chi smiled, and said: "Your Majesty made a guarantee, and I have nothing to say here, just listen to it, isn't there something to say? He said he listened to His Majesty, followed the court, and headed for a better new life."

"Grumpy!"

His Majesty Li Er gave a slight reprimand, and then laughed too. After laughing, he turned to Hou Junji and said, "Did you hear that? Don't worry?"

Hou Junji said peacefully: "Your Majesty, I am relieved, and I can go away with peace of mind. After I leave, Your Majesty should not worry about the guilty minister. The guilty minister cannot bear it. I will pray day and night under the nine springs. My Tang Dynasty is prosperous, Your Majesty is in good health, Your Majesty, I bid farewell to you!"

Hou Junji "bang bang bang" came with a grand ceremony of kneeling three times and knocking nine times. There were tears in his eyes, but a smile on his face. His expression was serene, as if he had no regrets.His Majesty Li Er didn't stop him this time, he knelt down and kowtowed nine times, his eyes were wet, he waved his hands to ask someone to take Hou Junji down, and muttered to himself, "Go all the way."

This time, it is considered the last meeting between the monarch and his ministers. After returning to Beijing, Hou Junji will be handed over to Dali Temple for trial, and he will be executed at a certain date. It was a serious crime, and to spare his youngest son was a special kindness from His Majesty Li Er, but the laws of the country were ruthless, and Hou Junji could not forgive him.

After Hou Junji was taken down, His Majesty Li Er seemed to have spent some time to calm down, and said to Li Ji: "From now on, you guys don't have to worry about the safety of Wei Chi kid anymore. After this time, I believe no one will dare to If you mess around, no one will mess around."

Wei Chi smiled and said nothing, but Li Ji glanced at Wei Chi with a very kind expression on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, as your Majesty said, it's not easy to have a caring younger generation when you're old. Little bastards, it is a blessing not to make my old man unhappy. There are almost no such caring as Shiro. This brat is both worrying and comforting. I really love and hate him. The old man can talk, and he can also play with the little brats. How can such a stinky boy have the heart to let him be wronged? They are a young couple who have no relatives and no reason in our Tang Dynasty. An old man can show them something, he doesn't even have a place to talk about being bullied and wronged, he can only knock down his teeth and swallow his blood. Fortunately, the brat is not a troublesome character, he is still a rule , It saves people a lot of worry. This time, I was forced to rush, so I have to put a little effort into it. If it is inappropriate, please forgive me."

His Majesty Li Er took a look at Wei Chi, saw that he was sullen and silent, stretched out his foot and kicked him, and said, "Did you hear what Uncle Li said?"

Wei Chi said: "I heard it, and I kept it in my heart."

The voice is a little off-pitched, a little nasal.His Majesty Li Er and Li Ji looked at each other, His Majesty Li Er shook his head with a smile, Li Ji scolded "a worthless brat" with a smile, Wei Chi giggled, raised his head, and could see his red eyes.

After saying a few words, Li Ji retreated with a wink, leaving only His Majesty Li Er and Wei Jia standing there.His Majesty Li Er looked at Wei Chi's red eyes with a smile. After a long time, he sighed and said, "I have wronged you."

Wei Chi shook his head and said: "It's nothing, in fact, under the care of your uncles and His Majesty, I didn't suffer any serious grievances, that is, I received a few cold looks and listened to a few cold words, but I won't lose a piece of meat." , If you want to say it, just say it, I won’t take it to heart.”

His Majesty Li Er said: "If you say that, I believe that you don't care about it. People who pretend to be concerned about trivial matters will not live as happily as you do. People with a broad heart and their own world , to be as leisurely and carefree as you, and I don't have such a blessing."

Wei Chi chuckled and said, "Your Majesty is a busy, capable, and great man, and I'm just a commoner. This is the difference. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

His Majesty Li Er repeated Wei Chi's words, and nodded with a smile: "It's true, the more you want, the more you give. If I want this world, I have to bring it down, and I have to manage it." Get the world, bear the world."

Wei Chi listened with a smile, but didn't answer.His Majesty Li Er finished expressing his emotions, and suddenly changed the subject: "I don't know why Yuanchang kidnapped you, do you?"

Wei Jia nodded hurriedly, and said quickly: "Returning to Your Majesty, I really don't know, and I can't understand it after thinking about it. Do you want to tell me the reason? Thank you, Your Majesty, I am grateful. After returning to the capital , I personally cook, Your Majesty, please give me a rub to express my gratitude."

His Majesty Li Er said with a half-smile: "It's a good plan. I'll tell you what you've been wanting to know, and you just treat yourself to a meal. Isn't it... too insincere?"

Khan, there are still empty talks about conditions at this time. Isn't this deliberately intriguing?It's too bad to despise!firmly despise.

It is estimated that he was quite happy to see Wei Jia's depressed expression. His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but smile a little. Among the brothers in the Li family, there was once a younger brother named Zhiyun, who was born to Concubine Wan. After Yun's death, Concubine Wan was overly sad and no longer cared about the affairs of the palace. The two concubines Zhang and Yin were favored by the late emperor and took advantage of the situation. It hurts. I have been leading the army all year round, and I am not familiar with these young brothers. As a general, I am used to the seriousness of the army. Instead, they are familiar with Jian Jiancheng and Yuan Ji, who have been in Beijing all year round. Be afraid and stay away."

Wei Jia knew this period of history, it was probably the most depressing period in His Majesty Li Er's life, he worked hard to lead the army to fight for his father, and his father still listened to the concubine's pillow talk and didn't want to see him.When he needed someone for war, he knew to look for Li Shimin, and when he didn't need someone, he listened to other people's words and repeatedly criticized him.As long as it is an individual, who would have no resentment when faced with this situation?There will be!What's more, he is someone with the temperament of His Majesty Li Er.Speaking of the late Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan, His Majesty Li Er seemed to have some resentment in his heart.

Wei Chi listened silently, and didn't know how to answer the words, and even dared not answer them. This is a secret of the royal family. Although he has heard a lot, these old events are related to the former emperor and the king Li Jiancheng. It seemed to be a bad topic, and Wei Chi was completely dumbfounded. He didn't know why Li Yuanchang's matter could be brought up on Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng's head. His Majesty Li Er can digress too much, right?
His Majesty Li Er said: "Back then, when I was not in power, the concubines in the palace were instigated by Jian Jian and Yuan Ji, who made my father criticize me in every possible way. I have suffered a lot of grievances, but Guanyin servant girl has a soft temperament, even if she is wronged, she will not tell me, but how can I not understand! Those despicable villains did something wrong when I was not in power. , Naturally, I was anxious, afraid to face me, afraid to face the queen!"
