Linzhi

When He merged into the city, those restless people had already been suppressed by Empress Pei.

The Miyagi hadn't been cleaned up yet, so Empress Pei sent someone to invite him to Duke Qin's mansion.

"You have lost a lot of weight. After you move back to the palace, let someone make up for you."

Empress Pei's first words after meeting him, did not ask about the battle situation, did not mention political affairs, on the contrary, it was the family's slander, and she came slowly, which warmed He Rong's heart.

"Thank you, Empress Mother, for your concern. Empress Mother has really worked hard all the way, but fortunately, she arrived in Beijing safely!"

He turned his gaze to the baby who was being held in the arms of the maid next to him.

"Is this Eleven Lang?"

The baby looked at He Rong curiously. He Rong smiled, untied the red tassels around his waist and handed them over, shaking them on top of his head. Get him excited and babble.

Empress Pei watched this scene with a smile. The older brother teased the younger brother with a soft and patient expression.

There is a big age difference between the two brothers. If there is no accident, this friendship should last for many years. What's more, He Rong has a clear mind and enough tolerance. If he touches his bottom line, He Rong will be the best brother in the world.

Empress Pei felt that she had not misjudged the person.

If she insists on going her own way now and wants her son to become the throne, of course she can gather a group of people to fight against He Rong, but in the end she may not be able to win He Rong, and He Zhan, He Xi and others will also stand on He Rong's side , In the end, she is very likely to end up dismal.

Since she had already given up a foot of land for the prince from the beginning, why not give up for He Rong now?The son is still in his infancy, so he can't see his future talent at all. If he is mediocre and gentle like his father, so that he almost loses half of his country, even if he ascends to the throne, what's the use if he can't sit still for a few days?

"Mother, I wonder if His Majesty left any last words before his death?"

He Rong's question brought Empress Pei back to her senses, she shook her head and said sadly: "Since he went south, he sighed and sighed every day, frowning, and his body has been ill all the time, but it is impossible to say that medicine and stone were not treated, thanks to Sui'an Xiang I report the letter so that I can find out what is wrong in advance. I originally thought that Li Kuan would not dare to kill His Majesty, so I guess he wanted to detain him so that he could coerce the emperor to order the princes, but he did not expect that he would directly..."

Emperor Jiayou died unjustly, and even more confusedly, until he died, he didn't know that he was deposed as a commoner back then, Li Kuan stepped in, and he didn't know why the prince rushed to Yunzhou to make contributions. It is also because Li Kuan contributed to the flames, not to mention that Li Kuan became King Ji's father-in-law. On the surface, he was always planning for his son-in-law, but in fact he just used King Ji as a plank to cross the river.

But being confused is not a blessing. If you don't know so much, it won't be too painful.

Empress Pei said: "Among the princes, in terms of talent and temperament, you should be the leader, even if the prince and King Ji were together back then, it was the same. It's just that the elders and young were orderly at that time, and it was not easy to mess around. Now the prince and King Ji Now that I'm gone, you should take over this burden. Eleventh Lang is still young, and I'm a girl, so I'm afraid I need you, my elder brother, to take care of me more."

If it were someone else, they might have to be modest and decline, but He Rong nodded openly and calmly: "Don't worry, mother, I will do my best."

Empress Pei smiled: "You always speak up and keep your promises. I believe in you the most. When Shi Shilang was born, His Majesty had already passed away. I will trouble you if I have time to give him a name in the future."

At this moment, the eunuch Zongzheng went to Loukong, but he couldn't find a genealogy even if he took the name, but He Rong thought for a moment, his eyes fell on the young brother who was smiling innocently, and his heart was slightly soft, and he said: "Then Let’s call it He Xi, the sun is rising in the east, the morning light is dim, Eleven Lang was born in troubled times, but he was born safely, and he will be a lucky person in the future.”

Empress Pei laughed and said, "I only hope that he is safe and healthy, and that he treats people honestly, that is a blessing."

He Rong admired Empress Pei's generosity very much, and even more admired the vision of the late emperor in choosing a wife for his father. If there was no Empress Pei, his life would have been full of ups and downs as early as when Chang'an established the crown prince, and although he was sure to control the overall situation in the end , but also a lot of trouble.

Empress Pei asked him to name Eleven Lang, not only because Emperor Jiayou was not around, but also because even if Eleven Lang committed any mistakes in the future, as long as it wasn't a rebellion, He Rong would see it in the eyes of Empress Pei and him. The situation of naming him is divided online.

He knew what Empress Pei was thinking, and he was happy to fulfill it.

This is thanks and gratitude to Empress Pei for her understanding of the overall situation.

He Rong asked: "I don't know if the second sister-in-law has returned with the queen mother?"

Empress Pei said: "When she helped me escape, in order to keep the soldiers and horses chasing after Li Kuan, she used her body as a pawn to buy us a lot of time. I'm afraid she is still in Li Kuan's hands now."

He Rong remained silent.

Empress Pei also heard a little about their past events, and she didn't want him to feel guilty, so she smiled and said: "Si Lang and A Xi also came with me, and I was able to give birth to Shi Lang safely, thanks to Shi Lang's help." Junior Brother, otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll end up with two dead bodies today.”

As soon as these words were finished, He Xi and He Xi arrived hand in hand.

He Rong reckoned that He Xi must have eavesdropped on him talking to Empress Pei outside, and came in at the right time, so he couldn't help but sneer.

Hearing this sneer, the originally indifferent smile on He Xi's face froze and turned into powder.

"Third brother."

He Xi was close, and when he heard the trembling voice of the fourth brother, he felt amused, and saluted respectfully to Empress Pei and He Rong.

"I met my mother, I met my third brother, how is my third brother?"

"I'm fine." Facing the seventh brother, He Rong was very amiable, "You've really grown up and become sensible, and you can be your own."

The words "grown up and sensible" made He Xi's eyes warm up, and he almost shed tears.

When the biological mother, Yuan Shi, was still alive, He Rongrong visited him in the palace. Before leaving, he touched his head and told him, Qilang, you have grown up and sensible, so take good care of your mother and protect her from the wind and rain.

The words are still ringing in my ears, things are right and people are wrong.

Turning to He Xi, He Rong still had tenderness on his face, and waved to him: "Come here."

He Xi felt vigilant, and said with a smile: "Third brother, if you have any orders, just say it."

He Rong also smiled: "You have lost a lot of weight these years, and I almost don't recognize you. Back then, you were the best food in the mansion. How did you get used to those vegetarian meals all these years? Is it possible? There are still precepts in Buddhism, if you become a monk, you can't get close to your elder brother?"

He Xi saw the wind and frost in the corner of his eyes, and heard these words, his heart also felt sour, and he walked forward involuntarily.

"Leaving home and entering the world is all about practicing. The third brother will be my third brother for the rest of his life."

He Rong suddenly changed his face, picked up the bamboo stick beside him and beat him.

"Then I'll settle the score with you!"
