The chaotic rain curtain hit the pond, and the mist splashed, some of which splashed onto the stone, making the moss marks look greener.

“What a heavy rain.”

Someone said under the eaves.

Fang Yiai wiped the water droplets on his face and looked at the speaker.

Situ of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanjing, King Jing, held a white porcelain wine glass in his hand, and raised his glass to him and invited him: "Yiai, what are you looking at? Why don't you come here and have a drink together."

There is a Hu bed and several Hu stools under the eaves.

There are a few side dishes on it, with fine wine and beauties accompanying it.

"It's rare to have a rest today. I invite you to have a drink together. I still have some things to talk about."

Li Yuanjing said, tilted his head and drank the wine in his glass in one go.

Before Fang Yiai could speak, she sat on the other person and smiled, "King Jing doesn't have to pay attention to it, he was like this since he was a child."

"Oh?" Li Yuanjing was a little surprised. This was the first time he saw Fang Yiai's trance-like appearance.

In the past, Fang Yiai gave him the feeling of being a martial artist, with a simple mind and no longer dullness.

Moreover, Li Yuanjing could not forget that when Emperor Taizong was there, Fang Yiai stood among thousands of troops with a horse spear.

The veterans are already old. Generals like Fang Yiai, who are in their prime, will surely be able to expand territory and establish great military achievements in the future.

When I was in a daze, Fang Yiai finally spoke: "When I was young, my father was busy with official duties and had no regard for me. When I was bored, I would squat under the eaves of the house and squatted for a whole day. They all thought I was in a daze, but it wasn't."

He looked up and smiled at Li Yuanjing, "Actually, I was waiting for it to rain. I found that whenever it rained, there would be a lot of ants coming out.

Seeing the ants busy, I forgot my worries.”

"Don't talk so much nonsense, come and have a drink."

Chai Shao, who had just spoken to Li Yuanjing, tapped the mouth of the cup with a long rod, making a jingle sound: "It's rare that everyone is interested today, come quickly."

When Fang Yiai came over, he poured wine and shouted: "Yiai, you looked so rude when you were stunned just now. You deserve to respect King Jing for this wine."

"Why."

"Treat you."

During the meal, a woman in palace clothes and noble, stretched her tenderness, pinched the wine glass with her slender orchid fingers, and said to Li Zhi in front of her: "Now you are the emperor, I deserve to respect you."

"Gaoyang." Li Zhi smiled bitterly: "If you have anything, just say it, you and I don't have to do this."

"That's OK."

Princess Gao Yang's face turned cold, she placed the wine glass in her hand heavily on the table, gritted her teeth and said, "I want to transfer Fang Yizhi's title to Yiai, maybe you don't?"

"Gaoyang!"

Li Zhi stood up and looked slightly unhappy: "Transfer to the legitimate, but the eldest son is not the younger son. This is a customization, so how can it be changed easily?"

"You are the emperor, so who is the one who you are just saying?"

Princess Gaoyang stood up and said with a look of ugly expression: "When my father was there, I begged him, but he ignored me. Now you are the emperor. I thought you really treat me as your sister, but I didn't expect that she was still so unkind."

"There is no trivial matter in the family. Once my precedent is set, how can I deal with it in the future? In the future... I will also establish a prince. If I give you a glimpse, what should I do?"

"this……"

Gao Yang suffocated slightly, and stood there biting his lower lip, his eyes were filled with light, and he looked like he was about to cry.

Seeing her like this, Li Zhi felt a little softer again.

"Brother promises you that as long as you leave love and make contributions in the future, you will definitely be promoted. Please guarantee..."

"Hmph, I don't believe you. You, you all lie to me! You are like your father, you all lie to me!"

Gao Yang stomped his feet and let Li Zhi shout, turning his head back and running out of the palace without looking back.

"this……"

Li Zhi sat down with a little depressed look, looking at the empty hall, a sense of frustration surged into his heart.

He reached out and rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache, really a headache.

The emperor is not as easy as he imagined.

Countless human feelings, desires, power, and relationships are intertwined.

Countless interests, causes and effects, trade-offs, and integration.

He often feels exhausted lately.

"His Majesty."

A pair of gentle hands stretched out from behind and gently pressed on Li Zhi's temple, helping him gently rub it to relieve the headache.

"Mei Niang."

Li Zhi didn't look back and reached out to hold the hand that helped him relieve his pain, sighed slightly, "Gao Yang is so ignorant, how do I help her?"

As he said that, he shook his head in disappointment: "Besides, Fang Yiai's incident..."

"Your Majesty does not need to worry. Things are destined to be caused by cause and effect. We just need to do our best and do our best. We don't have to think too much about the outcome."

"I'd better have you so open-minded."

Li Zhi smiled bitterly: "By the way, Gao Yang just said that I am the same as my father. You said... am I really the same as my father?"

"The father once said: "I am like me."

Li Ke smiled and put the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table: "You said, does he really think so?"

Sitting opposite him was a magnificent warrior with his eyes as a bronze bell and his black fibres standing upside down under his chin, unlike ordinary people.

Facing the King of Wu’s question, he was silent and bowed slightly and said, “I dare not speak.”

"Haha, you need not say it, I know too."

Li Ke smiled bitterly and said, "That was a lie to Changsun Wuji, and it was also a lie to me. It is possible that anyone could be established, but I would not be able to stand me because my body was filled with the blood of Yang's previous dynasty."

He stood up shakingly: "So, it's all delusions. The father is afraid that the power will fall into my hands, and that the Sui Dynasty will be resurrected again."

"King of Wu!"

The warrior stood up and said in a deep voice: "You are drunk."

"Am I drunk?"

Li Ke narrowed his eyes, his eyes passed over the wine glass in his hand and fell on the warrior, and said with a somewhat presumptuous smile: "Actually, you and I are the same. No matter how much you do or how well you do, the chrome mark on your body will never be truly recognized."

Samurai is silent.

Li Ke shook forward and reached out to pat his shoulder: "You can think about what I said."

"Wanche said goodbye."

The warrior took two steps back, clasped his fists and bowed to him, then turned around and walked out with great strides.

"Your Highness."

The voices of guards came from both sides: "Do you want..."

Li Ke shook his head and reached out to stop him.

His eyes were clear, and he was not as drunk as before.

He stared at Xue Wanche's back as he left, and after a long time, he raised his glass and drank it all, and then threw the glass heavily on the ground.

Bang!

"Fang Yize, this idiot, has simply misled me."

He turned and walked into the study: "You all go out and let her come and see me."

"yes."

The people in the mansion quickly packed everything up.

When the door closed, light was sealed little by little, and endless darkness emerged, as if the desires and evil thoughts in his heart were awakened at the same time.

"Why, why do I give so much but not be recognized?"

"I must be crazy. I want to prove it to the dead man and tell him that I can actually do better than Li Zhi?"

Hurry~

I don’t know what it was, but Li Ke threw it to the ground.

Then there was a breath of beasts.

After a long time, when the breathing sounded calmed down, Li Ke stood firmly with the table.

His eyes became firm again: "For the sake of the current plan, we must try our best to put ourselves away first, so as not to be plotted by Changsun Wuji, and we will do more to do our best, maybe..."

"Your Highness."

A deliberate soft voice came from outside the study: "Empress Wang has sent someone."

A palace maid walked through the corridor, crossed the palace, and walked into the queen's bedroom in a slightly rapid lotus step.
