"My concubine has seen your Royal Highness!" Li Kuan saw that the person was Li Shi, the daughter of the King of Huaiyang. Li Shi was also shocked when he saw Li Kuan. He calmly saluted Li Kuan. Li Kuan stared at Li Shi dumbfounded, and then turned his head to look at Li Daozong. , Asked: "Uncle Wang, can you explain it to me?"
Li Daozong deliberately put Li Shi's name in the royal clan daughter, this is a dangerous move. Although I don't know what Li Daozong's plan is, Li Kuan guessed that the relationship between the two is not ordinary from Li Shi staying in Jiangxia Palace, but he is quite sure that Li Shi is definitely not Li Daozong's daughter.
"Little poem, come with you too!" Li Shi nodded respectfully and followed behind Li Daozong, while Li Kuan quietly asked, "You know Uncle Wang well?" Li Shi nodded without saying a word, "You come to Uncle Wang's Mansion. What's up?" Li Shi shook his head. Li Kuan asked several questions in a row. Li Shi never spoke except nodding and shaking his head.
Li Daozong led the two to his study, and ordered the guards in the mansion not to approach him, and ordered his servants to prepare some food and send them outside the study. Li Kuan seemed to be at home, not at all polite. Before Li Daozong could speak, he sat aside by himself, while Li Shi stood still until Li Daozong signaled her to sit down.
"If you have anything, you can ask!" Li Kuan didn't make any useful words from Li Shi, so he had to ask the master, "Uncle Wang, you tell your nephew why you want the daughter of the King of Huaiyang as a candidate What is your relationship with Xiao Shi?"
Li Shi was also curious about the previous question. She had also asked when she came to seek refuge during the day, but Li Daozong kept silent, let her wait and see. Now Li Shi suddenly realized that Li Daozong had expected that Li Kuan would come to ask about this, otherwise he would not be surprised at all, and he would directly admit what he had done.
"Entrusted by others, loyal to others!" Li Daozong replied ambiguously, and then explained: "Little poem is the daughter of King Huaiyang, do you know the name of King Huaiyang is taboo?"
Li Kuan replied: "Li Daoming!"
"Then do you know his brother's name?" Li Kuan pondered for a moment and shook his head. Li Daozong sighed: "Li Daoxuan, I are brothers of the same clan and the same clan, and the brother of Li Daoming, King of Huaiyang, and the real King of Huaiyang. The cousin died in the battle, so his brother Daoming was heir to the king of Huaiyang."
"Uncle Wang, does this have anything to do with it?" Li Kuan wanted to know why Li Daozong put Li Shi on the list. This has something to do with what happened in the Huaiyang Palace
Li Daozong was sitting in danger and nodded earnestly: "It's a big deal. Little Sinai is the daughter of General Li Daoxuanyou Qianniuwei, the former king of Huaiyang."
"Uncle Wang, this..." Li Shi was stunned, watching Li Daozong silently nodding her head tremblingly. Her heart was completely disturbed. She always thought Li Daoming was her father, but she didn't expect to know it after twenty years. The biological father is actually the former uncle Li Daoxuan.
In a trance, when he was in his childhood, Li Daoming took himself to worship his ancestors, looked at Li Daoxuan’s tombstone solemnly, and solemnly told her: "Little poem, you must remember where you are whenever you are here. I will bow down to your uncle every day!"
The young Li Shi nodded inexplicably. From then on, Li Shi would pay homage to his uncle Li Daoxuan during the Cold Food Festival and October 17th. She once asked her father Li Daoming: "Father, why do you have to pay special respects? Where's your uncle?"
Li Daoming looked at Li Shi and said seriously: "If it weren't for your uncle's work, how can our line be crowned king?"
From that time on, Li Daoxuan, the uncle in Li Shi’s memory, was a great hero in his own line. If he hadn’t fought the battlefield in the South and North Wars, how could he be crowned King of Huaiyang in the first year of Wude and be awarded the right? Qianniuwei's position as a general, and she also knew that her uncle died in battle, making her father the King of Huaiyang.
"Little lady, the prince is true, you are the daughter of the general!" Just in Li Shi's trance, the nurse's voice came. Seeing the disbelief in Li Shi's eyes, she had to face her once again. In the past, "The general's wife was pregnant, but before he could tell the prince, he was appointed as the chief of the marching army in Hebei Province and led his army to fight against the rebel Liu Heizai."
"The madam is waiting for the general's triumphant return in the mansion with joy, and then tells the general of your existence. However, what the madam is waiting for is the news that the general died on the battlefield. She is so sad that her body is weakened. If it weren't for your existence, the madam would survive. Courage, I'm afraid that at that time Madam will not be able to afford to be ill." New Bayi Chinese website first published https://(www).https://m/.x81zw./com/
"Pregnant in October, but Madam's body is no longer good, and she had to choose to give birth. So you were born in the ninth month of your pregnancy, and when you were born, Madam also went with the general. Under the auspices of King Jiang Xia, you passed on. The general's younger brother is a female."
Li Kuan became more confused as he listened, and suddenly remembered that only Li Shi’s portrait did not include the age. Based on this calculation, Li Shi’s age was exactly 17 years old this year. She was born in March of the sixth year of Wude, and her family tree is an adoptive daughter. If it is not recorded, and the woman cannot be an heir, Li Daoming puts him in his own name, which can be regarded as keeping Li Shineng in the genealogy.
"Uncle Wang, you are so tall!"
Li Kuan figured out the key point and instantly understood Li Daozong's intention. He deliberately added Li Shi to the case when the number of people was insufficient with his authority as a book minister. When Li Shi approached him, he guessed that he was entrusted by Tubo, that is to say. The previous crime of great unfilial piety no longer exists. According to the truth, Li Daoming is her uncle, not her father, and naturally avoided the name of great filial piety. Moreover, Li Shi has been in the mourning period for half a year, even if she married Tubo at this time. For this matter, filial piety is naturally important. However, filial piety can only be retreated in front of state affairs. It can be said that Li Shi is fine even if he is married.
On the one hand, Li Daozong’s move was to complete the great event of the Tang and Tubo peace, and on the other hand, it could also solve Li Shi’s lifelong affair. He deliberately erased the age of Li Shi’s portrait. The purpose was naturally to attract attention so that Li Shi was successfully captured. Selected. As the official book of the Ministry of Rites, Li Daozong naturally inquired about the appearance and character of Tubo Zanpu from various aspects. Therefore, Li Daozong’s move is also reasonable. The fertile water does not flow into the field of outsiders. Naturally, he must be left to Li Shi, the niece. There must be another factor.
"Are you complimenting me?"
Li Daozong looked at Li Kuan with a smile. He liked this nephew very much. Li Kuan could see the flaws in only the small details. In addition, Li Daozong thought that Li Kuan was a feat. Zhicai, if placed on the battlefield, he would be a general of the royal family.
"Of course it is!"
Li Kuan reluctantly squeezed out a smile, Li Daozong smiled very happily, Li Kuan was worried to death, for fear that this matter would make him tired, and the whole person was relieved. Li Daozong calculated every step, that is to say, even if the trouble broke out. Nothing will happen, I muttered silently in my heart: "Sure enough, it's the old fox!" I couldn't help but think of the three Wang Huai in my own palace, and my heart was cold. It is better to be careful when dealing with these old foxes, lest I get caught in the trap and I don't even know it.
