When Li Shimin walked in, his face was full of dust.

His handsome face was originally a beard, and his cheeks were dark and thin. If Li Shimin used to be a little bit of a creamy young man, the sand and dust on the battlefield have accelerated his maturity. Qianshuiyuan's miserable defeat made his mind mature, and the wind and sand in Longyou sucked his childishness. Li Shimin is now a world of difference from the arrogant Li Shimin a year ago.

When Li Yuan saw this, he was filled with relief and stood up and held Li Shimin's hand, "Shimin, everything goes well? Sit!"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Father, the pacification of Longyou is very smooth. Wherever our army goes, the Xue family army is invincible. Xue Ju and Xue Renguo are both dead. The ministers support Xue Ju's youngest son Xue Renyue as the emperor, but he is a coward. Seeing me going, he opened the city to surrender. I spared him and asked him to persuade the troops of Longyou to surrender. Wherever we go, we will pacify them. By the way, Dad, the most rewarding thing this time is to take more than 10,000 war horses, and our Xuanjia Tianshang soldiers have increased their strength."

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Shimin, you are very relaxed and relaxed in your work now, which is really gratifying for your father."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "This is also a chance for my father to give me, otherwise I would have been depressed long ago."

Li Yuan patted Li Shimin on the shoulder, "You are my son. If you don't give you this opportunity, which one should I give?" Thinking of something, Li Yuan turned his head to look at Li Gang and said, "Shu Li, what do you think I said just now?"

Without waiting for the answer, Li Gang shook his head and said, "Dad, I don't agree."

Li Yuan was stunned, "Do you know everything?" Seeing Li Shimin's triumphant success, Li Yuan temporarily put the matter aside in Taiyuan. Seeing Li Shimin's heroic spirit reminded Li Yuan of the incompetent Li Yuanji and sighed in his heart.

Li Shimin said: "Dad, as far as I know, when Yuan Ji was in Taiyuan, he was always arrogant and extravagant..."

Li Yuan's face changed slightly. "Shimin, that's your younger brother!"

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "Dad. I know he is my younger brother. But because of this, we all hope that he can develop on the better side, rather than like today. It makes things uncontrollable. Yuan Ji is making trouble. Dou Dan not only makes mistakes, but he keeps covering up for him. The people of Taiyuan have been dissatisfied. But do you know these fathers? Zhang Da, the general of the chariot and cavalry, accidentally injured Yuan Ji, and made Yuan Ji feel resentful. He sent him to take hundreds of people to die. Zhang Qian rebelled angrily. Liu Wuzhou captured Yuci. Yuwen Xin was loyal and advised repeatedly. Yuan Ji lied to him and said he had gone out of the city to attack the enemy. But he led the elite soldiers to escape from Taiyuan. This made Taiyuan fall. Everything in the land was Yuan Ji's mischievous. Dou Dan was at work. Yuwen Xin was loyal. Dad, you don't punish the treacherous and kill the loyal and kind. Wouldn't it make all officials feel disheartened?"

"How do you know these?" Li Yuan had a gloomy face.

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "It was Yuwen Xin who escaped. Go to me first. Tell me the truth at the beginning. I believe that he will not lie. Li Yuan pondered for a long time and said, "Yuan Ji himself did not learn well. It was not Dou Dan, Yuwen Xin and the other two could forbidden it. This was my mistake. Since that's the case, he went to the title of King Qi of Yuanji. Yuwen Xin... Dou Dan's crimes will not be held accountable."

Li Gang breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down and said, "The Lord of the Lord, the wise, is the blessing of the world."

Li Yuan grinned. "You all retreat for the time being. Shimin. Keep it."

Waiting for everyone to leave, Li Yuan sighed and said, "Shimin. Taiyuan is in ruins. How do you think you should deal with it?"

Li Shimin said: "Dad, I don't think you have to worry. I think that although Liu Wuzhou took Taiyuan, the terrain of the Bird Rat Valley was concise and there were elite soldiers to guard it. As long as there was nothing unexpected happening, I guess Liu Wuzhou was still unable to go south, and the mysterious armored heavenly soldiers in the child land had matured. Please lead the troops to Jiexiu, recover Taiyuan, and Jiexiu's land!"

Seeing Li Yuan pondering silently, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Dad, are you still worried about me? You know, I am no longer the young boy I used to be."

Li Yuan sighed: "Shimin, I am not worried about you, but I feel that even if you do something, you may not be sure of it."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Dad, Yuan Ji is not good at leading the army at all. You have a problem with the heavy responsibility of guarding Taiyuan to him. What kind of ability is Liu Wuzhou? Can't he do anything to him? The Taiyuan crisis is in Taiyuan, and the rescue is like putting out fire. Jiang Baoyi defends Pingyao to the death. If he does not send troops, he may collapse at any time. If he does not send troops at this time, when will he wait?"

If it were in the past, Li Yuan would definitely rebuke loudly, but today, Li Yuan just touched Li Shimin's head and said, "Shimin, you have just returned from Longyou and don't understand the situation. Although your Xuan Armored Heavenly Soldier is not bad at dealing with Liu Wuzhou, do you know that Liu Wuzhou's team is mixed with black armored iron cavalry."

Li Shimin took a breath, "Did Xiao Buyi send troops?"

Although he was conceited, he had an indescribable awe towards Xiao Buyi. It was because Xiao Buyi's iron cavalry was too famous. No matter how he was dissatisfied, Li Shimin could not deny that Xiao Buyi's world today was not a place to enjoy his achievements, but Xiao Buyi led the way and fought down one by one!

Xiao Buyi fought for several years, but he had never lost one loss. Once or twice, he could still be said to be lucky, but it has shown that although Xiao Buyi was born as a horse bandit, he also had keen military talents.

Xiao Buyi actually joined forces with Liu Wuzhou. When Li Shimin thought of this, he was also chilling.

Forced himself to calm down, Li Shimin said calmly: "Dad, even if Liu Wuzhou and Xiao Buyi join forces, Xiao Buyi is a human being, not a god after all, and I have the confidence to fight him."

Li Yuan shook his head, "Let me think about it again. Shimin, your progress is beyond my expectations... But it is obvious that he still lacks the opportunity to compete with Xiao Buyi."

"Even if you don't send me, it's okay to send my elder brother. Brother... where are you now?" Li Shimin asked anxiously. He led the army... to Shangdang." Li Yuan said slowly.

Li Shimin said in surprise: "What did he do when he went to Shangdang?"

After a long silence, Li Yuan said: "Shimin, although Xiao Buyi sent troops to secretly assist Liu Wuzhou and became enemies with us, he is in great trouble now. Although Xu Yuanlang is not afraid of him, Dou Jiande has sent troops to attack Changping and Hanoi..."

"Dou Jiande sent troops?" Li Shimin said happily: "Dad, has he agreed to form an alliance with us?"

Li Yuan hesitated and said, "It should be so. I sent three groups of people to persuade him. The magic power finally went there, saying that Dou Jiande had agreed to join forces to attack Xiao Buyi."

Shentong is Li Shentong, Li Yuan’s cousin, and he is very trusted by Li Yuan.

Li Shimin suddenly said: "It turns out that Xiao Buyi was in secret, and his father was not willing to be outdone. So, the eldest brother went to Shangdang. Of course, he was waiting for an opportunity to go out of seclusion and go south to assist Dou Jiande in attacking Changping, and then preparing to attack Dongdu?"

Li Yuan nodded slowly, "You can say that, but Xiao Buyi's foundation is now solid, and Dongdu is united. It's not easy to shake his foundation. I just let your elder brother wait for an opportunity to move. Shimin. You have just returned from Longyou. It's quite hard. Let's go back and rest first. I'll discuss it with you in a few days."

When Li Shimin saw Li Yuan, he couldn't bear to say much. After leaving the palace, he turned straight to the Qin Palace. A girl was sitting in the hall pondering. When she heard the footsteps, she stood up happily, "Shimin, you are back."

The girl cut her eyes with her eyes. She had an oval face. When her smile bloomed, her cheeks showed a shallow dimples. The woman's face was beautiful, and her petite body was shrouded in white fur. She stood there with an indescribable atmosphere of books.

When Li Shimin saw the girl, he said in surprise: "Wugui, are you here?" It turned out that the girl was his fiancée, Changsun Wugui!

Back then, the Li family and the Changsun family married. The Changsun family valued the strong foundation of the Li family and knew that although the Li family was not successful, they would definitely make great achievements in the future. However, the Li family and the Changsun family married the Changsun family valued the Changsun family's think tank.

The Changsun family, from Changsun Sheng to Changsun Shunde, from Changsun Wuji to Changsun Wugui, were all extremely general people. Li Shimin and Changsun Wugui met since childhood, and could go to Li Shimin when they were young and fencing, and they were young and fencing. They rarely remembered this fiancée in their hearts, so they rarely met. Now they are running around in the army and are rarely seen all year round. Seeing Changsun Wugui standing pretty and beautiful, they felt that the beauty was growing old for a moment.

When he had this state of mind, he was suddenly shocked and thought that Li Shimin now might have the mood of Xiao Buyi back then.

I don’t know why I thought of Xiao Buyi, but Li Shimin could only smile bitterly and shake his head before he found that Changsun Wuji was also in the mansion and said in surprise: “Wuji, you are here too.”

Changsun Wugui just smiled and looked at the person in front of him.

When Li Shimin saw the teasing and pity in her eyes, he suddenly realized that he reached out and touched his jaw, "I haven't shaved it." He reached out and drew his sword, scraped it under the jaw a few times, looked at the face of the sword light, and smiled: "Now, he is the handsome handsome young man who used to be the past, right?"

The Changsun brothers and sisters laughed in surprise, and Changsun Wuji said: "It turns out that Shimin is really busy, he has no time to shave, Wugui..."

"Third Brother..." Changsun Wuji whispered.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Okay, don't talk anymore, Shimin, no one can think of you in the past when you see you."

Li Shimin smiled and shook his head, "If there was no past decadence, how could he have been reborn today? But if there was no Wuji's advice, there would be no reborn today."

He remembered the decadent moment of Asamihara's defeat, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Changsun Wuji said with gratitude: "Shimin's idea really makes me feel relieved. Wugui knew that you came back from Longyou and came to see you from home. I still have something to do..."

Seeing that his sister's eyes were full of affection, he knew that she had a lot to say and got up to leave, Li Shimin asked casually, "It's going well on the road." Seeing dissatisfaction flashing across Changsun Wuji's face, Li Shimin was slightly stunned. Changsun Wugui had already said, "Everything went well."

Changsun Wuji was dissatisfied with disappearing and laughed: "What else can we do to go? Let's go." He walked out of the mansion. Li Shimin's eyes rolled and he smiled: "Wugui, I'll go and see Wuji off and come back later."

He left as soon as he said that, and went out with his arms around Changsun Wuji, and returned to his usual behavior. Changsun Wugui sat down slowly, full of secludedness.

She has become accustomed to this kind of waiting. Perhaps behind a man who achieves great achievements, there will always be a lonely woman...

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji arrived outside the mansion. Seeing that there was no one around, Li Shimin pulled Changsun Wuji to the corner and whispered: "Wuji, what's going on? You have known each other for many years. If you unbutton your pants, I will know that you have diarrhea. Don't hide it from me. I must have something happened."

Changsun Wuji laughed in silence and said, "Shimin, no matter how you say it now, you are the King of Qin. Please, can you speak more elegantly?"

"Let's talk about others, hurry up!" Li Shimin urged.

Changsun Wuji sighed, "Shimin, although you and I are not brothers, I am better than brothers, and I don't want to hide it from you. Your reputation is getting stronger now. It's the King of Qin again. Even if the prince and the prince see us, they are as close as a family. If there is still someone in Xijing who can not give us a good face, there will be only one person."

"It's Yuan Ji again?" Li Shimin frowned.

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Yes, Wugui and I came to your mansion and met Yuanji. I don't know where we offended him. He pointed at Wugui's nose and scolded... As for what to scold, it would be fine if we didn't say anything."

Li Shimin's eyes were breathless. "He was really lawless, and he was defeated in Taiyuan and went to Xijing to play wild again. I'll go find him now." He was about to start, but was grabbed by Changsun Wuji. "Shimin, Wugui doesn't want to tell you because he is afraid that your brothers will fight. If you quarrel with Yuanji, she will blame me. I told you, not to let you stand up for us, but to remind you to be careful. He is like a mad dog now. It's unreasonable."

Li Shimin said coldly: "He is becoming less and less sarcastic now. I really don't understand... how I offended him and kept him holding on."

Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and said, "He now says you are not the son of the priest, Shimin, this is very unfavorable to you..."

"I am my father's son, what else can I doubt this? I don't believe that Dad will do bad things to me because of his nonsense." Li Shimin said in surprise.

Changsun Wuji wanted to speak but stopped, shook his head, "I have something to do, let's go first."

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji's back and frowned, walked towards the mansion with great worries. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead, turned over and ran out of the mansion.

He ran all the way, but came to Changsun Shunde's mansion and headed straight to the mansion.

Changsun Shunde was sitting in the hall, staring blankly outside the hall, the setting sun was setting, and the afterglow was cast on him, making him look a little desolate. Li Shimin rushed in, and then he slowly turned his head and squeezed out and smiled, "Shimin, why are you free to see me?"

Li Shimin walked straight to Changsun Shunde and said seriously: "Uncle Changsun, I have something to ask you."

Only then did Changsun Shunde look at Li Shimin's face carefully, "Did Wugui get you angry?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "How could Wugui make me angry? I want to ask... Am I my father's son?"

He asked suddenly, and Changsun Shunde was stunned, "Why did you ask like this?"

Li Shimin kept staring at Changsun Shunde's face. He couldn't see the abnormality, so he sat down in distress, "I really don't know what to say, nor do I know how to deal with Yuan Ji."

Changsun Shunde understood, "Yuan Guitar... said you are not?"

Li Shimin sighed and said, "If he really said that what I was wrong, I could tolerate it. But he actually scolded Wugui today. After I heard it, I really wanted to beat him up."

"Then have you... beat him up?" Changsun Shunde asked.

Li Shimin shook his head, "No, I want to fight him. If I spread the word, my father will definitely have no face. If my father knew that I took action because of Wugui, he would definitely blame Wugui for not understanding the rules and not advising me. I might be fine, but Wugui will be scolded for me. How could I go there sadly?"

Changsun Shunde smiled and said, "Shimin, you have really grown up. It's great if you think so! There will be no problem in Wugui. But..."

"But what?" Li Shimin asked anxiously.

Changsun Shunde shook his head, "Forget it, I didn't say anything."

"Why did you say it as if you didn't say it?" Li Shimin said in confusion: "Uncle, you must say it."

"I know you have been upset about the rumors about Yuanjidi." Changsun Shunde said in a deep voice. Li Shimin nodded and said, "I originally thought he was just an act of impulse, but now he is getting more and more intense, so I have begun to doubt whether I am my father's son."

Changsun Shunde smiled and said, "Rumors are so terrible that they actually make you at a loss. If you were not the son of the saint, how could he value you so much? Shimin, rumors stop at wise people, don't be too careful."

"But uncle, you have to know how many things happen to three people becoming tigers." Li Shimin said: "Can you help me think of a way... to shut up that kid?"

"Of course there is a solution..." Changsun Shunde said slowly.

"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly." Li Shimin said happily.

"The way is to kill that kid with one knife..." Changsun Shunde said with a smile.

Li Shimin was stunned, "He is my brother. No matter how many things are wrong, I should forgive him."
