.

As soon as Sun Shunde spoke, the ministers whispered. Obviously, they were a little confused.

King Li Shimin of Qin is now well-known in Guanzhong. He can fight tough battles and protracted battles. He will win every battle. He can be said to be an ever-winning general.

Of course, Amizuhara was also defeated once. The casualties were severe. But that time, Li Shimin used diarrhea as an excuse to let Yin Kai go to the top of the mountain. Li Yuan actually didn't want to publicize this matter. He even wanted Li Shimin to establish his prestige and the opponent was invincible when he was in the banner.

Now Li Shimin's momentum has emerged, and it is hard to stop it. Everyone thinks that this time the troops will go out to Tongguan. The decisive battle with Xiao Buyi will be Li Shimin, but Changsun Shunde actually suggested that Li Jiancheng take action. This really made everyone confused.

Li Yuan's face had deeper wrinkles, but he didn't ask.

Even the quiet one in the hall could be heard. Shao suddenly said: "The King of Qin has been invincible recently and has been invincible in the battle. Ruoyi-superior general thinks he is the best candidate for the troops to leave the pass this time."

Shimin's eyes showed gratitude, but he pulled Chai Shao's sleeve and said with a forced smile: "I have a reason to think of Mr. Changsun." He focused on the word "reason" and wanted Changsun Sun De to give an explanation. But Changsun Shunde suddenly became mute, lowered his head and looked at his toes, and said nothing.

Shimin was secretly angry. If it was just the day after he went to Guanzhong, he might have been angrily yelling to justify him. If it were Sumiwara, he would have been unable to help but pursue a reason, but after a year of hard work by Kazubi, he just breathed a sigh of relief. He stopped talking and didn't even want a reason.

Li Yuan's eyes finally fell on Li Shimin, showing a look of relief.

Li Jiancheng stepped forward and said, "Master. If you need to ask your child to send troops... I am obliged to do so. But..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yuanjing waved his hand and said, "The three troops sent to the army that Sheng said were exactly what I wanted. There is no doubt. But which one was the candidate? After I go back, I will think carefully and make a decision before leaving the court!"

He stepped up and turned around and looked at each other in the harem. He was somewhat excited. In any case, the emperor was finally ready to declare war on Xiao Buyi. They had endured it for years and finally wanted to be proud.

Changsun Shunde slowly retreated. When he passed by Li Xiaogong, he looked at him and said softly: "Prince, please take care of yourself."

Lee Hyo-gong had no expression. "Thank you, sir."

The two of them just talked and passed each other. One of Li Xiaogong's hands suddenly burst out.

Shimin noticed this detail and was a little surprised. He always felt that although the two were talking, the meaning was complicated. But they were filled with thoughts in a flash. They threw this behind their minds. They wanted to chase Changsun Shunde. They also had some wishes. They turned around and wanted to leave. Suddenly they found Li Jiancheng was right in front of them.

Li Jiancheng was still as elegant and steady as ever. When he saw his younger brother, he looked over and smiled and said, "Shimin. You have been fighting for so long. I don't have time to talk to you."

Shimin asked, "What are you talking about?" His words made Li Jiancheng stunned for a long time. Li Shimin finally realized that his tone was too heavy. He inevitably misunderstood his elder brother. He smiled and said, "For a moment... I really don't know what to talk about."

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Shimin for a long time and patted his shoulder. When we came out of Dongdu, you were not so tall or so strong..."

"It's not that dark!" Li Shimin laughed loudly. He reached out and touched the stubble under his jaw. It was so hard that it was thrust.

In the past, Li Shimin was indeed handsome and breeze. He and the handsome young man Chai Shao were bright for a while. However, after so many years, Chai Shao was exhausted and haggard. Li Shimin became more tough and had less time to shave his beard. At first glance, he looked like a rough man. For example, the cream boy back then, it can be said that he had changed too much.

Shimin made a joke. The atmosphere eased a lot.

Li Jiancheng sighed: "Yes. I remember you at that time. It's still very... But now, I'm fine. My brother saw you today. You are really tall. You are the number one general of the Li family. I, the eldest brother, heard that you chased Liu Wu for 600 miles. When he recovered most of Hedong, I'm really proud of you."

Shimin said modestly: "If my elder brother had not restrained Yuchi Gong and Daddy had always been strongly supported by me, how could I have the glory of today?"

Li Jiancheng patted Li Shimin on the shoulder. "You think so. My out of Tongguan should be led by you."

"You and I are brothers. Are you still apart from each other?" Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother, let's follow my father's decision. OK?"

Li Jiancheng smiled and nodded. "Okay. Just say one thing."

The two broke up with a smile. Li Shimin did not immediately transfer to the mansion. After seeing Li Jiancheng leave, he went to the palace to look for Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was sitting drinking tea, closing his eyes and pondering. Shimin approached and knelt down and said, "Father, I am safe." Li Yuan opened his eyes and showed a gratifying smile. "Shimin, don't have to be too polite. Let's sit down."

Shimin slowly sat down, but took out a brocade box from his arms. The box was simple and concise. Li Shimin said, "Father, this is a piece of Liaodong old mountain ginseng that I found in Jinyang Palace after I collected Taiyuan. I heard that it is very strange. It can prolong life. You can try it."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Silly child. Is there anything in this palace? I want you to bring it from hundreds of miles away? But you have really changed. It's great to be a father."

He took the brocade box, opened it and looked at it for a while, and suddenly burst into tears.

Shimin was a little panicked. "Father, why did I make you angry?"

Li Yuan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves. He said with emotion: "I was not a father back then. I held a big flag umbrella all day long to keep away the wind and rain from others. Even if I were close neighbors, I laughed at me as an old lady. Women were like. The ministers rarely paid attention to me. Some of them were just squeezed and stomped on me..."

Shimin fell silent. Seeing that there were more wrinkles on Li Yuan's face, more hair on his temples, he comforted him: "The feng shui turns around. No one knows. Today, the father can step on them. The glorious people back then either died or were in a down-and-out manner. They will definitely regret their attitude towards the father."

Li Yuan looked at the box of ginseng in his hand.

Tears. "Your mother became ill when she worked hard and she couldn't get sick all the time. At that time, she planted ginseng. But this kind of ginseng is precious. Where can I use it for my father? If your mother knew that the people of the world would have the filial piety today, she would be comforted by the nine springs."

Shimin is also slightly lit. "Children will not forget the hardships of their parents and the grace of raising them."

Li Yuan put down the brocade box and sighed, "At that time, my father was humiliated many times and even wanted to die. But when I saw you brothers, I could only suppress this idea. Pei Ji met him when he was in a downturn. He always encouraged me to cheer up. He knew that your mother was seriously ill. He also stole a piece of Liaodong Laoshan ginseng for me and even risked the risk of beheading me. You only know that he spent all the money and belongings from Jinyang Palace to help me when he was in the first reign. But he didn't know that the gold, silver and jewelry in the palace were in the heart of my father. It was not as good as the box of ginseng he gave me back then."

Shimin was somewhat surprised. "I don't know that Pei Pushe and his father had this past."

Li Yuan sighed, "How much do you know about the past? Otherwise, if Hedong was defeated as a father, he would not be able to punish him for killing Pei Ji, so that I was very dissatisfied."

Only then did Shimin realize that Li Yuan was nagging about these things, but he wanted to talk about Liu Wenjing's affairs. He frowned and said, "Liu Wenjing's ambitions don't seem to be so powerful. If he sees him again, he should take his head to his father. Let you relieve the hatred in your heart."

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "You are the general now. Just leave these things to your subordinates to deal with. Today, my father said these things. I just want to tell you that friends of poor and humbleness should not be forgotten. Only such people are really good to you. Although Pei Ji's mountain ginseng, your mother has already made the anointed. Finally, it was not saved. Before your mother died, the only thing she couldn't worry about was for your father and you. But Caiyu..."

He was about to cry again Li Shimin hurriedly advised: "Dad and sister's death is an accident and a fate. Please forgive me for your conspiracy."

Li Yuan said after a long time: "The deceased is gone. It is useless to say more. I just want to. If you see Yuanji in the future, think about your sister more. Then your father will be satisfied."

Shimin said seriously: "Dad. The child never teases Yuan Ji. Actually... he and I seem to have been missing for a long time."

Li Yuan said slowly: "I know you are like enemies in your previous life. So every time you know you are back, you will send him out of the capital."

Shimin sighed a little. "Dad's good intentions. I only realized today."

Li Yuan smiled. "It's better to know than to know. Shimin. Are you looking for me today? Is there anything he has to do?"

Shimin said: "There are two things that I ask my father to decide."

"Tell me."

"The first thing is that after Turen heard that after we went to Taiyuan, he sent someone to Taiyuan to ask for money. The leader was the one Zhu Guo Kangli. He did not take Li Zhongwen Zhenghui and others seriously..."

Li Yuan said after a while: "He doesn't even take you and me seriously. How could he take Li Zhongwen and others seriously?" Li Yuan said this with hatred. Although he was an emperor, he lived under the oppression of others all his life. In Dongdu, Yang Guang rode on his neck and could not turn over. Now he has sat on the throne and is ridden by the Turks on his neck. How can he not be annoyed?

But even though he was angry, Li Yuan knew that he wanted to take over the country and rely on the Turkish cavalry. Therefore, he could not turn against him.

Li Shimin whispered: "After she arrived at Taiyuan City, she would do everything evil. Li Zhongwen could not stop it. The people of Taiyuan complained."

"It's okay. Let him do it." Li Yuan's face was as heavy as water. "These people are just fence-bearers. Liu Wuzhou has been in Taiyuan for a long time and hasn't resisted. It's better to let them suffer. What's the second thing you want to say?"

"Dad. I think Xiao Yi can learn from it when encouraging business." Li Shimin said: "The Dongdu is the world's number one city. I carefully observed it and found that he attached great importance to merchants. The world's merchants also have great achievements. There is no Jiangnan or Dongdu..."

Observe and learn the advantages of others. This is a good thing. But our situation is different. We rely on the support of the old Guanzhong family and Xiao Buyique's merchant support. He is a newbie and promotes poor families.

The old lord that Yang Guang had worked so hard to get rid of was weakened by Xiao Buyi by war. The valve is the foundation of our achievements. He has always been a business owner. The key is how to defeat Xiao Buyi. How can he destroy his foundation at this moment and lead the backlash of the family?"

Shimin blushed and said hurriedly: "So that's it. The child has been taught. The father is too late. I won't delay your rest."

He got up and was about to leave. Li Yuan was a little surprised and said, "Shimin. Is there anything else?"

Shimin shook his head and said, "No more. Father. You should rest early." He walked out of the harem. Li Yuan no longer stopped him. After Li Shimin disappeared, he said to himself: "Shimin... has finally grown up."

Shimin left the palace and saw stars everywhere in the sky. The wind blew the bamboos and thousands of leaves and thousands of sounds. He suddenly sighed and shook his head.

After returning to the mansion, he saw someone waiting in the hall. Li Shimin was not surprised and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Fang, I've been waiting for a long time."

The person in the hall is Fang Xuanling.

Since Fang Xuanling defected to Li Shimin, because Li Shimin could set up his own shogunate, he has been working under Li Shimin's account. He is very low-key and respected Li Shimin, who gave Li Shimin a lot of advice.

Seeing Li Shimin coming to Fang Xuanling stand up and give a deep tribute. "The King of Qin, the empress is polite."

Shimin laughed. "How many times have I said it, sir, don't be too polite."

"The courtesy cannot be abandoned." Fang Xuanling smiled and said: I wonder if there is anything I need in the palace today?"

Li Shimin sighed lightly: "Over the years, many gentlemen have given advice. I realized that the past was childish and ridiculous. The emperor is ready to send troops."

Fang Xuan

I expected. "Are you going to the Eastern Capital Army?"

Shimin nodded. "Who can go out of Tongguan, pass the valley, and take Cijian to attack the capital?"

Fang Xuanling frowned and fell silent.

Shimin said sincerely: "Sir, please be honest. I know that I am not as good as my elder brother..."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "The King of Qin should not be too arrogant. The prince is too calm. However, the King of Qin is victorious. After years of war, it is actually inferior to the prince. Is it said that the person who went to the battle this time is the prince? Whose proposal is this? Li Xiaogong or Changsun Shunde?"

"It's Changsun Shunde!"

Fang Xuanling nodded, I think it would be him."

"Mr. Fang also agreed with Changsun Shunde's suggestion?" Li Shimin sat down slowly and said in a deep voice.

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "King Qin, should you and the prince be considering the priest?"

Shimin said: "That's true."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Changshunde is actually also considering the emperor's rule."

Li Shimin said in confusion: "Who will lead the army with the eldest brother? Is it so important?"

Fang Xuanling suddenly sighed and said, "Actually, I think Mr. Changsun doesn't want the emperor to send troops. It's probably because the emperor insists on his own, right?"

Shimin recalled the events in the palace and finally said, "If it weren't for Mr. Reminder, I hadn't paid attention to this point. The emperor only asked Mr. Changsun how to send troops, but he had never asked whether he should send troops. Does the sir think that we will not send troops now?"

Fang Xuanling said after a while: "The best mobile phone is over. The emperor only wanted Xiao Buyi to fight with others to lose both sides. However, he did not expect that Xiao Buyi was not injured, but became increasingly popular. At the beginning, he sent troops to Bashu and seized Jiangnan was the best opportunity. Unfortunately, Prince Li missed it. Later, the capital's troops turned around. The three armies of the Xu family army gathered. If the situation could be controlled, it would also be a good opportunity to besiege the Eastern Capital. Unfortunately, Liu Wuzhou suddenly launched the fall of Hedong and blocked the emperor's itinerary. The emperor was seeking stability but not danger throughout his life. Now, the goal is exhausted and the victory is unpredictable."

Shimin sighed: "The dispute in the world is only on the front line. One move is out of the way and is subject to control."
