Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 220 Can You Have A Drink?

After the Luoyang war last year, many concubines asked for jewelry in private, but Li Shimin refused. The problem is that the few named jewelry are all famous. Wang Shichong used to be proud of this...not dedicated to his father, but privately given to the concubines in the harem , what would father think?
At first, Li Shimin didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a coincidence, but then Zhang Jieyu's father asked for dozens of acres of fertile land, and Li Yuan wrote an imperial edict for this... It happened that Li Shimin took those tens of acres of fertile land The day when Li, king of Huai'an, was bestowed with supernatural powers.

Li Shimin began to be vigilant, the concubines in the harem would not offend the prince who held military power for no reason, obviously they had other intentions.

Just two months ago, during the period when Crown Prince Li Jiancheng was most proud, Concubine Yin's father, Yin Ashu, tore Du Ruhui off his horse and broke a finger. Instead, the villain first filed a complaint, saying that he was wantonly bullied by King Qin's cronies.

To put it simply, Du Ruhui is a descendant of Jingzhao Du's family, the first-class family with five surnames and seven families, Yin Ashu... Hearing this name, he knows what kind of guy he is. Where did he have the courage to go against Du Ruhui?
Li Shimin did a little research, and soon found Jingzhao Wei's body. Now Jingzhao Wei's Wei Ting is an official of the East Palace, and he has a good relationship with Prince Li Jiancheng.

Slightly lowering his head and eyes, Li Shimin thought in his heart, he is really omnipotent!
"Why is the second brother so lonely?"

Li Shimin stood up and toasted, "Brother should know that although my younger brother has been fighting outside all year round, he actually likes to be quiet, and he likes to sit quietly and read books."

Uh, this is part of Li Jiancheng's character design.

Li Jiancheng's mouth was crooked, and he happened to see a chubby boy sitting aside, looking this way eagerly, "My nephew is strong, and he will be able to pass on incense to my third brother in the future."

"I only wish him to be safe and grow up, unlike Erlang who died young and cut off the incense of the fifth younger brother."

In the confrontation of words, Li Jiancheng tried something, but was resolutely counterattacked and even ridiculed by Li Shimin... The former's face changed again and again, and he turned away without even drinking.

That little chubby dun'er was Li Shimin's second son, Li Tai, who was canonized as the king of Yidu after his birth, but was granted the title of King of Wei the following year and granted the title of Shangzhu Kingdom.

The reason why he was named King of Wei during the reign of Wude was because the sage Li Yuan appointed Li Tai to inherit the incense of Li Yuan's third son Li Xuanba... Li Xuanba died early and was posthumously named King of Wei in the first year of Wude.

Li Jiancheng pointed out this matter, just to point out, if father intends to make you replace me, how can you let your second son inherit the incense of third brother Li Xuanba?

Faced with Li Jiancheng's provocation, Li Shimin pulled out his second son, Li Kuan... Like Li Tai, Li Kuan was also appointed by Li Yuan to inherit the incense of Chu King Li Zhiyun, but Li Kuan died young and had been dead for two years.

Pulling out Li Zhiyun was a blatant mockery of Li Jiancheng... When Li Yuan was preparing to raise an army, Li Jiancheng fled from Hedong and returned to Taiyuan, leaving Li Zhiyun who was also in Hedong behind.

In the end, 14-year-old Li Zhiyun was captured alive and sent to Chang'an to be killed.

This matter once caused a stir within the Li family, and many people had quite objections to Li Jiancheng because of this matter.

Li Shimin took out Li Zhiyun and slapped him in the face... Li Jiancheng didn't even have the face to fight back.

Li Yuan at the front was playing with a few princes and grandchildren, and from time to time he drank the wine glass handed over by his concubine in one gulp, enjoying himself.

For five years since he ascended the throne, Li Yuan has never left Jingzhao, nor has he ever led an army into battle. On the contrary, there are many more princes and daughters in the harem. The princes alone have given birth to eleven in a row. Just last month, Liu Jieyu took his place. She gave birth to the No.16 son Han Wang Li Yuanqing.

Uh, Li Yuan in history made persistent efforts after the Xuanwumen Incident, and gave birth to seven sons and eleven daughters!
Suddenly his ears became quieter, Li Yuan opened his dim and drunken eyes, the noisy crowd in front of him quieted down, they parted a road, Erlang Li Shimin came slowly with his wife and children.

"Why isn't Erlang drunk today?"

"Father, drinking alcohol is too easy to hurt."

Li Yuan snorted, drank the wine glass and threw it away. Since the Luoyang war last year, he felt that the second son's words were becoming less and less pleasant.

"My boy is too drunk today, I dare not lose my temper by drinking too much, so I will leave first."

Li Yuan nodded casually, and took the wine cup handed over by Concubine Yin De.

Li Jiancheng was very happy to see this scene, which showed that the father and son were separated, but the next moment, his face turned black.

Li Shimin walked to the side, saluted a middle-aged woman, said a few words in a low voice before leaving.

That middle-aged woman is the highest-ranking concubine in the palace, Concubine Wan Gui. Since her mother died of illness, she has been in charge of all affairs in the palace. Even her father has treated her with courtesy and made decisions about everything in the palace.

Concubine Wan Gui gave birth to only one child, the king of Chu, Li Zhiyun, who was abandoned by Li Jiancheng and killed.

Back in Chengqian Hall, Princess Qin took the children to resettle, and told the maids to take care of them one by one. Li Shimin sat by the window of the side hall, staring unfocusedly at the Taiji Palace in the distance.

"Husband." Princess Qin put a coat on King Qin's shoulders.

"No problem." Li Shimin turned his head and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, the father and son are like this... just casually persuaded, but also risked being reprimanded."

"I always have to move around during the first month, so I need to go a few more times by myself."

"Go to Concubine Wan Gui and walk around more." Li Shimin suddenly smiled, put his arms around his wife's shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Although father is biased, it's not... not like Li Dewu!"

To be honest, if Li Yuan was ruthless, even if Li Shimin captured the two kings in one battle, he would not be able to hold the current position... Admiral Tiance, Xu Kaifu Jianya, led Daxingtai, Yizhou Daoxingtai appoints officials by himself.

This is also the reason why many people in later generations think that Li Yuan, the founding emperor, is not good enough. He gave Li Shimin too much power, but refused to let him enter the East Palace, which eventually led to the tragic Xuanwumen change.

Hearing her husband's words, Princess Qin frowned displeased, "My husband's words are too much!"

"That's right, Li Shan... Li Shan..." Li Shimin shook his head and said, "For the sake of glory and wealth, Li Dewu used secret methods to force Li Shan to go north to Hebei Road."

"The poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring, and Li Dewu's officials are more vicious than a tiger."

"Unexpectedly, Li Huairen turned his hands into clouds and his hands into rain in Hebei, and helped Daoxuan and Tian Liu'an capture and kill Liu Heita, pacify Shandong, and become famous!"

"Although he is young, he is truly a hero!"

Princess Qin didn't answer, she knew that her husband Mingli was telling how Li Shan was abandoned by his father but became famous, but in fact he was lamenting that he had made great achievements but was rejected by his father.

The two young people had similar experiences, and it was inevitable that they would feel emotionally involved.

After Li Shimin muttered for a while, Qin Wangfei smiled and said: "Yesterday, the third cousin sent a gift box, and it was Li Shan who gave it to my husband."

"Oh?" Li Shimin smiled and said, "What did you give?"

"It's two bottles of wine." Princess Qin took the gift box and opened it.

Li Shimin looked intently, and saw that the slender bottle was dotted with flowers, like plum blossoms and snowflakes, "It's going to snow in the evening, can you drink a cup?"

"Is this Li Huairen's poem?"

"He is erudite and talented, and he has such a poetic talent."

It was almost dusk at this time, but the sky was still bright. Li Shimin turned his head to look at his wife's reminder, and saw large snowflakes fluttering in, completely covering the blurry Tai Chi Palace in the distance.

"Put two plates of side dishes, and try the two bottles of wine that Huairen sent today!"
