Datang Longya

Chapter 867 So What About the Emperor

If Li Chengqian's prestige is sufficient, there is no need to ask Li Shimin specifically.

Li Shimin said helplessly: "This has something to do with the seniority of the courtiers. The courtiers in the Zhenguan period are all from my generation, and some old guys can even be traced back to the Daye period. Chengqian is young, and if he does not succeed to the throne, he will not be able to deter him for a day. Got all the courtiers."

Although Li Chengqian is a prince, his age and experience are really his flaws.

Li Tai couldn't help but said: "Father, you really should go out. You are not here. Brother Huang looks at the court with different civil and martial arts, and cannot express his own opinion. I don't see how aggrieved you are."

When Li Shimin heard this, he lay down on the wicker chair again.

"This is what Chengqian should experience. Only when he has enough experience can he truly sit on the throne. This is an experience. When Chengqian can establish the power of the prince, when will I go back. Before that, I'm going to rest here."

Thinking of the strong but leaky thatched hut, Leng Feng couldn't help but said: "It's just your hut, it's okay to live in midsummer, but when autumn comes, it will be so cold that you can't stand it. What should you do then?"

Li Shimin said indifferently: "At that time, I will move back to Jiucheng Palace. Back then, I was worried that the queen would catch cold, so I installed a heater in Jiucheng Palace. Although it is much colder in Jiucheng Palace in winter than at the bottom of the mountain, there are heaters and cotton clothes. It's no big deal."

Leng Feng smiled helplessly: "You are determined to entrust Chang'an to Cheng Qian, and you will live a semi-retired life by yourself!"

Li Shimin stretched his waist and said: "So what? Now that there is no external aggression in the Tang Dynasty, and there is no chaos in the Tang Dynasty, Chengqian can handle it, even if I don't go back, it's okay."

After thinking about it, Leng Feng no longer advised Li Shimin to return to Chang'an.

Today's Datang is indeed nothing serious, and Li Chengqian can indeed handle it alone.

"If you don't go back, don't go back. Anyway, I was entrusted by Chengqian to see how you are doing. Now it seems that you are much more energetic than when you moved here."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "I figured it out, and I feel better. Although Sizi's life is poor, she was born in the emperor's family and enjoyed all kinds of treatment that the children of ordinary people could not enjoy. I have so many children, but The only one who cares about her the most is to look at her every day to feel at ease. As her father, I have done everything that should be done, and this is enough."

Looking at the relieved Li Shimin, Leng Feng felt relieved.It seems that Sun Simiao's suggestion is correct, staying away from Chang'an and coming to Jiucheng Palace is very suitable for Li Shimin.

Li Shimin would feel even more uncomfortable if he was in the palace and thought about things when he saw them.

The fishing rod in his hand moved again, Leng Feng reacted instantly, and pulled the fishing rod vigorously!
Did not move.

Li Shimin said in surprise, "This time it's a big fish!"

Li Tai also reacted, and helped Leng Feng pull together.

The strength of the two people still couldn't help the fish. After Li Shimin joined, the three still used their strength to pull the fish up.

Looking at the fish stuffed into the basket, Li Shimin said with satisfaction: "Today's harvest is good, go back and stew the fish."

Li Tai graciously helped Li Shimin carry the fish basket, and the three returned to the hut on the mountain.

In the thatched hut, the queen and Liu Shuwen were chatting happily, and Leng Rui was held in her arms.

Seeing her happy look, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

The son is gone, and he is not the only one who suffers.Since Sizi left, it was also the first time he saw the Queen smiling so happily.

Seeing the three returning, everyone stood up to greet them.

Li Shimin handed the fish basket to the queen and said: "Fortunately, I caught a lot of fish today, otherwise it would not be enough for our two families to eat. You go to stew it and let those maids go to Jiucheng Palace to get some old wine. I will follow you tonight." Protector, have a drink."

After taking the fish basket, the queen said with a smile: "This is the most you have caught in the past few days, heh, there is such a big one."

Liu Shuwen and Xiao Cai also came over to help the queen cook the fish.

There is only a firepit in the hut, and cooking here depends on the hanging pot.

The three women were cooking, and the four gentlemen had nothing to do, so they simply chatted about Korea.

"When Su Dingfang set off, I asked him to bring the spring cover Suwen. Goryeo suffered another disastrous defeat. I wanted him to see it with his own eyes, and then end his life. I didn't do anything about his little daughter, but let her go. In this way, letting Quan Gai Suwen die with longing will be another torture for him."

Li Shimin nodded his head, as he recognized Leng Feng's approach.

"The land in Goryeo is the same whether you take it or not. Originally, I also wanted to deal with them after three years, but they took the initiative to provoke them, so it's another matter. The emperor is also a soldier for a lifetime, and it doesn't matter if you use a sword. "Qingque, remember, after my great campaign is over, I don't have to abide by the rule of not using weapons for three years."

Li Tai was teasing Leng Rui, but after hearing Li Shimin's words, he spit again and again: "Bah, bah, father, you are still in your prime, why did you say these things so early? It's unlucky."

Li Shimin chuckled and didn't say much.

When the sun set on the top of the west hill, the queen came to greet them for dinner.

A fish porridge, an ordinary fish stew.

The fish porridge has been cooked for a long time, the fish melts in the mouth and the rice grains bloom.

I don't know what seasoning they added to the stewed fish, but it actually covered the smell of the fish. The stewed fish was a kind of wild vegetable, which tasted really good.

It's just that the tableware for eating is a bit cheap, probably made by Li Shimin himself.

Women and children eat fast and leave after eating.

The maid guarding the thatched hut outside brought the Jiucheng Palace's aged wine, and Li Tai wanted to drink some uncharacteristically.

Opening the wine jar, a scent of wine immediately filled the air.

Li Shimin smiled at Leng Feng: "You are so delicious. This wine was stored in the wine cellar when the Jiucheng Palace was first built in the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. It has been more than 50 years ago."

Leng Feng came to Li Tai's side to take a look, the original wine had become a bit viscous, it looked like a good thing.

Li Tai took the wine jar and poured it into the bowl, and said while pouring, "Father, I'm not good at drinking, so don't blame me if I get drunk later."

Li Shimin slapped Li Tai on the head: "How can I blame you, you can come to visit the father in your busy schedule, the father is very happy. Stop, don't pour it, this kind of old wine needs to be mixed with new wine Drink it, or it will be very intoxicating."

Li Tai had no choice but to replace the jar with new wine and then fill it up.

The 50-year-old wine is still relatively intoxicating.

With less than two jars of old wine, Li Tai got down on the ground.

Li Shimin also shook a little, but claimed that he was not drunk.

"Leng Feng, tell me, so what if you become the emperor?"
