bastard seizes tang

Chapter 685
The ambition of a young man is naturally to be done by himself, how can he pretend to be someone else, even if this person is his own parent and child.

At that time, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was defeated for the first time in his Eastern Expedition, and his troops were lost. At that time, Li Shimin was just a young man with his hair tied up and full of vigor. , The ambition to be ashamed before the snow, and only then has today's move.

Li Ke knew that Li Shimin's mind had been made up, so he didn't do much to dissuade him. Instead, he followed Li Shimin's wishes and just recommended Xue Rengui to Li Shimin.

Li Ke recommended Xue Rengui to Li Shimin, not only out of consideration for Li Shimin's safety, but also his own considerations.

Because Xue Rengui was appreciated by Li Ke in this life, he became an official earlier and became famous earlier. He was only in his twenties, and he was already in the important position of General You Xiaowei, the fourth grade inspection school, but the battlefield in Liaodong should have been Where Xue Rengui became famous in the first battle, if this young white-robed general was missing, there would be two more regrets, so Li Ke recommended Xue Rengui in front of Li Shimin.

Li Ke came out of Ganlu Hall and returned to Cheng'en Hall of East Palace. At this time, Wu Meiniang had been waiting in the palace for a long time.

Li Ke and Wu Meiniang have two sons in total. The eldest son, Li Feng, Prince of Wugong County, was born in the 11th year of Zhenguan and is now six years old. The second son, Li Wei, was born in the 14th year of Zhenguan and is only three years old.

"Did you study today?" Li Ke saw Li Fan and asked.

Li Fan is six years old, and it would be the most fun time to be in an ordinary family, but Li Fan, as the eldest son of the prince, has reached the age of school, and now Li Fan has to go to Hongwen Hall with Di Renjie to study every day, when Li Ke saw him Li Xuan asked about this.

Li Fan replied: "My son and elder brother Huaiying have already studied in Hongwen Library today, and I just came back."

Li Ke said: "That's good. If you have any questions about what you learn every day, you can ask the master in Hongwenguan for advice. If it is inconvenient, you can also ask Huaiying. Huaiying is older than you and has learned a lot."

"What father said is true." Li Fan heard the words and agreed.

Li Ke looked at Li Fan's well-behaved appearance, felt distressed in his heart, stepped forward and gently pinched his cheek, and said to Li Fan: "Okay, I have something to say to my father and your aunt, you and Aunt Jin took brother Go out and play."

Although Jin'er is only Wu Meiniang's personal maid, she is also relied on by Wu Meiniang. She has been with Wu Meiniang for many years and watched Li Fan grow up, so Li Fan also calls Jin'er Aunt Jin.

"Okay, let's go now." Hearing Li Ke's words, Li Fan immediately cheered up, took Adi's hand and left Cheng'en Hall.

Wu Meiniang watched Li Fan go out with a look of relief, and complained to Li Ke on the side: "Seeing that you keep an eye on her every day, now you look relieved when you go out to play."

Li Ke said with a smile: "Jin'er is the eldest son of you and me, and he will follow me in the future as the State Reserve. Naturally, he must be stricter."

Wu Meiniang said: "Then I don't see you taking him to practice bow and horse. Huan'er is still young, you should spend more time with him as a father. You don't have free time on weekdays, so you should take him with you every day when you practice martial arts. Bar."

Li Ke said: "I didn't intentionally not take Yan'er to practice martial arts. As a man, Yan'er should be familiar with bow and horse. But to practice martial arts, you only need to strengthen your body, and you can't take martial arts too seriously."

Wu Meiniang heard the words, and asked inexplicably: "Father ascended to the throne by virtue of military merits, Sanlang, you are also favored by your father because of this, but why don't you want to let your son attach importance to martial arts?"

Li Ke explained: "One piece of literature and one military force are like one yin and one yang. The harmony of yin and yang can ensure the prosperity of the country. My grandfather, my father and I were all born in the army. Er Jingping Siyi, when the time comes, Huan Er will only focus on civil governance and rest with the people."

Although Li Ke was born in the army and was promoted through military service to become the prince, he is not a militaristic type.

Although the people of the Tang Dynasty were fond of martial arts, but the Tang Dynasty was about to experience three generations of emperors who emphasized martial arts. If Li Fan also valued martial arts and despised literature, and mobilized troops year after year, the national power would be exhausted and the people would be in hardship. "Although a country is large, it will perish if it is warlike." Therefore, Li Ke hopes that he can pacify the barbarians, and that Li Xuan can have the ability to rest with the people, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Li Ke's words fell into Wu Meiniang's ears, and Wu Meiniang also had a smile on her face. Wu Meiniang actually didn't care much about whether Li Fan was practicing martial arts or studying literature. What she cared about was Li Ke's attitude towards Li Fan. When Ke said that, he obviously regarded Li Zhen as his future prince.

Wu Meiniang asked: "Sanlang suddenly has this feeling, but because of the fact that the father and the emperor personally marched?"

It has been some time since the news of Li Shimin's imperial conquest came out. Wu Meiniang has always been well-informed, so it is not surprising that she would know about it.

Li Ke said: "That's not the case. Although my father's Eastern Expedition is arbitrary, it is inevitable sooner or later. It can't be regarded as militarism. Even in my opinion, this Eastern Expedition must be fought."

Although Goguryeo's country is not big, its ambition is not small, and its military strength is not bad. Goguryeo is adjacent to the Tang Dynasty in Hebei. It is a serious problem.

The position of Goguryeo has determined that it is inevitable for Goguryeo to conquer Hebei, so it is also inevitable for Tang Dynasty to fight Goguryeo. Instead of waiting until that day, it is better to take advantage of Goguryeo's troubles.

Wu Meiniang said: "Actually, this is an opportunity for San Lang to go to the emperor's personal conquest. With San Lang's ability, this time Jian Guo will definitely be praised by the government and the public."

Li Ke listened to Wu Meiniang's words, thought for a moment, and replied: "This time, I want to supervise the country, and I only want to deal with things justly, and rewards and punishments are good. As for what to do, it's just Xiao Guicao."

Li Shimin conquered Goguryeo, Li Ke was ordered to supervise the country, and Li Shimin still had his words beforehand. This time is just an opportunity for Li Ke to try his skills. Fancai, but Li Ke's reaction seemed too flat, even cautious.

However, Wu Meiniang looked at Li Ke's appearance, and vaguely knew the reason why Li Ke would react like this. After all, the prince is not the emperor, and the current country is still Li Shimin's. Do what the master can do, so as not to offend Li Shimin somewhere.

Wu Meiniang said: "In this case, it is not easy for the prince to supervise the country."

Li Ke said: "Naturally at that time, supervising the country is not a good job. If everything is overdone or rushed, it will fall into the hands of others, and it will be very troublesome."

Seeing this, Wu Meiniang asked, "Does Saburo have any plans?"

Li Ke nodded and said: "I want to ask my father for an order to go to Luoyang to supervise the country. I can not only control the Central Plains, but also supervise the transfer of grain and grass in Luoyang, so as to ensure that my father's army will have no worries."
