I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 582 Li Yuanshou Birthday!How to make the elderly happy?it's a technical job

With excitement in his heart, Xue Rengui bowed respectfully and left.

In the study room, there were only two people left.

Li Shimin naturally took out a cigarette and lit it lightly.

He knew that Xu Fenglei had quit, so he didn't give him cigarettes.

"Over Tuyuhun, Duan Zhixuan has already fought all the way to Wangcheng."

Li Erdao,
"It went smoothly beyond expectations, and I didn't encounter any decent resistance along the way. It can be said to be overwhelming."

"But I always feel that...something is not quite right."

Xu Fenglei laughed.

"That must be wrong."

he said,

"As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be monsters. Although Tuyuhun is not a regional power, it can be regarded as a big country on the grassland."

"The Murong family is the most cunning and cunning, how could they just give up everything and go into exile?"

"I reckon, they must be secretly accumulating strength, thinking about when to give Datang a hard blow!"

"If Duan Zhixuan is not dazzled by the victory and can fight steadily, then maybe he won't lose anything. But with such momentum, it is impossible for him to fight steadily. He is not Li Ji."

Every general has his own style.

For example, Li Ji is synonymous with being as stable as an old dog. No matter how smooth the front line is, he will not get carried away, and will continue to push forward step by step.

The disadvantage of this is that it may delay the opportunity of the battle and fail to win a big victory.

But the good thing is that it will never fail.

And a young general like Duan Zhixuan is unlikely to be so stable.

"makes sense……"

Li Shimin exhaled a puff of smoke and said,
"Then what do you mean... something might happen?"

"Let's plan for a rainy day?"

Xu Fenglei spread his hands.

"What's the point of planning for a rainy day? The Tang family is so rich, it's okay to lose even for a while."

he said,

"At that time, just send another general to fight there!"

"For example, Li Jing, one faction can determine the fate of the world! Your Majesty has so many cards in his hand, what are you afraid of?"

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"It's true... I'm worrying too much."

he said,

"Speaking of cards...I haven't been to Father's side for a long time, and I haven't played cards with him."

"Speaking of which, Father's birthday is coming soon, I thought, I have to make arrangements for the old man to make him happy."

"right?"

Xu Fenglei was taken aback.

Li Yuan?

That's right...Speaking of which, it's been eight years since Zhenguan, isn't this Lao Deng almost warped?
When did Li Yuan die in history?

It seems to be the eighth and ninth year of Zhenguan... I can't remember clearly.

"How is the emperor's health recently?"

Xu Fenglei suddenly said with concern.

Li Shimin shook his head.

"Not too good. Father is almost 70 years old, and his body is indeed getting worse day by day."

he sighed softly,

"Before I ascended the throne, although he was a little old, he was still in good spirits."

"In recent years, he has been hollowed out by wine and lust, and his complexion is getting worse every year."

"In the past few days, I have contracted a cold again. I have been ill for several days, and I only drank a little porridge today."

"I'm really worried, he... Sigh!"

Xu Fenglei blinked.

"Really worried?" He said cheaply.

Li Shimin: "?"

'Cough... What I mean is, if His Majesty is really worried about the Supreme Emperor, then he has to prepare for his birthday. '

Xu Feng made a fuss, coughed dryly and changed the subject,

"It's human... After all, it's going to die, so the process is very important."

"It's better to have a smile and nine springs than to end up depressed, so I think that in the limited time of the Supreme Emperor, we must let him have a good time!"

"Do you think so?"

Li Shimin silently put away the knife in his sleeve.

"You're right. If Emperor Father really doesn't have much time, I must make him happy!"

He said seriously,

"Listen, you have always had the most evil ideas, so I will let you handle this matter!"

"There are no other requirements, the only requirement is to make the emperor happy!"

"Can it be done?"

Xu Fenglei: "..."

"what?"

"Why me?"

its not right!
Shouldn't this kind of thing be left to the people in the Ministry of Rites to do it!
I have a relationship with myself!

"Because you are the smartest, you invented playing cards, which made my father very happy."

Li Shimin said seriously,
"So, I think you should be able to come up with another idea to make the old man happier!"

"It's that simple!"

Xu Fenglei rolled his eyes.

He may still have some interest in pleasing beautiful women.

He's not interested in pleasing a bad old man!

At this moment, a voice came:
"Your Majesty, Lingnan envoy Feng Zhidai is asking to see you."

Li Shimin frowned.

"Listen, you should go back and think about it first. If you think about it, just go and make arrangements. I will leave it to you to handle it."

he waved,

"I will chat with this Feng Zhidai for a while, and learn about the customs of Lingnan."

"In this way, it is also easy to arrange governance."

Xu Fenglei touched his chin.

"Son of Lingnan Feng An?"

This name is a bit familiar.

"Yes, it is Feng An's son. Feng An is quite capable. In a few years, he put down those southern barbarians who caused trouble."

Li Shimin praised,

"What the imperial court gave was nothing more than money and food. He was able to secure his position because of himself."

"I decided to give him another seal, to comfort him a lot, so as not to make him half-hearted."

Snapped!
Xu Fenglei snapped his fingers.

"I know how to arrange the content of the Supreme Emperor's birthday!"

he laughed,
"This Feng Zhidai, I want to requisition!"

"There is also that Jieli Khan, who also wants to requisition!"

Li Shimin was stunned.

……

After half a month.

Li Yuan's birthday!

Chang'an, Da'an Palace.

A group of dancers danced lightly, and the musicians also played hard.

But Li Yuan, who was lying on the soft couch, was not interested and could not arouse any interest.

He was tired of seeing these things.

Including playing cards, he was also tired.

As soon as a person gets up at this age, he feels that he is not interested in anything, even if it is sowing seeds and having a baby, he has no intention and powerlessness.

A small wind and cold almost cost him half his life!
If it weren't for the imperial physician in the palace who is now much more skilled in medicine, he might have given up on his old life!

"Father."

Li Shimin stepped forward to offer Ruyi, and said with a smile,
"My son offers his wishes, and I wish my father all the best."

The eldest grandson Wugou also stood up, presented an exquisite mountain stone carving, and congratulated:

"The daughter-in-law presents Nanshan jade, wishing father and emperor good fortune like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan."

Next, there are princes, princes, county kings, ministers...

All of them sent congratulatory gifts and congratulations to Li Yuan.

After a while, the gifts had piled up into a hill.

"Uh-huh……"

Li Yuan squinted his eyes and leaned on the chair, whispering,
"If you have a heart, you all have a heart..."

"Erlang, what happened to the Tuyuhun war?"

Li Shimin leaned closer to Li Yuan's side and said with a smile:
"Dad, don't worry, everything is going smoothly!"

"Duan Zhixuan's army has already breached the Tuyuhun King City, and is currently checking out the spoils. My son guesses that there will be success reports in the past two days."

"Maybe it's today! When the time comes, I'll show you, Father, the first time."

Hearing this, Li Yuan nodded in relief.

"Father is old, old..."

He looked at a group of dancers in front of him, waved and said,
"I can't do anything for you. It's useless except to be frightened."

"Once this person gets old, he's useless."

"Ugh……"

At this moment, Li Yuan was full of twilight.

At first glance, it looked like an old man who was dying, and that residual lamp seemed to be extinguished at any moment.

Hearing what Li Yuan said, Li Shimin looked at his eldest grandson Wugou, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"What did the Supreme Emperor say?"

Xu Fenglei suddenly smiled and said,
"As the saying goes, an old family is like a treasure."

"You are a treasure, how can you be a useless person? Whether it is His Majesty, the Empress, or us courtiers, they are all eager for your teaching."

"To put it bluntly, you eat more salt than we eat rice, and a little bit of your experience in dealing with people can benefit us endlessly."

Li Yuan frowned.

"Really?"

There was a little more excitement in his eyes.

Old people are most afraid of feeling useless. Once they feel useless, they will immediately enter the waiting mode.

Li Yuan is like this now.

And Xu Fenglei's words obviously activated him a little bit.

"That's natural."

Xu Fenglei said repeatedly,
"You are the founding emperor! Dare I ask how many founding emperors have there been since Qin Shihuang?"

"Your experience is definitely more legendary and exciting than anyone else!"

"To be honest, these dancing girls and music are nothing interesting... I want to hear your legendary stories."

"I wonder if you would like to tell us?"

Li Yuan stroked his beard and laughed.

"A legend? What kind of legend can I have?"

He shook his head and smiled,
"If you want to talk about legends, it must be Erlang. There are really many legends in him, and people love to talk about it."

"Those of mine... are not surprising."

When Xu Fenglei heard the words, he waved his hands again and again.

"Your Majesty is a legend, but no matter how powerful he is, he was born by you."

He complimented,

"I'm not afraid to say something that offends His Majesty, I think you are even more legendary."

"Your Majesty only created this foundation by standing on your shoulders."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help giving Xu Fenglei a thumbs up secretly.

This kid is too good at coaxing the old man!
Coaxed by my father, the back molars are about to be exposed!
I can't accept it!

"Oh? Hahahaha... Really."

Li Yuan laughed, stroked his beard and said,

"Your mouth...Okay, okay, since you guys want to hear it, then I will recall the past and tell the story of that year."

"Everything, we have to start from the bird screen..."

Bird Screen was selected, and he embraced the beauty.

It was also from then on that Tang Guogong Li Yuan officially became a man of the Sui Dynasty!
"Okay, okay! Just wait for His Majesty's words!"

Xu Fenglei waved his hand at the dancers and musicians, saying,
"Go back all!"

"Light the sandalwood."

all of a sudden.

The sound of dancing and music stopped abruptly.

A wisp of fragrance was lit, making everyone in the room feel a little more refreshed.

"Father, tell me quickly!"

Li Shimin said,
"My son has not heard the story of your general for a long time! My son has almost forgotten your heroic deeds!"

Li Chengqian and Li Tai also shouted:
"Grandpa Huang, speak quickly! Grandson loves to listen!"

The rest of the clan princes and princesses, as well as the close ministers, looked at Li Yuan expectantly at this moment, showing eagerness.

How to make birthday stars happy?
That is to hand over the stage to him and let him play to his heart's content and freely.

In everyone's life, there are always a few glorious deeds.

As the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, although Li Yuan was inferior to his own son in all aspects, there were still many bright moments!

"Okay, then I'll talk about it, talk about it..."

Li Yuan is very happy that he has so many listeners, and he is much more energetic.

I saw him straightening his sitting posture, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

"At that time... I have just been crowned."

Li Yuan said softly,
"And Erlang, your mother's queen was the most popular young lady in Chang'an at that time, a great beauty!"

"She has high demands on her husband-in-law. She set up a bird screen. What is a bird screen? A peacock is painted on a screen."

"Whoever wants to marry her has to shoot the peacock in the eye with a bow and arrow at a distance of eighty steps! Only then can she enter her eyes!"

"It's a pity that there were many young talents in Chang'an at that time, but they all failed, and your father and I...we were lucky to succeed, and we won the beauty!"

"This is where you are."

He said 'lucky' in his mouth, but the corners of Li Yuan's mouth were raised, quite proud of it.

Accurate hit from eighty paces away!
In the entire Sui Dynasty at that time, there were very few people with his archery skills!
"Where is it a fluke? You have strength!"

Li Shimin hurriedly applauded,

"My son's archery is just like yours!"

"So I heard that you are right. Your son is standing on your shoulders to achieve today's achievements! Without inheriting your talent, your son is nothing!"

Today is Dad's birthday.

He is willing to demote himself to elevate his old father, just to be happy for him.

"Hahaha...you are better than me!"

Li Yuan laughed loudly,

"You boy...you have been the best since you were a child! Speaking of which, when Jinyang raised troops, if it weren't for your persuasion, I wouldn't have made up my mind so decisively!"

"Your mother is right, Erlang must be the most promising, more promising than the other children."

"At first, I didn't take it seriously, but now... tsk tsk, I have to admire that your mother's eyes are really vicious."

Li Shimin smiled and lowered his head.

Both he and his father tacitly avoided talking about the elder brother and the fourth younger brother.

"Continue talking! Where did you just say? Oh... Jinyang raises troops."

Li Yuan sighed,
"To be honest, from attacking the noble to raising troops, I really never thought that I would actually become emperor one day!"

"Perhaps, this is God's arrangement! Even if I don't want to be, I will be pushed to this position in the end."

"But in fact, I am not happy when I am the emperor..."
