Li Shimin paused, turned around and looked at Li Ke.

Li Ke immediately took a step forward, bowed and said, "Father, the child went to the Turks this time, and Yu Dingxiang met my grandmother and cousin. ”

Li Shimin's face sank, and he asked, "Is it what you mean, or is it arranged by Jieli?"

"It's kind of a child. Because my mother often misses my grandmother, although my mother did not say anything about this trip to the Turks, I can see her expectations. So, I took it upon myself to meet my grandmother and cousin. ”

"Your mother never asks for me, always silently. Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Concubine Shu.

"My mother didn't say anything for fear of causing us trouble. Li Ke hurriedly said.

Li Shimin nodded, and continued to ask, "Did you go to see them secretly, or through Jieli?"

"There must have been a lot of people around my grandmother to look after her, and I would never have been able to see her privately. Therefore, through Jieli, the child said that he missed his grandmother very much and wanted to see him. Jieli was having a headache about Tuli, and wanted to sell me the favor of Datang, so he agreed. After that, I took me to meet my grandmother and cousin. Li Ke replied truthfully.

"How is your grandmother?" Li Shimin thought of that bright and radiant woman, standing on the high platform, what a beautiful scenery it was. Now, I am in a foreign country, and I don't know how my life is.

"Although he lived as a prisoner, he lived comfortably and was not insulted. Li Ke replied.

"That's good, in the coming day, I will sweep down the Turks in the Tang Dynasty and welcome your grandmother back to Chang'an to recuperate. Li Shimin nodded slowly.

"Thank you, father. Li Ke bowed deeply.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "You kid, see the outside world like this, I'm your grandmother's son-in-law." ”

Li Ke smiled embarrassedly, and then said with a straight face: "Father, what I want to say is not actually about this matter, but this time I saw my grandmother, thinking that my mother is not very well, and I will see if I can take advantage of the fact that I have no time to take care of myself and apply to take my grandmother back to Chang'an." I told my grandmother about it, and she immediately stopped me. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he asked curiously, "Your grandmother doesn't want to come back?"

Li Ke shook his head and replied: "It's not that my grandmother is unwilling, but she said that the Turkic disaster has not been eliminated, and she doesn't want to come back for the time being." Before, Xue Yantuo and Hui rebellion were the handiwork of the eldest brother's people, and Tuli was simple-minded, and openly rebelled against Jieli halfway, and it was my grandmother's handiwork to start a war with Jieli. Tuli's deceased wife was the daughter of the Yang clan, who was once named a princess to marry. It is said that when she was alive, she was raised by her grandmother as a daughter, and she also had a deep relationship with her grandmother. Because of this relationship, although my grandmother was taken over by Princess Yicheng with other intentions, she was sheltered by Tuli. And Tuli is simple-minded, and his grandmother analyzes it in a few words, so Tuli and Jieli fight. ”

"It turned out to be the handiwork of Empress Xiao. Li Shimin suddenly realized.

"My grandmother said that since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the Turks have been a great disaster in the Central Plains. Changsun Sheng did not hesitate to sacrifice himself and dedicated his life alone in the steppe, but the Turks were divided into two parts, east and west, which greatly weakened the Turkic power. Now, the Western Turks are so rampant that they dare to invade Chang'an, and she can just control the situation of the war, and she will not return if she does not break the Turks. Li Ke said, took out a letter from his arms and presented it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin opened the letter and saw the graceful Xiaokai, which was written by Empress Xiao. What Empress Xiao said was similar to what Li Ke played. Li Shimin thought that the brilliant woman turned out to be such an enlightenment, and suddenly had mixed feelings, only to read the letter again, and sighed: "Your grandmother is really a strange woman." In the past, your grandfather listened to the rumors and wanted to behead my Li family, but it was your grandmother who ordered someone to send us a letter and let us go back to Taiyuan overnight. Later, Jinyang raised troops, and your grandmother sent a letter. She said to me: If there is chaos and disputes today, there is no decent person in the royal family of the Sui Dynasty who can bear the world, and the only blood left by the emperor is in infancy, which is not enough to deter the world. Rather than let the world fall into the hands of those with sinister intentions, I would rather give it to you, or your father. The world is peaceful, and the world is clear. This is my lifelong wish with your father-in-law, but I don't treat me at any time, I just hope that you will become a great treasure in the future, and don't forget your original intention. ”

"And this?" Li Ke was also surprised.

In his previous and present lives, he had never heard of such a letter from his grandmother. In her previous life, her grandmother returned from the Turks and lived alone in Chang'an. And my cousin is cowardly, only likes to paint, and is taciturn. He focused on his own struggles and Ah Zi, so he was very angry with them. Later, her grandmother died in the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, and her father buried her and her grandfather in Yangzhou. This was his only impression of that beautiful legendary woman.

In this life, if he hadn't been an envoy to the Turks, he would definitely not have really come into contact with him because of his mother. But I didn't expect there to be so many old things.

"Yes, your grandmother is a strange woman. Li Shimin nodded, then put the letter in his sleeve, and said, "Ke'er, don't worry, in two years, the Tang Dynasty will sweep through the Turks, and at that time, you will personally pick up your grandmother." ”

"The boy thanked his father. When he also swept through the Turks, he allowed the child to immediately slash the thieves. Li Ke bowed very solemnly.

"Ambitious. Li Shimin praised loudly.

Li Ke was silent, just stood aside, and Li Shimin lowered his voice and advised: "Your eldest brother is very good to you, but you also have to assist him well." Whether it's General Qin, or the investigation on Jiannan Road. You can't come forward openly, but you can't relax in secret. ”

"Rest assured, father, the child will do his best to do this. Li Ke promised.

Li Shimin looked at him meaningfully, and then let each other disperse. After that, the father and son left the East Palace. Li Shimin returned to the Ganlu Palace, and directly issued an order to sympathize with Li Gang's advanced age, let him recuperate, and at the same time let Li Chengqian go to worship Wei Zheng as the crown prince. Of course, he did not leave behind the reward for Hou Junji, as well as his condolences to Helan Chushi.

Helan Chushi was originally a little Donggong Qianniu, and he suddenly received His Majesty's condolences, even if he was lying in bed, he was overjoyed. Hou Junji saw that his reward was more than Chai Shao's this time, and his son-in-law was also rewarded, and he was even more proud.

At the same time, Li Chengqian's speed was also very fast, and after the instructions of the Ministry of War, Qin Ming was transferred to the East Palace at dusk and became the Qianniu Guard of the East Palace. The East Palace has added another military force.

On this day, many things have happened, and many people have undergone personnel changes. This day also made many people restless. But everything is still going on in an orderly manner.

Just when all this was going on in an orderly manner, at dusk on this day, someone entered the Manna Hall and went to see Li Shimin.
