It was very quiet in the Ganlu Palace, and the surrounding cicadas were captured by the palace people. After a long while, Li Shimin finished reading the book in his hand before he got up from the pile, paced back and forth in the hall, and said slowly: "Ah Zhi, last time, thank you for saving my life." It's a shame for you to wake up, otherwise, even if you are given the supreme glory of the Yang family's six rooms, you won't be able to make up for it. ”

"Your Majesty is polite, the courtiers just did their duty. Jiang Chengzi stood up without humility or arrogance, lowered his head and said.

"Ah Zhi, don't be polite, you saved my life. Li Shimin said loudly.

Jiang Chengzi still lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, and said in a slow voice: "You are the Son of Heaven, the Heaven of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Tang Dynasty." With you, the people will be at peace. In that case, anyone will go all out, eager to keep the world peace of Datang with his worthless life. ”

"You kid, you're so good at talking. Li Shimin laughed, and then said to the eldest grandson Wuji, "Auxiliary, you look at the girl, are you a ghost?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Ah Zhi is smart, kind, and cares about the people, thinking about the peace and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and the most commendable thing is sincerity. The eldest grandson Wuji replied.

This person praised her without hesitation, but in the end, he deliberately emphasized what she meant by her sincerity? Jiang Chengzi couldn't help but glance at the eldest grandson Wuji, who did not squint and looked very upright.

"Yes. Ah Chi is such a good boy. Li Shimin sighed, waved to the two casually, and said, "You two sit down, don't stand." I've been sitting here for too long, and I want to walk around and move my muscles. ”

"Yes. The eldest grandson Wuji sat down as he said, and Jiang Chengzi also sat down.

Li Shimin sighed and said, "Auxiliary, you think about it for me, how to reward Ah Zhi." Forget about the princess of the county, she is Ke'er's fiancée, and the princess of the county is not good. Dafeng is also unrealistic, after all, Ah Zhi's matter involves Taoism, and it is not easy to tell the world. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since it is not good to tell the world, then the reward will be practical. The eldest grandson Wuji replied.

When Jiang Chengzi heard the old fox's proposal, his favor immediately increased a lot. When Li Shimin talked about rewards just now, Jiang Chengzi was thinking about whether he wanted any titles, but what was practical, such as fields, silver or something.

"The reward point is practical, such as?" Li Shimin asked the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji only replied: "It's better to ask Ah Zhi about this matter." What she needs, what His Majesty rewards, it's better. ”

"I'm afraid Ah Zhi won't dare to say it. Li Shimin looked at Jiang Chengzi and laughed.

The eldest grandson Wuji replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Ah Zhi is a sincere and honest person. ”

Fuck your uncle!" Jiang Chengzi scolded in his heart.

"Really?" Li Shimin asked as he looked at her.

Jiang Chengzi smiled awkwardly at Li Shimin and said, "It's true." ”

"Haha, it seems that Uncle Guo and Ah Zhi have a good relationship. Li Shimin suddenly burst out laughing.

"Ah Zhi is knowledgeable, very polite, and has no relationship with me, and has a 'uncle', and the relationship is naturally good. The eldest grandson Wuji replied.

"Ah, Ah Zhi has called me uncle, do you also call me 'grandpa' in advance?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

Jiang Chengzi smiled awkwardly and said, "Even if you get married, you will be called Your Majesty." ”

"The family is called 'Grandpa', and it's not outside, what is it called 'Your Majesty'. Li Shimin has a loud voice.

"The rules are still there. Jiang Chengzi whispered.

"Haha, I won't continue to argue with you about this, Ah Zhi, you tell me, what do you want me to reward you?" Li Shimin asked directly.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask for some land in the eastern suburbs, and I will grow all kinds of crops I like in the future. Jiang Chengzi mentioned it very sincerely. In the era of farming, good land is the most valuable.

"That's it?" asked Li Shimin.

Jiang Chengzi nodded, Li Shimin thought about it and gave a thousand hectares of fertile land, and said that there was a separate house from the former Qin Wangfu over there, and he would reward Jiang Chengzi together.

"In addition, the yellow and white things are also some last time. Li Shimin walked around and added another one.

The person next to him wrote down the first draft of the holy decree for Li Shimin to see, and he nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's it." "After that, let the Fang Sheren do this.

As soon as Fang Sheren left, Li Shimin turned around, looked at Jiang Chengzi and the eldest grandson Wuji with a serious face, and said, "This first thing has been done, it's time to talk about the second thing." ”

"Your Majesty, please. The eldest grandson Wuji said politely.

"Auxiliary, this second thing is that the third child of your family wrote a letter, and the letter mentions you, and also mentions Ah Zhi. That's why I have announced the two of you. Li Shimin said with a serious expression.

Jiang Chengzi sighed in his heart, and secretly thought: I am Li Ke's wife-to-be, and this eldest grandson Jun also mentioned her in a letter, and I don't know what he said. If you say something out of place, isn't it a trap for yourself?

"Your Majesty, I don't know what Chongguang wrote?"

"It's a pre-war letter. Li Shimin said slowly.

When Jiang Chengzi heard these words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and his heart sank suddenly. She has been in the army for a long time, and she belongs to the sword of the country. Before each unsheathed sword, each warrior would write a pre-war letter. To put it bluntly, it is to be prepared for sacrifice, to write down what you want to say, and if it is sacrificed, the letter will reach the person you want to deliver. If you return safely, the letters will be returned to the owner, who will dispose of it himself.

Now, the eldest grandson Jun wrote a letter to his family before the war, indicating that there was a war in the north. And the pre-war family letter is now in the hands of Li Shimin, which means that the eldest grandson is ......

"A letter from the family before the war?" "The eldest grandson Wuji's face changed, and his voice finally trembled a little, "Your Majesty, you mean that there is a war in the north. ”

Li Shimin frowned, nodded and said, "Five days ago, the Turks suddenly attacked Xiazhou on a large scale. Xiazhou was garrisoned, and while reporting to the imperial court, it met the enemy. Xiazhou was defeated by the siege and fell at dusk on the second day. The vanguard of the defending city was all killed. Therefore——, auxiliary, you, mourn. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his body and sat on the cushion with a sad expression, and the whole person seemed to be old in an instant.

"Then, the corpse, can it come back?" asked the eldest grandson Wuji, trembling with every word. He observed Changsun Chong again, and found that it was not satisfactory, and he had just made up his mind to replace the heir with Chongguang, why did this happen?

"The body was not found. Li Shimin sighed and said, "I have sent my secret guard Mo Xiaosong to look for it, and I don't know how to tell you." ”

"Your Majesty doesn't have to say anything, he, if he goes, he will also die a well-deserved death. "The eldest grandson Wuji endured his grief.

"Auxiliary, and maybe still alive, after all, I didn't find him. Li Shimin comforted.

The eldest grandson Wuji said "um", and Li Shimin said again: "Chongguang wrote three letters, one for me, one for Azhi, and one for you as a father." Now, both of you are involved. Are you going to watch it now, or will you wait until you find him?"

"Has Your Majesty seen it?" asked Jiang Chengzi, who had not spoken.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I read it, he mentioned you." That's why I've invited you both to come. ”

Li Shimin said, turned around and took out a letter from the desk, and said, "This is the one he wrote to me, you can see for yourself." ”
