Nowadays, the relationship between the Tang Imperial Court and the family is tense.

The moment of open and secret fighting is coming to an end.

In the next step, the struggle in the shadows will certainly be turned into the light.

And Lu Wanjie's matter is really a good opportunity.

As long as Lu Wanjie dies, she will be able to show her attitude to the family.

A woman of a family, even if she dies, will not be a concubine for others.

After that, Li Chengqian is bound to fall into the cusp.

The family wants to cause a struggle in other aspects, and that is Li Shimin's business.

Empress Eldest Sun can't care about it, and she doesn't want to care about it.

But if the family wants to use the issue of Li Chengqian as a breakthrough, it will trigger a new round of struggle between the imperial court and the family.

Empress Eldest Sun would never agree.

Li Chengqian is also well aware of this.

That's why she dared to explain the truth directly in front of Empress Changsun, so that she could shelter Lu Wanjie.

……

After returning to the Qin Palace.

Li Chengqian also hurriedly began to prepare a gift for Li Shimin.

The last time Li Shimin celebrated his birthday, it was when the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Liang Division.

Li Chengqian didn't have a chance to prepare anything for Li Shimin.

After all, it's my own son, no matter what you say, you have to please it.

I saw Li Chengqian writing and painting there.

Worry-free ran behind Li Chengqian like a curious baby.

But when she saw the painting on the paper, she was a little confused.

"What is this drawing......

She almost spat out the words.

Because Li Chengqian was too attentive, he was frightened by the sudden voice.

He hurriedly looked back at Wuwu, a little annoyed.

"I said, why don't you have a sound when you walk?"

"Besides, who told you to come over and peek at my drawing?"

was scolded by him, and Wuwu was a little aggrieved.

"I'm just going to see...... Do you have such a big reaction? ”

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes: "This is called a trade secret, do you understand it, a trade secret." ”

Trade secrets?

What the hell?

Carefree and confused.

Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly: "Okay, you can watch it if you like." ”

After saying that, he didn't bother with worry, and began to draw drawings on his own.

The gift he wanted to give to Li Shimin was a semi-automatic footbath.

The structure of this thing is simple, and it is more suitable for Li Shimin.

Of course, the most important thing is to reflect his filial heart of caring for his old father's body.

Doesn't Li Shimin always say that he is an unfilial son?

This time, he wants to let Li Shimin see what filial piety is.

Wait until the drawings are finished.

Li Chengqian took the drawings and found Zhang Carpenter.

After carefully discussing the details, Carpenter Zhang began to work.

To tell the truth, to do things under Li Chengqian, you really have to have some unique skills.

Otherwise, some work will not be completed at all.

From the fireworks in the beginning, to the wooden propellers and so on.

Carpenter Zhang was also forced by Li Chengqian to come to this day step by step.

But before he knew it, he had become a top master in the field of carpentry.

……

Although Li Shimin advocated frugality.

But on the emperor's birthday, you have to have a decent life.

So on his birthday, he feasted the ministers in the Taiji Palace.

By noon, the ministers entered the palace one after another.

And on this day, Li Shimin unexpectedly invited Li Yuan, who had lived in Da'an Palace for a long time.

Because of Li Chengqian, the cold relationship between Li Shimin and Li Yuan, father and son, has been alleviated.

Maybe it's because they both understand each other's hardships.

During this time, Li Shimin ran to Da'an Palace when he had nothing to do.

Either he consulted with Li Yuan about government affairs, or he accompanied Li Yuan to drink tea and play chess.

Under such communication, the relationship between father and son became more and more hot.

Even Li Shimin, the protagonist of this day, did not sit on the main seat, but sat next to Li Yuan's subordinates.

Li Chengqian was also quite surprised by this.

Looking at Li Shimin, who was kneeling not far from him, Li Chengqian's eyes were strange.

And when Li Shimin turned around, he also saw him like this.

Li Shimin got up and walked over, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

"Hey......

Li Chengqian smiled innocently, scratched his head and said, "I just think that my father is still a little unaccustomed to sitting next to me." ”

"It seems that I suddenly went back to two years ago, when my father was still the king of Qin......"

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes became deep.

It's like going back to two years ago.

At that time, he was still the king of Qin, and although his brothers were there, they became increasingly resentful.

Li Shimin put his hand on Li Chengqian's head.

With a calm expression, he asked: "Then do you think I treated you well when I was the King of Qin, or do I treat you well now." ”

How do you ask me to answer this?

Li Chengqian was a little confused.

But see Li Shimin's expectant eyes.

He can't escape the problem either.

So after thinking about it for a while, Li Chengqian said: "Each has its own good. ”

"When my father was the king of Qin, he was not so busy and could take me and my mother out for a walk."

"When my father becomes emperor, my father won't have so much time to spend with us......"

He said this completely from the perspective of an ordinary child.

He thought that Li Shimin would be angry, or he would educate him a few words.

But unexpectedly, Li Shimin's gaze became softer.

He didn't speak, just glanced at Li Chengqian deeply.

Then he returned to his place and sat down again.

As the banquet progressed, the atmosphere became more and more pleasant.

Ministers offered gifts they had brought.

Li Shimin also smiled at them all.

The monarchs of the Tang Dynasty were not as restrained as the monarchs and ministers of later generations.

As long as someone toasts, no matter who it is, Li Shimin will not refuse to come.

Just as the palace banquet was going on, Duan Zhixuan, the commander of the Dragon Martial Army, suddenly walked over.

He walked up to Li Shimin and whispered a few words to Li Shimin.

Then Li Shimin's expression became very subtle.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Let them in." ”

"Yes."

Duan Zhixuan nodded yes, and then turned around and left.

By the time he had gone and returned, there were three more people behind him.

One of them is a strong Tang person, but it's nothing.

But the other two are different.

Both of them were dark-skinned and exotic-looking foreigners.

When I saw these two people.

The ministers were all confused, and they all bowed their heads and whispered.

Li Chengqian frowned slightly.

Why are these two Ah San here?

Li Shimin was also puzzled.

He asked, "Who are you?" ”

The guy who looked like a Tang man arched his hand and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the villain Wang Zhi." ”

"These two are Brahmin monks from the exotic land of Tianzhu."

"The two of them came this time to send a congratulatory gift for His Majesty's birthday."

"Congratulatory gifts?"

Li Shimin chuckled and asked, "What are they going to give me?" ”

Wang Zhi looked back at the two, and the two looked at each other.

Then one of the tall men stepped out and muttered a Buddha name.

Wang Zhi introduced: "Your Majesty, this person was a Bodhisattva in his previous life, and although he was reduced to a mortal fetus in this life, he still has divine power. ”

"One thought can make people live, and one thought can make people die."

Upon hearing this, more than the ministers in the audience laughed.

Li Shimin also smiled.

"The reincarnation of the Bodhisattva, interesting, this is the first time I have heard of it."

Afterwards, Li Shimin looked at Duan Zhixuan and said, "Go and call someone in......"

Although Li Shimin is also a little superstitious.

But it's not superstitious to that extent.

It's nonsense to say that a single thought can determine life and death......

But Li Chengqian, who was on the side, was thoughtful.

He seems to have seen this scene somewhere......
