Chapter 108: The Royal Nursery

In July of the fourth year of Zhenguan, this was the first rain since the beginning of summer in Chang'an.

The heavy rain stopped after an hour, and the next day, the new commercial decree issued by the DPRK and China was quickly implemented.

The price of goods has come down at a very rapid rate.

Merchants did not dare to sell too expensive, and immediately returned to normal prices.

The laborers are slowly coming back.

Commerce in Chang'an City returned to normal.

The new commercial order came out of Chang'an and was immediately sent to all counties in Datang.

"I'll just say that Your Majesty won't leave us alone today."

"How could Shi Mingjun watch those merchants do evil."

"No, your majesty is a good majesty today."

……

The people of Chang'an City also regained their smiles.

Li Shimin sat in the Taiji Hall and listened to the reports of various departments.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Zheng made a move, the problem was solved.

Although I don't like it in my heart.

But this new order really works.

In addition to being cheated by this kid Li Zheng, he is still in a good mood.

Li Shimin returned to the Ganlu Hall and looked at the battle report from Liangzhou.

Jieli led 30,000 cavalry to outflank Tuyuhun soldiers and horses, Li Daliang defended Liangzhou City, and Yumen Pass echoed each other.

Tuyuhun saw that he could not attack for a long time and had withdrawn his troops, and in the rear of Tuyuhun, they encountered Tubo's soldiers and horses to intercept them.

Now Tuyuhun has been attacked on three sides, and he has finished reading the report.

Li Shimin felt that the opportunity to counterattack Tuyuhun had come.

The eunuch came to report and said, "Your Majesty, the prince asks to see you." ”

"Nope! Call Li Ke here. Li Shimin said decisively.

The eunuch bowed down and went back to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian stood outside the Taiji Hall suspiciously, why didn't his father see him.

After standing outside the Ganlu Hall for a while, still wondering why his father didn't see him, he saw a eunuch leading Li Ke into the Ganlu Palace.

Li Chengqian left here in a lost mood, still curious why his father didn't see Li Ke when he saw him?

Li Ke walked into the Ganlu Hall and faced Li Shimin, "Father." ”

Li Shimin put away the military newspaper and asked, "What are you doing these days?" ”

"Erchen ......"

Li Ke thought for a while and said: "Erchen has been in Zuo Wuwei and General Qin Qiong today, reorganizing the army, and transferring the soldiers and horses to patrol the streets. ”

Li Shimin smiled and asked, "I heard that you were Li Zheng's bodyguard?" ”

Hearing this, Li Ke immediately saluted and said, "At that time, it was Erchen's impulse. ”

Li Shimin then asked: "Since you are Li Zheng's guard, why don't you go to Jingyang these days?" ”

"Erchen...... In fact, Erchen rarely went to Li Zheng as a guard, he just asked Erchen to help him dig earthworms and hand him tea, that's all ......"

These jobs don't seem like guards.

Li Ke went to protect Li Zheng, and this Li Zheng actually regarded Li Ke as a subordinate.

Glancing at Li Shimin's face, Li Ke hurriedly saluted and said, "Father, the son knows that he is wrong. ”

"You're not wrong." Li Shimin said indifferently: "Since you want to be Li Zheng's guard, do it well." ”

"But the sons ......"

Looking at Li Ke, who was a little submissive, Li Shimin shouted loudly: "The eldest husband has said his word, how can he regret it, you don't have to worry about Zuo Wuwei's affairs, and be a good guard by Li Zheng's side." ”

Li Ke nodded in disappointment, "Erchen understands." ”

Leave the Manna Hall and say goodbye to his mother.

Leaving the palace all the way, Li Ke thought in his heart that what the queen mother said was indeed right.

I really shouldn't fight with Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

Li Chengqian, who had just returned from Zhongshu Province, was walking to see Li Ke, who was about to leave the palace, and stepped forward to ask, "Li Ke, I just saw my father summoning you." ”

"Nothing." Li Ke shook his head and said, "Thank you, Brother Huang, for taking care of you these days." ”

After speaking, Li Ke walked all the way out of Chengtianmen and left the palace.

Li Ke's words have some deep meaning, and Li Chengqian, who returned to the East Palace, inquired several times, only to know that Li Ke had dismissed his father from his military position in Zuo Wuwei.

Li Chengqian was also thinking about it, could it be that Gu asked Li Zheng to help solve his father's urgent need, did Gu do something wrong?

Jingyang

was about to play cards with Li Tai, Li Zheng saw Li Ke coming, and hurriedly beckoned: "Come!" Play cards together. ”

Li Ke also sat cross-legged, and the three of them sat around.

The game has just begun, and Li Tai is playing cards while talking to Li Ke about how to play.

The first hand of Li Ke did not lose a card without any surprise.

Li Zheng grinned and said, "Five cents for one person, give money or an IOU?" ”

"Let me familiarize myself with the rules first." Li Ke said with a difficult face.

"If you lose, you have to pay, this is tuition!"

"Tuition, what tuition?" Li Ke looked dazed.

"You also have to pay tuition for studying, and losing money playing cards is a kind of tuition, which has to be recognized."

Li Zheng finished speaking seriously.

Li Ke was still very confused, and looked to the side, Li Tai was writing an IOU.

I was dumbfounded for a while.

Why is the green finch so skillful in IOUs?

Li Ke sat upright and said, "Li Zheng, I don't have any money." ”

"If you don't have any money, it doesn't matter if you make an IOU first, and then pay me back when you have money."

After speaking, Li Zheng handed Li Ke a bamboo slip and said, "Just like the fat man, just write down the IOU." ”

Li Ke still wrote down the IOU.

After a few rounds of cards, Li Ke gradually understood the rules.

Li Zheng has been winning almost all the time, but he has been losing money, and Li Tai has also won, but he has lost more.

Seeing Li Tai staring at his cards with bloodshot eyes, Li Ke said: "Brother Huang, I have already lost thirty Wen. ”

Li Tai played a card and said to him: "Don't get in the way, I already owe Li exactly more than a thousand times." ”

Li Ke gasped, more than a thousand?!

Growing up with his mother, his mother was poor, and Li Ke was also very economical on weekdays.

Li Tai already owes more than 1,000 yuan, and Li Ke secretly calculates in his heart that he now owes Li Zheng 30 yuan.

If it goes on like this, won't it be the same as Li Tai.

Suddenly I want to go back to Chang'an, in fact, Zuo Wuwei's life is still good.

Li Zheng opened his mouth and asked: "By the way, why did His Royal Highness the King of Shu come to me today, you are a dragon on weekdays, but you don't see the end." ”

Li Ke explained: "My father won't let me be in Zuo Wuwei anymore. ”

"So where do you go?"

"My father said that the eldest husband could not regret his words, saying that since he agreed to be your guard, he must do it well."

Li Zheng looked at the two Li Shimin sons in front of him.

Could it be that Li Shimin regarded this place as his son's nursery.

Will more of his son send it in the future?

It is not enough for one Li Taibai to eat and drink for nothing, and there is also Li Ke.

It seems that he has to play a few more rounds of cards, Li Zheng packed up the cards and started dealing cards again, and another game began.

After more than an hour, Li Ke lost more than 100 articles in a blink of an eye.

Following Li Tai, Li Ke asked in a low voice: "Qingque, we owe Li Zheng so much money, what if we can't afford it?" ”

Li Tai sighed and said, "Win it back!" ”
