"Uncle... This.. This... What's going on? ”

Li Chengqian quietly came to the side of the eldest grandson Wuji, and secretly pointed to Li Zhan and Li Shimin, who were hugging each other, and asked.

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said: "This is the relationship between father and son, Cheng Qian... You have to learn from your big brother! ”

"This is the relationship between father and son?" Li Chengqian showed a slightly numb expression.

After a while, Li Zhan and Li Shimin separated, and at this time the two also discovered Li Chengqian, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and asked, "Chengqian, why are you here?" ”

"Uh...!" Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I heard that the eldest brother is here, so I want to come and take a look." ”

"Really..." Li Shimin nodded and said, "You still have a lot of heart for your eldest brother, okay... It's not early, let's have a meal together. ”

After speaking, Li Shimin looked at Li Zhan and said, "It's in the hall next door, Zhan'er... Do you think so? ”

"Everything is up to my father...!" Li Zhan smiled slightly, but Li Chengqian, who was on the side, looked at Li Zhan in surprise, because Li Zhan had never called Li Shimin's father emperor in front of him.

.............................

In the side hall of the temple of manna.

A table of wine and food, Li Zhan, Li Chengqian, Li Shimin, and the eldest grandson Wuji made it on the table, Li Shimin took the lead in raising his wine glass with a smile on his face and said: "I am very happy today, my eldest son is back... He called me Father, and I really wanted to tell you how I was feeling now, so I would like to toast first. ”

After speaking, Li Shimin drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

The emperor toasted, who dared not to drink, Li Zhan, Li Chengqian, and the eldest grandson Wuji also drank the wine in the cup together, and after drinking, Li Chengqian, the prince, immediately picked up the wine jug, and then filled the other three and his own wine glasses.

You can't imagine that a prince will pour wine very attentively, and the scene is really very interesting.

After the wine was poured, the eldest grandson Wuji raised his glass with a smile and said: "Then let the ministers come to do it first as a respect, and the reason why I do it first is to congratulate Your Majesty and His Royal Highness on the recognition of father and son." ”

"Good...!"

Watching the eldest grandson Wuji drink the wine in the cup in one gulp, Li Shimin shouted hello, and then Li Shimin also took Li Zhan and Li Chengqian to dry the wine in the cup and saluted.

After drinking, everyone laughed, and Li Shimin looked at Li Zhan and said, "Come... Eat vegetables... I heard Cheng Qian say, Zhan'er, you like to eat bear's paw stewed honey, and I specially instructed the Shangshi Bureau to make it. ”

Li Zhan smiled and took a pair of chopsticks and ate the bear's paw meat into his mouth.

Li Shimin immediately asked, "How is it... Is it tasty? ”

Li Zhan smiled and said, "It's delicious, it's very delicious...!" Then Li Zhan grabbed another chopstick and put it into his mouth.

Seeing that his son liked to eat the dishes he prepared, Li Shimin became even happier, and said again and again: "Slow down, it's all yours, it's delicious, just eat more." ”

Li Zhan nodded 'um' and 'um', Li Shimin looked at Li Zhan's eating, he felt more beautiful than he ate, this feeling had only been experienced in his son's body before, and today he actually experienced it in Li Zhan's body.

Eating, drinking... Li Zhan also talked to Li Shimin about the Cui family during the meal, Li Zhan meant not to kill the Cui family, after all, the Cui family can't be killed with a knife now, and the so-called work is left to a line, so we can see each other in the future.

Li Zhan's words were appreciated by Li Shimin, and he felt that Li Zhan knew that he would leave a line in doing things and see each other in the future, which was absolutely wise, unlike other princes, who all looked down on themselves, but they were actually too reckless.

Li Ke, Li Tai, Li Su, Li You... Including Li Chengqian, these princes are still too young, but Li Zhan is different, which makes Li Shimin very relieved.

"Zhan'er... In the future, your younger brothers, you still have to take care of them more, I give you privileges, as long as you don't kill them, you can punish your younger brothers as you like, if someone dares to resist, I will make them look good. ”

Li Shimin's words made Li Chengqian on the side slightly stunned, hey... Because the power given is really too great, it means that all the princes are Li Zhan's subordinates, but Li Zhan is the eldest son of the emperor, and it is also appropriate to have such power.

Li Zhan nodded and said: "Father, I know how to do it, these younger brothers of mine still have a lot of problems, my father is busy with world affairs every day, and I will manage the small things in the family." ”

"Well... Good...! Seeing Li Zhan agree, Li Shimin was very happy.

Then I heard Li Shimin say: "Zhan'er... I've thought about it, and I'm going to make your identity public after a while! ”

But what Li Shimin didn't expect was that Li Zhan waved his hand and said, "Father... Don't worry about identity disclosure for the time being! After speaking, Li Zhan looked at Li Chengqian beside him and said: "The prestige of the prince is not enough, if my identity is made public, the eldest son is not the prince, it is likely to cause a storm in the court."

And my relationship with the Cui family, the Longyou Li family, and the Zheng family is not very good, and I am afraid that these families will make waves of this matter.

I think we can relax for a year or two, and in this year or two, we can increase the prestige of the crown prince and let the prince get more support from the people, so that after I appear, I will not be able to shake the prince's position, and then I can avoid turmoil in the DPRK and China. ”

The reason why Li Zhan did this was that Li Zhan knew that there were still many wars behind the Tang Dynasty, and there could be no fluctuations in the DPRK and China, which was the most important thing, so Li Zhan couldn't selfishly recognize his father immediately.

But Li Zhan's words made Li Shimin frown slightly, why should he frown... Because Li Shimin didn't want the crown prince to gain more popular support, this is where the emperor contradicted.

The emperor wants to praise the prince, but he also has to guard against the prince, if he said to Li Zhan, the prince has gained more popular support and cannot shake his status, then it is a threat to the emperor.

Li Zhan knew what Li Shimin was thinking, so Li Zhan looked back at Li Chengqian and said, "Chengqian, the eldest brother has a few words to say to you, you have to remember it firmly for the eldest brother."

What our father gave us, that's ours.

If the father doesn't give it to us, you shouldn't think about it, because if there is, the eldest brother will definitely cut it off for you. ”

After speaking, he followed Li Zhan and said to Li Shimin again: "Father, Cheng Qian is not smart enough, and he has been absurd, but Cheng Qian has one thing, that is, filial piety and brotherhood.

He came here today to accompany me to be punished, which is rare.

Cheng Qian is more than enough to be a king of success, and I will expand his territory, and my father... Trust me...! ”

Looking at Li Zhan, Li Shimin smiled slightly and finally said without refusing: "Okay... I believe in you, a year... I will give you a year to help Cheng Qian gain popularity, and after a year, I will announce to the world that you are my eldest son, is that okay...! ”

"Sons and daughters thank their father."

Saying that, Li Zhan knelt down, but Li Zhan would not have thought that his identity had not been hidden for a year at all, and there would be a big accident later that caused Li Zhan to have to reveal his identity.

If Li Zhan hadn't announced his identity, then Chang'an would have suffered a catastrophe.

And what Li Zhan didn't expect even more was that soon... Li Zhan was about to be discovered by Empress Changsun, and at a glance, just at a glance, Empress Changsun recognized Li Zhan.
