Liangyi Palace, study.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, after the lunch break, Li Shimin came to the study on time. He saw Li You chatting with Ma Xuanliang at the door and was waiting for him.

Seeing Li Shimin coming, Li You saluted and said, "The son of the emperor sees his father." ”

Li Shimin smiled: "Come with me." ”

"Father, what is the good thing about you calling your sons?" Li You said with a grin.

Li Shimin did not sit behind the desk, sat on the sofa, and motioned for Li You to sit down. He said: "You'er, your vision is good, Yi Nan's daughter is not simple, she is a character, and it will definitely be of great help to control Xue Yantuo." ”

Li You smiled and said: "That is, the father is wise and martial, how can your son's vision be bad?" ”

Li Shimin smiled: "You stinky boy! But he can talk. He continued: "You'er, this Tiefutu and Modao Formation are very powerful, and when the two armies are facing each other, it is no problem to use one as ten, or even one as a hundred.

Tell me, if we have tens of thousands of such troops in Datang, who else will dare to compete. ”

"Father, this is very good, but it costs too much...... Li You explained to Li Shimin the cost of building the Iron Floating Massacre.

Li Shimin was familiar with the military, and he knew that the cost should be very large, but he didn't expect it to be so big, and he was a little depressed.

Li You said: "Father, it's not so practical. As long as there are 5,000 Tiefu Tu and 20,000 Mo sword soldiers in the whole Tang Dynasty, it will do. Tiefutu was stationed in Gyeonggi as a strategic deterrent. If there is a war, depending on the scale of the war, you can send different numbers of Iron Floats to the battlefield.

The Modao soldiers were kept at 20,000 men, and 5,000 men were stationed in Gyeonggi, the Northeast, the Southwest, and the Northwest, which was enough to meet the needs of the war. With such a scale, Erchen is sure that he can afford it. ”

Li Shimin stood up and walked to the side of the map, pointed to the name of the place on it, and said: "It can be set up here, ...... here."

Li You stood aside and watched with him.

Li Shimin's fingers kept moving, and finally he went out of the border, his fingers fell on the territory of Goguryeo, and he said: "Sooner or later, I will go to the imperial army and destroy Goguryeo." ”

Goguryeo is a major pain point of the Han nation, since its founding in 37 BC, it has continued to expand, and there have been wars with various dynasties after the Han Dynasty, Cao Wei once destroyed them once, but Goguryeo has come back from the dead, and challenged the Han regime in the Central Plains again and again.

Not long ago, it withstood the large-scale attack of Emperor Yang of Sui, which led to the decline of the powerful Sui Dynasty, and Goguryeo at this time was in its heyday, and did not take the Tang Dynasty seriously at all.

Goguryeo is a thorn in the heart of the emperors of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Li You said: "Father is right. Sooner or later, they will be destroyed. ”

Li Shimin sat back on the sofa and discussed the affairs of the Western Regions with Li You.

Li You said: "Father, these things made by the sons and sons, are they considered meritorious services?" ”

Li Shimin smiled: "Count." ”

"Is there a reward?" Li You asked.

"Tell me, what reward do you want?" Li Shimin asked.

"Father, Erchen has been closest to his uncle since he was a child, and Erchen's mother has such a relative left. The sons wanted to ask for a favor for them. Do your best to be a son's filial piety. Li You said.

Li Shimin said unhappily: "If you want other graces, I can give it to you." This is a major matter in the court, how can you interject casually? ”

Li You sighed and said, "Father, it's really boring to follow you. Forget it, Erchen took his leave. So saying, he stood up, saluted, and then turned and left.

"You bastard, stop me." Li Shimin said angrily.

"Your Majesty, what are you calling a minister?" Li You said.

When Li Shimin heard this, this bastard kid didn't even call his father anymore, and he became even more angry, he said: "What do you mean, don't you want to be my son?" ”

Li You stiffened his neck and asked, "Am I your son?" When did you become your son? ”

"You bastard, you ......" Li Shimin choked angrily, pointed his finger at Li You and couldn't speak.

Li You walked back, sat on the sofa, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister asks you, over the years, I have been born and died, even if I have no credit, I have worked hard." But what do I want from you?

What did the sons get? I didn't get anything but intrigue.

I ask you, what is your son doing other than the prince's brother doing something? They get so much more benefits than I do.

Did you really care about me? What did you think about for me?

I bet that even today, someone was plotting against me behind my back, but what did you do? What else is there but suspicion of me?

Think about it, with so many conspiracy strikes, if I make a mistake once, I'm afraid my head will fall off, right?

I quit. ”

As he spoke, he took out the gold medal from his bosom and placed it on the coffee table.

No one dared to contradict Li Shimin like this, he was so angry that he pointed to the door and said, "You get out of here." ”

"Get out of here." Li You stood up and went out.

Li Shimin was so angry that he grabbed the cup on the coffee table and fell to the ground.

Wang De and Ma Xuanliang heard the quarrel between the father and son inside, and they were very frightened, and they sweated for Li You.

Soon, they saw Li You come out, and then heard the sound of cups being smashed inside.

If it was normal, hearing such a movement inside, Wang De would definitely hurry in. However, this is a father-son quarrel. Wang De wisely chose to turn a deaf ear and not go in to be a punching bag.

Li Shimin was angry, but he felt that he couldn't get angry. If someone else dares to contradict him like this, Li Shimin will want him to look good on the spot, and may even detain him and kill him.

But Li You is different, really different. This kid will surprise him at any time. Over the years, Li You has made too many contributions.

Not to mention anything else, it is a large amount of money that honors him every month, which makes his life more comfortable.

And people really didn't ask for any rewards.

Li Shimin was angry and angry, but he had no reason to hate Li You.

Li Shimin only felt that there was no place to vent the evil fire in his stomach, and he had no heart to deal with official business, so he stood up, walked out of the Liangyi Palace, and walked towards the harem.

After so many years, Li Shimin has developed a habit that when he loses his temper, he will either get angry on the spot, such as scolding, detaining, killing people and raiding his home. If this breath still can't come out, he will unconsciously go to the eldest grandson queen.

Lizheng Palace.

When Empress Changsun saw Li Shimin coming in angrily, she knew where he was angry again. She understood her husband, who was a little big and childish, and said with a smile: "Erlang, who is so ignorant and makes you angry."
