Empress Eldest Sun smiled and said, "How can Your Majesty compare with them? Even though some people are extravagant and extravagant, many people still advocate frugality, and the so-called upward and downward effects are the credit of His Majesty. The exhortations of those ministers are actually not wrong. ”

"What about Gao Ming's birthday?" Li Shimin kept a straight face.

"You can do it on a small scale."

Empress Changsun said: "After all, he is also the crown prince, and if he is too shabby, it will make people laugh." ”

Li Shimin stroked his beard and changed the topic: "What about the speaker?" ”

"I didn't expect Your Majesty to come back so early, and I haven't let anyone call me yet."

"Go and call him." Li Shimin sat down and said, "This kid can't do it if he doesn't knock and knock." ”

At the same time, in the Fengyang Pavilion, a unique game is underway.

That's playing badminton.

Last night, Zhou Jinyan happened to exchange for badminton.

Two rackets, ten shuttlecocks.

Zhou Jinyan kept one at home, and took the other pair and six shuttlecocks to the palace.

Prepare to let Li Lizhi and Poria play when they are bored.

Sure enough, this badminton immediately made Li Lizhen like it.

After the two complained for a while, Li Lizhi kept pestering Zhou Jinyan to accompany her to play badminton.

Looks like he's in a pretty good mood.

"This badminton is so fun."

Li Lizhi completely recovered her previous state, bouncing and bounced, so unhappy.

Zhou Jinyan said with a smile: "In the future, you and Poria can often play and exercise your body." ”

"But I won't." Poria muttered quietly.

"It's easy to learn."

Li Li is very smart, this badminton is very proficient, she said to Poria cocos: "I'll teach you later, it's so interesting." ”

"Okay."

Poria has long been greedy, but she doesn't have a chance.

After playing for a while, Zhou Jinyan took the badminton, handed it to Poria and said, "You come and play with Changle for a while." ”

As soon as he tried to sit down, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"I'll open the door." Poria turned around and wanted to leave.

Zhou Jinyan stopped her: "You keep playing, I'll take a look." ”

Poria stuck out her tongue and head.

Zhou Jinyan opened the courtyard door, was stunned, and said to the official eunuch outside: "Something?" ”

"Your Majesty, please come over."

Zhou Jinyan had the intention to refuse, thought about it, and turned around and said: "Changle, Your Majesty called me, I'll go over first." ”

Li Lizhi dropped the badminton, ran over, and said hurriedly: "Why did you call you over at this time?" ”

"I don't know," Zhou Jinyan patted her on the shoulder and said with a warm smile: "It shouldn't be a big deal, don't worry." ”

"Then you come back early."

The waiter waiting outside the door didn't dare to look at it more, he had been in the palace for so long, and this was the first time he had seen this situation.

"Your Majesty, Zhou has arrived."

"Announce his audience."

"Your Majesty, see Your Majesty."

Zhou Jinyan bowed solemnly and bowed.

This move made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun a little confused.

The two glanced at each other, and Li Shimin said, "Sit down." ”

Zhou Jinyan stepped aside and sat down.

The room was warm, and the smell of black charcoal burning in the stove made the smell in the study somewhat unpleasant.

Li Shimin lowered his head and corrected the folds, without saying a word, as if he was fine.

Zhou Jinyan was not in a hurry, drinking the tea poured by the palace maid, slowly.

"Let's talk," Empress Changsun suddenly got up and said with a smile: "I'll go see Changle." ”

Zhou Jinyan frowned slightly, and then relaxed again.

After Empress Changsun left, Li Shimin dropped the fold and said casually: "It's almost the New Year, and your father should be able to come back in less than ten days." ”

Zhou Jinyan was slightly stunned, oh, he didn't understand what Li Shimin meant.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin said: "Although you can only go to see Changle once a month, I don't want anything to happen to you." ”

Zhou Jinyan did not answer.

Li Shimin snorted lightly and said lightly: "You go back and think about it, I won't say much if it's superfluous." ”

"The minister retired."

Zhou Jinyan got up to leave.

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Am I a tiger?" Makes you so scary? ”

"Time is limited," Zhou Jinyan said, "The minister wants to stay with Changle more." ”

Li Shimin suddenly remembered something and said, "Who is the person who won the single road last time in the competition?" ”

"Xue Rengui."

Zhou Jinyan paused and told Xue Rengui about it.

"This kid's archery skills can actually beat Shan Dao Zhen, it's really amazing." Li Shimin seemed to say casually: "I have the intention to recruit him into the palace and serve as the leader of the flying cavalry, what do you think?" ”

"Flying Rider Leader?"

Zhou Jinyan shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that it won't work, most of the people in the flying horse are the children of the rich and noble families in Chang'an, Xue Rengui is nameless and pointless, and he will be their leader as soon as he comes, and they will not be convinced no matter what." ”

"For the way of the general, pay attention to the command of subordinates, I think Xue Rengui is young and young, but he has a calm bearing, why, is it just a vain name?"

Zhou Jinyan couldn't imagine that Li Shimin was so interested in Xue Rengui at this time.

"If Your Majesty really loves talent, it is better to seal him as a side general, and there may be unexpected results. When the time comes, he has accumulated enough fame to become the commander of the flying cavalry again. ”

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth hooked up a smile, and said: "You are really special, when others encounter such a thing, they are all scrambling to rush, but you want to push him to the frontier, if he knows, are you not afraid that he will resent you?" ”

"No," Zhou Jinyan said: "Xue Rengui is a great talent of the border general, although the flying horse is good, it can only limit his development and the upper limit of the future. ”

Li Shimin was completely interested, "This Xue Rengui is really as good as you say?" ”

"Ten times better."

Li Shimin knocked on the table, pondered for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll believe you once." Recently, Tubo has repeatedly been on the side, and there seems to be an abnormality, so let him behave and see how the effect is. ”

Zhou Jinyan's mood was a little complicated, but he was also happy for Xue Rengui.

He was going to recommend him to his father, but now that the opportunity is rare, he can only push him up.

"Let's seal the town general for the time being. Departure after the year. ”

Xiazhen will be the seventh grade, and for a white body, the starting point is also very high.

"Ministers for Xue Rengui, thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Li Shimin said lightly: "He doesn't have many opportunities, if he doesn't perform well, I will withdraw him immediately." ”

Zhou Jinyan walked out of the imperial study, and his head was still a little unable to turn.

He didn't expect Li Shimin to take the initiative to ease the relationship with him.

Although Xue Rengui is amazing, but now that the Tang Dynasty has been founded, there are countless people who can recruit good fighters in the DPRK and China.

Moreover, Xue Rengui walked out of his Zhou Mansion, if he played in the future, it would mean a lot.

Back in Fengyang Pavilion, Zhou Jinyan heard the laughter inside from a distance.

He walked briskly, stunned. Take a look at the latest chapter of "Mixed in the Tang Dynasty to be a Horse Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
