"Childe, sir, please come into the house and talk. The lord is waiting for you in the living room at this time, so you can come with the little one. After a short time, the subordinate who went in to report had already trotted all the way back to the front of the gate, and then opened the middle door and said respectfully to Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji nodded, and followed the subordinate into Li Yuan's mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, Li Yuanji felt that his mansion was like a thatched house for people to compared to his father's. The mansion where Li Yuan lived was built according to the specifications of Tang Guogong, and the entire mansion was magnificent. Although the entire mansion is in the most lively and prosperous area of Chang'an City, after the vermilion gate behind him is closed, all the noisy sounds are isolated from the high wall Zhumen, and the entire courtyard has a quiet and quiet elegant feeling.

Li Yuanji followed his subordinates to the living room on the Tang Guogong Mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his father sitting upright in the middle of the living room. So, Li Yuanji didn't care that there were subordinates following him, so he hurriedly took two steps forward, knelt down on his knees and said to his father: "Father is above, the child Yuanji greets you." ”

Li Yuan nodded, waved his hand to drive the subordinates who led Li Yuanji into the living room out of the house, and then said to Li Yuanji: "Get up and talk, is there anything important for you to suddenly come to me today?" ”

"Back to the father, the child has come here for the sake of the father's previous entrustment. Now that the child has investigated the whole cause and effect, he wants to report to the father how to deal with it, after all, it is up to the father to decide himself. After Li Yuanji listened to Li Yuanji's words, he stood up from the ground, stood aside in an orderly manner, bowed his head and whispered to Li Yuan.

Listening to Li Yuanji's words, Li Yuan remembered that he had also arranged for the third son in front of him to investigate the rumors that had been circulating in Chang'an City some time ago. Now that I have carefully calculated the days, it is close to more than a month, and it is indeed time to draw conclusions. So he nodded and said to Li Yuanji: "What are the results of the investigation?" Speak to the Father. ”

Li Yuanji wanted to speak, but at this time, the subordinate who came to deliver tea walked into the house at an inopportune time. Li Yuanji could only swallow back the words that were about to blurt out. It wasn't until the servant who delivered the tea put the two bowls of tea brewed just right on the table in the living room, and then bowed to Li Yuan and Li Yuanji one by one before leaving the living room again.

When Li Yuan saw Li Yuanji's appearance, he said to him: "If there is anything in the future, you don't have to shy away from this subordinate." This man could neither hear nor speak, and had been out of school since childhood and could not read. It took me a lot of effort to train him to serve tea to the guests he does now, so there is no need to hide anything confidential from him, and he can't hear it anyway. ”

Li Yuanji nodded and said to Li Yuan, "Father, have you ever heard of this person named Sun Hua?" ”

As soon as he heard the name Sun Hua, Li Yuan's face sank, and he asked Li Yuanji in a deep voice: "What are you asking for?" ”

"Back to my father, the results of the child's investigation for more than a month learned that the rumor was spread by Sun Hua's spies in my Chang'an City some time ago, but I don't know what he wants to do, but Sun Hua's spies have been captured by the people I led the government. Even if there are one or two fish left that slip through the net, they won't be able to set off any storms. Please rest assured of this. Li Yuanji saw that his father's face was not good at this time, and he knew in his heart that what Mr. Jiang said to him was true, and this Sun Hua might really have colluded with the Turks, so he was a lot more sure-footed, so he truthfully informed Li Yuan of the current situation.

"Is your information reliable? Don't make up a lie to fool your father in order to cope with the errand I gave you, as I did when I was studying. Now it's no better than before, what you say will affect our current national fortunes, and you are responsible for this. After Li Yuan listened to Li Yuanji's words, he closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then he opened his eyes and stared at Li Yuanji word by word.

After hearing Li Yuan's words, Li Yuan swore to Li Yuan on his knees again: "Father, my son is willing to use the head of the above item as a guarantee, this news is absolutely accurate, without the slightest guess, all based on the record and deduction of facts. ”

When Li Yuan saw Li Yuanji's behavior and heard Li Yuanji, he stretched out his hand and pulled Li Yuanji up from the ground, and pretended to be angry and said, "How many times have I told you, as my Li Yuan's son, I can't kneel down and worship people so casually." What else do you say to use your head as a guarantee? Are those things worth the head on your neck? I already know what you're talking about, and I'll take care of it. Since you have handled this matter with such a high degree and ingenuity, it is very much in line with your father and my heart, and now according to the rules of our family, as long as I can do it for my father, I will definitely promise you,"

Li Yuanji was very happy when he saw Li Yuan, and offered to ask him what reward he wanted. My heart couldn't help but tremble inexplicably, and I wanted to blurt out and tell my father what I wanted to do. But for some reason, Mr. Jiang's words suddenly popped up in his mind, stopping the words he was about to blurt out. So Li Yuanji replied to Li Yuan and said: "Father, the child also wants to calm the world for his father on the battlefield like the second brother; I also want to be a general in charge of the army to guard one side for my father. ”

Li Yuan was also stunned after listening to Li Yuanji's words, because when he said those words, he thought of countless requirements that Li Yuanji might put forward in his mind: reasonable, unreasonable, easy to do, difficult to do, impossible to do, and so on. But he didn't expect that the reward that Li Yuanji asked for was to go to the front of the two armies to kill the enemy, so he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No!" Your martial arts are not as strong as your second brother, and you have not learned the art of war like your second brother since you were a child, so if you agree to let you go to the front of the two armies, wouldn't that harm your life? No, no, absolutely not, at least as your father, I absolutely can't agree to let you go to war like this. ”

After Li Yuanji heard his father's answer, he secretly admired in his heart that what Mr. Jiang had deduced had really happened so accurately, and he was even more convinced of Mr. Jiang in his heart at this time. So at the moment, he pretended to be disappointed as Mr. Jiang said beforehand, and said to Li Yuan that he didn't want any other rewards, which he should do as a son of man, and then said goodbye to Li Yuan.
