Qi to his father, the son received the holy decree of his father and was ordered to enter the king of Jingqin. Now that he has successfully killed the rebels, he has come to give his father an order. Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"Today, thanks to Li Ke, the king of Qi, who has dealt a heavy blow to the rebels, can we ensure that Chang'an City is safe. Now that you have done such a great thing, I wonder how you are going to let me reward you? Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Father, the ancients often said that wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women. However, Erchen felt that the first half of the sentence was a little redundant, and only this drunken beauty kneeling was true. Li Ke said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"You mean to let me reward you with a few beautiful women?" Li Shimin said with an unkind face.

Don't talk about the generation of emperor Li Shimin, even if it is any Lao Tzu, he will definitely not want to hear his son say this.

But Li Ke said with an indifferent expression: "Father, this beauty is not given by the father to the son, but needs to be pursued by the son." ”

"Erchen will never rely on the identity of the prince to do the thing of robbing the people's daughters. The beauty that the son wants must be willing and willing to stay by the side of the son. ”

"But this pursuit of beauty is a money-paying deal, so Erchen hopes that his father can give Erchen a money-making deal."

"The wine and wealth are all available now, and I don't know why I have a son like you." Li Shimin shook his head and said.

"Father, your knees are full of children, all of them are golden branches and jade leaves. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a contemporary unicorn, so it is not a big deal to let his sons be a carefree prince. Li Ke said with a smile.

"Now I am preparing to renovate Chang'an City, and the renovation plan has been taken care of by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As for the construction part, I will ask the Ministry of Works to hand it over to you. Li Shimin said helplessly.

Seeing the father and son singing and harmonizing, the eldest grandson Wuji on one side was already sweating.

The eldest grandson Wuji is not a stupid person, he naturally heard it from Li Shimin and Li Ke's words. The plan that he thinks is seamless has long been perceived by Li Shimin.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to send the holy decree to Li Ke in advance, in order to shut himself up in the Taiji Palace. As for what Li Shimin said, he had already received the news, and it was absolutely nonsense.

However, what reassured the eldest grandson Wuji was that Li Shimin was not ready to pursue anything. But in and out of the words, it seems to be beating himself.

So today's eldest grandson Wuji is very quiet, it is definitely the eyes and nose, the nose and the mouth, and the mouth care. As if the affairs of the court had nothing to do with him.

……

Li Shimin's transformation of Chang'an City was first of all Chang'an East City, a gathering place for the rich. The goods sold here are luxury goods, which are not affordable for ordinary people.

Therefore, Li Ke's idea of building Chang'an East City is naturally to make it as prosperous as possible. Although this will invest a lot of money, Li Ke will not feel distressed at all.

And because the whole project needs to buy cement cutting steel bars from Li Ke's hands. Even the bricks for filling need to be purchased from Li Ke's hands.

Of course, on the surface, these were bought from the Cabinet of Curiosities. And Li Ke made just a little money. So even if someone wants to say something, they may not be able to find a reason.

In this way, Li Ke worked in Chang'an City for a whole year. Not only did Chang'an East City rebuild, but even the market for the people of Chang'an West City was rebuilt.

Just when Chang'an East City and Chang'an West City were completed, Li Shimin received a piece of news that he had long expected.

That is, Hou Jun's army was defeated, and at least half of the 100,000 army was lost. The remaining remnants of the defeated army have already returned to the land of the Tang Dynasty. Now he is lingering at Yumen Pass.

However, Murong Shiyun, the Khan of Tuyuhun, did not give up. He personally led 200,000 cavalry to attack Yumen Pass, and threatened to set foot in Chang'an City and capture Li Shimin.

This couldn't help but make Li Shimin furious, and asked in the Taiji Hall who was willing to take command for the Tang Dynasty and defeat Tuyuhun.

How could it be that the veterans of the court were all old and decrepit, even if they went to Yumen Pass, they might not be able to defeat Murong Shiyun.

Just when everyone bowed their heads and was silent, Cheng Yanjin opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, since no one wants to lead the troops in command, it is better to let me Cheng Yanjin go for the emperor." ”

As soon as Cheng Yanjin's words fell, Wei Zheng came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, although Lu Guogong is a world-renowned martial artist, he is too old to be able to perform this position. ”

"The minister felt that the emperor should invite Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, to come out of the mountain. Let him take command of the emperor's troops again and relieve the danger of Yumen Pass. ”

"I said Wei Zheng, I Cheng Biting Jin is old, is he Wei Guogong Li Jing younger than me?" Cheng Biting Jin asked reluctantly.

"Although Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, is old, it may not be possible for the two armies to fight in front of the battle. However, it is absolutely not a problem to sit in the army and dispatch troops. ”

"As for Lu Guogong, he can be a front-line Zhengyin pioneer officer. With the cooperation of Lu Guogong and Wei Guogong, it is not difficult to defeat Tuyuhun. Wei Zheng said.

Li Shimin nodded, and then ordered someone to go and invite Li Jing. It is hoped that Li Jing can return to the command of the three armies and defend the Tang Dynasty against foreign enemies.

But when you came in, you postponed it on the grounds that you were old. And said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, since the ancient road, the back waves of the Yangtze River have pushed the front waves. ”

"It's time for the juniors to show their heads. We can't let them enjoy peace and prosperity under the protection of our old fellows. ”

"Then I don't know who Wei Guogong thinks can command the three armies?" Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked Li Jing.

"Your Majesty, a year ago, 20,000 private troops of the Zheng family in Xingyang besieged Chang'an City. It was His Royal Highness the King of Qi who led 2,000 forbidden troops and killed them all outside Chang'an City. ”

"Therefore, the minister thinks that with His Royal Highness the King of Qi commanding the three armies, he will definitely be able to let Tuyuhun flee from the wind!" Li Jing opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"I said Li Jing, you are really virtuous and do not avoid relatives. Li Ke, the king of Qi, is your uncle, if you recommend your uncle to the emperor like this, aren't you afraid that others will say that you are favoritism? Cheng Yanjin said with a laugh.

"I, Li Jing, am a fair and upright person, and since I followed the emperor to fight in the south and the north, I have never done anything for personal gain."

"If you think that His Royal Highness King Qi is not worthy of commanding the three armies, then it is better to have a battle of the three armies outside this Taiji Hall today." Li Jing opened his mouth and said to Cheng Yanjin.

"Well, that's a good idea. Immediately ordered someone to pass on the king of Qi Li Ke to see him. And all of you here can also call your children and grandchildren over. ”

"Today, let's have a ring outside this Tai Chi Hall to win the handsome. The winner will be the generalissimo of the three armies. Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity to select talents for the imperial court. However, this matter cannot be so hasty, it is better for the emperor to issue a notice and recruit strange people to the world. Wei Zheng opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.
