Chapter 057: Good intentions

After the meeting ended, Li Shimin made an appointment with Li Jing and Li Ji to discuss the matter, and specially left Luo Tong and asked him to wait in the Imperial Garden.

Li Shimin changed out of his palace clothes and put on civilian clothes embroidered with dragons, and the dragon walked from a distance, and beside him, an elderly eunuch was holding a delicate wine jug and two small glasses, followed by a eunuch holding all kinds of desserts and snacks.

Luo Tong stepped forward to salute.

Li Shimin smiled: "No need to be polite, no need to be polite." Come, let's sit down and talk......" Luo Tong waited for Li Shimin to take a seat, and then sat down on the stone bench opposite him.

After a while, the stone table of the gazebo was full of all kinds of snacks. The big eunuch was about to serve Li Shimin wine, but Li Shimin snatched it and said, "I'll come, I'll come!" ”

He got two small glasses of wine with high interest, and handed one of them to Luo Daodao: "Taste, taste the taste." ”

Li Shimin is very good at winning people's hearts, and he is very easy-going to those generals who follow him in the bloody battle. It is common for wonderful people to chat and drink together in private, and to pour and toast each other. However, today's Li Shimin is particularly enthusiastic, which makes Luo Tong feel a little tired.

Taking the wine and looking at the scarlet liquid in the wine glass, Luo Tong knew it was wine as soon as he smelled it. Li Shimin loves sweets, and his preference for drinking wine is in the history books.

Luo Tong still vaguely remembers that Wei Zheng learned the craft of making wine from somewhere, and the brewing was very good, with all the color, aroma and flavor. The seduced Li Shimin asked Wei Zheng for wine for two days for three days, Wei Zheng was annoyed, and his stinky temper came: Lao Tzu stopped brewing, and directly wrote the recipe for making wine to Li Shimin, making him want to eat his own wine. It seems that in history, Li Shimin really went to make it himself, not only made it himself, but also personally planted grapevines in the palace with Empress Changsun, made wine with the grapes he planted, and rewarded the meritorious ministers with the wine.

Luo Tong thought of this, looked at Li Shimin, who was looking forward to it, and asked, "This can't be brewed by my father-in-law, right?" ”

Li Shimin smiled awkwardly and said, "Let you see it?" I was bored at leisure, so I tried to fool around, and I didn't know what it tasted like the first time I tried it, and I had never tasted it myself. How is it? ”

"General!" Luo Tong thought about it, since Li Shimin asked him to taste it, he must not know that he wanted to listen to some compliments, and truthfully said his feelings.

"General?" Li Shimin frowned slightly, drank the wine in front of him in one gulp, his expression froze, and he said with a little loss: "It's really average, it's strange." I'm obviously brewing according to Wei Zheng's recipe, why is the gap so big? ”

Luo Channel: "Maybe it's the temperature?" As far as I know, the water, the materials, and the temperature are very important. The grapes and water in the palace are naturally not a problem, that is, the temperature. ”

Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "There is some truth, I will go back and study it." I'm going to drink it now, and next time I'll make it even more delicious, and then I'll ask you to drink it. ”

Luo Tong is not picky, and he is full of Li Shimin and himself.

Li Shimin also returned to the topic and said with a smile: "This time you have made a great contribution again, and you really didn't disappoint me." This Mo Dao Array is really a battle method to defeat the enemy, the pharmacist said that he was inspired by you a few years ago, and he was also studying the Mo Dao Array, and he let you take the lead before it matured! Hehe, you kid didn't disappoint me, even the pharmacist was full of praise, and he was ready to promote your Mo Dao Array in Lingzhou. Li Shimin looked proud, as if he had defeated Li Jing.

Li Jing had a close relationship with Li Shimin, in the early years, Li Jing noticed that the Li family was secretly recruiting troops and horses, waiting for an opportunity to rebel, and planned to advertise secrets to Yang, but due to the chaos in Guanzhong, the road was blocked, but the Li family was captured, intending to kill Li Jing. It was Li Shimin who rescued Li Jing from the knife and praised his intelligence and courage to admit him to the shogunate. Li Shimin admired Li Jing's talent, but Li Jing was useless under Li Shimin.

Both of them are commander-level figures, Li Shimin has his style in the army, and Li Jing also has his own style, Li Shimin has no reason to wronged himself and the necessity of accommodating Li Jing has also caused an embarrassing situation where he has great talent but has no opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Li Shimin really couldn't bear to bend his talents, gritted his teeth and gave up Li Jing, just because Ba and Shu were in turmoil, so he recommended him to Li Xiaogong. Li Jing also jumped nine days to pacify Xiao Milling and appease Lingnan, and his talent was displayed.

After the Weishui Alliance, Li Shimin was worried that the Turks would commit another offense, so he transferred Li Jing, who was talented in military affairs, to the north to sit in Lingzhou, and ordered Li Ji, who was also excellent, to sit in Daizhou, so that the military duo of the Tang Dynasty could clamp down on the Turks and monitor every move of the Turks. Now that the Turkic civil strife is in full swing, there are two cattle on the border, Li Jing and Li Shiji, and there is no need to worry about the safety of the frontier.

Li Jing has both eloquence and ambition, and when he arrived in Lingzhou, he was thinking of dealing with the Turks. Historically, when Li Jing was also in charge of Lingzhou, according to the advantages and disadvantages of the Turkic and Tang soldiers. Invented the Mo knife method of warfare.

Because of Luo Tong, Mo Dao entered his eyes early, and after thinking of the possibility of Mo Dao Military Formation, he vigorously studied it, but he, the original creator, had not yet completed it, and Luo Tong had come out of Mo Dao Array in advance here.

Li Shimin and Li Jing, Li Ji, Zhang Gongjin has been correspondence, learned of today's gambling fight, so he returned to the dynasty early to observe, just now when communicating with Li Shimin, Luo Tong's version of the Mo Dao Array was highly respected, and did not intend to bother to study. After returning to Lingzhou, he directly put the Mo Dao Array Combat Method researched by Li Shimin and Luo Tong into training.

Li Shimin was arrogant, but he also knew that Li Jing's military talent was above him, Luo Tong used the Mo Sword Formation to defeat the Xuanjia Army first, and then defeated 25,000 elite cavalry, and finally let Li Jing be impressed and stop studying the Mo Sword Combat Method. And Luo Tong is recognized as the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven in the world, as the master Li Shimin has a lot of face, as if he defeated Li Jing, and after Li Jing and Li Ji left, he couldn't wait to share his joy with Luo Tong.

Luo informed Li Shimin that he was particularly narcissistic, and when he saw his eyebrows fluttering, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he joked: "That's my father-in-law's teaching, otherwise I won't be able to get this strange knife formation if I am killed." ”

Although Li Shimin liked it more, he still shook his head truthfully and said: "I teach you to be true, but this Mo Sword Formation is your own comprehension!" By the way......" He seemed to think of something, and said, "Do you understand what I mean?" ”

Luo Tong nodded!

Li Shimin's sentence in front of everyone, "I have authorized you to train in the field, as for going north to train troops, forget it", is actually contained in infinite imagination.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "If you go north to practice, you can find Li Jing and Li Ji, they have my instructions, and they will open the door to you widely!" After the matter, do not make it public in public, people's hearts are separated from the belly, and it is difficult to keep jealous people secretly doing bad things. ”

Luo Tong was stunned, and there was a trace of emotion in his heart, it must be Li Shimin who was worried about his safety, so he said this ambiguously, "I have authorized you to train in the field, as for the training in the north, forget it."

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I know!"

It is undeniable that Li Shimin's personality charm is indeed so strong that it is against the sky, and it is no wonder that famous figures in history such as Li Jing, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other famous figures are dead set on him. Even Luo Tong couldn't help but feel that he was born as a confidant and died at this time.

Li Shimin said foul language: "You know a fart!" The Taiyuan royal family is now wishing you to die. ”

In the Wang Zi Jianlu Dongzan incident, the officials of the Wang family lost more than 50 people, but compared with these people, the biggest loss is the reputation, although the Wang family expelled these people from the clan in time, but people's eyes are bright, and they have contempt for the Wang family's desire to cover up the practice, after this incident, the good reputation of the Wang family plummeted.

Fame, knowledge, and talent are the three major elements of the family's long-term inheritance, among which reputation ranks first, and the reputation of the Wang family has been damaged, and in just three months, it has fallen into the end of the five surnames and seven hopes. "Luo Tong" is the whistleblower of the Wang Zijian incident, and the Wang family naturally hates Luo Tong to the bone, but despite this, they will not be stupid enough to deal with Luo Tong on this cusp, but no one knows what is going on secretly, and the best means of the family is to kill people with a knife, if Luo Tong goes north to practice, maybe he has not yet reached the Turkic steppe, Jieli will send a large army to wait for him there.

Out of this consideration, Li Shimin tried to protect Luo Tong, if a genius like him folded in the conspiracy, it would be the loss of the Tang Dynasty, and it would also be the loss of him Li Shimin, but Luo Tong was good, and a light sentence of "Father-in-law, don't worry, I know" passed, and he didn't know how powerful and insidious his enemy was, which made Li Shimin angry half to death.

Luo Tong said in a ghostly manner: "Does my father-in-law want to kill the Wang family?" ”

"Don't mess around, you kid!" Li Shimin was taken aback, if this kid was not angry for a while, and led the powerful Modao army to fight the Taiyuan Wang family, the Wang family would have to let him kill him to extinction, but if he really wanted to make such a fuss, he wouldn't be able to keep Luo Tong.

"Can I be so stupid? I mean to say that the roots of the Wang family were cut by peaceful means! ”

"Let's go, go to the study!" Li Shimin dragged Luo Tong up, carried it and ran to the Ganlu Palace.
