PS: The previous chapter was too badly written, so I resent it

From the end of last year to the beginning of this year, there was no major event in the country, and the early dynasty was just a routine regular dynasty, and the courtiers dispersed after they had something to do, and the ministers went back to their own departments to handle official business.

After retiring from the dynasty, Li Zhi held a family banquet in the palace on Penglai Mountain in the Taiye Pool, and all the family members were present.

Li Lingyue, who was eight years old and lively and cute, and looked like a porcelain doll, saw Li Yu coming, ran up and grabbed Li Yu's hand and said coquettishly: "Fourth brother, you didn't come back during the New Year, and the little sister didn't have any New Year's flavor at all." ”

"The fourth brother is back now, and the taste of the New Year has naturally been brought to the little sister."

Li Yu pinched Ling Yue's Xiaoqiong nose and smiled.

"What about the New Year's flavor?"

Ling Yue stretched out her little hand to beg for it, Li Yunuo couldn't take out anything, and it was estimated that the bright little face of spring would immediately turn cloudy.

Li Yu took out a yellow diamond that shimmered yellow in the sunlight and was the size of a pigeon's egg from his sleeve and placed it in Ling Yue's palm.

Li Lingyue immediately exclaimed, and rushed to Li Zhi and Empress Wu in a few steps and exclaimed: "Father, mother, look at the gem that the fourth brother gave me......

Li Yu really wanted to correct his little sister, this is called a yellow diamond, which is much more expensive than a gemstone. Thinking that there was no distinction between gems and diamonds in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yu dispelled this idea, in fact, without modern testing equipment, it is difficult to distinguish between them with the naked eye.

This yellow diamond was mined by Xun Jinwei last year when he was exploring gold mines in Laizhou, the color is bright and flawless, and the yellow diamond is extremely rare in nature, so large even in the future generations are extremely rare, extremely precious.

After being carefully carved by the skilled craftsmen of Fuchu, the reflection effect is better under the sun, which is very attractive to women.

It couldn't be better as a belated New Year's gift for my little sister.

Empress Wu glanced at the big diamond in the palm of her beloved daughter's hand, pressed her beloved daughter's forehead and said angrily: "You became a little money fan at such a young age, and you will have it when you grow up." ”

Li Zhi and his five sons couldn't help but laugh.

Empress Wu, who has seen a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, naturally knows the preciousness of this yellow diamond, and so far in the palace treasury, she has never seen a yellow diamond that is even smaller than this.

But the little Li Lingyue doesn't know the geometry of wealth, she only knows that this diamond is very beautiful in the sun, maybe it looks better to make it into a pendant and hang it around her neck.

"Father, mother, ......"

Li Yu took the gift of his son to meet his parents.

"Come to my mother's side, I haven't seen you for a year, Siyang, you are a lot darker than last year." Empress Wu pulled Li Yu up and sat beside him, looking at him with a smile.

"Fighting on the battlefield can exercise people's physique, Si Yang has a strong body since he was a child, rarely gets sick, has been with the army generals for several years in the frontier, and has repeatedly led the army to fight for the country to quell the rebellion, and he really has the posture of a general."

Li Zhi looked at his fourth son, Li Yu, who was strong and heroic, and was very pleased.

"Father, mother, you are a little embarrassed to praise the child, the child's little arms and legs are still far from the general. When leading the army to fight, the children were in the rear, listening to the advice of the generals to enter the army, and the victory in the battle with the enemy was won by Li Shangdan, Xue Ne and other soldiers who were loyal and brave and fought bravely to kill the enemy. ”

Li Yu said humbly with some embarrassment.

Since the battles of Anshi and Shimen, Li Yu has never personally led his troops to kill the enemy. From then on, every time there was a battle formation, he would be in command in the rear and not easily involved in danger.

……

When Li Yu was chatting happily with the brothers, Li Xian said admiringly: "Fourth brother, do you know? When the news came that you were leading the army against Silla, it scared us. When the good news came back, we were even more incredulous. I think that the imperial court originally mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops before and after the destruction of Goguryeo, and it took dozens of famous generals more than ten years to achieve. Although Silla was not as strong as Goguryeo, it was a kingdom that survived the attacks of Goguryeo and Baekje. In just half a year, the fourth brother repeatedly defeated the enemy army and swept through Silla, killed the treacherous rebels, and straightened the Silla Gangchang, so that the brother was really suited, and they all wanted to wear armor like the fourth brother to spread the prestige of our country. ”

As the only one of the five brothers who is like-minded with Li Yu in many aspects such as personality, physique, and temperament, Li Xian is quite envious of Li Yu, who is unrestrained and unrestrained in the frontier, instead of staying in Liangjing all day long.

Li Xulun, who was only eleven years old, even shouted with chicken legs in his hand: "Fourth brother, take me to Andong to conquer Dongyi, I am tired of staying in the palace of Liangjing......"

"It's not fun to fight and kill all day long......"

Li Xian muttered.

As the eldest brother, Li Hong also appreciated the achievements made by the fourth brother for the country in recent years, and was a little envious of the fourth brother's strong body that was not entangled by illness.

Li Hong laughed and feasted with his brothers on the surface, but he was very worried about the root cause of his illness in his heart, and the disease in his body began at the age of seven or eight, and he did not see a cure for many years, and gradually had a serious trend with age.

Li Zhi was anxious to marry Li Hong, in addition to Li Hong's age, Li Hong's illness became more and more serious, so he thought of using the newlywed to eliminate the illness.

"Brothers, you praise it."

Li Yu pecked a standard of wine and modestly talked about the root cause of his success in the battle against Silla: "If my brother is good at fighting, it is actually Silla who despises our army, so I used the advice of the subordinate general Hei Tooth Changzhi to deliberately show weakness to lure the enemy into depth, and then annihilate him." Defeat the northern defense line of Silla with Silla troops and surrender to the city, and the navy will attack the southern coast of Silla to contain it......"

"Hahaha......"

Li Zhi stroked his beard and smiled: "Si Yan, you are showing off your wit, being good at using people, and commanding well." ”

"Father, you have wronged the child, I just stained the merits of the soldiers under my command, but I have no capital to show off."

"That's it."

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "You pacify the rebellion of Silla Kim Pharmin, support the obedient Queen of Silla, and solve the troubles in the eastern part of the country." For such a great achievement, the Father has not rewarded you, what reward do you want? ”

Empress Wu hugged her beloved daughter snuggled in her arms and saw Li Yu stirring her brains for the reward, and kindly reminded: "Si Yan, your actual seal reaches 2,000 households, ranking first among the kings, and in the actual seal, according to the court system, it is impossible to increase it for you." ”

"Mother, the child knows."

Li Yu disdains the real seal in his heart, and collects so much land property tax every year is only a few big copper plates? It is better to give more benefits to Anton affairs and immigration.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yu asked: "Father, mother, can the child be allowed to mint money in Anton?" In addition, can the local government order the local government to arrest the idle and unemployed prodigal sons, displaced people, runaways, and official slaves in society, and the Andong Pioneer Group, which has been handed over to the children by the victims of various disasters in various places, to move to the new overseas frontiers? ”

Li Zhi and Empress Wu thought that Si Yang might ask for a large amount of money, knowing that their son spent a lot of money on the war against Silla and emigrating overseas last year, which made Si Yang's finances a little tight, and he definitely needed a large amount of reward and was in a hurry.

The husband and wife didn't expect Li Yu to have the right to mint money, and they also asked the court to help him collect immigrants.
