Chapter 1208: Unlucky Li Tai
The eldest grandson Wuji met Li Tai by the Qujiang Pond, he wanted to turn around and leave, but he didn't expect Li Tai to see his carriage, and the other party also came forward very enthusiastically to invite him to participate in the evening banquet.
Speaking of which, although the eldest grandson Wuji doesn't treat Li Tai very well, and the relationship between the two is not very good, but they are nephews and uncles after all, so they still maintain a relationship that looks good on the surface, and there will be no shortage of various New Year's gifts, which is precisely for this reason, so when Li Tai saw the eldest grandson Wuji, he couldn't pretend not to see it, but he had to maintain the harmony on the surface, and personally invited the eldest grandson Wuji to participate in the banquet.
If it is placed in normal times, even if the eldest grandson Wuji does not want to go, he will find a passable reason to refuse, and even if he has time, he can also go and sit down, and it is a big deal to drink two glasses before leaving, but today's situation is special, he has just been warned by Li Shimin, and he is not allowed to approach Li Zhi again, and as a result, he turned around and came to Li Tai's banquet, if Li Shimin knows, I am afraid that he will misunderstand what he has to do with Li Tai.
"No need, I'm not free now, King Wei, go ahead!" Seeing the eldest grandson Wuji's hard reply at the moment, he didn't want to have anything to do with Li Tai anymore, otherwise he would really be speechless in front of Li Shimin.
I saw that after the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Li Tai's reaction at all, and immediately asked people to turn the carriage and leave here, leaving Li Tai standing alone in the middle of the road, and behind him there were many literati and celebrities who came to the banquet.
Looking at the carriage where the eldest grandson Wuji was gone, Li Tai also felt ashamed and angry, especially since there were so many people behind him, even if he didn't look back, he could feel the countless hot eyes behind him, and even made him feel a sense of self-esteem, wanting to find a crack in the ground to get into, after all, he was so big, the eldest grandson Wuji was the second person who dared to give him such face, and the first one was naturally Li Xiu who drove him out of the mansion.
"Hmph, I don't know what to say!" After a long while, Li Tai reacted, and immediately flicked his sleeves in the direction where Changsun Wuji left, and said angrily, no matter how Changsun Wuji said, he was also his elder, and there were so many people around, he couldn't scold Changsun Wuji for "not knowing what to do", so he could only replace it with ignorance, but the anger in his heart was about to burn to the top of his head.
Early the next morning, the conflict between Li Tai and the eldest grandson Wuji on the bank of Qujiang Pond had spread all over Chang'an City, after all, there were so many pairs of eyes watching at that time, and they couldn't hide it at all.
Among the guests invited by Li Tai, many of them were gentlemen and students of Zhongnan Academy, and as a result, this matter naturally spread quickly in Zhongnan Academy, and Li Xiu naturally heard about it, although he didn't know about Li Shimin's warning to the eldest grandson Wuji, but he could guess some through this incident, and he couldn't help but laugh at Li Tai's bad luck at the moment.
The academy's discussion conference was finally over, and Li Shimin's side also agreed to support Bahra, so he sent someone to start negotiations with the Persian envoy Zamas, after all, the Tang Dynasty could not support them in vain, and Persia must also pay a certain price, although there is no guarantee that Persia will abide by these conditions in the future, but it should still be wanted.
The negotiations on the Persian side have not ended, Gaochang side came again good news, this time Hou Junji led troops to attack Gaochang can be said to be good news, the last time it was reported that Koji Wentai was scared to death, but this time there was good news, that is, Koji Wentai's son Koji Zhisheng raised the whole country to meet the Tang army, but the result was a defeat in a battle, and finally could only retreat to Gaochang City, in addition to this capital, Gaochang's other land can be said to be occupied by the Tang Dynasty.
In addition to the situation in Gaochang, Hou Junji also reported a bigger good news, that is, the movement of the Western Turks, speaking of which at the beginning, Li Shimin judged that the Western Turks did not dare to send troops, at most it was for show, and the result was in fact as he guessed, now the Tang army has begun to besiege the capital of Gaochang, and the Western Turks only sent tens of thousands of people to Futu City, and did not dare to enter Gaochang at all.
It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that the generals sent by Yibi Lu Khan to Futu City to lead the troops this time didn't know what to think, and after arriving in Futu City, he actually took the initiative to lead his troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and as a result, Hou Junji took Futu City without much effort, and also got tens of thousands of troops with him, in addition to a large number of supplies, which can be said to be a surprise.
The reinforcements of the Western Turks have surrendered, and Gaochang is also desperate, it is estimated that it will not be long before that Koji Zhisheng is estimated to surrender, and then the entire Gaochang will be in the bag of the Tang Dynasty, as for the Western Turks, there is no need to worry anymore, after all, even the reinforcements sent have surrendered, and now the Western Turks are disgraced, and they have no face to send people again.
Time flies quickly, at this time it is already the cold winter season, and the new year is coming soon, Li Zhi also began to prepare for going to Bingzhou next year, he is young, so Li Shimin sent him a few capable people to assist him, but there is usually something to do, Li Zhi still likes to discuss with Li Xiu, Li Xiu has nothing to do now, just to help Li Zhi prepare to go to Bingzhou.
"Sir, when I leave next year, I'm afraid I won't be able to listen to your teachings by your side all the time." As the date of departure approached, Li Zhi's mood became a little depressed again.
"It doesn't matter, Bingzhou is not too far from Chang'an, then we will contact by letter, speaking of Yangzhou, it is farther away, but your third brother's letters are often sent." Li Xiu explained with a smile at this time, Li Zhi is a child after all, his mood changes quickly, and he wanted to go to Bingzhou to do a career some time ago, but now he is reluctant to leave.
"Well, I definitely won't lose to the third brother, but sir, if you have time, can you go to Bingzhou to see me, it's best to bring the fifth sister and son, although I haven't left yet, I will definitely miss them!" When Li Zhi heard Li Xiu's words, he first mustered up a little fighting spirit, but soon said with a little pleading.
Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Xiu couldn't help but turn his head to look at the son and others who were playing with other students in the distance, he had just finished class today, but he was pulled aside by Li Zhi to discuss the matter of going to the state.
"When I have time in the future, I will definitely go to Bingzhou to visit you, but it will be too difficult for my son and Lizhi to leave Chang'an, and it will depend on your father's attitude at that time." Li Xiu spoke again at this time, and when he said the end, he couldn't help but show a little wry smile.
"I also know that it is too difficult to let my son and fifth sister visit me, but I can't come back easily, but if it really can't be done, then sir, you can visit me yourself." Li Zhi also understood Li Xiu's difficulties, and spoke again at the moment, but when he said the end, the expression on his face was still a little low.
"Don't be too sad, pheasant, I will visit you with my father then, if possible, I want to stay with you for a while longer, first, to accompany you, and secondly, to exercise my ability!" At this moment, I suddenly saw Ping An Lang next to him speak, he and Li Zhi had a good relationship, so when Li Xiu and Li Zhi were talking just now, he was also by his side.
"Really, Brother Ping'an, can you really live with me in Bingzhou?" Li Zhi couldn't help but say loudly when he heard Ping Anlang's words, the reason why he was reluctant to leave Chang'an was because his relatives and friends were here, if he went to Bingzhou alone, he was worried that there would be no one around him to talk to, and as for the ministers sent to him by his father, they all looked like they were not smiling, which was really intimate.
"Of course, I'm already an adult, it's better to travel thousands of miles than to read the book of Ten Thousand Doors, and the last trip to Liaodong benefited me a lot, so I plan to go out again in the next two years, anyway, it's the same wherever I go, and I can accompany you when I go there." Ping An Lang said with a smile at the moment, as if he was saying something very easy, which made Li Zhi also show an envious expression, after all, he had never been so free.
It's just that Li Xiu next to him frowned when he heard his son's words, and he wanted to say something, but thinking that Ping An Lang was already an adult, he couldn't speak in the end.
