Compared to the original time when he was left behind, Li Yuan had to deal with a lot more affairs than before, and he was almost sixty after all, and many times, Li Yuan also felt very tired.

"Lord Wang! This is the music rules and local documents sent by the six ministries and Guanzhong, as well as the food and salary reminder letters sent by the fourth prince and the county lord, as well as 。。。。。。。 Seeing Li Yuan's tired eyes, Pei Lin closed his mouth.

"Hmmm! Now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, everything is complicated! ”

"There is no way in the Sui room, the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people, the building will fall, the adults can't bear to be ruined, and it is difficult to raise troops, and the history books will definitely make the adults famous in history." Hearing Pei Lian's flattery, Li Yuan showed a smug smile, Dou Wei and Dou Liang's uncle and nephew also smiled at each other, only Liu Wenjing muttered secretly:

"Sycophants." Although the voice of this sentence was small, the whole room heard it, and everyone was a little embarrassed. Pei Lin was the first to break the embarrassment.

"Lord Wang! You have great ambitions, but you are also old, and in the eyes of your subordinates, it is time to establish a son. ”

"Shizi!?" As soon as the other people present heard Pei Lian's words, Dou Wei and Dou Liang didn't have anything in their hearts, because now Li Yuan only has four sons, all of whom were born to Mrs. Dou, and everyone is the same, only Liu Wenjing has some scheming in his heart, and Li Yuan's heart is also a little sudden.

"Xuan Zhen! Who do you think you should appoint? ”

"Lord Wang, the elders and young are orderly, and the son is the elder, so he should be appointed."

"Lord Wang, Your Majesty thinks that it is too early to establish a son, it is better to wait until the country is unified, and it is not too late to see who has great achievements and then establish a son!"

"My lord, your majesty thinks that the matter of establishing an heir should be sooner rather than later. This is conducive to gathering people's hearts! ”

"Lord Wang。。。。。。"

"Alright, don't make any noise. I'll think about the heir, so you don't have to worry about it. Seeing that Li Yuan was angry, Pei Lin and Liu Wenjing were not talking. Li Yuan knew in his heart that these two henchmen who were regarded as right-hand men had begun to have cracks, and they must also have someone to serve. As a monarch, he had a feeling that he was about to retire, and he also had a vague hint of worry.

In the evening, Pei Lin House:

"Father, now that you propose to support the son, you are not afraid that the prince will be suspicious of you because of the difficulties of participating in the imperial succession war since ancient times?"

"Kuan'er! You can think about your father, be happy for your father, and be commendable in filial piety! But Kuan'er, sometimes you have to remember a sentence, called wealth and danger, if everything is forward, then you are destined to be trampled underfoot, plus for the father for many years of observation, Li Dagongzi is generous, if he is the father, he will not have to worry about the death of a cunning rabbit in the future, the end of the lackey, and you have been a minister in His Royal Highness the eldest prince, for the future glory of my Pei family, and for your future future, for the father only bet on this! Pei Kuan nodded as if he didn't understand.

Li Shimin's mansion, Li Shimin and his brother-in-law, eldest grandson Wuji, and party henchman Liu Wenjing discussed in the mansion:

"Humph! Pei Lian, the old fox, saw that his father was a little unwell, so he proposed the matter of establishing a son, but fortunately, Brother Wen Jing persuaded him on the side, thank you. Liu Wenjing said modestly on the side:

"The prince has won the award, but although the eldest son did not succeed in ascending the throne this time, I think the prince is still a little tempted."

"Forget it, as long as my father's great cause can be accomplished, my Li family will be able to leave a name in history in the future, and I, Li Shimin, will never care about anything else."

"Childe Gaoyi!" Liu Wenjing and eldest grandson Wuji toasted Li Shimin together. Only Li Shimin knows in his heart that now he is a group of heroes and fighting for the world, the position of the prince is a crater, whoever sits on it will die, and he doesn't want to take the fire now.

A few days later, it was Li Yuan's birthday, in order to celebrate Li Yuan's birthday, and also to celebrate the ascension to the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan held a feast in the Prime Minister's Mansion, not only Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Yuanba and Chang'an's civil and military officials, but also Li Yuanji and Li Xiuning, who led the troops abroad, also returned.

"Everyone, this king is very happy today, in order to thank you for coming, this king has specially arranged singing and dancing, please enjoy it!" After Li Yuan finished speaking, he patted it with his hand, and saw two teams of singers slowly walking towards the center of the hall under the background of music. Only Pei Lin smiled secretly and poured himself a glass of wine. Suddenly, the music suddenly stirred, and in the stirring music, Shou Tao cracked. Two beauties came out of it, one was wearing a snow-white dance dress, as white and flawless as a snow lotus, and the other was wearing a red dance skirt, as bright as a begonia. They waved their long water sleeves and danced around Li Yuan, and after a while, they both fell into Li Yuan's arms. At this time, some guests had already seen the faces of the two dancing girls.

"Ahh It is the emperor's favorite concubines in Jinyang Palace, Concubine Zhang and Concubine Yin. ”

"It seems that this Tang King is going to ascend the throne."

"Yes! At this time, Sima Zhao's heart was known to passers-by. "But this is a discussion at the bottom, and no one dares to say it directly.

"Ahh Rajah! I don't know who these two beauties are?! ”

"Ahh These are the two new favorites of this Wang Xinna, this one is surnamed Zhang and the other is surnamed Yin. Today, I would like to introduce it to you. ”

"Oh! All right! Congratulations! ”

"The spirit of the dragon horse! This is exactly the omen of my prosperity in the spring and autumn! Under the flattery of the ministers present, Li Yuan pinched his beard and looked proud. Suddenly, there was a violent sound.

"Demon, watch the fist." I saw Li Yuanba's face flushed, and he directly kicked over his dining table and rushed towards Li Yuan, Zhang Yin and the two beauties saw Li Yuanba's bowl-like fist, and they were so frightened that they lost their faces and hid in Li Yuan's arms. Li Yuan was also shocked.

"Stop him, stop him!" Pei Lin stood in front of Li Yuanba first.

"Third son, calm down!"

"you! You coward, not long after my mother died, you found a woman for my father, and I will kill these two demons first, and then settle accounts with you. After speaking, he directly gave Pei Lin a kick, Pei Lin fell to the ground, holding his waist, and his son Pei Kuan held him up. There was chaos at the scene. Li Yuanba's fist was about to hit Li Yuan's body, and Zhang Yin and the two beauties were even more pale with fright. Li Jiancheng walked quickly in front of Li Yuan and Zhang Yin, and when Li Yuanba saw his eldest brother, he wanted to stop but couldn't, so he slapped Li Jiancheng directly. Li Jiancheng was beaten and spit out a mouthful of blood on Li Yuanba's face, and Li Yuanba saw that he had made a big disaster.

"I didn't mean it, big brother, I really didn't mean it." Li Jiancheng took Li Yuanba's hand and said:

"Yuanba! Big brother doesn't blame you! With that, he fainted.

"Built, built!" Li Jiancheng was asleep, and he saw his beloved woman, Zheng Wanzhen:

"Husband! See! Here's the dress I made for you, see if it fits! ”

"Good! I'll give it a try! "I saw Yang Yan:

"Husband, I made the soup for you with my own hands, you can taste it!"

"Daddy! Father! "And the voice of the child. Li Jiancheng saw a few little boys and little girls.

"You are!"

"Hey! Look at what you said, my sister and I gave birth to you! Zheng Wanzhen said to Li Jiancheng tenderly:

"It's my child!" At this time, suddenly a bloody light shrouded in blood, blood and fire appeared together, and the children were crying for help in pain, "Father save me." A knight in armor was slashing and killing them, one by one in a pool of blood, and then the knight caught up with Zheng Wanzhen and Yang Yan, pressed them to the ground, stripped them of their clothes, and insulted them, and he saw clearly that it was Li Shimin.

"No!"

"Husband, you're awake!" Li Jiancheng woke up and saw Zheng Wanzhen and Yang Yan looking at him gently, with tears on their faces, his father, his face was full of concern, and the two brothers Li Xiuning, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji were also in front of the bed.

"Big brother, you're awake!"

"Father, thank you for your concern! Xiuning, Wanzhen, Yan'er, you have also worked hard! When the three women heard Li Jiancheng's words, they all smiled happily. Li Yuan said to Jiancheng with concern:

"Built! It is the Father's fault that the Father did not tell you this time! Thinking back to the old people in later generations who pursued the happiness of old age, as well as those angry young people who were afraid that their family property would be divided, Li Jiancheng rushed to feel sorry for Li Yuan.

"What did my father say? My mother has been dead for many years, and my father also needs someone to take care of him. This is our duty as children. By the way, what about Yuanba? ”

"Oh! When the third brother saw that the eldest brother was in a coma for a long time, he said that he would go to ask God for blessing and pray that the eldest brother would wake up quickly. Haven't come back yet. ”

"Hey! Don't mention that brute! ”

"Father, the third brother has been away from home for many years, and there is no mother to take care of, and when he comes home, he will get together with his mother less and leave more, so please forgive him!" Seeing Li Jiancheng say this, Li Yuan rushed to be very relieved. After leaving Li Jiancheng's mansion, Pei Lin followed behind Li Yuan:

"Lord!"

"Oh! Xuan Zhen! What's the matter? ”

"My lord! This choice of heir is just a matter of great importance, and now this eldest prince is kind-hearted, and he is extremely filial to you, and it is the destiny of heaven to make him the son of the world! ”

"Hmmm! You're talking about it! The next day, Li Yuan went to Yang Yu, saying that the eldest son Li Jiancheng was benevolent and filial, and asked Li Jiancheng to be the son, and Yang Yu was allowed to play. Li Jiancheng officially became the son of the Tang King.

Historical trivia: After Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, he received their wives and concubines into his harem, and there was also Li Yuan, the king of Lujiang. After Li Yuan knew that Li Jiancheng was killed, he was afraid, and was framed and killed by the traitors and villains around him.
