It was already late at night, but a palace in the middle of the East Palace was still brightly lit, and Li Jiancheng was dealing with several urgent military information sent by Tuyuhun by candlelight, including the dispatch of grain and grass, the collection of materials, etc., all of which needed to be sent to the front line of Tuyuhun in time, so that Li Shimin's army could get the support of these materials in time.

Don't look at the fierce battle between their brothers in the court, but when they encounter foreign enemies, the two brothers maintain a rare tacit understanding, that is, they put aside all prejudices and unite with the outside world, for example, when Li Shimin is fighting abroad, he will never drag Li Shimin back, and when he governs the place, Li Shimin will also fully cooperate with him, and will never let the local army make trouble for him.

It can be said that it is this tacit understanding between their brothers that made Datang sweep the heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty in just a few years, and finally won the world, but in addition to the internal stability of Datang, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin both feel that this tacit understanding between them is slowly fading, and no one knows how long their tacit understanding can last?

In addition, thinking of Tuyuhun's matter, Li Jiancheng couldn't help but think of another person, that is, Li Xiu who reminded Li Shimin in advance, speaking of Li Xiu, Li Jiancheng's feelings for him are also very complicated, that is, he appreciates his talent, but he is annoyed that he refuses to use it for himself.

But fortunately, Li Xiu also did not take refuge in Li Shimin, although he reminded Li Shimin of the matter of Tuyuhun this time, but it is said that he only inadvertently mentioned it when chatting with Qin Qiong and others, and then Qin Qiong told Li Shimin, and Li Xiu did not show his intention to take refuge in Li Shimin afterwards, which also made Li Jiancheng breathe a sigh of relief.

It is precisely because of Li Xiu's performance on the above that Li Jiancheng also appreciates his talent even more, even if Li Xiu has entered the Pingyang Princess Mansion to make sacrificial wine, but Li Jiancheng knows that his third sister has always been a little laissez-faire to the generals of the Women's Army, as long as they are willing, she will not care who they turn to, so in Li Jiancheng's opinion, Li Xiu is still an object that can be fought for, and he has always wanted to win over Li Xiu, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity.

Finally finished processing the last official document, Li Jiancheng rubbed his swollen temples, closed his eyes and rested for a moment before standing up, and then moved his stiff body, and then slowly left the main hall, ready to go back to his dormitory to rest, tomorrow morning to participate in the morning court, speaking of his father's age, his eyes are not very good, so a lot of government affairs in the court have fallen on him.

However, before Li Jiancheng came to his dormitory, he suddenly found that there was still a light on in a palace next to him, and he was very familiar with this place, which was the residence of his second son Li Chengdao.

Seeing that the lights were still on in Li Chengdao's bedroom, Li Jiancheng was also a little strange, and couldn't help but walk over at the moment, and the palace maids outside the dormitory naturally didn't dare to stop him, so Li Jiancheng easily came to Li Chengdao's bedroom.

Under the candlelight, Li Chengdao really didn't sleep, but sat at the desk, holding a brush and seemed to be writing something, which made Li Jiancheng stunned for a moment, and then nodded approvingly, he already knew that his son was very smart, but it was not enough to be smart, he had to work hard to achieve something, and now it seems that his son is not inferior to anyone in terms of hard work, and he will definitely be a good emperor in the future!

Seeing his son working so hard, Li Jiancheng was a little less sleepy while being relieved, and walked gently behind Li Chengdao at the moment, wanting to see what he was writing?

"In the far east, there is a land called America, there is a river on the continent, and the Amazon River is ......" Li Jiancheng frowned when he saw what his son wrote, and at the same time couldn't help but read it out loud, he thought that his son was writing something about his reading experience, but he didn't expect that what he wrote was something strange and strange, and his face was not very good-looking at the moment.

"Father...... Father! Li Chengdao suddenly turned his head when he heard the voice behind him, and when he saw that it was Li Jiancheng, he was immediately startled, stood up and saluted him.

"Dao'er, what did you write, and which gentleman taught you?" Li Jiancheng said with a gloomy face at this time, at a glance, he knew that these things were not what Li Chengdao thought by himself, and he must have heard them from somewhere.

"Enlightenment...... Qiqi father, this is when the child went to visit his aunt a few days ago, he happened to ask Li Xianjiu for some questions, and later listened to Li Xianjiu talk about these during the chat, and the child felt interesting, so this was recorded! Although Li Chengdao found that his father's face was a little ugly, he still told the truth, after all, he also had guards with him that day, as long as his father wanted to know, he would definitely not be able to hide it.

"Oh? How did you go to your aunt, and how could you ask Li Xiu for questions? Li Jiancheng couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, he only knew that Li Chengdao studied with a few teachers, but he was usually too busy, so he didn't have time to care about what his son was learning?

Li Chengdao saw that his father's face softened when he mentioned Li Xiu, and he was also relieved at the moment, and then he went to the Yellow Canal that day to inspect water conservancy, and then visited his aunt Princess Pingyang by the way, and later asked Li Xiu about which of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River was longer, and even did not hide the things about the Americas and Africa later.

At the beginning, when Li Jiancheng heard that Li Xiu even knew the length of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River so clearly, he was very surprised, and then he heard that he even knew the longest river in the world, and even the incomparably distant African continent and the American continent, Li Xiu also knew it well, Li Jiancheng finally felt a little uneasy, these things seem to be a fantasy, but Li Xiu is reasonable, definitely not like they are made up, but the two places are thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, how did he know?

Seeing the surprised expression on his father's face, Li Chengdao also felt very proud, this was the first time he had seen his father show such an expression, and it also made him admire Li Xiu even more, the person who can make his father stunned in the whole world, I am afraid that Li Xiu is also the first.

Finally waited for Li Chengdao to finish speaking, but Li Jiancheng was silent for a long time without speaking, then Li Chengdao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and boldly said to his father: "Father, Li Xianjiu is the most knowledgeable person the child has ever seen, so the child wants to go to his aunt more in the future, so that he can also have the opportunity to ask Li Xianjiu for more advice?" ”

Hearing that Li Chengdao wanted to ask Li Xiu for more advice, Li Jiancheng was also a little moved, Li Xiu was not only erudite, but also extremely talented, otherwise he would not have let him and Li Shimin compete for recruitment, if he let his son have more dealings with him, he could also use this to win over.

However, Li Jiancheng quickly dispelled the above idea, compared to winning over a Li Xiu, it is more important for Li Chengdao's education, after all, he is his chosen heir, Li Xiu is indeed very knowledgeable, and the things he talks about are also very attractive, but he thinks that these are not the right way after all, and he is worried that his son will not be interested in studying after hearing too much.

It was precisely because of the above that Li Jiancheng quickly shook his head firmly and said: "Dao'er, the gentlemen arranged for you in the palace are also knowledgeable and talented, and it is very rare for you to be able to learn some skills from them, there is no need to ask others for advice, so you don't run outside the palace during this time!" ”

Seeing that his father disagreed, Li Chengdao couldn't help showing a disappointed look on his face, but he also knew that as long as his father made a decision, no matter what he said, it would be useless, so he had to nod in frustration, and then Li Jiancheng told him to rest early, and then left here and returned to the dormitory to rest.

But Li Jiancheng went back to rest, but Li Chengdao couldn't sleep anyway, since he saw Li Xiu that day, and understood his erudition, he has been thinking about Li Xiu, and even fantasized about how good it would be if his teacher was like Li Xiu, so that he would no longer have to worry about boredom in class in the future, but unfortunately today's father's words broke his illusions.

Li Chengdao didn't close his eyes almost all night, and when the next day passed the morning court, he immediately passed through the gate of the East Palace and entered the Taiji Palace, because he thought of a way to change his father's decision, that is, to persuade his imperial grandfather that as long as the imperial grandfather nodded, it would be useless even if his father objected.

Speaking of which, Li Chengdao is Li Yuan's eldest son and eldest grandson, as Li Yuan grows older, he has become more and more intimate with his grandson, especially for Li Chengdao, the smart eldest grandson, he attaches great importance to it, and even allows him to go directly to the palace to visit him, instead of needing to report from the inside, this kind of treatment is not even Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's brothers, and it is precisely because of his grandfather's favor that Li Chengdao is somewhat sure to convince his grandfather.

Li Yuan also just came down from the early dynasty at this time, and the court during this time was very lively, firstly, although Tuyuhun had a big victory, there were still some Tuyuhun who were in turmoil, and Li Shimin needed to send troops to suppress them, and in addition, it was necessary to solve the problem of Tuyuhun's aftermath, which needed to be discussed in the court.

Finally, because the weather is too hot this year, there have been signs of drought in Shandong before, fortunately a heavy rain a few days ago alleviated the drought, but Guanzhong and Hebei and other places are still red like fire, and it has rarely rained since spring today, which also makes Li Yuan very worried.

After a court meeting, Li Yuan also felt very tired, but he couldn't rest, because there were still a lot of folds that he needed to review, although the prince could help him review some of them, but some important folds still needed him to review in person, but his presbyopia was already very serious, and he could only let the chamberlain take a little farther away to see it clearly every time.

Of course, Li Yuan could also have people read it to him, but he didn't like it very much, because it made him feel like a blind man, so if he didn't have to, he usually read the content of the fold himself. (To be continued.) )
