The official position is small, there are not many money, and Gao Shilian's mother is old and sick, and she has been taking medicine for many years. Now that there is more living expenses for my sister's family, it is even more clumsy, although Gao Shilian's wife Xian Yu doesn't say anything in front of her husband, she always says yin and yang in private. Mrs. Gao listened to it in her ears and endured it in her heart, in addition to helping Xian Yu's family share some housework, she also often warned the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson Wujian brother and sister:

"If we don't have your uncle as a family of three, we will be sleeping on the streets, so you must remember that if you have a bright day one day, you must repay your uncle and aunt for their great kindness!" Eldest Sun Wuji nodded sincerely after hearing this, Eldest Sun Wuji didn't have any expression on his face, just nodded slightly, Mrs. Gao knew that her son was arrogant, and it was not easy to say anything. In the evening of this day, Gao Shilian came back from work at the official office, and as soon as he arrived home, his wife and sister had already come out to greet him:

"Husband, big brother, you're back. The meal is ready, let's eat! His son and two of Mrs. Gao's sons and daughters also came out to welcome him.

"Dad, uncle, you're back." Gao Shilian nodded at them. He also asked about the study and life of his sons and eldest grandson Wuji.

"Fulfill, how about the homework taught by Mr. today, I will test you well in the evening! Also, you brothers didn't bully Mowgli and their brothers and sisters! ”

"Father, rest assured, there are children here, and he will never let his brother and sister Wuji suffer a little grievance." As he spoke, he secretly glanced at the eldest grandson Wujian who was standing beside Mrs. Gao. Gao Cheng's actions did not hide Gao Shilian's eyes, but he did not speak. Said to Mother.

"Mother, sister, and madam, let's eat!" A group of people gathered around the table, about to move their chopsticks, when someone shouted outside the door:

"Is anyone home, please? Is Mr. Gao at home? Gao Shilian had some doubts, thinking in his heart that someone would come so late. Gao Shilian's mother, Mrs. Gao, said to Gao Shilian:

"Shi Lian, since there are guests coming, why don't you go out to greet them!"

"Yes! Mother. Gao Shilian left the table to greet him.

"Ahh Lee-sama! Grandpa Tang! Why are you here, the lower officials are out of welcome. Old Madam Gao, Mrs. Gao, and Mrs. Xianyu heard Gao Shilian's voice, and they also quickly got up to welcome Li Yuan.

"Lord Li, the old body doesn't know that Lord Li is coming, the humble house is shabby, I hope Lord Li doesn't mind!"

"Where, where! The old lady had said it. Come down to disturb, I hope Mrs. forgive me, this is the dog Shimin, the Shimin, I haven't seen Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Changsun and a few brothers."

"Xiaosheng has seen Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Eldest Sun, brothers." Li Shimin respectfully saluted everyone under Li Yuan's instructions.

Ah! You haven't eaten yet! Look at me, it's not the right time. ”

"Where, if the prince doesn't dislike it, please use it together!"

"Then you're welcome." After Li Yuan and Gao Shilian had dinner, Gao Shilian welcomed Li Yuan into the living room, and Mrs. Gao brought two cups of tea to the two of them. Li Yuan said to Mrs. Gao:

"Madame, stay with you!" Mrs. Gao said puzzled.

"What's the use of me staying here as a woman?"

"Hahaha! This time, I came to talk to my wife about something. ”

"Oh! What is it? Li Yuan deliberately bought a pass, smiled and said nothing, Gao Shilian seemed to sense something.

"Could it be 。。。。。。"

"Yes, I met Ji Sheng late in the next year, Ji Sheng has a lot of friendship with me in the times, this time I came to ask Mrs. you to kiss, my second son Li Shimin is now an adult, and it is time to get married, I heard that Ji Sheng's youngest daughter, the eldest grandson, is now an adult, and it is exactly the same age as my dog, so I 。。。。。。" Speaking of this, Li Yuan deliberately paused for a moment, because he was afraid that if he said too much, it would make Mrs. Gao think that he Li Yuan was oppressive, so he had been observing Gao Shilian and Mrs. Gao's faces. Mrs. Gao listened to Li Yuan's words and thought about it secretly, but Gao Shilian did not let Mrs. Gao think like this.

"Grandpa Guo, we understand your kindness, and I see that your son is dignified, knowledgeable, and courteous, I think this family business is appropriate, it is better to just decide, since ancient times, the eldest brother is like a father, I just hope that after my niece marries in the future, I hope that your son can be treated more kindly, and Grandpa Guo will take care of one or two!" Li Yuan was overjoyed when he heard it. Mrs. Gao was about to speak, but was stopped by Gao Shilian with her eyes.

"Ahh Then I will thank Lord Gao and Mrs. Changsun here, and there are still things at home, so I won't bother and leave first. Please stay! After speaking, he took Li Shimin and left Gaofu. After Li Yuan left, Mrs. Gao asked Gao Shilian in confusion:

"Big brother, you have never been a person who tends to be inflammatory, why is this time?"

"Sister, you and I are fellow mothers, do you think I will still harm you? After reading Li Shimin, I think he must not be ordinary, he will definitely become a great weapon in the future, and he can also be a wife and a husband in the future, besides, Li Yuan's family background is quite good, Mrs. Dou is a good housekeeper, I married Wuji, on the one hand, for Wuji, on the other hand, it is also for Wuji, Wuji is careful and arrogant, this time he was expelled from the house and hit him hard, so after I let Wuji marry Li Shimin, it is also to prepare for Wuji to recapture the eldest grandson family in the future! Mrs. Gao knows that her brother has always been very accurate and has never been wrong, and he also knows that his son has not wanted to live under others since he was a child, and now although he lives in his brother's house, his brother and nephew do everything they can to protect them, but in Wuji's heart, he will still have some mustard.

"But brother! Do you have not known to fulfill his 。。。。。。 ”

"My own son, I, as a father, can't I see that he has affection for Wuji, if they get married, and then they will kiss and kiss, the mother will be happy, but your sister-in-law is not a good stubble, she will be a clean mother-in-law in the future, and Wuji will not suffer any grievances, and I have to sacrifice my son's love. Besides, there is no grass at the end of the world, and the eldest husband has no wife, and he can't let his children grow too much, which will only harm him. Moreover, I see that the world of the Great Sui is difficult to be peaceful, the court is unpredictable, Jiaozhi is too Shouqiu and has been writing to me to help him as a staff member, my mother is so old that she can't work with me for a long time, you stay here to help me take care of it, and I am relieved to have Tang Guogong Li Yuan's in-laws to help you. After listening to her brother's explanation, Mrs. Gao couldn't say anything more. The next day, the matchmaker sent by Li Yuan and the bride price sent to Gao's mansion, the two sides agreed that three days later would be a good day and an auspicious day, for the sake of the dignity of her daughter's marriage, Mrs. Gao took out the fine softness she brought out from the eldest grandson's house and several pieces of jewelry given to her by Queen Xiao that year, all as her daughter's dowry. On the day of his daughter's wedding, Li Shimin rode a high-headed horse and wore a red wedding robe, and personally came to Gaofu to pick up the bride.

Li Mansion is full of lights, all the family magnates in Luoyang, Chang'an either visit in person, or send their children as representatives to congratulate, gold, silver, wealth, jewelry and jade sent I don't know how much, Li Yuan and Mrs. Dou sat in the middle hall, smiling and looking at Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian respectfully bowed. The eldest grandson Wujian took a cup of tea from the bride's hand:

"Daddy! Drink tea! ”

"Good! Shrewd! Give birth to a noble son early! As he spoke, he handed the eldest grandson a tiger head gold lock.

"Thank you, Dad!" took another cup of tea from Xi Niang's hand and handed it to Mrs. Dou.

"Mother drinks tea!"

"Good!" After drinking, take out a pair of jade bracelets made of fine jasper.

"Wuji, I don't have anything to give when you marry into our family, this is the Western Regions jade bracelet that our parents gave me when I went back to my parents' house a few days ago, so I'll give it to you today!"

"Thank you, mother!"

"It's all a family, so why be polite, Shimin! Innocent is now like half of my daughter! You can't bully her in the future! ”

"Yes! Mother! Children must be kind! Li Shimin nodded to Mrs. Dou. Mrs. Dou looked at them with a smile. I don't know how beautiful it is in my heart. After sending the eldest grandson Wujian into the cave room, Li Shimin entertained the guests at the banquet. Table after table of toasts, the noble children present kept toasting to him:

"Brother Shimin, now that you are a little Dengke, you must drink this glass of wine!"

"Brother Shimin, you have to come on tonight! I'm optimistic about you! Hahaha! ”

Li Jiancheng didn't heck with them at the banquet, he kept looking at one person-the eldest grandson Wuji. Maybe it's because he has seen through the trend of life, the teacher is too cold, he is alone on the table, pouring himself a drink, ignoring anyone, if others invite him to clink glasses, he only responds to it in vain, and does not pay attention to people. Even the eldest grandson Shunde toasted him with him under the pretext of climbing a relationship with him, but he ignored it. Li Jiancheng silently looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, recalling the record of the eldest grandson Wuji in the old Tang book. The eldest grandson Wuji has eagle eyes and a wolf nose, and his eyes are green, and now he can be said to have clear eyebrows. In the early days of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, when Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were competing for the crown prince, he strongly advocated the Xuanwumen Change, and in the later years of Tang Taizong, he used the dispute between the crown prince Li Chengqian and Li Tai to put Li Zhi, the youngest son of the eldest grandson Empress, on the throne, and used the rebellion of Tang Taizong's third son and youngest daughter Princess Gaoyang to hit a large number of Tang Dynasty clans and heroes, prime ministers, if it wasn't for Li Shimin who arranged Li Ji's move first, and Li Zhi was not as cowardly as the eldest grandson Wuji imagined, Using the abolition of Wang Liwu, the eldest grandson Wuji and his fellow relatives were all excluded from the imperial court, and given death, maybe the Tang Dynasty will change the eldest grandson. Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng remembered what a scholar in the later society said: A kind person is often a poison wrapped in candy, and many people will base their happiness and interests on his suffering, and once the outer layer of sugar skin is sucked dry, the poison will play its role.

'Humph! Eldest grandson Wuji, if it was Li Jiancheng in the past, maybe you would have succeeded, but now, I am no longer the original me, and history will change because of me. Li Jiancheng thought to himself.

Tang Dynasty trivia: During the period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the dispute between Li Chengqian and Li Tai for the crown prince connected the crown prince Li Chengqian, Li Tai, the king of Wei, Li Yuanchang, the son of Gaozu, the king of Han, Hou Junji, the founding general of the Tang Dynasty, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and others were moved out of the Zhongxian Temple, Wei Zheng's tombstone was pushed to, and Du Ruhui's two sons were exiled.

After Gaozong Li Zhi ascended the throne, Princess Gaoyang and Taizong's son Wu Wang Li Ke conspired against Gaozu's son Jing Wang Yuanjing, Taizong's daughter Princess Gaoyang, the widow of Ma Fang, Princess Baling, Taizong's daughter Princess Baling, Chai Lingwu, the son of Chai Shao, his son Li Ke, the son of Wu Wang Li Ke, Princess Danyang, Gaozu's daughter Princess Danyang, Xue Wanche, Fang Xuanling's two sons and others. Through these few things, from the founding of Tang Taizong to the accession of Gaozong, only two generals and prime ministers were left, the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Ji.

After Tang Taizong set up Li Zhi as the crown prince, he secretly entertained Li Ji once, and entrusted it to future generations, after Li Ji was drunk, Li Shimin personally undressed and draped Li Ji to keep out the cold, a few days later, Li Shimin was sick and secretly summoned the prince Li Zhi, and instructed him: "Li Ji is a meritorious old minister of the dynasty, you have no kindness to Li Ji, I degraded him to serve in other places, after I die, you recruit him back to the court, use him as the prime minister, he will feel your kindness!" After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he recalled Li Ji and used him as the prime minister, and finally eradicated the eldest grandson Wuji and his gang, and became a veritable son of the Tang Dynasty.
