Li Su came to the door of Li Shimin's study, saw Ma Xuanliang, the leader of Li Shimin's guards, and said: "Manager Ma, your subordinates are very capable, Zhou Pan has performed very well this time and made great contributions, and this king will ask for credit for them."

Ma Xuanliang said: "Thank you, Your Highness, the pensions of those who sacrificed under my command last time have been received by their families. The emperor is waiting for you, come in. He made a gesture of please.
Li Shimin was full of joy when he saw his sixth son Li Su. When he said goodbye, he said, "Come, sit down." ”
He looked at Li Su and said, "It's dark, I'm thin, and I've worked hard." ”
Seeing Li Shimin's kind face and listening to his words of concern, Li Su felt a strong family affection. His heart was sour, and tears flowed down his face. He said: "Thank you for your concern, my son is not hard." ”
When Li Shimin saw him like that, he was also very moved, and he said in his heart: "This son of his own, who used to care too little about him, often scolded and punished him, and almost never said anything to encourage him. I really wronged him. The corners of his eyes moistened at the thought of this.
He said: "Su'er, this time you went to the grassland, and successfully persuaded the Tiele and Tuli tribes, which played a crucial role in the victory of the war. You should be the first to take credit for this great victory. ”
Li Su hurriedly said: "Father, this great victory is a good result of your leadership, and the sons and daughters just did what they could in accordance with your wise decisions, and they didn't have any credit." The main credit is still achieved by the generals and their bloody battles, and the first credit should be the generals and Hou Junji. ”
Li Shimin smiled: "Son, don't be modest. Li Jing and Hou Junji are both in the recital, praising you and pushing you for the first credit. In my opinion, you can't run away from this first achievement. ”
Li Su was both happy and worried, happy that he had established his status in his father's heart. I am worried that if I am too strong in the limelight, I will be suspicious of others, and I will not have a good time in the future.
He wanted to shirk the credit, but seeing Li Shimin's excited appearance, he couldn't bear to spoil his interest, so he didn't shirk it again, and was ready to find an opportunity to talk about it later.
Li Shimin asked some about the situation of the Tiele Department and the Tuli Department, and then asked his opinion on Wei Zheng's proposal. Li Su discussed him and Wei Zheng in advance, combined with the situation on the grassland, and talked about his own opinions.
Li Shimin thought in his heart that Wei Zheng's proposal was right, and at this time, he had already made up his mind.
The two talked for a while.
Li Shimin asked, "After you came back, did you see your mother?" ”
Li Su said: "As soon as Erchen came back, he came to report to you, and he hasn't gone yet." ”
Li Shimin was very interested, and said: "Let's go, let's go to your mother's place now, have a meal together, and have a good chat." ”
The Chenghui Hall where Concubine Yang lived.
"Niangniang, the emperor and His Royal Highness King Liang are coming over to have dinner at your place. You get ready. A little eunuch ran over to report to Concubine Yang.
"Thank you, Grandpa Liu. Chrysanthemum, look at the appreciation. Concubine Yang said happily.
"Thank you for the reward." The little eunuch took the reward and departed.
Concubine Yang hadn't seen her youngest son Li Su for a long time, and when she heard that Li Shimin was also coming, she wanted to reunite the whole family, so she sent someone to call Li Ke, the king of Shu, to come over for dinner together.
Soon, Li Shimin and Li Su came over.
When Li Su gave Concubine Yang a salute, Concubine Yang put her arms around his head and said with tears in her eyes: "Su'er, where have you been recently, so that the concubine is worried about death." ”
Li Shimin said with a smile: "I sent him to the grassland, and he just came back today." ”
"What?" Concubine Yang was shocked, and she said, "Isn't there a war on the grassland? How dangerous it is, where are you going, what are you doing? ”
Li Shimin said: "Your son, but it is amazing, he went to the grassland, did a great thing, helped me defeat Yi Nan, and reduced the casualties of many Tang Dynasty soldiers, which is a great achievement." ”
At this time, Li Ke, the king of Shu, came over, he saluted Li Shimin and Concubine Yang, and said to Li Su: "Where have you been recently, the Tang Dynasty is fighting against the enemy, but you don't know how to contribute to the court." ”
This guy, when he sees Li Su, has always been like this.
Concubine Yang was a little unhappy, she said, "Ke'er, why do you say that about your brother? Your father said that he went to do great things for the court and made meritorious contributions. ”
Li Shimin said: "Ke'er, you have wronged Su'er this time, he was sent by me, and this time to defeat the grassland coalition army, Su'er should be the first merit." The court will reward him heavily. ”
Li Ke was a little unconvinced, but in front of Li Shimin, he didn't dare to question it.
Concubine Yang said: "Su'er, what have you done on the grassland? The mother is very curious. ”
Li Su didn't know if he could say these things, after all, they were all confidential, so he looked at Li Shimin and asked for his opinion.
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Let's say, now that the overall situation on the grassland has been decided, those things are no secret." Hou Junji admires you very much, saying that you have staged a big drama on the grassland. I'd like to hear about it, too. ”
Li Su saw Li Shimin's encouraging gaze, and then looked at his loving mother, he suddenly felt that he had thought too much before, he shouldn't be so wary of them, they were his closest family members, and his previous thoughts were a little extreme.
He now enjoys the warmth of this family very much, so he no longer hides it, and tells everything he has experienced like a storyteller.
Li Su's eloquence is excellent, he has experienced it personally, the story itself is very exciting, and for a while, in front of Li Shimin and others, a thrilling picture unfolded.
When he said that he was on the way to the grassland and met the assassins of the Tiele Division, Concubine Yang covered her mouth nervously and her eyes widened. When she heard that it was the Qibi dark cloud that saved Li Su, she said: "This grassland princess is really brave. ”
At this time, the meal was ready, and everyone listened to Li Su continue to tell the story while eating.
Li Shimin is a serious person, and in the process of listening, he constantly asks questions and asks Li Su to explain. When Li Su said that Qibi Zheke was using Tongtian Wu and in the name of the gods to prepare to forcibly elect himself to the throne of Khan, Li Shimin said: "Wait. ”
He thought about it carefully and shook his head, not knowing how to resolve this crisis.
Li Su didn't talk about the second kicking, and he couldn't explain this problem. He just said that he diverted people's attention and used the pine oil burning to produce the Buddha's light effect, defeating Tongtian Wu.
Li Shimin laughed when he heard it. He patted Li Su on the head and said, "You kid, you're really a ghost." ”
Li Shimin then asked, "How did you get rid of Chebi Zheke?" ”
