Chapter 31: The Third Uncle

"Look at what you said, what else can it be if it's not a brother,"

"Third child, I have thought about the cabinet you told me last time, and I am going to propose it at the next court meeting,"

"Whatever you want, anyway, you are the emperor, when is the right time for you to do it yourself, oh, don't be verbose about this kind of state affairs, go to the old man, I can prepare a good wine, we will have a good drink later"

"Okay, let's go"

The two talked and laughed along the way and walked to the Taiji Palace, Li Yuan was leisurely walking, the eunuch came to report that the emperor and King Wei were coming, Li Yuan happily trotted all the way back to the main hall, and when he saw Li De, he scolded, "Okay, you little rabbit cub, let you come to see me, and I want me to send someone to pass on the message to you, you are not small in this Wei Wang." ”

Li De smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, I'm not busy, you see that I can come to see your old man when I have time." I've brought something good."

Li Yuan looked at the kid so mysterious, and said, "Bring it to me, it's a mysterious good thing, you kid has been hiding it for a long time."

Tong Qing took out the wine, opened the seal on the table, the aroma of wine wafted out, Li Yuan sniffed, "It's a good thing to smell this, bring me a bowl"

Tong Qing put a bowl in front of the three of them very clearly, Li Yuan and Li Shimin didn't say a word, picked up the bowl and drank, took a sip, tasted it again, his eyes lit up, and he took a big sip, and at the same time said good, and he didn't need Tong Qing to pour wine, one person grabbed a jar and drank it.

Li De looked at the appearance of the two drunkards, and said with a smile, "Second brother, why don't you see your sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time, hurry up and call someone to call my sister-in-law, by the way, there is also Cheng Qian, Qingque is called, I haven't seen it yet." ”

Li Shimin wiped his mouth after a bowl and said, "Alas, that's right, it's time to meet, Liu San, go and invite the queen, call those stinky boys, by the way, and Changle them." ”

Not long after, the queen took her sons and daughters to the Taiji Palace. Salute Li Yuan and Li Shimin.

Li De saluted the queen and looked at the few villains behind.

"Child, please say hello to the emperor's grandfather and father."

Li Yuan laughed and said, "Okay, it's all good,"

Li Shimin also nodded and said, "Come, this is your third uncle, let's salute your third uncle."

Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Changle looked at each other, then turned their heads to look at the queen, and saw the queen nodding with a smile and said in unison, "I've seen the third uncle." ”

Li De smiled and waved his hand, "Haha, okay, you guys are okay too"

Li Shimin said, "I can tell you, this is your third uncle, and you must respect him as much as I respect him in the future, if anyone neglects your third uncle, I will be severely punished." ”

Li De answered and said, "Second brother, look at what you said is serious, it scares them." Don't worry about your father, my name is Li Yuanba. It is indeed your third uncle, who has only recently returned, and this time I went back to the palace, and I happened to know you. ”

Li De slowly looked at the four of them, they looked delicate, dressed decently, and had the demeanor of a prince, who should be the prince Li Chengqian. The little fat man who took a little shorter next to him was Li Tai, and the only girl was Li Li, the princess of Changle, and the little boy who was holding the girl's hand should say Li Zhi. The four children are still young, the eldest Li Chengqian is only twelve years old, Li Tai and Li Lizhi are second, and Li Zhi is the youngest. As a person who has crossed over, these four Tianhuang nobles who were born with golden keys have worse endings than the other. Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian don't know what the hell is the education, these beautiful and lovely children have been made, a prince rebelled, a prince was deposed, Changle married the eldest grandson Chong died at a young age, and finally cheapened the youngest Li Zhi, this little kid is also a restless life, not to mention that his father's talent was replaced by the only female emperor in Chinese history, which is really embarrassing.

Since Li De is here, he will definitely not let such a cute child repeat the mistakes of the past, otherwise he will not have the identity of the cross-public. smiled and pulled Changle over, and said, "The beauty is really beautiful, a proper beauty embryo, as beautiful as your mother, the third uncle saw it for the first time, so he gave you this jade pendant, I hope you can be healthy and beautiful." ”

Changle listened to the third uncle praise her for her beauty, and her eyes smiled like crescents, but the jade pendant given by Li De said happily, "Thank you, third uncle," seeing that everyone was looking at her, she shyly ran to the arms of the eldest grandson to be coquettish. That coquettish look made everyone laugh.

Li Chengqian, Li Tai two boys, Li De gave a knife studded with gems, "Na, you two are boys, you can't just study and have fun for a day, the third uncle gave you a knife, I hope you can also learn martial arts, at least be skilled in archery and horses." Did you know?"

Li Chengqian seemed to like the knife given by Li De very much, and said to Li De happily, "Thank you, third uncle, nephew likes it very much, I want to go to the battlefield, third uncle, can you take me there, my father and mother are not allowed, saying that I am the prince, and I must learn well"

Li De said to Li Chengqian, "What your father and queen mother said is right, you think, if you are the crown prince, if you have no knowledge, how will you govern the country and manage officials in the future, but you can't learn to be a nerd, you have to combine civil and military, don't worry, I will suggest to your father and emperor, learn less of those who care." ”

The little fat man Li Tai didn't do it when he heard this, but he liked to follow the master to learn the most, and the little face said to Li De unhappily, "Third uncle, what you said is not right, learning is important, and the master said that the classics that are learned well can be obtained in this world, but they are much stronger than the martial arts who fight and kill all day long." ”

Li De turned his face when he heard it and asked, "Xiaotai, what the master told you, I asked your father to depose him, it's just a mistake,"

Li Tai said, "Third uncle, why are you like this, Madame didn't do anything wrong, he also taught Tai a lot of things, what the saint said in the book is the truth, and we want to respect the teacher." ”

Li De touched his face and said, "Xiaotai, you are still young, there are a lot of things you don't understand, the third uncle asked you, those classics can teach you this astronomy and geography, human accidents, only those saints speak classics, but they can't be used to govern the country, and they can't be inferior to foreign enemies, think about it, the Tang Dynasty is your grandfather and father and countless generals and soldiers who exchanged their blood and lives for it, if there are no generals and soldiers you said, who will defend the country and protect the people, only those masters, the enemy will not give him the opportunity to preach, right?"

Li Tai thought about it and recognized this, and said, "Third uncle, that military general can't govern the country, the master said that to govern the country, you still have to use the words of the sage to educate the people,"

Li De then said, "Xiaotai, are you thinking, can the previous saints be emperors or prime ministers? No, they are just thinkers but not politicians, do you look at those famous ministers in history who have specialized knowledge? They don't know astronomy and geography, I'll give you the simplest example, a county order can only speak the words of sages and scriptures, how does he govern the place? If he doesn't know how to farm, he won't be able to develop production, and the people will go hungry, and if he doesn't know how to try cases, he won't be able to avenge the people's grievances, so he can only manage them indiscriminately, and the result can only be that the people's grievances boil and he will be deposed by your father. So Xiaotai, you have to remember that doing scholarship is the master's business, you are the prince, we are the royal family, our responsibility is to govern this country, defend this country, not Haoshou poor scriptures, understand? ”

Li Tai's little face was entangled and puzzled, what Li De said today was very different from what he had been learning, and it had a great impact on Xiao Xian's thoughts.

Li De comforted, "Xiaotai, you are still young, when you grow up, you will understand, I can give your father a suggestion, let you all go out to see the world more, experience the people's feelings, and no longer sit in the palace to watch the sky." The third uncle sent you a sentence, it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, and the ancients also said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. ”

Li Tai slowed down and said to Li De, "Thank you, third uncle, the third uncle is also knowledgeable, this sentence is better to read ten thousand books than to travel thousands of miles, Xiaotai wrote it down." ”

Li Dekan has planted a seed in Li Tai's heart, and when he sprouts, he will definitely not grow such a ruthless temperament again.

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson glanced at each other, and they both smiled with satisfaction, they didn't expect that these third brothers were so good to these children, and it would definitely be better than before to have Li De's teaching.

In the end, Li Zhi saw that his brothers and sisters had them, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said in a milky voice, "Third uncle, what about mine, you haven't given me a gift yet,"

Li De looked at this little Zhengtai, touched his head and said, "Yes, yes." , how could the third uncle forget you, come here is a gift from the third uncle, you still can't play with weapons, and when you grow up, the third uncle will give you a treasure knife,. Okay," Li De also sent a jade pendant to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi saw that he also had gifts to receive and didn't care about anything, he didn't like knives, and it was better to have the same jade pendant as his sister.

Li Yuan saw that it was almost over, so he ordered the eunuch to bring Li De's hot pot up, everyone did it together, he hadn't been so happy for a long time, and the whole family came to eat with him, and he was very happy.

Waiting for the palace maids to arrange the dishes, Li De took the lead in carrying the wine and said, "I wish my father good health," and everyone saluted Li Yuan together.

Li De raised his glass again, "I wish the Tang Dynasty a prosperous era and congratulate the Tang Dynasty!" "Even Li Chengqian and Li Tai took a bowl and drank with everyone, boys should be cultivated from an early age, but they can't develop a sissy.

However, seeing that the eldest grandson also drank warm water like Changle and Li Zhi, he asked in surprise, "Second brother, isn't my sister-in-law sick and drinking water." The sister-in-law is the husband of the middle woman. ”

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Third brother, your sister-in-law is pregnant, and you will have one more nephew and niece for the New Year, so you have to prepare gifts." ”

Li De listened to "Oh, I see, look at my mouth, I salute my sister-in-law, I guess this time it must be a princess, or a smart and clever little princess, I will be ready for a big gift when the time comes"

The eldest grandson covered his mouth and smiled, "Third brother, how do you know that it is a daughter, are you still a doctor?" ”

Li Shimin then quipped, "You don't know, the third brother has made another contribution, and he and Cheng Yanjin have created alcohol, which can prevent wind and evil from entering the body, cure diseases and disinfect them,"

Li De also said, "Sister-in-law, I also asked my second brother to mobilize people to find Sun Simiao, it seems that this thing is really good, and I can escort my sister-in-law by finding him,"

The eldest grandson: "Then thank you to the third brother,"

Li Yuan was overjoyed, this father and son were filial to their sons, and their granddaughter was born soon, so he was overjoyed, and immediately picked up the wine and said, "Great, the third child is doing well, come on, come on, have a drink for the old man and little granddaughter."

The family was happy, and the hall was full of laughter.
