When Li Kong came out of the Taiji Palace, it was already a quarter of the hour, that is, it was now 8:15 in the evening.

Looking at the starlight in the sky and the cheerful crowd around him, Li Kong complained fiercely in his heart: What the hell, I don't even care about dinner so late, so that the labor and management go back hungry?

In fact, it is not that Li Shimin feels sorry for Li Kong's bowl of rice, but today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and every family eats a reunion dinner, in the case of Li Kong, even if he really becomes Li Lizhi's husband in the future, he must eat at Li Kong's house, not in the palace.

In ancient times, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was very important, this is the only time of the year for a big reunion, even the Mid-Autumn Festival can not be compared, plus an outsider means that it is likely that his own things will be taken away by others in the coming year, so Li Kong was very sad to be kicked out of the Taiji Palace by Li Shimin, who looked satisfied, and walked towards the British Mansion alone.

"Oh, my young master, you can be regarded as coming out, Madame is still waiting for you to eat at home!" Outside the Taiji Palace, Laifu drove a carriage and looked at Li Kong with a distressed face, but he didn't have the courage to do anything to slander Li Shimin, so he could only use that heart to feel more sorry for Li Kong.

Li Kong glanced at Laifu sadly, turned over and jumped into the carriage, and said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Hurry up, young master, I'm hungry! ”

"Eh, let's go!" Laifu shouted and drove away quickly in the carriage.

Inside the Temple of Manna.

Li Shimin looked at the tariff rules recorded by the chamberlain about Li Kong's explanation, and was very satisfied, and decided to implement this plan after the New Year, the Tang Dynasty is too poor now, and now although the Eastern Turks have been wiped out, their ability to survive is very strong, although it has been planned for five years, but who knows what will happen within five years?

What's more, now Tubo, Gaochang, Tuyuhun, Lingnan and Goguryeo are all ready to move, and there is not much time left for Li Shimin, so no matter who opposes it this time, Li Shimin is ready to make a dictatorship, even if he is scolded as a tyrant in the future.

Of course, this is just Li Shimin's own thoughts, he has thought about it, and when the time comes, he will get Li Kong to the court, Li Shimin is still very trusting about Li Kong's mouth, and the big deal is that Li Kong will be angry at the civil and military forces at that time? It seems quite exciting to think about.

"Father, where is Brother Kong?" Just when Li Shimin was lewd, Li Lizhi hooked his head from the outside and asked with a puzzled expression.

Li Shimin, who was originally full of joy, was instantly damaged by this nuclear explosion with a critical hit of 100,000 points, his face instantly became gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Go home for dinner!" ”

Li Lizhi was stunned, and then suddenly, he ran behind Li Shimin with a smile, put his immature hands on his shoulders, rubbed them gently, and said, "Oh, father, why are you like this, my father is also very important in Lizhi's heart!" ”

"Really? How important is it? How about your empty brother? Li Shimin was in a better mood, and then looked at Li Lizhi expectantly.

"Forehead......" Li Lizhi was asked, her little head kept turning, she wanted to say that Li Shimin was more important, but after thinking about it, it seemed that Li Kong's importance was about to overshadow Li Shimin, what should I do? For Li Lizhen, who is only eight years old, this is an almost unsolvable problem.

Lie? I'm sorry, Li Lizhen, as a young woman in the new era of Datang, will never lie.

Her silence made Li Shimin's face completely gloomy with full expectation, and he got up with a light snort and said, "Let's go, go eat!" ”

Li Lizhi spit out her cute tongue, hung it directly on Li Shimin's body, and said, "Father, you are really important, but ...... But Brother Kong is just as important, my daughter is so embarrassed, is it okay for my father not to be like this? ”

"Is it really as important?" Li Shimin dragged Li Lizhen towards the Lin De Hall next to him without looking back.

"Uh-huh! It's really just as important! Because of lying, Li Lizhi's little face looked red, but fortunately, the weather outside is relatively cold now, so it didn't attract Li Shimin's attention, otherwise Li Shimin's daughter's heart would be broken again.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the curfew was lifted, and the huge city of Chang'an was full of people, and the streets of this big night were still full of happy people, who talked and laughed wantonly, commenting on the events of the past year, especially Li Kong's feat of single-handedly retreating from the Turks, which made these Tang people who advocated force and honored, and even some storytellers wrote Li Kong's retreat from the Turks directly into a paragraph, and began to talk about it on the street.

Listening to the discussion in his ears, Li Kong leaned on the carriage, the expression on his face could not tell whether he was happy or lost, but there was an indescribable sense of loneliness in his heart.

It has been more than four months and nearly half a year since he came here, but until now, it is still difficult for him to believe that he has changed from a retired special forces soldier in the new century to the eldest son of Li Tao in the Tang Dynasty.

"That's it, if you can't go back, you can't go back after all, this will be my home in the future, my time, the day I have it, Datang will never regret it, for this goal, Li Kong, you have to continue to work hard!"

sighed in his heart, and his originally lonely eyes instantly regained his calm, and he opened the curtain and looked towards the street.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, after the Chinese New Year's Eve meal is the New Year's Eve Celebration, but in this era, the New Year's Eve is actually not written, and few people will really keep the night, most people regard this night as a time to call friends, after all, in the Tang Dynasty, night activities are very short, especially during the curfew, there is almost no nightlife.

Looking at the cheerful crowd and the peach charms on both sides, Li Kong suddenly found that although there were no fireworks here, the taste of the New Year was not at all.

At this time, he suddenly remembered Li Yue'e at home, and he couldn't wait to see Li Yue'e, and he couldn't help urging: "Laifu, you bastard boy, give the young master me a little faster, do you want to starve the young master to death?" ”

"Young master, there are too many people, no matter how fast it is, it is easy to hit people!" There was a resentful voice from outside, which directly smashed all Li Kong's eagerness to pieces.

Bored, he had to lie on the car, for the comfort of this two-wheeled carriage, Li Kong said that it was a dog, the degree of bumps almost did not make him vomit out the overnight meal, thinking that he would travel in the future to get a sedan chair? It's a bit bumpy, but it's better than a two-wheeler, right?

But it seems to be ...... Can you do a four-wheeled carriage?

It seems that he saw another way to make a fortune, Li Kong's mood is a little better, and he is ready to wait for the New Year to start building, and then sell all of them to those gate lords.

After half an hour of turbulence, Li Kong finally arrived at the door of the British Mansion, looking at Li Yue'e standing outside, all the loneliness in his heart and the thoughts of his previous life completely disappeared without a trace, especially in the face of those eyes full of worry, his inner feelings could no longer be controlled, and he walked over quickly, clasping his fists: "Mother, my son is back!" ”
