It is the blessing of the people, but not our blessing, a group of generals muttered secretly, and also had some sympathy for the emperor, after all, there has been no march to fight for several years, and it must be idle, you must know that when he was the king of Qin, Li Shimin was famous for his love of hunting, but now under the obstruction of those civil officials, he can't even hunt, so what's the fun.

The emperor is really hard, not necessarily happier than himself, thinking of this, some people's hearts are much more balanced, but Wei Chigong is relatively simple, he can't hide things in his heart, and he said directly: "Your Majesty, everything is ready, if you don't go hunting, then the minister will go by himself." ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Shimin was shaken again, and asked, "Wei Qing, can you make an exception today?" ”

"In every thing there is one, there must be two, and so on and so forth, and so on, and so on, and so on." Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "Such a precedent must not be opened. ”

"When the husband is alive, there are three happy things, the world is peaceful, the family gives people enough, and there is one happiness; The grass is shallow and the beast is fat, hunting with etiquette, the bow is not vain, the arrow is not vain, and the two are happy; Datong, Wanfang Xianqing, Zhang Lego feast, up and down joy, three music also. Li Shimin said distressedly: "Now I only have two of them, it's not a pity." ”

"Your Majesty's words, the ministers dare not agree, you must know that the world is peaceful, the country and the people are safe, it is the joy of the whole world to celebrate, and hunting is nothing more than a solitary pleasure, solitary pleasure and public pleasure, the heart of one person and the heart of tens of millions of people, how can Your Majesty not know the reason." Wei Zheng retorted and patiently admonished.

"I see." Li Shimin was depressed, waved his hand and said, "Let's go back to the palace." ”

Wei Zheng and the others showed a happy smile on their faces, but at this moment, someone stood up and said, "Wait, father, and listen to your son." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he sat back and said with a smile: "Tai'er, what do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"The father and the emperor hunted in the field, not to promote martial arts, frolicking and having fun, but in the training of soldiers, the son felt that the father must be worried, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and then forgot to prepare for the army, the generals were negligent in training, and the soldiers were negligent in riding and shooting, which naturally did not work. Li Tai talked eloquently, and said solemnly: "That's why I took the opportunity of field hunting, one is to test whether the soldiers are lax, and the other is to follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to go to the siege of Lin Yuan and drill the army." ”

Li Shimin's eyes were slightly bright, he stroked the dragon's beard, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, although he did not speak, but it could be seen from his expression that he was very satisfied with Li Tai's explanation.

However, satisfaction is satisfaction, seeing Wei Zheng frowning and locking his forehead, Li Shimin had no intention of backtracking, smiled and waved Li Tai away, and said in a harmonious voice: "Wei Qing, don't worry, I am the Son of Heaven, naturally I will break my word, how can I lose my trust, go back to the palace now." ”

"Your Majesty, slow down." Wei Zheng stretched out his hand to stop it, pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness King Yue's words are just quibbles, training and military exercises, naturally there are generals to work hard, if there is an evacuation, you can ...... the generals."

Hearing this, the generals in the tent couldn't help but shrink their heads, even Cheng Biting Jin and the others were secretly slandering Wei Zheng for not being kind enough, completely ignoring the past friendship.

"Wei Qing, Tai'er is still young and lacks some knowledge, so there is no need to worry about him." Li Shimin said with a smile, naturally knowing that Li Tai was arguing skillfully, but he liked this kind of cleverness, and felt like himself, after all, if you talk about eloquence, the court, I'm afraid that no one is his opponent, and often refutes a group of ministers speechless, and later after being reminded by Empress Changsun, I realized that this is not conducive to the courtiers' words, so I slowly pretended to be clumsy.

It seems to be blamed, but it is actually a cherished encirclement, everyone can naturally distinguish it, Li Tai is happy in his heart, but he also knows the opportunity to come out, and asks Wei Zheng for guilt, compared to just now, it shows the difference in treatment, Li Ke grabbed his fist, let go in an instant, and his smile was still the same.

Wei Zheng shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't care, and continued: "The minister thinks that since His Majesty has realized his mistakes and has a heart of repentance, and the tents and other things in the camp have been prepared, the army mobilizes the people, but rushes back in a hurry, it is inevitable that there will be a bit of waste, it is better to ......"

"It's better to be wrong." Li Shimin said excitedly, feeling that Wei Zheng was really charming sometimes.

"Of course not." Wei Zheng categorically vetoed.

Knowing that there was no such good thing, Li Shimin sighed secretly and asked, "What does Wei Qing's words mean?" ”

"The minister thinks that it is already the end of autumn, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have been busy for more than half a year, so why don't Your Majesty take this opportunity to set up a banquet for the ministers to show their reward and comcare." Wei Zheng said, but he understood the truth of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.

It is better to be happy alone, Li Shimin thought so, and pulled all the people to the boat, so no one would blame himself, why didn't he think just now, Li Shimin regretted it, and immediately took the case to dismantle the proposed purpose, and convened officials above the third grade, feeling that after the end of autumn, the weather is getting colder, at least two or three months, you can't have a banquet like this, just play bigger, and allow them to bring their families.

Just when a civil official received the order and was about to return to the city to announce the edict, he heard Li Chengqian say: "Father, since this is the case, why don't you bring the emperor's younger brothers and sisters here, by the way, there is also the emperor's old man, who is bored in the palace, it is better to come out for a walk." ”

"The prince is benevolent and filial, and the minister thinks this is the best." Wei Zheng said with a smile.

Li Shimin was also very satisfied, and said approvingly: "It was my negligence, and I have to be reminded by Qian'er." ”

"In this way, please also invite the queen mother (concubine)." Li Ke and Li Tai said in unison.

"Forget it, let's just come all of them." Li Shimin said with a smile: "I will go back to the palace to invite people, you three, just stay and hunt, and I will judge with the hundred officials later, and see how you do well." ”

The three of them responded, their expressions were different, Li Chengqian was calm, Li Tai frowned slightly, but Li Ke was excited, and when he saw Li Shimin getting up and leaving, he hurriedly stepped forward to send him off.

Most of the crowd in the tent suddenly left, Wei Zheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I seem to have come to advise, and I have succeeded, but the result is unexpected, I have become the culprit of the extravagant banquet......"

Not to mention Wei Zheng's remorse, Han Rui and Helan Chushi waited outside the camp for a while, and saw Li Shimin surrounded by everyone, got on the dragon chariot, and left in a mighty way.

Seeing Li Chengqian coming, Han Rui asked quietly, "His Royal Highness the Prince, has Your Majesty returned to the palace?" ”

"That's right." Li Chengqian said.

"Oh." Han Rui was a little disappointed, he originally wanted to find an opportunity to see what Li Shimin was like up close, but he didn't expect Wei Zheng to be so powerful, and in a few words, he made the emperor change his mind and go back to the palace.

At this time, Zhang Shizheng trotted over and respectfully asked: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the King of Yue and the King of Shu have gone out hunting, should we also act?" ”

"Okay, let's go." Li Chengqian agreed, explained things clearly in a few simple words, and said with a smile: "What, are you interested in attending this banquet?" ”

Surprise intersection, where is there anything to hesitate, the two naturally nodded, but Han Rui hesitated a little, and said softly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, in the banquet, the emperor's relatives, high-ranking officials and dignitaries gathered, is it appropriate for the two of us to participate?" ”

That's right, listening to Li Chengqian's meaning, the people who accompanied the last banquet were all third-grade officials, or their family members, and they had no involvement with either of them, so I am afraid they were not qualified to attend.

"That's ...... Then I will grieve you and serve as my retinue for the time being. Li Chengqian said.

Han Rui and Helan Chushi have no opinion, anyway, they participated in the banquet, not really to eat and drink, mainly to see it, especially Han Rui, such a banquet can basically realize his original intention of coming to Chang'an, regardless of whether there is an impression, the famous and meritorious heroes who have no impression must gather here, and I am afraid that I will not see enough.

"Let's go, go hunting."

The roar of Wei Chigong came, resounding through the sky, all the military guards responded, for a while, the banner was unfurled, the horses galloped between the mountains, forests and grasslands, the military guards ran and shouted with swords, bows and arrows, the momentum was violent, even the most ferocious birds and beasts saw it, and they were also frightened, and they flew away, not daring to stay.

Suddenly, at the foot of Li Mountain, it can be said that the wolf smoke is everywhere, the white blade flashes, the flag covers the words, the ancient hunting methods are varied, fire attack, hunting, net catching, noose, horseback arrows shooting, mixed and used, naturally make the black smoke miasma here, the smoke is filled, the birds and beasts roar, it is very lively.

Seriously criticized this kind of brutal act of burning mountains and forests and destroying the natural environment in his heart, Han Rui sighed for a moment, slowly cleaned up his mood, took a soft bow, and accompanied Li Chengqian and others, in the grassland, galloping on horseback, chasing an elk.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

Arrows rained down and galloped, but none of them landed on the elk, but were nailed around it, driving it to run everywhere and exhausted, and at this moment the light flashed, and a long arrow passed through, and the elk screamed and fell to the ground.

Han Ruilema, looking away, couldn't bear to witness, it was really cruel.

Helan Chushi retracted his bow and chuckled: "Han Rui, you literati, you are soft-hearted, and when you go to the battlefield, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything big." ”

"You said it yourself, I'm a literati." Han Rui pursed his lips and argued: "There is a specialization in the art industry, if the literati can go to the battlefield, then what is the use of you warriors?" ”

"Okay, I know that you literati can speak well, but you can't talk about you." Helan Chushi said, Zhiqu's choice to surrender.

"It's not that I can't argue, but I know that I can't refute it." Han Rui said with a smile, and after the guards had dealt with the prey properly, he immediately stepped forward and made his suggestion to Li Chengqian, "It's almost enough, as for the results of Your Majesty and the hundred officials, in my opinion, there is no need for you to care about this level of victory or defeat." ”

After a deep groan, Li Chengqian nodded in agreement, looked at the sky, and said with a smile: "At this hour, it is time for the father and queen mother to come over, and it is time to go back." ”

Ordered, the military guards responded, and hurriedly put the prey they had caught on the carriage in a neat and orderly manner, birds and beasts, everything, and the number was quite considerable, of course, it was impossible for Li Chengqian to hunt and kill, most of them were the credit of the accompanying military guards, but as a servant, there should be such an awareness of not distinguishing between each other.

Seeing that it was almost cleaned up, Li Chengqian immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay, go back." ”

"Wait......"
