Chapter XXIV

"I heard that the second brother came back this time and brought a lot of good things, and even the eunuch who went to announce the decree got a good leather." Li Yuanji opened his mouth and showed his big teeth, and said with a smile, but why did he smile so treacherously?

"Why, you know that?" Li Jiancheng couldn't hear the deep meaning of his words, but he didn't expect that his third brother usually looked inconspicuous, but he didn't expect that the news was actually very well-informed. You must know that Li Shimin sent the news of a white wolf fur, and he only received the news half an hour ago, and the time when his third brother received the news is almost the same, which shows that his tentacles in the deep palace are not much worse than his own prince.

"Huh...... For people like us, it's better to be well-informed, otherwise one day someone will take off this great head. Li Yuanji didn't care about Li Jiancheng's discovery of his secret, he did have a lot of news channels in the palace, which he had built up little by little over the years. Others only see their own pockets, but they don't know that if they don't express themselves like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to live today. Neither the crown prince nor the king of Qin can afford to provoke him, and the future successor of this empire is destined to be born between these two people.

Objectively speaking, Li Jiancheng has an advantage in internal affairs, after all, he has been in Chang'an for a long time and has close ties with many ministers in the DPRK and China. And Li Shimin, the king of Qin, has an advantage in the army, and the general prince in the army only has Xue Wanqian under the prince, and the two Xue Wanche brothers can compete with the gang of Tiance Mansion, and the rest are simply chickens and dogs, vulnerable to attack. There are countless fierce generals under King Qin: Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yanjin, Li Shiji, Duan Zhixuan, Li Xiaogong, Qu Tutong, Liu Hongji, etc. Even the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, who are civilians, Du Ruhui and these people may be put into battle when necessary, and they are even more powerful than those before them, because they are all Confucian generals who use strategy to defeat the enemy.

"According to the opinion of the third brother, what should I do?" Li Jiancheng looked at his ugly brother with a smile.

"The prince must have planned for a long time, and the younger brother is throwing bricks and stones here: what if the eunuch who has been rewarded presents this leather goods to his father?" Smart people only talk half of what they say, after all, if they talk too much, they will be showy.

Li Jiancheng smiled, this idea is the same as he thought, when the time comes, his father will be jealous of Li Er, then he will not be able to jump!

"Hahaha......" Two laughs rang out in the East Palace, one high-pitched and the other gloomy.

Li Kuan was still struggling with not eating dinner at this time, and now the time was already in the middle of the day, and it was almost time. That is, it will be more than ten o'clock in the evening in the later world, and it will be almost eleven o'clock in the evening. At this time, the era of nightlife may not be nothing, but now it is Datang, and it is already silent. Even the Wuhou patrolling the streets is probably no longer on errands, and only the sergeants patrolling are unimpeded in this curfew Chang'an City.

Li's stomach growled, forcing him to get up and look for something to eat.

When I came to the kitchen, I found that there was really something to eat, and I kept it hot in the pot. However, it seems that even if Li Er comes back, the food in the palace has not improved, and it is still noodles, not called cold tao in this era. However, because of Li Kuan's sleep, this bowl of noodles was ruined, and now all he was in front of him was a bowl of paste.

Guanzhong people love to eat noodles, which is well known to the world, no matter what kind of food, as long as it is ground, in their eyes it is noodles. It's like a flour made of zuò, whether it's a bun, a steamed bun or something, in the Guanzhong population of the Tang Dynasty, it is all cake.

They love to eat pasta, and they will eat pasta, and the monotonous flour has changed its pattern in their hands, and most of the various foods made from flour in later generations are slowly explored by these people under the accumulation of years.

Li Kuan looked at the paste in front of him and wanted to cry without tears, you must know that he would never miss the dinner in the past, today he was physically and mentally exhausted and overslept, so did he want to eat this paste that looked like he had no appetite?

Li Kuan continued to see if there was anything to eat, and rummaged through the cabinets in the kitchen to find it. In the end, I found that what was missing in this era was not so starry, there was no familiar seasoning, no delicate salt, no soy sauce. This is also missing, and that is not either. After finishing his half-baked cooking skills, he can't show it. I could only pick up the bowl of paste that made her sad for a long time and drink it.

Not to mention that Li Kuan was eating dinner in a complicated mood, and then looked at Li Er and his wife, the two of them had already fallen asleep.

Reuniting after a long absence, it is inevitable that it will be full of passion. Li Er and the eldest grandson had just finished some exercises, and now the eldest grandson was lying quietly in Li Er's arms, looking at the beloved in his heart with silky eyes. Li Er had a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and the shy look in his arms was the biggest compliment to him.

"Guanyin, you said that if the world was peaceful now, what would we be like? Do men and women weavers live between the mountains and rivers and the countryside, or do they continue to cheat and deceive my eldest brother and third brother? Li Er suddenly asked with great feeling.

"What did the second brother say? Even if we do retire, so what? Big brother, will they really let us go? And what about the old brothers who followed the second brother from birth to death until now? Listening to Li Er's emotion, the eldest grandson knew that he was thinking about the little thing between their brothers again, speaking of which, their brothers were the most respected brothers in heaven and earth, but they were also doomed to a sad end because of their identity.

"Whew! It's me who thinks too much! There is a give-and-go between heaven and earth, and since you have gained so much, you are destined to lose some. The lonely king has you, and those children, God treats me well. "Li Er is Li Er in the end, the temporary depression is just a lion napping, and when he comes to his senses, he is still the majestic and inviolable proud lion.

"Perhaps, that kid from Erlang will be a turning point!" The eldest grandson remembered Li Kuan's deeds, and gave birth to this idea for no reason, and it slipped out of his mouth directly, and as soon as he said it, he felt that this was a bit taken for granted, you must know that this can be said to be the most difficult thing in the world today. There are no relatives in the heavenly family, but it's not just talking.

"Perhaps!" Li Er let out a long sigh, he has been avoiding this problem, but the other party is pressing step by step, he really feels a little helpless, he has returned to Chang'an every year over the years, and the time to return to this home is pitiful. Because there are always countless tasks to exterminate the rebel party that have come to him, there are always countless rebels who will make him go to the requisition. He knew that it was because those two people were unwilling to let him come back, because they were not sure to deal with him Li Shimin, but the Qin Wangfu with only a group of women and children left could be eaten. It's just that the eldest grandson has been struggling to support them all these years, and with Li Yuan still there, they have not succeeded. It's just that when is such a day a head! He Li Er is also a human being, and his brother in Tiance Mansion is also raised by his father's mother, and he has been fighting continuously over the years, and Li Er himself doesn't remember how many brothers died around him.

Maybe they were drinking and eating meat together the day before, and they never saw it again the next day, and they were separated forever. Li Er was afraid that those old brothers who followed him all the way would fall on the battlefield like that in the days to come, they followed him for a future, if they fell when the world was about to be calm, how deplorable it would be! Just like Li Kuan's grandfather Yin Qiao Yin Kaishan, one of his fathers-in-law, an old general who has followed Li Yuan all the way since he started his army, just a few months ago, fell on the way to conquer Liu Heimin.

Li Er was full of thoughts, and countless shadows flashed in his mind, it was the brothers who fell beside him, they were all watching, looking at him Li Er would bring glory and wealth to the rest of the people, whether he would let the rest of them be crowned wives and sons, they themselves had no hope, but their brothers were still there, and their hope was still there. Burdened with the hopes of these people, Li Er must hold on and give them an explanation.

There are a lot of people who have insomnia at night, far more than Li Er Li built them, far away in the Taiji Palace in the palace city, it is still brightly lit at the moment, Li Yuangao sits in a position that symbolizes the supreme power of the world, looking down on all living beings in the world.

Sixteen huge pillars carved with dragons on both sides supported the high dome. The snapping sound of the butter candle burning echoed through the silent palace. At the foot of the steps in front of the throne, a eunuch was kneeling there, holding a snow-white wolf skin high in both hands and presenting it to Li Yuan's eyes.

There was no one around, Li Yuan looked at the eunuch quietly, and he was in a cold sweat, dripping down his cheeks, and falling on the floor little by little. But he didn't dare to move a little, because if such a small action triggered Li Yuan's hidden anger, it would be called unjust death.

Li Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was gloomy as if he was about to drip water: "Is it really the retribution of the world?" Why? Cannibalism, father and son frying each other! Is the tragedy really going to happen in my Li family? ”

"Erlang, are you really such a person? Are you hiding too deeply, or is it an illusion made by someone at this time? Li Yuan muttered to himself, but the faces of the eunuchs below became more and more ugly, you must know how such a confidential thing can be listened to casually, only a dead person can keep a secret!

He wanted to tell the secret, but remembering the lives of his parents and relatives who were in the hands of the two people, he swallowed the words back. Although he entered the palace as a eunuch, it was because the war hurt the root of his life, his parents and relatives were still alive, and he lived in this Chang'an City. Every year on the days when the palace is allowed to leave the palace, he goes home to reunite with them.

"Go down! However, Huang Si is dead, and from now on you will be the dark seventy-four. "Li Yuan's figure sits on the throne, and at this moment he is the master of the world!
