When the guards were packing up their prey, Han Rui watched from the side for a moment, blinked a few times, thoughtfully, and saw that Li Chengqian was leaving, so he immediately stretched out his hand to stop it, and whispered a few words.

"Do you think it's really necessary?" Li Chengqian asked, a little hesitant.

Han Rui smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's just a decent excuse for you, it's up to you to listen to it or not." ”

After thinking about it, Li Chengqian ordered to go down, and although those military guards did not know what they meant, they obeyed the order, sorted out the prey again, and after cleaning it up, they rode back and soon returned to the camp.

At this time, the camp was very lively, the emperor's edict, no one dared to disobey the order, and no one thought of such a good thing as a banquet, and for a while, the camp was naturally bustling and expanded several times.

There are a large number of people who are qualified to stay in the main tent, and those who are naturally important ministers in the court and confidants of the emperor, but most of them are male surnames, and female dependents and the like have already gone to Li Palace.

With the light of Li Chengqian, he could walk unimpeded in the heavily guarded camp, Han Rui quietly looked and found a lot of acquaintances, Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun, who concentrated on chatting with a group of civil officials and Confucian scholars, but he didn't notice Han Rui's figure, and he naturally wouldn't rush forward to talk, so as not to reveal his identity and make people blast out of the banquet, although such worries are a bit unfounded, anyway, there are many rules for royal banquets, and there is nothing wrong with being careful.

"Brother Huang."

Just when Han Rui was muttering in his heart, a crisp children's voice came, the milk was not taken off, as if he was a little cowardly, looking for prestige, but he was a five or six-year-old appearance, white and clean, like a little boy carved in pink and jade, his appearance was very quiet and delicate, and his eyes were very clear.

Seeing Li Chengqian, his little face showed a little elated, beckoning his white and tender little hands, as if he was going to trot over to greet him, and looked back at the side, with a hesitant and hesitant face, full of the image of a well-behaved baby.

"Pheasant slave." Li Chengqian responded with a smile, and his attitude was very friendly to Li Ke and Li Tai.

Li Zhi? Han Rui looked at it curiously, and then retracted his gaze in disappointment, but he was just a child, he could see something, it was very ordinary, if there was anything different, it was nothing more than being educated by the royal family, and he was more knowledgeable than the children of ordinary people's families, well, maybe because of his excellent genes, his appearance was naturally delicate and cute.

"Pheasant slave, why are you here, father and queen mother?" Li Chengqian asked.

"The father and the emperor drank in the tent, ignoring the pheasant slaves." Li Zhi was a little aggrieved, his dark and pure eyes, shining, moist and shiny, which made people feel pity.

Next to him, there were a few beautiful little maidservants, who should be Li Zhi's maids, and when they saw Li Chengqian, they hurriedly saluted and helped to answer: "The queen went to Li Palace, and she originally took the Nine Emperor Princes there, but the Nine Emperor Princes insisted on staying." ”

"It's noisy here, why don't you go to Ligong with the queen mother." Li Chengqian said with a smile, simply reached out and picked up Li Zhi, and walked slowly towards the tent.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the royal brother, and the pheasant slave misses ......"

The guards of the camp account are more strict than just now, Han Rui and the others are naturally not qualified to go together, so they obediently stay outside and wait, and it didn't take long for Li Ke and Li Tai to return from hunting one after another, one was full of pride, and the other was full of spring breeze, which should be quite rewarding.

After a while, a drum sounded, the camp curtain opened, Li Shimin took the lead and walked out, walking like a tiger, naturally with a majestic bearing, followed by a kind old man, supported by Li Chengqian, holding Li Zhi with his right hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, there was no extraordinary temperament, but no one dared to disrespect him, because he was the founder of the Tang Empire, Gaozu Li Yuan.

However, with a talented son like Li Shimin, Li Yuan's mood must be very complicated, proud, helpless, sad, and entangled with each other, but after eight years of abdication, what mood is slowly dissipated in the years, as if he has seen through the red dust, and has reached the realm of returning to simplicity, except for the name of the emperor, he is no different from ordinary old people.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor, the Crown Prince...... the most noble family of the Tang Empire appeared, and everyone naturally did not slack off, and they came forward to salute in an orderly manner, hugged them, and came to the high platform of the camp.

As an outstanding orator, Li Shimin lived up to expectations, and with a loud and thick voice, he pointed out that today's banquet is not just for frolic, but also for the sake of the country's society, the so-called work and rest, Aiqing has worked hard for more than half a year, and many ministers have fallen ill and retired because of this, which is a loss for the imperial court, which makes my heart ache...... This kind of rhetoric, Han Rui is naturally not unfamiliar, when the future generations hold a meeting, each leader does not speak ten times or eight times, he can't show his care for the employees below, he listens too much, he doesn't feel anything, but the ministers present are different, hearing that the Son of Heaven cares about him so much, he was immediately moved, and shouted that he wanted to do his best and die.

All of a sudden, the crowd was boiling, Han Rui quietly glanced at it, there was a white-haired official next to him, and he looked short of breath, it was really doubtful, whether he would have realized this promise immediately because of excessive excitement, you come and go, the interaction is almost over, Li Shimin stretched out his hand and pressed lightly, and the scene immediately calmed down.

Satisfied with everyone's cooperation, Li Shimin turned sideways and said with a smile: "Emperor, just now Qian'er, Tai'er, and Ke'er were hunting, I don't know what the results are, please make a judgment." ”

Li Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "You just come." ”

Li Shimin didn't shirk anymore, and said with a smile: "Qian'er, Tai'er, and Ke'er, you can present the results of your hunting, so that the emperor and the ministers can see it. ”

The three of them responded, each gave orders, and the military guards hurriedly drove to the front of the high platform and placed the prey in a row, such as elk, gray wolf, leopard, wild boar, etc., as if they were just the most ordinary animals, and even a huge black bear.

Because of Han Rui's persuasion, Li Chengqian's prey was not much, only two carts, but Li Ke's harvest was very remarkable, and in the case of clearing the birds and sparrows, the six carriages were fully loaded, and the black bear was from his handwriting, which was praised by everyone, Li Ke was happy in his heart, but he did not forget to be humble and courteous.

Compared with the two brothers, Li Tai's luck seems to be a little bad, only a carriage came, and when Li Chengqian and Li Ke put the prey out, he didn't move, or he knew that there were not many prey, so he was embarrassed to take out his hand.

"Tai'er, don't be discouraged, you are not good at martial arts, and it is normal that you can't hunt as well as the two brothers." When everyone speculated, Li Shimin actually comforted him, which shows how much he likes the little fat man.

The corners of his mouth bloomed with a warm smile, Li Tai looked calm, calmly lifted the curtain, everyone watched, for a while, a few people even couldn't help it, exclaimed in a low voice, only to see that the carriage was empty, not even a single bird feather and beast feather, let alone any prey.

Among the present, the most important thing is the person with a flexible brain, and he instantly understood that Li Tai must have done it on purpose, otherwise he was not proficient in riding and shooting, but the servants around him were agile and skilled, and he was hunting with him, how could he not have gained anything, the question was, why did he do this.

"Blue Sparrow, why is that?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Tai replied respectfully: "At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the weather is cold, and the traces of birds and beasts are gradually disappearing. ”

The generals did not react to this answer, but the civilian officials praised it.

"Yue Wang Rende." A white-haired old man stood up and praised and said: "Tang out, seeing that the field is open on all sides, it is to go to three sides, leaving only one of them. ”

Tang, but the emperor who destroyed Xia Xingshang, compared him with Li Tai, either he was old and faint, or he had ulterior motives, Han Rui secretly slandered, carefully observed and looked, and found that there was nothing unusual about everyone, and he couldn't help but wonder if he was a little sensitive.

In the voice of praising Li Tai, Li Ke's face was a little unnatural, he had worked hard for a long time, and he had gained the most, but it was not as good as the one who had no gain, no matter how powerful he was, he would inevitably have a little resentment in his heart, but there should be someone more angry than himself, glancing at Li Chengqian, Li Ke felt balanced in his heart, and his face showed a smile like a spring breeze.

Looking approvingly, Li Shimin smiled and said: "Tai'er is benevolent and commendable, but in terms of the number of prey, Ke'er should be the first." ”

Li Ke smiled brightly, and when he was about to step forward to thank him, an old man stood up and said with righteousness: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, the saint has clouds, and the benevolent love people......"

Quoting scriptures, gushing, strong words, reversing black and white, uh, that's what it means anyway, the emperor should not judge the victory or defeat by the number of prey, but pay attention to the character of the prince, and should be the first king of Yue, but he has the approval of a group of civil officials.

Li Shimin was thoughtful, it was clear that he was moving, Li Ke saw it, and his heart was naturally very uncomfortable, during which there were also one or two officials who stood up to argue for him, but they were drowned in the rolling spittle, and they were helplessly defeated.

After a deep sigh, Li Shimin asked with a habitual surname: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" ”

There were no less than hundreds of officials present, but the nobles were self-aware, and they also knew that at this time, the emperor was definitely not asking himself, so he immediately obediently retreated and gave up his position, such as the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, old foxes, who were extremely sleek, and looked like they were obedient to the holy judge, so they didn't have to count on them, but Wei Zheng was not ambiguous and stood up in stride.

Circling around the prey, Wei Zheng arched his hand and said, "The minister thinks that the prince should be the first." ”

Ha, everyone was immediately stunned, and looked at Wei Zheng blankly, isn't he the most upright and selfless, when did he change, he actually knew that he was flattering.

It's no wonder that some people are so suspicious, how to say that the crown prince is also the future emperor, and it is very normal to behave obediently to him, if it were not in full view, Li Chengqian's achievements would not be outstanding, otherwise someone would definitely have made this suggestion to the emperor just now.
