When night fell, Pei Lin walked out of the Taiji Palace with a blue face, and bumped into Li Yuanji who came in a hurry, and said hello to him patiently. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Yuanji was dressed in a military uniform, the boots under his feet were covered with muddy water, and he was sweating profusely, because the light was too dim, he couldn't see Pei Lian's face clearly, and he still said with a smile on his face: "Today I beat two extremely fat yellow sheep, and I chased them for a long time to catch up, and I turned around and sent them to Pei Gong's mansion." ”

"Then thank you King Qi......" Pei Lin barely suppressed the anger in his heart and arched his hand towards Li Yuanji.

"It's just a gesture," Li Yuanji still smiled unconsciously, "This king is good at hunting in his life, you can go without food for three days, but you can't go without hunting for a day......"

"If nothing else, I'll take my leave." Pei Xiao arched his hand impatiently towards Li Yuanji, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he walked down the stairs angrily.

"Huh?" Li Yuanji frowned, this time he finally realized that something was wrong, and he didn't know what was wrong with Pei Lian, it seemed to be deflated, then again, Pei Lian was in power, and there were few things that could make him so angry, and now it was rare to see Pei Shangshu, who was invincible on weekdays, so out of shape.

After entering the Taiji Palace, Li Yuanji found that his second brother Li Shimin was also inside, and next to him stood Wang Mai, who had been looking at him for a long time.

"Shiro is here......" Li Yuan saw Li Yuanji come in, raised his hand and beckoned to him, "Come and sit beside me." "As the saying goes, the eldest son and grandson, the lifeblood of the old lady, Li Yuan and Queen Dou have a total of four sons, the third Li Xuanba died early, Li Yuanji is the youngest, Lao Li has always doted on this fourth child, especially after Queen Dou died of illness, it is doubly favored by him.

Compared with the mild-mannered Li Jiancheng and the young and mature Li Er, Li Yuanji has been put on a stubborn hat since he was a child. There is not a single teacher who has taught him who has not been higher than him in front of Lao Li. As a local official, Li Yuanji often went to people's fields to trample and hunt at will, regardless of the lives of the people, causing local officials and people to suffer unspeakably.

But when these letters of complaint arrived in front of Lao Li's eyes, he picked them up heavily, and put them down gently, often making a gesture, going to a letter to reprimand, or punishing the actual seal, and there was no further punishment. Lao Li always felt that compared to the crown prince who will inherit the throne in the future and Li Er, who is in power, Li Yuanji is the most vulnerable one, and he can't raise his godfather's faults, he blames Li Yuanji for all kinds of vices, thinking that he didn't teach his son well, which made the fourth son so stubborn, and he has a lot of regrets for his son.

"Hey......" Li Yuanji agreed, while taking the wet towel from the maid's hand and wiping his sweat.

Watching Li Yuanji sit down next to Li Yuan, Li Er's heart was lonely for a while, once upon a time, he was the most optimistic one for his father, but I don't know when it started, the relationship between the two is more like a monarch and a minister, and there is rarely a strong family relationship between father and son.

Wang Mai secretly looked at Li Yuan, who was helping Li Yuanji wipe his sweat, compared to Li Er, Li Yuan was a more humane emperor. Probably because his parents died when he was young, he lacked family care, and then he worked as an official outside all the year round, and the family got together less and left more, and now he has reached the age of full of sideburns, and his heart is full of desire for family affection.

From his attitude towards Pei Lian, it can be seen that Lao Li is a person who values love and righteousness, as an emperor, although sometimes he is inevitably a little favoritistic, but on the whole, he still shows a rare and honest face to the world, as an outsider, he quickly won the support of the people in Guanzhong, and also made the Tang Dynasty really take root here.

Compared with these founding emperors, Wang Mai found that Lao Li was probably the most tolerant of them. Han Gaozu and Ming Taizu are both famous for killing heroes, Zhao Kuangyin did not kill, and came out with a glass of wine to release the military power, even the Taizu of later generations...... Compared with these people, Li Yuan couldn't wait to share everything with Pei Lian, and even the other civil and military generals were not sparing rewards.

"Hunting again?" Lao Li looked at Li Yuanji with some anger, "On a hot day, it's not good to have heat stroke." ”

Li Yuanji lowered his head and didn't say a word when he heard this, and let his father whisper in his ear for a long time.

"Call you into the palace this time......" After chattering for a long time, Lao Li finally remembered the matter, but looking at the little son next to him, he couldn't bear to say it, and said in his heart that Pei Lin and the second child of the money mill would not give it, but the fourth child would spend a lot on weekdays, and if there was a shortage, it would be hard for him.

Li Er saw that his father didn't say his purpose for a long time, he was sweating profusely and couldn't stop glancing at his father.

Li Yuan was familiar with it, and talked to Li Yuanji for a long time, but he left Li Er and Wang Mai next to him aside.

Wang Mai rolled his eyes, this Lao Li is too capable of pretending, everyone has called, which one is this? Looking at Li Er, who looked impatient next to him, Wang Mai coughed and arched his hand towards Lao Li: "Your Majesty, the issue of copper coins is not trivial, Your Majesty promised to take back the coinage of King Qin, King Qi, and Duke Pei this time, which is really a blessing for all the people." Afraid that Li Yuanji next to him would not be able to hear clearly, Wang Mai deliberately slowed down his speech, and bit the word "King Qi" very clearly.

Li Yuan was embarrassed when he heard this, after Wang Mai's theory just now, Li Er made it clear that he was willing to give up the money foundry, he spoke at the time, determined to take back his life, but as soon as Li Yuanji came in, he regretted it again, and was thinking about how to drag this matter over, but Wang Mai said that this person didn't know how to lift.

"What?" Li Yuanji was shocked when he heard this, and looked at his father in disbelief, "Father, what he said is true?" ”

Li Yuan looked at his son helplessly, and nodded stubbornly: "This matter is indeed ill-considered, and I only found out after your second brother and Wang Tejin reminded me......" Lao Li's voice became smaller and smaller, and he didn't know if Li Yuanji heard it clearly.

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Er with hatred when he heard this, and said that he was so vicious, the second child was so ruthless, this was completely killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, no wonder Pei Lian's face was so ugly, and the income from thousands of dollars was gone, and it would not be easy to change it to anyone.

Li Er quietly gave Wang Mai a thumbs up, he was not suitable to say this, no matter what the purpose, if it fell into the ears of outsiders, he would be put on a hat that bullied his brother and ignored family affection, but it was different from Wang Mai's mouth. He is a foreign minister, and he has the right to advise, which is justified.
