Chapter 20 His Majesty Taizong who does not play cards according to common sense

When he saw that the broken water tank where he grew potatoes was moved to the back garden of the imperial city, Bai Qi looked at Li Shimin with sadness and indignation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

, you are a founding emperor, is it necessary to rob your own people?! Have it! Have it!

"White, how do you feel when you see this pot of potatoes?" Li Shimin glanced at the white chess, his hands behind his back, and behind him was a group of mature uncles.

"I don't feel good!" White said unhappily.

"Don't you think it's bad that I kept your potatoes in the palace?" Li Shimin began to exude his royal spirit.

"Potatoes are originally coarse and extensive crops, if they are raised in the palace and contaminated with luxury for a long time, I am afraid that the yield will decline!" White started talking nonsense.

It's a pity that Li Shimin didn't eat his set, stretched out his foot, kicked it on the white chess, pointed to the water tank and said: "No one can refuse the decision I made." This pot of potatoes is raised in this back garden, and I am very energetic when I see it every day. In the future, you will come here every three days to take care of this auspicious rui! Do you know? ”

It's almost a threat, what else can White say? Poor potatoes, poor potato stew, I don't know if I want to eat it for another year. White chess was very sad, Taizong and his group of ministers smiled happily, and Wei Chi Jingde handed over a very relieved look, so white chess was even more sad.

Facts have proved that a young man like White, a foreigner, has no human rights in front of Li Shimin. After that, he became Li Shimin's full-time potato farmer.

It's better to miss each other! The tall image of Li Shimin plummeted in his heart, so sometimes, some people just think about it, and what it may bring is disappointment and loss.

Li Shimin finally kicked Bai out of the palace because he was too young to listen to what their group of old men had to say.

If you don't listen to it, I really don't want to hear it! Bai Qi smiled and said to the eunuch Lu Zheng beside him: "Lu Neishi, boy, I don't know how to get out of the palace, can you take me out?" ”

Lu Zheng smiled, not as charming as Bai Qi saw on TV, but with a special uprightness: "Of course, Your Majesty asked me to send you out of the palace." ”

Out of the imperial city, riding a horse, white chess recognized the direction, along Suzaku Street, after walking out of Mingde Gate, rushed back in the direction of Taoyuan Village.

In the fields by the roadside, wheat is growing vigorously, and in the Wei River not far away, a waterwheel is slowly turning in the river every few hundred meters. When I left, it was just the tail of spring, and when I came back, summer had already emerged.

The weather began to get hot, there were not many people walking on the road, the white chess horse ran fast, and more than a month of military life had made him change very much, and the whole person had become much more masculine.

There is still a mile away from Taoyuan Village, looking at it from afar, a huge white archway is erected high, there is no word on the archway, down the archway, the stone steps made of bluestone long bricks, extend to Taoyuan Village one by one.

Liu Laohan was supported by the big bull, holding the crutch made of white chess, and behind him stood other villagers, standing under the archway, and when they saw white chess riding a fast horse back, everyone had a smile on their faces.

Before he reached the blue brick stone steps, Bai Qi jumped off the horse, ran in front of Liu Laohan, knelt on the ground, choked up and said, "Grandpa, Fengqu has worried you!" ”

"Good boy, it's okay, it's okay!" Liu Laohan happily touched Bai Qi's hair and helped him up.

The wide blue brick avenue is planted with locust trees, plum trees and other trees on both sides, and the houses of the original residents of Taoyuan Village have also been converted into bungalows, standing on both sides of the avenue. At the end of the blue brick avenue, a huge courtyard mansion appeared in front of Baiqi's eyes.

"After you were robbed, Your Majesty personally sent someone to the village, saying that you are all right, and that you are fighting the Turks. He also said that you have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, so I built you such a big house, and the rest of the village also built a bungalow with the help of the government! ”

"Why is there no word on the archway and the door number of our house?"

"I also asked such a question, and the person sent by His Majesty said, this, I have to wait for you to come back to decide!"

Bai Qi stood in place, thoughtful, and finally smiled, thinking about what to do so much, Li Shimin would not harm himself!

The sky is blue, and white is idle.

White was lying in a rocking chair, squinting his eyes, and reached for the mung bean paste, but he was empty.

"Dog!" White shouted, "Get the bowl back!" ”

Seeing that the dog was wearing open crotch pants, and the little Ding Ding under him was dangling, holding the bowl of mung bean paste, looking like he wanted to cry, Bai Qi smiled and slapped his ass lightly: "Stinky boy, if you want to eat, go to the kitchen and ask the kitchen aunt to take it, it's not a good habit to take other people's things without asking, you know?" ”

The dog bit his fingers, with tears in his eyes, and said cutely: "Well, I know! Then, jumping out of the arms of the white chess, he ran out in a puff of smoke, and in the corridor outside the door, several children also suddenly ran out, followed by the dogs, and ran towards the kitchen.

Attaboy! White was stunned for a few seconds, and then laughed, these little rabbit cubs, such a young can play with their hearts!

Since coming back, White has not gone anywhere, lying in a rocking chair and watching the white clouds and birds cross. When you are interested, you will play a few games of chess with your ancestors that you must lose, or you will have a dog around your neck and take a few children around the village all day long, and make the black dog at the entrance of the village nervous all day long, and hide when you see them, or when it rains, you will put on a hat and run alone to the Wei River to catch fish for a whole day, and then take the fish back and get a good dish or two.

On this day, it was drizzling, and White went out fishing again with a hat and a fishing rod as usual.

The subordinate ran over from the village and said breathlessly, "Young master, the imperial court has sent someone to look for you!" ”

White put away his rod, picked up the two fish he caught, and hurried back.

It was Lu Zheng, the closest chamberlain to Li Shimin, who was sitting in the living room drinking tea at the moment.

"It turned out to be Lu Neishi, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting so long!" After Bai Qi went back and changed his clothes, he went to the living room.

"I heard that Fengqu went fishing, it seems that you are very leisurely when you come back!" Lu Zheng put his hands in his sleeves, with an impeccable smile on his face: "A few days ago, Your Majesty commended the soldiers who came back in front of the Taimiao, because I heard that you were recuperating, so I didn't ask you to go." Now that Your Majesty has announced that you have something to do in the palace, you should hurry up and go with a certain family! ”

"Fengqu can go at any time, please lead the way!" White said with a fist clenched.

"Lu Neishi, is there anything Your Majesty is looking for me?" Bai Qi stuffed a bag of his fried tea leaves into Lu Zheng's hand and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty's thoughts, how dare I guess!" Lu Zheng smiled slightly, took the tea and put it in his arms.

Riding on a horse, White's heart floats. After coming back, the white archway at the entrance of Taoyuan Village, the blank plaque at the door of his house, and Li Shimin deliberately gave him such a long time to rest, Bai Qi had already vaguely guessed a little in his heart. Therefore, these days, he has been relaxing himself, only when Wei Chi Jingde left Chang'an to go to Tieshan to meet Li Jing, he did not do anything other than to say goodbye, on the one hand, the previous month was a huge trauma for himself, both physically and psychologically, and he needed to be healed with quiet; On the other hand, he was showing Li Shimin that he had no intention of power, and the previous high-profile was really a last resort.

In the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin stood tall, and next to him, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and other early Tang Dynasty bigwigs stood under him, looking at the white chess pieces that walked into the hall.

"Read!" When Li Shimin saw Bai Qi coming in, he waved his long sleeves, and a eunuch next to him took out a holy decree.

"What, make me the Marquis of the Clouds!" After reading the holy decree, Bai Qi was taken aback and looked at Li Shimin in puzzlement.

"Why, don't you like it, want to disobey my will?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked unhappily.

"Your Majesty, the minister just doesn't understand, what contribution does the minister have, can you be made a marquis by Your Majesty?"

"Building a new waterwheel, improving agricultural tools, implementable paper-making, and the auspicious potato, which is not a great achievement? Jingde said that you are brave and resourceful on the Evil Yang Ridge, and you also have military exploits. Since you have made great contributions to my Datang, it is not an exaggeration to make you a marquis! Li Shimin continued: "This matter has been decided like this, and Hugh has to mention it again!" ”

"But I really don't want to be a marquis!" Bai Qi muttered below: "Why don't you reward your majesty with some gold and silver to your ministers, those who look at it every day are so cute!" ”

Li Shimin was so angry that he walked down, stretched out his foot and kicked over. White Chess laughed, didn't dodge, and let Li Shimin kick it. The rest of the hall couldn't help but laugh.

"You said you, people want me to seal the Hou and I don't want to seal it, but now I want to seal you, it turns out that the whole person fell into the money bag!" Li Shimin pointed at the white chess pieces and said angrily.

"Fengqu, you have made a great contribution, as far as my Datang is concerned, there will be rewards for meritorious service, and you will be crowned Hou, in addition to rewarding your contributions, it also contains His Majesty's expectations for you, don't live up to it!" Fang Xuanling persuaded beside him.

"But I don't know what Master Hou is going to do? Wouldn't it be a loss of His Majesty's face if he didn't do it well? White grabbed his hair, very tangled.

The people in the hall laughed.

"I have said that no one can refuse the decision I have made! However, if you really don't want to be a marquis, as long as you do the following, I can consider granting you this unreasonable request! ”

Bai Qi raised his head, saw the corners of Li Shimin's mouth raised slightly, and suddenly realized that it was over, His Majesty Taizong did not play cards according to the convention, and he was trapped!
