(I came back in the afternoon today, and when I opened the webpage, I saw that everyone cared about me, and I was really moved, really.) Suddenly, there were so many monthly passes, so many rewards, and so many heartwarming words, and my nose immediately became sore. A thirty-year-old man, if he really wants to cry, it's not a shame! Thank you, I'll go down and continue to code, thank you for your monthly passes and tips, thank you for your support to me! I've read every book review, and my heart is warm! ）

Chapter 563 It's Late, Your Highness!

The teacups on the table were steaming out, and because the windows were closed, there was not a trace of wind in the room, and the heat was bubbling up and down the nostrils, and even if the tea was not drunk, it could be drunk. It's just that the person sitting at the table didn't have a hint of intoxication, and his fingers tapped the table rhythmically, making a sound like the sound of a war drum stepped out of the four hooves of a war horse.

The weather had turned cold, and the young man sitting at the table had already put on a large coat with a mink collar, so that his already white face seemed even whiter, as if he had not been in the sun for a long time hidden in a dark corner. This is a somewhat morbid white, different from the woman's white full of elasticity and luster, this white has some unforgettable yin energy, especially the chill in his eyes.

"Uncle Eldest Sun"

The young man banging on the table was none other than Li Shimin, he stopped his hand movements and asked with a smile: "It seems that this is the sixth time that Uncle Changsun has gone on an expedition with me, right?" ”

The eldest grandson Shunde, who was sitting not far away, trembled slightly, and some kind smiles squeezed out of his wrinkled face. He wasn't really old, maybe he had done so much trouble over the years that he looked much older than his peers, his temples had been smeared with a layer of frost and snow, and the wrinkles on his forehead were like those ravines on the Loess Plateau.

"Your Highness, the minister doesn't dare."

He quickly stood up and leaned over, hung his head and said.

"Don't dare?"

Li Shimin repeated, and then smiled more meaningfully: "Uncle Eldest Sun, although he is not like the eldest brother and Xuanba Yuanji, he didn't grow up next to his father, and he didn't play on your lap when he was a child, like the eldest brother. But you know that since Gu returned to Taiyuan from the old mansion in Longxi, your respect for Uncle Changsun will never be less than that of the eldest brother, and you seem to take special care of Gu. Lone still remembers the first day in Taiyuan, when you took Lone's hand and walked from yard to yard, and walked through a yard as big as the Li family. ”

Although Lone grew up in Longxi since he was a child, his father's teachings were not less. Lone still remembers that when Lone was nine years old, his father said to Lone when he returned to the old house in Longxi that the people of the Li family, the heirloom of poetry and books, pay the most attention to ethics and humility, and order the young and the old. You have always been in the Li family, just like family. Lone does treat you as an elder, so why don't you dare to accept it when you call you uncle, you would never refuse to call you that way before. ”

The eldest grandson Shunde opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say with a bitter mouthful. Li Shimin didn't give him a chance to say anything, and when the eldest grandson Shunde was still a little embarrassed, he suddenly raised his voice and said: "If people don't dare to do anything, they must be afraid of something." But if there is no guilt in your heart, there is no need to be afraid. Uncle Eldest Sun, what are you afraid of? ”

"Minister"

The eldest grandson Shunde suddenly sighed, straightened up and said in a solemn tone: "Say something offensive to Tianwei, do your best to be a minister, do what Your Majesty needs your Majesty to do, and never have the slightest thought, so the minister has no shame in his heart, that is, even His Majesty is not afraid." ”

"Oh?"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up suddenly, and then he asked with a smile: "In that case, why does Uncle Eldest Sun say that he doesn't dare?" ”

The minister said that he didn't dare, in fact, His Highness already had the answer in what he said just now. Your Majesty once said to you that you want to talk about ethics and humility, in the past, the minister dared to call your uncle at Your Highness, because His Highness was not His Highness at that time, but now it is different, Your Majesty has become the co-lord of the world, how can the minister still do things without dignity? You are the Lord, so you don't dare. ”

"It's kind of interesting."

Li Shimin asked with a smile: "But Gu heard that the eldest brother has never changed his name to you. Why, the eldest brother called you Uncle Changsun, but you can't make it alone? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the king of the future, the king has a life, and the ministers dare not disobey."

The eldest grandson replied with a humble tone, but not humbly.

"So that's the case, because the eldest brother is the prince, and Lone is just a king."

Li Shimin's smile gradually cooled, stood up and walked to the eldest grandson Shunde, looked at the old and somewhat sad face, and asked word by word: "Just because Lone is just a king, Uncle Changsun is going to abandon me?" ”

"Why did Your Highness say this?"

The eldest grandson, Shunde, bowed his head again and said, "The minister is terrified. ”

"You're not afraid!"

Li Shimin said angrily: "If you were afraid, you wouldn't have done such a thing!" How does loneliness treat you? treats you as your heart and obeys your words, but what about you, as soon as Chen Yinshou died, you immediately posted it to the eldest brother's side, could it be that the rice on the prince's side is fragrant, the tea is fragrant, the words are fragrant, and even the farts are fragrant? ”

"Where's the Prince?"

The eldest grandson Shunde raised his head sharply and asked, "The minister has always been by His Majesty's side, on the side of the Tang Dynasty. So I don't understand the meaning of His Royal Highness's words, of course, the minister didn't remember it, and he would forget it when he went out. ”

"You're going to blackmail me?"

Li Shimin sneered and asked: "I said half of what Gu said just now, and my father said to Gu, the people of the Li family should talk about the respect and inferiority of the elders and the young, and what my father gave me, I can't do it if I don't want it." If your father doesn't give it, don't even think about it. ”

He looked at the eldest grandson Shunde and said coldly: "But my father now has the intention of giving to Gu, even if my father didn't think about giving Gu, since Gu was born in the emperor's family, he always has to fight." You ran to the eldest brother's side, just because he is the prince, and you just said that the prince is the king of the future, but are you sure about the future? ”

"Lone hates people who do wrong things and don't think they're wrong, and Lone always has to teach some lessons to such people."

The eldest grandson Shunde raised his head violently, looked at Li Shimin's eyes and said, "Your Highness doesn't dare!" ”

"Don't dare?"

Li Shimin looked up to the sky and laughed heartily: "Since Lone is so clear to you today, what else is there not to dare?" There are some words that not everyone can listen to casually. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead and looked down at his fingers that had been strangled with blood. There were only two feathered arrows left in the quiver beside him, and the besieging men outside showed no sign of retreating. Most of the more than 100 guards around him had been killed or wounded, but the losses of the people outside were not very large.

Through the intense inky night, the well-trained soldiers outside the compound continued to bully the courtyard gate, their cooperation was extremely skillful, a group of five, several groups covered and supported each other, and the hard bows and crossbows in their hands were complete, and the combat ability was even stronger than the soldiers under the Changsun Wuji.

"Do you want to extinguish the torches in the yard?"

Changsun Hao asked hurriedly.

The people outside were in the dark, effectively hiding their figures. Suddenly, he stormed the courtyard gate, and suddenly came from a certain wall. And the torches were lit in the courtyard, and the eldest grandson Wuji was in the light.

"Can't be destroyed!"

Changsun Yong interrupted him: "The enemy can hide in the night, but we can't. Once all the torches in the yard are extinguished, we won't be able to see the enemy from the outside! ”

"What then?"

Changsun Hao said angrily: "If we are beaten so passively, our people won't be able to last long!" ”

"If you can't hold on, you have to persevere!"

The eldest grandson Wuji tore off a corner of his shirt and wrapped his fingers, took the quiver handed over by his own soldiers and said: "As long as you hold on until dawn, no matter how strong the enemy you can see is, it will not be terrible." The people outside are even more anxious than us, and their advantage is gone when the night recedes! If we really don't have the cover of the night, how many arrows in our hands can miss? ”

"But our arrows may not last until dawn!"

"Then use stones to demolish the house!"

Eldest Sun Wuji gritted his teeth and spoke, and then leaned out of the wall again to aim at the enemy, but apparently his luck was too bad, so he stood up, and an armor-piercing cone flew over and shot at his shoulder by mistake. The armor-piercing cone was so powerful that the cluster of arrows drilled through the shoulder socket and out of the back. With a jerk of his body, he tumbled off the table he was treading on, and fell to the cold hard bluestone floor with a thud.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who landed on the ground, subconsciously whispered: "Don't shout!" ”

Changsun Hao and the others were frightened enough, but they still understood what Changsun Wuji meant at the first time. They jumped down from the table and hurriedly helped the eldest grandson Wuji up. The eldest grandson Wuji grinned in pain, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Help me up, don't let the soldiers see that I am injured." ”

Eldest Sun Hao's nose was sour, and he helped Eldest Sun Wuji to climb onto the table again.

"Childe, bear with me!"

Changsun Yong lowered his voice and said, then held the arrow shaft with one hand, and cut down the exposed feather arrow with a knife, Changsun Wuji's body trembled in pain and scolded: "Who the hell shot the arrow so off!" ”

The eldest grandson Liuqi, who was standing at the door of the house, kept looking at the eldest grandson Wuji, and was startled when he saw him fall, and subconsciously wanted to rush out but was pulled by the eldest grandson Wuji, who had tears in his eyes, and slowly shook his head: "Don't go......"

The eldest grandson Liuqi smashed his fist against the wall with red eyes, and his eyes turned red. It was not the first time he had been on the battlefield, so he naturally knew what the eldest grandson meant. Once the eldest grandson Wuji can't support it, the morale of the soldiers will immediately collapse, and now the morale is as thin as a layer of paper, once there is no resistance, the people outside will immediately rush in like wolves, tearing all the people in the courtyard into pieces.

"Light more torches!"

The eldest grandson Wujian suddenly said hurriedly: "The more the better, tear the clothes, light the torch and throw it outside, throw it as far as you can!" There was wood in this yard, and a fire was lit, and all the burning wood was thrown out! ”

The eldest grandson Liuqi's eyes lit up, and he responded and hurriedly beckoned someone to light the fire.

……

……

"Your Highness doesn't dare!"

The eldest grandson Shunde roared with irrepressible anger in his eyes.

"Don't dare?"

Li Shimin smiled, walked back to the chair and sat down, and said in a flat voice: "Uncle Changsun, do you dare to be lonely?" You are the marching commander of the army, and you must have transferred two regiments of the Split Tiger Battalion guards out to hide from you, of course, Lone didn't intend to hide it from you. But do you know, where did the guards of the Split Tiger Battalion of these two regiments go? ”

Li Shimin pointed to the north, smiled and said: "This auxiliary machine has just crossed the Yellow River, you know, it is close to Wang Shichong's territory, who knows if there will be any homeless people and bandits?" Lone is worried about the danger of the auxiliary machine, and if he dies at the hands of the bandits, won't he be wronged? Therefore, the guards of the two regiments were transferred to pick up the auxiliary aircraft. ”

"You!"

Eldest Sun Shunde's eyes widened suddenly, and his face instantly turned extremely pale: "You are confused!" ”

"Confused?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed: "You understand!" ”

"I've been walking close to you, why did I suddenly lean towards the prince? I just reminded you again and again that everything I do is for Your Majesty, why don't you understand! If it weren't for His Majesty's intentions, how could I get closer and closer to the crown prince! You...... Your heart is too poisonous, Li Shimin! You can become the marshal of this Eastern Crusade, and the reason why I will go over is because of Your Majesty's will, don't you understand that Your Majesty is doing this?! ”

"Your Majesty?"

Li Shimin was startled and suddenly woke up.

His Majesty asked me to be a marshal to give my eldest brother a sense of urgency. But His Majesty didn't want to be too strong, so he sent the eldest grandson Shunde to the eldest brother! Speaking of which, he's still for the eldest brother!

"Quick, send someone to transfer the Split Tiger Battalion back!"

Li Shimin shouted eagerly.

"It's late...... Your Highness"

Li Jing shook his head, and his face became a little pale.
