No one noticed that after the court meeting, the eldest grandson Wuji quietly entered the Chengqing Palace.

In previous years, as a member of his mother's family, it was reasonable for him to go to the eldest grandson to pay New Year's greetings.

But now, Empress Changsun has been dead for a long time, and he can only meet Emperor Li Shimin when he enters the palace.

On such a special day, is it just for New Year's greetings, the uncle and son-in-law chatted privately?

"Auxiliary, I came to you to talk about the candidate to send troops to Gaochang." After Li Shimin sat down, he got straight to the point and went straight to the point.

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't say anything in the court, but after all, he couldn't escape this "catastrophe", and he still had to say that as the official of the court, he always had an attitude towards major things.

The eldest grandson Wuji said softly: "Your Majesty, have you made up your mind to start a war with Gaochang?" ”

"Or else?" Li Shimin's rhetorical question thoroughly explained his attitude.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "The Gaochang Rebellion should indeed be crusaded against, but a lot of troops have to be mobilized in this battle!" ”

"I've already thought about it, thousands of miles away, if you want to ensure food and grass, I'm afraid you can mobilize more than 10,000 soldiers and horses." Li Shimin sighed: "The number of troops is limited, so the generals who lead the troops are very important and quite tricky. ”

"Your Majesty does he have a preliminary candidate?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked in a low voice, which had the meaning of being anti-guest-oriented.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Slippery head, you count with your fingers, how many people can take on this heavy responsibility?" ”

"Uh...... Your Majesty said that, but it is true. The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Li Ji may not be able to leave in Bingzhou, the king of Jiangxia County needs to guard against Xue Yantuo in Lingzhou, and Xue Wanche is a ......little older."

"So it's just him!" Li Shimin frowned and said, "Do you have to let me say it first, can you and I be so hidden and hypocritical?" ”

"Yes, yes!" The eldest grandson Wuji is still submissive, but he still doesn't say a word about who to send the troops.

Li Shimin was not really angry, and said leisurely: "Hou Junji is a military general, and he is resolute, and it is only a temporary expedient measure to let him preside over the ministry." The rectification of the government has done a good job. But for this, I have not offended people, and I can't help him.

It stands to reason that he should be compensated a little, but Gao Chang is a hard bone, and there may be no one else who can take on this heavy responsibility except Hou Junji, so he has to be wronged. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji echoed: "Duke Lu Guo is one of the best generals in my dynasty, presumably officialdom and military service are really suitable for him, and he must be willing to share his worries for His Majesty." ”

Li Shimin said: "Well, having said that. But I still have to talk to Junji, I don't want to use an edict to oppress people and make the ministers resentful. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Humph!" Li Shimin pretended to be displeased, and said with a change of expression: "I heard that Cheng Qian and Qingque have given you New Year's gifts?" ”

"Ah yes, the children of the emperors are filial, and they all remember the uncle of Chen, not only the prince and the king of Wei, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, but also the three princesses of Chengyang, Hengshan and Jinyang. Your Majesty is reassured. The minister also prepared a generous New Year's money. ”

"Hmph, Hugh wants to go around the bend with me, and give my nephews New Year's money, that's what you should, am I worried that you have mistreated your nephews?"

Li Shimin frowned and said, "As for the nephews, you should also be honored." However, the little things sent by the pheasant slaves and the princesses are really meager, which is better than Chengqian and Qingque. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "The courtesy is light and important, and the hearts of the nephews (daughters) are no matter how heavy they are." The ministers were satisfied. ”

"Come on, is he interesting in terms of left and right?"

"Your Majesty, the backs of your hands are full of meat. They are all sons of His Majesty and nephews of the ministers. The eldest grandson Wuji gritted his teeth and said a seemingly inexplicable answer.

But Li Shimin understood, and after hearing this answer, there was a long silence, and it took a long time before he said: "If it is a commoner's family, I am naturally willing to treat everyone equally, but they were born in the royal family, and these thousands of miles ...... the country."

"Your Majesty, that's why you need to be extra cautious." The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly advised.

"I know what I know." Li Shimin said: "If it weren't for the last resort, how would I make trouble for myself?" ”

"Your Majesty Yankangfang has gone to decide?" The eldest grandson Wuji cautiously asked tentatively.

"Of course!" Li Shimin smiled: "I went to my son's house to sit down, is there a problem?" ”

"Okay!" The eldest grandson Wuji groaned: "Your Majesty can also go to the East Palace to sit when you have time!" ”

"Slippery head!" Li Shimin complained and groaned: "You can have a bowl of water, it's the best, and I don't have to worry." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's heart shook violently, Li Shimin seemed to be a light sentence, but he heard something strange. His Majesty the Emperor is hinting at himself, as for the content of the hint, the eldest grandson Wuji, who is old and refined, naturally understands.

His Majesty Li Er didn't let himself get involved in the struggle of the princes, especially the East Palace and the Wei Palace, why?

Afraid that I will be embarrassed to be an uncle? Are you worried that you're helping a nephew? Or is it something else?

Anyway, the eldest grandson Wuji knew in his heart that there were stormy waves, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

If you only talk about yourself, maybe go home and drink a hundred cups, and then be grateful, but when you think of the situation that may arise in the future, the eldest grandson Wuji feels uneasy in his heart.

is still the same sentence, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and they are all nephews of his eldest grandson's family. It was hard for him to imagine how his sister would feel if she was still alive in the world and saw the current situation.

In vain, who let them be born in the royal family?

Moreover, no matter which prince is the biological son of His Majesty the Emperor, he can be ruthless, what is there to others that cannot accept?

"Yes, I obey!" The eldest grandson Wuji bowed and made an answer and promise to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Auxiliary, Guanyin is gone, I have time to let Changle go back to the palace to take a look, I am too busy, and my younger brother and sister have to trouble her eldest sister to help take care of it." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji understood that this was another hint, the focus was on the words "young younger siblings", Li Chengqian and Li Tai were both adults, and they didn't need Changle to take care of them, what did this mean?

The eldest grandson Wuji, whose heart is like a mirror, immediately nodded and said: "The minister understands, and he will tell Princess Changle to know when he goes back." ”

"Hmm!" Li Shimin nodded and said, "You inform Honglu Temple and ask them to send people to Tuyuhun to discuss the joint dispatch of troops; Then send someone to inform Li Ji and Li Daozong to guard against Xue Yantuo and prevent Yi Nan from taking advantage of the fire to rob.

The matter of Gaochang must be settled as soon as possible, Xie Yi did not say it today, but we should all understand that behind Gaochang are the Western Turks. If you can't contain them this time, they will be even worse in the future. ”

"Yes, I obey." The eldest grandson Wuji immediately received the order.

Li Shimin said leisurely: "Well, let's go back to the house after we finish it, and then talk about it after the New Year, no matter what, there will be serious actions after fifteen." (To be continued.) )
