Just as Li Su assured Zhang Jian that everything he said was true, Li Shimin finally arrived. First, a horse on the ancient road galloped over, reporting to Li Jiyu that the royal car had arrived, and then there was a 'rumbling' sound of carriages and horses in the distance, and then flags slowly rose from the distant horizon, and the royal car finally came.

I haven't seen the emperor's father for more than a year, and Li Su really misses him a little, so when he saw the carriage and horse in the distance, he was very excited, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Zhang Jian next to him. And Zhang Jian also had a happy expression, but he was rejoicing in his good fortune and at the same time rejoicing in the family behind him.

Although Zhang Jian's mother is the righteous daughter of Gaozu Li Yuan, she is not very valued, after all, there are many biological daughters of Gaozu, let alone a righteous daughter. At the same time, their Zhang family background is not very prominent, and they can barely enter the ranks of second-rate families, but if they can get the position of Anton Duhu in one fell swoop, then their Zhang family will not be able to enter the ranks of the top nobles, but it is not about the same, and he is still young now, and he will step down after a few years, and then enter the central government.

Seeing Li Shimin's carriage and horses appear, Li Ji and Niu Jinda stepped out together, and the generals behind Li Su also followed, and a team of people and horses quickly moved forward to greet the holy driver. And at this moment, a team also rushed out of the opposite team, and the leader was wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, which was His Majesty Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

"Hahaha~, Mao Gong, Jinda, you have worked hard!" Li Shimin took the lead and rushed over quickly. Seeing the two of them, Li Ji and Niu Jinda, who were the leaders, immediately laughed loudly, when he decided to attack Goguryeo, he was still a little hesitant, he didn't expect the war to go so smoothly, and most of the land of Goguryeo was conquered in just a few months, as long as he added the last force. The day of Goguryeo's destruction is just around the corner.

"The last general will see Your Majesty!" As soon as he saw Li Shimin, Li Ji, Niu Jinda and the generals behind him dismounted together, clasped their fists and saluted. Li Su also did the same in the crowd. Now that he is a general, he is naturally no exception, but he can look up and take a closer look at his emperor father. found that although he hadn't seen him for a year, the other party still had the same demeanor, and it was estimated that the war was going well on Goguryeo's side, which made Li Shimin look a little radiant, and even a few years younger.

Li Shimin also hurriedly dismounted to support him, and then delivered an inspiring speech, and after the team behind him followed, Li Ji and the two accompanied him left and right, and led the soldiers into the barracks, and then had a large banquet. At the banquet, the meritorious soldiers of this battle were praised one by one, and as for the rewards, they were not stingy at all, and large sums of money were handed out. While making the soldiers smile, their loyalty to Li Shimin has also been raised to a higher level.

At the same time, the meat of the army was also distributed among the various armies, so that all the soldiers could feel the care of His Majesty the Tang Emperor for them. At the banquet, Li Shimin deliberately named Li Su and asked him to accompany him. At the same time, he did not hesitate to praise Li Su's contribution to logistics and the battle to defend Dengzhou, and from time to time boasted to Li Ji and Niu Jinda that he had such an excellent good son, and Li Su, who had always been cheeky, was a little embarrassed.

After the banquet was over, Li Shimin did not let Li Su leave, but pulled him to his handsome tent, and after ordering someone to serve tea, Li Shimin patted Li Su's shoulder and said earnestly: "Su'er, you have done a good job in Dengzhou, and I am very pleased to see it in the eyes of my father!" ”

"The father and the emperor have praised it falsely, and the son is just doing the duty of a state assassin, and there is nothing to boast about!" Although Li Su was proud in his heart, he still made a modest look on the surface.

"Well, that's good, but when I came, your mother asked me to scold you on her behalf, do you want to hear it?" I haven't seen him for a year, Li Shimin looked at this son who was more mature and stable than a year ago, and he was also very happy in his heart.

"Uh~, why did the concubine scold her son?" Li was stunned for a moment, thinking about this year, he didn't seem to have missed anything? During the New Year's holidays and his mother's birthday, he didn't forget to give gifts, and he also changed his tricks to please his mother, why is the mother still dissatisfied?

"Haha~, can't you remember?" Li Shimin raised his head and laughed, patted Li Su's shoulder and said, "Your mother asked me to scold you, you have been married for a year, why don't you even have an heir, and she also heard that in addition to the princess, there is only one concubine without a name in your house, this is not like a prince, if you don't give her a grandson, she will personally choose a few for you!" ”

Li Su heard Li Shimin relay Concubine Yang's words, and his face also showed a little wry smile, although Concubine Yang did not say it explicitly, but in fact, Wen Xin already had a little blame, after all, as a princess, in addition to helping Li Su manage the internal affairs of the palace, the most important task is to continue the heirs of Li Su's lineage, if you can't give birth to yourself, then you have to recruit concubines, anyway, no matter who gives birth to a son, you have to call her mother-in-law.

But now Wen Xin has been married to him for a year, but he still hasn't given birth to a child, and he hasn't helped Li Yu Dona concubine, which makes Concubine Yang, as a mother, feel a little dissatisfied, thinking that Wen Xin is a good person who occupies her son and doesn't let go.

"Father, I really don't blame the princess for this matter, but I feel that I am still young and should not be too obsessed with women, so I have not let her help me take a concubine." Li Su hurriedly defended Wen Xin. Wen Xin is indeed not to blame for this matter, and even now that she is still a virgin, it is naturally impossible for her to get pregnant.

Li Shimin didn't mean to blame, but smiled and said: "Su'er, I know that you have great ambitions, and it is appropriate to have fewer women, but you are also sixteen years old, and you will be seventeen soon, and you should have a child, otherwise, even if you are not in a hurry, your mother is in a hurry to hold her grandson!" ”

Li Su was a little speechless after hearing this, Concubine Yang is only in her thirties this year, but she is in such a hurry to be a grandmother, in the next generation, some women like her may have just gotten married at her age.

"Speaking of your mother, I have a troublesome thing about her here, and I am very sad about this matter these days, but there is nothing I can do." Li Shimin's face suddenly showed a look of pity, and there was endless trouble in his tone.

"Troubles about the mother?" Li Su was shocked in his heart, hasn't the relationship between his father and his mother always been very good, what would make him show this look, could it be that something happened to his mother?

Li Shimin raised his head at this time and showed a wry smile, looked at Li Su and said: "Just before I came, your mother suddenly felt uncomfortable, so she asked the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat her, and it turned out that she was pregnant!" ”

"What? How is this possible? Li Su was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly stood up from the chair, his face full of incredulity. The reason why he was so shocked was because he immediately thought that according to the records in the history books, the youngest child of his emperor's father should be the princess of Xincheng born to Empress Changsun, that is, the little girl who is only more than two years old now, but now his mother is pregnant, but there is no record of this child in history.

Although Li Shimin felt a little strange about Li Su's huge reaction, he was still immersed in his thoughts, and sighed slowly: "Although your mother looks young, she is actually in her thirties, at such an old age, it is really not suitable to have any more children, a few years ago, the queen almost died on the spot because of the birth of Xincheng, and she was even more seriously ill afterwards, if it wasn't for you to recommend Sun Simiao, it is estimated that she would have left me long ago." ”

Li Shimin's words reminded Li Su at once, and at the same time made him shudder, it is absolutely impossible to record a prince or princess in the history books, so in this way, he thought of two possibilities: a good and a bad.

The first possibility is that because of his own crossing, it affected the married life of Li Shimin and his mother, and as a result, Li Shimin had one more child than in the original history, of course, this result is what Li Su is most willing to see.

But the second one may be very bad, that is, Li Su's crossing did not affect Li Shimin's heirs at all, although Concubine Yang was pregnant, she had a miscarriage halfway, and the child was not born at all, and even when she was about to be born, there was an accident, and the child could not be kept. But whether it was a miscarriage or an accident, it was not a good result for Concubine Yang.

And Li Su also knows, just like Li Shimin said, Concubine Yang's age is indeed not young, giving birth to a child in her thirties will be regarded as an advanced maternal age in the next generation, and even if it is such a developed medical method in the future, you have to be careful and careful, let alone in the Tang Dynasty, an era when there was no even the concept of disinfection? A woman giving birth to a child is like passing through a ghost gate, and if eight out of ten people survive, it is already considered lucky, and an elderly woman like Concubine Yang is almost nine deaths.

Li Su thought about it, the expression on his face changed, and finally made up his mind, took a step forward and hugged his fists and said: "Father, this child can't be wanted!" ”

Li Su also likes children, and he usually loves his son's younger brothers and sisters, and if he can have more brothers and sisters, he will naturally be more happy, but for the safety of his mother, he will never dare to take this risk.

When Li Shimin heard Li Su's words, he said helplessly: "Su'er, why do I want Concubine Yang to take risks?" Before I came, I had persuaded her many times to let her kill the child, but she resolutely refused, and let go of the cruel words, whoever dared to touch the child in her belly, then she would die with the other party! ”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Su and his emperor's father smiled bitterly, when this kind of thing happened, there was no way for him, who is a son, and the other party, who is a husband, at all! (Site. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
