As soon as Li Yuan's words came out, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were shocked one after another, they had thought about this possibility for each other, but they didn't expect Li Yuan to mean this too.

After pondering for a moment, Li Jiancheng hesitated: "Luo Shixin is young and promising, wise and brave, and he and the third sister are a match made in heaven. It's just that the general is only in his early twenties this year, and the third sister is six years older than her. It seems a bit ......" He didn't say it all, but it was clearly against it. If Roesch had accepted his wooing and become a member of the princelings, I believe his answer today would have been different. But it is clear that Roesson did not give an obvious answer.

Li Jiancheng knew the potential of Luo Shixin, and tried every possible way to woo him, in order to add a strong reinforcement to himself. But the value of his existence is just a strong reinforcement. It is a big help to get it, and it can only be said that it is a pity to lose it, but it cannot set off any storms. He has been operating in the Tang Dynasty political arena for many years, and he has also attracted a group of capable cadres, and he will not cause much loss because of the lack of Luo Shixin. is worthy of spare effort, the key is to cherish talent because of love.

But if Luo Shixin married Binh Duong, the situation would be very different. Luo Shixin was originally a general that Li Yuan relied on, and he became one of the imperial relatives, coupled with Li Yuan's unique calf protection mentality, Pingyang's prestige in the military, Luo Shixin's status was even more extraordinary.

The combination of Pingyang Garo Shixin, who is second only to Li Shimin and not inferior to Li Yuanji in the Tang Army, will become a key force in the situation.

With Li Jiancheng's wit, it is not difficult to see that although Luo Shixin did not become a party of King Qin, he was very close to Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin in King Qin's party, and also had a certain relationship with Li Shimin. Li Shimin is just like him. Luo Shixin was moved by the idea of loving and cherishing talents, and the probability of joining the Qin Wang Party was even higher than that of joining the princelings.

Li Jiancheng no longer dared to take this risk, and he now relied on the power of the government in the court and the help of Li Yuanji. The overall strength is better than Li Shimin. But the combination of Luo Shixin and Pingyang is coupled with Li Shimin, whose military prestige is far above him, and these forces are condensed, that is, he is powerless to resist.

When Li Jiancheng saw the two together in Pingyang Mansion, he had such a thought in his heart, unless Luo Shixin became a princeling, he would never let them be together and become a being who could threaten and shake his position.

Li Yuan's brows furrowed. Displeased: "What's the matter if you're older, isn't there a saying among the people, female college six." Can't have enough fun! Obviously very dissatisfied with Li Jiancheng's rhetoric.

Li Shimin said in passing: "Erchen thinks they are very compatible, but in fact, Erchen can see that the third sister is a little interesting to the general." When he was in Beiping, the general traveled thousands of miles to invite Sun Simiao's divine doctor, but the third sister asked her son to tell the general to go back to Chang'an. At first, Erchen didn't understand. Thinking about it later. But suddenly, I didn't expect that the third sister, a character who is not inferior to her eyebrows, would also have a daughter's posture. ”

Li Yuan was puzzled, Luo Shixin tried his best, but Pingyang didn't see a single face, and he didn't say thank you, which was extremely morally unreasonable.

Li Shimin continued with a smile: "At that time, the third sister was seriously ill, and she was only awake for half a month and a half. As a result, some of them were haggard and withered. Of course, I don't want to see the general like that. But the key to this matter is still with the general, I don't know what he thinks? ”

Li Shimin is scheming, and his intelligence is by no means inferior to Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng can see the key, he can't see it, he thinks he has a supportive mentality.

Li Yuan grinned happily and nodded happily: "When the general went to Goguryeo, my father received a letter from Pingyang. said that if she had any accidents, it was definitely not the general's fault, and the letter also praised the general's wisdom and bravery, and she would definitely become a pillar of the Tang Dynasty. As for the general, my father personally went to say it, I didn't believe that he would refuse, and I promised him Pingyang to him, and I humiliated him. ”

Li Yuan is a good father, and he is the most concerned about this kind of thing, and he said that he would do it himself.

Although Li Jiancheng was reluctant to see this situation, he had nothing to do.

The two brothers said goodbye to Li Yuan together.

Both of them lived in the palace and shared the same road, but the two brothers walked one after the other, and no one spoke, and the atmosphere was dull.

Until the time of parting ways, Li Jiancheng involuntarily paused.

Li Shimin also said the first sentence: "Big brother, let's go, don't pass by." ”

Li Jiancheng also said: "Okay, go slowly." ”

Along the way, only pale and simple dialogue remained.

When did the relationship between the brothers become so indifferent?

Li Jiancheng took a look at the back of Li Shimin's departure, he was ten years older than Li Shimin, and it can be said that he grew up. When he was sensible, it was at his most rebellious age. Naughty and mischievous, he always asks him for help when he gets into trouble, and he has repeatedly protected him, but now, ......

Li Jiancheng let out a sigh and took a firm step.

Things have come to this point, but there are no regrets. This is the consciousness that a prince must have in an imperial family. If you don't have this awareness, it is better to give up the position of the crown prince.

However, for Li Shimin and his second brother, Li Jiancheng is also really palpitating. He knew him and knew how terrible he was. Like his soldiers, he is a cunning wolf, a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

Because he often puts himself invincible first, has enough patience to wait for his opponent to show his flaws, and then delivers a fatal blow, he is invincible.

It is conceivable that when he turns from darkness to light, it must be the time when the offensive is the most violent.

Li Jiancheng certainly understands this, but he can't strike first, once he strikes first, he will be cold-eyed by the world and say that he is narrow-minded and excludes his own brother with high merit......

Obviously, Li Shimin also saw this, and he gathered strength in a grand manner, that is, he did not show the slightest ambition or disobedience......

The confrontation without gunpowder has already begun between them.

The pinnacle duel between masters is not limited to the battle between Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong. There is also the power struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

**********

The Tang Dynasty's welfare for officials was still good, and there was a full seven-day holiday for the New Year, a whole Golden Week.

However, good days come and go quickly, the Yuan Day Dynasty will take one day, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin will each pay New Year's greetings, and they will use another day to entertain the two.

More than half of the seven days passed in an instant, and in the next three days, Luo Shixin quietly stayed at home to rest and meditate, study martial arts and archery, see the art of war, and study the Mo Sword Formation, during which he also wrote a New Year's letter to Li Jing and sent it to Lingnan. At the beginning, he didn't know that Li Jing was promoted, and he sent the letter to Jingzhou, but Li Jing was able to receive it, so he naturally didn't make this mistake again this time.

Three days passed, and Luo Shixin regained his rhythm. Right Weiwei's transformation was successful and did not run into major trouble. However, it has not yet passed the adaptation period, and it still needs to take care of all kinds of problems encountered, and the expansion training of the Mo Dao soldiers is extremely effective.

Luo Shixin is not an easy person, and the losses he suffered in the weapons prison at the beginning have also successfully recovered the field. In Shangshu's application to Li Yuan for the transfer of military horses, Mo Dao, Fu Yuan crossbow, and other must-use armaments, he mentioned that when he transferred weapons to the weapons supervisor, he had a perfunctory and procrastinatory attitude, and he also gave them an uneven and important weapon, Mo Dao.

For this reason, Li Yuan also specially called the weapon supervisor to the imperial front, reprimanded him with a face, and personally ordered him to prepare the ordnance required by Luo Shixin.

Where did the weapons supervisor dare to be lazy, personally supervise his subordinates, and send the materials required by Luo Shixin to be fully prepared, not to be lazy.

Under Luo Shixin's personal efforts, the first batch of Mo Dao soldiers have preliminarily mastered the basic use of the Mo Dao Formation, and they can intersperse back and forth with various arms without chaos, and the effect is extremely significant.

On this day, Luo Shixin took the time to go to the Imperial Medical Department, and found that Kratos was very serious about learning Zhongyuan dialect from the doctor who took care of him, and he learned it well. This made Luo Shixin very pleased, and it could be seen that Kratos had given up a somewhat ridiculous eastward trip to find his home, intending to live in Datang.

"General, when I'm ready, I'll use you as a cow and a horse." Kratos' big eyes widened, and he said in stiff Chinese with a serious face,

Luo Shixin laughed and said: "It's not simple, I also know how to say words." But I don't want you to be a cow and a horse, that's too condescending. "According to the system of the Tang Dynasty, Luo Shixin, as a general, can have a certain amount of pomp and circumstance when traveling. But he was really not used to a large number of people following, so he was very disgusted with this kind of situation, so he forcibly pressed it down. He felt that if someone could really cause him harm or danger to his life, even a few more guards would not help, so he rode alone in and out.

Kratos has a negative IQ, and he has nothing to do except martial arts, and Luo Shixin doesn't want to have more followers and waste his martial arts.

Kratos was a beginner in Chinese, and he didn't know what "Qu Cai" meant, so he thought he didn't want him anymore, so he shouted urgently: "Kratos, it's not as good as a general, you can use your strength, it's very useful." ”

Luo Shixin smiled and comforted, and when he saw that he couldn't make sense, he simply found a translator and explained what he meant, not that he didn't want him, but that he wanted him to join the army and join the right guard as the captain of the jumping soldiers.

Roesson had long learned that Kratos was an expert with short arms, that in the Colosseum they were actors, and that there were various ways to duel in order to increase visibility, and hand-to-hand combat was just one of them. Fighting wolves, lions, and even slaves requires weapons.

Kratos is best at knives, short knives, and the knife skills he has honed from life and death are suitable for jumping soldiers.

The so-called jumping soldier is also commonly known as the sword and shield hand, with a round shield and a short knife, wears light armor, is good at hand-to-hand combat, and plays a role in making up for the lack of flexibility of companions who use long weapons in the Mo knife soldiers.
