In May of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Yuan finally raised an army against the Sui under the instigation of Li Shimin.

However, Yang Guang became more and more desolate and comatose in Yangzhou, and ordered Wang Shichong to select Jianghuai folk beauties to enrich the harem, and drink for fun every day; Yang Guang, who was determined to lose his determination, often took a self-portrait in the mirror, and said to Empress Xiao and his subordinates: "Good head and neck, who should cut it!" ”

The world has been in turmoil, there are countless uprisings and self-reliance, and capable and unambitious literati and warriors are looking for the Ming Lord, so Li Shimin established the Tiance Mansion to recruit all kinds of talents.

With the support of Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Monastery, Li Shimin's own power expanded rapidly, and after leading the troops to fight alone, he won successive battles, attracting the attention of the world.

And Li Jiancheng, who felt the huge pressure, received the support of the Demon Gate led by the Yin Sect, and his own strength was also improving rapidly, and among the brothers, the fourth Li Yuanji and Li Shimin did not deal with each other very well, and they had always supported Li Jiancheng, which also made the strength between the two reach a balance of power, and it was difficult for anyone to suppress the other party.

This balance of power was broken until Shang Xiuxun, the owner of Pegasus Ranch, stood up and secretly supported Li Shimin.

The strength of Tiance Mansion, which got a large number of excellent horses, increased by leaps and bounds, but unfortunately failed when attacking the eastern capital Luoyang in December, but fortunately set up a three-way ambush in the face of the pursuit of the Sui general Duan Da, which defeated Duan Da and fled back to Chang'an in a slightly embarrassed way.

Li Shimin's defeat made Li Jiancheng's forces excited, and the morale of Tiance Mansion declined, and Li Yuan even suspended him to lead his troops to fight on the grounds of 'having a good rest', which made Li Shimin very depressed.

Seeing that the one-year period was approaching, Li Shimin simply put down his official duties and went to Peach Blossom Island to pick up his daughter-in-law.

……

In March, Li Shimin came to Peach Blossom Island with the guards of Tiance Mansion.

"Yo ho?" Ling Chi saw Li Shimin and the hundred or so people behind him, and said, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing with so many people?" Let's start with that, it's okay to invite you to dinner, but they have to pay for it. ”

Seeing that Ling Chi was still the same, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Ling, don't worry, how much they eat will be counted in the junior brother's account." ”

"That's fine." Ling Chi nodded and said, "You came here a little suddenly, Wujian just finished practicing, sweating, afraid that you would dislike it, hurry up and go to bathe and change clothes." ”

Li Shimin chuckled: "The little brother is indeed in a hurry, alas! If it weren't for the last resort, the younger brother would have wanted to take his wife away in a more beautiful way. ”

Ling Chi looked at him and said, "I heard the news of your defeat, to be honest, I'm a little anxious." Need to know: If you want to hurry, you can't reach it. ”

"The younger brother also knew that if he wanted to hurry, he would not be able to reach it, but the situation was good and the momentum was flourishing, so the younger brother fought hard." Li Shimin smiled bitterly.

"It's fine." Ling Chi patted him on the shoulder: "Failure is the mother of success, remember the lesson of this failure, it will make you stronger." ”

"Failure is the mother of success?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fists and bowed: "What Brother Ling said is very true, the younger brother is taught. ”

"Your humble and studious attitude will help you succeed." Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "Look at your dusty body, how can you see no dirt later?" Hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes. I'll go cook and drink some later. ”

"There's Brother Lao Ling." Li Shimin swallowed his saliva and said, "Junior brother has often missed Brother Ling's craftsmanship in the past year. ”

"Haha, you just wait for the good food!"

……

Half an hour later, the rejuvenated Li Shimin sat at the dining table, holding his eldest grandson Wuji, who was a little more beautiful than a year ago, and his heart was very hot: "I haven't seen you for a year, and my wife is even more beautiful." ”

The eldest grandson's face was slightly red, and he said, "Brother Ling always makes all kinds of beauty recipes for concubines, and he said...... It is said that a woman must be young and beautiful in order to tie a man's heart. ”

"Hahaha......" Li Shimin laughed heartily: "Brother Ling really understands a man's heart very well, but don't worry, Madame, even if Mrs. is old in the future, the woman you love the most for your husband will only be you." ”

The eldest grandson's face turned even redder, and he snuggled up to his shoulder shyly: "Believe it, concubine." ”

"......" Ling Chi silently brought in two plates of dishes, put them on the table, made a gesture of 'you continue', and withdrew.

"......" The eldest grandson Wujian left Li Shimin's shoulder, and lowered his head: "I'm ashamed." ”

Li Shimin was also embarrassed: "Eh, Brother Ling shouldn't have done it on purpose. ”

“……”

Although Xiao Biesheng was newly married, it was broad daylight at this time, and Ling Chi was busy cooking for them, and Li Shimin was not good at messing around, so he could only say some intimate words to the eldest grandson Wujian, but as he spoke, he talked about the recent defeat in the battle, and said very depressedly: "It's all because I was too carried away at the time, if I can better prepare for the war, why not?" ”

The eldest grandson Wujian held his big hand tightly and said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, the husband doesn't have to mind, the concubine believes that the husband will become more and more courageous, and finally win." ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Li Shimin's eyes were gentle: "How fortunate it is for a husband, to be able to marry a beautiful and virtuous woman like his wife, to have a wife in this life, and to be a husband is willing to die." ”

"Don't say such bad things, husband." The eldest grandson Wujian hurriedly said: "The husband will definitely live a long life." ”

When the little couple was getting tired, Ling Chi came in with two more dishes.

"Yo?" Ling Chi smiled: "Didn't bother you, right?" ”

"Brother Ling~~~" The eldest grandson was innocent and coquettish.

In this year on Peach Blossom Island, the eldest grandson Wujian has already figured out Ling Chi's temperament, this is a person who has no prestige on weekdays, he prefers to get along with his family as usual, and there is no taboo to laugh and scold. The past year has been the most comfortable year for the eldest grandson to live without being clean, although he has to practice every day, but he has to be careful compared to talking and doing things, and the life here is really much better.

Seeing that the eldest grandson was innocent and coquettish, Li Shimin was stunned and thoughtful.

Ling Chi smiled, put down the two dishes, and said, "You go on, there is still a soup." ”

The eldest grandson Wujian rolled his eyes again.

After Ling Chi went out, Li Shimin smiled slightly: "Madame seems to be much more lively. ”

"Huh!?" The eldest grandson Wujian was slightly stunned, and when he saw Li Shimin's slightly strange eyes, he hurriedly explained: "Don't blame the husband, just because there are no rules on Peach Blossom Island, and the concubine has been affected for a long time, he will ......."

"Madame doesn't have to explain." Li Shimin smiled slightly: "Although there are no rules, but there is more of a home, Mrs. These changes are very fond of my husband." ”

"Husband......

"In the future, ......" Li Shimin said: "We have children, so let's be like this!" ”

"Huh? This, but ......"

"No, but." Li Shimin said: "Maybe the husband will be the king of a country in the future, and the wife will also be the mother of the world, but the family must have a home after all, the husband likes the changes of the wife in Peach Blossom Island, even if our future children are not promising, but as long as they live freely, sensible, and filial, it is enough." ”

The eldest grandson looked at him and said seriously: "The concubine will try her best to create a good atmosphere in the family, and she will also teach the children well, so as not to let them become gentlemen." ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Li Shimin held her hand, his eyes were gentle: "Li Shimin is fortunate to be able to marry his wife." ”

"Husband......" The eldest grandson blushed.

"Ahem, I didn't bother you!" Ling Chi walked in with a pot of hot soup.

Li Shimin: "......"

The eldest grandson is innocent: "......"

If I can't beat you, do you believe it?

"It doesn't seem to bother." Ling Chi put the hot soup in the middle of the table and said, "Okay, four dishes and one soup, eat first, and then serve the staple food and eight big bowls after eating, to ensure that your belly is round, and you can't even eat dinner." ”

Putting away the resentment in his heart, Li Shimin laughed: "Brother Ling is about to miscalculate, even if he eats more at noon, the younger brother will still have a big meal at night." ”

"You don't have to spend any money." Ling Chi untied the wine gourd on his left waist and pulled out the bamboo tube wine on his right waist: "Drink bamboo tube wine without scale, and my brother-in-law will drink Lao Baigan with me." ”

"What kind of wine is Lao Baigan?" It was the first time for Li Shimin to drink it.

"Liquor." Pulling out the wine stopper, a smell of wine spread, Li Shimin's nose moved, and his eyes lit up: "Good fragrant wine!" ”

"It tastes better." Ling Chi handed the bamboo tube wine to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Wuji, you pour it yourself, I won't serve you." ”

The eldest grandson Wujian took the bamboo tube wine and said with a smile: "The little sister should serve her husband and Brother Ling." ”

"Haha, that's not necessary." Ling Chi smiled: "This is a family banquet, there are not so many rules, they are all casual." ”

"What Brother Ling said is extremely true." Li Shimin sighed: "Only here can the little brother feel the warmth of home." ”

Ling Chi glanced at him, saw a trace of gloom flashing in his eyes, and smiled slightly: "Gentle Township is a hero's mound, you kid should first bring down the world and govern the world well." When do you want to rest, just give the throne to your son, and then I will have you with good wine and good food here? ”

Li Shimin immediately smiled: "Then let's say it, when the world is stable and the younger brother is fine, he will bring his wife to the eldest brother to eat and drink, and the eldest brother can't drive us." ”

"Just give the money." Ling Chi rubbed his fingers: "The landlord's family has no surplus food!" ”

Li Shimin laughed.

……

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Shimin was a little drunk and said: "Brother Ling, now that the younger brother is at home, I don't know what to do, and I ask Brother Ling to teach me." ”

Although Li Shimin is the first emperor in history, he is only a young man of twenty years old now, and now he has suffered a heavy setback, it is inevitable that he will be a little discouraged, although he has never shown it in front of others, but in front of Ling Chi, for some reason, he showed his weakest side. It can be seen that he trusts Ling Chi very much and thinks that he is a person worthy of trust.

"The current setbacks are only temporary." Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "Fighting the world is never an easy task, you can only work harder and be stronger than you are now." ”

"The younger brother also knows, but he doesn't know which direction to work in." Li Shimin took another sip of wine and said: "Now that Yang Guang is about to be destroyed, my father will be the emperor at that time, and my eldest brother is afraid that he will be made the crown prince, and I ......."

Seeing that he was depressed, the eldest grandson Wujian served him a bowl of hot soup: "Husband, drink some hot soup and relieve the bar!" ”

Li Shimin's heart warmed, and he smiled: "Thank you, madam." ”

Seeing that Li Shimin drank the hot soup, Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "Boy, even if your father is the emperor, with the territory that you Li Valve currently occupies, who will listen to your orders?" ”

"No one will listen." Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I can only fight." ”

"Yes, you can only fight." Ling Chi nodded and said, "To fight, you need people who can fight. Let me ask you, if you only talk about fighting, who is stronger, you or Li Jiancheng? ”

"Of course the younger brother is stronger!" Li Shimin said without hesitation: "If you are governed, although the younger brother thinks that he will not lose to the eldest brother, he only dares to say that there is not much difference, but in terms of martial arts, the younger brother is more confident." ”

"That's it." Ling Chi smiled slightly: "When the time comes to lead the troops to fight, do you think your father is more willing to send you out?" Or send Li Jiancheng out? ”

"Naturally, it's the little brother." Li Shimin's eyes lit up: "Brother Ling, do you mean ......?"

"Gather strength and wait for the right time." Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "That's it!" When you go, I will prepare a boatload of food for you, enough for the needs of an army of 100,000 for a month. When you go back to lead the troops to fight, tell me that I have accumulated some family funds over the years, and I still have grain and grass for 100,000 troops to eat for a year. ”

Li Shimin stood up with a sigh of applause, and bowed with an extremely excited expression: "Little brother...... Thank you, Brother Ling. ”

"Thank you, you don't have to." Ling Chi waved his hand: "I like to collect all kinds of rare ingredients, and when you become the emperor, help me find things like thousand-year-old ginseng and 10,000-year-old lingzhi." By the way, there are also some miscellaneous books for me, and if I have a little of the rare iron ore, it will be regarded as my exchange for your funding. ”

"This ...... Brother Ling, you want the rare ingredients to be understood, the collection of books can expand knowledge, and the younger brother can also understand, but what does Brother Ling want iron ore for? Li Shimin was puzzled.

"The kitchen utensils I use are made of rare iron ore." Ling Chi took out the dragon scale knife from his back waist and said, "You see that my kitchen knife is made of 10,000-year-old cold iron, which is not only very sharp, but also can be used to preserve the freshness of the dishes to the greatest extent and improve the taste of the dishes when it is used to cut vegetables and meat, not bad!" ”

......Seeing that Ling Chi was actually holding a kitchen knife to show off to him, Li Shimin didn't know what to say: "Uh, it's really a good knife." ”

"You seem to look down on my kitchen knife?" Ling Chi's eyes were cold.

"No, how could it be." Li Shimin waved his hand again and again: "Little brother just didn't expect that the kitchen knife that Brother Ling even used was made of 10,000-year-old cold iron, so he was a little surprised." ”

"Okay!" Ling Chi inserted the kitchen knife back and said, "Just like you want to be the emperor, my pursuit is to become the first chef god in the universe, and now I am still exploring the path of the kitchen god, one day, I will become the kitchen god." ”

"Well, Brother Ling has good ambitions, and Little Brother admires it." Li Shimin felt that the world was too big, so he saw one of the most rare birds in the world.

O God of Cooking!

It's a 'good' ambition.

……

Li Shimin did not stay on Peach Blossom Island for a long time, and on the morning of the third day, he left Peach Blossom Island on a seaborne cargo ship full of grain prepared for him by Ling Chi.

This boat is full of all kinds of grains, Ling Chi didn't give him corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other high-yield grains, at the moment Li Valve is still Li Yuan's house, Ling Chi doesn't want Li Yuan to rob 'Xiangrui'. When Li Shimin ascends the throne and becomes emperor, these high-yield grains will officially appear on the stage of history.

On the sea boat, Li Shimin looked at these clean grains without a grain of sand and gravel, and his heart was full of excitement: "Brother Ling has helped me too much. ”

"Hmm." The eldest grandson said: "Husband, if we can really be ranked in the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future, we must repay Brother Ling well." ”

"Of course." Li Shimin said: "Compared with the eldest brother, Brother Ling is more like my own eldest brother. The grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, I, Li Shimin, will repay Brother Ling's favor to me a hundred times in the future. ”

The eldest grandson Wujian smiled slightly, and turned his head to look in the direction of Peach Blossom Island: Brother Ling, your kindness to Wujian will be reciprocated.

With Li Shimin's return by boat, the world is about to surge.
