In the Lizheng Palace, there is a peaceful atmosphere.

Li Shimin stepped into the Lizheng Palace, and everyone immediately stood up and saluted.

"Sit down, today is a family feast and a wedding feast, feel free."

Li Shimin walked to the eldest grandson and sat down.

"Father, mother. Erchen plans to start his journey the day after tomorrow and return to Luntai City. ”

After listening to Li Gen's words, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were quite reluctant.

The crown prince Li Chengqian, who followed Li Shimin to the Lizheng Palace, was happy in his heart.

Li Gen is in Chang'an City, which makes Li Chengqian's psychological pressure really too great.

It has reached the point where I can't sleep at night and my food is tasteless.

As long as Li Gen leaves Chang'an City, his position as the crown prince is absolutely impregnable, and there is no one who can threaten his position as the crown prince at the moment.

"That's it, five days later, it's the Midyear Festival, accompany my father and mother, and after participating in the sacrificial ceremony, I will return to Luntai City on the sixteenth!"

"Although the father and the queen mother are reluctant in their hearts, there are many affairs in the Western Regions, and the time for you to leave is really not short, so return to Luntai City on July 16."

"You can handle many affairs in the Western Regions by yourself, where will I leave it to you, my father is very relieved......"

"Son, obey my father's command."

Li Shimin picked up the wine bottle and said with a smile.

"Du He, Shuyu, Virtue Award, do a good job of assisting King Zuo Qin, I, and promise my princess to you, because the three of you have followed King Qin and made many achievements."

"Come, drink a bottle of wine with me."

"Father-in-law, son-in-law, do your best, follow His Royal Highness King Qin, protect the land of the Western Regions for your father-in-law, and strive to ensure the immortality of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Father-in-law, son-in-law respects you. I wish my father-in-law and mother-in-law a long and healthy life, and I wish the Tang Dynasty a long and prosperous life! ”

Wei Shuyu's words made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun very happy.

"This palace is the first time to talk to Shuyu, and it is worthy of being the first champion of the Champion Academy, not only dignified, but also brilliant. Princess Qinghe marries you, and she will be blessed in this life......"

Empress Eldest Sun's words of approval made Princess Gaoyang very appreciative.

Princess Qinghe, her cheeks crimson with joy, picked up the wine jug, and poured wine for her father and mother.

provoked Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and praised Princess Qinghe again.

"Qinghe, my father and mother really can't figure it out, when you were in the palace, you didn't pour wine for your father and mother, it's only been a day since you got married, and it's changed so much."

Li Shimin rarely teased a few words with interest.

"Father, mother. In the past, it was the sons who were ignorant. Now that the father and the queen mother have selected such an excellent horse for their sons, how can the sons not honor their fathers and mothers. ”

Princess Qinghe's words made Li Shimin and Empress Eldest Sun redden's eyes with relief.

"Good, good, good......"

"Come, all pick up the wine bottle, accompany the father and the queen mother, and drink a bottle of wine."

Li Shimin is really happy today, he never valued it much before, and Princess Qinghe, who was so attentive, was able to say these words today.

Let Li Shimin, the father of the emperor, be really gratified.

It can't be said that Li Shimin doesn't care about a princess, after all, his prince and princess are too many together.

He is also the son of the Tang Dynasty, and he has endless government affairs every day, and it is impossible to care for every child.

"Father, mother. You drank too much yesterday, and now it is the middle of summer, and the dragon and phoenix bodies of the father and mother are important. Removed the wine bottles of the father and the queen mother......"

Li Gen got up and confiscated the wine bottles in front of his father and mother.

Call!

Li Chengqian's mouth opened into an O-shape, and he didn't dare to kill him if he operated like this.

Princess Gaoyang's eyes were also wide-eyed, thinking that her father, emperor and queen mother would definitely reprimand King Qin.

didn't think about it, Li Shimin was just stunned for a moment.

Then he actually laughed.

"Good, good, good, father, emperor and queen mother, they don't drink anymore today."

"Your eldest brother is right, father and mother, he has indeed drunk too much in the past few days, he feels sorry for his father and mother......"

Li Shimin looked around at the princesses and horses, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

Stinky boy, there is really a kind, and all the wine bottles of Lao Tzu have been confiscated.

Isn't it okay for Lao Tzu to drink tea?

In Li Shimin's heart, he really couldn't cry or laugh.

However, Li Gen's domineering filial piety makes Li Shimin feel very useful.

At the very least, among the many princes, let alone those who dare to confiscate his wine bottle in person, even if they dare to speak loudly, there are very few.

If this kid directly opens his mouth to comfort, saying that the father and the queen mother, you should drink less, drinking too much is not good for the dragon's body.

According to Li Shimin's temperament, reason will not pay attention to him.

Li Chengqian and Princess Gaoyang were shocked by their father's words.

Not only did the father not have a long face angry, but also drank the tea deliciously.

and praised Li Gen as a piece of filial piety.

Changsun Chong was a little embarrassed, because he hadn't toasted alone at this time.

Changsun Chong seriously suspected that Li Gen did it on purpose.

Originally, Changsun Chong and Gao Yang discussed, and the two toasted at the end, as the finale.

Unexpectedly, Li Gen dared to be so bold and directly confiscated the wine bottles of his father and mother.

Neither the uncle nor the aunt were angry, and the eldest grandson Chong did not have a temper at all.

If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself, you didn't go to the Western Regions with Li Gen five years ago.

Now Du He, Fang Yiai, they are all higher than the official position of the eldest grandson Chong.

What's even more infuriating is that even Cheng Chuliang, Li Dexian, Wei Shuyu, and Chai Lingwu have surpassed Changsun Chong.

There is no way, what others have set up is a real military feat, and the eldest grandson Chong is also sighing in vain.

………

July 15, Midyear Day.

On this day, Li Shimin was dressed in a yellow dragon robe, wearing the crown of the Son of Heaven, sitting on the Son of Heaven's car, and beside him was the eldest grandson queen in a phoenix robe.

The crown prince Li Chengqian and the king of Qin, Li Gen, rode horses and followed the Son of Heaven on his horse.

It was followed by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

The two columns are full of the honor guard of the Teaching Workshop Division, and the annual sacrifice ceremony is indispensable for the appearance of the Honor Guard of the Teaching Workshop Division.

This was the first time that Li Gen felt the solemnity of the sacrificial ceremony.

The whole process lasts about an hour.

As usual, Li Shimin told the world that no living beings should be slaughtered on the three days of the Midyear Festival.

This is also the reason why Li Shimin chose to let his King Qin and princess get married on the ninth day of the first month.

If the wedding banquet of King Qin and the princess was full of vegetarian food, it would be laughable and generous.

July 16, early in the morning.

Li Gen got up early and prepared to return to Luntai City with his princess.

The two rode in the Qin royal car, went straight to the palace, and said goodbye to their father and queen mother.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun could not hide their sadness.

Both of them sighed, tears wet their eyes.

This is a long way to go, and when I come back, I don't know what year it is.

"Father, mother, don't be sad, this will only make your son's heart more sad......"

Li Chengqian, who was on the side, couldn't wait for Li Gen to disappear immediately, because the situation at the scene was very bad.

He was really worried that his father and mother would soften their hearts and prevent Li Gen from returning to the Western Regions.

"Let's go, let's go, if you don't leave, my father is afraid that he will be reluctant to let you leave......"

"Concubine An, she has been sent to Jinguangmen by her father and mother, and with her taking care of your grandfather, your father and mother are also much more relieved."

Douda's tears rolled down from Li Shimin's eyes.

His best prince is going to leave him again and go to guard the border for his father and the Tang Dynasty.

How can Li Shimin not feel distressed!

But, apart from him? Is there one else that can fight? There is another one, can Li Shimin be 100% relieved?

Among the princes, there is really none.

"Father, mother. Take care of the dragon and phoenix. ”

"Son, retire ......"

Li Gen clenched his princess's hand and turned to leave the Lizheng Palace.

Got on the Qin king's car and went straight to the Vermilion Bird Gate.

Until the carriage went away, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were still watching.

"Father, it's time to go to court......"

Prince Li Chengqian's words made Li Shimin nod absentmindedly and spoke.

"My father has no intention of going to court ......"

After speaking, Li Shimin went straight to the Ganlu Palace.

directly made Li Chengqian stunned on the spot.

"Queen Mother's ......"

"Gao Ming, your father is not happy, you can deal with the affairs above the court for the time being......"

"Son, follow the teachings of the queen mother."

Li Chengqian strode towards the Hall of Virtue.

An hour later, Li Junxian appeared at the door of the Ganlu Palace.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has left Chang'an City."

"He took all those maids, right?"

Li Shimin said expressionlessly.

"If you go back to Your Majesty, except for a few male servants who are left to take care of the manor, all the other subordinates will be taken away."

"Even the nearly 1,000 dogs in the manor have taken all ......"

Li Junxian's words made Li Shimin's eyes widen instantly.

"Even the dog took away ......"

"I know, he's going to continue to grow his dog training team."

"This kid is really reluctant to waste a little resource."

"The officials from the Champion Academy really have no one to send them? Is there anyone else in the party? ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Junxian was just about to speak back.

Suddenly, there was a deafening shout from outside.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness......"

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness......"

Li Shimin strode towards the outside of the Ganlu Palace.

The voice came from far away, from outside the Golden Light Gate.

Li Shimin's eyes instantly turned red.

"Good boy, it's really amazing to let the people of Datang see you off......"

In the Hall of Xiande, Li Chengqian and hundreds of civil and military officials naturally heard the shouts of the mountain and the tsunami.

The hearts of the officials from the Champion Academy are like knives.

Their dean will return to the Western Regions and return to Luntai City today.

However, they could not see the dean off.

It's not that they don't want to see off the dean, everything is specially explained and told by the dean.

Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai, on the first day of coming to Chang'an City, visited one by one and conveyed the meaning of the dean clearly.

"Dad, there is a rod and scale between heaven and earth, and the scale is the common people'......"

"Dad, you must be good to the people, as the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world."

Outside the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin's ears echoed with Li Gen's words when he was a teenager.

"Good boy, you've started to win hearts and minds now......"

Li Shimin looked at the northwest and stood for a quarter of an hour.

"Jun Xian, can you tell me the question I just asked you?"

After a long time, Li Shimin said slowly.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, Prime Minister Du Xiang, Wei Zhongcheng, and the wife of the Duke of Dai Guo all went to send it."

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, their son was leaving Chang'an City again, how could he not send it, not to mention that his princess had become their daughter-in-law.

"Kong sacrificial wine also came to Jinguangmen in person to see off His Royal Highness King Qin......"

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, which was all in his expectation.

"Your Majesty, the princess of Hejian County and the princess of Jiangxia County, also went to see off His Royal Highness King Qin......"

"Oh......"

This Li Shimin really didn't expect it, presumably they were not just seeing off King Qin, after all, there were several princesses with them.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have seen that the three sons of the Wei Mansion have all followed them to the Western Regions......"

Hey!

Li Shimin's eyes widened instantly.

What does Wei Zheng, his in-laws, want to do?

He only has four sons in total, and Wei Shuyu has already gone to the Western Regions, and now he has sent three more, what kind of calculation is this little old man?

Li Shimin had no choice but to frown and think about it.

"Jun Xian, go to the Xiande Hall and call Wei Zheng to me."

Li Shimin must find out what kind of medicine this old boy sells in the gourd.

The crown prince Li Chengqian was presiding over the government, and the arrival of Li Junxian made the Xiande Hall temporarily quiet.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty has sent an edict to Wei Zhongcheng."

"Wei Zhongcheng, since my father has seen you, let's go quickly!"

The crown prince Li Chengqian said with a smile, but he was full of doubts in his heart.

Wei Zheng followed Li Junxian and hurriedly walked towards the Ganlu Palace, along the way Wei Zheng had already guessed that it must be his three sons, who followed His Royal Highness the King of Qin and were discovered by the secret agents of the Hundred Cavalry Division.

Li Junxian?

The spies of the Hundred Cavalry Division under him are really too terrifying, and they are simply pervasive.

Throughout Chang'an City, there are his eyeliner everywhere.

Stepping into the Manna Palace, Wei Zheng immediately bowed down and saluted.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.

Lao Tzu came to you to ask you about things, you old boy is good, you want to rebel against the customer.

"In-laws, sit down and talk."

Li Shimin said with a pleasant face.

When Wei Zheng heard this, he was not polite, and sat down directly.

"In-laws, just now you said that something happened, what is the matter?"

"Your Majesty, early this morning, Shu Wan, Shu Lin, Shu Li, and the three of them learned that their brother was going to return to the Western Regions, and they would go with them."

"The minister asked the three of them, why did they follow their brother to the Western Regions?"

"The three of them all replied that they wanted to go to Luntai City, follow their brother-in-law to make meritorious contributions, protect the Tang Dynasty for Your Majesty, and guard the border passes......"

"Your Majesty, the minister really didn't expect that the three of them would have such an idea, minister, can you not agree?"

"No, don't say that the minister and His Majesty are in-laws now, even if they don't, the children have such ambitions, the minister has to send them away......"

"Your Majesty, the minister's heart is empty now, after the next dynasty, the huge Wei Mansion, but there is not even a son......"

Li Shimin's eyes were a little uncomfortable, because Wei Zheng, who had always been strong, had already cried sadly.

Li Shimin rubbed his eyes, reached out to hold Wei Zheng's hand, and spoke.

"In-laws, they are all good, but they are suffering from their in-laws......"

Li Shimin's words comforted Wei Zheng very much.

Wei Zheng wiped a handful of tears and spoke.

"Your Majesty, what is the important matter for you to pass on the edict?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and he passed on the edict to Wei Zheng, just to ask about the three children, but Wei Zheng finished talking about everything.

And he also had a handful of snot and tears, and he was very sad.

"In-laws, my King Qin has left again, and I have no intention of going to court, I just want to find someone to talk to."

Li Shimin had an idea and spoke.

"Your Majesty, you can be regarded as the right person, the minister's son and daughter are gone......"

Wei Zheng burst into tears again.

"My family, my King Qin and Princess have also left several ......"

Just when the two of them were sighing, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, the border is urgent, Goguryeo has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to attack my Tang Dynasty border fortress ......"

Call!

Li Shimin and Wei Zheng both stood up in an instant.

Goguryeo, a country that once gave the Sui Dynasty a headache, didn't expect to start acting as a demon again today.

Li Shimin led Wei Zheng and hurriedly went straight to the Xiande Palace.

In the Hall of Xiande, the ministers were already angry at this time.

The Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo four times, but returned in vain.

It doesn't mean that Datang can't do anything about them.

Today, Datang's power has already been qualitatively improved and developed.

"Your Majesty, see Your Majesty!"

When the ministers saw Li Shimin stepping into the Hall of Virtue, they immediately bowed down in unison.

"Zhongqing, the king of Qin and several princesses of me, left Chang'an City today, I originally had no intention of going to court, but I heard that Goguryeo had gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and tried to plunder my Tang Dynasty, how could I let that Goguryeo succeed......"

"Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming!"

At this moment, Li Gen had just left Chang'an City ten miles away.

He didn't expect that because of his arrival, history would change so much.

Because of the fall of the Eastern Turks, Goguryeo felt a strong threat from the Tang Dynasty.

Over the years, they have been fighting hard for only one purpose, that is, to be ready, to be ready at all times, and they must not become the belly of a fish to be slaughtered like the Eastern Turks.

So much so that this big war was ten years ahead of life.

"Zhongqing, I, I haven't led an army to fight for ten years, and today I finally have a chance to drive the expedition in person......"

Li Shimin's voice landed, and the Xiande Hall was quiet.

Your Majesty actually wants to drive the expedition in person?

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Chengqian, just in time to meet Li Chengqian's inquiring gaze.

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded solemnly.

He knew that compared with King Qin, Cheng Qian did not have any other advantages except for the identity of his descendant.

The paper is adopted, the King of Qin is unparalleled in the world, and in terms of military exploits, the King of Qin is even more unsurpassed.

This time, the opportunity to inherit the dry has come, as long as Goguryeo is broken, the position of the prince will be solid.

Li Chengqian got his uncle's encouraging eyes, so he bowed down and said.

"Father, the son is willing to lead the troops to go out to fight for the father's emperor to level Goguryeo to prevent future troubles!"

Li Chengqian's words made Li Shimin's eyes hot, and he went straight to Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin has always had high expectations for his eldest son.

However, with the strong rise of King Qin, Li Shimin's disappointment in Chengqian also increased.

In addition, in the half a year since he left, Li Chengqian's comical operation really disappointed Li Shimin.

At this moment, Li Chengqian was able to go out of work to fight.

made Li Shimin instantly feel that among his many princes, there might be a second one who could fight.

If this battle can really break Goguryeo, Li Shimin will definitely feast the ministers for three days and three nights.

"Cheng Qian, are you really willing to lead the troops to the battle?"

"Father, as the crown prince, the son should be an example for the princes, for the father, for the Tang Dynasty to level Goguryeo, it is the duty of the sons......"

Li Chengqian rarely said something beautiful that satisfied Li Shimin, although these words were borrowed from the words of King Qin, Li Shimin still nodded with great joy.

"I'm very relieved, I'm very relieved......"

"Okay, Zhongqing, who is willing to go out with the crown prince on the expedition, for me, for the Tang Dynasty, and to level Goguryeo......"

"Your Majesty, the last general will ask for war!"

Since Hou Junji had already taken refuge in the crown prince, he naturally stepped forward without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, the last general will ask for war!"

"Your Majesty, please fight!"

At the moment of the national crisis, the civil and military officials of the Xiande Hall are all out of the class to fight.

Even Fang Xiang Du Xiang and others were not to be outdone and asked to fight!

Li Shimin naturally would not agree to them one by one.

After some final deliberations.

The crown prince Li Chengqian personally conquered Goguryeo, and the two generals accompanying him were Hou Junji and Zhang Liang.

Two generals, each leading 100,000 troops!

The art of war of the 200,000-strong army of Goguryeo.

There are also Changsun Wuji and others, and even Changsun Chong is also impressively listed!

Li Shimin's heart to help Li Chengqian's triumphant return can be described as full of sincerity.

After all, the king of Qin once personally led 5,000 elite soldiers to break Tuguhun.

Then he led 15,000 elite soldiers to annihilate the 250,000 allied troops of the Persian Kingdom and the Great Food Empire.

In the end, he took the Persian Kingdom in one go, and finally made Persia and Dashi become vassals of the Tang Dynasty.

Such a record is unparalleled in the past and the present, and it is estimated that there will not be a second one.

The soldiers who went out on the expedition took orders one after another and gathered the soldiers to go.

Li Shimin led Li Chengqian and strode towards the Lizheng Palace.

When Empress Changsun learned the truth, she held Li Chengqian's hand and kept admonishing.

"Gao Ming, Gao Ming, the Queen Mother knows your mind, you are now grown up and eager to prove your abilities."

"The queen mother has watched you grow up with her own eyes, and this is the first time for you to march and fight, listen to your uncle, Hou Junji and General Zhang Liang's advice, and you must not go your own way on the battlefield."

"One wrong decision of yours may decide the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers......"

Empress Eldest Sun's words made Li Shimin nod with satisfaction.

These words, coming out of the mouth of Empress Changsun, are much better than his personal confession to Cheng Qian.

"The queen mother, the sons and daughters will follow the teachings of the queen mother, and the sons will not insist on going their own way."

"Go, you are the eldest son of your father and mother, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, your father and mother have high expectations for you, use the victory of this battle to prove that you are also the hero of the Tang Dynasty, to prove that you are also the pride of your father and mother......"

The Empress of the Ages, the Empress of the Eldest Sun, is full of the demeanor of the Empress Xian at this moment.

She would not be reluctant to let Li Chengqian go to the battlefield just because he was her eldest son.

Instead, give the greatest moral support and encouragement.
