With courage, Xiao Rui approached and whispered in Lao Li Yuan's ear: "If you don't twist the court into a rope as soon as possible, how can you destroy the Turkic Jieli as soon as possible and wash away the shame of Weishui last year?" Isn't it, Grandpa? ”

Well???

Hearing this, Lao Li Yuan looked at Xiao Rui again, looking at the other party's confident eyes that seemed to be smiling, the old man knew that he was a good boy, I am afraid that he had already seen through everything.

Especially the last sentence of the imperial grandfather, the meaning is obvious, I am my own person, your grandson-in-law, what bad intentions can I have?

"Hahahaha......" Lao Li Yuan's laughter penetrated the entire Daming Palace, there has not been such a refreshing laugh for a long time, when did Datang produce such a young talent?

"Are you a newborn calf, boy? Aren't you afraid that I will be angry and kill you? Although I have a good relationship with your father Xiao Yu, and your mother is my cousin, you kid is too crazy. ”

Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment: "Huh? You don't say that I forgot, from my mother's point of view, should I call you cousin? Wouldn't I be ...... Xiangcheng Bad? ”

Li Yuan's mother, Dugu, and her niece married Xiao Yu, so Xiao Yu's wife, that is, Xiao Rui's mother, is Li Yuan's cousin.

Syllable! Old Li Yuan slapped him angrily, bastard!

In this era, I don't pay attention to these, but I am more inclined to kiss and kiss, not to mention this kind of age gap, even if it is to marry my daughter to a good brother or something, in this era, it can be passed on as a beautiful talk. In fact, it also reflects the social status of women in ancient times, which is indeed relatively low.

Being messed up by Xiao Rui like this, Lao Li Yuan almost forgot what he wanted to say, no matter how serious he wanted to be, he couldn't be serious, so he motioned for Xiao Rui to sit down next to him.

Seeing that the old man was angry, Xiao Rui said generously: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I can feel that although you were angry just now, you didn't have a murderous aura, so you are not afraid." And military affairs, not the love of children can be influenced, Xiangcheng doesn't understand, but I believe that for the sake of the strength of the Tang Dynasty, you must not ask me to be punished, but just to reassure Pei Lin and others. ”

"Good boy, you have a seven-trick heart, you are really only seventeen years old?" Lao Li Yuan nodded and praised, looking at Xiao Rui again at this time, it became more and more pleasing to the eye, and he was blessed with a good talent.

Xiao Rui smiled and didn't speak.

Old Li Yuan sighed: "What old ministers are new? From the time I abdicated, they should have known that in this world, they can't write two Li characters with one stroke. ”

In the matter of Xuanwumen, Lao Li Yuan blamed Li Er, but more blamed him for his ruthlessness and cannibalism, and even Jiancheng and Yuanji's family were slaughtered, which was the most difficult for an old father to accept. As for the change of throne, although it was difficult to accept at the time, as time went by, Lao Li Yuan gradually let go, and he saw it.

Especially last year, on the bank of the Weishui River, he was beaten outside Chang'an by Jieli, and Datang was forced to form an alliance under the city, that kind of shame, the feeling of the king of a country, is clearer than the subjects, and it is a great shame!

Recalling the matter of Xuanwumen, Lao Li Yuan didn't gossip much with this junior, and instead asked: "Erlang praised you for your all-round talent in civil and military affairs, I read your kid's poem, it's really good." But today, you kid, but I was impressed, I didn't expect that you can remember the shame of Weishui at a young age? So in your opinion, when will Datang be able to wash away the shame? ”

Xiao Rui groaned: "Now is the second half of the first year of Zhenguan, this year to integrate the internal, next year to defeat Liang Shidu, and then two years to fight hard." At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, some of them were experienced soldiers, and they were only short of the expenditure of national strength for a big war, if there was no accident, Zhenguan would be ashamed in four years. ”

Zhenguan for four years? Accurate to a certain year?

How dare you say it, kid. Lao Li Yuan believes it now, this kid really doesn't know how to be an official, this kind of military event, who dares to say a precise number? It's all vague and vague to say a rough one.

"If there are no accidents? What accident do you mean? ”

Xiao Rui said slyly: "For example, droughts, locust plagues, floods, you protect the old ministers and the like." ”

Well?

"I'm afraid the last one is your truth. Go back and tell Erlang that since Datang has been handed over to him, let it go. If I can't be ashamed of Datang Xue, I won't be blind. Old Li Yuan looked in the direction of the Taiji Hall from afar.

There was a moment of silence, and then he said: "Pei Lin has followed me for many years, and he has made meritorious contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, if he can, let him die a good death, and I can't let people say that my Li clan killed loyal ministers indiscriminately." As people get older, there are fewer and fewer people who can talk. ”

Xiao Rui nodded, which was considered to be the answer.

Old Li Yuan asked with a smile: "I heard that your kid has a superb medical skill, and he can tell the life limit of life and death at a glance?" Then look, I'm an old man, how many years do I have to live? ”

Yes? This one......

Xiao Rui looked at it and was a little embarrassed.

"I'm not afraid to kill my head, but I want to see you for a doctor?"

Xiao Rui looked carefully, then cautiously turned his head to look around, Li Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, there is no one around." Don't worry, the old man is sixty years old, haven't seen anything? There are no taboos. I won't blame you. ”

"Really?" Xiao Rui was unsure, hesitated for a moment and whispered: "You have been fighting all your life, and your body was originally good, but you have experienced great joys and sorrows, and you have hurt the origin. Especially in the past year, I have been overly addicted to alcohol and my body has been hollowed out, and I am afraid that it will be ...... in the long run."

Burst......

What does it mean to be addicted to alcohol and have your body hollowed out? Bastard boy, what are you talking nonsense? Old Li Yuan was annoyed and angry, so angry that he twisted Xiao Rui's ear and reprimanded loudly.

Xiao Rui: ......

Didn't you say it, there's nothing taboo, won't you blame me? How can you say that if you turn your face, you will turn your face?

was exposed by Xiao Rui, and the old Li Yuan's face turned red, I didn't expect this kid's eyes to be so poisonous, and he could even see this?

Indeed, in the past year, some indulgences have been made, because of the pain of losing a child, as well as the depression of being imprisoned, Lao Li Yuan vented all his emotions to indulgence, so this year, the emperor has several more brothers and sisters, this kind of thing, who dares to publicize it so much?

"It hurts, it hurts, don't screw it. The lighting of this Daming Palace is not good, which is not good for health. If you don't like it, you can go to my farm for a while, and you can have everything you need for food and wine. Make an appointment with three or five old friends, fish and play chess, self-cultivation, and ensure longevity. "Xiao Rui is kind-hearted, and he has a good sense for this broad-minded old man, so he came up with such an idea.

Old Li Yuan let go of his hand and looked at Xiao Rui with a smile, "Oh? Imprisoned in a different place? ”

"Imprisoned? How dare you? Datang was established by you, the whole world is yours, you are shining everywhere you go, who dares to imprison you? Emperor Taishang, although Xiao Rui is young and ignorant, he also knows His Majesty's filial piety, you are not imprisoned when you live in Daming Palace, but you are not imprisoned, but self-imprisoned. ”

Hahahaha, self-imprisoned? You are a yellow-mouthed child, what kind of imperial mind do you know? Old Li Yuan covered his emotions with laughter, and there was a trace of tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Come on, please come over to Xiangcheng and take this arrogant and ignorant boy away."

"Hey, why are you talking and talking and getting angry? I'm really good there. ”

"Boy, if you want the old man to go out, you don't count. Go back, and think of a reason for being punished, lest people say that I am not sympathetic to the minister. Old Li Yuan smiled and drove out Xiao Rui and the others.

On the same day, news came out in the palace that the Emperor Taishang was dissatisfied with Xiao Rui's arrogance, so he postponed his marriage to Xiangcheng and put it on hold.

As soon as this news came out, the old ministers led by Pei Lin celebrated with their crowns, and finally someone supported us.

They didn't know that at this moment, Xiao Rui was already in the small study of the Taiji Palace, planning with the emperor again, who the next unlucky ghost would be.
