A small lake in the Luoyang Palace.

Li Shimin held the fishing rod in his hand and fished leisurely.

Beside him, the eldest grandson Wujian peeled the husk and sent it to his mouth intimately.

"Isn't it delicious?"

"Mmmm, it's delicious, it's delicious, whatever you feed is delicious, hehe......"

Li Shimin smiled and praised.

Crash!

At this moment, there was a movement in the lake, so startled that he hurriedly restrained his smile, relaxed the fishing rod, and when the movement on the lake was weak, he suddenly retracted the rod suddenly!

Swish!

A big white fish flew out of the water, as if it was about to jump over the dragon gate!

Unfortunately, there is no dragon gate here, only fish baskets.

With a click, the big white fish was thrown to the shore, Li Shimin reached out to hug it, and said in surprise:

"Haha, hahaha!"

"It's a warped fish, this is the first time I've been fishing for the past few days!"

"I've never had a better start, and today is bound to be a catch!"

"Guanyin, you have a good mouth at night! Hahaha......"

"Aren't you just a fish, as for Lecheng like this? If you want to eat, you can directly order the imperial chef to cook, and make you the biggest and best fish king. The eldest grandson pursed his lips and smiled.

These two phoenixes.

As an emperor, what do you want and can't get it?

Let's just say that this warped fish, what's so strange? As long as he casually commands, hundreds of them can be delivered in no time!

I don't know what he thinks.

"How can someone else offer a delicious food that you have caught?"

"It's not fish, it's the joy of a good harvest."

A voice came from far and near, with a slight smile.

"Ouch."

As soon as Li Shimin looked at the person, he immediately said happily,

"Hear it's coming, come on, sit down."

"There are all kinds of fishing rods here, you can choose one yourself, let's make a bet to see who catches more."

Xu Fenglei was not polite, saluted the emperor and queen, then sat on the pony on the side, and chose a fishing rod at random.

"Good bet, what's the bet?"

He asked.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said:

"Whatever you want, you can bet as much as you want."

"In this way, if I lose, I will promise you one condition; If you lose, you promise me a condition, you are not allowed to go back on it, and you are not allowed to cheat. ”

"The queen testifies! Is that okay? ”

The eldest grandson looked at the two with a smile.

"Okay, I'll be a notary, if anyone cheats, just throw it into the lake!"

The relationship between the two is like her own family, and she doesn't have to pay attention to any words and deeds, and she can even joke at will.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Xu Fenglei said very briskly,

"Is there bait?"

"Yes, yes, there are small fish filling, live earthworms, dried earthworms, millet filling, which one do you want?"

Li Shimin pointed to the box beside him, like a number of treasures.

He is really well equipped for fishing, and he has all kinds of bait, which is dizzying.

Xu Fenglei nodded, directly rolled up the small fish filling and millet filling, twisted the two a few times, kneaded them into a ball, and threw them into the lake.

Poof!

"What are you doing!"

Li Shimin glared and scolded,

"I'm a nest!"

Xu Fenglei raised his head and said,

"If you make a nest in the lake, the fish will naturally come, and it will not be accurate to catch one by one."

Li Shimin: "¥%......&*@#!! ”

"You...... You're a liar! ”

He said angrily,

"How can you play like this?"

Xu Fenglei shrugged.

"You didn't say you couldn't make a nest? I'm quite simple, to really make a nest, I have to add rice wine, and ferment it after several processes. ”

"It's easy."

"Besides, if you think it's unfair, you can also make a nest, so that everyone is on the same starting line again?"

Li Shimin's face darkened.

"Fallacious reasoning!"

He chirped,

"Good! If you do the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for being the fifteenth! ”

"Look!"

Crash!

I saw Li Er stand up and pour all the bait in the bait box into the lake in front of him.

In order to prevent Xu Fenglei from rubbing into his nest, he also deliberately moved Xiao Mazha to be a little farther away.

"You two......"

The eldest grandson Wujian was a little helpless.

It's like a kid playing around!

Seeing this, Xu Fenglei just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

There are also skills in nesting, if you can catch fish by pouring all the bait in one go, then wouldn't all the anglers in later generations not know how to fight the air force, and everyone can catch a mouth?

Li Er's experience in this area is still a little shallow......

"Your Majesty, you and the queen are leisurely, and the prince is still kneeling with the ministers outside, so it's good for you to fish here."

Xu Fenglei held the fishing rod in one hand and said with a smile,

"Seriously, even if you don't feel sorry for the civil and military officials, you have to feel sorry for your son."

"The prince is about to break his head in order to invite you back."

When the eldest grandson Wujian heard this, he subconsciously glanced outside, and a little worry appeared in his expression.

When Li Shimin heard this, he said disapprerovitically:

"Of course I feel sorry for my son, but I feel even more sorry for myself!"

"If my heart softens at this time, I have to go back to Taiji Palace to pick up the heavy burden, I finally have a chance to get out, how can I go back to the tiger's mouth again?"

"So, I won't pay attention."

"Besides, I'm also old, I've fought so many years of war, I've been taking care of national politics for so many years, and it's almost time to govern a tattered Tang Dynasty like it is now, it's time to enjoy it."

"There are young slaves in the imperial court to exercise power on my behalf, and you humerus ministers are assisted, I can rest assured, I am very relieved!"

Crash.

Xu Fenglei was about to speak, but felt the fishing rod move.

He jerked it, but saw a black fish coming at him, and he flicked the rod, and the fish fell right into the basket.

"! Patronizing and talking to you, delay my fishing! ”

Li Shimin was suddenly a little anxious when he saw it, scolded in his mouth, and hurriedly focused his attention on the lake.

It's a pity...... He didn't say anything here.

"It seems that Your Majesty is determined to let go of everything and retire in Luoyang."

Xu Fenglei took off the hook, put the bait back on and threw the rod, and said with a light smile,

"It's not bad, I look a lot better when I look at you."

"Luoyang has a good climate and a harmonious diet, so it is indeed a good place to raise people."

"When I have time, I will also stay here for a while to nourish my heart."

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth rose.

"That's nature, this is where I grew up, and I'm familiar with every corner of this city."

He said triumphantly,

"Luoyang feels more at home than Chang'an and Jinyang, especially Guanyin is still by her side."

"I am not disturbed by any external objects here, and I can still have an hour or two every day to empty myself, and I don't think about anything, so I am in a daze."

"This is simply the life of a fairy!"

"Staying here is the recipe for longevity! Back to Chang'an, that's self-defeating! ”

When the eldest grandson Wujian heard this, he immediately smashed a walnut on Li Shimin's head and said:

"What nonsense! Beware of a prophecy! ”

"Chang'an still wants to go back, you don't want the children, I still miss them!"

Li Shimin groaned, he was smashed but he wasn't annoyed, he just smiled and slapped his mouth a few times.

"Your Majesty's thoughts can be understood."

Xu Fenglei responded,

"After so many years of tension, I definitely don't want to go back to that state when I relax all of a sudden."

"Life is short, it's good to really save a little time for yourself."

Li Shimin nodded vigorously.

"Listen, you understand me!"

He gave a thumbs up and sighed,

"You know, for the first half of my life, I struggled tightly. First, there was chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and he tried to save his life and family business in the troubled times. ”

And then he took the risk of raising troops and set himself up as king! I am trembling, step by step to conquer the whole world. ”

"Later, I finally won the country, and I fell into a more thrilling battle for succession, and if I made a mistake, it would be the end of the whole family!"

"Under your planning, I finally won the battle for succession, but the Turks are eyeing each other, and when it is most dangerous, they will directly come to Chang'an! Do you know how stressful I was at that time? When I talked to Jieli Khan, I looked heroic, and when I retired, my back was soaked......"

Xu Fenglei listened quietly.

The eldest grandson Wujian also peeled the walnuts and put them into Li Shimin's mouth.

"You also know the situation in the early years of Zhenguan, locust plagues, droughts, floods, plagues, special mother's turn! Some of them are issued several times a year that are not the same! There is a strong enemy outside, and there is trouble inside! ”

Li Shimin sighed,

"It's like a leaky house and a violent storm overnight, if you don't manage it properly, your home will collapse!"

"I am walking on thin ice, relying on the strong support of you virtuous ministers, and carefully governing for so many years, before this home was repaired, and only then did it have today's atmosphere."

"So I've always been very grateful, I didn't kill Hou Junji at the beginning, and I didn't want to set a precedent for killing heroes, I want you all to be well, and share the glory and wealth with me...... Unexpectedly, he rebelled in the end, so I really ...... No more words. ”

Xu Fenglei nodded.

Li Shimin's original intention is good, he wants to make all the graces of the monarch and ministers, and not to be the kind of emperor who 'shares hardships and hardships, and shares happiness and difficulties'.

If it weren't for Hou Junji, it would be too disagreeable, and it is estimated that he would still be alive and kicking now.

"Over the years, I have watched the Tang Dynasty prosper with my own eyes and its national strength is thriving."

Li Shimin said softly,

"But my heart is getting more and more tired, as if I am ...... It's really old. ”

"So, I wanted to get myself excited and go crazy! The spirit and spirit were brought up again, and as a result, there was a pro-expedition to Goguryeo. ”

"As a result, you know...... People are old, and it is not good to be old. ”

As the words fell, a wry smile appeared on his face.

"You're not old."

The eldest grandson said seriously,

"I can testify."

Li Shimin smiled.

Xu Fenglei: "??? ”

This couple, as if flirting in front of him?!

"Ahem......"

Li Shimin coughed dryly and turned the topic back,

"So, as you said, I really tightened all the way, tightened for more than twenty years, and passed out at the last moment!"

"Since I woke up, my whole body has been relaxed, and this relaxation was last when I was fourteen years old."

"I covet this feeling of relaxation and want to live a few more years and enjoy it again. So...... Listen, I really don't want to go back to the Taiji Palace. ”

"You must want me to live a few more years, right?"

Xu Feng Lei fixed his head.

"Of course, if you live one more day, Datang will be prosperous for a day. Even if you don't do anything, that's true. ”

He said seriously,

"If you're gone, it's hard to say."

"Therefore, I sincerely hope that Your Majesty will live a long life, and when he is old, he will be the mascot of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin laughed, and then turned to a straight tone:

"Good, be a mascot! I want to be a mascot now! ”

"But if you want to be auspicious, you are the real mascot, my blessed general! I have only one comment on you - let me avoid many years of detours. ”

Xu Fenglei raised his eyebrows.

"This is very high, thank you Your Majesty."

As he spoke, his fishing rod shook again.

Crash.

With a flick of the pole, another big white fish entered the basket.

"Hey, pout."

Xu Fenglei praised,

"This pool is small, but there are a lot of good goods! Haha......"

Li Shimin: "......"

Looking at the calm lake in front of him, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"I haven't finished my sentence yet, and I'll add one more sentence later—"

Li Shimin pouted and said,

"It's good to do anything, it's love that adds to my blockage!"

Xu Fenglei was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"I used to like His Majesty's evaluation of me, but now ......"

He reloaded the bait.

"How now?" Li Shimin held his head high.

"I like it even more!"

Xu Fenglei threw the hook and smiled brightly.

Li Shimin: "@#¥%......&&*@!! ”

He raised his eyebrows and stared at the lake! Look hideous!

Sao Yu, why don't you take the bait!

I'm going to kill you today!

……

The sun is setting in the west.

Xu Fenglei's fish basket was full of catches.

In Li Shimin's fish basket, in addition to the warped mouth at the beginning, there are some small fish and shrimp, which look extremely bleak.

It's never been a great start...... It's just a great start.

"This ...... It doesn't seem to be comparable, right? ”

Xu Fenglei said with a smile,

"Your Majesty, I won."

Bang!

Li Shimin shook the fishing rod and said unhappily:

"My nest is obviously bigger than yours, and all the good things have been thrown into it, why don't you catch fish?"

Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said:

"I said that beating the nest is not a random beating, there are rules, if you want to learn, I will teach you well next time."

"Now let's get down to business, will it be done?"

Li Shimin rolled his eyes.

"What are you anxious about? Will I still be able to play tricks? ”

He snorted,

"Say, what a request!"

Xu Fenglei got up and arched his hand:

"Your Majesty is invited to return to Chang'an, re-preside over the overall situation, and reassure the hearts of the subjects of the world!"

The eldest grandson was stunned.

This has been chatting for a long time just now, and it was in vain?

When Li Shimin heard this, he stared at Xu Fenglei for a long time, and snorted coldly:

"Okay, don't play the broken routine of seeking the top and getting the middle."

"Tell me what you really want to do."

Xu Fenglei grinned.

"Your Majesty is really witty, I can't hide your Majesty's insight from this little routine."

He arched his hand and smiled,

"My real request is to ask Your Majesty to allow me to resign and go into hiding."

"Seeing that you have all succeeded, my heart is itching! As you know, I've long wanted to go back to Moyushan to cultivate. ”

"Now that the time is ripe, it is really the time to go into hiding, and I ask Your Majesty not to break his word."
