The clumsy performance was exposed, but the parties were not red and their hearts were not beating, and they were not embarrassed at all.

At this time, Wang De walked in and reported:

"Everyone, the meal has been prepared, and the queen said that she would eat in the Lizheng Palace, and let people pass the word."

"Have the green sparrow and the pheasant slave arrived?" Li Shimin got up and asked;

"It's all here, and they're all here with the princess and the little prince." Wang De replied.

"My grandson is also here, I haven't seen it for a long time," he said and walked out, Li Shen and Li Chengqian followed behind.

When I came to the Lizheng Palace, I heard the voices of many people inside, and when I went in, I saw that everyone was teasing a few children.

Li Chengqian's eldest son Li Ju, Li Tai's eldest son Li Xin, Li Zhi's eldest son Li Zhong, a group of women surrounded the three children,

Li Ju and Li Xin can already walk, while Li Zhong was born last year, and today he is not very stable and faltering.

Everyone laughed, and Li Tai and Li Zhi sat on the side drinking tea.

Seeing Li Shimin coming in, Li Tai and Li Zhi hurriedly got up and saluted.

"I've seen Ayer."

Li Shimin nodded, and then said with a smile:

"Come, let me see my grandchildren."

Saying that, everyone brought the three children over, Li Ju and Li Xin could speak, and shouted to Li Shimincui, "Ah Weng." ”

Li Shimin suddenly smiled, Li Zhong saw this scene and shouted "yah" to Li Shimin twice, and Li Shimin immediately praised Li Zhong a few words.

"Erlang, let's go eat." Empress Eldest Sun and Concubine Wei Guifei came over and said to Li Shimin.

Then a large family came to the side hall of the Lizheng Palace, where two tables had been set up.

Li Shimin and Empress Wei Guifei plus four princes have a table, and other ladies have a table.

Only Li Shen's family came here with two family members, and the others were just princesses.

After Li Shimin took a bite of food, the banquet officially began, all of them were their own people, and everyone was chatting softly while eating.

Li Tai took the lead in holding the wine glass and said to Li Chengqian and Li Shen:

"Big brother, old ten, I salute you, I heard that you are like a bamboo in Goguryeo, and you have repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and captured a huge land for my Datang, and the younger brother really hopes that he can be like the eldest brother, be able to gallop on the battlefield, and make some achievements for Aya and the Tang Dynasty."

Li Tai talked eloquently, and Li Shen was stunned for a moment, but Li Chengqian picked up his wine glass and said politely:

"Fourth brother, don't be modest, you can also help Aya share your worries in Chang'an, and I just go to the battlefield to see for a long time,

If you want to talk about merit, it is also the merit of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in my Datang, and my brother does not dare to be greedy for merit. ”

Li Shimin was very satisfied with Li Chengqian's words, and nodded slightly, Li Chengqian's ability to say this shows that he is not yet complacent and proud of his achievements.

After that, Li Zhi also stood up, also toasted Li Chengqian and Li Shen, and said:

"I really envy the eldest brother, and the tenth brother, I heard that the tenth brother not only gave advice in Goguryeo, but also took out an artifact, so that my Tang soldiers can easily capture the city, the tenth brother is really talented, such a monstrous achievement, let me admire it in my heart."

Li Zhi's words made Li Shen's eyes narrow, this Li Zhi will play yin, this is exaggerating his own merits, which means that Li Chengqian was able to capture so much land, all because of himself,

Before Li Chengqian could speak, Li Shen spoke first:

"What Brother Jiu said was tormenting the younger brother, the younger brother didn't do anything in Goguryeo, but caused chaos to the eldest brother.

The results of today's battle are all due to the big brother's strategy and the bloody battles of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.

The younger brother has nothing to do all day long, nothing to hunt and fish, leisure and leisure, just a credit.

As far as I, the Waste Overseer, can do it with ease, even if Brother Nine goes. You can do it for a piece of meat. ”

Li Shen's self-deprecation caught Li Zhi off guard, this person is all face-saving, and even if he is humble, he will not be shameless even if he is humble.

Li Shen said that he was useless, which made Li Zhi a little incomprehensible, and he could be the waste overseer in the end.

You can do anything for a meat dog, is this saying that you have the ability, or are you scolding yourself.

Seeing that Li Zhi's face was not good, although Li Chengqian felt comfortable, as the eldest brother, he still came out to play a round and said:

"What the ninth brother said makes sense, the tenth brother is indeed indispensable, if there is no tenth brother, it really won't be so easy to win, the eldest brother respects the tenth brother with a cup."

After speaking, Li Shen and Li Zhi also drank it all and did not say anything else.

After that, the five masters pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and it seemed that they were happy, but in fact, Li Tai and Li Zhi both understood in their hearts that now Li Chengqian's position is stable,

It's not a matter of impeachment that can be stumbled with a few small stumbling blocks, if Li Chengqian hadn't made too many mistakes, basically there would be no hope for them.

But people always have a fluke mentality, and no one wants to give up easily until the last moment, which Li Shen knows very well,

This is human nature, in the heart of the gambler, there is always an if-in-case in the heart.

This meal has been eaten for more than half an hour, mainly because Li Shimin is eating with his son, and the female dependents have followed the eldest grandson queen back to the main hall.

At the banquet, Li Shimin chatted with his sons about some things in the court, just like chattering, what happened, and plans for the future, etc.

For others, it may be a national event, but for the Li family, this is their own business.

Some things can only be discussed by their own people to explore a favorable plan, and the ministers discuss that they first consider their own interests or their own family's interests, and then use their family and country to cover it up.

Li Shen basically didn't speak at the table, he just ate his head, what kind of family and country did he have to do with him.

He eats the most at the end of a meal,

After the meal, all the princes said goodbye, and the four of Li Shen walked outside the palace together.

"Big brother, what do you say, I won't be able to go to Goguryeo next year." Li Shen suddenly asked,

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then looked at Li Shen suspiciously, even Li Tai and Li Zhi also looked at Li Shen.

In their opinion, what a good opportunity for meritorious service, even if Li Chengqian becomes emperor in the future, he will be able to get a good treatment by virtue of his merits.

"Tenth brother, why are you doing this?" Li Chengqian couldn't help asking, Li Shen's role is very great, and sometimes some problems can be solved with Li Shen's whimsy.

Moreover, Li Shen was good at appeasing the people, which played a great role in the capture of Goguryeo.

Li Shen didn't speak, but turned his head and looked back, and Li Chengqian also looked over with Li Shen,

I saw Li Shen's eyes looking at Wu Meiniang with a big belly, and Li Chengqian instantly understood what Li Shen meant.

Yes, Wu Meiniang has been pregnant for more than six months.
