Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Tai Chi Hall,
Li Shimin sat on the court hall.

"My dear friends, what do you want to play today?"

Li Shimin opened his golden mouth.

Here we must say something about the early morning.

In order to hide his identity, Li Shimin specially stipulated that the newly admitted officials should not participate in the early court.

Wait a few years to participate.

When the courtiers asked why, Li Shimin reasoned that many of the newly admitted court officials were too young.

For example, Di Renjie is only nine years old, and he doesn't look good standing underneath.

You have to wait until they grow up to come in.

If you have something to play, go to the imperial study and talk through the door.

In order to hide his identity, Li Shimin took great pains.

After Li Shimin finished speaking,
Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, pays homage to him.

"Show the emperor, Zheng Guogong suggested to take back the monastery Tian Yimin's anger, this minister has already done it."

"This time, a total of 146 monastery fields were taken back in the Guanzhong area, and all of them were given to the landless people in the Guanzhong area. The hearts of the people are very happy."

Su Yu pitted Bianji and Daoyue, and all the monks in Chang'an City went to Pingkangfang to hang out.

Because I heard that as long as you hang out in Pingkangfang, you can be named a national teacher.

In the end, the monks did not chant scriptures in the temple, but ran to the brothel to consecrate.

The whole city of Chang'an was full of complaints, saying that the monks lived too well and the emperor was too indulgent to Buddhism.

Therefore, Li Shimin followed suit and took back all the temple fields.

Now it's all right, without money, the monk stays in the temple obediently.

Many monks in the temple had a hard time and went back to farming.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "This matter is due to Zheng Guogong, and I will reward you very much."

Wei Zheng stood at the bottom without speaking.

A few days ago, he followed Li Shimin to Sujiazhuang, and talked about Bianji's trip to Fusang.

Only to find out that Su Yu was behind the scenes again.

Wei Zheng was a little unhappy that this credit fell on his head.

Wei Zheng doesn't like head-grabbing, it's Su Yu's credit.

"Your Majesty, sharing worries for the country and eradicating harm for the people is the responsibility of the ministers of the court. How can we talk about merit."

"The humble minister dare not accept the reward."

Wei Zheng declined.

Li Shimin knew Wei Zheng's temper, but there must be an explanation for this matter.

It cannot be said that Su Yu did it, Xuan Suyu went to the palace to receive the reward.

"Zheng Guogong, you proposed this matter, so I will reward you."

"Reward Zheng Guogong with 1 guan."

Li Shimin said.

Wei Zheng had no choice but to thank him.

After the Ministry of Households finished speaking, the Ministry of War said.

Li Jing went out and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Guogong sent troops to Gaochang for several years, but returned without success."

"Gaochang's arrogance is so arrogant that it blocks the tribute roads of countries in the Western Regions, and the trade routes are blocked."

"My minister, please send troops to destroy Gaochang."

It's been a while since Hou Junji came back, but Gaochang's matter has been put on hold.

Li Shimin originally wanted to ask Su Yu, but no one from the ministers in the DPRK asked about it, so he didn't ask.

Speaking of this matter, Chen Guogong Hou Junji couldn't stand up there.

"Li Weigong, it's not that I don't use enough troops, but that I send too few troops."

"Besides, it's a long journey from Chang'an City to Gaochang, and food and grass are scarce."

"In addition, Gaochang City is defended according to danger, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it has not been breached."

Hou Junji was not convinced.

This person was arrogant and refused to admit defeat, and felt that Li Jing was mocking him.

In fact, Li Jing didn't mean that.

He is just as Minister of the Ministry of War, where his responsibilities lie.

It was Hou Junji who was thinking too much.

"Chen Guogong, I don't mean to be sarcastic."

"Gaochang blocks the passage to the Western Regions, the trade routes are blocked, and the supply of many commodities in Chang'an City is insufficient. I just suggest sending troops."

Li Jing explained.

Li Jing is not a narrow-minded person, it is impossible to ridicule Hou Junji on this matter.

Moreover, he is the minister of the Ministry of War, and Hou Junji's failure in using troops has made him lose face.

"Hmph, I can't get it down, can others get it down?"

Hou Junji was not convinced.

Li Shimin knew his character, and said: "Gaochang's use of troops, let me plan carefully, and I'm not in a hurry for now."

"In a few days, we will discuss this matter again."

After saying this, Li Shimin withdrew from the court.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui nodded secretly, knowing that Li Shimin was going to Sujiazhuang to ask for countermeasures.

Wei Zheng's eyesight grew sharper, and he saw two people flirting with each other.

Li Shimin returned to the harem, changed his clothes, and took He Meng out through the small gate.

Sure enough, when they arrived in Jingyang County, the three of them were waiting for Li Shimin.

"Let's go."

Li Shimin greeted him, and flew past without stopping.

The three followed to Sujiazhuang.

Entering Zhuangzi, I saw Shangguan Yun holding the child in the sun.

"Shopkeeper Li is here, Madam is in the yard."

Shangguan Yun stood up and saluted.

Li Shimin dismounted and pinched the child's face.

"You're growing so fast, you're already two years old."

Li Shimin hugged Xiao Chen and said with a smile.

"Thanks to the shopkeeper, there is no illness or disaster."

Shangguan Yun said.

"It's not my blessing, it's Su Yu's blessing. You don't have to be afraid of anything here."

Li Shimin sighed.

Those who can be born here have accumulated virtue in the previous life.

"Eat well, and learn from Su Yu well."

Li Shimin put Xiao Chen down and led the people to Su Yu's house.

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, I heard the yelling of the queen and Changle.

"Dongfeng!"

"Mom, hurry up, don't be silly."

"I seem to be going crazy."

"Why are you messing around again?"

Li Shimin took a closer look, the queen, Chang Le, Xiao Si, and Xue Ji, four women gathered around a table and fiddled with some jade tokens.

It says 1 to [-], east, west, north, south, middle, and chicken.
"Madam, what are you playing?"

Li Shimin had never seen it.

The queen stayed in Sujiazhuang a few days ago.

"My husband, you are here, the concubine will not be polite, and the little sis is going to mess up again."

The queen was so busy that she didn't even have to salute.

Su Yu was lying on the rocking chair alone, basking in the sun with an eye mask on her face.

"My dear brother, what is this?"

Li Shimin asked.

Su Yu said: "Mahjong, the four of them bother me all day long, I can't take it anymore."

"I just made a mahjong set, and four women fit into one table."

Mahjong?

Li Shimin had never heard of it.

Fang Xuanling and the three of them found it quite interesting, standing by and watching, they didn't understand at all.

"My dear brother, is mahjong fun?"

Li Shimin asked.

Su Yu smiled and said, "You'll know if you go and see your sister-in-law."

Li Shimin walked over and stood by to watch.

Seeing that they were tired from standing, Lao Chen moved four stools.

Eight people, a set of mahjong, playing until dinner.

Chef Zhang shouted at the door: "My lord, the meal is ready, please treat the ladies to dinner."

Su Yu got up and smiled, "Lao Li, let's eat. They have mahjong, so they won't be hungry."

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling went into the house for dinner.

"My dear brother, it seemed quite amusing just now."

"Can you teach us?"

Li Shimin's hands itch.

"Okay, I'll teach you after dinner, there is still a deck of cards in the room."

Su Yu said.

Li Shimin was in a hurry to learn mahjong, so he picked up a few mouthfuls of food indiscriminately.

The same goes for the other three. They usually come here to drink and eat meat.

Today is also just a few bites to finish.

Putting down his chopsticks, Li Shimin said, "My dear brother, teach us."

Su Yu only took a few mouthfuls.

"Lao Li, I haven't finished eating yet."

"There's mahjong, what are you going to eat, let's do it."

Li Shimin laughed.

The three of Fang Xuanling have the same virtues.

"Old Chen, help me take out the mahjong."

Su Yu shouted.

Lao Chen immediately took out the mahjong and brought out a table and four chairs in the yard.

Su Yu taught the four of them how to play mahjong.

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, which one is not a very smart person, Su Yu knows it when he says it.

The four of them crackled loudly.

It was dark from noon till night.

After dinner, I played in the room in the dark again.
