Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

In just a split second, the Chaser Arrow pierced the horse's leg.

boom!

The horse fell to the ground in an instant, throwing Cui Zhao out heavily.

Li Chengqian rode his horse and came to Cui Zhao. This was the first time he saw Cui Zhao.

"Patriarch Cui, we finally meet..." Li Chengqian looked at him and smiled.

"Devil...devil...you are a devil...don't come here..." Cui Zhao sat on the ground, very embarrassed, and stroked backwards with his hands and feet.

"Remember to be a good person in your next life." Li Chengqian slashed at Cui Zhao with Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand.

"No...don't!" Cui Zhao screamed.

But it was too late.

shuh...

The halberd swung.

Cui Zhao, decapitated in a different place.

Chapter 163 Prince's other courtyard, accompanied by barbecue

After five days.

When the white-robed army returned from Qinghe and Boling, the Cui family completely disappeared in the long river of history.

In this way, among the five surnames and seven hopes, the Lu family and the Cui family were destroyed, and the Zheng family was put under Li Chengqian's command, leaving only a semi-crippled Wang family and the Longxi Li family and Zhaojun Li family who had been keeping a low profile.

If they knew how to restrain themselves, Li Chengqian would not want to trouble them. As long as he opened a school and broke their monopoly of various industries, they would be wiped out in history without his hands.

Today, Li Chengqian specially held a banquet in the Prince's Courtyard to entertain Li Shimin, not because he wanted to curry favor with his cheap father, but just to give him a reassurance.

After all, he still points to Li Shimin to work for him. If Li Shimin thinks about it all day long, it will not be conducive to the development of Datang. The Emperor of Datang still has some weight.

After the change of Xuanwumen, Li Shimin was particularly sensitive to the rivalry of the royal family. When he wanted to support Li Tai, he wanted to check and balance him.

It's just that Li Chengqian's ability is so strong that Li Tai can't even see his shadow. If Li Chengqian is the bright moon in the sky, then Li Tai is the fluorescent light on the ground. There is no comparison between the two.

Li Chengqian was sitting at the table waiting for Li Shimin, when suddenly a voice came from the system.

"Ding. Congratulations to the host, successfully rescued Yiwu City, resisted Qu Wentai's attack, and captured Gaochang Kingdom. Reward: wool degreasing method, which has been issued in advance."

"Ding. System task, use papermaking and movable type printing to open colleges and popularize education. Reward: blue dragon warship manufacturing blueprint."

"After accepting the task, the reward will be automatically distributed to the host space, the host can refuse, and there is no penalty for refusing."

"Accept." Li Chengqian did not hesitate at all.

Warship manufacturing blueprints are a good thing, because in the east of Silla, there is another important enemy that Li Chengqian wants to strike precisely, the Wa country.

Although it is still early, it will take a long time to build a sea fleet, and Li Chengqian is planning ahead.

palace...

The Imperial Study Room of the Eastern Palace.

Li Shimin was sitting on the futon, reviewing the memorial. Logically speaking, Li Chengqian fought beautifully this time, so he should be happy, but he didn't know why, but he always felt panicked.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." The old eunuch Chen Lin looked at Li Shimin who was in a daze and said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Li Shimin looked up at him, "What's the matter?"

The old eunuch Chen Lin said with a smile: "His Royal Highness sent someone to send a message, saying that a banquet has been prepared in the Prince's Courtyard, and you are invited to have a few drinks."

"Hehe." Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, "The sun is really coming out from the west, Cheng Qian thought of inviting me to dinner?"

"Hehe." The old eunuch Chen Lin smiled apologetically, "Perhaps His Highness the Crown Prince has not seen His Majesty in the past two months, so today he wants to do his best to be filial."

Hearing this, Li Shimin shook his head, "This kid doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, do you think he is the one who invites me to dinner? Besides, he invited me to dinner, but he didn't come to invite me in person. Can't eat, can't go."

As Li Shimin said, he continued to pick up the memorial on the copybook and read it, but he didn't put his mind on the memorial at all.

"Then...then let's close this matter?" The old eunuch Chen Lin leaned over and asked.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, "Forget it, this kid has made such great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, so I will let him go for once. Quickly, get up and drive in the Prince's Court."

As he spoke, he grabbed the boots on the ground in a panic and put them on his feet, very impatient.

Seeing this scene, the old eunuch Chen Lin shook her head helplessly, and then said loudly: "Get up, Prince's Courtyard."

Soon...

Li Shimin came to the prince's courtyard with a group of followers.

"Your Majesty is here." The old eunuch Chen Lin shouted from outside, and Li Shimin rushed in like a dragon and a tiger.

Li Chengqian got up and saluted Li Shimin: "My son, please see Father."

"Huh." Li Shimin pretended to be angry, "Chengqian, your face is getting bigger and bigger. If you invite me to dinner, I have to come in person."

Li Chengqian thought to himself, if you are not allowed to come to dinner in person, he will find you Didi instead.

Although I thought about it in my heart, I still gave Li Shimin face.

"Hehe." Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Father, please don't be angry. There is no place in the palace that is cleaner than Erchen's small courtyard. If you eat elsewhere, you can't feel comfortable here."

Li Shimin said: "That's true, I only feel at ease when I leave the East Palace."

He sat down as he spoke.

lean less...

Qin Feng brought over the oven and grill designed by Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin looked at the novelty, "Chengqian, what did you invent, why does it look like a grill?"

Li Chengqian nodded, "That's right, what my son invited my father to eat today is barbecue."

Li Shimin asked suspiciously: "Barbecue is just barbecue? What's so delicious about this thing? When I was fighting outside, I didn't eat less dried meat. It's hard and astringent. It's tasteless?"

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, what I'm taking is the best lamb meat brought back from the grassland, marinated with secret sauce and then roasted, and finally sprinkled with the lamb that I brought from Gaochang. The cumin powder from Huihui and the chili powder grown outside Chang'an City, the taste, tsk tsk tsk..."

After hearing this, Li Shimin swallowed unconsciously.

A few barbecue masters trained by Li Chengqian next to him have already started. There is a whole lamb in the oven, and marinated mutton skewers are on the grill.

After a while, cooking smoke mixed with aroma filled the whole courtyard.

Li Shimin sniffed carefully, and a smell of barbecue that he had never smelled before shocked his sense of smell.

"This... this... this is barbecue? How can it be so delicious." Li Shimin stared at the meat skewers on the grill with wide eyes.

moment……

A string of golden and tender mutton kebabs was served.

Li Chengqian raised his hand and said, "Father, please try it."

Li Shimin nodded, picked up a bunch, and with just one bite, he forgot all his troubles and exhaustion.

He closed his eyes, chewed slowly, and pressed all the aroma of the meat skewers into his mouth.

Seeing Li Shimin's appearance of not having eaten four dishes, Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly. In this era where they can't say shit, they are really pitiful, but they can't find the right words while they are so excited.

Li Chengqian poured a cup of drunken wine and handed it to Li Shimin, "Father, meat skewers are perfect with wine."

After Li Shimin ate a bunch, he picked up the drunk fairy wine and drank it all in one gulp.Immediately afterwards, he unconsciously picked up the next bunch and started to gobble it up, not caring about what to say to Li Chengqian at the moment.

After he had wiped out all the fifty skewers he had baked, his face was flushed and he enjoyed it very much.

"Father, the taste of this mutton skewer is justified." Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and said.

Li Shimin nodded again and again, "This meat skewer is really delicious in the world. I haven't eaten such a delicious thing for a long time."

"From now on, my dinner will come to your prince's courtyard."

As he spoke, he burped.

When Li Chengqian heard it, you are using me as a canteen, and you still want to eat every day?There are no doors!

Chapter 164 The prince speaks bluntly and opens his heart

Li Chengqian waved his hands again and again, "Father, this is your private residence. You really use the Prince's Courtyard as your imperial dining room."

Li Shimin wiped his mouth, "You brat, tell me, you are not the one who invites me to dinner for no reason."

Li Chengqian picked up his wine glass and took a sip, "I have nothing to ask my father, I just want to tell you that you don't have to be afraid of my son."

Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

"It's just that I don't have the slightest interest in the throne, so Father, you don't need to be afraid of my son. Being trapped in this deep palace and high wall all day is not the life I am looking forward to." Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and said as if nothing had happened.

What Li Chengqian said was calm, but Li Shimin's heart was not calm.

To be honest, he had already had such an idea in his heart, which is why Li Shimin was not as happy as he imagined after Li Chengqian expanded the territory for the Tang Dynasty and destroyed the East Turks and Gaochang Kingdom successively.

On the contrary, he always felt very depressed in his heart.

Li Shimin has not been on the throne for less than a year. He is very clear about how much pressure he has endured and what price he has paid to become today's emperor.

Overcoming thorns and thorns along the way, the blood-stained battlefield can be said to be a one-off success.

But Li Chengqian is much better than Li Shimin back then. Regardless of politics or military affairs, regardless of economy or people's livelihood, his whimsical ideas can always solve problems easily.

Five surnames, Qiwang, Eastern Turks, land annexation, fine salt, and potatoes, these seemingly simple words are related to thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty and the future of the Tang Dynasty. His great achievements.

Just because he was too good, this kind of worry gradually grew in Li Shimin's heart.

One of Li Chengqian's greatest characteristics was that he was disobedient. Whether it was Li Shimin or civil and military officials, everything he did was not a report but a notification. Even the imperial decree could not suppress Li Chengqian's determination.

He disobeyed orders and made great achievements, so he began to fear Li Chengqian.

However, this idea has just been born in recent days, Li Shimin did not expect Li Chengqian to say it so bluntly.

"What?" Li Shimin said quietly, "Is this the kind of person Father is in your heart?"

"Hehe." Li Chengqian smiled, "Father is not only the head of the royal family, but also the emperor of the Tang Empire. Since ancient times, the royal family has been indifferent. I think father should understand such a simple truth."

Li Chengqian spoke straight to the point, without any tact or detour.

Hearing this, Li Shimin fell silent, and every word Li Chengqian said pierced his heart.

The emperor's house is indeed involuntary.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and continued: "This is the reason why I invited my father to come to the prince's courtyard today. My father can rest assured that my son is really not interested in the throne. I don't want to be at home. Father and son are still suspicious of each other. Turn against each other."

His words at home completely touched Li Shimin's heart.

That's right, isn't he and the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan turning against each other now?

Speaking of which, the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, but he knew that Li Yuan's life was more nourishing than before. Every day he spent his life in luxury and was immersed in the gentle countryside. No one in Tang Dynasty lived a more nourishing life than him.

But Li Shimin can't help it. Like Li Chengqian, the gap between him and the hidden prince Li Jiancheng is too big, to the point of irreconcilability.

Even if ten Li Jiancheng were tied together, his merits as the King of Qin could not match him. If he did not launch the Xuanwu Gate Change, then Li Jiancheng would have to be slaughtered from all over the Qin King's mansion.

He can be regarded as self-help.

Silence for a while.

Li Shimin said: "Chengqian, are you really not interested in the position of emperor? Is it the king's land in the whole world, is it the king's ministers on the shore of the land, the emperor lays down millions of corpses in a rage, such a great power, so much power." Da Zunwei, aren't you jealous of such a powerful force?"

"Jealous?" Li Chengqian shook his head, "Father, do you think the power of the minister is small now? Do you think the prestige of the minister is small now? From the powerful landlord to the five surnames and seven kings, from the Tang Dynasty to the Turkic, how can you tell me?" A person who is an enemy of his son has good fruit?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin thought to himself, the prince Li Chengqian is truly unprecedented, if all the princes think like him, how can there be such things as the royal family fighting each other.

However, what Li Chengqian said is indeed reasonable. He is now more than [-] people, and he is more at ease. He does everything according to his heart, treats the people kindly, and treats the enemy decisively.

lean less...

Li Shimin took a long breath, thinking about the matter clearly, "Since you can say this, then if I don't believe you, I will live up to the bond of flesh and blood, but I want to ask you, why are you I have no interest in this throne..."

Li Chengqian said: "Father, isn't the position of emperor sooner or later belonged to the sons and ministers? Besides, the sons and ministers don't like to be restrained. Wouldn't it be fun to go out for a stroll every day to fight enemies for the father and open up the territory? At the critical moment What's the point of being trapped in this palace all day long, if the father can still block the knife for his son and minister."

Li Shimin listened and nodded. He understood what Li Chengqian meant. Handling state affairs and government affairs was indeed something that Li Chengqian didn't like. In the early court, unless he deliberately made people call him Li Chengqian, he hardly participated in it.

But if there is a battle to be fought, Li Chengqian will definitely be the first to rush there.

He thought about it again, what is the purpose of being the king of this country?

Isn't it for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, for the country to prosper and prosper, and by the way, to leave your name in history?
