Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

A Ke, if you let her kill people, it will be of no avail.

But when it comes to chatting and interpersonal communication, it is quite cautious.

I don't even know how to be tactful and lie.

Seeing Empress Changsun asking questions at this time, she also truthfully told the situation of this year.

First, experience the four apprentices and teach them to grow.

Then there was a battle outside the city of Youzhou, how many enemy soldiers were beheaded by the five masters and apprentices.

After that, under the arrangement of Li Qiu, they went deep into the hinterland of the grassland to observe the enemy's situation and terrain, laying the foundation for the actions of Li Qiu and Luo Kexin's large team.

In the end, the armies of Luo Kexin and Luo Liang were in charge of harassing and plundering the tribes near Youzhou City.

Ake personally accompanied Li Qiu again, walking through the gaps among the tribes, piercing the Turkic hinterland like a sharp arrow.

They did not withdraw until they were besieged by the Turkic army.

During this period, Ake has been in charge of scouting and investigation.

Listening to A Ke's narration, Li Shimin was excited and applauded again and again, while Empress Changsun was terrified and terrified after hearing it.

He couldn't help blaming him, "Li Qiu, you kids are simply being too nonsense."

"On the battlefield, it's a child's play. Is there a place for you to act recklessly?!"

"Over the years, I don't know how many people around me I have witnessed, and the old people died in battle on that battlefield."

"Back then, when His Majesty led the army to fight everywhere, I never had a solid sleep."

"Now that His Majesty finally doesn't need to conscript himself, you kids are messing around again."

After saying that, Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin dissatisfied again, "These children are so bold and mischievous, Your Majesty, don't talk about them!"

Li Shimin shook his head with a smile at this time, and sighed.

"Actually, I don't want them to be like this."

"But Queen, you don't know, Li Qiu and the others single-handedly defeated Xue Yantuo's tribe in the spring and beheaded more than [-] people."

"It has boosted the morale of our army so much, and it has reduced the pressure on me and Li Jing."

"Especially the recent penetration into the hinterland, which directly led to the early retreat of the Turkic army."

"If it weren't for their nonsense this time, Jingzhou City would have fallen, and the loss and blow to my Tang Dynasty at that time would have been too great!"

"Of course, Li Qiu, Ke Xin, A Ke, what your empress said is also reasonable."

"In the future, you must not take such risks."

"Once something unexpected happens to you, I and the queen cannot bear that kind of blow."

Listening to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun's instructions and teachings, Li Qiu nodded obediently.

Empress Changsun also took A Ke's hand at this time, frowned and said, "A Ke, you are now the princess of my Tang Dynasty."

"It's still worth it. You two girls are like each other. You don't do what you should do, but you think about running to such a dangerous place all day long."

"If you continue to behave like this, I think it's better to transfer you back to Chang'an, so I can rest assured."

As soon as he mentioned the business that should be done, Luo Ke's face turned red with excitement.

In this day and age, women can't have children after they get married, so what's the matter?

Especially in the face of the Empress Empress, Princess Pingyang and the most powerful and dignified female elders in the world, Luo Kexin was about to cry.

Afterwards, Luo Kexin and A Ke accompanied the eldest grandson queen to the side to chat about common topics among women.

Leave the space here alone to Li Qiu and Li Shimin, let them talk and talk about state affairs.

At this time, Li Shimin intentionally remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly as if talking to himself, "Li Qiu."

"I heard that in Chang'an City, the tea in Furong Garden is very hot recently."

"Even my three provinces and six ministries, even when they were waiting to go to court, these courtiers discussed all about the tea in the Furong Garden."

"On the contrary, I'm not even as good as them. I haven't tasted the tea from you until now."

Hearing Li Shimin's initiative to mention this matter, Li Qiu couldn't help grinning.

Then he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, when I entered the palace this time, I really brought a set of tea sets and the best tea leaves for Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he glanced at the old eunuch Xu De, and then the maids and eunuchs presented the tea set, tea leaves, charcoal stove, and golden kettle that had been prepared a long time ago.

Seeing this, Li Shimin was really interested.

Leaning forward, he watched Li Qiu's dazzling series of operations with interest.

After the final tea was brewed, You Yuzhan presented it in front of Li Shimin, and Li Shimin smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I heard the auxiliary machine say it once before."

"Looking at it now, it really does live up to its reputation."

Li Qiu said with a smile at this time: "Your Majesty, the tea I brought you is of the highest quality, and this is the only one."

"Even the eldest grandson and the others have never drunk it."

"As for this set of tea sets, I got that piece of fine jade by chance."

"A total of three sets were made, two of which were given to Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor."

"It's not good for his health if he drinks too much on weekdays. Drinking more tea is also for self-cultivation."

Hearing Li Qiu's words, Li Shimin's expression was expressionless, but his heart froze for a moment.

Immediately, he remembered that night, when he was upset and walked to the back of Da'an Palace, he had a brief conversation with the Supreme Emperor.

Once upon a time, when Li Shimin was as old as Li Qiu, was the Supreme Emperor not a loving father?

However, it was the unparalleled imperial power in the world that changed everything between their father and son.

Therefore, Li Shimin nodded with a smile, "Li Qiu, it's rare to have such filial piety!"

Chapter 306 Are They More Important Than Me?

Just when Li Qiu, Luo Kexin, and A Ke were received by Empress Changsun and Li Shimin, they left for lunch.

Li Ke, the king of Wu, who had been waiting outside the palace, was about to explode with anger in his heart.

Li Shimin is a caring person.

After the anger passed, he couldn't bear Li Ke's son to suffer alone.

So he regained his title of prince and became King Wu.

However, he did not take back the previous will, and still let him stay in the fief, so as not to return to Chang'an City to cause chaos.

Right now, as the New Year's Eve is approaching, Li Ke is also able to return to Chang'an to meet his parents.

This time when he came back, he specially found a treasured sword for Li Shimin, which he had to work so hard to get.

Thinking about this to win the favor of the emperor, maybe he was called back to Chang'an.

Of course, this is also the idea that veteran minister Xiao Yu sought for Li Ke.

Now, what makes Li Ke feel crazy is that the former prime ministers Feng Deyi and Sikong Peiji died and returned home.

They bid farewell to the arena of power forever.

This is tantamount to directly cutting off three-quarters of the pillar behind Li Ke.

Right now, Xiao Yu is the only one left who is still supporting him.

Moreover, his authority is far from that of Feng Deyi and Pei Ji.

Thinking back then, my power in the court and the ministers who returned to me were the ones who overwhelmed the king of Wei, Li Tai, and chased after the prince.

But what about today?

With the retreat of Pei Ji and Feng Deyi, an era has almost come to an end.

Those people who belonged to themselves at the beginning saw that their titles were eliminated and their officials were entrusted with land. The situation is over.

They all followed Cen Wenwen and defected to Wei Wang Li Tai's side.

After all, he is a legitimate son, and is more favored by His Majesty and Empress than you.

And all of these, all the sudden changes, have to be counted from the time when I had a grievance to Li Qiu.

This Li Qiu is definitely the biggest broom star in the world!

Despondent thing!

"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty and Your Majesty are meeting guests, so you cannot go in."

Outside the gate of the Lizheng Hall, Wu Wang Li Ke had been stopped by these young eunuchs for half an hour.

Li Ke was so angry to death.

He had timed it well and had just returned to Chang'an City.

I just want to create an atmosphere where people who have traveled a long way, come back from thousands of miles, are eager to present treasures to Li Shimin.

In this way, one can show one's filial piety.

However, this originally flawless plan was destroyed at the most critical moment by the hands of these damned little eunuchs.

"You bastards!"

"You stopped me and wouldn't let me in, and you just didn't go in and report, it's just unreasonable!"

"Reporting to Your Highness, Your Majesty has an order, no one will be seen before this afternoon."

"Your Highness, please go back."

From the beginning to the end, the few young eunuchs in the Lizheng Palace had a good attitude, but the only thing was that Li Ke was not allowed to enter.

This Li Ke's character is quite hot.

After being blocked for more than half an hour, he couldn't bear it any longer, and directly burst into cursing.

Furious, he pointed in the direction of the Lizheng Palace, "There are nothing more than a couple of foreign ministers and a canonized private princess."

"And I am His Majesty's own son, the prince of Datang!"

"A few little eunuchs like you are so bold that they don't even let me go in to greet father and mother?!"

"You all get out of here, or I won't be polite!"

Seeing Li Ke's fire, these little eunuchs were also terrified.

No refund, no refund.

Things like this usually come to the end, and it's often the bad luck of their servants.

At this moment, the old eunuch Xu De hurried over.

The attitude was very humble, and he saluted Li Ke politely, "Meet Your Highness King Wu."

As soon as he saw Xu De, Li Ke put away his previous anger in an instant.

He is not stupid, he knows which eunuchs can be bullied at will, and which ones need to befriended by himself.

At least not to offend.

This old eunuch Xu De is the caring person next to Empress Changsun, and he must never be offended.

"Ah, Manager Xu, there is no need to be polite."

"These little eunuchs are really ignorant, and have blocked my way for more than half an hour."

"Let them go in and report, but they won't go."

At this time, Xu De explained in a gentle and gentle manner, "Don't blame Your Highness King Wu."

"They are also carrying out the imperial edict."

"The empress and His Majesty are meeting guests right now, the empress has personally ordered, and no one else will be seen."

Hearing Xu De's soft nail, Li Ke's eyes lit up with anger again.

"Hmph, could it be that those two or three outsiders are more important than me, the prince?!"

"Could it be that they won't allow me to go in to pay their respects when they are in the Lizheng Palace?"
