Turning around to leave, Li Jiancheng was about to follow, but Yu Wenhuaji pulled his sleeves and said, "Your Excellency is really good at saving Duke Tang without making a fuss. You really are a dragon and a phoenix among men."

The hand holding Li Jiancheng's sleeve slid down the fabric, and was about to grab the hand covered in the sleeve, but Li Jiancheng avoided it.

Li Jiancheng cupped his hands respectfully, and said, "Being like a son of man, Jiancheng just did what he should do."

"Don't be so ignorant." Yu Wenhuaji put his hand on Li Jiancheng's shoulder, caressed Li Jiancheng twice, and said, "If you have anything to do in the future, feel free to come to me, and I will definitely do my best for you. .”

Li Jiancheng didn't move his eyebrows, smiled slightly, took a step back, just got rid of Yu Wenhua and his hand, and said politely: "Since that's the case, Jiancheng loves horses a lot. I heard that Mr. Yuwen has a few horse deals in his hands. Why don't you give them away?" How about some horses for me?"

Yu Wenhuaji's expression changed when he heard the words, he forced a smile and said: "Your Majesty, you are joking, when it comes to horses, there must be quite a few in Li's Mansion."

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Forget it, we'll talk about it later. Thank you Yuwen Gong for coming to see him off today."

Yu Wenhuaji smirked and watched Li Jiancheng leave.

When several people rushed home, they were in time for lunch.

Xiu Ning received the letter a few days ago, and she stood guard at the gate of the mansion early in the morning. Seeing that her father was safe and sound, the third lady, who has always been tough, couldn't help but her eyes were red, and she ordered the servants to lead the horse. She put on a smile and said: "It's just in time for you to come back. The food is ready, come in quickly."

Together with the eldest grandson Wuji, the group entered the dining room, and all the meals were set up on several tables, and there was nothing missing. It was obvious that Xiu Ning specially arranged for them to have hot meals when they came back.

Rao Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh at this moment, knowing that his imprisonment this time might have made his family members extremely worried. He thought of Mrs. Dou who was still sick in bed, and his guilt deepened, and he was a little hurried when eating.The children below also ate carelessly, a reunion dinner was quite heavy.

After dinner, the eldest grandson left first, and the Li family father and son went to visit Mrs. Dou.

As soon as she entered the room, a strong smell of medicine came over her face, and the pear blossom tree stepped into the bed. Mrs. Dou was leaning on her hidden pouch, her eyes slightly lowered, as if she was taking a nap.The maids outside the bed stood in awe, very quiet.

Probably the sound of pushing the door startled her, Madam Dou raised her head hastily, she was in Ba Bu's bed, happened to not be able to see the scene at the door, so she asked: "Is it Xiu Ning? Has the Duke come back yet? "

Li Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a choked voice, "Madam, I'm back." He strode forward.

Although Mrs. Dou has always been dignified and rigorous, she shed tears when she saw Li Yuan. She turned her face to the inside, wiped it with a handkerchief, and tried her best to calm down, "Just come back."

Li Yuan held Mrs. Dou's hand and sighed: "It's my fault, I made Mrs. Dou worry."

Mrs. Dou was silent for a while, and finally turned her head with tears in her eyes and reprimanded: "You also know that you are wrong, you know exactly what is wrong with the emperor, you are happy when you talk about it?!"

Li Yuan's expression was gloomy, "That group of courtiers are all sycophants, I really can't see them."

"How old are you? Are you doing such direct remonstrance at your age?" Mrs. Dou squeezed her veil tightly, and said in a bitter voice, "Even the younger brother of Empress Xiao, Duke Xiao, the emperor punished him as well." Still ruthless, let alone you!"

Li Yuan sighed, and said: "Come on, let's go, I will never do such an unpleasant thing again, this country..."

Before he finished speaking, the people in the room, perhaps even the maid, knew that the Sui Dynasty was about to end.

Mrs. Dou was not in good spirits, and Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji withdrew after greeting her.

Li Yuan said: "Come to the study, you should think about some things."

After entering the study, Xiuning Chai Shao and Li Xuanba were also called. The seven of them sat down in the study and retreated the maid. Li Yuan stroked his beard and pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"I don't need to say more about the current situation. Next month, the emperor will conquer Goryeo for the third time. It must be another time for the people to live in distress. Duke Xiao was punished for his faithful remonstrance. In addition, the whole country is full of wars. It won't be long before troubled times will come. coming."

Maybe it's because in his own family, all the murderers are children, Li Yuan no longer hides it, but expresses his true thoughts for a long time.

"It is inevitable that I will be punished this time. The emperor hates me for a day or two. I am afraid that in the future, disasters will continue, which will harm our Li family. Therefore, I call you here to tell you to go You need to be careful in what you do in the future, don't leave any excuses for Yu Wenhua and those people, got it?"

Li Jiancheng, Li Xiuning and Chai Shao all nodded to show their understanding, Li Xuanba followed his brothers and sisters with a look of ignorance, and nodded, only Li Yuanji and Li Shimin remained silent and showed no expression.

Seeing them like this, Li Yuan said with a heavy tone: "Shimin, Yuanji, can you hear clearly?!"

Li Yuanji is no longer as thin and weak as he was when he was a child. On the contrary, he has a good body, but his temper is still the same as when he was a child, a little cautious and gloomy.

Only Li Shimin was left, looking out the window indifferently, as if he didn't take Li Yuan's words to heart.

Li Yuan knew his son's temperament well. He was a demon king when he was young, and he didn't listen to anyone's persuasion, but he obeyed his elder brother's words. Seeing this, he didn't say any more, and after a few more instructions, he let them go. Finally, Li Jiancheng was left behind. Let him persuade Li Shimin more.

"Shimin is smart because he is smart, but his experience is still inexperienced, and he is easy to be impulsive at this age. As the eldest brother, you should take care of him more." Li Yuan said.

When Li Jiancheng went out, he was dragged to a hidden corner by Li Shimin who had been waiting outside.

The half-grown child said with a sullen face, "Father, what did Brother Liu say? Did he say that I was not good?"

It's no wonder that Li Shimin thought so. From childhood to adulthood, most of the bad things he did were stabbed by Li Yuan to Li Jiancheng, and then Li Jiancheng taught him, so he felt bad when he saw Li Yuan leaving Li Jiancheng alone.

Li Jiancheng naturally knew that he was thinking carefully, so he immediately laughed out loud.

Li Shimin stared at him blankly for a while, then suddenly realized, "Okay, you're kidding me, brother!" Then he stretched out his hands and pinched Li Jiancheng everywhere.

Although Li Jiancheng was not very ticklish, he still felt uncomfortable when he rubbed him, so he quickly begged for forgiveness: "Brother shouldn't laugh at you, brother is wrong, can't it be okay if you are wrong!?"

Li Shimin accepted it when he saw it, and said with satisfaction: "Now it's time to tell me, what did father say?"

Li Jiancheng tidied up his crumpled clothes, and said, "Father told me to watch you more, lest you be young and frivolous, and do something messy."

Li Shimin was quite happy when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the second half, he was dissatisfied and said: "How could I do such a thing, my father must have looked down on me too much."

Li Jiancheng said: "Don't pretend that you don't understand what father means. When father told us to be cautious, what was your attitude, huh?"

Seeing that he couldn't make it through, Li Shimin was silent for a while, and then said, "I'm just not reconciled."

"What are you talking about, why are you not reconciled?" Li Jiancheng said patiently. Although he had a good relationship with this brother last time, he seldom talked heart-to-heart.

Li Shimin said: "Looking at the world, there are people everywhere under the banner of uprising to become kings. The Sui Dynasty has internal and external troubles. It has long been in the midst of wind and rain, but the emperor is still tyrannical and fatuous. Brother, do you think we still need to work for this emperor? "

Li Jiancheng raised his eyebrows and said, "After all, you also want to learn from those rebels and fight for the world, don't you?"

Li Shimin was pointed out by his words, but he no longer concealed it, and simply said: "Yes!"

Seeing his eagerness to try, Li Jiancheng rubbed the center of his brows with a headache, and said after thinking for a while, "From now on, you are not allowed to mention this idea to others. Be honest and don't cause trouble."

"Brother!" Li Shimin frowned and shouted, holding Li Jiancheng's arm unwillingly, "Isn't what Shimin said right? Let alone the Sui Dynasty..."

Li Jiancheng suddenly covered his mouth, and said in a cold voice: "You are really living and going back, I tell you, the first thing, you have to control your mouth, don't say something, give it to the family. bring disaster."

Seeing that his elder brother was angry, Li Shimin gave in and said aggrievedly: "I don't know how to say it outside, so I just talked to my elder brother."

Li Jiancheng glanced at him, slowed down his voice, and said: "Shimin, you make friends abroad, you are a chivalrous man, and the elder brother doesn't care about you, but you have to remember, what is in your heart, father will not be ignorant, and it may not be Same thought."

Li Shimin's eyes widened, "Brother, do you mean that father is also rebellious?"

Li Jiancheng tapped his forehead with hatred, "I told you to watch your own mouth, father is far-sighted, he must be more thoughtful than us, as long as you don't cause trouble!"

"Oh, I see." Li Shimin's mood suddenly relaxed, but it didn't take a while

Son, his face was ugly again, he stretched out his hand to touch Li Jiancheng's shoulder, snorted, and said something in a low voice.

Li Jiancheng didn't hear clearly, and asked in confusion, "What did you say?"

"It's nothing." Li Shimin put on a smiling face, he hugged Li Jiancheng's waist for a while, and left with a smile before his elder brother got impatient.

Back in her room, Biyu had already packed the bed and desk. Li Shimin came to the table and sat down, spread out a piece of paper, but only wrote four words.

"Broken Yetou dies."

The author has something to say: let me make a statement first. The person Li Jiancheng went to Luoyang to find earlier was called Xiao Yu.
