Reborn Prince built

Madam Dou's room.I saw Mrs. Dou's long black hair hanging down, a band around her forehead, she looked tired and powerless, she was sitting with her eyes slightly closed, leaning against her hidden pouch, and she didn't even notice that they entered the room.There was a slight pain in his heart, and he still smiled and called out: "Why don't you take a break, madam? It's time for lunch break."

"How do you tell me to sleep?" Mrs. Dou opened her eyes and reproached feebly.

Li Yuan took her hand and remained silent for a long time before he said in shame: "I am incompetent, and I am so tired that Madam has to work so hard."

"You're talking nonsense again, did you and I do this for nothing?" Mrs. Dou smiled and pushed him, but her strength was extremely weak, she had no strength left.

Before Li Yuan could speak, she restrained her face and said solemnly: "Mr. Lang, do you still remember that I told you before that the house should keep good horses and eagles and dogs, and the master should avoid it."

Li Yuan thought for a while, then nodded and said: "I remember, at that time I said with a smile that I just kept it for fun, and I will not be punished for it."

Mrs. Dou sighed, "Now my lord is suspicious, and I haven't really taken action against the Li family, but because the expedition is imminent, I still have a lot of concerns. If the county magistrate can be soft, then this matter should be over."

"Ma'am, what do you mean?" Li Yuan asked with a frown.

"What I mean is that good horses are easy to get, and eagles and dogs are not very interesting. If it can bring peace to the whole family, please ask the county magistrate to submit it early."

Li Yuan sighed and said: "I understand. When Jian Jiancheng comes back, I will talk to my children and then I will do it."

A letter from Li Yuan asked Li Jiancheng to return quickly. The old lair of the bandits in the west of the county had already been taken away, and thousands of people were captured. After bathing and changing clothes, I went to the front hall to meet Li Yuan.

When they arrived at the front hall, the whole family was there, sitting around a table, and Chai Shao, who had not seen him for a long time, was also there.

He sat down on the tuanpu beside Li Xiuning, with Li Shimin on his right and Li Yuanji in the middle.He glanced at Li Shimin out of the corner of his eye, but Li Shimin didn't know if he noticed it, but just took a sip of the rice wine on the table, his expression normal.

Li Yuan was naturally very happy to see him coming back and bringing back the news of Dasheng, but remembering that he missed Li Shimin's wedding, he was a little displeased and said: "You are the eldest brother, why didn't you come back even when your younger brother got married?"

"At that time, Liu Sima was about to find out the bandit's lair. If he didn't seize the time to destroy it, he might have heard the news and fled. In the end, the bamboo basket was empty, and the lord will inevitably blame him. Besides," he paused, his eyes flickering. Looking at Li Yuan with a smile, he said: "The capture of thousands of people this time may be useful in the future..."

After he said that, Li Shimin still had no expression on his face. Everyone thought he was blaming Li Jiancheng for not coming back in time, and they didn't care.Anyway, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng have always been close, and their anger dissipated after a few days.

Li Yuan naturally understood what he meant, nodded and stopped blaming him.Sitting on his left side, Li Xiuning turned her head and wanted to talk to him. Just as she saw a deep scar on his cheek, about a finger long, and had scabbed over, she frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Big Brother's face?" What's going on?"

As soon as she said that everyone present had noticed, they all showed worried expressions.Li Jiancheng didn't take it seriously, and wrote lightly: "Xu was shot by Liu Ya after he broke into the stronghold, it's okay."

"Fortunately it's not my daughter's family, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get married." Li Xiuning joked with him, which eased the atmosphere.

No one noticed that Li Shimin lowered his eyes and secretly clenched his hands in his sleeves.

Li Yuan pondered: "Do you know about Governor Gao?"

"Slightly heard."

For Gao Shilian, Li Jiancheng didn't like him, and even hated him a little.Because he later remembered that although Gao Shilian looked like a good old man, he should also have a part in the affairs of Xuanwumen. To incite Li Shimin to rebel.And it was expected that he was demoted, so he was not touched much.

"Inspector Gao was exiled. I'm afraid that the disaster will soon be our Li family's turn." Li Yuan sighed and said, "It is said that the late emperor had a dream that Chang'an was flooded and all the houses were washed away. There was only one plum tree standing in the water. Fearing that the heavens would bring disaster to Chang'an, the first emperor moved the capital to Luoyang. I don't know who was a broken-hearted person who told the story to the Lord, and the Lord really believed the Li family's statement that the world would win the world. , I have been suspicious of our Li family since early in the morning."

It is true that the Li family won the world, but it is only a matter of time, Li Jiancheng thought to himself after hearing this.

"Who else wants to frame the Li family, except Yu Wenshu and his son!" Chai Shao said.As soon as he mentioned this name, he showed a contemptuous expression. When he was the prince's backup body in Chang'an, he had heard about what Yu Wenshu and his son did, but he was weak and could do nothing.

"My lord has become suspicious of the Li family, the most important thing now is to show my loyalty." Li Jiancheng said.

Everything is developing along the original track, which makes Li Jiancheng feel at ease.

"Well," Li Yuan nodded in agreement. Although he had agreed with Mrs. Dou's opinion, he still wanted to hear what the eldest son thought, "Do you have an idea for Jiancheng?"

"Did father forget?" Li Jiancheng reminded him: "Mother also persuaded father before, asking father to dedicate a few good horses in the family to the Lord."

Li Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "As expected of my son, I thought of going with your parents."

Li Yuanji obviously didn't understand, curled his lips and said disdainfully: "There are thousands of good horses in the palace, does the lord still care about the few horses of the Li family?"

Li Jiancheng explained to him calmly, "If it was before, the lord would not have cared, but now the lord has conquered Korea three times, and there are many oppositions. He lacks supporters. At this time, the Li family offered to donate horses to do so." Military use means that our Li family supports Zheng Gaoli. In this way, it can not only please the Lord, but also dispel his worries about the Li family, killing two birds with one stone."

"Father has always claimed to be upright, how can he be flattering like those villains now, is he extremely flattering?" Li Shimin, who had never spoken before, suddenly uttered such a sentence, and the irony in it was unknown whether it was aimed at Li Yuan or Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng looked at him sideways, but he looked down at the cup on the table and remained silent.Li Jiancheng knew what was in his heart, but he couldn't accept his love, and he couldn't even be a brother. This surprised him. He thought that Li Shimin would forget it after a long time. It got deeper and deeper, maybe... Li Shimin just cared about his scolding words, he thought to himself, but he was actually a little guilty.

Li Yuan was not annoyed, and explained: "I can't let the Li family's foundation be destroyed in my hands. Secondly, even if I don't think about myself, I should try to protect my children. Compared with relatives, relatives are more important than fame and power. No matter what outsiders think, I only hope that people in the Li family can see my painstaking efforts and difficulties."

After he confessed, Li Shimin's expression softened, and he bowed his head and said, "Shimin shouldn't misunderstand father."

"Leave the horse sacrifice to Jiancheng," Li Yuan said.

Li Jiancheng had always been prudent in his work, and Li Yuan trusted the eldest son very much, so it was perfect for him to entrust such an important matter to him.

"Let me go." But Li Shimin suddenly said: "Brother just came back from the west of the county, and he has to rush to Luoyang non-stop. It's too tiring. Shimin couldn't help with the bandit suppression a few days ago. What, let me take the place of elder brother this time."

Li Jiancheng looked at him, wondering how sincere his words were, or if Li Shimin just didn't want to see him.

Li Yuan thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Alright, your elder brother just came back, Madam will not want him to go far away again, so you can go instead of him."

Things suddenly changed direction, which caught Li Jiancheng a little unprepared. According to the memory of his previous life, his father had indeed appointed him to do the horse sacrifice. Why did it suddenly change?

"Later, you will go to the other hall to choose a few good horses. It's not too late. You will leave for Luoyang in two days. Wugou also needs to appease her. You will go out soon after you marry her, so you can't stay with her. "

Li Shimin responded one by one, and said that he would go to the other hall to choose horses. He had unique insights into horses, so Li Yuan also believed in his vision.Before leaving, he deeply forgot to take a look at Li Jiancheng. There were so many things in his eyes that Li Jiancheng was a little at a loss.Li Shimin originally thought that he had given up, but when Li Jiancheng came in, he looked at him from the corner of his eye, and his heart missed a beat. Only then did he realize that he still couldn't let go, after thinking about it, he still felt that we should stay away from each other Well, although we won't see each other forever, at least we will be apart for a while.

Or maybe... He stopped, playing with the two jade rings that Li Jiancheng had given him, with a slight smile on his lips, there might be other ways.

After discussing the matter, Li Jiancheng went to pay his respects to Mrs. Dou, and happened to meet his eldest grandson Wugou, who respectfully saluted him, saying that he had not fulfilled his wedding etiquette, so he made up for it at this time.Changsun Wugou didn't mind that he, the eldest brother, didn't come back in time. She is a sensible woman, so she naturally knows what is the greatest.As for the eldest grandson Wugou, Li Jiancheng is also very relieved, because she will become Li Shimin's good helper in the future, and her character is no less than that of Mrs. Dou.

On the other side, Li Shimin took his eldest grandson Wuji to the other hall to choose the best horses.Changsun Wuji followed behind Li Shimin, uncharacteristically, without saying a word, and Li Shimin couldn't stand it listlessly.

In the past few days, whenever he was in Li's residence, he was so depressed.
