The set of porcelain that Li Shen had was a white porcelain tribute from the Xing kiln. The set that Li Shimin gave to Li Shen was from the Yue kiln celadon, and the set that Li Shen stole was the white porcelain from the Xing kiln.
The white porcelain of Xing kiln is dense and transparent, has a high fire temperature for glazing and pottery making, has no water absorption, and has clear and long rhyme. Moreover, the color is white, which can reflect the color of the tea soup, and the heat transfer and heat preservation properties are moderate.
This set of white porcelain was painted with landscapes and bamboo forests. It was quiet and elegant. Li Shen liked it very much when he first saw it, so he stole it from the Ganlu Hall in broad daylight when Li Shimin was not prepared.
Later, Li Shimin discovered it, but Li Shen used the excuse of not being able to find it and kept delaying the return, just like later generations of old people.
After Li Shen made tea, he poured a cup for each of Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, and also poured a cup for himself.
"Aye, let's see how your skills are and whether they have deteriorated."
Li Shenxian said enthusiastically.
Li Shimin took a sip from the cup and nodded,
"Well, it's not bad. It seems that you make tea and drink it every day in Goguryeo."
"..." Li Shen was speechless,
"Aye, I work hard and fulfill my duties in Goguryeo. I can only take a sip of herbal tea every day when I take a break from my busy schedule."
"Okay, do you think I don't know what you were doing in Goguryeo? You didn't get up until three poles of the sun every day, doing nothing all day long, just doing nothing, eating, drinking and having fun. Where are you busy?"
Li Shimin said disdainfully.
Li Shen had nothing to say. What he said was the truth, so he could only choose to study the tea cup in his hand silently to relieve the embarrassment.
Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian again:
"Gao Ming, generally speaking, I was quite satisfied with the first half of your stay in Goguryeo and gave decisive orders. However, I was very disappointed with what happened after that."
Li Chengqian quickly stood up and said:
"My son is guilty and has let Aye down."
"Sit down, Gao Ming, do you know why I am disappointed in you?" Li Shimin asked again.
"Aye should be talking about improving military discipline." Li Chengqian replied.
Li Shimin nodded,
"Well, it seems that you yourself know that you are too indecisive and have too many worries about this matter. What you are thinking about is the friendship between these old ministers.
There will be support for you in the future, and Li Ji is from your East Palace. You think he is my loyal minister, so you have to worry about their face.
But you have to remember that you are the prince now, not the emperor yet. If you offend them, you will be offended. As long as it is for my country, the Tang Dynasty, let alone offending, it doesn't matter if you kill them.
If these people are a little bit dissatisfied with you, do you think I will let them stay with you?
You are my prince, and I will pave all the roads for you before I die, including the candidates who will assist you in the future.
So you shouldn't have so many scruples. "
While Li Shimin was teaching, he said with some resentment that iron cannot become steel.
In fact, Li Shen understood what Li Shimin said better than Li Chengqian, but sometimes Li Chengqian might think too much.
But we can’t blame Li Chengqian entirely. It was Li Shimin who didn’t make it clear at first.
Li Shen encountered this kind of thing in his previous life. One of his friends planned to train his son to take over the industry, so he asked him to take charge of some things in advance.
And he also sent several old people from the company to assist. These people are all heroes who started from scratch with him.
But in the end, many of his son's decisions were opposed by these old people, and like Li Chengqian, his son also chose to give in.
This is a real thing.
This is the case with Li Chengqian now. Li Shimin is also asking Li Chengqian to take over Li Tang's foundation. Li Daozong, Li Ji, and Zhang Liang are all old men who have followed him to work hard. How similar it is.
"Brother, what Aye said is right. These people are the people who will accompany you to gain experience. Use them if they can be used. If they can't be used, just replace them. Li Ji is nothing among these people. He is just my hawk and dog, Li Tang. I am big There are many heroes of the Tang Dynasty,
If Aye didn't follow Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they would just burn incense. Look at what Li Jing, known as the God of War, is doing now. He is scared.
Big brother, you will be the emperor in the future, and you should have the momentum to dominate the world. Look how obedient and obedient Li Ji is now just because of Aye's words. So brother, don’t be afraid of anyone at this time, Aye will smooth everything over for you. "
Li Shen raised his head and continued what Li Shimin said.
Li Chengqian also knew that he was too indecisive in what happened before.
In fact, you can't blame him, the flowers in the greenhouse are like this, and all the decisive wise men are truly born.
"Gao Ming, you need to understand these by yourself. Let's have dinner in the palace today. I'll give you two a clean slate." Li Shimin actually didn't expect to wake Li Chengqian up with just one sentence. He had to rely on himself to do this slowly. enlightened.
"Aye, um... can you inform me... um..." Li Shen didn't know what to say for a moment. He wanted to ask if he could inform Lu Dingniang and Wu Meiniang and let them enter the palace for dinner.
It's just that Li Shen is a bit thin-skinned at this time and is embarrassed to say it.
"Your mother has sent someone to inform you that Qingque and Pheasant Slave will also come by then. Let's treat it as a family banquet." Who is Li Shimin? After playing with Li Shen for so long, Li Shen knew what he wanted to say when he opened his mouth.
"Haha, thank you Aye, Aye is such a wise man." Li Shen hurriedly followed suit.
"Huh, I haven't talked about you yet. You compromise wisely because you have a lot of worries. But you, known as the role model of Chang'an dandy,
They were the most powerful people in the imperial court, but they were defeated this time. Why can't you join them? What worries do you have? You just said that Li Ji and the others are just my eagle dogs, Li Tang.
But you left without saying a word, and you were forced to leave. It really disgraced my Li family. "
Li Shimin turned around and began to lecture Li Shen again, his tone full of disdain and contempt, which made Li Shen somewhat unconvinced.
And you said you were forced to leave? It's really unforgivable. Li Shen's blood surged and he shouted:
"Who said I was forced to leave? I'm going to beat Li Siwen right now and show them how powerful I am."
Li Siwen is Li Ji's second son and a member of the dandy circle. He is a civil servant. I usually hang out with Li Shen and the others.
Li Shen was planning to go to Li Siwen and beat his balls out to prove that he was not afraid of them.
Li Chengqian quickly stepped forward to hold Li Shen, fearing that Li Shen would be impulsive and do something stupid, and advised:
"Tenth brother, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive,"
"Okay, stop pretending. I don't know your virtues yet. They haven't changed since you were a child.
I named you Li Shen at the beginning to make you be cautious in your words and deeds. You are not sorry at all for the name I gave you.
You have been doing random things all day long, but I am very satisfied that you killed that Zhao Yuan in the end. He is just an ant and there is no need to stay in this world. "
