Li Shen didn't know what happened. He could still feel Li Shimin's excitement when he was telling the story.
Why did my mood change so drastically all of a sudden?
Li Shen carefully recalled what had just happened, and suddenly Li Shen seemed to have caught something.
Just now his father told him that Duke E had saved his life three times, but Li Shimin only told him twice and stopped.
Li Shen remembered that when he listened to the romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in his previous life, he told a story about Yuchi Gong saving Li Shimin.
The place where this story takes place is at Xuanwu Gate.
At that time, after the princes Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji entered the Xuanwu Gate, Li Jiancheng was shot to death by Li Shimin with an arrow.
Li Yuanji fled to a small forest at Xuanwumen.
Li Shimin went to pursue him and was knocked off his horse by a branch. He fell so hard that he couldn't get up for a while. When Li Yuanji saw this scene, he
He quickly ran back, picked up the bow that fell on the ground, and prepared to avenge his elder brother Li Jiancheng and strangle Li Shimin to death.
Yuchi Gong shot Li Yuanji to death with an arrow and saved Li Shimin.
At that time, the prince and the generals Feng Li and Xie Shufang of the Prince of Qi's Palace led their troops to avenge Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
Empress Changsun immediately sent the guards from Prince Qin's palace to come to the rescue. Finally, Yuchi Gong chopped off the heads of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
After arriving in front of the two armies to show off, the guards of the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion were defeated, and Li Shimin was safe and sound.
Li Shen guessed that Li Shimin was thinking about the Xuanwu Sect, so he felt a little sad.
In fact, Li Shen discovered over the years that Li Shimin had not gotten over the Xuanwumen incident for more than 20 years.
After all, they were his own eldest brother and younger brother, and they were forced to do nothing at that time. Either he died or I died.
If given the choice, Li Shimin would not kill them all.
Li Shen didn't know what to say at this time, but suddenly Li Shen waved to Lu Dingniang.
After Lu Dingniang came over, Li Shen took the Yang Yang in his hand and raised it in front of Li Shimin.
"Aye, my wife wants to accompany her mother. Please help me take care of this boy."
The little guy kicked his legs in mid-air and stretched out his hand to grab Li Shimin's beard.
Li Shimin saw this and took over quickly, with a smile on his face.
"Hahahaha, you kid, you still want to scratch Ah Weng's beard,"
"Lao Shi, this boy is very similar to your elder brother when he was a child. I was the King of Qin at that time.
Your eldest brother likes to pull my hair. "Li Shimin was very happy holding his grandson in his arms.
Who doesn't want to enjoy family happiness.
"Oh, Aye, the 100-day banquet for these two little guys hasn't been held yet.
It's been more than half a year. Aye, do you think we should choose a good and auspicious day to make up for the 100-day banquet? "Li Shen slapped his head,
"Humph, now that you've become an Aye, you're still so impatient in doing things.
When you are asked to do something, how long will it take? After you come back, your mother has already asked the Taishi Bureau to figure it out.
The twenty-eighth of this month is a good day. Then you can host a banquet at the palace. "Li Shimin snorted coldly.
"Hehe, thank you very much, Aye's mother." Li Shen grinned.
"By the way, how is the situation in Japan? It has been almost a year. Where is my money?"
Li Shimin invested money in the Japanese plan and accounted for 50%.
“It is under construction and should be able to build a city with a radius of ten miles next year.
At that time, the imperial court can send troops to occupy this place under the pretext of guarding.
Hundreds of miles around there have been bought by our children, and we are slowly eroding it. Sooner or later, it will become an enclave of my Datang. "
Li Shen explained.
"Well, very good, we have sent 10,000 troops to Baekje this year.
Baekje originally thought that Goguryeo would swallow Silla and they would get a share of the pie.
But I never thought that the Tang Dynasty had defeated Goguryeo and was now trapped.
Silla took the opportunity to fight back and regained the lost territory, and had a tendency to retaliate.
So Baekje was afraid and sent a mission to ask Datang for help.
We followed the method you mentioned before and dispatched an army to maintain peace and stationed it in Baekje.
He was the next to conquer Goguryeo. "Li Shimin said confidently.
They used the peacekeeping force Li Shen mentioned as an excuse to station troops.
While the two men were chatting, Lu Dingniang came over.
"Aye, it's time to eat."
Li Shen quickly took Yang Yang from Li Shimin's arms, handed it to Lu Dingniang, and then helped Li Shimin up.
In fact, Li Shen originally planned to roast the whole lamb, but it was too slow, so he roasted some meat first.
Prepare the roasted whole lamb first and eat it in the afternoon.
Li Shen took out a few boxes of fruit wine and some Wangfu's special juice.
Paired with smoothies from the ice cellar, it's cool and refreshing in this hot summer.
Li Shimin gave up liquor, drank fruit wine, and watched his little wives singing and dancing. He was so happy.
Li Shimin spent a whole day at Li Shen's place, eating, drinking, and having fun, and then he returned to the palace with his family satisfied.
Before leaving, he told Li Shen not to be too playful and to do something for the court when he had time.
Li Shen nodded and bowed and agreed, but it went in one ear and out the other.
Li Shimin left, and Li Shen breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally continue to spend the summer here.
The day after Li Shimin returned, Chang'an sent out several fast horses, and Wang Xuance arrived soon after.
"My lord, Liu Lan was cut in half, and his followers were also sentenced to death."
"Isn't this normal? What's all the fuss about, Xuance, go back and practice more calligraphy when you have time.
I will write an invitation to the king in a few days. Li Shen said disdainfully,
Report any news to me, and what else do I need you to do?
"Your Majesty, we are just an inducer to expose Liu Lan. There is someone else who exposed him."
Wang Xuance continued, not caring at all about Li Shen's attitude.
"Is there someone else? Could it be that someone else knew that Liu Lan was planning to rebel and reported it to His Majesty?" Li Shen wondered.
My own newspaper delivers news very quickly.
"I didn't report it to Your Majesty, but there was a county captain named You Wenzhi under Liu Lan's rule. He committed a serious crime, was imprisoned, and was sentenced to be beheaded.
In order to survive through meritorious service, he exposed Liu Lan's rebellion conspiracy.
A prophecy proved that Liu Lan was found guilty of rebellion and was sentenced to be cut in half. "
Wang Xuance explained.
"Huh??" Li Shen was surprised. This Liu Lan must be too unlucky.
Even if he didn't notice it, Liu Lan would still be doomed.
This is really a trick of fate.
Wang Xuance saw Li Shen's surprised look with his mouth wide open, and continued to report another shocking news to Li Shen.
"Your Majesty, there is another thing that is even more shocking."
"Speak quickly."
"Just after Liu Lan was cut in half, the Duke of Tianshui and General Qiu Xinggong of the Youxiao Guard,
For some unknown reason, he dug out Liu Lan's heart and liver, cooked it and ate it. "
"Ugh~~~What did you say? Ugh~~~" Li Shen felt like vomiting.
