Wait until the two of them sober up.
The father and son came outside the house, sat on the small stool under the eaves, and talked.
Li Shimin looked into the distance with deep eyes and said, "We had agreed that we would go back to Chang'an on New Year's Eve this year to see if you have gone back."
"And it's pretty busy here now. It's time for you to pack up and go home, right?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded: "I will go back after everything is explained here."
"That's very good."
"If you don't go home for a year, your mother will miss you very much."
"When I came, I heard that I didn't bring her, and she was angry with me."
Li Shimin looked back at Li Chengqian and chuckled: "To be honest, I get very annoyed when I see you on weekdays. I wish I could give you a few mallets to relieve my anger."
"But somehow, you have grown up all of a sudden, and I still miss your naughty and mischievous appearance when you were a child."
"How about having fun with your father?"
"Forget it."
Li Chengqian also smiled and said bluntly: "I don't want to be served by my father's three-foot-long ruler."
"But to be honest, thinking about it, I was really angry at that time. Father, you won't hold grudges for this, right?"
"Of course I will hold a grudge."
Li Shimin rolled his eyes, then raised his hand and patted Li Chengqian's shoulder.
"However, how can a son not make me angry?"
"Didn't your dad often make your grandpa unhappy when he was a kid, and then your grandma would chase him and beat him with a broom?"
"But if you think about it carefully, aren't those happy times as father and son?"
Li Shimin sighed and said, "I really want your grandma to hit me with a broom again."
"It's a pity that there is no chance in this life. We can only wait until the next life to talk about it."
Li Chengqian closed his eyes and seemed to see Empress Changsun chasing him with a feather duster.
It seemed as if he heard her scolding and complaining.
He opened his eyes, looked at Li Shimin, grinned and said, "When my father returns, you must help me take care of my mother."
"Otherwise, when I return to Beijing, the Queen Mother will have to whip me with a feather duster."
Although he was joking, his eyes were already watering.
Li Shimin glanced at him, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will do it even if you don't say anything about it."
After speaking, he looked up at the stars: "I have been here for a year, have you decided whether to be my successor?"
"I've thought about this a long time ago."
Li Chengqian also looked up at the sky and said, "I will never be your successor in this life."
After hearing this, Li Shimin did not get angry as before, but instead smiled.
The laughter grew louder and louder, until finally the entire courtyard was enveloped in Li Shimin's laughter.
After a long time, he was tired of laughing, so he stood up and said, "You kid, you still have this bad behavior."
"That's all. Anyway, the position of prince is there. Whenever you want to do it, just tell me."
"This position will always be yours."
After saying that, Li Shimin stepped into the house regardless of Li Chengqian's expression.
Li Chengqian was left alone, stunned.
After a long while, he finally came to his senses and murmured to himself: "They are all your sons and heirs of the Li family. Who is the prince? Why do you focus on me?"
He sighed, then stood up and walked into the house.
A night of silence.
On the next day, Li Shimin will leave here and return to Chang'an City.
Li Chengqian personally escorted him to the ferry.
Before boarding the ship, Li Chengqian specially asked people to carry the pure liquor that had been prepared to the ship and asked Li Shimin to take it back to Chang'an City.
Standing at the ferry, watching the sailboat gradually go away.
Li Chengqian stood there without moving for a long time.
The affection between father and son is also good.
The bond between mother and son.
In the final analysis, these are the most genuine and genuine feelings in the world.
Now that your father is beating you, you may feel aggrieved and depressed.
But one day I saw that my father was old and could no longer lift the broom.
You will also miss the days when he could hit you.
I will even miss the carefree days of lying in my mother's arms.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Chengqian suddenly turned around.
He looked at Changsun Chong and said: "Go down and pass on my order to finish the unfinished projects as soon as possible. I will go home next month."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Changsun Chong's face unconsciously.
Li Chengqian is his master.
Wherever Li Chengqian goes, he will naturally follow him.
Li Chengqian stayed here for more than a year, and so did he.
Thinking that he would be able to go home soon, he was naturally very happy.
And compared to Li Chengqian, his situation is more urgent.
After all, Li Lizhi was getting older day by day, and he was anxious to get a wife.
If the wife he had already chosen ran away, who would he cry to?
Seeing his spineless look, Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, don't laugh at me and go quickly, otherwise I will ask my father to marry my sister to Cheng Hualiang."
Before Chang Sun Chong could speak.
Cheng Hualiang on the side was not happy at first.
"Hey, hey, your highness, you can't do anything right."
"I, Xiao Cheng, don't want Princess Shang. My mother has already arranged a marriage for her."
Seeing his appearance, Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong rolled their eyes at the same time.
…
From the fourth year of Zhenguan to the fifth year of Zhenguan, this year.
Li Chengqian can be said to have completely changed the appearance of Beimo.
Especially the Hetao area has turned into a huge and vast farm exactly as he said.
Wind-powered waterwheels can greatly reduce people's labor consumption.
The canal irrigation method reduces the damage caused by drought to crops.
Even wind mills turned some land unsuitable for farming into light industrial areas that could produce paper and cloth.
It can be said to completely make this vast and sparsely populated place come alive again.
And this also became the precursor condition for most people to respond to the call when Li Shimin promulgated the decree to move people from the south to the north.
…
April of the fifth year of Zhenguan.
Li Chengqian finally returned after a year-long absence from Chang'an.
He preached everywhere in a high-profile manner and only entered the city in an inconspicuous carriage.
The people of Chang'an City would never have thought that this old carriage could be the famous King of Qin's vehicle.
Of course, this also saved Li Chengqian a lot of trouble.
I remember when Li Ji and Li Xiaogong returned to the city, the streets were crowded with people, making it difficult for them to move.
Although this is honor and glory, Li Chengqian doesn't like it.
In his heart, he still believes that being high-profile in this era is tantamount to seeking death.
Outside the Qin Palace.
Li Chengqian looked at his small mansion and sighed in his heart.
My squishy... my cook... my model...
I miss you so much...
But he hasn't waited for him to step into the house.
A black shadow jumped directly onto his leg.
Without even looking down, Li Chengqian knew that the guy holding his thigh was definitely Xiao Chuzi.
Sure enough, the little Chuzi took a long breath, and then burst into tears.
"Your Highness, you are back and you miss me so much..."
Li Chengqian said his lines directly without Xiao Chuzi opening his mouth.
This made Xiao Chuzi confused and looked at Li Chengqian blankly.
"Okay, I'm tired of hearing your careless words."
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "Hurry up and get some delicious food for me."
