Where can a son come from without a father?
If Li Shimin spoke like this, he was really just trying not to have a good conversation.
For a moment, Empress Changsun was so helpless by him that she didn't know what to say, so she simply kept silent.
But the more she didn't speak, the more frustrated Li Shimin became.
Next, he kept looking at Queen Changsun with extremely resentful eyes.
Obviously, this guy's unwillingness to admit defeat and his paper-thin face were both stimulated by Empress Changsun.
Seeing his appearance, Queen Changsun also laughed out loud.
"Okay, okay."
"How old do you think you are?"
"Not to mention having a lot of children, even your son will have a son."
"But you are still like a child. You always want to compare with your own son."
Empress Changsun couldn't help but preach: "Is it true that you are honored to beat your son in the competition?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin was also stunned for a moment.
"Don't tell me, it's true."
"No matter how good this kid is, he still has to call me Father."
Thinking of this, Li Shimin also thought about it.
He scratched his head, held Queen Changsun's hand with an embarrassed look on his face, and said, "This matter is my fault."
Now in front of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin is much more natural.
At least judging from the conversation between them just now, they have been influenced by Li Chengqian, and they are becoming more like middle-aged couples in later generations, with the youthful passion faded but the affection of family affection added.
"If you think about it, I'm going to have a grandchild soon."
Li Shimin felt extremely happy when he thought of his daughter-in-law's slightly bulging belly.
He said: "When the time comes, I will definitely reward the Su family well."
"Please don't."
Empress Changsun directly raised her hand to cover his mouth and said, "Don't let the Su family show their face again."
Hearing this, Li Shimin was a little puzzled.
He said: "The daughter of the Su family has added a new member to our royal family, why can't she be rewarded?"
"Really, it's not that I want to teach you."
"But I really feel that the older you get, the less calculated you are when doing things."
"Don't even think about it, what is the Su family like now?"
"Not only does he have an outstanding prince as his son-in-law, but he has also been promoted several times because of his diligence with the royal family."
"And haven't you seen when our eldest son had anything to do with his father-in-law?"
"That time when he didn't come back from outside, didn't he go to his father-in-law's house with gifts as soon as possible after meeting us?"
Empress Changsun also said with worry on her face: "Even I, who is in the harem, have heard that Gao Zhixing, Changsun Chong and others will visit Su Dan every year and festival, let alone others."
"But now that one reward is not enough, you have to reward him again and again. Do you have to make the whole world jealous of Su Dan?"
After hearing what Empress Changsun said, Li Shimin finally came to his senses.
As the saying goes, if you are full, you will be in trouble. Sometimes giving someone too much love is really not the case.
After all, Changsun Wuji was a lesson learned from the past.
Changsun Wuji has a good relationship with Li Shimin and an even better relationship with Li Chengqian.
The juniors in the court respected him, and the seniors were either his friends or colleagues who respected him.
In addition, he also controls the Changsun family, a wealth group that can be said to be one of the best in the world.
With such an achievement, how could he not make others jealous?
If he hadn't discovered something was wrong himself and relied on his self-defeating reputation to get rid of those tails, he might have caused a huge trouble now.
Li Shimin also sighed lightly.
He said: "But after all, Su Qingling gave birth to a child for Qian'er, we can't just not express it at all."
"Say yes."
"But it can't be too much. It can't be done over and over again. Just give some rewards when you think of it."
"After all, you don't just have an in-law like Su Dan, you also have Lu Qing, Yan Lide and the others..."
Empress Changsun was also persuading Li Shimin very rationally at this moment.
And Li Shimin has such a characteristic that he can listen to the advice of others.
At this moment, Li Shimin also nodded.
"Okay, I'll pay attention to it in the future."
As he spoke, Li Shimin also turned to look at Empress Changsun and said, "I will deal with it in the court, but it will be up to you to take care of Qingling."
After hearing this, Queen Changsun couldn't help but frown.
Obviously, what Li Shimin said was a little too raw, which made Empress Changsun feel a little uncomfortable.
"What are you talking about?"
"I am the head of the female officials and the master of the harem."
Empress Changsun smiled slightly, then took Li Shimin's arm and said: "And our daughter-in-law is within the scope of a female official, and it is my job. Why should we say hard work is not hard work?"
The reason why Empress Changsun has been favored by Li Shimin for decades is definitely not just her face, let alone her posture.
In addition to Li Shimin's love for her, of course she also has the advantage of being able to share Li Shimin's worries and her superb emotional intelligence without making trouble.
After hearing this, Li Shimin also realized that he had just said the wrong thing.
However, he didn't say anything more about this issue. He just patted the back of Queen Changsun's hand and smiled softly.
Next, the two of them walked to the Tai Chi Palace clinging to each other, preparing to rest for a while before attending the palace banquet.
…
At the same time, on the shooting range.
After the game, Gao Zhixing, Changsun Chong, Cheng Hualiang, Xue Li, Yuchi Baolin, Qin Huaidao and other young people also came over.
Everyone also congratulated Li Chongyi in front of them.
Then Yuchi Baolin took the lead to walk to Li Chengqian and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, are you going to attack Baekje?"
They all saw the scene just now, but no one said anything.
But Li Chengqian shook his head slightly.
"A unified peninsula is far less useful to us than a divided peninsula."
"After all, if Baekje dies, Silla will be the only one in power."
Hearing this, Cheng Huailiang said carelessly: "Wouldn't it be enough to wipe out Silla as well and bring them all into the territory of the Tang Dynasty?"
"What else can I say, you only have strength but no brains?"
Changsun Chong stood aside and said angrily: "If it can be destroyed, they were all destroyed when we went to Silla last time. Why wait until now?"
"In a word, if we destroy Silla, all the small countries around us will have to stay away from us."
"This is not to mention the political philosophy that our Majesty has just begun to implement, the king's way to conquer the world."
Hearing this, Xue Li also nodded and said: "Master Changsun is right."
"What's more, there is still a Japanese country eyeing the east. If the Japanese country is not destroyed and Silla is destroyed first, we will lose the strategic buffer zone."
"Maybe by then, a lot of money will be spent on food and supplies at the border every year."
"In this case, it is better to let the Silla Royal Court exist, and then it can help us block the Japanese attack."
After hearing Xue Li's remarks, Li Chengqian finally smiled with satisfaction.
Among these brothers of mine, there are some who are not fools, right?
Li Chengqian also looked at the people in front of him and said: "From now on, you all should learn from Rengui and don't always look at the surface when looking at problems..."
