In the Imperial Garden.
Li Shimin pretended to teach these two traitors a lesson.
But who would have thought that his unsatisfactory belly revealed his original purpose.
But at the moment, he simply stopped pretending.
He sat down on the ground, grabbed a wine glass and took a sip.
The spicy liquor in his mouth really brought him a rare pleasure.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Well, good wine."
When he turned around, he saw his two stupid sons still standing there blankly.
Li Shimin couldn't help but said: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you quickly bring me the leg of lamb?"
Hearing this, the two of them hurriedly unloaded the leg of lamb from the shelf and placed it in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was not polite at all. He grabbed a knife and cut off a large piece of mutton leg meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
There is no need to say more about Li Chengqian's craftsmanship, because it is already so good that there is nothing to say about it.
This roasted lamb leg is tender and juicy, and the flavor is even more unique because of the addition of cumin and chili powder.
"Not bad, not bad, really good."
"This roasted leg of lamb is infinitely better than the ones made by those royal chefs."
After speaking, Li Shimin was stunned.
He looked up at the two motionless guys again and said, "You two don't want to eat?"
"I'm just waiting for my father's words."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian didn't hesitate at all, he smiled and sat on Li Shimin's left hand side.
When Li Ke next to him saw him sitting down, he also sat down with him.
The father and son sat on the floor, eating lamb legs and drinking wine.
After two or three glasses of wine, the father and son started talking.
Li Shimin asked without hesitation: "Ke'er, I heard that you took your brother to the Changsun Mansion today?"
"yes."
Li Ke nodded.
Hearing this, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the result?"
Yu Gong, Changsun Wuji became the right minister of the court and was in charge of the important affairs of the cabinet.
Privately, Changsun's family is Queen Changsun's natal family, and Changsun Wuji is Li Shimin's best friend.
Of course, he also wanted to know what Changsun Wuji's attitude was towards this matter.
After hearing his question, Li Ke couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He said: "Lord Changsun... he didn't agree."
Hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.
At that moment, he also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This is quite what I expected."
"After all, what you did back then was really not good."
"I would be surprised if he agreed."
Although Changsun Wuji looks weak, he has only been working in civilian positions in recent years.
But you must know that the civil and military ministers of the Tang Dynasty are actually very vague. Even a guy like Fang Xuanling, who usually looks like an old scholar, can fight on horseback, let alone Changsun Wuji.
In the beginning, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji met because of an archery competition.
Of course, Li Shimin relied on his superb archery skills to win ten out of ten in the competition.
But Changsun Wuji's score of nine out of ten was not that bad after all.
And how can such a person who is first-class in civility and only slightly inferior to Li Shimin in martial arts not have the character of a martial artist?
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Ke's face was also full of bitterness.
At this time, Li Chengqian, who had always spoken nicely, also said: "No matter what, this matter must be settled."
"After all, if our royal family keeps ignoring it, it may be fine now, but it will definitely be a problem in the future."
"It's inevitable that some people will use the royal family's ruthlessness to make excuses."
Li Chengqian's words really moved Li Shimin's heart.
Li Chengqian, who was well aware of Li Shimin's temperament, struck a chord while the iron was hot: "Father, you have made great achievements in this life."
"I'm not trying to flatter you by saying this, I'm just telling the truth."
"Militarily, let's fight in the north from Yanmen Pass all the way to Mobei."
"The only one who can compare with such achievements is Huo Qubing, who was granted the title of "Fenglangjuxu", right?"
"Let's talk about the west, we fight all the way from Yumen Pass to Congling in Tianshan Mountain. Only Huo Qubing can achieve such an achievement, right?"
"Then there is the south. We fought from Shu to the current Jiaozhou coast, and directly opened it up."
"And the last one in the east is not to mention. Be it Goguryeo or Northeast Sanfang, which one is not screaming for us to clean up?"
Li Chengqian listed them one by one: "If we don't mention these, let's talk about martial arts."
“In the previous dynasty, it was extremely difficult for the common people to have a hot meal, but what about now?”
"Every day, what people think about is what to eat at night, whether it's pork or mutton. People can eat it in a variety of ways."
"And you ask, compared with other dynasties, how much better are the lives of our people in the Tang Dynasty?"
"There are so many emperors in history, whether they are Emperor Qin or Emperor Wu of Han, they may have other places where they can surpass the Tang Dynasty."
"But are their people as good as the people of Tang Dynasty?"
"In other words, how glorious has our Datang become under your leadership?"
Li Chengqian looked directly at Li Shimin, and then praised: "Father, in terms of your achievements, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are among the top three emperors of Qianqiu."
After hearing these words, Li Shimin was a little swollen, with pride written all over his face.
But at this moment, Li Chengqian's conversation suddenly changed.
"But my father."
"After all, history is something that should be left to future generations to comment on."
"So sometimes I have to think about those so-called little things."
"If your due historical status is always affected by these small things, and even criticized by future generations, it is really a bit..."
Li Chengqian smacked his mouth, with a look of regret on his face.
When he heard this, how could Li Shimin not know what he meant?
At that moment, Li Shimin also snorted softly and said: "After saying so much, your last sentence is the key point, right?"
"hey-hey."
"Father is wise..."
Li Chengqian chuckled, and then said: "The Changsun family and our royal family, after all, broken bones are connected to tendons. Even half of the blood on your son and I belongs to the Changsun family."
"As for Tingmei, in the final analysis, it is our royal family's responsibility. It is our royal family that has failed the eldest grandson's family."
"So, I think it's better to ignore it and wait for the day when the incident comes to light."
"It's better to take advantage of the fact that this matter hasn't passed for a long time, and our royal family will directly expose this matter."
"Anyway, what we announced to the public at the beginning was that we were not in harmony. Now that they are reconciled, it is a good thing, right?"
"And after Tingmei enters the profession again, in addition to giving Tingmei a big reward, you will also have to punish Kedi severely."
"This time, at least we have to let everyone in the world take a good look at it."
"Our royal family is not ruthless and bully others."
"We also have feelings, we are human, and we make mistakes."
"But we will correct our mistakes when we know they are wrong, right?"
After hearing these words, Li Kena also looked at Li Chengqian with gratitude.
Before Li Shimin could speak, this guy took the lead and knelt down on Li Shimin's knees and kowtowed: "If I can marry Ting'er again, I will be willing to bear any punishment no matter what."
Seeing the two people singing together, Li Shimin also sighed.
He grabbed the wine glass, leaned back and drank the wine in one gulp, sighing: "I don't know if I am unlucky or lucky to have given birth to you two guys..."
