At the beginning, he and Changsun Wuji just took advantage of the situation and wanted to test the bottom line of those people. Unexpectedly, they did not expect that this test would lead to the bottom!
Simply——
For a moment, he didn't know how to describe his mood at this time. He felt that his son-in-law, who was so smart and wise, would definitely understand how he felt.
He looked at Wang Zi'an expectantly.
Who knows, he hasn't quite figured out what his mood should be at this moment, when he hears a chuckle from Wang Zi'an.
"So, what does this matter have to do with you?"
After Wang Zi'an finished speaking, he patted his shoulder perfunctorily.
"Wake up, father-in-law, we are just a businessman. Businessmen, what are you doing with so much idleness? Such national affairs have little to do with us. If you have this time, wouldn't it be nice to go home and spend time with your wife and children? I don't know. I thought you were the emperor——"
Li Shimin:...
So angry!
"You didn't say that. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Why are you turning around and denying it?"
The prince was happy when he settled down. He hadn't seen him for just a few days, and he had learned to use his spear to attack his shield.
"So, just say, what's the use of our talking here? Empty talk will only harm the country, but hard work will make it prosperous. Rhetoric is of no use. If you really have that heart, why don't you go back and donate some money and equipment to His Majesty? Come on, you don’t know how poor our Majesty is..."
What am I——?
Li Shimin almost choked him back in one breath.
I'm poor, so I eat your rice!
Ah, it seems I actually ate it...
Being interrupted like this by Wang Zi'an, the anger he felt towards the Wang family's bullying dissipated inexplicably.
Angrily, he found a stool to sit down on and snarled angrily.
"Why don't you donate? Just because you have money——"
Wang Zi'an ignored him and cheerfully picked up the kettle from the stove nearby and poured a glass of boiled water for each of them.
"What's there to say about this kind of thing? What to do, what to do - just a few bandits, and the situation in Hezhou is out of control?"
"How is it possible? Hezhou is an important border town. The old man Shi Yunting was just caught off guard. It's not a big problem - Chu Yuanheng is not a vegetarian. He leads troops quite well. With him watching, there shouldn't be a big problem. …”
Before Li Shimin could speak, Cheng Yaojin waved his hand nonchalantly.
Although Fang Xuanling didn't speak, his expression almost meant the same thing. He couldn't understand why his majesty was so excited when he received the news, and even took the two of him to Wang Zi'an to talk about it.
It's such a trivial matter, why do you come here specifically to greet Wang Zi?
Li Shimin:...
He suddenly didn't know what to say.
After all, if you use Changsun Wuji's hand to lay a trap for the Wang family, you can't even kill him.
Otherwise, the world's saliva will not drown him?
"Lao Cheng, you are still a general in the court, how can the problem be so simple? Is this a matter of a few bandits? I don't believe it. A few bandits dare to sneak attack on me, the governor of the Tang Dynasty! You know, Hezhou There were thousands of elite soldiers stationed on the ground. Where did these rogue bandits get such courage and ability? Not only did they sneak attack Shi Jishi with hundreds of guards, but they also escaped without a trace - to say the least There is nothing fishy in this, do you believe it?"
When Li Shimin said this, Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling couldn't help but look stern, and Wang Zi'an also looked at him in surprise.
"You mean, Chu Yuanheng has a problem!"
Cheng Yaojin's lazy look suddenly disappeared.
"Otherwise, how do you explain it? Even if it doesn't happen, I'm afraid it still has something to do with it..."
At this time, Fang Xuanling finally understood why his Majesty had to go to Wang Zi'an in person. It seemed that there might be a big problem in Hezhou, and he wanted to ask Wang Zi'an for his opinion first.
As for His Majesty, when he encounters a problem, he doesn't consult with the ministers, but first consults Wang Zi'an. He is already used to it.
Otherwise, what else can be done?
"Look at your fussy virtues——"
Wang Zi'an glanced at the three of them with disgust.
"So what if something goes wrong with Chu Yuanheng? Is it possible that Hezhou can still become Chu Yuanheng's talking point? Don't worry, your majesty and those ministers in the court are not fools. Since Shi Yunting can be sent there by the court, it is not possible to think about it. What kind of mediocre person, as long as he is here, nothing big can happen - in this situation, is it possible that anyone would dare to rebel?"
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling spoke in agreement. In the past six months, His Majesty has pacified Mobei, provided relief to the victims, and solved the salt shortage. His reputation among the government and the public has skyrocketed. He is no longer in a situation where he needed to look forward and backward. .
In this case, who would rebel unless his head was kicked by a donkey?
Li Shimin:...
Is this what I want to say?
However, after being interrupted by Wang Zi'an, he also lost interest in continuing to talk about this topic.
If all this is really caused by the Wang family behind the scenes, then what should be done?
A table was set up in the back garden, and a few people played mahjong for a while, winning some money from Wang Zi'an. They had another meal at Wang Zi'an's place at noon, and then happily got up and left.
"Zian, let's play again next time——"
Li Shimin smiled happily.
I finally defeated this brat for a while, how could I feel so beautiful in my heart?
Wang Zi'an almost became angry.
"Come here, who's afraid of whom? I'm letting you guys go this time, but next time I'll be careful to knock off your pants!"
Hearing this guy's angrily shouting, Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but laugh. They ignored him and ordered him with cheerful smiles.
"We agreed, we must wait for us tonight. I have lived for most of my life and have never seen lanterns in the sky - remember to prepare some good wine and food -"
Wang Zi’an:……
Isn't it just a chance to win money?
What's there to be proud of!
If my little apprentice hadn't gone with Su Su to watch Yingxiang, see if I don't torture you to death!
I have made up my mind that as long as my little apprentice is away from now on, I will never play mahjong with these idiots. Showing off after winning money is not a son of a man.
The brand is too bad!
After holding back his anger, he turned around and went to the martial arts field.
"Come here, I will personally practice with you two as my master today to see if you have made any progress recently!"
He waved to Xi Junmai and Wang Xuance who were sparring.
Carrying a hammer is a bit bullying.
Wang Zi'an simply picked up a spear.
Although you are resisting in your heart, don’t you dare to resist?
Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai made a sad face, and each chose a long halberd. Ever since they saw their master's halberd technique that day, the two of them fell in love with it. Now, the Fang Tian painted halberd in their hands is not as good as Xue Rengui's. They are heavy, but the style is exactly the same, and they are all made of highly refined steel. They are considered first-class weapons in the army.
The two looked at each other, cheered up, and rushed forward with great morale.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Xi Junmai and Wang Xuance collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud, looking at their master with tears in their eyes. The gap was really too big.
"It's not bad, I've made some progress, practice hard, and I'll adjust the medicinal bath recipe for you as a teacher again -"
Wang Zi'an threw away the spear in his hand and walked away refreshed.
It’s great to have an apprentice——
Lantern Festival.
The entire city of Chang'an was lit up like daylight, turning it into a city that never sleeps.
Before it got dark, Li Shimin and his wife came hand in hand with Fang Xuanling.
I didn’t bring any children with me. After all, we were planning to take a hot air balloon tour tonight. It was not suitable to take children with us because it was too cold at high altitude.
Cheng Yaojin was so awesome that he brought his two sons directly.
I just don’t know why, but Cheng Chumo, who always likes to join in the fun, has been following behind today, dilly-dallying, and his face is a little pale.
"Aye, I made an appointment with a friend today——"
Before getting on the hot air balloon, Cheng Chumo stopped again and looked at his father pitifully.
Then, Cheng Yaojin kicked him up.
"Stop talking nonsense and learn from me. If you can't learn to fly this hot air balloon by yourself today, I will kick you out of the sky——"
Cheng Chumo:...
This must be a biological father!
It was easy for Wang Zi'an, he just brought Su Su and Wu Zetian.
Originally, Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai also wanted to follow, but they were rejected by Wang Zi'an.
Although a hot air balloon of the same size could carry more than a dozen people in the previous life, this was the Tang Dynasty after all, and the materials used were not comparable to those in the previous life. He did not dare to blindly take so many people on this ride.
You know, the emperor and the queen are also following. If there is an accident, it will be really fun.
This means that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty knew about it. Otherwise, if Wang Zi'an had known about it, he would have scolded him to death if he dared to secretly take his majesty and the queen to play this.
Bringing a small table and some side dishes, Wang Zi'an personally took the helm and took a few people into the air smoothly.
Feeling the wind in the air, Wang Zi'an took a glance, his face turned pale, and he wished he could just lie down on the upper part of the chassis and be silent. Then he looked at Li Shimin and his wife, who looked nervous and held on to the guardrail tightly. Wang Zi'an couldn't help but smile.
Swallowed back the teasing words.
The father-in-law can tease the mother-in-law and forget about it, so as not to be scolded in the future.
"We are quite lucky today. The wind is not strong, so we can go sightseeing——"
Although he knew that the hot air balloon was not a big problem, Wang Zi'an still did not dare to raise it too high, but even so, Empress Changsun and others were nervous and excited.
Looking at Chang'an from a high altitude and looking at it from the ground are two completely different scenery.
At this time, the moon was bright and clear, the sky was blue, and the stars seemed to be within reach. Li Shimin, Queen Changsun and others finally overcame the nervousness they felt when they just took off, tentatively holding on to the handrails and looking down.
At this time, when the lanterns are on, the streets of Chang'an are brightly lit and filled with people.
Dragon dancers, lion dancers, jugglers——
There were loud gongs and drums everywhere, and it was very lively.
"This is the grand event scene of my Tang Dynasty——"
Li Shimin's eyes flashed as if there was light.
Empress Changsun knew her husband's thoughts, so she calmly held Li Shimin's big hand and leaned against him gently.
Su Su and Wu Zetian didn't know what they were thinking of. One big and one small, one on the left and one on the right, they all held Wang Zi'an's hand tightly, looking at the human fireworks below with rapt attention.
Only Cheng Yaojin looked at his two sons with disgust.
If he wasn't afraid of ruining the mood of His Majesty and the Queen, he would have just wanted to kick her over.
This unsatisfactory bitch, what a great learning opportunity, is afraid of turning into such a bear, it really embarrasses me, Old Cheng!
"Zian, you have always been quick-thinking and are known as the most talented person in the Tang Dynasty. At this moment, why don't you write a poem for everyone to appreciate -"
At this moment, Empress Changsun reached out and brushed her hair that was messed up by the night wind, and turned her head to look at Wang Zi'an with a sweet smile.
Seeing Queen Changsun speak, Su Su and Wu Zetian also looked over with bright eyes.
When Cheng Yaojin saw this situation, he also stroked his beard in a serious manner.
"That's right, hurry up and compose a poem for—let us all appreciate—"
Wang Zi’an:……
That’s right, you’ll really appreciate it.
However, after all, he was in front of the two brothers, Empress Changsun and Cheng Chumo. Cheng Chuliang couldn't laugh at him directly. He smiled at him, held on to the armrest, looked at the lights of Wanjia below, pondered for a moment, and chanted in a manly voice: .
