"Young Master's words make sense."
Changsun Wuji's eyes flashed, and he muttered,
"Your Majesty has had a good relationship with Tuli Khan before. Why don't you communicate privately to provoke him?"
"With our fueling the flames and secret support, Tuli Khan will definitely have more confidence to challenge Jieli Khan! If they fight among themselves, not only will the pressure on our border be reduced sharply, but we can even take a look at Shuofang."
Snapped!
"That's right, Master Liang must eradicate that thief!"
Yuchi Gong slapped the table and said,
"Shuofang is the bridgehead to advance into northern Xinjiang. If we hold it in our hands, it is equivalent to driving a nail into the Turks!"
"When the grassland changes, it will be more convenient for Your Majesty to launch an offensive!"
When it came to military strategy, he immediately felt less sleepy.
Counterattacking the Turks was the long-cherished wish of all the generals in the Tang Dynasty!
Da da.
Li Shimin tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
"That's how it should be."
He suddenly raised his eyes, put his palms together and smiled,
"I have the final say whether the Turks will be in chaos or not!"
"Tuli Khan is a sword, a sharp sword that can fight with Jieli! I want to sharpen him and stab Jieli well!"
"My dear friends, you all have excellent strategies. I am very pleased and have gained a lot! Hahaha..."
The two national strategies for the first year of Zhenguan were finalized during this cup of tea!
"Your Majesty, it's getting late."
Changsun Wuguo on the side reminded him softly,
"We still have to go back to see our father. His old man has now moved out of Liangyi Palace. We should be more eager to do so, so as not to waste time."
"Let's have lunch today with my father at Hongyi Palace."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot."
He immediately stood up and said,
"I have to take the princes with me to meet my father. He is old. He doesn't like to be lonely, but he likes to be lively."
"On the first day of the new year, he should be allowed to enjoy family happiness..."
"Let's go back to the palace."
With that said, Li Er lifted his legs and left the living room.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty and the Queen."
All the princes stood up and saluted, followed behind the emperor and empress, and sent them off respectfully.
But now, Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Changsun Chong were already mingling together and having a great time!
I saw the children gathered in a circle, each holding a small piece of paper in their hands.
Li Chengqian said: "This is a sage."
Li Tai said: "He has great works."
Li Ke said: "He has many disciples, and the disciples are also very outstanding."
Changsun Chong said: "We are still studying his thoughts and turning them into classics."
As the four of them talked, they looked at each other, chewing on the meaning of each other's words.
Until Yuchi Paulin said:
"My dad always calls himself that and talks about it!"
When the children heard this, they burst into laughter instantly!
"Hahaha, Pauline is undercover!"
"Yes! You must be an undercover agent, and the one you drew must be me, right?"
"Punishment, punishment!"
Several children started making noises, which made Yuchi Baolin look confused.
Li Shimin, who came after hearing the sound, was also a little curious and stepped forward to ask:
"What are you playing? Are you so happy?"
Seeing the emperor approaching, all the young men bowed their heads and saluted.
"Father, we are playing 'who is the undercover'!"
Li Tai said excitedly,
"It's a game taught to us by Master! One person will be the referee and question maker. He will give two similar words to everyone, and then let everyone describe the word. The undercover card is different from others."
"For example, this time, the word we got was 'Confucius', but the word Pauline got was 'Lao Tzu'. As soon as he said it, the secret was revealed, and then he had to be punished!"
Yuchi Gong: "..."
He held his forehead in shame.
Do you keep saying "I" at home all day long?
Really?
Seems to be……
It seems that Pauline can’t really be blamed...
"oh?"
After listening to the rules, Li Shimin suddenly became interested, turned to look at Xu Fenglei and said,
"This is a novel way to play, did you invent it?"
Xu Fenglei smiled and shook his head.
"It's a little game in the countryside. I've improved it a bit."
He said,
"It's a little puzzle game! The person who draws the undercover card needs to realize that he is an undercover, and he has to guess what card the 'civilian' has in his hand. Only in this way can he have the last laugh."
"Children can play, and so can adults. Even a group of highly intelligent people can play together. It's very interesting. If you become an undercover agent and win, it will still be a great sense of accomplishment."
Li Shimin's eyes lit up.
"A great game, it's fun to listen to!"
He continued,
"Shall we have a go?"
Xu Fenglei: "..."
Aren't you so anxious to go back and see Li Yuan?
Now that you see the game, you can’t walk? You are such a filial son!
"His Majesty."
Changsun Wugou frowned and said,
"Stop having fun. If you don't rush back, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with my father for lunch."
"He won't be happy."
Li Shimin curled his lips and nodded reluctantly.
"Okay."
He said,
"I actually don't know how to get along with my father. Although I am polite now, I still feel uncomfortable."
"This is another stressful lunch. Alas... I don't know when I can really break the ice with my father."
"Go get the children."
Changsun Wugou was silent for a moment and nodded.
At her beckoning call, although the emperor's heirs were a little unhappy, they still obediently dispersed and gathered around Li Shimin.
"Actually, Your Majesty can change his mind."
Xu Fenglei suddenly said,
"If the relationship can't be eased by talking, maybe it's a good idea to use games to break it in."
"You can take your children to play the game 'Who is the undercover' with the Emperor? Everyone will have a laugh and make the Emperor happy and happy."
"When the time comes, if you say some thoughtful words, I can't say for sure, but I'm at least 80% sure that the relationship between you two will ease."
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. If you get this started, the rest will be easier."
His words made Li Shimin look up suddenly, a light flashing in his eyes.
"Wonderful! Listen clearly..."
He patted his head and continued,
"Yes, absolutely right!"
"Why didn't I think of this? You reminded me, you reminded me!"
"Take the children to play games with your father. Maid Guanyin, come too. Let's have a good time as a family!"
"Listen, do you have any other games? Tell me all of them! I'm afraid one is not enough!"
Xu Fenglei: "..."
"Ahem, of course there is."
He said a little embarrassed,
"For example, Landlords, Three Kingdoms, Golden Flower, Mahjong, etc... There are many ways to play, but you just need to make a set of tools."
"Some of the ministers have also taught Qingque and the others. Just let the children play with the Supreme Emperor. It will be no problem for them to play for a day or two!"
"If that's not enough, I'll give you some advice..."
