Chang'an, Hongyi Palace.
This was Li Shimin's dormitory, where he planned the Xuanwumen rebellion.
Now, it has been given to the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan to live in, and it has been renamed "Da'an Palace".
Da da.
Li Shimin got off the dragon chariot and walked into Da'an Palace hand in hand with his eldest grandson Wugou.
Behind him, all the emperor's heirs accompanied him.
"This palace is really a bit crude."
Changsun Wugou said softly,
"When we lived here, it was very rough. Some places were in disrepair. You refused to spend money to repair them. You always said that the money was not enough..."
Li Shimin smiled sarcastically.
"In those days, all money had to be spent wisely."
He responded with some embarrassment.
After fighting for so many years, it would be false to say that we have no money.
But Li Er’s money was all used to win people’s hearts and maintain relationships!
Especially in Chang'an, the various relationship networks established in just two years were all built with money!
Repair the palace?
Fix it! Wouldn't it be better to just study and become the master of Liangyi Palace in Taiji Palace?
"what about now?"
Changsun Wugou looked at Li Shimin, frowned and said,
"Now that my father lives here, you must have some money to repair it, right?"
"Isn't this also a way to show your filial piety to the world?"
Li Shimin curled his lips.
"I had this idea before, but the treasury is so empty..."
He spread his hands and said,
"You heard it just now. This year we have to prepare for shortages and contact Tuli Khan. Where will we get the money to build the palace for my father? I only mentioned it last time, but it was dismissed by Xu Fenglei, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. The rebuttal was bloody!"
"As the queen of the mother-in-law world, please tell me. Should this small amount of money be used for the court and the people, or for the renovation of the palace for my father? What do you think..."
Changsun Wugou: "..."
"That's all, I won't say anything anymore."
She waved her hands and said,
"I just mentioned it casually. You have your own considerations. Just do what you think. My harem will not interfere in politics."
"Father...you probably need to be more attentive."
Li Shimin smiled slightly.
"I have a solution."
He waved to Li Tai behind him and asked with a smile,
"Qingque."
"Of the games your master taught you, which one do you think is the most fun?"
Hearing this, Li Tai thought seriously for a while.
"That depends on whether you want to gamble or not." He pinched his double chin and said.
Li Shimin: "???"
Damn it, this brat taught you to gamble, right?
It’s also educational and entertaining. Damn it...I believed your evil deeds!
"Tell me everything..."
he asked with a dark face.
"For those who gamble, fried golden flowers are the most interesting and exciting!"
Li Tai responded excitedly,
"The game is all about heartbeat. If you win, you will get a lot of money. If you lose, you will lose everything!"
Li Shimin: "@#￥%...&@!!!"
He suddenly regretted letting Xu Fenglei coach him. What did this kid teach him secretly?
"The most fun thing about this Golden Flower is that you can win good cards even with bad cards. According to Master, it all depends on acting skills and courage. Fraud is the essence!"
Li Ke interrupted and said,
"Haier used his acting skills to defraud them of several decks of cards several times. In fact, their cards were better than Haier's, but they were intimidated by Haier's momentum and didn't dare to follow. Haier naturally took them all."
"Master said that as an heir to the emperor, acting skills and courage are compulsory courses, so he taught us to have fun, but there is a limit set every time, and we don't play with huge amounts."
"The child thought, maybe this is educational and entertaining."
Li Shimin: "..."
"Okay, okay, I can barely accept it..."
He said helplessly,
"What about those who don't gamble? Which one is the most fun?"
"Three Kingdoms Kill!" several children said in unison.
…
Da'an Palace, next to the pond in the backyard.
Li Yuan was wearing a fox fur coat and was sitting by the pond fishing.
A look into his bucket revealed that the result of the morning was the Air Force.
"His Majesty the Emperor."
The maid on the side was shivering from the cold and whispered,
"Your Majesty and the Queen are here to wish you happy new year. They are waiting in the front hall."
Wow.
The fishing rod in Li Yuan's hand moved slightly.
But his eyes were still half-open, and his figure was motionless, as if he were a sculpture.
"His Majesty the Emperor?"
The maid thought he didn't hear, so she reminded him again.
"...I understand."
Li Yuan's hoarse voice came, and all he could hear was his calm voice,
"When I catch the fish, I will go see them."
"Don't disturb my mood now."
When the slave heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
'this……'
She looked hesitant, and while she was hesitating, footsteps suddenly came from behind her.
Turning around, he saw the emperor and empress walking over, leading a group of princes and princesses.
"Slave, please see Your Majesty!"
The maids around him quickly saluted.
But Li Yuan didn't look back, still holding the fishing rod in his hand and staring at the lake.
Li Shimin raised his hand to signal the slaves to leave without courtesy.
At the same time, he slowly stepped forward and walked behind Li Yuan.
Without saying anything, the father and son were fishing while the other just watched. This look, if observed by others, would be quite peaceful and harmonious.
But in Changsun Wugou's eyes, it looked awkward.
"Queen mother..."
Li Lizhi whispered,
"What are Father and Grandpa Huang doing? Why aren't they talking?"
Changsun Wugou pursed his lips, put his hand on Li Lizhi's shoulders, shook his head, and said softly:
"The Queen Mother doesn't know either. Maybe she is waiting for the fish to take the bait?"
Just as he was talking, a sudden change occurred!
But there were ripples on the calm lake surface, and even the fishing rod in Li Yuan's hand twitched.
"Father, fish!"
Li Shimin quickly reminded,
"There's fish!"
"Uh...ah?" Li Yuan didn't react for a moment.
After a few seconds, he finally came to his senses. When he saw the movement on the lake, his eyes widened suddenly. He was about to pull the pole, but he realized that his hands were already frozen and he couldn't use any strength at all!
For a moment, he was also a little impatient.
It was winter, and he had been fishing all morning, and finally there was some movement. He didn't want the fish that took the bait to run away!
But his arms were stiff and he couldn't use any strength. Even though he gritted his teeth, he couldn't pull the pole up.
One person and one fish, but here a tug-of-war started, and the game started!
Perhaps realizing that they were facing a life-and-death crisis, the big fish in the lake struggled desperately and splashed out layers of water!
"Father, the fish is going to run away!"
Li Shimin exclaimed, and suddenly his mind felt hot. He took off his coat and jumped into the frozen pool!
"His Majesty!"
The slaves beside him all exclaimed in surprise.
"Two Phoenix!!!"
When Changsun Wugou saw this scene, he was almost frightened out of his wits and said hurriedly,
"Your Majesty has fallen into the water, go and save him, go and save him!"
"Ouch! This..."
She really didn't expect that Li Shimin could actually do diving!
What's going on in this winter!
