Gu Gu Gu Gu, Gu Gu Gu...
The hot mushroom soup is boiling and escaping in the hot pot.
Li Shimin picked up a piece of meat with two chopsticks, piled it on the plate, picked up the plate and put it in his mouth.
"Oh, look at the way you eat."
Changsun Wugou said with a look of disgust,
"The children are here, can you please pay attention to your image? You are still the emperor."
"Have you heard that Ming Ming is gone and no one cares about your diet, so you started to behave randomly?"
Li Shimin slurped down a plate of meat and wiped his mouth vigorously.
"It's so happy, so happy!"
"Hahaha……"
He laughed wantonly and said,
"Guanyin Maid, I am happy today, can't you let me relax for a while?"
"When we eat hot pot, we also have Wen style and Wu style. This is the Wu way of eating just now. It's so cool!"
When the children heard this, their eyes lit up and they stood up one after another.
"I want to eat it too. It's so boring to eat it one piece at a time!"
"I want to be suffocated!"
They all followed suit, imitating their father's example, stuffing meat into their mouths and chewing as hard as they could.
"Hey hey hey!"
Changsun Wugou frowned and reprimanded,
"Don't be like your father! Eating like this will damage your stomach and intestines!"
"If you mess around again, be careful with me..."
"Hey." Li Shimin stopped her scolding, waved his hand and said with a smile, "Forget it, today is a happy day, so don't talk about so many rules. It's okay to eat and drink occasionally."
Changsun Wugou rolled his eyes and hummed:
"What are you happy about?"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.
"You don't know how big a face Ting Ming has given me this time!"
He was beaming with joy and began to talk endlessly,
"We captured Dingxiang, the Turkic base camp, without losing a single soldier. Jieli Khan was so frightened that he ran away with his tail between his legs and captured countless trophies!"
"And the move of ordering Li Ji to ambush Baidao in advance was a stroke of genius! These two moves directly defeated Jieli Khan!"
"Thinking about the way that guy Jie Li showed off his power in front of me, and then thinking about his desolate appearance running away like a mouse, I feel more comfortable than drinking iced grape wine in the summer!"
"It's so cool..."
Changsun Wugu curled his lips.
"Okay, okay, you've been nagging me since you came in. You've said this almost three times!"
She joked,
"I can almost memorize it."
"Only three times? I haven't said enough yet! I'm going to talk to him thirty times, three hundred times!"
Li Shimin took a sip of wine, his face turned a little red, he pointed to the north and said,
"When Ting Ming comes back, I will give him a promotion and establish a monument for him, so that everyone, including future generations, will remember his great achievements and remember that there was such a handsome man in the Tang Dynasty who was comparable to Wei Huo and Han Xin! "
"And such a handsome talent was discovered by me and reused by me! There is no doubt about my ability to recognize people!"
The more outstanding Xu Fenglei's military exploits were, the more remarkable his Li Er's achievements were.
Just like Wei Huo's military exploits created the image of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as a talented and strategist!
"Father, are you praising master, or are you praising yourself?"
"All right?"
"I think he is bragging through his master."
"That makes sense..."
The children's childlike words fell into Li Er's ears, making his old face a little worried.
"What are you talking about?"
Li Shimin stared at Li Chengqian and others and ordered,
"Father wants to write a letter back to your master. You, the disciples, must also write a letter to your master and tell him what you want to say to him."
"Don't be perfunctory! It's not easy for your master to fight on the front line. If he can receive your sincere letters and feel your passionate feelings, he will definitely be very happy and he will be more confident in fighting!"
"Did you hear everything?"
The children looked stern.
They missed their master a little. Without him, this deep palace compound would be very boring.
"I'm stuffed!"
Li Lizhi jumped off the dining table and shouted,
"Li Zhi misses Master, go and write now!"
Thump thump thump!
She took small steps and ran into the study next to her, studying ink and looking for paper.
"I'm full too."
"Me too."
"Father, mother, please take it easy, I'm full too."
Li Qingquan, Li Chengqian and Li Ke also put down their chopsticks and ran into the study.
Only Li Tai was still crazily stuffing things into his mouth.
"Me too...well..."
The little fat man's cheeks were bulging, and he chewed the meat in his mouth with a ferocious expression. He jumped off the stool and ran into the study.
"These guys..."
Li Shimin held his forehead and smiled helplessly,
"As soon as I mentioned writing a letter to Master, I stopped eating and even Qingque left."
"Do you miss it so much?"
His words had a bit of a sour taste.
"That's natural. You have been away fighting all year round, and occasionally come back, but you treat them very seriously. The children lack father's love and do not have a complete childhood. It is Ting Ming, the master, who gives them enough love and a happy childhood, and guides them. Help them get on the right track and thrive.”
Changsun Wugao responded,
"Just talking about Cheng Qian, I can really feel that he is much more cheerful than before, and he has also found some rare innocence."
"In their hearts, the master's status may be equal to that of your father..."
Li Shimin glanced slightly sideways, looking at the children biting their pens in the study, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
"Master, master, once a teacher, always a father."
He murmured,
"Perhaps, not on par with me, but on top of me..."
"However, why do I have the right to be jealous? Over the years, I have also known that I am not a qualified father. Indeed, only listening can make up for the shortcomings of my children..."
"Hey, don't mention this anymore."
Li Shimin withdrew his gaze and placed a piece of tender meat on Changsun Wugou's plate.
"Mr. Guanyin, please tell me, how should I write this letter?"
He looked at his wife and said seriously,
"I don't want to be like those ordinary commendation orders. It seems too emotionless."
"You have always been sensitive. Can you help me give advice? How should I write it so that it appears cordial?"
Changsun Wuguo’s eyes changed.
"It's not difficult to be friendly. It's just a matter of concise and colloquial speech, so that he can feel that you are talking to him and greeting him."
She suddenly smiled and said,
"Er Feng, do you want something spicy?"
Li Shimin was startled.
"Nauseating?"
he asked,
"What a stupid trick? Come on, teach me."
Changsun Wugou pursed his lips and smiled.
"Write it like a love letter to a lover. I'm sure he'll get goosebumps when he reads it."
She said with a smile,
"Come on, get up."
"Let's work together and give him a different commendation order."
…
Chang'an City, inside a branch of Honglu Temple Posthouse.
The Turkic man lost his mind and ate the Chang'an specialty naan cake with a sad look on his face. His mouth moved mechanically, gnawing the hard naan cake into pieces and pouring it into his stomach.
After galloping a long distance from Tieshan, he lost three horses to death before finally reaching Chang'an in three days.
But he also stayed in this deserted and dilapidated post house for three full days!
Three days!
Except for a clerk with a bad attitude who received him at first and arranged a place to live for him, no one paid any attention to him.
As a Turkic envoy with an urgent diplomatic mission, he was just ignored and forgotten by the Tang people? !
boom!
Zhi lost his mind and swallowed the last bite of naan with difficulty, and his whole body became as angry as a lion.
"I want to go out!"
He walked to the door and roared,
"I am an envoy from the Turks. I want to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. You can't do this to me!"
While roaring, he crossed the threshold!
But after taking only two steps, he was blocked by two sharp long knives.
"You can't go out."
The guard said expressionlessly.
"Then how can we get out?"
Zhi lost his mind and said angrily.
"Am I your prisoner?!"
The guard remained expressionless and responded:
"The Tang Dynasty and the Turks are at war. As an envoy of the Turks, you are a member of the enemy country. You cannot move around Chang'an at will and can only move around in the post house."
"As long as the two countries are no longer at war and you are no longer a member of the enemy country, you can leave."
Zhi lost his mind and his face turned red.
"I'm just here for this war!"
He continued,
"If you don't let me out, how can I meet the Emperor of Tang Dynasty and negotiate peace with him?"
"Brothers, as long as you let me out, I can facilitate peace talks between the two countries and turn hostility into friendship!"
"Please let me out!"
The guard glanced at him.
"I said, your superior has ordered you to be treated as an enemy country. Unless the two countries cease war, you cannot be released. This is the rule."
he said again.
"If you don't let me out, how can I promote peace talks!" Zhi lost his mind and raised his voice an octave higher!
"Only when the two countries are no longer at war can you be let out."
The guard emphasized.
Persistent loss of thinking: "@#￥%......&*@!!!"
I fuck you XX, you XXXX!
At this moment, he felt like he was going crazy!
Just when he was about to go crazy, a slightly fat figure appeared outside the inn.
"See Shangguan."
"See Shangguan."
When several post officials and guards saw the visitor, they all bowed respectfully.
At this moment, Zhi Huan Si Li also raised his head. When he saw this person's face clearly, tears were about to flow out!
"Tang Jian, Tang Jian!"
he shouted,
"It's me, I'm obsessed with thinking! I'm the Turkic envoy!"
"I want to see the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and I want to see Li Shimin! National affairs are urgent and cannot be delayed!"
The person who came was none other than Tang Jian, the minister of Honglu Temple.
But at this time, when he heard Zhi lost his mind and shouted, his expression changed.
"It seems that the lesson I gave you three years ago was not profound enough."
Tang Jian walked up to Zhi Huansi Li and snorted coldly,
"Is this my Tang Dynasty Emperor's name that you can call me directly?"
"Since the Turks are still so domineering, they should push forward again when they see my army, and chase Jieli Khan a few times to see if you still dare to be brave."
Persistence and loss of thinking; "!!!"
"I, I, I... I made a mistake, I made a mistake."
He was startled and hurriedly gave in and said,
"It's His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"
"I am a barbarian and don't know etiquette. Please don't blame me. Don't blame me."
Three years ago, even in front of Li Shimin, he had been stubborn for a long time.
But this time, he was just facing Tang Jian, but he gave up quickly.
Things are different now...
"hehe."
Tang Jian rubbed his hands and said calmly,
"Is it enough to admit your mistake verbally? Although the Turks are a country of barbarians, there seems to be a clearer distinction between superiority and inferiority, right?"
"How can you punish a lowly person for calling him by his first name? I don't understand the Turkic rules very well. Could you please explain it to us?"
Zhi lost his mind and his face froze.
"The humble person who calls the venerable by his name should be slapped thirty times and beaten twenty times."
He responded with some difficulty.
"oh--"
Tang Jian suddenly realized it and said with a smile,
"So, please?"
"This, I..." Zhi lost his thoughts and showed an embarrassing expression like constipation.
Tang Jian touched his chin.
"It seems that you are not in a hurry. It's just that I came early."
He waved his hand and said,
"That's alright, farewell!"
After that, he turned around and left.
"No, no, no!"
Zhi lost his mind and quickly grabbed him and said anxiously,
"I made a mistake and should punish myself, punish myself!"
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
The crisp sound of slaps could be heard endlessly.
There is no doubt that he has lost his mind. He really pushed hard on his face! After being slapped for thirty times, half of my face was swollen and my mouth was almost cracked.
I don’t know if there is any element of self-mutilation out of regret.
"Get a whip."
Tang Jian ordered,
"Ah? This..."
Zhi lost his mind and was startled, feeling extremely unwilling in his heart.
He originally thought that thirty slaps would be enough, which would be regarded as receiving this killing blow.
But who knew that Tang Jian would not be satisfied yet!
"Since it's punishment, it's natural to have to do it in full."
Tang Jian took the whip from the guard and said with a smile,
"Otherwise, it will insult the majesty of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
Snapped!
The whip hit Zhi Husili's butt hard, making a clearer sound than the slap just now.
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
"Hoo, ho..."
Tang Jian was twitched seven or eight times, panting a little, and then said to the guard beside him,
"Come on, come on for me."
"Turks have rough skin and thick flesh, so don't show mercy. Just use all your energy to feed them."
The guard smiled honestly and nodded.
Snapped! !
"ah!!!"
Zhi lost his mind and screamed loudly.
This force is more than three times greater than before!
At this moment, he was extremely resentful. Why did he shout out the three words "Li Shimin" just now?
Hate it!
After a period of miserable screams, the guard finally closed his whip, scratched his head and said:
"Shangguan, I accidentally slapped you a few times because of my humble position. Is it okay?"
Tang Jian laughed.
"It's not a problem, it's not a problem, just give him a few more strokes!"
He patted the guard on the shoulder and said happily,
"You're a very ruthless kid. Yes, I will have the opportunity to transfer you to the Criminal Department in the future!"
The guard chuckled.
Zhi lost his thoughts and his expression was even uglier than crying.
He already felt that the ripped buttocks were no longer his.
"If you lose your ability to think, this is your punishment."
Tang Jian stopped his smile, looked at the Turks in front of him, put his hands behind his back and said,
"Are you convinced?"
