Yuhua Mountain, a place in the mountains and forests.
The giant trees shaded the scorching sun, and the gurgling stream brought coolness.
On the grass beside the stream, a few wisps of green smoke floated.
Li Yuan held the cards in his hand, took a long puff of cigarette, and shouted:
"Ancient ingot knife, wine, kill!"
"If you dare to invade our territory of Great Wu, you will never come back! Hum hum..."
Li Shimin's face was covered with black lines.
"Xu Sheng in this world is too outrageous. He killed me right after the game started. What's the point of playing?"
He threw down his cards and shouted,
"There is no technical content at all! I suggest deleting this hero!"
Such a supermodel!
Speaking of which, in the original version of "Three Kingdoms", there was no such thing as Xu Shengshen Zhuge, there were only those generals from the first generation, but Li Yuan couldn't bear to play them too often, and he got tired of playing them after a while.
There was no other way, Xu Fenglei could only rack his brains and add all the characters he could think of to increase the playability of the game.
In this way, Jie Xusheng, who is the 'Dabao', is naturally among them.
"Hey, Erlang, don't be a loser."
Li Yuan put away his gambling money with satisfaction and said with a smile,
"I think Xu Sheng in this world is very interesting, and it's very refreshing to kill!"
"Come on, come on, come on!"
He shouted, and beside him were a few attendants and the queen's eldest grandson, Wu Guanma Liu.
"Grandfather the emperor, the emperor father, the queen mother!"
Li Lizhi ran over with her bare feet and a big watermelon in her arms.
"Eat cold melon!"
"It's been washing in the stream for half an hour, and now I can chew it to relieve the heat!"
When Li Yuan heard this, he immediately smiled.
"Okay, okay, come on, come on..."
He waved to Li Lizhi and Zhao Yun, and said with a loving face,
"My good grandson is just a good boy. He even knows how to dip cold melons for grandpa."
"Come on, divide this up!"
"Yes." The waiter on the side took the watermelon and sent it to the chef not far away.
With a few swipes of the knife, the huge watermelon was divided into eight flat petals, revealing the bright red flesh.
"The melon flavor is very strong!"
Li Shimin praised and said,
"Father, please use it."
"Use them all. We are here to escape the summer heat, so there is no need to be restrained." Li Yuan waved his hand, stuffed the piece in Li Lizhi's hand, and said with a smile, "My dear Sun Lizhi, eat first! Hahaha..."
"Thank you, Grandpa Huang!"
Li Lizhi responded sweetly, and started chewing without being polite.
Li Yuan and the Empress also opened their mouths and took a bite.
"Um!"
Changsun Wujia chewed it twice and praised,
"It's so sweet, and it's also cold. It tastes better than iced cold melon!"
Li Shimin smiled.
"That's natural."
He said,
"The ice in the cellar is dead ice; but the water in the stream here is living water. How can they be the same?"
"Only when you feel nature in the mountains and forests can you feel great freedom and freedom!"
On this Yuhua Mountain, temporarily abandon government affairs, abandon the identity of the emperor, and abandon all worries, just for the relaxation and pleasure of body and mind.
This feeling is really intoxicating.
At this moment, Li Shimin even wanted to stay here forever and no longer be fettered by the world!
"Li Zhi, where are your brother and the others?"
Changsun Wugou knew that he had a weak spleen, so he put down the watermelon after only two bites, and turned to Li Li who was enjoying the meal and asked,
"He disappeared as soon as he arrived. He didn't even come to eat."
"Isn't that kid Qing Que the most fond of eating cold melons?"
Li Lizhi raised her head slightly and shook her head.
"I don't know, they went into the mountains to hunt."
She responded,
"They said they were going to hunt a deer for the emperor and his father and mother to have a picnic, but I think they were bragging... It would be good if they didn't get knocked down by the deer!"
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wugou couldn't help but show a trace of worry in his eyes.
"How dare they venture into this... these barren mountains and ridges alone?"
She looked at Li Shimin and said,
"Er Feng, it's better to find someone to bring them back. I'm afraid there will be danger."
Although there are no ferocious beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards in Yuhua Mountain, wild boars, deer and other wild beasts still exist.
If the wild boar gets mad, it's not something two and a half-year-old children can handle!
"Hey, it's okay."
Li Shimin waved his hand nonchalantly and said,
"When I was as old as them, I would have run all over the mountains and plains. Not to mention deer, I even killed several jackals!"
"These children are better than the hands of the women in the palace. They are more than gentle and gentle, but not wild enough... Now that they have a rare opportunity, let them release their nature! It won't be in the way!"
"Besides, Qing Que, the fat guy, should also take some exercise. I see him panting when he walks..."
After hearing this, Changsun Wugou nodded.
"All right."
She handed the watermelon in her hand to Li Shimin and said,
"You go ahead and eat it. I won't. I heard Ming say that it's not good for me to eat these extremely cold things. It will hurt my vitality."
Li Shimin glanced slightly sideways.
"It's a rare occasion, so there's nothing wrong with being indulgent..."
"No." Changsun Wugou said with firm eyes, "I want to live a few more years and see you and my children more."
Li Shimin: "..."
"Okay, okay, why are you talking about this?"
He took the half-drawn watermelon and muttered,
"Just take care of your health... You see, I don't even dare to touch you now for your health."
"I hope that boy's method will work and you will live to be eighty-eight and become the Holy Mother and Queen Mother of the Tang Dynasty... Speaking of which, that boy has been in charge of the state prison recently. I don't know how he is doing."
In Li Shimin's heart, he hoped that his eldest grandson Wugou would live longer than himself.
Throughout the dynasties, there have been too many examples of emperors who were wise and sage, but who later had problems with their descendants. Therefore, having a wise queen mother is extremely important to the dynasty.
He hoped that after his death, his eldest grandson Wugou would still be able to protect his descendants and the Tang Dynasty.
"What are you talking about..."
Changsun Wugu rolled his eyes at him and was about to scold him when he heard the sound of horse hoofbeats.
"His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please see the court briefings that you will receive every three days."
The black-helmeted cavalryman looked solemn. He dismounted fifty steps away from Li Shimin, trotted up, and respectfully presented the letter in his hand.
"Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here."
Li Shimin smiled and wiped his mouth, took the briefing from the black-helmeted cavalry, and ordered,
"Go down."
"Take a few people and go to the mountains and forests to look for the prince and the king of Wei. If they are hunting, protect them secretly and don't let them be hurt by wild beasts."
"Yes!" The black-helmeted cavalry responded respectfully, turned and left.
Li Yuan looked at his back, thoughtfully.
"Erlang, what type of armor is this? It seems that the Tang Dynasty did not have cavalry equipped with black helmets and black armor, right?"
He asked casually,
"The Black Armor Army... doesn't seem to be dressed like this, right?"
The Xuanjia Army was also in black armor, but they were heavily armored soldiers. The man in front of them was obviously a light cavalry.
"Hey, this..."
Li Shimin opened the envelope and said casually,
"Some are from the Xuanjia Army, and some are not. They are all my confidants, my ears and eyes. They are loyal and have absolutely no two hearts!"
Li Yuan's heart was trembling, and he even slowed down his eating speed as he stared at the black-helmeted cavalry riding away.
Eyes and ears, confidants?
When the Xuanwu Gate Revolution was launched, these were the people who infiltrated Chang'an City into a sieve, right?
"Damn it!"
Li Yuan was just thinking when he heard a curse word coming from the side.
But Li Shimin immediately cursed and said:
"This Xu Fenglei is really unreliable!"
"You just worked for a day, held a court meeting, and then you stopped working? You sleep in your own house every day!"
"He doesn't approve the memorials, and he doesn't cover the jade seals. How can he supervise the country like this?"
Changsun Wugou came over and took a look.
"Hmm...actually it's not bad."
She said,
"Fang Xuanling has done all the memorial work on his behalf, so there won't be any mistakes."
"Listen to this guy... he's used to being idle. If you insist on making him work, he will definitely take it easy."
Li Shimin glared.
"You still speak for him?"
He said angrily,
"This is no longer taking a break, this is being a complete idler!"
"Hey! Why did I ask him to supervise the country? What a failure, a failure!"
I could have imagined that Xu Fenglei would be lazy, but I didn't expect that he would be so lazy!
If he doesn't even want to do the most basic and simple things like marking and sealing, what else can he do?
Li Yuan was nearby and when he heard what Li Shimin said, he said:
"It doesn't matter. Since he doesn't want to do anything, you can just issue an imperial edict and replace him with someone to supervise the country."
Li Shimin's expression moved slightly.
"Father, what you said is wrong. Changing commanders before battle is a taboo for military strategists."
He said calmly,
"Although Xu Fenglei is lazy, the imperial court is running normally. It can be considered... rule by inaction!"
The eldest grandson Wugou chuckled.
These two phoenixes were criticizing Xu Fenglei just now, but as soon as their father made a suggestion, they immediately made up for it.
Treat it by doing nothing... but you will be able to come back to perfection!
Li Shimin glanced at her, obviously unhappy——
Still laughing! Destroying trouble, right?
"Your Majesty is right."
Changsun Wugou quickly stopped his smile and said seriously,
"Judging from this briefing, Xu Fenglei is still very well-behaved."
"Look - the chamberlain arranged a seat for him in the Liangyi Hall, but he took it away and stood facing the ministers."
"Your Majesty is not here, and the Supervisor is in charge of the power. If it were another minister, he might just sit up and enjoy the worship of the ministers, but he is very clear-headed and does not sit down or be worshiped."
"Not greedy for power and abiding by his duties, this is his greatest advantage, and it is also the reason why Your Majesty can rest assured to let him supervise the country."
Li Shimin nodded repeatedly.
"Yep."
He praised,
"Xu Fenglei, if nothing else, he really knows this."
"So, sometimes he does ridiculous things, and I won't blame him."
"Everyone has flaws, so it's fine if you don't lose anything...Father, don't you think so?"
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
"you're right."
He responded,
"If every minister can abide by his duty like Xu Fenglei and never overstep his bounds, then our Li Tang Dynasty will be able to last for thousands of years."
Li Shimin's face froze.
Why does it sound like my father's words are meant to stab me?
"Come on, come on, keep playing cards!"
Before Li Er could think about it, Li Yuan waved his hand and said,
"I won't play Jie Xu Sheng this time, I can still kill you all!"
"Just watch!"
…
Swish, swish.
Farmers are working hard in the fields under the scorching sun.
Every few breaths, he would stop and wipe the sweat from his forehead, otherwise the sweat would blind his eyes.
These are the hottest days of the year, but the common people cannot eat watermelon and play cards in the mountains and forests like the emperor did.
They want to take advantage of the long summer days to do more work.
Xu Fenglei stood beside the field and chanted softly:
"My feet are steaming with rustic heat, and my back is burning with the light of the sky."
“I’m exhausted and don’t know how hot it is, but it’s a pity that the summer is long.”
"Farmers... are just like old scalpers. They are diligent and diligent. They may not be able to have enough to eat at the end of the year. Allowing them to eat three hot meals every day is the foundation for the long-term stability of the country..."
As a prisoner of the country, although he became what Li Shimin called a "big idler", Xu Fenglei could not really stay in the house and sleep every day.
In his position, he seeks his government.
Of course he has to do things, but not above the court, which is a high place. If he stays there, he will only be drowned by the snow of memorials, which is of no use.
Let the memorial drown Fang Xuanling! What Xu Fenglei is more willing to do is to conduct grassroots research and listen to the voices of the people at the bottom.
Their individual voices may be insignificant, but when the people at the bottom of the world join together, they must be the strongest voice, the kind that can overthrow a dynasty!
Ahead, an old farmer, perhaps tired from his work, threw down his hoe, hunched over and walked under a tree to enjoy the cool air.
Xu Fenglei walked up slowly and said hello.
"Hey, old man."
He smiled and said,
"Tired?"
"Yeah." The old farmer responded in a muffled voice, his throat twitching hard, but no saliva came down.
He frowned and cursed:
"Grandma, I forgot to bring water! We still have the whole afternoon, why can't we stay still!"
Xu Fenglei smiled, took off the gourd from his waist, and handed it over.
"See how thirsty you are, give it."
He said,
"Open it and drink."
The old farmer took the gourd and smiled immediately, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes bloomed like chrysanthemums.
"Hey, you're a nice guy!"
He smiled brightly, opened the cork, raised the gourd, but did not drink directly from his mouth. Instead, he poured the water into his mouth from a short distance away.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, the old man's originally dark and red face also faded slightly.
"Hu-Shutan!"
He narrowed his eyes with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Old man, let me ask you a question."
Xu Fenglei said with a smile.
"Hey, you ask, you ask." The old man lay under the tree, crossed his legs, and said casually, "As long as the old man knows, I will tell you, don't underestimate me, I have lived a long life, this My beard doesn’t grow in vain!”
He said, pointing proudly to his half-beard.
"well."
Xu Fenglei nodded and asked,
"Old man, let me ask you, are you happy?"
The old man was stunned.
"My surname is Fu? My surname is not Fu. The old man's surname is Zhang, and his bow is Zhang. You know that, right?"
he responded.
Xu Fenglei smiled helplessly.
"I'm not asking you what your last name is, but...are you happy? That means, do you think your life is happy and are you satisfied with your current life?"
He explained patiently and said,
"That's what I mean..."
When the old man heard this, he immediately glared.
"Happy? Satisfied? Happy and satisfied with his grandma's legs!"
He said angrily,
"Young man, please let the old man squint for a while, and don't bother me. I don't have time to argue with you!"
