Under the gag of the conspicuous Bao Li Kuan, the atmosphere of Tai Chi Hall returned to a more relaxed atmosphere.
After all, with a naughty kid like Li Kuan who interacts with people everywhere as if he was born to be familiar with them, no one is in the mood to talk about heavy topics. Besides, there may not be any results.
"Uncle Fang, please try this." Li Kuan carried the food box and placed a plate of fried large yellow croaker on Fang Xuanling's desk.
"I thank His Highness the Second Prince," Fang Xuanling had really complicated feelings towards the "big brother" of her youngest son in front of her.
According to Fang Yiai, his omnipotent "beheaded the chicken (the chickens of the Fang family are mainly like this), burned incense paper, and could not drink blood wine because of fear of pain to sworn brother", just like the Three Kingdoms The period-enhanced version of Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.
Of course, children, after listening to many romances, feel that sworn friendship is something worth showing off.
As everyone knows, in the plum garden of Qujiangchi, Li Kuan led a dozen people of all sizes to play a sworn game under the plum blossom tree, which really frightened many people afterwards.
Li Huairen's father, Li Xiaogong, was angry, anxious and angry when he learned that his son was sworn in like three sticks of incense in front of Wagang Village, and the leader was the prince.
After beating his son until he couldn't get off the ground, he hurried into the palace and specifically apologized to Li Er for this.
As a result, his expression of loyalty was not countered by Li Er's understatement, "It's just a kid playing house."
Yes, even though these dandies are all top nobles from the Tang Dynasty, Li Er doesn't care.
Li Er, who felt he was indebted to his son, chose to let Li Kuan do whatever he wanted.
Because of this, after this incident, many ministers in the court began to look at Li Kuan, the second prince who acted erratically, with a different look.
The meaning of this is self-evident.
But Li Kuan never paid attention to the petty thoughts of others.
"Return! Uncle Fang, what's there to thank you for?" Faced with Fang Xuanling's politeness, Li Kuan waved his hands angrily and said carelessly: "I often lead my friends to your house to steal... You and your aunt never cared about catching chickens to eat, Uncle Fang is so righteous!"
Fang Xuanling looked at the half-grown child in front of her. No matter how well-educated this famous official who was good at strategizing was, he still had the urge to overturn the table.
What do you mean by being nice and cheap, you really gave me a vivid moment.
"In the spring of next year, I will ask my servants to buy more chicks, but this year..." Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly: "I also pointed to the only big rooster in the house that wakes me up every day for morning service, so I want to invite two The prince will show mercy."
"It's easy to talk about." Li Kuan, a conspicuous person, didn't realize that his old father Li Er's face was completely lost at this moment. This guy was still arrogant and assured Fang Xuanling: "My uncle's family has raised a lot of money." There are few chickens, ducks, geese, and cattle and sheep. I will go to my uncle’s house in the second half of this year!”
Fang Xuanling glanced with satisfaction at Li Er, who was so angry that his eyes were dizzy, and started to eat without answering Li Kuan's words.
Changsun Wuji, who originally wanted to rescue his nephew, saw that he was already on the fire bed, but he did not forget to promise that he would turn the target of the disaster to his own uncle.
His original desire to lick a baby disappeared without a trace.
"You're such a bastard..." Changsun Wuji looked at Li Kuan who came to him and offered him a bowl, no, half a bowl of soy sauce beef, in exchange for the food source for him and the sages in the second half of the year. Changsun Wuji was the third Once I had the urge to doubt my life.
Your Majesty and your sister are both dignified people, and both husband and wife come from aristocratic families. No matter how you look at it, it’s not inappropriate...
Could it really be said that "a dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of whom is different?" Or is it true that "an orange gives birth to Huaibei?"
Changsun Wuji looked at Li Kuan who had left him and walked to Du Ruhui's desk, offering him a plate of refreshing side dishes. He fell into deep thought for a moment.
"Uncle Du, I heard that Du He said that you have been ill recently and should not eat meat, so don't think that my nephew is stingy and reluctant to give you meat." Li Kuan, relying on his young age, has always been straightforward. Say it, never hide it.
"Your Highness is interested." Du Ruhui didn't think much of Li Kuan. His attitude towards Li Kuan was the wisest: he would not take the initiative to get close to him, nor would he deliberately distance himself.
When Li Shimin watched his son being polite to his close ministers, but still ignored his old father, his anger could be said to be "a rush of energy, then weakened and exhausted again and again."
——Li Er has been fooled by Li Kuan’s unconventional tricks. At this time, he can only try his best to ignore his son. This neglected old father can only look after himself. Drinking and sulking.
When Li Kuan came to Niu Jinda, who remained silent and looked miserable, his expression became more solemn than ever.
Li Kuan, who has the memory of later generations, naturally knows the life experience of the old general in front of him, and he also knows how noble his character is. Moreover, Li Kuan also got a general idea of the previous conversation between their monarch and his ministers.
Locust plague in Guanzhong?
Li Kuan, who had always remembered the "three-year agreement" between Li Er and a certain prairie dance king, only now recalled this horrific natural disaster in the early days of Zhenguan.
This is Niu Jinda's idea that the tragedy of the past cannot be allowed to happen again, and Li Kuan naturally agrees with this.
Li Kuan placed a bowl of carved rice in front of Niu Jinda. Looking at Niu Jinda who was reluctant to move his chopsticks, Li Kuan comforted him and said: "Uncle Niu, even if you are worried about national affairs, you must cherish yourself and serve the country and the people." The premise is to maintain a useful body. You are a general galloping on the battlefield. Starving yourself to the point of losing strength is a dereliction of duty as a military general and a loss for the country. According to my nephew, you might as well go first Eat enough, wait until you have the strength, then think of a solution, and then do things. This is the right way to solve the problem..."
"Wow..."
Li Er's chopsticks fell to the ground.
Changsun Wuji, who loved beef and was devouring it, opened his mouth wide without caring about his image.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also changed their gazes towards Li Kuan at this time.
Is this the pillar in my house?
Li Er, who never believed in ghosts and gods, always felt that his son might have been taken away.
"Your Highness..." Niu Jinda, who had spent half his life in the military, after hearing Li Kuan's heartfelt words, the veteran general also had red eyes at this time.
I just heard his voice choked with sobs: "It's not you... It's not you..." Niu Jinda choked for a while, and then he managed to speak slowly: "Your Highness, I know what it feels like to be hungry, and I also know that once a person is hungry for a long time, he will Seriously, what will happen? I just don’t want the peaceful world that I finally hoped for to be destroyed by a natural disaster again..."
As Niu Jinda spoke, two drops of turbid tears rolled down the face of the dark-faced man and fell into the bowl of carved rice in front of him.
Li Kuan looked at Niu Jinda like this and fell silent.
After a long time, Li Kuan stood up solemnly, looked at Niu Jinda and said: "Uncle Niu, regarding the locust plague, I believe that all of you uncles are here, plus..." Li Kuan turned around and glanced: "My barely wise and powerful old man. Dad, we will definitely get through this crisis safely!"
