Chapter 56
History is such a strange thing. Although he tried his best to forget what he had known before, he could not forget it anyway. Those things were as deeply rooted and troubled him.
As soon as he returned to the Wei Palace for a meal, he was about to calm down and read the book carefully, but he heard a noise outside. He was puzzled. Wang Xiaoyang rushed in and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor, the emperor is here, hurry up and follow us."
It's coming so soon? Could it be that Empress Changsun passed on his words to him? Could it be that he agreed to mobilize such a large number of troops?
"Who else?"
He asked Wang Xiaoyang while changing his clothes.
Wang Xiaoyang replied: "Who else can you? Your uncle, Fang Xuanling."
Judging from this situation, there is probably a chance. Just as he was about to go out, Li Shimin came in, holding the carrier pigeon he saw.
It was indeed given to him, and this is what is written in history books.
He was about to kneel down to salute, but he stopped him: "This is not in the court, so those etiquettes are spared. Tai'er, see what my father brought?"
As he said that, he handed him the bird cage. Li Tai took it and said, "I don't know you, Father, what kind of bird is this?"
Li Shimin raised his head and laughed: "The pigeon. This bird is very magical and can deliver letters. If the father has something to do in the future, he will let it send you a message."
"But, this should be left to the prince's brother."
"He, Taier, you always think about others, this is much better than your brother."
Better than him, why don’t he be the crown prince?
Li Tai thought to himself, and quickly handed the pigeon cage to Wang Xiaoyang, took a chair for him to sit, and greeted the two outside the door and invited them in for tea.
"Let them wait outside for a while, and the father has something important to ask you."
"How can this be done? They are all elders, important officials of the Tang Dynasty, and the weather is hot."
Seeing him insisting, Li Shimin smiled and said, "It's rare that you are so kind. Since that's the case, please invite them in."
Li Tai invited them again and told Lian'er to cut watermelon to entertain them.
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling praised the delicious watermelon, and Li Shimin was also very happy.
"Tai'er, I really have the intention. Tomorrow morning, I must ask Yuchi Gong again, what is the reason for such a good thing that is unfilial to Yu Wu, but he has sent it to you."
Changsun Wuji immediately said: "The King of Wei is kind-hearted and deeply loved the people. General Yuchi also loves the house."
"Father, Xigua was sent by his son Yuchi Baolin. He is about the same age as me, and we have become brothers of different surnames."
Li Shimin slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, this is a good thing. General Yuchi's whip is unmatched. If you can learn a half-stage move, it will be good."
Fang Xuanling said: "Wang Wei is knowledgeable and smart, and has a deep literary attainment. If he can learn martial arts, he will be perfect."
Li Tai hurriedly said modestly: "Mr. Fang is over, and King Wei is very knowledgeable. It's just a drizzle in front of all the elders."
Changsun Wuji said: "The poems written by the King of Wei recently are very aura. He knew that he was worried about the country and the people at a young age, but it made many civil officials ashamed."
This uncle should be said to be of great importance to Li Shimin's mind. If he hadn't been instigating him repeatedly, perhaps the position of the prince would have been in his position.
Every time Li Tai sees him, he is unhappy, but he always stays with Li Shimin like a dog skin plaster.
It was rare to receive praise from him, and Li Tai said with a humble look: "With the Emperor and all the adults, Li Tai must work hard. Now the Tang Dynasty is settled, the world is stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. However, without long-term plans, there must be immediate worries. I often think that the Emperor has both civil and military affairs, and has made world-renowned achievements for the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. In our generation, we must learn from others' strengths. If one day the country needs it, we can only use what we have learned throughout our lives to serve the country."
Li Shimin praised: "Well said, so well said."
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling also cast admiring eyes.
Li Tai felt a happy feeling that he had never been able to get their recognition.
He wanted to ask him if Empress Changsun had told him about his request to go out to fight against the enemy. He thought again that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, so it would be better not to ask in front of the two ministers, otherwise it would have a negative impact on Empress Changsun.
Although Changsun Wuji is his biological uncle, he is separated from his belly.
Now that his brother-in-law has become the emperor, would he not have selfish intentions? If it weren't for the purpose of covering up the court in the future, would he strongly recommend that Li Zhi, who has a cowardly personality, be the crown prince?
There was a little dismay for a while, and Li Shimin turned to ask him: "How is your diet recently? Learning is the most harmful to your mind. You must supplement your nutrition."
"Thank you for your concern, my son is overnutrition."
"You can't say that. When I was as old as you, I could eat ten steamed buns in a meal, and I still shouted about being hungry every day."
This person is really good, and he says everything in front of outsiders.
"Father, are you here just to deliver a pigeon?"
Li Tai was more eager to know if it was possible for his expedition.
Li Shimin looked at the two ministers and said, "Yes, they just made a bet with me that they didn't believe that the carrier pigeon was so powerful, so they followed him. Even if the father took it to recognize the way this time, I will write a letter to ask it to deliver it to you later. Please reply to me and verify whether it is the old horse's way."
Li Tai replied: "My son obeys the order."
Li Shimin took the lead in standing up and said to the two ministers: "Go back to the palace."
Li Tai was really tired when he sent them away. If he had to deal with these things every day, he would be so tired.
He was not as excited as they were. Carrier pigeons had long been unemployed in modern society. Modern communication tools and transportation were too developed, but in the Tang Dynasty it was the most advanced communication method.
Thinking of this, Li Haoran was a little disappointed. After all, modern society is better, and one mobile phone is the best in the world.
Not long after, he heard the pigeon calling. He looked up and saw the pigeon standing on the windowsill and looking at him, with a letter tied to his legs.
What can he write? He just left here.
I was puzzled and answered the letter. I opened it and read it. It actually read the cooking method of a famous dish. The last line is a few ordinary words: if you eat it well, you will be in good health.
He was really crazy. He was the Emperor of Heaven Khan, the eternal emperor praised by everyone.
Li Tai couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness in his heart. It would be so lucky for a son to have such a fatherly love. If he didn't have the extreme desire for power, this would undoubtedly be the happiest life.
Unfortunately, he is a reborn man. He has too many desires that have not been realized in modern times, so he has to rely on the Tang Dynasty to realize his lofty ambitions. For those who grew up in the imperial family, what else can he pursue without pursuing fame and fortune? This is the right given to him by life.
