In early September, Li Zhiyun arrived in Chang'an. He didn't have time to change clothes and went directly to Wude Palace to meet Li Yuan.
When Lao Li met, without saying a word, he first asked Wen Daya, the minister of Huangmen, to read out the imperial edict of commendation, Shannan Road Daxingtai Shangshuling, Liangzhou General Manager, and numerous rewards of gold, silver and jade. Along with Du Ruhui, Xue Yuanjing, Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang, etc.
Everyone also has other awards.
After some words of praise, Lao Li got to the point.
"Zhiyun, Xue Ju is wreaking havoc in Jingzhou, do you have any strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
"Father, I think that the King of Qin's strategy is correct. Xue Ju is advancing alone, and there must be problems with his logistics. As long as we can curb his momentum and trap him in Jingzhou, we will be able to annihilate him in one fell swoop. I think that,
You can pull it."
Lao Li asked: "How to pull?"
You pull it on the court, you pull it off the court. It’s just a joke.
"Strong walls clear the wilderness."
Qin King Li Shimin thought very much about this, and his little brother coincided with his idea.
Prime Minister Pei Ji also agreed, "Your Majesty, I think what the King of Chu said is reasonable. Liu Wenjing's previous strategy of underestimating the enemy's aggressive advance is definitely not advisable."
At this time, Pei Ji did not forget to give Liu Wenjing a touch-up.
There is no way, if there are three friends, two of them will squeeze out one of them. Lao Li has a good relationship with Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing, but Lao Li is the emperor, so Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing are destined to compete for favor.
Dou Wei and Dugu Zhen seemed to be pretending to be asleep, but in fact they were watching with cold eyes. The previous defeat in Jingzhou was entirely due to Li Yuanji's carelessness in underestimating the enemy, but Lao Li insisted on protecting his son, which made them feel very uncomfortable. Therefore, this time Wudedian
They are not very interested in discussing matters.
If Li Yuan really couldn't defeat Xue Ju, they wouldn't mind 'helping' Li Yuan, of course, provided that their men were allowed to lead the army to the expedition.
Prince Li Jiancheng also agreed at this time, because there was nothing to say. The King of Qin had already formulated a strategic plan. He only waited for the King of Chu to come back, and then went out to fight. Besides, Liu Wenjing and Li Yuanji were defeated previously, which made Lao Li very angry. He now
If you sing the opposite tune, it will be obvious that Lao Li will scold you for not understanding the general situation.
Therefore, in about half an hour, the inter-Korean meeting was declared over.
As soon as Fang left Wude Palace, the Crown Prince and King Qin called to Li Zhiyun at the same time.
The scene was slightly awkward, as if a man and two men grabbed the woman at the same time and were about to confess their feelings.
"What's the matter with my second brother?" Li Jiancheng asked.
Li Shimin said: "Brother, I want to discuss with Zhiyun about sending troops."
This excuse was so strong that Li Jiancheng was speechless for a while.
But Li Yuanji said: "This time, I am also going out with the army to perform meritorious service. Can you let me sit in and listen to the teachings of King Qin?"
Li Zhiyun secretly cursed, "Good guy, Li Yuanji is so good at yin and yang."
Indeed, Li Shimin was so disgusted by Li Yuanji that his face suddenly became confused. He had no intention of talking nonsense to Li Yuanji.
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun smiled bitterly and said: "Three brothers, the younger brother has just come back and hasn't paid his respects to his mother and concubine yet. Can we meet again the next day?"
"That's fine, I will wait for Zhiyun at the mansion tomorrow." Li Shimin patted his shoulder, said goodbye to the prince, and walked away without leaving Li Yuanji.
Not far away, Dugu Zhen and Dou Wei had a panoramic view of this scene.
"It's like yesterday happened again." Dugu Zhen sighed.
Dou Wei nodded and stroked his beard, "It has been impossible to avoid in all dynasties, but I didn't expect that we would see each other twice in our lifetime."
"So what does Brother Dugu think of the situation this time?"
"Hey, the world is not unified yet, so it would be unwise to fight among ourselves."
"rational."
The Wan family was highly respected by Li Yuan, and after ascending the throne, she was named a noble concubine, taking charge of everything in the Six Palaces, and was equivalent to a queen.
However, Lao Li had no intention of making him a queen, so there was no queen in the Tang Palace.
Since Li Zhiyun said he wanted to pay his respects to Concubine Wan Gui, he naturally could not break his promise. After bidding farewell to Li Jiancheng, he went straight to the harem.
He is a prince and can enter the palace to meet his mother and concubine at any time.
When mother and son met, they naturally exchanged pleasantries.
Wan said: "Son, my mother asked Princess Qin to help you arrange your marriage some time ago. If you have time, you should go to Prince Qin's Mansion to express your gratitude in person."
Second sister-in-law?
Thinking of that plump figure and the aura of a mature young woman, Li Zhiyun felt a little itchy.
"What Aniang said is that the child will go tomorrow."
Later, Mrs. Wan couldn't help but talk about her younger brother Wan Xuandao, and then told Li Zhiyun about the troubles in the harem.
It's just a matter of how many beauties Lao Li has taken in, how many concubines in the harem are jealous, or who is pregnant.
Although Lao Li is getting older, his ability to sow seeds has not diminished. Many women's stomachs will react when he has a party. Li Zhiyun estimates that he will have many more brothers next year.
Seeing that her son was busy with work, Mr. Wan did not stay long and asked Li Zhiyun to return home to rest as soon as possible.
Just after leaving the palace, Li Zhiyun met Zhang Jieyu who came to pay his respects. This woman, Old Li, had just entered the harem not long ago, but her charming appearance, figure, and the patterns on the bed made Old Li fascinated and unable to control himself. She had a tendency to dote on her.
.
"Meet His Highness the King of Chu." The charming Zhang Jieyu greeted softly.
Tsk, I have to say that there is nothing wrong with Lao Li's vision. Zhang Jieyu is indeed a great beauty, especially her charming face. She is indeed a woman who can leave a mark in history books.
He couldn't help but think to himself that if Miss Yin hadn't followed him, she might be Concubine Yin De next to Lao Li now.
"I've met Zhang Jieyu."
"Your Highness, are you here to pay your respects to the Imperial Concubine?"
"yes."
Zhang Jieyu took two steps forward, and the fragrance went straight into Li Zhiyun's nostrils. She said softly: "Your Highness is working hard on an expedition, so you should pay more attention to your health."
"Thank you Zhang Jieyu for your concern, Zhiyun saved me." Li Zhiyun took half a step back without moving his expression and said goodbye.
Although this woman is tempting, she is not something he can touch yet.
Seeing Li Zhiyun so lively, Zhang Jieyu was not annoyed, but looked at Li Zhiyun's back and was a little dizzy.
The eyes linger and shine.
After a long time, it turned into a sigh.
Back at the mansion, Li Zhiyun took a mandarin duck bath under the service of Miss Yin, and then fell asleep with Miss Yin in his arms.
The next day, Li Zhiyun took Li Zhen and Li Qiang to Prince Qin's Mansion.
A person cannot stand without trust. Since he agreed to go, Li Zhiyun had to go, otherwise he would be insulting Li Shimin.
That's right, in the future generations, brothers often let pigeons fly when they have dinner dates. This kind of thing is nothing in future generations. But in ancient times, letting people loose pigeons at will was an insult to others.
In front of Prince Qin's palace, Li Zhiyun dismounted.
Li Shimin had already received the news and had been waiting for a long time with Princess Qin's eldest son.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law."
"Zhiyun doesn't need to be polite." Li Shimin took his arm.
Li Zhiyun smiled and turned to his second sister-in-law.
That plump figure, the aura of a mature young woman, and the sultry taste, who else could she be if she wasn't the second sister-in-law?
However, Changsun's slightly bulging belly surprised Li Zhiyun slightly, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, isn't it?"
Li Shimin smiled proudly, nodded and said: "In a few days, you will be Uncle Wang."
Some time ago, he had heard that his sister-in-law Zheng Guanyin was pregnant, but he did not expect that the Changsun family would not be left behind.
"Congratulations to second brother, congratulations to second sister-in-law."
Changsun said harmoniously: "Uncle, if you are envious, you should come and see me more often when the child is born."
"Definitely, definitely." Li Zhiyun thought to himself, I will definitely come and see you more often.
