Bazhuo set out on his way home, and by the way, there were two envoys from the Tang Dynasty. He originally thought that during his mission to the Tang Dynasty, he might be controlled by the Tang Dynasty as a hostage.
But in fact, it didn't happen. When he was in Chang'an, except for his personal freedom being restricted, nothing else happened.
Then, the Tang prince met with him two days ago, agreed to form a secret alliance with the Xueyantuo tribe, and also sent an envoy to canonize his father as Xueyantuo Khan.
At this point, his mission should be considered successfully completed. But for some reason, Ba Zhuo always felt that something was wrong.
A gust of cold wind hit, and Ba Zhuo shivered.
He had heard that a few days later was Yuan Zhengri of the Han people, and he was ready to see the exotic customs. What a pity.
However, there will always be opportunities in the future.
With the arrival of Yuan Zhengri, the Tang Dynasty also entered the eighth year of Wude from the seventh year of Wude.
Looking back on the past two years, Li Zhiyun always feels that time has passed very quickly, and since he took over the country's political affairs, it seems that he has spent every day in the political hall.
It's a bit boring.
After a routine day of summoning ministers, receiving foreign envoys, and offering sacrifices, Li Zhiyun took the princess and the children into the palace to stay with his mother.
indoor.
Li Yuan's energy recovered a little, but he was already skinny and bones.
"Father, please relax. Not long ago, the grassland came to report that tribes such as Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs had betrayed the Turks and had broken with Jieli. Presumably, soon, the grassland will be divided again and fight. Taking this opportunity, we, the Tang Dynasty, can save soldiers, horses, food and grass.
.
Given time, I will defeat the Turks."
Li Yuan nodded, took a breath, and said: "The Turks have been suffering for hundreds of years. After Xianbei entered the Han Dynasty, Rouran declined, and the Turks gradually dominated the grassland. All dynasties in the past dynasties suffered from it. During the Sui Dynasty, the Turks weakened several times.
Yang Guang had the opportunity to solve the Turkic problem once and for all. However, he was so eager to achieve success and ignored the people. Not only did he miss a thousand-year opportunity in vain, but he also caused chaos and unrest in the world.
Prince, you have to remember that today the world is stable. If you have the opportunity to conquer the Turks from the north in the future, you must completely eliminate the Turks' troubles. If you can't solve it, we will have endless troubles in the Tang Dynasty. The people of the grassland are ambitious and despicable barbarians.
Don't treat him with courtesy."
"Father, don't worry, I understand."
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhiyun told Lao Li about canonizing Yi Nan as Xue Yantuo Khan.
After hearing this, Li Yuan thought thoughtfully and said: "Pei Ju is an old man in seeking a country. His plan is indeed feasible, but you can't relax your vigilance. Support Xue Yantuo against Jie Li. You must also be careful that Xue Yantuo becomes big in the future and becomes the second one."
Turks."
Li Zhiyun's heart trembled, "My son, please remember your father's teachings."
This possibility is not impossible, but it is quite possible!
Li Yuan said guiltily: "Zhiyun, you are the youngest, so you shouldn't have to endure all this, but I can't help it. I hope you can forgive me."
"Father, please don't say this. This world was conquered by my father, his sons and brothers. My sons will definitely protect the country and the country for my father." Li Zhiyun said sincerely.
Hearing this, Li Yuan gently held Li Zhiyun's palm.
Lao Li's hands were dry, rough, and cold.
"Okay, my father is right, you are a good boy."
Li Yuan originally wanted to have two drinks with Li Zhiyun tonight, but unfortunately, he couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep again.
Walking out of the dormitory, I met the queen mother face to face.
"Mother, yeah, how many hours do you sleep every day?"
As Wan walked away, she said, "Now, Your Majesty is only awake for an hour every day, and occasionally he is still lost in the lake."
As she spoke, she sighed: "Moreover, wind attacks occur from time to time, causing His Majesty to suffer terribly."
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun was silent.
Lao Li's current situation is far-fetched to say he is "barely getting by". It should be said that he is "living on."
Basically, whether Lao Li can wake up depends entirely on luck.
When he is lucky, Lao Li can still communicate with people normally. When he is not lucky, Lao Li doesn't even recognize people.
Late at night, the Crown Princess, Wei Gui, Huaiyang and the three daughters accompanied Empress Wan to play mahjong. The daughters-in-law were very skilled at playing mahjong and lost money without showing any signs of it, which made Empress Wan extremely happy to win.
And Mrs. Yin, Pei Su'er, Yang Mudan, and Empress Wan's personal maid, gathered together another table of mahjong.
Li Zhiyun was left, telling stories around the fire with a few children who could run.
The fifth son, Chengjing, and the sixth son, Chengying, were still in their infancy, so they were allowed to rest in the inner room by their wet nurse.
Surrounding Li Zhiyun are mainly his eldest son Chengjing, second son Chengyan, third son Chenglie, fourth son Chengzhao and two daughters.
Among them, the eldest son Chengjing is six years old and has begun to be sensible. In addition to his slow temper, he appears to be very well-behaved and listens carefully to Li Zhiyun's stories.
The second son Chengyan and the third son Chenglie were born in the same year and in different months. They are both four years old. They are at an active age. The two little guys couldn't calm down. They had to give Li Zhiyun a slap in the face before covering their heads and wailing, making them obedient.
As for Cheng Zhao, he was curled up in his sister Baoniang's arms, yawning in confusion.
Shun Niang was the one who listened to the story most carefully.
"... But it is said that the six children, with their magical powers of invisibility, were able to enter monster caves and overturn rivers and seas, as if they were in an uninhabited land."
"Yeah, yeah, I want a gourd baby!" Chengyan said loudly.
"I want it too, yeah, I want a gourd baby too." Chenglie shouted after him.
Li Zhiyun was speechless and said: "Listen to me to finish the story first, and don't interrupt."
"Oh." The two little guys pursed their lips.
Bao Niang curled her lips, she would not want a gourd baby.
She would not tell her two bratty brothers that Calabash would never turn into Calabash Babies.
After listening to the story, Chengyan and Chenglie ran over to find their respective mothers, clamoring to plant gourds and ask for gourd babies.
Huaiyang and Wei Gui had black lines on their faces after hearing this.
They naturally knew that this was a story made up by their husbands, but children did not understand, so they could only coax their sons.
Baoniang looked at Chengyan and Chenglie over there, and then said to Li Zhiyun: "Yeah, I'm tired of hearing this story, let's change it."
"Okay, I'll tell you another story about sheep and wolves. But in the north, there is a place called Qingqing Grassland, where a group of lambs live. Among them, the smartest one is called Pleasant Goat, and the laziest one is called Lazy Goat.
sheep......"
Li Zhiyun, who turned into a nanny, carefully told stories to the children without getting bored at all.
These days, he is busy with government affairs and rarely communicates with his children. He feels guilty in his heart, so he wants to accompany them well.
"...Then Wu Dalang rushed into Yangcun and saw a lamb lying on the roadside. He snarled and pounced on it and bit it. Who would have thought that it was not a sheep, but a big stone covered in sheepskin. Wu Dalang
If a wolf's fangs hit a stone, they will naturally fall off and he will die immediately..."
"What a stupid wolf!" Cheng Zhao, who was fascinated by the lake, suddenly said sarcastically.
Li Zhiyun said: "It was so hungry that it lost its mind, so it bit it without seeing it clearly."
Xiao Chengzhao said: "But it is still very stupid. It has already broken the iron gate of Yangcun. Why doesn't it wait for more wolves to catch the sheep?"
"But it is very hungry and will die if it doesn't eat."
Xiao Chengzhao said: "But as Ye Ye said, it had nothing to eat before and had already started to eat grass, so why can't it endure it for a while and then eat meat."
"Shut up!" Bao Niang was angry, and pinched little Chengzhao's chubby face with her tender onion-like fingers.
Xiao Chengzhao immediately shut up.
He was afraid that his sister would beat him.
After all, I don't care about the severity of my actions.
