In the evening, Li Po had dinner with his children.
Li Yuan and Li Zhen were rarely accompanied by their father when they were young, but their father's influence was always with them.
This is the living environment of princes and princesses. Royal people are extremely ruthless. There are factors like this at work.
However, Li Po's family is different from the serious royal family. Although Li Yuan and Li Zhen don't see their father's shadow all day long, they are very attached to his father.
This is mainly due to Li Po's ability to put down the emperor's airs in front of his children. When his sons and daughters make mistakes, it is not their father who punishes them, but their mother who treats them harshly.
So when Li Po had a rare dinner with his children, the two little people were very happy, answering questions and having a great time.
But when the palace people lit the lights in the palace, Queen Li Bi and others were still missing. Then someone came to report that the queen would not return to the palace tonight and was staying in the suburbs of Luoyang.
Li Po knew that his mother-in-law didn't want to see him tonight.
Thinking about it, whether it was Ashina Rongzhen, Wang Qi, Dugu Tianxiang or Wang Zhen, there was some foreshadowing.
This time he was more impulsive. He had just met the Queen of Silla and slept with her. He was too impatient. As the Queen, Li Bi naturally had to show some temper and tell him not to do the same again.
…………
Li Po did not recite the curse, so he could only send his son out of the city the next day to tell his mother that his father had decided to leave for Chang'an in the near future and let his mother prepare.
The emperor was rather slippery in handling family affairs. The women in the harem, headed by Li Bi, could not play tricks on him, so in the afternoon of the next day, Li Bi led his people back to the palace.
The empress and the emperor had a bit of a tantrum, but it was over before it even started.
Li Po laid out the facts and reasoned, and could always give his wife a satisfactory explanation. Finally, he said, I worry about national affairs day and night. Is it easy for me?
Li Bi knew that her husband was playing tricks again, but the war was imminent, and she really needed to appease the Silla people, so it was reasonable for her husband to be nice to the Queen of Silla...
Okay, these are all nonsense. She took people out for a tour, and Li Xiuning lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes in front of her. He was no longer as arrogant as he was in Yun Nei.
The Queen of Silla was even more cautious and respectful.
Although it didn't feel good to have the upper hand, she was still in a good mood. In addition, her husband came to apologize in time, so Li Bi didn't care about herself and took advantage of the situation and went down the stairs.
In fact, no matter when the time comes, as long as a man is capable, his wife will always be more tolerant.
And in these days, it is normal for men to flirt with women, let alone the king of a country? Even if Li Po wants to build a car for fun like Yang Guang, it is not impossible.
…………
In early July, Jin Deman, the true king of Silla, set out to leave Luoyang.
Li Po personally sent him off to the bank of Luoshui.
In early autumn, there were willow trees on both sides of the Luoshui River, but Li Po didn't break the branches and send them away. He just warned Kinderman that the battle this year would be quite dangerous, and told her not to lead her men into battle in a hurry, but to just watch from the rear.
That’s it.
If there is an accident, you can take a boat to Datang Yunyun.
Look at what other people said, how heart-warming it is, and it will not make the other person feel like they are being taken advantage of at all.
But with a deeper relationship, the woman was so confused by the man's deception that she reluctantly said with tears: "I am far away from each other, and I don't know when we will see each other again.
I only wish that your majesty will be in good health and have a long life. I will be in Silla and pray for your majesty day and night. I also hope that your majesty will never forget me..."
Li Po smiled and said: "What are you talking about? It's as if we will never see you again after goodbye. I have too many things involved here, so I can't travel far. You are not like me. As long as everything is peaceful, you can come to Datang for a walk.
Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one in Silla will dare to cause trouble."
…………
The couple chatted for a long time before Jin Deman said goodbye with tears. After talking so much to Li Po, he left his sister Jin Shengman aside without saying a few words.
Jin Shengman was very depressed. When she left Silla, she never expected that her sister would be the first to get there. What a mess this was...
Li Bi was very smart and didn't come to see her off. She probably knew that something like this was going to happen, so in order not to cause trouble for herself, she simply stayed out of sight.
…………
Li Po stopped at the bank of Luoshui and saw a group of carriages and horses going further and further away. His brows gradually furrowed. The battle was about to begin. He didn't know what the final outcome would be.
The attack on Goguryeo was different from previous wars.
Goguryeo has been a country for a long time, and its national power is very strong. In East Asia, apart from the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, it is the only country.
No matter how good the strategy and tactics are, no matter how favorable the situation is, in a national war with Goguryeo, the outcome is still uncertain.
Despite his relaxed appearance these days, he was actually very preoccupied, his eyes were wandering eastward, and he handled government affairs in a perfunctory manner.
He was just pretending so no one could see his nervousness.
Li Po's eyes followed the figures that were getting further and further away, and it seemed that he could see all the way to the peninsula.
"Your Majesty, we have gone far."
From the sound of his voice, he knew it was Jin Shengman. He looked cute with his big eyes, but there was a hint of sourness in his words.
Li Po laughed in the blink of an eye and said to himself that after all the great storms and waves in recent years, who the hell is Goguryeo? Even if it was defeated...
Bah, bah, what a defeat. If the 200,000-strong army were defeated in one battle, then the Tang Dynasty would have to wait a few years. We can't say such depressing words. Wouldn't that be causing trouble for ourselves?
In fact, it is no different from the previous wars. We have formulated a strategy, made all preparations, and are just waiting for the war to begin.
Moreover, he has been preparing for the battle with Goguryeo for two or three years. Now... he actually feels that it is a little early. If there are more warships, the soldiers can have more time to rest...
Well, there is no such thing as the book says, everything is ready and all it takes is the east wind. Datang has done enough and enough. As for the victory or defeat, let it be left to the generals leading the troops in front of the formation.
Li Po exhaled a long breath and got on his horse, "Yes, I have left, but you stayed. If you have any plans, let me know."
Jin Shengman is heartless. As soon as her sister left, she was as happy as a deer. There was no sign of separation at all. She seemed to want her sister to leave as soon as possible. The plastic sisterhood was nothing more than that.
He got on his horse and accompanied Li Po and said with a smile: "The Queen has already agreed to allow me to enter the palace as a concubine, but I have to issue an edict in person. Your Majesty will not refuse, right?"
