The father and daughter talked and went to a warm room not far away that was connected to Li Yuan's study.`
Generally speaking, this is the place where Li Yuan receives guests. Li Yuan also likes to make friends. Like many wealthy people, the friends he makes cannot be just ordinary people.
The family background must be prominent. This is a prerequisite. Among Li Yuan's friends, there will never be any reckless heroes. They are all hawks and dogs driven by him and will not be his friends.
Next, you must have talent. When such a person comes to Li Yuan, he will definitely treat you like a guest. It doesn't matter if you don't have talent, then you have to talk about falling in love with him.
What is rapport? For Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Dynasty, he likes people who are more free and easy. In other words, you don’t need to be too pretentious in front of him, and don’t be too restrained, but don’t be too rude. Hey, such a person can
It makes him look more pleasing to the eye.
Of course, it would be better if a free and easy person talks more interestingly and is more knowledgeable.
Li Yuan, you won’t talk about loyalty and unloyalty to your friends, but as long as you can treat him as a friend, he will definitely be worthy of you. There is a fundamental difference between him and those reckless people who only talk in vain and can only see people’s hearts over time, because as a
As the leader of a powerful clan in Kansai, he has absolute confidence that he can satisfy his friends and will never regret having a friend like him, Li Yuan.
However, not long after Li Yuan arrived in Jinyang, he still hadn't found any like-minded friends.
He looked down upon those people from the Wang family. They were so polite that even he, a son of a powerful family, was bored, let alone making any friends.
Moreover, what these guys pay attention to is that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, cutting off the robe and severing the friendship, breaking off the friendship on the ground, the ancient custom of breaking up the friendship between gentlemen, and not saying bad words. In addition to being very heartless, there may be a lot of filth hidden behind it, so they all
It can only be used, but not deeply communicated.
As for people from other wealthy families in Jinyang City, he has also met many of them. In Li Yuan's opinion, they are all followers of the Wang family, so naturally they will not be placed in his eyes as he comes from a powerful family in Guanxi.
Therefore, this warm pavilion for entertaining guests has never really performed its function until now.
Every time he came here, Li Yuan would lament that there was no one in Jin. When he was in Loufan, he looked like he was half dead, and not much has changed now.
The King of Jinyang, Li Yuan curled his lips in his heart, the King of Jinyang had a false reputation and occupied a good place in vain.
The father and daughter sat down at separate tables. After a while, several snacks and two pots of warm wine were placed on the low table in front of them.
Li Yuan smiled, there were not many times when he was so serious about things. He didn't know what kind of trouble his daughter was going to make.
He has always been tolerant towards his daughter, and he is also very calm. He just doesn't ask. This little trick between father and daughter has been played for several years, but it makes Li Yuan feel relaxed every time.
and warm.
Naturally, Li Xiuning would not have the same sentiments as Li Yuan. Those are feelings that only belong to the elderly. Young people will not feel these carefully. She just felt that she should come to have a drink with her father today, so she came.
First, he waved his hand gently and dismissed the slaves.
Holding the wine in both hands, Kansai's daughter's clean energy finally came to her. "With this first glass, my daughter first congratulates her father on his promotion to the post of staying in Taiyuan, and he will definitely be able to show his ambitions here."
Listening to his daughter's slightly childish voice, and seeing her serious appearance at a young age, Li Yuan stroked his beard. He was extremely satisfied and picked up the wine glass, "This is my first glass. Well, that's pretty good."
, my father has indeed been promoted this time, well, I am very happy."
After having a drink, I didn't need my daughter to come over to pour the wine. I filled up the wine myself and looked at my daughter again with interest.
Li Xiuning held up another glass of wine and said, "As soon as my father came, everyone surrendered. I think it won't be long before my father can bring peace to the people of Jin. For this reason, my daughter would like to toast her father again."
Li Yuan nodded slightly, "Well, with your good words, I will definitely drink the whole cup as my father. Otherwise, the people of Jin will probably not agree."
Li Xiuning rolled her eyelids slightly, obviously dissatisfied with her father's lack of dignity.`
After drinking two drinks in a row, the father and daughter acted as if nothing had happened. Of course, the alcohol content these days was too low, and even a little girl couldn't drink it down in a short period of time.
Li Xiuning raised his glass again, "Both brothers are adults. Each has talents and can help my father. My family, the Li family, is expected to prosper. If my daughter is honored, I should offer a toast to the master."
This was said in a very grand manner. Not only was he commenting on his brother, but his father also mentioned it. Li Yuan raised his eyebrows, was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
He clapped his hands and cheered: "Okay, many people have said this in front of my father, but only this time today makes my father the happiest..."
As he spoke, he raised his head and drank another glass.
Otherwise, it can be said that Li Yuan likes this daughter the most. Her words are so considerate, and sometimes it even makes Li Yuan feel like chatting and drinking with friends. In this regard, no one else can compare with her.
Oh? And?
The laughter had not gone away, and the wine was poured again, but at this moment, the person's face became serious, which made Li Yuan feel dazed, because Mr. Dou always had such an expression when he wanted to talk about business.
, people have to pay attention and listen carefully.
"This morning, Li Jing, the Prime Minister of Mayi County, received good news. In the battle last year, Heng'an Town General Li Bi led his army to defend the city, lured the enemy troops into the city, wiped out more than 20,000 Turkic troops besieging the city, and cut down the bones of the Turkic generals.
Gisi, take a thousand prisoners."
"Oh..." Li Yuan was still a little dazed, and just said softly, but then he froze, rolled his eyes, and frowned, "Huh?"
This turn of events was indeed too big for him to accept.
While still digesting, Li Xiuning continued: "The victory report also said..."
"What else can you say?" Li Yuan asked subconsciously without thinking.
"It is also said that... Yanmen was surrounded and the Turkic army went north. Li Ding'an, who joined the army of Heng'an Town, led his army out in full force and pursued them one after another, defeating countless enemies. They even annihilated ten thousand Turks more than twenty miles north of Shenwu.
The remaining troops captured more than 5,000 people, and then...this man led his army to advance rapidly into the Yunzhong grassland, spanning hundreds of miles, annihilating countless enemies, and capturing countless people..."
"This is the last cup of toast to my father. If you fulfill your important duties, you will be able to meet such good generals. If you can drive, you will be even more powerful than a tiger."
Watching her father pour the wine into his mouth subconsciously, the girl held the wine in her hands and drank it happily.
Although I was muttering in my heart, I knew that after hearing this news, my daughter was no longer a daughter, but... at least I could drink two more cups to satisfy my craving today, which was good.
It turns out that this little lady is a good drinker.
Li Yuan put down his drinking and writing, and indeed completely separated from the role of a loving father.
He stroked his beard and thought for a while, frowning tightly, "Nonsense, how could you tell my father about such a thing, who are they?"
The girl reluctantly put down her drink and said, "Father, do you think this is somewhat true? If it is true, why did the good news not arrive in Jinyang until today?"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment. He quickly entered the state of staying behind in Taiyuan. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized. He cursed secretly in his heart, then shook his head gently and said: "These people..."
However, his tolerance was not pretended. Sometimes, he was very considerate of the people below, so he immediately changed the subject, "I don't think Medicine Master Li would dare to tell such a big lie. Even if it is exaggerated, it should be
It's true, Li Bi, the daughter of the Li Jing family must be named Li Bi..."
"Why did you become the general of Heng'an?"
Having said this, a very complicated smile appeared on his face again, probably because he remembered the old things again. He had beaten that boy Li Yaoshi.
Two blushes finally appeared on Li Xiuning's face. She took advantage of her father to talk to himself and secretly drank two cups. She finally became a little dizzy after drinking.
He interrupted without knowing whether to live or die, "I don't know about this daughter. I have met Li's sister's daughter twice. Kong Wu is very strong and always pinches my face. My mother doesn't like her very much either. She says that Li Jing...
This daughter’s tutoring is terrible, but he has read so many books himself, hehe..."
Li Yuan finally realized that his daughter had drunk too much again, so he slammed the table. Everyone in the Li family knew that this girl was a drinker and talked too much when she drank too much, so they treated her the same when it came to drinking.
strict control.
Today I accidentally let her take advantage of the loophole again.
Looking at his daughter who was shaking her head, Li Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, so he quickly called people in and took his daughter away.
When the excitement subsided, he drank some by himself and ate a few mouthfuls of vegetables. Then he stood up and left the Nuan Pavilion. He wandered around thinking about it, and unknowingly, he came to the waterside pavilion again.
After a long while, Li Yuan patted the railing and thought, Li Jing, Li Jing, this good news is no joke. If you deliberately deceive and want to drive away that old guy Wang Rengong, you are making a big mistake.
We are here in Taiyuan, so we will use you to establish our authority.
But if this is true... it would be a bit difficult to handle.
Heng'an Town joins the army. What is this? Can you join the army with the power of a town? This is the first time I heard about it. It has only been a few years since I left Jin Dynasty, and there are more and more strange things like this?
Moreover, he himself is also the leader of the army. How many troops can the Heng'an town army have? They wiped out more than 20,000 Turks under Yunnei City. Even if it is a trick, it sounds a bit impossible.
Can they still annihilate more than 10,000 Turkic cavalry in a field battle in the dead of winter? And then chase them to the Yunzhong Grassland?
Will heavenly soldiers and generals descend to earth?
The more Li Yuan thought about it, the more impossible it became. Then he understood the caution of his men. The victory report looked good, it looked like a great victory, but if a false report came to him, there would be trouble.
Originally, he wanted to ask someone to come over and ask, but now, he has no intention of asking. Let them check first.
In the evening of this day, Li Shimin, the second son of Li Yuan, came back and hurriedly came to see his father...
