"Father, please forgive me. In my studies at the Martial Arts Hall, only two subjects, arithmetic and art of war, achieved an A grade. The remaining subjects such as riding and archery, as well as infantry warfare, farmland, etc., all received a C grade!"
Li Tai quickly reported the incident.
Li Shimin's face was dull and he didn't say anything. He just looked at Li You who was standing aside.
Li You shuddered and hurriedly raised his hands to salute: "To express my gratitude to my father, I will serve you on horseback and archery. The two subjects of art of war are A, and the remaining subjects such as arithmetic, infantry warfare, and farmland are all C and B!"
After saying that, the two of them secretly looked at Li Shimin in front of them.
"How long have you and I been going to the martial arts hall?"
Li Shimin said calmly.
"Back to my father, we and I went to the martial arts hall for more than two years!"
Li Tai and Li You both hurriedly raised their hands and saluted.
"So, your grades in the martial arts hall are still so bad? Could it be that Li Jing, Qin Qiong and others failed to fulfill their duties and failed to teach you well?"
Li Shimin asked coldly.
"Father, forgive me, I am a foolish son!"
The two people quickly reported the incident.
"Huh, stupid?"
Li Shimin snorted coldly, "One of you was praised by the scribes of the Tang Dynasty for being a saint; the other one was praised by those aristocratic families for being brave as a Wuhou? And now you are being humbled and stupid in front of me?"
"Forgive me, father, but I am only talented in literature and calligraphy. I am extremely stupid when it comes to the art of war!"
Li Tai said quickly.
And Li You quickly raised his hands and said: "Father, the same is true for my son! My son used to be arrogant and thought that he was invincible in riding and shooting. Only in the past two years did he realize that it was all those dudes who were afraid of my son.
Identity, and flattery to the son, making the son lose himself!
In fact, among the martial arts disciples, I can’t even compare to the top 100!”
After hearing this, Li Shimin's expression softened slightly.
"You can realize how much you are worth in the martial arts hall, so it is not in vain for me to send you to the martial arts hall!"
Seeing this, Li Tai and Li You flashed a hint of joy in their eyes.
Then, he asked cautiously: "May I ask my father, when can I stop going to the martial arts hall?"
"Um?"
Li Shimin's face darkened and he looked at Li Tai and Li You quietly.
"You two don't want to go to the martial arts hall?"
"Father is wise!"
Li Tai and Li You were overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
"What a wise ass!"
Li Shimin was furious, "You evildoers want to lead troops to conquer Goguryeo. I agreed to it, but at the expense of my face, I sent you to the martial arts hall. As a result, you actually wanted to give up halfway?"
Do you know what this is?
This is a deserter!
The three-year academic system of the Wushu Hall is a three-year one. If you don’t finish three years, you won’t even think about quitting!”
Hearing this, Li Tai and Li You's expressions suddenly turned bitter.
The days in the martial arts hall are really difficult!
But facing Li Shimin, neither of them had the courage to refute.
Li Shimin turned his head again and looked at Li Min, Li Yun, and Li Zhen.
"The same goes for you. In two years' time, all of you will go to the martial arts hall to stay for three years!"
"Yes, Father!"
The little ones were even more trembling in front of Li Shimin, not daring to say a word.
Seeing this, Li Shimin felt helpless.
Then, he waved his hand.
"Ke'er has not returned for a year. Now that you are back, go and see your mother and concubine!"
"Yes, Father!"
Excitement flashed in Li Ke's eyes, and he quickly bowed to Li Shimin, then slightly arched his hand to Li Chengqian, and hurriedly walked to the harem.
However, after leaving Liangyi Hall, he did not go to find his mother and concubine. Instead, he first paid his respects to Queen Changsun, and then went to see his biological mother, Concubine Yin!
Wait until all the little ones have been sent away.
In Liangyi Hall, only Li Chengqian and Li Shimin were left.
"Ke'er has already captured eight cities in Goguryeo and has thirty thousand troops!"
Li Shimin said seemingly casually.
However, Li Chengqian heard a different meaning.
He chuckled lightly, "My third brother is good at fighting. In just two years, he captured so many cities from Goguryeo. It is my great fortune in the Tang Dynasty!"
"As the king of Wu, Ke'er has made such great achievements, but as the prince, you don't have any feelings at all?"
Li Shimin asked in surprise.
"Reporting to my father, you are happy for your third brother and for me, the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Chengqian's face was filled with joy.
Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but be startled.
"you are happy?"
"yes!"
Li Chengqian nodded sincerely.
Seeing this, Li Shimin was even more surprised and suspicious.
"Aren't you afraid that if this continues, Ke'er's reputation will surpass yours?"
"Father, my sons and I went to America with Uncle Jin Wang and brought back sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, the sacred objects of the country!"
Li Chengqian said with a blank expression.
"Furthermore, according to what the uncle of the King of Jin said, my father is in his prime. In more than ten years, when all the nobles of the Tang Dynasty and the Li Tang clan will lead their troops, they will conquer several vassal states outside the Tang Dynasty.
city, after enjoying their luxurious life behind closed doors.
And at that time, our noble families from the Tang Dynasty will be able to conquer overseas.
Regarding the throne, not many princes care about it anymore!
Maybe, by then, I will also want to run overseas all day long..."
Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyelids couldn't help but twitch subconsciously.
Will we have to put more burdens on the prince in the future?
Keep it away from Xuanba?
Thinking about this, Li Shimin looked at the pile of memorials in front of him and said to Li Chengqian.
"I'm going to see Aye. You can finish reviewing all the memorials on this table for me!"
After saying that, he walked out directly.
Behind him, Li Chengqian looked confused.
Isn’t today the day before the New Year?
And these days, all the courtiers are resting at home. Where are these memorials that need to be reviewed urgently?
Unfortunately, when Li Chengqian raised his head, Li Shimin and Li Wei had disappeared.
well……
Lijiazhuang.
Li Xuan was very excited.
Princess Jin is pregnant again.
Let’s add some joy to the New Year again.
This year’s New Year’s Eve dishes are even more abundant.
There is also an extra steamed sweet potato, steamed potato, steamed pumpkin, spicy and sour potato shreds, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes on every kitchen table!
In addition, there is also sweet and tempting popcorn.
Everyone in Lijiazhuang was very happy.
After the Spring Festival, we entered the eighth year of Zhenguan.
Everyone in the Tang Dynasty was still immersed in joy.
Tubo and Tuyuhun in the west of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla in the east of the Tang Dynasty, and even the tribes such as Tiele, Uihe, Mohe, and Shiwei further away were also beginning to make moves.
Wait until the border army sends this news back to Datang.
It's February, and the weather is slowly starting to warm up.
Following several groups of cavalry with three flags on their backs, they rushed into Chang'an City.
Li Jing, Cheng Chusi, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and other important officials also hurriedly followed the eunuch and ran into the Liangyi Palace.
"Your Majesty, these vassal hozens must have learned about the Thunder Guards, so they want to unite to intimidate us, the Tang Dynasty!"
Fang Xuanling said solemnly.
Cheng Zhijie snorted lightly and said directly: "Fart, these hozens are not a deterrent, but they want to take advantage of the spring plowing of the Tang Dynasty to unite and invade the Tang Dynasty together!"
On the side, Li Jing, Du Ruhui and others also had angry faces.
"Although we, the Tang Dynasty, are not afraid of these barbarian hozens, with the war, spring plowing in our country, the Tang Dynasty, will inevitably be delayed!"
