Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, Li Jiancheng also darkened his face. For a moment, he forgot about the hatred between himself and Li Shimin. In any case, the man in front of him was his brother from the same mother. Li Jiancheng sighed and said to Li Shimin : "Second brother, why should a man worry about not having a wife? Do you want to remain unmarried for the rest of your life because of that woman?"
Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Li Shimin suddenly stiffened. Li Jiancheng also suddenly realized that these words were not what he should say. He coughed slightly in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Second brother, you see, all the adults are waiting. I'm in a hurry. It's better to quickly bring up the wine given by the father."
And Li Shimin immediately came to his senses. He waved his hands with a smile. Immediately, the servants brought up the wine jars one by one. There were almost one jar for each person. They placed them like this. Then Li Jiancheng spoke and everyone started talking. It was a joyous drinking session. It must be said that although Li Yuan had treated Li Shimin a little badly, the wine given to him was genuine. Those courtiers were just that. Those generals were all greedy drinkers. They drank so much. Faces were filled with red light. The hall was gradually becoming lively.
Wan He also wanted to taste the wine. However, he did not forget his current situation. Naturally, he did not dare to drink more. Especially since Li Shimin almost found out his identity before. This also made Wan He always remain vigilant with the people next to him. After a few polite words, Wan He made an excuse and stepped down from the banquet. However, Wan He's behavior fell into the eyes of Li Jiancheng, which made Li Jiancheng secretly happy. He thought that Wan He didn't want to spend more time with Li Shimin. Being close. This strengthened Li Jiancheng's idea of reusing Wanhe.
Then Li Jiancheng turned his head again and glanced at the people in the hall. He smiled and said to Li Shimin: "Second brother, you see, you have made great achievements in Longxi this time. Next year, my father will definitely send you north. Conquer Liu Wuzhou. When the time comes, you will come back with a great victory. This achievement is not small. In comparison, as the eldest brother, I am far behind."
Hearing what Li Jiancheng said, Li Shimin immediately raised his fist and saluted Li Jiancheng and said: "Brother, what are you talking about? You and I are brothers, so how can we distinguish each other? The eldest brother is the eldest son of his father. He will succeed him in the future. position. This matter of charging into battle. Why do we need to trouble my brother to take action?"
"Oh." Li Shimin's words were so upright. It sounded as if he had never had any intention of seizing the throne. If it were Li Jiancheng before, he might have really believed it. But after this period of time, Li Jiancheng already knew very well that his second brother would never let go. However, there was no flaw in Li Shimin's words. Li Jiancheng couldn't grasp the reason. He could only laugh and exposed the matter again. He went over and took a sip of the wine in the cup. He smiled and said to Li Shimin: "Second brother, in fact, there are some things, just like this wine. Drinking also has to be divided into people. Those woodcutter farmers, I'm afraid. We don’t even know what wine tastes like. The value of a glass of wine in our hands can be worth their hard work. This is fate. Some things are destined. They cannot be obtained by force."
After hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Li Shimin smiled faintly. He shook his head and said, "Brother, I don't agree with this. Some things are indeed destined to be unchangeable. But some things, as long as you have perseverance, perseverance, and great opportunities. .But it can still change one's life against the odds. Ordinary people cannot drink this glass of wine. It's not because of how precious the wine is. It's because of their insufficient status. And if they try hard. Once you reach this status and drink this glass of wine, it doesn’t matter.”
"Hahahaha." Li Jiancheng raised his head and laughed loudly. This caused everyone in the hall to stop their actions and turned their heads to look at him and Li Shimin. Little did they know that these two brothers who seemed to be inseparable from each other. What are you talking about? It actually made Li Jiancheng laugh so loudly. Li Jiancheng seemed not to see the eyes of everyone. He said with a smile: "Second brother, your words are too naive. Perseverance and perseverance. Rely on this. You can change your destiny against the will of God. It’s a joke. It’s a joke.”
Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Li Shimin just pursed his lips and showed a smile. He said: "What's so impossible about this? If nothing else, just the few warriors under my command are enough to prove it. Gongsun Wuda."
"The last general is here." As he spoke, Li Shimin suddenly shouted. And with Li Shimin's shout, a tall general stood up from his seat and walked directly to the aisle in the hall. He cupped his fists and saluted Li Shimin. It was none other than Li Shimin's fierce general Gongsun Wuda. This Gongsun Wuda was tall and tall, with a strong back and a strong waist. Plus, he had a chilling aura. The moment he stood up, the courtiers on both sides couldn't help but choke. There was drooling at the mouth and a gurgling sound in the throat.
Li Shimin glanced at everyone with a smile. He also glanced at Li Jiancheng out of the corner of his eye. Then he said to Gongsun Wuda: "Gongsun Wuda, please tell the prince about your background and experience."
"Here." Gongsun Wuda saluted Li Shimin again. Then he stood up straight, held his head high and held his chest high. He shouted to Li Jiancheng: "Return to the crown prince. The three generations of our ancestors are all woodcutters in the mountains. I and I At the age of five, he was determined to make a difference. At the age of five, he became a teacher and learned skills. He practiced hard for fifteen years. In the year of great cause, he finally surrendered to the army to kill the enemy. He was appointed as the commander of the Chang'an Guard Army. Later, the king of Tang raised a rebel army and came to the city. At the end of the year, he switched to the Tang army. In the past three years, he fought in thirty battles. Seven battles. Killed countless enemies. Killed seventeen enemy generals. Won the appreciation of the King of Qin. He was appointed as the hussar of the three right armies of the King of Qin's palace."
After Gongsun Wuda finished talking about his experience, there was a gasp of air-conditioning in the hall. Li Jiancheng's face also became a little ugly. Then, Li Shimin also turned to Li Jiancheng and said: "Brother. Isn't this Gongsun Wuda a good example? It just proves what I just said. I don't know what my elder brother thinks."
Li Jiancheng did not expect that Li Shimin would directly use his own generals as an example. His face suddenly turned livid, and his look at Gongsun Wuda also became very bad. This Gongsun Wuda was one of Li Shimin's subordinates. Li Jiancheng naturally knew this person. Li Jiancheng also wanted to win this person under his command before. Unfortunately, Gongsun Wuda was very loyal to Li Shimin and refused to accept Li Jiancheng's kindness. Now he has come out to fight against him. .Li Jiancheng looked at Gongsun Wuda and his eyes were not very good.
Seeing that Li Jiancheng didn't speak, Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand, motioning Gongsun Wuda to sit down. Then he turned his head and cupped his fists at Li Jiancheng and said, "I was rude just now. I was very offensive to my elder brother. Please forgive me." "
It was obvious that he had the upper hand. Now he changed the topic and apologized humbly. Now Li Jiancheng had no excuse even if he wanted to refute. Li Jiancheng immediately held a breath in his chest. He felt terribly uncomfortable, but he couldn't do it right there. I could only suppress the anger in my heart. I forced out a smile. I nodded and said: "It's okay. It's okay. It's just a chat between you and me. Why do you have to be so serious? Come on. Come on. Drink. Drink. .”
Li Shimin smiled and toasted to each other with Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng drank the wine in one gulp, while Li Shimin sipped the wine slowly and leisurely. Although the two brothers still seemed to be brothers and sisters, they were afraid that they were alone. They knew in their hearts that there was no possibility of turning around when facing the brothers in front of them. In the days to come, the two brothers were destined to fight to the death.
And while there was an open and covert fight in the hall, Wan He had already wandered to the backyard of Prince Qin's Mansion. It wasn't that Wan He was deliberately trying to spy on something. It was that every courtyard of Prince Qin's Mansion seemed to be filled with people. The corridors are all the same. Wan He also unfortunately lost his way. However, all the servants of Prince Qin's Palace have been arranged to entertain guests in the front yard. On the contrary, not even half a person can be seen in the backyard. In desperation Wan He could only stop and look, hoping to find a way out by accident. Now he regretted it to death. When he came out before, he didn't bring Tai Shi Feng and Du Hao out. .
Seeing that he passed several yards, Wan He still couldn't find the way out of the backyard. On the contrary, he became more and more dizzy. Especially since he was covered with such a thick layer of fat, and there were two pieces hanging on his face. . It also affected Wan He's vision. This anxiety made him angry, and he couldn't find the way. At this moment, Wan He, who was full of anxiety, suddenly heard a whisper from in front of him. It seemed like someone was coming. Wan He couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he heard the voice. He hurriedly followed the voice with heavy steps. In Wan He's view, as long as he found the person, he would be able to get out.
As the voice coming from the front became clearer and clearer, Wan He could even understand that it was a woman's voice. Wan He was stunned. Just now in the hall, didn't Li Jiancheng say that there was even a maid in Li Shimin's house? Don’t you have them all? Could it be that Li Shimin, this guy, hides his beauty in a golden house?
Thinking of this, the fire of gossip in Wan He's heart suddenly ignited. His eyes were very bright. He even subconsciously stepped lightly. Fortunately, there were no servants from Prince Qin's palace watching around. Otherwise, with Wan He's thief-minded appearance, people would have to treat him as a thief and arrest him.
Wan He walked a few steps and happened to turn around a corridor in front of him. Suddenly, a piece of green flashed in front of Wan He's eyes. It was a bamboo garden full of green. And the sound Wan He heard before was... It came from this bamboo garden.
