"Not to mention the smell of copper all over your body, but you are still self-righteous. It's really puzzling."
Based on Li Qiu's understanding of Changsun Wuji, his smile and the meaning in his words directly chilled Li Qiu's heart.
Then he laughed and said: "My lord, grandson, you also know that the boy was born as a merchant."
"I don't have much extravagant expectations. I live well, sleep soundly, have money to spend, drink wine, and eat meat."
At this time, Changsun Wuji put down the rice bowl in his hand, smiled and shook his head.
"Okay, this breakfast, I'm full."
"It's time to go to Chengqing Hall to see the excitement."
……
On the other side, in Chengqing Hall.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Chai Shao and others also didn't eat breakfast, and followed directly, besieging Li Shimin in the Chengqing Hall.
Li Shimin felt dizzy when he saw them.
"Why, don't you even think that I rewarded Li Qiu too much?"
Fang Xuanling sighed at this moment, "Your Majesty, didn't we all agree yesterday?"
"Let Li Qiu come to the minister's provincial door, and also let him participate in the work of the household department, the official department, and the industry department, so as to train and experience him."
"He was originally a merchant, and he is smart. If he can be allowed to follow the minister for a few years, he will definitely be a good candidate for Shang Shu Zuo Pu in the future."
At this time, Li Shimin spread his hands, "Xuanling, you also saw what happened this morning."
"These people don't look down on Li Qiu at all, they even despise Li Qiu when they go to court together."
"How do you think I put Li Qiu in your place?"
After hearing Li Shimin's words, Fang Xuanling couldn't help sighing, then shrank his hands and stepped aside.
Seeing him like this, Du Ruhui coughed twice, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, then you can let him come to the minister's right servant and the military department."
"Your Majesty, I know your physical condition."
"I'm afraid it won't last long."
"Right now, there are frequent wars. Right now, Liang Shidu is rebelling against the King of Lujiang. Next year, we will prevent the Turkic army from going south."
"The minister here and the military department really lack a man like Li Qiu who has strategy, vision, and quick thinking."
At this time, Li Shimin waved his hand again.
"Hey, Keming, isn't going to your place the same as going to Xuanling's?"
"Look carefully, whether it is the military headquarters or the Tang Dynasty, where are there no figures of those gentry?"
"At that time, if they squeeze out Li Qiu again, they will have internal friction again, and the gain will not be worth the loss."
Seeing Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui deflated, Chai Shao laughed, "Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, I really like Li Qiu."
"Didn't you ask me to lead the army to attack Liang Shidu?"
"It just so happens that I lack such a strong general to charge and kill the enemy!"
"Your Majesty, you have also said that this army and this general will be trained and honed through warfare."
"If you entrust Li Qiu to me, within ten years, I can guarantee that the Great Tang will produce another invincible general."
"Furthermore, although there are noble family disciples in my place, I guarantee that no one would dare to look at Li Qiu."
Before Chai Shao finished speaking, Li Shimin waved his hands directly, shaking his head like a rattle.
joke!
You want my son to follow you to charge and fight the enemy?
Why don't you say that you will bring the prince and the king of Wei together to charge you?
If Li Qiuwan had any troubles again, then Empress Changsun might really want to go with Qiu'er.
That is the loss of a son plus my queen!
Then I am still alive?
This is absolutely impossible!
"Oh, brother-in-law, Li Qiu is about to marry a girl from the Luo family."
"At present, there is not even a descendant."
"But you want to take him to follow you into battle to kill the enemy."
"If something happens to Li Qiu, how will you explain it to the late General Luo Cheng when you get to that side later?"
"This Luo family has only one daughter left."
"I heard that these two young people have a very strong affection, just like you and my sister."
"If there is something wrong with Li Qiu, the Luo family will probably die!"
Listening to Li Shimin's words, Chai Shao scratched his head, "Well, what you said is really true, Your Majesty."
"Then wait until later, when they have children!"
At this time, it was finally Qin Qiong's turn.
"Your Majesty, I have rarely tasted soldiers and horses. After going through more than two hundred battles, I have been repeatedly hit and severely injured. Ji Wu has bled several times before and after."
"Since the battle of Xuanwu Gate, I really can't hold on to my body anymore."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for the commander of the Shenwu Army to be competent for a long time."
"It just so happens that Li Qiu has a great relationship with the Shenwu Army, and the soldiers in the army have admired Li Qiu for a long time."
"In Yichen's opinion, this position is more suitable for Li Qiu."
Li Shimin sighed with emotion at this time, and patted Qin Qiong's arm.
"Shubao, I'm afraid most of your injuries are caused when you were by my side, right?"
"Thinking back in the past, the two of us, the monarch and his ministers, were really happy on the battlefield. Whenever there was someone who shouted and hated me, you were the first to rush over and kill him for me!"
"Now, you just stay in Chang'an City, stay by my side to enjoy happiness and recuperate, don't think about anything else."
"As for the Shenwu Army, guarding the capital, there are no specific matters that need to be taken care of by you."
"I put you there just to use your prestige to suppress the morale of the army."
"Besides, didn't I silently call Cheng Chu back to be your general?"
"Let him do those tedious military affairs."
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin on the side quit.
"Oh? Your Majesty."
"I beg you before, I beg you to transfer Cheng Chumo to the Shenwu Army, isn't it just to make him open his eyes and learn from Li Qiu."
"Let him also experience Li Qiu's martial arts and strategy, and let him know what it means to know that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people, so that he won't be complacent if he has some merits?"
"But Your Majesty, now this Li Qiu, this..."
Li Shimin blocked Cheng Yaojin's mouth just right at this time, "What?"
"It means that if I let Cheng Chumo follow Qin Qiong, I won't be able to learn martial arts and knowledge, so I won't be able to convince him, right?"
This sentence went directly to the outline and went online, holding back Cheng Yaojin's words.
At this time, the commander-in-chief Li Jing, who had been standing aside, said quietly, "Your Majesty, that's what you mean."
"Li Qiu, you can give him any amount of reward, the only thing is that he can't be bullied by the gentry, and he can't be allowed to take even the slightest risk, right?"
Chapter 118 I, Li Ke, Will Come Back
After hearing Li Jing's words, Li Shimin laughed out loud.
"Pharmacist, look at what you said."
"This reward for Li Qiu is entirely due to his achievements and the blessings that the Luo family has accumulated over the years."
"This time, even the queen persuaded me, saying that General Luo Cheng died miserably back then."
"But there is only such a daughter, and the royal family and the court can't make up for it."
"So, now I have to make up for it all."
"As for Li Qiu's future arrangement?"
"Let's talk about it after he gets married."
"By the way, you are all hungry too, and so am I!"
"Let us monarchs and ministers have some breakfast together in this Chengqing Hall."
……
At this moment, at the Kaiyuan Gate in the west of Chang'an City, the convoy of Hanzhong County King Li Ke was preparing to go out to his barren fief in the west of the Tang Dynasty.
The reason why I go to the most deserted Kaiyuanmen at this time is to avoid being seen by too many people and losing face.
But what he didn't want was that he happened to catch up with Wei Wang Li Tai's luxury motorcade passing by.
Then it stopped beside them.
"Oh, third brother?!"
"The carriages in your line of business are full of packages, where are they going?"
Looking at the loyal, surprised, and extremely caring expression of Wei Wang Li Tai in front of him, Li Ke felt as disgusted as eating shit.
This Li Tai is the most cunning and hypocritical. If it is said that he is clever, he is simply unmatched.
At this time (not yet seven o'clock in the morning), he was able to bump into him at this place, and it was obvious that this guy came to see his jokes on purpose.
"Hehe, so it's King Wei."
"I am ordered by my father to go to the fief to serve my life."
"But you are in such a hurry at this time, are you going out of the city?"
Seeing Li Ke's obviously unfriendly expression, Wei Wang Li Tai smiled.
"Look at what you said, third brother, I don't want to wait for this good Chang'an city, who is going to go to the desolate place outside to suffer and suffer?"
"Didn't I hear that a group of good Persian horses came to West Market recently, so I came to take a look."
"I didn't expect to run into you, third brother."
"Third brother, wait here for a while, I will pick a good horse and give it to you, third brother."
"In case third brother, your journey to the west is too long and too bumpy."
Seeing Li Tai's triumphant expression, Li Ke secretly hated him.
"Hmph, I appreciate King Wei's kindness."
"This horse is no longer needed, so farewell!"
After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and led the team out of the city with a cold face.
As for Li Tai, after Li Ke disappeared, the false smile on his face also disappeared.
Muttering softly in his mouth: "Oh, my third brother has always been arrogant and arrogant."
"Don't talk about me, he doesn't even care about the prince."
"How are you doing now? Can't you be proud?"
On the other side, Li Ke, after leading the team out of the city, looked back at Chang'an City with cold eyes, and opened the far door.
I swear in my heart: Li Qiu, Zhang Yungu, Changsun Wuji, Li Tai...you all wait for me!
One day I, Li Ke, will come back again!
At that time, let's do the math again!
After watching Li Ke's joke, Li Tai, who was in a good mood, really took a stroll around the very interesting West Market in Chang'an City under the guard of his entourage.
This Li Tai is Li Shimin's fourth son, a direct descendant.
