Chapter 658
Chapter 654

On the night of Xiaonian, Empress Changsun hosted a banquet for those sons in the Lizheng Hall. No matter which concubine gave birth to them, they were all her sons, and they all called Empress Changsun the queen mother.In the afternoon, those princes arrived one after another. The young princes came here under the leadership of those concubines.
The elder prince also brought his concubine and children here.Now those children are gathered in the greenhouse. Empress Changsun also smiled when she saw this scene, and Li Shimin was even happier. With so many sons and grandsons, how can he be unhappy?
Soon, Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, Li Ke, and Li Tai were sitting in another tea room drinking tea, and there was a lot of noise outside.

"These brats are lawless!" Li Shimin said with a smile looking outside.

"That's right, it seemed to be the same when we were young!" Li Chengqian also said with a smile.

"Well, that's fine, I used to stay in the palace every day, but now I can come out and see so many brothers, it's a good thing, isn't it?" Li Ke also said with a smile.

"This year is not bad. The three of you are very good. Father is very satisfied, and father also relieved a lot of things. Gao Ming helped father deal with the government affairs. Ke'er stared at the Overwatch Council and found a lot of corrupt people. official,
And Qingque, you are not bad either. To my father's surprise, you have managed the Jingzhao Mansion well, and you have not managed much. The expansion of the city was also established in your hands. It is very good. In terms of money, there is nothing problem? Li Shimin looked at them with a smile and asked, and finally asked Li Tai.

"No problem, we still have enough money and food. If the tax money comes down next year, it will be enough. For other things, Jingzhao Mansion has done almost the same. The roads have been repaired, and the housing for the people has also been repaired. Now The matter of the city, the main thing is this matter,

If the city is repaired, I plan to build bridges on the Weihe River and the Bahe River again. The current bridges are all filled with people, and they can still be blocked by a frightened horse, so I want to build two more! " Li Tai sat there, looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Well, yes, this is a matter for your Jingzhao Mansion. If Jingzhao Mansion has money, then Jingzhao Mansion will repair it. If not, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will pay for it. No problem!" Li Shimin nodded and said with satisfaction.

"Yes, father, I guess the problem is not big, but the construction period can't catch up now, and it's too cold now, so we can only prepare those materials. However, the materials are ready, and the construction will be fast when the time comes, right?" Li Tai Still smiling and reporting.

"Okay, this is good!" Li Shimin nodded. He has nothing to criticize about Li Tai. He is eager to learn and can do practical things. Now those civil servants admire Li Tai very much.

"Father, I have a request. I want to serve as governor of Taiyuan, and I want to govern Taiyuan well. I have never managed a place before, so I can't share things with my father. I think Taiyuan is our hometown. I It is not bad to build Taiyuan well!" Li Ke said while sitting there at the moment, cupping his hands at Li Shimin.

"Oh, to manage Taiyuan, do you have those workshops?" Li Shimin nodded when he heard it, and asked Li Ke.

"I don't have any, but I can attract workshops to build in Taiyuan. In addition, I want to ask my brother-in-law for help. I hope my brother-in-law can agree to let some workshops go to Taiyuan!" Li Ke immediately said to Li Shimin.

"Well, my father can't agree to this right now. My father wants to build a big city in Dingzhou. This place is too far away from the northeast, so it's not easy to control. So if I want to build a big city in Dingzhou, it's better to station troops. No matter how it develops, at the very least, after our Tang army arrives there, we can completely control the Northeast, and the Northeast cannot be in chaos!" Li Shimin said as he sat there.

"Ah, building a city in Dingzhou?" Li Chengqian and the others looked at Li Shimin in surprise. They had never heard of this news before, but now that Li Shimin said that, it really surprised them.

"However, I haven't talked to Shen Yong about this matter. It's just an idea, and I don't have a specific plan yet. I want to ask Shen Yong about this matter. How large a city will be built? How small is the city now? Certainly not, now that the Tang Dynasty has money, since it wants to completely control the Northeast, it must repair the city and have enough troops stationed there." Li Shimin looked at them and said.

"That's right, it's too far from the northeast here, so it's okay!" Li Chengqian nodded and said after hearing this.

"Then, father, I will go?" Li Ke said a little excitedly at the moment.

"Well, how about this, after the next year, you will be the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion, and you will help Qingque build a new city. When the time comes, you will go to the city of Dingzhou. Even if you want to go to Taiyuan, you still need to learn some management skills. Qingque has a lot of experience in the city!" Li Shimin thought about it and said to Li Ke.

"Yes, father!" Li Ke heard Li Shimin say this, and said happily, as long as there is a chance, it is also very good to be the young minister of the Jingzhao Mansion. Soon, it is time for the dinner party.
And in Wei Hao's residence, Wei Hao's family also held a dinner party, and the old people in the family also took it over. Everyone sat and ate together. After the meal, Wei Hao went back to the study, looked at the materials,

As for Wei Chen, he is also going back to the capital for the New Year this year, and he probably will be back tomorrow afternoon. Wei Furong also sent someone to clean his house, and the things that should be bought have also been bought. They just need to come back on the line,

In the afternoon of the next day, Wei Hao greeted Wei Chen outside Chang'an City. When it was getting dark, a large number of carriages came. Wei Chen saw that it was Wei Hao who was welcoming him.Also got off the carriage.

"Big brother!"

"Hey, Shenyong, why are you still here? It's so cold, when did you come out?" Wei Shen got out of the carriage and asked Wei Hao with a smile.

"I came out yesterday, let's go, go home!" Wei Hao said with a smile, and soon a group of people rushed to the capital, sent Wei Chen to the house, Wei Hao sat there chatting for a while, and then went back ,

Wei Chen and his family are also very tired from the journey.
In the next few days, Wei Hao just had nothing to do, just walking around, those nobles are now returning to the capital one after another, Wei Hao will go to visit,
On the day of the 28th, everyone who should move moved around, and there was nothing to do, just waiting for the New Year,
At this time, someone from the palace came, saying that Li Shimin wanted to meet him in Chengtian Palace.

"It's all on vacation, what else?" Wei Hao looked at the eunuch in surprise.

"It seems that there is nothing wrong, but His Majesty may feel bored and wants to chat with you!" The eunuch thought about it and said.

"It's okay to chat, just don't mess with things!" Wei Hao felt much more relaxed when he heard that it was chatting, as long as it wasn't serious business, Wei Hao soon arrived at the fifth floor of Chengtian Palace, where Li Shimin was bored on the fifth floor. flower.

"I have seen my father!" Wei Hao went over and saluted.

"Come here quickly, I'm so bored, I can't go fishing, I can only hide here, come, come and drink tea, my father also sent someone to inform Gao Ming, today, just the three of us chat and drink tea!" Li Shimin said happily when he saw Wei Hao coming.

"Okay, I'm also bored at home, I should visit, I have visited, and now I have nowhere to go." Wei Hao nodded and said.

"I have nowhere to go, so I don't know how to come here? Look, you kid is so lazy now, you don't even come here?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said dissatisfied.

"Father, why did I come here when I have nothing to do? Who knows when you will be free or not?" Wei Hao also looked at Li Shimin helplessly and said.

"Okay, you make tea!" Li Shimin didn't care too much, he also knew that Wei Hao was very lazy, and he didn't move as much as he could.
On the other side of the East Palace, Li Chengqian also received news that his father had summoned him.

"What's wrong with being summoned at this time?" Su Mei looked at Li Chengqian and asked, it was a rare time to rest today, but unexpectedly, she was summoned into the palace.

"It's probably not a big deal. It's okay. Let's go and have a look!" Li Chengqian said to Su Mei. The tea is brewed.

"Well, sit down and talk, there is nothing wrong, just chatting casually, whatever is discussed." Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian to sit down.

"Okay, I haven't been so idle for a long time." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Why not, didn't you rest in Qujiang for a few days before?" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian, knowing that this kid was complaining, complaining that he had given all those things to him now.

"Hey, I'm still comfortable, this is life, what do you want to do, father, now Luoyang Mansion, but I don't need to go, and I don't need to go, the plan over there has been done, Wei Chen has nothing to do over there, but starting this autumn, it will be much easier, although there are still some things to do next year, but not many!" Wei Hao said with a proud smile.

"You, don't be like this, father, otherwise, I will be too busy to ask Shen Yong to help me!" Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.

"Ask him, of course it's best if he's willing to go. Look at the present, hiding at home and not coming out. People who don't know think you are a girl who hasn't left the cabinet!" Li Shimin was also dissatisfied with Wei Hao Said.

"I'm not going, I'm not going anywhere, now you ask me to go, why don't I go, as long as I get the food, other things are not so important, this problem is solved, the people will be able to I live and work in peace and contentment, and there are no major problems in Datang, so why should I care so much?
I'm going to wake up to the rumors this time, but I don't care about anything, by the way, father, otherwise, you can take the governor of Luoyang back, right? "Wei Hao thought of this, looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Don't even think about it!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said dissatisfied.

"What's the matter, as a Luoyang governor, I don't have a lot of money, and I'm not short of that money. Why bother, can't you let someone else do it?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin very unhappy and said.

"Impossible, Luoyang needs you to sit in the township, I know, you don't want to be, but there is not much to do as the governor of Luoyang now, right?

I don't know you yet, it's easy to let you go back, and it's not that easy to let you come out, that's it, besides, what are you afraid of those rumors, others don't know you, Father doesn't know you yet, don't think I don't I know, you don't care about the family affairs now, and let my daughter take care of them, and you don't take the baby with you. Last time Li Lizhi came back, she complained! "Li Shimin sat there, pointing at Wei Hao and said.

"Isn't someone taking care of it? Why do I need to take care of it, and take care of the baby, father, you have taken care of more than 20 babies at a time, no, one shouted daddy, and all those people followed suit. If you don't respond to him, he will keep shouting." , Headache!" Sitting there, Wei Hao also began to say depressed.When Li Chengqian heard it, he also laughed.

"Who is to blame? You said it yourself. You want to get so many women. Now that you have more children, do you still have an opinion?" Li Shimin couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, anyway, I don't want to bring a baby. I told Lizhi, let me go to earn money, don't let me bring a digging baby, I'd rather go to labor than bring a baby!" Wei Hao said with a wave of his hand.

"That's right!" Li Chengqian said with the same feeling.

"Well, but, Shenyong, my father is thinking about building a city in Dingzhou. The big city is not the current Dingzhou city. This is too small. What do you think?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked stand up.

"Father wants to completely control the Northeast?" Wei Hao asked after hearing this, looking at Li Shimin.

"That's right, to completely control the Northeast, I am worried that Chang'an is too far away from the Northeast, and it will be difficult to control it at that time. There is no problem now, but in the future, so the new Dingzhou City, whether it is to station troops or develop workshops Okay, it doesn't matter!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and nodded.

"Yes, absolutely. Anyway, now that the Ministry of Civil Affairs has money and internal funds, it is not a big problem to build a city, and once the city is repaired, those wealthy families in the vicinity will definitely settle in Dingzhou City! The population will also increase very quickly!" Wei Hao nodded to Li Shimin and said.

"Well, I also mean the same thing. In addition, I haven't talked to Chang Sun Chong about the matter of handling Changsun Wuji. Changsun Chong has visited your mother several times. Your mother told him, but she didn't say anything formally. I don't know if Chang Sun Chong will agree." Li Shimin continued.

"Yes? After all, my uncle has done a lot of stupid things in the past few years, and Chang Sun Chong also knows it. Now it's the best result. Instead, I'm worried about the other eldest grandchildren. Chong was very dissatisfied, saying that he didn't help his father, and I don't know the specifics." Wei Hao smiled and said, it's just a small talk anyway, he can say anything.
