Chapter 548 Martial Arts County King
The queen's funeral is also a major event in the court, although it is not as solemn as when the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan passed away, but because of Li Shimin's emphasis, the etiquette is not inferior, and he is meticulous.

A few days before and after the funeral of Empress Changsun, the city was full of grief. When Empress Changsun's coffin was buried in Zhaoling on Jiuyi Mountain, it was the last day of the end of winter and the last day of the 11th year of Zhenguan.

"Hutou, since you opened the mansion and built teeth, I haven't been to your mansion a few times for my father, right?" After the empress Changsun was buried properly, Li Shimin returned to the palace and passed Yankangfang, and suddenly remembered Li Ke's Chu Palace. Here, so he said to Li Ke.

Li Ke replied: "My son has been stationed abroad all year round, not only my father, but also my son who has not stayed in Chang'an Mansion for many days, I'm afraid it's not as good as in the camp."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "You were born in the army, that's the case, and it was the same when your father was young."

Li Ke replied: "What Dad said is that my son is in his prime, and it is time to defend the border for the country. How can he be greedy for a moment of tenderness?"

Li Shimin asked again: "How about things in the northern part of Mo, is everything in order?"

Li Ke replied truthfully: "Everything in Mobei has been decided, and the big idea has almost been taken, and the rest are mostly trivial things."

Li Shimin said: "This is the best. After the New Year's Eve, you don't have to rush back to Hedong. You can stay in Chang'an first, and then go north in summer. Now that the northern affairs have been decided, you don't have to stay in Hedong all the time. Qiu sits in the town and can arrange it by himself."

Li Ke combined the two positions of Governor of Bingzhou and General You Xiaowei. He was a border commander and held an important position in the Imperial Army. His position was high and powerful, and his status was extremely sensitive. Generally speaking, he was naturally not allowed to enter Beijing at will. But Li Shimin set a precedent, allowing Li Ke to stay in Chang'an and Taiyuan for a long time, and arrange it by himself, which is really surprising.

Li Ke asked in bewilderment: "I'm afraid this matter is not in accordance with the rules. How can Father highlight this statement?"

Li Shimin said: "This is not my whim, but something I have been thinking about for a long time in the past few days. The queen is dead, and there is no one in the harem and clan. Your aunt can help take care of the harem. It should be fine, but the clan really needs it." Someone is intimidating in Beijing, otherwise those brothers who are fathers should jump up and down again."

Li Ke asked: "It is enough for the clan to have its own prince and brother in Beijing. Why do we need sons and ministers?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Prince, as long as you know the importance and reason of everything you do, the matter will not be where it is today. Do you think the prince's current popularity and virtue can keep the clan in check?"

Li Shimin paused, and then said: "Besides, the young slaves are still young, and there must be an older brother in Beijing to control them. If you are not in Beijing, those princes will follow the example of the prince, so pay it back." have to."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, it is obvious that he is quite dissatisfied with Li Chengqian. In fact, Li Ke also knows the reason why Li Shimin is dissatisfied with Li Chengqian.Although Empress Changsun died of a serious illness, she also died because of Li Chengqian's ignorance and hard work. It is impossible for Li Shimin to not mind it.

Li Ke said: "If you teach your younger brothers, this is what my son should do before his mother dies. Of course, my son is obliged to do so. But there is still a prince in the clan, so my son should take the prince as the main one and assist the prime minister at the left and right."

What Li Ke said, on the contrary, made Li Shimin more at ease and fond of him. Before that, someone once suggested to Li Shimin that Li Ke, the king of Chu, is already the son of the eldest son, and he is in charge of a lot of power. It can be seen that Li Ke's meaning now is not at all inflated by the establishment of a heir, but still respectful.

Li Shimin said: "You act safely, it's good to have you by your side, so let's settle this matter."

"No." Li Ke responded.

Following Li Ke's response, Li Ke's whereabouts in the next year has been determined, and he will not be able to leave Chang'an for a while.

Li Shimin pointed in the direction of Prince Chu's mansion, and continued: "My father hasn't been to your mansion for a few days, and I just have time today, so let's go, my father will accompany you to the mansion to see Yan'er."

The 璄'er in Li Shimin's mouth is Li 璄, Li Ke's eldest son. This is the name Li Shimin took when he first learned that Li Ke had a son.

For "璄", the character Wang is Bian, which means the splendor of beautiful jade. The king holds jade, which is extremely expensive. Just from the word "璄", we can know that Li Shimin loves and values ​​his grandson.

Li Ke was already extremely favored by Li Shimin, and Li Shimin was very happy to have an eldest son in Chu's palace, but he was busy with the funeral of the eldest grandson lately, so he had no time or mood to leave.

This time, Empress Changsun has been buried in peace, and Li Shimin will go to Chu Palace to visit his grandson as soon as he has free time.

Li Ke's king of Chu monopolized most of the area in Yankang Fang. Li Shimin and Li Ke turned a corner outside Yankang Fang and arrived at the gate of Chu Wangfu. When Li Shimin entered the gate, he and Li Ke went straight to the inner courtyard.

In the main room of the inner courtyard of the Prince Chu's mansion, Princess Wu Meiniang of Chu had just received the news that Li Shimin was coming, and she was sitting by the bed waiting.

"My son pays homage to the emperor." Wu Meiniang saw Li Shimin entering, so she got up to pay her respects.

Seeing this, Li Shimin quickly stepped forward and raised his hands to help Wu Meiniang, saying: "My son is still within a month, there is no need to salute, sit down and rest."

"Thank you, father." Wu Meiniang sat back and thanked Li Shimin.

After Wu Meiniang sat down, Li Shimin stretched out his hand to take his grandson from the woman beside him, and shook his arms gently.

Li Ke and Li Shimin's looks are quite similar, and Li Fan's outline is similar to Li Ke's, so naturally he is somewhat similar to Li Shimin.Li Fan was not afraid of being held in Li Shimin's arms, but smiled at Li Shimin "giggling". Li Shimin looked at the grandson in his arms, and fell in love with him more and more.

Li Shimin looked at his grandson, his eyes were full of doting, and he had a rare smile these days, and said to Li Ke: "My grandson is very similar to Ke'er when he was young, very interesting."

Li Ke said: "A few days ago, my mother also saw Li Fan, and she said the same thing."

Li Shimin nodded, and Li Ke asked, "Do you have any ideas about the title of Yan'er?"

Li Ke replied: "How about settling in Heng'an?"

When Li Shimin heard the words, he immediately shook his head and vetoed, "You're still young, and you're your eldest son. What's it like to be in a wilderness like Heng'an?"

Li Shimin loves little Li Fan very much, and feels that the barren northern Heng'an has wronged him, so it's better to stay by his side, so he asked Chang Tu behind him: "Guanzhong is rich, so it can be a place for Li Zhen to live in, and Guanzhong can be rich." Is there any room left?"

Chang Tu thought for a while and replied: "All the titles in Guanzhong have already been claimed, and the only thing that is better is martial arts."

Hearing this, Li Ke hurriedly said: "This is absolutely impossible, Huan'er is just a tongue-twisting child, how dare he be called martial arts."

Li Jing is the eldest son of Li Ke, and Li Ke is also the son of Li Shimin. It is reasonable to say that it is not wrong to be sealed in Guanzhong, but the whole Guanzhong is generally average except for the Gyeonggi area, and only the place of martial arts is an exception among exceptions. .

This is not only because martial arts is located in Jingzhao and is close to the capital, but also because Li Shimin was born in martial arts. The place of martial arts has a unique meaning for the entire Tang Dynasty, how can martial arts be sealed out.

Although Li Ke declined the name of martial arts on behalf of Li Fan, Li Shimin seemed to be very satisfied with this title. Li Shimin looked down at Li Fan and asked, "Pin'er still likes the name of martial arts."

Li Fan was young and still couldn't understand the words, how could he know the great meaning behind the word "martial arts", he just thought it was Grandpa teasing him, and he laughed unconsciously.

Seeing this, Li Shimin was overjoyed, and immediately responded: "Since Hun'er also likes martial arts, then let's focus on martial arts. In the future, Hun'er will be my first martial arts county king in the Tang Dynasty."
