Chapter 744
Li Shimin was born in the army, especially fond of hunting. Even after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he never let go of hunting. That is, in the past two years, Li Shimin stopped this matter because of his unwell.

As soon as the news that Li Shimin wanted to go hunting in Kunming Lake came out, there were many voices of opposition in the court, but Li Shimin had already made up his mind and insisted on going his own way, so naturally no one could persuade him.

Zhenguan 20 years, early spring, Kunming Lake.

When the emperor went hunting, he was naturally followed like a cloud. In the south of Chang'an City, outside Kunming Lake, [-] forbidden troops camped in Kunming Lake. The military flags fluttered and fluttered in the wind, as if they were in battle.

In a large camp beside the Kunming Lake hunting ground, Emperor Li Shimin, Crown Prince Li Ke, and King Jin Li Zhi were sitting in the tent. All three were in armor, and there was an inexplicable tension in the atmosphere.

Li Kenian was twenty-eight, and Li Zhinian was only eighteen. The two of them were already handsome, and both were in their prime. Wearing bright armor, they naturally looked heroic, while Li Shimin on the side seemed a little weak.

Li Shimin was seriously ill, and he was even uncomfortable. Although he was wearing light armor now, it was not a small burden for Li Shimin's current physical condition.

Li Ke and Li Zhi knew what Li Shimin meant by doing this, so they felt a little nervous, but Li Shimin himself seemed much calmer.

Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi who was sitting beside him, and said with a smile to Li Ke: "Look, Keer, I never imagined that the childish slave who was worried about his father back then would be so heroic."

Li Zhi was less than a month old when he was born, and even more sick when he was young. Li Shimin once worried that Li Zhi would die young because of his frailty. Fortunately, Li Zhi's temperament was influenced by Li Ke. Actually grow up slowly, even better than ordinary people.

Li Ke also said with a smile: "Young slaves are still young, and you may not be able to draw a strong bow. If you wait for a few more years, I am afraid that you will be able to catch up with the heroism of the father. When the father goes out again, son The ministers and the young slaves are divided into the left and right wings for the father, and the father sits in the middle army, and he will be invincible."

Hearing this, Li Zhi also echoed from the side: "Although my son is not good at using soldiers, my father is a famous commander in the world, and his ability to use soldiers is second to none in the world. When the time comes, my father will personally guide me, and my son will definitely be able to do it."

"Hahaha" Li Shimin laughed heartily after listening to Li Ke's words, his eyes slowly became a little blurred, and he seemed to have really seen the scene of the next year's Eastern Expedition, where father and son went out together, and his eyes couldn't help getting a little moist. I just don't know if I laughed or not.

After a while, Li Shimin sighed: "I'm an old man, I don't know how long it will be, I'm afraid it may not be time for the young slaves to lead the army."

Li Shimin's words had just come to an end, Li Ke quickly said: "Father is not old, but you can't feel sorry for yourself. The chaos in Liaodong is still waiting for Father to put it down in person."

Li Shimin heard the words and said to Li Ke: "You must not rush to use troops in Liaodong, and repeat the mistakes of your father. Ke'er must keep in mind that with the establishment of armored soldiers, you can't get what you want. The righteousness is to stop fighting and expect to kill. Dong Conquering Goguryeo is not for the use of troops, but for the purpose of fighting."

Li Shimin had already prepared for his own fate, so talking to Li Ke now felt a little like entrusting his funeral.

The Battle of Liaodong has always been deeply in Li Shimin's heart. Although it is not regrettable, he is also a little annoyed, so he confessed a few more words to Li Ke.

Upon hearing this, Li Ke replied: "What the father said is recorded in the "Emperor Fan", and the sons and ministers study it every day. The father is at ease, and the sons and ministers will definitely remember it in their hearts."

The "Emperor Fan" Li Ke said is a classic written by Li Shimin in the past two years, which records Li Shimin's experience and lessons in being an emperor all his life. Li Shimin just finished the book in the middle of last year and gave it to Li Ke.

The father and son talked for a while in the tent again, and after more than a stick of incense, Cheng Zhijie ordered someone to spread the word, saying that the Kunming Pond had been cleared, and Li Shimin and his ministers could enter to hunt.

When Li Shimin got the news, he left the big tent. After Li Shimin left the tent, his attendant Chang Tu also brought Li Shimin's horse over and brought him to Li Shimin.

In the past, Li Shimin was in good health, naturally strong, and getting on the horse was just a matter of raising his hands, but today is different. Now Li Shimin's body is very weak, and he can't get on the horse as before. Some strenuous.

Seeing this, Li Ke winked at Li Zhi on the side. Li Zhi knew what Li Ke meant, and quickly stepped forward to support Li Shimin, and slowly helped Li Shimin onto the horse.

Li Ke is the prince, already in charge of his own affairs, Li Shimin is even stronger in front of Li Ke, so if Li Ke goes to help, Li Shimin will probably not allow it, but Li Zhi is the youngest son, in Li Shimin's eyes he is always a child, Li Zhi goes to help On the contrary, Li Shimin would accept it.

Li Shimin was born in a famous family, and the Li family has been in the army for generations. Li Shimin joined the army as a young man and conquered the world. He spent half his life on horseback. On the battlefield of tens of thousands of horses, he returned to the place he was all too familiar with.

Slowly, Li Shimin's originally weak hands gained strength, his expression became resolute, and even his cloudy eyes became clear.

At this moment, he is no longer a patient suffering from a serious illness. He is Li Shimin, the emperor on horseback who has gone through thousands of years of history.It is Li Shimin who won the country in a hundred battles, stepped on the bones of countless heroes in the late Sui Dynasty, and made the world look up to him.

"Hahaha, riding a horse all over the world is where the heroes are. How can a man do it when he is dying and sick. I hold a three-foot sword, and within a few years, I have been fighting all over the world. I have experienced hundreds of battles and have been invincible. How can I be sick and bedridden?" A couch, a dying person." Li Shimin held the reins in his hand and laughed loudly.

Standing beside Li Shimin, Li Ke looked at Li Shimin's appearance, and there was something indescribable in his heart, mixed, whether it was sadness, relief, worry, or excitement, Li Ke himself didn't know.

But Li Ke knows Li Shimin's physical condition, and also knows what Li Shimin's actions mean, but Li Ke will not obstruct Li Shimin's choice, because only this is Li Shimin, the one who will conquer the world and look down on the world all his life. Li Shimin is the father who obviously has flesh and blood and loves his sons and daughters, but makes him look up to him like a god.

This is the glory of the Tang emperor, the stubbornness of Tian Khan, and the pride of Li Shimin alone!

Li Shimin's words were heard, and Li Ke heard them like thunder. Standing in front of Li Shimin's horse, Li Ke stood in front of Li Shimin's horse, his eyes were reddish, and his expression was solemn. I am here to welcome my father's triumphant return."

"it is good!"

Li Shimin sat on the horse's back, and listening to Li Ke's words, he was in a good mood. His legs clamped the horse's belly, and he rode out like an arrow off the string. Immediately afterwards, Li Ke heard Li Shimin coming with the wind. loud shouts.

"Raising the long sword generously, how can we invite fame to help the world. The stars and flags are raised with lightning, and the sun and feathers are flying in the sky. Thousands of horses are stationed in the wild, and the fifth battalion is stationed in Linyuan. Mountaineering and martial arts festival, back to the water and the gods. Now the universe is at peace!"
