I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Kong Yingda thanked her, turned and left in a hurry, but when she passed in front of Xu Fenglei, she suddenly turned back and bowed in salute.

"I have been taught..."

He whispered something before leaving.

Although I don't like Xu Fenglei's style very much, since I feel touched by listening to him imparting knowledge, of course I have to salute and thank him.

This is the rule!

"This sour scholar..."

Looking at his leaving back, Xu Fenglei couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.

"Kong Yingda is not considered a sour scholar, he is still very knowledgeable."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said,

"Otherwise, I wouldn't let him be the tutor of the princes."

"sit."

Xu Fenglei sat down in response, and took a sip of the tea brought by the maid.

"Whoa whoa! Whoa whoa!"

Li Zhi broke out again.

"Oh, childish slave, childish slave, you are really worried!"

The grandson Wugou held him in his arms and sighed,
"It's even more noisy than your two elder brothers. I don't know how much they will be when I grow up!"

"Good... good..."

Tucao belongs to Tucao, what should be coaxed has to be coaxed.

"Empress, why don't I come and give you a hug, so you can rest for a while?"

Xu Fenglei turned his head slightly and stretched out his hands.

"Okay, okay... Let Master hug, come..."

The eldest grandson Wugou nodded, and carefully sent the infant slave to Xu Fenglei, exhorting,

"This baby, he has a lot of energy! He is crying and making noises, and he doesn't stop for half an hour! You have to be careful, don't let him jump down."

Xu Fenglei smiled and took the child.

Li Zhi in the swaddling baby closed his eyes tightly, screaming loudly, wriggling his hands and feet restlessly, as if trying to break free.

"It's a good thing that the child is energetic."

He put his hand into the swaddle and gently pressed it against the child's back, he couldn't help shaking his head and said,

"But if you keep crying, there must be something uncomfortable. At this time, it is useless to rely on coaxing. You have to find out the crux."

"Look, the child's back is so hot, why wrap him in such a thick blanket?"

Changsun Wugou was slightly taken aback.

"The child is so young, he must be afraid of the cold, if there is some wind or something, it will be bad..."

She hesitated for a moment before responding.

"No, no, no."

Xu Fenglei loosened the blanket, removed a layer of thick fleece, and explained,
"In fact, the body temperature of a baby is higher than that of an adult. When a baby is born, that is when the yang energy is at its strongest. How could they be afraid of the cold?"

"It is necessary to keep warm, but not too much, otherwise the child's heat will not go out, and he will have a fever and even convulsions!"

"Look, his hot face is flushed! You can't think that the child should have more clothes if you feel cold yourself!"

The eldest grandson Wugou was stunned.

"So it's like this... I've raised children for so many years, and I really don't know!"

she murmured,

"It has to be written down."

After all, she actually took out her small notebook, took the pen and ink from the East Palace, and wrote her own "Children's Book".

"Listen, do you still understand this?"

Li Shimin threw a piece of fruit into his mouth and said with a smile,

"You never had a baby!"

When Xu Fenglei heard this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Your Majesty, at least I have studied medicine. There is pediatrics in the medical department. Even though I have never eaten pigs, I have seen pigs run! Of course I have common sense."

He shook the child in his arms and said,

"Here, the heat dissipates and the environment is comfortable, and the child will stop crying immediately."

"From now on, when he sees that he is hot or cold, I will touch his back. The junction of the back and the neck is Ojo. Once you touch Ojo, you will take off your clothes when it's hot, and add clothes when it's cold. That's right."

Swish swish.

The eldest grandson Wugou took notes and remembered them very carefully.

This is not only for her own sake, as the lord of the six palaces of the world, she has to teach other concubines, and even folk women how to raise children!

Li Shimin came over to take a look——

Hey, the child really closed his eyes, neither cried nor fussed, breathed evenly, and fell into a deep sleep all at once.

"It really works!"

Li Er rubbed his hands together and praised,
"What a childish slave, so cute, dear father..."

As he spoke, he had snatched the child from Xu Fenglei's arms, and put his beard on it.

"Your Majesty, take care of your own hygiene."

Xu Fenglei said silently,

"Children have weak immunity. If there is something unclean in the saliva on your beard, he will easily get sick if he gets it."

Changsun Wugou raised his head abruptly, and glanced at Li Shimin.

"Shut up!" she cried,
Li Er: "..."

"Okay, okay, then I won't kiss, and I will kiss when the childish slave grows up."

He retracted his mouth resentfully, and returned the child to Xu Fenglei.

"Father, kiss your baby! Babies are not afraid of getting dirty!"

The little fat pig Li Tai ran up and said with a smile,
"bring it on!"

He put half of his face in front of Li Shimin.

"Okay! Hahaha... Qingque is the best!"

Li Shimin leaned forward and chirped, and suddenly he was very happy, pulling Li Tai into his arms, and said with a smile,

"Come on, father, weigh yourself, you seem to have gained a little weight these days..."

Li Tai pouted.

"Boy eats normally and doesn't steal food, but it just grows meat, so there's nothing baby can do about it!"

He said with a distressed face,
"If you drink cold water, you will grow flesh, so what should you do?"

"My little sedan chair can't even sit on it now."

Li Shimin waved his hands again and again.

"It's okay! You can eat and drink if you want! You don't have so many worries!"

With a loving expression on his face, he said,
"It's a small problem that the sedan chair can't fit, and the emperor will ask the general supervisor to build you a bigger and more luxurious one! Okay?"

Li Tai's eyes lit up when he heard that.

Haw!

He also kissed Li Shimin on the face.

"Father is so kind to the child!"

"Hahahaha, good boy, really good boy..." Li Shimin was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

"I want to kiss, I want to kiss!"

Li Lizhi also came up together, slapped the father on the other side of the face, and then said expectantly,
"Father, is it fragrant?"

Li Shimin was sucked by his daughter, he was so happy!
"Sweet! It's so fragrant!"

He also hugged Li Lizhi into his arms, and laughed loudly,
"In the eyes of my father, Lizhi is fragrant all over! Come, give me a hug from my father!"

This one son and one daughter, under Cheng Huan's knees, made Li Er's mind more relaxed than ever before.

Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian wanted to raise his leg, but he struggled for a while, and finally stopped and did not step forward.

Li Ke also had low-pitched eyes and behaved well.

The love of parents for their children is selfless.

But if there are many children, there will naturally be a preference, which is inevitable.

Li Chengqian is the child that Li Shimin attaches the most importance to, and he has the highest expectations of him, of course there is no doubt about it.

However, he is definitely not the most favored one.

He knew this very early on...

As for Li Ke, let alone, he is not a descendant, so it is not bad to be able to stay in the East Palace to receive education!It is impossible to expect more pampering him.

"Chengqian, Ke'er, come here."

As if aware of the emotions of the two, the eldest grandson Wugou waved,
"I brought you some snacks today, mother made it herself, try it?"

When the two heard the words, their eyes lit up immediately.

Li Tai's ears pricked up in Li Shimin's arms.

"I want to eat I want to eat!"

Hearing that there was something delicious, he directly "betrayed", broke free from his father's arms, and went straight to his mother.

"I also want!"

Lizhi also shouted and rebelled together...

"These two little bastards! As soon as they heard that there was something to eat, they immediately betrayed the father!"

Li Shimin scolded with a smile, but he didn't take it seriously.

He turned his head slightly, looked at Xu Fenglei, and said casually:

"Listen, I heard that you recently adopted a foster brother?"

Xu Fenglei nodded while holding the child.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

he replied,

"I excavated it, a lump of gold from the folk, a real seedling of a famous general!"

"This kid's surname is Xue, his name is Li, and his style name is Rengui. He comes from a down-and-out branch of the Xue family in Hedong. When I saw him, he was working on a construction site."

After listening to this introduction, Li Shimin immediately became interested.

"Oh? General Miaozi?"

He continued,
"Tell me, tell me quickly..."

Xu Fenglei briefly narrated and reported what happened on the construction site of Chang'an Academy.

"Hmph! This chief surnamed Zhao really deserves to die!"

Li Shimin slapped the table and said angrily,

"He even dared to deduct the food and wages of the craftsmen, filling his own pocket!"

"I hate such corrupt officials the most! Has it been handed over to Dali Temple?!"

Xu Fenglei nodded.

"I turned him over to the Ministry of Punishment that day. He should have been transferred to Dali Temple for trial by officials of the Ministry of Punishment. I'm not very clear about the process here."

He said calmly,
"I asked about it yesterday, and Mr. Zhao has already been sentenced to death, and the process is already underway."

This statement is all true, but many details are omitted.

"Ah."

Only then did Li Shimin ease his expression, and said,

"My government advocates tolerance and tolerance, but not everyone can be lenient! Black sheep like this must be dealt with severely!"

"Don't worry, the Ministry of Punishment will submit a report when the time comes, and I will go straight to the decision!"

This kind of corrupt official itself is not terrible, what is terrible is that he will bring down the officialdom and social atmosphere, and make the clear politics dirty!

Therefore, severe punishment must be imposed to deter the officials!
"Your Majesty Shengming."

Xu Fenglei responded, and stopped talking too much, and immediately changed the topic and said,
"Afterwards, I brought Xue Rengui home and asked him to make up for his deficient body. At the same time, I also invited four generals, Li Jing, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, and Qin Qiong, to be his teachers."

"The three fierce generals taught him how to exercise his muscles and connect with martial arts, while Li Jing taught him the strategy of tactics and strategizing."

"Given time, this kid will be able to achieve something!"

Li Shimin's eyes flickered with brilliance.

Of course he knew about this!
After all, the four military generals gathered at the Grand Master's house to "plan", no matter how confident he was, he would inevitably feel a little shocked when he got the news!

If these guys are really plotting evil, then the dragon chair under his buttocks may really be lost!

Fortunately, after some investigation, I realized that there was no plan, but a simple meal, and a few generals took in an apprentice together.

This made Li Er involuntarily curious, and he only asked this question today.

"Being picked by you means that this child must have something extraordinary."

Li Shimin said in surprise,
"I'm not surprised by Yu Chigong and the others accepting apprentices. No matter what, they want to give you face, but Li Jing actually agreed?"

"He has high requirements for accepting apprentices! I think that young general Su Dingfang is good, and he dares to fight, but even he is only a nominal disciple of Li Jing!"

"How does your young general Xue compare to Su Dingfang?"

Xu Fenglei smiled slightly.

"The styles are different, so it's hard to judge the pros and cons."

he said,

"Su Dingfang likes to take risks. He has all kinds of whimsical ideas in his mind, which can be said to be unconstrained! He is also very courageous. When combined, if he dares to think and do things, he can often come up with extraordinary schemes and achieve extraordinary achievements!"

"As for Xue Rengui, although he is still laying the groundwork, judging from his personality, he is a steady general who pays attention to steady and steady fighting, and moves after planning. He is very similar to Wei Qing in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and also similar to Li Jing's style. , I think, this is why Li Jing accepted his apprentice so readily."

"Your Majesty thinks, should we use Qiyou or Zhengyou to use soldiers?"

Li Shimin waved his hand.

"Of course it depends on the situation!"

he said,

"When it's time to fight head-on, use the right path, and when it's time to make a surprise plan, use a clever plan! How can you go the same way?"

"However, as a general, it is better to use the right than the strange. A general who is good at using the strange can lead a partial division and can be a vanguard, but not a commander in chief."

Xu Fenglei nodded.

After all, Li Er is one of the most war-fighting emperors in history, and his understanding of war is still good, nothing wrong!
"That's fine."

he laughed,
"Ten or 20 years later, when the old generals wither and no one is available, His Majesty may use these two young generals and let them take the top."

"Xue Rengui is in command, and Su Dingfang is deputy, so my Tang army is still invincible!"

Li Shimin stroked his beard.

"This Xue Rengui, really has the potential as you said? Can he succeed Li Jing, Li Ji, and Yu Chigong?"

He doubted,

"Why don't I believe it!"

It's not that Li Er doesn't believe in Xu Fenglei, it's mainly because the matter is too bizarre-this future mainstay of the Tang Dynasty is actually a coolie picked up from the construction site?
This is too sloppy, isn't it?
"seeing is believing."

Xu Fenglei shrugged and said,
"It doesn't matter if your majesty doesn't believe it. After two years, you will know that what I said is absolutely true."

Li Shimin nodded.

"If it's as you said, it would be great!"

he sighed softly,

"I have been thinking for the past two days, what is the most important thing to pass on to this community?"

"Thinking about it, two words—"

"Talent." Xu Fenglei rushed to answer.

Li Er was so choked by him that his eyes almost popped out!
"Don't steal my words!"

He said angrily,

"...How do you know what I'm talking about is talent? Are you a worm in my stomach?"

Xu Fenglei grinned.

This is not easy. A famous uncle in later generations once said——

What is most important in the 21st century?

talent!
However, not only in the 21st century, but throughout the past 5000 years, the word "talent" is undoubtedly important!
