Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 119 Flooded Dragon King Temple

"Yuzhi, has the Hall of Xiande retreated?"

"If you go back to the empress, you have already retreated. Li Delu, the chief servant, said that your majesty has returned to the Ganlu Hall to rest."

In the Lizheng Palace, Empress Changsun was looking forward to the stars and the moon, but in the end she was looking forward to loneliness!
It seems that Erlang is really tired.

"Inform the Imperial Dining Room to prepare meals and snacks for His Majesty."

Empress Changsun moved to the Ganlu Hall.

Looking at Li Shimin who was already sleeping on the bed, Empress Changsun quietly exited the Ganlu Palace.

……

"Brother, where is our father?"

Chang Le stretched and walked out of the room.

When I woke up, the sun was shining on my buttocks.

"Lele, our father just left!"

Li Gen held his younger sister's hand with a smile, for fear that the little girl would be unhappy.

Then he spoke.

"Our father has been waiting for Lele to wake up, but after waiting, Lele's tax is still so sweet. He couldn't bear to wake you up. Time was running out, so he hurried on the road."

"It's all Lele's fault, I've slept till now."

The little girl looked very remorseful, and looked at Li Gen aggrieved.

"Lele doesn't need to blame himself. Our father will return to Chang'an City in a short time."

After hearing Li Gen's words, Chang Le said in surprise.

"really?"

In fact, our father has been in Chang'an City, so naturally Changle would not say this.

"Well, Dad said that the Longyou Road Salt Farm was attacked by Tuyuhun and Turks, and the salt road was also broken. Brother gave our dad the art of making salt. When His Majesty learns about this, he will definitely give our dad a promotion. .”

"Well, that would be great if that's the case."

Chang Le narrowed his eyes happily.

"Young master, according to your order, everything is ready."

Hearing Zhao Si's words, Li Gen nodded and said.

"Okay, let's go then!"

"Lele, stay with grandpa at home, brother will go to Chang'an City, and he will definitely be back at noon."

"Well, brother, be careful all the way."

Changle nodded obediently and sent it to the gate of the manor.

"Grandpa Huang, Brother Huang has gone out."

After watching the carriage go away, Chang Le came to the side of Li Yuan in the sweet potato field.

"Well, Grandpa Huang saw it, and he brought a lot of things with him!"

Li Yuan lay on the recliner, and said leisurely.

"Grandpa Huang, what did Brother Huang go to do? Why did you bring so many things?"

The little girl had a very puzzled expression.

"If Grandpa Huang's guess is correct, your brother is going to thank you. Now that he is the top student in high school, some people who have helped him will naturally go to thank him!"

.........

Zhao Si drove the carriage and stopped in front of the Hejian County King's Mansion.

"Young master, go and knock the door. I come to the palace every day to deliver food and drinks. The butler is very enthusiastic."

Li Gen got off the carriage and nodded with a smile.

Zhao Si knocked on the door knocker of the palace.

A benevolent old man opened the door.

"Zhao Si, why is it so early today?"

The old man smiled and said.

"Old man, the young master of my family is here to see the prince."

"It turns out that Zhuangyuan Lang is here, hurry up, please come inside!"

Li Gen clasped his fists and saluted.

"Thank you, old man!"

"Zhuangyuan Lang, I can't afford to be an old man! The prince and concubine both love your song Spring River Flower and Moon Night, and they are full of praise every day!"

"Now the dancers in the palace are singing the song "Chunjiang Huayueye!"

The old man led the way. This is Li Gen's second visit to the palace, and he is still shocked by the splendor in front of him!

"My lord, my concubine. The number one scholar has come to pay my respects to my lord and my concubine!"

"Oh, what a blessing!"

Li Xiaogong's hearty laughter came.

People also came out of the living room.

This made Li Gen very surprised and disturbed.

It stands to reason that he is a high-ranking prince, the cousin of today's son, who is also an important post in the Ministry of War.

The leading figure in Chang'an City.

"The junior has seen the prince!"

Li Gen bowed and saluted!

"The number one scholar, hurry up and get rid of the ceremony!"

Li Xiaogong stretched out his hand to support Li Gen!

"Ma'am, this is Li Gen, the number one scholar."

A stunningly beautiful woman appeared beside Li Xiaogong, Prince of Hejian County.

"Zhuangyuanlang is so young, but has such talent. It's really amazing. I don't know that the girl in that family will be blessed to be at the pillow of Zhuangyuanlang."

Wang Hao's words made Li Gen's ears turn red.

"Aifei, look at you, Zhuangyuan Lang's face is blushing from parade."

"Quick, let's talk in the living room!"

Li Gen followed the prince and princess into the living room.

Signal Zhao Si to move the gift in!

Zhao Si understood.

Soon came in with two baskets.

The bamboo baskets were all made by Li Gen himself. Now that the imperial examination has ended, Li Gen has nothing to do and has made many exquisite handicrafts.

"My lord, my concubine, this is a gift from this junior."

"At the beginning, if the prince hadn't come forward, the juniors would not have had the chance to meet Master Kong. If the prince hadn't come forward, the juniors might not be able to take the imperial examination today, and there would be no number one scholar today."

Li Xiaogong burst out laughing when he heard this.

"Zhuangyuanlang, I am very pleased. If I hadn't introduced you to Zhong Da, how could I have listened to this unparalleled spring river and moonlit night? How could I have heard it? Set up your heart for the world! Set up your life for the people! For the sake of the saints, to inherit the unique learning! To bring peace to the world! Such a sonorous, powerful, blood-boiling, heroic voice?"

"The number one scholar is so talented, it is amazing! The personality and character of the number one scholar makes me very pleased!"

"I am looking forward to the future performance of Zhuangyuan Lang. If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to speak to me."

The words of Hejian County King Li Xiaogong warmed Li Gen's heart.

Li Gen thought for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"My lord's words moved this junior very much. My lord, this junior really has something to do, I want to ask my lord for help!"

After listening to Li Gen's words, Li Xiaogong leaned forward slightly.

He opened his mouth and said, "Zhuangyuan Lang has something to do, but it's okay to say it!"

The servant girl of the palace brought the tea.

Li Gen took a sip of tea to moisten his slightly dry lips, and made up his mind to ask for help.

"My lord, my father, Li Fu, is an official in Jingyang. For example, tonight's grandpa and younger sister will be taken care of by the younger generation in Chang'an City."

"Grandpa is getting old, and my sister is still young. Without my father, this family is still incomplete after all."

Lee Hyo-gong interrupted Lee Gen with a sudden smile.

"Zhuangyuanlang, do you want your father to return to Chang'an City to serve?"

"What the lord said is very true. This junior thinks exactly so. I would like to ask the lord to give you some kind words in front of His Majesty. The junior heard that the Longyou Road Salt Field was attacked by Tuyuhun and the Turks, and the salt road was broken. The junior has given the art of making salt to you." For my father, with such a contribution, my father should be able to be promoted to a noble!"

Li Xiaogong narrowed his eyes, pretending to be in deep thought.

My heart is happy.
