Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 140 The water is too deep, you can be careful,
"Besides, we Changle have been away for more than two months."

"Erlang, don't you want Changle to return to the palace?"

Empress Changsun's words made Li Shimin speak with a smile.

"From now on, if Changle wants to go back to the palace, she can go back to the palace, and if she wants to stay in the manor for a few days, let her go to the manor for a few days!"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Empress Changsun was full of doubts.

However, soon, Empress Changsun thought of the key point!
"Erlang, what do you mean, your Jingyang county magistrate quit?"

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Hearing what Empress Changsun said, Li Shimin laughed so hard that tears almost came out.

After a long while, Li Shimin stopped laughing.

"Guanyin maidservant, Guanyin maidservant! The magistrate of Jingyang County, I, don't mind doing it!"

This time, Li Shimin made Empress Changsun laugh again.

"Erlang, if you quit Jingyang county magistrate, you must have a decent official position, right?"

"That's right, this world belongs to me, and I can appoint officials as I like, but now Gen'er knows more and more people and officials in Chang'an City."

"Zhen, this time it's really done seamlessly, we can't let that kid see the clues!"

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Empress Zhangsun pursed her lips and started to laugh.

"Erlang, how can you discuss with Gen'er about running a school?"

Li Shimin held Empress Changsun's hand and said.

"Is there anything negotiable about this? I will tell him directly. It is His Majesty's intention. For the sake of my future, his boy, can he not agree?"

"I can promise, I can definitely promise!"

Empress Changsun's words fell to the ground, and the two laughed happily in the Lizheng Hall.

After the morning of the second day.

Li Shimin got into the carriage and set out on the road. The driver of the carriage was naturally the commander of Baiqisi, Li Junxian!

Li Shimin was very happy when the carriage left Mingde Gate.

Look up.

Large patches of sweet potato seedlings cover the entire land.

Such a scene appeared in such a year of drought and locust plagues.

It is unprecedented!
But he, Li Shimin, did it.

There is no reason for it!

Because he has an excellent son!

Set your mind for heaven and earth!
Live for the people!
For the sake of the pilgrimage to the saints!

Peace for the world!

Whenever he thinks of these four sentences, Li Shimin's blood boils all over his body!

Inside the manor.

Li Gen is tutoring Lele's homework.

Because at this time the autumn air is crisp.

Li Gen asked Lele to study and study outside.

Of course not in the sun.

The four dogs lined up, basking in the sun beautifully.

Suddenly, the four dogs stood up at the same time.

After sniffing hard, he started shaking his head and running towards the gate of the manor.

"Brother, Brother Chumo must be here, he must be hungry again."

Chang Le raised his head, pouted his mouth, and said.

"Lele, something is wrong. If brother Chu Mo came, the four of them would not be so happy."

"Lele, maybe our father is here!"

After Li Gen finished speaking, he took his sister's hand and walked quickly to the door.

"father……"

Changle let go of her feet and ran forward.

Li Shimin opened his arms and lifted Changle high.

"Father, is the queen mother okay? My son misses the queen mother!"

"Well, your mother also misses her little princess very much."

The father and daughter whispered a few whispers.

"Brother, it's really our father who came back!"

Chang Le giggled happily.

"My son has met my father, my father has worked hard all the way!"

Li Gen saw that Brother Li also came with his father, and knew that this time he should be transferred to Chang'an City.

"Gen'er, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to be promising again and be conferred the title of Marquis of Lantian by His Majesty!"

"Father is so happy. Today, father will tell you a piece of good news. When you come back this time, you won't be going back to Jingyang."

Li Gen nodded happily when he heard the words, and Chang Le slapped his hands happily.

"Oh, oh, oh, that's great, Dad won't leave in the future!"

"Father, let's talk about it when we go home!"

After listening to Li Gen's words, Li Shimin nodded with a smile.

"Okay, go home!"

Li Shimin strode towards the manor.

Li Gen and Chang Le followed closely from left to right.

"Grandpa, my father is back, and this time, he will never leave Chang'an City again."

Li Gen loudly shared his joy with his grandfather.

The corner of Li Yuan's mouth twitched, your father never left Chang'an City.

However, Li Yuan continued to say a few good words, and followed happily to the room.

Chunmei and Chunlan saw that the master had returned.

Without the young master's order, the tea was served immediately.

"Father, when you come back this time, you must have been promoted?"

"Well, thanks to you, father was indeed promoted this time."

Li Shimin picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea beautifully.

"What official status is father now?"

After listening to Li Gen's words.

Li Shimin put down the teacup and said with a smile.

"Gen'er, take a guess."

"Father, aren't you embarrassing the child? This is even more difficult than taking the number one prize!"

Li Gen's words made everyone laugh.

"Hurry up and tell my eldest grandson, don't be silly!"

At the critical moment, Li Yuan's words are still useful.

Li Shimin had to act like a filial son in front of his son and daughter!
"Father, Gen'er, Lele, this time I was appointed by His Majesty as the Prime Minister of Dali Temple!"

Hearing this, Li Gen was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

"My boy congratulates my father for being promoted to five levels in a row. This is something that my boy never dreamed of."

After all, the Hejian County King said frankly that if he was promoted to three levels in a row, it would be a big deal.

The prime minister of Dali Temple, from the fifth rank!
The magistrate of Jingyang County is on the seventh rank!

In the middle, there is one from the sixth rank, one from the sixth rank, one from the sixth rank, and one from the fifth rank!
"There is light, there is light, immediately start slaughtering chickens and sheep. Today, Benhou, I will give it to the Chancellor of Dali Temple to clean up the dust."

Following Li Gen's order, there was soon a sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the manor.

Li Gen cooked the kitchen himself and cooked a large table full of delicious dishes.

"Father, I would like to offer you a toast. You have a bright future now, and you have truly set foot on the court."

Li Gen frequently toasted!

Li Shimin is also full of pride.

"Father, there are no outsiders here, so my son will tell you something from the bottom of his heart."

"Set foot on the court, although it is a good thing, it is also dangerous at any time!"

After hearing Li Gen's words, Li Shimin's expression became serious.

"Gen'er, what do you mean by that?"

"Father, you are now a fifth-rank official, and the lowest official in the court, and your position is Dali Temple Cheng, you must be careful in everything!"

After hearing Li Gen's answer, Li Shimin leaned forward slightly.

"I have something to say, but it's okay to say it!"

"Father, Dali Temple is responsible for all criminal and prison cases. The water here is too deep!"

Li Gen's words made Li Shimin's face full of doubts.

"Gen'er, the water is too deep? What do you mean? As far as my father knows, there are no lakes or rivers in Dali Temple!"

Hearing this, Li Gen scratched his head and said.

"Father, my son is just talking fast for a while. My son wants to tell my father that the officialdom is complicated and everything needs to be cautious."

In front of Li Yuan and Chang Le, Li Shimin didn't want to be pointed out by his son again.

So Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Gen'er, my father understands what you mean."

"My father has now engraved those four sentences in my heart!"

"Set up your heart for the world! Set up your life for the people! For the sages of the past! Create peace for the world!"

"Although I work for Dali Temple for my father, I will definitely judge the case impartially for my father, and I will never bend the law for personal gain and accept bribes from others!"

After listening to his father's words, Li Gen raised his wine glass with a smile.

"Father, I would like to offer you another toast. Dad, there are many cases in Dali Temple. As long as Daddy handles it fairly and has a clear conscience, I will always support you!"

The father and son raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp!

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food!
Li Shimin felt that it was time to express his intentions.

So Li Shimin said seriously.

"Gen'er, Your Majesty has something to do. I want Weifu to ask you what you mean."

"Oh, could it be that because of the young age of the child, even if the examination paper of the Ministry of Officials is the best, he cannot be appointed as an official?"

"It doesn't matter, the boy is now the Marquis of Lantian, with 120 households in the city, which is even more impressive than his father's salary!"

"Besides, there are so many shops in our family now, and every shop is making a lot of money every day. There will be so much money in the family that there will be nowhere to put it!"

"What's more, once you start an official career, you won't have such an unfettered life. My child still wants to be comfortable for a few more years!"

After listening to Li Gen's words, Li Shimin felt that the critical blow hurt a lot.

Fortunately, my son's money is my father's money.

Thinking of this, a smile instantly appeared on Li Shimin's face.

"Gen'er can think like this, and I feel very gratified for my father. To be honest, His Majesty has a very good impression of Gen'er. After the last trial strategy exam was over that day, Gen'er suddenly..."

"Father, what did you say just now, what exactly does His Majesty want the child to do?"

As soon as Li Gen heard that his father was about to talk about his sudden fainting after the exam, he quickly interrupted his father's topic.

It seems that my father was really seen by His Majesty. Now that this matter has passed, I have concealed it from my grandfather and Lele for so long, so I naturally don't want to bring it up again.

Li Shimin was happy.

Hey!
Today I will let you see what is real, ginger is still old and spicy!
"Gen'er, as a father, I didn't expect that His Majesty has already met you and has a good impression of you. As for the palace examination next spring, His Majesty said that it doesn't matter whether you take part or not."

"However, there is an important matter right now, and His Majesty wants you to do it, so let Weifu ask you what you mean."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Li Gen.

"Father, since it's His Majesty's intention, my son will naturally go all out to do it, and if my son is done, Daddy's face will be radiant!"

After listening to Li Gen's words, Li Shimin nodded with a smile.

"Gen'er, with your words, I can feel at ease as a father. Your Majesty specifically told me not to make things difficult for you."

"Your Majesty, you are now famous all over the world. The song "Spring River Flowers and Moonlight Night" has spread throughout the north and south of the river. The method of engraving books invented has benefited the young men of the entire Tang Dynasty."

"For this reason, His Majesty wants to build a new academy, which Gen'er will take care of personally. His Majesty hopes that you can teach more and better talents for the court to use!"

Hearing this, Li Gen was quite puzzled, how could His Majesty teach such a big thing to himself?

Running the academy alone?

How important is this to yourself?

Besides, the only famous academy in Chang'an City is the Guozijian in Wubenfang.

If a new college is to be built, how will it enroll students?
Moreover, there is no more land in Chang'an City, which is used to build the college. Where will the new college be built?
Li Gen expressed these questions in his heart one by one.

Hearing this, Li Shimin smiled and said.

"Gen'er, His Majesty wants you to teach on the spot, and the college will be built in the manor."

"It's just a few schools. As long as Gen'er agrees, His Majesty will send craftsmen over, and Gen'er can also choose a few helpers. As long as people are willing to come, His Majesty will naturally give them a certain salary."

"The college's enrollment is mainly from commoner backgrounds. If there are children from rich families who are willing to come, it is up to the root to decide whether to accept or not."

"Also, how Shu Xiu collects it is entirely up to you."

After listening to his father's words, Li Gen said without hesitation.

"Father, I think it will work!"

Li Shimin didn't expect that Li Gen agreed so readily.

"Gen'er, with your words, father can rest assured and explain to His Majesty."

Li Shimin picked up the wine glass and took a sip happily, feeling happy in his heart.

"Father, my son also has a few ideas!"

"Oh, what's your idea?"

After hearing Li Gen's words, Li Shimin put down his glass, stared at Li Gen, and asked.

"Father, since His Majesty sent people to build the school, he will also build a row of houses for the students to live in, and of course build a kitchen."

"What does Gen'er mean, let the students eat and live in the manor?"

"Ah."

After hearing what his father said, Li Gen nodded vigorously, and then spoke.

"One boy can't teach too many students, only three or fifty at most."

"Letting them eat, live and study together is not only conducive to learning, but also conducive to the management of the college."

"........."

Li Gen expressed his thoughts one by one.

The more Li Shimin listened, the happier he felt.

Closed management!
This is the first time Li Shimin has heard this term, but it sounds reasonable.

"Gen'er, if you have any other requests, you can just mention them, and I will announce them to His Majesty as a father."

"Father, don't bother Your Majesty, you can solve the problems that the child can solve by yourself."

"Okay, since that's the case, my father hastened to tell His Majesty, His Majesty is very concerned about the college's affairs, and the craftsmen should be dispatched soon."

Li Shimin smiled, glanced at Li Yuan and Chang Le, and said.

"Father, Lele, you have lived in the manor for several months, why don't you come with me to our mansion and stay for a few days. Maybe you two haven't been to our mansion in Chang'an City!"

"Father, what if Lele misses her brother?"

Changle naturally knew that this was a chance for her father to return to the palace to meet her mother.

So he took Li Shimin's arm and said coquettishly.

"Lele, the mansion and manor belong to our family. Whenever you want to come to the manor, you can come back anytime!"

"Okay then, Lele agreed, brother, Lele will go to our mansion to have a look."

Chang Le raised his head with an innocent look on his face.

Li Gen smiled and nodded.
