Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 150 Get on the bus first, then make up the ticket

Tai Chi Palace.

In the imperial study.

Li Shimin and Li Jing sat opposite each other.

"Your Majesty, Hou Zhen of Lantian is a rare genius!"

"I never imagined that such a talented young man would be well versed in the art of war."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Datang has gained another military genius!"

After Li Jing played Li Shimin all that Li Gen had said, he sincerely congratulated Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was really happy that his mother opened the door for Gao Xing, and Xing Xing came home.

This kid turned out to be a military prodigy, worthy of being Lao Tzu's seed.

"Pharmacist, after hearing what you said, I also feel that it is really a bit hasty to conquer Tuyuhun at this time."

Li Shimin and Li Jing were both worried in the imperial study.

Li Shimin was more worried than Li Jing.

Because this morning, he just said that ten days later, he will lead all the civil and military officials to bid farewell to the soldiers who went to war!

Li Shimin thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

"Come here, send an edict to the officials in charge of the six departments of the three provinces to come to the imperial study to have an audience."

Li Shimin gave an order, and Li Delu, the chief servant, took the order and left.

"Pharmacist, don't speak up later, I have my own opinions on everything."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing nodded solemnly.

A quarter of an hour later, Fang Xiang Du Xiang and Changsun Wuji came first hand in hand.

Soon the officials in charge of the six ministries of the three provinces came to the imperial study in a hurry.

Li Shimin glanced at the important ministers, all of them are here now.

"My dear friends, I think it's inappropriate to attack Tuyuhun this morning."

Li Shimin's voice fell to the ground, and the imperial study was quiet.

Everyone rushed to be puzzled.

This is not His Majesty's style!
During the court meeting in the morning, the sword pointed out the valley, how high-spirited it was, and the overlord's aura of ruling the world was fully displayed.

What's the matter now?
It's only been a few hours!

His Majesty actually overturned his will.

Li Shimin naturally saw the doubts of the crowd, so without hesitation, he said all three suggestions that Li Jing heard from Gen'er that Tuyuhun should not be conquered.

Fang Xiang Du and other people's expressions are extremely exciting.

"My dear friends, the first and the second, I think that our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can overcome the difficulties and the severe cold, and I don't worry that Tuyuhun has been on guard for a long time."

"However, these three are the most terrifying."

"I've thought about it for a long time, if when our army attacks Tuyuhun, the Turkic cavalry will suddenly attack from the rear."

"Even if our army can win this station, I don't know how many soldiers will come back with a hundred thousand troops!"

"I am the king of a country, how can I disregard the lives of soldiers?"

"Tuyuhun must be dealt with, but I think I can endure it for a while."

"When the time is right, destroy the Turks first, and then break through Tuyuhun."

What Li Shimin said was loud and powerful.

"Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming!"

Fang Xiang Du and the others stood up excitedly and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, it's my fault if I didn't think carefully!"

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui spoke in unison.

"Xuanling, Keming. After careful consideration, I discovered the problem."

"Xuanling, Keming, don't worry about it."

Li Shimin smiled and comforted the two prime ministers who seemed to blame themselves.

I was really glad in my heart, if it wasn't for the fact that Li Jing's second son was in the Zhuangyuan Academy, and Li Jing went to the manor, if the army conquered Tuyuhun, the consequences would be really unpredictable.

Gen'er's art of war is known to be quite talented, so much so that Li Jing even spoke highly of it.

However, Li Shimin finally decided to hide his talent.

Now Gen'er is good enough to shock people.

For Queen Changsun, Li Shimin also decided to hide it.

Gao Ming and Qing Que already knew Gen'er's true identity.

Once they knew that Li Gen, who had not yet entered the palace, was better than them in every way.

This is really not a good thing!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin, a father, felt very headache.

The more talented Gen'er is, logically speaking, as a father, he should be happier.

But why now, do you have the idea to hide his talent?
After the officials left the imperial study, Li Shimin sat alone in the imperial study in a daze.

Tomorrow is a holiday.

Li Shimin decided to go to the manor in person.

Early in the morning of the second day, because there was no need to go to court, Li Shimin simply had breakfast.

Then he took Li Yuan and Chang Le into the carriage.

The driver, of course, was Li Junxian, the commander of Baiqi Division.

Inside the manor.

Li Gen was running with a group of teenagers.

The four dogs also ran behind the crowd, shaking their heads and wagging their tails.

Now there are four of them, and they are the same size as adult dogs.

Because there is meat to eat and soup to drink every day.

The fur of the four dogs is shiny and shiny, and each is stronger than the other.

Suddenly, the four dogs happily ran to the gate of the manor.

Xiao Hei turned his head back, and gave a gentle reminder sound to his master.

It seems to be saying, come with me!Here comes the loved ones.

Li Gen calculated the time, today is his father's holiday.

Thinking of this, Li Gen explained that Li Deju and others would lead everyone to practice boxing.

He trotted all the way to the door.

"Father, you are here!"

Before Li Gen ran to the door, Li Shimin's figure had already appeared in front of him.

Looking at Li Gen who was running out of breath, Li Shimin nodded with a smile.

"Gen'er, because my father is taking a rest today, I came here specially to accompany you."

"Grandpa Ni and younger sister are used to living in the manor, but they are still not used to it when they come back to our house. Didn't they just pick them up yesterday, and they came back today."

Li Shimin didn't blush when he lied.

"Father, let's go back to the house and talk!"

The family returned to the room.

Chunmei and Chunlan quickly served the tea.

"Gen'er, during the early court yesterday, His Majesty ordered Li Jing and Hou Jun to lead an army of [-] troops to attack Tuyuhun after ten days' gathering."

"At that time in the court, the blood of all the officials was boiling. As a father, I could feel the indignation of all my colleagues at Tuyuhun's surprise attack on my Longyou Saltworks."

"Unexpectedly, at dusk yesterday, Li Jing, the Duke of Dai, came to the door."

"It turns out that everything is because Dai Guogong heard Gen'er's words."

Li Shimin picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said with a smile on his face.

"Duke Dai went to our mansion, and he came to thank us. This is really unexpected for my father."

"Gen'er, as a father, I never imagined that you are still well versed in the art of war. Even the Duke of Dai is full of praise for you. He claims that Gen'er is a military genius, a genius of the world!"

"You boy, it's so hard to hide it from my father! My father didn't realize it at all, and you boy actually knows the art of war."

Li Shimin really got cheap and acted like a good boy, and Li Gen felt a little embarrassed by what he said.

After listening to his father's words, Li Gen smiled and shook his head and said.

"Father, Gen'er is well versed in the art of war, from childhood to adulthood, Gen'er has never even read a book on war."

"Duke Dai is really a bit high-spirited. Father, please stop praising me."

Li Gen scratched his head in embarrassment, and replied truthfully.

Even in his previous life, Li Gen had never read a complete military book, but he had read more novels, movies, and TV series about war!

It is the same principle as breaking thousands of volumes in reading and writing with spirit.

However, Li Gen naturally couldn't tell the truth about these things to his father.

When Li Shimin heard this, his face was filled with disbelief.

"Gen'er, are you sure you've never read a military book?"

"Well, how can a child lie to his father?"

Good guy, after getting Li Gen's exact answer, Li Shimin was completely uneasy.

Li Gen has never read a single book on warfare, yet he knows how to use troops so well.

It's no wonder Li Shimin is calm.

This is a military wizard, his own son is self-taught, and even Li Jing praised him highly.

"Gen'er, tell Weifu, since you have never read military books, how could you think of those three inappropriate points?"

Li Shimin suppressed the excitement in his heart, put down his teacup, and asked.

"Father, tell the truth. It's just the three conclusions drawn after rational and objective analysis."

"Father, think about it, why did Turkic and Tuyuhun raid the Longyou Salt Farm? It must have been discussed by them."

"Tuyuhun and Turkic are lands with a large territory and few resources. Now the Tang Dynasty is strong enough to beat any of them."

"The two of them had the guts to raid the Longyou Salt Fields only if they had the courage to do so. After the incident, they must have a backup."

"It doesn't matter if the Tang army conquers either side of them first, the other side will definitely come to help."

"Everyone understands the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, let alone King Tuyuhun and Jieli Khan."

"That's why the boy reminded Duke Dai that even if the army is going to fight at this time, it will be a miserable victory."

"Father, the Tang Dynasty has just been pacified, years of wars have ended, and now the population has dropped sharply. Among other things, there is not even a young and strong man in the Li family village where the child grew up."

"Drought and locust plagues have come one after another this year, and the situation of drought and locust plagues next year should not be underestimated. Now is the best time to recuperate."

"As the saying goes, ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. King Gou Jian of Yue lived hard for ten years. My child thinks that this day, he will definitely consider this matter carefully."

After hearing Li Gen's words, Li Yuan's eyes widened.

Li Shimin also seemed to be enlightened.

Fortunately, Li Shimin, this is his own son!
If Tuyuhun or Turkic, or even Goryeo, had such a genius.

I'm afraid Li Shimin can't sleep well.

"Gen'er, for my father's court tomorrow morning, I will start playing for Your Majesty, and ask His Majesty to suspend sending troops!"

After hearing what his father said, Li Gen shook his head with a smile and said.

"Father, you're only a fifth grader, so don't join in the fun above the court."

"The most urgent task at the moment is to do one's job well in a down-to-earth manner as the best policy. Naturally, the Duke of Dai will come forward at the court."

"If the boy's prediction is correct, the Duke of Dai will definitely announce this matter to His Majesty alone."

"Your Majesty has been marching and fighting for many years, so he naturally knows the stakes. Father, don't worry about this matter."

Li Shimin looked rather embarrassed.

I was actually underestimated by this brat.

However, it is not yet possible to tell him that your father is Li Shimin, the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing Li Shimin's deflated appearance, Li Yuan felt very flattered in his heart.

"As a father and an official of the imperial court, how can you not offer advice and suggestions for His Majesty?"

Li Shimin had an idea, and once again wanted to turn passive into active.

The purpose, of course, is to test Li Gen.

"Father, don't you get excited."

"Baby is also thinking about your future."

"Although offering advice and suggestions is the job of a courtier, but with Fang Xiang Du and others around, they naturally know how to assess the situation."

"You are the prime minister of Dali Temple, and doing your job well is the right way."

"If Datang is really at the critical point of life and death, the child will naturally not mind his father daring to speak up."

"You just listen to your child about this little thing, and you don't need to worry about it."

Li Shimin heard the words, his face was full of bitter gourd.

Li Yuan finished drinking the tea in the cup, pulled Chang Le up and opened the room.

He had to go, because he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing Grandpa and Lele leave the room, Li Gen sat next to his father and said.

"Father, don't be angry!"

"Now you are the backbone and pillar of our family. Grandpa, Lele and I are all counting on you."

"Father was transferred from Jingyang and finally returned to Chang'an City. Although he is only a fifth-rank Dali Temple Prime Minister, some people are already envious of Daddy."

"Father, it's better to leave it to others to offer advice and suggestions. His Majesty has Fang Xiang and Du Xiang by his side. I believe they will make the right decision."

After listening to Li Gen's words, Li Shimin finally understood what the child was thinking.

He was worried that his father would attract the wind.

"Okay! Gen'er, I know what to do for my father."

Li Shimin held Li Gen's hand and said with a smile.

Seeing his father smiling, Li Gen also stood up happily.

"Father, boy, go to the academy and tell Master Kong to let him teach today. Boy will accompany you well, and I will cook you a table of delicious meals."

Li Shimin nodded with a smile, this is possible, half of the purpose of coming to the manor is to have a good meal.

Li Gen quickly returned to the room happily.

The father and son talked happily.

Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, talk about everything.

The more I talked about Li Shimin, the happier I felt, because in many opinions, Li Gen's child is almost the same as himself.

While chatting, Li Gen suddenly changed the subject.

"Dad, did you really not find another one?"

"You are still young, and you are a fifth-rank official. You have a bright future."

"There's no reason why you can't find a loving woman?"

"Father, you can look for it boldly, mother will not be angry if she is under the Nine Springs."

Li Gen's words made Li Shimin's face full of black lines.

However, Li Gen has asked about this matter more than once.

Li Shimin thought over and over again, and decided to recruit a little bit from the truth.

After all, I didn't just find one.

"Gen'er, as a father, I already have someone I like, and that girl is also very kind to my father."

"Oh, father, why don't you bring him here for Gen'er to see, you are old enough, hurry up and marry him back."

Li Shimin looked at Li Gen's expectant expression, and asked.

"Gen'er, are you really not afraid to find a stepmother for your father?"

"Hey! Why worry about that?"

"A father's happiness is also a child's happiness."

"It must be very sad to see you alone at night, right?"

Li Shimin almost couldn't hold back.

I was really sad at night.

That's sad who should go to bed.

This brat really cares about everything.

Now, in order to stop this kid's mouth.

Li Shimin decided to give him some dry goods.

"Gen'er, to be honest, it's my father and her, what's the matter?"

"And, now she's pregnant."

Hearing this, Li Gen stood up abruptly.

Let Li Shimin panic.

This kid can't be, you should be anxious when you hear that you are pregnant!
Isn't it just multiple younger brothers or younger sisters? As for looking at Lao Tzu with such eyes.

"Father, already have it? Is it yours?"

"Well, yes, it's mine."

Since Li Shimin had made up his mind, he naturally had to stick to it.

"Okay, Dad, I really have you, you are the first to get on the bus, and then make up the fare!"

Li Shimin's face was covered with black lines when he heard the words.

Where are these from?

The first half of the sentence is fine, but the second half of the sentence is related to the problem of paying fares for getting on the bus?

The problem is, I don't understand what it means!

"Gen'er, why do you get on the bus first and pay the fare later?"

After hearing what his father said, Li Gen scratched his head and said in embarrassment.

"Father, the child was so happy for a while, it was just talking nonsense, don't forget to take it to heart."

Seeing that Li Gen was not angry because of this, Li Shimin felt relieved.

"Father, next time you have a holiday, you must bring my stepmother with you. The boy has prepared a big table of delicious food. Stepmother is welcome to bring her future brother or sister home for dinner."

Li Shimin nodded with a smile and said.

"Gen'er, if you want to call your stepmother, stepmother and stepmother are too ugly."

"Father, I think stepmother is even worse. When she comes, I'll call her mother. Then let Lele call her mother too."

"In this way, even if we have reorganized the family again, when the future brother or sister is born, Lele and I will take good care of them."

Li Gen's words warmed Li Shimin's heart.

Perhaps the reason why this child has suffered too much since childhood is that his heart is so kind.

"Okay, my father promises you that I will bring her next time."

Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Father, how did you two meet? Did you meet in Jingyang County?"

Li Shimin nodded when he heard the words, and began to think in his heart, how to make up a touching and beautiful lie.

"Speaking of which, this girl's life experience is also pitiful. Both her parents have passed away, and only she and her elder brother are left to depend on each other..."

Li Shimin, an old fox in the Jianghu, successfully fooled Li Gen into tears.

"Gen'er, don't be sad. My father will send someone to Jingyang County to bring her back to Chang'an City. If I had known that she was pregnant, I would have brought her back when my father came back."

Li Shimin pretended to be very responsible.

Successfully passed the test in front of Li Gen.

After lunch, the father and son continued to chat.

Until the sun went down, Li Shimin had to stand up.

"Gen'er, it's getting late, as my father is still going to court tomorrow, if he lives in the manor, he must get up very early."

"Father, the child will see you off."

At the gate of the manor, even four dogs came to see them off.

After watching the carriage go away, Li Gen just returned to the manor.

"It's rare for my father to come back for a reunion. Today we have Master Lao Kong."

Li Gen had just returned to the manor, and happened to meet Kong Yingda, who was coming after finishing his studies, so he cupped his fists and saluted.

"It's okay, it's okay, those young men are very eager to learn, the old man is very worry-free."

Kong Yingda smiled and walked towards the gate of the manor.

Naturally, Li Gen also wanted to see him off.

Watching Master Kong's carriage leave, Li Gen found a steed and came straight towards the manor.

The big black face on horseback is shining brightly in the setting sun.

If it wasn't Cheng Chumo, who else could it be.

Since the start of the academy, these worshiping brothers seldom came to the manor to bother Li Gen.

Cheng Chumo came here occasionally, but he didn't dare to stay for too long.

Seeing Chu Mo's flustered look, Li Gen concluded that something must be wrong with this kid.

It's not just about solving the problem of gluttons in the stomach.

"Seventh brother, hurry up and find a way to save me!"

Cheng Chumo got off the horse, all kinds of grievances and troubles were written on that big black face.

"Brother Chumo, what happened? Did you make Uncle Cheng angry again?"

Li Gen asked Cheng Chumo to enter the manor to talk, and Cheng Chumo just sat down on the ground.

"Well, it's a long story, but it's actually not that long."

"If I don't make it right this time, I might be beaten to death by my father again."

"Miss Xiangxiang, he is pregnant. He just told me today that it is mine."

"Seventh brother, what do you call this? How could she have it, and it can still be mine?"

Li Gen finally understands, this kid has made Xiangxiang a big deal.

Another special one came, who got on the train first and then paid for the fare.

What a worry!
Cheng Chumo is the son of the Duke, and there is a big gap between Xiangxiang and him in status.

"Brother Chumo, worrying is not the solution to the problem. What do you think now? Tell me the truth."

"Do you have feelings for Miss Xiangxiang? The child in your stomach, do you want her to be born?"

After hearing Li Gen's words, Cheng Chumo nodded and spoke.

"Seventh brother, I really like Miss Xiangxiang, but my father definitely doesn't agree. Of course I also want that child. Seventh brother, hurry up and find a way for me!"

Hearing Cheng Chumo's words, Li Gen nodded with a smile.

"Brother Chumo, as long as you really like Miss Xiangxiang and want that child, everything will be much easier."

"Come on, let's go back and talk."

Li Gen led Chu Mo to his room.

He took out something and handed it to Chu Mo.

Cheng Chumo took it over and took a look.

The whole face was deformed with excitement.

"Seventh brother, is this glass bottle filled with perfume?"

The refreshing fragrance went straight to Cheng Chumo's nose, making him take a deep breath.

"Brother Chumo, this is the perfume made from rose petals. Throughout the spring and summer, Chunmei and Chunlan collected a lot of rose petals, and I made them into perfume and stored them in my spare time."

"I originally wanted to give Lele a bottle, but she couldn't smell the fragrance. As soon as she opened the bottle cap, she coughed non-stop. I suspect that she may be suffering from a gas disease."

Li Gen's words made Cheng Chumo's heart skip a beat.

The eldest princess has a gas disease, which is no small matter.

"Seventh brother, in that case, why don't you tell Grandpa and Uncle Li, hurry up and give Lele a cure."

Li Gen shook his head with a smile and said.

"Brother Chumo, I don't want grandpa and father to worry. Besides, I'm just doubting now. I can almost be sure when next spring."

"Even if there is a real qi disease, I believe Lele can be cured."
