Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 177 Night Talk (Wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
Everyone returned to Dudu Mansion.

Hongxiu and Tianxiang were naturally very happy to see the prince back.

Facing Princess Qin, the two also respectfully saluted and paid homage.

no way!
From the very beginning, the two of them knew that because of their identities, they were destined not to become Princess Qin.

No matter how many children are born, it will not help.

Li Gen led Princess Qin to take a bath and change clothes.

In the shower room, Wei Fenfang's eyes widened in surprise.

Wei Fenfang has seen the glazed mirrors on the wall, the soaps, shower gels, towels on the shelves, etc. before.

However, the fact that hot water fell on this day made her never expect it.

When Wei Fenfang took off her clothes.

Li Gen started again, with a fundamental reaction.

…………

The sound of rushing water perfectly concealed the panting of the two of them.

Water poured down from the sky and poured over the heads and bodies of the two.

Half an hour later, the two put on dry clothes and walked out of the shower room refreshed.

"Grand grandson, come here, Grandpa Huang has something to ask you."

"Hey……"

Li Gen agreed, and strode towards Li Yuan's room.

"Grandson, close the door!"

Hearing this, Li Gen smiled and closed the door. It seems that Grandpa's topic today is a bit serious.

"How is it? Back in Chang'an City, is everything okay?"

"Grandpa, everything is fine. My grandson has lived in Chang'an City safely for nearly a month."

"Oh, your father didn't let you go out?"

Li Yuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked.

"No, grandson doesn't want to cause criticism in Chang'an City, so he simply closed the door to thank the guests. Even officials from the Zhuangyuan Academy, grandson will not receive any of them!"

"Then you just married a Princess Qin during this trip? Then you didn't do anything?"

Li Yuan was rather dissatisfied, and blamed him.

On the eve of his departure, Li Yuan repeatedly urged him to find some reliable ministers in Chang'an City.

For this reason, Li Yuan even did not hesitate to write a letter himself, and asked Chai Lingwu to hand it over to his son-in-law Chai Shao.

Li Yuan's thoughts were simple and clear.

Since Li Shimin rebelled against him back then, he managed to find a grandson with both martial arts and martial arts in this life.

If there is a chance, Li Shimin must let Li Shimin taste the taste of being rebelled.

In fact, this is no wonder Li Yuan.

After all, what happened back then caused too much harm and blow to Li Yuan.

"Grandpa, grandson has already done what he wanted to do, and it's much better than grandson expected."

"Oh……"

After listening to Li Gen's words, Li Yuan's spirits lifted instantly.

"Grand grandson, tell grandpa well, what have you done?"

Hearing the words, Li Gen shared his trip to Chang'an City and his harvest one by one.

After all, it was Conglong's idea that his grandfather Li Yuan strongly supported him to take this step.

"Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, Ma Zhou, plus Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing..."

"Grand grandson, yes, yes, although grandpa's two nephews did not express their support for you, it is already the best attitude for them to remain neutral."

"With these people, I really have a lot of help if I want to achieve great things!"

It's hard to imagine that Li Tang, the founder of the world, was conniving at his grandson and rebelling against his son.

"Grandpa, don't rush everything, you need to figure it out slowly."

Hearing this, Li Yuan sighed.

He naturally knew that everything should not be rushed.

However, Li Yuan hoped that in his lifetime, he would see Li Shimin suffer the same fate as he did back then.

If this is the case, the heart knot of many years will be completely untied.

"Grand grandson, after you left, grandpa has not been idle. Cheng Zhijie, Yu Chigong and Qin Shubao have already expressed their willingness to support you on the road of Conglong."

"Although they followed Shimin back then, grandpa had to abdicate. Now that they are willing to follow you, it can be regarded as a sin and meritorious service. Grandpa doesn't care about the past with them..."

Li Gen smiled and nodded when he heard the words, so he saved a lot of tongue.

Although Li Gen believes that as long as he speaks, the three generals will definitely find it difficult to refuse and oppose.

Now that Grandpa Huang came forward to talk about it, he would be much more relieved.

"Grandpa, are Zhao Si and Feng Wu still reliable?"

Ever since he knew that Zhao Si and Feng Wu were Bai Qisi's spies, Li Gen had been feeling very unhappy.

Although these two have been working hard to protect him secretly all these years, it also makes Li Gen feel that they are watching him all the time.

"Son, everyone has weaknesses, and everyone has their own helplessness. These two of them have been by your side these years, and they have worked hard without merit. Let's see, they are both extremely intelligent people."

"Grandpa hopes that when the time comes, they will make the right choice."

Li Gen smiled and nodded.

What Grandpa said was the same as what he thought in his heart.

"Grandpa, Concubine An is also here."

Li Gen's words made Li Yuan's eyes light up instantly.

"She, why did she follow?"

"Grandpa, it was the father and the queen mother who told me that with Concubine An around, they can take good care of the emperor's grandfather."

"It's kind of a conscience..."

Li Yuan murmured in a low voice.

"Grandfather, father and mother, married several princesses and sisters to Wei Shuyu, Du He, Li Deju, and Fang Yiai respectively. The marriage contract between Changle and Changsun Chong was dissolved, and the father gave Princess Gaoyang a marriage. Chang Sun Chong."

"Fang Yiai is now Changle's son-in-law... The emperor and the queen want us to officiate the wedding ceremony for them. On the ninth day of July, the dowry has already been sent to Fang's mansion, and the wedding banquet has already been arranged..."

"Oh, if that's the case, that's fine."

Li Yuan nodded when he heard the words, and then spoke.

"Chang Le must not let Chang Le know about Conglong. After all, she is a woman, so it's better not to know!"

"And avoid a lot of trouble!"

"Grandson listens to grandpa in everything. It's getting late, let's go have dinner. They must be waiting impatiently."

"Okay, grandpa has quit drinking for several months, and he wants to drink a few glasses today."

Li Gen followed Li Yuan out of the room.

Instruct Zhao Si and Feng Wu to invite the three generals and their families to come over.

But during tea time, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Qin Shubao, his wife and son all came.

"Chu Liang, where are Bao Qi and the others?"

When Li Gen's words fell to the ground, Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.

"Your Highness, Chu Liang and Bao Qi are currently teaching at the academy."

"Oh, how many students are there in our academy in Luntai City?"

Hearing this, Li Gen asked happily.

"I heard from Chu Liang that there are already nearly 500 students."

"Good, not bad."

Li Gen nodded in satisfaction.

Hongxiu and Tianxiang will cook in person today.

Maids, bring up plates of dishes.

Zhao Si and Feng Wu brought two jars of wine.

Everyone toasted frequently, drinking and eating meat, so happy.

Wei Fenfang, under the continuous toasting of the three generals' wives, drank almost a glass of wine.

Soon his cheeks were red and dripping with blood, and the distressed Li Gen didn't want it.

Fortunately, the three wives saw that Princess Qin was too strong to drink, so they immediately stopped toasting.

After the banquet, the three generals and their wives left.

Chu Mo, Bao Lin and Huai Dao were left behind by Li Gen.

After carefully inquiring about the recent situation of Luntai City, Li Gen nodded in reassurance, and let the three of Chu Mo go back home.

"Chang Le, father and mother have officially dissolved your engagement with Chang Sun Chong."

Hearing this, Changle laughed happily.

"Father and mother married Princess Gaoyang to Changsun Chong."

"The ninth day of last month was the big brother and your sister-in-law's big wedding day. The princesses also got married on the same day. Father and mother married you to Fang Yiai..."

Chang Le lowered her head shyly upon hearing this.

"Father and queen mother mean that as long as you agree, elder brother and grandpa can hold a wedding ceremony for you and your beloved at any time."

"Changle, listen to elder brother and grandpa..."

Li Yuan and Li Gen both laughed when they heard this.

In this way, Changle's lifelong event can be regarded as determined.

Seeing that his princess was still blushing, Li Gen took her to the room to rest in distress.

"Since I'm too strong to drink, I'll drink less in the future."

Li Gen told Wei Fenfang to go to bed to rest, and couldn't help but exhort.

Wei Fenfang nodded happily, closed her eyes, and fell asleep after a while.

It was really tiring to ride the horse and gallop all the way. In addition, Li Gen worked hard almost several times a day along the way.

Qin Wangfei, who has just experienced human affairs, how can she bear it? Just an hour ago, she was tossed hard by Li Gen in the shower room.

Looking at the sleeping Princess Qin, Li Gen knew that she was really tired.

I am also tired!
Li Gen stretched, yawned, leaned against the head of the bed and quickly fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was almost dusk.

Because the days in Luntai City are very long.

Even after sunset, there is still at least one hour before dark.

Li Gen led Princess Qin to the north of the city.

"My lord, it's no wonder that there is a sweet smell in the air here. It turns out that there are so many fruit trees here."

After five years of growth, the pear trees and apple trees have already achieved fruitful results.

Many branches are covered with huge fruits, which bend the branches.

Li Gen looked at the large fruit forest with satisfaction.

The management personnel he specially appointed manage the fruit forest very well, pruning, watering, fertilizing, and deworming are all in place, otherwise there would be so many fruits this year.

"My lord, what kind of fruit tree is this? It bears bright red fruits, which are really beautiful."

Wei Fenfang walked under an apple tree full of bright red fruits, and asked with shining eyes.

"My concubine, this is an apple tree. In the entire Tang Dynasty, only Luntai City has such an apple grove."

"Come on, have a taste, is it sweet?"

Li Gen walked under the apple tree, and he could pick it with his hand. He picked a big, round, red apple.

Li Gen took out the short knife and began to peel the fruit carefully.

In his previous life, Li Gen had good skills in peeling apples, and today it finally comes in handy.

Wei Fenfang looked at her husband in surprise, he finished peeling a round and big apple, but the peel was not broken, and it was connected into a line, just like a handicraft.

"My lord, you are really amazing..."

Wei Fenfang couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"Aifei, haven't you tried it a long time ago, is this king really good?"

Li Gen's words made Wei Fenfang's cheeks blush.

It competes with the red apple on the top of the head.

"My lord, you're starting to make fun of your concubines again..."

"Aifei, it's just a joke, it makes you shy..."

After peeling the apple, Li Gen split it into two and handed half to his princess.

"It's so sweet, crunchy and sweet..."

Hearing this, Li Gen also bit down.

Shu Tan, it's a bit sweeter than the sugar apples of later generations.

It is really one side of water and soil to support one side of fruit!
The climate and sunshine here are most suitable for planting fruit trees and watermelons.

"Aifei, there are hundreds of jujube trees over there, and it's time to mature now."

"Come on, let's go over and have a look. The jujube trees in Luntai City produce much crisper and sweeter fruits than the jujubes in Chang'an City."

Walking to the jujube tree, Li Gen found a branch and struck it down with one pole.

Crash, the sweet dates rolled to the ground.

The happy Princess Qin, like a child, bent down and squatted on the ground to pick up the fruit.

"My lord, you can try one too..."

After carefully wiping it with a handkerchief, Wei Fenfang brought a bright red sweet date to Li Gen's mouth.

Li Gen put it in his mouth in one bite, and his teeth were crunchy when he gritted.

"Not bad……"

"My concubine, you can also eat one, eat a sweet date, and give birth to a big fat baby for this king in the coming year..."

Wei Fenfang pursed her lips and laughed when she heard that.

It's hard to think about being happy with the prince. He speaks in a way. He deserves to be the number one talented person in the Tang Dynasty.

The two sat on the stone pier, admiring the huge orchard happily, tasting the crisp and sweet fruits in their mouths.

Wei Fenfang has never seen such a world, and the rumored Xanadu is nothing more than this.

When the full and bright moon was in the sky, the two got up and walked towards Luntai City.

"My lord, go and accompany Hongxiu and Tianxiang..."

"It's not easy for them either!"

After bathing, Li Gen wanted to stick it on it again. Wei Fenfang's words made Li Gen nod with a smile.

This Qin Wangfei can get along, it is good to know how to give in!

"Then the king will go, and the concubine won't be jealous?"

Li Gen sat up with a wicked smile on his cheek.

"My lord, do you think this concubine is Mrs. Fang..."

Hearing this, Li Gen almost laughed out loud.

The fact that Mrs. Fang Xiang broke the jar of jealousy is not only known in the world today, but also passed down from generation to generation.

The term vinegar jar comes from this.

Therefore, Fang Xiang has become an extremely rare high-ranking official who does not take concubines in history, and he is the only prime minister who does not take concubines.

China has been flourishing for thousands of years, such a move is really rare, and it makes Li Gen, a traveler, feel ashamed now.

"My concubine, I will come whenever I go..."

Li Gen pushed the door and went out. At this moment, the bright moon made the entire Governor's Mansion as bright as day.

Li Gen strolled towards Hongxiu and Tianxiang's room.

It's time for them to share a house. The two of them have worked hard all this time, and it's time to give them a title. After all, Ji Xiang and Ru Yi are getting bigger and bigger.

Over the years, Hongxiu and Tianxiang have put in so much effort to raise the four little ones.

"My lord, why are you here?"

Li Gen pushed open the door gently, but Hong Xiu and Tian Xiang woke up unexpectedly.

Perhaps neither of them was asleep yet.

Surprised, the two sat up from the bed.

"This king came to see you, why? Don't you like it?"

Li Gen walked to the bed and sat down.

"I like Hongxiu and Tianxiang, of course I like it, but Princess Qin..."

For Hongxiu and Tianxiang, let Li Gen stretch out his hands, hold Hongxiu with his left hand, and hold Tianxiang with his right.

"These two years, you two have worked hard, I want to thank you both, for giving birth to Jixiang and Ruyi, four smart children..."

"Actually, in this king's heart, you two have always had a place. If it weren't for this king's identity, you two could become the main wife, and there would be no Princess Qin today..."

"My lord,..."

"Hongxiu and Tianxiang were originally maids of low status. If they hadn't met the prince, Hongxiu and Tianxiang wouldn't be able to live a happy life now..."

"My lord, Hong Xiu and Tian Xiang, the greatest blessings in this life are all given by the lord. We have no other extravagant hopes. I just hope that the lord will not chase Hong Xiu and Tian Xiang away, so that we can look at Ji Xiang and Ru Yi, healthy and peaceful." Grow up safely..."

There were crystal tears on the cheeks of Hongxiu and Tianxiang, which made Li Gen hold the two daughters in his arms with distress.

"Silly girl, why did the prince drive you two away? So, Ji Xiang and Ru Yi, don't they want to hate this king for the rest of their lives... Do you two want the four of them to have no biological mother?"

"This king has lost his mother since he was a child. Only by experiencing the pain in his heart can he know how painful it is..."

"My lord..."

Hongxiu and Tianxiang threw themselves into Li Gen's arms, weeping.

Li Gen patted the back of the second daughter lightly, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Okay, stop crying. This king has you two, and now I have Princess Qin, I won't have another woman in this life..."

"From tomorrow onwards, the two of you share a house, and don't touch the kitchen anymore. How can the concubine of this king do the work of those servants..."

"Don't distinguish between the two of you, in my heart, you are both equally important..."

"My lord..."

Hongxiu and Tianxiang were so excited that they shed tears of happiness.

"My lord, my concubine serves my lord..."

Hongxiu and Tianxiang acted together.

The bright moon outside the window, at this moment, was too shy to look at it, and quickly slipped away from the window.

...............

The second day is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Speaking of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I have to mention Li Yuan.

Because this festival came precisely because Li Yuan gave cakes to the triumphant army on August [-]th.

Every year since then, there will be one more day of family reunion like this.

Li Gen woke up refreshed, only to remember that he had promised the princess last night that he would go back to accompany her immediately.

As a result, when I got on the horse, I didn't stop the car.

Straight to dawn.

Fortunately, Princess Qin did not feel any displeasure.

Instead, wash with Li Gen.

Ugh!
Sure enough, a man's mouth is unreliable.

It's not unreliable, it's because someone kept their legs.

Difficult, really too difficult.

Now Li Gen is nothing more than Princess Qin plus two concubines, making a total of three.

I also don't know how my father's life is going.

Thinking about it made Li Gen feel extremely headache.

"My son, please greet my father and mother!"

Just finished grooming, Ji Xiang and Ru Yi respectfully came to greet An Shili.

Li Gen nodded with a smile and said.

"Auspicious, Ru Yi. After breakfast, father and mother will take the four of you to the orchard. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the fruits of our orchard are also in the harvest season. Father will take you to feel and experience the harvest. Joy and joy..."

The four little guys bowed happily and stepped back.

At the dinner table, Li Gen told about Hongxiu and Tianxiang, and naturally no one objected.

The two daughters have already given birth to four children for Li Gen, and it is well-deserved to have a title.

"Zhao Si, Feng Wu. Pass down the order that the fruit forest in the north of Luntai City will be harvested today, and all soldiers and common people will share the fruits today. Let everyone have a happy Mid-Autumn Festival..."

"By the way, except for the workers in the factory and the guards on duty, everyone else should go to the orchard to harvest the fruit."

After breakfast, Li Gen ordered.

Zhao Si and Feng Wu respectfully took orders and left.

Ten thousand acres of orchards!
Even if all the soldiers and family members of Luntai City went to battle together, it would be enough to work for a whole day.

His Royal Highness King Qin brought Princess Qin, two county kings, and two princesses to the fruit forest in person to harvest the fruits.

Provoking all the soldiers and the people shouted together.

Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and Qin Shubao, the three generals followed King Qin around.

Baskets of apples, pears and red dates were carried onto the carriage.

"Send it to the cemetery of the fallen soldiers first, and then send it to the family members... Be sure to send it to the hands of the family members..."

"Later, this king and the three generals will lead all the generals and officials of Luntai City to the cemetery to visit the fallen soldiers..."

Li Gen's words brought tears to the eyes of the soldiers responsible for the delivery.

The three generals also nodded vigorously.

"Then, send it to the nursing home and the No. [-] Scholar Academy."

"The rest belong to the soldiers and the common people!"

.........

Tonight is destined to be an unforgettable night for the soldiers and people of Luntai City.

When the full moon is high.

The largest square in Luntai City was crowded with people.

In Luntai City, which is also within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the first Mid-Autumn Festival Gala will be staged soon.

This was the surprise that Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Baoqi brought to Li Gen, and also to the entire Luntai City.

When he was in Chang'an City Zhuangyuan College, Li Gen once organized such a party for the students.

Unexpectedly, Chu Liang and Bao Qi were so attentive.

The lute sounds!

The first one to appear was Miss Xiangxiang.

Xiang Xiang, who was dressed in white, amazed the audience as soon as she appeared on the stage.

It caused bursts of cheers from the soldiers and the people.

Cheng Chumo held his son Cheng Ansheng in his arms, and sat in the front row with a hey smile.

He didn't notice at all that the face of the old man beside him had drooped.

"The tide of the Spring River connects to the sea level, and the moon rises on the sea together. The twinkling waves follow the waves for thousands of miles, and where there is no moon in the Spring River..."

Among the melodious music, Miss Xiangxiang's "Spring River Flowers and Moonlight Night" made everyone mesmerized.

All the soldiers and the common people know that this poem "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" is the most famous work of His Highness the King of Qin.

At this time, Miss Xiangxiang's ethereal voice, coupled with the melodious and melodious music, seemed to have a special charm in my heart.

After Miss Xiangxiang finished the song, the audience applauded like a wave, and some mischievous teenagers blew their hooligan whistles.

The party has been going on in a cheerful atmosphere. After the reunion dinner, Li Gen brought all the people from the Dudu Mansion together.

Li Yuan and the four children sat in front, beside Li Gen were Qin Wangfei and Changle, Hongxiu, Tianxiang and Wu Zhao sat closely together.

The party went smoothly, Li Gen applauded from time to time, and Ji Xiang and Ru Yi almost swollen their hands.

The last ones to appear were a group of children ranging from five or six to thirteen or fourteen years old.

"My father was a hero!"

"An indomitable hero!"

"He used his own blood and life to protect Datang, the Western Regions, and Luntai City..."

call!
The entire huge square fell silent in an instant.

Everyone knows that this is the heir of the fallen soldier, this is the orphan of the fallen soldier...

"Father, is the full moon in the sky that day your smiling face?"

"Father, are those twinkling stars your eyes looking at your child?"

"Father, when the news of your death came, the mother cried bitterly while holding the baby..."

"Mother, trembled and said, the sky is falling, how will I live in the future?"

.........

Everyone was crying, Ji Xiang and Ru Yi, looking at the children of their age, the four little guys wiped away their tears one by one.

Even Cheng Yaojin, whose heart is as hard as iron, is rolling down Dou Da's tears at this time.

He seemed to understand why Chu Liang and Bao Qi insisted on holding such a party.

Princess Qin leaned on Li Gen's shoulder, sobbing non-stop.

"Father, don't worry!"

"Grandpa and grandma, they were sent to a nursing home!"

"Boy, I'm currently studying at the Number One Scholar Academy."

"Father, you are a hero, an indomitable hero!"

"This is, His Highness King Qin, the evaluation of you is also the evaluation of all the soldiers who died in battle!"

"Father, when I grow up, my child will become a hero like you..."

"Guard the Great Tang, guard the Western Regions, guard Luntai City..."

"Guard, every inch of land you have ever stepped on!"

"Father, don't worry!"

"Baby, no longer an orphan!"

"All the soldiers and common people in Luntai City are my relatives..."

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, His Royal Highness King Qin sent moon cakes, apples, and a jar of fine wine!"

"Father, you like to drink, and all the children are sent to you..."

"Father, you once said that without the Great Governor, there would be no today, and without the Great Governor, there would be no good days today!"

"Father, what you don't know is that the chief governor of Luntai City is our Great Tang King Qin..."

"Without His Royal Highness King Qin, grandpa and grandma would have no one to take care of them, and the child would be lonely and helpless..."

"You said that a man has gold under his knees!"

"Today, my boy will kowtow to His Royal Highness Qin Wang, thank His Highness Qin Wang, let us continue to live without worrying about food and clothing..."

More than a dozen children fell to their knees with tears streaming down their faces.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness!"

Seeing His Royal Highness King Qin step forward, lift up the children one by one, and hug them.

People and soldiers, raise your arms and shout!
