First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 437
...

Li Yuanji was lying on his back and drinking lazily, but when he heard this, he immediately sat up straight.

"Since it's all decided, what's the point of canceling it?" Li Yuanji widened his eyes and said, "Brother, don't hesitate anymore. I have already found the horse. It is a strong horse offered by Dangxiang Qiang."

Li Jiancheng sighed quietly, "But brothers can kill each other, and if it is spread, it will be cast aside after all."

"Being cast aside by others is better than losing your life," Li Yuanji said unconvinced: "Do you think Li Shimin will let us go if he wins? Think about your life in Yulan Mountain, it will definitely be worse than that ".

Li Jiancheng trembled after hearing this, and continued to ask: "Are you sure there is no problem?"

"There will be no mistakes," Li Yuanji patted his chest and assured, "That horse is already rebellious, no one can tame it, and I will arrange to prescribe medicine to make it even more manic, and I promise to kill him alive."

As he spoke, Li Yuanji's eyes were cruel and vicious, as if the person he wanted to harm was a sworn enemy.

Li Jiancheng nodded silently and waved him back.

Li Yuanji threw down the jug and went out very freely. When he went out, the corner of his mouth twitched, his expression a little inexplicable.

In the south of Chang'an City, at the foot of Cuiping Mountain, Li Yuan set up a hunting ground here.

All the people who came today were clan princes and grandchildren, relatives of the emperor, and Gao Chong, as a son-in-law, naturally came here by order.

When they came to the foot of the mountain, they saw Chai Shao, Dou Dan, and Duan Lun dressed in strong clothes, talking and laughing together.

Gao Chong called out, good guy, this is the circle of concubines.

Chai Shao's wife is Li Sanniang Princess Pingyang, Dou Dan's wife is Li Erniang Princess Xiangyang, and Duan Lun's wife is Li Siniang Princess Gaomi.

"Everyone, it's early," Gao Chong stepped forward to greet each of them, all of them were his brothers-in-law.

"Yuzhi, you've been living in the mansion all day, and you don't leave the gate, so it's rare to see you." Chai Shao and Gao Chong were familiar, and laughed loudly.

"Could it be that Yauzhi is busy doing big things?" Duan Lun said with a smile: "If you have something good to do, remember to bring your brother."

Duan Lun was the son of Duan Wenzhen, former Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Sui Dynasty. He was famous for his chivalrous spirit when he was young.

Princess Gaomi married her eldest grandson Xiaozheng at the end of Daye. The eldest grandson Xiaozheng came from the Changsun family in Luoyang. His grandfather was Sun Cheng, the chief general of Zhu State in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his cousin was Changsun Shunde.

It’s just that the eldest grandson Xiaozheng died young. Duan Lun was famous for his chivalry, unrestrained and unmarried. He had a good relationship with Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng suggested that Princess Gaomi betrothed to Duan Lun. The Duan family was also a prominent family. Princess Gaomi was already a widow at that time. Li Yuan naturally agreed.

Facts have proved that Li Jiancheng has foresight. After Jinyang raised troops, Duan Lun responded positively. He quickly gathered tens of thousands of troops and raised troops in Lantian to welcome Li Yuan into Guanzhong.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China and proclaiming himself emperor, Duan Lun was named the governor of Yizhou, followed Gao Junya to appease Bashu, and was named Ji Guogong.

He used to follow Gao Junya to make achievements in Bashu, so Duan Lun's attitude towards Gao Chong is also very close, and his words are very casual.

In fact, this guy has a lot of details, he has a lot of friends, and he can't offend anyone. On the original trajectory, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he also reused him.

Hearing Duan Lun's joke, Gao Chong pretended to be surprised, "Brother Duan, how do you know? Recently, I came up with something that will definitely make me rich."

Duan Lun was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward and put his arms around Gao Chong's shoulders and said excitedly: "It's true, then you must take your brother with you."

"Youzhi, whoever sees it has a share," Chai Shao said with a smile.

"Exactly, who doesn't know that your Hero Pavilion is making a lot of money every day, but you must bring your brothers with you," Dou Dan also said with a smile.

In fact, Gao Chong had thought about it carefully. It would be a pity if he didn't come up with so many money-making ideas in his mind.

It's better to be alone than to be happy alone. Gao Chong knows that eating alone will cause people to hate him. It's good to get these people together. We are both sons-in-law and have a noble status. Is there any problem with earning a little money to support the princess?

"Okay, come back to my house to talk about it in detail", Gao Chong said seriously, "It will be easy to divide ten thousand and eight thousand yuan a month."

The sons-in-law were very surprised when they heard the words, ten thousand children eight thousand?This is terrible, Doumi is only a few tens of pennies now, so I will keep this matter in my heart.

"Yuzhi, what are you guys doing here?" Li Shimin galloped over and said with a big laugh, "Duan [-], seeing how happy you are, have you picked up gold and jewels?"

"Your Majesty is really right," Duan Lun chuckled, "You Zhi wants to lead us to make a lot of money, isn't this a treasure?"

Gao Chong had black lines on his face, this guy really couldn't hide his secret.

"Yuzhi, it's not okay for you to always think about making money. You want to be a Wei Huo, so why not be a stone king?" Li Shimin got off his horse and said with a slap on Gao Chong's shoulder.

The king of stone is Shi Chong and Wang Kai, the richest men in the Western Jin Dynasty. The story of their rivalry is well known.

Gao Chong grinned and rubbed his shoulders, "Isn't this just trying to save some money for your nephew?"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, their expressions were a little serious, Duan Lun's big eyes were very curious, and he asked in a low voice: "Separated?"

Gao Chong kicked over angrily, "What are you thinking, I naturally want to leave the family business of the Duke of Yan to Gao Zhun, and the fame of a good man can only be obtained immediately, and I will earn another share."

"Heroic, really manly", Duan Lun praised with a thumbs up.

Li Shimin nodded slightly, and also agreed. This shows that the title of Duke Yan will be handed over to Gao Zhun in the future. Gao Chong is now the Duke of Bohai County. means separation.

While speaking, Li Yuan's driver had arrived, accompanied by Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, King Qi Li Yuanji, King Chu Li Zhiyun, King Huai'an Li Shentong and others.

Seeing Li Shimin, Gao Chong and others, Li Zhiyun galloped over with a look of joy, "Second brother, brother You, three brothers-in-law, you are here early."

"It's just arrived," Li Shimin nodded and smiled.

In the middle of the paddock, Li Yuan is dressed in martial arts and sits on horseback.

Everyone came forward to salute, Li Yuan was in a good mood, stretched out his hand and smiled and said, "The people who came to hunt today are all from my own family, there is no need to be too polite, just enjoy yourself."

Everyone was very happy when they heard the words, and thanked them one after another, especially Li Zhiyun, who has three hobbies: archery, calligraphy and chess.

The paddock on Cuiping Mountain is very large. In summer, the trees are overgrown, the birds are singing and the cicadas are singing.

As soon as Li Yuan gave an order, he drove them away, which was hunting. For a while, rabbits, sheep, deer and other animals fled in panic.

Seeing this, Li Yuan laughed loudly: "Take my bow and horse."

Turning on his horse and holding a hard bow, Li Yuan looked around with a smile and said, "Come on, do you think my archery skills have deteriorated?"

As soon as the words fell, a gray-white rabbit rushed out of the grass in front of it. Li Yuan had quick eyes and hands, and he shot an arrow with his bow and arrow.

Hearing the sound of "Xu", the royal Jinpi arrow went straight to the rabbit, and then the rabbit fell to the ground and rolled, and the arrow pierced the rabbit's neck.

Seeing the rabbit fell to the ground, the attendant rushed forward, picked up the rabbit and held it up high. Seeing this, everyone shouted: "Your Majesty is mighty".

Li Yuan laughed with his beard, very pleased with himself.
