I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 120 Li Shimin transforms into a neighbor’s elder

"It's finally over."

Li Shimin also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

But it didn't bring him back to his senses completely.

"but."

"I still have to give you a chance."

"If you serve the country again in the future, I will still marry my biological sister to you. Even if you are an equal wife, what's the problem?"

Li Chengqian said with a smile again.

"Are you done yet? Do you really want Li Zheng to be your brother-in-law?"

Li Shimin said angrily.

"His Royal Highness."

"My daughter agreed on behalf of her husband."

Qin Wan'er was afraid that Li Zheng would refuse again, so she directly agreed.

"it is good."

"That's why I made a promise."

"As long as Li Zheng continues to make great contributions to the country, I will make the decision to betroth Princess Li Zhi to him."

Li Chengqian immediately smiled.

Li Zheng on the side looked helpless. Although men in this era could have three wives and four concubines, especially powerful men, his own woman helped him find other women. This was really a problem for Li Zheng. Strange.

"you…"

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't break the prince's temper and didn't know what to say.

His son has really identified with Li Zheng, and he has no reason to refute it. He can only watch Li Chengqian make this promise to marry his sister to his brother.

When Li Zheng really made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty in the future, he would find some excuse to put this matter aside.

"Little Bao'er, your name will be Li Xian from now on."

Li Shimin was too lazy to pay attention to the prince anymore, and went back to teasing Li Xian in his arms.

"emperor."

"It's already noon, it's meal time."

"Do you think we should pass on the food?"

Wang De on the side asked respectfully.

"Today you and I will have a meal here with our father and son, chat about home affairs, and discuss the details of the wedding banquet."

"Wan'er is the daughter of our old brother Shu Bao. We have to take a lot of care in this marriage."

Li Shimin immediately said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Zheng, his wife, and Qin Jiansheng immediately thanked them.

It was a great honor to eat in the side hall of Daming Palace, but it was also very reserved for them.

After all, they are not Li Chengqian and can get along well with Li Shimin, and there is no need to worry about Li Shimin getting angry.

"Go and pass on the food."

Li Shimin smiled.

Then he held Bao'er and continued to coax him.

He had no intention of returning him to Qin Waner.

This made Li Zheng and Qin Wan'er look at each other, somewhat confused.

It felt like the child Li Shimin was holding was not someone else's child, but rather his own direct bloodline.

However, in Li Zheng's view, this may also be a demonstration of the emperor's favor.

Qin Jiansheng on the side felt the same way, lamenting the emperor's great kindness.

"What are you all standing for?"

"Sit down."

"Let's chat by the way."

"This is not Tai Chi Hall, you don't need to be so formal."

Li Shimin smiled at the three of them, while he continued to hold Bao'er and coax him.

The smile on his face almost made him smile all year long.

"Sit and sit."

"It's rare that my father is so happy today."

"Go and pass another pot of wine."

"It's rare that we don't talk about political affairs today and just have a nice drink."

Prince Li Chengqian smiled and said to the eunuch beside him.

"The slaves obey."

The eunuch immediately went down to pick up the wine.

Soon.

In the center of the side hall, there was a table with a few chairs beside it.

Dishes were brought to the table one by one.

but. Li Zheng was a little surprised when he saw the dishes on the table. As the emperor, Li Shimin actually ate these. Among the dozen dishes, they were all ordinary vegetarian dishes, and there were only two meat dishes.

"There is no big fish or meat in the palace, so you just have to make do with it."

Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Your Majesty has given you too much praise."

Li Zheng and Qin Jiansheng immediately bowed.

"Sit down."

Li Shimin smiled and sat down directly, while Prince Li Chengqian sat next to him.

Li Zheng and Qin Waner sat together, while Qin Jiansheng sat opposite Li Shimin.

"emperor."

"You are tired of hugging me. Do you want my daughter to hug you?"

Qin Wan'er looked at Li Shimin and asked respectfully.

"Wan'er, you are looking down on us.

"When we were raising children, it was quite a lot."

"Don't talk about hugging for a while, even if you hug her for a day, we won't be tired."

Li Shimin said with a smile. At this moment, he did not look like a lofty emperor, but like a kind elder.

"By the way, Li Zheng."

"Who are the elders in your family?"

Li Shimin suddenly asked, seemingly carelessly, but in fact he was very concerned.

"Report to Your Majesty."

"He is in charge of affairs in Chen's family. He has been very good to me since he was a child. I regard him as a relative."

Li Zheng replied immediately.

"Then besides the old manager, are your parents no longer in your family? Have you been dependent on this manager since you were a child?"

Li Shimin asked again.

"Don't hide it from your majesty."

"I have never seen my father since I was a child. My mother single-handedly raised me. My mother passed away five years ago."

Li Zheng said helplessly.

"Sure enough, he has never seen his father."

"After Cuiping left with herself, she never married and raised Li Zheng alone."

"But does Cuiping hate herself so much? She won't let her child go to Chang'an until she dies, but why does she want him to have her last name?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng, his mind drifting to sixteen years ago.

After a long time, I came back to my senses.

Li Shimin felt a little ashamed and said, "Then...we are talking too much."

"Your Majesty is caring about me, I would be very grateful."

Li Zheng immediately stood up and bowed.

"OK OK."

"There are so many rules for eating, so eat first."

The prince said with a smile.

Then he picked up the chopsticks directly.

Seeing this, Li Zheng and Qin Waner also picked up their chopsticks. However, they were still too restrained to let go when facing Li Shimin in this side hall.

"Qin Qing, who are you going to invite to Li Zheng's marriage?"

Prince Li Chengqian asked with a smile.

"Naturally, I have an old relationship with my Duke Protector's Palace. Once the wedding date is set, I will go and distribute the invitations one by one."

"And I heard that Wan'er's godfather, Duke Wei, is coming back soon, and he will be able to catch up with Wan'er's wedding."

Qin Jiansheng replied with a smile.

"Gong Wei, the Northern Expedition has been more than a year, and I haven't seen him for a long time."

"After Li Zheng's wedding, I will be going to Yangzhou. I don't know how long it will take."

Li Chengqian said with a smile.

I heard I was going to Yangzhou.

Li Zheng's heart moved.

in history.

Li Chengqian went to Yangzhou and contracted a serious illness. After returning to Chang'an, his temperament changed drastically, and he finally committed a treasonous act. In the end, the crown prince was deposed. It was a pity.

"Li Chengqian values ​​me so much, I will definitely have a place in his empire in the future."

"If you want to prevent him from having a tragedy later on, you must remind him."

Li Zheng thought secretly in his heart.

"Your Highness."

"It's a long way to go to Yangzhou, and the area south of the Yangtze River is full of dysentery. In my opinion, the prince's health seems to be a little sick. I feel that the prince should recover from his illness before going."

Li Zheng immediately reminded him.
