Tang Dynasty: What! My mother is actually Empress Zhangsun

The court was over.

All officials left the Purple Palace and went to their respective offices to work.

Today's court meeting was a mixture of joy and sorrow.

The military commanders were naturally happy.

His Majesty paid so much attention to the lives of the old soldiers, so they naturally felt proud.

The only two people who were worried were Wei Ao, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, who was still unconscious, and Li Chengqian.

"In this weather, wouldn’t it be nice to stay in the palace?"

"My father asked me to visit the old soldiers of the border army. Isn't this embarrassing for me, Bo Qian?"

With a sigh, Li Chengqian left in a depressed mood.

"Prime Minister Fang, Minister Du, Lord Changsun, His Majesty has summoned you."

The three were walking side by side, ready to leave, when they were stopped by an old eunuch.

"Lao Fang, His Majesty summoned us at this time, what do you think it is about?"

Following behind the old eunuch, Du Ruhui, who was dressed in official uniform, asked

"I think he was asking about the plan to use troops against the Turks."

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said,"Your Majesty reprimanded the Jingzhao Yin in a high-profile manner during the court today. What he did was to show the military generals.��"

"Duke Lu also understood and kicked Wei Ao. Otherwise, how could the generals gather their hearts and minds?"

"After this operation, the generals will not rush forward to the northern expedition to the Turks soon?"

Du Ruhui's mouth twitched and he shook his head secretly.

The emperor's mind is as deep as the sea!

Soon, the three of them came to the outside of Ganlu Palace.

"No need to be polite. I have three main things to ask you to come here!"

Li Shimin waved his hand casually, motioning them to sit down.

"First, the flood in Hedong has become so serious that it must be taken seriously."

""Lord Du, I order you to set out in a few days to inspect the three canals and ensure smooth navigation."

The three canals are Guangtong Canal, Yongji Canal, and Tongji Canal.

These three canals run through the north and south and across the east and west, and are important water transportation routes.

With these three canals, grain from the south of the Yangtze River can be transported to Chang'an, and goods from the north and south can circulate between each other.

The smooth flow of the three canals is related to the economic lifeline of the Tang Dynasty.

Once blocked, the millions of people in Chang'an will be out of food, and the consequences will be disastrous!

Fortunately, there are water transport offices in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, each of which is responsible for the smooth flow of canals in their respective areas. Unless a flood occurs that has not occurred in a century, under normal circumstances, it is just a matter of inspecting the river bank and reinforcing the river bank.

Du Ruhui's task is not difficult, but it is very important.

""I accept your order!"

Du Ruhui replied respectfully.

"Do you know why I sent you to visit the old soldiers of the Tang army?"

Turning his gaze to Fang Xuanling, Li Shimin said with a smile

"To appease the army, Your Majesty is going to use troops against the Turks!"

Fang Xuanling did not pretend and answered directly.

"That's right!"

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said,"So, this trip must be made public and known to everyone."

"The prince is young, you can make your own decisions on specific matters."

Fang Xuanling quickly stood up and saluted,"I will never disappoint your majesty."

Changsun Wuji also stood up from the stool and listened attentively.

"I want to send someone to Tuli's army to discuss the matter of attacking Jie Li. You can go!"

Changsun Wuji hesitated.

There are so many officials in the Ministry of Rites. Why did this matter fall on his head?

"Don't worry, the specific matters will be handled by the Third Prince Li Ke, you just need to accompany him!"

When the three heard this, they immediately understood.

The Third Prince Li Ke, this person is really impeccable!

Li Ke's mother is a princess of the previous Sui Dynasty, and has a blood relationship with Tuli.

If you really count, Li Ke should call Tuli grandpa. It is really appropriate for Li Ke to be an envoy to Tuli.......

After finishing his political affairs, it was already 2:00 in the afternoon.

Li Shimin shook off his fatigue and came to the Lizheng Hall.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing Li Shimin and the other two, Empress Changsun also hurried to the door to welcome him.

"No need to be polite!"

Li Shimin waved his sleeves and said with joy:"Hurry up and serve the food. I am very hungry!"

Seeing Li Shimin like this, Empress Zhangsun also smiled warmly. She winked at the maid beside her, and then sat beside her and said with a smile:"Your Majesty is in a very good mood today!"

A good mood means a good appetite.

Li Shimin shouted that he was hungry when he entered the door, which shows that he was in a very good mood today.

"Most of the affairs in the court have been resolved. I can finally sleep peacefully!"

There were no outsiders in the hall, so Li Shimin smiled casually.

"Oh, then I want to congratulate Your Majesty!"

Empress Changsun stood up with a smile and began to massage Li Shimin's shoulders and legs.

"But, if Qian'er is sent outside, how can he endure the hardship in the continuous rain?"

Li Er put down his teacup, raised his eyebrows, and asked,"Did Qian'er come to you to complain?"

"He came right after the court session and complained a little."

Empress Chang Sun explained,"I think so too. It is important to visit the old soldiers on the frontier, but Qian'er is the crown prince. I'm afraid he doesn't need to go for such a small matter."

Li Er shook his head and said helplessly,"Women's opinions!"

"I have decided to use military force. Visiting the old soldiers on the border at this time can boost morale!"

"What's more, it was Kuan'er who reminded me that this child had already taken the lead."

When Empress Changsun heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows.

"Kuan'er, is he going too?"

Li Er pretended to be angry and said,"Why, Kuan'er is going, but Qian'er can't go?"

"Go, go!"

Empress Changsun was a little angry at first, but when she heard this, she immediately smiled and said,"It's time to let Qian'er experience some experience."

"You!"

Seeing that Empress Changsun's attitude suddenly changed, Li Er suppressed his laughter and said,"I think you are a little biased!"

"How could I not have that?"

With a little force on her palm, Empress Changsun pretended to be calm and said,"They are all my children. How could I favor one over the other?"���

"Yes, yes, you are the fairest mother in the world!"

Seeing that Empress Changsun finally gave in, Li Er also said jokingly

"Your Majesty, what do you think will happen if these two children meet?"

Empress Changsun asked thoughtfully.

"That's right."

Li Er narrowed his eyes and began to think.......

Outside Anhua Gate.

Several yellow horses galloped past, followed closely by a team of guards wearing armor and holding golden spears.

"Brother Li!"

Qin Huaiyu pulled the reins and apologized:"I'm so sorry, I'm late!"

Behind Qin Huaiyu, there were four young men in tight clothes, all of whom had dashing brows and extraordinary heroic spirit.

Li Nian said:"It's okay, I just got here too."

Turning his eyes to those men, Li Nian smiled and said:"Who are these guys?......"

Qin Huaiyu laughed and explained quickly:"These guys are my good brothers, and we grew up together."

Then he turned around, stretched out his hand to Li Nian, and said:"This is the doctor Li I mentioned to you, Li Nian!"

"Cheng Chumo!"

The black-faced man bowed and asked with a handsome smile on his face.

"Brother Cheng!"

After taking a closer look at him, he saw that he was tall, dark-skinned, with thick lips, and a simple and honest look. However, his bright eyes showed that his owner was not an ordinary person.

Li Nian was also surprised.

This was the son of Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Chu was silent!

"Luo Tong!"

On the other side, a heroic young man bowed slightly and said in a familiar way:"I heard from Brother Huaiyu that Doctor Li is extraordinary. We are bored at home, so we came here today to see him."

Li Nian smiled enthusiastically and said:"It's just a little bit of medical skills, not worthy of the title of miracle doctor."

"Hey!"

Qin Huaiyu immediately stood up and said,"Brother Li, I have boasted so much, you can't ruin my performance!"

"Hahahaha!"

In the back, a pair of young men who looked very similar laughed and said,"Brother Huaiyu,"

"Yuchi Baolin!"

"Yuchi Baoqing!"

The two of them bowed slightly and introduced themselves to Li Nian.

""Hello, two major generals!"

Li Nian nodded and returned the greeting.

After everyone finished introducing themselves, Qin Huaiyu said,"Although these herbs are not difficult to find, it took me a lot of effort to find such a large quantity."

"If it weren't for the help of these brothers, I really couldn't gather so many at once."

Hearing this, Li Nian immediately bowed to them and said,"Thank you very much." Cheng

Chumo waved his hand and said in a sullen tone,"The old soldiers of the border army in Wugong County were all under the command of our father. It is only right to do something for them."

"That's it."

"Brother Li is able to take the initiative to help our Tang veterans, which makes us admire him."

Seeing several people flattering each other, Qin Huaiyu twitched his mouth and said,"It's getting late, let's talk on the way!"

"Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, six young men rode out at full speed, followed by a team of soldiers, escorting several large carts, heading towards Wugong County.
