The Turks in the northern border were eyeing the Tang Empire covetously.

From time to time, they would block the pass and go south, looting and running away.

Historically, the Central Plains dynasty was always threatened by the iron cavalry from the northern grasslands.

Li Shimin was once deeply humiliated by them.

He wanted to avenge his previous shame all the time, but the situation did not allow it.

If you want to use troops to the north, you need at least 300,000 iron cavalry. How much supplies does such a large army need?

Of course, it is not only that. The food and food for people and horses along the way are astronomical.

One hundred stones of grain were transported to the northern front, and only thirty stones were left in the end.

Although the Tang Dynasty also had post roads, they could only be used to transmit messages.

And there was no waterway to the northern border, so it was all transported by land.

It was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the loss was too great.

If the post road could be transported, it would reach the northern front within five days. How much food would be saved?

This account, even a fool could calculate it!

In this way, not only the problem of disaster victims was solved, but also a powerful road for the empire was built.

Kill two birds with one stone!

"Boy, what's wrong with your head!"

Li Shimin rubbed Li Nian's little head lovingly, and the smile on his face could hardly be concealed.

This is simply a stroke of genius, why didn't I think of it.

In front of the documents, Li Shimin's heart was surging with blood at this moment.

"Gurgle..."

Just as the palace was filled with a relaxed atmosphere, a discordant voice sounded.

Li Nian scratched his head awkwardly and said,"Dad, I'm hungry!"

"Hahaha!"

The problem was solved, and Li Shimin was in a good mood. He said,"I'm hungry too, let's eat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the room was opened.

Several slim palace maids came in with various exquisite plates.

One plate after another was brought to the table, which made Li Nian dazzled.

Soon, the table was filled with sumptuous food and wine.

"What are you looking at? Eat!"

Li Shimin smiled and sat down. The problem was solved, and his appetite was improved. He didn't ask for anything else and started eating.

"Eat, eat."

The father and son had been busy for a long time, their stomachs were rumbling, and they didn't care about their eating manners and ate voraciously.

"Dad, you treat me well. The dishes are so rich.

Li Nian was eating happily and looked up and said with a smile.

"Is it delicious?"

Li Shimin looked at him and asked,"It's delicious. Eat more. I'll have someone send it to you later.""

"No, no, no."

Li Nian shook his head repeatedly,"This is venison and bear paws, how much does a meal cost?"

"Dad, your salary is just a few words"

"Hahaha, I saved your father some money."

Li Shimin had never thought about this question before. When he heard what Li Nian said, he burst into laughter.

"Although the food in the imperial kitchen is delicious, it is not as delicious as yours.

Seeing Li Nian eating so sweetly, Li Shimin was also very happy.

"Maybe it’s because of the different environments."

Li Nian replied:"When ordinary people eat, they like to have a lively and warm atmosphere."

"This imperial city looks solemn and dignified, but lacks a touch of fireworks."

Li Shimin was stunned, and a touch of warmth flashed in his eyes.

Yes.

Born in an imperial family, he really became a lonely man.

Even his own son is not so close to him.

At this time, he was thinking, if Li Nian really knew his identity, would he still speak so unscrupulously in front of him?

Can this unscrupulous family affection continue?

Just thinking about it, suddenly, a rapid gong sound came from outside the palace.

""Dad, what happened? Could it be that we were discovered when we came in?"

Li Nian was stunned and asked quickly.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Li Shimin frowned, stood up, patted his shoulder, and told him not to worry, and then went out.

Outside the hall, torches were burning, and a large number of Jinwu guards were searching everywhere, as if something big had happened.

"What's going on?"

Li Shimin shouted angrily. (To read the best novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Li Junxian, wearing armor, stepped forward quickly.

"Your Majesty, Princess Changle has gone missing and the imperial guards are looking for her."

"Changle?"

Li Shimin said in a low voice, then frowned and said,"Get out. It's just a small matter that has caused a big uproar in the city."

"What did I tell you to do? Who told you to come here and make a scene?"[]

Seeing Li Shimin angry, Li Junxian was so frightened that he kowtowed and apologized.

""Dad, what's wrong?"

Back in the palace, Li Nian hid in a corner and whispered

"You kid, how can you be like a thief?"

Shaking his head with a smile, Li Shimin said:"Something happened, you stay here, don't walk around, I'll go deal with it and come back later."

"Dad, are you okay?

Li Nian asked worriedly.

"Don't worry!"

After saying this, Li Shimin turned and left the palace.

Outside the house, the noise gradually disappeared, and everything returned to peace.

"No wonder the ancients said that the palace gate is as deep as the sea"

"This posture is really a bit scary."

Shaking his head, Li Nian also put all this behind him.

Seeing that his father looked calm when he left, there should be no problem.

When he was about to continue reading the memorial, he saw the palace door creaking, and then a thin figure ran in.

Looking closely, it was a little girl of eleven or twelve years old, wearing the clothes of a palace maid.

"Who are you?"

The two looked at each other at the same time.

"I am a maid in Changle Palace, who are you?"

The little girl's eyes rolled around, and then she raised her snow-white chin and asked

"I..."

""Oh, I see. Did you sneak in?"

Seeing Li Nian's hesitation, the little girl immediately became alert, and the nervousness just now dissipated instantly.

She ran to the table, looked at the sumptuous meal, and grabbed a chicken leg without hesitation and started to eat happily.

Looking at this girl, Li Nian was immediately confused.

He looked at him carefully, and then his eyes burst into a ray of light.

"You are not a palace maid!"

Although the other party was wearing the clothes of a palace maid, she was wearing an exquisite jade bracelet on her wrist.

Also, how could a palace maid come here?

This is the office of the six ministries. It is already midnight, and a little palace maid sneaked in?

Looking at her behavior, which palace maid is so bold?

""Who are you?"

Li Nian frowned and asked.

Wiping her mouth, the little girl looked Li Nian up and down and said with a smile:"Why should I tell you?"

"You didn't say who you are."

"I... I came in with my father to do some serious business!"

He pointed to the memorial on the desk and asked,"Who are you?" Just as he finished speaking, a fire lit up outside the house and footsteps approached slowly.

Seeing this, the girl quickly hid in the corner, staring outside with a nervous face.

When she saw that no one came in, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha, these people are here to arrest you!"

Li Nian immediately understood, smiled and said,"Tell me, who are you?"

"Otherwise, I will call for help!"

As he said this, he walked towards the door and was about to open it.

"don't want!"

"Please, don't call for help!"

The little girl pulled Li Nian's arm pitifully, crying

"I...I am Princess Changle, don’t call anyone, you are not allowed to call anyone!"......
