Someone accompanied the smiling face along the way, walking with the angry and unhappy Emperor Li Zhi on the road from the palace to the harem. The passing maids and eunuchs, as well as the Jinwu guards guarding the palace, were not the first to see this scene. At this time, naturally no one dared to touch these two people, so they started to bow and salute them even though they were far away.
Naturally, it was only after the two of them walked out as fast as the wind that they dared to slowly straighten up and continue working on their own affairs.
As for some smarter and bolder eunuchs and maids, as long as they take a look at the eunuch Hua Ji behind His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince, and the big footprints on his robe, they will know that Hua Ji has once again become His Majesty the Emperor and the Crown Prince. His Highness was the victim of tit-for-tat confrontation.
"Father, can you still have a pleasant chat? Pei Xingjian should have given you some tips, right? Don't you understand the situation in Tubo? As for the four towns of Anxi, yes, we now have many strong soldiers and generals, but You have to give them time. The recruitment system has just been implemented in Anxi, and they have not received systematic training and have no combat effectiveness at all. Facing the white-clothed food and Tocharo, it is inevitable that they will be at a disadvantage. . What's more, except for my six guards from the East Palace, weren't the rest of them slowly transferred to the Yunzhong Protectorate? Once the war in Liaodong got out of control, they could quickly take over. And even more so. The important thing is that on the top of the head of the Goryeo stick, Shiwei and Mohe, who have not been conquered by us since the emperor's grandfather, have always been eyeing us and have to be on guard. In addition, the southwest Liuzhao has already had other ideas, and you have been secretly supporting them in the past few years. How about raising a group of white-eyed wolves that are more shameless than Gaoli Bangzi? So..."
"Stop, I don't want to talk to you now. I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. Everything you said makes sense, okay? Lord Shangshuling!" Li Zhi stopped and stared at the hunched-over man with a flattering look on his face. The flattering Lord Shangshu Ling said angrily.
So, the father and son, who didn't want to see each other in the palace, kept silent, while the other, like talkative Li Lingyue, hurried to Penglai Palace.
"Four is four, ten is ten, fourteen is fourteen, and forty is forty; whoever says fourteen is "ten is appropriate", beat him fourteen; whoever says forty is "ten is appropriate", beat him forty… ."
"Cowherd loves Liu Niang, Liu Niang misses Cowherd, Cowherd loves Liu Niang again and again, Liu Niang misses Niang Niang again and again. Cowherd misses Liu Niang every year, Liu Niang misses Cowherd every year. Lang Lianniang comes to her mother to love Lang, miss her. The mother loves the mother and the mother loves the man, the cow loves the mother and the mother loves the cow.
"Put a big flower toad in a big flower bowl. Put a big flower toad in a big flower bowl..."
Li Zhi and Li Hong walked into the hall of Penglai Hall dumbfounded, and saw Li Lingyue holding a piece of paper in her hand. In front of her stood several maids with red faces who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Opposite them were There were several palace maids standing there who looked embarrassed. Obviously, those tongue twisters just now came from their mouths.
"Your pronunciation is wrong, you should hit her with 'Shi Shi', no, it's 'Shi Shi', ah... Brother Huang taught her so hard, Mother." Li Lingyue wrinkled her face, put down the paper in her hand weakly, and said He looked at Wu Mei who had just asked the palace maid to trim her nails with a sad face, and said nagging.
"You deserve the trouble you brought upon yourself. Did you get deceived by that little brat again?" Wu Mei looked at Li Lingyue with a distressingly wrinkled face dotingly, and stretched out her hand to caress the originally delicate face. I want to relax that wrinkled little face.
Li Lingyue twisted, wanting not to admit defeat, but now she had no choice but to say yes, and followed Wu Mei to stand up to greet Li Zhi.
"I have seen my father, and I have seen... hum, a bad guy!" Li Lingyue looked at Li Hong who was smiling at her, pouted her lips, and was about to cry.
"Li Lingyue, you asked for this yourself. You can't blame the emperor, right?" After Li Hong greeted Wu Mei, he rubbed the exquisite hair accessories on Li Lingyue's head, which Bai Chun had given her the energy to take care of this morning. .
"But it's so hard."
"It's okay. I'll take this to the Imperial Academy tomorrow and see that old man Yan Zhaofu... Oh, let's see if Mr. Yan Zhaofu can do it. Think about the knotted look on his mouth. Wouldn't it be interesting... Ouch... Mother let go, it hurts. Yes, my ear fell off." Li Hong bent over and stretched his head, and Wu Mei grabbed his ear with a pale face.
"As Lingyue's imperial brother and the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, can you teach her some good things? Can you not let Li Lingyue torture those gentlemen for you? If Li Lingyue is so young, you will take advantage of her. You really don't have a conscience. Does it hurt?" After saying the last sentence, Wu Mei's face looked a little unnatural, and she let go of Li Hong's ears angrily. This last sentence was something Li Lingyue often said, but she didn't expect that she would say it smoothly today.
Li Hong helplessly rubbed his painful ears, glanced at Li Lingyue who was frequently making strange faces in front of him, and demonstratively wanted to tickle her, which frightened the chatterbox and hurriedly giggled and hid behind Li Zhi. , holding Li Zhi's thigh and continuing to make faces at Li Hong.
Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi, who looked unhappy and unhappy, and then looked at the bitch who was teasing Li Lingyue but had a look on his face that wanted to apologize. She knew that the father and son must have had an unpleasant incident in the court. , otherwise how could it be possible? After going down to the court, the father and son ran over together as if they had made a promise.
Wu Mei considerately asked the palace maid to take Li Lingyue to play aside, and then accompanied Li Zhi to another spring-filled hall. An exquisitely made five-wheeled hourglass was placed in the corner. The small bronze figure on it was originally But it turned into Li Lingyue's favorite cartoon image, like two teddy bears, standing there ready to ring the bell.
Wu Mei looked at Li Hong who was smiling dryly, snatched the tea prepared for Li Zhi from the hand of the palace maid, and placed it in Li Zhi's hand attentively. She was even more sure that this little brat seemed to be in the court today. Go up and make his father very angry.
"Li Hong, what outrageous thing have you done?" Wu Mei sat down opposite Li Zhi and asked Shangshu Ling, who was standing next to the two of them without taking up his seat.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I didn't think well in the court today and put forward some superficial opinions, which made my father unhappy..."
"How dare I say that your Lord Shangshu Ling's opinions are shallow? It's only shallow for me to ignore the opinions of people all over the world. I am not as kind and filial as your Lord Shangshu Ling." Li Zhi continued to snort dissatisfied.
"Father, it's boring for you to be like this. I've been talking to you all this time..."
"Okay, now that you've talked about it all the way, tell me why this matter of helping Belus regain its kingdom and promoting your father's brilliance and martial arts became so popular when it came to you, Li Hong. Don't understand? Don't tell me that Tubo, Liaodong, Liuzhao, and Anxi are all unstable. How did you conquer Tubo? You think I don't know? You are a traitor!" Li Zhi sighed sadly, Li Hong was speechless after hearing this.
What does this have to do with Nizi? Don’t you just want to talk about the explosives I used to conquer Tibet? Isn't it because you have explosives that you are determined to help Belus recover? !
"Father, don't you just want to talk about the Tianlei troops that I named the 'Shenji Battalion'? Don't you know that after I came back from Anxi, the first thing I did was to organize the reorganized Shenji Battalion." The camp was handed over to your Jinwu Guards? Erchen does not have such things in his hands now. You are in charge of these personally. As for Anxi and Tubo, are they what Erchen asked you for a few days ago? The escort along the way to Anxi and Tubo was also specially managed by people from the Shenji Camp, and no one was allowed to touch or inquire about it. "
"It's with me, but don't you still have Taiyi City?" Li Zhi was still dissatisfied, but his expression was obviously much better than before.
"What can you do with that little bit of Taiyi City? Why don't you keep it for further research on how to improve stability? You don't know that the foot of Taiyi Mountain has been bombed several times. Although this Shenji Battalion is now regarded as a powerful weapon for conquest by the Tang Dynasty, It is not very perfect now. It will take some time to really perfect it so that it can become a weapon for siege... What is more realistic is that these things are not suitable for the terrain of Tocharo and White Food, where If a war breaks out, it will be an encounter. If you want to rely on the sky thunder to win, you can only win one or two wars. When people know that we have this weapon, they will not conflict with us head-on. What's more, we will. The Tang Dynasty must rely on people, not artifacts, so I disagree with you... "
"Little bastard, you don't see the benefits of helping Belus regain its kingdom, do you? Don't lie to your father with so many useless lies. Is it because the restoration of Belus is not of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty? "Wu Mei looked at Li Hong lightly and asked.
After listening to a few words, she understood why the father and son were quarreling. After the recent period of physical training, His Majesty always had the ability to feel good about himself, so he began to dwell on the regrets of his life: to conquer the world in person. A person demonstrates his literary, Taoist and military skills.
"Well... you can't say that. There are still benefits, but compared with the actual benefits, the benefits of helping them recover are very small. What's more, the white food and the Tocharians are not given for free. The strength of the cavalry is not weaker than that of the Tang Dynasty."
"It's unbecoming for a prince of the Tang Dynasty to make someone else's ambition and destroy his own prestige before the war begins." Li Zhi was right at first and found the mistake. He had been with Wu Mei and his wife for many years, and he knew just one word from Wu Mei. , he lost, and neither mother nor son seemed to agree with sending troops in the near future to help Napelus regain its kingdom.
