Chapter 124: Li Shimin urges Xiliang to travel
124. Li Shimin urged Xiliang Xing
As soon as Li Shimin and his wife came out, they saw the sly smiles of Li Pojun's brothers and sisters, and when Li Shimin saw it, he knew that these two little ghosts had a "conspiracy" again, and said with a smile: "What kind of ideas are you two thinking about?"
Hearing this, Li Lizhi jumped forward to Li Shimin and said sweetly: "Daddy is bad, people are good."
Li Shimin was also adored by his beloved daughter, and hugged and kissed him, but Li Lizhi was tied by those beards and hid to the side, causing several people to laugh.
Li Shimin took Xiao Lizhi aside and ordered: "Lizhen, can you go to the back room with your mother to read a book, I have something to say to your brother, Lizhi is good."
Xiao Lizhi followed the eldest grandson Wujian into the house in a well-behaved and sensible manner, but the eldest grandson Wujian still looked back at the father and son from time to time.
"Dad, what's the matter with you? I also put my mother in."
Li Shimin's face was solemn, "I put your mother and Lizhi into it, I'm afraid that they will worry." After speaking, his expression was very low.
Li Pojun's heart sank when he saw this, could it be that something had happened?
Before Li Pojun could open his mouth, Li Shimin said to Cui Yao, who was standing at the door of the house and was snorting and relieving the heat: "You go to Fu Bo and get a jar of chilled wine."
Cui Yao answered and went.
Li Pojun was dumbfounded, he has to drink again, huh? Or is it chilled?
That's cool, if you drink a little chilled rice wine in such a hot and humid weather, it will be really refreshing, of course, Li Pojun, who drank a high degree of wine in his previous life, drank the wine of this era as rice wine, and it is true that this wine has not been distilled and purified, and the degree is not high, except for the slightly higher degree of Sanle pulp in the Western Regions, the degree of other common liquor is relatively low.
Li Shimin also picked up a cherry and threw it into his mouth, and said: "I find that it is better to drink some wine every time I talk to you about serious matters, let alone such a hot day."
"It's also ha, but there doesn't seem to be much ice in the house," Li Pojun also asked, he also knew that ice was very precious at this time, it was collected in winter and then stored in a deep ice cellar underground, and it would become less and less with the passage of time.
"Ice? Haha, isn't it just to store ice for use, not to mention that you are going to Xiliang immediately, all the way to Yujia is hot and the road is dangerous, but there is no cold thing available, how can my father be stingy with this foreign thing."
When Li Pojun heard this, he was also very moved, and he was also ha, this trip to Xiliang was full of arid places, but it was not comparable to the water towns full of rivers and lakes such as Jingchu in the south of the Yangtze River.
Li Shimin watched Li Pojun about to go away, and took out the ice to relieve Li Pojun's temporary heat, although it was a trivial matter, but it can be described as a father's love like a mountain and meticulous.
Well? Li Pojun suddenly thought, I just said that I will go to Xiliang immediately, could it be that my father is ready.
"Dad, have you chosen the guards? I'm ready to go? Li Pojun asked expectantly, he had long wanted to go to the outside world to see.
Li Shimin restrained his smile and his face was solemn, and he said: "Well, my father has selected twenty soldiers with strong martial arts to escort you to Xiliang, these twenty soldiers are all soldiers of a hundred battles, and they are selected from the Xuanjia army for my father, and their loyalty is unquestionable, and their skills are also superior."
Li Pojun was happy when he heard it, he had a good feeling, he didn't expect his father to be so efficient, he went out in the morning, and now he will deal with it in the middle of the afternoon.
At this time, Li Shimin said again: "But twenty personal soldiers, I am afraid that it is not enough for my father, so I went to find a capable general to accompany me, you also know this person, you also praised him with your father back then, I also paid attention to it, but it is a good general, haha, my son has a good eye."
Li Pojun was stunned when he heard this, huh? And a good general? If you are accompanied by a general, the relationship is good, and the vision of the general is generally higher than that of the soldier, and there is a companion along the way. I still know? I know a lot of good generals, and there are a lot of generals in your Tiance Mansion alone. Or did I praise you? Who is that, who have I praised with you?
Just when Li Pojun was puzzled, fortunately Li Shimin didn't let him die more brain cells, and said directly: "That person is Zuo Qianniu Weilang General Su Dingfang, that is, the general you met when you went to Huazhou with your mother to worship that year, and you still praised him with me when you came back.
Li Pojun was already happy just when he started to hear Su Dingfang's name, and after hearing Li Shimin's praise for Su Dingfang, Li Pojun's heart suddenly burst out, my mother, wouldn't I be so admired and optimistic that a famous general has already entered Li Shimin's name, then I will lose a lot, and then Li Pojun thought about it carefully, and his mind turned sharply, huh? It doesn't seem like that's the case, since my father asked Su Dingfang to follow me and let me treat him well, then ...... Isn't that just for me to give Su Dingfang a favor, isn't it for me to accept Su Dingfang's meaning?
After figuring out the meaning, his mind turned sharply, and for a moment on his face, Li Pojun also said happily: "That relationship is good, the child really admires Su Dingfang very much, he is full of strategy, but he is too obscure, and he is destined to be a late bloomer." The father may use it at his discretion if he needs it". Li Pojun's face was not red and his heart was not beating and he said things against his heart, of course he didn't want Li Shimin to use Su Dingfang, in that case, Su Dingfang would not become Li Shimin's person, then he still has a hairy heart.
As soon as Li Shimin heard this, he looked at Li Pojun with a smile, and saw that Li Pojun was beating a drum in his heart, and he couldn't figure out what Li Shimin thought, but how could the scheming Li Shimin not know that Li Pojun, a political novice, was about to speak to relieve it, Cui Yao came when he came, and he came over with a swarthy jar, and the jar was wrapped around a few circles of linen, and the seal was surrounded by wheat straw.
Li Shimin took it and slapped the mud open, and a trace of cold air visible to the naked eye in the shade under the big tree floated up, and disappeared in an instant.
There was a bowl for drinking herbal tea on the stone table, Li Shimin poured two bowls, Li Pojun didn't say hello and picked up the bowl and drank a few sips, he wanted to howl in his heart at the moment, his heart was cold, his heart was flying, it was really cool.
After drinking half a bowl of cold wine like a precious pimple, he asked, "Then Dad, what do you think I am going to do?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he put down the bowl and only said four words, "Tomorrow morning." Li Pojun frowned, he was in such a hurry, although he also wanted to go quickly, but he was not in such a hurry, he had to prepare for it, it was almost time in the afternoon.
At the moment, he also asked: "Isn't it a little urgent to be so fast?"
How do you know that Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and said at the moment: "Urgent? What's the hurry? When the guards are ready, you take your horses, your gold and silver, and you're ready to go."
Li Pojun was also speechless, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he just went to Xiliang, how could he be so ...... Uh, formal, it's not life and death, it's still a one-size-fits-all conversation, it's still ...... And there is a hint of urging me to leave quickly.
