Chapter 1076: The War Begins
Time flies quickly, after the Spring Festival, there is a lively Lantern Festival, on this day Li Xiu also took his family into Chang'an City to enjoy the lanterns as in previous years, but Ping An Lang and Li Jin, the little brothers, have grown up, especially Li Jin, who has been engaged to Mingkong, so they are not with Li Xiu on this day, but act alone, after all, young people are full of energy, and it is normal to play all night.
However, it is worth mentioning that Li Jin left with Wu Mingkong, but Ping An Lang walked with Li Lizhen, and when he left, Lizhi was still shy, and after they left, Li Xiu found that the face of the lady next to him was not quite right, and it is estimated that she still didn't want Ping An Lang and Li Zhi to get too close, but the relationship between men and women is very wonderful, except for the parties involved, others can't stop it at all.
The Lantern Festival is still very lively, Li Xiu's family is also having a lot of fun, and even Li Xiu feels that this year's Lantern Festival is bigger than the Lantern Festival in previous years, which is also related to the growth of Datang's national strength and the prosperity of the people, but when looking at the noisy pedestrians on the street, Li Xiu sometimes thinks, I'm afraid these people don't know that Datang is about to usher in a new war.
Li Xiu's family didn't go back to rest until midnight, but Ping An Lang and Li Jin and their group of young people played all night, and Li Xiu didn't know when they would come back the next day, because he was also making up for sleep during the day.
However, at noon, Yi Niang found Li Xiu with an anxious face and said: "Husband, yesterday Ping'an Lang played with Lizhi all night, and just came back when he was about to have lunch, I wanted to say a few words to him, but he pretended to be sleepy and didn't listen, don't you care?" ”
In fact, since he saw Ping'an Lang and Lizhi going out together yesterday, he guessed that Yi Niang would come to find him, and then he also showed a helpless expression and said: "My son is older, and he has his own ideas, even if we are his parents, it is impossible to force him to do something, otherwise maybe my son will complain about us in the future."
"If you complain, you complain, you can't let Ping An Lang really marry Lizhi." Yi Niang wiped her tears at this time and said, she knew Lizhi's physical condition better than anything, so she really didn't want her son to marry a woman who couldn't have children.
"What you say is angry, Ping An Lang's temper should be clearer than anyone else, although it seems that he has no temper on the surface, but in fact he is a child who admits death, as long as he believes in the things, the nine cows don't want to pull back, if we really break them up, maybe Ping An Lang will do something to give up on himself." Li Xiu once again persuaded bitterly at this time.
In fact, Li Xiu had long seen that the relationship between Ping An Lang and Li Zhen was different, but it was too late at that time, and later Ping An Lang chose to study medicine, although this was his interest, but it also had a lot to do with Li Zhen, at that time Li Xiu knew that the relationship between Ping An Lang and Li Zhen could not be stopped, but Ping An Lang also knew that his mother would not agree, so he did not act like his younger brother Li Jin.
Hearing Li Xiu's words, Yi Niang couldn't help but have tears in the corners of her eyes, and after a while, she said with tears in her eyes: "I...... I only have one son, Heianlang, and if he really marries Lizhi, then ...... How will I hold my grandson in the future? ”
Yiniang gave birth to Ping'an Lang in her first child, and later gave birth to Le'an, which is considered to be a complete child, but she has never given birth since, in contrast, Princess Pingyang has two sons, and Yuechan is also more powerful, except for the first child is a daughter, the remaining two children are sons, and Yuechan is still young, maybe she can give birth in the future, but Yiniang's age is not small.
Seeing the appearance of Yi Niang, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and gently took her in his arms and comforted her: "Okay, don't cry, let the child see it and it won't be the same, if it doesn't work, let's have another son!" ”
"The husband will talk nonsense, the concubine is over thirty years old, where can she still give birth?" When Yi Niang heard Li Xiu's words, she was a little shy, and tapped Li Xiu's chest lightly and said.
"What's wrong with thirty, some time ago there was news in Wannian County, saying that a woman in her fifties actually gave birth to a son, and she is very healthy, and is regarded as auspicious by the locals, you are more than twenty years younger than others, what is it to have a child?" Li Xiu laughed at this time.
Although it is very rare for a woman to give birth at the age of fifty, it is not absolutely impossible, and the Tang Dynasty encourages childbirth, and the court will reward those who give birth to three children, and the super-old woman in Wannian County gives birth to a child, which is also regarded as an excellent propaganda material, for which the court also rewarded the other party with fifty acres of fertile land.
Although he is an old husband and wife, he heard Li Xiu say one after another that he wanted to have another child with himself, which made Yi Niang even more shy, and he couldn't help but lower his head at the moment, and Li Xiu couldn't help but move in his heart when he saw his shy appearance, and since he said that he wanted a child, he couldn't just say that he didn't practice, so he used his arms to carry Yi Niang directly to the bed.
"What are you going to do, husband?" Yi Niang was also taken aback by Li Xiu's actions, and struggled to get down at the moment.
"Of course it's a son, didn't I just say it?" Li Xiu deliberately made an innocent expression at this time.
"But...... But in the middle of the day, is it good at night? Yi Niang was also ashamed when she heard this, and when she said the end, her voice was getting lower and lower, and her eyes didn't dare to look at Li Xiu at all.
"How can this kind of thing be delayed when the day is over?" Li Xiu said crookedly at this time, and after speaking, he threw Yi Niang directly on the bed, and then pounced on himself.
Just after the Shangyuan Festival, Xue Rengui suddenly came to say goodbye to him on this day, because they had just received news that they were going to Liaodong in advance, and Li Xiu was not surprised by this, because Li Shimin was also going to Liaodong, and Xue Rengui's forbidden army must be for him to fight the front station, in other words, Li Shimin was ready to leave Chang'an at any time, and at this time, the news that Li Shimin was going to drive the imperial expedition in the court had already been reported, which was also Li Shimin's temptation of the ministers.
However, many ministers still have opposing opinions on Li Shimin's personal conquest, so when the news first came out, the court was also arguing, but Li Shimin was determined to go to Liaodong, no matter who persuaded him, it was useless, and finally Wei Zheng took a group of imperial historians to break into the Liangyi Palace to die, which made Li Shimin take a step back, but he didn't say no, but said to think about it again, as for what the result of the consideration was, he still had the final say.
Just when there was a quarrel in the court because of Li Shimin's personal expedition, a war report suddenly came from Liaodong, and Cheng Yanjin finally began to launch the first wave of offensive against Goguryeo after integrating the army!
