Chapter 723 The old father-in-law from Xiangxiong Country

There are a lot of people who came this time, this congratulatory gift said good things, it was really long-winded, Fang Yiai waited for two hours, and I haven't seen the slightest loosening scene in the Xuanzheng Palace, there is no rut, Fang Yiai touched the belly stroke and waved his hand silently.

"Boss Cheng, you blow some first, and the younger brother will go find something to eat, look at this situation, it won't be over for a while!" Fang Yiai is really hungry, he drank a little porridge for breakfast, and he didn't eat lunch, if he waited until Li Shimin had a dinner, he wouldn't starve to death? Fang Yiai had just taken two steps, and Cheng Chumo behind him shouted in a low voice, "Brother Jun, bring some back for Brother Wei, it's a shame that I didn't go in to join in the fun, otherwise I won't be able to eat something!" ”

"Wait!" Fang Yiai went straight to the imperial dining room, this stomach was hungry, and naturally he had to find the kitchen. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate of the imperial dining room, Fang Yiai shouted at the top of his voice, "Xin is in charge, Xin is in charge, get some food for this son, this is starving to death!" ”

In the past, as long as Fang Yiai called, Steward Xin would run out in a hurry, but this time he called for a long time, and Steward Xin was stunned and didn't react. Fang Yi's love was a little uncomfortable, this Xin steward was so benevolent that he dared to ignore his second son. Fang Yiai walked into the house angrily, but as soon as he took two steps, he saw a woman walk out of the door. This woman is graceful and dignified, and there is still a hint of displeasure on her face.

Fang Yiai was dumbfounded, how could it be Empress Changsun, at this time, shouldn't Empress Changsun accept the envoy's congratulations in the Xuanzheng Palace?

"Jun'er, what are you yelling at?" Empress Changsun couldn't help but blush, she couldn't rest assured, so she took the excuse to come out and order the imperial dining room, but she didn't think that this person had not left yet, and she heard Fang Yiai shouting outside.

Fang Yiai didn't dare to refute, so she had to lower her head and smile embarrassedly, "Queen Mother, the child knows that it is wrong, why are you not in the Xuanzheng Palace, what are you doing in the imperial dining room?" ”

"Aren't you relieved, tonight your father is going to feast the envoys, I'm afraid that something will go wrong, so I'll come over and give an order. It's Jun'er, you, this is a good word for the minister, why don't you go into the palace and watch, why are you staying outside? ”

"Hehe, don't say goodbye, the child can't stand that group of Fanbang barbarians, what they say is beautiful, but their stomachs are a bunch of chickens and dogs. It's better to guard outside, and those barbarians in the province don't understand the rules and cause some trouble! ”

Empress Eldest Sun smiled bitterly and shook her head, she also knew Fang Yiai's bear temper, "Jun'er, you eat something to fill your stomach first, and follow me back to the Xuanzheng Hall in a while. ”

"Uh, Queen Mother, wait a minute, my son-in-law's little thing will go with you!" Fang Yiai is gone, and the eldest grandson queen is staring at him, can he still refuse. asked Steward Xin for a few snacks, Fang Yiai gobbled up his belly, and along the way, Fang Yiai continued to eat, which made the palace maid behind him laugh. Empress Eldest Sun snorted coldly, "It's really bold, even the master dares to make fun of it?" ”

"The queen mother forgives her sins, the servants don't dare!" Several palace maids shrank their necks in fright, and hurriedly begged for mercy. Fang Yiai didn't feel any shame, he arched his hand and said with a smile, "Queen Mother, don't be embarrassed about this girl, anyway, the child is not lacking anything!" ”

"You, you just don't pay attention to the rules, but I heard Changle say it, and now those girls in your courtyard are becoming more and more disagreeable. It's not the queen mother who said you, you are a royal colt, a general, and you will pay attention to proportions in the future! "Empress Eldest Sun said this for the sake of her hobby, and it is good for her subordinates, which is not a bad thing, but if you mess with the rules, it will not work.

Fang Yiai scratched his head in embarrassment, he wanted to change the rules, the question was whether those girls could still change it? "The queen mother's training is that the child must change in the future!"

Looking at Fang Yiai's eyes, Empress Eldest Sun knew that this was in vain, "Come on, I don't bother to take care of your family's affairs, as long as you don't let people see the joke!" ”

As Empress Changsun entered the Xuanzheng Hall through the side door, it was said that it was the first time that Fang Yiai came in from the side corridor, which was dedicated to Li Shimin. Fang Yiai entered the Xuanzheng Hall quietly, but Cheng Zhi, who was waiting outside, was silent, this guy waited for a long time and didn't wait for Fang Yiai, so he had to find the palace maid and eunuch on an empty stomach to eat.

Empress Eldest Sun naturally sat beside Li Shimin, and Fang Yiai swept around and stood behind Li Ke. Take a look at the stage, Changle is also sitting on it, hey, Li Shimin is really a daughter, Li Ke didn't enjoy the treatment of sitting, but let Changle enjoy it.

Not long after Fang Yiai stood still, Li Ke took a step back, and stepped on the toes of Fang Yiai's heels vigorously. Seeing Fang Yiai's painful frown, Li Ke whispered, "Brother Jun, are you willing to come in?" ”

"What do you mean to be willing to come in? For Brother De, you better be honest, my father is still looking at us! Li Ke didn't believe Fang Yiai's words, but they looked at the stage and quickly stood up straight. There is no other reason, Li Shimin is looking at this with a smile.

Watching the envoys from many countries come in to offer congratulatory gifts, it was not interesting at all, and after standing for an hour, it made Fang Yiai want to yawn. Fortunately, just when Fang Yiai lost patience, the entire congratulatory ceremony was finally completed, and after a mountain shouted long live, the envoys slowly left the Xuanzheng Palace. As soon as the gang broke up, Fang Yiai wanted to go out to get some air, but as soon as the person turned around, he felt that someone had patted him on the shoulder.

Turning his head, seeing Zhao Chong's face rushing over, Fang Yiai shrunk his neck, rolled his eyes and asked, "Old Zhao, what the hell are you doing, Your Majesty is about to leave, why don't you hurry up and follow!" ”

"Second son, Your Majesty is looking for you to go!" Zhao Chong said, and pointed his hand at Li Shimin on the stage. Turning his head to look, Li Shimin was really waving at him.

Fang Yiai was quite puzzled, the envoys all went to Beiyuan to attend the banquet, why did Li Shimin call him at this time? Puzzled all the way, Fang Yiai followed Li Shimin to the Manna Palace.

originally thought that Li Shimin wanted to discuss some bad ideas with him again, but when he entered the Xuanzheng Palace, he found that there was still a person sitting in the room, and that person had a Tubo-style hat wrapped around his head, and even his clothes were Tibetan robes with raw edges. Fang Yiai took a closer look, and this person was about forty years old, of medium height, but quite athletic, with a circle of beard.

After the man bowed to Li Shimin, he also observed Fang Yiai with great interest, and at this time, Fang Yiai's eyes widened, what kind of barbarian country is this, and he dared to look at someone in his room.

"Who are you?" Fang Yiai is not a master to be messed with, this time the barbarian didn't even report his name, didn't he make it clear that he didn't take someone in his room in his eyes?

Seeing that Fang Yiai exuded a fierce aura again, Li Shimin hurriedly coughed twice, he glared, and shouted at Fang Yiai, "Fang Jun, why are you talking, this is His Royal Highness Qu Song, the king of Xiangxiong Kingdom!" ”

What? King Qu Song? Isn't that the father of the bottle, in other words, it is the old father-in-law of Taishan who is someone in his room, swallowing his saliva, Fang Yiai quickly slowed down his expression, and bowed down to Qu Song to make a big salute, "Father-in-law, please accept the worship of the son-in-law, just the son-in-law is offended, and please don't blame the father-in-law!" ”

Qu Song didn't seem to be displeased, he picked up Fang Yiai, and said with a hearty smile, "Hurry up, if you retreated just now, I would look down on you." Hehe, my Qu Song's son-in-law, it must be a man who stands up to the sky! ”

Qu Song knows a lot about Fang Yiai, especially in the letter from the bottle, he always says that Fang Yiai is a rare warrior. Before, Qu Song didn't pay much attention to it, but now when he saw it, he completely let go of his heart. A twenty-year-old young man, but he can look at him head-on, and he is not inferior, and this courage alone is worthy of admiration.

After seeing the ceremony, Fang Yiai couldn't help but show a little inquiring, he remembered that Qu Song had not passed through the Luoma Pavilion, and it seemed that even the intelligence department did not know the news of his coming to Chang'an.

Li Shimin also knew what Fang Yiai was thinking, and after letting Fang Yiai sit on the chair, he explained with a smile, "Jun'er, don't guess, King Qu Song entered Beijing secretly!" ”

"Huh? Father, is the Tibetan people taking action again? Fang Yiai instantly figured out the key to it, and the only one who could make Qu Song deal with it so carefully was the Tubo people. Although in the Western Regions, the Turks are the strongest, but that is only limited to the grasslands of the Western Regions, if it is on the northwest plateau, the Turks really can't fight the Xiangxiong Kingdom.

"Yes, a few days ago, the five guards of Qiucang secretly transferred nearly 30,000 horses from the two guards to Sun Boru's area, and their purpose is not very clear!" As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, Fang Yi's love knew what was going on, and it seemed that the people of Garmu had already begun to prepare. Sun Boru is a vast area to the west of the White Jade City, from Sun Boru to the west, you can directly enter Tocharo, to the northeast, you can enter the city of Doma, Li Shimin does not understand the purpose of the Tubo people, it is not a strange thing.

Since Li Shimin had already mentioned this, Fang Yiai said casually, "Father, if it is true that the Tubo people are attacking Sun Bo, then we have to guard against it." Once the Tubo soldiers are directed at Baiyu City, then Malkang will be unstable. ”

"Yes, I came to you for this purpose, Jun'er, I have already discussed with King Qu Song, and I plan to let Tuoba capture the tiger return to Malkang!"

"This father, it's a good way to let Tuoba capture the tiger go back to Malkang, but what if Tuoba captures the tiger out of control?" Although she promised a thousand times in her heart, Fang Yiai still showed a worried expression.

Li Shimin seemed to have thought about this a long time ago, he nodded and said with a wry smile, "I have also thought about it, after Tuoba captures the tiger back, I will let Zhi lose his strength and lead the right guard to garrison Qinzhou." In this way, it can not only prevent Malkang, but also not make Tuoba capture the tiger too disgusted! ”

Fang Yixin secretly shook his head, Li Shimin still underestimated Tuoba and captured the tiger, if Tuoba captured the tiger really rebelled, it would be impossible for Qinzhou's right guard to reach Songzhou City quickly. And Tuoba also has the ability to quickly conquer Songzhou and Minzhou, and then coerce Xingzhou and Qinzhou. However, since Li Shimin is so confident that he can control Malkang, Fang Yiai will not be stupid enough to point out Li Shimin's flaws.

"What my father said is that if you have already decided, then the little son-in-law will take the time to talk to Tuoba and capture the tiger, and strive to let him return to Malkang as soon as possible to prevent any accidents from happening!"

"Well, that's the best. Jun'er, it's inconvenient for King Qu Song to show up, so you can find a way to let him meet your daughter-in-law! When Li Shimin said this, Fang Yiai had no choice but to smile and nodded. I'm afraid this is the main reason why Li Shimin called him here, after all, Qu Song wants to see the bottle.

After discussing a little thing, Li Shimin left the Ganlu Hall to Fang Yiai and Qu Song, seeing that there was no one else, Fang Yiai was also a lot more casual, he arched his hand to Qu Song, and said with a smile, "Father-in-law, when the banquet is over, the son-in-law will arrange for you to meet Yin'er." It's just that the son-in-law still has a reluctant invitation! ”

"Good boy, let's say it, we don't have so many rules, you just have something to say!"

"Hehe, the son-in-law wants to ask the father-in-law to shave off his beard, so that it won't be so dazzling!"

Listening to Fang Yiai's words, Qu Song laughed, "What does the old man think is the matter, isn't it just shaving off his beard, hehe!" ”

Qu Song is so hearty, Fang Yiai has saved a lot of heart, I am afraid of running into a black-hearted father-in-law like Li Shimin, if Li Shimin is also like Qu Song, how good it would be! (To be continued.) )
