"Your Majesty, the maid of the Shangshi Bureau has arrived, you see ......"

At this time, Liu Sanshui's voice came from outside the door.

"Pass it in." Li Shimin came back to his senses and shouted outside.

After a few breaths, eight cold and eight hot, three soups, a total of 19 dishes, were served on the table.

Frowning and looking at the dishes on the table, Li Shimin said with some dissatisfaction: "The cooks of this Shangshi Bureau should also be replaced, how long has it been before the dishes are served!" ”

"Brother Huang, you just have to settle for a little!" , Li Yuanba took two bites and said: "Look at the delicacies of the mountains and seas on this table, it only took half a pillar of incense to make it, and the cooks in my house didn't cook so fast!" ”

“……”

Li Shimin was suddenly a little speechless, is this guy here to chill me? Everyone knows that stir-fried food is researched by your martial king, if the chefs in your house are not good, then the chefs in the palace are even worse!

……

"Yuanba, this time I returned from Ryukyu, I guess the affairs of Ryukyu have been handled almost well, right?"

Full of wine and food, Li Shimin finally got to the point, it was really this matter that made him feel like a fish in his throat, and he had to ask.

Being able to hold it for so long, Li Yuanba is really uncomfortable for his brother.

"Almost!" Li Yuanba muttered twice and said, "Yang Jun's power in the Ryukyus has been completely eliminated by our Tang Dynasty, and the main figures in it have also been arrested by me, so Yang Jun's ...... Now he is locked up in the edict prison of Dali Temple! ”

"I heard that Yang Jun was already crazy before he was escorted into Chang'an City?" Li Shimin said with some curiosity.

"Crazy? How is this possible! Li Yuanba laughed twice and continued: "Yang Yun has survived under our noses for so many years, and it has almost become instinct to endure humiliation and steal life, a character like him has naturally a strong psychological endurance, how can he easily go crazy without being tortured?" ”

"Yang Yong has really completely let go of his status as a royal family!" Li Yuanba also sneered twice when he heard this. "The dignified prince of the Great Sui Dynasty actually pretended to be crazy and stupid in order to survive, which is really unexpected!"

"What's this!" Li Yuanba shook his head carelessly and said: "You can make more money if you don't have money, you can fight again when you don't have territory, but if your life is gone, you won't have anything!" If Yang Jian can't even think about this, then he will be the king of Great Sui Qi in vain! ”

"Yes!" Li Shimin nodded with emotion and said, "Back then, Yang Hui, the king of Qi of the Great Sui, how high-spirited he was. Now it seems ......"

When he said the latter, Li Shimin shook his head, with obvious disdain on his face.

"Right now, Ryukyu has fallen into the control of my Tang Dynasty!" Li Yuanba thought for a while and continued: "Brother Huang, according to my meaning, it is to establish a Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate on this Ryukyu Islands, and when we capture Nanyang in the future, we will take Ryukyu as the center. Unified management! ”

"Although this Nanyang is relatively close to our Datang, after all, there are mostly islands, which is not easy to manage. Isn't it a bit difficult to manage? ”

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "It is best to plan Nanyang into two parts, one in the north and one in the south. The two protectorates are close to each other, and even if there is a riot among the aborigines under their rule, it will be more convenient to deploy troops. Isn't it? ”

"It's still the royal brother who thinks thoughtfully!" Li Yuanba really didn't take this into account before, "Now that the military and political system of the Ryukyus has been basically established, the rest is that the imperial brother has transferred officials from the interior of the Central Plains to garrison it." ”

Li Shimin nodded, suddenly glanced up at Li Yuanba, and said, "How about the built over there?" Confirmed? ”

"It's him, this time he originally wanted to go back to Chang'an with me, but his brother didn't ask him to come back with him!"

Li Yuanba looked back at Li Shimin unceremoniously, and saw that Li Shimin's face seemed to be angry, so he said: "Brother Huang, you promised me before, as long as the eldest brother agrees to give the Ryukyus and the power that has been operating in Persia for many years to the imperial court, you will let him go, do you still admit this?" ”

Coercing the emperor, even if you look all over the world, I'm afraid Li Yuanba is the only one, right?

"Yuanba, you ......" Although Li Shimin had long thought that this younger brother would definitely try his best to persuade him, he didn't expect him to behave so toughly.

"The eldest brother has seen through life and death, he originally wanted to return to Chang'an with me, but he was determined to die, but he was stopped by me!"

Li Yuanba looked at Li Shimin without blinking, and said: "It doesn't matter who was right and who was wrong for the time being, but you and your eldest brother were both parties to the matter back then. ”

Li Shimin's face changed and changed, and finally stopped at the color of iron blue: "Yuanba, you must know that as long as he is alive, my throne will not sit stable!" Do you want to watch me Li Tang Jiangshan and fight again? ”

"I believe that the eldest brother has already given up that high position!" Li Yuanba's face turned a little red in a hurry, "Besides, in this world, except for you and me and a few imperial nephews, who knows that the eldest brother is still alive?" ”

Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Li Yuanba continued:

"At the beginning, you promised me to build a huge mansion on the Ryukyu Islands, so that my eldest brother would never leave the mansion again in his lifetime! Although this is a captivity, but at least the eldest brother is still alive, and now you want to kill the eldest brother regardless of your brotherly feelings, is this against the way of the king? ”

In the face of Li Yuanba's almost rude questioning, Li Shimin was still speechless.

If it was put on someone else, and dared to talk to Li Shimin like this, I am afraid that Li Shimin would have ordered someone to pull him out a long time ago, and the five horses would be separated, right?

"Second brother, I just want to hear the truth from you now!" Li Yuanba looked at Li Shimin very seriously, and said word by word: "If the eldest brother returns to Chang'an, will you kill him?" ”

Li Shimin's face changed, but looking at Li Yuanba's face that was almost exactly the same as Li Jiancheng, he found that he was a little unbearable.

Just when he hesitated to answer Li Yuanba, Liu Sanshui led Li Yingge, the old eunuch who was in charge of serving Li Yuan, and ran in with a panicked face.

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good!"

Before Liu Sanshui could speak, Li Yingge, who had white hair and white eyebrows, had already knelt on the ground with a 'poof'.

"Li Yingge, you are not serving the Emperor Taishang in the Da'an Palace, what is the matter in this manna palace?"

Li Shimin, who was already in a bad mood, began to be irritable for no reason when he saw Li Yingge's panicked appearance.

Li Yingge didn't pay attention to the impatient tone in Li Shimin's words, he didn't even raise his head, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Emperor Tai, the Emperor has an accident!" (To be continued.) )
