Chapter 3 This son is also a strange person!

Call ~
Li Xian's heart tightened, he forced his heart to pound, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Straighten your waist, keep your spirits up, push the cup forward, respectfully.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, long life without borders, and eternal life."

"Congratulations to Empress Changsun, youth will never grow old, and her face will remain forever."

The figure in front of him raised his arms slightly, nodded slightly, and slowly let out a drawn-out voice from the corner of his mouth.

"Um……"

Li Xian picked up the cup and poured it with his head up. He was relieved when he saw those staring eyes move away from him.

[It can be regarded as completed!Huh~ It's really exciting to drink with the king just a few feet away! 】

Sitting down cross-legged, just now the sour and pungent taste of the fermented wine flooded his mouthpiece, Li Xian frowned slightly, and complained casually.

[This Tang imperial family's delicious wine is so turbid, I will definitely get a few cans of my own brew later, and never drink this yellow soup dross again. 】

Shaking his head slightly, he felt that there seemed to be a figure standing in front of him like a mountain.

Ok?
When Li Xian was puzzled, he raised his head subconsciously.

A majestic face, condescending, staring straight at himself.

Li Shimin?
Why are you back?

Li Xian suddenly felt his scalp go numb, and that feeling of palpitation came to his heart again!
Subconsciously, he leaned back to support the ground, and then stood up in a panic, but his heart had already exploded.

[You are trying to scare people to death!Didn't you go? 】

[What are you looking at me for?Could it be that he was not polite and was rude to the king just now?It shouldn't be!I am also like other heirs, I am respectful...]

[Or...or did Li Shimin see something? 】

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty."

A slightly panicked voice sounded from Li Xian's side.

Li Jing was worried because of the congratulatory gift, and when he heard that His Majesty was going to have a drink with the young heirs one by one, he was already sweating for Li Xian.

Seeing Li Xian's good performance this time, his hanging heart finally fell to the ground, but he hung up again as His Majesty stopped.

When His Majesty returned to Li Xian's desk, his complexion turned pale, and he hurriedly got up and saluted.

Slightly raising his eyes to look at His Majesty's smiling face, Li Jing's heart beat like a drum, and he whispered again.

"His Majesty……."

"This...this is the humble minister, Li...Li Xian."

With one hand behind his back and the cup in the other, Li Shimin looked Li Xian up and down, nodded slightly, and reached out to pat Li Xian on the shoulder.

"Li Xian?"

"Okay...okay, not bad."

"You two, sit down."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the Li family father and son looked at each other before slowly taking their seats.

Wiping off the fine sweat on his forehead, Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief as his back was striding forward reflected in his eyes.

[I said, can you stop being surprised?A toast is a toast, do you have to make it so thrilling? 】

[There is no need to scare people everywhere with the power of life and death in your hands, right?Besides... I am a nobody in the court, what do you think I am doing! 】

Hearing Li Xian's heartfelt words, Li Shimin, who was toasting to his heirs, cast a glance at Li Xian who was sitting there panting, and curled his mouth.

I thought you were an expert outside the world, with an appearance of fearlessness, but I never thought that you were also afraid of my coercion!
Ha ha!This kid is really interesting!
Now that he has found someone to express his heart, Li Shimin doesn't need to act anymore.

However, Li Shimin didn't mean to expose it at all.

After all, this matter is regarded as eavesdropping, if it spreads out, it will inevitably damage Emperor Wei.Furthermore, if it is exposed, it is likely that you will not hear the truth in the future.

Stopping in his tracks, Li Shimin glanced at the young heirs of the courtiers lined up on the other side of the hall, raised his cup, and circled the crowd.

"Datang is full of talents! Hand in hand."

"I, I'm really tired!"

"Come on, all the sons and daughters of the Tang Dynasty, raise a glass with me and have a drink together."

The rest of the heirs missed the opportunity to correspond with the king, and when they toasted, they felt somewhat sad in their hearts.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron."

Strutting back to the desk at the head of the hall, Li Shimin put the sleeves embroidered with dragons, and sat domineeringly on the dragon seat.

On the desk in the front row of the hall, the fair-skinned young man in the robe of Nine Pythons Stepping on Clouds raised his cup, stood up slowly, and walked into the hall.

The neat bun is gathered on the top of the head, tied high by the purple and gold crown, and there is a hint of royal demeanor between the bowed body and hands.

"Father."

"On the occasion of the queen mother's birthday, I wish my father the emperor good health and the queen mother's youth forever."

The elegant young man clasped his arms and swept across the officials in the hall, finally stopped at the dragon seat, and said loudly.

"My son respectfully wishes the Tang Dynasty a long and prosperous future, forever and ever."

The voice paused for a moment, and after clasping his hands, the boy raised his handsome face and stared at the head of the palace, the father and the queen.

"On the day of universal celebration, my son has a merciless request, and I hope my father will agree."

When Li Shimin heard the boy's wish, he smiled loudly and waved his hands.

"Come on, I'm happy today, let's talk and listen."

In Li Shimin's mind, Li Chengqian has always been a clever, well-behaved and filial person. He became a prince at the age of eight, and now he has a bit of himself in his behavior.

Being able to stand up this time must be due to good advice or interesting ideas to add joy to the festive atmosphere of the birthday banquet.

Li Xian, His Highness, secretly stuffed a snack into his mouth and chewed it. He looked at Li Chengqian in the main hall with his head, and thought.

[This is Li Chengqian, Prince of the Tang Dynasty? 】

[Etiquette is good, and there is prestige, but compared to the head of the hall, you are just talking on paper. 】

[Let me guess what is the reason for this remonstrance? 】

[When Jieli Khan entered the capital, you advised him to get rid of it, so as to show the might of the emperor.Now that Jieli Khan passed away, shouldn't you turn your attention to Tuyuhun in the southwest again?Striving for bloody massacres, has already shown the military power of the Tang Dynasty? 】

hiss~
Li Shimin's heart was filled with surprise, and his expression changed slightly.

Will Gan'er, who has always been obedient, become what Li Xian said?

Can Li Xian really predict what Gan'er is thinking?
Seeing Li Shimin nodding in the hall, Li Chengqian coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty's grace is great, and he pardoned the barbarians in the northern border, but the barbarian Di Rong didn't kowtow to thank him, and he was grateful."

"On the contrary, in recent days, Tuyuhun is ready to move, and my ministers think that they should fight again, kill chickens and monkeys, and rebuild the great power of the Tang Dynasty, so as to conquer the world and stabilize the country."

As soon as the words fell, Li Shimin frowned slightly and his face sank.

Sure enough, as Li Xian said, this quiet and refined son of his own has such a murderous intention in his heart!
[Look!I just said that Li Chengqian's temperament has changed drastically now, but he doesn't realize it.It is imperative to conquer Tuyuhun, but with your killing spirit, I am afraid that you will lay down millions of corpses, and the blood will flow like rivers! 】

[What the Tang Dynasty wants is the ups and downs of the four seas, and the pilgrimage of all nations, not by a strong military front, but by a generosity that tolerates all things, convincing people with virtue, and subduing people with uniforms. 】

[Speaking in this way, isn't it a disguised accusation that His Majesty has relaxed the law and tolerated Jieli Khan?Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian, you hold on to the military power like this, and forcefully admonish the conquest in name, but you forget the benevolent actions His Majesty has done for the Tang Dynasty and the border all these years. 】

【This is a birthday banquet, but you inadvertently deny His Majesty's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners of war. Isn't that putting King Tang in a difficult situation?Oh, Li Shimin, if you want to resolve the embarrassing situation, you still have to look at the house...]

At this moment in the main hall, because of Li Chengqian's words, all the officials had different expressions and remained silent.

The tiger's eyes glanced at the silent hall, and Li Shimin's heart flashed with displeasure.

On the queen's birthday, he didn't want to scold Li Chengqian angrily and spoil the atmosphere.

Glancing at the silent Fang Xuanling among the officials, Li Shimin slightly stretched the wrinkles on his forehead, waved his arms with a tentative attitude.

"God, you are still young, the situation of the war is confusing, and the way to govern the country is as vast as the sea. You don't see many things clearly enough."

"I will ask an old minister to tell you about the trade-offs in governing the country and fighting."

Nodding slightly towards Fang Xuanling, Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Fang Aiqing, you have assisted the king for several years, and you have gained a lot of insight into the way of governing the country, so you talk to Qianer about how to fight this war and how to govern this country."
