Li Shimin sat in the comfortable four-wheeled carriage and looked at the place some distance away from the roadside with a dark expression on his face.
Cheng Sanlang, who was throwing cards vigorously there, also had his own son Li Ke, and Gal Dongzan, the first wise man in Tubo.
Zhao Kun, who was riding his horse and standing next to the carriage, rolled his eyes to the sky frequently. He was really dissatisfied with the climate, so he just obeyed Cheng Sanlang.
Why is it that everyone who has anything to do with this kid is attracted to him? Even the palace, the emperor, and the empress will sometimes have some fun with him.
Even His Majesty has been forced to go to the battlefield many times, happily fighting against landlords with his daughter and his beloved wife.
Fortunately, at this time, Li De and others, who were bragging and spanking outside the pavilion, finally realized something was wrong.
Especially after seeing Zhao Kun riding his horse next to the carriage, Li De shouted twice in a low voice toward the pavilion with his head aflame.
Only then did the three people who were concentrating on playing cards startled.
Li Shimin saw it through the car window, and his son immediately crazily stuffed the bamboo sign into his sleeve.
Cheng Sanlang put the bamboo sign in his arms. Only Gal Dongzan looked at the two busy young people with a confused face, a little at a loss.
Fortunately, Li Shimin remembered what he was here for, and finally controlled his emotions. After they cleaned up, he opened the carriage door and slowly got out of the carriage.
The three of them rushed to the carriage and saluted respectfully. Li Shimin looked at his son and future son-in-law with disgust, but his smile towards Gal Dongzan seemed very sincere.
"Ga'er Qing, come and follow me around. As for you two, just stay here for me."
"..." Cheng Sanlang and Li Ke, who were caught playing bamboo cards by Li Shimin, could only obey in disgrace. After Li Shimin and Nagar Dongzan left, the two of them let out a sigh of relief.
Li Ke turned around and looked at the rock that hid the road behind. The sudden appearance of his father had a lot to do with the huge, beautiful rock that blocked the road.
"You must be more careful next time. This place is not good."
Cheng Chubi looked at the two men walking side by side and asked Li Ke in a low voice.
"What does your father want to do when he comes to look for the palace eunuch of Gar at this time?"
"I don't know about this little brother. Maybe he is planning to let the Palace Supervisor of Gar be responsible for preparing to receive my grandpa the emperor's move-in."

Li Shimin and Gal Dongzan walked forward slowly. After chatting for a while, Li Shimin finally asked the real question.
"Gaerqing, I would like to ask you what kind of person Songtsan Gampo, the leader of the Tubo Kingdom, is. I think Galqing should know."
Hearing this, Gal Dongzan raised his eyebrows slightly, and then nodded. "I used to have Songtsen Gampo as my master, and I have been with him for nearly ten years."
"In his early years, he was very tolerant and only focused on results, regardless of means..."
Li Shimin listened to Naga Dongzan's words and analyzed Songtsen Gampo's character in detail. When he heard that Songtsen Gampo had been peeking at the Jiannan Road of the Tang Dynasty and the Silk Road to the north.
Li Shimin's face couldn't help but darken, but Galdongzan continued to talk as if he couldn't see it.
"Now that I am serving in the Tang Dynasty, Songtsen Gampo will definitely hate the Tang Dynasty deeply after hearing about it, not just because of me, but because after I serve in the Tang Dynasty, I will definitely make waves in Tubo..."
"So, if Xue Yantuo from the north comes south, Songtsen Gampo will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it, even if he does not join forces with Xue Yantuo."
"I will definitely take advantage of the Tang Dynasty's lack of time to capture Tuyuhun..."
"Your words are indeed consistent with what I and my colleagues have agreed upon. It seems that if our Tang Dynasty forces the main force to advance northward, Tubo will become a worry for me..."
Li Shimin chatted with Nagar Dongzan for almost half an hour, and then the two slowly wandered back.
Cheng Sanlang and Li Ke, who were so idle that they didn't know what to do and almost dozed off, suddenly became energetic.
However, Galdongzan did not come with Li Shimin. Instead, he murmured a few words to Li Shimin outside the pavilion and then left.
Then His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wandered towards this side. Looking at the two young men who were almost dozing off, Li Shimin showed a rare gentle smile.
"Come, come, come and sit down. Nephew Chu Bi, you must be aware of Xue Yantuo's invasion of the south, right?"
Cheng Chubi replied with a righteous expression.
"Of course my nephew knows that Xue Yantuo has long been ambitious, and it's not a good thing at first glance."
"Just now, His Highness King Wu and I were chatting here about this matter. I also wanted to see if I could be like my father and be able to personally attend the battle and make contributions to the Tang Dynasty."
"Yes, yes, brother Chu Bi did mention it just now." Li Ke nodded quickly and said. Anyway, they are all cheap words, and if you don't say them, they won't be said.
Everyone knows that Xue Yantuo came with a lot of soldiers and horses, and the Tang Dynasty's famous generals were like clouds, and their elites were like rain.
As long as my father doesn't drink too much, he will definitely not let us younger generations compete with our elders for credit. The main thing is that we don't dare to take credit.
After all, that rough old man doesn't care whether you are a prince or not, he thinks you are robbing him of the opportunity to make a contribution, haha...
"The child thinks the same way. If he can guard the frontier for his father and resist foreign enemies, maybe one day he can be like Uncle Wang of Jiangxia..."
"Well, well, well, he is indeed my father's beloved son, a talented and ambitious man of the Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin said happily, stroking his long beard.
"Actually, when I saw you two, I thought of the work you did in Luzhou in the past few years. It was really effective."
"It can be seen that you and Fang Erlang have managed Luzhou in an orderly manner..."
I heard that the kind-hearted Uncle Li in front of me actually turned a blind eye to the two of them playing bamboo cards just now, without even giving a lecture.
Now he was praising the two of them more frequently, which made Li Ke and Cheng Chubi feel a little uncomfortable. After all, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was not an open-minded person.
He most likely had some purpose in doing this.
Moreover, the main target of Li Shimin's praise was Cheng Sanlang, which made this young talent of the Tang Dynasty even more nervous.
Is it possible that Uncle Li is planning to turn himself, the most talented person in the Tang Dynasty, into a tool man?
Could it be that you really want to train yourself in the military on the northern border?
After talking for a long time, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty suddenly changed his tone. "That nephew Chu Bi has returned to Tubo, right?"
"Yes, uncle, he previously sent news that the deputy envoy Tunmi Sambuza who led the envoy back was dismissed, and many members of the envoy have even become slaves."
