Section 54 The Importance of Songzhou

When Li Yuan looked up, he happened to see Li Shimin's eyes trembling with cold light, and he couldn't help but slap on the table and shouted angrily, "Do you want to kill my son?"&1t;/p>

When Li Shimin heard such a sentence, he looked up at Li Yuan's appearance and seemed to be crazy. He couldn't help but lower his head and said, "I don't dare."&1t;/p>

"You don't dare? What are you afraid of, ah?" Li Yuan thought about it and became more and more angry. He threw all the bamboo sticks on the table on the ground, stomped it with his feet, and then looked at Li Shimin angrily and said, "Don't you know what you did?"&1t;/p>

Although Li Shimin has passed a little alcohol, it does not mean that he has not drunk too much. People generally have a bad temper when they drink too much, but they will become more irritable. This should be considered a kind of nerve that blocks a certain emotion in the heart, so it is easy to get angry.&1t;/p>

This is true for ordinary people, and so is the emperor, because the emperor's emotions are actually more unstable.&1t;/p>

Thinking about who may come to rebel, who may be unfavorable to them. Various emotions are combined, and it is easy for people to get into trouble, not to mention that some people have strong abilities. Isn’t the purpose of being an emperor to be more free? Although many times, they have no way to be a fire at all, because the world does not agree to such behavior.&1t;/p>

"I don't know why my father was angry? I really don't know."&1t;/p>

Li Shimin looked up and looked at Li Yuan coldly and asked, he had called himself me, which means that he was already the emperor, and Pei Ju knew that it was easy to be bad when he saw this scene. When he saw Li Jing behind Li Shimin, he gave him a look and hoped that he could help, but Li Jing didn't seem to see it at all, but looked quietly at a dead grass buried by snowflakes in front, as if there were endless scenery on it.&1t;/p>

Thinking of this, he was very anxious and stood up and walked over and said, "Your Majesty is thinking too much, Your Majesty is thinking too much, the Supreme Emperor has no other thoughts, just for a bite, it is not worth getting angry."&1t;/p>

Li Yuan did not answer, but Li Yuanchang, who was on the other side, answered, "Second brother, you eat better than your father?"&1t;/p>

Li Shimin was stimulated by Pei Ju's eyes and quickly calmed down his mind. However, when he heard Li Yuanchang's words, he asked in confusion, "Yuanchang, what did you say?"&1t;/p>

The venison slices and bamboo sticks fell into the charcoal, and the fire began to catch up. It was burnt with a burnt fragrance, but it was not suitable to eat it.&1t;/p>

"Second brother, you have seen all the food on the table now?" Li Yuanchang asked, pointing to some roast chicken and beef. Usually people don't have the chance to eat these things, but now the roast chicken on the table seems to have just eaten a pair of chicken wings, and the rest is thrown on the table in a mess. The beef should have been cut into slices, but it seems that it was bitten by someone and thrown there, which is very wasteful.&1t;/p>

"What's the problem?" Li Shimin asked in confusion. Now the court is not allowed to slaughter oxen at will, and you are eating beef now. What else do you want?&1t;/p>

"What's the problem?" Li Yuanchang repeated his words, then pointed to the roast chicken on the table and said, "Second brother, this roast chicken is naturally a good thing in poor families, but I know there are various ways to make Shiweixuan. Why are we only roast chicken here? Is it said that the royal family is not as good as those vendors? They can all eat beggar chicken and braised chicken, but my father can only eat roast chicken?"&1t;/p>

Without waiting for Li Shimin to answer, he continued, "There is also this beef, which is just boiled with spices. When I was in Songzhou, I saw that the poor people could eat beef meatballs. Why? Isn't my father worthy of eating those things?"&1t;/p>

Li Shimin looked at him and knew that this kid was taking advantage of the situation, because he knew that he would not do anything to him, so he dared to act like this.&1t;/p>

"Father, Yuanchang, and Songzhou are different from ours. They are close to the grassland, so there are still many cattle. Many of those cattle cannot be regarded as plowing oxes, and there are even some yaks in the snowy mountains. There is no other way except to eat meat. As for beef balls, I really haven't seen them when I went to Songzhou last time."&1t;/p>

Li Shimin's explanation made Li Yuan's anger fade slowly, but Li Yuanchang seemed to look at Li Shimin with dissatisfaction and said, "Second brother, you are fooling us. Who doesn't know that there are some foods in Chang'an that sell this thing, and it's very expensive. I haven't eaten a few meals there, and there is such a chef in your imperial kitchen. You ate steamed dumplings and beef balls yesterday morning?"&1t;/p>

Li Yuanchang's proud look made Pei Ju feel a little uncomfortable, because if he said this, something could easily happen, because it means that you have installed someone in the palace. If you do this, aren't you trying to die?&1t;/p>

"Oh? I wonder how Yuanchang knew what I ate yesterday?" Li Shimin asked coldly at the smug Li Yuanchang, the chill in his tone was heavier than the coldness of the winter around him.&1t;/p>

But Li Yuan was about to be popular, but suddenly thought of something. He couldn't help but look at Li Shimin anxiously and said, "Erlang, don't think too much. It was me who asked the people in the imperial kitchen that it was nothing to do with him."&1t;/p>

For the emperor, a secret identity can oppress many things. At this time, no matter who you are, even your own son, you cannot do anything. Otherwise, something might happen to you. Thinking that you know me so much will make me guess in my heart what you mean.&1t;/p>

Li Yuanchang wanted to continue saying something, but was stared back by Li Yuan's eyes. He could only snort, turn his head and look around.&1t;/p>

Li Yuan's face is no longer good-looking, but he must now show his attitude. Otherwise, if Li Shimin really continues to watch this matter, Li Yuanchang's life will not be guaranteed by then. Although Li Shimin wants face, many times, the emperor does not want face, but benefits.&1t;/p>

"Since my father said this, my son-in-law naturally believed it. I don't know why my father called me over here?" Li Shimin's words were hard, although they were a bit surrendering, but what was even more deadly here was a kind of depression that could explode at any time.&1t;/p>

"I haven't seen you for a long time, I just miss you. The person here has been here to take it away and serve it again." Li Yuan said with a smile, pointing to the table in front of him. Then when Li Shimin sat in front of him, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol. He knew that the second son must have drunk too much again, and he couldn't help but complain, "How old is he? I still drink so much wine. I wonder if drinking too much harms my body? The person here, I will make a bowl of sobering soup for the emperor."&1t;/p>

For some reason, when Li Shimin heard his complaint, his anger suddenly disappeared. He seemed to be a little at a loss just now, and his voice trembled slightly, "My son is fine, I just drank a little."&1t;/p>

"You, you, just like in the past, when you went out with Jiancheng and secretly drank wine in the tavern, that's what you said. Every time you came back, you were drunk. Jiancheng always said that you didn't drink, but just fell asleep, haha."&1t;/p>

The last two words, for some reason, were like a needle stabbed Li Shimin in the chest, making his face pale a lot.&1t;/p>

There is something in this world that is really hard to say, that is emotion.&1t;/p>

From a rational point of view, it is appropriate for parents to treat you well, because you are considered the result of cause and effect. Parents produce your by-product in order to satisfy the desires between men and women. For such things, you say how good you need to be to them is actually a spur to not distinguish between good and evil. Because parents do something wrong, they have to bear the consequences and raise you. Then, their task is to help them pass on their family line rather than to support the elderly and send them to the end, because there is no such obligation between you, but after thousands of years of culture, such emotions have become very different. The direct sentence of gifting the divine power will suppress this truth.&1t;/p>

In Ye Tan's eyes, Chinese people are the easiest to be heartless and emotional.&1t;/p>

When you are emotional, gentle as water, and the warm warmth makes you unable to withstand it at all. If this warmth is torn apart, it will become heartless and you can do any unethical things, because for them, such things are too ordinary.&1t;/p>

Therefore, when Li Yuan talked about his childhood, he couldn't help but feel sad. He killed his eldest brother and third brother (it should be the fourth brother, because Li Xuanba died early, so he always called Li Yuanji the third brother, and Li Xuanba was also a pain point for the Li family). Because of such emotional demands, he often couldn't sleep at night and always remembered some past events. On the one hand, Li Jiancheng was not good to him, and on the other hand, he was good to himself. When the two emotions were intertwined, such things were prone to happen.&1t;/p>

When the things on the table were all over again, Li Shimin glanced at the eunuch beside him and said, "Go and call the prince over."&1t;/p>

Then he poured Li Yuan a glass of wine himself. Others were not qualified. Pei Ju didn't think there was any problem with doing this. Then he picked up a bowl of sobering soup with a little steam and drank it in one sip. He said, "Father, I don't want everything in Songzhou to be everywhere, but it's really not possible now. Songzhou is still a child now. Although Ye Tan, a son, is also a child, is very independent and has a good relationship with the prince. So, Songzhou Erchen is now. Now Songzhou Erchen

I'm not very worried yet. Now I know that many people, including the royal family, want to get a share of the pie. Of course, there are too many people who want such good things, but this matter cannot be done, because Songzhou is now a point, and the Tang Dynasty is a noodle. If this point is gone, it will have an impact on my future plans. Therefore, the royal family cannot reach out. Please pay attention to this point in the future. If you really want to eat something good, go to the imperial kitchen. Isn't it your world already?"&1t;/p>

Although Li Shimin's last sentence was a joke, the warning smell was very strong. If you want to get something, you have to lose something.&1t;/p>

Li Yuanchang curled his lips and didn't continue to say anything, but Li Yuan stroked his beard with his fingers and said, "Dragon, Songzhou is really so important?"&1t;/p>

"Father, do you remember when Erchen went to Songzhou before, there were no droughts or insects, and there were several large trading markets. It can be said that although it is not big now, it is already a pearl in the west of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, it is very poor. In thousands of years, there are almost no other than wars. Erchen is planning to divide the world. There should be a place. Ye Tan may become the highest commander in a Taoist road at that time."&1t;/p>

This sentence may be a secret. Anyway, many people, including Li Jing, don't know. Li Jing is still standing behind Li Shimin without saying anything, very quiet, but Pei Ju couldn't help looking at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, can Ye Tan, a small marquis, take on such a big task? There are many barbarians near Songzhou, and they are all disobedient. If you want to tame them, it may take decades. If you suddenly use the means of fire, you may have trouble."&1t;/p>

Pei Ju's words are not unreasonable. Those savages cannot do things, farming, and doing business. In addition to raising horses and cattle, their favorite things are to mess up and robbery. Even if it is big, it may be very difficult for people to accept. Ye Tan is powerful and is also the founding marquis of a country. However, it does not mean that he can manage such a big place well. There is a huge difference between the two.&1t;/p>

"I thought so in the past, but later this kid actually brought me a Songzhou exhibition minutes. After reading it, although I didn't quite agree with his profit-oriented ideas, the situation in Songzhou seems to be like this now. So, I plan to continue to look at it. If it can be implemented, there may be a large piece of fat in the future. This will solve the Tubo problem. Why not do it?" Li Shimin said with a smile, making Pei Ju even more attracted to Ye Tan's things, but he didn't even know it. It seems that he needs to spend time to take a look.&1t;/p>

Moreover, the Ten Dao of the Tang Dynasty, which originally appeared in the early years of Zhenguan, did not appear this time. The main reason is probably the outline of Songzhou's exhibition. Many of the things in it involve secrets.&1t;/p>

Li Yuan was also an emperor. He knew that many things in it were not known except the emperor before it was announced. As the saying goes, if the king is not secret, he will lose his ministers; if the minister is not secret, he will lose his virginity; if the few things are not secret, he will be a disaster. Therefore, a gentleman is careful and does not come out.&1t;/p>

"Erlang, are you sure this Ye Tan can do it?" Li Yuan thought for a while, but still didn't know what to do, so he could only ask.&1t;/p>

"Father, if this kid wants to marry Changle as his wife, I'm afraid I won't agree." Li Shimin said with a smile, making Li Yuan roll his eyes and said, "Erlang, are you drunk too much? Although Changle is a good girl, men always take career as a prescription. Can you rely on her? Are you not worried about being too big?"&1t;/p>

"Father, don't worry about this. Ye Tan told me that once he really agrees to marry Changle, everything else can be given as gifts except life and family. How can I disagree?"&1t;/p>
