When Li Yuanji looked at them, the four brothers bowed together and saluted Li Yuanji.
The four brothers have similar appearances, but there is a big difference in stature and age. Among them, Xue Wanshu is two years older than Li Jiancheng, thirty-six years old. He has a regular figure, not too tall, not too thin, and has a long beard. He was very neatly dressed. Although he was wearing armor and stomach, he didn't have much toughness about him and looked very elegant.
Xue Wanshu is about the same age as Li Xiuning. She is about thirty years old, tall and tall, with a big beard and a scrawled face. She is wearing a armor and stomach and has a strong aura.
Xue Wanjun is one year younger than Li Shimin. He is in his mid-twenties. He is also quite burly. He has a three-part goat's beard, which is neatly groomed. He wears a helmet and has an aura of calmness and authority.
Xue Wanche is younger, just nineteen years old. Although he is tall and tall, he is far from as tough as his two brothers look. Instead, he has more vigor.
When looking at people, there is a certain sharpness in their eyes.
Li Yuanji's eyes wandered around the four brothers and said with a smile: "We will be a family from now on, no need to be polite."
Xue Wanche immediately beamed with joy and nodded vigorously. After being glared at by Xue Wanshu, he lowered his head in embarrassment.
Xue Wanshu bowed his head and said solemnly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but the courtesy cannot be discarded."
Li Yuanji glanced at Xue Wanshu. This man was boring, but Xue Wanche was more interesting.
He looks carefree and has no intentions.
Li Yuanji liked to deal with people like Xue Wanche who were full of energy and had no scheming intentions.
This kind of person can help you do things, and you don't have to worry about being plotted by him.
As long as you treat him sincerely, he will repay you wholeheartedly.
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded at Xue Wanshu, walked up to Xue Wanshu, and said with a smile: "You and I are of the same age, so we should be able to talk together."
Xue Wanche was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face. Just when he was about to nod, he seemed to realize something, and glanced at his eldest brother not far away. He saw his eldest brother staring at him, and the smile on his face became much stiffer. He nodded mechanically.
Seeing this, Li Yuanji looked at Xue Wanshu not far away, and said with a smile: "You have been running around day and night for several days, and you must be exhausted. I asked Ma Zhou to prepare some hot water for you, so you can wash up. , and then take a good rest. After you have rested, I will take care of you."
When Ma Zhou heard this, he said very wisely: "I will go and prepare immediately."
Xue Wanshu hurriedly said: "I'm not tired of waiting."
Li Yuanji stared at Xue Wanshu with a half-smile.
I need you to be tired, can you not be tired?
Seeing this, Xue Wanshu smiled bitterly in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, Li Yuanji said again: "Wan Che and I are very close to each other. Would you mind if we chat a little more?"
Xue Wanshu felt even more miserable.
Do you mind? Why don't you mind?
What kind of peace of mind do you have? Who else here except Wan Che doesn’t know?
You clearly see Wan Che as innocent and without any scheming, so you want to use Wan Che as a breakthrough point to break into our brothers and see if our brothers will sincerely serve you.
But I don't care, because Li Yuanji said it, Xue Wanshu had no choice but to agree even if he was extremely reluctant.
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
What's more, the largest, widest, and thickest eaves in the world now belong to Li Yuanji's family.
"Since Your Highness and Wan Che are of the same mind and want to say a few more words, I will naturally not mind."
Xue Wanshu said something with a complicated expression, then looked at Xue Wanche, and warned him earnestly: "Wanche, His Highness is a noble man. You must not think that it is the same as usual, and he speaks lightly."
Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanjun also spoke one after another.
Xue Wanche nodded heavily.
Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanjun were all heartbroken.
Xue Wanche is their younger brother, how could they not understand Xue Wanche.
If Xue Wanche really understood the meaning of their words, he would not nod his head, but would promise something to them, such as "I won't talk nonsense" or something like that.
But Xue Wanche didn't say anything, just nodded, obviously not understanding the deeper meaning of their words.
The three brothers looked at each other with bitter expressions on their faces.
Now that things have come to this, we can only let it go.
Fortunately, the brothers were quite loyal to the Tang Dynasty and had never done anything detrimental to the interests of the Tang Dynasty. Even if Xue Wanche was tricked by Li Yuanji, he could not get anything that could threaten them.
"Then I will ask Your Highness to take care of my fourth brother for the time being."
Before Xue Wanshu left, he greeted Li Yuanji politely.
He said it was a courtesy, but in fact he was conveying a message to Li Yuanji in a subtle way, telling Li Yuanji not to bully Xue Wanche just because he saw Xue Wanche being honest.
Li Yuanji smiled and replied, "You keep treating him as a child, when will he grow up?"
The ancients valued friendship very much, so words such as elder brothers are like fathers, brothers and friends are respectful to younger brothers, are not just casual remarks.
These words must not only be said, but also done.
When he is away from home and his father is away, the eldest brother has to take on the role of father and take on the responsibility of taking care of his younger brothers.
If the father dies, the eldest brother has to play the role of father whether he is away from home or at home.
Not only do you have to take care of your younger siblings as they grow up, but you also have to educate them to become adults and talents, and you also have to watch them get married and start a business, and even take care of them until the day they die.
As the youngest of four brothers, Xue Wanche was taken care of not only by his eldest brother, but also by his second and third brothers.
It was because they took good care of him that Xue Wanche became quite innocent.
Historically, Xue Wanche was so simple and honest that after becoming the consort, he was disliked by Princess Danyang and refused to sleep with him, and finally made trouble with Li Shimin.
Although Li Shimin used tricks to restore some relations between him and Princess Danyang, he was often ridiculed for it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xue Wanshu and the others were shocked when they heard Li Yuanji's words.
Xue Wanche shouted, "I have grown up."
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded, agreeing: "Yes, you have grown up."
After saying this, he looked at Xue Wanshu and the others, and said: "Now that you have grown up, you should be on your own. It is not a problem to hide under the wings of others all the time."
Xue Wanche said without hesitation: "That's natural."
However, Xue Wanshu and the other three knew clearly that Li Yuanji's words were meant for them.
Xue Wanshu bowed and saluted Li Yuanji, "Thank you for your teaching, Your Highness."
Li Yuanji's purpose was to get words out of Xue Wanche's mouth, and there was absolutely no need for Li Yuanji to say such things that might offend them.
But Li Yuanji still said it, and he really did it for Xue Wanche's benefit.
Xue Wanshu and the others accepted this love.
Li Yuanji nodded and said no more to Xue Wanshu.
Xue Wanshu and the others did not stay much longer, and followed Ma Zhou to rest with a group of brave men.
After Xue Wanshu left, Li Yuanji smiled and said to Xue Wanche: "Come for a walk with me?"
Xue Wanche agreed with joy on his face.
He felt that Li Yuanji had a bad temper towards him, and he liked getting along with Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji took Xue Wanche around Weizeguan, and while walking, he chatted with Xue Wanche about some household matters.
Li Yuanji did not try to get words out of Xue Wanche's mouth, as Xue Wanshu and the others thought, nor did he try to break into their brothers.
Li Yuanji just went through Xue Wanche to get to know the capabilities of the Xue brothers, their respective strengths and weaknesses.
Once you understand this clearly, it will be easier to arrange positions for these brothers.
In the process of understanding this, Li Yuanji also introduced the situation of the three unified army mansions to Xue Wanche.
It was like an interview. He understood the abilities of the Xue brothers and appointed them officials based on their abilities.
The Xue brothers also need to understand the situation in his house and see what position they are suitable for in his house.
Only when we understand each other clearly can we send the right people to the right place.
For example, after Li Yuanji got to know Xue Wanche clearly, he felt that he was suitable to be Su Dingfang's deputy.
Su Dingfang is a 'commander-level' general. He does not need another head under his command. He only needs someone who can obey his orders and fully implement his orders.
Xue Wanche was a bit naive, but his ability was not weak and he could implement Su Dingfang's orders very well.
Su Dingfang still values friendship and has no habit of treating his subordinates harshly. The two of them working together will definitely have good results.
When the time came, Li Yuanji wanted to tell Xue Wanche not to marry anyone but the princess.
However, considering that it would have a certain impact on him after saying this, the Xue brothers would think too much if they knew it, so they said nothing.
Xue Wanche, on the other hand, said to Li Yuanji eager to try: "I heard that His Highness is very good at martial arts and is one of the few masters in the world. I wonder if I have the opportunity to compete with His Highness."
Li Yuanji was stunned on the spot, and his look at Xue Wanche became strange.
Xie Shufang, who was passing by by chance, ran away after hearing this.
He was going to find Su Dingfang and invite Su Dingfang to come out with him to see the fool.
Looking for a discussion with His Highness King Qi?
Have you drunk too much?
"It's okay to spar, but the injury on my hand hasn't healed yet, so I have to wait a few days."
Li Yuanji really didn't want to bully an honest person, so he excused himself.
Xue Wanche didn't hear Li Yuanji's evasion at all, and actually said excitedly: "How many days will it take for the minister to come to see His Highness?"
Li Yuanji sighed helplessly, "Okay..."
Let it pass in a few days.
After you have a clear understanding of my past achievements and if you still have the courage, I wouldn't mind competing with you.
Just don't cry then.
"Then thank you, Your Highness."
When Xue Wanche saw that Li Yuanji had agreed, he left happily.
As soon as Xue Wanche left, Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang hurried over, followed by Luo Shixin and Li Zhongwen.
