Li Shimin, who was sitting on the side of Li Yuanji and had a genuine Sanlejiang, saw the surprised look on Li Yuanji's face and couldn't help but laugh and ask.
This was the first time Li Shimin took the initiative to talk to Li Yuanji after Li Yuanji killed Wang Junkuo.
Li Yuanji had already guessed that Li Shimin would find a suitable opportunity to strike up a conversation with him, and also guessed the purpose of Li Shimin's proactive conversation.
But he didn't have the heart to care about it now, he nodded without hesitation.
Not only was he surprised, his jaw dropped.
The group of people in Tai Chi Hall now should be considered one of the top "Heavenly Groups" in history.
They got together and did not study how to govern the country, nor did they recite poems or compose poems. Instead, they wrote some timeless masterpieces to embarrass future generations of primary and secondary school students. Instead, they danced butt-twisting dances.
Li Yuanji didn't know what to say at all, which challenged his cognition a bit.
"If I were to lead this celebration party, I might not even be able to wear any clothes."
Li Shimin glanced at Li Yuanji's "uninformed" look, a smile appeared on his lips, and he spoke without hesitation.
The Tang Dynasty was unified and all enemies were cleared (all internal enemies).
The country of the Tang Dynasty was stabilized, and so was the wealth of everyone in the Tang Dynasty.
Everyone's hanging hearts finally fell to the ground.
It is reasonable to celebrate wildly.
Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin in shock.
Good guy, here is a guy who doesn't even want to wear any clothes.
Li Shimin felt Li Yuanji's gaze and said faintly: "It's hard to measure his heart without being in his position."
Li Yuanji understood what Li Shimin meant.
That is to say, if you have not been in Li Yuan's position, you have no idea how happy Li Yuan is now.
The problem is... Li Yuan is the emperor now.
An emperor who unified the Central Plains.
Don't you care about dignity at all?
Li Yuan doesn't want face, but the people of the Central Plains do.
If the people of the Central Plains knew that their only master was a guy who liked to twist his butt, they would be very sad.
"It seems that I haven't congratulated you on taking up the post of Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai, Hebei Province."
Li Shimin didn't care about Li Yuanji's thoughts. After sighing quietly, he smiled and said to Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji calmed down and followed Li Shimin's words and said with a smile: "How are you going to congratulate me, brother?"
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Whatever you want, just ask. As long as I can bring it out, I will give it to you."
Li Yuanji smiled happily, "Second brother is really rich."
Li Yuanji was not in a hurry to say what he wanted.
Because Li Shimin is qualified to give him what he really wants, but Li Shimin will not give it to him.
Li Shimin glanced at Li Jiancheng, who was holding a drum not far away and accompanying Li Yuan and Pei Ji, and said with a smile: "Compared to my elder brother, I am still poor."
Li Shimin made a pun.
It is implied that Li Jiancheng is the most wealthy among their brothers.
Because Li Jiancheng had in his hands one of the most precious things in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuanji pretended not to understand what Li Shimin said, and said with a smile: "The people in Hebei Province are short of food and clothing. If my second brother is capable, he can worry more about the people of Hebei Province."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment: "That's it?"
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Of course it's more than that."
Li Shimin smiled dryly and said: "Then you have to be gentle. Although your second brother, I have three ounces of meat, I can't stand your big mouth."
Providing food and clothing to the people in Hebei Province costs a lot of money.
If Li Yuanji puts forward any excessive conditions, Li Shimin will not be able to bear it even if he is wealthy.
"Didn't the second brother just tell me to speak up?"
Li Yuanji asked with a smile.
Li Shimin smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
He was hasty and didn't expect Li Yuanji to have such a big appetite.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he bit off a big fat piece of meat, and that was not enough.
"Second brother, don't worry. My second condition is not difficult for him to handle."
Li Yuanji had already bitten off a big piece of fat from Li Shimin, so naturally he couldn't bite him again.
Li Shimin made a gesture that he was willing to hear the details.
Li Yuanji said slowly: "When my second brother defeated Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande last year, he captured a lot of big ships. I wonder if I can share some of them with me?"
Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanji suspiciously, "What do you want a big ship for?"
Although large ships have certain military functions, their functions are quite limited.
In particular, the five-toothed warships left behind by the former Sui Dynasty could only be anchored in large rivers, and could not be summoned and left at the drop of a hat.
In Li Shimin's opinion, this thing is not as useful as the soldiers of the Tongjunfu in his hands.
If Li Yuanji wants to increase his strength, he should ask him for soldiers and armor, food, or even poach talents from him, instead of asking for something that is of little use.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Second brother, don't ask for details. I want a big ship, so it will naturally serve my purpose."
Li Shimin saw that Li Yuanji refused to say anything and did not ask further questions.
Li Yuanji only wanted a big ship, not soldiers or food, but he felt a lot more relaxed.
Li Shimin pondered and said: "In the previous battle to annihilate Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, I captured a total of five five-tooth ships and twelve Huanglong ships, as well as hundreds of other large and small ships.
You want those, how many do you want?"
The Wuya Ship is more than 100 feet high, has five floors, and is equipped with six shooting poles on the left and right sides. It is 50 feet high and can accommodate 900 soldiers. It is considered the top warship in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
It was actually quite difficult for Li Shimin to capture five ships.
The Huanglong Ship is a first-class ship inferior to the Wuya Ship, and each ship can accommodate 500 people.
Five five-toothed ships and twelve Huanglong ships can launch a medium-sized river battle.
Li Yuanji asked Li Shimin why he wanted battleships. In fact, it was not for fighting. So after hearing Li Shimin's words, he said without hesitation: "Give me one of the five-toothed ships, I will take all the Huanglong ships, and give me the remaining ships."
I'm 100% fine."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Shimin heard that Li Yuanji's main target was not the Wuya big ship, but the second-class Huanglong ship, and he roughly guessed what Li Yuanji was going to do.
Li Yuanji wanted to carry out water transportation.
Only those who are engaged in water transportation will abandon the more combat-effective Wuya Ship and instead want the Huanglong Ship with inferior combat effectiveness.
Li Yuanji wants to make money, so there is no conflict with him, and he can even get some benefits from it, so he is happy to see it succeed.
"I will give you all the remaining ships, large and small. How about you leave me the Five Tooth Ship and four more Huanglong Ships?"
Li Shimin discussed with Li Yuanji.
Since Li Yuanji wanted to engage in water transportation, it would be a waste to ask for a big five-tooth ship.
In the land of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanji did not have to worry about anyone making things difficult for him when he was engaged in water transportation, let alone that someone would rob him.
Therefore, Huanglong boats and other large and small ships are enough.
After all, Li Yuanji was one of the most powerful people in the Tang Dynasty. Without knowing Li Yuan, he had the authority to mobilize troops from the Tongjunfu to travel outside Chang'an City.
Anyone who dares to rob Li Yuanji's ship will be immediately killed by three thousand tiger warriors, who will crush the opponent to ashes.
If any of the officials along the way dares to embarrass his ship, the other party's superior officer will send the other party's head to his eucalyptus without his intervention.
"I must have the five-toothed ship!"
Li Yuanji's attitude was firm.
The Five-Toothed Ship was not something he wanted for himself, but something for Li Xiuning.
If the Duke of Fu turns right back and Li Xiuning leads an army to conquer, he will inevitably use battleships.
If we call for temporary recruitment, who knows if something will happen.
So he planned to prepare it for Li Xiuning in advance.
By the time Li Xiuning's troops arrived at the Southeast Road, the battleships had also arrived at the Southeast Road.
When Li Shimin saw that Li Yuanji was determined to get a five-tooth ship, he was a little confused about Li Yuanji's intention.
However, he guessed that Li Yuanji's focus should still be on water transportation, which would not have any influence or threat on him.
Li Shimin immediately nodded and sighed: "That's all, I'll give it to you."
Li Yuanji said with a bright smile: "Thank you very much, second brother."
Li Shimin said meaningfully: "I should be the one thanking you."
The reason why Li Shimin found Li Yuanji and cut his flesh to pieces was because of Li Yuanji's new official position.
The Daxingtai Shangshu Ling of Hebei Province is in charge of all officials in Hebei Province.
When Li Shimin was handling government affairs in various places in Hebei Province in Luoyang City, he placed many of his own people in various places in Hebei Province.
Li Shimin originally thought that he could control Hebei Province through these people.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuanji came out halfway and took over Hebei Province.
He couldn't transfer those people out of Hebei Road for a while.
So we can only make a deal with Li Yuanji so that Li Yuanji will not 'kill' those people.
When Li Yuanji heard Li Shimin's words, he raised his wine cup and smiled knowingly.
Li Shimin also raised his wine cup and laughed.
The two brothers get along very harmoniously.
…
After reaching a deal with Li Shimin, Li Yuanji watched the demons dancing in Tai Chi Hall again.
The ministers and Li Yuan in the Tai Chi Hall became more and more unruly as they played.
Li Yuanji became more and more speechless as he watched.
Li Yuanji had no way to leave early, so he could only stay with Li Yuan and the others.
After staying up until the middle of the night, Pei Ju and other senior ministers could no longer support it. Li Yuancai announced the end of the meeting without saying anything, and made an agreement with the ministers to continue tomorrow.
The moment Li Yuan announced the end of the show, Li Yuanji ran out of the Tai Chi Hall without looking back.
So much so that when Li Yuan wanted to bring his sons together to hold a 'family meeting', no one could be found.
Li Yuanji left the Tai Chi Hall and went straight to his Wude Hall.
When passing by Zuoyan Gate, I found a half-grown boy stopped at the door by a familiar figure, trying to blackmail him.
"What a good boy, how dare you break into the government offices of three provinces and come with me to see the saint."
"I didn't break into the Yamen of the three provinces without permission, I just wanted to go to the palace."
"When you leave the palace, you should go through the right gate, but you went to the left gate. There is a gap of nearly a thousand feet. Even if you are blind, you can't go wrong, and you still dare to quibble!"
