Chapter 1967 It turns out that our father and son are not special cases
Empress Changsun looked at her husband in front of her and couldn't help but asked curiously, "My husband has not yet decided what position he should give Na Ludongzan?"
"Well, Lu Dong praised him for his great talent. The more this happens, the more cautious you need to be when appointing officials. Originally, my husband wanted to directly appoint him as a scholar, but he declined."
"How dare you step into a position of causing harm even though you have not done anything good yet."
Having said this, Li Shimin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. "He knows how to advance and retreat, and knows the general picture. He is indeed the person I like."
"..." Queen Changsun looked at her husband boasting proudly in front of her, oh no... it should be called self-praise.
"What your husband said is absolutely true. Since he declined the position, you should think carefully about it."
"Well... In addition, I have met his son Qin Ling several times. Although this child is still very young, he has a sharp mind and calm answers. He has the style of his father."
"Ke'er has spent many days with Qin Ling, and he also feels that Qin Ling..."
While the couple were chatting quietly, Li Ke, His Highness the King of Wu, had already arrived outside the side hall of Wencheng Hall.
Not long after, Li Ke walked into the side hall of Wencheng Hall and bowed to his biological father Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Queen in a polite manner.
"I wonder what the father's instructions are for calling the children here?"
Li Shimin smiled and nodded slightly towards Li Ke and asked how his relationship with Qin Ling had been these days.
Then he saw that his son's expression became a little strange, and he pursed his lips and explained.
"Father, we get along very well with our children. However, we originally agreed to visit Luoyang Nancheng together today, but..."
"Just what?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"It's just that father and son are still trapped in Duke Lu's mansion and have not come out yet."
"Pfft..." Zhao Kun let out a dumb fart, and then quickly coughed to cover it up.
Empress Changsun almost lost her grip on the tea bowl in her hand and looked at Li Ke with a dark expression on her face.
Li Shimin wiped his face vigorously and smacked his mouth for a long time before saying, "Lu Lezan and his son went to Lu Guogong's mansion?"
"Yes, I went to visit his house today just to invite Qin Ling. I didn't know until I went there.
The father and son went to the Duke Lu's Mansion to visit him last night. As a result, they stayed overnight at the Duke Lu's Mansion last night because they were drunk and unconscious..."
"..." There was a dead silence in the side hall of Wencheng Hall, haha... The notorious Cheng Mansion family banquet, if you go straight in, you have to come out sideways.
To be able to come out sideways that night means that the relationship is already in place.
If you can't get out even if you are sideways that night, it means that the relationship needs to be deepened and deepened.
For example, if guests like Lu Dongzan and his son were attending Cheng's family dinner for the first time, how could they remember it vividly if they didn't leave a deep impression?
Li Shimin opened his mouth and it took him a long time before he spit out something.
"Why didn't Lu Dongzan first ask who the family members were..."
Fortunately, these words were spoken in a very low voice, and Zhao Kun, who had just let out a mute fart, had the good sense to rush to the entrance of the palace to let out the wind.
Even so, Li Ke's eyelids were twitching wildly and his facial muscles were twitching crazily.
He could only take deep breaths and pinch his thighs to control his emotions.
You must never roll around with your belly in front of your father and mother, as that would be too rude.
Empress Changsun, who almost couldn't control her emotions, raised her hand and rubbed the center of her brow for a long time before whispering to her husband.
"...Husband, please tell Ke'er to get this person out quickly."
Li Shimin wiped his face, lowered his face, and said to Li Ke.
"In that case, then you should quickly go to Lu Guogong's mansion and take out the father and son. Don't cause any trouble again."
"Ah! Where are you going, baby?" Li Ke looked at his father who pushed his son into the tiger's mouth in confusion.
"If you didn't go, why don't you have to stand up for your father?" Li Shimin glared at Li Ke unhappily and said.
Fortunately, the virtuous and gentle Empress Changsun spoke to comfort her.
"Ke'er, you don't need to worry. You have no rest today. If you go early and come back early, you will have nothing to worry about."
Hearing this, Li Ke subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the sky, forget it, his father has a destiny, how can he not follow it?
#####
Looking at Li Ke who was almost running forward after saying goodbye in a hurry, Li Shimin slumped helplessly behind the desk, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
"What's this? Alas..."
"Husband, you don't have to worry. Mr. Lu is a hospitable person and likes to make friends..."
Li Shimin sighed with a headache.
"Yes, the father and son are so hospitable, it can't be considered their fault, and it's hard to blame them as husbands, but they always do this..."
Queen Changsun suppressed her laughter and whispered advice.
"Those who should go will still go, and those who don't want to go, General Cheng will not be able to break into other people's houses and rob people to attend the banquet in his own house."
"Husband, please don't worry about it. Anyway, General Cheng is good at this..."
#####
As dusk approached, Lu Dongzan and his son, who were on the verge of collapse, took advantage of the fact that all the Cheng family members had gone to work today and rushed out of the gate of Duke Lu's Mansion in an extremely frustrated manner.
Just then I saw a carriage parked outside the gate of the mansion, and King Wu Li Ke just stepped out of the carriage and saw the father and son Lu Dongzan, with their hats crooked and their clothes slanted, and their expressions sluggish.
He almost burst into laughter, but fortunately he controlled his emotions in time and waved to the father and son frequently.
The father and son did not dare to hesitate. They immediately jumped onto Li Ke's carriage, and then under Li Ke's urging, the carriage began to speed away.
However, King Wu Li Ke, who was staying in the carriage, did not show any signs of relaxation and kept urging the carriage to speed up.
This made Lu Dongzan and his son stare nervously at Wu King Li Ke. It wasn't until they turned two corners that Li De, the leader of the guards outside, reported that he had left the workshop. Li Ke let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that today
It should be considered that he has escaped from the clutches of Lu Guogong's mansion.
Turning back to look at the haggard father and son, Li Ke shook his head in confusion.
"You two want to visit Duke Lu's mansion, so you should say hello to Xiao Wang in advance. Xiao Wang can also give you a warning."
"Many of my ministers in the Tang Dynasty regard Duke Lu's Mansion as a wolf's den and a tiger's den, even if they are the little king or all the distinguished ministers.
But no one who enters Duke Lu's mansion to eat at Cheng's family banquet can walk out on his own two legs on the day of the banquet."
"..." Lu Dongzan and his son took a deep breath in unison. It turns out that they are not special cases...
Hearing this, the resourceful Lu Dongzan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He originally thought that he knew the old Cheng family well enough.
Now it seems that my understanding is still too one-sided.
"Alas! I think I have a good capacity for drinking, and General Cheng and his son are so hospitable. I really can't refuse, but..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt the carriage shake and slowly stopped.
Then the three people in the carriage heard Li De's reluctant voice. "I'm going to meet Cheng Dalang, Cheng Erlang..."
