Chapter 1180: Prepare to welcome envoys from various countries to Tang Dynasty
Li Chengqian was also speechless about Li Shimin's show-off character.
But what can he do?
He can't go up and stop his father from going out to show off his achievements, right?
If this is true, with his nature, I will definitely be suffocated to death.
And Li Chengqian only pondered for a moment, and then said: "With my current physical condition, although I cannot get on my horse to open up territory for my father."
"But it shouldn't be a problem for me to receive these envoys to the Tang Dynasty who have never seen the world."
Hearing this, Li Shimin also looked happy.
He looked directly at Li Chengqian and said, "So, you agreed?"
"Is it useful if I don't agree?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "Even if I reject you now, I'm afraid you will find ways to plot against me later, right?"
From the fact that he became the prince, it is enough to see Li Shimin's character.
He is definitely the kind of guy who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
Even if Li Chengqian doesn't agree now, he will be forced to agree due to his calculations in the future, and he might even suffer a lot because of it.
Instead of doing this, why do you have to cause unnecessary trouble for yourself? Why don't you just agree to it?
When he heard this, Li Shimin also smiled heartily.
Even if I didn’t say anything directly, my son understood me.
But at this time, Li Chengqian suddenly had some doubts.
In his memory, Li Shimin indeed held a conference of all nations, demonstrating the strength and grace of the Tang Dynasty.
But the countries and ethnic groups that existed at that time, such as Shiwei, Khitan, Lin tribe, Xi tribe, Goguryeo, Tuguhun, etc. were basically killed by Li Chengqian in this life.
Even in the Western Regions, they are still on the side of the Western Turks, and it is definitely impossible to go to the Tang Dynasty to participate in the Conference of All Nations.
Thinking about it, he looked directly at Li Shimin and asked: "But I am a little curious. Are there envoys from those countries who came this time?"
"There are quite a few of these." >
"Yes, there is Tubo, Silla, Baekje, and some countries in the west."
"You will know the details when you see them..."
As he spoke, Li Shimin suddenly paused, and then said: "However, what you need to pay attention to this time is that among the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty are Japanese..."
Japanese country?
Are they coming too?
Li Chengqian was also a little surprised.
Didn’t I just beat them up?
But when he thought about it carefully, he really remembered that in his previous life, didn't the Japanese country start sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty to study after being beaten up by the Tang Dynasty?
And because of this, the Japanese kingdom became stronger year by year, and then gradually focused on invading China.
Li Chengqian squinted his eyes, and a strange thought suddenly came to his mind.
However, although he had an idea in his mind, he did not tell Li Shimin.
He just said to Li Shimin: "Okay, I understand, I will show up when the time comes."
"That's good."
It's not like Li Shimin didn't notice the changes in this guy.
However, as this guy got older and older, Li Shimin gradually found that he could no longer see through this kid.
But Li Shimin didn't take this to heart.
After all, he came today just to ask his son to comfort the envoys who came for him.
Since he agreed, his goal was achieved.
Therefore, Li Shimin just laughed heartily and said, "If nothing happens, I'll leave first. You have a good rest."
???
Am I crazy?
You old man came here just to let me do something?
Li Chengqian also had nothing to say.
Isn't this typical of greeting someone with a smile when someone wants something from you, but kicking someone aside when it's no longer useful?
But as Li Shimin's son, he has long been accustomed to his father's appearance.
And not long after Li Shimin left, and before Li Chengqian could leave the study and go back to rest, Li Ke ran over.
Li Chengqian was also a little surprised when he saw this guy.
Li Ke was definitely a rare visitor in the entire East Palace, and he was also the one who came here the least.
Even Changsun Chong and Cheng Hualiang, two people with foreign surnames, usually came more often than him.
Of course, this is also because the relationship between Li Ke and Li Chengqian has never been so confrontational.
But the visitor was a guest, and the relationship between the two had been resolved. Li Chengqian also hurriedly asked Xiao Chuzi to prepare tea and cakes.
Then, he looked directly at Li Ke and asked, "Why did you come here suddenly today? Do you want to ask me anything you don't understand about the reform?"
Military reform and general reform are now under Li Ke's charge.
Judging from today's development trend, the momentum is pretty good.
Compared with Li Chengqian's iron-blooded tactics, Li Ke's methods are much softer and more recognized by everyone.
So Li Chengqian never said much about it.
After all, all he wants is for the Tang Dynasty to get better and better. It doesn't matter to him whether Li Ke will secretly cultivate direct descendants in the army to spy on his confidants.
"It's nothing."
"It's just that I haven't been free before, so I didn't come over."
"Today's Sora, come and see you."
Li Ke held the teacup, glanced at Li Chengqian and said, "What? Brother Huang, don't you welcome me here?"
"how could be."
"It's not too late for me to be happy that you can come here."
Li Chengqian smiled slightly and then said: "It's just that you came to me before, either for this or that matter, and I'm used to it."
< br> Due to the previous unpleasantness between the two, the atmosphere when the two meet now is inevitably a bit awkward.
Of course, this is only Li Ke’s unilateral view.
Li Chengqian didn't feel this way.
After putting down the tea cup, Li Chengqian asked very naturally: "I heard that you have done a good job in reform recently. You should have received a lot of rewards from your father, right?"
"Reward?"
Hearing this, Li Ke also shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He said bluntly: "It's good if you don't scold me. Where is the reward?"
"Speaking of which, I also want to ask you."
"How did you get along with your father before?"
Thinking that he had been scolded by Li Shimin recently, Li Ke's little heart really couldn't bear it.
At this moment, he inevitably began to wonder how Li Chengqian worked with Li Shimin...
Is it possible that Li Shimin didn't scold Li Chengqian?
But based on what he knew about his father when he came in and observed Li Shimin, this was definitely impossible.
When he heard this, Li Chengqian also shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He said: "That's why you came to me."
"I can only tell you that I was worse off than you were at the beginning."
Because he was scolded for being stubborn, but when he was around Li Shimin, there was a possibility of being beaten at any time.
Li Chengqian held the tea cup, took a sip of tea and said, "Speaking of which, isn't this what you envy me for?"
Li Keke once said personally that he was jealous of Li Shimin's love for Li Chengqian.
But now, Li Ke really has no such idea.
After all, he really couldn't bear this kind of love from his father.
That was really a small scolding for three days, and a full-blown scolding for five days.
Li Ke sighed, then looked up to the sky and said: "If you ask me to say it again now, I really have no shame in saying that."
