The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Now the egg-changing business makes a lot of money. You will know when I send you the bill next time. You spend money with all your strength. How much can you spend?"

"There are 70% of the good things in the world in the palace. The rest are the latest things. My nephew thinks about you every day. From the furniture in your residence to the gadgets you use to kill time when you are bored, think about it, apart from these, what else is left.

Good wine, delicious food, beautiful women.

That's all, don't you think?"

Li Yuan nodded.

Speaking of it, it's actually just these things.

Life enjoyment, enjoyment is just these.

Before abdication, Li Yuan thought that he could drink and chat with the old ministers when he was free, and life would be happy.

Now, in fact, his life is much more interesting than he thought before.

And most of this is due to his nephew.

So, when Li Fu speaks, he can listen to it and believe it.

"So, you enjoy your life. Other things actually have little impact on you. If you don't believe me, wait for my second brother to come and promise you in person." Li Fu said, "What are my second brother and I worried about? We are worried that you are deceived by outsiders. The people who really care about our Li family should be our own family. Just tell me, isn't that the truth?"

After hearing what Li Fu said, Li Yuan began to think about what Pei Ji had said to him in the past two days.

It seemed that he was compromising, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, it was to instigate the relationship between him and Erlang.

It made the tension between them a little more tense than before.

Li Yuan was soft-hearted. Whoever spoke to his heart would be biased in his favor.

At this time, it depends on who said what he meant and made him feel that he was not deceived.

Obviously, Li Fu is better than Pei Ji in this regard.

At least, Li Fu can take practical actions, including his previous practices, which really benefited Li Yuan.

Pei Ji only talked about it, but he didn't give any benefits from the Pei family to Li Yuan.

At most, he just came to the palace to drink and chat with Li Yuan in the name of old friends.

He came frequently, not because he understood that Li Yuan was lonely here, but for the Pei family.

So, this purpose was not simple.

Li Yuan agreed with Li Fu's words.

From conquering the world to ruling the world, most of the people who can be relied on are family members.

Brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons fight in battle.

"Okay, I think what you said makes sense. I won't say much about the dismissal of palace maids in the inner court." Li Yuan said, "If any old ministers try to make peace in front of me, I will push them away and won't make things difficult for Erlang."

"No matter how much the old ministers plan for themselves and oppose your majesty, your majesty will not be sad or embarrassed. The most important thing for your majesty is that you can't be involved in it and make things difficult for yourself."

After Li Fu said this, Li Yuan's mind became clearer.

It's not that he doesn't understand things. He's old and worried about his future. He has no idea. People who have a good relationship with him in the past, when they talk to him, don't they think about what they say?

Pei Ji has caused a lot of anxiety for Li Yuan these two days.

And the main reason why Li Fu came here is to dispel Li Yuan's anxiety and let him listen to Pei Ji's nagging.

That's not a good thing.

In the evening, Li Shimin came with Changsun and the two children.

Li Yuan was even happier to see his two grandchildren, as they were close to each other.

"Come, come, come to Grandpa."

He smiled and called Li Chengqian and Li Tai to him, and asked the maids around him to quickly take out the best fruits and cakes for the two children.

The two children snuggled in Li Yuan's arms.

"Have you two listened to your father and mother well recently? You should be filial to them since you were young."

"We are obedient."

"Well, you should listen not only now, but also when you grow up. You should always be filial to your father and mother. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

"Oh, come to Grandpa's place often in the future. Grandpa misses you very much." Li Yuan said to the children.

Old people like to see children, and Li Yuan is no exception.

If Li Shimin had not brought his wife and children, it is estimated that the grandfather and son would have nothing to say when they sat together.

The traditional father-son relationship is like this. If the grandfather and son sat alone, the atmosphere would be awkward.

Li Shimin has been with Li Yuan since he was a child, and Li Yuan values ​​family and father-son affection.

After the Xuanwu Gate incident, Li Yuan was crazy and paralyzed himself, but it has been a long time since the incident, and it will eventually pass.

"Erlang, it's the end of the year, and the New Year is coming soon. This banquetCan I still play the pipa at the meeting? "

This question also stunned Li Shimin.

"Father, what do you mean? Your pipa is famous all over the world, of course you can play it."

Li Yuan shook his head.

"I don't think I can play it."

"There are musicians in the palace, and it's great that father is willing to play." Li Shimin responded.

"I am already old. If I really want to play, some people will give me face, but some people may not."

When Li Shimin heard this, he understood.

He stepped forward to pour wine for Li Yuan.

"Father, you are resentful, but did the people around you offend you?"

"I am old and weak, and many things are inconvenient. I also know about the reduction of palace maids. "Li Yuan said.

"So father is worried about this matter. It is true that the inner court has reduced the number of palace maids, but I have never thought of reducing the number of palace maids on my father's side. This is the case in Liangyi Hall, and it will be the same when I go to Da'an Palace in the future.

Although the palace is large, I will not be unable to provide for my father's staff."

For Li Shimin, reducing the number of palace maids is a small matter.

For the emperor, it is nothing more than raising a few more palace maids, which is not a big deal.

But the title conferment during the Wude period is a big deal.

That's why Li Fu came to act as a vanguard and ease the situation.

"Oh? Did I hear this wrong?" Li Yuan was puzzled.

Li Shimin said this, directly in front of Li Yuan, he tricked Pei Ji.

"I'm afraid it was misreported." Li Shimin smiled.

"So that's it. "Li Yuan took the wine glass and then said with a smile: "Well, you are the emperor now. Although you can't drink, you have to practice. If you encounter a big scene, you can't help but be majestic."

Li Yuan understood in his heart, and combined with what Li Fu said to him during the day, he knew what Pei Ji did and why.

The old man now understood everything.

"Father, I have something important to discuss with you today." Li Shimin struck while the iron was hot.

"Erlang, I am now abdicating and becoming the emperor. Except for family affairs, you don't need to discuss other things with me." Li Yuan said with a smile.

"We still need to discuss it." Li Shimin sat beside Li Yuan.
