If you don’t know Li Chao’s identity, it is hard to believe that anyone who meets Li Chao for the first time will be the most important figure in the Tang Dynasty.

This young man, who was only twenty-five years old, looked more elegant when he wore a moon-white robe, and he looked more like a young man from a noble family, without any power of the prime minister.

Li Chao is not the old prime minister who always has to act like a prime minister in every move, nor is he a warrior general who has strong muscles and strong body, and speaks roughly and atmosphericly.

He looked more like a handsome scholar, a beautiful young man with a fair face and a clean beard.

He was only twenty-five years old, but he seemed to be two or three years younger. He had shiny black hair, two sword eyebrows, and six feet tall. This height seemed very tall, but he was only tall and not burly. His body was strong and well-proportioned, but he was not as strong as a tiger's back and bear's waist.

It is hard to imagine that such a young man like a scholar would be the central important minister of the Tang Empire, one of the eight ministers, or the thirty-sixth generation of the governor.

With the help of one person, the relationship with Tuyuhun and the Turks was stabilized.

Without Li Chao's words, perhaps in the fifth year of Wude, the current emperor would be defeated and killed at the head of Longxi city. Perhaps the Turkic invasion in the fifth year of Wude would not have ended so easily.

In a year, Li Chao was promoted from a fifth-rank Eastern Palace official to a fourth-rank governor to a third-rank governor. Not to mention the Xuanwu Gate Incident that shocked the world in the sixth year of Wude, he was even the chief adviser.

With great achievements, Li Chao became the prime minister at a young age and was ranked first-ranked.

People all over the world envy Li Chao's current fame and status, but in fact, Li Chao really doesn't take these seriously. If possible, he would be willing to resign from these official positions and become a free and leisurely prince. This idea is just too difficult to realize.

"General!"

Li Chengqian shouted and jumped in excitedly.

A series of horses, two horses.

Li Chao scratched his head. He was a little distracted just now, but he lost if he was not careful.

But losing is losing, Li Chao simply admits defeat.

Playing chess is like fighting. If you are distracted and you are careless, you may make mistakes in one step, and you may make mistakes in one step and eventually lose.

"Well, the chess skills have improved a lot!"

Li Chao praised.

"The first time, I finally defeated the teacher!" Cheng Qian was proud. Every time he played chess with the teacher, he would lose in the end. What made him angry the most was that he played chess with the teacher. Every time he made you feel that he could defeat him this time, and then every time the result was that after using all his strength, he lost with just one move.

The Lai Heng brothers turned their heads and took a look at the chessboard, then raised the corners of their mouths and turned around to read the book.

The brothers of Lai are one head taller than Prince Chengqian. The two brothers who are in the development stage are in their development and begin to change their voices. There is even some fluff on their mouths, and the two brothers have become more introverted.

The brothers who came from the generals lost their father at a young age and their hard experiences in the past few years have prevented them from learning martial arts, but are devoted to learning literature, and are even more introverted in their personalities.

They were found by Qin Qiong and adopted them as their adopted sons. Later, they were sent to Li Chao to study. At first, the two brothers were relatively withdrawn and did not communicate with Li Chao very much. Gradually, they are much more normal now.

However, the two brothers really love reading and are not reading at all times.

Li Chao was their righteous brother, but they usually called Teacher Li Chao. As they shouted, Li Chao was used to it now. It is said that the elder brother is like his father, and he has actually always played the role of their father.

Li Chao is the world's praise of the military god, but these two generals are devoted to studying literature. Even if they are under the military god, they are still not interested in military tactics and strategies.

"The two senior brothers are so nerdy."

Chengqian often commented on his two senior brothers like this. Although Chengqian is also smart, his grades are not good. "I only know how to study all day long and have both civil and military skills. I will not be like them. I will become a teacher in the future and be able to be civil and military skills."

"Another plate!"

Cheng Qian finally won a game today and wanted to take advantage of the victory.

"Let's just stop here today!"

Li Chao smiled and refused. Playing chess with Cheng Qian was not just a simple entertainment, but also a kind of education. He taught him the overall view and calculation, etc.

But Li Chao really has no time to go there again today, and Li Shimin is about to arrive.

Li Shimin also took the route Li Chao came to Shannan, left Lantian Pass and passed Wu Pass, then followed the Danjiang River and went straight to Xiangyang by boat.

"Cui Yan!"

A clanging sound came out, "The last one is here!" Cui Yan stepped forward.

Li Chao's elder brother-in-law, Cui Shanfu's treacherous son, had no status in the Cui family before, but the dignified Cui son joined the army and worked hard to create a brigade coach. Since he met Li Chao, his life experience has also changed drastically.

Now, he is the founding earl and a fifth-rank general, especially not Li Chao's military strategy.

Li Chao's student and Li Chao's brother-in-law, this identity made him extremely trusted by Li Chao. Cui Yan's work has always been very satisfied with Li Chao.

"It's almost time. I'll inform you and prepare to go out of the city to pick you up!"

Cui Yan saluted, "Don't Your Majesty arrive tomorrow?"

"Well, it's said to be here tomorrow, but in fact, Your Majesty is not in that team, Your Majesty will be here today."

Li Shimin is also a person who doesn't play by the rules. In the past, he used to lead troops to fight and liked to charge and trap the most. He also liked to take a few people to the enemy formation to observe the enemy situation and did a lot of adventures.

Now that he is an emperor, he is not much better.

He insisted on taking the prime ministers to Xiangyang first, and then leaving behind the prime ministers in Shangzhou, and directly leading the guards to set out first.

Cui Yan was a little surprised and asked, "Do you inform Xiangyang City?"

"No, just bring our thousand people, well, let me notify the eldest princess too."

"yes!"

Cui Yan took a step away.

Li Chengqian packed up the chess pieces in his seat and asked with a smile, "When the father is here, the master's wife is coming soon. Last time, you wrote a letter to the master's wife truthfully. When the master's wife comes, she sees her aunt is also there, aren't you afraid that they will fight?"

"Do you think your master's wife will fight with your aunt?"

"Well, probably won't. Master's wife is such a smart woman. If she really wants to beat her, she can't beat my aunt."

Li Chao shook his head with a smile.

After Cheng Qian broke through his underground relationship with Pingyang that day, he did write a long letter to Cui Yingying. In the letter, he spread the matter between him and Pingyang. He did not intend to keep this matter hidden, but he did not receive a reply after the letter was sent out.

Li Chao didn't know what his attitude and mood Thirteen Niang was now.
