After returning from Wudang Mountain, Li stayed at home with his wives, concubines and children for several days. Every day, he carried the children to bask in the sun, chatted with his wives and concubines, and when it was time to dinner, he entered the kitchen on time to cook for his family.

Before Li came back, the wives and concubines in each house all ate their own yards, and their father and Qi Niang did not go with him. After Li came back, the family ate at the same table every day.

Dad, Qi Niang, Lian'er, Lan'er, Li and Cui, Du Shiniang, Zheng Hongxian, Zheng Wanyan, two Hu Ji, a family of ten, plus six children, and Zhao Siniang, who was taken as his goddaughter by Qi Niang, the table was just full.

Everyone is used to Li’s cooking day every day. Every day when meals arrive, everyone actively sets up the table and serves dishes, which is very warm and lively. Li’s meals have been unanimously praised by everyone.

Li returned to Xiangyang, and many people came to visit him, but except for the bearded guests, Li was closed to him. He just came back and wanted to hide for a few days, so he didn't even go to the East Palace.

Li intends to let the queen spend more time with the prince.

After a few days of leisure at home, the Li family's high walls and gates were unable to stop everything from the outside world.

Li did not go to see Li Shimin, but Li Shimin came to see Li in person. He did not bring any honor guards or show off any show. Only Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and Empress Changsun also brought Li Tai and Li Lizhi.

Li was not surprised to hear that the queen brought a family to visit him in a misfortune.

Just as he was about to open the middle door to greet him, Li Shimin had already brought his family into the mansion. Li Shimin was wearing black casual clothes today, looking very casual. He went straight into the hall of the Li family, untied his coat, and sat on the soft sand of the Li family.

Li comes in.

"Today I came with Guanyin maid and I, just to visit relatives. We don't care about the public today, just use private gifts. Come, Wenyuan, come and sit down."

Seeing Li Shimin doing this as soon as he came, Li Xin smiled and walked to the opposite Li Shimin to sit down.

Li Shimin leaned against the sand and looked at Li several times.

"Is Wen Yuan sick?"

"Back to your Majesty, no."

"No? Then why did you not return to the yamen for many days, nor come to the court to see me, and never go to the Eastern Palace. I heard that you were still closed to thank the guests, but no one saw him, but only Zhang Zhongjian. I thought you were infected with the cold and shameful."

Li Rushi said, "It's just that I'm lazy for a while and want to be lazy."

Li Shimin was choked by Li's shameless words.

After a while, I laughed.

Queen Changsun said, "Looking at your chatting, I'll go and see Sister Cui and the others. Only women and women have topics."

The queen hugged Li Lizhi and took Li Tai away. Cheng Qian was also called by the queen to see his young wife Xia Hua.

There were only two kings and ministers left in the hall for a moment.

"Are you still angry with me for hitting you last time?" Li Shimin asked.

"How dare you!"

"How dare? That consciousness means that I really have resentment in my heart?"

Li was too lazy to pay attention to his stingy words. "Actually, I fully understand His Majesty's mood at that time when things happened that day. My parents' loving their children was just out of control for a while. It is understandable that I am also the father of six children."

"I want to apologize for what happened that day. I was impulsive and lost control. I shouldn't hit you. In fact, I think about it carefully afterwards. I can't blame you or blame you for what Chengqian is. Chengqian was a little weak and a little introverted, but after being handed over to you, the prince was completely like a different person. I am very happy to see the changes of the prince. The prince has become very good and even a bit perfect. It is therefore because of this that I have high hopes for Prince Yue. When I heard you say you want to amputate that day, I really lost control."

Li Shimin sighed, speaking sincerely to Li.

Li nodded and listened, but he didn't really put it in his heart. After all, Li Shimin is the emperor and is more and more adept at acting and show. Who knows how sincere he is in his words?

Even if what he said was true at this time, Li would not have believed him completely because of this.

You can't believe even the money to avoid death, let alone such private words, just listen to them. However, Li Shimin's ability to say such words and even apologize now is indeed not a surprise to Li.

This shows that Li Shimin still trusts him very much. Li Shimin, who has been emperor for less than a year, did not completely be a minister for Li, but a partner to start a business together.

This is valuable and may disappear slowly in the future.

"It's good that you don't get angry with me. I haven't called you into the palace these days, so I'll give you a few days to rest. But I can't let you rest too long. National affairs are difficult. I'm busy with everything every day, and I'm still in a hurry. Xuanling and Ruhui are also busy. I need you to return to the court immediately. I need you, and the court cannot live without you."

"Wenyuan, I need you!"

Li was moved by the emperor's words.

"Your Majesty, I have limited abilities. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, Fang Shu Duan, two servants are good at strategy and decisive, and each has their own strengths. But I am not good at dealing with government affairs. To be honest, I have a headache about those memorials, and I will be troublesome to read."

"I know that your awesomeness lies in your outstanding vision and a good overall view. You can see many things very accurately and even have a prescient view. I need your overall view and your foresight."

Li Xin thought, I know two thousand years ago and one thousand years later, of course I have foresight and a view of the overall situation.

"Wen Yuan, there is something I can't make up for now and I want to ask for your opinion."

Li Shimin talked about the robbery of hungry people. Some hungry people were afraid of the government arresting them after the robbery and fled into the mountains. Now many such chaotic people have gathered together and formed gangs, with a few people with a dozen people and a few dozen people with a large number of dozens of people. These people have seriously affected the local security situation.

Some prime ministers proposed to encircle and suppress and severe punishment, while others proposed to recruit surrender and pacify.

"Suppress or comfort me, Wenyuan teaches me!"

It is actually an indescribable thing to do the hungry people who are in chaos. All dynasties have rebelled, and the court has suppressed and pacified each other.

But in fact, neither suppression nor comfort are fundamental.

The fundamental reason is why refugees are in trouble.
