Chapter 366 Don't recognize your father
Liangyi Hall, study room.
At 2:00 pm, after lunch break, Li Shimin arrived at the study on time. He saw Li You chatting with Ma Xuanliang at the door and waiting for him.
Seeing Li Shimin coming, Li You saluted and said, "Son Master, please see your father."
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Come with me."
"Father, what good is there for you to call me? "Li You said with a smile.
Li Shimin did not sit behind the desk, sat on the sofa, and signaled Li You to sit down. He said, "You'er, you have a good vision. Yi Nan's daughter is not simple, she is a character, and it will definitely be of great help to control Xue Yantuo."
Li You smiled and said, "That's right, the father is wise and powerful, why is your son's vision bad?"
Li Shimin smiled and said, "You guy! You can talk." He continued, "You'er, the Tiefutu and Modao Formation are very powerful. When the two armies were facing each other, it would be fine if they were one to be ten, or even one to be one to be a hundred.
Tell me, if our Tang Dynasty had tens of thousands of such troops, who would dare to fight against each other?"
"Father, this is very good, it's too expensive..." Li You explained to Li Shimin the cost of building a Tiefutu.
Li Shimin was familiar with the military. He knew that the cost should be very high, but he didn't expect it to be so big, and he felt a little depressed.
Li You said: "Father, I can't use that much. There are only 5,000 Tiefutus and 20,000 Modao soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. Tiefutus is stationed in the capital of the capital as a strategic deterrent force. If a war breaks out, you can send different numbers of Tiefutus to the battlefield according to the scale of the war.
The Modao soldiers remained at 20,000, and 5,000 were stationed in the capital, northeast, southwest and northwest, which was enough to cope with the needs of the war. At this scale, my ministers were sure to be able to be equipped."
Li Shimin stood up and walked to the map, pointed to the place name above, and said, "It can be set here, here..."
Li You stood aside and watched with him.
Li Shimin's fingers kept moving and finally left the border. His fingers fell on the territory of Goguryeo. He said, "Sooner or later, I will lead the army to personally destroy Goguryeo."
Goguryeo is a major pain point for the Han people. It has been expanding since its founding in 37 BC and has fought with all dynasties after the Han Dynasty. Cao Wei once destroyed them once, but Goguryeo was resurrected from the dead and challenged the Han regime in the Central Plains again and again.
Not long ago, it withstood the massive attack of Emperor Yang of Sui, leading to the decline of the powerful Sui Dynasty. At this time, Goguryeo was in its heyday and did not take the Tang Dynasty seriously at all.
Goguryeo is a thorn that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the emperors of the Central Plains dynasty.
Li You said: "The father is right. I will destroy them sooner or later."
Li Shimin sat back on the sofa and discussed with Li You about the matter in the Western Regions.
Li You said: "Did the things that Father and son minister have created are considered meritorious?"
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Forget it."
"Is there any reward?" Li You asked.
"Tell me, what reward do you want?" Li Shimin asked.
"Father, Erchen has been closest to his uncle since he was a child, and Erchen's mother is only one relative left. Erchen wants to ask for grace for them and fulfill his filial piety as a son." Li You said.
Li Shimin said unhappily: "If you want other grace, I can give it to you. This is a major event in the court, how can you interrupt at will?"
Li You sighed and said, "Father, it's really boring to do things with you. Forget it, I'm going to say goodbye." As he said that, he stood up, saluted, turned around and left.
"You bastard, stop here." Li Shimin said angrily.
"Your Majesty, what's your name?" Li You said.
When Li Shimin heard this, the bastard boy didn't even call his father, and he became even more angry. He said, "What do you mean? Don't you want to be my son anymore?"
Li You asked with his neck stammered, "Am I your son? When did you think I was your son?"
"You bastard, you..." Li Shimin was so angry that he pointed his finger at Li You and couldn't speak.
Li You walked back, sat on the sofa, and said, "Your Majesty, I asked you, I have been through life and death over the years. Even if I have no contribution, I have worked hard. But what did I ask you for?
What did the son-in-law get? I have nothing except conspiracy and conspiracy.
I ask you, apart from the prince’s brother, what is your son doing? They have gained more benefits than me.
Have you really cared about me? What have you thought about for me?
I bet that just today, there are still people plotting against me behind my back, but what have you done? What else is there besides doubting me?
Think about it, after so many conspiracy strikes, if I make a mistake once, I may lose my head, right?
I quit."
As he said that, he took out the gold medal from his arms and placed it on the coffee table.
No one dared to contradict Li Shimin like this. He pointed at the door in anger and said, "Get out of here."
"Get out." Li You stood up and went out.
Li Shimin was so angry that he grabbed the cup on the coffee table and fell to the ground.
Wang De and Ma Xuanliang were both frightened when they heard the argument between father and son inside, and they were sweating for Li You.
Soon, they saw Li You coming out, and then they heard the sound of a cup falling inside.
If it was normal, Wang De would definitely walk in as soon as he heard such movements inside. However, it was a quarrel between father and son. Wang De smartly chose to turn a blind eye and not go in as a punching bag.
Li Shimin was so angry that he felt that he couldn't get angry. If someone else dared to contradict him like this, Li Shimin would ask him for good looks on the spot, and might even detain him to behead him.
But Li You is different, really different. This child will bring him surprises at any time. Li You has made too many contributions over the years.
Not to mention anything else, the large amount of money that respects him every month makes him live a more comfortable life.
And they did not ask for any rewards.
Li Shimin got angry, but he had no reason to hate Li You.
Li Shimin only felt that he had no place to vent his evil fire and had no time to deal with official duties. He stood up, left Liangyi Hall, and walked towards the harem.
After so many years, Li Shimin has developed a habit of losing his temper, either venting his anger on the spot, such as swearing, detaining people, killing people, raiding their homes. If he still can't let out this tone, he will unconsciously go to find Empress Changsun.
Li Zheng Hall.
