Changsun Wuji happened to meet Li Tai by the Qujiang Pool. He originally wanted to turn around and leave, but he didn't expect that Li Tai would see his carriage. The other party enthusiastically stepped forward to invite him to attend the evening banquet.

Speaking of which, although Changsun Wuji didn't like Li Tai very much, and the relationship between them was not very good, they were nephews and uncles after all, so they still maintained a good relationship on the surface, and various New Year holiday ceremonies will not be lacking. It is precisely for this reason that when Li Tai saw Changsun Wuji, he could not pretend not to see it. Instead, he had to maintain the seeming harmony and personally come forward to invite Changsun Wuji to the banquet.

If it were normal, even if Changsun Wuji didn't want to go, he would find a reason to refuse. Even if he had time, he could go and sit there. At worst, he could have a drink and then leave. However, today's situation was special. He had just been warned by Li Shimin and did not allow him to approach Li Zhi again. As a result, he turned around and came to Li Tai's banquet. If Li Shimin knew about it, he might misunderstand what he had to do with Li Tai.

"No need, I'm not available now, King Wei, please go!" Changsun Wuji replied in a tough manner. He didn't want to get involved with Li Tai anymore, otherwise he would be in front of Li Shimin.

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he ignored Li Tai's reaction at all. He immediately turned around and left here, leaving Li Tai standing alone in the middle of the road. There were many literati and famous scholars coming to the banquet behind him. They saw Changsun Wuji's performance just now, and they were all staring at Li Tai.

Looking at Changsun Wuji's carriage away, Li Tai also felt ashamed and angry, especially with so many people behind him. Even if he didn't look back, he could feel countless hot gazes behind him, and even made him feel ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in. After all, he was so old, Changsun Wuji was the second person who dared to give him face so much. The first one was naturally Li Xiu who drove him out of the mansion.

"Hmph, I don't know what's wrong!" After a while, Li Tai realized that he was shaking his sleeves in the direction where Changsun Wuji left, and he said angrily. Changsun Wuji was his elder no matter what, and there were so many people around him, so he couldn't scold Changsun Wuji for being "no matter how bad". He could only use the so-called "not knowing what's wrong, but the anger in his heart was almost burning to the top of his head.

The next morning, the conflict between Li Tai and Changsun Wuji on the banks of Qujiang Pool had spread throughout Chang'an City. After all, there were so many eyes watching at that time, and it was impossible to hide it. It is said that Li Tai was so angry that he did not show any good expression at the banquet in the evening, and the guests who attended did not have fun.

Among the guests Li Tai invited, many were the husbands and students of Zhongnan Academy. As a result, this incident naturally spread in Zhongnan Academy quickly. Li Xiu naturally heard about it. Although he didn't know what Li Shimin warned Changsun Wuji, he could guess some of it through this incident. He couldn't help but laugh at Li Tai's bad luck.

The academy's discussion meeting was finally over, and Li Shimin also agreed to support Bahra, so he sent someone to start negotiations with Persian envoy Zamas. After all, the Tang Dynasty could not support them for nothing, and Persia had to pay a certain price. Although it was not guaranteed that Persia would abide by these conditions in the future, what should be needed was still needed.

Before the negotiations on Persia were over, good news came from Gaochang again. This time, Hou Junji led his troops to attack Gaochang, which was said to be frequent. Last time, he reported that Qu Wentai was scared to death. As a result, good news came again, that is, Qu Wentai's son Qu Zhisheng recruited troops from all over the country to fight against the Tang army, but he was defeated in one battle and could only retreat to Gaochang City. In addition to this capital, all other territory in Gaochang can be regarded as being occupied by the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to the situation in Gaochang State, Hou Junji also reported a bigger good news, that is, the movements on the Western Turks. Speaking of which, at the beginning, Li Shimin judged that the Western Turks did not dare to send troops, at most they were just doing things. In fact, as he guessed, the Tang army has now begun to besiege the capital of Gaochang, and the Western Turks have only sent tens of thousands of people to Futu City, and they dared not enter Gaochang at all.

But what no one expected was that the generals sent by Yibidulu Khan to lead troops to Futu City this time didn't know what they thought. After arriving at Futu City, they actually led their troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. As a result, Hou Junji took down Futu City without any effort, and received tens of thousands of surrendered troops with him, as well as a large number of supplies, which could be said to be an unexpected surprise.

The reinforcements of the Western Turks surrendered, and Gaochang was in despair. It was estimated that Qu Zhisheng would surrender. At that time, the entire Gaochang capital would be the treasure of the Tang Dynasty. As for the Western Turks, there was no need to worry about it. After all, even the reinforcements sent were surrendered. Now the Western Turks are disgraced and have no shame to send people.

Time passed quickly, and it was already the cold winter season. It was about to be a new year. Li Zhi also began to prepare for going to Bingzhou next year. He was young, so Li Shimin sent him a few capable people to assist him. However, if there were any problems in normal times, Li Zhi still liked to discuss with Li Xiu. Li Xiu had nothing to do now, just helped Li Zhi prepare for going to Bingzhou.

"Sir, after I leave next year, I'm afraid I won't be by your side and listen to your teachings all the time." As the date of departure approached, Li Zhi's mood became a little depressed again.

"It's okay, Bingzhou is not too far from Chang'an. Then we can contact each other by letter. Speaking of which, Yangzhou is even further away, but your third brother's letter is often sent." Li Xiu smiled and explained. After all, Li Zhi was a child and his emotions changed very quickly. He thought about going to Bingzhou to do something for his career some time ago, but now he is reluctant to leave.

"Well, I will definitely not lose to my third brother, but if you have time, can you go to Bingzhou to see me? It is best to bring my fifth sister and Yizi with me. Although I haven't left yet, I will definitely miss them!" Li Zhi first raised some fighting spirit when he heard Li Xiu's words, but soon said with a little begging.

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Xiu couldn't help but turn his head and look at the rest of the students and others who were playing with other students in the distance. He had just finished class today, but Li Zhi was pulled aside to discuss going to Bingzhou.

"I will definitely visit you in Bingzhou when I have time in the future, but it will be too difficult for Yizi and Lizhi to leave Chang'an. It will depend on your father's attitude at that time." Li Xiu said again at this time. At the end of the conversation, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I also know that it is too difficult to let Yizi and Wujie visit me, but I can't come back easily. But if it really doesn't work, then you can just visit me by yourself." Li Zhi also understood Li Xiu's difficulties, and he spoke again, but at the end of the conversation, the expression on his face was still a little depressed.

"Zhinu, don't be too sad. Then I will visit you with my father. If possible, I want to stay with you for a while. First, I will accompany you, and secondly, I can also exercise my abilities!" At this moment, suddenly, Heianlang next to me said, "Hei Anlang has a good relationship with Li Zhi, so he was with him when Li Xiu was talking to Li Zhi just now.

"Really, Brother Ping'an, can you really live with me in Bingzhou?" Li Zhi couldn't help but lit up his eyes when he heard Ping'anlang's words. The reason why he was reluctant to leave Chang'an was because his relatives and friends were all here. If he went to Bingzhou alone, he was worried that there would not be anyone around him. As for the ministers assigned by his father, each of them looked serious, which was really hard to get close to.

"Of course, I'm already an adult. As the saying goes, reading a book of Wanduo is worse than traveling thousands of miles. The last trip to Liaodong has benefited me a lot, so I plan to go out for another experience in the past two years. Anyway, it's the same, and I can still accompany you when I go there." Ping Anlang said with a smile, as if he was talking about a very relaxed thing, which made Li Zhi also show an envious expression. After all, he has never been so free.

However, Li Xiu next to him frowned when he heard his son's words. He originally wanted to say something, but thinking that Heianlang was already an adult, he could not speak in the end.
