Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

I

Du Shaoqing could see that the old man didn't know what was going on, he must be deliberately making things difficult for him.

Seeing that his son-in-law stopped talking, Li Er issued the order to evict the guest: "If you don't have any good ideas, then hurry back and take care of the family's marriage, and don't disturb my elegant mood."

"Hi! No wonder your old man saw me wrong from the moment I entered the door. So it was because of this? I really didn't deliberately make a fuss about Dahu's marriage. I wanted to keep a low profile, but the woman was too hard to find, so I had to make some noise "Du Shaoqing quickly explained.

Li Er waved his hand and said: "Du Dahu is a hero, I am not a stingy person, I don't mean to blame, you manage well, and I will send a congratulatory gift when the date is set."

"The son-in-law will thank his father-in-law for Duhu."

"Okay, let's get back quickly."

Du Shaoqing: I haven't talked about the business yet.

"I said, don't talk about political affairs today, come back tomorrow!"

"As for the outing, I have another idea."

Empress Changsun looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Your Majesty always thinks that this son-in-law doesn't come often enough, but today he comes and you go outside? I don't know why?"

Li Er snorted and said: "If this kid can leave his family's marriage affairs behind, it will definitely not be a trivial matter. If there is no incident and no information in the court, then he is going to come up with some crooked ideas. , but it is hard for me to occasionally have a half-day leisure in Fusheng

Don't you kid know how to honor the elderly? "

Du Shaoqing suddenly realized, he really admired him in his heart, he had already been guessed without saying a word, as expected, the older he was, the more demon he became.

"My son-in-law wants to build a large sports field in Chang'an City, surrounded by stands, with a lawn in the middle, and a running track. It can hold horse races, football games I invented, etc. The common people can participate in the crowd. It must be very lively.

I’m just afraid that it will be a waste of time and money, so”

Li Er's eyes lit up. The big theater this kid built before was very good and very popular, so this stadium must not be bad, so he nodded immediately and said, "It's a waste of money? No, it's all your kid spending money. If you don't pay a penny, you won't hurt your wealth, and the common people can still make money and benefit, which is very good.

So do it, go! "

Poof Du Shaoqing really wanted to vomit blood, so I just said a word, it's not worth the effort to lose money, and I don't even have a good face, so why are you driving me away?

There is no way, if you want anything from others, you must be humble, Du Shaoqing said with a bitter face: "I will pay all the money, and I will pay it all, and I will treat it as a filial piety to my father-in-law and contribute to Chang'an.

But I paid so much money at once, you must give me a chance to say something, right? "

Empress Changsun persuaded with a smile: "Your Majesty, why do you have to embarrass a child? Shaoqing has always been impartial and selfless. It must be a matter of state for him to be in such a hurry to find you.

Talk to the two of you, today Xiumu will go to Shaoqing's house to see Lizhi and the two children, and I will make arrangements right away. "

Du Shaoqing gave this caring mother-in-law a big compliment in his heart, looked at the unhappy father-in-law, Du Shaoqing went straight to the topic and said: "Today I came to ask my father-in-law, I want to take down Goguryeo!

I already

Um?No, you are not surprised?Did you already guess it?impossible"

Li Erbai glanced at the other party and scolded: "How can I not know about your brat? I have been fighting for more than 20 years from the beginning of the army in Taiyuan to the present. Do you think you can hide it from me?

The reason why soldiers and horses go before food and grass is known to all generals. Since winter, your Du Family Chamber of Commerce has been constantly mobilizing supplies to the northeast. In the past six months, you have tried every means to get Qin Huaidao, Cheng Chumo, Xue Rengui and other honorable children to the northeast. I already knew what you were thinking.

So as soon as you came to the door today, I knew why you came. "

Du Shaoqing smiled awkwardly, "It's all guessed right with this small thought."

"More than that, through the deployment of your materials and personnel, as well as the fighter plane to destroy Goguryeo, I have already calculated that you will come to fight within ten days before and after this."

"Convinced, your ability is even more accurate than the old gentleman's view of Tianshi Yuan!" Du Shaoqing was convinced, the old father-in-law's keen sense of war is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Li Er smiled slightly, looked at Du Shaoqing and said: "Hehe, I have thought about whether your kid will be killed first and then played, and if you don't come to me, so what?"

Du Shaoqing was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "How is it possible?

How dare I make a decision on such a big matter as a war between the two countries?Without His Majesty's approval, I would not be able to cut off as many heads as I have. "

"Then why don't you ask me for instructions on mobilizing food and grass and accumulating strength?" Li Er deliberately made things difficult.

"If this doesn't work, it can be explained that the Du Family Chamber of Commerce aids border guards, etc., at least it doesn't violate the law of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Your Majesty, you see that we are all fully prepared, Goguryeo is like meat that has reached your mouth, why not eat it?Therefore, everything is ready for this battle, and it is only a matter of His Majesty ordering this Dongfeng. "

Du Shaoqing stood with his hands down, looking at the emperor Li Er cautiously. He couldn't figure out whether his cutting first and playing later would touch the bottom line of an emperor. It doesn't matter.

Li Er looked at Du Shaoqing without saying a word, and suddenly smiled after a long time.

"Do you know what I admire most about you?"

Du Shaoqing was slightly surprised. Looking at the other party's smile, he stood back unnaturally, "Your Majesty, I'm not a manly man."

One sentence made Li Er almost vomit blood, and I choked back a lot of words, so I kicked Du Shaoqing and scolded: "I'm not a man!"

Then he said calmly: "I love you not only because you are talented, and not only because you are my son-in-law, but because you know how to advance and retreat, never rely on your talents, and you don't even have the slightest desire for power. This can be done There are too few people."

"Don't you keep scolding me for not doing my job properly and not seeking to make progress?" Du Shaoqing joked.

"Everyone has their own aspirations, you can't force them to come." Li Er sighed.

Then I stopped chatting and talked about the war, "I don't agree with the destruction of Goguryeo, the war between the two countries is not a child's play, and you know the truth that war will lead to death.

You can start a war at any cost for the sake of brotherhood and a bet, but as an emperor, I will never use swords and soldiers to waste money and people.

Datang has had enough wars in recent years, and the expansion of territory is too fast, but governance is a problem, so five years of peaceful development is not empty talk, and there will be no more wars for at least two years. "

Du Shaoqing was dumbfounded, and said anxiously: "If you don't agree to go to war to destroy the country, then what about the marriage between my third brother Du He and Cheng Yang's sister?

Or if you nod your head and agree to the marriage, that's fine too, and you'll save money by not fighting. "

Li Eryi thinks wrong, wouldn't it be you brat who used war to threaten me to marry my daughter?

"Marriage? Since the bet is made, it cannot be changed. You are not joking. If Du He can't do it, he can only blame him for not having this blessing."

"That's not right. You said you agreed to destroy the country in three years, but now it's good. We want to destroy the country and marry a wife. You insisted on not allowing war. After a long time, this is a one-sided bet. How about teasing us two brothers? Just say that you don’t want to marry your daughter?”

Seeing his son-in-law complaining, Li Er's face turned serious, and he scolded: "How do you talk?

I am the Son of Heaven, how could I tease my courtiers?

You proposed the terms of the contract, and you didn't find any problems at the time, so you don't want to now?There is no clause in our bet that I will help you promote the destruction of the country. "

It's over, Du Shaoqing is dumb and can't tell if he suffers from eating coptis, this old father-in-law is too difficult, isn't this a trap?

"If you don't have anything else to do, then forget it. The queen is probably ready soon, and I have to rush out of the palace to see my granddaughter. By the way, you come with me. If you come to your house as a guest, don't you do something yourself?" Good food is not enough." Li Er was about to go out after speaking.

Du Shaoqing was in a state of desperation. He was already on the verge of breaking out in front of him, but he was stuck here. How could he even think about cooking?Besides, you have often been guests at other ministers' homes. Do all the ministers cook for themselves?
