Datang: Get a god-level selection system at the beginning

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wugou brought their sons into the palace to pay New Year's greetings to Tang Gaozu Li Yuan.

Li Wenbin was dressed in the robes of aristocratic children who had no official position, and a golden crown on his head, walking at the end of the group.

His face was withered and yellow, his feet were stilted, and he looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Changsun Wugou looked back, and then looked at Li Shimin with complaints in his eyes.

"My lord, you guys are really trying your best to feed a child."

Li Shimin smiled wryly: "Guanyin maidservant, you can't blame me all for it, at that time... hey, forget it."

That day, Li Wenbin was very excited about poetry. After reading, he drank three bowls of spirits, then fell to the ground, and slept for two days before finally waking up.

The eldest grandson Wugou said worriedly: "I don't know what the father thinks. He specifically ordered Wen Bin to enter the palace to face the saint. He looks like this now. What if he is bullied in the palace? Is good?"

"Avalokitesvara, I think you worry too much." Li Shimin pointed to Li Wenbin, who seemed to be in awe, and whispered, "As long as he doesn't cause trouble for me, I'm already thankful."

"Are you still worried about others bullying him?"

When Changsun Wugou thought about it, it was indeed the truth, and then she felt relieved.

"Hey, Li Wenbin, you should be more energetic." At this moment, Li Chengqian began to find fault, "We are going to meet the emperor's grandfather now. Your virtue will embarrass the Qin Palace."

After yawning heavily, Li Wenbin said weakly: "I said, son, do you want me to steal your limelight?"

"If you really think so, then I can't."

Li Chengqian was choked to death, his face was swollen like a toad, but he was so angry for a long time that he didn't know how to answer, so he could only snort, turned around and stopped talking to him.

Li Shimin gave Changsun Wugou a look: You see, this is what you were worried about being bullied just now.

For example, after entering Miyagi, entering Taiji Palace, this is where Li Yuan lives and is also used to hold grand celebrations.

"I wish my father a happy new year, and I also wish the Tang Dynasty enjoy peace forever."

Li Shimin paid New Year greetings to Li Yuan, and then presented a gift to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Oh? Let me see what gift King Qin gave me."

"Father, this is written by the son himself, and he has recited the Tao Te Ching a thousand times. It is specially dedicated to the father to express the filial piety of the son."

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Taoism was the state religion, and the emperors of the Tang Dynasty also regarded themselves as descendants of Li Er, the Supreme Lord. Li Yuan was very satisfied with this gift from Li Shimin.

"Well, Erlang, I like your gift very much, you have bothered."

"As long as the father and emperor are in good health, there will be no swordsmen in my Tang Dynasty, and my ministers will not hesitate to work hard."

This method was suggested by Li Wenbin—in his words: the emperor is now rich all over the world, even if you get the most expensive gift, father, can it be more precious than the one in the palace?

Besides, if you really get it, then I am afraid the emperor will think more about it.

And the gift presented by Li Shimin was very elegant, and it tickled Li Yuan's itch again, and made Li Jiancheng beside him so angry that he was half dead.

He deliberately spent countless money and managed to get a statue of the Supreme Lord carved from a whole piece of jade from other places. Unexpectedly, compared with Li Shimin's gift, it turned into bricks and rubble.

Li Jiancheng couldn't swallow this breath, and quickly winked at Qi Wang Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji understood, came out and said: "Father, Second Brother, this is a trick, but it is actually disrespectful to you, Father, please be careful."

Hearing this, Li Shimin was furious: "Fourth brother, what do you mean?"

Li Yuanji smiled sadly: "Second brother, what do I mean, don't you understand? You have been fighting abroad for many years, and you have gained a lot of benefits, but it is just such a humble gift for the emperor? "

"Second brother, I want to ask you, how did you get it?"

Li Shimin's fair face turned purple, but he didn't want to quarrel with Li Yuanji in front of Li Yuan, that would be his trap.

"Okay, stop arguing." Li Yuan's face remained unchanged, "Today is the New Year, did you two come here on purpose to disturb me?"

Anyone with a discerning eye would know that it was Li Yuanji's fault - the emperor said he liked it very much, so why do you have nothing to say?
However, when Li Yuan came to a conclusion, he was deliberately favoring Li Yuanji. Although everyone could see this, no one dared to speak up for Li Shimin.

"Yes, Father."

Li Shimin suppressed his anger and said, but at this time Li Wenbin quit: "Grandfather, there is something unclear about my grandson, can I ask my grandfather to clarify my doubts for my grandson?"

Li Yuan stared at Li Wenbin, who was leaving the shift, and asked, "Which one are you?"

Li Wenbin: "..."

Li Shimin said quickly: "Father, this is the eldest son of my minister. The one you met last time is named Li Wenbin."

"Oh, I remembered." In front of all the officials, Li Yuan still had to put on a show, "If you have any questions, just speak up."

"Yes, thank the emperor's grandfather." Li Wenbin said loudly, "May I ask the emperor's grandfather, is money or people's hearts more important?"

"This... naturally, the heart is important. You can find a way after you have spent all your money. If you lose your heart, you can't get it back."

"Thank you, Grandfather, for clearing up my grandson's confusion. If grandson dares to ask again, which one is more precious, this Tao Te Ching, which embodies the father's filial piety and painstaking efforts, or the gift from His Royal Highness King Qi?"

"This……"

Li Shimin was anxious: "Wen Bin, don't mess around."

Li Wenbin gave a salute: "Father, you spent a lot of energy praying for the emperor's grandfather, it is for filial piety; the son speaks out of righteousness today, it is also for filial piety."

Li Yuan stroked his beard and stopped talking, but he looked at Li Yuanji with dissatisfaction.

"Nonsense, nonsense." Li Yuanji became anxious all of a sudden, pointing at Li Wenbin and yelling, "Huangkou kid dares to be presumptuous in this Taiji Hall. Second brother presenting such a gift is clearly a sensationalist!"

"His Royal Highness King Qi, my father once read a poem after being drunk, but my nephew only remembered two lines of it."

"What poem?"

"Those who know me say I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want." Li Wenbin said loudly, "I think my father is upright and upright, and he has acted upright all his life, but in the eyes of His Royal Highness King Qi, there is such an evaluation. Sad, I'm depreesed."

As he spoke, he sighed and shook his head. Civil and military officials couldn't help but admiring Li Shimin's literary talent at the same time.
