Changsun Wugou stared at Li Wenbin with a smile in his eyes:

"Thirty thousand crowns, that's almost half of your property, and you are willing to give it to others like this?"

"How could the mother be someone else?"

"Well, since that's the case, I'll accept these things for the sake of your filial piety."

"Thank you, mother, for your understanding. Mother, my son has been unable to figure out something, please give me some advice."

"Oh? You still have something you can't figure out? This is really a rare thing. If you have any doubts, just speak up."

"Actually, it's not really a doubt. It's just that when my son was reading books recently, he often read about those sages who often tortured themselves and tested themselves with three questions in order to break through themselves."

"Which three questions?"

"My son summed it up. These three questions are: who am I, where do I come from, and where am I going?"

Qiu Xiang covered her mouth with a smile and said, "What's the problem, my lord? You are naturally the king of Yidu County. You came from your mother to..."

"Qiuxiang, keep silent."

Changsun Wugou gave a low snort, and she couldn't care less about teasing anymore: "Wen Bin, when did you study mind?"

"Returning to the mother, the son just flipped through it casually when he had nothing to do, and it is not considered a study."

"That's good, that's good. Wen Bin, you remember. Those thoughts can only be understood by the great scholars of the world. You look at Li Gang, the grand master of the dynasty. He didn't dare to say great success at that age. You 15 years old, what are you doing learning this?"

"Leave all such questions behind in the future, and you must never think about it again, understand?"

"Yes, what the mother taught. It's just that the son understood the last question."

Changsun Wugou suddenly understood that Li Wenbin made such a detour because he wanted to tell himself about this matter.

"Wen Bin, don't go around the bush, just speak up if you have anything to say."

"Mother is really powerful. My son just showed a little flaw, and you discovered it right away."

"Don't talk nonsense, tell me quickly, if you don't tell me, I will leave."

"What the son means is that when the father ascends the throne, he will be sent to the son..."

"Oh, you're talking about this. Hehe, you've grown up, and you know you're here to run for office. Wen Bin, don't worry, the prince and I have seen what you've done these days. I will definitely entrust you to a rich place."

"Hmm... How about the same land? The Shu land is also good. If you think it's too far away, I can seal you to the land near Gyeonggi."

"Mother misunderstood. Didn't the son want to choose a fief where he can only eat and wait to die, and then spend his whole life doing nothing until he dies. The son wants...to join the army!"

The eldest grandson Wugou jumped up in shock: "Huh?"

These options mentioned by Changsun Wugou are very beneficial to Li Wenbin.

Qi is close to the sea. Although the salt production is now an official operation, the place is quite rich; and Shu, of course, has been known as the land of abundance since ancient times. As long as it is not too wasteful, you will live a good life.

And Gyeonggi refers to the range within [-] miles of Chang'an, the capital of the capital, which is also a very good choice.

Changsun Wugou threw out these three options at once, not on a whim, but because she really discussed it with Li Shimin.

Although it is said that the people of Qi are tough, the land of Shu is rich, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Li Shimin didn't take it seriously at all.

The future Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty is still very confident in his personality charm, and he also believes in his own vision.

Li Shimin had already determined that Li Wenbin would not seek rebellion—this was an intuition beyond the five senses, but Li Shimin relied on this illusory intuition to subdue many famous generals to serve him.

And if Li Wenbin chose the land of Kinki, it would also be a good choice - being closer to the emperor would always reap some unexpected benefits.

All in all, Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou were indeed thinking of Li Wenbin and did not harm him.

Li Wenbin also understands that these choices are very good, but...

This is not among the choices given by the system at all.

"Ding, the system issued a task."

"Option [-]: Refuse enfeoffment and stay in Chang'an; Option [-]: Choose to join the army."

It stands to reason that Li Wenbin's goal in life is to become a prince, to dominate the kingdom, and to lead a few dog legs around.

But the system didn't give him a corresponding choice at all.

According to Li Wenbin's understanding, the choices given by the system are definitely the best two under the current situation, so he gave up the goal of "eating until his mouth cramps, counting money until he wakes up naturally" without hesitation.

After much consideration, he decided to choose the second option, joining the army!
The Tang Dynasty did not respect literature and suppress martial arts like the later generations. The status of military generals can be equal to that of civil officials. Moreover, in the early Tang Dynasty when the world was not yet completely settled, military generals were able to suppress civil officials to death.

That being the case, why not choose to join the army?
When the time comes when you have military power in your hands, you can advance, attack, retreat, or defend...

It was for this purpose that Li Wenbin chose the second option.

But this time he made his choice, but the system didn't immediately issue a reward. Maybe he has to wait until the day he actually joins the army, right?

Changsun Wugou was so shaken by Li Wenbin's words that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a while, she hesitated and asked, "Wen Bin, are you sick?"

"Qiuxiang, go and touch the little prince's forehead to see if he has a fever?"

"Mother, my son is not sick, let alone have a fever. What my son said just now is from the heart!"

"Wen Bin, the world has basically settled down. You just want to get military merit, but it's not so easy to get it!"

"Mother, please see, this is what my son intercepted from the Turkic envoy Zhi Shi."

After receiving the letter, Changsun Wugou's expression changed drastically: "Wen Bin, how did you get this letter?"

"Mother, in order to spread what the former crown prince did, your son asked Cheng Yaojin for dozens of smart soldiers. Do you still remember this incident?"

"Well, I still remember. The prince said a few days ago that those sergeants have made great contributions."

"After the father became the prince, the son did not dismiss them, but let these soldiers inquire about the news in Chang'an City, and monitor the foreign envoys."

"What are you spying on them for? Did you already expect..."

"No, how can my son be so amazing?" Li Wenbin was a little embarrassed, "Back then, Zhishi had offended his son, so the son wanted to trouble him, so he sent a sergeant to keep an eye on the post where Zhishi lived. "
