Journey to the West: At the beginning, Li Er was mistaken for his father

Li Er is not a practitioner, so he didn't know that Li Xiudao successfully broke through the innate.

But he could also see that Li Xiudao's temperament had changed significantly compared to before.

If it is said that before, Li Xiudao's aura was only able to suppress Qin Shubao, Yu Chigong and others who were the courtiers, but it had no effect on Li Er who was the master.

So now...

Even when Li Er faced Li Xiudao, he could feel a slight sense of oppression, and instinctively shook his body, trying to adjust to a comfortable distance.

"Well, don't scare this cheap dear father."

Seeing Li Er's appearance, Li Xiudao immediately reacted, and hurriedly gathered the mana into his body, and then said.

"Father, there should be a curfew in Chang'an.

It's getting dark now, we have to hurry home..."

"Ah, go home...this...?!"

Li Er rubbed his head, a little at a loss.

If Li Xiudao is really his illegitimate son, he still knows how to arrange it.

But that's not it.

Li Er is very tangled now.

He could tell that Li Xiudao was not the kind of person who coveted wealth and power. If he knew that he had nothing to do with Li Er, he would definitely turn around and leave.

Li Er didn't want to miss this kind of pillar, but he didn't know how to keep Li Xiudao in a logical way.

"I see, you are afraid of offending Er Niang.

As for what, you just say it..."

Li Xiudao sighed, seeing Li Er's faltering appearance, he probably understood this.

Li Er was only in his early forties, considered very young, and he was an official in the court.

In the past 18 years, how could he not have married again? Of course he dared not bring himself back.

"Forget it, seeing you today, the goal has been achieved..."

Shaking his head, Li Xiudao turned around and was about to leave.

"do not!"

Seeing that Li Xiudao was about to leave, Li Er became anxious immediately, and quickly reached out to grab him, no matter what, he had to keep this kid first.

Li Er's mind was spinning at an unprecedented speed.

"Well, you stay with an old friend of mine for a few days, and I'll talk about other things when I make arrangements..."

----

"Fang Xuanling, this cheap old man looks really big as an official, he actually knows the current prime minister!"

Looking at the vast mansion in front of him, Li Xiudao said with emotion.

Every inch of land in Chang'an is expensive, and having such a large area is enough to show the power of the master.

And Li Xiudao is no stranger to this name.

Although he heard from the unofficial history that Fang Xuanling's daughter-in-law, Princess Gao Yang, had an affair with Monk Bianji and put a big green hat on Fang's family, which made her feel ashamed.

But think about it, being able to marry Li Er's most beloved princess, doesn't it just show how favored the Fang family is in front of Li Er.

This kind of Monk Hua who doesn't abide by the rules and precepts is too cheap for him to be cut in half.

However, it seems that Bian Ji came to the fore and got to know those dignitaries only to help translate and sort out the scriptures brought by Tang Seng from the West.

Journey to the West hasn't started yet, so there shouldn't be such a thing.

Li Xiudao was still thinking about this, but in the hall on the other side, Fang Xuanling opened his mouth wide in shock.

When Li Er sneakily sent Cheng Yaojin to inform him, Fang Xuanling was still wondering what military affairs were going on.

It turned out that it was such a private matter.

In front of Li Xiudao, he hid his true identity for a whole day.

Now in front of Fang Xuanling, Li Er finally regained his emperor's demeanor, and said in a seemingly peaceful but unquestionable tone.

"Xuanling, the child will be handed over to you these few days, and you are the person I trust the most.

Two years from now, after Gao Yang marries your son Fang Yiai, we will still be in-laws. "

Among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Fang Xuanling is definitely Li Er's most trusted confidant, there is no second one.

Since Jinyang raised troops, Fang Xuanling had joined Li Er's command, constantly advising him, recommending and using the remaining "Seventeen Scholars".

The change of Xuanwumen was planned directly by him, and it can be said that he followed it from the beginning to the end.

Those lords who were defeated and joined the gang halfway were far less trusted than Fang Xuanling.

What Li Er said about "Fang Xuanling before Zhenguan and Wei Zheng after Zhenguan" was for others to hear.

It is the complete opposite of Fang Xuanling.

Wei Zheng first followed Li Mi, and then assisted Prince Li Jiancheng.

It can be said that every step is right with Li Er, and even suggested that Li Jiancheng should strike early.

Li Er hated Wei Zheng in his heart, but his teeth were itchy.

The reason why he was kept, and even promoted all the way to his official position, was to set an example and appease the Shandong forces behind Wei Zheng.

Show that you are magnanimous and don't dwell on old grudges.

Wei Zheng is also very understanding, seemingly sarcastic every day, but in fact it is aimed at some extravagant and wasteful little things.

Li Er won't give him a chance when it comes to real family and country affairs, and Wei Zheng doesn't dare to stand out casually.

"Your Majesty is thinking about using troops again?"

Fang Xuanling has been by Li Er's side for many years, and Fang Xuanling can tell what Li Er is thinking at a glance.

Li Er's ambition to expand the country has always been strong.

It's just that he was forcing the palace to seize the throne after all, killing his own elder brother, which is somewhat unpopular.

In the first few years before he took the throne, there were constant natural disasters.

Governing the world alone involved more than half of Li Er's mental strength, and the national strength was not enough to support large-scale use of troops.

After decades of recuperation, the national strength has almost recovered from the end of the Sui Dynasty.

But the problem followed.

Just as Li Er said with emotion before, after so many years, Yu Chigong and others who followed him to crusade against the world at the beginning have passed their golden age and could not stand the toss of the battlefield.

The younger generation has not grown up yet, so Li Er has no one to use.

At this time, Li Xiudao suddenly appeared in front of him. To Li Er, it was simply "God help me".

"Or Gory?!"

Fang Xuanling asked.

In the past, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goryeo three times, causing countless casualties and depleting the country's power. He died in the second generation.

Li Er always wanted to fulfill the unfulfilled ambition of Emperor Sui Yang, so that Tang could be considered to have truly surpassed Sui, so that he would not always be said to have taken advantage of it.

Moreover, once Goguryeo annexes the left and right, it will also be a great threat to Datang!

"That's right, those sticks!"

Li Erhao waved his hand.

"Among the three Koreas, Silla is the furthest away from us.

In the past two years, they have been showing goodwill to me, hoping that we can send troops to destroy Baekje and Goguryeo.

Now that I have found such a strong general again, everything is ready, I only owe Dongfeng..."

Li Eryue became more excited when he spoke, and he had the momentum to swallow thousands of miles like a tiger.

"After defeating Goguryeo in the east, I will march west to attack the Turks.

Until the places where the sun and the moon shine in the world, all become the land and feudal states of our Tang Dynasty.

All other foreign countries have to come to Chang'an to pay tribute and become ministers! "
