Chapter 434 Give It Up

"Try it, if you like it, bring some back when you go back." Cheng Yaojin laughed.

"Then I'll be disrespectful." Jiang Yunsheng picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

"Bitter first, then sweet, leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth. Great tea!" Jiang Yunsheng exclaimed.

"Haha, the old man asked someone to prepare some for you, take it with you when you go back." Cheng Yaojin laughed.

"Thank you, General." Jiang Yunsheng did not refuse.

Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and asked, "What do you think about Chu Mo and their marriage?"

Sitting at the bottom, Cheng Chumo heard Cheng Yaojin's words, and his body tensed unconsciously.

Jiang Yunsheng smiled and said: "Chu Mo is already a captain at a young age, so I am naturally very satisfied."

The marriage of the two has basically been settled, so talking about it now is just a formality.

Cheng Chumo laughed when he heard Jiang Yunsheng's words.

"Chu Mo may go out with the army next year, I mean to get their marriage done as soon as possible." Cheng Yaojin said.

"General, are you really going to use troops on the grassland next year?" Jiang Yunsheng asked excitedly.

Although there were often some wars during the border guards in Shu these years, they were all small fights.

In order to prevent the generals guarding the border from becoming too big, the imperial court will replace the generals after five years of guarding the border.

Now that his term of defense on the border has expired, he will stay in Chang'an from next year, which means that if he uses troops on the grassland next year, he will also be able to participate.

"No accident, there is a great possibility. At that time, Chu Mo will also go to the battlefield. The old man wants Chu Mo to get married as soon as possible." Cheng Yaojin said.

"Of course there is no problem." Jiang Yunsheng nodded.

If others might be worried, wouldn't his daughter be a widow if Cheng Chumo died?
But Jiang Yunsheng, as a general, wasn't worried about this.

Cheng Chumo was a school lieutenant after all, and his martial arts skills were not bad, so he didn't die so easily at all.

Next, the two began to discuss the specifics of the marriage.

……

palace, manna hall
Li Shimin was processing the memorial when Li Mu walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor is here."

"Do you know why?" Li Shimin quickly put down the memorial and asked.

"It seems that the Supreme Emperor wants to participate in this year's winter hunting." Li Mu said.

"Participate in winter hunting?" Li Shimin was stunned.

Li Yuan is more than 60 years old, and his body has been hollowed out by wine and sex these years, and he still wants to go hunting. Isn't this courting death?

Li Shimin didn't think much about it, and hurried out to greet him. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the main hall, he bumped into Li Yuan.

"See father." Li Shimin bowed.

Li Yuan ignored him and walked into the hall on his own.

Li Shimin hurriedly followed.

Li Yuan went to Li Shimin's place and sat down, and said, "I want to participate in this year's winter hunting."

"Why did the father suddenly think of participating in winter hunting?" Li Shimin asked carefully.

Now Li Yuan's influence has been weakened very little by him, he is not afraid of Li Yuan going out.

He was worried that if something happened to Li Yuan, he would be infamous.

"I just want to go, why? You don't agree?" Li Yuan glared at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin had a headache, he really wanted to refuse, but once he refused, the relationship that had been eased after so much effort would plunge into freezing point again.

"Father, it's fine for you to participate in winter hunting, but you can't go hunting yourself." Li Shimin said.

Li Yuan cast a glance at Li Shimin, and said: "Although I have already looked down on life and death, I will not court death."

After speaking, Li Yuan got up and left.

Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan's back, and asked with a gloomy face, "Who has seen Father Emperor recently?"

Although he put Li Yuan under house arrest, he did not restrict Li Yuan's sons and daughters from seeing him.

Li Yuan suddenly wanted to participate in winter hunting, but Li Shimin didn't believe it was a whim.

"Return to Your Majesty, only the King of Han has been to see the Supreme Emperor recently." Li Mu said.

"Li Yuanchang?" A killing intent flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.

Li Yuanchang is the seventh son of Li Yuan, 17 years old this year.

When Li Shimin came to the throne, Li Yuanchang was still young, and later he became obsessed with calligraphy and painting. Li Shimin felt that there was no threat. In order to show his mind, he gave Li Yuanchang the fiefdoms of Xihanzhou, Huazhou, Liangzhou and Longzhou, and changed the title to Hanwang.

In recent years, Li Yuanchang has also been very honest in the fiefdom.

Li Yuanchang wrote a letter a month ago, wanting to go back to Beijing to see his baby Li Yuan, but Li Shimin agreed without thinking too much about it. Now it seems that Li Yuanchang is not as honest as he appears.

"Pay close attention to the King of Han. If he goes to see his father again, report it immediately." Li Shimin said.

"Yes." Li Mu replied.

"In addition, send someone to the fiefdom of the King of Han to investigate carefully what he has done all these years." Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

……

Not long after Li Yuan returned to Da'an Palace, Li Yuanchang came to Da'an Palace.

Li Yuan sighed in disappointment, and asked someone to bring Li Yuanchang in.

"You all go down, no one is allowed to come in without my order." Li Yuan ordered.

"Yes." The maids and eunuchs in the main hall saluted and retreated.

Li Yuanchang saw the people back out, and quickly asked: "Father, did you agree?"

"You are too anxious." Li Yuan said expressionlessly.

"My son doesn't understand what my father means." Li Yuanchang asked doubtfully.

"I went to see Erlang on the front foot, and you came on the back foot. Do you think he won't doubt it?" Li Yuan said.

Li Yuanchang said in a panic, "Father, what should we do?"

"Give up." Li Yuan said with a sigh.

"Give up? Father, you said that the emperor's brother killed his brother and imprisoned his father. It's a big treason. You asked me to contact the old ministers and secretly accumulate strength. Now you tell me to give up? Will I let me go if I give up the emperor's brother?" Li Yuanchang looked at him with some ferocity. Li Yuan.

Li Yuan looked at Li Yuanchang without any disturbance, and said calmly: "You started to listen to me because of filial piety, but now you are only doing it for your ambition."

Li Yuan was able to establish the Great Tang, so naturally he was not so willing to be imprisoned by Li Shimin.

In order to show his heart, Li Shimin not only did not prohibit other brothers from coming to see Li Yuan, but also rewarded them very generously.

This also made Li Yuan see an opportunity.

Whenever those sons came to see Li Yuan, Li Yuan would instill in them the thought of Li Shimin killing his brother and imprisoning his father, so that they would go to the fief to secretly accumulate strength.

But Li Yuan's sons were either afraid of Li Shimin or were useless. Only Li Yuanchang, who was very smart, showed Li Yuan a chance.

Although Li Shimin cleaned up many ministers who were loyal to Li Yuan, it was impossible to clean up all those people.

Li Yuan asked Li Yuanchang to contact those people with his token.

But as time passed, he found that Li Yuanchang began to have ambitions.

In addition, Li Shimin managed Datang well, and Li Yuan began to grow older, and the hatred for Li Shimin in his heart dissipated a lot.

Li Yuan's thoughts on overthrowing Li Shimin and becoming emperor again also faded.

"Since my father told me to give up, why did I agree to participate in the winter hunting?" Li Yuanchang asked.

Although relying on Li Yuan's token, he has won over some people.

But those people are loyal to Li Yuan, not wanting to support Li Yuanchang.

As Li Shimin's control over the court became stronger and stronger, and Li Yuan's age also began to get older, his hearts began to fluctuate.

Li Yuanchang begged Li Yuan to participate in the winter hunting this time, because he wanted Li Yuan to show up to give those people some confidence.

But he didn't expect that Li Yuan clearly agreed, but let him give up.

He has been forbearing all these years, overthrowing Li Shimin has become his obsession, how can he give up?
