I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 52 The First Meeting of Li Shimin

Li Shimin pondered for a while and said, "Zhijie, go and bring him over, I want to see him."

"Yes!" Cheng Yaojin answered with cupped hands.

Li Shimin waved his hand, Li Muxin understood, and shouted: "Retire."

……

"Qingque, why are you here?"

As soon as Li Shimin arrived at the door of the study, he ran into Li Tai.

"Father, my son heard that there was a snow disaster in Guanzhong, and I want to see if there is anything I can do to help." Li Tai said pretending to be serious.

Although Li Tai was made a prince, he is still too young to go to court, so he has to wait here.

"Okay, come in, don't talk when we discuss things later."

Li Shimin was very pleased to know that Li Tai shared his worries, and did not discourage Li Tai's enthusiasm.

"Yes!" Li Tai didn't change his face, but his heart was already full of laughter.

Not long after, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling... and other ministers all came to Li Shimin's study.

Li Chengqian, as the prince, is of course among them.

When Li Tai was there, Li Chengqian's expression darkened, but he didn't say anything.

"Sit down, wait for Zhijie to bring someone, and listen to what he has to say." Li Shimin said.

……

Lin Xuan was looking at the Three Kingdoms, when he heard a servant report that Cheng Yaojin was coming, he hurried out to greet him.

Not only that, Lin Dongyang and Zhang Qing were also shocked.

It was a great honor for their family that the Duke of the State came to their door.

However, Cheng Yaojin had the emperor's life, so he didn't have time to greet them, so he pulled Lin Xuan and said, "Hurry up, Your Majesty is waiting to see you!"

Lin Xuan was stunned.

Li Shimin wants to see himself?
Cheng Yaojin's tugging brought Lin Xuan back to his senses, "Uncle Cheng, why did His Majesty summon me suddenly?"

He couldn't figure out why Li Shimin met such a small person.

"There was heavy snow in Guanzhong. I told His Majesty about your stove, and His Majesty summoned you to ask about your stove." Cheng Yaojin explained.

Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can you ride a horse?" Cheng Yaojin asked.

Lin Xuan nodded, "Yes!"

Cheng Yaojin ordered a soldier to dismount and signaled Lin Xuan to go up.

Lin Xuan didn't say anything, and got on the horse directly.

In the era when imperial power was supreme, he could not refuse the emperor's summons.

Although someone in Chang'an City cleared the snow, the road was icy and slippery, and the speed of riding a horse was not fast.

Hurrying all the way, it took more than half an hour to arrive at the gate of the palace.

Although Cheng Yaojin is the Duke of the state, he has no right to bring anyone into the palace casually.

But the guards at the gate of the palace had already been notified, so after some inspection, they let the two of them into the palace.

Along the way, Lin Xuan looked around curiously.

Although the imperial palace in the Tang Dynasty was not as magnificent as the Forbidden City in later generations, it was also magnificent.

Lin Xuan followed Cheng Yaojin all the way to the outside of Li Shimin's study.

Cheng Yaojin said politely to the eunuch guarding outside: "Please trouble your father-in-law to go in and report, Cheng Yaojin will take Lin Xuan to see you."

Not long after, the eunuch came out and let Cheng Yaojin and the others go in.

Lin Xuan lowered his head slightly, followed Cheng Yaojin and walked in.

"Your Majesty, Lin Xuan has already brought it." Cheng Yaojin cupped his hands and said.

Lin Xuan bowed and saluted, and said, "Lin Xuan sees Your Majesty."

Cheng Yaojin talked to him about the etiquette when he came. Although Lin Xuan didn't do it properly, he looked decent.

Cheng Yaojin specifically told him to keep his head down when meeting the emperor and not to look around.

Lin Xuan knew that there were many people present, but he didn't know who they were.

"You are Lin Xuan? Look up and let me see." Li Shimin said.

He was still a little curious about Lin Xuan, having heard Lin Xuan's name twice before.

Once it was because of Keyun Tower, and another time it was mentioned when Li Tai offered his words.

He was still thinking about when to summon Lin Xuan and chat with him.

I didn't expect to see Lin Xuan for other things now.

Lin Xuan raised his head upon hearing this.

Li Shimin was looking at him, and he was also looking at Li Shimin.

Lin Xuan had fantasized about Li Shimin's appearance in his mind, but now that he saw the real person, he found that it was very different from what he had imagined.

Li Shimin is only 34 years old this year, and he is in his prime. Maybe because he has lived in the palace for a long time, he looks a little fat.

Wearing a crown on his head, wearing a python dragon robe, the hanging pearl tassels are at the same level as his eyes, and under the light of candles all over the room, he looks radiant.

"I heard that you invented a stove that can use coal for heating without poisoning?" Li Shimin asked.

"Back... back to Your Majesty, it is true."

Lin Xuan was a little cautious, but Li Shimin, known as Tian Khan, was in front of him, and he finally saw a real person.

"How did you do it?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

Lin Xuan explained to Li Shimin why coal is poisonous and how to avoid it.

Although Li Shimin didn't understand it very well, he probably understood the meaning.

In addition, Li Jing and the others said that there is no problem in using it, so he was relieved.

"Chengqian"

"My son is here!" Li Chengqian hurriedly came out.

Lin Xuan heard that the voice sounded familiar, so he took a peek at it out of the corner of his eye and was stunned.

Isn't this Li Gaoming?How did he become a prince, and what did Li Shimin call him just now?
Chengqian?

Li Chengqian?
Li Gaoming turned out to be Prince Li Chengqian?
So the woman named Li Changle last time wasn't a princess?

Lin Xuan was very confused for a while.

"You are responsible for the disaster relief. Lin Xuan will assist you. If you need anything, you can directly contact the Ministry of Industry." Li Shimin explained.

"Yes, my son takes orders."

Li Chengqian was very excited, this is a good opportunity to win the hearts of the people, he did not expect that Li Shimin would entrust this matter to him.

"Dai Zhou"

"I am here"

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs sent people to assist the prince, and the victims must be resettled as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Dai Zhou replied quickly.

"Father, my son please order to help the emperor." Li Tai said as he came out.

How could he let go of such a good opportunity.

"That's fine, you can go too." Li Shimin said after pondering for a while.

"Thank you, Father!"

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Li Tai would have laughed out loud.

Li Chengqian's face was gloomy, and he clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves.

He couldn't figure it out, since he was the prince, why did the emperor let Li Tai participate in this kind of matter of gaining popularity.

"Okay, you go, help the victims as soon as possible." Li Shimin waved his hand.

"My son retire."

"My minister retire."

Only Lin Xuan was still standing there blankly, he hadn't recovered from Li Chengqian's identity.

Cheng Yaojin saw that something was wrong with Lin Xuan, so he quickly pulled him.

Lin Xuan came to his senses, and quickly said: "Xiaomin resigns."

After Li Chengqian left, Li Shimin looked at Li Jing and the others and said, "In order to prevent people from rioting, Chang'an has started martial law. You should be prepared to deal with emergencies at any time."

"Yes!" Everyone responded quickly

They knew that Li Shimin was guarding against the family.
