Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 141 Brothers Dispute
Li Yuanying was chatting with people. He originally thought that there were not many people in the royal family, because after the Xuanwumen change, the two branches of Yuanji and Jianjian were basically killed. Only now do we know that there are so many people in the royal family of the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Tang established the country, basically all the people surnamed Li who were related to relatives were named kings and marquises. There are too many cousins, etc., too many to count, so there is a way to classify princes and princesses.

For example, Li Shentong, king of Huai'an, is the son of Li Yuan's eighth uncle Li Liang, and he and Li Yuan are cousins ​​and have a very close relationship.The Rencheng King Li Daozong mentioned earlier is the grandson of Li Yuan's fourth uncle Li Zhang, and Hejian County King Li Xiaogong is the grandson of Li Yuan's seventh uncle Li Wei.

After watching the wine and three rounds of food, the five tastes were almost the same, the emperor Li Er stood up and said: "Uncles and brothers, today's family banquet is considered a small gathering. Tomorrow night in the Taiji Palace, the surrounding small countries will come to congratulate my Tang Dynasty. There will be a big banquet, and then everyone will have to show their prestige."

Um?What happened?Many people were slightly taken aback, but everyone understood the meaning of the emperor's words, Li Xiaogong was the first to respond: "Good job, we must let them see the majesty of my Tang Dynasty."

"That's right, all of you should behave well, and we can't let these small countries look down on me, Datang!"

……

Seeing that everyone understood, Li Er smiled slightly, had a drink with everyone, and sat down again.Turning around, I wanted to ask my fifth younger brother Li Yuanying, but Li Yuanying spoke first, "Second brother, how many small countries are coming?"

"Well... quite a few, Goguryeo, Khitan, and Mohe in the east, Western Turks in the north, and even Jieli sent people, Gaochang Yanqi, a small country in the Western Regions, etc., oh yes, there are also a few blond and blue-eyed Dashi people. "

"So many? Are all nations coming to court?" Li Yuanying asked in surprise.

Li Er clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "It's great that all nations come to court. I have been able to overwhelm the world in less than ten years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. All nations have come to court. You should celebrate and drink this cup to the full!"

Li Yuanying's face darkened, and she said to herself, don't just patronize drinking, it's not good to be so happy, "Second brother, they came to worship, did they bring congratulatory gifts?"

Um?Congratulations?Li Er was almost choked, "Foreign envoys, of course, have to bring congratulatory gifts when they come to the audience, but my Tang Dynasty is a state of heaven, so I don't have anything? I don't care about their rags, fifth brother, are you short of money? Why? Brother's private library still has a little..."

... am I short of money?Forget about your private treasury, the harem feeds so many people, and if you distribute some lucky money during the Chinese New Year, if you share it with me, you will be nervous next month.

"Then, is our Tang Dynasty going to return the gift?" Li Yuanying asked.

Li Er said proudly: "Of course, our Central Plains is a kingdom of heaven, and we have our own majesty. We should let the small countries of the foreign countries feel our greatness and prosperity. Give them anything, and they will be grateful."

It's over... Li Yuanying slapped his forehead and almost understood it, as expected.

Seeing his younger brother's appearance, Li Er couldn't figure it out, and asked softly, "Fifth Brother, why do you feel like you are laughing at me?"

"Laughing at you? Aren't you laughing at you? Second brother, you belong to a big and stupid family with a lot of money." Li Yuanying didn't show mercy, "If someone gives you any gift or tribute, don't we have to double or even double it?" How many times in return? I heard that for the sake of the so-called greatness of the country, all we give are good things, not just casual charity.

In my opinion, it is true that the other party has benefited a lot, but it is not necessary to be grateful to Dade, and maybe they will scold us Datang people behind their backs for being stupid and easy to cheat.Isn't it, such a good business, I would do it if I were me. I don't have to do anything for a year, and I pay more pilgrimages. There is a steady stream of good things, but I don't have to worry about getting rich. "

Li Er glared at his younger brother and reprimanded: "You can't talk nonsense, the diplomatic relations between the two countries, you are a prince, you keep your promises, pay attention to etiquette."

Li Yuanying insisted: "I'm telling the truth, and I seriously doubt that so many countries have come to worship, did they make an appointment secretly? I don't think so, the southeast and the north are thousands of miles apart, and communication is inconvenient. Maybe it's not a serious mission." They are not ministers, but some businessmen from other countries pretend to use tiger skins as banners, and come to our Datang to cheat property."

you……

Li Er was quite choked, but when he thought about it carefully, his younger brother was miraculous, he never talked nonsense, and he would never make jokes about state affairs, could it be true?
After figuring this out, Li Er changed his mood, and asked patiently: "Then according to Fifth Brother, how should we deal with the issue of diplomatic relations around us?"

Li Yuanying stretched out a finger, and said with a proud face: "Just one word, the inner sage and the outer king, if you don't accept it, beat it!"

... What, what kind of bad idea is this?Li Er was a little dissatisfied with this answer, and retorted: "Don't you hear that wars will surely lead to death? The former Sui Dynasty is a lesson from the past."

"Pre-Sui? Then why don't you count forward? What about the Great Qin, Han, Wu, Three Kingdoms and Jin? The nomads in the northern grasslands kept coming and going like mowing grass, which caused us endless troubles. Why? Li Er was speechless when Li Yuanying asked.

Following this topic, the two brothers had a thorough chat on the issue of foreign aggression at this wine table. After a family banquet, everyone else was drunk, but the more they chatted, the more vigorously they chatted. Li Er's eyes became brighter and brighter. There were more and more audiences around him, and in the end, everyone stopped drinking, and they all gathered around to quietly listen to the discussion between the two, or to say, listen to the lecture of Qin Wang Li Yuanying and discuss the Siyi issue.

Old Li Yuan looked at this scene, the more he watched, the more satisfied he was, and he thought that this little son was really a treasure, and his strategy was beyond the reach of ordinary people. With him around, why would Tang Dynasty not prosper?
"It's not good! Father, Uncle Fifth Emperor, go and have a look, sister Ping'an seems to be fighting with someone." Princess Runan ran over to report.

What?Li Yuanying stood up abruptly and ran back.

Li Er and the others were working hard, and they were really upset when they were suddenly interrupted. Why did something happen at this time?

The servant Lao Gao whispered: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, King Qin's plan tonight has been recorded by the slaves."

"Well, that's very good, fellow clansmen, let's continue to have a banquet, and we will discuss this matter at the court meeting at another time. I will go and see the children first."

"Go together..."

They all came here with their wives and children, and now there is a commotion among the children, who of you still wants to drink here?Let's go and have a look together, just make sure nothing happens.

In fact, there is still one thing in my heart that no one has said, that is, I hope my little boy does not participate in the fight. Whether it hurts Princess Ping An or is injured by Princess Ping An, it is not a good thing.
