Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

"Little sister just wants to be with the princess."

Su Xiaomei kept shaking her head and said out loud, with a hint of determination in her words.

As for the idea of ​​getting married, Su Xiaomei doesn't want to think about it now, especially looking at some messy pictures of farmhouses, she doesn't seem to be stepping into the footsteps.

And now I am living a good life, and I have no plans to marry.

Looking at Su Xiaomei's appearance, Li Xiuning felt the most helpless at this moment. It seemed that Su Xiaomei had no idea at all, but instead she was acting affectionate.

"So little sister, have you thought about the future?!"

Shu An's voice continued to sound. Although there were already several unmarried people around him, he still hoped that there would not be another one in front of him.

After all, in this era, it seems that words are indeed somewhat different. Of course, different words are not as important as life.

For example, if Lizhi and Ninglan talk, they are destined to be impossible to get married, but Su Xiaomei is really different in front of her.

"Little sister will only be by the princess's side for the rest of her life."

It's just that Li Xiuning was a little moved by Su Xiaomei's answer, but also a little helpless, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Shu An soon asked Su Xiaomei to leave. When she was in the academy, there were naturally guards from the Shu residence to guard her.

The guards of the Princess Mansion basically didn't have to follow Li Xiuning, and occasionally let the women soldiers rest for a while.

"Sometimes choice is a very important thing."

"Xiu Ning, why don't you go and find out, how about the women who married before?!"

Shu An couldn't help saying quietly, in fact not every marriage is happy.

Perhaps there is no such concept in this era, but it will be clear from later generations that there are quite a lot of divorced people.

Although there are such things as harmony and separation in this era, they are actually rarely used.

Of course, when he told Li Xiuning this, he just wanted to let Li Xiuning know some truths.

Although the Detachment of Women was married before, but to be honest, not everyone is happy, and some people even have a bad life.

It was just for Li Xiuning's previous money. Facing this, even Shu An didn't know what to say.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be in charge of these things, but he felt that it would be better for Li Xiuning to understand.

"Could it be that there are some unknown things in it?!"

Li Xiuning quickly fell silent and thought silently, after all, when Shu An mentioned it a little, she thought of something.

Chapter 781 Investigation, Private Banquet

Li Xiuning's actions are also very fast, or it is very simple to investigate the past Women's Army.

In the past, these women's soldiers all had their destinations. Basically, they lived in Daozhou near Chang'an.

However, if you want to collect every female army so quickly, it will not be so fast, it will also take some time.

Faced with this matter, Shu An did not intend to intervene, but instead let Li Xiuning find the answer by herself.

Sometimes it is easier to believe the answers you find out with your own hands.

"This year has passed without knowing it."

Shu An's eyes flickered and he whispered softly, to be honest, there are indeed more things this year than in previous years.

Now Xue Rengui and other troops are still attacking the Liao people in the southwest, and they have great plans to consume the Liao people.

Although Li Shimin also wanted to continue to send troops to the countries around the southwest immediately, the problem of the bureaucrats still had to be resolved first.

After all, a potential crisis cannot be ignored, especially Li Shimin has been very dissatisfied with the bureaucrats in the past two years.

Whether it was the previous grassland or Liaodong, Datang was on the side of the winner, and basically won a big victory.

Under such circumstances, Li Shimin naturally had a reason to be inflated, but what he didn't expect was that these bureaucrats gave Li Shimin a sober blow.

For various reasons, Li Shimin is bound to win these bureaucrats, and wants to take the entire Southwest.

No matter how many mountains and forests there are in the southwest, Li Shimin mobilized [-] troops to enter the southwest in addition to Xue Rengui's troops.

Not long ago, [-] recruits had been trained, and they had exchanged border troops with the grasslands and some directions in Liaodong.

And the frontier troops that were replaced were all put into the Southwest. Including the original garrison in the Southwest, it can be said that the entire Southwest has a full strength of nearly 30.

This number can be said to be very scary in this era. If it were Li Shimin before, he would have to think twice.

Unless it is a last resort, so many soldiers will not be summoned, but now Li Shimin is rich and powerful.

It can be said that it is not very difficult to raise the 30 army, and even Li Shimin considers continuing to train [-] recruits.

Even Shu An couldn't help sighing inwardly, compared with the Great Tang in history, the potential of the current Great Tang has increased too much in all aspects.

Li Shimin in history has never expanded his army, but only maintained the original soldiers. If there is a loss, then continue to make up.

All this is because they cannot afford to support them, because there are too many places where the Great Tang has to be stationed, even if there is only a small number of troops in one place, and the scope covers the entire Great Tang, then the number is terrible.

So there is a big difference between Li Shimin's big money and history, but so many troops have been invested in the Southwest.

Obviously, it also proved Li Shimin's determination to solve this matter once and for all.

It can be said that many of the Liao people who attacked before were wiped out by Xue Rengui, but this was just the beginning.

Some bureaucrats still couldn't bear the pressure of these many soldiers and chose to surrender.

And with these bureaucrats surrendering, the strategy for the Southwest will be faster.

It is said that half of the Liao people in the Southwest have been dealt with now. As long as next year is over, the entire Liao people in the Southwest may be taken down.

Of course, Li Shimin and others also went through a lot of discussions about the disposal of Liao people.

Shu An heard that these Liao people were finally accommodated, mainly because the number of Liao people was not small.

However, it is said that the Liao people were separated according to households and mixed with the original Tang people.

This is to avoid the gathering of these bureaucrats, so it would be bad if there are some accidents.

As long as these Liao people can live like Tang people, people's hearts will gradually stabilize.

Obviously Li Shimin and the others didn't think about it, even if they had the knowledge of future generations, Shu An did not underestimate Li Shimin and the others.

If it were him, he couldn't handle it better than Li Shimin.

"Master, Empress Mingye wants to entertain you!"

At some point, Wu Shun's figure appeared next to Shu An and said aloud.

"Banquet?!"

Shu An was slightly taken aback, as if he hadn't thought that Wugou would invite him at this moment.

Generally speaking, if it was a normal palace banquet, Shu An would ignore it.

In other words, Shu An had no intention of going there, and Li Shimin must have known about it.

But if it's his daughter's banquet, then it should be a private banquet, and there are still very few people who know about private banquets.

But there should be Li Shimin's participation in it, if not, he wouldn't believe it.

"Well, send someone to send a letter, and I will go to the appointment!"

After thinking about it for a while, Shu An said aloud that he hadn't seen Wugou for a while, so he might as well go and have a look.

In addition, let's see what the emperor is thinking in his heart. After all, there seems to be nothing wrong now.

This emperor shouldn't have something to look for him, but no matter what, he will find out tomorrow anyway.

......

In the court, in fact, the banquet was the idea of ​​Li Shimin and his wife.

It was originally said that Li Shimin really wanted to find this sub-father. As for the empress Changsun, he just heard what he said, and then it turned into a banquet.

After all, the number of times she can see Yafu is not many, and Empress Changsun naturally wants to put this matter in the court.

But I also knew that if His Majesty invited him, Yafu probably wouldn't come, so he used his own name.

"Did Yafu agree?!"

After seeing the messenger come back, Empress Changsun was the first to ask.

Li Shimin on the side was also looking forward to it. In fact, he was still relatively unsure in his heart.

The reason is very simple, even he can't figure out Yafu's thoughts, he may or may not be invited.

Even with the bonus of Guanyin's maidservant, Li Shimin remembered that he was also invited by Guanyin's maidservant a few times before.

But Yafu didn't come, so Li Shimin still hesitated about this matter.

"Empress, Duke An Xuan has been invited!"

The maid below said immediately!

For a moment, Empress Changsun and Li Shimin couldn't help showing a smile on their faces.

Of course, there is still a difference in the smiles of the two. For example, the eldest grandson queen is because she can see her own father.

As for Li Shimin, it was because he could finally finish his own business.

"By the way, call Xiuning along."

Empress Changsun's voice continued to sound, apparently planning to have a family banquet.

"it is good!"

Naturally, Li Shimin would not have any objections to this point, after all, it was hard to say anything about this younger sister.

Fortunately, this younger sister's relationship with Guanyin's servant is not so rigid, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

Chapter 782 Incompetent Fury, Reminiscing about the Past

palace

For this private banquet, preparations were made early.

Of course, this is mainly the order of the emperor and the empress. After all, these imperial chefs are more comprehensive than the chefs in the Shu Mansion.

After learning the culinary skills of Shufu, many royal chefs have gained some experience of their own after a few years.

In terms of cooking skills, there is no need for the chefs in Shu Mansion to be inferior. After all, there were still many gaps in the beginning.

After all, the chef of the Shu family has at least ten years of experience, but now the imperial chef has ten years of experience, while the chef of the Shu family has 20 years of experience.

Then the gap has narrowed a lot, and being able to enter the court as an imperial cook is definitely not bad.

Before the Shu Mansion's food came out, these imperial chefs represented the highest level. It would be impossible to say that these people had no talent.

"You must be more careful than usual in what you say tonight!"

In the imperial dining room, Wang De personally supervised it, knowing that this private banquet was not easy.

Not to mention that His Majesty had secretly confessed before, that is to make up some tricks.

The requirements for this are not low. After all, the banquet is for An Xuangong, and he must have eaten a lot of delicious food before.

Therefore, it is not easy to satisfy His Majesty's request, and of course Wang De knows the truth.

His Majesty wants to let the food in the court overwhelm the Shu Mansion, after all, there are some rumors that are not very good.

For example, the food in the palace is not as good as heaven and earth, let alone Shu Mansion.

It can be said that this matter made His Majesty feel a little uncomfortable in his heart. The emperor is born to be a domineering creature.

No matter what is in the palace, it is naturally the best thing in the world, but even so, this emperor cannot disobey his will.

I also thought about poaching corners before, but the sorry cooks didn't have any idea at all, even if it was Li Shimin's price.

But also because of this incident, Li Shimin sighed that there are not many people who can be so loyal.

Even though they are people who have been personally trained, in the face of many interests, no one can guarantee that they will continue to be loyal.

Shu An didn't know how much Li Shimin had put into this private banquet.

Even Shu An didn't know that in order to move back to the game in terms of food, Li Shimin deliberately asked people to start preparations half a day earlier.

In the early years, because Li Zhi and others ran to Shu Mansion because of food, Li Shimin felt a kind of silent anger.

In other words, he was incompetent and furious, after all, who made the court have no such food.
