Li Yuan talked about business with several veterans of martial arts.

It was also the eleventh month of the first year of Zhenguan, and the process of reducing titles and fiefdoms was already halfway through.

Nowadays, only these old ministers of military virtue are left who have not been cut down.

This is because Li Shimin did not want to displease Li Yuan and was hesitant.

When Li Shimin first came to the throne, the political situation was turbulent. In order to stabilize people's hearts, he first rewarded the veteran military officials and the feudal officials who were ready to make moves, and then his old officials in Tiance Mansion.

Now that the imperial court is stable, but the treasury is empty, for the sake of people's livelihood, it is natural to do everything possible to tilt resources towards the people.

Li Yuan sighed: "Today's power and wealth have reached its peak. No matter how hard you hold on, you will only be stubbornly resisting. If you don't take the initiative to request a reduction in titles and land, you can still leave a way for future generations."

Pei Ji was the head of the old ministers of Wude. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was awarded a reward. He took the lead with [-] households.

Even Yuchi Jingde, the great hero who saved Li Shimin's life during the Xuanwumen mutiny, was granted only [-] households.

When Yuan Yuan saw everyone looking at Pei Ji, she also looked over while eating the cake.

Before Pei Ji could speak, a piece of dragon and phoenix cake was stuffed into his hand, which was sticky and greasy.

The little boy raised his chin at him, gesturing for him to speak.

But he crossed his legs and ate until his mouth was full of dregs.

Pei Ji was really speechless and wanted to laugh.

Thinking about the current unfavorable situation, he sighed helplessly.

"That's all, I'll ask for the order tomorrow."

After all, Li Shimin was not a soft-hearted person, and now he clearly felt that the emperor was slowly neglecting them, veterans of martial arts.

He was also worried, fearing that one day he would be the target of a murder for some unfounded crime.

Yuan Yuan swallowed the cake in his mouth and nodded seriously: "Yeah, yeah, then please hurry up and request the order."

Li Yuan took the wet handkerchief from Li Yu's hand and wiped the little boy's face and hands.

"You kid, can you understand?"

Yuan Yuan felt a little guilty, so she just ate.

Several old people laughed.

After laughing, he started to sigh again.

The greater the power, the harder it is to walk on thin ice, and it will be a disaster if you are not careful.

Feng Deyi replenished tea for several people and said calmly: "When I first resigned from office, I was also in a difficult mood and didn't know what to do every day."

"Later, I personally escorted the grain truck to Laizhou to collect grain for the victims. The people cried bitterly and kowtowed to me to thank me, saying that I was their great benefactor."

"The common people are saying that the imperial court has not given up on them, and the founding of the Tang Dynasty is a blessing to all people."

"When we first became officials, weren't we just for the sake of peace in the world and for the people to be worry-free? But as time went by, all we could think about was fighting for power, family honor and disgrace, and we lost our true heart..."

"Now that Your Majesty wants to purge the officialdom, let him have a try. If you and I stop him, wouldn't we be working against all the people in the world?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a red gummy was stuffed into his palm.

The little boy raised his chin at him, signaling him to eat quickly.

The old man smiled and took the candy into his mouth.

The conversation in Xianchi Palace soon reached Li Shimin's ears.

The night before, Li Shimin went to Xianchi Palace and had a long talk with Li Yuan.

If possible, he actually didn't want to embarrass the veteran Wude.

He hoped that people could remember the reign name Wude and Li Yuan, the founding emperor.

The Sui Dynasty was indeed a unified dynasty. However, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the country was divided and the country was divided. The path to the founding of the Tang Dynasty was to put the broken rivers and mountains back together piece by piece.

It's very difficult and painful. Now that the world is stable, Li Yuan is indispensable.

Li Shimin quickly summoned Changsun Wuji, Fang, Du and others to discuss the matter together.

After Yuan Yuanzai'er attended family and state affairs in Xianchi Palace, he had a pleasant lunch and slept again.

After thinking about it, I ran to the East Palace to give guidance on my work.

In the East Palace, the prince was listening to Wei Zheng's political speech.

Li Chengqian has been severely punished by his old father recently. He is called to give extra lectures every night, and he barely gets a good night's sleep.

At this moment, his ears were listening to Wei Zheng's words, but his mind was a little empty.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound outside.

Li Chengqian and Wei Zheng looked at each other, stood up and walked out together.

In the garden outside the palace, Yuan Yuan was holding a chicken, with several servants standing beside him.

On the ground were two broken flower pots. Judging from the remains, they should be rare varieties paid tribute by the Eastern Capital.

I keep them in the hot spring room on weekdays, and take them out to bask in the sun when the sun is nice.

When Yuan Yuan saw Li Chengqian, he threw the golden pheasant in his arms to the ground, then pointed at it and said loudly: "It's thirteen cents that have wiped out the prince's brother's flowers!!!"

Wei Zheng smoothed his beard, glanced at the prince, and said calmly: "Very good. From now on, His Highness the prince can go to school with peace of mind and will no longer lose his mind by playing with things."

Li Chengqian couldn't laugh or cry.

He walked over and touched the little kid's head: "It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal."

Yuan Yuan quickly picked up the golden pheasant, which was so shattered that it had stars in its eyes, to prevent it from running away.

She said excitedly: "I have already agreed with my sister that I will eat O'Langliang roast chicken here!"

"Uncle Rokuro and Brother Qingque, they all need to eat!"

The prince pinched her face and laughed.

Wei Zheng stood aside and was about to persuade the prince again. Suddenly, the little boy looked towards him.

Wei Hao Aweng sighed in his heart.

That's all, roasting a chicken won't waste much time.

Before he could agree, Yuan Yuan said with a mysterious face: "Wei Aweng, Pei Kongkong said, your notebook has big holes!!!"

Wei Zheng: "..."

Pei Kongkong...is it Pei Sikong?

The notebook... the memorial? ?

The big hole...could it be a loophole? ? ?

Is there any loophole in the memorial he submitted to His Majesty today? ? ?

Impossible, absolutely impossible! ! !

Wei Zheng flicked his sleeves and left anxiously.

The prince was simply amazed.

This little guy is really the nemesis of middle-aged and elderly officials!

The young gentlemen of Hongwen Hall gathered together and had a small dinner together in the East Palace, roasting a golden pheasant, a leg of lamb, and some milk tea and fruit drinks.

Li Tai watched Yuan Qing smearing sauce on the roast chicken and asked curiously: "What's so great about this roast? Why is it called Orleans' secret sauce?"

Yuan Qing: "...well, it's a prescription I saw in ancient books."

In fact, her poor brain couldn't think of an alternative name.

Li Tai nodded: "There are all kinds of wonders in the world. I have never heard of anyone named Ao. He should be from Fanbang."

Yuan Yuan and King Zhao played together and climbed a tree for a while, then ran over with a smile and said, "Sister, are my legs okay?"

Yuan Qing turned the chicken over and said funnyly: "Then stretch your short legs over and I'll grill them for you."

Yuan Yuan looked shocked: "Sister, I'm lying. As I said, my round legs are really long. They are longer than Baibai, Sanhuang and Ermao!"

She spread her arms and showed the extreme length: "So, so long!"

Li Tai stood up, lifted the hem of the prince's robe, and exposed his legs.

He said sincerely: "Yes, you have the longest legs."

Yuan Yuan looked at his legs, then at her own legs, pouted and stopped talking.
