Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Cheng Chumo thought it would be better not to be conciliatory at the royal gathering, so he went with Wang De to Zhongshu Province to deliver the appointment documents. Yuchi Baoqi knew what Cheng Chumo wanted and did not keep him.

Li Shimin, Li Tai, and Yuchi Baoqi came to the Li Zheng Hall and saw Li Chengqian, Li Lizhi and Empress Changsun sitting at the table waiting. The table was full of exquisite food.

Queen Changsun didn't react when she saw Li Tai. After rubbing her eyes, she confirmed that she had seen it correctly. Her heartache burst out and she rushed towards her youngest son Li Tai.

It was also difficult for Li Lizhi to accept how much suffering her fat and white brother had to endure to become the black charcoal he was now, so she pounced on him.

"Mother, sister. Why are you crying? Brother, long time no see." Li Tai had two clothes on his body, and he could still wave and say hello to Li Chengqian. He was really strong.

Seeing Li Tai's big change, Li Chengqian was filled with emotion. He walked over and tiptoed and finally touched Li Tai's head.

"Qingque'er has grown up, and the emperor has to stand on tiptoe to touch his head." Li Chengqian also had tears in his eyes.

Li Shimin looked at this reunion scene and wondered how long it would last. He coughed twice and asked everyone to take their seats before talking.

"I was shocked when I saw Qingque for the first time today at the Manlu Hall. I used to be fair and chubby, but why did I get so tanned? I must have something to do with you, a brat like you. How about I punish you with a drink?" Li Shimin said. Then he filled Yuchi Baoqi's cup with high-strength liquor.

Yuchi Baoqi picked up the wine glass and drank it in big gulps. Eighty percent of the wine flowed down his chin and into his clothes. Then he wiped it hard: "Haha, this wine is really strong."

Li Tai raised his glass and pointed it at Li Chengqian: "Brother Emperor, my younger brother was not sensible before and fought fiercely with you for your favor. Here is a toast to Brother Emperor, and Brother Emperor will be more considerate of you." He finished the drink in one gulp.

Li Chengqian also quickly picked up the wine glass: "Brother, there is no need to blame yourself. Brother Huang doesn't know how to treat brothers and sisters when he fights with you. He deserves a slap." He said and gave himself a slap.

Li Tai patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder: "This time I am going to Tubo to plant crops. It will take at least a year and a half, and as long as three to five years. I will not be in Chang'an, so I will trouble my brother and sister to take care of my father. With my mother."

After hearing this, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun stared at Yuchi Baoqi: "You kid, it was you who did it again, right? Qingque hasn't been to the palace for a year, so it's fine. He's still staying in Chang'an. What's wrong with you this time?" Do you want him to go to Tibet?"

Yuchi Baoqi sighed and pointed to the food on the table: "These dishes can now appear on people's tables. Although they are not as large and exquisite, people can indeed eat more green vegetables. . Li Tai and his master are indispensable. This time Li Tai went to Tubo to let more people eat and eat delicious crops."

Li Tai filled Yuchi Baoqi's glass with wine and poured another glass for himself.

"Without my brother-in-law, I, Li Tai, would not be able to find what I want to do in my life, and I would not be able to see the suffering in the world. I would not be able to figure out so many things at this age. Father and mother, Tai has found what he wants to do in this life. I will die with no regrets." After Li Tai finished speaking, he raised his head and finished the glass of wine.

"I just gave you a platform. The achievements you make are yours alone." Yuchi Baoqi also became bored along with him, not missing a drop this time.

The originally joyful and warm dinner suddenly turned into silence. Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were both reluctant to give up, and Li Lizhi even shed tears.

Li Shimin drank a drink alone, and then choked and said: "Good boy, my father supports you. You have found the meaning of your life, how can I stop you? It's just that you haven't seen me for a year, and as soon as you come back, you say you want it again. Heading to Tubo, I..."

Li Chengqian suddenly slapped the table and raised his wine glass: "Father, do you still remember? Xiaobao said that he would take me with him to develop Lingnan. Now that Qingque has found his goal, I, the eldest brother, can't be left behind! The meal you take advantage of today will be my farewell drink later on!"

Empress Changsun finally couldn't hold back her tears: "My two children have grown up and will leave me as their mother. Li Zhi will get married soon. Your Majesty, we are really old."

Li Shimin also had mixed feelings: "Yes, I am getting old."

After listening to Empress Changsun's words, Li Lizhi got into her arms and comforted her, saying, "Mother, I haven't been married very far, so I come back from time to time. Why, could it be that I can't return to this house after I get married?"

The sudden act of coquettishness alleviated the sadness a lot, and Li Shimin glared sideways.

"What? The married daughter threw water away. Why did she come back when she had nothing to do?"

Empress Changsun rolled her eyes and said, "She is also my daughter when she gets married. Why can't she come back? It's because of you that all the sons want to run away."

When Yuchi Baoqi saw Empress Changsun and Lao Li Tou having an unusual quarrel, he immediately took out a handful of melon seeds from somewhere and was just about to watch a show.

"Who said it was me who did it? It was this brat who did it. My daughter wants to marry him, my eldest son wants to go to Lingnan with him to do some development, and my younger son listens to him and wants to go to Tubo to do some cultivation." Li Shimin stood up and pointed. Yuchi Baoqi started to spray.

After hearing this, Queen Changsun also thought carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case.

"Old Li Tou will not do this to you! I gave you my life, and you still want me to take the blame?" Yuchi Baoqi slapped the melon seeds on the table and stood up.

Li Tai stood up and pressed the two of them on the stool. His hand was so strong that the two of them had no room to resist.

"Let's eat. Such a good dish won't be served cold anymore. I'm happy to have found my goal in life, and there's nothing to argue about. It wouldn't be good if I argued just after I came back." Li Tai said and poured cups for Li Shimin and Yuchi Baoqi respectively. Had a glass of wine.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Li Lizhi put down her chopsticks and asked tentatively: "When are you leaving? You have to eat the wedding wine from the emperor's sister before leaving, right?"

Li Tai sat down and took a chopstick of vegetables and stuffed it into his mouth: "Sister Huang, it's really not that my brother doesn't want to eat your wedding wine. The illustrations brought back by my brother-in-law include highland barley, buckwheat, grapes, cold melon, gray dates, apricots, and That cotton, I wish I could start my research and planting in Tubo now! Every crop is of great use to the development of our Tang Dynasty, I can't wait a day longer." Li Tai's eyes bulged when he spoke With incomparable energy, he showed his longing and desire for the unknown crops of Tibet.

Yuchi Baoqi almost choked himself to death with a sip of wine: "Ahem, cough, cough, what's wrong with you, are you going tomorrow?"

Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Li Tai put the remaining food into his own bowl: "Well, I will go tomorrow. I will go back to Zhuangzi to sleep today. Father, Queen and mother, please don't persuade me. I have to go and talk to Master. individual."

Queen Changsun and Li Shimin watched with sadness as Li Tai finished all the meals. Li Shimin was about to say something, but Li Tai reached out to stop him.

"My parents are here. If you don't travel far away, you must have a good idea. I am going here to put food on the table for the people of the Tang Dynasty. I also hope that my father, the emperor, and my mother will be happy. I will leave!" After saying these words, Li Tai stood up and took two steps back. He knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Li Shimin and Queen Changsun.

"Brother and sister, my father, the queen, and my mother will be left to you." After taking care of Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi again, Li Tai got up and turned around and left directly.

Li Tai shed tears as he walked. He raised his hand and wiped his tears with his sleeve, then turned back and shouted to the table: "This year! The oranges in Chang'an are particularly delicious. You must remember to eat them!"
