Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

The Sogdian envoy smiled brightly: "Okay, no problem. His Royal Highness is tired from the long journey, so the envoy will leave without further interruption."

After saying that, he followed the etiquette of his own country and the Tang Dynasty, and then slowly retreated towards the door of Ganlu Hall.

Mihir's envoys don't have that much professionalism, so they might as well just follow the Sogdian envoys' example. There's nothing wrong with following the same example.

Li Chengqian walked up to Li Shimin and Yuchi Baoqi: "Father, Xiaobao, and sister, I almost forgot that there is also little Canglan."

Yuchi Canglan, who was in Yuchi Baoqi's arms, pouted with an unconvinced look on his face. Yuchi Baoqi patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder: "How do you feel about being in prison for more than half a month?"

Li Chengqian breathed a long sigh of relief: "There are so many things to do every day. I heard from my father's servants that there were not so many things to deal with in the past. Who knew that as soon as you left, all kinds of things would come one after another."

Seeing that the three of them were about to discuss state affairs, Li Lizhi thought very wisely and wanted to take her son out of Yuchi Baoqi's arms. Unexpectedly, Yuchi Canglan held her father's clothes tightly with both hands and refused to leave.

"You go find your mother and have a chat to relieve your boredom. I'll take Canglan with me."

Li Lizhi put a small bag in her hand on the coffee table, winked at Yuchi Canglan a few times, and left the Ganlu Hall.

"Pork baby, your mother is going to give you bamboo shoots and meat tonight."

Li Chengqian leaned on the sofa and felt completely relieved. His father was back and so was Xiaobao. He could finally take a break.

"Ever since my father and Xiaobao left Chang'an, the small foreign countries in Central Asia and Eurasia began to send envoys to Chang'an City. They came one after another. Even the Xintang Agricultural Autonomous Region on the other side of the ocean also sent envoys. The local natives come.”

"Honglu Temple can't accommodate us, so in the end we have to find a hotel that can accommodate us. Fortunately, the Baoli Hotel hasn't been demolished yet, otherwise I might not be able to cope with it."

"Laos and the surrounding small countries submitted their credentials and wanted to be incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty and become a province of the Tang Dynasty. I have temporarily withheld them."

When Li Shimin heard that the territory was about to be expanded, he felt a little dizzy. However, he thought that Li Chengqian was doing a good job in supervising the state and he would be able to retire in a few years, and he felt much better.

Yuchi Baoqi thought for a while: "I'll hold it for now. Tell them that this matter needs time to consider. It's impossible for anyone to merge with the Tang Dynasty just because they want to. There is no precedent for this."

Li Chengqian nodded and suddenly realized, why is Xiaobao telling me this? I am just the prince in charge of the country. My father is back, can't I go out in style?

Yuchi Baoqi saw Li Chengqian's appearance: "You don't think you won't have to supervise the country after we come back, do you?"

Li Shimin laughed out loud. Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin, but Li Shimin actually dodged a little.

Wang De got the list of envoys from various countries. After checking the map, Yuchi Baoqi found that basically all of them had arrived, even Justinian was among them, and several small Nordic countries were also among them.

Li Shimin came over and said, "Where are there so many small countries in the world?"

Yuchi Baoqi's voice was calm and steady: "Some of them are not small countries, and their land area is okay, but the problem is that they are not so suitable for life."

"Now that it's late September, there are still more than three months before your birthday, my father. Why don't you use your birthday to hold a military parade to show off the military power of the Tang Dynasty?"

When Li Shimin heard about the military parade, he said, "Didn't we just have a parade not long ago? I've seen all the new weapons. What's there to read?"

Yuchi Baoqi pursed his lips: "It's hard to tell. To be honest, now that the entire engineering department has been separated from the civilian branch, the development speed of weapons and equipment will exceed everyone's imagination."

"And the issue of disarmament and restructuring mentioned before has been solved by the way. We can still see the police formation in the military parade. Not to mention how handsome it is."

Li Shimin's first priority is to ask for advice, and his second priority is to pretend if there is competition. It is absolutely impossible not to pretend.

"Sure! Let's read it then! Let these small foreign countries see the military power of our Tang Dynasty! They will stop questioning this and that all day long."

Li Chengqian saw that the opportunity was good, so he simply brought up the most troublesome thing: "Xiaobao, the notice of disarmament and restructuring you mentioned before has been sent out, and there have been a lot of bad... uh bad things said by the army officers. ”

Yuchi Baoqi and Li Shimin looked at each other and signaled to Li Chengqian to just say it. Li Chengqian swallowed his saliva and plucked up the courage to speak.

"A sergeant said that with the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty and the might of the mighty army of heaven, all the small foreign countries in the world can no longer compete with the Tang Dynasty. It is time to kill the donkey."

Li Shimin suddenly felt bad when he heard this. This was what he was most worried about when Yuchi Baoqi said that he would dismantle the army and transform it into police.

Yuchi Baoqi closed his eyes and rested: "In this way, I will meet with the generals tomorrow. Anyway, we have to discuss the previous military region planning matters. After my secret weapon is built in the engineering department, there will be much less noise like grinding mills and killing donkeys. ”

Li Shimin patted Yuchi Baoqi's thigh: "That's very good. Do you want me to go with you?"

Yuchi Baoqi waved his hand: "No, just have a good rest and get ready for the coming of all nations and the military parade. You should go to Grandpa Huang's place more often. Grandpa Huang is getting older."

Li Shimin raised his eyes slightly, and understood Yuchi Baoqi's meaning almost instantly: "Then please take the trouble, Gao Ming has your help, I feel very at ease."

Yuchi Baoqi got up from the sofa: "You two, father and son, haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's talk more. I went to the Lizheng Palace to find my mother and Li Zhi."

Wang De followed Yuchi Baoqi and sent him out of the Manna Palace. Li Shimin in the Manna Palace began to teach Li Chengqian the way to be an emperor by words and deeds.

Arriving outside the Lizheng Hall, Yuchi Baoqi protected Yuchi Canglan in his arms and rushed into the Lizheng Hall: "Queen Mother! I'm here!"

Yuchi Baoqi was like a kangaroo. Li Lizhi helped Empress Changsun walk out of the Zhengzheng Hall. Empress Changsun smiled and said: "Hey, whose sweetheart is this?"

Yuchi Canglan poked his head out of his clothes: "Daddy, daddy!"

Yuchi Baoqi rubbed his son's little head: "You know how to call daddy, and whoever you call daddy?"

Li Lizhi put her hands on her hips and looked like she was about to get angry: "Don't tell me, except for calling me and your daddy, my son has never called anyone else daddy."

Yuchi Baoqi was stunned: "What do you call others?"

Yuchi Canglan hugged the neck of his imperial grandmother, the eldest grandson of the empress, and pressed her whole body against the eldest grandson's chest, shouting in a sweet voice: "niania~"

Li Lizhi pointed: "Well, the maids who call me also call me the same way, they call me the queen the same way, and they call me the mother the same way."

Yuchi Baoqi suddenly reacted: "Hey, why didn't I come with you to pick me up? After all, I still don't love you anymore!"
