Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

After Li Kuan finished his disaster relief speech, Niu Jinda turned his attention to Li Er, who had a gloomy expression, and said nothing.

It wasn't that Li Kuan's heartfelt words were not sincere. In fact, at this time, Niu Jinda's heart had actually changed a lot about Li Kuan, the second prince who "relyed on the emperor's favor and always behaved freely and freely."

But the objective facts are before our eyes. The locust plague is a natural disaster that cannot be resisted by humans.

It's not something that can be easily resolved with just a few rhetorical words.

"Kuan'er..." Li Er, who decided not to care about certain details, once again turned his attention to his own... Ruhu, his eyes were a little more pleased: "If you can have this kind of heart, I will be very happy to be a father. But you are still young, and these things are not something you should consider yet..." When Li Er said this, his tone paused for a moment, and then he continued with a gentle attitude: "You will go back to Ganlu Hall in a while, and take it with you. Wake up, Qingque Changle, and go to the Imperial Garden to play with my koi. Remember, what you heard before, just treat it as if nothing happened and don’t tell anyone about it, you know?”

After Li Er finished speaking, he glanced at the other ministers present: "Let's put other things aside for now. The next thing we have to do is to comprehensively respond to the upcoming locust plague. Wuji, I plan to I will send you to Shandong to raise food for me."

"Wei!" Changsun Wuji looked solemn and bowed to Li Er. Then he straightened up and began to think secretly about how to plan this trip to Shandong.

After all, the dissatisfaction of the nobles in Shandong with Chang'an was almost obvious.

Asking them to raise food is bound to be a hard job.

But Li Er didn't care about this. Since he had given the task to Changsun Wuji, he gave him full respect and trust. He believed that no matter how difficult the process was, Changsun Wuji would get the matter done.

"Xuanling, Keming," Li Er said after Changsun Wuji bowed down to accept the order, he turned to discuss with the two of them on how to persuade the people to harvest crops.

The situation is not optimistic. The wheat in the fields is still filling. How can the people be willing to cut it off at this time?

Even if the local magistrate goes to the field to persuade him in person, there is a high probability that the local respected elders will spit on him: Those who ruin the crops will be punished by God! You said that when the locust plague comes, it will definitely come? What? Is there already a locust plague in some places? But hasn’t he come to our land yet?

The reality is cruel. God has always treated all creatures on earth equally. It will never show mercy and cause less disasters just because humans claim to be the primates of all things.

Li Er and others can almost predict that there will be many old men like this.

However, when the locust plague comes, they will regret it in despair.

''

In fact, because of such extreme emotions, many people may choose to commit suicide.

Everyone's mood became heavier and heavier.

When Li Kuan saw this, he sighed and walked out of the hall silently.

He knew that staying on his own would not help matters.

However, since my father and several ministers and uncles don’t believe it, then I will show it to them myself!

-------------------------------------

Half an hour later, Manna Hall.

"Mother, my son and I have a favor to ask for." Li Kuan sat in front of Queen Changsun with a serious look on his face.

"Oh? Kuan'er, what are you asking for? But it doesn't matter." Faced with her son's sudden seriousness, Empress Changsun said with a hint of smile in her voice.

"My son wants to borrow a sum of money from his mother." Li Kuan emphasized the word "borrow" with great emphasis.

"Hmm...how much do you want?" Empress Changsun pursed her lips, thinking that it would be better not to preach to her son first and see what he wanted to do.

"One hundred coins." Li Kuan stretched out a finger.

"Purpose?" Empress Changsun slowly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"Bribery." Li Kuan looked at Changsun with a mysterious face.

"Who are you bribing?" Queen Changsun raised her eyebrows lightly, always feeling that her son was waiting for her somewhere.

"Grandfather." Li Kuan blinked and tried to act innocent.

"Huh?" The eldest grandson, who probably guessed what the other party was going to do next, was successfully amused by the other party: "Then what?"

"Then take advantage of the fact that my grandfather is happy and borrow ten thousand gu from him." Li Kuan suddenly waved his arm as he spoke, showing full confidence and a sense of pride that he was about to give it a try: "I want to achieve great things in the future." , give it to the old man, and earn a mountain of gold and silver by the way..."

"..." The eldest grandson no longer knew why this silly son in front of him looked smart but was actually naive.

It's not that his method doesn't work, but that as a prince, this kid really understands what it means to be human and worldly.

Naturally, Li Yuan would not let go of his grandson's money bag just because of a mere hundred thousand dollars.

But as long as Li Kuan opened his mouth, Li Yuan had no reason not to allow it.

Of course, in addition to Li Yuan's great love for Li Kuan, his grandson, there may not be any meaning of "love the house and the bird".

After all, the golden hairpin that Li Kuan used to force Li Chengzong and others back was one of the tokens of love between Empress Taimu and Li Yuan. It was also the last direct descendant of Empress Taimu as a branch of the Dou family, a thousand-year-old wealthy family. Bloodline, some kind of token left behind.

So no matter what, as long as Li Yuan considers the meaning of that golden hairpin, I'm afraid he will relent.

In fact, among Li Er's team, Dou Shilun, who is less famous than others now, but has followed Li Er since he was the king of Qin, is one of the "legacies" left to her grandson by Empress Taimu. .

Now the "little family fortune" left by Queen Taimu is in charge of this person. When Li Kuan comes of age in the future, Dou Shilun, who was cultivated by Queen Taimu, will return it all to Li Kuan. …

In the palace, Queen Changsun's thoughts were so far away that Li Kuan, who noticed something was wrong, stepped forward, held her arm and shook her for a long time before she came back to her senses.

"Mom, what do you think?" Li Kuan looked at his eldest grandson with expectant eyes.

"Not at all." The eldest grandson glanced at his proud son: "If your father knew about your plan, he would probably beat you until you couldn't get out of bed all night long."

"Am I afraid of him?" Li Kuan said with a frown on his neck, and then the expression on his face became sad and angry: "You don't even ask me what I plan to do, do you know that I am fooling around?"

After saying that, Li Song opened his hands, pursed his lips, folded his hands around his chest, and sat cross-legged on the floor, with all kinds of dissatisfaction evident all over his body.

The eldest grandson looked at his son who was starting to lose his temper and shook his head helplessly: "Kuan'er, mother knows that you want to help your father solve the locust plague. It's good that you have this intention, but you are still young after all. , this kind of thing shouldn't be something you, a kid, should have to worry about..."

Li Kuan looked at his eldest grandson blankly. He felt that at this moment, he had a sense of absurdity: "The son is about to do something big, why does the mother surrender first?"

Ugh……

Are all adults so boring?

Li Kuan held up his chin with both hands. This habitual movement meant that he had begun to empty his mind. He would only wait for a while for his mother to finish nagging, then stand up and leave the place of trouble.

But Li Kuan obviously underestimated Changsun's patience as a mother in teaching her son. When it was getting dark outside, the palace people who entered the palace quietly lit candles. Even at first, they were waiting for their younger brothers and sisters outside the palace. When they returned from the imperial garden with small fishing rods, Queen Changsun's admonishment was still unfinished.

"Mom, I'm hungry." Princess Changle, who really couldn't bear to see her second brother "suffering", looked at each other with her fourth brother Li Tai. They entered the palace together and said in unison to Queen Changsun.

Only then did Queen Changsun notice that it was already time for dinner.

Glancing at her daughter who made herself look like a little cat, the eldest grandson's gaze then swept over her younger son who was torturing herself like a little wild boar. The eldest grandson sighed helplessly. She stretched out her hand and rubbed Li Kuan's little son. Head: "Okay, okay, don't be depressed. Mother agreed to the money matter, but you can't go to your imperial grandfather again."

"Huh?" Li Kuan slowly raised his head and looked at his mother: "Mom, why did you suddenly agree again?"

This is really a situation where there is no way to resolve doubts, but there is another village with dark flowers and bright flowers!

"Since you have your heart, then Mother will let you go and do it." With a gentle smile on his face, Changsun took his hand away from his son's head, and straightened the messy clothes on his son's chest, and then patted He patted the other person's face and said, "After all, as a mother, you always hope that your son can do something good."

Even if everything you're doing right now seems like nonsense.

But as a mother, her desire to see her son succeed does not need to be justified by any secular prejudice.

So even if you are messing around, Mom will accompany you.
