Royal Garden.
Remember that the weather in early spring is getting warmer, the grass is sprouting, the twigs are sprouting leaves, and the early spring flowers have begun to bloom.
The wind was beautiful and the sun was shining brightly.
Li Shimin held a banquet and invited Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, to drink tea here.
The person making tea on the side was Xu Hui, who had just entered the palace.
She was sitting cross-legged in a gorgeous palace dress.
She first carefully baked the tea cakes, then crushed them and rolled them.
When the water reaches a boil, add crushed tea leaves, onion, ginger, salt, orange peel, and mint to make tea soup.
Xu Hui worked meticulously, carefully and cautiously, for fear that Li Shimin would be dissatisfied.
"The tea is good, but it lacks a touch of flavor."
Jiangxia King Li Daozong sniffed it first, and then took a small sip.
In previous years, the eldest grandson would be making tea, and sometimes adding some butter to it, but now the eldest grandson is still at Yuzhang's house.
"Brother, I'm having trouble with the queen."
Li Daozong said with a smile, and only the two people in front of him dared to say this: "Actually, the eldest grandson is still a woman after all, and she can be coaxed a little more."
"Hey, you also know that Yuzhang would do something like that and embarrass the royal family.
I don't know what the people in the world will think of our royal family."
Li Shimin sighed, they were all members of his own family, without the usual seriousness in the court, he said helplessly.
Li Xiaogong also took a sip of the tea soup: "Actually, Wang Zhi is indeed a talent.
Apart from his contribution to offering potatoes, his hard work on the battlefield and the invention of the curved plow and waterwheel have benefited us a lot.
This is a visible benefit.
"Who says it's not the case?
If he hadn't seen that he still had some ability, he would have been chopped off long ago.
We can still let him wait until now.
This kid is not happy in prison.
He asked for a lot of pens, inks, paper and inkstones, saying that he was writing What book?"
Everything that happened in the prison, big or small, could not escape Li Shimin's eyes, including Li Tai's visit.
"Your Majesty, Duke Yi and Duke Lu are asking for an audience."
Suddenly, a young eunuch ran over and reported in a low voice.
"Please come quickly."
Li Shimin stood up immediately.
Since Qin Qiong became seriously ill and was busy with state affairs, the two of them had fewer opportunities to meet.
"I, Duke Yi, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"I, Duke Lu, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"Uncle Bao, please sit down quickly.
You are feeling better."
Seeing Qin Qiong sitting limply, Li Shimin felt heartbroken.
Once upon a time, the existence that was like a god of war ended up like this.
"Thanks to Your Majesty, it's okay, but my legs and feet are not in good condition.
I often feel severe pain after walking for a certain distance, and I have to collapse and walk."
Although Qin Qiong didn't care on the surface, his dim eyes betrayed him after all.
No one could care less that he couldn't walk freely.
"I think back then, Shu Bao took the lead in every battle and was so high-spirited that he often frightened the enemy even before he went into battle.
The Tang Dynasty is what it is today.
It was Shu Bao and all of you here here who fought hard."
Li Shimin's eye circles were also a little red.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were constant wars.
Qin Qiong, as the top combat force, beheaded generals and captured flags.
Among thousands of troops, he took the heads of generals, just like picking out objects from a bag.
Unfortunately, the price was , hundreds of large and small wounds.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be sad.
It is also my wish to restore peace to the people of the world.
I have fought more than 200 times in my life as a soldier, and I have bled countless liters.
How can I not get sick?
Besides, it is the gold and iron horses, and the corpses wrapped in horse leather.
The highest honor for a general."
"Your Majesty, Mr.
Li Gang and Mr.
Changsun would like to see you."
A young eunuch came to report.
"Xuan".
The eldest grandson leaving the palace makes eldest grandson Wuji very uneasy.
If His Majesty becomes disgusted, this will bring immeasurable changes to the entire eldest grandson's family.
"Your Majesty, the empress has returned to the palace and is on her way."
Li Shimin was happy, this was really a rush, but Changsun Wuji, who had just come in, felt relieved, it was okay.
"Your Majesty, the old minister came today just to plead for Wang Zhi.
Although Wang Zhi committed a heinous crime, he is still a military general.
Now is the time when Tubo is using its troops.
Why not send him to the front line?
Whether he lives or dies depends on him.
If you fight yourself, even if you are wrapped in horse leather, it is still better than dying in prison.
Your Majesty, please think twice."
Qin Qiong stood up tremblingly and wanted to kneel down to beg for mercy, but was supported by Li Shimin with one hand: "Uncle Bao, why do you have to do this?
Everything can be discussed."
"Your Majesty, although Wang Zhi made a big mistake, he is still a young man after all.
Why not give him a chance."
Li Gang also stood up at the right time to support Qin Qiong.
Changsun Wuji was stunned.
Mr.
Li Gang, how could he intercede for Wang Zhi?
"That's fine.
Since all the ministers are interceding for Wang Zhi, I agree.
However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be forgiven.
Someone comes and delivers the order.
Wang Zhi will be stripped of his status as a marquis, reduced to a sergeant, and will go out with the army.
Forget it.
Someone, bring Wang Zhi here."
Those present were all heroes of the empire.
Li Shimin also sighed in his heart.
He didn't expect that this guy was such a good person that so many people would come to plead for mercy.
Besides, Wang Zhi was still a disciple of Changsun, so he probably wanted to plead for mercy, but he was embarrassed to ask for mercy.

On the one hand, he was his disciple, and on the other hand, he was his daughter.
It was quite embarrassing.
"Your Majesty, Wang Zhi will bring you here."
In less than a cup of tea, a group of sergeants escorted Wang Zhi to the Imperial Garden.
"Wang Zhi, do you know your guilt?"
Li Shimin suddenly became angry and asked angrily.
"I know the crime."
Wang Zhi has been in prison for these days and has figured out one thing, that is, he cannot have a hard time with Li Shimin.
This will not be of any benefit to himself and Yuzhang.
After all, in this empire, Li Shimin is the king. , speaking of the existence of Yibudu, unless I can travel back in time, I have to be honest.
"It's too late to realize your guilt.
Now I want to deprive you of your status as a marquis and reduce you to a soldier to participate in the war against Tubo.
Are you convinced?"
Thinking of Wang Zhi's stubbornness, Li Shimin became angry and wanted to beat him hard. you.
"The small people accept the decree."
Wang Zhi was full of bitterness.
He didn't expect that Li Shimin would send him to the front line as a small soldier.
Moreover, the marching general manager seemed to be Hou Junji, who had a grudge against him.
Now, it was difficult for him to die.
"Are you not convinced?
As long as you can come back alive, I have two conditions here.
I want you to complete it.
I will not care about the matter between you and Yuzhang.
However, if you cannot complete it, you will have to do it in the future.
Stay safe and don't make any more mistakes "Do you dare to accept my thoughts?"
Li Shimin is still very unhappy.
So many people are begging for mercy.
Well, I agree, but there are conditions.
It depends on whether you can do it.
Anyway, the result will be yours.
The result of hard work or lack of effort.
Moreover, Li Shimin had long thought that someone would come to plead for mercy, and he had already thought of the conditions, and he also wanted Wang Zhi to retreat in spite of the difficulties
