Time flies like a flash of time. %%() Before he knew it, Li Ke spent four years in Taiyuan! After counting his fingers, Li Ke found that he had been in Taiyuan for eight years.

In the courtyard outside the study, there are three four-year-old children playing, and the sound of playing is constantly coming, which usually doesn't appear. Who dares to laugh and play outside the study of Beiwang?

But the scene in front of me really appeared, and it still appeared here so truly!

Li Ke raised his eyes to the window, posted some of the three little guys outside the door, and said to Wang Zhongchang, "Let them come to the study and talk!"

When Wang Zhongchang received the order, he saw three children walking into Li Ke’s study with dignified manner.

"See Father!"

Two of the boys who looked three-pointed like Li Ke outside said.

"See the Engaged Father!" Another boy who lived a little behind also bowed respectfully.

"No need to be polite, get up!" Li Ke said to the three children with a smile.

The three children in front of him are two of his sons Li Ren and Li Yi, and the other is Di Renjie, who has long been adopted by Li Ke as his adopted son.

Li Ke accepted Di Renjie as his adopted son, not intentional, but an unintentional act. He wanted Di Renjie to learn literature and martial arts with his two sons, and focus on cultivating this famous general of the Tang Dynasty. This was a good thing for Di Renjie, but Di Renjie's identity made it unable to enter and exit the palace freely. Therefore, Li Ke recognized Di Renjie as his adopted son, so that he could just live in the palace and accept the teacher's teachings with Li Ren and Li Yi. This was also the happiest thing Di Zhixun was!

Zhixun admired literature, so he naturally knew that education for his children was the top priority. It was definitely a rich fortune to allow his son to study in the royal palace and accompany the two little princes. Di Zhixun had special trust and confidence in Li Ke. He knew Li Ke very well and believed that Li Ke would definitely realize his ambitions, so that he would be very satisfied with Di Renjie accompanying the two little princes to study together. When Li Ke proposed at that time, he agreed to Li Ke without hesitation.

"Why did you run to the forbidden area of ​​the study to play? Have you read the books you should read? Have you written the words you should write?" Li Ke asked lightly.

"Father, I just want to ask you, will we go to Chang'an to see the emperor's grandfather in a few days?" Li Ren asked Li Ke.

"Who did you hear?" Li Ke stared at Li Ren with a stern look.

Since he came to Taiyuan four years ago, he has not returned to Chang'an City. Even though Empress Changsun died of illness last year, he wrote a letter to Chang'an to attend the funeral, but he did not receive Li Shimin's imperial edict to go to Chang'an. Therefore, Fang Yiai was about to graduate from the Army Academy. As soon as Fang Yiai graduated, he was about to marry Princess Gaoyang, and Li Ke meant to take this opportunity to go to Chang'an. So, at this time, he was quite unhappy when he heard Li Ren say this. This time he wanted to take advantage of Princess Gaoyang's wedding to go to the capital. This was just a decision made after discussing with Di Zhixun and other confidants. As for whether to go or not, it depends on whether Li Shimin agreed. In this case, how could he not be surprised when Li Ren said this in an understatement? Thinking of Empress Changsun's death last year,

Li Ke was very worried and suspicious when he had not received the imperial edict from the court to attend the funeral. He knew very well that the queen had passed away. As a prince, how could he not go to attend the funeral? The officials of the court certainly did not dare to issue such an order. Only his father could issue such an order. Therefore, he vaguely felt that his father's favor for him had reduced his drinking, and he transplanted him to Li Zhi and Li Chengqian. Thinking of Li Chengqian, Li Ke felt uncomfortable. Li Chengqian's position as the prince was in danger at the beginning, but because of his injury to fall off, he made great righteousness in advance, abandoning his family and taking responsibility for the fall off without saying a word, resolving a fight between the Tang Dynasty and Tuyuhun, which not only gave him the right to obey the government, but also regained the favor of Li Shimin.

Li Ke felt that it was precisely because of Li Chengqian's favor and Li Zhi's rise that his status in his father's heart has been reduced a lot, which led to the embarrassing act of the empress passing away last year but not being able to attend the funeral. Li Ke himself knew very well that this was his father telling him to stay seriously in Taiyuan, which was his unique idea, and at the same time, he was also telling the identity of Li Ke, the minister and common people in Chang'an. Li Ke seemed to feel that it was since Empress Changsun's death last year that his position in Taiyuan seemed very embarrassing, as if he was deposed.

Therefore, this time, taking advantage of the opportunity of Princess Gaoyang's wedding, he wanted to enter Chang'an, and his purpose was very obvious, that was, to join forces with Li Tai to restrain Li Chengqian, and not let Li Chengqian have too much power, and not to let Li Chengqian gain the holy heart so easily.

And this is his secret, and it was a conclusion that he and Di Zhixun and others planned for a long time before they came to! So, he wanted to know who told Li Ren that he was going to Chang'an, and also wanted to figure out how much Li Ren knew?

"It was my grandfather's words!" Li Ren said in a low voice. Even when Li Ke asked in a faint tone, Li Ren was so scared by his father's majesty that he dared not speak loudly. He no longer had the naivety and naughty he had just now, and what he showed was a maturity different from his age.

"You go down!" Li Ke said lightly. The grandfather Li Ren said was naturally Tuli. Tuli Khan went to Chang'an this time. When he passed by Taiyuan, he stayed in the Northern Palace for a few days. He had just left for a while. He liked Li Ren's words very much. He would give him some of his own experiences and stories every time. This time, he might have said it without a doubt! Li Ke thought so in his heart, so he no longer pursued the questions Li Ren had asked him.

Li Ren, Li Yi and Di Renjie are both the sons of Li Ke. Li Ke often teaches several people and teaches them some knowledge, including study and painting. He is more harsh when he teaches, which makes the three of them very afraid of Li Ke.

Although the father had no intention of blaming him, Li Ren immediately sued and the three brothers left the study.

The three disappeared in the study. Li Ke began to see if he could obtain Chang'an this time and began to think about how he should make arrangements in the future.

In the past four years, because Li Chengqian suddenly gained power and gained the right to rule, and his own people were not in Chang'an City, and he was far away from the political center. Therefore, these four years have passed very peacefully. The development of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medicine and the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine is also very fast. Now the number of students in the two colleges has reached 8,000, which can be said to have become a real academic holy land. As for the development of the Army Academy, it goes without saying that after four years of tempering, Xue Rengui, Xue Chong, Fang Yiai, Meng Zhao, and Yuwen

After all, they have the talents of generals. As long as they have been trained for a period of military and baptism on the battlefield, they promise to become famous generals in the next forty years of the Tang Dynasty. And they will only have a group of young generals such as Wang Fangyi to fill the gap after their old age. Therefore, the development of the Army Academy and the talents it cultivated made Li Ke worry about the generals. What made Li Ke most happy was the prosperity of Bingzhou. It has basically reached the level of Chang'an City and is about to become

In order to develop the largest city in the Tang Dynasty after Chang'an, after four years of planning and development, Bingzhou no longer planted poppy, and Li Ke moved all poppy to Yingzhou for a generation of planting, which was under the responsibility of Liu Rengui. In this way, Bingzhou began to develop agriculture again. With the technical support of the Han Academy, Bingzhou's agriculture also achieved great success. Not to mention the business aspect, the major workshops and caravans dominated by the Longyou family have now ruled the entire business roads in the north

Even in the previous area of ​​Chang'an, there were goods from several major workshops in Taiyuan. During this period, Xu Jingzong developed and strengthened the Beifu Bank, and his branches had already spread throughout the Beifu region. Except for a few places where Li Ke could not reach the rights, such as Shuofang, several branches had been opened in other places, and their business was also very large. Therefore, overall, Taiyuan has now been on the track scheduled by Li Ke and is constantly developing like a commercial metropolis.

However, when he achieved such impressive results, Li Ke also had a little doubt about Li Shimin's attitude towards him. Therefore, he felt that the trip to Chang'an this time was very important to him. He had to go to Chang'an and face the army in person. Another thing Li Ke knew very well that it was already eight years since Zhenguan. Listening to the secret guards, Tuyuhun was becoming more and more active on the Shuofang border, and the domestic troops and food and grass were mobilized frequently. This was a bad omen, indicating that the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tuyuhun would break out at the end of the year.

The war between the Tang Dynasty and Tuyuhun was indispensable for the participation of the Northern Prefecture cavalry. The tens of thousands of defenders in Shuofang and the tens of thousands of soldiers in Chang'an City could not win at all. Therefore, he felt that there was another problem that he had to solve when he returned to Chang'an this time, that is, the issue of military power. He knew very well that the possibility of leading troops in the battle with Tuyuhun was very small, but the court needed the Northern Prefecture cavalry. In this case, he felt that the only thing he could do was to compromise and profit from it.

Li Ke was quietly thinking about what he should do and what he shouldn’t do when he went to Chang'an this time!

I saw Zhu Tong quickly walk into the study.

"Your Highness, inform Governor Liu, Governor Su, Chief Du and General Chen's spies that have already heard news that they will reach Taiyuan the day after tomorrow!"

"Yeah!" Li Ke said lightly, "It's already very good that they can catch up with the graduation ceremony of the Army Academy students!"

After saying that, he stopped talking, while Zhu Tong withdrew from the study with tactfulness.
Chapter completed!
