I laughed embarrassedly twice, and subconsciously patted the whole thing, which was still round. The child didn't want to keep them, but the child and brother Shuyu were chatting and eating, and they had eaten from noon until now..."

The old man looked at my round belly and waved his head with a lot of laughter and cry: "You kid, forget it, let's go, let's take two steps with me. After riding a horse for a long time, his legs and feet are a little numb." He raised his hands and walked around in front of him slowly. The snow on the road had been shoveled to both sides of the road by the servants. The sky was still very dry and cold, but the pine and cypress still looked particularly green, the rich green and clean white were not tangled with each other, but they were decorated with each other.

"Today, the report from Jiangnan Road has come. Your elder brother has done a good job this year. The prefectures and counties that plant double-season rice have achieved great harvests. In addition, on the Liuqiu Island, the trial planting of third-season rice was also very successful. Your Majesty praised your elder brother today, haha..." The old man seemed to be in a good mood, stroking his long beard with joy on his face.

"The eldest brother has always been diligent in his work. I can't expect that he can achieve today's results. I just don't know when the eldest brother will be able to return to Beijing. I have been away from Chang'an for a few years. I don't know how it is?" I said on the side. To be honest, I do miss this brother a little. Well, in the past, the two brothers helped each other and covered each other in front of the old man. A few years have passed, and our eldest nephew is not young anymore.

The old man sighed softly: "Don't be anxious, you can't come even if you want to. Your elder brother has to stay in Jiangnan Road for at least one or two years. If Your Majesty is worried about others, it will be rare to come back in three to five years." The old man stood in front of a wintersweet, looked at the blooming petals with Xueer, and curled his lips: "For my father, I hope your elder brother can practice outside for a few more years. Now that he is back, it is inappropriate."

"Father, you are such a big talk. Do you want to drive him out after your elder brother home?" I joked on the side. The old man felt sorry for his elder brother very much. I know very well. After all, my third brother and I don't pick on my father's temperament at all. I think we are more like my mother. Only the elder brother, whose gentle temperament and hard work in everything are similar to my father.

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

Perhaps, the old man has higher expectations for his elder brother. After all, as our eldest son, he has always been very successful. Even Uncle Li once praised my elder brother for being inadequate in his experience in doing business. In addition to his lack of experience in doing business, he is also a top-notch talent. It seems that the old man hopes to let his elder brother take over his position after he retires.

Since the early years of Zhenguan, it seems that it has become a practice. If you don’t be an official in the prefectures and counties, you can’t be called a prime minister without experience in local governance. Our elder brother has made considerable achievements. If he really has a year or two, he will be able to become a minister when he returns to the court. When his elder brother returns to the court, he will at least be a minister, that is, an official at the level of a deputy minister. After three or five years, as long as he can achieve more, he will definitely be able to become a prime minister. By that time, the old man will be able to retreat with peace of mind.

I naturally agreed with this point. To be honest, what I don’t like most is to be with a group of mischievous guys, and I don’t want to play intrigue in the court with a group of slutty men who look like vulgar. That’s not my strength. I prefer to cultivate my own strength and reputation, just like what the palace maid said in my ears. As long as I can try not to get involved in the scope of internal political struggles in the court, with the power and prestige in literati and military, as long as you don’t rebel, even Your Majesty will not touch me.

At least in the Tang Dynasty, even if the emperor killed someone, he had to be honest and proof. Moreover, Uncle Li and Li Zhi had a harmonious relationship with me. In addition, compared with his strong uncle, Li Zhi was more on my side, because Changsun Wuji was indeed too strong. According to Li Zhi himself, even if he is the crown prince now, Changsun Wuji still regarded him as the helpless and dispensable boy back then. Although he could not reach the point of reprimanding and drinking, it would not be much better.

Well, that's good. Anyway, I'm happy to prejudice the situation between Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji, or it should be said that I, a third party, can survive in such an environment more easily. It seems that it is not right to use the word third party to describe it. However, it is not beneficial to the enemy, which is beneficial to me, and I can still clearly distinguish this point.

"By the way, let me tell you something. Your Majesty has ordered that the priest of Jin Imperial College, Kong Yingda, the priest of Qufu County, Lao Hu, this priest of Kong can be considered a success and retirement..." The old man stroked his long beard and sighed.

I asked carefully from the side: "Is Lord Kong really going to retire?" The old man nodded: "King Master Kong, in the past two years, his body has been

No, in the middle of this year, I was seriously ill and now I am not good at it. Your Majesty has agreed, and it is really difficult for him. Haha, over the past few years, it has been relying on him to implement the imperial examination reform. If someone else had changed, he would have been unable to withstand it. Now the foundation has been established. Xiao Guicao only needs to be allowed to give up. Well, Erlang, today, my father has been impeached again." The old man seemed to be indifferent to his impeachment, but just mentioned it to me briefly.

"Can't it be the counselor again? Father, why is this person endless?" I was a little angry. However, the old man was quite helpless. After all, Chu Suiliang was the counselor. It was his job to impeach people. And what he impeached was about my father who had been in the court for too long. It has been twenty-two years since the Zhenguan year to this day. Well, no one has worked in this position for so long except my father.

Even Uncle Li's brother-in-law Changsun Wuji, the old man, is not as long as my father. It's too long and some people can't stand it. This is normal. Besides, Chu Suiliang is also standing in the name of righteousness. This makes the old man helpless. Well, we can only stare at him. Although the old man has long been retiring, the problem is that Uncle Li has talked to my old man in private about this issue. I hope that the old man will not retire too early because of their friendship over the past decades.

Uncle Li was also very persistent. When Chu Suiliang impeached him once, Uncle Li refuted him. The emperor played Tai Chi with his ministers like this, and he was talking back and forth. To be honest, in the eyes of ordinary people, or in the Ming and Qing dynasties, those emperors would definitely make them laugh, thinking that such emperors had a big meaning. But in fact, the government agencies of this era happened to be the most suitable government structure in feudal socialism. The emperor could not make a decision in political decisions because he was supervised by his subordinates. It was because of this reason that Uncle Li tried his best not to make mistakes and make fewer mistakes.

The old man put his hand on my shoulder and patted him: "You are so anxious. Your Majesty will definitely not let him go as your father. This is very clear to your father. But you, work harder in the matter in Weinan and strive to achieve results earlier. You must know that, although everyone in the Tang Dynasty has not said anything, they are very happy. If you take a wrong step, you will probably not have time to regret it. After all, this involves too many benefits."

Feeling my father's care, I nodded deeply: "Don't worry, my father, I know what to do."

The old man also mentioned the topic of money shop, so I naturally answered questions. In addition, the old man praised the way to collect supplies in the court and trade directly through money shops to reduce and eliminate the chance of corruption and bribery among middlemen. As for the payment of wages, the money shop is also made. This proposal is a bit too early. I have to wait. After all, the money shop has only started now, and the steps cannot be taken too quickly or too large. Be cautious, it is always good.

I naturally agreed one by one. After all, my old man has become a talented man. At least he will not be harming his own children. The Winter Games of the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty have been opened as scheduled. Well, it seems that the Winter Games of the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty have become a unique landscape of the Tang Dynasty. The people of Chang'an and the nobles of the court, and even Uncle Li pose for fun with the people. The high mountain downhill skiing competition, the winter Ironman tetrathletter was even more visible to many spectators. Cross-country skiing ten miles, dog sled twenty miles, and running five thousand meters, and finally shooting, that is, archery and twenty arrows. The soldiers of the Wu Ben Army still maintained their dominant position in this event. The top three in the summer triathlon at the summer sports event were also won by these special heroes of the Tang Dynasty.

No one was dissatisfied because they gave more than ordinary soldiers. Therefore, when these most outstanding warriors of the Tang Dynasty stood on the podium, Uncle Li kissed and hung medals for these winners.
