After a little emotional brewing, Yuan Ling sighed and said, "The emperor's brother, Wushuang, is leading the army to fight, and is invincible. I believe he has been studying military strategies since he was a child and practicing archery and archery skills diligently?"

Li Shimin said proudly: "That's natural. My Longyou Li family started with military merits, and my parents were particularly strict with our archery and horse strategy. I can defeat the world because of this."

Yuan Ling said with some envy: "I can't do it anymore. I have never had this talent since I was a child. Military books are sleepy at a glance. Riding horses and shooting archery is just to entertain yourself. It's okay to travel from generation to generation. If you want to come, you may fall when you fall. What I really like is architecture. Looking at the structure layout of Da'an Palace and the magnificence of Tai Chi Palace, I thought in my heart how great it would be if I could design the building myself. But my father didn't understand, and said, "How can I not know the archery and horse in Longyou? How can I not know about military affairs? But I just don't like it! In order to escape from my father, I ran to the Lizheng Palace every few days."

Li Shimin couldn't tell the truth about this, and he knew it when he came to Lizheng Hall every few days.

Yuan Lingxu said: "At the time, he was ignorant and rebellious, he could not understand the painstaking efforts of his father. He just rebelled and studied architecture privately, trying to prove it to his father that he could walk his own way. He didn't expect that his father would walk so fast. Before I grew up and had proved himself, he went there. In an instant, the sky collapsed. Reliance was gone, he was confused and helpless... The only thing worth comforting was the care of the emperor's sister-in-law. My brother lost his mother since childhood. The emperor treated me very well, and was not afraid of the emperor's brother's jokes. I thought of her as a mother in my heart."

This is Li Yuanai's most real feeling. In Yuanling's memory, Li Yuanai repeatedly rushes with Li Zhi to take care of Xiao Yizi in order to win the praise of Empress Changsun, which is very meaningful to compete for favor.

Li Shimin was not surprised. He and Empress Changsun could indeed be the younger brother and parents, and his eldest son Li Chengqian was a few years older than him.

"It's a pity that the emperor's sister-in-law also went there a year later..."

This sentence touched Li Shimin's sadness, and his face was also sad. This was the pain of his life.

"The only two people in this world who are good to me are gone. I just feel that life is gray, without hope and direction. I can only live a life of drunkenness and dreams and live a life of a bastard."

Yuan Ling suddenly asked, "Does the emperor believe in ghosts and gods?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said firmly: "Don't believe it!"

"I don't believe it either!" Yuan Ling said, "But on that day, I accidentally fell into Qujiang and almost died. I don't know where or when, I seemed to see my father, and he scolded me. It was like a dream, but the dream was so real."

When he was acting, he suddenly remembered his parents. In the 21st century, his eyes suddenly turned red, he poured himself wine, and poured himself into his throat, and said, "The greatest sorrow in life is that his son wants to raise his parents but his parents are not here. I really regret that I didn't accompany them well, and I didn't even say a few thoughtful words. I just thought they were long-winded and troublesome..."

Li Shimin was speechless.

Yuan Ling wiped away his tears and said, "No matter whether it was the father's dream or the illusion when he was in a coma, I was scolded and woke up, and I scolded him. Not to mention being a big man who is beneficial to the country, at least I don't cause trouble for the emperor's brother, and I can't slander the Li Tang royal family. I picked up my old business again. The dragon bone water wheel has existed for hundreds of years and is no longer suitable for the present. I plan to start from this to see if I can achieve some achievements. Coincidentally, the singer in the mansion knew that He Shaojian and his brother had a secret relationship, and they also meant to improve the dragon bone water wheel. So I took various letters from He Shaojian and studied them carefully. I didn't want to really make some achievements, which made the emperor laugh."

Li Shimin had no doubts anymore and said, "It's not just a little achievement, it's a reward for the current dynasty and for the future."

He walked down from his position, filled Yuan Ling with wine, and said, "You have suffered for the years, it's for your brother. My father is gone, and I, the elder brother, should take on the obligation to take care of you. It's my dereliction of duty and I have ignored you."

Yuan Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his glass and drank, "What is this? The emperor is the emperor and guards the world. Not only did I not help, I caused a lot of trouble to the emperor. Now I think about it, I am really ashamed."

"I won't say this!" Li Shimin returned to his seat and said, "It's rare that you and my brothers will open their hearts. Let's have a few drinks."

Yuan Ling also said proudly: "Okay! I will accompany my brother to the emperor, and I will not return until I am drunk!"

After drinking a few cups, Li Shimin said: "The emperor's brother is not as stubborn as his father. If you like construction craftsmanship, then you will be able to help you. The Ministry of Works and Hongwenguan have all kinds of books on this kind of books, so you can go in and out and study it yourself. I remember that there are also design drawings of Yu Wen Kai designing Daxing City in the Hongwenguan. In the early years, our army invaded Daxing City, and Fang Xiang took them from the Ministry of Works."

"That's great!" Yuan Ling exclaimed, saying, "Master Yuwen Kai is the master of architecture. Although He Shaojian is not inferior to him, the two have different strengths. Compared to He Shaojian's good at various military equipment, my brother prefers Master Yuwen Kai's architectural design."

Li Shimin also saw that his younger brother really likes architecture and said, "As you said at Da'an Palace that day, I will prepare to conquer Goguryeo next. Without you, when I settle Goguryeo and build Cuiwei Palace, I will first allow you to assist Shangshu Yan."

Yuan Ling was even more happy. He suddenly thought of the ending of Li Shimin's conquest of Goguryeo in history, and he was immediately worried.

In history, Li Shimin personally conquered Goguryeo, and passed through the pass and killed generals. He successively captured the three major battles of Xuantu, Hengshan, Gaimu, Momi, Liaodong, Baiyan, Beisha, Maigu, Yinshan, Houhuang Shishi, Xincheng, Jian'an, and stationed directly destroyed most of the main forces of Goguryeo and recovered the Han land that had occupied Goguryeo for two hundred years. The Tang army soldiers were killed in battle, and the results were abundant. However, he went deep into the hinterland of Goguryeo and encountered the Anshi Mountain City, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and was forced to withdraw his troops.

In terms of the results of the battle, the Tang army was not considered a loss, but the Tang generals had always been able to fight once and for all, with the goal of destroying the country. The Tang royal emperor failed to destroy the country in his personal expedition, and the arrogant Li Shimin naturally thought it was a great shame.

He said: "Why didn't the emperor take two steps to recover Liaodong and western Liaoning first, recover lost territory, and then destroy Goguryeo. I was anxious and couldn't eat meat tofu..."

Li Shimin filled himself with a glass of wine and said, "I'm not to be hiding the Sixteenth. This time, I plan to go to the battle in person. In recent years, Li Jing, Hou Junji, Li Ji and others have gone out, and they will destroy the country. I will personally fight. If I can't destroy a Goguryeo, what's the difference between it and Yang Guang? If I recover Liaodong and Liaoxi, I will return? I can't afford to lose this person..."
