Li Shimin glanced at Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong with interest, but did not reveal the background of these two fools.
Then he passed his gaze across the faces of Wang Jian, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, and said loudly.
"Many of you have just returned to Chang'an from other places. I won't waste your time too much. You should go back and spend time with your family as soon as possible."
"After you go back, everyone should Get a good rest and don't mess around too late. "
"Everyone must be in high spirits for the year-end report tomorrow. "
After hearing Li Shimin's instructions, these people were shocked. All of them showed evil smiles.
Especially those who have been separated from their wives and concubines for a long time have the brightest smiles on their faces.
"Your Majesty, we will retire first."
After saluting Li Shimin, the courtiers left the Liangyi Hall one after another.
Looking at this group of talented and loyal subordinates, Li Shimin was filled with ambition.
Wang County Duke’s Mansion
After Wang Jian came back, he saw Er Dan in the front yard.
He held a horse-stem and danced like a tiger and a tiger.
In the main hall, Han Xuelian, Yao Dan and Xi Qiangwei were sitting at the door with small stools, watching Er Dan practicing martial arts.
"Erdan, why are you back?"
Hearing his eldest brother's voice, Erdan slowly stopped, then walked quickly to Wang Jian with his horse in hand. In front of him, he said loudly.
"Brother, the master is back for the year-end report. He is bringing me back with him."
"When will we go to Luzhou?"
"After Yuan Zheng Later. ”
After the year-end work report, Li Shimin will hold a banquet and treat these heroes to dinner and drinks.
Next is the seven-day Yuanzheng holiday.
If Cheng Yaojin waits another three to five days to set off, Erdan can stay in Chang'an for about half a month.
Wang Jian nodded, looked at Erdan carefully, and then said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a few months, and my body has become stronger."
"Hey, hey, everything The master taught me well."
Erdan rubbed the back of his head and said with a naive smile.
At this time, Yao Dan and the other three also came over. Yao Dan raised his head and said, "Brother, you went to Uncle Fang's house to study today. Why did it take you so long to come back?"
After winter, the elder brother only needs to go to Uncle Fang to study for half an hour every day and then come back. Today, he is nearly an hour and a half late.
In a while, it will be dark.
Wang Jian smiled and explained to everyone: "His Majesty summoned us into the palace temporarily, and a group of people chatted casually."
"That's it."
Yaodan is like a little adultThe same, nodding his head with an expression of enlightenment.
After chatting for a while, Han Xuelian said: "Let's chat while eating. It's still snowing outside and it's very cold."
The wind was biting, even though they were already dressed There were so many clothes, but my body was still shivering from the cold.
And the earlobes looked like they were about to freeze.
Wang Jian smiled and said, "Come on, let's go in and chat."
Today's dinner is still hot pot.
In the winter in the north, as soon as the food is out of the pot, if you don't use the stove to heat it, the food will be cold in less than a minute.
It is most suitable to have a hot pot where you can eat hot dishes and chat slowly.
Even in the palace, Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Lizhi gathered around a table and ate beef hot pot.
Needless to say, beef was brought by Cheng Yaojin.
He came back from Luzhou and it was impossible for the cows in his family to be ignorant.
A cow was killed one day, and a bull was killed today.
According to Cheng Yaojin, these two cows are a loving couple.
One seeks death, and the other does not want to live alone.
Li Shimin laughed heartily after hearing this ridiculous reason.
The beef that Wang Jian and the others ate today was sent over by someone from Cheng Yaojin, weighing about forty kilograms.

While the beef was being blanched, Wang Jian asked curiously: "Erdan, how is life there in Luzhou? What do you usually do?"
Yao Dan, Han Xuelian As well as Xi Qiangwei, they also listened with their ears pricked up.
They were very interested in the lives of these generals.
After Erdan swallowed the meat in his mouth, he whispered back: "I train with my master at the Governor's Mansion on weekdays. Occasionally I go to the camp to take my men out to patrol the counties below."
"The food of ordinary soldiers in the camp is relatively poor. They only get one meal of meat in two days, and the portion is small."
"I usually eat with the master in the Governor's Mansion, chicken and mutton every meal If you are full, you can still eat beef or horse meat three or five times a month."
"It's just that the cooks there are not as delicious as the ones at home."
After hearing Erdan's words, Wang Jian's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He is indeed the Demon King Cheng Yaojin.
As the governor of Luzhou, he lived a wonderful life.
However, he really takes care of Erdan, and he is not so good to his own son.
Xi Qiangwei suddenly asked: "You guys are stationed in a boring camp. Don't you go out to the brothel to have fun on weekdays?"
"How is it possible that you are so tired from training? Go find that place."
"Who knows."
Xi Qiangwei lowered her head and ate the freshly blanched beef, with a faint smile on her lips.
There is a situation!
Wang Jian glanced back and forth at Erdan and Xi Qiangwei.
He didn't understand how these two people, who didn't have much communication at all on weekdays, suddenly became a little ambiguous.
Yao Dan, who was sitting next to him, stood up, put his body into Wang Jian's ear, and whispered in a whisper that only two people could hear.
"Second brother and sister Qiangwei like each other."
Then he told Erdan and Xi Qiangwei that they were walking and chatting in the front yard in the afternoon.
After finishing speaking, Yao Dan sat back down and kept winking at Wang Jian.
This bastard.
It turned out to be Yao Dan’s fault.
Wang Jian knew Erdan’s temperament very well. If the girl hadn’t taken the initiative, he wouldn’t have made any move.
Yaodan started to get weird again when he saw his second brother constantly making beef for him to eat.
"Oh, second brother, why do you just boil beef for yourself and don't get anything to eat for Sister Qiangwei and me? You have no grace at all."
Hearing Yao Dan's words , Xi Qiangwei's pretty white cheeks were stained with a blush.
She is usually a bold and generous woman, but she is extremely shy when it comes to love.
Wang Jian pinched Yao Dan's cheek gently and said angrily: "I can boil the beef myself and eat it. For such a big man, I don't feel ashamed to ask my second brother for help."
"Hey~"
Yaodan took his eldest brother's hand away with all his strength and said proudly: "Second brother, your beef is better."
Han Xuelian stood aside. Pretending to be angry, he said: "Yaodan, isn't the beef I boiled for you, sister, delicious?"
Uh~
Yaodan was stunned.
Sister Lian just cooked a lot of beef and vegetables for him.
Oops, I was careless.
Yao Dan patted his forehead in frustration.
He smiled and flattered: "Hehe, Sister Lian's beef is the most delicious."
"Huh, it's too late now, you can eat it yourself "Okay."
Han Xuelian pretended to be angry and gave Wang Jian a big chopstick of beef.
Yaodan is drooling when he looks at it.
Seeing that the beef was getting less and less, he did not dare to neglect the movements in his hands. He quickly picked up a large chopstick of beef and put it in a large colander to boil.
He is a foodie and is very good at hot pot.
