Chapter 316: Beat up?

Since it was a major disaster, it was impossible for only one place in Henan to produce water in the entire Tang Dynasty.

For example, like Chuanyuan County, which is not under artificial control, there are twelve floods across the country, and nearly 100,000 victims were killed or injured. Fortunately, there was no epidemic with it, and there was no major panic in the country after the disaster.

However, even so, this flood caused very serious harm and losses to the Tang Dynasty. Nearly half of the savings in ten years were used. Although the treasury was not empty, it was no longer rich. It seemed that it was back to the early years of Zhenguan. It was a little bitter, which was more expensive than fighting ten tough battles.

Li Shimin looked at the statistical notes handed over by the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Revenue, and sighed in his heart that natural disasters are far beyond human power. This is a blessing that there has not been any major turmoil.

"Emperor, General Gongsun Wuda is here to meet him." Li Ran bent over and saluted and reported to Li Shimin softly.

"Well, let him come in." Li Shimin frowned slightly and waved to Li Ran, saying, "The old man Gongsun Wuda is here to propose marriage again, right?"

Putting down the memorial in his hand, Li Shimin took a sip of tea and waited for Gongsun Wuda's arrival.

"Emperor!" He bent over with his fists and bowed to Li Shimin. Gongsun Wuda smiled and said, "I have politeness here!"

"Okay, sit down," Li Shimin casually waved at Gongsun Wuda, let him sit down aside, looked at him, and asked, "If you have anything to do, just say it. I know you have always come without any trouble."

"Uh, the emperor is wise!" Gongsun Wuda took the tea handed over by the eunuch with both hands. He chuckled a little embarrassedly and said to Li Shimin: "Actually, there is nothing big about me when I come here this time. It's the one I mentioned in front of the emperor last time. I wonder what you think about, Your Majesty?"

"It's Xiao Lan'er and Princess Yuzhang of the Gongsun family?" Li Shimin glanced at Gongsun Wuda, took a sip of tea, and said, "Your dear, I have been worrying about this flood every day in the past month. It has not stopped for a moment until now. Millions of victims are still waiting for the court's relief. This matter is not appropriate now. Let's talk about it later, okay?"

Li Shimin knew very well what happened to his own girl. After all, someone was willing to stand up and marry her, and Li Shimin was not willing to miss it easily, so he didn't say anything.

And in her heart, Li Shimin also agreed with this marriage. Gongsun Helan's family background and character were very consistent with Li Shimin's thoughts, but Yu Zhang still had some resistance in her heart, and Li Shimin didn't want to stimulate her too much. Since she learned about Yu Zhang's physical condition, Yu Zhang's temperament has changed a lot compared to before. I am afraid that she will be unable to think about it, so Li Shimin and Empress Changsun fell in love with her more and more.

"Yes, what the emperor said is extremely yes, and the minister is a little ungrateful." Seeing that Li Shimin did not refuse, Gongsun Wuda knew that there was still some hope in this matter, so he smiled and bowed to Li Shimin.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Gongsun Helan had been wandering behind his butt these days and insisted on pestering him to the palace to find out the emperor's meaning, Gongsun Wuda would not have come here with shame. After all, he, the uncle, would not agree with this marriage.

What's the use of marrying a daughter-in-law who cannot give birth to a child?

Gongsun Wuda married eleven wives in his life, but no child was born. Isn’t it just a loss to this? Well, although that problem is most likely to be caused by himself.

When he thought of Gongsun Helan who was still waiting for his news at home, Gongsun Wuda had a headache. This little boy was becoming more and more disobedient, and it was really hard for him to convince his second son to agree to the marriage. Based on his second son's previous temper, it would be strange if he didn't take action to beat the boy up.

The king and his ministers chatted together for a while, and Gongsun Wuda stood up and left, returning to his General Gongsun's mansion.

As soon as I returned to the mansion, I saw Gongsun Helanba coming up, walked to Gongsun Wuda, bent over and bowed, then rubbed his hands, looked at Gongsun Wuda and asked, "Uncle, how about it? Did the emperor agree?"

"No," Looking at the little nephew's incredible appearance, Gongsun Wuda shook his head and said, "But the emperor did not directly object. Let's talk about it for a while, you guys, just wait patiently. Well, also, come with me to the martial arts hall, I want to see how your martial arts progress has been."

Gongsun Wuda felt that his hands were itchy. Since the second brother was reluctant to beat him, he would replace him, as the eldest brother. Xiao Lan'er should indeed repair it.

"Uh, uncle," Gongsun Helan was stunned, looked at his uncle, and whispered: "It's better not to do it. It's hot weather, and you'll sweat all over again. Uncle, don't you hate sweating the most?"

"Nothing is said, how can those who practice martial arts be afraid of sweat? Stop talking nonsense, come with me!" Seeing Gongsun Helan pushing and dragging, Gongsun Wuda glared at him slightly and then walked towards the Martial Arts Hall first.

"Uncle, do you really want to fight?" When he arrived at the martial arts hall, Gongsun Helan whispered next to Gongsun Wuda, "If it is injured, it will be bad. I see, let's just forget it, right?"

"There is no match for martial arts competitions and competitions, so don't worry, my uncle has a proper position." He waved his hand to Gongsun Helan generously, and Gongsun Wuda said, "It's rare that I'm interested today. Let's try my fists and feet first. Xiaolan'er, you can take action first."

"This," seeing that Gongsun Wuda was determined to fight him, Gongsun Helan looked around, then shouted to the people on the side with a loud voice: "Xiao Li, Ah Qi, and that so-and-so, get out of the young master and close the door. Don't let anyone in before I compete with the eldest master!"

"Yes, young master, you are mourning!" Gongsun Li responded loudly as if he was accused of making trouble, and then pulled Gongsun Qi and some other servants back out. In their perception, Gongsun Helan was going to be beaten again this time. Judging from the face of the master just now, yes, it's very unkind.

"You little brat, I'll deal with you later!" He glared at Gongsun Li fiercely, and Gongsun Helan obediently returned to Gongsun Wuda, bowed his hand and said to Gongsun Wuda seriously: "Uncle, please!"

"Okay, you can take action first, uncle will give you three moves." Gongsun Wuda stood there casually and nodded lightly to Gongsun Helan.

"Huh, why is there no sound?" Gongsun Li put one ear on the door outside the martial arts hall and asked softly to Gongsun Qi beside him: "Uncle Qi, didn't the young master scream loudly before? Why is it so abnormal this time? Could it be that the master kept his hand?"

"With the character of the master, how could he hold back? I see, it is our young master Helan who has grown up and knows to endure it," Gongsun Qi stroked his beard and stood by the door and said to Gongsun Li: "Young Master drove us out just now. Don't you just want us to see him beating him by the master? Well, the young master is already like a man."

"Men? I'm afraid they will get more beaten. I think the young master seems to have become stupid. If he doesn't scream cleverly, wouldn't he be beaten up by the master?" Thinking about the strength of Gongsun Wuda's subordinates, Gongsun Li shivered. Ordinary people can't take it twice.

"Uh, what you said makes sense," Gongsun Qi looked at Gongsun Li meaningfully and said, "When you were having a conversation with me, were half of those screaming sounds pretending?"

"No, the conscience of heaven and earth is that Uncle Qi, you are too heavy to take action. That is to me, if someone else is, who can stand your punch?" Seeing that he missed, Gongsun Li hurriedly explained to Gongsun Qi.

"Hmm? What are you two doing here?" While the two were talking, Gongsun Wuda opened the door and walked out from inside. Gongsun Helan was swollen with his eyes, crooked his legs, and followed behind him. It seemed that he was beaten up very hard.

"No, nothing, master, young master, are you okay?" After the two of them saluted Gongsun Wuda and Gongsun Helan, Gongsun Qi, the butler, came up and asked softly.

"What can I do? Go and invite a doctor to Xiaolan'er back. Well, I'm a little tired. Go back to the room to rest." After giving a few instructions to Gongsun Qi, Gongsun Wuda walked to the bedroom in the backyard with his hands on his back.

"Young Master, are you okay?" Seeing Gongsun Wuda walk away, Gongsun Li and Gongsun Qi hurriedly came up and carefully supported Gongsun Helan, touching him, for fear that he would suffer some serious injuries.

"What can I do?" He shook the two of them apart, and Gongsun Helan straightened up and said to Gongsun Qi with some smugness: "Uncle Qi, the doctor doesn't need to invite me. I'll give me some medicine for the bruises later. Well, I'm tired too, so I'll go back to my room to rest first."

All the old and the young were like this. Gongsun Qi and Gongsun Li looked at each other for some reason.

However, on that night, there was often a sound of depressing sound, similar to whimpering sounds. Well, it sounded very scary, but no one dared to come up and ask.

Moreover, from this day on, Gongsun Wuda has indulged much more with Gongsun Helan, his little nephew, than before, and he has never mentioned this kind of thing in martial arts competitions.
