Chapter 10: Li Er, is your mind okay?

Li Shimin remained skeptical about the rebellion of Luo Yi's men and the flood in Chang'an. He needed to figure out these two things as soon as possible.

"Concubine Yin, I was worried about national affairs and lost my temper. Please get up quickly."

Li Shimin personally bowed and stretched out his hands to help Concubine Yin up.

Then he said to the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards behind him: "You all should step back. I want to go alone with Concubine Yin and You'er."

As Li Shimin spoke, he was also thinking in his heart.

If Luo Yi's men can really persuade them to rebel, then Luo Yi's rebellion is really not a big deal, and he doesn't have to worry too much.

However, the Chang'an flood must be taken seriously as it is related to people's livelihood.

Li Shimin looked at Li You again. In his opinion, Li You was so murmuring that he probably already had an idea in his mind, maybe there was a better way!

【???Why is Li Erze staring at me again, and this look in his eyes...eh~~~】

[I don’t usually come here, but in the past two days, I have come every day, which has seriously disturbed the happy life of our mother and son!]

[You have to take a walk even after eating. Did you eat too much or something? Leave quickly! If you don’t leave, the other concubines in the harem will probably be jealous. 】

Li Shimin's face darkened.

He found that Li You didn't have a good word for him as the emperor plus me.

Education has failed!

But now he has no mind to care about this.

But I am eager to know more about Li You's thoughts. Since you don't tell me, I am the only one who can ask.

Li Shimin looked at Li You and said, "You'er, I have never paid attention to your studies. Today I will test you. Instead of testing books and allusions, I will test your strategy. What do you think?"

【Not so? Not good at all!】

[I just want you to disappear from my eyes now!]

【What does disappear mean? Do you understand? 】

Naturally, Li Shimin heard this, but he had no intention of giving up and continued: "Youer, if you were me, how would you deal with Luo Yi and the Chang'an flood?"

When Li You heard this question, he was stunned for a moment.

He never expected that Li Shimin would actually ask him about matters governing the country.

[Isn’t your body a dandy, rebellious, and uneducated? 】

[For such children, shouldn’t they be scolded severely and then let them get away as far as they want?]

[Why are you starting to ask yourself about the important matters of your home and country now? 】

[Aren’t you afraid of harming the country and the people? Is my character broken? Or is Li Er stupid? 】

[Li Er, is your mind okay? 】

"Ahem!" Li Er coughed violently.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Yin quickly stepped forward to help.

"I'm fine." Li Shimin waved his hand, continued to look at Li You and said, "You'er, you haven't answered me yet."

Seeing how persistent Li Shimin was, Li You could only make himself look stupid.

"Reporting to my father, I am too stupid to make any assumptions."

[What does Li Er mean? It’s like I didn’t say it. If I really said it, would you dare to listen? 】

[That’s it? Still an emperor for eternity? It’s a long way from it. 】

Li Shimin now has a certain immunity to Li You's complaints. Even after listening to Li You's words, he can even have a smile on his face.

"It's okay, I forgive you for not being guilty, just say it boldly."

Li Shimin said proudly.

You have trained me on my endurance, but I am still afraid of listening to you?

Seeing this, Concubine Yin on the side was a little surprised.

You must know that Li You is really mediocre among the princes, and due to his special background and status, he is not favored by Li Shimin at all.

Father and son never see each other twice a year. Li Shimin doesn't care about Li You at all and has basically given up.

But today was different from usual. Although Li Shimin came to see him, in fact most of his thoughts were on Li You, and he asked Li You one after another about important affairs of his family and country.

Under normal circumstances, this should be the treatment that only Prince Li Chengqian and King of Han Li Ke would have!

Of course, if Li You answers well, Concubine Yin has nothing to worry about, but the key is that Li You answers very casually every time, even a little...stupid.

Even though Concubine Yin doesn't know much about family and country affairs, she still has basic political analysis skills as a royal concubine.

Even she could see this, couldn't Li Shimin see it?

This made Concubine Yin very worried.

If Li You continues to answer like this, Li Shimin may be completely disappointed in his son.

"Hey~" Concubine Yin sighed secretly in her heart.

Although Concubine Yin did not expect Li You to be very successful, she only wanted him to become a wealthy prince in the Tang Dynasty, so that she would have someone to rely on and think about.

But now it seems that even this idea cannot be realized.

Li You himself was also very annoyed when Li Er suddenly asked him about Luo Yi's rebellion and the Chang'an flood.

Although he is very clear about these things, he certainly cannot tell the truth. After all, he still has to maintain the persona of a playboy prince.

There is no other way but to make it up.

The purpose is to deceive a little bit, but in the worst case, just pretend to be dumbfounded.

Li You continued to pretend not to be very smart.

"Father, if you insist on my son telling me, I will have no choice but to say it. But if there is something wrong, please forgive me." Li You said: "My son thought that Luo Yi's rebellion was not enough evidence, so he sent two generals. Just conquer it."

After listening, Li Shimin nodded slightly. Li You said it but didn't seem to say anything.

When there is a rebellion, everyone knows that they have to send generals to put it down!

It's completely nonsense.

It's not too late for Li Shimin now. He has now mastered the rules of Li You's character.

After waiting calmly for a moment, Li You's voice soon reached his mind through the jade copy of the notes in his hand.

[Haha, our acting skills are definitely at the level of a movie actor, and Li Er will never see through it.]

[As I said before, this guy Luo Yi has no basis for evidence. I suddenly remembered that at this time, Luo Yi’s food and grass should have been taken away by the Turks. Luo Yi is busy blocking the news at the moment. As long as the news is spread out at this time , and if he continues to alienate his subordinates, I am afraid someone will offer Luo Yi’s head the next day.】

Li Shimin heard everything Li You was thinking.

Luo Yi's food and grass were actually taken away by the Turks. I don't even know this news. How did Li You know?

After listening to this, Li Shimin was even more shocked.

This is exactly what he thought!

You must know that Luo Yi has an army of 200,000 Yanyun in his hands, and his strength is definitely not weak. He is also a hero of his generation, but now his fate has been decided in just a few words from Li You!

How could Li Shimin not be shocked by this!

"Okay! Okay! Great!"

Li Shimin stroked his beard and laughed!

???

Concubine Yin looked at Li Shimin who was laughing and was very confused.

She also heard what Li You just said, and it could be summed up in four words: send troops to quell the chaos.

Isn't this just nonsense?
