Li Shimin ignored the delicious food in front of him, put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Li You with a smile, and asked:
"You'er, do you think the Turks will invade our borders of the Tang Dynasty?"
When Concubine Yin saw Li Shimin asking Li You for advice, she thought it was Li Shimin who was taking the exam for Li You, which also showed that Li Shimin wanted to focus on cultivating Li You!
He quickly smiled and said: "You'er, now that you are a prince participating in politics, you should talk more about things in the court with your father, and you can also tell your father about your wonderful ideas. I don’t understand the affairs of the court, but your father understands!”
Li You had just finished eating a piece of mutton roll. When he raised his head and met the earnest eyes of these two people, he suddenly looked confused.
【??!!】
[Li Er, be good! Promise me, we won’t make trouble and have a good hot pot, okay? 】
[Mom, it’s okay for Li Er to be stupid, why did you follow me? 】
[Shouldn’t I be incompetent and incompetent in your eyes? Why are you asking us again? 】
[Is it because my character is already unstable? Did Li Er see the flaw? 】
[No, no, for the sake of your own happy life, you must find a way to fool Li Er. 】
Um?!
Stupid? Some people dare to say that they are stupid!
Li Shimin listened to Li You's inner murmur, and suddenly felt a surge of anger rushing towards Tianling Gai!
In other words, this is Li You.
If it had been Prince Li Chengqian, King Wei Li Tai or King Li Ke of Han, Li Shimin would have slapped him in the face.
Then they rushed to Beiyuan and locked them up.
Li You seemed to have noticed something was wrong with Li Shimin's aura. He pretended to think deeply and then said: "I think my father is right. Since the Turks have signed the Weishui Alliance with the Tang Dynasty, they will naturally not invade it." In the Tang Dynasty borderland, we just need to immerse ourselves in farming and develop well!"
"My father is as wise and powerful as the First Emperor and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. I believe that even the gods in the sky are on your side!"
"The Turks are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. Soon, my father will be able to defeat the Turks in one fell swoop!"
[Hehe, you can’t believe that the official statement is also first-class.]
[The logic is rigorous, the wording is reasonable, and there is no exaggeration at all. I don’t think Li Er can find anything wrong with it. 】
[There is a saying that says, ‘If you want to be promoted quickly, you need flattery.’ Let’s change it to say, ‘If you want to fool Li Er, you need flattery.’ Hehe! 】
[Li Er must be very happy after hearing this. If he is not happy, there must be a problem, so we should be careful. 】
Ahem!
It’s all nonsense, none of it is useful!
If Li Shimin couldn't hear Li You's inner thoughts, he would indeed be happy because of these words, but...when Li Shimin heard Li You's true thoughts, these words felt particularly disgusting.
Good boy, you must be sincerely disgusting with me.
Don't be angry, don't be angry, this is your biological son! This is your biological son!
Li Shimin suppressed his anger and kept thinking in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Well, Youer's analysis is very accurate, and I am deeply impressed!"
!!??
As soon as these words came out.
Except for Li You who happily ate hot pot and didn't take it seriously, everyone else was shocked!
An embarrassed smile appeared on Concubine Yin's face. Although she didn't know much about the important affairs of the court, she still knew very clearly what was useless talk and what was flattery. What Youer just said was a standard template for flattery. Your Majesty is so complimentary!
The two princesses of Xiangcheng and Ankang were also stunned. In their minds, their father didn't like flatterers, right?
The most shocked ones were Li Junxian and Wang Ling.
One of them is Li Shimin's personal bodyguard, and the other is Li Shimin's confidant eunuch. They should be regarded as the people who know Li Shimin best.
but....
Now I also look at Li Shimin with admiration.
The two looked at each other and saw a look of understanding in each other's eyes.
It turns out that His Majesty likes others to flatter him!
Now I know how to please His Majesty.
Li Junxian immediately took a step forward, clasped his fists in salute, and said loudly: "I also think what His Highness King Yan said is reasonable! Under His Majesty's wise governance, our Tang Dynasty will surely be able to achieve peace and prosperity for the country and the people, with strong troops and strong horses, and to defeat the Turks!"
Not willing to lag behind, Wang Ling hurriedly followed up and said in a high-pitched voice: "Your Majesty is so powerful that he is comparable to Yao and Shun. He is truly a sage through the ages!"
After hearing what these two people said, Li Shimin's face was full of black lines.
Originally, Li Shimin should be happy to be praised by others, but when he thought of the words in Li You's heart, he became extremely angry, and these compliments were particularly harsh in his ears.
Since you can't say anything about that kid Li You, if you two happened to hit the muzzle of a gun, then you can't blame me.
Bang!
Li Shimin's long-pressed anger suddenly burst out, and he slammed his right hand on the table.
"What nonsense are you two talking about?" Li Shimin said angrily: "The country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the troops and horses are strong. Are you just talking about it? We can also defeat the Turks. If we really have that strength, we will not be beaten to the banks of the Wei River by the Turks!"
Li Junxian pouted and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know my guilt!"
"And you!" Li Shimin dealt with Li Junxian and then turned his attention to Wang Ling, "Compared to Yao and Shun, the eternal sage! Why do you have the nerve to say it? I blush when I hear it!"
Wang Ling knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
"The Turks will never be extinguished! Whoever dares to talk nonsense in front of me again will be severely punished by me!" Li Shimin said angrily.
Phew~
Sure enough, when he was in a bad mood, he had to vent his anger. After roaring, Li Shimin's mood improved a lot.
"Let them both kneel down." Li Shimin sat down slowly, "Come on, let's continue eating."
Li Junxian and Wang Ling knelt on the ground and looked at each other again. This time they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
They didn't understand why King Yan made His Majesty happy by flattering him, but the two of them flattered him directly on the horse's hooves.
"You'er, I've been having strange dreams for the past two days. I dreamed that I turned into a golden dragon, but I was always harassed by a vulture, which made me restless and sleepless. Could this be a sign that something big will happen on the border? ?”
In order to make Li You say or think about what he wants, Li Shimin's operation is full of crazy hints!
Li Youzheng picked up a fragrant potato slice from the pot. Before he could eat it, he heard Li Shimin's words and suddenly took a breath!
He turned his head and looked at Li Shimin in shock.
[Damn it! This is so evil! 】
[The golden dragon represents Li Er and the Tang Dynasty. Needless to say, the vulture represents the Turks. The vultures harass the golden dragon. Doesn’t this mean that the Turks want to invade the Tang Dynasty? Li Shimin can actually dream. Is it really true that the gods are standing by Li Er? This side? That’s not right! The gods are all made up by us, what a god!]
[But Li Er can dream warnings, how to explain this? 】
