He ignored the unwashed dishes and chopsticks and walked out angrily.
Zhao Chen held the teacup and looked a little embarrassed when he saw Lao Litou being so annoyed.
Isn't this just for him?
Why are you still angry?
He thought to himself that if he were the prince, he would certainly have the confidence to govern the Tang Dynasty.
But that’s not the problem. You, Mr. Li Tou, are not an emperor.
Everyone is just an ordinary person.
Why think about whether these things are available or not?
…
When Li Zhengdian was established, Li Shimin came in angrily from outside.
Empress Changsun was copying Zhao Chen's words "The bamboo stick and mango shoes are easier than the horse, who is afraid? You can live your whole life in the mist and rain" by Zhao Chen.
Seeing Li Shimin like this, he immediately put down his pen and ink and turned away from everyone who was waiting on him.
Li Shimin said nothing, standing in front of the bronze mirror in Queen Changsun's palace, his brows furrowed tightly.
Queen Changsun secretly said that it was Zhao Chen who said something again that made His Majesty so angry.
"Mr. Guanyin, I have really grown old. I will never see the same person again." Li Shimin turned his back to Queen Changsun and sighed softly.
What was reflected in the bronze mirror was a middle-aged man with a slightly stout figure.
If it weren't for his sharp eyes and majestic expression, he wouldn't be much different from ordinary people.
There is not even half of the appearance of ruling the world as the courtiers said.
Li Shimin suddenly realized the reason why Zhao Chen said he had a brain problem.
An ordinary citizen actually asks about the world's political affairs. How can his brain be cured?
"That kid Zhao Chen is also talking without meaning. Your Majesty, don't think too much about it." Empress Changsun comforted her.
"I didn't think much about it. That guy was right. Isn't it crazy for me to discuss political affairs with him like this?" Li Shimin shook his head.
"His Majesty……"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the King of Yue wants to see you." The eunuch's voice came from outside the palace.
Empress Changsun was stunned and looked at Li Shimin.
"What is this kid Qingque doing here?" Li Shimin frowned and said calmly: "Let him come in."
"My son, Li Tai, pays homage to the emperor and the queen." Li Tai saluted the two of them with a smile on his face.
"No courtesy." Li Shimin waved his hand and said.
"How come Qingque has time to come here today?" Queen Changsun asked with a smile.
She really likes the child Qingque.
He is extremely smart, humble and polite, and has the same demeanor as Li Shimin back then.
"My son wanted to come and pay homage to his mother today, so he took advantage of the afternoon to come over."
"I didn't expect my father to be here too." Li Tai said with a smile.
"I just came here too." Li Shimin nodded.
The children in his family are all very filial.
In fact, why did Li Tai come to see Empress Changsun? He just wanted to meet Li Shimin.
There was no trace of the previous promise to make him King of Wei until today.
Li Tai was anxious.
Once he is promoted to King of Wei, the courtiers will surely see more hope in him.
This will help him develop his power.
He came here today because he actually wanted to ask Li Shimin to grant him the title of King of Wei.
Of course, these words cannot be said directly.
He, Li Tai, is not that stupid.
"Father is wearing casual clothes. I think he just came back from the palace." Li Tai said with a smile.
What he said was against his will. If he hadn't known that Li Shimin had come back from outside and arrived at the Li Zheng Hall, he would not have come here at this time.
"I just came out of the palace incognito. I was a little tired, so I came to your mother's palace to rest for a while." Li Shimin nodded.
It's good to be tired, but when you're tired, Li Tai can come in handy.
"My father works hard on state affairs every day, and my sons and ministers can't help me much. I feel really guilty."
"It's a coincidence that I just learned the ancient method of foot soaking and massage from an ancient prescription. It can relieve fatigue. Why don't you let me soak your father's feet?" Li Tai said to Li Shimin with a smile.
Because of obesity, the flesh on the face is also crowded together.
"Oh? Qingque has such a wide range of interests?" Li Shimin suddenly became interested.
"Father, I will give you a foot massage for my father." Seeing that Li Shimin was interested, Li Tai was overjoyed.
As he said this, a eunuch brought in a basin of hot water.
"Father, I will take off your shoes." After saying that, Li Tai knelt in front of Li Shimin and took off Li Shimin's shoes with both hands.
Seeing Li Tai being so filial, Li Shimin was deeply moved.
"Qingque, you are serious." Li Shimin said slowly.
"It is my great honor to be able to wash my father's feet." Li Tai said with a smile.
Li Tai tested the water temperature and found it was just right before putting Li Shimin's feet into the basin.
Empress Changsun looked on with a look of relief on her face.
"Qingque, my mother is very happy that you are so filial." Empress Changsun said with a smile.
"Mother's words are serious. Qingque cannot be like the emperor brother, worrying about state affairs for the father. He can only wash the father's feet and fulfill his filial piety." Li Tai said with a smile.
"I'm very satisfied with your thoughts." Li Shimin nodded and glanced at Li Tai.
There was warmth in the palace.
"Father, I have to take my leave now. If my father needs me, please summon me at any time." After the massage, Li Tai said goodbye to Li Shimin, sweating profusely.
I thought to myself that after working so hard, I should mention my position.
"Thank you for your hard work, Qingque. I understand." Li Shimin smiled and nodded.
Early the next morning, a decree was announced at the court meeting: "Li Tai, King of Yue, is respectful, filial and humble, and is granted the title of King of Wei..."
…
The fact that Li Taijin was granted the title of King of Wei caught many people by surprise.
Is His Majesty the Emperor planning to cultivate the power of King Wei?
Are you ready to let the King of Wei compete with the Crown Prince?
For a moment, people's hearts were filled with excitement in the court hall.
Many people went to Prince Wei's Mansion to show their hospitality.
But Li Tai was not at Prince Wei's residence tonight, but went to Changsun Wuji's residence.
The last time Changsun Wuji expressed goodwill to him, it made Li Tai realize that Changsun Wuji might be able to win over to his side.
Changsun Wuji is an important force. If he can use it for himself, then...
Li Tai thought happily and went to Changsun Mansion that night.
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei is here. I am sorry for the delay in greeting you. Please forgive me." Changsun Wuji was obviously a little surprised by Li Tai's arrival.
However, Li Tai is gaining power now, and he might be able to replace him.
Now that the eggs have been placed in two baskets, Changsun Wuji doesn't want to regret it again at this time.
"Uncle is joking. Qingque is here just to visit uncle. There is no King of Wei today." Li Tai said with a smile.
Changsun Wuji nodded, had the banquet prepared, and the two of them took their seats.
After drinking for three rounds, Changsun Wuji asked curiously: "Although Your Majesty has discussed with us before and said that he would make Qingque King of Wei, there has been no movement for a long time."
"I don't know why there is news today, but what happened?"
Changsun Wuji was curious.
Why did something that had been silent for nearly a month suddenly happen again?
He always thought that the emperor had given up on deposing the crown prince.
This also made his eldest son Wuji feel a lot more relaxed. After all, he still wanted Li Chengqian to firmly sit on the throne of the prince.
But this letter from King Wei sent a bad signal.
Changsun Wuji wanted to know what went wrong.
"Hey, uncle, you don't know, today I washed my father's feet and gave them a massage."
"My father was in a good mood, so he made me King of Wei." Li Tai said with a smile.
He was not wary of Changsun Wuji.
After all, he didn't expect that Changsun Wuji would please both sides.
"Qingque, since you are so filial, it is only natural for Jin to be granted the title of King of Wei."
"Come, uncle, I respect you." Changsun Wuji raised his glass and said.
But I was thinking in my heart, if Li Chengqian also washed the emperor's feet, would he be able to win the game?
