Li Shimin was surprised. Could it be that he had heard about his acceptance of the Yang family?
No way? Who would tell him such a thing?
However, he can't say that he has executed her? Wouldn't that be deceiving the emperor?
When he was in a dilemma, he heard Li Tai say: "Grandpa Huang, I like this aunt very much. My father asked her to be my teacher, but my grandson can't live without her?"
"Oh, really? What's so special about her? Tell me."
Li Yuan asked with a loving look on his face.
Li Tailang said: "Grandpa Huang, my son is very interested in Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. My aunt is unparalleled in this aspect and has become her disciple."
Li Tai said as he glanced at Li Shimin, wouldn't he be unhappy if he defended him like this? Then look at the aloof Li Yuan, since his grandson needs her, how dare he ask for someone else?
Besides, it is illegal for a daughter-in-law to serve her father-in-law according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
"That's it, that's good, that's good."
Li Yuan was unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.
"Father, I have already ordered you to select thirty beautiful women from the south of the Yangtze River to accompany you. We will arrive in Chang'an soon."
Li Yuan blushed and said with an embarrassed look: "Isn't this too ostentatious? I am already a declining person, so why bother to mobilize troops?"
"Father, since the death of your mother, you have not had anyone to take care of you. Some of your concubines have grown old. This is a sign of filial piety."
Li Yuan smiled "hehe" and said: "In that case, Lian will accept it."
Li Shimin pulled Li Tai and said: "Father, this child is still young and has no intention of harming you. Please clarify this matter in the morning tomorrow to avoid any negative impact and have a long future."
Is there any reason for Li Yuan not to agree? He nodded quickly and said: "This is a family matter of our Li family, and we cannot allow others to make irresponsible remarks. People, it will be an auspicious day in three days, and a grand ceremony for the crown prince will be held in the palace. I will tell you to go down and let
The chamberlain is well prepared."
"Father, the only thing I have done here is to ask Tai'er to apologize to you. I think that the affairs of the prince and King Qi should be taken care of first. There is no harm in delaying the crowning of the prince to save the world.
gossip."
After saying that, he prostrated on the ground, looking heartbroken.
What is he doing? He has been looking forward to such a day for so long, but he is still giving it up. Isn't he afraid of long nights and many dreams?
"Father, what are you doing? The emperor wants to make you the prince. This is for the sake of the country and the country. The court cannot live without a prince for a day, so as not to cause misunderstandings to some people."
When Li Shimin heard this, he was shocked. Such words came out of the mouth of a child. Is this child so different from before?
Li Yuan originally wanted to follow Li Shimin's wishes, but he didn't think so. Immediately naming him the crown prince would only make Li Shimin more arrogant and greatly weaken his power.
The fact that this little bastard would say something like this made him have to follow what he meant.
"Shimin, what Tai'er said makes sense. A country cannot live without a prince for a day. The funeral of the prince and King Qi is a national mourning, which does not conflict with the title of prince. Besides, isn't this exactly what you want?"
After saying that, he let out a long sigh.
"Now that the father has made up his mind, I would like to express my gratitude to the emperor for his grace."
After saying that, "Pengpengpeng" kowtowed three times.
Li Tai also followed suit, kowtowed three times and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Yuan added: "Where is Liu Wenjing? Shimin, you don't want to deal with him, do you?"
"Don't dare, father, Liu Wenjing has contributed to our Li family, how could I do it? Regarding what happened today, I had no choice but to do it. If I don't take action, sooner or later they will take action against my son."
"Okay, don't explain anymore. Future generations will judge whether it's right or wrong. Go down, I'm tired."
Li Shimin replied: "My son, please retire."
After saying that, he took Li Tai's hand and exited the Tai Chi Palace.
Along the way, he felt uneasy in his heart. He looked at his fourth son trotting along and was filled with joy.
"Father, my child is doing well, right?"
Li Tai could tell that Li Shimin was happy.
How can he be unhappy? Isn't his purpose in this life to be a prince? Now that he has finally cleared all the obstacles and is on the verge of achieving enlightenment, how can he be unhappy?
Li Shimin stroked his head and said, "I'm glad, Tai'er, how did you think of asking your aunt to be your teacher?"
Li Tai laughed "hehe" twice and said, "Father, I'm talking nonsense. Father likes my aunt, and I know that. How can I make you sad, father?"
Li Shimin praised: "My pain for this child is not in vain."
Passing by the entrance of the East Palace, I saw Wei Zheng still standing facing the wall, exactly the same posture as when they left just now.
"Father, what are you doing, Mr. Wei?"
"He was thinking about it while facing the wall. He regretted very much that he had not been a good military advisor to the prince. He is such a weirdo and is always reflecting on himself."
After hearing this, Li Tai said unceremoniously: "If he is loyal to the prince, he should accompany the prince to death."
Li Shimin's face darkened and he said, "Tai'er, this is too much. He is a great person."
Of course he is a character. Throughout history, Wei Zheng has a very high evaluation. In "Journey to the West", there is also a story about Li Shimin being rescued by Wei Zheng.
"It's a pity that he can't be used by my father. So what if he is a talent?"
Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "Who said he won't be of use to me? He is from the East Palace. I will become the prince in three days, and the Palace of Prince Qin will be the East Palace. But it is you. What is going on? You are talking and doing things at a young age.
It turns out to be the style of an adult."
Nonsense, he traveled through time with the thinking of a modern person. Although he only looks like a six-year-old, he actually thinks like an adult.
"Father, although I am young, I have been carefully educated by you and my mother-in-law, so I am very careful."
"Okay, you are better than your brother."
When Li Tai heard this, he thought, Oh my god, he finally admitted that Li Chengqian was not as good as him.
"Thank you for the compliment. I would like to congratulate you first."
As he spoke, Li Tai knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Congratulations to my father on becoming the prince."
Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng, who was still standing aside, pulled him up and said, "It's too early to congratulate this kid. It's just a talk. It won't matter until the actual canonization day."
"That's not something that happens right away."
Li Shimin ignored him and walked up to Wei Zheng and said: "Master Wei, people cannot be resurrected after death. If you think about your mistakes so piously, my brother already knows it under Jiuquan. Why do you do this?"
Wei Zheng said seriously: "Your Highness, King Qin, if it weren't for the eighty-year-old mother at home, I would have followed the prince long ago. The prince treated me well in the past, but I did not try my best to help him. It was really derelict in my duty. As a minister, I failed to protect the prince.
, I really feel ashamed of Your Majesty."
This old Wei Zi is really good at pretending.
Li Tai looked at Li Shimin and said to Wei Zheng: "Master Wei, why do you have to be so humble? You will still be as glorious as ever if you follow my father."
