He was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he actually went beyond the rules of etiquette.
Li Tai was secretly happy in his heart. Only by destroying him would he have a chance to rise to power. Although he knew that Li Tai ended badly in history, he had to work hard now that he had a new life.
How to work hard? This is a big problem. After all, some ideas are deeply rooted in people's minds. Even if Li Chengqian cannot become the prince, there are still brothers Li Ke and Li Zhi, who has just arrived in this world, lining up.
Li Tai was worried, and Li Shimin, who was sitting in the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, was also worried.
Facing his father Li Yuan who had been relying on Tai Chi Palace, he was helpless. His throne was not fair enough. He always wanted to change the world's view of him. He adopted Wei Zheng's suggestion of ruling the world with benevolence and tried his best to create a good king loved by the people.
image of.
Facing Li Yuan, who regarded Tai Chi Palace as his personal property, he had a headache.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Taiji Palace has been the place where the emperor met with ministers.
He is the emperor, but he can only live in the East Palace. He does not live up to his reputation. He himself used abnormal means to seize the throne. There is a certain "legitimacy crisis", and there is no doubt that he has never been able to ascend the Taiji Palace.
To a certain extent, the sense of crisis is strengthened.
He must enter the Tai Chi Palace as soon as possible to eliminate physical and mental uneasiness.
At this moment, Li Tai walked in. After returning to the palace from the Great Buddha Temple, Li Chengqian returned to the Zhongshan County Prince's Mansion. He rushed to the East Palace impatiently, wanting to tell his mother, Queen Changsun, about the young monk Li Chengqian brought back from the Great Buddha Temple.
, but unexpectedly came to the Xiande Hall.
Everyone can see that Li Shimin is unhappy.
Is he in trouble? He believes that his unhappiness is definitely not because of women.
At the height of his power, he would only win the admiration of women, wishing he could have his presence every night.
He performed the worship ceremony very obediently and said: "See you, Father, what's wrong with Father? Has Mr. Wei made you unhappy again? The Emperor's dragon body is important, and you don't need to be on the same level as him."
"Don't talk nonsense. If you don't study hard in the palace, why are you here?"
His tone was serious, but his expression was extremely gentle.
Li Tai replied: "I missed my little brother, so I came to see him, and before I knew it, I arrived at my father's place. My father's affairs are heavy, so I must take care of my health. Can I give you a massage to relieve my pain?"
Li Shimin was very pleased: "Okay, my second child is really sensible. The weather is cold today. I have experienced too many wars and have countless scars on my body. Every time it is cloudy, my old disease will relapse."
Li Tai was very happy to see that Li Shimin was very willing to accept his service.
He put his two hands on his shoulders and pressed the Jianjing and Jianzhen points a few times. Li Shimin immediately felt comfortable all over. He closed his eyes slightly and looked like he was enjoying himself.
Li Tai asked him in a low voice: "How are you? Do you feel anything?"
"Yes, tell me father, where did you learn this skill?"
Li Tai smiled and said: "In a dream."
"Oh, is there such a thing? Why haven't you heard of it?"
"Once I met an old man with a white beard in my dream, and he insisted on teaching me massage. Unexpectedly, when I woke up, I tried it on the little eunuch. They all said the effect was very good. If my father is willing, I will give him massage every day.
Come give you a massage."
Li Shimin smiled fondly and said: "This is strange. Everyone dreams about the sun snake and so on, but you learn art in your dreams. Is this true? Why does it sound like a lie?"
Li Tai fell to his knees with a plop and said: "My child, I don't dare. I have been massaging my mother every evening for a whole year, and my mother didn't tell you?"
"No. No wonder she always felt uncomfortable when she was pregnant with your brothers, but now she has never said anything about her discomfort. Son, are you in trouble today?"
"Something's wrong."
Li Tai said seriously.
"What's the matter? You don't want to get married, do you?"
Li Tai said seriously: "Father, I have no other thoughts. I just want to share my father's worries and my country's worries."
Li Shimin pulled him up, put him in his arms, stroked his head and said, "It is not your turn to go through fire and water. There are so many civil servants and generals in the palace, and with their royal salaries, they naturally have to work for the Tang Dynasty.
You just need to study well and learn some skills in governing the country."
"My child obeys the order. Why is the father unhappy? Tell me, and my child will help you solve the problem."
Li Shimin excitedly pushed him away from his arms and said, "Son, I am very satisfied to have you as my father. My father knows that you are smart. Can you guess what worries my father? There will be a reward if you guess right."
Li Tai looked in the direction of Tai Chi Palace and said, "My father wants to attend court in Tai Chi Palace, but Grandpa Huang refuses to move out. Are you worried about this?"
This period of history is recorded in "History of the Tang Dynasty".
"This child is very careful. Since you have seen my father's dilemma, please tell me what you think."
"Father, as the saying goes, beat a dog to see its master. If you want Grandpa Huang to understand your intention, you can put on a good show of killing a chicken to show the monkey."
"Who is the chicken? Who is the monkey?" Li Shimin's eyes were bright.
This child was so smart, he couldn't help but feel very happy. He thought, if Cheng Qian had not been the elder, he would definitely make him the prince.
"Master Pei is a chicken, and Grandpa Huang is a monkey. Everyone knows about their relationship. As long as you touch Master Pei, Grandpa Huang will understand your intentions."
Li Shimin's heart lit up, he picked him up and shouted: "We, father and son, thought of the same thing. This is so strange."
"Father, put me down quickly, I'm tired of you."
Li Tai was once again recognized by Li Shimin and smiled very happily.
Li Shimin hugged him and spun him around a few times without taking a breath.
This man is in extremely good health, and it will take decades to sit in his position.
"How are you? Is your father in good health? Although I don't have the extraordinary arm strength of your uncle Yuanba, I am still a martial arts practitioner. Son, show your father your dragon-binding sword technique."
"Father, have you forgotten that swordsmen are not allowed to enter the palace? I heard that the prince's brother is unwell, and I plan to go and see him after seeing my younger brother."
It is said that Li Shimin is a rare kind father. If he knew that his eldest son was ill, he would not be indifferent, right? Why not take the opportunity to let him see his misdeeds.
"What's up with him?"
Li Shimin became flustered, got up and left.
"He wasn't feeling well after school. I wonder what happened to him? Is Father going to see him?
There was wind at Li Shimin's feet, and Li Tai followed behind him. His steps were too small and he couldn't catch up.
Li Chengqian placed a monk beside him. What would Li Shimin think when he saw it?
Feeling anxious in his heart, he quickened his pace and even started to jog, but he still couldn't keep up with Li Shimin who was in a hurry.
Several eunuchs were talking outside the door. When they suddenly saw the emperor, they were frightened. They were about to report but were stopped by Li Shimin: "No need to report, what's wrong with the prince?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he entered the house.
