Li Shimin ordered the eunuch: "Tell the King of Yue that Lian is resting. If you have anything to do, we will talk about it tomorrow."
"yes."
Seeing the eunuch go out, Li Shimin pulled up Li Chengqian who was kneeling on the ground and asked: "Tell Lian the truth, are you having an ambiguous relationship with that monk?"
"Father, my son likes to be satisfied because he is very knowledgeable in Buddhism. It is definitely not as you imagine. If my father doesn't like him being around my son, I will go back and kick him out of the palace."
"Okay, Lian will trust you for once. You can go back."
"Father, where is your marriage?"
Li Chengqian asked.
"Get that young monk away quickly and then think about getting married. The Fang family and we are family friends. If you don't handle your own affairs well, even if I propose for you, they may not be happy."
"Father, don't worry, I will take care of it right away."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Looking at his son's back, Li Shimin's heart was churning. There was a daughter in the family, Baijiaqiu, and the old Fang family had a daughter. He was very rare. It would be great if he had two daughters, so as not to have to marry his brother for a while.
I will promise it to my brother again.
Although from the bottom of his heart, he prefers Li Tai, but after all, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority, so he still prefers her to become the crown princess. After all, one day when the eldest son ascends the throne, she will be the empress of the world.
But how to explain it to Li Tai?
Between their brothers, he always wanted a bowl of water to be balanced and fair and reasonable.
If he was too biased, it would be very troublesome for them to have rifts between their brothers in the future. Their brothers were living examples and he didn't want history to happen again.
Li Shimin didn't know how to explain it to Li Tai when Li Tai got the news.
It was undoubtedly like a basin of cold water poured over him from head to toe.
In the palace, the distinction between concubines and concubines was still justified, but he and Li Chengqian had the same mother, and he had already received the highest treatment in his career. Would he even have to compete with him for a woman now?
What's even more irritating is Li Shimin. Since he wants to go after the prince, why should he treat him like a monkey? How can he face others if he causes such a thing?
He originally asked him to tell him about the meeting in the East Palace, but instead of seeing him, he changed his mind. How could an emperor change his orders overnight and take his son's marriage as a trivial matter?
He even wanted to rush in and argue with him, but then he thought, a little impatience will ruin a big plan, isn't it just a woman? There are many good women in the world, if there is a rift between Li Shimin and Li Shimin because of this incident, how can he hope to be able to do it in the future?
Have a good future?
"Second brother, you won't be angry, right?"
Li Chengqian asked him proudly when he saw that he didn't say anything for a long time.
"Why am I angry? We are brothers, and you are my brother. Not to mention a woman, even if you want your brother to die for you, I will do it."
Li Tai's mouth felt like honey, and Li Chengqian's heart felt warm as he spoke.
Li Chengqian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you very much. I know you won't care about me. Brother, when I meet a good woman one day, I will beg her for you."
He must establish an image of a benevolent and moral gentleman for himself. As for the contest with Li Chengqian, it will be a long process.
Now that Li Chengqian is leaving quickly, Li Tai feels lost inside.
Is it important that he was born a year earlier? The position of prince was given to him, but a good woman should also be given to him? What kind of world is this?
I was extremely depressed, and seeing that it was getting late, I hurried to Queen Changsun's place.
Since returning to Prince Yue's Mansion from Ji Palace, he has resumed the massage activity for Empress Changsun every evening, and also helps her take care of her younger brother Li Zhi.
Although he knew that this child would be the emperor in the future according to historical records, he still pretended to love him very much. If he wanted to change history, he had to start with this child. He hoped that he would get seriously ill or something would happen to him.
Something unexpected.
Unfortunately, Li Zhi grew up very healthy. He was very well-behaved and had a gentle personality, as gentle as a girl. He never left the maid by his side. He could only make him happy against his will, but in fact he hated him very much in his heart.
"Tair, come."
When Empress Changsun suddenly saw her second son, her face blossomed and she called him gently.
"Queen mother, let me give you a massage."
"No need, there are so many maids and eunuchs in the palace, how can you waste time with my mother every day? I heard that you have been copying Wang Xizhi's calligraphy recently?"
Li Tai replied: "Yes, mother, where is the original work? I really want to see it."
When it comes to Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface", Li Tai's psychological activities are very complicated. From modern times to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the origin lies in it. Now he copies it, just because he wants to surpass him in calligraphy one day.
"How does mother know? I heard that it was collected by someone. All it takes is a sample. The current copy is no worse than the original. Son, how are you doing with your studies recently?"
Seeing that Empress Changsun was concerned about his studies, Li Tai immediately cheered up and said, "That's right, the teacher Wang Gui that my father recently hired for his son is a very knowledgeable person."
Empress Changsun said happily: "That's good. Not only should you study classics and history, but you should also learn some military knowledge, such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War", which may be useful one day."
"Mother, now that the world is at peace, there is no use in learning the art of war. My father governs the world with benevolence and righteousness, and there is little use for such books."
"Tai'er, learning the art of war is also an exposition, and the art of war is also a classic. My mother advises you not to distinguish so clearly. The knowledge you learn does not necessarily have to be applied. All knowledge in the world has no boundaries."
At this time, they saw Li Shimin coming angrily. Empress Changsun quickly stood up to greet her. Li Tai stood beside her, wondering who had offended him again.
"My son has met my father."
Li Shimin waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, and he also sat down beside him.
"Your Majesty, what's going on? What happened?"
Li Shimin said: "I'm really mad at this damn Wei Zheng."
Li Tai thought he was angry about his marriage to the prince. When he heard that it was related to Wei Zheng, he hurriedly asked with a smile: "Father, he must have criticized you again, right?"
"Yes, recently a court official reported that Hu An, the chief of Lingnan, was rebelling. I issued an edict and asked people to go and conquer it, but he strongly opposed it, saying that I was just listening to one side and that Hu An was not rebelling. What he did was to expose me in front of the ministers.
Loss of face."
Li Tai said: "It turns out that this is for this matter. Your Majesty, Lord Wei's analysis makes sense. Lingnan is a land of testicles. Now our Tang Dynasty is rich and our monarchs and ministers are united. If he rebels, he will undoubtedly hit an egg with an egg against a stone. Why bring humiliation to himself?"
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at each other in surprise and asked in surprise: "Tai'er, aren't you devoted to reading sages' books? How do you know this?"
