After returning to the palace from Qin Mansion, Li Tai went directly to Taiji Palace to find Queen Changsun. He wanted to tell her about recognizing Qin Qiong as his master.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin was also there. Seeing his excited face, he asked, "Where does Tai'er come from? What's the happy event? Tell me and listen."
Li Tai took the tea from Ying'er and said, "To tell you what my father is saying, I just came back from the Qin Mansion and I have something important to report to you. By chance, you are here."
After saying that, he drank all the tea in the cup in one breath. Because he was walking in a hurry and because he was fatter than other children of the same age, he was a little out of breath.
Empress Changsun said with a loving face: "Speak slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Li Tai paused and said: "My son is now the apprentice of General Qin. He just taught me a trick passed down by the ancestors of the Qin family."
He originally thought he would be praised by Li Shimin, but Li Shimin frowned and said, "Tai'er, as a prince, you are not allowed to come in and out of the minister's house casually, do you understand?"
What's wrong with him? He was very close to Qin Qiong when he was the king of Qin? Is it because he didn't support him in launching the Xuanwumen coup? Is he prejudiced against him?
Just as he was puzzled, Li Shimin asked: "Where did you learn the secret technique passed down by the ancestors of the Qin family?"
"My father didn't know anything about the martial arts training ground in his backyard. It was a big place with horses, arrow targets, knives, guns, swords, etc. It just didn't seem to have a hammer."
Originally, he wanted to continue talking, but when he saw Li Shimin's expression being very unhappy, he quickly shut up.
"Now that the world is at peace, we only need civil rule, not martial rule, doesn't he know? This Qin Qiong, I am not kind to him, why would he go against me?"
"Father, he said that people who practice martial arts will feel uncomfortable if they don't practice martial arts for a day. His son is only over four years old, and he is already teaching him martial arts."
Queen Changsun stopped her and said, "Tai'er, you are tired, go back and rest."
Li Tai also wanted to praise Qin Qiong a few words, but when Ying'er winked at him, he quickly said goodbye to the couple.
He was very uneasy after leaving Tai Chi Palace. Did he cause trouble for Qin Qiong? If that was the case, he deserved it.
The night passed very uneasily.
After school the next day, I came to Tai Chi Palace in the name of giving Changsun Huang a massage.
Queen Changsun taught him: "Tai'er, you are not young anymore. Shouldn't you be more cautious?"
"Mother, what happened? Isn't General Qin the benefactor of our Li family? Why does my father seem to dislike him?"
"Son, people will change. In the past, your father recruited heroes from all over the world. Now that your father is the emperor, there is peace in the world and there is no need for so many generals. Besides, who among the people in the world is willing to suffer from war. As a minister, I have learned in private
It is a taboo to station troops in force."
It turned out to be like this. This was something he never expected.
"I understand, my son, and I will pay attention to it in the future. Queen Mother, are you not happy that my father is also happy that I worship General Qin as my disciple?"
"No. The Queen Mother knows that you have developed feelings for him during your trip to Lingnan this time. General Qin is a rare loyal and brave man. It is understandable that you like him. But you must know that your father does not like his son to have close contact with ministers. In the future, you
It’s best not to look for him again.”
Li Tai was dissatisfied, but still agreed: "Okay, I understand."
Although he agreed verbally, he felt itchy when he thought of a martial arts training ground as big as the Qin Mansion. A person must not only have literary talent, but also martial arts. If Li Shimin had not been able to ride and shoot on horseback, would he be where he is today?
After school that day, he secretly took Wang Xiaoyang to the Qin Mansion.
"His Royal Highness the King of Yue, the gate of the Qin Mansion is closed. It seems that there is no one around."
Wang Xiaoyang originally went to report the situation first, but then came back on horseback.
"No way, it's only been a few days and the whole family is gone?"
Li Tai drove his horse forward, and sure enough, two large iron locks locked the door tightly.
Could it be?
A terrible thought flashed in his mind. Could it be that his words had brought disaster to their family? No, Li Shimin was a benevolent and righteous king, and he could not do anything that would harm the hero after his success.
When he went to school the next day, he quietly asked his teacher Wang Gui: "Teacher, are there any changes in the government recently?"
Wang Gui sighed and said: "You are a prince, don't you know the important affairs of the court?"
Li Tai shook his head and said, "I don't know. It seems that Duke Yi's family has been away from the capital recently. Did he offend the emperor?"
"Your Highness King Wei, don't you know that this is all your fault?"
Li Tai was stunned when he heard that the trouble in the Qin family was indeed related to him.
"Teacher, what happened to them? Duke Yi Guo is a hero of the Tang Dynasty. What mistake did he make?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Yue, I heard that you went to the Qin Mansion secretly. The Emperor sent someone to check on the manor. He said that he was stationing troops secretly and was disloyal. Now he has been demoted to his hometown in Shandong to raise him for a thousand years."
"this?……"
When Li Tai heard this, he felt extremely regretful.
After all, it was because of his lack of perspective and ignorance of human affairs that he actually caused their family to be driven out of Chang'an City.
Human nature is good and evil. Li Shimin is indeed not a good person, but because he has a private martial arts training ground, do you think he has a rebellious heart? Isn't this too arbitrary?
I'm afraid that he has been dissatisfied with him for a long time and found such an excuse to drive him away.
The heart of an emperor is like a needle in the sea. It’s true.
If the king wants his minister to die, he must die. In that dynasty, if one treated one's benefactors like this, let alone others?
While he was feeling sad, Li Chengqian came over and said with a smile: "Brother Tai, why are you sad? I heard that you recognize Qin Qiong as your teacher. Do you have any other ideas?"
It turns out that he also knew about this, but he didn't.
Power is so important. Only when a person has rights can he do whatever he wants.
He said to Li Chengqian: "Are you laughing at something that happened to General Qin's family? Your Highness, General Qin is the benefactor of our family."
"What happened to the benefactor? Was he a benefactor in the past, is he still a benefactor now?"
Why is this person so ruthless? If he becomes the emperor in the future, will he still remember that they are brothers from the same mother?
Li Tai was about to refute when he heard Wang Gui say: "I have something to announce today. Starting from tomorrow, the prince will have to receive special education, and the king of Wei will have to go to the Imperial Academy to go to school with other princes."
Li Tai's heart skipped a beat. Because of Qin Qiong's incident, he was also implicated?
Li Chengqian gloated and said, "Fourth brother, this is a good thing. You can play with them in the future, and you won't have to study as hard as me."
When Li Tai heard this, he really wanted to spit him out, but after thinking about it, he endured it.
Studying with the prince is a rare honor in itself, so don’t do it.
But he could not be bullied by him and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a great status and will inherit the throne in the future. Naturally, he will have to receive a different education. I am willing to be a green leaf and will support you well."
Li Chengqian said hypocritically: "Actually, I can't bear to let you go, but this is my father's will, and I can only obey it."
