This girl must have been spoiled, otherwise she wouldn't be so ignorant.
The Tang Dynasty was an open and civilized country, and the status of women was increasingly comparable to that of men, but she dared to openly compete with the prince, and her domineering look looked a little scary.
No wonder there was a phenomenon in the Tang Dynasty that the emperor’s daughters were worried about getting married.
The most famous one is that his niece Princess Taiping broke up Xue Shao and his wife and forced her to marry him for the rest of her life, leading to a miserable fate.
"Don't talk nonsense. Walls have ears. If it reaches the ears of the prince, it will be troublesome."
"Huh, I'm not afraid if he hears it. Fourth brother, why are you so cowardly? You are also the son of a royal father and a mother, so why can't you be the prince?"
Damn it, is this girl crazy? She actually said such outrageous words.
Li Tai covered her mouth and said: "My sister is talking more and more nonsense. It doesn't matter whoever becomes the prince, as long as the father, the emperor and the queen are happy. Besides, I like to write and write, not political affairs."
"What you say is what you mean. If you are that kind of person, how could you write a poem that is concerned about the country and the people? Why not speak out if you are dissatisfied? Why bother with pretentiousness?"
Li Tai listened to her words becoming more and more outrageous, waved his hand and said, "Sorry, I won't send you far away."
Princess Changle looked at him angrily, stamped her feet and left quickly.
This girl really doesn't know what the sky is and the earth is high, and she will definitely suffer a loss if she speaks without restraint.
However, he didn't agree to help her, so he must have offended her this time.
Then I thought, whatever, he wouldn't make Li Shimin unhappy because of her anyway.
After seeing off Princess Le Chang, he saw Wei Zheng walking briskly. He hadn't seen him for some days since he left the South Study Room.
"A rare visitor? Mr. Wei."
Li Tai said angrily.
Wei Zheng pulled him and walked towards the study, the expression on his face was hard to describe.
"Master Wei, what are you doing? Have you heard the gossip again?"
Wei Zheng said: "King Wei, I advise you not to be too public. Now your poems are being sung everywhere in Chang'an City."
"So what? Is there something wrong with my poem?"
"Of course there is no problem, it's just that it's not good for you."
Li Tai asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with me? Writing poems to express my aspirations can just express my patriotism and benevolence."
"It is the emperor's business to worry about the country and the people. You are just a prince. Worrying too much about it will make people think you are ambitious."
"Isn't it a good thing to be ambitious? Mr. Wei, we have known each other for some time. Don't you want to avenge the former prince?"
Wei Zheng looked at him in surprise, and suddenly said seriously: "King Wei, where do you start with these words?"
Li Tai smiled slightly and said: "Master Wei, you are now a popular person around my father. Don't think that he regards you as a confidant. In fact, he only uses you to show the world. Can't you tell?"
Wei Zheng was startled for a moment, and then said immediately: "Emperor Taizong is a great emperor. He puts me in high regard regardless of past grievances. He sincerely regards me as his confidant. King Wei, don't judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
No matter how capable a person is, he cannot predict what will happen after his death. For a person like Wei Zheng, he will not be able to predict his own death. In a short period of time after a hundred years, Li Shimin overthrew his tomb and canceled the marriage with the Wei family.
The marriage of children.
"Master Wei, I know very well who my father is. He can turn his hands over for the loyal and cautious Duke who has made great contributions, let alone you? You gave Li Jiancheng so many ways to harm him.
How can he not care?"
As Li Tai talked eloquently, Wei Zheng's expression changed from the previous confidence to a bit suspicious.
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero. No matter who becomes the emperor, I will always have an innocent heart. King Wei's words today contain profound meaning. Do you have other ideas?"
"I don't dare, I just hope that Mr. Wei can say a few more kind words for me in front of my father."
"Is that all?"
Wei Zheng asked rhetorically.
"What do you think? What ideas can I have? What kind of waves can I make even if I have ideas?"
"Don't lie to me. Do you think you can hide your little thoughts from me? However, I still advise you not to have any illusions."
"Haha, it is impossible to succeed without dreams. Mr. Wei, if you are willing to help me, I will definitely make you a person inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people in the future."
Li Tai looked at Wei Zheng and said very seriously.
Wei Zheng's face was ugly and he said: "Your Highness, King Wei, you'd better not have any other ideas. Even if you do, it's just a luxury."
"Why? My father can do it, why can't I?"
Wei Zheng laughed twice and said, "You are different from him. He has the bones of a king, but you don't."
"I don't believe it, Mr. Wei, I have saved your life."
"The grace of saving my life will never be forgotten. One day I will repay you."
"I don't want anything in return, I just want you to help me gain the title of prince."
Li Tai didn't want to hide and seek with him anymore, but directly expressed his thoughts.
"No, you must not have that thought. It is a road of no return. If I hadn't seen a burning fire in your chest, I wouldn't have advised you. Just listen to me."
Wei Zheng said very sincerely.
"Okay, I will listen to you, but what if my father is willing?"
"King Wei, if the crown prince is indeed unworthy of the throne, your father may have the idea of changing the crown prince's position, but definitely not now."
"When was that?"
"It is the will of Emperor Taizong and the will of Empress Changsun to establish a direct line rather than a child. With her here, your father will not change his mind."
When Li Tai heard this, he was immediately discouraged.
Wei Zheng is indeed no ordinary person. He knows their family's affairs too thoroughly.
Ever since he could remember, he had felt that Empress Changsun didn't like him very much. He knew that Li Chengqian had many shortcomings, but she still doted on him.
"But, my father dotes on me so much, doesn't he have other reasons?"
"Emperor Taizong is a good father. He treats his children well. You think too much. However, this time you allowed the emperor to reinstate Duke Yi, and all the ministers in the court praised him."
As he spoke, Wei Zheng picked up the pen on the desk, wrote the words "cultivate one's moral character" on the paper, then stood up and left.
"Master Wei, can you pass on your invisibility technique to me?"
Li Tai kicked him out of the house and begged softly.
"No, some things are gifts from God, and not everyone can afford them. Don't leak out our conversation today, otherwise you and I will be in trouble."
After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he left without looking back.
This old man knows how to do ideological work for people. If he hadn't bothered Li Shimin in the court every day, he would not have ended up having his tomb dissected in the future.
On second thought, his reminder was not wrong. If people knew that he coveted the position of prince, it would be a crime of beheading.
