"I have met the princess, my consort." Li Mu saluted respectfully.
"Mr. Li, the consort is injured and cannot salute. If you have anything to say, please say it quickly." Li Lizhi said.
Li Mu said: "His Majesty ordered the Marquis of Jingyang County to go to the army in three days without any delay."
"How can we get rid of the consort now that he is injured like this?" Li Lizhi said dissatisfied.
"Princess, this is your majesty's oral order. This old slave is just conveying your majesty's order." Li Mu said with a bitter smile.
Lin Xuan stopped Li Lizhi and said, "I'd like to ask Mr. Li to make a trip and ask Mr. Li to tell your majesty. He said that I will obey the order and set off for the army in three days."
"Then the old slave will go back and resume his life." Li Mu saluted and said.
"I'm injured, so I won't send Manager Li off. Qing Yi will send Manager Li out of the house." Lin Xuan said.
After Li Mu left, Li Lizhi said angrily: "Father has gone too far. He beat you like this and asked you to go to the army in three days. What will happen if you leave any root causes of illness? No, I want to enter the palace.
See my father."
Lin Xuan had no intention of stopping it. Although Li Lizhi's entry into the palace could not change anything, it would at least give Li Shimin a headache.
In fact, Li Shimin has a very headache now.
He had the corn delivered to the Li Zheng Palace, but Queen Changsun did not keep all of it, but sent part of it to Concubine Yang and Concubine Wei.
As for the others, since they only had so much, they didn’t give it away.
There aren't many in the first place, but if you give away some of them, there won't be many left.
Sizi is okay, after all, he is only over a year old and can't eat much.
But Li Zhi was different. He was very greedy at the age of five or six.
Except for Queen Changsun and Si Zi who ate one together, the remaining two went into his stomach.
After eating, Li Zhi still had some unfinished thoughts and asked the palace maid to get it for him.
There was no such thing in the palace at all. Wherever the palace maid went to get it for him, she could only tell him that it was sent by His Majesty and the Shangshan Bureau did not have it at all.
Although Li Zhi was born in the royal family, because of his young age and the fact that Li Shimin loved him very much, he was not as afraid of Li Shimin as the adult prince. Knowing that Li Shimin only had it, he wanted to go to Ganlu Palace to ask Li Shimin for it.
But he was scolded by Empress Changsun.
Li Shimin was considered a loving father to Li Zhi when he was young, so Empress Changsun was a strict mother.
Li Zhi did not dare to disobey Queen Changsun's words, so he could only go back to the palace where he lived to play with the toys Lin Xuan gave him.
Because there were relatively few memorials today, Li Shimin finished processing them early.
After finishing my work, thinking that I had not seen Si Zi for a few days, I came to the Li Zheng Hall.
After Li Zhi learned about it, he stopped playing with toys and went directly to the Li Zheng Hall.
"Father, father."
Before anyone arrived, the childish voice came first.
Empress Changsun frowned slightly and scolded: "How did the empress teach you?"
Li Zhi shrank his neck and bowed politely: "My sons and ministers are here to see my father, the emperor, and my empress."
"No courtesy." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he said to Queen Changsun: "The pheasant slave is still young, so there is no need to be so harsh."
It is said that the emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the youngest son.
However, Li Shimin was just the opposite. Although Li Zhi was not Li Shimin's youngest son, Li Shimin treated the children born to Queen Changsun much better than the children born to other concubines.
Everyone thought that Li Shimin liked Li Tai the most, but in fact Li Shimin liked Li Zhi the most.
The reward given to Li Tai was far greater than that of other kings because Li Tai was born obese and the imperial doctor declared that he would not live a long life. Li Shimin was kind to him as part of his compensation mentality.
In fact, Li Shimin's love for Li Zhi is no lower than that of Li Tai, or even much higher.
Although Li Zhi was far inferior to Li Tai in terms of fiefdom, Li Zhi's title was King of Jin.
Taiyuan was the place where the Li family raised their troops and was called the Land of Longxing. Li Shimin named Li Zhi the King of Jin, which shows his love for Li Zhi.
Normally, when a prince reaches the age of fourteen, he must live in a separate residence and cannot live in the palace.
However, Li Zhi was already fifteen years old when he was established as the prince, but he still lived in the palace, which shows his love for Li Zhi.
Empress Changsun disagreed with Li Shimin's words and retorted: "The royal rules are strict. The other princes and princesses must abide by them, and he must abide by them too. Your Majesty cannot relax your requirements just because you like him."
Li Shimin did not argue with Empress Changsun, but held Li Zhi in his arms and said with a smile: "How did you do with your homework, Pheasant Slave?"
"Back to my father, I have completed my homework. My father can review it at will." Li Zhi said.
"Oh?" Li Shimin saw the confidence on Li Zhi's little face and started to think about taking the exam. He smiled and said: "Then my father will take the test for you. As long as you can satisfy my father, my father will promise you a
Require."
"Really?" Li Zhi asked in surprise.
He was thinking about asking Li Shimin for corn. If his answer satisfied Li Shimin and he proposed to eat corn every day, wouldn't he be able to eat whatever he wanted in the future?
"Your Majesty." Empress Changsun felt that Li Shimin was too used to Li Zhi, which was not good.
"You are not joking. Since I have said it, I will not change it." Li Shimin said.
"Pheasant slave, tell me, Father, what have you been studying recently?" Li Shimin asked.
"Father, my son is studying "The Classic of Filial Piety" with Master Xiao."
"It's good to study the Classic of Filial Piety, but what do you think is the most important in this "The Classic of Filial Piety"?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Zhi thought about it seriously and said: "Father, sons and ministers believe that filial piety is the most important. They serve their parents when they are young, serve the king when they grow up, and finally achieve the goal of self-cultivation. A gentleman serves the king, and when he goes to the temple, he thinks of serving the country.
To be loyal, when he retired to his home, he thought of admonishing the monarch for his faults and correcting his evildoings."
"Good, good!" Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this and praised: "If you act according to this, you will be able to serve your father and brother well and be a good minister."
If an adult said this, it wouldn't be a big deal, but Li Zhi was only six years old, how could he not make Li Shimin happy?
Li Shimin couldn't help but think of Li Tai, a six-year-old child understands the truth, why don't you understand it.
Empress Changsun was also very happy with Li Zhi's intelligence, but there was a trace of worry hidden deep in her eyes.
As a mother, she naturally wants her children to be smart.
But in the royal family, being too smart is not a good thing.
Li Zhi is young now and has no ambitions, but who can guarantee that he will not be tempted by that position when he grows up?
As a queen, she naturally hopes that Li Chengqian's crown prince's position will be stable, which will be beneficial to the court.
As a mother, she doesn't want her children to kill each other.
In fact, Queen Changsun's worries were not unnecessary at all.
Many people think that Li Zhi succeeded to the throne because of bad luck.
After Li Chengqian rebelled and was deposed, Li Shimin wanted to make Li Tai the crown prince, but Li Tai and Li Shimin said they would kill their son to establish a younger brother. Li Shimin felt that Li Tai was too cruel and gave up the idea, allowing Li Zhi to take advantage.
Is this really the case?
Li Shimin made Li Zhi the crown prince because Li Zhi had always been very benevolent and filial.
Li Shimin felt that Li Zhi would treat his brothers well after he succeeded to the throne, so he made Li Zhi the crown prince.
In fact, Li Zhi hooked up with Wu Zetian when Li Shimin was seriously ill. After he succeeded to the throne, he even borrowed the help of Changsun Wuji to kill many of his brothers, completely losing his former benevolence and filial piety.
In addition, although Li Shimin felt that Li Tai was too cruel because Li Tai said he would kill his son to pass on his younger brother, he did not make up his mind to give up on Li Tai.
