Li Shimin was also used to being gentle to his courtiers.
So much so that he would open his mind and listen to everyone who gave advice.
Even if the minister contradicts him, even if the minister makes rude remarks, he can tolerate it.
This is true for a wise man, but outsiders will also find flaws in it.
Just like this Fuyu Yiji.
He really showed off what it means to argue with you in front of Li Shimin...
Later, Li Shimin did not deny Li Chengqian's proposal.
Of course, he also didn't agree.
He just said: "This matter will be discussed later."
"Right now, let's talk about the missions of various countries."
Li Shimin looked directly at Li Chengqian and said, "Nowadays, envoys from various countries have arrived in Chang'an one after another. Have you seen them one by one?"
"This, except for Silla and Baekje..."
Li Chengqian was also a little embarrassed and said: "I haven't gone to see you yet."
There is really no need to clean up this point, he is indeed lazy.
After all, it was too troublesome to meet them one by one, so he thought of waiting until everyone arrived.
As for the envoys from Silla and Baekje, Kinderman came to find Li Chengqian because of her initiative.
Buyeo Yiji was even simpler. It was entirely because Baekje was a vassal of the imperial court and he was qualified to go to the palace to listen to him.
And when he heard that this boy didn't take his confession to heart, Li Shimin's face turned black.
"Bastard thing!"
Li Shimin slammed the table and said angrily: "I have given you many orders to do this, and this is how you do it?"
"Isn't this also because I haven't freed up my hands yet?"
Li Chengqian lowered his head, too guilty to dare to look Li Shimin in the face.
And Li Shimin was too lazy to talk nonsense to him, so he immediately gave him an ultimatum.
"I give you three days to do this clearly."
"If you let me know that you have an envoy that you haven't seen, and you have missed that envoy, I will make your butt explode!"
Hearing this, what else did Li Chengqian dare to say?
He could only respond in a hurry, and then left the Manna Hall as if he was running away.
Outside the Manna Palace.
Li Ke and Li Chengqian looked at each other, and then both brothers laughed out loud.
It was only today that Li Ke saw and personally felt the way Li Shimin treated Li Chengqian that he once envied.
Li Chengqian also glanced at this guy and said, "How about it? Do you still envy me?"
"I'm not envious, I'm not envious at all."
"And to be honest, I still think it's good to be in Shu."
Li Ke raised the corner of his mouth and said: "If I have the chance to choose again, I will stay in Shu 100% and never come back."
"There is no turning back when you shoot the bow, and you won't have the chance to choose again."
Li Chengqian glanced at him with disgust, and then said: "By the way, you have to handle the matter I tell you seriously. It won't take long to think about it. It will be done within two months at most." Put it on the agenda.”
"Do not worry."
"This matter will be taken care of by me."
Li Ke patted his chest and said, "I promise to get this matter done before your conspiracy succeeds."
Originally, Li Chengqian was ready to nod and agree.
But when he thought about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.
"what do you mean?"
"What is conspiracy? What is conspiracy?"
"My prince, this is for the good of the court and the good of the Tang Dynasty. How come it turns into a conspiracy when it comes to your mouth?"
Li Chengqian raised his leg and kicked Li Ke on the butt, saying, "I gave you a black eye today because of your boy, so you know who is the boss!"
Upon seeing this, Li Ke also patted his butt and ran away before Li Chengqian caught up.
After a series of events, the two brothers returned to their childhood state.
This scene was naturally noticed by Li Shimin.
At that moment, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
"How can these two boys behave like they are fighting in the palace?"
Even though he said this, he didn't mean to blame him at all.
He even said: "The elder brother doesn't act like an elder brother, and the younger brother doesn't act like a younger brother."
"Your Majesty, don't be dissatisfied."
Eunuch Zhou behind him also said: "Now the relationship between the prince and the king of Shu is indeed getting closer."
"And isn't this exactly what His Majesty expected?"
"I think it won't be long before the two Your Highnesses will be able to support the world together, as Your Majesty said, one in charge of the inside and the other in charge of the outside."
Hearing this, Li Shimin also shook his head and chuckled.
"yes."
"Unknowingly, these two boys have also come from the age when they were fighting and making trouble."
"And looking at their appearance, I feel very happy."
Speaking of this, Li Shimin's expression couldn't help but change a little.
Obviously, he was thinking of his brothers.
I don't know whether I should say that Li Chengqian is luckier than him, or that Li Chengqian is a better person than him.
You know, when he was still Li Chengqian's age, his brothers had already begun to use any means to kill each other.
But now, Li Chengqian and Li Ke have reconciled after a large-scale conflict.
And Li Ke's reputation is also booming with the help of Li Chengqian.
Even in the public circles, few people mentioned the incident of him raising troops to rebel in Shu. Instead, they began to praise his recent achievements.
When thinking of them and himself, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh: "In a family, whether as the eldest brother or the younger brother, the real ability is to make the brothers harmonious."
…
East Palace.
After parting with Li Ke, Li Chengqian naturally wanted to return to his nest.
But before he could enter, Li Laoyuan saw a graceful woman standing at the gate of the East Palace.
Li Chengqian guessed the identity of the other party without the other party talking, let alone getting closer to look.
Who else could come to me at this time besides Kinderman?
When he came closer, Li Chengqian said without saying a word: "Come in."
Kinderman did not hesitate and followed Li Chengqian into the East Palace and into the study.
After Xiao Chuzi had set out tea and snacks.
Kinderman also spoke impatiently: "Your Highness, you have also seen Fuyu Yici's attitude."
"Now they have no intention of peace talks, and they also vaguely want to expand the war."
"If his ambition really succeeds, then we, Silla, will be in danger..."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian, who was holding the teacup, also rolled his eyes.
Then, he slowly took a sip of tea and said, "What's the hurry?"
"Isn't this situation what we planned in the first place?"
"Don't forget, we didn't intend to rely on peace talks to solve the problem."
Hearing this, Kinderman also bit his lip.
She was also so angry at Fuyu Yici in the court that she even forgot about it.
Li Chengqian put down his tea cup, looked at Kinderman and said, "You also know that Baekje has been thinking about you Silla for more than a day or two."
"Instead of compromising and negotiating, we might as well teach them a lesson at this time and let them remember it for a long time."
As the saying goes, hit with one punch to avoid a hundred punches!
Only by digging out the careerist's heart can he realize where he went wrong...
