Look at Fang Xuanling's appearance.
Changsun Wuji really didn't know what to say.
But it is not difficult to tell from his words that he is firmly on Li Chengqian's side on this matter.
This coincides with Changsun Wuji.
"Okay, okay, your old house is noble, okay?"
"I, Changsun Wuji, am a selfish guy who only thinks about himself. Is that okay?"
Changsun Wuji shook his head and chuckled: "Since we are both grounded, you shouldn't have to go to the Yamen to report. Let's go to Huixiang Tower while we have time. I'll treat you."
"Hey, it's not easy for your eldest grandson to be generous."
Fang Xuanling was not polite to him and said directly: "When the time comes, don't blame me for ordering a table full of delicacies and depriving your grandson family of poverty."
What he said was obviously a joke.
Not to mention that Huixiang Tower is a property owned by the Changsun family.
Even if not, so what?
Even if the current Changsun family looks at the entire Tang Dynasty, who can compete with them for financial resources?
And the two of them were in a good mood to eat and drink.
There is no Li Shimin on the other side.
At this moment, his face was almost invisible, and it was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water.
All the maids and eunuchs were afraid of being affected by his anger and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Eunuch Zhou handed over the tea and asked tentatively: "Has Your Highness made you angry again?"
"Ah!"
"More than just making me angry?"
"Now that this kid is protected by ministers, he doesn't even look down on me, the emperor."
"Do you know what he said to me just now?"
Li Shimin slammed the tea cup on the table: "He actually threatened me and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty by giving up his position as crown prince!"
"What's even more annoying are those two guys Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji."
"A yin and yang weirdo who refuses to speak his mind."
"The other one is even more powerful and simply calls my son useless."
"It's as if I can't train another prince in this world without him, Li Chengqian."
Li Shimin said angrily: "In the final analysis, it's my fault that I indulge them so much that they don't know how high the sky is, let alone who is the master of this world!"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Eunuch Zhou couldn't help but feel like laughing.
But because Li Shimin was still angry, he didn't dare to laugh, and his face turned red from holding it in.
When Li Shimin saw this, he couldn't help but feel angry.
He frowned and said, "Why are you looking like this? Do you also want to laugh at me?"
"I don't dare, old slave."
Eunuch Zhou bowed slightly and said, "But I still have something I want to ask Your Majesty. I don't know whether I should ask it or not."
Li Shimin raised his head and said, "If you fart, let it go!"
"yes!"
Eunuch Zhou raised his head and looked at Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, do you still remember your original vision for the prince?"
"If the old slave remembers correctly."
"Your Majesty once said that you hope that the prince will work hard to create a prosperous and prosperous world after taking over the world from you."
Li Shimin was stunned and looked at Eunuch Zhou with puzzled eyes.
"His Royal Highness is indeed naughty sometimes."
Duke Zhou said earnestly: "But your Majesty cannot deny his merits and abilities just because of his stubbornness."
Li Shimin snorted coldly and said nothing.
Eunuch Zhou continued: "Your Majesty, you may wish to think carefully about the more than ten years that His Royal Highness has been in politics."
"At the beginning, there were voices everywhere against him, and there were voices everywhere asking His Majesty to depose the prince."
"But what now? Do these voices still exist?"
"Indeed, there is His Majesty's secret help, but there is also His Royal Highness's own efforts."
"Especially in recent years, he has implemented internal reforms, making the Tang Dynasty more stable and allowing the people to have enough food and clothing."
"At the same time, he also acted forcefully and forcefully externally, making the power of the Tang Dynasty spread far and wide."
"In just over ten years, the Tang Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes."
"Don't you know how much His Majesty the Crown Prince has suffered and suffered for this?"
"Did your Majesty forget that you went to the Northern Desert and felt sad secretly when you saw His Highness rolling in the mud with the people?"
Eunuch Zhou looked at Li Shimin and said seriously: "I am not saying this because I want to prove something for the prince."
"It's just that the old slave can't figure it out."
"Even those who rushed to participate in his performance to prevent His Majesty from naming him the Crown Prince are now surrendering under the Crown Prince's feet."
"But His Majesty is on the opposite side of the Crown Prince, and even wants to depose the Crown Prince."
"Could it be that His Majesty, His Majesty, can't be satisfied even if His Majesty has achieved this?"
"Isn't the current prince the prince you originally wanted, the prince you wanted?"
Eunuch Zhou spread his hands and said, "I don't even understand that when His Majesty the Crown Prince was injured by the Turks, His Majesty could immediately declare war on the Turks."
"Now, because of the remarks of several ministers, the prince is about to be deposed."
"Could it be that, Your Highness the Crown Prince, your son, who has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, is not as important as their few words?"
"Or are they not as important as your Majesty's face and reputation?"
Hearing what Eunuch Zhou said, Li Shimin couldn't help but fell silent.
Li Shimin knows better than anyone what kind of child Li Chengqian is.
If he didn't know Li Chengqian's abilities, he wouldn't have been able to push him from behind the scenes to the front with repeated calculations.
But as Eunuch Zhou said, he didn't know when he started to put his son in second place.
Instead, he values his reputation and face more than anything else.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin looked up to the sky and exhaled a long breath.
"Old Zhou."
Li Shimin suddenly lowered his head and asked, "How many years have you been following me?"
"If the old slave remembers correctly."
Eunuch Zhou answered truthfully: "It has been almost twenty-five years now."
"Twenty-five years."
Li Shimin shook his head and sighed: "Time flies, and time is not forgiving!"
"When I first met you, I was still the King of Qin, high-spirited and looking towards the world."
"But now, I'm forty years old."
Li Shimin pursed his lips, looked at Eunuch Zhou and said, "You are right, I have indeed changed."
"Becoming cowardly and timid."
"Knowing that my son was harmed by others, I dare not take revenge. I have to rely on my other son to help me vent my anger."
When he said this, Li Shimin suddenly laughed: "Speaking of which, as a father, I am not even as good as my son."
"He knows that he is the prince, a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, and You'er's brother."
"But I forgot these things because I sat in this position for so long."
Li Shimin looked at the teacup in his palms infatuatedly: "I forgot about brotherly feelings, I forgot about the feeling of life and death, and I forgot that I am an emperor but also the father and husband of others."
Eunuch Zhou lowered his head and said nothing.
As Li Shimin's personal official, he saw all Li Shimin's changes.
It was okay at the beginning, it was at most a transition from prince to emperor.
But in recent years, it has become so big that others are at a loss as to what to do.
Especially the attitude towards Li Chengqian and the consolidation of veterans makes people clearly feel what a ruthless emperor is.
Being alone may be the fate of an emperor.
But this is definitely not the real Li Shimin!
