Royal study room.
Li Shimin handled state affairs conscientiously.
Wei Zheng is still recuperating at home, and he has been quite busy these days.
"His Majesty."
A young eunuch suddenly came forward: "The Supreme Emperor and Wei Yushi want to see you."
Without waiting for Li Shimin's permission, Li Yuan rushed in with a basket in hand...
"Shimin, I came here unexpectedly, didn't I disturb you?"
Can you please not disturb me?
But you are the father, what can I say?
"My son has met my father."
Li Shimin quickly stood up and saluted.
"My family, you're welcome."
Li Yuan enthusiastically pushed Li Shimin back to his original position, and then placed the basket on the table...
"Look what I brought you?"
He opened the lid of the basket and revealed several exquisite pastries: "This is a gift from the minister of the DPRK to me."
Minister of the DPRK?
Li Shimin's eyes swept away Wei Shuyu.
"I wonder which minister is so interested?" Li Shimin said nonchalantly.
"Who else could it be?"
Li Yuan said happily: "Your confidant and beloved minister, Fang Xuanling."
Fang Xuanling?
Li Shimin's expression suddenly became strange.
He would rather believe that a sow can climb a tree than he would believe that Fang Xuanling would have an affair with Li Yuan.
Isn't this a knife handed over to Li Yuan to chop?
"Come on, try it."
Li Yuan picked up a piece and brought it to Li Shimin's mouth happily.
"Father, there is no need to do this. I can do it myself."
Li Shimin stood up and took it in panic.
It was obviously just a pastry, but he always felt like there was something wrong with it.
Li Yuan is really too enthusiastic.
"How does it taste?"
Li Yuan smiled and watched Li Shimin eat it.
"Excellent."
Li Shimin nodded.
"right?"
Li Yuan continued to ask like an old fox: "Then you ate someone else's food, do you have to do a favor?"
"What's the deal?"
Li Shimin's heart suddenly lifted.
"Ahem..."
Li Yuan coughed twice: "Isn't this because I see Fang Yiai as a man of erudition, capable of literature and martial arts, rich in knowledge and talented..."
"Stop, stop, stop..."
Li Shimin couldn't stand Li Yuan's nonsense and quickly stopped him: "Besides causing trouble, what else can he do?"
"Which of these things you praise has anything to do with him?"
Li Yuan was stunned.
Bullshit has gone too far.
But don’t panic, it’s a small scene.
We are the best at changing concepts.
"Who says he has no merit?"
Li Yuan blew his beard and said with a glare: "His father is Fang Xuanling!"
"..."
I really can't find an excuse to refute this reason.
"Father, please stop beating around the bush, can you tell me something directly?" Li Shimin was quite speechless.
"It's just that the Fang family has taken a fancy to Gao Yang and wants Princess Shang." Li Yuan said directly.
Shang Gaoyang?
"Just because of this, the Fang family specially asked you to be a lobbyist?"
Li Shimin didn't even know what to say.
For such a small matter, Xuanling, why don't you just bring it up directly?
Based on our relationship, can I still disagree?
As everyone knows, there are actually several reasons why Fang Xuanling dare not mention it...
First, last time I wanted to get an official position for Fang Yiai, but Fang Yiai staged a play to play on the prince and the king of Wei, which angered Li Shimin.
Secondly, the old Wei family learned from the past. Wei Zheng asked his son for a princess over and over again, but Li Shimin never agreed. His old family was also afraid of being rejected.
Thirdly, Fang Yiai has a lot of misdeeds. He skips school all day long and likes to visit Wanhua Pavilion. Fang Xuanling is too embarrassed to mention it.
Due to various reasons, Fang Xuanling planned to wait until his son had made meritorious deeds.
"My son..."
Li Shimin was about to agree, but he thought wrong.
It’s the Fang family who wants Princess Shang, but I’m not begging them?
If you agree so easily, wouldn't it give people the feeling that the royal princess has fallen into disgrace?
"Father, I think the two of us are still young and can wait a few years before discussing marriage." Li Shimin said slowly.
"You don't agree?"
Li Yuan suddenly lost his temper.
I had already promised Wei Shuyu. If I couldn't do it, wouldn't it make me lose face?
"It's not that I don't agree, it's just that it's still early and the Fang family hasn't come forward..."
Li Shimin was about to explain a few words when Li Yuan burst out.
"Isn't it enough for me to show up?"
"I came here specifically to ask for your opinion. I also brought you food and said nice things to you. You still don't agree?"
"If I don't participate in government affairs, will I not be able to interfere with my granddaughter's marriage?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you think I'm old and an eyesore? You wish I could die..."
Li Yuan's crackling output caused cold sweat to break out on Li Shimin's forehead.
What's going on?
Started spraying out of nowhere?
"Father, it's not that I disagree, I just think it's still early..." Li Shimin hurriedly explained.
"What's so early?"
Li Yuan angrily rebuked: "You decreed that Gao Yang be given to my beloved, will it increase the relationship between you and your ministers?"
"All the house watchers have found me, so how anxious are they?"
"In desperation, what if they approach other officials to plead with you?"
"The more we interact with each other, the more friendship will be formed."
"When the time comes for the officials to protect each other, how can you manage the court?"
Li Yuan didn't care whether he was justified or not, he just sprayed it out.
Li Shimin must dare to talk back.
That's better.
I have another excuse to rant.
"Father, even if this matter is to be settled, I must talk to Xuan Ling personally, right?" Li Shimin explained again.
"What to talk about?"
Li Yuan knocked on the basket: "The other party even gave me a gift. Isn't sincerity enough?"
"Do you still want to receive a betrothal gift when our royal family marries a princess?"
Is your sincerity limited to these pastries?
He didn't even show up in person, does this deserve to be called sincerity?
Li Shimin sighed...
"Okay, father, please stop talking. I agree to this marriage."
Li Shimin had determined that Li Yuan was just idle and came to scold him to distract himself.
"Wouldn't it be better if I said this earlier?"
Li Yuan snorted coldly: "You have to make me angry."
While speaking, Li Yuan cast a proud look at Wei Shuyu.
"Father, I also have some pastries made by Guanyin. Can you take some back to eat?"
Li Shimin waved his hand.
Wang De immediately came up with a basket.
"Remember, deal with state affairs properly from now on. Look at what you, the emperor, have done. A few disasters have caused you to keep your feet on the ground."
"Even my palace is out of work. I don't know what to say to you..."
Li Yuan began to chirp about Li Shimin's faults.
When he was tired, Shi Shiran left.
"Shuyu, please stay here for a moment. I'll see you if I have something to do."
Just when Wei Shuyu was about to resign, Li Shimin left Wei Shuyu behind.
"promise."
After the others left, Li Shimin looked at Wei Shuyu...
"What did you tell Father today?"
Everything about Li Yuan is under his supervision.
Wei Shuyu and the Supreme Emperor hid in the house and talked secretly. This kind of thing would definitely not be hidden from him.
"Your Majesty, Mencius said: There are five so-called unfilial people in the world..."
"Which five points have I forgotten, but there is one sentence that I remember very clearly."
"Ignore your parents' support."
"I believe that your Majesty's treatment of the Supreme Emperor may cause other people to become ill..."
Um?
Li Shimin was about to taste the pastries and make a meal.
I was scolded like this by my father, am I still being unfilial?
Are you kidding me?
And why is your tone so familiar?
Looked up……
A miniature version of Wei Zheng was facing him.
