"Oh, my beloved concubine, where is Ke'er?"
Li Er was eating the steamed seabass cooked by Yang Fei in his mouth, looking around with his eyes, and suddenly asked.
As the eldest son of Concubine Yang, Li Ke was of noble birth and inherited the blood of the royal families of the two dynasties. In terms of the nobleness of his blood, no one in the entire Tang Dynasty could compare with him. He could be said to be the most noble prince in the Tang Dynasty.
On the other hand, Li Ke was good at both civil and military affairs, and his decisiveness in both martial arts and martial arts was very much like that of Li Er, so Li Er loved him very much. No, Li Er started talking about it after not seeing Li Ke for a long time?
"Your Majesty, Ke'er is probably practicing martial arts with General Dugu in Beiya right now!"
Speaking of her son, Concubine Yang's face flashed with a light of love, which was the unique tenderness of a mother.
Beiya is the north of the imperial city. After Li Yuan became emperor, he selected 30,000 forbidden troops from the Taiyuan uprising army and stationed them in the north of the imperial city. They were responsible for guarding the palace. They were called the Yuancong Imperial Army, also known as Beiya.
"Well~, you are worthy of being my son, he is really eager to learn!"
Li Er nodded appreciatively. He caught a glimpse of a stack of newspapers on the table not far away and asked curiously: "My beloved, do you also read newspapers on weekdays?"
"Well~, let's take a look once in a while!"
Concubine Yang replied casually. In fact, she didn't read it occasionally, but often. She was usually bored in the harem, and the newspaper provided her with a very good way to spend time. Basically, she read every issue of the newspaper from the beginning. She had read it to the end, but she couldn't say that, because if she said it, it would seem like she was complaining that Li Er didn't come to see her often.
In the palace where people's hearts are complicated, Concubine Yang has long learned how to be cautious in her words and deeds and how to protect herself.
"Well, bring me today's newspaper to read!"
Li Er didn't have the energy to think about the woman's complicated thoughts. He thought that he didn't have time to read today's newspaper, so he said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Concubine Yang stood up, moved lightly, took today's "Datang Daily" and handed it to Li Er. Li Er took it, put the newspaper next to his rice bowl, and started reading the newspaper while eating.
"Hmm~~?"
Of course, Li Er didn't have time to read the irrelevant articles at the front of the newspaper. He directly read the headlines. However, after reading this news, Li Er frowned deeply.
"What's wrong? Your Majesty?"
Concubine Yang had finished eating now. She wiped her red lips with a handkerchief. Seeing Li Er's expression, she couldn't help but wonder.
"Have you read today's headlines?"
Li Er asked.
"Oh~! I read it! Your Majesty, do you think this news is inappropriate?"
"It's not just inappropriate! It's simply extremely inappropriate!"
Li Er patted the table and didn't even eat. He stood up and stood with his hands behind his back, saying: "I didn't take it seriously when Li Zexuan founded Datang Daily, but judging from today's news, this guy I'm afraid he has a plan! Today he can use the newspaper to smear the ministers who criticize him. Will he be able to use the newspaper to form gangs tomorrow? A small newspaper can become a weapon in the party struggle. This guy is really good at calculating. !If you don’t beat him, won’t he go to heaven?”
"Your Majesty, I heard that Li Siye is very knowledgeable and has a pure character at a young age. He shouldn't do anything like fighting for power, right?"
Concubine Yang murmured for a while and said hesitantly.
"Hmph! I don't think he can do it either, but what needs to be beaten must be beaten! Otherwise, this kid has a sharp weapon, and he will inevitably go astray one day!"
Li Er said coldly.
He still understood Li Zexuan's temperament, and he guessed that Li Zexuan would simply fight back against Cui Shanyou and others this time, but even though he had guessed, he did not agree with Li Zexuan's method of handling things. The ability of newspapers to influence public opinion gave Li Er a thorn in his heart and made him feel very uncomfortable.
………………………
Hejian County Prince's Mansion.
"Haha, it's not easy to hire a busy guy like Li Siye!"
As soon as Li Zexuan entered the palace, he was met by a noble young man. Li Zexuan recognized him at a glance. It was Li Daozong, whom he had met in Ba Shang the day before yesterday.
"It turns out that Your Majesty is here too. I'm sorry for being so rude. I was delayed by some official duties in the Imperial College, so I'm late. I hope Your Majesty won't take offense!"
Li Zexuan was surprised when he saw Li Daozong. At this moment, he was a little unclear about what medicine the princess was selling in her gourd.
"Haha, no wonder! You guys, go with me to see Mrs. Wang! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Li Daozong laughed loudly.
In fact, he was invited here today by the county princess.
Because Li Xiaogong was away at sea, there was no male host in the palace, and it was inconvenient for the princess and the princess to invite foreign guests, so they invited Li Daozong over, and they could also serve as witnesses for Li Huairen's apprenticeship, which could be said to serve multiple purposes.
"Your Majesty said, please come first!"
"Haha, let's go!"
………………………
Li Zexuan followed Li Daozong to the main hall of the Hejian County Prince's Mansion. As expected, the Princess of the County was waiting inside, with two teenagers standing next to her. Compared with the coquettish dress when Li Zexuan saw her last time, this time she was dressed much more solemnly, with fatigue visible in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes. She looked about twenty-six or seventeen years old, with no makeup on her face and a fair complexion. The mature charm in his bones cannot be concealed at all.
"I don't know where that old pervert Li Xiaogong found such a wife. Tsk! In history, Li Xiaogong died young. Is this related to it?"
Li Zexuan was thinking wildly in his mind.
"Li Siye is here? Please sit down quickly!"
Seeing Li Zexuan come in, the princess quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile.
"The princess is so polite! I'm so late. I hope the princess will atone for her sins!"
Li Zexuan jumped out of his chaotic thoughts and bowed his hands.
"Haha~~ It doesn't matter. Chongyi and Huairen, why don't you come over and pay tribute to Mr. Li?"
The princess laughed, then waved to the two young men next to her.
"Young man Li Chongyi has met Mr. Li!"
"Young man Li Huairen has met Mr.!"
Regardless of whether these two people were usually naughty or not, under the intimidation of the princess's eyes, they both looked like good children and stepped forward to bow to Li Zexuan.
"You two princes, there is no need to be polite! Please get up quickly!"
Li Zexuan felt extremely comfortable. He usually calls himself a boy in front of others, and now it is others' turn to call themselves a boy in front of him. Although Li Chongyi may be about the same age as him, although Li Huairen is only two or three years younger than him. , but the teacher’s etiquette cannot be abolished!
"Thank you, sir!"
The two furry kids stood up and said.
"I estimate that Li Siye hasn't had time to eat yet, so he's probably starving! I'll let you serve the food right now, and we'll talk about other things after dinner. How about that?"
The princess said with a smile on her face.
"Haha, this kid must be hungry! Sister-in-law Wang, just ask someone to serve you food!"
Li Daozong smiled.
"But it depends on the arrangement of the princess and the prince!"
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and smiled.
He was indeed a little hungry, but why did his words sound so weird?
