After thinking about it, Li Shimin took out the cigarette case from his arms and lit a cigarette.
He is happy now, take one.
If you're not happy, take one.
After dinner, have one.
Take a shit and get one!
I simply can’t control it anymore! In the past, there were still people who tried to persuade him, but now no one dares to persuade him!
Li Shimin naturally let himself go. He just sat on the threshold and murmured nonstop.
In fact, this is when he is most relaxed.
You don’t have to think about anything at all, you can completely let go...
Ashes fell.
The sound of footsteps came.
But he saw a chamberlain holding a stack of memorials in his hand and said respectfully to Li Shimin:
"See Your Majesty."
Li Shimin raised his head slightly.
"Um?"
This waiter looks quite unfamiliar.
"This servant is the attendant of King Wu."
The chamberlain announced his door and saluted, saying:
"His Royal Highness King Wu said that this memorial is not something that a prince like him should read, let alone one that he can review and correct."
"So, he asked the slave to be returned to His Majesty intact."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.
"That's it..."
He murmured,
"This kid Ke'er is really... cautious."
"This behavior... tsk tsk, it does look like me."
Li Er was stunned for a moment, and then reacted immediately.
This kid Li Ke has a very keen sense of politics! Don’t dare to go beyond the rules in the slightest when doing things!
This is rare.
"His Royal Highness also said that he was scared and asked for instructions from the emperor as to what his father's will was."
The attendant lowered his head and spoke with a very sincere attitude.
Li Shimin smiled slightly.
"I have nothing to show you. I was just excited and wanted to show him."
He waved and said,
"He is doing very well. You go back and tell him that he is almost ready. After a while, arrange for him to join the feudal clan."
"When the time comes, he can manage his own vassal to his heart's content and realize his ambitions there."
"I'm looking forward to him very much."
When the attendant heard this, he left with great gratitude.
Li Shimin looked at his leaving figure, stood up slowly, and stamped out the cigarette butts on the ground.
"Ke'er is like this, what about Qingque?"
He said behind his back,
"Let's take a look."
…
The palace of King Wei.
Unlike Li Ke who did not dare to overstep his bounds, when Li Tai received the memorial from Li Shimin, his first reaction was curiosity, and his second reaction was excitement!
Father, he actually asked him to review the memorial!
What does it mean?
Does this mean you want him to take over government affairs? !
Immediately, he summoned his close followers to discuss countermeasures.
And the two ministers closest to him are Wei Ting and Du Chuke!
One is from the aristocratic Webster family, and the other is Du Ruhui's younger brother. Both of them can be said to be heavyweight think tanks in the court!
"His Royal Highness King Wei, this may be a signal sent by His Majesty. He may be dissatisfied with His Highness the Crown Prince."
Wei Ting sat on the futon and said seriously,
"That's why he gave this memorial to you. You must know that historically, only His Highness the Crown Prince is qualified to handle government affairs. No matter how favored the other princes are, they can only be vassal kings!"
"And now, you have such a privilege! What kind of favor is this?"
Du Chuke also said:
"Yes, Your Highness, His Majesty is extremely partial to you! He has always liked you more, but the Crown Prince is the eldest son and you are the second son, so he is the Crown Prince."
"But the prince is not necessarily the future emperor! In history, there are not many people who succeed to the throne as princes!"
"On the contrary, he is the second son, and there are many people who have succeeded to the throne! Don't forget, your Majesty is not the eldest son! He is also the second son!"
The words between the two made Li Tai's heart beat violently!
yes!
The father is also the second son who succeeded to the throne!
He can do it, and so can he!
Since childhood, his father has been more partial to himself and more tolerant of himself.
And now, he is even more willing to open a literature museum by himself! This is also a signal - my father also founded the Literature Museum, and then there were eighteen bachelors! Only then did Datang's top think tank give him advice!
You can completely reproduce it yourself! Now, we are on the way to re-enactment!
And now...my father has sent me another memorial.
The more he thought about it, the more excited Li Tai became.
When he was a child, he didn't understand what a prince was and what an emperor was.
But now that he has grown up, he has completely understood it!
The emperor is the most powerful person in the world! He is the supreme Nine-Five Lord!
Who doesn't want to be?
Who doesn’t want to be a fool! Of course he also wants to be emperor!
It's just that because there is an eldest brother here, he doesn't have a chance... After all, the eldest brother's status has been determined long ago and cannot be shaken by him.
However……
Now the eldest brother's status seems to be a little shaken?
He seems... to have a chance? !
"What do you mean... is it possible that my father will depose my eldest brother and let me succeed to the throne?"
Li Tai swallowed and couldn't help but said,
"do you mean this?"
Wei Ting shook his head.
"No, it's not that time yet, there are just signs of it."
He said seriously,
"Now His Majesty is just a little disappointed with the prince, but it is absolutely impossible for him to have any intention of deposing him."
"Unless he becomes more and more disappointed with the prince, and becomes more and more fond of you. Only then will you have a chance."
Li Tai suddenly realized.
My chances are not great.
But at least it already exists!
"Then what should I do?"
He hurriedly asked,
"How can I make my eldest brother hated and me loved?"
When Wei Ting and Du Chuke heard this, they couldn't help but smile at each other.
His Highness the King of Wei still has ambitions! They didn't even need to seduce him, he already wanted to seize the legitimate son!
For them, this is a good thing!
If they can support King Wei to ascend to the throne, then they will definitely become Conglong heroes and will be the top ministers in the next dynasty!
By then, even Fang Xuanling and Sun Wuji will not be able to compare with them!
"First of all, you have to deal with this memorial."
Wei Ting said,
"In fact, the most secure thing about this memorial is to return it to His Majesty, because as a prince, he is not qualified to review it."
"But since we have a goal, we must take a gamble!"
"I bet His Majesty is sincerely letting you handle it, rather than testing it! I think the possibility of testing is unlikely. Our Majesty has never been that kind of person! He wants to test you, so there is no need to do such a thing!"
"So, this memorial must be reviewed well! And it must be handled perfectly!"
"In this way, your majesty can see your ability to govern, and he will definitely be happy! Who doesn't want his son to be capable?"
Li Tai nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, let's start with the memorial first!"
He held the memorial and said hurriedly,
"You have to help me! I'm not very familiar with government affairs. I've never had any contact with it!"
"You are all old men in the court, and your experience is greater than mine. Please help me make the review of the memorial more beautiful!"
Du Chuke smiled.
"Of course it's not difficult. For us, it's all trivial."
He pointed to the memorial and said,
"However, it's best for you to read it first, and then we'll give you our opinions, and then you can write it down."
"In this case, if His Majesty asks a question, you can answer it fluently, then it will look like the real thing!"
Bang bang!
Li Tai applauded.
"It makes sense, it makes sense! You've thought it through!"
He praised highly,
"Then let's get started!"
"Start with this one!"
Wow!
Li Tai opened the first memorial and read it carefully.
Wei Ting and Du Chuke were not ambiguous at all. They just sat next to Li Tai, explaining and answering questions for him.
I have to say that the early Tang Dynasty was really full of talents. For example, these two people might have been prime ministers and assistants in other dynasties, but in the Zhenguan Dynasty... I'm sorry, they could only be second-tier ministers, including Fang Xuanling. , Changsun Wuji’s tail gas lights can’t even be seen!
It is precisely because of this that they were frustrated and chose to support Li Tai!
…
An hour and a half later.
Li Tai yawned, and there was already a pile of reviewed memorials on the table.
"This is so tiring..."
"It's so hard to be the emperor, and I have to fight wits and courage with the people below. It's so hard, so hard!"
He smacked his lips twice and was so tired that he was sweating all over.
Wei Ting smiled.
"Your Highness, are you tired now?"
"This is just the most basic thing! When we encounter a difficult problem, one person cannot solve it at all. We have to hold a political hall meeting and let the smartest people in the court discuss it together!"
"Being an emperor has always been difficult. If you want to be a wise king, hard work and talent are indispensable."
After listening to his words, Li Tai drooped his head.
Hearing these words, he became less and less interested in the throne.
"Your Highness can master it so quickly, you are already extremely talented! Really, if you practice more in this state, you will become proficient in it soon!"
"Once you are proficient, you only need to glance at this type of memorial to completely solve it! This is called difficult people who don't know it, and people who know it don't have it difficult."
"With us helping you, don't worry, there will definitely be no problem!"
Du Chuke quickly comforted him.
Li Tai pursed his lips.
"That's easy for you to say, but I find it so annoying!"
He said reluctantly,
"How about forget it. I think being a prince is pretty good. Anyway, I don't need anything."
"We have everything we should have. Being an emperor gives you greater power, but the level of fatigue is hundreds of times greater!"
"It's boring, it's boring..."
Li Tai is smart, but he is lazy!
As his body size increases, his laziness becomes more and more serious... Now he can actually give up his desire for power for the sake of relaxation!
Of course, in a sense, he still wants to be a wise king subconsciously, which is a good thing.
"Your Highness! The emperor's power is not just greater, it is infinitely greater!"
Wei Ting said hurriedly,
"You think, being a prince is quite comfortable, but where does your comfort come from? The emperor didn't give it to you!"
"In other words, if the emperor wants to give it to you, then give it to you! But if one day he doesn't want to give it to you, you will have nothing! To put it more seriously, your life is in the hands of the emperor Stay!"
"If he wants you to live, then you live! If he wants you to die, then you die! You don't even have the strength to resist!"
"Don't talk about blood brothers. It's even more merciless when blood brothers kill each other! Just look at history and you will know!"
Du Chuke curled his lips.
Still need to look at history?
Just a few years ago! Didn’t His Majesty kill his most beloved relatives, friends, and brothers today?
Of course, they would not dare to give this example.
Even without citing this example, there are plenty of counterexamples in history.
Li Tai's face darkened.
"That's true……"
"Being a prince depends on the emperor's face. If he wants to cut off the vassal, I can only do it for him."
Wei Ting nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes! That's right!"
He kept saying,
"The emperor has great power! Think about it, if you become the emperor, you can do whatever you want!"
"If you want women, there can be thousands of beauties in the harem!"
"If you want to travel, then just like Qin Shihuang, he toured east and west. Wherever you go, countless people will kneel down and worship you!"
"If you want to fight, give an order and countless soldiers will shed their blood for you!"
"In a word - as long as you become the emperor, you can enlarge your desires infinitely! As long as they are things in the human world, they can be satisfied!"
"Such enjoyment, can a feudal prince compare with it?"
"With such authority, are you still afraid of the trivial government affairs?"
He followed the guidance and brought Li Tai back to the 'right path' again.
joke!
If you don’t want to be the emperor anymore, who can we rely on to stand up?
There was no way that Rezao could squeeze through the prince's side. Even if he stood on his side, he would not be able to compare to Changsun Wuji and the others, and the benefits would be very small.
Only by supporting King Wei to ascend to power can they have a chance to leap over the dragon's gate!
Therefore, we must strengthen Li Tai’s determination to win the title of heir!
"yes……"
Li Tai's heart was pounding, he clenched his fists and said,
"When you become the emperor... you can do whatever you want!"
"If I don't want to deal with those government affairs, I can leave them to you! Wouldn't it be nice to have a prime minister then?"
Wei Ting: "!!!"
Du Chuke: "!!!"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!"
"That's it! So you don't need to worry at all, Your Highness!"
The two of them were so excited when they heard this!
Isn't this what they want?
"……good!"
"Then go and fight! Anyway, it doesn't matter even if you lose. My father loves me so much and he won't do anything to me!"
Li Tai blew out two tubes of white air from his nostrils and said proudly,
"If I get the upper hand, it only means that my eldest brother is not good enough. I can't be blamed!"
"Originally! The second son is better than the eldest son! Isn't that what my father is like, don't you think so?"
Wei Ting: "Yes, yes!"
Du Chuke: "That's right! That's right!"
The three of them reached a consensus at this moment.
At this moment, a loud voice came:
"Your Majesty is here!"
The two diners were startled and got up quickly!
They can't be caught by Li Shimin! Otherwise, it will definitely arouse his vigilance!
"Go, hide in my bedroom!"
"Don't make any noise!"
Li Tai pointed in a direction and asked the two of them to hide in, and the cat got up.
After waiting for the silence to return to the room, Li Shimin had already stepped into the room.
"Qingque, what are you doing now?"
"Um?"
