When Li Shimin stepped into the house, he saw piles of memorials on the table.
There were several books spread out in front of Li Tai.
Obviously.
Different from Li Ke's sensitive taboos, Li Tai chose to review the memorials generously.
For Li Shimin, this is not a minus point, but rather a bit curious.
"Go back to Father."
"My father sent me the memorial, and I didn't dare to show any signs of neglect. I reviewed it wholeheartedly."
Li Tai stepped forward to meet his father, touched his round belly, and said with a smile,
"I forgot to eat."
"Father, do you want to eat with your child?"
Li Shimin looked a little surprised.
"Good boy, you are quite focused!"
He smiled and said,
"How can you be so focused on doing this kind of thing! Is it possible that you are born to manage politics?"
"Okay, okay, my son has a lot of potential! I happen to be a little hungry, so let's go get some food. Father, take a look at your achievements!"
Li Tai responded and ordered the attendants with a poop:
"Go! Make a delicious meal!"
"Father is here today, so let's make it a little lighter! Don't make big fat meat! But there must be fish!"
"As ordered." The attendant stepped back and went to the kitchen.
A beloved prince like him always has a separate kitchen in his palace, and the chefs are all chefs from the imperial kitchen, who prepare meals for him according to his personal preferences.
At this moment, Li Shimin was looking through the memorials that Li Tai had corrected, from the casualness at the beginning to the seriousness later.
By now...he was even a little shocked!
"Qingque...this, you corrected this all by yourself?!"
Li Er said in surprise,
"Is there anyone helping you?"
"How can you be so sophisticated?!"
Li Tai glanced at the memorial and said carelessly:
"No one is helping me!"
"I figured it out by myself, Father, is this difficult?"
"My child has read a lot of history books before. Many of the answers to the memorials can be found in the history books. My memory is pretty good. I can write them down silently without reading them."
"For example, the inspiration for this memorial's response came from "Turn Left."
"Well, for that part, my child's thinking comes from "The Doctrine of the Mean". In fact, these ancient classics have already explained all the principles clearly!"
"Master once said that there is nothing new under the sun! It's all new wine in old bottles! As long as your brain is not stupid, just use one thing!"
Li Tai is very confident at this moment!
Because of these memorials, both Wei Ting and Du Chuke analyzed them in detail with him.
Therefore, even if his father wants to ask a question, he can answer it fluently without any flaws!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..."
"Qingque, Qingque, my father really didn't expect that you would have such understanding and wisdom!"
Li Shimin held the memorial and couldn't help but praise,
"You are such a surprise to my father! Really, you are really good at it!"
"Haha, hahahaha..."
What could make an old father more gratified than his son having a promising future?
"Father, what do you mean by the child's response?"
Li Tai raised his head and scratched his head and asked.
"Good! More than good? It's simply too sophisticated! It's not like a child of your age can approve it!"
Li Shimin read several memorials in succession, pawed his hands and praised,
"Your elder brother is far behind you! He is still in the exploratory stage, and many of his responses are very immature."
"Your level is better than that of my father back then! When my father was at your age, he only thought about fighting and made no achievements in culture and governance!"
"You are better than my father... Oh! This is the benefit of liking to read! Reading can help you understand things. Once you understand the truth, everything else will be clear to you!"
Listening to his father's praise, Li Tai felt happy and even a little elated.
Dealing with memorials is the emperor's basic skill.
And in this area, he already beats his elder brother by a lot!
"Actually, the child still feels that he has not read enough books..."
Li Tai said modestly,
"And the children have realized over the years that just reading is not that effective, or...cannot allow a person to quickly improve his knowledge and knowledge."
"Only when a group of well-educated people communicate with each other, learn from each other, and even debate! Only in this way can we make progress!"
"This is exactly why I want to set up a literature museum."
Li Shimin nodded repeatedly.
"Your idea is good. My father thought the same way when he established Hongwen Hall."
He praised,
"If a person studies alone, even if he is extremely talented, his progress will still be very slow."
"Only when a group of people read together, communicate together and make progress together can they make rapid progress! There are some truths that you don't understand and you can't understand. Maybe someone else will enlighten you right away!"
"Father allows you to build a literature library! What else do you lack? Do you need help?"
Li Tai's eyes lit up.
"It's not difficult to recruit people...the main thing is funding..."
Now that his father spoke, he naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to make a request.
"As you know, many well-educated people don't bother to make money. They only focus on learning."
"So, while recruiting them, we also have to support them, which requires a lot of money..."
Li Shimin nodded.
"This is... how much money do you need? Ten thousand taels of silver, is that enough?"
When Li Tai heard this, he was immediately elated.
"That's enough, that's enough!"
He said hurriedly,
"Actually, they don't really care about money or enjoyment, as long as they have enough food and accommodation."
"Ten thousand taels of silver, enough for several years! Thank you, Father, Father is so generous! Thank you, Father!"
Although he is a prince, he is still in the palace after all. He has not yet gone to the local government to become a vassal, and he has no chance to make money.
So although there is no shortage of material comforts, there is actually not much money.
Now he had ten thousand taels of silver funds, which made him extremely happy!
"Haha, what are you talking about? We are father and son. Why are you so polite?"
Li Shimin touched his head and said with a smile,
"It's only ten thousand taels, it's nothing to my father."
"Father, I hope you will make good use of this money to improve your knowledge. We, the royal family, must also create a seed for reading and lead the world's scholars!"
"I hope it's you, Qingque. My father has high hopes for you! You must not let my father down!"
Li Tai looked stern and nodded solemnly.
"Father, don't worry!"
"Children must devote themselves to learning! In the end, they must apply what they have learned!"
"Just like this review! Make good use of the knowledge you have learned, so that the child can help his father!"
Li Shimin looked extremely pleased when he heard this.
"Okay, okay..."
"If you think so, my father is really happy."
He patted Li Tai on the shoulder and encouraged,
"Qingque, do a good job!"
"When the time comes, my father will send you more memorials to test your results!"
"If you can handle things properly, it will be fine if my father leaves some of the political affairs to you!"
Li Tai's breath was suffocated.
My heartbeat missed half a beat!
What does this...mean? !
Dealing with political affairs represents power! Only the emperor and a few ministers and assistants are qualified to deal with it!
If he could get a part of it, it would be equivalent to getting the supreme power from his father!
If my father is willing to share this power, does that mean that... I will really have a chance in the future...
The more he thought about it, the more excited Li Tai became!
He suddenly felt that he was much closer to the throne!
At the same time, Wei Ting and Du Chuke, who were eavesdropping in the bedroom, looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
It seems.
His Majesty loves King Wei even more than they imagined!
The potential of King Wei's team has greatly increased!
The possibility of them becoming heroes from Conglong has also greatly increased!
"Don't dare..."
Li Tai suppressed the excitement in his heart and said with a little fear,
"Actually, children shouldn't read this memorial."
"After all, the child is going to join the vassal in the future. Logically speaking, the vassal king is not qualified to contact government affairs. This time, the child did not think too deeply, so he took it over and took a look."
"In the future, please ask my father not to send memorials to my children...otherwise, others will gossip about me."
This move is called retreating to advance!
Li Shimin didn't know that Li Tai had learned to use his mind when he grew up, so he took the bait.
"What's this?"
Li Er said displeasedly,
"You don't have to be so cautious! After all, this world is mine and yours too!"
"Being able to handle government affairs is a reflection of a prince's excellence! If the prince can't do it, then other princes can't do it, right?"
"Qingque, don't think about what you don't have, just use your talents! My father just wants to see how capable you are!"
"Understand?"
Li Tai nodded obediently.
"Yes, Father."
He said obediently,
"Children listen to their father. Whatever you say is what you say."
As he said that, he stood up, stood still with his fat body, and rubbed his father's shoulders with his fleshy hands.
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.
This kid Li Tai is sweet-tongued, considerate, and has a high level of literary literacy.
He loved dealing with people like this, let alone his own son.
At this time, dinner was served.
Platefuls of delicacies were delivered to the two of them.
"Hey, you kid...you have quite a sumptuous meal."
Li Shimin looked at the delicacies in front of him and couldn't help but say,
"No wonder I'm so fat and strong. I eat these every day. How can I not get fat?"
"You, it's time to lose weight, otherwise you'll be really fat one day!"
Li Tai smiled.
"I have lived for so many years, but I have never heard of anyone dying of obesity."
He said with a smile,
"As long as we are alive... we still have to enjoy our food and drink."
"It's just like your father smoking. You can't quit. It's always less harmful for your children to eat than if you smoke."
"Here, try this scallop, it tastes really good."
Li Shimin laughed dumbly.
yes.
Everyone has their own quirks.
Qingque just likes to eat and is just a little fatter... This is not a big problem at all!
"Okay... I originally have a lot of food taboos, which were set by your master."
Li Shimin sighed lightly,
"Today...let's make an exception! Try these delicacies!"
"Move your chopsticks!"
Kaka.
The father and son went back and forth, feasting on the delicious food.
"Qingque... Speaking of which, do you miss your master?"
Li Er took a mouthful of rice and said casually,
"Your eldest brother misses him terribly..."
Li Tai nodded and shook his head.
"My child does miss his master, but he misses his mother even more."
He lowered his head and chewed the shrimp head, and said slowly,
"Although Master is not in Chang'an, he is still safe after all. If you want to see him and talk to him, you can go at any time."
"But the queen mother... could only lie there all the time, unable to speak."
"Sometimes, the child misses his mother so much that he will even hide in bed and cry secretly at night... Father, you don't laugh at the child, do you?"
Li Shimin put down his chopsticks and looked moved.
Crying secretly under the covers...
Why doesn't he have such an experience?
At this moment, father and son reached a consensus.
"Qingque... you are such a filial child, so good. If your mother knew about it, she would definitely be pleased."
The corners of Li Er's eyes were slightly red, and he comforted softly,
"do not worry,"
"Your mother is getting better and better. Her complexion and breath have recovered a lot in the past few days."
"Given time, she will definitely wake up, and our family will be able to be reunited by then. There will be such a day, do you believe it?"
Li Tai nodded firmly!
"I believe it, kid!"
"The queen mother will definitely wake up! She will definitely not be able to let go of my father and us!"
There was no scheming in these words, they came purely from the heart.
No matter what little Jiujiu is in his heart, his longing and love for his mother are real!
"Yep……"
Li Shimin nodded repeatedly and said with great determination,
"She will definitely wake up, I'm waiting for that day!"
Li Tai suddenly said:
"Father, I would like to take part of the ten thousand taels of silver you just allocated to build a statue to pray specifically for my mother."
"do you think it's OK?"
"If the idol is made well, the child will worship it every day!"
Li Shimin was startled.
This kid also practices metaphysics.
But...why isn't he? When hope is slim, people often place their hope in metaphysics, even if it is a sustenance or a little comfort.
"...Okay, Father is ready."
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said,
"Then my father will give you another five thousand taels. You can build a few statues of gods and Buddhas. When they are completed, my father will go with you to worship and pray for blessings!"
"Okay?"
Li Tai looked surprised, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Shimin.
"Thank you, Father, thank you, Father!"
"Father is truly the best father in the world!"
Li Shimin laughed and raised his hand to help him up.
"Okay, okay, don't kowtow..."
He smiled and said,
"If it gets damaged, my father will be very distressed."
"I feel so comforted by your filial piety! Qingque, my father feels more and more now that you are the best and the best among my children..."
Li Tai looked up suddenly.
"real?"
