Li Shimin stroked his beard.
"never mind."
He hummed,
"Since he wants to know things in the world, it means that he actually wants to come back in his heart. It's just a tough talk! I'll just pretend I didn't see these little tricks of his!"
"Let him go through the trouble, just keep paying attention."
Changsun Wuji secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, and he was also a little envious.
Your Majesty is too partial to the Grand Master!
Establishing an intelligence organization is such a taboo matter that it would be a serious crime for any minister to be beheaded! In other words, if Xu Fenglei does this, the emperor will not pursue him.
Not only did they not pursue the matter, they even acquiesced!
Far away in Mount Jiuwei, even showing off to the emperor, he was still able to receive such honor and favor.
Looking at the Zhenguan Dynasty, who can compare?
"By the way, has the teaching sect passed over to the prince's side?"
Li Shimin asked suddenly.
Changsun Wuji nodded.
"Back to Your Majesty, Du Zhenglun and Zhang Xuansu have passed."
He hesitated slightly and then said,
"However, these two people are too upright and cannot tolerate sand in their eyes."
"I didn't even speak politely to His Majesty before. Now I'm going to coach the Crown Prince...will there be any problems?"
"After all, His Highness the Crown Prince is used to being undisciplined, and the Grand Master's teachings are not that serious. I am afraid that he will not adapt..."
Changsun Wuji now regards himself as a princeling, so he said this out of consideration for Li Chengqian.
"Haha, it's time to cure his lax habit!"
Li Shimin snorted coldly,
"Otherwise, why should he continue to be idle like this? He can't even understand a memorial! Qingque is much better than him!"
"Just let them teach you! Nothing will happen!"
Changsun Wuji nodded.
The emperor had said so, so it was hard for him to say anything, but vaguely, he always felt that something bad would happen.
…
East Palace.
Li Chengqian looked at the soles of his feet with a gloomy expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Brother."
Li Lizhi handed over a bowl of soup and said,
"It's time to take the medicine."
Li Chengqian didn't say anything, he just took the medicinal soup and drank it in one gulp.
"Li Zhi, tell me honestly."
"Is this disease of mine incurable? Look at the black sores on my feet, which show no signs of shrinking at all. I... feel so uncomfortable!"
he whispered.
Li Lizhi's expression was a little complicated.
"Brother, don't be anxious. You can't rush this kind of thing. You have to take care of yourself slowly."
She comforted,
"As you know, illness comes like a mountain falling, and illness goes away like a thread."
"It would be good if we can prevent it from expanding at the moment. Let's stop the disease first, and then we can find ways to shrink it."
"This can only be done slowly, there is no rush."
When Li Chengqian heard this, he couldn't help but lamented.
"All right."
He could only respond and then said,
"Thank you for your hard work. You take care of me every day, and your own career has been delayed."
"My condition is considered stable now. I just need to take my medicine on time. You don't have to accompany me."
"Let's go back."
Li Lizhi remained silent and raised her head slightly.
"Brother, I always feel that you are in a bad mood right now. I haven't seen you smile for a long time."
She whispered,
"You... be happy."
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly.
"Happy? How can I be happy?"
He said,
"My mother and I are like that, and my master is gone... There is no one who cares about me in this world."
"I'm still suffering from this disease. Why is it okay for Li Tai to eat all kinds of things every day, but I need to control my diet from an early age, and if I go out of my way a little bit, I'll be plagued by all kinds of diseases?"
"Why? God is so unfair to me! It's so unfair!"
Li Lizhi held the medicine bowl and frowned slightly.
"Brother, please don't say that. There are still many people who care about you in this world!"
She comforted,
"Like me, like Father, and like Qingque, we are relatives, we must all care about each other!"
Li Chengqian's face turned gloomy.
"Father, he cares about me? He cares about me! He only knows how to beat me and scold me! Look at me with that look!"
He said coldly,
"I even doubt that I am not his son at all!"
"Otherwise, why is he so harsh on me? Why is he so harsh on me?"
"I used to think that it must be something I did wrong that made my father unhappy and angry. But now, I understand... He is just partial! Completely partial!"
Li Lizhi: "..."
Listening to her eldest brother's words, she didn't know how to resolve the complaints against her father.
I can only listen silently.
Let's just use it as Big Brother's emotional trash can. His heart is indeed too depressed and he needs to vent.
"He just favors Li Tai!"
Li Chengqian clenched his fists and said bitterly,
"Every time he is smiling towards Li Tai, he immediately changes his attitude towards me! Show me a straight face!"
"If Li Tai does the same thing well, he can praise it to the heavens! But if I do it well? He won't even get a compliment, but he will find fault with me!"
"Also, whatever Li Tai wants, he agrees to it! If he wants to repair books, he will give money to others; if he wants to open a literature library, he will open a literature library! What about me? I can't even make a small request, and I don't deserve to make it!"
"Who am I? Why do you treat me like this? I am not your stepmother, am I? Even my stepmother, Li Ke, has never seen him treat me like this! He is also very nice to Li Ke. !”
"Why should I be treated differently? Where did I offend him? Where did I offend him?!"
"This has always been the case since I was a child!"
At this moment, Li Chengqian expressed all his grievances and complaints to his biological sister!
As he spoke, his eyes were already red and he almost shed tears!
"Okay, okay, brother... I know you feel wronged."
Li Lizhi hugged her elder brother's head and said softly.
"Maybe it's because you are the prince and my father sets your standards according to his own standards, so that's why you are like this. You have to be extremely good to be recognized by him."
"Everyone else is a vassal king. Naturally, you only need to be a little outstanding to gain recognition..."
"He thought so at first, but maybe he got used to it later..."
Li Chengqian had not shed tears yet.
After being hugged so tenderly by my sister, I couldn't bear it any longer, and my tears flowed down unsatisfactorily.
"Then I would rather not be this prince!"
"What good is this prince? It can only bring me pain and torture! I don't deserve it! No lame person can be a prince anyway. I am a lame now, I don't deserve it!"
"I'll give it to Li Tai, let me give it to Li Ke! I can be a prince with peace of mind! I don't want to have high hopes! I can't afford it, I can't afford it all!"
he cried.
Li Chengqian has always been a bit cowardly.
His excellence lies in his benevolent approach, which is kind and emotional at heart.
But what Li Shimin wants is a wise and courageous king who has no blind spots in all aspects! In order to let his son develop in this way, he even wrote a special book "Emperor Fan"!
Of course Li Chengqian couldn't do that... The source of the contradiction lies here.
Therefore, the more Li Shimin demands and expects, the more Li Chengqian wants to mess up and give up on himself!
Because he is not that material!
No matter how hard I squeeze it, I can't squeeze it! Forcing one out will only crush his heart!
"Brother, please don't say that..."
Li Lizhi quickly covered Li Chengqian's mouth and whispered,
"These are treasonous words! If my father finds out, he will be angry again."
"Be good... Calm down, no matter what, you have to live your life. From now on, you can clean up your cultivation... As long as you don't make any mistakes, my father will not come to trouble you."
"Second brother and I will come to see you from time to time."
Li Chengqian sneered.
"Li Tai? How could he come to see me? I haven't met him much this year!"
He said with a sullen face,
"The relationship between brothers has faded a long time ago! Maybe he is thinking about how to deal with me!"
"Maybe he wants to be the prince! Otherwise, why would he be so attentive to my father? He did this and that. Back then, my father opened a literature museum to recruit bachelors, and he also opens it now!"
"Father has nothing to say to him!"
"My father is the legitimate second son, and he is also the legitimate second son! Back then, my father was Yongzhou Mu, and my father also gave him Yongzhou Mu!"
"I also heard that Emperor Father wants to free up the Wude Palace for him to live in... He also said that if he gives birth to a son in the future, he will personally take care of him."
"Haha... I can't compete with him for favor. He is the winner, hahaha...",
Li Lizhi's face looked a little ugly.
"This...Father is indeed a bit too much!"
"Although it is right for a father to love his son, he also..."
He treated Li Tai, the king of Wei, with great honor and favor, and gave him various titles and benefits.
However, he treated his eldest son Li Chengqian with all kinds of neglect and often scolded him.
What does this mean?
She didn't know this before, but now that her elder brother said it, she felt that it was wrong!
"Brother, let me find an opportunity to talk to my father."
Li Lizhi stood up and said seriously,
"Or, I'll go talk to the eldest sister, and let the eldest sister talk to the father!"
"No matter what, you are the prince! Your status is unshakable! It's not impossible for my father to pamper his second brother, but at least he must have a bowl of water!"
Li Chengqian waved his hand feebly.
"No, no need..."
He smiled miserably and said,
"Then he will think that I am stirring up trouble behind his back, and he will scold me again."
"hehe……"
Li Lizhi: "..."
How could the relationship between father and son have reached this level?
Everything is my father's problem! But he doesn't realize it!
At this moment, an announcement came from outside:
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"The new teachers Zhang Xuansu and Du Zhenglun have arrived."
"His Majesty said that they will be responsible for all your future homework and will be your masters."
Li Chengqian laughed.
"Look, are you here to cause trouble for me?"
"These slanderous and rotten people are the people that Master has despised the most before! What can they teach? It's nothing more than scolding, scolding and complaining!"
"Father saw that my life was not miserable enough, so he sent these people to torture me!"
"Okay, okay... torture is torture, torture is torture, see who can torture the other!"
"come!"
With a cold face, he stood up and limped out.
"I suddenly had a whim today and wanted to make a dish!"
"Go and kill a horse! Go now! I want to eat horse meat and invite my two new masters to try it!"
Li Lizhi looked at Li Chengqian with an extremely complicated expression.
But now, she really can't change anything.
The only two people who can restore the eldest brother's mood are probably the queen mother and the master, right?
"Why……"
"Master, why did you run so far away and leave us alone?"
"We are okay...but brother really needs you..."
She walked out, muttering.
I have to discuss this matter with my eldest sister and try to get the master back as soon as possible.
This old man is the real Dinghai Shenzhen!
…
East Palace, inside the courtyard.
A large pot was set up, and several servants were running back and forth, collecting firewood and boiling water.
And a maroon horse was next to the cauldron, swaying its hooves uneasily.
Horses are spiritual. They seem to be aware of the bad intentions of the people around them, so they are extremely uneasy and even want to break away.
"What is this going to do?"
Zhang Xuansu walked into the courtyard, looked at the steaming cauldron, and frowned.
Du Zhenglun also looked unhappy.
Cooking should be done in the kitchen! Why did you move to a place like this?
Just like barbarians.
"A gentleman is far away from the kitchen. If you want to cook, go somewhere else. Don't pollute the main hall of the East Palace. This is a place for study and practice!"
Du Zhenglun waved his hand and said,
"Carry it away, carry it away!"
However, the waiter on the side smiled apologetically and said:
"I'm sorry, teachers. This is His Highness the Crown Prince's order. I dare not disobey it."
After hearing this, the two frowned more and more.
"What does the prince mean?"
Zhang Xuansu said displeasedly,
"What is the prince doing?"
"Is he having fun?"
The chamberlain smiled, cupped his hands and said:
"Of course not."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to welcome two teachers."
"He said that the highest etiquette for welcoming guests on the grassland is to cook horses! This is a higher standard than cooking cattle and slaughtering sheep!"
"Because horses are extremely precious even on the grassland. If you are willing to kill a horse to entertain guests, this means that you attach great importance to it!"
"So, you two, sit down and wait for His Highness the Crown Prince's reception!"
Zhang Xuansu: "..."
Du Zhenglun: "..."
"Nonsense!"
"Recklessly!"
When the two of them heard this, their noses almost became angry!
"The etiquette of the grassland barbarians, what kind of inferior etiquette is this! How can the majestic prince of the Tang Dynasty entertain us in this way!"
"I don't need anything else! I just need a cup of tea! Please don't do anything else! Your Highness, the Crown Prince, please don't do anything else! It's simply too ridiculous and outrageous! I think Your Highness, the Crown Prince, should learn etiquette!"
Zhang Xuansu and Du Zhenglun were both rude!
Based on what the prince did, in their opinion, it was time for him to be disciplined and disciplined!
Otherwise, we don’t know what jokes will be made in the future and the emperor will be embarrassed!
"hehe……"
At this moment, Li Chengqian slowly walked out with a sharp knife in his hand.
There was still a smile on his face.
