In Liangyi Hall, Li Ke waited for a while before Li Shimin came back.
Seeing Li Ke coming, Li Shimin did nothing but said directly: "Let's go to the back with me."
Li Ke had no choice but to follow him. To be honest, he didn't want to go shopping with Li Shimin in the garden. Shopping with the emperor in the garden was scarier than shopping with a woman. After all, the latter only cost money and effort, while the former might get beaten.
In a small garden behind Liangyi Hall, Li Ke was following Li Shimin. There were not many other people following him. The guards were all following him from a distance, and behind them was Chang Lin.
"How do you feel about the situation in the court today?" Li Shimin suddenly asked as he stood by the pond.
"A flowing dynasty, an iron-clad family?" Li Ke tilted his head and replied casually. He had said this before.
Chang Lin, who was standing not far away, was speechless. Your Highness, King of Shu, couldn't you comfort His Majesty? But you hit the nail on the head.
"Ha." Li Shimin chuckled, "To a certain extent, Changsun Wuji is the uncle of the state and my eldest brother. But as you can see today, he is not like me, or to be precise, like our Li family. One heart."
"Dad, what are you thinking about? Didn't I tell you last time? When you become the emperor, you are bound to this country. To a certain extent, those wealthy families are clinging to you to suck blood. Worms." Li Ke said helplessly.
"Besides, from ancient times to our Tang Dynasty, women have been accessories. Most of the wealthy families are used for marriage, and their own happy families have never been considered." Li Ke added.
"You want to tell me about Changle's marriage again, right?" Li Shimin gave him a helpless look.
"No, I'm just stating a fact. Dad, you know it yourself. After your mother marries you, she will no longer be a member of the eldest grandson's family, unless the eldest grandson's family needs her." Li Ke also smiled and said, Not to mention now, even in modern times more than a thousand years from now, there are many people who have this kind of thinking.
"You can see clearly." Li Shimin glanced at Li Ke.
"You didn't come to me just to talk about this, right?" Li Ke felt helpless, "You are not the one who needs comforting. Besides, you can go to your mother or my mother to comfort you. Their embraces are warmer than mine."
Li Shimin rarely looked up and down with angry eyebrows, but looked at Li Ke up and down with a strange expression.
"What are you doing?" Li Ke felt a little scared when Li Shimin looked at him.
"Otherwise, I will make you the prince." Li Shimin suddenly said.
"Don't do it." Li Ke shook his head like a rattle without even thinking. It's annoying enough for Zhang Sun Wuji to stare at me. If I become the prince, all the ministers in the fucking court will have to stare at me. Looking at me, none of the twenty-four ministers of Lingyan Pavilion are easy to get along with, let alone the other ministers, and Wei Zheng.
Someone is beeping next to you when you are eating and sleeping. This is much scarier than the co-pilot who keeps beeping you while you are driving in the future.
The point is to offend Li Chengqian and Li Tai, and it's the kind of offense that will try to kill you.
Thinking about it, Li Ke felt shuddering.
Seeing Li Ke shuddering because he didn't know what he was thinking, Li Shimin's head was full of black lines. Is being an emperor so scary? ! Are you concerned? Do you think you will still be afraid of this? !
Chang Lin: "..."
It's fine for both of you, father and son, to be happy, but can you let me go down first next time you chat like this? Wouldn't it be scarier to sit in? Scary!
"Why are you unwilling? Let me tell you, being an emperor gives you too much freedom. You can do whatever you want and no one will stop you." Li Shimin followed the instructions.
"Dad, can you please stop deceiving yourself?" Li Ke was a bit dumbfounded, "If you have the ability, now you can recruit a brothel girl into the palace to be a noble concubine. I will believe what you say."
Li Shimin: "..."
"Dad, although I know it's hard to be an emperor, you can't live in a world where you deceive yourself every day." Li Ke said earnestly.
Chang Lin: "..."
"Why did I deceive myself?!" Li Shimin couldn't hold it back and got angry.
"Let me ask you, can you not go to court and indulge in three thousand harems every day?" Li Ke immediately became energetic and asked quickly.
Li Shimin: "..."
"Let me ask you again, can you never go to court and go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers at will?"
Li Shimin: "..."
"Can you chop off whoever's head you want and be a tyrant?"
Li Shimin: "..."
"Can you change history at will and order all books to be destroyed, so that you can unify China?"
Li Shimin's forehead was throbbing with veins.
"Can you change the laws of the Tang Dynasty at will and modify those laws that are not conducive to the development of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Can you deal with the powerful families at will and let them release their power?"
"Some small countries around are provocative and desperate. Can you send troops to destroy them at will?" Li Ke asked a series of questions directly.
"I can do this!" Li Shimin said angrily.
"Oh, I heard that several of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions were very disrespectful to you. Now you have destroyed them, such as Tuyuhun and Tubo." Li Ke said immediately.
Li Shimin: "..."
Li Shimin stared at Li Ke and said through gritted teeth: "I will destroy them sooner or later."
"Oh, I believe this. You can do it now." Li Ke shrugged.
Li Shimin: "..."
"You said that I deceive myself every day. I deceive myself to comfort myself. You are just here to make me angry, right? I gave birth to you just to make me angry, right?" As he said this, Li Shimin stretched his feet directly on Li Ke's butt. A kick.
Li Ke didn't dare to hide. He got beaten even more when he hid. He patted his butt and couldn't help complaining: "Dad, you are such a scoundrel. You hit me every time you say something wrong."
"There is no point in giving birth to a son without giving birth to a son." Li Shimin glared at him.
"Then you beat Li Tai. If you don't want to beat your Qingque'er, then there are Li You, Li Min, Li Yun, Li Zhen, Li Zhi..." Li Ke quickly counted on his fingers.
Li Min: You are really my brother.
Chang Lin: "..."
"Go away, you alone are enough. Why should I beat them? None of them are as cunning as you." Li Shimin glared at him, but didn't do anything again.
"Then tell me, are you...well...then I'm so angry with you, why do you always come to talk to me?" Li Ke shrank his head and said.
Li Shimin looked at him sideways: "What did you want to say just now?"
"No, no." Li Ke shook his head quickly.
"Okay, I'll be here all day long. Sooner or later, I'll be pissed off by you! I asked you to come here because of something. I'll ask Zuo Xiaowei to assign three thousand elite guards to you later. They will be your own personal guards. You I will pay for it myself." Li Shimin waved his hand and stated his purpose.
"Why do you suddenly give me so many troops? I have two thousand guards now. That's enough." Li Ke was a little confused. Why did Li Shimin suddenly add more guards to him? In theory, each prince has 2,000 guards, but it depends on whether he can afford them, except for those like Li Zhi who are still little kids at the moment.
Some are more than this, and some are less than this. Li Ke is neither more nor less, exactly 2,000 guards.
"Nonsense, why did you say I would protect you?" Li Shimin glared at him angrily.
"Dad, if you give me so many soldiers, you won't be afraid of me rebelling!" Li Ke couldn't help but ask.
"Get out." Li Shimin couldn't hold it back and stretched out his foot to kick him on the butt again. After the kick, Li Shimin glared at him and warned: "You can just say this in front of me, don't do it in front of other people." If you talk nonsense, be careful to let others take advantage of you."
