"But it's impossible for my father." Li Zhi's face fell and he said helplessly.
"Hehe, listen to me, there is a high possibility that it is okay. In this case, didn't you do very poorly in the final exam last semester?" Li Tai asked with a chuckle.
"Yeah." Li Zhi nodded, "Then what?'
"This is not simple. My father must be very concerned about your studies. You tell me that you want to go out during the summer vacation. You use the words of the third brother. You say that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. And Our Tang Dynasty is so safe now, you want to go out and have fun and see the world."
"And didn't you say before that you wanted to train in the army for two years? Do you want to serve in the army? Just tell your father that you will serve in the army in two years. There will definitely be no chance in the future. Now is the last time It’s a good opportunity, please ask Father to agree to it.”
"At this time, I think my father must be very angry. He said that you are so bad at studying and why are you still going out?"
"Then you promise my father that if you tell me how many places you will get in the final exam this semester, or how many achievements you will achieve, then your father will allow you to go out."
"I don't think this is a simple matter for you?" Li Tai looked at Li Zhi and asked.
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then began to think deeply.
Seeing Li Zhi like this, Li Tai knew that this little bastard really did poorly in the exam on purpose. He knew that he was still very good at studying and would not do so poorly in the exam.
"Well, how about I go try it?" Li Zhi was still moved. Li Tai's statement was indeed possible. Anyway, the fact that he went out to play was not government affairs and had no impact on Datang at all.
When the time comes, there is no need for Third Brother’s consent at all, as long as Father’s consent is enough.
If you put it this way, given that your father attaches great importance to your studies, as long as you dare to guarantee it, your father will probably agree. But in order to avoid getting his ass kicked, he still had to make his father angry first, and then take the opportunity to bring up the matter.
The best thing is to be at the mother's place. If the mother is there, the worst she can do is beat him. The mother's beating doesn't hurt, which is better than the father hitting him directly.
"Fourth brother, thank you so much, fourth brother." Li Zhi saluted seriously.
"Hey, judging from what you said, if it weren't for you, fourth brother wouldn't be able to get this position. Don't worry, if you can come out during the summer vacation, fourth brother will take you to have fun." Li Tai patted his shoulder quickly. He spoke.
"Thank you, fourth brother." Li Zhi was overjoyed.
When Li Tai and Li Zhi were discussing here, Li Shimin also learned about Li Ke's office in the former Rites Yamen.
He thought about it and thought, this won't work. Isn't this an excellent opportunity?
"Chang Lin." Li Shimin thought about it and spoke directly.
"Your Majesty, I am here." Chang Lin said.
"I dreamed about Keming again recently." Li Shimin sighed and said.
"Ah..." Chang Lin was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew who Ke Ming was. Du Ruhui, named Keming, who was named Lai Guogong, died of illness in the fourth year of Zhenguan.
"Your Majesty misses Duke Lai Guo so much, and is afraid of the death of Yongxing County Duke, which makes him feel emotional. If you know anything about Duke Lai Guo, you will definitely be grateful. When Duke Lai Guo was alive, he was in harmony with your majesty, and it was really great for him to make suggestions for your majesty. There is a great story in the Tang Dynasty, but it is a pity that Duke Lai fell ill and died young because God was jealous of the talented people." Chang Lin hurriedly bent down and saluted.
"Yes, I often dream today, dreaming about the agreement we made with Keming. He and I, the monarch, agreed that the Tang Dynasty would be stable in the future. When we have the opportunity, I and the monarch will go to Mount Tai together. Even if we are not mountain climbing, we must visit it. The majesty of Mount Tai.”
"Who knew that this agreement would result in an eternal separation between heaven and man, and I would never see my right-hand man again." Li Shimin said sadly.
Chang Lin was silent for a while and didn't know how to answer, but... what he was thinking in his mind was, is there such a thing? He has basically followed Li Shimin since the Qin Dynasty, although it is later than Du Ruhui.
But the meaning behind His Majesty's words is obviously what happened after His Majesty succeeded to the throne. After His Majesty succeeded to the throne, Chang Lin almost always accompanied Li Shimin and never left. If he and Du Ruhui had such an agreement, or two Someone said something similar, and it was impossible for Chang Lin not to remember it.
But...he confirmed that there was no such thing.
"This must be because Your Majesty is too nostalgic, so he thinks about it day by day and dreams about it at night." Chang Lin said silently.
"Hey, yes, I heard that Li Ke is working over there in the Yamen. You go find Li Ke and come over. Forget it, you wait first. You go and ask a maid to come over and help me comb my hair crown again." Li Shimin said. .
"Yes." When Chang Lin heard this, he turned around and called the maid. He didn't ask His Majesty why the hair crown was rearranged.
When the maid came in, Li Shimin's hair was already messy.
Chang Lin naturally didn't ask any more questions and just asked the maid to help Li Shimin tidy up his hair crown.
Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, Li Shimin watched the maid braid his hair again, and then said calmly: "Okay, don't hide these white hairs inside. There are so many gray hairs. Wherever you can hide them, it's normal." Just leave it outside."
"But your majesty, some white hair hidden among the black hair will make your majesty look more heroic." The maid is not young at all. She has served Li Shimin for many years, so she naturally knows his majesty's character.
"Hey, you've passed your age, so just comb it normally. There's no need to hide it. There's less and less black hair. There's nowhere to hide it." Li Shimin waved his hand.
"Yes." The maid stopped talking. She had served Li Shimin for so many years and knew Li Shimin very well. She had already made up her mind when His Majesty said this.
Although she thought His Majesty's white hair was not too much, if he hid the white hair within the black hair when he combed it, and then fixed it with a hair crown, it would be basically invisible.
Sure enough, her feeling was right. After combing it normally, His Majesty had at least several times more gray hair on his temples than usual, and his whole person suddenly looked much older.
If you hide these white hair, you will be much younger. After all, His Majesty is only forty-one years old this year.
After combing His Majesty's hair again, the maid opened her mouth but said nothing in the end, turned around and left. Alas, if she can't go back, she has to persuade Her Majesty the Queen.
"Okay, go and ask Li Ke to come over." Li Shimin waved his hand after the maid left.
Chang Lin already understood that His Majesty was laying the groundwork here. For His Majesty to be able to pave the way like this, someone must bear the consequences.
After receiving Li Shimin's call, Li Ke was a little helpless. He could only put down the book in his hand and went directly to Liangyi Palace.
