From the last six dots on the rice paper, Li Shimin could see that the handwriting was getting more and more urgent and confusing.
He couldn't even imagine it.
With what emotion did Kuan'er write these last words about the royal family of Li and Tang.
sorrow? sigh? Or is it helpless? !
Do you regret being born into the Li Tang royal family? Disappointed because it's his child?
"Father, what's wrong with you!!"
Xiao Sizi saw that Li Shimin was not in the right mood and ran over quickly.
"Father...Father is fine."
Li Shimin forced a smile, thought for a while, and said seriously: "Xiao Sizi, my father is asking you, how is your father?!"
"Ah, this..."
Little Sizi tilted his head: "Except for being harsh sometimes, everything is fine! Of course, of course, if you feed Sizi sweet and sour pork ribs, he is the best father!!"
Li Shimin laughed angrily: "You little guy, you think about eating all day long."
"My father is the most permissive towards you. He may be a bit patriarchal, but he is indeed the most permissive. Even you feel that your father is strict. I don't know how Cheng Qian, Kuan'er and Tai'er think of me..."
"My father did something very terrible back then. Since then, except for your mother and queen, everyone's eyes have changed when they look at my father. Perhaps, Chengqian and the others... are all very disappointed in my father."
The words fell.
As if touching a scar in his soul, Li Shimin's eyes turned red and tears seemed to fall.
Just then,
Xiao Sizi stretched out his little hand and covered Li Shimin's red eyes.
"Father, don't cry. Although I don't know what you are doing, crying is a child's privilege. You are already an adult. It will be embarrassing to cry!!"
"Humph! Sizi will help you block it, so no one will see you cry."
"Of course, Si Zi saw it! But it's just..."
Little Sizi came close to Li Shimin's ear and whispered softly: "Secretly tell Father, as long as Father gives Sizi lots and lots of sweet and sour pork ribs, then Sizi can be blind!!"
puff……
The sad Li Shimin was amused by the little guy again.
No wonder her second brother dotes on her so much, this little guy is a living treasure.
"Okay, father, don't cry."
"The sweet and sour pork ribs you want are also available. Let's go and clean up. We, father and daughter, will have a meal with your royal brothers."
Li Shimin wiped his red eyes, took the little guy's hand and walked outside.
This time the problem of the victims was resolved, and since the family banquet had not been reported for a long time, Li Shimin took this opportunity to ask the imperial kitchen to prepare more delicious food for the family banquet.
"Ah? Big brother and the others are here now, wuwuwu, father, Sizi really doesn't like this kind of occasion."
Xiao Sizi was a little defeated.
Because her second brother often didn't attend family dinners, she thought in her simple mind that family dinners were just like jackals and tigers, so she often didn't attend.
"It's okay, Father is here."
Li Shimin gently touched Xiao Sizi's head, thought for a while, and added: "In the words of your second brother, your father will protect you."
…………
Chengqian Palace.
study.
Li Chengqian was writing poetry, with Chen Shuda and Wang Gui beside him.
Chen Shuda and Wang Gui are Li Chengqian's disciples. They are responsible for teaching Li Chengqian etiquette and behavior, and are also responsible for making suggestions.
The seat on the left in front of Li Chengqian is Changsun Wuji.
"Oh? So, uncle, my second brother is so hidden."
Li Chengqian was extremely surprised.
The mansion has Juliang, Luban Lock...
These two treasures solved the huge dilemma of the Tang Dynasty, and their reputation was enough to resound throughout the Tang Dynasty.
This is something he can't do.
"That's right, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Chu was your biggest enemy before you ascended the throne."
"But fortunately, he has no intention of fighting. He only cares about one third of an acre. So in my opinion, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, you only need to win over His Highness the King of Chu and show your favor to him."
"As long as your two brothers are in harmony, when you ascend the throne and become emperor, His Highness the King of Chu will be your greatest help."
Changsun Wuji put forward his own opinions.
Li Chengqian's writing hand paused slightly.
Immediately, he smiled and said: "Uncle, Cheng Qian understands."
Changsun Wuji knew that Li Chengqian was going to attend a family dinner later, so he came over to give him a heads up and left.
After he leaves,
Chen Shuda sighed and said: "Your Highness, you have found a stumbling block on your way to the throne."
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is neither a mountain nor a river. I didn't expect to hide such a divine object in the palace. It is really terrifying! This will be a strong opponent!!"
Wang Gui shook his head and said: "You can't say that. Company commander Sun Pushe said that His Royal Highness the King of Chu does not intend to compete for the throne. He has an extremely keen sense of smell. I also think that we can adopt a win-win strategy."
The two held different suggestions.
The argument lasted for a long time with no result, so they all turned their attention to Li Chengqian.
At this time, Li Chengqian was still writing, and while writing, he said: "Two gentlemen, there is no need to get entangled, I have already made my decision."
Chen Shuda raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? I wonder what His Highness the Crown Prince thinks?"
Li Chengqian still focuses on calligraphy.
"It's good to have my second brother to help me, but he has been hiding so far, hiding huge amounts of food, and other secret treasures. Does he really... have no intention of competing?"
Chen Shuda and Wang Gui's eyes flashed.
"His situation is so similar to that of his father."
"The same young hero, the same million-year-old second son, the same prince who has been appointed..."
"Perhaps Gu's second brother knew that his father supported Gu a long time ago and had the experience of his father's generation in the Xuanwu Sect. That's why he made this decision and chose to hide, paralyzing his father and Gu, and letting everyone treat him. Having false perceptions allows you to implement your own plans.”
"Gu, I don't want to become the second Li Jiancheng."
Li Chengqian put down his pen and ink.
The words he spoke were calm but full of hostility.
"It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is planning to go against Changsun Pushe's opinion. Will that make Changsun Pushe unhappy?!"
Wang Gui stroked his beard.
"Well, uncle, he is old, and now the world is dominated by people like Gu."
"I only know that if you just wait for the opportunity, you will never get it."
"I cannot put all my hopes on the support of my father. The experience of Li Jiancheng is still vivid in my mind, and we should learn from history."
"As for my uncle's displeasure...behead him first and tell him later. This is the principle that my father entrusted to me back then. When my second brother goes to hell, no matter how displeased my uncle is, he will not be able to resurrect the dead."
There was an extremely dangerous light in Li Chengqian's eyes.
Looking at the sharp-edged Li Chengqian, Chen Shuda and Wang Gui couldn't help but sigh, His Highness the Crown Prince was becoming more and more emperor-like. They felt that they... most likely made the right bet.
"clatter……"
at this time.
Li Chengqian opened the rice paper he had been writing on for a long time.
I just saw what was written on it.
"You will be a hero in life, and you will be a hero in death."
The writing pen moves like a dragon, sonorous and powerful.
He hung this verse on the wall, turned his back to Chen Shuda and Wang Gui, focused entirely on the verse, and said: "Two gentlemen, please make arrangements for me. I need all the swordsmen, archers, and so on." When my brother returns, it will be time... to launch troops."
