His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who was playing tricks, could not escape His Majesty Li Er's fate.
Lying on the bed in the palace, waiting for his fourth brother Li Tai to give him the medicine, he finally understood: he would have to pay back the money after he came out to fool around.
"Hiss... Xiao Tai, please be gentle!" Li Kuan wailed and pounded the bed with his hands. At the same time, he did not forget to spread his free thoughts to his younger brother: "Xiao Tai, just wait and see. When I am strong enough in the future..."
"Second brother, what the eldest brother did was really unethical!" Li Tai patiently applied the medicine for the second brother, while not forgetting to complain about his eldest brother: "Even the third brother interceded for you, and the eldest brother also said Well done..."
"Nonsense!" Li Kuan rolled his eyes at Li Tai helplessly: "The eldest brother is the prince! If he pleads for me at that time, it's because he thinks my father didn't beat me hard enough! Alas, it's my fault. Getting carried away..."
Li Kuan thought with some regret: Why didn't he think of using Han Gaozu to kill the white horse as a sophistry?
Later, when I thought about it carefully, it was wrong. The statement that someone other than the Liu family could not be king was a declaration made by Han Emperor Liu Bang after he suppressed the rebellion. But in today's Tang Dynasty, there are as many as ten kings with different surnames. If I can't grasp what I'm saying right now, my father will most likely finish me off, and then he'll have to go out and put out the fires himself.
Then wait for General Tiance to come back...
I don’t know if I can escape by hiding in my hometown in Longyou...
"Second brother, what are you thinking about?" Li Tai, who didn't take anything to heart, asked curiously after finishing applying the medicine and seeing his second brother looking thoughtful.
"Xiao Tai," Li Kuan touched his chin and looked at his fourth brother: "Do you think it's time for me, my second brother, to be crowned king?"
Otherwise, Li Kuan is truly a wise man.
In Li Kuan's opinion, in order to avoid the above-mentioned situation where "one day something accidentally comes to light and someone is so frightened that he is in panic all day long", Li Kuan decided to ask his father for a prince.
After all, in Li Kuan's view, it was impossible to rebel, and he was just having fun by being naughty and mischievous.
So, how wrong can he be?
The most I can do is cut off my royal title.
Anyway, when the eldest brother takes over, why not discuss it with him later on about what kind of king he wants to be?
Therefore, the filial son Li Kuan's character of doing whatever he wanted made him forcefully drag himself to the Tai Chi Hall where Li Er worked with the help of Li Tai.
The two brothers were very strict this time and refused the attentive support from Zhang Nan, the chief internal officer. He put his arm around the shoulders of Li Tai, who was a head shorter than him, and tilted his neck to look at Zhang Nan, who was still much taller than the two brothers when he bent over. : "Where's my dad?"
Although Li Er was moved when Li Kuan called him that for the first time, he began to try to remind Li Kuan to call him father, but the rebellious Li Kuan refused. His reason was also very straightforward: "What? Yes, I brought you here? When I call you daddy, I, Li Kuan, will give you Li Er some face..."
Li Kuan tried to finish the next words, but the irritable Li Shimin didn't give him a chance.
I still remember that the wind in Ganlu Palace was very strong that night. His Highness the Second Prince, who was asked to face the wall and think about his faults, turned around and called his father "foolish king" and then ran to Hongyi Palace to squeeze into bed with his grandfather Li Yuan.
Of course, the reason why the angry Li Er didn't chase him out barefoot was because Changsun stopped him.
only……
God knows that Li Yuan, who had originally planned to discuss life events with his arms around two beauties aged twenty-eight, saw his grandson clambering onto his bed. The old gangster's only remaining sense of shame in his life made him quickly The pink bellyband on the corner of the bed was hidden under his pillow, and then the grandfather and grandson had a sound sleep.
However, the scolding that Li Er was summoned to Hongyi Palace the next day, and Li Yuan who scolded his son righteously, still had some personal emotions in it.
After all, when he saw the loose-fitting beauty quietly getting off the dragon bed from the other side in her bra, with her grandson in her arms, Li Yuan swore at that time that he must make his wife look good, and you must teach your children to look good too. Come on, if this brat breaks in next time when Nai Gong is raising his gun and mounting his horse, and he is scared out of his mind, can you be responsible?
Therefore, Li Er, who had learned a painful lesson, had a resigned attitude towards what Li Kuan called him.
However, in the eyes of others, Li Er's attitude is proof that he loves Li Kuan, a son who has not grown up beside him since childhood.
Of course, if this statement was learned by Li Kuan in the future, this guy would probably sneer at it.
But for now, this beautiful misunderstanding still brought a lot of benefits to Li Kuan.
For example, Zhang Nan insisted on asking for permission from Li Kuan. According to past practice, His Majesty is currently discussing matters in the palace, so people must not be allowed in, and he should not even enter the palace to report any disturbance.
But if this person is Li Kuan, then we have to tell another story.
Because this gentleman might try to break in through the window while the palace people are not paying attention...
After Zhang Nan thought about it again and again, he decided to risk being punished by His Majesty and go to the palace to report it. This would save him from causing a bigger trouble and he would not be able to trap him.
"Your Highnesses, please stay here and don't move around. I will leave immediately to communicate with you..." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he walked into the main hall with small steps.
Li Kuan was left looking at the other party's retreating figure with a confused look on his face, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. Then, he turned to Li Tai and said, "Brother, why do I think this bitch just took advantage of us two?"
Li Kuan swore that if the other party brought out an orange later, he, Li Kuan, would give him a thumbs-up regardless of anything he said today, so that the other party would know what it means to understand that brother understands and cannot take advantage of him.
"Second brother, what are you talking about?" Li Tai on the side glanced stupidly at the nagging Li Kuan. Then he took advantage of Li Kuan's hand on his shoulder and did not need his own hand to help him, and reached out to take something out from his arms. An oil paper bag came out, with several pieces of freshly baked chestnut cake neatly stacked inside.
Li Tai picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, chewing it happily. Of course, adhering to the principle of sharing happiness, he held the oil paper bag in front of Li Kuan: "Second brother, do you want to eat?"
"Alas..." Li Kuan glanced at his younger brother helplessly, and patted his belly half amusedly and half teasingly: "Tai... Listen to the second brother, if you have nothing to do on weekdays, go for a run or do some exercise. You... The brat likes reading poetry and books so much on weekdays, so in the future he must look like a beautiful tree facing the wind, otherwise it will be difficult for you to have bright clothes, angry horses, and red sleeves all over the house."
"Second brother, I don't understand what you are talking about." Li Tai put the oil paper bag into his arms with a straight face. For no reason, the little fat man just suddenly felt that the chestnut cake in his mouth was no longer fragrant.
Not long after, Zhang Nan, who had entered the palace, withdrew with a respectful expression, then walked quickly to the two brothers, saluted respectfully, and then said: "Your Majesty has a decree to declare the two princes to enter the palace."
"Let's go." Li Kuan waved his hand, and Li Tai started to help his second brother up. Zhang Nan couldn't see it and wanted to help him, but the little fat man slapped him away.
Are you kidding? My second brother can be supported by ordinary people?
When brothers Li Kuan and Li Tai wandered into the hall, the brothers discovered that Li Er was not the only one in the Tai Chi Hall today.
A fair, fat, middle-aged uncle with a beautiful beard was looking at his nephew with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince, His Highness the Fourth Prince."
"Uncle." Li Kuan called Changsun Wuji "uncle." Li Taicai next to him reacted and called him uncle.
"Uncle." Li Tai's voice was a little soft, probably because there were three other people in the hall besides Li Er, who was sitting in the main seat and looked unhappy, and Changsun Wuji, who was sitting below him with a smile on his face. He was watching him without saying a word.
Two scribes and one military general are the pillars of the country.
Among the two scribes, the one with Chinese character face and pale complexion is Fang Xuanling.
"Hello, Mr. Fang!" Li Kuan could be more casual with his uncle, but for Fang Xuanling, he still greeted Fang Xuanling loudly, with a little more enthusiasm in his tone.
Then, Li Kuan turned his attention to the dark-skinned man sitting opposite Fang Gong, staring at him without saying a word: "Hello, Mr. Du!"
"Your Highness," Du Ruhui smiled and nodded to Li Kuan as a greeting.
Finally, Li Kuan turned his attention to the only general present.
The other party was also looking at him thoughtfully at this moment.
"Dad," Li Kuan suddenly turned to look at Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne: "What happened? Why did you call General Hou into the palace?"
What's going on? I haven't received any news that there is another Xuanwu Gate incident?
"This is not something you should care about!" Li Er often felt at a loss when it came to this stinking brat in front of him. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his brow: "Let's talk about it. I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything." Your Highness, the Second Prince, what do you plan to do when you come to see me this time?"
"Oops! Dad!" Li Kuan was a little embarrassed. He glanced at the humerus ministers in the hall, gritted his teeth, and decided to explain his purpose: "Then what... Dad, are you hungry?"
Li Kuan, who was half-cowarded, ignored the sad eyes of his younger brother and forcefully took out the bag of leftover chestnut cakes from Li Tai's arms, limped to Li Er's side, and squatted down regardless of the surprised looks of others.
Li Kuan handed the cake to Li Er: "Dad, want to try it?"
"Huh?" Li Er sneered, glanced at his son, reached out and picked up a piece of chestnut cake, pretended to put it into his mouth, and chewed it gently.
"Ha, is it delicious?" Li Kuan looked at Li Er with a silly smile.
Little did they know how inexplicably shocked this scene was in the eyes of Fang Xuanling and others.
When did Your Majesty... treat others so casually?
"I only give you one chance to speak." After finishing the cake, Li Er looked at his son who was obviously asking for something. He sighed slightly in his heart, and then kindly gave the other person a chance to speak.
"Dad, since you asked the question sincerely, I have no choice but to be merciful and tell you boldly!" Li Kuan saw his father asking, so he pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then said decisively: "You Seeing as my son is not young anymore, isn’t it time for him to be crowned king?”
"Become a king?" It has to be said that Li Kuan's sudden request made Li Er unable to withstand it for a while.
But who is Li Er? After experiencing a brief moment of surprise, Dangjiu regained his composure.
"Oh? Kuan'er, why did you suddenly make this request?" Li Er wanted to know how his son, who did not follow common sense in everything, thought of this.
"No...Dad..." Seeing his father's attitude, Li Kuan immediately became unhappy. However, due to the wound on his buttocks, he couldn't sit still yet, but it was uncomfortable to squat half way, so he suddenly He straightened up, crossed his hands across his chest and said, "Dad, you can't lie to a child."
"Where do we start talking about this?" Li Er raised his head slightly and looked at his increasingly unruly son. There was no anger in his heart, he just felt it was funny.
"I am your son, and I don't want to be crowned king?" Li Kuan looked at his father with wide eyes: "My son will be ten years old this year. Is there a prince in the world who has not been crowned king in ten years?"
"It really does happen..." Changsun Wuji, who was on the side, was worried that his eldest nephew would be too arrogant and suffer consequences later, so he kindly reminded him.
"Uncle!" Li Kuan turned around and glared at Changsun Wuji: "I am here to discuss important matters with my father. Can you please stop interrupting?"
have to……
Changsun Wuji pursed his lips, you bastard, you really don’t know what’s good and what’s good. I’m sorry that the injury you suffered earlier was not caused by Erlang, right?
"It's not impossible to become a king."
Just when Li Kuan was arguing angrily with his cheap uncle, Li Er suddenly interrupted the two of them.
"Uncle, let me tell you, I will take someone to squat with my cousin when I get back..." Li Kuan, who was talking harshly to Changsun Wuji, suddenly heard his father's words and immediately turned around and stared at him with a flattering face. Li Er said: "Dad, you have finally figured it out!"
"Can't you think it through? Your kid is planning to go to Changsun Chong." Li Er said, half teasingly, half jokingly. Then he stood up and looked at his son who was beaming with joy: "Since you want to be crowned king, then you have to do it in the future. With the appearance of a prince, it would be shameful for you to continue to behave as you did before."
"Dad! Don't worry! I..." Halfway through the answer, Li Kuan, who was in high spirits, suddenly had four big words in his mind: No! forget! Beginning! Heart!
"Dad, I try my best to..." Li Kuan felt that sometimes he still had to be strict when speaking.
"You bastard..." Li Er was also amused by Li Kuan's rigor at this time.
But at the same time, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who had been spectators, looked at each other, and they obviously understood something in each other's eyes.
It seems that His Majesty is planning to take advantage of the opportunity of conferring the title of king on the second prince to attack the local Qi Wang...
Unlike the scheming of Li Shimin and his ministers, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who was sometimes naive and reluctant at that time, could almost be said to be happily unable to find the direction of Hongyi Palace after receiving his father's promise.
"Dad, I just realized that you are so kind! Hehe..." Li Kuanyi smiled, his eyebrows curved, very much like his grandmother.
"It wasn't good before?" Li Er glanced at his son, but he wasn't really angry.
"Alas..." Li Kuan scratched his head after hearing this, not knowing how to answer the question, but then his clever little brain thought of a way to break the deadlock: "Dad, what kind of king are you going to make me?"
"Huai Wang, what do you think?" Li Er glanced at his son and thought that he would have to leave a message to Li Chengqian in the future: no matter what, he must fight against all opinions and arrange a decent posthumous title for this bastard after his death.
If he accidentally gets the word "severe", the old Li family will have a lot of fun.
"Not very good..." Li Kuan was grateful for his father's kindness.
He thought for a while, Dad, how about you make me Qin..."
"No!" Fang Xuanling on the side interrupted Li Kuan's spellcasting without even thinking.
"No..." Li Kuan turned to look at Fang Xuanling dissatisfied, showing his orange-sized fists: "Fang Gong, Xiao Ye... Xiao Wang provoked you!"
"Your Highness the Second Prince! King Qin... is not suitable!" Du Ruhui on the side also echoed.
"You bastard, stop fooling around!" Even Li Shimin slapped his son on the head angrily: "I have no intention of sealing off the title King of Qin."
"Dad, what I mean is," the misunderstood Li Kuan took a deep breath, and then looked at everyone for a moment: "Can't you make me the first king of Qin?"
After Li Kuan finished speaking, the hall suddenly became silent.
You can almost hear the drop of a needle.
