The work arranged by His Majesty the Emperor has to be taken over even if he is stubborn.

Li Chuan didn't resist, but he was easily suppressed, looking at Li Shimin's meaning, it seems that there is no negotiation.

He still has to come to the court, which means that he has to get up early for at least three days a month.

I don't want to go to court at all!

Li Chuan had a bitter face, feeling that the days ahead would become more and more tired, is it too late for him to strike now?!

The mood was not very bright, and as soon as Li Chuan's footsteps out of the palace turned, he went to the Taiji Palace.

During the Chinese New Year, he also gave a gift to the Emperor Li Yuan, because the gift was very much in line with Li Yuan's wishes, well, it was probably very valuable in Li Yuan's eyes, so he was familiar with it in front of the Emperor.

Let him go into the palace and sit down if he is fine, and accompany him, the old man.

No, Li Chuan consciously went to Taiji Palace, planning to accompany the old man.

After being reported, waiting, and finally being taken into the warm palace by the eunuch, Li Chuan saluted, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the emperor surrounded by women and children.

Li Yuan is quite fat, and sitting on a chair is no different from modern old people, probably the difference is that there are many children.

"The millennium is coming, find a place to sit by yourself." Li Yuan lifted his eyelids and glanced at Li Chuan.

In fact, he didn't realize him when he received gifts during the New Year, as Li Chuan thought, Li Chuan, a person with an extraordinary background, as the emperor, how could he not know.

But knowing is knowing, but he can't get in touch, who made him the emperor, and his son is the emperor.

He, the emperor, sometimes has to avoid suspicion.

Li Chuan silently found a chair to sit down, fortunately there were many chairs in this hall, otherwise he would not be able to find a place to sit.

Li Yuan was held by women and children, looking very happy.

On the side, Li Chengqian, who was standing in an inconspicuous position, particularly attracted Li Chuan's attention, and the smile on the child's face was practiced at first glance, just like the smile of the salesman in the specialty store.

Li Chuan sat for a while, dealt with Li Yuan's few questions, and then it was time to eat, he didn't want to eat here, but Li Yuan wanted to keep him, and he couldn't have to leave, then he would offend people.

Li Yuan sat at the top, Li Chengqian on the left hand seat, the sons in the row on the right, and the women all went back to the harem, at this time they were not qualified to serve at the table, Li Chuan didn't care so much, he sat directly next to Li Chengqian, Li Yuan looked at him twice, and didn't say anything.

But Li Yuanchang quietly came over and whispered: "It's like this every year, it's too boring, Brother Millennium, can't you really give us a few more comics?" ”

They also tried their best to translate the book, but the book was different from the comics, there were too many words, and it was difficult to copy, let alone translate, and he doubted that the book would not be translated in a year.

If you can't read comics for a year, he'll suffocate to death.

"Until you translate that book, sorry, there are no comics." Li Chuan ruthlessly refused, but he turned his head and saw Li Chengqian, who was silent, and suddenly said: "But there is anything else to play, do you want to play?" ”

Li Yuanchang pursed his lower lip, with a makeshift expression of 'no fish and shrimp' on his face, and said, "Okay, what is it?" ”

"Mahjong." Li Chuan looked at the dishes in front of him, and before Li Yuan moved the chopsticks, they could only watch, "Wait a while, after eating, you can find a carpenter." ”

"Okay." Li Yuanchang responded, and turned his head to look at Li Yuan, Li Yuan picked up the chopsticks with a smile at this time, and said, "Okay, don't look at me, eat them all." After speaking, he first sandwiched a chopstick dish.

Next, you don't have to come by yourself, there is a little eunuch next to you who is responsible for picking up the dishes, and the other princes, except for the ones that are too small, have to eat by themselves, if it is too far, let the little eunuch come to clip.

But no one is so uninteresting, almost all of them are eating a few dishes in front of them.

Li Chuan is not a maverick, his mind is not on eating now, he can clearly feel that something is wrong with Li Chengqian, but he doesn't know what to do.

He talked to Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian replied, behaving very normally, that is, he was less casual than usual, but it was understandable, after all, this was not his Yiqiu Palace, and it was not his own territory, so he should always pay attention to it.

But he just felt that something was wrong with Li Chengqian.

After eating silently, Li Yuan went to rest, and these princes also dispersed to do their own things, Li Yuanchang found a carpenter, and Li Chuan simply painted mahjong and Monopoly to the carpenter and let them do it.

While the carpenter was making cards, he wrote down the basic operations of these two games, handed them to Li Yuanchang, and then dragged Li Chengqian away.

"Huh? Where are you going? After a while, the carpenter is done, and let's play together. Li Yuanchang shouted from behind, Li Chuan just waved his hand and didn't look back.

Li Chengqian didn't resist, let Li Chuan pull him away, although there was no smile on his face, but it was not the kind of expressionless face, if you looked closely, there was actually a little smile.

dragged Li Chengqian back to Yiqiu Palace, Li Chuan drove everyone out, and even Jin Rushan told him to kick out the door, then closed the door, pressed Li Chengqian on the chair, and said, "Say, what's wrong?" ”

"What's wrong?" Li Chengqian's bright eyes were full of incomprehension.

"You, what the hell is wrong with you? How do you follow the marionette? This is what Li Chuan figured out after eating, Li Chengqian's state at this time is what others want to see the most, not the real him.

Generally speaking, it is only children who have been oppressed to the extreme and have given up on themselves that they will behave like this.

Either he is numb like a piece of wood, he can't move without pushing, or he is like a marionette, what others say, he will do it, others say that he should be gentle, he will show a gentle side, say that he should study hard, he will study hard, he looks very well-behaved, is the kind of child that parents will like, but as everyone knows, he has lost himself.

Such people are okay to study in school, but they are prone to problems when they go out of society, such as the interaction with colleagues, the handling of affairs, and the complexity of interpersonal relationships, which are not something that this kind of marionette can handle, once no one tells them what to do, they will fall into a dazed and overwhelmed situation.

Then most of them will do a simple office job, such as a civil servant, 9 to 5, quite stable.

In the end, parents are satisfied, and maybe their lovers and children will be satisfied, but at the end of life, I don't know if they will be satisfied.

Li Chuan feels that this kind of person is quite pitiful, and he has been living for others all his life.

Parents always feel that this is good for their children, so that their children can follow the path they have planned, so that there will be no accidents and live a safe and stable life.

But they never think about whether their children want such a life.

Like some people, they may have a very bad life, but at least it is their own life, it is their own choice, and it is more real than being a puppet for a lifetime.

Li Chengqian is now in Li Chuan's eyes, he is inclined to such a marionette, he doesn't know what happened in the middle, it will make Li Chengqian numb himself, but he knows that this will not work.

If you don't explode in silence, you will perish in silence, maybe in the world where he didn't come, Li Chengqian was like this, but after he got married and had children, he suddenly exploded.

As a result, he put his own life into it, and indirectly affected the fate of many people.

Now that he's here, he doesn't want that to happen again.

"You're thinking too much, I'm fine." Li Chengqian smiled slowly.

Then his face was sandwiched between his hands by Li Chuan, and then he was rubbed for a long time, which made Li Chengqian's entire face deformed.

Li Chuan didn't show mercy to his subordinates, even if Li Chengqian's eyes began to widen, and what Ula Ula said, he didn't let go.

It wasn't until he felt that it was okay that Li Chuan let go of Li Chengqian's little face.

"How do you feel now? Your face isn't stiff, is it? I see that your face is stiff with a smile, and even the arc of your smile is the same, so I kindly help you, no thanks. ”

Li Chengqian: "......" ghost wants to thank you!

"You're enough, you can't let me rest, I'm so tired, you can't sympathize." Li Chengqian couldn't smile at this moment, his whole body was slumped in the chair, and his body looked hollowed out.

"Sleep when you're tired, it's okay now, come on, get some sleep, and when you wake up, you'll be refreshed again." Li Chuan urged Li Chengqian to go to the kang.

On a cold day, could there be more attractive than a fire kang?!

"You don't understand." Li Chengqian's face was full of exhaustion, the kind of exhaustion that people could see at a glance.

"It's just that the mental pressure is too great, and the psychology is a little unbearable, and the heart is tired, I know." Li Chuan rolled his eyes, as if no one had ever been tired, and he had also had the kind of fatigue that could not be relieved no matter how much he rested, but he had not survived it.

Li Chengqian closed his mouth and sat down on the edge of the kang before he raised his head again and asked, "Then do you know how to solve it?" ”

"Get through!" Li Chuan replied quite quickly, "All difficulties are temporary, and when you get through it and look back, you will find that it is actually nothing." ”

"I don't think I'll be able to make it through." Li Chengqian threw himself on the kang in a large font.

"A little ambitious? Anyway, you are also the prince of a country. Li Chuan stretched out his hand and patted Li Chengqian's head.

Li Chengqian flattened his mouth and said in a low voice: "I don't want to be a prince at all, I'm so tired, I'm so tired that I want to vomit." ”

"It's understandable, but you're already a prince."

"I can do it without it." When he said this, Li Chengqian's eyes really lit up.

Li Chuan looked at him, and finally sighed and said, "And then?" ”

"What, then?" Li Chengqian was at a loss.

"If you don't become a prince, it is equivalent to putting your future, your life, and the lives of everyone around you into the hands of others, you have lost the initiative, whether you will die or live in the future, whether you will be demoted to a commoner or imprisoned, that is, others have the final say, do you think you will not be tired at that time?" Li Chuan pointed out the cruelty of reality.

"Actually, we've talked about this before, but it's not too deep, think about it yourself, what will happen if you don't become a prince?"

"No emperor can tolerate a justifiable former prince, because this prince exists, he is not the most justifiable emperor."

Li Chengqian's face was hesitant.

"Even if he is generous and confines you in a mansion, you can only live in this mansion for the rest of your life, you can't go out, and you can't contact outsiders, is this kind of life really what you want?"

Li Chengqian bit his lip and said after a while: "Maybe it will be demoted to a common people?" ”

"Heh, do you think you're free if you're a commoner? They are all common people, do you think he will still spend money to support you? If he doesn't support you, how are you going to live? Can you farm? Or can you carry water? Or don't you go out to do coolies? Can you? Li Chuan poked his heart every word.

Li Chengqian looked a little pitiful, and said weakly: "I can write, and I can teach." ”

"Ha, don't be funny, you still want to be a teacher? Do you think the person sitting above will be willing to see you all over the world? If the students you teach pass the imperial examination and enter the court, who are they counted? Is it the emperor's? Or are you the former prince? ”

Li Chengqian was completely speechless, he is now the superior, he understands the psychology of the superior, the students taught by the former prince want to take the imperial examination? Don't be funny, you can't pass the county test, even if you are talented.

"So, I'm just dead?" Li Chengqian is like a fish waiting to die out of the water, and he doesn't even want to struggle.

"You can still work hard." Li Chuan gave an example, "For example, Emperor Kangxi, how old was he when he sat on the throne, at that time, none of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty listened to him, and he was still pressed by a queen mother to hold power, was he under great pressure?" Tired or not? I'm much more tired than you, but have people accepted their fate? If he had accepted his fate, he would have been abandoned by the Empress Dowager a long time ago, and he still wanted to be the emperor? Don't even think about the puppet emperor. ”

Li Chengqian had to admit that Li Chuan's example was a good one, as long as he brought himself into Kangxi's position, he found that it was difficult to even breathe.

He has to admit that this Kangxi Emperor is really capable, at least he can't be like others.

But when he became the emperor, he was younger than him.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Chengqian was a little ashamed, he still couldn't do it.

"Even if you don't talk about the emperor, let's take a look at the crown prince of Emperor Kangxi, that prince, he was named the prince not long after he was born, and then, he has been the prince for more than 40 years, you have also heard about the succession of Kowloon, think about the prince facing Emperor Kangxi, and a group of wolf-like younger brothers below, how did he survive?"

Li Chengqian wants to cry, this? This person is too hard, he doesn't dare to think that if he was in such a situation, he would have collapsed a long time ago.

It's no wonder that this prince will rebel in the end, what if he doesn't rebel? Stress can drive him crazy.

"That, not more than forty years, but thirty-eight years, this prince has been imprisoned for thirteen years."

"No, what are you doing with this? Understand the spirit of comprehension. Li Chuan raised his hand and knocked on Li Chengqian's head.

Who is he saying so much for, this little one has no conscience!
