Li Shimin really loves Li Zhi to the bottom of his heart, but the nature of his love for Li Tai is different, Li Tai is a real adult in Li Shimin's heart, sensible and filial, erudite and diligent, and his love for Li Tai is his father's pride and appreciation for his son. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But Li Shimin's love for Li Zhi is more about treating him as an ignorant child, who needs to be taken care of everywhere, cherishes his loss of his mother since he was a child, and is pleased that he is well-behaved and sensible.

Love out of appreciation, when Li Shimin began to think about the candidate for the crown prince of the East Palace, Li Tai was the first candidate to jump into his mind, and he was a heavyweight candidate.

However, Li Zhi ...... He's just a kid.

The reality is so helpless, Li Shimin loves Li Zhi too much, but he always treats him as a child, in Li Shimin's impression, Li Zhi is not enough to take on the heavy responsibility of the prince, regardless of temperament, prestige, elder and younger, Li Tai is undoubtedly much better than Li Zhi.

Putting his arm around Li Zhi's shoulders intimately, Li Shimin said with a smile: "Li has the ability, his temperament is also gentle and elegant, and his character is also ...... Ahem. ”

When it comes to character, Li Shimin can't bear to say any more, and the strong sense of shame in his heart tells him that there must be a bottom line in life, and there is no need to brag about things that don't exist at all, such as Li Su's character.

"Cough, in short, Li Su is indeed capable, and his knowledge is not bad, although many of the words he said make people unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood for a while, but most of them can still be believed, I used to call him into the palace to play right, every time I play right, I feel that I have benefited a lot, the pheasant slave might as well associate with him more, and it is a great fortune to have a good teacher in life."

Li Zhi Gongsheng should be.

Li Shimin sighed and said: "The world is like chess, life is impermanent, the pheasant slave is still young, if there is a mentor and friend with you throughout your life, always give you some help, you will take a lot of detours in your life, Li Su is a very good person, unfortunately he is a little lonely and arrogant, I can see that he also loves you very much, pheasant slave, treat this friend well, no matter what kind of predicament you are in in the future, with Li Su, you will not let you make a big mistake after all." ”

Li Zhi should be, then raised his head and said curiously: "Why did my father suddenly sigh like this?" ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "It's just a feeling, before I know it, my pheasant slave is sixteen years old, and he is an adult. ”

Li Zhi agreed with a smile, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Father, the son is here today to see his father, and a few days ago, the imperial Shi Feng Du was sparse, and all the adult princes in Beijing were advised to go to the local ......."

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed: "Oh, the pheasant slave doesn't want to leave Chang'an, right?" ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "Erchen doesn't dare to deceive his father, Erchen really doesn't want to leave his father, not to mention that Chang'an is prosperous, and the state is bitter, and Erchen doesn't know if he can stand that hardship, his father ordered all adult princes to leave Beijing, originally Erchen was quite reluctant in his heart, and even Erchen planned to kneel in front of his father's knees and beg his father to take back his life......"

Li Shimin seemed to hear something else, with a little smile in his eyes, and said, "What happened later?" Have you figured it out? ”

Li Zhi said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I still haven't figured it out, I ran to Taiping Village full of resentment, talked to Brother Zizheng, and wanted to ask him to help me find a way to let my father leave me in Chang'an, but Brother Zizheng helped Erchen figure it out......"

Li Shimin looked surprised and said, "How did he help you figure it out?" ”

Li Zhidao: "Brother Zizheng said, filial piety, there is no violation. It is especially forgivable for a person who is a son of man who is young and weak and cannot share his father's worries, but he should not be embarrassed by his father and add more troubles to him. ”

Looking up at Li Shimin and smiling, Li Zhi continued: "My father has always loved my sons, and my sons know that my father has the four seas, and my sons don't know how to repay your kindness for raising you, so what my sons can do is to try not to embarrass my father, especially for me......"

"The Tang Dynasty has the law of the place where the adult prince is in office, so it should be done according to the law, there is no so-called concubine in this matter, the father and the emperor should be treated equally, the prestige of the father will not be damaged, and the subjects of the world will praise the virtue of the father and the emperor in unison......"

Li Zhi said with a smile: "That's what Erchen wants to say to his father. Yesterday the sons visited General Li Jida, and had a little understanding of the customs and political affairs and military conditions of the state, and the sons of the ministers arrived in the state and will work hard, love the people and love the soldiers like sons, and will not fall into the prestige of the father......

Li Zhi said as he spoke, still with a smile on his face, but his eyes were red: "Father, the son is not by your side, you must also take care of the dragon body in the future, don't think about the son and son,...... Recently, I heard that my father often alchemy pills and take medicine in order to live forever, and the pill has its harm after all, so if my father can eat less, he should eat as little as possible......"

Li Shimin suddenly hugged Li Zhi unwillingly, and cried: "My pheasant slave has really grown up, I am very pleased, you are more sensible than those brothers and brothers, I ...... Really gratifying! ”

"In the future, I can't treat the pheasant slave as a child anymore."

Taiping Village.

Li Zhi's face was gloomy, sitting by the Jingshui River, holding a handful of small pebbles in his hand, and for a while, he unconsciously threw the pebbles into the water.

Li Su sat silently next to him, looking at the sparkling river in a daze.

Wang Zhi stood behind the two with a wry smile, wanting to say something, he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all.

The unbearable silence was finally broken by Li Su.

"Your Highness, what made you decide to do a fake show?" Li Su sighed helplessly.

Li Zhi met Li Shimin in person and took the initiative to express his willingness to go to Beijing to take up his post, which was Li Su's arrangement.

Taking retreat as advance is Li Su's strategy, and it is one of the links to break the game, and it is a very important part. With Li Zhi's initiative to show his intentions, all the next layouts can be smoothly promoted, and in the end, the dead end set by Li Tai or the eldest grandson Wuji can be completely broken.

But Li Su didn't expect that Li Zhi came to Taiping Village to find him today, and the first thing he said was to decide to go to the state.

It's not a show, Li Zhi really decided to go to Bingzhou to be the governor.

This decision made Li Su very surprised and a little annoyed at the same time.

Li Su rarely takes the initiative to control anything, he always thinks that all people and things in this world should be free and equal, in this era of strict class hierarchy, Li Su is undoubtedly a clear stream, he doesn't like anyone to control him, nor does he like to control anyone, he lives for himself, who is qualified to control other people's lives?

But this time, Li Su took the initiative to take control, just hoping to be able to reverse the survival in a desperate situation, and his original intention was to save Li Zhi's life.

However, Li Su did not expect that at this critical moment, Li Zhi suddenly decided to leave Chang'an and really go to the governor of the state.

All the layouts were disrupted, and the anger in Li Su's heart rose higher and higher.

At the moment of life and death, but such an important matter is regarded as child's play, why did Li Su, Wang Zhi, and Li Yifu come to rush back and forth for him?

"I don't care if all my hard work goes down the drain, but you should at least give me a reason, Your Highness, this request is not too much, right?" Li Su stared at Li Zhi's face and said in a deep voice.

A trace of shame flashed on Li Zhi's face: "Brother Zizheng, I failed your ......"

"Don't talk nonsense! Speak directly for reasons. The reason can convince me, and I will promise you without saying a word. Li Su was a little angry.

Li Zhi hung his head, his lips pursed for a long time, and he said, "I...... Yesterday, I saw my father and told him that I was willing to go to Bingzhou to take up my post, and my father was very relieved, and he cried. ”

"And then?"

"And then I cried, too, because my father cried."

Li Su frowned.

The words were a bit winding, but Li Su still vaguely understood what Li Zhi meant.

"So, you're guilty?"

Li Zhi said in a low voice: "Yes, I feel guilty. That's my reasoning. ”

Looking up at Li Su's face with hidden anger, Li Zhi said: "Yesterday, I found out that my father is really old, he can't even hold me anymore, his sideburns have been dyed with frost, the corners of his eyes have deep wrinkles, and he even drinks a small half of what he did back then......"

"Since the death of my mother, my father personally raised me, since I can remember, my father is very fond of me, from childhood to adulthood, he has not refused any of my requests, he is afraid to see my disappointed appearance, so he has never let me down, I was eight years old in the winter, I suddenly wanted to eat the melon sold by Hu merchants in the Western Regions, this is a rare thing, it is difficult to find in Chang'an City, but my father still ordered to guard the whole city, and asked all the Hu merchants in Chang'an City, in order to buy the kind of melon I want......"

"It's a pity, it was winter, the melon has long been out of season, I was ignorant, pestering my father to cry and make trouble, my father had no choice, ordered to send a fine horse, out of the Yumen Pass to the Western Regions, to bring back the melon I wanted, this fine horse fast horse, back and forth for a whole year, before bringing back the melon I wanted......"

"Because of this incident, the old man Wei Zheng connected three notes, reprimanded my father for being mediocre, using public weapons and selfish desires, and even openly impeached severely in the court, so that my father could not get off the stage in front of the courtiers, and when the elite rode back to Chang'an with the melon, a year has passed, I have forgotten about it, but my father called me to the front, holding the melon in both hands, looking at me as if he was invited, I smiled, my father smiled more happily than me......"

Li Zhi said, tears fell unconsciously, he looked at Li Su with hazy teary eyes, and choked up: "Brother Zizheng, my father is old, he is no longer the majestic Heavenly Khan in my eyes, he is just a lonely and poor old man, I ...... I really can't bear to deceive him for the sake of the reserve. ”

Li Su was silent for a long time after listening.

Li Zhi is cowardly and indecisive, these Li Su all know that the reason why he is iron-hearted to assist him is because he knows that he has a benevolent and generous heart, and when he becomes the emperor in the future, the life of the people will not be too bad.

This can be regarded as Li Su's little bit for the common people in the world.

But when Li Zhi said this reason, what else could Li Su do?
