Chapter 521: Another Twist and Turn
The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of whom was different.
Li Shisheng gave birth to fourteen sons, all of whom were biological, and there was no character such as Lao Wang next door playing soy sauce in it, but unfortunately, in addition to the minor and ignorant among the fourteen sons, the rest of the people were not angry, and the only ones who could be put on the table were probably only Li Tai, King of Wei, and Li Ke, King of Wu, and Li Zhi, the King of Jin, who was only twelve years old, was close to adulthood, and gradually showed his grandeur.
As a father, Li Shimin often invites his ministers to banquets, and the princes often participate, but in addition to these three princes, there are few princes who can stand in the banquet and Li Shimin introduce to the ministers with the pride of his father, "This is a certain prince of mine, what has he done to make me proud, enough to show off."
In this era, the word "纨绔" is not a derogatory term, but it is not a compliment, the princes have brought the part of speech of this word to the extreme, what they do every day is to doze off in the palace school, and when they are not studying, they take countless guards out of the city to hunt, or buy drunk and invite joy in the green building, and occasionally bully the goodness when the mood is not good, most of Li Shimin's sons are this kind of goods.
Li You, the king of Qi, is a representative figure of this group of sons.
Watching Li You stagger out of the back of the Manna Palace, Li Shimin only felt a deep sense of frustration occupy his heart.
Safari, drunk, sheng song, prostitution, unmotivated, etc., Li Shimin has never liked his sons to do this, so he always persuaded him to study, and invited the world's famous moral Confucians to educate his sons, and even took time out of the busy court affairs every month to maintain the relationship between father and son with the princes, and studied the knowledge of the princes and princesses......
has done so much, why are these sons of mine still more angry than the other? One mind is more vicious and ruthless than the other?
Li Shimin couldn't figure it out, he didn't know what he had done wrong, and he didn't know as a father. I should do something to turn my sons on the right path.
As for Li You's plot to seize Li Su's movable type printing, it was particularly embarrassing for Li Shimin.
Not to mention his son's dark thoughts, Li Shimin has been wise all his life, and he understands better than anyone else that the tricks and thoughts played by his sons in order to seek the throne can be seen clearly by his cold eyes. Some of them are old-fashioned and steady, while others are ridiculously naïve.
It's just that as a prince and nobleman, he followed the bandit behavior and forcibly seized the property of his courtiers, which made Li Shimin extremely angry.
When Li Su was summoned today, this kid spoke calmly and steadily, and Li Shimin felt that this was because Li Su had become mature and stable after honing his temperament. Only now did he know that Li Su's performance in front of him was actually not awe, but evasion, the emperor in his eyes had been equated with the word "robber and his father", and he spoke calmly not because of fear of imperial power, but because of the mood of good people who met strong beams, they were afraid of ...... Robbed again?
Thinking of this, the anger in Li Shimin's chest became more and more churning, and he didn't know if he was angry with his son. is still angry at Li Su's bastard attitude towards him.
"Painted ......"
"The old slave is here."
Li Shimin closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes. Said slowly: "Spread the decree, Li You, the king of Qi, will leave Chang'an within the month, return to the fiefdom of Qizhou, and concentrate on learning behind closed doors, and ...... Shi Quan Wanji, the former head of the Wu Palace, was transferred to the Qi Palace, and he is still the chief historian. He specializes in teaching the King of Qi the way of learning and dealing with the world, and sternly admonishes Quan Wanji not to slack off, and must carefully teach the King of Qi that if there is bias and indulgence, I will be guilty. ”
***********************************************************
Li You, the king of Qi, hurriedly ran out of the Ganlu Palace.
At the moment, he was terrified. In his mind, he still had the appearance of his father when he was angry, it was the real heavenly power, as if the thunder from the nine heavens slashed at him, it was obviously a warm hall like spring, but he was like falling into an ice cave, and the whole person was so frozen that he didn't dare to move.
Until now, he has run out of the Ganlu Palace, and is about to walk to the gate of Taiji Palace, he still feels a chill on his body, the sweat on his forehead has not stopped, and the sentence in which his father attached his ear in a cold tone, "You want to collect the heart of the world's scholars on behalf of me", that question with a cold murderous intention, at this moment in retrospect, he still can't help but fight a cold war, as if he had just walked through the ghost gate, there is no doubt that this sentence of his father will become the most terrifying nightmare in his life.
Now he realizes what a stupid thing he has done.
Printing books, maybe ordinary people can do it, but as a prince, it is definitely a taboo thing, because his surname is Li, he is the son of his father, and he is a candidate who may be justified as the emperor, so he can't do it, because in his father's heart, this throne does not belong to him, or in the next few decades, this throne does not belong to anyone at all, and the prince is not worthy! The emperor of the Tang Dynasty can only be him Li Shimin, unless he dies, or is about to die, he will really consider who is qualified to inherit this position.
And he, Li You, was not in the consideration of his father at all, and he never thought about it, even if the crown prince is deposed and replaced by someone to become the prince, whether it is the distinction between the concubines and the concubines, the order of the eldest and youngest, whether it is talent and character, whether it is the reputation of the court and the people, or the camp forces that support him among the courtiers...... Either way, it won't be his turn.
A prince who has absolutely no hope of inheriting the throne suddenly stretched out his hand and wanted to take over the matter of the world's seal, this move is nothing different from Sima Zhao's heart, and it is Da Ming Daliang who exposed his ambition **** naked in front of his father, beaming proudly, and let him judge.
So the father judged, and the result of the judgment was a hard slap and a kick, Li You's face and lower abdomen were still a little painful at the moment, and deep fear and panic had occupied the entire body and mind, and this slap also completely woke Li You up.
Yes, he has no hope of inheriting the throne, especially after exposing his ambitions in front of his father today, he has cut off his last trace of coveting the throne......
Li You walked very slowly, countless thoughts and emotions flashed in his heart one by one, and then stopped, looking back at the undulating palace buildings of Taiji Palace, Li You suddenly squatted down and held his head with both hands, and cried bitterly.
Whether he has to choose a completely different life path from today onwards, or regrets exposing his ambitions to his father too early, and what he is crying for, no one knows except himself.
Li You squatted on the ground and cried for a long time, when he heard a very familiar voice in his ears.
"Isn't this the Fifth Emperor Brother? Why is the royal brother sad and crying? ”
Li You looked up and found that the crown prince Li Chengqian was standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile.
Li Chengqian has been very well-behaved recently, more well-behaved than a baby, drunk on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he almost killed the concubines of the East Palace, after the incident, Li Shimin was furious, the ministers were angry, and Li Chengqian became the target of the public overnight, and was criticized by countless people, Li Shimin even moved the idea of easy storage, and once summoned the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others into the palace, and asked about the prince's matter, and it reached this point, and the matter was not serious.
Therefore, Li Chengqian was honest and peaceful, whether it was a show or a good performance, he put on the appearance of changing his past wrongs, not only drove away all the Turkic people raised in the East Palace, dismissed the Kabuki in the East Palace, but also became more and more diligent and motivated in his daily study, after Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda gave Li Chengqian a lesson, Li Chengqian also went to the Taiji Palace to meet his father, took the initiative to talk about his experience of reading today, and humbly asked for knowledge of governing the country and the army in front of his father.
I have to say that Li Chengqian's crisis public relations has done a very good job, and it cannot be ruled out that there are high-ranking people behind him, in short, after a period of painful reform, the anger of Li Shimin and the courtiers has gradually extinguished, and some courtiers who left the prince's camp have also quietly returned to the camp, and everything has returned to its original state.
After Wei Zheng finished teaching Li Chengqian today, Li Chengqian entered the Taiji Palace as usual to talk to his father about his reading experience, and as soon as he entered the Taiji Palace, he saw the fifth emperor's brother Li You squatting on the ground and crying bitterly, Li Chengqian stopped and asked.
Li You cried for a while, and when he looked up and saw that it was Li Chengqian, he couldn't help but snort angrily.
Li Shimin's fourteen princes, these princes' performance in front of their father and emperor is enough to envy all the parents in the world, they are really brothers, friends and brothers, and they are harmonious and friendly, however, this is only in front of their father.
In private, the princes are not at peace with each other, or rather, they have enmity.
Think about it, so many princes have coveted the throne, there are so many princes, there is only one throne, you can imagine the death of my father in the future, I don't know what kind of corpse and blood will be fought for this throne, with a common, everyone has to compete for the interests in front of them, how can the princes be harmonious?
The same is true of the relationship between Li You and Li Chengqian, or in other words, all princes who have some ideas about the position of the crown prince regard Li Chengqian as a thorn in their side.
Today, the nail ran out and asked Li You with a kind and caring face, how did Li You look awkward, just like seeing a weasel visiting a chicken, and asked with concern how the chicken is recently, is he in a good mood, and is he fat......
"Humph!"
This is Li You's answer, very arrogant.
Li Chengqian didn't mind, and still had a gentle elder brother-like smile on his face,...... Recently, the acting skills of pretending to be a good baby may be too involved in the play, and Li Chengqian found that his temper was much better.
The two brothers were not silent for long, and then a eunuch with a raw face hurriedly walked from the direction of the Ganlu Palace, attached to Li Chengqian's ear and whispered for a while, Li Chengqian showed a sudden look, and then the corners of his mouth hooked a strange smile.
"It turns out that the emperor's younger brother was scolded by his father because of Li Su, no wonder ......"
