Chapter Twenty-Three: I Still Want to Face
Chapter 23
Li Shimin sat there, carefully looking at the things written by Li Zhi, Li Zhi stood there, and he didn't dare to breathe.
He didn't expect that Li Shimin would come over at this time, and under normal circumstances, Li Shimin would not come to his study at night.
"Well, there is some truth, but why is it not clearly written? There is also the matter of this businessman, the advantages of the businessman are said, why is there no mention of the disadvantages of the businessman, the previous discussion is okay, but here, there are no disadvantages of the businessman? Why? Li Shimin looked up at Li Zhi who was standing there and asked, and Li Zhi looked up at Li Shimin as well.
"Why didn't you say that?" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi and asked again.
"Anyway, I didn't record it!" Li Zhi nodded and said.
"What did Pepin say? Is this what he said? Li Shimin raised the manuscripts in his hand and asked Li Zhi.
When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately knelt down, then kowtowed and said: "Father, if you want to punish me, you will punish me, Peping said before, I don't want to record it, these are some immature ideas, it's not okay to spread them!" But I'm thinking about writing it down so that I can continue to think about these questions in the future, Father! ”
"Well, I didn't say that I would be punished, you got up first, did Pepin say that?" Li Shimin put down the manuscript, helped Li Zhi up and asked.
"Yes, it was he who said it, during this time, every time Erchen went to his house, he would have a feeling, and today he talked about the affairs of the government soldiers, and also talked about the imperial examination, from the imperial examination, it was extended to paper and printing, and then to craftsmen and merchants.
However, only the businessmen have been discussed, and other aspects have not been discussed! Li Zhi nodded, then looked at Li Shimin and said, "Can you not punish Peping?" ”
"Ha, when did I punish for my words? Besides, these things still have some truth, no wonder you say that he is a great talent in the world,
However, not now, he is still too immature, many things, it looks very good, but it can't be implemented, the court law, how can he say that he can change it? This is a process! Li Shimin smiled and said to Li Zhi, Li Zhi heard it and felt a lot more relieved.
"You and Chengyang weren't in the palace today, but you went to the Boping Mansion?" Li Shimin motioned for Li Zhi to sit down, and then asked.
"Yes, after a day of discussion, if it weren't for Chengyang's reminder, we wouldn't know that it was already evening, and we would have dinner at the Peping Mansion in the evening, and we would have returned to the palace!" Li Zhi ordered the winter, looked at Li Shimin and said.
"Chengyang also stayed for a day?" Li Shimin then looked at Li Zhi and asked, but Li Zhi still nodded.
"How can this girl stay in someone else's house for a day, and you don't remind her?" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi with a little displeasure.
"Father, son, son, that, Chengyang, um!" Li Zhi didn't know what to say, in fact, he hoped that Chengyang and Qin Huaidao would be together,
But he can't say this, it depends on Li Shimin's meaning, those princesses' marriages, they can't be the masters themselves, and Li Shimin also has considerations about who to marry, and he can't say categorically, whoever the princess likes, she will marry.
"What's the matter, spit!" Li Shimin stared at Li Zhi and asked.
"Father, son-in-law feels that Chengyang has a heart for Peping, but Peping doesn't know it yet!" Li Zhi plucked up the courage and said that he hoped to be able to make this happen.
"What?" Li Shimin heard it, stood up violently, and stared at Li Zhi fiercely.
"Father atonement, Chengyang is still young, and Peping is indeed talented, father, you also know, Chengyang also likes to read, and with Peping, they can discuss it from time to time!" Li Zhi knelt there and persuaded Li Shimin.
"Shut up!" Li Shimin stared at Li Zhi very angrily and shouted, and Li Zhi didn't dare to speak.
Li Shimin stood there, and after thinking about it for a while, he said to Li Zhi in a very serious tone: "From today on, if you dare to take Chengyang to Boping Mansion, I won't be able to spare you!" ”
"Ahh Li Zhi looked up at Li Shimin in shock.
"Private for life? Spread out, does Chengyang still want to live? Where is my face gone? Well? Are you still conniving? Li Shimin stared down at Li Zhi and criticized fiercely.
"Yes!"
"But what, Chengyang's marriage, I will naturally consider it! There are so many brothers above you, and it's not your turn to think about it! Li Shimin interrupted Li Zhi's words and warned Li Zhi to speak.
"Yes!" Li Zhi bowed his head helplessly, while Li Shimin sat down, and then rubbed his head: "This girl, she has grown up!" ”
"Father, son-in-law is brave, can you let Chengyang and Peping be together?" Li Zhi cautiously tested Li Shimin, his eyes full of hope.
"Hmph, what do you know? Even if I agree, will the generals agree? Pepin is the eldest son, he is still a princess? Living in the Princess's Mansion? As soon as I say this proposal, all those generals will oppose it! Li Shimin snorted coldly, stared at Li Zhi and said solemnly.
"But isn't the eldest sister also married to the eldest grandson?" Li Zhi muttered quietly.
The eldest sister in his mouth is the eldest daughter of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, Princess Zhang Le, married to the eldest son of Changsun Wuji, Changsun Chong.
"How can it be the same? Your uncle is here to support me! I want to marry those families, but those families don't agree, no way, your uncle needs to make a statement, but Peping is different, last time, I know that those generals have opinions on me, although they didn't say it, but! Come on! Don't discuss this matter! Li Shimin waved his hand irritably and said.
He knew that as long as he said that he would let Princess Peping Shang, then those martial generals would come out to oppose it as soon as possible, and even said that they would all oppose it to the ministers of the house, and Peping was the eldest son in the Yiguo Mansion and inherited the title.
If Princess Shang, it is simply an insult to the Wing Kingdom Mansion,
In the Tang Dynasty, marrying a princess can not be said to marry, but Shang, marrying the Tang Dynasty and even the princess of most dynasties in history, it is a sad thing, the princess lives in the princess's mansion, and the horse wants to sleep with the princess, but also with the consent of the princess, in this era, it is simply an insult, so no one wants to marry a princess, and the Tang Dynasty is no exception.
"But, it can be seen that Chengyang really likes Peping!" Li Zhi lowered his head and said.
"Alright, don't say it! I have my own plans, I am not allowed to take Chengyang to the Boping Mansion, do you hear? Li Shimin interrupted Li Zhi's words and warned him fiercely.
"Yes!" Li Zhi replied helplessly.
Li Shimin was sitting there thinking about it, and seeing Li Zhi's helpless expression, Li Shimin opened his mouth and said, "Can you convince Peping to go to the princess's mansion in the future?" ”
"Huh?" Li Zhi heard it and looked up at Li Shimin in confusion.
"If you can't be convinced, how can Chengyang marry Peping?" Li Shimin stared at Li Zhi and asked.
"But eldest sister, doesn't the eldest sister not live in the princess's mansion, but in her uncle's mansion?" Li Zhi immediately asked rhetorically, Princess Changle's princess mansion is still there, but she basically doesn't live there, but lives in the mansion of the eldest grandson Wuji.
"You, you, can this be the same? The princess of Chengyang is not majestic? Li Shimin stood up angrily and scolded Li Zhi.
"If Chengyang likes it, Erchen estimates that she doesn't want it!" Li Zhi muttered quietly again.
"You, I'm so angry, she doesn't want it, I still want it!" Li Shimin walked briskly in Li Zhi's study with his hands behind his back, and suddenly stood and scolded Li Zhi, Li Zhi heard it and bowed his head silently.
"Did you hear me?" Li Shimin stared at Li Zhi, who was bowing his head, and shouted.
"I heard you!" Li Zhi nodded and said.
"Get up, if it's not like words, there is no one to worry about, not one!" Li Shimin sat on a chair next to him angrily, scolding angrily, and Li Zhi could only listen when he stood there.
Father and son had nothing to say.
After about half an hour, Li Shimin suddenly said: "In the future, you can often go to the Boping Mansion, but you are not allowed to take Chengyang with you, in addition, you must also complete the homework assigned by the master, and I haven't found your figure for a day today!" I thought you were messing around outside! ”
"Yes, thank you, Father!" Li Zhimu nodded, he felt unfair to Li Shimin for not letting Chengyang and Peping be together.
"Continue to sort out your things, those things can't be said to be wrong, but they are not all right, you need to screen them yourself, sort them out, send a copy to me, and I will also check them,
In addition, just like you just sorted out, write down your feelings, and I will see if your thinking is correct!
Also, don't tell Pepin about this, if Pepin knew, I guess given his cautious character, he might not discuss it with you! Li Shimin reminded Li Zhi that he was shocked by Qin Huaidao's remarks,
It is even said that many suggestions are correct, but they cannot be implemented now, the involvement is too big, and they can only be slowly figured out, especially about the imperial examination, Li Shimin attaches great importance to it, but Qin Huaidao and Li Zhi did not discuss too much today at all, that is, they discussed one of them, business!
Therefore, Li Shimin wants to see if there are any high-level arguments on Peping's side, Li Shimin doesn't want the officials of the court to be monopolized by those family lords, but if there are no scholars from the poor family to add in, Li Shimin has to use them, otherwise, the court will not be in chaos.
"Oh, boy, remember!" Li Zhi nodded,
Li Shimin sat there, thought about it again for a while, and said, "There is still more than a month, and the Pepinding worries will expire, right?" You tell him that after the expiration date, let him come over as soon as possible, and I have arrangements for him! ”
"Ah, yes!" When Li Zhi heard Li Shimin say this, he was a little happy for Qin Huaidao, but then he couldn't help asking, "Father, what position did you arrange for him?" ”
"Hmph, is this something you should know?" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi unhappily and said.
"Oh!" Li Zhi nodded in disappointment.
"Alright, go about your own business!" Li Shimin stood up as he spoke, and walked outside,
Originally, he came to criticize Li Zhi for going out to play for a day today, but now that he learned that Li Zhi went to Qin Huaidao to discuss things, and the results of the discussion seemed to be good, Li Shimin was no longer ready to blame.
