On the road between the East Palace and the Imperial Palace, there was a sudden noisy sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping.

The palace people took a closer look, and it turned out to be the prince's line.

"Hurry, hurry up, a hundred times Gu has already copied it, and I'm about to starve to death." Li Chengqian scolded the driver and burped by the way.

It is impossible to eat after copying a hundred times. As a prodigy of Datang, he is not so stupid!

"Your Highness...... This is already the fastest, no matter how fast it is, it will not be good if it hits someone, not to mention that His Majesty will punish him, and if he is big, he will not be able to keep the head of the miscellaneous family. The rider said with a sad face.

Soon came to the Zichen Palace.

"Father, Cheng Qian has already copied the "Book of Filial Piety" a hundred times, this ...... These are the transcribed papers. ”

Li Chengqian timidly lowered his head, took a small stack of paper with a half-foot thick writing from the hand of the waiter, and then handed it to Li Shimin.

A hundred times, he copied it for five days.

"I said you weren't allowed to eat until you finished copying, didn't you? Why haven't you starved yet? Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian's baby fat face playfully, and his eyes showed ruthlessness.

"This ...... Here, Erchen really didn't eat at all. Li Chengqian cried with a sad face, and inadvertently pinched the soft flesh on his arm, which was a lot fatter than a few days ago, his heart and liver suddenly trembled, and he hurriedly quibbled:

"Erchen is just a little thin and not obvious, father, you see, my little arms and legs have shrunk by half......"

If he really didn't eat or drink for five days, Li Chengqian really felt that he would starve to death. But looking at his father now, he can't say that he doesn't take his holy decree seriously.

Can you do it now...... It's a blatant lie!

It's just that he really doesn't know whether it's better to lie or admit it directly.

Li Shimin's brows suddenly furrowed, with such clumsy acting skills, he can see that he is seventeen or eighteen at a glance.

If Li Chengqian can lie like a lied and conceal the past, this matter will be revealed.

A prince who is good at lying is not necessarily a good son, but he is definitely a scheming emperor.

Li Shimin sees this very clearly, who are Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, and Li Gang?

Kong Yingda is the descendant of Quwo Kong, while Wei Zheng is a subordinate of the abolished prince when it was built, and Li Gang is also the concubine of Yang Yong, the abolished prince of the Sui Dynasty.

It can be said that these three people are the old party that is in the line of the Qin Palace, and the appointment of the three of them as auxiliary ministers of the East Palace is already obvious, that is, to unite the old party and become the party of the prince of the East Palace!

"Someone! Take a whip, today I want to beat this unfilial son to death, he will only do things all day long, and he won't tell a lie, what is the use of you? Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian coldly, and then shouted to Wang Zhen, the old eunuch beside him.

Wang Zhen's face changed slightly, and he dissuaded: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is your son, after all, he is still young, only nine years old, if he is a good one, the queen will not be able to explain it!" ”

Hearing the queen, Li Shimin was a little more serious, but he still waved his hand indifferently, and snorted: "Even if Guanyin is here, so-and-so will be fine!" ”

After that, he picked up the horsewhip in the wooden case in the hand of the waiter, danced casually, and there was a sharp sound of breaking the air.

"Niang Xipi, pout your ass for labor!" Li Shimin snorted coldly.

Li Chengqian's face flashed with hesitation, but he still couldn't resist the emperor's obscenity, so he had to pout his little buttocks, but when he heard the urging again, he hurriedly pouted like a male duck pecking.

But when it was time to take off his clothes, his expression was even more hesitant, "Father, you can just beat it through your clothes, you don't have to take it off, anyway, I see that you didn't take off your clothes when you got those little girls, and you directly whipped ...... with a whip."

Li Shimin was leisurely, and when he heard Li Chengqian's words, he almost didn't spurt out old blood, and shouted: "Labor and management don't whip you to death today, and labor and management will have your surname!" ”

Before the words fell, Li Li's voice came from afar, and she shouted delicately: "Father, Lizhi is here, you said you want to smash walnuts for Lizhi to eat......

When Li Chengqian heard this, he was instantly moved to tears, thinking about how important it is to coax a younger sister, and added by the way: "Father...... A few days ago, I promised Lizhi that I would smash two walnuts like Changsun Chong. ”

"You don't have to speak!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth and threw the horsewhip in his hand to Wang Zhen.

Since Lizhi is here, then the queen must be behind her.

At noon today, the queen and the eldest princess went to the Forbidden Garden to enjoy the flowers.

Sure enough, the eldest grandson Wujian followed closely behind Li Lizhen, with a kind smile on her face, and said: "Your Majesty, punish Cheng Qian for copying the "Book of Filial Piety" a hundred times, and the concubine thinks that this is a good thing. But if you can't finish copying, you won't be able to eat......"

She shook her head and said with a smile: "This matter is too much! Cheng Qian is not stupid, how can he believe the words of this angry head? When Qin Shi Huang died in the sand dunes, Zhao Gao and Li Si conspired to tamper with the holy decree to make the eldest son Fusu commit suicide, which was foolishness!

Does Your Majesty really want to Cheng Qian to become a person like Fusu? Don't distinguish between right and wrong? ”

Li Chengqian nodded hurriedly, the reason why he rushed to Zichen Hall in such a hurry was that he wanted to see his father before the queen mother returned to the palace.

Then the father will definitely scold, and even whip him for lying, and then Li Li from the previous inner room will take the eldest grandson queen out, and everything will be solved.

"Thank you so much, Grandpa Huang, this plan is foolproof!" Li Chengqian thought secretly.

"Then forget it." Li Shimin shook his head, helped the eldest grandson Wujian to sit on the stool, and then said: "Queen, you have an idea for a certain person, since the four children of the family who made trouble were imprisoned a few days ago, the ministers in the court have reminded me many times openly and secretly, so what can I do?" ”

If it's released, it's very simple, just a password. The key is that after the release, how not to cause a backlash from the Maison? How to let the family resolve resentment?

It seems that it is only four children of the family, but it involves the nerves of the entire court.

And the court is almost composed of large and small families.

Li Shimin has the ability to imprison the scholars, but he does not have the ability to block Youyou's mouth.

The mouth of the people is more important than the Sichuan!

"Since Your Majesty asked, then the concubine will not take it upon herself to put forward some superficial opinions. Why is His Majesty's harem so stable? The eldest grandson asked.

Li Shimin's position is very resolute, "It depends on Guanyin's grace and power, and the rewards and punishments are clear!" ”

"No, Your Majesty, you are wrong." The eldest grandson shook her head, she sighed, and said: "The reason why the concubine can make the harem stable is because it depends on His Majesty's favor, if it is ...... one day"

She was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Shimin, "Guanyin, you don't have to say, you and I have been together for so many years, can you still not understand you?" One day, the queen will be yours! ”

After that, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly darkened, looked into the distance, and said lightly: "The family cannot be trusted, it must be beaten, but the strength must be grasped well, it is nothing more than the rise and fall of the dark......"
