"Nope!" When Li Xiu heard that Li Tai had come to his house at this time, he slapped the table angrily and refused directly, the news that Li Tai had just lived in the Wude Hall had just been poked out, and he actually came to ask to see him, even if he used his toes Li Xiu could guess what he was here for, and as long as he saw him, there would definitely be rumors, so Li Xiu simply didn't give any face, and directly refused.

"But...... King Yue ...... "The servant who reported the news saw that Li Xiu was so angry, and directly rejected Li Tai's request to see, and couldn't help but hesitate at the moment, after all, Li Tai is not only the prince, but also Li Xiu's student like Li Chengqian, and it is the first time he has met Li Xiu's student who is unwilling to see him.

"You go and tell him, let him go where he came from, and don't have any thoughts that he shouldn't have!" Li Xiu snorted coldly again at this time, it is true that Li Tai is his student, but compared to Li Chengqian, Li Tai can't come a few times a year, at this time, because Li Xiu's lecture mainly focuses on science, supplemented by mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, while Li Tai prefers liberal arts such as poetry and songs, which is not something that Li Xiu can teach, so he only comes to listen to it occasionally.

It is precisely because of this that the teacher-student relationship between Li Xiu and Li Tai is actually very ordinary, far less intimate than other students, and now that Li Tai has just moved into the Wude Palace, Li Shimin has not made any clear statement, but now Li Tai has begun to jump up and down, which makes Li Xiu can't help but feel a little more disgusted towards him, and he will naturally not be so polite when he speaks.

Seeing Li Xiu's appearance, the servant didn't dare to say anything, and turned around and left with a promise, and gently closed the study door again when he left, while Li Xiu sat alone behind the desk sulking.

Originally, Li Xiu was only angry with Li Shimin, but now even Li Tai's anger has been born, although he has not had much contact with Li Tai, but after all, he has also watched him grow up since he was a child, and he naturally knows Li Tai's temperament best.

Although Li Tai is one year younger than Li Chengqian, and he is not the prince, his reputation is no worse than Li Chengqian, mainly because Li Tai has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, and he is extremely good at literature and poetry, which also makes him extremely prestigious in Shilin, and has made many erudite Confucians in Chang'an City, and Li Shimin is also extremely fond of him.

Li Xiu also admitted that Li Tai did have a high talent in literature, although the people and the court spoke highly of him, but Li Xiu was not very optimistic about Li Tai, because in his opinion, although Li Tai was talented, he was only a literary talent in poetry and songs, and he was not good at governing the country, and his character also had great flaws, such as he was too proud.

Speaking of which, Li Tai, as a prince, has been quite talented since he was a child, and the people he has interacted with are all erudite Confucians, so he naturally has the capital of pride, but Li Tai's arrogance is all on the surface, and he likes to take people by talent.

It can be said that Li Tai is completely a scholar, maybe for a scholar, he has no arrogance, after all, as long as he is a scholar, he is generally a little arrogant, but if he wants to be an emperor, Li Tai's arrogance is absolutely unacceptable, just imagine a person who can't even handle interpersonal relationships well, how can he become an emperor who rules over tens of millions of people?

Being too proud is only one of the most significant shortcomings of Li Tai, and he is too greedy for pleasure and has no moderation, for example, Li Tai likes food, and as a result, he eats himself into a big fat man, and he has to take a few breaths every few steps, and such a physical quality cannot bear the emperor's heavy government affairs at all.

What's more worth mentioning is that Li Tai's low emotional intelligence is also very suspicious, of course, few people may notice it now, but Li Xiu clearly remembers that one thing was recorded in the original history, that is, after Li Chengqian abolished the crown prince due to rebellion, Li Shimin intended to pass the throne to Li Tai, but he was worried that Li Tai would persecute his younger brother after he ascended the throne, that is, Li Zhi, after all, Li Zhi was the only one who could compete with Li Tai for the throne at that time, so he summoned him to the palace to ask.

Originally, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this might be Li Shimin's last test for Li Tai, and this test was not difficult, it was nothing more than wanting Li Tai to show his determination, but Li Tai, who got carried away, actually said the faint words of "killing his son and passing on his brother", that is, he promised Li Shimin that he would definitely kill his son in the future, and then pass the throne to Li Zhi.

As the so-called "tiger poison does not eat children", Li Tai in order to get the throne, even said the words of killing his son, this kind of words may only fool some fools, Li Shimin is certainly not stupid, let alone old foolish, if Li Tai is sincere, then he even dares to kill his own son, not to mention Li Zhi's younger brother, if Li Tai is not sincere, then it is even more unbelievable, so Li Shimin suddenly dispelled the idea of passing the throne to Li Tai, it can be said that Li Tai lost the throne at his fingertips because of a word, This is also a strange story.

It is precisely knowing the above history, so Li Xiu's impression of Li Tai has always been not very good, after all, he is a person who attaches great importance to his family, and he is really not close to Li Tai who says "killing his son and passing on his brother", and this also exposes Li Tai's low emotional intelligence and ruthless nature, if this kind of person becomes the emperor, I am afraid it will not be long before the Tang Dynasty will produce a Yang Guang.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu also became more determined in his thoughts, although Li Chengqian is disabled, he is countless times stronger than Li Tai, and even the young Li Zhi is stronger than Li Tai, so if Li Shimin really has the idea of making Li Tai the prince, he will definitely be the first to oppose it!

Li Xiu was thinking about his thoughts in the study, and the servant who reported the news just now also rushed to the front hall, only to see the fat Li Tai sitting here drinking tea, Li Tai is only fourteen years old this year, but he is already fat like a mountain of meat, the chair that was enough for two people to sit side by side was crowded by him, and even made people worry about whether it would be stuck on the chair.

However, Li Tai is fat and fat, but his appearance is not ugly, and even he does not have much meat on his face, there are indeed such people, the meat only grows on the body, but the face does not look fat, and if you look carefully, you can still see a little bit of Li Shimin's demeanor from Li Tai's facial features, no wonder Li Shimin likes this son so much.

Li Tai is also proud of the spring breeze now, Li Shimin asked him to keep a low profile when he moved into the Wude Palace, so not many people knew about it, but today he was stabbed out by Wei Zheng in the court, although the court was very noisy, but Li Tai was very happy, because after this matter was spread, many people speculated that Li Shimin intended to re-establish the prince, and the candidate for the new prince was naturally him, which made Li Tai's vanity also greatly satisfied, and the people around him were even more eager to let him walk around in order to get more support, As a result, Li Xiu was the first to think of Li Xiu.

Although Li Tai has not come to Li Xiu many times, after all, the two of them are nominal masters and apprentices, and Li Xiu is one of the people who can influence his father the emperor the most, whether it is a civil official or a military general, Li Xiu has a lot of prestige, so if he can get Li Xiu's support, then he will have a greater chance of winning the crown prince.

Thinking of the above, Li Tai couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face. However, thinking of Li Xiu, Li Tai thought of the eldest grandson Wuji, whose influence was not under Li Xiu, and immediately his face became gloomy, speaking of which, although the eldest grandson Wuji was his own uncle, but because the eldest grandson Wuji had always supported Li Chengqian, Li Tai did not have a good impression of his uncle, and he usually had no contacts, so when he sought support, he chose Li Xiu first.

"The villain greets His Royal Highness King Yue!" I saw that the servant who reported the news just now rushed over, and then saluted Li Tai in the hall.

"Sir, why didn't you come?" Li Tai, who was dreaming a sweet dream, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw that only the servant was coming alone, and then asked with a frown.

"This ......" The servant also showed a hesitant expression at this time, after all, Li Xiu's words were a bit excessive, and he didn't dare to say it for a while.

"What the hell is going on, isn't the gentleman at home?" Li Tai saw the servant's stumbling appearance, and immediately asked with a calm face again, he had been to the financial supervision before he came, but he pounced, and then asked people to inquire clearly, knowing that Li Xiu chased after him when he went home, it shouldn't be possible to pounce?

"No, the master has been staying in the study since he came back, but when the villain went to report just now, the master ...... The old man ......, "This servant is the steward of Li Xiu's mansion, and he has also entertained many dignitaries in the court, so he also knows that if Li Xiu's words are spoken, I am afraid that he will offend His Royal Highness the King of Yue to death, so he does not dare to say it."

"Why didn't the gentleman come to see me?" Li Tai's patience at this time was also worn out, and he asked loudly in annoyance at the moment.

Seeing Li Tai's appearance, the steward of Zhike couldn't help but sigh secretly, and immediately conveyed Li Xiu's words: "The master said that where you came from, don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have!" ”

As soon as the steward's words came out, Li Tai's body like a mountain of meat suddenly straightened, his hands tightly grasped the handle of the chair, his round face was also flushed, and the anger in his eyes was almost gushing out, after all, as a prince, no one had ever dared to talk to him like this since he was a child!
