Li Zhi was also immersed in the joy of his father coming to visit him, but he didn't expect his father to suddenly let him come out to talk about something, which made him stunned, but he quickly nodded obediently.

"Son, you should go back to sleep early, and you are the same, your health is not good, and going to bed early is good for your body." Li Shimin told Li Lizhen and his son-in-law again at this time, he came to find Li Zhi this time, but he went to Li Zhi's bedroom just now and found that no one was there, so he came to Li Lizhi to find someone.

"I slept with my sister today, father, you should also go to bed early, don't be too late and can't get up the next day, just like Brother Jiu, you have to ask me to wake him up every morning." The son was also very obedient at this time, and by the way, he also pointed out Li Zhi's fault, which made Li Zhi helpless.

Li Shimin laughed when he heard his daughter's words, and then told them a few words, and then took Li Zhi out of Lizhi's dormitory, at this time it was almost two watches, although the lantern was raised in the palace, it was still very dim, Li Zhi followed behind his father, and he didn't know where his father was going to take him.

What Li Zhi didn't expect was that Li Shimin in front took him out of his sister's bedroom, but finally came to Li Zhi's own bedroom, after entering the palace, Li Shimin found a place to sit down, and then let the palace maids and chamberlains in the palace retreat, and for a while, only he and Li Zhi were left in the entire dormitory.

"Pheasant, you're twelve years old this year, aren't you?" Li Shimin pulled Li Zhi to sit beside him, and said with emotion at the moment, when his wife Empress Changsun died, Li Zhi was only nine years old, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and he also destroyed Goguryeo.

"Yes, after the New Year, Erchen will be thirteen years old, and in two years he will be considered an adult." Li Zhi also replied at the moment that since his mother's death, this year is also the happiest year he has ever lived, because this year he went to Liaodong with Li Xiu, not only saw the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty with his own eyes, but also saw the customs and customs of various places, and even personally contacted many various people, which made him have a deeper understanding of the world he lives in.

"Adult?" Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard his son's words, and he didn't seem to be ready for Li Zhi to become an adult, but he quickly shook his head and smiled, "Unconsciously, you are also a big child, and you are about to become an adult to live your own life, but this is okay, if your mother can see you grow up safely, she must be very pleased." ”

When Li Zhi heard his father mention his deceased mother, he couldn't help but show a gloomy look on his face, but then he only heard Li Shimin continue: "But although your mother is gone, your uncle is still there, and you usually have to get closer to him!" ”

"Well, Erchen remembers his father's teachings, and in fact, my uncle is very good to me, and he often sends us some gifts." Li Zhi also nodded immediately, but he didn't say that he felt that the eldest grandson Wuji had something strange, firstly, he didn't want his father to worry, and secondly, he was also used to not communicating with his father, because he knew that it was useless to say it, and when he had all the things on his mind, he was more willing to talk to Li Xiu.

"Well, your uncle is really good to you." Li Shimin said in a light tone at this time, but as soon as his words came out, Li Zhi glanced at his father with some doubts, because he felt that his father seemed to be a little wrong when he said this, but he couldn't feel that something was wrong?

However, after Li Shimin said the above sentence, he quickly changed the topic and said to Li Zhi again: "By the way, although what Li Xiu taught you is good, the lessons in the palace can't be left behind, what books have you been reading recently?" ”

"Enlighten my father, the courtiers in the palace have not fallen behind, and recently the sons have been studying the "Book of Filial Piety" with the book Lang Xiao Deyan." Li Zhi heard his father's question and immediately replied again.

"Filial piety?" Li Shimin also showed an interested expression when he heard this, the Book of Filial Piety is one of the thirteen classics of Confucianism, and the legend is that it was written by Confucius, but some people suspect that this is attached by later generations, and the book of the Book of Filial Piety appeared in the Qin and Han dynasties at the earliest, but even so, it does not hinder the status of the Book of Filial Piety in Confucianism.

"Since you are reading the Book of Filial Piety, then the father will test you, what do you think is the most important thing in the book "The Book of Filial Piety"?" Li Shimin went on to say that he rarely found time to accompany Li Zhi, and he didn't want to consider his knowledge, but this book of filial piety aroused his interest, because he is now very sensitive to the word "filial piety".

Hearing his father consider his own knowledge, Li Zhi was also shocked, and quickly replied: "Erchen thinks that filial piety is the most important, starting with serving his parents, serving the king when he grows up, and finally achieving the goal of self-cultivation. A gentleman serves the king, and when he goes to the temple, he thinks about being loyal to the country, and when he retires to the house, he thinks that he is advising the monarch to make mistakes and correct his evils, so that he can be called a good courtier! ”

"Hahahaha~, good answer, if you can act according to this, you will be able to serve your father and brother well and be a good courtier!" Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh again when he heard Li Zhi's answer, Li Zhi's answer can be said to have touched Li Shimin's heart, which also made him more satisfied with his son, and he felt that he didn't hurt him in vain.

"Thank you for my father's praise, although my son is still young, my husband often teaches me, let me understand my father's hardships more, be a good son now, and assist my eldest brother to be a good courtier in the future!" In the face of his father's praise, Li Zhi was also very happy to answer again, and by the way, he also praised Li Xiu.

"Hehe, for Li Jing, Li Xiu is not a good son, but he is a good courtier, but unfortunately he is too lazy, and sometimes even I can't call him." When Li Xiu was mentioned, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a somewhat helpless expression.

However, after saying the above words, Li Shimin suddenly showed a silent expression, and after a long while, I saw him continue to speak: "But Li Xiu has one thing that I admire very much, that is, he never loves power, and he is transcendent from beginning to end, and it seems that no matter how great power he is, he can't make his heart move, which is also something that other ministers in the court can't do." ”

"Mr. is a lazy character, in his opinion, the intrigue in the court is not as interesting as going to the Yellow Canal to fish every day." Li Zhi couldn't help but smile when he heard his father's evaluation of Li Xiu.

As a student, he naturally knows his husband's character very well, but now he is in doubt, his father said that he has something to say to him, but now the two are chatting, but none of them are talking about business, which makes him more curious?
