Chapter Forty-Nine: Accountability
"Xie Yi, you are so bold." Li Shimin lowered his voice and roared angrily, for fear of frightening his precious daughter.
What's the situation?
Xie Yi was also taken aback, anyone who suddenly yelled "bold" by the emperor without a head or brain, and his heart would chuckle.
"Your Majesty has arrived, and the minister has missed the distance, please forgive your sins." Xie Yi accompanied the smiling face, but he hesitated in his heart, Li Er shouldn't be guilty of this trivial matter, right?
"So, I need to give you a notice before I come, so that you can prepare well?"
Belch... Xie Yi was even more inexplicable, and hesitated: "Your Majesty is here, whether you are ready or not, the ministers should serve with all their hearts." ”
"Dedicated? Is this what you do to me? ”
"The minister is afraid, please make it clear." Xie Yi is a little inexplicable, is this the legendary companion like a tiger, turning his face faster than turning a book?
Li Shimin calmed his face and said angrily: "I received a report that your young sister was rude, disrespectful to her son, and even bullied my princess...... It turned out that I didn't believe it yet, but I didn't expect that now I saw it with my own eyes, but you turned a blind eye to it. How? When my daughter is a bully, or is it a bully? ”
It turned out to be this matter, Li Er Majesty also made a big fuss, and sure enough, when it comes to children, the wise and martial emperor will not only be unprincipled, but even a bit like a shrew who protects a calf.
Xie Yi sneered: "Your Majesty, you are serious. ”
"What, you don't even take it seriously?"
"No, actually...... The minister did not inform her of the identity of the princess, nor did he teach her to respect the princess......"
"Are you negligent?"
"The minister did it on purpose."
"You're so daring." Hearing this, Li Shimin was immediately furious.
Xie Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is angry, can you listen to the minister's words?" ”
Li Shimin said angrily: "Say, I hope your words can save your life." ”
Said to be wise and martial, said to be good Jun has no jokes? Isn't it okay for the Emperor to openly joke about the most threatening words? Who are you fooling to kill someone for this little thing? Threatening others with life and death at every turn is also... Half in the bag!
After Xie Yi looked down on Li Er in his heart, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you think Her Royal Highness the princess feels that she is not respected?" Can Your Highness be happy? ”
"My son looks quite happy, it doesn't mean that your sister can bully my noble daughter."
"Your Majesty, please think about it carefully, is Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang happy here today, or happy in the palace in the past?"
"This ...... What do you want to say? ”
Li Shimin's slight hesitation was enough to explain the problem, Xie Yi knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "If Your Majesty's answer is the latter, the minister has nothing to say; If it is the former, then the minister may be able to guess some reason. ”
"You say!" Although Li Shimin was a little unconvinced, his attitude had changed significantly, and he gradually became interested.
Xie Yi said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the reason is probably because of the words favor and dignity, Princess Jinyang is the youngest daughter of Empress Wende, Her Majesty loves her very much, and even personally bows to raise her, although they are all royal children, but Her Majesty should be the most attentive and pampered to Princess Jinyang." ”
Li Shimin snorted lightly, it is an admitted fact, dozens of children will inevitably favor one over the other. In particular, the children born to the eldest grandson queen are the most favored, which is a fact known to both the government and the public. Among them, Princess Jinyang is the youngest, so she has received the most care and love, and she is the real proud daughter of the sky.
"Your Majesty loves the princess and is a model of a loving father." Let's take a pat on the back of the pant first, Xie Yi continued: "Although Your Majesty personally raised the princess, Her Majesty was busy with government affairs, and most of the princess's daily life and entertainment were taken care of by the palace people. The palace people knew that His Majesty loved the princess very much, so they naturally did not dare to be the slightest slack, and they had to be submissive. ”
Now it's Li Er's turn to wonder, isn't that what a slave should be?
Xie Yi continued: "The minister once heard the palace maid who waited for the princess mention that the ladies and princesses in the palace love the princess very much and often accompany the princess to play, but Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang doesn't like it and is unpleasant, why is this?" ”
"Why?" Li Shimin's brows furrowed, he was also quite puzzled by this, and even lost his temper with the concubines in the palace, but in the end it was over.
"Your Majesty, I think the reason lies in the words equality and sincerity." Xie Yi said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is noble and should be respected and respected, but Her Royal Highness is young and still a child. It is important for children to be accompanied equally and sincerely.
The palace lady and the royal highnesses know that Her Majesty loves Princess Jinyang, so they will be extra careful in their ordinary play, lest they let the princess suffer a trace of grievance, which will cause Her Majesty to be angry. There is a very subtle layer of awe in his mind, the awe of His Majesty.
Forgive the courtiers for their courage, some people seem to treat the princess well, but not sincerely. Because as long as Princess Jinyang is happy, Her Majesty will be happy, and Her Majesty will remember their goodness, and then they will be favored more. Among them, there is a hint of flattery, even flattery. ”
Li Shimin's face has always been calm, but his expression has changed slightly, obviously Xie Yi's words have caused him to think deeply.
The effect is not bad, Xie Yi continued: "In the past, Zou Ji was in Qi for the phase, and he was more beautiful than Xu Gong in Linzi, and his wife, concubine, and visitors all called Zou Ji more beautiful than Xu Gong; However, Zou Ji was ashamed of himself after seeing Duke Xu in person, and sighed that his wife, concubine, and guest beauty were because of love, flattery, flattery, and requests for him, so he felt to admonish King Qi. ”
"So, you're also admonishing me about this?"
Belch... It seems that the pretending is too much. Xie Yi hurriedly said: "The minister is just an example...... Although Princess Jinyang is young, she is pure in heart and quite sensitive, and sometimes she can understand whether others treat her hypocritically or falsely.
His Majesty and King Jin are sincere to each other and love each other from the heart, so the princess is the happiest when she gets along with you and King Jin, but she is often sullen. is even willing to wait for His Royal Highness King Jin to get out of school, and is unwilling to play with others, probably because of this. ”
"You are very careful...... "Li Er sighed lightly, and most of his anger had gone.
"Your Majesty, this is also the reason why the minister does not tell the princess of the princess, I don't know that there will be no awe and flattery, pure childlike innocence, mutual partners, mutual fun, sincere and equal treatment. In this way, Her Royal Highness will feel respect and true happiness in her heart.
For example, when His Majesty talks with some courtiers who are skilled in chess, the courtiers may be able to win His Majesty, but he deliberately lets His Majesty Xià; In this way, even if you win, can you be happy? ”
"Somewhat." Li Shimin turned around and asked, "Where did you learn this?" It can't be ...... too."
The old immortal who rode the green ox didn't say a few words, but everyone understood.
Some pedagogical and psychological truths, most people in later generations understand, just a little show. Xie Yi said softly: "Your Majesty, the minister's parents died early, and the little sister has been sluggish since she was a child; As an elder brother, he shoulders the responsibility of raising and educating his little sister, hoping to make up for her shortcomings and let her grow up happily, so he has a lot of thoughts about children. ”
Li Shimin looked at his playing daughter from a distance, and said leisurely: "I see, then let my son play with your sister, since the queen left, it is rare to see my son so happy." ”
"Yes, when the younger sister is older and understands the reason, the minister will teach her to distinguish between monarchs and ministers and respect the princess." Xie Yi hurriedly added, in case Li Shimin came back to his senses and felt that he did not respect the imperial power, then the problem would be big.
"Good!" Li Shimin nodded and asked, "The object that your sister threw at her son is a toy?" ”
"Yes, this thing is a sandbag, sewn together with small pieces, with a little beans or fine sand, and you can throw it to play. This thing is soft and small, and it will not hurt the princess. ”
"You've got a heart." Li Er's majesty rarely praised him, and suddenly saw Princess Jinyang, Xie Xiaoman, and even Li Zhi hurriedly walking down the corridor.
Li Shimin was curious: "Where are they going?" ”
Xie Yi saw his sister-in-law Du Shi coming out with a tray from a distance, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little unpleasant, and he was faintly worried in his heart......
