"Big brother, the younger brother is seriously ill and has not recovered, can you please come over the car for a while?" Behind the open car window, Li Su's handsome smiling face was revealed, but there was a pale and sickly look on this face.

Li Chengqian didn't expect to be blocked by Li Su here, and the other party invited him over, which made him a little suspicious. Although the two are brothers, the other party is the biggest threat to his position as the crown prince, and he has secretly made many small moves before, trying to destroy Li Su's reputation, it can be said that in Li Chengqian's heart, he has long not regarded Li Su as a brother, but as an opponent.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, in front of Li Su's younger brother and his opponent, Li Chengqian couldn't lose his bearing, and he also knew that the other party was indeed seriously ill, so after hearing Li Su's invitation, he also laughed loudly: "Sixth brother, you are really diligent, and you got up so early in the midst of a serious illness, which really makes you admire your brother!" ”

Li Chengqian said, opened the door and got out of the carriage, and with the support of the guards, he slowly walked to Li Su's car with a disabled leg. Li Su in the carriage was half-lying in the car, with Wen'er and Hua'er taking care of him. It's just that when he saw Li Chengqian limping, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in his heart.

Li Chengqian struggled to get into the carriage, and when he saw that Li Su had been paying attention to his disabled leg, a trace of anger immediately appeared on his face, and he asked very unhappily: "Sixth brother, just say what you have to do, I still have to go to the early dynasty!" ”

Hearing the other party's displeased tone, Li Su smiled without mind: "Big brother, don't worry. The reason why the younger brother got up so early today is actually to participate in the early dynasty. Let's talk as we go! ”

Li Chengqian was stunned, Li Xuan was a veritable lazy person. Usually, if he hadn't been summoned by his father, he would never have taken the initiative to go to court, but today he suddenly had to go to the early court, and he was seriously ill, which was obviously very unusual.

Seeing Li Chengqian's thoughtful expression, Li Su smiled secretly in his heart. said bluntly: "Big brother, you don't have to guess the intentions of the younger brother to go to court, in fact, the younger brother came to you this time to tell the truth!" ”

"Oh? Let the sixth brother go to court when you are sick. Surely it must be an extremely important thing, right? was broken by Li Xuan, but Li Chengqian's face remained unchanged, and he stared at the other party with a bright eye and asked.

"Hahaha~, the eldest brother laughed, the younger brother is just an idle person, where will there be any big deal?" Li Yu laughed loudly, and then changed the conversation and said, "It's just that the younger brother has a little objection to this Tubo and kinship matter, and I don't want the Tubo people to marry my princess of the Tang Dynasty so easily." So I joined forces with other brothers to give the Tibetan people some problems! ”

"Tibet?" Li Chengqian was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Su to come to him early in the morning, just for such a trivial matter as Tubo and kissing. At the moment, he glanced at the other party with some doubts, and then said, "Sixth brother, you want to be embarrassed for Tubo, I don't object to this, as long as you don't miss the national affairs!" ”

Li Chengqian is obviously playing dumb. Li Su had already said just now that he and other brothers wanted to solve problems in Tibet, and now he came to find each other in person, obviously trying to pull Li Chengqian up. It's a pity that Li Chengqian may be out of caution, or because he doesn't want to help Li Su, or maybe it's both, anyway, he doesn't want to get involved.

Regarding Li Chengqian's reaction, Li Su had expected it a long time ago, otherwise he would not have come in person. I saw him smile, he didn't look anxious at all, and said in a very slow tone: "Don't worry, eldest brother, I just want to make a joke with Tubo, and this matter is not my own, among them, the third brother, the seventh brother, the eighth brother, the ninth brother, and the tenth brother all agreed to this matter." ”

When Li Ke mentioned Li Ke and them, he deliberately called everyone by name, and every time he said someone, Li Chengqian's face changed a point. Li Ke and Li Su are brothers, and it was naturally expected by Li Chengqian to support him, but he didn't expect that among the ten princes in Chang'an, except for Li Su himself and two brothers who were only two or three years old, five of the other seven people walked with each other, which was a great blow to his prestige as a big brother. …,

Just when Li Chengqian's face changed, he only heard Li Cheng smile and then said: "After our brothers agreed on this matter, I feel that it is better for you to bring it up by the eldest brother, after all, the eldest brother is the crown prince and has the responsibility of leading the brothers, so it seems normal for you to propose it and then our brothers to echo it, but now since the eldest brother doesn't want to mix, then this drudgery can only be done by the younger brother!" ”

Li Su's words sounded like nothing, but in Li Chengqian's ears, they were full of thorns. As Li Su said, as the eldest son of the grandson and the crown prince, he naturally has the responsibility of leading the brothers, and his prestige among the brothers should also be the highest, but if the matter of embarrassment is raised by Li Su, and then the other brothers are attached, it is simply to let everyone, especially his father Li Shimin, know that his prestige among the brothers is not as good as Li Su.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian was very angry, and glared at Li Su viciously, and then said angrily: "Hmph, this matter will not bother the sixth brother, I can help you raise it in the morning, but you must explain to me clearly how to embarrass Tubo!" ”

Seeing that Li Chengqian finally got into his own trap, Li Cheng was proud in his heart, and said with a smile: "The eldest brother is really responsible, in fact, this matter is very simple, the brothers just don't want Tubo to marry my princess of the Tang Dynasty so easily, so on the way to the other party's marriage, an obstacle was set up, as long as the other party can pass smoothly, then we don't care about the two countries' peace anymore!" ”

Li Cheng Qian listened to it and thought about it carefully, and found that there was indeed no trap, so he put his mind at ease, but he also saw through Li Su's intentions, and glanced at the other party and said: "Liulang, you are really a good means, according to your method, my father can't find a reason to oppose it, and as long as my father agrees, Tubo Ke will jump into your trap, and then you won't pinch it as much as you want!" ”

"Huh? What are you talking about, big brother, why can't you understand it? Although Li Su is sick, the thickness of his face is not reduced by half a point, and he will not admit Li Chengqian's words, anyway, he will not admit it in front of the other party, and he has calculated everyone involved in this matter.

"Humph!" Li Chengqian saw Li Xuan's denial, flicked his sleeves angrily, stood up with difficulty and said, "Sixth brother, although I don't know why you want to prevent the peace with Tubo, but if there are any consequences caused by this matter, you can find a way to deal with it yourself, don't expect me to help you again!" ”

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he turned around and got out of the carriage. And Li Su looked at the other party's limping appearance, but the corners of his mouth showed a smile, compared to Li Tai's annoying guy, in fact, Li Chengqian is not bad, but it is a pity that Li Shimin dislikes it because of his disability, and now he is about to be driven crazy by Li Tai and Li Shimin, if nothing else, it is likely that he will eventually embark on the road of no return to rebellion.

Thinking of the bad things of these brothers in the future, Li Su couldn't help but sigh lightly, family affairs are troublesome enough, not to mention the royal affairs that are not separated from the family and the country, and it is even more chaotic, he would rather fight with others with a knife later, and definitely don't want to mix this pile of things anymore!

In the Taiji Palace, the dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty gathered together to start the official early dynasty. In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, there was no early dynasty, it can only be said to be a court meeting, and this court meeting is also different, the general court meeting is held in a location is not certain, it may be in the Taiji Palace, or it may be in the Liangyi Palace, then Li Shimin will send someone to inform the ministers who participated. And every first and fifteenth day of the new year, it can be regarded as the real court, as long as the ministers who are qualified to participate in the court, they will generally participate, and today happens to be the day of the court.

It's just that today's court meeting surprised many ministers, mainly in the front, a row of princes wearing royal clothes were all sitting there, not only Li Shen, who was just eight years old, came, but even Li Su, the king of Qi who had not recovered from a serious illness, was also there. Seeing this situation, all the civil and military officials were talking about it for a while, speculating whether something big was going to happen? …,

And when Li Shimin saw that his eight sons all came to participate in the court meeting, he couldn't help but be stunned, Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, was indispensable to him at every court meeting, and Li Tai was active during this time, and the court meeting was almost a non-falling, but today Li Ke and Li Su were all here, which made him a father confused.

However, everything is based on the government first, and at this kind of court meeting, Li Shimin is not easy to ask a few sons when he opens his mouth, so after going to the court, he still handles the government as before, some people do things and some people impeach, how to deal with it and how to deal with it.

Just when everything was going smoothly at the court meeting and the officials below had nothing to play, the crown prince Li Chengqian suddenly stood up, stepped forward a few steps and asked: "Father, the son has something to play!" ”

Seeing the eldest son limping, Li Shimin's brows furrowed slightly, and then he asked, "What does the prince have to do?" ”

"Father, I heard that the lord of Tubo asked to marry my princess of the Tang Dynasty, and my father has agreed, but the sons and brothers have different opinions!" Li Chengqian glanced at Li Su next to him helplessly, lowered his head and said.

"Oh, what do you think about it?" Li Shimin was also stunned when he heard this, no wonder all his sons came, it turned out that it was for the sake of harmony.

"Qi Qi father, the son thought that Tubo could not succeed in courting relatives last time, and he was good at raising swords, although I was taught a hard lesson by my Tang Dynasty, but it was really annoying! Therefore, Erchen and several younger brothers all think that if they want to marry our sister, they must first pass the level of our Tang prince! Li Chengqian raised his head at this time and said with a resolute face.

And Li Su next to him nodded again and again, with such acting skills, he is indeed worthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty! (To be continued)
