255. Competing for Favor (I)
The eldest grandson queen, who had a tacit understanding with her husband, touched his gaze, her heart suddenly jumped, and her cheeks involuntarily blushed slightly, she glanced at her son who was having fun on the couch, glanced at her husband, and gently withdrew her hand.
After the eldest grandson withdrew his hand, his eyes turned slightly, and he turned away from the conversation at the right time: "Your Majesty came over at this time, you must have something to say to your concubine, right?" ”
"Well, I really have something to tell you, Gao Ming is twelve years old this year, and as the crown prince, at this age, I feel that he should learn to manage some political affairs."
"Now that the battle of the Northern Expedition has begun, the auxiliary machine is the chief dispatcher of grain and grass of the Northern Expedition, I want him to follow the auxiliary machine to experience and experience, what do you think?" Speaking of business, Li Shimin suddenly suppressed the ripples in his heart, and discussed it with his wife.
"Well, Gao Ming is really not small, Your Majesty thinks that he can let him go down to practice, and the concubine has no opinion." Empress Eldest Sun was stunned when she heard this, and then said with a smile.
"Gao Ming has been by your side since he was born, and he has never left for a day, although the grain and grass camp is on the outskirts of Beijing, it is also dozens of miles away from the imperial city, he went there, you are afraid that it will be difficult to see him for ten days and half a month, you are not worried at all?" Li Shimin glanced at her in some surprise.
"What is there to worry about, Gao Ming is the prince, these are his obligations, there is a saying among the people that a loving mother is more defeated, why, in the eyes of His Majesty, the concubine is such a person who can't distinguish between the important and the important?" Empress Eldest Sun gave him a blank look.
"Guanyin maid ......" Li Shimin looked at his wife's light anger and shallow anger, and his eyes darkened again.
The matter of the crown prince Li Chengqian going to the grain and grass camp to train with the eldest grandson Wuji soon caused a whirlwind in the palace, and all the palace concubines who had sons were a little pantothenic acid in their hearts.
Although Li Chengqian is the crown prince, he is only eleven years old, and he is only twelve years old.
Wei Guifei, Yan Xianfei is just that, their son is still young, Yan Xianfei's son Li Zhen is only more than two years old, Wei Guifei's son Li Shen is still half a month away from turning a year old, and there is no reason to be jealous.
What really makes my heart depressed is Concubine Yin De and Concubine Yang Shu, Concubine Yin's son is only three years younger than the prince, and the son who is afraid of Concubine Shu is only ten months younger than the prince, both princes, the prince is valued by the emperor so much, and his son the emperor is like invisible, how can they balance their hearts.
"Mother, my son heard that the eldest brother was arranged by his father to go to the grain and grass camp for training, and the son also wants to go to the military camp for training." On the evening of the third day when Li Chengqian was sent to the grain and grass camp, Li Ke, the king of Shu, came to Lanxiu Palace after school and said to Yang Shufei.
Under the careful teaching of Yang Shufei over the years, he has learned very hard in literature and martial arts, and among Li Shimin's slightly older princes, he, the crown prince and Li Tai, the king of Yue, are the most outstanding.
Li Tai is very talented in this part of literature, and when it comes to the talent and attainment of poetry and songs, Li Ke and Li Chengqian are not only inferior to him, but in terms of literature and martial arts, Li Ke is the most outstanding.
Especially the cavalry strategy, not only the teachers of Guozijian praised him a lot, but Li Shimin also praised him more than once.
At the age of eleven or twelve, he may still be a ignorant teenager in ordinary people, but for royal people, the heart of competition is born early.
"Ke'er, my mother can't help you in this matter, if there is no matter for the prince to go to the grain and grass camp, with your temperament, take the initiative to ask your father at this time, saying that you want to go to the army to have a hard time, and your father will probably look at you differently."
"But now, whether it is me or you go to Your Majesty yourself, you will leave an impression with him that he is impure and blindly competes with the crown prince." Yang Shufei glanced at her son and said lightly.
"That mother concubine ......" Li Ke was stunned, before that, he really didn't think about taking the initiative to ask his father and emperor to go to the military camp for training.
Although he is more sensible and intelligent than his peers, he is still two months away from turning eleven years old, and his mind is not so meticulous, and he can't bear such hardships.
"I didn't remind you before, and I didn't expect Your Majesty to value the prince so much, and the queen is willing to let her eldest son in the palm of her hand suffer like this, but it doesn't matter, the future will be long, you should work hard to learn your skills first."
"The current Northern Expedition is the most important thing in my Tang Dynasty and His Majesty's heart, during this period, if Your Majesty wants to test your homework, most of you will ask you some questions about the Northern Expedition, you may wish to work harder in this area in the near future."
"As for the matter on the prince's side, the queen and His Majesty value their eldest son so much, but they forget that they have a son who is only more than a year younger than his brother, at this time, it is impossible for him not to feel a little uncomfortable."
"As for you, remember, don't discuss the prince's rights and wrongs, no matter who you hear discussing this matter, don't get involved, learning with peace of mind is the right way." Yang Shufei continued with a calm face, only when she said the last sentence, there was a little warning.
"The son understands, the son thanks his mother's teachings, and the son will study hard to live up to his mother's expectations." Li Ke glanced at Concubine Yang Shufei, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"Get up, you're still young, and it's reasonable that you can't figure out a lot of things." Yang Shufei waved her hand. Then the mother and son talked for a while, and Yang Shufei left her son here for dinner before letting him leave.
"Niangniang, Your Highness is becoming more and more sensible." After Li Ke left, Lan Yi came over and said with a smile.
"The heart is not stable enough, or a little impatient, although I have warned him, but this kid admits his mistakes on the surface, but he is still a little unconvinced in his heart, in his opinion, he probably thinks that he is only able to learn martial arts, everything is not under the prince, and he is also the son of the emperor, why can the prince go out to practice, he can't." Yang Shufei shook her head.
"His Royal Highness is still young, and when he grows older, he will understand these truths." Lan Yi said.
"Yes, it's really young, it's still more than a month before he turns eleven, a child at this age, there is nothing wrong with being a little competitive, think about back then, his grandfather ......" Yang Shufei looked at her son, but couldn't help but think of her father.
No matter how much she is not a father in the eyes of outsiders, but he really has nothing to say to himself, when she was a teenager, she heard her mother tell her about her father's interesting stories when he was young, and when his father was interested, he would also tell her about his youthful spirit.
From a certain point of view, her husband and her father were very similar when they were young, they were both the same bright and dazzling, the same talent, and even the way they seized power and ascended to the throne were very similar.
The only thing that is not like it is that Li Shimin can listen to admonishment more than her father, and she can suppress her own desires more.
