Chapter 335: She's Young
Li Shimin used "I don't know what to do" to describe the Fang and Lu families, but there was not much anger on his face.
Being on the throne, it is natural to hope that the court will be harmonious, but this harmony cannot be overdone, if the family is tightly embraced, it is not conducive to the imperial system, but it cannot be like Lu Zhongzhi and Fang Qiao, who do not back down from each other and lose face in the court.
All in all, there must be a boundary for this harmony, and there must also be a degree for this trouble.
This truth, as a monarch, naturally will not say to his subordinates, after the mother of the house made a big fuss about the Lu family ancestral hall, the reason why Li Shimin was cold was to wait for others to come to him and say, the eldest grandson Wuji is a visionary world, and his visit to the palace gave Li Shimin the impetus to intervene, but how did this matter have anything to do with Li Tai, and it is necessary to mention that that night, the emperor ordered several of his close sons to enter the palace for dinner, and mentioned this matter intentionally or unintentionally, just depending on their opinions.
The prince had been advised by the eldest grandson Wuji before, but he didn't express any opinions, Li Kezheng had the intention of winning over the Huaiguo Mansion, and intentionally or unintentionally helped the Lu family say a few "fair" words, and the rest of the people also had their own favorites, and in the end, Li Tai said coldly:
"You might as well hand it over to Dali Temple for interrogation."
This opinion was ridiculed by the prince on the spot, and said that wouldn't it make the court even more shameless, but Li Tai threw another sentence back:
"It's just to make them lose enough face, so that their brains can be clearer."
So, Li Shimin didn't say anything at the time, but the next day he left Lu Zhongzhi and Fang Qiao in the court, and after reprimanding, he found a reason to hand over the confused accounts of the two families to Dali Temple to deal with.
The words are far away, and then talk about the father and son in the same room at this time, Li Shimin mentioned this matter, his face was not angry, Li Tai saw it in his eyes, and replied with little concern:
"Master Fang and Huai Guogong are both understanding people, after this case is settled, no matter what the outcome is, it should be much more peaceful, but it involves the remnants of King An, and the Lu family was taken away again, seeing that there is no hope of recovery, the contradictions between the two families are even more irreconcilable."
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and frowned slightly, "If this Lu family is really the woman of the Fang family, then it is difficult to say, I remember that Lu Qing seemed to be very fond of his young daughter back then, and I was confused by them, Huang'er, according to you, who is the family of four in the Lu family." β
Li Tai didn't think about it, so he replied in a low voice: "Erchen doesn't know, just looking at how Dali Temple decides, it's just a mess, but they can't figure it out, and they dare to complain about you, so why should you waste your energy for this." β
Li Shimin's eyes flashed slightly, his brows were flattened, and he said with a smile: "Hehe, okay, then let's not talk about their troubles," looking at his beloved son who was of good character on the other side of the Longzu case, the words changed, "I heard that you have been very close to the third lady of the eldest grandson family recently?" β
Li Tai did not answer, but looked down at the stack of folds on the case. Li Shimin stretched out his hand and patted the desk gently, smiling and smiling:
"Why, it's not easy to talk to me, a few months ago you refused to tell you about the marriage, and you refused to talk about any reason, so I will give you a few days, but seeing that next month's birthday is over, that is, you will be twenty years old, and there is no concubine in the house, if you don't know that there are still so many women in your other courtyard, I will think that my son is a pure-hearted person."
Except for him, I'm afraid that Li Shimin has never joked with other sons in private like this, but Li Tai has no joy in his heart, and he said that the fourth prince is favored and is the emperor's favorite son, but who knows, the middle-aged man who is looking at Li Tai with a smile in front of him has never clearly revealed the slightest intention of succession to him. The more unreasonably favored he was, the more he attracted the hostility of his brothers and the flattery of his unexplained courtiers, and in exchange for more and more falsehoods every day.
"Emperor, if you really like it, you might as well say it to me, if it is suitable, I will personally issue an edict, and when your birthday is over, you will make a concubine." The third lady of the eldest grandson's family, although she is good-looking, but her age is not appropriate, if you have the heart, you will wait for another year or two. β
This is said by the father and son in private, if it is heard by others, I don't know what they will think, it seems that Li Shimin is not opposed to implicating Li Tai with the eldest grandson's sister-in-law?
Li Tai did not rush to answer, but lowered his head and pondered his words. These days, Li Tai has been involved with the eldest grandson Xi indiscriminately, one of the purposes is to test Li Shimin's intentions, whether he intends to change the prince, it can be seen from how to deal with his marriage, the eldest grandson's family is neutral on the surface, but as the prince's maternal uncle's family, if he marries him, a competitor for the prince in the eyes of outsiders, it will be intriguing.
The father said, "If he has a heart...... A trace of coldness flashed through the corners of Li Tai's eyes, and when he looked up again, only a bland look remained, "Erchen and the eldest Sun San, are mostly spread by outsiders, just as my father said - she is still young, so she doesn't understand this." β
The blue and blue eyes were a little fluttering, he was still broken by others, the girl was only twelve or thirteen years old, and she was in the age of ignorance, so she shouldn't understand.
Li Shimin couldn't see anything from his face, listened to his words, but agreed: "She is young, in your house, you still have to find a caring and sensible person to control it first." He didn't know that the "she" he was referring to was completely two people from the "she" he was talking about.
"This main room can be delayed for a year or two, but the side concubine, when you are born, you must set up one or two first, and avoid criticism from others, the more difficult the words are, there is no one in the house, it is not a thing, I picked a few for you, all remember on this, you think about it."
Li Shimin said, then took out a copy of the Qingtou Wen that had been prepared before from the desk and pushed it over.
"......" Li Tai didn't answer, took the text fold in his hand, turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, and said, "Erchen is going to Guozijian in the afternoon." β
"It's preparing for the book, it's the right thing, you go, don't delay."
"The retainers retired."
Li Tai stood up and bowed to the head of the dragon foot case, then folded the stack of texts into his sleeve and walked towards the outside of the hall. Li Shimin looked at the back quietly, with a faint thought in his eyes, until the others disappeared behind the screen of the second hall gate, he retracted his gaze and continued to pick up the official document on the side to read.
Li Tai out of the Taiji Palace, did not leave, but through the corridor and alleys, towards the north side of the palace, although he has been out of the palace for a few years, but when he was a child often lived in the palace, at this moment the palace walked at will, was seen by the palace people, but no one dared to stop, that is, there are people who do not know others, see those eyes, but also know where it is sacred.
Li Tai all the way to the northwest of a garden under the palace people's small salute, although there are many dead trees and sleeping grass in this garden, but it is neat and unusual, standing in the small pavilion on the side of the garden, it is easy to see the palace on the partition wall, the feeling of coldness, from the other end of the wall constantly comes.
After standing in the pavilion for a quarter of an hour, he heard a soft inquiry from behind him:
"You, who are you?"
Li Tai, who had noticed the movement behind him since Fang Cai, took one last look at the highest pavilion in the palace, and then turned around and wanted to leave.
"Fourth Highness!"
Li Tai, who is now mostly known as the 'King of Wei', glanced sideways at the girl who was under a tree not far away, and did not find any familiarity from the other party's somewhat panicked and swollen face, and after a glance, he left straight out of the garden, his slender back and the hem of his clothes slightly blown by the wind were taken into the eyes of the girl intently.
I don't know how long it took, until a sound of footsteps in the courtyard approached, and the girl came back to her sensesβ
"Wan'er, Wan'er, why did you come here again? Your mother came to the palace to see you, and my mother asked me to call you over. β
"Well, ah, I know, thank you, Sister Zhiping."
Huaiguo Mansion to the Li Yuan
Yi Yu sat at the head of the bed with a cluster of autumn-colored brocade quilts, quietly listened to Cheng Xiaofeng sitting on the crescent stool next to the bed, and smiled and told her about the interesting things that happened in the temporary teaching house of the Guozijian in the past two days because of the struggle for those book writing places.
After listening to Mrs. Fang's words, she drank purple ginger syrup and soaked her feet, woke up from a lunch break after taking the medicine, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Cheng Xiaofeng, who was sitting on the edge of her bed, staring at her.
β...... Then I replied that it was south, but I didn't expect to be blinded to me, haha! β
Cheng Xiaofeng is lucky, she is one of the remaining eighteen people at the moment.
"Xiaohu was also shouting to see you, but you were sick and it was inconvenient to see him, so I didn't let me come, oh, I almost forgot, and Du Er's kid, asked me to come over with a little something, and they were all put outside, Mr. Du also asked me to say hello to you, Xiaoyu," Cheng Xiaofeng's face smiled for a long time, and finally restrained a little, showing a sad color, and said:
"You take care of your illness, don't worry about the others."
"Well," Yi Yu replied with a smile, "You should be careful in the past two days, if nothing goes wrong, I think you will be selected." β
"Selected for what?" While the two were talking, Lu Zhi walked in from outside with a tray, and Pingtong, who was waiting in the room, was about to take it, but he motioned to move a small table next to the bed.
Cheng Xiaofeng glanced him up and down, and saw that his face was no different, so he said, "You're talking about the candidate for the book." β
"Oh," Lu Zhi put the tray on the small table, instructed Pingtong to wait for Yu Yu to eat, and then called Cheng Xiaofeng to the dining room to eat with the Lu family.
Cheng Xiaofeng scratched her slightly red face, greeted Yiyu, and followed him out of the house, watching the two of them leave, and listened to Pingtong, who was holding dishes and vegetables for her, saying:
"Miss, Cheng Xiaofeng, she is really lively."
"yes." Yi Yu withdrew her gaze from the door, but she was faintly worried for her friend, she didn't believe that her eldest brother didn't see anything.
