The joint stab of the two siblings
I have to say that Li Tai's mobility is still very strong, and he quickly let his subordinates set up a carpenter's workshop after that day.
The main imitation of this workshop is some high-end furniture that is popular in the palace, and the customers are also some high-ranking officials and nobles.
He has a much greater advantage than Li Zhi in this regard, after all, he still has a lot of weight in the minds of these people.
Many people will take the initiative to take care of this business after hearing that it belongs to his name.
Li Zhi didn't know these things at this time, and he was struggling with those obscure knowledge of Chinese medicine these days.
He had a visceral urgency about this matter, and there was hardly any other purpose in it, just so that he could solve some of the ailments of the eldest grandson empress.
In the first two days, neither his teacher Sun Huipu nor his old son Li Shimin thought that Li Zhi would be able to persist in learning.
Sun Huipu even began to regret agreeing to teach Li Zhi to study medicine, because he really didn't know how to discipline this little thing in front of him if Li Zhi didn't learn seriously.
However, Li Zhi's performance surprised everyone, he not only studied seriously but also had a surprisingly good memory.
Li Zhi had memorized those elementary theoretical books in less than two days.
In addition, in the process of studying medicine with Sun Huipu, Li Zhi often asked him for some ways to strengthen his body, and then forced Li Lizhi to practice with him.
Since Empress Changsun was already pregnant, he deliberately learned a set of massage techniques and massaged Empress Changsun every day.
Li Zhi's performance was seen by Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and he naturally felt extremely gratified, so he loved him a little more.
On this day, Li Shimin came to the Lizheng Hall early.
He saw that Li Zhi was seriously massaging Empress Changsun, so he couldn't help but ask, "How about the pheasant slave wait for the father to press the emperor?" ”
Li Zhi nodded and said, "Father, wait a while, and wait for the son to press the queen mother, and then come to serve the father." ”
Empress Changsun rolled her eyes at Li Shimin and said: "Erlang is really annoying, the pheasant slave is already tired after pressing the concubine for a long time, but you still have to make him tired again." ”
After listening to Empress Changsun's words, Li Shimin smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't I want to feel the comfort of the pheasant slave pressing on you?" ”
After saying this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "My three favorite sons, now one is busy learning to deal with state affairs, the other is busy chasing fame and fortune, and now only one of the pheasant slaves can still be by his side every day to fulfill his filial piety." ”
After listening to Li Shimin's words, Empress Eldest Sun asked with some doubts: "Why did Erlang sigh so much?" Could it be that Gao Ming and Qingque are not performing well? ”
Li Shimin said: "Gao Ming's performance as the prince is good in other aspects, but his studies have been heavier recently, but Qingque's child has been performing a little worse recently. ”
Empress Eldest Sun asked a little nervously, "What did Qingque do to make you so displeased?" ”
Li Shimin snorted coldly and said: "He set up a carpenter's workshop to imitate the furniture in the palace, and sold it to those noble and rich families while using it to curry favor with some ministers, which really makes me feel uneasy!" ”
After Li Shimin said this, not only Empress Changsun was taken aback, but even Li Zhi couldn't help but be startled.
Li Zhi didn't expect that his furniture workshop had just started business, and soon ushered in the competition of his own family.
That's all it takes, he didn't expect Li Tai to actually think of using these furniture to curry favor with the minister.
Empress Eldest Sun frowned and said: "Qingque is indeed a bit too much to do like this, and it doesn't hurt if he wants to do business and make some money, but what is the intention of such a blatant attempt to win over the minister?" ”
Li Shimin said with self-reproach: "It seems that I was too good to him before, which made him have thoughts that he shouldn't have." ”
Empress Eldest Sun said: "Erlang doesn't have to blame himself, now that the matter has just happened, you just need to find him to educate him strictly." ”
Li Zhi had already finished massaging Empress Changsun at this time.
He turned around to massage Li Shimin and pretended to be angry and said to Li Shimin: "No wonder the fourth brother hasn't come to greet the queen mother recently, it turns out that he is busy making money with the ideas of his sons." ”
Li Zhi's knife can be said to be ruthless and accurate, he does not mention Li Tai's efforts to win over ministers, only that Li Tai neglected filial piety in order to make money.
In this way, Li Tai's crime has one more crime for no reason.
Thinking about it further, the furniture that Li Tai used to make money and win over ministers was still a copy of Li Zhi's creativity, which made it even more obvious that Li Tai was a little unscrupulous in doing things.
Just when Li Shimin was aroused even more angry by Li Zhi's words, he was considering whether to call Li Tai to discipline him properly.
Princess Li Lizhi of Changle hurriedly came over to greet Empress Changsun.
After Li Lizhen entered the door, she first bowed to her parents in a proper manner, and then said to the eldest grandson queen: "Erchen finished his studies a little late today, so he delayed to ask the queen mother for peace, and ask the queen mother for forgiveness." ”
Empress Eldest Sun doted on her and said, "You should have focused on your studies, and if you study late in the future, you don't have to come to greet the queen mother." ”
After listening to the words of the eldest grandson, Li Lizhi shook her head and said: "The son lives in the palace, and it is not far from the queen mother, how can he not come to greet the queen mother because of his studies?" ”
Li Shimin happily praised Li Lizhi after listening to Li Lizhen's words on the side: "Changle is really getting more and more sensible, and it is not in vain that my father and mother love you." ”
After hearing this, Li Lizhi wrinkled her nose playfully and said, "Erchen will not be lazy all day long with the excuse of academic tension like the eldest brother and the fourth brother. ”
After Li Zhi heard this, a smile flashed on his face after the treacherous plan succeeded.
Li Shimin was just the opposite, the smile on his face disappeared immediately after listening to Li Liqing's words.
I only heard him say to himself: "Changle is right!" As a son of man, how can he casually use his studies as an excuse not to greet his parents? ”
After saying this, he turned his head to the door and said, "Ananda, come to Xing, you two go to the palace of the prince and the king of Yue to show me what they are busy with?" I didn't even have time to say hello to the queen. ”
Li Shimin's remark is actually a bit exaggerated.
Strictly speaking, Li Chengqian and the others don't come every day to greet the eldest grandson, and according to Li Zhi's statistics, they actually don't come half of the time every week.
But these are no longer important today, because Li Zhi and Changle's mending knives have successfully detonated Li Shimin's anger.
He wouldn't even think about Li Chengqian now, and the two of them came over to say goodbye a few days a week.
Now he just wants to teach Li Chengqian and Li Tai a lesson, and let them know what it means to put filial piety first.
