Li Tai, who was blessed by misfortune
Li Tai explained very happily.
He knew that the mistakes he had made would at most make him beaten, and no matter how bad he was, it would only make his father snub him for a while.
Even so, it is a hundred times stronger than being driven to Yangzhou.
As long as he can stay in Chang'an, there is always a chance to win his father's favor again, and once he arrives in Yangzhou, I am afraid that even if he dies in a few years, he will not be able to exchange a few tears from his father.
Li Shimin waited for Li Tai to finish explaining and then smiled coldly: "It turns out that you are very clear about your mistakes!" In that case, why do you knowingly commit it? ”
Where did Li Tai dare to say that he didn't say goodbye to his parents because he was lazy? I don't dare to say that I befriended the minister in order to compete for the crown.
While crying, he replied: "This matter is all complained about the poor mind of the minister, and he is easily confused by the words of the housekeeper. ”
Li Tai did not hesitate to sell the housekeeper who had just been promoted by himself.
In his opinion, if it weren't for the butler's hard encouragement, he would not have done such a wrong thing.
After Li Shimin listened to Li Tai's words, he raised his hand and gave him a slap and knocked him to the ground.
I only heard Li Shimin ask angrily: "Butler? Every time you make a mistake, do you only take the housekeeper out to ward off the disaster? ”
After listening to Li Shimin's question, Li Tai's face turned red and he didn't dare to speak.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Shimin kicked twice angrily and then said: "I originally thought that you were young and ignorant and thoughtless, but I didn't want you to be so irresponsible. ”
Speaking of which, he began to punch and kick Li Thai again, and it seemed that he really hated it.
Li Tai was beaten so hard that he screamed, and he couldn't stand it after a few hits.
He cried to the eldest grandson, "Queen Mother, help! The son is going to be beaten to death by his father! ”
Empress Eldest Sun was already distressed when she watched from the sidelines, but the mistake made by Li Tai this time was too serious, so she endured it and didn't say anything.
At this time, hearing Li Tai begging for mercy, she finally couldn't help but persuade Li Shimin: "Erlang, hurry up, don't fight anymore, if you fight again, I'm afraid that Qingque will really be broken by you." ”
After listening to the words of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin slapped Li Tai a few times before he spoke: "The son of a sinister is so unlucky, it is worry-free to be killed." ”
Empress Eldest Sun said: "Qingque's age is still young after all, although there is a lack of virtue, there is still a chance to remedy, Erlang might as well give him a good guidance from a famous teacher." ”
After listening to Empress Changsun's words, Li Shimin was silent for a while and sighed: "Shu Jue is good at arguing and turbidity and can reward evil and good, so it seems that he has to bother him to teach this son of evil." ”
The person Li Shimin said was one of the three prime ministers now, Wang Jue.
This person is a relict of the Sui Dynasty, with rich political qualifications and extremely capable.
Li Tai, who was originally beaten by Li Shimin, was dazed when he heard that his Lao Tzu was going to invite Wang Qi to be his teacher, and he immediately came to his senses.
He knelt down in front of Li Shimin from the ground, and said: "Erchen thanks his father for his love, and in the future, Erchen must be humble and learn from his father and mother so as not to disappoint his father and mother." ”
At this time, he had forgotten the pain in his body, and his mind was full of excitement to be able to worship Wang Jue as a teacher.
Think about it, as the prime minister of the dynasty, Wang Jue's connections are quite huge.
If Li Tai can get his support, then he will definitely be able to occupy a big advantage in the future competition for the throne.
Li Zhi, who had been silent, couldn't help but pout as soon as he heard Li Shimin say that he would arrange Wang Qi to be a teacher for Li Tai.
He didn't expect that he had spent a long time trying to pit Li Tai, and in the end, he actually let him be a blessing in disguise.
Seeing Li Tai's happy appearance, Li Shimin couldn't help but snort coldly and said: "You don't have to be happy too early, if the king and the servants report your misbehavior to me in the future, don't blame me for severely punishing you." ”
Li Tai hurriedly replied: "Please rest assured that my son will follow the teacher's teachings in the future and no longer disappoint my father." ”
Li Shimin sent him back to the palace after telling Li Tai a few more words, and a farce was over.
Although Li Zhi watched a good show, he was not happy at all.
After dinner, Li Zhi hurriedly found Liu An and said to him: "Now that the fourth brother's workshop has formed a competition with us, we must quickly come up with a way to deal with it so as not to suffer losses in the future." ”
Liu An said ashamedly: "Please forgive Your Highness, it is all the uselessness of the servants who failed to discover His Royal Highness King Yue's actions in time." ”
Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, the main thing is that we lack talents in business." ”
Liu An said: "The slave will go out of the palace tomorrow to investigate, I believe that there will be no shortage of such capable people in Chang'an City." ”
Li Zhi nodded and said: "That's fine, after all, you and I have been in the palace for a long time, and it is good to leave business affairs to professionals." ”
Liu An said: "Now that the market of King Yue has been opened, I don't know what His Highness's plans are in the future?" ”
After listening to Liu An's question, Li Zhi couldn't help but ponder.
He and Li Tai are in a different situation.
Li Tai now has his own palace, so he can directly do a lot of things outside in his own name.
And Li Zhi not only has to live in the palace, but also because he is young and has no power in the court, even if he makes a name for himself, it is useless.
In this way, he can only find a way to use pure business methods to defeat Li Tai in normal business behavior.
However, there is one thing he can still take advantage of, and that is that all the new furniture that appears on the market today is an imitation of his own creativity.
Thinking of this, Li Zhi suddenly had an idea.
He opened his mouth and said to Liu An: "You will find a way to spread the news of King Yue's imitation of this king's creative imitation furniture tomorrow, and at the same time, let everyone outside know that only the furniture that has been circulated from our workshop is authentic." ”
After listening to Li Zhi's words, Liu An asked with some doubts: "Your Highness, please forgive the ignorance of the slaves, almost all carpenters can imitate this furniture, in case someone else has to pretend to be, how can we distinguish it?" ”
Li Zhi smiled mysteriously after listening to Liu An's words.
Then he motioned for Liu An to come over and whisper to Liu An.
After listening to Li Zhi's words, Liu An opened his mouth directly in shock.
He couldn't believe that at Li Zhi's age, he could come up with such a brilliant solution.
Just when he was still in a daze, Li Zhi said to him again: "Don't put our furniture on the market for the time being, wait until everything is ready." ”
After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, Liu An nodded stunned, and then asked, "What is His Highness going to do with the furniture sold before?" ”
Liu An was still a little nervous when he asked this sentence, after all, there were a lot of sales before.
After listening to Liu An's question, Li Zhi smiled and said, "Just send someone to solve it door to door, do you still want to take it back?" ”
