Chapter 97 Son and Grandson
Qinzheng Hall.
In fact, Li Shimin has been paying attention to the development of the situation. Maybe his grasp is not so accurate, but he is aware of every step Li Xiang takes, and he is silently calculating in his heart to see how much ability this grandson has. As long as he If it is not beyond his control, what future can a child who does not get into trouble have if he is allowed to do whatever he wants?
"Father, please tell me something. This boy dares to do anything. Now he even dares to kill foreign princes..."
Li Tai and Li Zhi have been here for a long time to file a lawsuit against Li Xiang, but Li Shimin has remained silent. No matter how Li Tai comes up with some tricks, Li Shimin still has the same expression.
Li Zhi has already winked at this second brother several times. You just need to say it once. Since the father is unwilling to speak, it means that the father has something in mind. If something bad happens, the two of us will do it today. Not having a good time.
It's a pity that Li Tai can't listen at all now. He thinks that the emperor must punish Li Xiang for doing such a fatal thing, so he must add fuel to the fire now and trample this kid under his feet in one fell swoop. Don't let him have a chance to turn over.
Li Shimin had no expression on his face, but in his heart he was extremely disappointed with King Li Tai of Wei. He originally liked this boy the most, but since Li Xiang's rise, he didn't like his second son no matter how he looked at it. He had no overall perspective at all. All he thought about every day was Infighting, if the Tang Dynasty was handed over to such a thing, then my early years of struggle would have been in vain.
"Reporting to the emperor, the emperor's eldest grandson Li Xiang is asking for an audience outside the palace."
When Wang De said this, Li Tai quickly shut his mouth and showed excitement on his face. Let's see what you say later. You have caused such a big trouble and the whole Chang'an City will know about it. .
"The emperor has a decree, and the emperor's eldest grandson comes to the palace."
Seeing Li Shimin nodding, Wang De quickly shouted loudly. The young eunuchs also repeated this sentence, and Li Xiang came slowly from a distance.
"Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
When Li Xiang knelt down, he saw that there were no outsiders here. Except for Li Shimin sitting in the middle, there were his four sons on both sides. Except for the prince Li Chengqian, the other sons were basically here, and the rest Those should have little status in the court.
"You have finished your work this evening. If not, do I have to wait for you for a while?"
Li Shimin's words were full of displeasure, and Wei King Li Tai immediately had a smile on his face, but Jin King Li Zhi didn't think so. If Li Xiang had done such a thing last night according to normal rules, the emperor would have sent someone to Now that he's been arrested, can he still wait for him to come on his own?
"What did your grandfather say? My grandson heard that several uncles were coming to my grandfather's place. He thought there must be something important, so he didn't dare to come. Now he thought that the conversation would be over, so he hurried over. .”
Obedient and listening to the sound, Li Xiang knew as soon as he heard that Li Shimin was not really angry. It was normal to think about it. Li Shimin had been dissatisfied with Tuyuhun for a long time. The reason why he didn't do anything excessive was because his identity was inappropriate. Let's be honest. He is just a 13-year-old child. If he does something wrong, will everyone in the world have trouble with this child? Li Shimin also has room for maneuver.
What's more, Li Xiang is familiar with history. According to the original historical trend, the relationship between Datang and Tuyuhun will soon reach its lowest point. Although the two sides did not fight each other during the Zhenguan period, they were still wary of each other. This is also in line with the trend of the times.
Even if Li Shimin is a little dissatisfied, it is because he is dissatisfied with certain methods, not with the whole thing.
"Then do you know that your uncles are here to please you?"
When Li Shimin said this, several people present were a little nervous. They all came to complain, and they all complained in private. If Li Shimin named them all, then this uncle would have no face. Well, of course one of them stood upright, this was King Wu Li Ke.
"My uncles hold important positions and must be worried about me, Datang, every day. My grandson is still young and cannot understand the painstaking efforts of my uncles. However, on this day, my grandson did feel the love that my uncles have for me... "
Li Xiang naturally knew what these guys were here for. This was not beyond Li Xiang's expectation, but in front of Li Shimin, we can't be like you guys. You are here to earn negative points. We're here to gain favor.
"Oh? Tell me, what help have these uncles of yours given you?"
Li Shimin only knew that Li Xiang had gone to several palaces, but he was not clear about what happened. After all, although his spies could get the news, some details might not be so detailed.
"It's all trivial matters. My grandson was bullied outside and almost lost his life. The uncles were so angry that they sent out all the most powerful men in the house. They must let the grandson find his way back. In this place, I haven’t slept all night, I’m just busy with this thing.”
Li Xiang knew what Li Shimin wanted. Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, family ties have become weaker and weaker. Even family members speak with a straight face, and all kinds of etiquette make people feel uncomfortable, so when Li Xiang speaks Try to speak as plainly as possible, so that Li Shimin can feel a little family warmth. This is what Cheng Yaojin did with the hob meat, and it seems to have achieved quite a lot of results now.
"Haha, I didn't expect these uncles of yours to be so conscientious. They just sent people to others and then came back to report to me. Isn't this a bit unbecoming of an uncle?"
Li Shimin sneered and said, he didn't know there was such a layer in between. Don't be afraid of duplicity. As long as you face others, you can be as cunning as you want. After all, as a member of the Tang royal family, if you are a nerd, this big Tang's empire was also unstable.
But what Li Shimin wants is that you treat others, not your own people. If you are double-dealing with your own nephew, can you still want someone like you in the future?
After the Xuanwumen Incident, what Li Shimin disliked the most was the infighting within the family, but these people were at odds with each other today.
In the eyes of Li Shimin, you guys are all scoundrels. Li Xiang is here to praise you for your merits, but you come to me to complain about others. In comparison, you are really worthy of me. good son...
hehe……
Li Shimin's sneer made several princes shiver.
