Chapter 423 Break up
Li Shimin opened his mouth, but it made the atmosphere on the field much colder.

I saw a few people all frowning, not saying a word.

Li Chengqian even sighed softly.

"Father, let's not talk about what has happened in the past. I just want to be a leisurely prince when I come back this time, and I am relieved to be the prince."

Li Shimin smiled bitterly, and he understood Li Chengqian's intentions. However, even if Li Min was not told to him about the new crown prince, Li Tai and others still had to give an explanation.

"Chengqian, today is a family banquet, so let's talk behind closed doors."

Li Shimin was straightforward, and told Li Yin the things that are now popular among the people.

Immediately afterwards, his face became sad, and he looked at Li Chengqian very sadly.

But he gave the words to Empress Changsun to listen.

"You offended many people in those days, and the things you did were unforgivable. The courtiers asked me to take your head."

"If I let you stay in the position of the prince any longer, it would appear that I don't know right from wrong and act as a master, so I can only make some concessions to keep you safe."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the faces of several people present were all moved, and it was only at this moment that they could understand his good intentions.

Li Chengqian stood up and bowed his hands in greeting.

"I know all these things." After he said this, Li Tai was not happy anymore.

"Father, Brother Huang didn't fight because he was kind-hearted and didn't want to ruin the relationship between brothers, but we can't just let things go like this."

Li Tai's next words made Li Shimin's expression sink.

"Since ancient times, the position of crown prince has been established by the emperor. If the emperor's brother is gone, I will still be there!"

After he finished speaking, Empress Changsun's face suddenly changed, but she looked at him anxiously.

"What nonsense, how can the emperor arrange it so that you can criticize it arbitrarily!"

Li Shimin laughed, telling Empress Changsun not to worry.

"Tai'er, my father knows that you are self-motivated and doesn't want to be just an idle prince, but you should ask yourself, compared to martial arts, how can you compare with Mo'er?"

Li Shimin's tone was heavy, but he wanted to use this family banquet to explain things.

"Tai'er, I am not only the heaven of this family, but also the heaven of the people of Kyushu. Who will be the crown prince is a matter of great importance to the common people!"

Li Tai froze on the spot, unable to say a word.

In terms of Wenzhi and Wugong, Li Yin can be said to be outstanding among many princes, and no one can surpass him.

Li Tai knew very well in his heart that he was no exception, but he still looked unwilling.

Seeing this scene, Empress Changsun knew that she could no longer remain silent, she had to stand up and mediate.

"Your Majesty, calm down. Tai'er is too young to understand the truth of this. I hope His Majesty can understand."

After saying that, Queen Changsun quickly winked at Li Lizhi and asked her to go over to Li Tai and have a good explanation.

This relaxed the atmosphere on the court, and Queen Changsun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But knowing that if Li Shimin was offended by the issue of establishing a reserve, even his own son would not be enough for him to cut, and Li Shimin paid special attention to matters related to the common people in the world.

Li Shimin sighed unceasingly, so he didn't say any more, and he couldn't change the taste of the originally very harmonious family banquet.

"Hurry up and eat the vegetables, it will be cold in a while, don't call me petty when you go back hungry."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, several people laughed out loud and moved their chopsticks one after another.

It was Xiao Si who was the most active, almost tasting all the dishes on the table, which made Li Shimin laugh.

"If you are all like little Sizi, I will live another 20 years."

Li Shimin joked about himself, and Empress Changsun also echoed her, but she saw a trace of worry in her eyes.

After thinking about it, I said it.

"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that the position of the crown prince has been decided, and the hearts of the people in the world will also settle down. Can Chengqian and Tai'er be assisted together?"

"After all, they are brothers and sisters. It's better to talk about it than outsiders."

Empress Changsun still wanted to fight for her two sons. As long as Li Shimin nodded, it would be equivalent to giving them the right to participate in political affairs.

If Li Min didn't do well enough then, the opportunity for the two of them would come. Li Shimin frowned and couldn't make a decision for a while.

Empress Changsun was not in a hurry. While serving rice to Li Shimin, she winked at Li Tai.

The latter immediately understood, greeted him with a smile, and looked straight at Li Shimin.

"Father, I just said something wrong, and now I have figured it out. My sixth brother is more suitable for that position than me."

"I also ask my father to trust my son, and I will definitely assist the sixth younger brother in the future, and don't fight against him again."

After Li Tai finished speaking, Li Shimin's mind immediately relaxed, and he nodded in agreement.

"Since this is the case, according to what the queen said, the confinement around you has been lifted, and you will walk more with the prince in the future."

"Chengqian, you have a special status. During this period of time, you will rest in the mansion first, and I will arrange for you when the emperor finds an opportunity in the future."

The two thanked each other, and Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, and asked the imperial dining room to cook a few more dishes.

After talking and laughing, Li Chengqian was full of wine and food, so he wanted to leave first.

Li Shimin didn't force him to stay, he wanted someone to send him back, but Li Chengqian politely declined.

"Father, if you can do it yourself, I won't spoil your interest. You and the concubine mother just took this opportunity to have a good talk."

Li Shimin waved his hand and agreed immediately.

But seeing how reluctant Xiao Si was, she grabbed Li Chengqian's hand and refused to let him go.

It was only after some persuasion by several people that she agreed to Li Chengqian's departure.

Not long after Li Chengqian left, Li Tai also put down his chopsticks and walked up to Li Shimin.

"Father, my son has gone back first, and tomorrow I have to go to the hunting ground to ride and shoot, so I can't drink too much."

Li Shimin sighed, and his face sank immediately.

"They all left one by one, what kind of family feast, they're gone!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and left directly, which made Empress Changsun unhappy, and gave Li Tai a hard look.

But Li Tai didn't care so much, he could only confess to her and leave in a hurry.

He chased after Li Chengqian in the direction where he was walking away.

At this time, Li Chengqian's face was as usual, and he was no longer drunk.

But he just found an excuse to leave because he didn't want to see Li Tai's face there, but how did he know that Li Tai was also following closely.

His face turned gloomy and there was a look of disgust in his eyes.

"How did you come?"

Li Chengqian didn't welcome Li Tai's appearance at all, but he didn't mind at all, and kept posting up.

"Brother Huang, no matter how you say it, it's been a long time since I saw you, so why make it like this."

Li Tai said jokingly.
