Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 155 Li Shimin Taught Li Ke

"Yes." Li Chengqian replied, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

Because he could see that the praise in Li Shimin's eyes was different from the usual perfunctory, this time it must be from the heart.

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, then glanced at the pile of memorials on the table, took out a few at random, waved his hand to Li Chengqian and said: "Chengqian, take these back and try to approve them. Take them after you finish them." Come and show me."

Li Chengqian's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and then he immediately cupped his hands to Li Shimin, "Father, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

After saying this, Li Chengqian took the memorial and his eyes were full of joy.

These are different from Li Shimin's previous trivial memorials, which were all written by ministers above the fifth rank of the imperial court, and they are related to the life and death of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's actions fully demonstrated how much he valued Li Chengqian, so Li Chengqian was overjoyed for a moment.

"Be sure to read and review. If you don't understand, feel free to ask me." Li Shimin nodded, then waved slightly and said, "You go back first, I'm going to get busy."

"Yes, my son is resigning." Li Chengqian nodded, and then returned home with the memorial.

As soon as Li Chengqian left the imperial study, he saw Li Ke, the king of Shu, who came to visit.

"Emperor brother also came to visit father?"

Li Ke smiled when he saw Li Chengqian, with a smirk that didn't reach his eyes.

He has always looked down on Li Chengqian, a weak and incompetent prince.

"No, it was my father who asked me to come here." Li Chengqian shook his head.

Perhaps it was because of Li Shimin's praise just now, he actually liked the younger brother who had always been the most hated a lot.

Li Ke frowned when he heard the words. After all, Li Shimin would not take the initiative to summon them if he had nothing to do.

Just as he was thinking this, his eyes fell on the memorial in Li Chengqian's arms.

"This is..." The crease between Li Ke's eyebrows deepened a little.

"This is the memorial my father just handed over to me." Li Chengqian smiled deeper, and then said: "I have a lot of things to do now, so I won't accompany my brother to greet you, and I'll go back first."

After saying that, Li Chengqian thought for a while and kindly reminded him: "By the way, my father is busy now, and he is not in a good mood these days due to Turks and border affairs. If you don't have anything important, don't bother him."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian turned around and left without waiting for Li Ke to answer.

Li Ke looked at Li Chengqian's back and his fists under his long sleeves tightened a little more, with a bit of hatred in his eyes.

In his opinion, what Li Chengqian said just now must have tasted the sweetness from Li Shimin, so he didn't want him to go in now to get a share of the pie.

Thinking of this, Li Ke took a deep breath, adjusted his facial expressions and stepped forward.

After getting Li Shimin's permission, he entered the imperial study room.

"My son kowtowed to my father."

Li Shimin raised his eyes and glanced at Li Ke, then nodded and said: "Get up."

"Thank you, Father."

Li Ke stood up, then glanced at the dried ink on Li Shimin's side, and took the initiative to step forward and said: "Father, I will grind the ink for you."

"En." Li Shimin responded lightly, then raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you doing here now?"

"My son is fine, of course. I just heard that there is a change in the Turks, so I came to see my father." Li Ke smiled and then explained.

Li Shimin's eyes changed a little when he heard the words, and then he snorted coldly and said, "Come and see me, will the mutation on the Turkic side be resolved?"

"Of course not, but..."

Li Ke was about to explain something, but was interrupted by Li Shimin in a cold voice.

"Since no, what are you doing now?"

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and glanced at Li Ke with some dissatisfaction, "Are you so idle?"

Li Ke was shocked when he heard the words, and immediately knelt beside him and said, "I don't mean that, I just want to accompany my father."

"Da Tang is not dead yet, and I am not dead yet, so I don't need you to accompany me now."

If it was normal, even though Li Shimin was very irritable, at least he would feel that his son was filial and would not get angry.

But after the comparison with Li Chengqian just now, Li Shimin's anger could not be controlled immediately.

"Father, my son is wrong."

Li Ke was taken aback by the scolding, and immediately admitted his mistake.

"Then do you know where you went wrong?" Li Shimin frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

"........."

When Li Ke heard the words, he faltered and said: "My son is wrong...the fault is not right..."

"It's my fault that I shouldn't have come to visit me?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows with anger.

"No, I didn't mean that, my son..." Li Ke immediately explained in a panic.

But he was puzzled in his heart, and he didn't even know why Li Shimin was so kind to Li Chengqian just now, and wanted to take such an important memorial to him for approval, but now he treats himself with a different nose and eyes.

"Okay, go back and prepare your homework now, and stop coming here if you have nothing to do." Li Shimin waved his hand impatiently.

Seeing this, Li Ke immediately responded, "Yes, yes, my son will retire now."

After saying that, Li Ke immediately walked away in despair.

After Li Ke left, Li Shimin shook his head and said to the old eunuch behind him: "I really don't know what to say!"

"Your Majesty, the King of Shu is still young, so it's normal for His Highness to be different from the prince." The old eunuch behind him smiled and comforted him softly.

Li Shimin snorted coldly when he heard the words, "Small? When he was planning to compete for favor, he didn't fall behind at all because of his smallness."

After saying that, Li Shimin sighed softly again: "Don't think that I don't know why they are running so hard to me one by one, and they have some crooked thoughts!"

After all, he came from that period, so he was not surprised by these princes' methods of competing for favor and understood it.

But thinking about it now, he was indeed a little too indulgent to these princes.

After all, since he had given Li Chengqian the position of crown prince, others would not even have the right to think about it. It is wrong for his sons to think this way!

At first, he also wanted to share the rain and dew, so that he could make up for the other sons, and he could also spur Li Chengqian, but now it seems that it is not necessary at all.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin waved his hand to the eunuch behind him and said: "Command, from now on, if there is no important matter, no other princes will be allowed to visit without a summons from me and my empress!"

"Yes." The eunuch behind him responded, and then went to do it immediately.

Li Shimin pursed his lips and continued to review the memorial.

However, at this moment, a small eunuch suddenly came to report, "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor wants to see you."

"........."

Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

After all, Datang is in a mess now, and he has no face to face Li Yuan.
