Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 27

"Take it for collection..."

Li Zhi's eyebrows twitched.

No matter what, he never thought that Li Shimin called him here just for this!
But then again, his cheap father is indeed a lover of literature.

Chu Suiliang, who was discussing important matters in the imperial study room before, was favored by Li Shimin because of his superb calligraphy and beautiful articles.

In order to collect poems, he was specially called over, Li Shimin is really capable of such a thing.

Li Zhi shook his head helplessly, walked over, picked up the pen and started writing.

On the way of writing his poems, Li Shimin asked calmly while admiring the written words.

"I heard that you had a conflict with a student. You came up with such an ingenious idea under heavy pressure. You came across a good sentence. Can you tell me what happened?"

With Li Zhi's energy-raising skills, he shouldn't be so restless, he should care about with a common man.

For him to write such beautiful verses, it must have sparked a fierce collision and inspired him.

Li Shimin was very curious as to who it was that made Li Zhi pay so much attention to him.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi instantly understood.

really.

The so-called collection is just an excuse, the real purpose is to find out what's going on here.

Li Zhi didn't think there was anything to resist. All parents have this problem, always wanting to feel the pulse of their son.

Hearing Li Shimin's question, he answered honestly: "The other party is a child from a poor family. In terms of literary accomplishment, he should be regarded as a relatively top-notch type. This kid failed to seek an official position. He became angry and ridiculed my son. In a fit of anger, I made a bet with him and drove him away from the capital."

"So, this person has the potential to become a great Confucian?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Zhi nodded and replied, "It's not that he has the potential to become a great Confucian, but that he will definitely become a celebrity of his generation."

Hearing what he said, Li Shimin couldn't help being even more curious: "Then what are you doing driving him away, wouldn't it be better to keep him by your side?"

"This person is bitter and mean, has a violent temper, and doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth. It will be a disaster to stay around sooner or later. It's better to drive him away." Li Zhi said calmly, finished writing the last stroke, and asked Li Shimin with a smile: "Father?" Your Majesty, do you think you are satisfied?"

Nodding thoughtfully, Li Shimin shifted his eyes to the rice paper for a while, and commented: "The poem is good, but the writing is not good. Your writing is not suitable for this song "Jiang Jinjiu". You have to practice hard."

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

You didn't say that before!
He was still slandering in his heart, but he heard Li Shimin ask abruptly: "Is Changle still in good health?"

"It's probably enough."

Li Zhi didn't want to say comforting words, as far as Li Lizhi's physical condition was concerned, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was about to die.

While this is sad, it is also a reality.

It’s okay to lament, but there’s no need to kid yourself.

Hearing this, Li Shimin was silent for two seconds, and sighed: "This child is suffering too. She is a good person, but she is tortured like that by illness. I want to go and see her, but I don't dare to go..."

I was afraid that I couldn't help crying, and I was afraid that Changle, who was already suffering, would be even more sad.

Li Zhi didn't want to talk about such a heavy topic.

This is the reality, no matter how much you sigh, it will not change the result.

He was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Father, my son has passed the age of curly hair, isn't it inappropriate to continue living in the palace?"

"You want to leave the palace to open the mansion?"

Sure enough, as soon as Li Zhigang brought up this topic, Li Shimin's attention was instantly diverted.

Hearing this question, Li Zhi answered bluntly: "It is inevitable to open a mansion. The ministers have already served in the imperial court, so we must cultivate a few useful subordinates."

I just got in touch with Cui Zhiwen today, if there is no accident, Cui Zhiwen should join his sect.

If he continued to live in the palace, it would be difficult to discuss matters with Cui Zhiwen.

Regardless of whether Li Zhi has any ideas about the position of prince, he has to go out of the palace to find a place to start cultivating his own power.

In this regard, Li Shimin didn't think there was anything wrong.

After all, Li Zhi had publicly stated before that he would compete for the crown prince in an open and aboveboard manner.

Keeping him in the palace will only limit his development.

Although Li Shimin has not yet made up his mind, which side should he lean towards.

But he will not set up obstacles for Li Zhi's development, which can be regarded as a reward for honesty.

"If I remember correctly...the royal family has a courtyard in Yongningfang. Xiaojiu, if you really make up your mind, I can give it to you."

Li Zhi shook his head: "It's too far away from the imperial city. I want a mansion near the imperial city. I don't need a big yard. If my father can give me a courtyard with two entrances, I will be satisfied."

At the beginning of the business, where did you pay so much attention?
How long does it take to commute so far to and from get off work every day?

With that time, can't we do more meaningful things?

Li Zhi was not too impressed with the superficial ostentation. He just wanted a place closer to the imperial city, where he could arrange a few subordinates to discuss matters.

"Are you sure you don't need a courtyard?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.

That is the facade of the royal family. As a direct prince, how can he do without a courtyard?
Are you not afraid of being looked down upon?

"I don't need short-sighted subordinates!"

"The person that Erchen wants, he doesn't care whether the place where Erchen lives is gorgeous enough!"

"And I don't want people who care about appearances, so I use a yard to set up a threshold... Does this seem like a good idea?"

As Li Zhi was talking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that living in a relatively ordinary place seemed to be able to screen out some people.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it would be a good idea to find an ordinary place nearby.

Li Shimin saw that Li Zhi's thinking was very clear, so he didn't continue to persevere.

He thought for a while, and said: "Then you can go to Yongxingfang. A few days ago, a minister left the capital to serve as the local governor, and set aside a courtyard."

"Okay, then thank you, Father!"

After getting what he wanted, Li Zhi was a little excited.

However, he did not bid farewell, but continued to look at his father.

Li Shimin felt a little surprised, and asked suspiciously: "Do you have other things?"

"Eh..." Li Zhi scratched his head in embarrassment, and said in a tangled manner: "Then what... Erchen and Xiaosi have lived together since childhood, and you also know that Xiaosi's health has always been poor and her personality is very sensitive. Erchen is afraid Leaving the palace rashly will have a bad influence on her, so..."

"So you want to take her away too?" Li Shimin's eyes widened in disbelief, and he angrily said, "Nonsense!"

When the prince leaves the palace, how can there be any reason to take the princess with him? !
