Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"But why haven't I heard that you quoted scriptures to argue with Li Qiu?"

"Where did you put all the scriptures and history you studied hard in the past?"

Being questioned by Li Shimin, Li Chengqian naturally felt uncomfortable.

Also quite angry and unconvinced.

Gradually lowered his head, avoiding the majestic gaze cast by Li Shimin.

Seeing him like this, Li Shimin calmed down, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Since you can't figure out the reason."

"Then I will tell you why you are so speechless by Li Qiu!"

"The first one is that Li Qiu is in charge."

"He does things, and his vision of seeing things is far higher than yours."

"What people are talking about is the people of the world, the generals in the army and the affairs of the family and the country."

"what about you?"

"At best, it's just filial piety."

"And it's just you, your own filial piety."

"Also, the King of Peking, Li Qiu, is only one year older than you."

"However, he has too many achievements that can be achieved, even enough to be recorded in the annals of history."

"Whether it is saving the Tang Dynasty from danger several times, beheading the three Turkic khans in a row, cutting grass and roots on the Turkic grassland, and eliminating future troubles forever."

"Or during the three-year drought, we used the power of thirteen states to feed the lives of hundreds of thousands of refugees in the Tang Dynasty."

"It's better to conquer the Liaoxi Corridor and capture Huaiyuan City, the gateway to Liaodong."

"Which of these do you compare to?"

"Even the weapons, armor, tea, and chess made in the Furong Garden, and the two academies opened, the Datang Library."

"Even such a small thing, you can't compare."

"Li Qiu has made great achievements, and has great prestige among the people and the army, so he has enough confidence to speak."

"On the other hand, you, as the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, are the crown prince of my Tang Dynasty."

"Look at yourself, have you had any decent results over the years?"

After learning what happened this morning, Li Shimin was really angry.

Although there is anger towards Li Chengqian in it, it is more worried about the huge disparity between these children.

So the words of reprimand that came out were quite severe.

There is a sense of hating iron but not steel.

Compared with Li Qiu, what Li Chengqian did before is simply insignificant.

Not even worth mentioning.

Hearing Li Shimin's reprimand, Li Chengqian was not convinced.

There is a great grievance.

"Father."

"This King of Peiping is indeed young, but he has made great achievements."

"Even if it is in the history books, it is difficult to find a few."

"But Erchen is the son of the emperor, the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty."

"Father, you can't let your minister Wu Neng be comparable to Captain Chi Jingde and Li Jing, and Wen Neng to be comparable to Fang Xuanling?"

"Furthermore, didn't the father always teach his sons and ministers that as a monarch, he doesn't necessarily have to be proficient in everything."

"As long as you can be clear about yourself, distinguish right from wrong, and know people, can you employ them?"

Chapter 735 Is this King of Peking the illegitimate son of the emperor and empress?

Listening to Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin's eyes were full of anger.

"Since I came to the throne, I have been thinking about the policy of governing the country day and night."

"Suppress yourself everywhere, accept advice with an open mind."

"But even so, I dare not say your big words."

"Both still make a lot of mistakes."

"And you, who have never done anything serious and never experienced anything, how dare you speak such lies?!"

"If the world is really in your hands in the future, what will you do to reassure me?"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin was really angry.

Then he flicked his sleeves with a sullen face and said, "Forget it, you can go back to the palace."

"From now on, you have to redouble your efforts to study."

"At least the talents and knowledge that a prince and prince should have must be brought out."

"Don't let me down again."

……

After a harsh training session.

Li Chengqian also returned to the East Palace full of anger.

Seeing him like this, everyone around them held their breath and concentrated, not daring to breathe;

Not to mention asking His Royal Highness what happened.

Of course, this kind of cautiousness does not exist for Yixin.

While helping Li Chengqian change his clothes, Yixin asked gently.

"Your Highness, why did you suddenly become so unhappy when you entered the palace today?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian angrily threw the clothes in his hand on the table.

"Humph!"

"This king really can't figure it out."

"He is the king of Beiping, a courtier of my Tang Dynasty, who was so rude to me in the morning."

"In the afternoon, Father unexpectedly reprimanded me for no reason."

"What are you talking about, neither martial arts nor martial arts can compare with that Li Qiu."

"It really makes no sense!"

"I don't know if I'm his son or Li Qiu is his son?!"

"Not only the father, but sometimes the queen mother is also like that."

"To Li Qiu and the Furong Garden, they dote on Li Qiu and the East Palace more than I do."

"At the beginning, my wet nurse, Mrs. Sui'an, asked the empress to add things and utensils to the East Palace, but the empress refused."

"But look at the Furong Garden. When Princess Beiping was pregnant, the queen mother sent the rare medicinal materials in the treasury to the Furong Garden without any money."

"I'm afraid this kind of preferential treatment was never given to the Crown Princess back then, right?"

Just when Li Chengqian subconsciously vented his repressed anger towards Li Qiu, the satisfaction on the side seemed to be struck by lightning for an instant.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

At that moment, Xingxin inexplicably felt that he seemed to have caught some very important information.

If this information or secret is true, then this Tang, everything he planned will become too interesting.

"Your Highness, what you said, I really can't believe it."

"You are the eldest son of His Majesty and Your Majesty, the current Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, and the future Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty."

"Even princes such as King Wei, King Wu, and King Jin are far from being able to compare with you, Your Highness."

"The King of Beiping is nothing more than a foreign minister. Even if he has meritorious service, it is nothing more than more rewards."

"How could it be possible to compete with you for favor?"

Seeing that Xinxin didn't believe his words, Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly.

"Look, you won't even believe this kind of thing if you tell it?"

"Actually, it's not just you. If I hadn't seen and heard it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it either."

"But that's what the real thing looks like."

"It's really inexplicable!"

At this time, Xinxin took Li Chengqian's hand with a smile.

"Your Highness, I just have nothing to do today."

"Just let Xinxin talk to you and chat with you."

"Just start talking about the first time the King of Peking appeared in your field of vision, okay?"

Originally, Li Chengqian, who was already in a bad mood, absolutely didn't want to mention anything about the King of Peking.

But helplessly, he was too dependent and pampered, so he frowned and told the truth one by one.

And Xin, sitting beside him, listened carefully.

Although on the surface, Xinxin looks the same as before, without the slightest change.

But in the depths of his heart, he had already set off a stormy sea.

Because he started to smooth it out from the beginning, he discovered more and more a bold guess that he had previously thought of in a blink of an eye.

Looks like it might be true.

Could it be that Li Qiu, the king of Peking, also has the blood of the royal family?

Maybe even the illegitimate son of Emperor Tang and Empress Changsun hidden among the people?

If that's the case...

……

On the other side, Li Qiu efficiently handled government affairs for half a day.

Then he greeted Fang Xuanling and Tang Jian directly.

After taking a whole afternoon off, he hurried to the residence of the samurai Xun.

At this time, the warrior Xun's family had returned to Chang'an.

Luo Kexin, Wu Jue, and the children have all arrived here.

The family enjoyed themselves happily, quite festively.

When he knew that Li Qiu had taken an afternoon off and returned home, the warrior Xun couldn't help frowning.

"Li Qiu, now Your Majesty Hong En has given you such high regard that you have been appointed as the right servant of Shangshu."

"When you are a new official, you don't work hard and handle government affairs diligently, so why do you still have to ask for leave?"

"Even if we return to Chang'an today, this is a big deal."

"Why did you ask for leave on purpose?"

"You know, Shangshu Youpushe, that is my prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, what a glorious and honorable identity."

"There are too many people, including me, who will not be able to sit in this position in their entire lives."

"But you, why don't you cherish it so much!"

Listening to what the warrior Xun said, Li Qiu kept smiling.

"You, your mother, and your two elder brothers only come back once a year."

"I must come back early."
