Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

While the false rebellious son, His Majesty Li Er, was still worrying about the turbulent Tang Empire in the Taiji Palace, the real rebellious son, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, had successfully coaxed him out. In recent days, he has been in a bad mood. The Supreme Emperor.

"Kuan'er." In the square outside Hongyi Palace, Li Yuan watched his grandson pull out the arrow from the stone lion's eye. He couldn't help but sigh: "Tell me, is the emperor's grandfather really old? "

"Ah?" Li Kuan looked at the arrow in his hand, and then looked at Li Yuan who said this: "Grandfather, at your level, you can be called a warrior right away on the battlefield, why are you so old? Woolen cloth?"

"Hahaha..." Li Yuan listened to his grandson's compliments and burst out laughing irreverently: "Shu Zi! You only know how to pick up some nice words to say, how can you make your grandfather happy? Do you have any money?"

"That's not true." Faced with his grandfather's teasing, Li Kuan replied seriously: "It's just that, grandfather, I like to tell the truth."

"Ha..." Li Yuan just smiled when he heard this. He understood that the little bastard was afraid that he would break his promise and refused to take the blame for breaking the crossbow for him.

The Supreme Emperor, who saw through it but refused to tell it, said somewhat noncommittally: "I don't know how many 'truths' I have heard from you, Grandfather. There are some truths that make my ears go numb! But Kuan'er, Grandfather wants to hear it again today." Can you tell the truth for once?"

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he didn't wait for Li Kuan's reaction. He looked at his grandson who was just playing with the arrows in his hands and said seriously: "Kuan'er, you said that the emperor's grandfather abdicated the throne and left Pei Ji as the prime minister. Is that true? wrong?"

"——This question..." Li Kuan, who knew he could not avoid it, threw away the arrow after being silent for a while, looked up at Li Yuan and said, "Grandfather, you know that I have become enemies with Pei Ji. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for you to expect to hear a few good words about Pei Ji from me."

"But what the emperor is asking you now is about making Pei Ji the prime minister." Li Yuan stared at his grandson for a moment. For some reason, he felt a little uneasy at this time.

"Emperor Grandfather, this question actually has nothing to do with right or wrong, but only a matter of position." Knowing that Li Yuan wanted to hear the truth, Li Kuan simply made it clear: "In my grandson's opinion, Grandpa, you were heartbroken and wanted to stay." It's human nature for Pei Ji, a troublemaker like him, to cause trouble for his father.

However, you are also the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. In the future, when the memorial tablet is placed in the ancestral temple, every successive emperor of the Tang Dynasty will have to offer incense to you when paying homage to your ancestors during festivals and festivals.

That being the case, do you think it is appropriate for you, as the founder of the country, to let a prime minister who does nothing to lead the government in order to be angry with your son? "Li Kuan's words were very tactful, but Li Yuan seemed to be unable to accept such tact.

"So, His Highness the King of Chu thinks that I am wrong?" At this time, Li Yuan's face had completely turned gloomy. His voice was not only angry, but also sad: "In that case, I will go and apologize to your father!"

"Grandpa... look at you..." Li Kuan couldn't bear the little old man in front of him showing his temper: "The question is what you want to ask, and before you ask it, you have to ask your grandson to tell the truth.

So what can I do?

If you don't tell the truth, you are cheating. If you tell the truth, you don't like to hear it.

The worst thing is that in the end, I still have to coax you. Grandpa, I am just a child. It is inappropriate for you to embarrass me like this! "

"I'm sorry you used to coax me, right?" Li Yuan's chest was heaving violently at this moment, his breath was a little disordered, and his speech became incoherent: "Okay, you are a jerk...you are a jerk...ok Wow……"

"Alas...my imperial grandfather!" Li Kuan was really convinced. He not only admired the aging Li Yuan's temperament that was more sensitive and changeable than the young girls in his boudoir, but also admired his previous innocence that should never have been born. Nature: What’s wrong with the old man?

Why do you have to tell the truth and make trouble for yourself?

But in the end, you still have to find a way to solve the trouble you caused.

"Imperial Grandfather," the well-educated Li Kuan had already made a mental draft in his mind before speaking this time: "My grandson will not talk too much to you, but I only want to ask you one question. Tang Dynasty has to finish playing, and my Li family is no longer a royal family. What do you think will happen to my Li family?

Return to the team of Five Surnames and Seven Hopes?

Do not make jokes!

Do you think this is realistic?

Yes, our Longyou Li family was originally one of the five surnames and Qiwang, but now we have conquered the world and become a royal family.

In this process, we have eliminated many enemies and secretly established many enemies. No one knows better than you and my father.

Therefore, if our Li family is in decline now, it is not a matter of moving up a level and retreating a level. If we are not careful, we will be doomed! "After Li Kuan said this, when he looked at Li Yuan again, he found that the old man had fallen into silence.

In this regard, Li Kuan did not intend to let it go, and continued to pursue the victory: "In fact, my grandson has had an opinion on Pei Ji for a long time, but this opinion has nothing to do with the previous valid reasons and crowning principles.

Just because my grandmother didn't like Pei Ji, I had a reason to hate him.

But this is only limited to my personal dislike of him. As you can see: I will be disrespectful to him in public and make fun of him in private.

But I will never attack him just because of this simple dislike.

This is just like how I hate Wei Zheng now: I can antagonize him because of personal grudges, but I will definitely not think about how to kill him.

——Because he is a good minister of my father, and his existence is beneficial to the entire Tang Dynasty.

And what about Pei Ji? Is he beneficial to the entire Tang Dynasty?

I think Grandpa, you have an answer in your mind. "After Li Kuan said this, he only paused briefly before continuing: "Of course, speaking from my heart, for the sake of your grandfather, I just hope that Pei Ji can recognize the situation as soon as possible and take advantage of the rising turmoil. , he can choose to retreat bravely early.

Otherwise, the grandson doesn't have to do anything and just watch quietly until Pei Ji's miserable end. "

Perhaps Li Kuan's words were too radical and touched the darkest emotions in Li Yuan's heart. Li Yuan, who was originally calm, seemed to have suddenly suffered a huge blow.

"Why..." Li Yuan looked at his grandson sadly and said in disappointment: "Kuan'er, don't you even want your grandfather?"

"I said the emperor's grandfather..." Li Kuan was a little crazy listening to these sensational words - he found that he couldn't keep up with the emperor's grandfather's thoughts: "Can you first restore your former wiseness and martial prowess? After asking what my grandson wanted to say before, let’s see what you are saying now.”

Li Kuan didn't understand. He spoke so heartfeltly, why did this little old man only show sentimentality?

He had analyzed the stakes so thoroughly, so why did the imperial grandfather still look like he didn't understand?

"Kuan'er," Li Yuan's voice was a little hoarse at this time: "Pei Ji and I have been friends since childhood. He is not a real brother to me, but better than a real brother.

Now, he has made a mistake, and everyone in the world can criticize him, but how can the emperor do the same? "

Listening to his grandfather's heartfelt words, Li Kuan fell silent at this time.

Indecision can be said to be a character flaw that runs through the other person's life.

Why should I force myself to do so?
