Daily life of cat villains

The first thing Li Shimin saw after waking up was the screen in front of the bed.

This screen was placed in the second year of Zhenguan, and it has been 12 years.Its appearance is no different from ordinary screens, but it is quite different.Its material is not particularly expensive, and the screen is full of words, all written by Li Shimin himself.

The words on the screen are not romantic poems, nor are they governing the country, but the actions of county magistrates, governors, and governors in various places. Whether good or bad, they are all recorded on the screen as the basis for promotion or relegation.

Li Shimin reached out and touched the screen, feeling proud.Which emperor can be as strict with himself as he is, and be as careful as the beginning?Even if Li Jiancheng really became the emperor, he may not be as good as him.

The maid came to help him wash and change his clothes, Li Shimin asked, "What is the prince doing today?"

The Taiji Hall is very close to the East Palace. In the past, Li Yuan lived in the Taiji Hall. In order to meet Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji conveniently, the three palaces were connected.After Li Shimin became emperor, he moved to Taiji Hall after a few years. The first thing he did after he moved in was to block the original back door.

Even if there is no shortcut, the two palaces are next to each other, and the prince can't hide what he has done.

Tian Cong hurriedly said: "Return to Your Majesty, the crown prince just called Luanjia out of the palace, saying that he wanted to walk around to see the people's livelihood, and left the palace from Xuanfu Gate."

Li Shimin knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it.

If these words were applied to Cheng Qian, it would be more or less the same, but it would not necessarily be the case.

"Have you sent someone to follow?"

It seems that His Majesty is not angry with the Prince.Tian Cong breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not played petty temper this time, and there are quite a few guards with guards of honor, so there will be no trouble."

Li Shimin signaled that he knew, and asked Tian Cong to report when Xu Zhe came back.Then he went to the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace to familiarize himself with government affairs, and received a few courtiers who came to complain to the crown prince.

Zhang Xuansu was the first to bear the brunt of it, and said something about the prince.Li Shimin also knew that if Li Chengqian was the crown prince yesterday, what he did would be out of line and out of order.But it is very likely that he is not Cheng Qian, but his elder brother, Li Shimin thinks it is normal.

You can't tell Zhang Xuansu about this kind of thing, you can only appease this loyal old minister first, and promise to talk to the prince later, finally coaxing Zhang Xuansu.

After seeing off Zhang Xuansu, Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief, and came back with a cinnabar pen to continue reviewing the memorial. After a quarter of an hour, Kong Yingda came again.

Kong Yingda was even more resentful than Zhang Xuansu, because what Zhang Xuansu reported was yesterday's situation, and Kong Yingda had double the dissatisfaction of yesterday and today in his heart.

"The prince contradicted His Majesty yesterday, and today he took the musicians out of the palace to play, as if he didn't take His Majesty's reprimand to heart! The prince is getting older, if he doesn't strictly discipline him, what should he do in the future!"

Kong Yingda is the 31st grandson of Confucius, who attaches great importance to ethics and etiquette.He is 67 years old this year, and he has studied the classics all his life. He is honored to be valued by the emperor and takes on the important task of teaching the prince. Naturally, he should do his best.

He has been teaching the prince since the seventh year of Wude, and it has been 17 years now. It can be said that he has watched the prince grow up since he was a child.If it is said that the crown prince learns badly, who is the most sad, besides His Majesty, Kong Yingda is the one.

"I don't know what Mr. said." Li Shimin sighed, exhausted like never before.

Obviously his Chengqian is very well-behaved, although he occasionally loses his temper, he has never favored actors, and most of the time he goes out for a run when he is in a bad mood.But even so, Chengqian failed to inherit his seat in the end.

His health is too bad, the crown prince's position is shaken, and the other princes are eyeing him.

The second child was adopted out a few years ago, and the remaining third child Li Ke and fourth child Li Tai are both capable and talented.Qing Que is the first son, if Gao Ming can't be the prince, Li Shimin will consider him first, but Qing Que and Gao Ming are unknowingly opposed, just like he and the original Prince Jiancheng.If Qingque ascended the throne, there would be no room for Gao Ming.

In the end, Li Shimin chose Li Zhi, the nine sons who are tolerant and loving.

Facing Kong Yingda's grief, Li Shimin could not tell the true identity of the prince.He had already given up Chengqian once, and it would not be too difficult to do it again.

The abolition of the crown prince is related to the foundation of the country, and he is not the only one who has the final say. Li Shimin did not reveal his words for the time being, but said: "Gao Ming is not in good health these days, and I am afraid that he will be pushed too hard. Call him first. Go outside for a walk, and when he comes back, I will announce him into the palace immediately."

Kong Yingda bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty understands righteousness, I only hope that the crown prince will know about your painstaking efforts and sincerely correct your mistakes, and the veteran will die without regret."

"Sir, you are serious." Li Shimin quickly helped him up.

Kong Yingda said: "The old minister has already said what should be said, so I don't want to disturb His Majesty, Rong Chen will leave."

Li Shimin was about to see him off, but before Kong Yingda left the Zichen Hall, he saw a servant outside winking at Tian Cong who was serving on the side.

Tian Cong scolded him in his heart, looked carefully at Li Shimin, and found that he couldn't pretend that he didn't see it, even Kong Yingda noticed him.

"I send you off, sir." Li Shimin didn't plan to pursue it for the time being, and sent Kong Yingda away first.

Kong Yingda didn't mind her own business, and was sent away by Li Shimin to leave the Zichen Palace and walked all the way to the Zichen Gate.Tian Cong also followed behind, and the winking little eunuch also realized that he appeared at the wrong time, so he stood guard in front of Zichen Hall and did not dare to move.

When Li Shimin came back, the little eunuch trembled when he glanced at him.

Tian Cong didn't have a good relationship with him either. He felt that this person would not come over, and he would not have any personal matters related to him, so he said frankly: "What are you afraid of? If you have something to say, can your majesty still eat you?"

"Yes!" The little eunuch said: "It's His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, he first went to Yongle Fang, had breakfast and walked on the street, and then, took people to Xianling."

There was silence in the palace, and none of the palace people dared to speak.

Xianling is the mausoleum of Emperor Gaozu.Gaozu lived a long life and passed away in the ninth year of Zhenguan, only five years ago.

Is the prince going to present the mausoleum to pay homage to the late emperor?

To put it more bluntly, did he deliberately go to the first emperor to express his dissatisfaction with the present?

Everyone in the world knew that the late emperor favored Xi Wang and Chao Wang, and His Majesty was not close to the late emperor, nor was the crown prince and the late emperor.It was very abrupt for the crown prince to go to present the mausoleum suddenly, even if he was arranged to say that he believed that His Majesty was brotherly and unfilial, and that he went to the mausoleum of the former emperor, it was justified.

Li Shimin saw that the servants were so scared, and immediately understood what they were afraid of.

But that was not his own son, but his elder brother, the Xi Wang who was favored by the former emperor, and Li Jiancheng who was named the hidden prince by him two years later.

It is normal for Li Jiancheng to pay homage to his father.

Li Shimin said helplessly, "When the prince comes back, remember to remind me to let Wei Zheng come over."

The palace people passed on the news, the guards, the guards, what to do, and Li Shimin was left alone in his seat to meditate silently.

The mausoleums were built many years in advance, and the corpses were closed after burial, so as not to be stolen by tomb robbers.Xu Zhe had the memory of Li Chengqian, so he naturally knew that Li Yuan's tomb was built here.There are also trustworthy confidants who participated in the construction of the mausoleum and were not buried with them, so they know about it.

Li Yuanji bowed down with him, beside the empty field.

The flowers and fruits bought by Yongle Fang are placed on the ground, and a jug of wine is used to water the land.The two brothers were silent for a long time, feeling a little depressed.

In the end, it was Li Yuanji who woke up suddenly when he noticed that the guards were looking at him strangely.

This group of people thought he was Xin Xin. The crown prince just said this morning that he should serve Xin Xin as wholeheartedly as he was serving him. They brought Xin Xin to worship the imperial mausoleum in the afternoon!Although it is not the parents who worship, but the grandfather who is separated by a generation.

Damn you!Is this a mutual confession of heartfelt feelings? !

Li Yuanji was about to go crazy after he figured it out, he felt that he would have no face to face people anymore.

"Your Highness." Li Yuanji looked hopeless, "It's getting late, let's go back."

Xu Zhe looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, then at Li Yuanji, thoughtfully not revealing, and smiled, "Okay."

With Li Yuanji by his side, he didn't need others to be close to him. He Yinqin thought he was the most familiar with his elder brother, so Yinqin took over the responsibility of taking care of him, asked the guards to lift the curtain of the car, and helped him into the car.

Just as Xu Zhe moved, a small black thing suddenly jumped over.The guards were startled, and drew out their knives for fear of being attacked. After a closer look, they found that it was a black and yellow tortoiseshell cat.

I don't know if it's a messy fur or rubbed against the dirt, but the cat looks dirty, with only a pair of golden eyes staring straight at Xu Zhe.During the day, when the light was strong, the cat's pupils stood up, and the eyes did not blink, which made the guards even more nervous.

Xu Zhe said: "It's fate to meet you here."

Yuan Ji thought, isn't it fate?

Their father was buried here, and it was a desolate place with not many trees around. They didn't know where the cat was hiding, but it jumped out suddenly.The wild-looking little guy actually got close to the prince. It seemed that he was relying on them and wanted to follow them.

Diverting my thoughts again, I thought of my father who was buried here.

Both he and his elder brother can be resurrected inexplicably, maybe there is really reincarnation?

Li Yuanji took a step forward, and the cat didn't hide, looking at him quietly.He slowly stretched out his hand, signaling that he was harmless, and approached the kitten little by little, only to be slapped by the cat.

"Are you okay?" Xu Zhe asked.

"It's okay, it's holding its nails." Li Yuanji withdrew his hand and looked at it. He really didn't feel any pain, and didn't leave any marks. He couldn't help laughing, "It's quite sensible."

Xu Zhe said, "Leave it alone, let's go."

Li Yuanji helped Xu Zhi get into the car, and just as he sat down, he heard the kitten meowing, but he didn't expect it to meow quite nicely despite its ugly appearance.

"Your Highness, that cat has jumped up, do you want to chase it away?" the guard driving outside said suddenly.

Li Yuanji lifted the curtain and took a look, and he really said, "Since you're catching up, don't chase him away, it's pitiful."

As he spoke, he reached out to catch the cat, but was slapped again.The cat looked at him with disgust, quickly jumped into the carriage, and ran to Xu Zhe's side.

"You bastard! You don't know good people!" Li Yuanji said.

"Indeed." Xu Zhe lifted the cat by the back of its neck and threw it onto Li Yuanji's lap, "You keep it, you raise it."

"I would like to, but it just ran to the eldest brother. Let the eldest brother raise it with me." After Li Yuanji finished speaking, he suddenly thought of the outside world's speculation about the two of them, and his goosebumps rose again, "Forget it, let's stay away Some, I will raise them myself."

Xu Zhe could more or less guess what he was thinking, and comforted him: "It's not that you are wronged on purpose. You have to understand that Li Shimin is guilty, and it is a good thing that he is willing to tolerate compensation. , you can only use killing intent.”

"I know that it's the same reason for Shengmi to fight against Michou." Li Yuanji pinched the back of the kitten's neck and played with its paws.

After a while, he realized, "What did Li Shimin do to me?!"
