Chapter 262 Princess Marries (3)

Zhaoyang has always regarded Yinping as a sister. He couldn't help but pull her arm and pull her up, "Yinping, get up! Father, Yinping didn't mean to offend you. She did it all for Zhaoyang, father... …”

"That's enough! What do you look like? I won't argue with a slave, but rules are rules. You, a maid, should be sent by Gaode to learn the palace rules again. When you learn it well, when will you serve you again? ." Li Shimin turned around and walked to the side hall, and casually gave Zhaoyang a slap in the face. Yinping could be regarded as Zhaoyang's right-hand man. I'm afraid everyone can see that Zhaoyang has fallen out of favor.

Gao De smiled sarcastically and said, "Girl on the silver screen, please invite me. I'm still in a hurry to serve the emperor, so let Xiao Lizi take you to learn the rules."

Yinping was a little panicked at this moment. She felt like she had to fight against the imperial concubine and the dowager, but the emperor was supreme in her heart and she could not resist. For a moment, she was stunned and didn't know how to react. Zhaoyang looked at Li Shimin's back in disbelief, then looked at the screen, and shouted: "Stop! No one is allowed to touch her!"

Zhaoyang caught up with Li Shimin and shouted: "Father, have you heard any slander? What mistake did Yinping make? She is the most caring confidant around her daughter. How can you transfer her away? Didn't you say let her Are you protecting your daughter? "Father!"

Li Shimin walked into the side hall without saying a word, so no one stopped Princess Zhaoyang and allowed her to follow. Gao De ordered Xiao Lizi to look at the screen and walked quickly into the side hall to stand behind Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took a sip of the tea on the table and said without raising his head: "I thought she was good at skills and loyal to you, so I let her serve you, but now it seems that the maid has If you forget your duty and treat the palace rules as if they are nothing, shouldn't you be punished? "

Zhao Yang frowned and asked: "Father, just because Yin Ping said something wrong? Is it unfair for you to conclude that she doesn't abide by her duties? You have been away from the palace for many days, and my daughter is finally looking forward to your return. I came to ask for an audience but was repeatedly rejected, and Yin Ping also complained about me..."

"Unjust?" Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and looked at her, "Oh? According to what you said, wouldn't your imperial sister, imperial sister, imperial brother, and imperial brother all be unfair? Of course I have just returned to the palace to deal with the backlog of government affairs. Gao Do you think this is a place where you can mess around if De stops you?"

Li Shimin's voice was filled with the majesty of the emperor. Zhaoyang shrank in his heart. Thinking of Yinping, he opened his eyes again and wanted to speak, but Li Shimin didn't wait for her to speak and continued, "Besides, your maid Yinping violated the palace rules." Didn't you remind me how many times Concubine Wei had forgiven her? She took advantage of the opportunity of leaving the palace with you to buy back the pearl hairpin and sell it in the palace, but she was wronged? "

Zhaoyang didn't think there was anything wrong with Yinping at all, and asked in confusion: "Someone said they liked Yinping's hairpin very much and wanted to buy it from her, so Yinping sold it. How can this be called selling? Besides, the maids and eunuchs in the palace Don’t they all do this? Why doesn’t Concubine Wei catch them? Why is she always staring at the screen?”

Li Shimin sneered, "Zhaoyang, what do you think is peddling? Your maid didn't make any profit from it? She said she was doing good for others. Didn't she raise the price when she resold?" He waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, if you are not convinced, copy the palace rules and compare them to see how many mistakes you and your maid have made. Maybe others have also made mistakes, but others have hidden them well and have not been discovered. You are so arrogant in front of me, it seems that I really dote on you lawlessly."

"Father, you still say that you favor me? Do you know that Concubine Wei wants to marry me to Tubo? She has bad intentions! Zhaoyang is waiting for you to return to the palace to make the decision for Zhaoyang, but you scolded me as soon as we met ..." Princess Zhaoyang's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally she started crying.

"The prince has arrived!" the little eunuch outside the door shouted.

Li Shimin turned to Gao De and said, "Go and welcome the prince in, and get ready to have a meal."

Gao De bent over and walked quickly to the door. Li Shimin frowned and looked at Zhaoyang and said: "Okay! In the past, I pampered you, but you don't know how great the world is. The marriages of your other sisters were all arranged by Concubine Wei. You see? Who doesn’t live a harmonious life? You’re the only one who’s troublesome!”

Zhaoyang had been extremely anxious about the marriage in the past few days. He suddenly burst out and shouted eloquently: "How can wimps like them be worthy of being my consort! My consort must be talented and virtuous, and can stabilize the country." , How can you be a weakling? ”

"Bang!" Li Shimin raised his hand and threw the tea cup to the ground. "If you want to be matched with a prince-in-law who can stabilize the country, it depends on whether you have the ability! In your heart, your brother-in-law and brother-in-law are all weaklings. I really I'm so disappointed in you. Go down and be grounded from today on. You'll have to copy the palace rules and you won't be allowed to come out until you finish copying them!" How many years has it been since no one dared to yell at him? Still so unreasonable, at that moment, he almost thought he saw the little swallow, inexplicably!

Li Chengqian had already walked into the side hall. Zhaoyang was unwilling to make trouble again, but was escorted out by two maids who were skilled in martial arts.

Li Chengqian lowered his head and saluted Li Shimin respectfully, showing no joy at all when he saw his father.

Li Shimin had good eyesight and saw that there was sweat on his forehead and he was holding his hands uneasily under his sleeves. He hurriedly called him up and said with a smile: "Chengqian, there is no need to be polite, sit down. You and I have been together for several months." No, let’s have dinner with my father today.”

Li Chengqian didn't know what Li Shimin's purpose was in summoning him. He had seen Zhao Yang, his favorite, punished before, so he thought Li Shimin was in a bad mood and was worried that he would be implicated. Who knew that he actually heard the closeness in Li Shimin's words? .

Chengqian? How long has it been since your father called his name? When did you meet him and didn't you coldly call him Prince?

"Yes, my father. My father has been away from Beijing for many days, and I miss you a lot. Now I see that my father is well, I feel relieved." Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then he responded hurriedly and respectfully, and sat down with Li Shimin. At the table, the meal begins.

Gao De has been following Li Shimin for a long time, and his ability to observe people's emotions is the most powerful. Judging from Li Shimin's instructions and attitude in the past few days, he has already guessed that Zhaoyang is falling out of favor and the prince is favored, so the preparation for the dinner took an extra day. I chose a few of the prince's favorites, and the two father and son thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

After dinner, Li Shimin casually asked about the government affairs in Beijing in the past two months. Li Chengqian always answered cautiously, fearing that any wrong sentence would cause Li Shimin's dissatisfaction.

Seeing his nervous look, Li Shimin shook his head and said with a smile: "You kid, you don't have to be so reserved in front of me. Alas, in the blink of an eye, Chengqian has grown up. I remember when your mother gave birth to you, It’s only a little big, and it’s so innocent and cute.”

Li Chengqian didn't know how to answer the question. He couldn't remember the last time his father was so tender to him.

Li Shimin said again: "Chengqian, Chengqian, do you know what this name means?"

Li Chengqian shook his head. The other brothers' names all had two characters, but he only had three characters. Although he could guess the meaning, it was not appropriate to say it from his mouth at this time.

Li Shimin leaned back on his chair and squinted his eyes as if in reminiscence, "You were born in Chengqian Palace. Chengqian, the name I gave you means to inherit the imperial industry and lead the world."

"I don't dare!" Li Chengqian knelt down instantly. He had been scolded by Li Shimin frequently in the past two years. Suddenly, when he heard the words of inheriting the imperial business, his heart was in turmoil, and he kept thinking whether his subordinates had done anything extraordinary. Implicate him.

Li Shimin leaned forward to hold one of his arms, lifted him up with a strong force, and said seriously: "Chengqian, this country is mine now, and it will be yours from now on. There is nothing to be afraid of, this is what I owe you. Hope!" He glanced at Li Chengqian's right foot, "Your foot disease is not serious. If you walk slowly, no one will notice it. My son does not need to feel inferior about this. He uses his brain. He understands the way of being a king. Even if he is poor at riding and shooting, it does not matter if he is an emperor and does not have to charge into battle. "

Li Chengqian looked at his somewhat unfamiliar father in surprise. If he had wanted to pretend to be confused before, now that Li Shimin had made his words so clear, he seemed cowardly when he didn't answer. He hesitated in his heart, and he was a little hesitant. He said: "My son, I will obey my father's teachings and I will definitely live up to my father's expectations."

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, walked to the desk with a smile, picked up a pen and wrote, "Chengqian, you have to remember that you are my most valued son and the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. No one can replace you. From today on, I I will teach you how to be a king from now on, so there is no need for you and me to be suspicious. When you are able to take charge of this country, my father will personally hand over the imperial seal to you."

Li Chengqian looked at his serious expression and couldn't help but feel a little excited. Nothing would make him happier than his father's approval. He took a few steps forward, stood next to Li Shimin, and watched him write four big words on the paper - be patient and avoid haste.

Li Shimin put down his pen, waited for the ink to dry, and handed the calligraphy to Li Chengqian with a smile, "Chengqian, you have become more and more unstable in the past two years, and you have done a lot of stupid things. If this continues, the minister will How can we respect you? I won’t say anything to you. Whenever you get impatient or angry, read these four words carefully first.”

Li Chengqian respectfully thanked his father, thinking that he should be restrained and there was no need to provoke his father's majesty.

Li Shimin patted his shoulder and sighed: "Chengqian, remember your identity as the prince. As long as you sit firmly in the prince's seat, no one can frame you. Don't be blinded by some ignorant people. People are provoking it. Especially your uncle Changsun Wuji. That old fox is eager to get rid of you and put Zhi'er in power, so that he can make his family more prosperous. "

Li Chengqian was stunned. After all, he had received a key education. He immediately understood Changsun Wuji’s intention. When he looked at the past events from a different angle, he broke out in a cold sweat. His father’s lack of care in the past did not mean anything to him. He didn't know that if he offended his father one day, the consequences would be disastrous.
