Chapter 494 If you dont bother, you wont feel happy, right?
Having said this, Wang Zi'an gently shook the teacup in his hand, glanced at Du Ruhui, who was about to sweat, and spoke in a playful tone.
"Du Shangshu, will your words today reach His Majesty's ears?"
Du Ruhui couldn't help but sweat profusely.
He secretly glanced at Li Shimin, who was sitting beside him, and cupped his hands in embarrassment.
"Ahem, it won't be, it won't be -"
Having said that, I didn’t forget to give myself a patch.
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and has a mind as big as the sea. As long as it is not malicious slander, even if it reaches His Majesty's ears, it probably won't be a big deal - right?"
Hearing what Du Ruhui said, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and patted his chest with some fear.
"That's good, that's good - but you'd better keep it a secret from me. Who knows what your majesty thinks? What if you secretly keep a small account for me and wear small shoes for me later?"
Li Shimin:......
You bitch, are you afraid that I will keep a small account for you?
It’s too late, I can’t remember the small accounts anymore!
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji couldn't help but feel speechless, thinking to themselves, are you still afraid of this?
Du Ruhui couldn't help wiping the sweat from his head and didn't know how to answer the question.
It was my first time to meet Wang Zi’an, and I was a little uncomfortable with the rhythm of this kind of conversation.
As for Du He, he had long been stunned by Wang Zi'an's operation.
This is real awesome!
continue--
It's best to be taken down by His Majesty on the spot!
"But to be honest, our Majesty is really an idiot when it comes to raising children. No, calling him an idiot is just to praise him. I'm not just talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. If this continues, sooner or later he will cry.
——No, by then I’m afraid I won’t even be able to find a place to cry…”
Everyone:…
At first, Li Shimin was holding his breath and was quite unconvinced. He wished he could beat this bitch on the spot, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and his face straightened up.
Zian, this bitch, although sometimes his words are very irritating, he never talks empty words or has no purpose.
"Zian, how do you say this? Although Du He, Young Master, Zhao Jie and others are a little frivolous and not very steady in their work, so they are not good teachers and friends, but they are not as serious as you said, right?"
"It's not that serious?"
Wang Zi'an glanced at him with a half-smile.
"Old Li, you are my father-in-law, and I am one of my own for the time being. To be honest, if anyone else had said that, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him. It's so ignorant - luckily you are just a businessman, so
Otherwise, with your little knowledge, if His Majesty really appoints you, he might cause some big trouble..."
Li Shimin:......
Hey!
"Come on, tell me - why am I, my father-in-law, so ignorant?"
Li Shimin put the tea cup on the table and looked at him.
"Come on, let me tell you something. Tell me, is the prince the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty? Is he the most important person in the future of the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Shimin nodded.
"So, look at our Majesty, what did he do? It's just that he didn't find some contemporary heroes for the prince. He also sent the prince to accompany him as a reading companion. People like the East Palace officials who were almost destined to become the prince's confidants were given as favors.
Tell me, was he kicked by a donkey? This is the future prince of the Tang Dynasty - what did he think it was?"
Wang Zi'an said and put down the tea cup.
"You know, he said he doesn't know how to teach children, and you don't know, you think this prince is not your biological son -"
Li Shimin:......
If you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I will beat you up?
Changsun Wuji couldn't bear it anymore, slapped the table and stood up.
"Bold, you, you dare to slander the king, what crime should you deserve?"
He was blowing his beard and staring, so angry that Prince An didn't even bother with him.
"Go, go, go, let's play together - looking at your tone, those who know know that you are the little steward of Changsun's house, but those who don't know think that you are Changsun Wuji, the prime minister of the dynasty?"
Changsun Wuji:......
I'm frustrated!
"Brother Zhangsun, forget it, forget it, sit down, sit down, listen to him, listen to him..."
When they saw Changsun Wuji's outburst, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling, who were worried that his character would collapse, quickly came over and pinned him down.
Changsun Wuji was so angry that he sat there, twisting his face, holding the cup and gulping down water.
It's so annoying!
This bitch actually dares to accuse the Queen's sister of stealing someone in front of him and His Majesty!
Seeing that this old boy had managed to make him angry again, the prince was secretly happy.
He nodded quite generously.
"That's right. Although you are just a small steward, you still have to learn to control your temper. Even if you meet someone with a good temper like me, if you meet someone else, I might be able to cure you on the spot.
The crime of respect, my majestic Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, is it you, a little steward, who casually talks back and slams the table——"
Changsun Wuji:......
No, my lungs want to explode!
Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and Du He all turned their heads and looked at the sky.
Ah, look at these purlins, one by one, how beautiful they are——
Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Although this bitch doesn't drink anymore, his words are more irritating than when he was drinking before. He was worried that Changsun Wuji would go berserk on the spot, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Let's get to the point, even if your Majesty did something a little wrong in selecting the prince's companions and officials, it's not as serious as you said, right?"
Wang Zi'an nodded lazily.
"Yes, but if it stops at this, it probably won't be a big problem, but our Majesty has water in his head and is already showing off..."
Li Shimin:......
Although he didn't know what "showing off to the sky" meant, he knew that it was probably not a good thing.
So, don’t ask him to make things difficult for yourself.
She took a deep breath and calmed down the urge to punch him again.
"Why, do you think there is another problem?"
At this time, not to mention Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, even Changsun Wuji, who was pouring water on him crazily to suppress his anger, couldn't help but secretly pricked up his ears.
Wang Zi'an glanced at them, gently put down the cup, and pointed to Du He next to him.
"Master Du, why don't you go out for a walk first and let your servants take you to enjoy the scenery of my house?"
Du He:......
If you drive people away, drive them away. Look at your sister’s beauty!
However, in the end, he went out obediently in the eyes of his father and His Majesty.
If you don’t listen, don’t listen. What’s the big deal!
You want me to listen, but I don’t even bother to listen.
Before he had finished complaining, he heard Prince An behind him laughing and laughing.
"A child has a hairless mouth and a weak handle on things. It's better to let him avoid such big things..."
Du He couldn't help but staggered.
Damn it, are you older than me?
However, it seems that both my father and His Majesty agree with this thief’s statement. This is very embarrassing!
Seeing Du He's figure disappear at the entrance of the courtyard, Wang Zi'an said calmly.
"Why do you think there was such a tragedy as the Xuanwu Sect Incident?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
This is a taboo topic.
Now, no one in the government or the public dares to mention this matter in front of His Majesty.
Li Shimin's face was as dark as water.
"What do you think about this matter?"
Wang Zi'an seemed to have forgotten the looks on several people's faces.
He stood up, put his hands on his back, and walked slowly to the bright floor-to-ceiling windows. He raised his head slightly and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. It was only when several people could hardly bear it anymore that they sighed deeply.
"In the final analysis, it's not that the Supreme Emperor has no way to teach his son..."
As soon as these words came out, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. If the hat was placed on the Supreme Emperor, it would be pretty much the same...
Li Shimin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but reveal a look of displeasure on his face.
"Zian, don't talk nonsense. The Supreme Emperor is wise and wise, how could he be wrong?"
Wang Zi’an:……
That's right, you also kicked your father off?
He resisted the urge to ridicule him.
The voice was calm and authentic.
"Who can make mistakes without being a sage? Maybe the Supreme Emperor is a qualified emperor, but he is definitely not a qualified father."
Having said this, Wang Zi'an suddenly turned around, and the sun shone through the glass window behind him, as if a layer of golden light and shadow had been cast over his body.
"When the Tang Dynasty was founded, who didn't know that the Supreme Emperor had two good sons? The eldest son planned the strategy, and the second son won the battle thousands of miles away. The brothers worked together to sweep the world. This was a good story in the world, but it was a pity that the Supreme Emperor himself ruined it...
"
Having said this, Wang Zi'an shook his head, and a hint of regret or sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"After the founding of the country, he still wants to play a balance between his two sons? On the one hand, he passed the crown prince's position to the eldest son, and on the other hand, he continued to give the second son hope that he should not have -"
"You say, what is the Emperor playing with fire? Does he think that the more fiercely his two sons fight, the more stable his position will be? What does he regard his son as a means to stabilize his throne? Actually, between the two sons, he is playing with fire.
Playing balance between sons——"
Wang Zi'an glanced at Li Shimin with a complicated expression, then at Du Ruhui and others who were thoughtful, and gently shook his head.
"There are two things in this world that cannot be looked directly at. One is the sun and the other is the human heart."
"The Supreme Emperor thought he was secure on the Diaoyutai, but he didn't know that those who play with fire will burn themselves. He had fun playing with it. What would his two sons think? What would Prince Yin think at that time, and what would King Qin think at that time? He
Don't you understand that his son is no longer just a son, but represents an interest group of a large group of people..."
Li Shimin, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and Changsun Wuji couldn't help but remain silent.
"If you take a step further, the sky will be brighter, if you take a step back, you will be shattered into pieces. The key is that they are not a person yet. They have to be responsible for those who surround them - they have no escape route. It can be said that they are all pitiful people. Therefore, I am deeply concerned about the hidden people."
The prince has no ill feelings, and similarly, I have never despised the current majesty..."
Li Shimin glanced at Wang Zi'an who was talking eloquently with complicated eyes, and he had an inexplicable meaning in his heart.
There are still sensible people in this world!
But this kind of thing can be said privately, but not externally.
This crime is too serious and the reputation is too bad.
You can't blame it on your father, and you can't blame it on yourself. For the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty, this crime can only be blamed on the brother who was once so close.
"Marquis Chang'an, be careful what you say——"
Du Ruhui couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and shouted a reminder.
Have no idea.
These two idiots Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji are being set up, so they can remain silent. But I can't. I am just a servant of the court.
Hearing this, Wang Zi'an smiled at Du Ruhui.
"It's okay - don't be nervous, we are all our own people here..."
Du Ruhui:......
Khan—it’s your own people you’re afraid of!
Having said this, Wang Zi'an patted Li Shimin on the shoulder with a relaxed expression.
"My father-in-law, you can be considered a member of the royal family after all. Do you think your Majesty's operations now are similar to those of the Supreme Emperor back then?"
Without waiting for Li Shimin to speak, Wang Zi'an happily sat back in his seat, shaking the teacup in his hand and speaking lazily.
"On the one hand, he gave the crown prince position to his eldest son, and on the other hand, he tried his best to encourage Wei King Li Tai."
Having said this, Wang Zi'an crossed his legs.
"Tsk - and the Supreme Emperor are indeed father and son. You can tell at a glance that we have the true inheritance -"
Li Shimin suddenly turned black.
Wang Zi'an glanced at him.
"What's going on? Are you not convinced? Okay, let's not talk about the situation with the prince. Come on, let me help you understand the treatment of Wei Wang Li Tai..."
Wang Zi'an looked at Li Shimin and the three prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty present with a half-smile.
"According to convention, princes should go to fiefdoms when they reach adulthood, but did Li Tai go? He was granted the privilege of "not being an official". What would he do if he was not an official? Stay in Chang'an and wait to become the prince?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin shook his head with some difficulty.
"Your Majesty is the emperor, so why don't you want to leave a son you like to serve as a filial son?"
When Wang Zi'an heard this, he was very angry.
"You also know that His Majesty is the Emperor? Does the Emperor have any personal matters? Isn't the lesson he learned when brothers killed each other profound enough? Look at Li Tai, is that the treatment a normal prince should have?"
"The titles include the Grand Governor of Yangzhou and the Governor of Yuezhou, the military governors of the sixteen prefectures of Hai, Run, Chu, Shu, Lu, Hao, Shou, She, Su, Hang, Xuan, Dongmu, Nanhe, etc., and the governor of Yangzhou.
Du Yue, Wu, Quan, Jian, Taiwan, and the six prefectures included not only did not follow the customary rule to entrust officials with fiefdoms, but the fiefdoms were as many as 22 prefectures!"
Having said this, Wang Zi'an spoke in a mocking tone.
"The funniest thing is that our majesty actually allowed King Li Tai of Wei to set up a literature museum in his mansion, and let him recruit bachelors on his own. Tell me, do you think a prince should be treated like this? What on earth does our majesty want to do?"
Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji couldn't help but feel silent in their hearts.
It was not that they didn't have this worry at the beginning, but the king's heart was unpredictable, and no one dared to bring this up in the open. At this time, hearing Wang Zi'an put this issue in the open, he immediately secretly
I pricked up my ears and wanted to hear what my Majesty thought.
Li Shimin swallowed, feeling a little weak for no reason.
"The King of Wei is smart and talented..."
The prince was happy when he settled down.
"So, our Majesty, with his little knowledge, he can only give you a comparison——"
Li Shimin:......
Ah, this——
Are you complimenting me?
"I'm not saying that. In my opinion, if our Majesty wants to change the prince, he should do it quickly. If he doesn't want to change, he should quickly stop the other princes from thinking about it - what he is doing now
What? To raise his son like a poison? If the tragedy of that year does not happen again, he would not be happy, right..."
When Li Shimin heard this, his heart suddenly trembled, and his inner clothes were wet with sweat.
