Li Chengqian left Liu Qi and Feng Guangyao behind to continue clearing away the remaining bandits on the battlefield.
He personally led the Qianzi camp towards the coast where Li Ke was stationed.
Three days later, the two brothers also met in the Chinese military tent.
The two of them haven't seen each other for a long time.
At this meeting, the two of them were a little embarrassed.
After all, the two of them had experienced some unhappy things.
In the end, Li Chengqian was the first to speak: "Third brother did a good job. He helped me a lot this time."
"There's nothing I can do to help."
"You and I are both our father's children and citizens of the Tang Dynasty."
"It is natural to fight for the country, share the worries of the father and emperor, and do your best for the court."
Li Ke glanced at Li Chengqian, pursed his lips, and then said: "However, I still want to ask the emperor brother."
"What were you thinking at the beginning? How dare you ask my father to release me?"
"Aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to support myself and fight you again?"
"Are you that confident?"
Li Ke tilted his head and looked at Li Chengqian.
"certainly."
"After all, you and I grew up together."
"I know very well what kind of person you are."
Li Chengqian also tilted his head and looked at Li Ke and said: "And I also know that the reason why you were against me in the first place was not only because of Qingque's instigation, but also because you were slightly dissatisfied with me, right?"
"That's right."
Li Ke admitted it very happily.
"I just can't stand it, my father dotes on you so much."
"I'm not convinced either. How come you, a person with such a bad reputation, can lead the team to victory, and the generals in the army are so convinced of you."
Li Ke raised his head and said: "And this is the reason why I really want to go to war with you."
This is also the reason why Li Ke really wants to go to war with Li Chengqian.
It was because he was unconvinced, looked down upon, or had prejudice in his heart. "The younger brother in my impression is not such a stupid person."
Li Chengqian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The path you should take is actually another one."
There are certain things and certain people. Li Chengqian saw clearly many years ago.
"Um?"
Li Ke looked at Li Chengqian in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans."
"Father has planned a path for me, and naturally he has also planned it for you."
Li Chengqian looked at Li Ke and said, "It's just that our paths are different."
What he said was not a lie.
Li Shimin has indeed planned a future path for each of his children.
Unfortunately, some people went astray.
"You envy me for being the prince, you envy me for being the future heir apparent, and you even envy me for being so close to my father."
"But have you ever thought about it, do you think I want all of this?"
Li Chengqian pursed his lips and said, "I don't want to be the prince, it's too tiring."
"I don't want to be a prince either, because the risk is too great."
"After all, as long as one thing is handled carelessly, it will be irreversible."
"My father and I are biological father and son, and so are you. Why can't you get close? Isn't that your own problem?"
Li Chengqian once again set his sights on Li Ke: "And do you know how much I envy you?"
"Since childhood, you and I have always made the same mistakes."
"Every time I am beaten with a stick by my father, but you are only scolded."
"Do you think I don't want to live your life?"
Hearing this, Li Ke laughed and said: "Isn't it because you are not satisfied? I still want my father to beat me a few more times, but do you think my father cares about me?"
He really envied Li Chengqian being under Li Shimin's administrative supervision
Keep it up and discipline you in everything.
It's not like him, just like being free-range, it doesn't matter what he looks like.
"So this is the difference in our thinking."
“你觉得父皇揍我是因为对我的宠爱,我觉得他揍我是因为他看不上我……”
What he said was not a lie.
There was a time when he really thought about it and had such extreme thoughts.
only……
"It was only later that I understood the secrets and my father's heart."
"Now that I have woken up, it's time for you, third brother, to wake up too."
Li Chengqian sat down slowly and then said: "My father has given you more than he has given me."
Because Li Shimin had already given him the position of prince, and he also wanted to give him the world.
Such deep love appears to everyone.
But because of this, Li Shimin would inevitably feel that it was unfair to his other sons.
That's why he dotes on Li Tai so much.
That's why he left Shu, a land of abundance, to Li Ke.
Unfortunately, many things were not what he imagined.
"You said my father didn't supervise you."
"That's because you have been excellent since you were a child."
"When you were a teenager, some people said you were a little Shimin."
Li Chengqian said: "Do you know what kind of honor this is?"
"I know."
Li Ke's mood also became depressed at the moment, and he lost his initial aggressiveness when speaking.
"It's good to know."
"Your martial arts and your wisdom are all given to you by your father. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and sighed: "I think after that war, you may still be dissatisfied, but you should also know that you are no match for me."
"If there are any problems, time will tell. You just have to wait." Just watch.”
Li Chengqian looked at Li Ke and said, "So, let's not argue. It's not interesting anyway."
"Indisputable?"
Li Ke chuckled and said, "How boring life must be."
"Hearing what you mean, you still want to fight?"
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Ke.
"certainly."
Li Ke tilted his head and looked at Li Chengqian: "I just want to fight with you, starting from small things to big things, I will fight with you for every one of them to the end."
"good."
"If that's the case, then let's fight for it."
Li Chengqian could also tell that this guy's tone had changed.
And the fight he talks about is not a fight for the world or the throne, but a fight with himself.
"The enemies of Datang are all outside."
"Xue Yantuo, Western Turks, Tubo, Nanman, Haiguo."
"There are even Persia and the Harsha Empire far to the west."
Li Chengqian raised the corner of his mouth and said: "If you really want to compete, we might as well compete and see who can destroy more foreign enemies..."
Naturally, when he said these words at this moment, he was not really trying to compete with Li Ke.
But he knew that Li Ke had changed his original mind.
He said this now because he wanted to confirm a future ambition with Li Ke.
When the time comes, the two brothers will be able to work together towards this ambition.
In this way, the Tang Dynasty will be more stable, the court will be more stable, and the people will live better and better.
"If you are more generous, I, Li Chengqian, will serve you tea and water when I am in front of you in the future."
"If I had more, you would just stay here and be my younger brother, and never think about resisting anything in your life."
Li Chengqian looked at Li Ke and said, "Do you dare?"
"Why don't you dare?"
Li Ke hummed and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the emperor will lose and refuse to admit it..."
