Chapter 1259: The ruthless imperial family since ancient times
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin's body was also shocked.
He looked straight at Li Chengqian and said, "What do you mean, kid?"
"What else could it mean?"
"You know best what my brother is like."
"To put it bluntly, in one sentence, he is the young you."
"And the reason why he went astray later was just a child's mind."
"Now, as you can see, he has grown up and become sensible."
"So Erchen feels that some of the mistakes he has made should be resolved by himself."
"And the matter between Tingmei and him is actually a matter between the royal family and the eldest grandson's family."
"Rather than keep covering it up and making both parties uncomfortable, it's better to bring this matter to light as soon as possible."
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "So I went to discuss it with Brother Ke and asked him what he meant."
Hearing this, Li Shimin was also a little curious.
He asked directly: "Then what did this kid say?"
"hey-hey."
Li Chengqian chuckled and said, "Don't mention it yet, this kid is very wise."
"Last night, I braved the rain and ran to Changsun's house to apologize to Tingmei."
"Look at that, both of them seem to have opened up their hearts."
"And this kid also spared his face today and confessed directly to Changsun Pingting on the board of the ship."
After hearing these words, Li Shimin also rubbed his chin with a smile on his face.
But soon, he reacted.
At first, he was really happy to hear this.
After all, any parent will be happy when his son has grown up and is willing to bear his own mistakes.
But the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
What does this guy mean?
Is this another attempt to bring Li Ke and Changsun Pingting together?
He stood up quickly, looked directly at Li Chengqian and said, "Are you going to cause me trouble again?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian was a little unhappy. He said: "Father, what you said is wrong. Why have I caused you trouble?"
"It was you who said it was done at the beginning, and it's you who said we should make peace with each other."
"Now you are trying to match them up again..."
"By doing this, where do you put the royal family's face?"
Li Shimin also said with a dark face: "If word spreads, how will the people see the royal family and me? Do I still want this face?"
When the eldest son Pingting and Li Ke reconciled, the whole city was in turmoil.
After all, who has ever seen Prince Heli from ancient times to the present?
Li Shimin also spent a lot of effort to suppress those things.
But this guy is lucky, and now he wants to uncover the matter again.
He really doesn't want to save face for himself.
"You are the current prince."
"When you have time, think more about government affairs and less about these useless things."
After Li Shimin scolded him coldly, he grabbed the memorial on the desk and said, "Come to me after reading these memorials. If you don't read them, you are not allowed to leave the room."
After saying that, he walked out of the study regardless of Li Chengqian's expression.
Looking at his back, Li Chengqian also sighed: "I want to save face, but I have to suffer..."
Although there is an old saying, the emperor's family has been ruthless since ancient times.
But emperors are also human beings, who can be truly ruthless?
It's just that in the trade-off between the overall situation and the small family, the emperor finally chose the overall situation.
Can Li Shimin forget how his eldest son Pingting was tortured by Li Ke?
Of course he can't.
And he naturally could not forget how much harm his son had brought to the eldest grandson's family.
Especially when he saw Changsun Wuji conscientiously helping him handle government affairs and making suggestions for himself.
And Queen Changsun, although she has never been with her
I have complained and never said anything to myself.
Even Changsun Chong, despite what happened, he is still doing his best for Li Chengqian and still takes extra care of his daughter.
After all, the human heart is made of flesh.
Would Changsun Wuji not feel sorry for his daughter?
Does Empress Changsun really not feel sorry for her niece who she has watched grow up since childhood?
And does Changsun Chong really have no complaints about what happened to his sister?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
It's just that they are doing their best to protect Li Shimin's face and the dignity of the royal family.
On one side is his brother who has fought with him all over the world, and on the other side is his wife who has been with him for half his life.
Of course, there is also his son's right-hand man, his son-in-law.
The implications of this matter are really too great.
Li Shimin saw all this.
The reason why he treated Li Chengqian like this was simply that he did not dare to mention the matter again, for fear that his son would do something again.
After leaving the East Palace.
Eunuch Zhou also came over immediately.
But when he saw Li Shimin's expression, Eunuch Zhou was also a little stunned.
In the past, no matter how melancholy Li Shimin was, he would immediately smile when he came to the East Palace and saw Li Chengqian.
But today, he went in with a sad face and came out with a sad face.
What's going on?
Is this because my son’s heart-opening technique is not working well?
Eunuch Zhou also said with some suspicion: "Your Majesty, has His Highness made you angry?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin also glanced at him.
Immediately, he also asked: "Did Ke'er leave his mansion yesterday?"
Be it the imperial palace or Chang'an city.
Others dare not say, but where are his sons, what they did, and what they even said.
As long as Li Shimin thinks about it, there is nothing he doesn't know. However, in recent years, the children have grown up, and he has gradually relaxed his control, only letting people watch their whereabouts.
After hearing what Li Shimin said, Eunuch Zhou was puzzled, but he still answered truthfully: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu went out late yesterday."
"What did you do?"
Li Shimin asked again.
"It is said that he went to Changsun Mansion."
"and……"
Eunuch Zhou twitched his lips and said, "I climbed over the wall from the backyard."
"This thing doesn't make me worry..."
Li Shimin took a deep breath and then said: "Go and summon the King of Shu to see me at the Manlu Palace."
After saying that, Li Shimin tossed his sleeves and walked away.
Looking at Li Shimin's back, Eunuch Zhou also frowned, and then his face showed surprise.
At the beginning, he only focused on answering Li Shimin's questions and didn't think about anything else at all.
But now that I think about it all, I really have come back to think about it.
You know, Li Ke is the number one enemy of the Changsun Mansion.
If it weren't for this guy's identity, I'm afraid the group of people from the Changsun Mansion would have eaten him alive.
But he still ran to someone else's house in the middle of the night.
As for what he did for.
Although Eunuch Zhou didn't know much about this matter, he could vaguely guess that it was most likely related to the eldest grandson Pingting.
After all, he had just received the news today that Li Ke took Li Chengqian and ran to Qujiang Pool to meet her.
After understanding this, Eunuch Zhou also knew why Li Shimin looked like this.
At that moment, Eunuch Zhou couldn't help but sigh.
Then he quickly followed Li Shimin's instructions and called Li Ke over.
Inside the Manna Hall.
Seeing Li Shimin, Li Ke also bowed respectfully and said: "My son, please see my father..."
"See you big-headed ghost!"
When Li Shimin saw this guy, he threw the memorial in his hand at this guy's face without saying a word.
