On this day, after Li Shimin went to court early, only Hou Junji was left behind.
Hou Junji didn't know why, so he was a little panicked.
Seeing that Li Shimin remained silent, Hou Junji couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, why do you want me to stay here?"
Hou Junji asked puzzledly.
Li Shimin glanced at him: "Didn't I ask you to teach Qian'er archery? How was the teaching going?"
this?
Hou Junji felt a little guilty.
When did he teach Li Chengqian?
When Li Shimin issued this imperial edict, Li Chengqian swore to him that he would study on his own in the mansion and would not need to be taught by him.
But now when Li Shimin asked, he couldn't say: Your Highness doesn't need my teaching, so I don't know either, right?
If he said that, he might not be able to survive even a quarter of an hour, and would be beaten alive by Li Shimin.
Therefore, Hou Junji simply gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness is gifted with extraordinary talents, and his archery skills have improved by leaps and bounds."
"presumptuous!"
Li Shimin slammed the table.
Hou Junji immediately knelt down.
Li Shimin said angrily: "How dare you help that bastard deceive me? Do you think I'm blind?"
Li Shimin's spies were all over the place. How could he not know what Li Chengqian had done?
And now, his beloved general is helping this bastard to deceive him. How can he not be angry?
Hou Junji put his head on the ground: "Your Majesty, calm down, I know I was wrong..."
"Are you aware of your mistake?"
"Is it useful to know your mistakes?"
Li Shimin snorted coldly and said: "Hou Junji, do you know what it is to lie to me?"
Hou Junji did not dare to speak and was trembling with fear.
Li Shimin frowned: "I'm asking you a question, didn't you hear me?"
It’s over…
Isn't this the end of the line...
Hou Junji sighed, and said with a face as if he was willing to die generously: "To deceive Your Majesty is to deceive the emperor, and to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan."
"Since you know this, why do you still dare to help that bastard deceive me?"
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes: "Are you too brave to eat a bear's heart and a leopard's heart?"
"minister……" >
"I am really..."
At this time, Hou Junji was a mute, eating Coptis chinensis, and was in trouble.
If Li Chengqian was really as mediocre as he thought, he really wasn't afraid of offending this guy at all.
But on the way to Jiangnan, after getting along with him all the way, he had already seen that Li Chengqian was extraordinary.
He really didn't dare to say it.
If by that time, this little ancestor also holds a grudge against himself, wouldn't he become the second Fang Xuanling?
Although Li Chengqian did not admit that he had plotted against him, nor did Fang Xuanling admit that he had been plotted against, this was tacitly acknowledged.
"Okay, get up."
"I also know that you are forced to do nothing."
Li Shimin smiled coldly and said: "I am going to the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion. You should go with me. Remember to help me pick up the thickest ruler."
The thickest...
Ruler???
Hou Junji smiled bitterly.
Your Highness, this is all I can do.
Just wish yourself good luck...
…
Little Chuzi was instructing the servants to move things.
Suddenly, he saw Li Shimin coming in menacingly from outside, holding a three-foot-long ruler upside down.
"My servant comes to see Your Majesty."
"no."
Before the little Chuzi could kneel down, Li Shimin interrupted with a wave of his hand and said directly: "What about the traitor?"
Rebellious son?
Didn't you just go about your business a few days ago?
Why are you being called a treasonous child today?
"Yes, it's in the backyard."
"Okay, let's lead the way. I'm going to break this traitor's legs now."
"good……"
Little Chuzi was about to lead the way, but then he realized: "Ah? Why did Your Majesty break His Highness's legs?"
"Talk too much!"
Hou Junji directly scolded: "This is your Majesty's housework.
Do you dare to take care of things?"
Little Chuzi was frightened and trembled, kneeling directly on the ground: "I don't dare, I'm too talkative."
As she spoke, she slapped herself.
"Okay, just don't do this."
Li Shimin saw through his trick and snorted coldly: "I think you are planning to tip off the traitor, right?"
Little Chuzi lowered his head even lower, only daring to look at the sand and dust on the ground.
"Get up quickly and take me there."
Li Shimin pointed at the little Chuzi with a ruler: "Otherwise, I will have you beaten to death!"
Little Chuzi really didn't dare to do it now and hurriedly got up from the ground to lead the way for Li Shimin.
I couldn't help but secretly say: "Your Highness, this slave can only do so much, just ask for your own blessings..."
I don't know how Li Chengqian would feel if he knew that Hou Junji and Xiao Chuzi sold him one after another.
Li Shimin was holding a ruler in his hand with a sneer on his face.
I just happen to be in a bad mood today, so I'll take it out on you.
Who calls you my son?
It is only natural for a father to beat his son.
Furthermore, when you made that cream cake, you didn’t tell me to try it first, because you thought of your mother.
Then this time, just wait for your mother to come and save you...
Li Shimin's idea is quite beautiful.
However, when he followed Xiao Chuzi to the backyard, he saw Li Chengqian standing under the eaves in a decent manner, with his bow and arrow ready and aiming.
Looking up, there were several archery targets placed on the courtyard wall, with several arrows nailed in the center.
Seeing the state of those arrows, Li Shimin sneered with disdain.
Hou Junji felt quite a headache.
His Highness is indeed smart, but this time he was mistaken for being so smart.
Not to mention the accuracy of being able to hit the target with one arrow.
Just saying that one arrow can penetrate the target is not something that ordinary people can do.
But the arrows on the arrow targets in front of me all penetrated the target. > This is obviously fake.
Therefore, Li Chengqian was clever but was misled by his cleverness.
If you just want to show off, just throw a few rotten arrows on the ground, why bother...
And Li Shimin had the same idea.
Now his ruler was so hungry that it was waiting to be attached to Li Chengqian's butt.
Just when Li Shimin was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, the sound of a bowstring suddenly sounded.
Buzz!
Whoosh...
The arrow broke through the wind, and the next moment, it hit the target.
This wasn't the end of it, the moment the arrow was nailed to the target, it penetrated the target directly.
Qing He on the side dumbly praised: "His Royal Highness's archery skills are really amazing..."
Li Shimin and Hou Junji were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
Who would believe that Li Chengqian could shoot through the target with one arrow?
Even people like Li Shimin and Hou Junji who boast of extraordinary archery skills dare not say that they can do it.
After all, it takes a lot of force for an arrow to penetrate the target. If they really want to do it, they can only replace the light bow with a heavy bow.
But if you replace a light bow with a heavy bow, the accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
But now?
This little kid who just turned nine years old actually shot through the arrow target with a light bow.
How much strength and accuracy does this require?
Li Chengqian turned around and saw Li Shimin with his mouth wide open.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian said with joy on his face: "Ah, my beloved father, you are here."
"Ahem..."
Li Shimin came back to his senses, cleared his throat and said, "I came over to check your homework."
"It seems that you have practiced archery quite well."
"Thank you very much, Father, for the compliment."
"But I know that I am not as good as my father in case anything happens."
Li Chengqian was very humble.
Li Shimin was also quite comfortable.
Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian suddenly added: "Father, how about you also shoot a few arrows?..."
