Even if you look at the entire Tang Dynasty, the financial resources of the Changsun family can be regarded as one of the best.
As the eldest daughter of the Changsun family, the scene when she got married naturally does not need to be described in detail.
Not to mention Shili Hongzhuang, but it is not much different.
But now, Li Shimin has agreed to reconcile the eldest grandson Pingting and Li Ke.
No matter what, the Changsun family wants to get back the dowry that was originally sent to the Prince of Shu's Mansion.
Of course, because of Li Chengqian's relationship, the Changsun family did not do things too perfectly.
They just retrieved Changsun Pingting's personal belongings.
As for the rest, they were all left in the Prince of Shu's Mansion, leaving Li Ke to deal with them on his own.
Some time ago, Li Keke had just followed Li Shimin's order to send away Yang Wenxia and the Yang family who should be sent away.
Now, when all the Changsun family members have left, there will really be very few people left in the Shu Palace.
Li Ke sat alone on the steps outside the main hall, with only a young eunuch who had grown up with him beside him.
That scene was very desolate.
The little eunuch looked at his master's appearance and felt a little heartbroken.
Although his little master is not Li Shimin's legitimate son, he has been excellent in everything since childhood.
Even compared to Li Chengqian, he still made no more concessions.
It can even be said that he is the one who gives Li Shimin the most peace of mind among his sons.
But now, because of his family problems, he ended up being criticized and demoted by Li Shimin. How can people not feel it is a pity?
The little eunuch sighed slightly, and then said: "Your Highness, this is the time when the sun is at its most poisonous. You should go back to your room and rest for a while."
Hearing this, Li Ke came back to his senses.
He shook his head slightly and said, "No, I just want to sit here quietly for a while."
The successive blows in the past few days have really made him mentally unbearable.
He doesn't want to do anything now, he just wants to sit here for a while.
The little eunuch also knew that Li Ke was in a very bad mood. >
He pursed his lips and said, "Your Highness, you don't have to worry too much."
"In the final analysis of this matter, His Majesty is actually angry with His Highness."
"After all, our Majesty is the one who values face the most, and His Majesty's marriage was decided by His Majesty."
"Your Majesty, by acting like this, isn't it just a slap in His Majesty's face?"
"He gave you some punishments, but they are all reasonable."
"However, after a while, when His Majesty calms down, it will naturally be necessary to reuse His Majesty."
The eunuch spoke softly to comfort him: "His Highness happened to be too tired a few days ago. It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to take a good rest."
"Um……"
After hearing what the eunuch said, Li Ke also sighed lightly.
He said: "What I worry about is not whether my father will re-appoint me, or whether he will demote me."
"I just feel a little unconvinced."
"They are both the sons of the father, so why is there such a big gap?"
"He is also married to two women, and many more people criticize him among the public than those who criticize my family."
Li Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Why doesn't Father punish him..."
Hearing this, the little eunuch was a little frightened.
He really didn't expect that Li Ke would say such words directly.
Isn't this clearly questioning Li Shimin and the prince?
If these words were spread to Li Shimin's ears, it would definitely cause another disturbance.
At that moment, the young eunuch also hurried forward and said: "Your Highness, you can't say this nonsense..."
"Don't talk nonsense, people who do things will naturally understand."
Li Ke raised his head slightly and said, "What do you think? Don't you think this is unfair?"
heard this
After saying this, the little eunuch bit his lip.
Immediately, he said: "Your Highness, there are some things that slaves like us should not say."
"But now that His Highness is asking a question, I still want to say a few more words."
He looked at Li Ke and said: "The princess is a very good person. She is very busy when Her Highness is not in the capital, and she keeps her home in order."
"And when she was short of money in the palace, she never told anyone, she just silently blocked the hole herself."
Hearing this, Li Ke suddenly sneered.
“Lack of money?” ??
"Xiao Junzi, please stop joking with me here."
He said: "With the rewards from my father and the subsidies from my mother and concubine every year, as well as my income from the fiefdom, how can there be times when I am short of money?"
"Your Highness, you really don't know how to be a family member. You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are."
Xiao Junzi glanced at Li Ke and saw that there was no change in his expression before he continued: "And it's not that you were without right and wrong when you were in Shu, it's just that you didn't know it."
Hearing this, Li Ke raised his eyebrows.
He was a little confused and asked: "What do you mean?"
Seeing his appearance, Xiao Junzi hesitated.
However, he still felt that there were some things that his Highness must know.
Otherwise, His Highness may feel it is unfair.
"I don't know if you still remember that when our princess first got married, she had a lot of gold and silver jewelry."
Xiao Junzi said directly: "But since you came back from Shu, have you seen her take care of you?"
For a moment, Li Ke was also in a daze.
Indeed, when the eldest grandson Pingting first got married, she had so much gold and silver jewelry that it almost filled a big box.
But since he came back from Shu, he has never seen her with him again.
Even some of the gold jewelry that she never left her body never appeared again.
At first, Li Ke also got angry with his eldest grandson Pingting because of this matter.
Because he felt that the eldest grandson Pingting was afraid that he would take her jewelry to give to Yang Wenxia, so she put them all away.
But from what Xiao Junzi said, that doesn’t seem to be the case...
Li Kezhi stood up, looked at Xiao Junzi, and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hesitate."
Hearing this, Xiao Junzi pursed his lips.
He said: "Don't talk about anyone else, just His Highness the Crown Prince."
"You should also know that when he first arrived in Liangzhou, the officialdom of Liangzhou worked hard to trick him, and no one would obey his orders."
"It was also His Royal Highness who had the means to tame the entire officialdom of Liangzhou, and this is how Liangzhou became prosperous today."
"But what about you?"
Xiao Junzi looked at Li Ke and said, "When you arrived in Shu, you were welcomed by the people and officials of Shu."
"Even the military and civilians listen to you wholeheartedly. They will do whatever you say and do whatever you ask them to do."
"Do you really think that it is because your benevolence is far greater than that of His Highness that you created such a scene?"
Xiao Junzi sighed slowly and said: "Actually, the princess used her own gold and silver jewelry and pawned her dowry in exchange for them."
"After you left home, the princess used all the connections at her disposal to help you take care of things. Those officials in Shu all received money from our princess."
"In addition, the princess also asked people to rush to Shudi ahead of you to build momentum for you in advance."
"Use your name to distribute money and food to the people in Shu, so they will have such a good impression of you..."
Changsun Pingting had never told Li Ke about these things.
And he never knew.
When he faced those scenes, he really felt that his kindness had spread thousands of miles.
After learning the truth at this time, Li Ke felt like his heart was being poked by thousands of steel needles, and the pain was so painful that he could hardly breathe.
