"He just went out like this. What if something happens? Have you ever thought about his safety? He has never left Chang'an City since he was born! Li Daozong is also confused. How can you not tell me about such a big thing? No way.
, I want to issue an order to ask him to send Qingque back to me as soon as possible!"
Li Shimin was so anxious that he was so frightened that Eunuch Gao knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up. This incident had nothing to do with him, but he was also guilty of concealing it and not retaliating. If Li Shimin were to investigate, he would still be unable to get away from it.
"Your Majesty, please listen to me."
Li Shimin frowned and said, "Li Mu, I haven't punished you and I've already treated you badly. What else do you have to say?"
Li Mu said solemnly: "Your Majesty, are you planning to raise the King of Yue to be a useless person?"
"What are you talking about! I am his father, how could I want to raise my son to be a useless person!"
"If your Majesty wants the King of Yue to become a useful person, please do not send anyone to recall the King of Yue."
"What does this have to do with each other? He can also become successful by my side!"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if twenty years ago, the Supreme Emperor had kept you by his side, asked a great scholar to be your teacher, and never let you leave his side, would your Majesty have been able to live today?"
"What do you mean!"
"I have no intention to offend Your Majesty, but I just want to ask Your Majesty to think deeply about what should be done for the benefit of the King of Yue. I know that Your Majesty wants to arrange everything for the King of Yue, but Your Majesty must understand that this is impossible, even if you are the emperor.
, and it’s impossible to do it.”
Li Shimin was about to speak, but Li Mu interrupted first: "Your Majesty is not in a hurry to refute, I just want to ask. Even if the King of Yue wants anything, Your Majesty will give it to him, but the Dragon Throne only has one seat, and there is already a prince, how can he still give half of it to the King of Yue?"
What?"
Li Shimin closed his mouth, but his expression was very stiff. It was obvious that Li Mu's words had entered his heart.
"I believe that whether you are training a prince or a king of Yue, you should make the best use of the situation. The prince is lively by nature and sincere in his treatment of others. He needs more training and is most suitable for people in the market. Let him see the warmth and coldness of human beings and the harshness of the world, and he will know the standard for doing things in the future. And
The King of Yue, he likes calligraphy, classics, arithmetic, mountains and rivers geography, and is very intelligent. These are his advantages, but your Majesty must understand that people's vision and vision do not only come from books. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
If Your Majesty had not ridden the mountains and rivers back then, would you be as majestic as you are today?"
"It's time for the King of Yue to go out to see the world and see the great rivers and mountains. Your Majesty, don't worry. Both the minister and Eunuch Gao have sent good hands to ensure the safety of the King of Yue and take care of the King of Yue's daily life. Life cannot be compared with Chang'an, but his life is bound to be in vain.
Worry. Don't blame General Li Daozong. He didn't know about this matter. Everything was arranged by me. I am willing to take the blame. But please, your Majesty, don't recall the King of Yue. It is not easy for him to make this decision. This time
If he is recalled, I am worried that this child will never have the courage to go out again."
"This child, that child! Don't forget, you are only eighteen years old!" Li Shimin glared at Li Mu and said, "That's not a small tone. What can you guarantee? If something happens to Qingque, can you take it?"
"I can't bear this." Li Mu was also a little angry. I'll help you educate your children, cultivate their different hobbies, and minimize the possibility of brothers falling out with each other more than ten years later. It's better for you, I can't bear this or that.
I can't afford it. I have to risk my life to teach a student?
Li Mu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, just treat it as what I just said. You can do as you please."
After that, he bowed and left.
The sudden 180-degree turn stunned Li Shimin. He glanced at Eunuch Gao and said, "What does Li Mu mean by this? Is he looking at my face?"
Eunuch Gao thought to himself, is this something that is not obvious? But he couldn't say that, otherwise both sides would lose face. He grinned and said: "This... I don't think so. Zhulu Hou may have figured it out.
He really can't afford it."
"Ha!" Li Shimin said speechlessly: "My son was missing, I didn't look for him, and he looked down on me! It's really unruly! I have to punish him, and I will punish him right away!
Now let’s issue an order to reduce the rank and dismissal from office, and we must learn from the rank and dismissal from office!”
"But Your Majesty, for those things you just mentioned, you still need Zhulu Hou to come forward..."
"..." Li Shimin choked, snorted, and said: "Then wait until he has finished his work, and then I will deal with him!" After that, he looked at Eunuch Gao, stretched out his hand and said, "You...
Confused slave! He and Qingque are fooling around, are you also fooling around? You are mine! If anything happens, you have to tell me! If you have two intentions with me, why should I keep you?"
Eunuch Gao smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, you can't blame the old slave for this! The old slave wanted to tell your majesty, but the situation was like this that day. Your majesty didn't sleep all night. At dawn, your majesty fell asleep.
The old slave wanted to inform His Majesty, but when he hesitated to wake up His Majesty, the Queen spoke. The old slave told the Queen about this matter, and the Queen said she knew."
"Then what?"
Eunuch Gao blinked his eyes and said: "No, the queen asked the old slave to step down, so the old slave stepped down. The old slave thought the queen would tell your majesty, maybe, maybe the queen had forgotten."
"I have not forgotten it." As he was talking, Queen Changsun came in from outside. Eunuch Gao shrank his neck in fright. It was really embarrassing to be caught on the spot saying bad things about people behind their backs.
"Your Majesty," Empress Changsun saluted and signaled the palace maid to put the lotus seed soup she brought on the table. She looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, I have not forgotten this matter. I just don't want to affect your Majesty. I plan to do it in a few days."
I’ll tell His Majesty someday.”
Li Shimin showed an angry expression and said: "Queen, Qingque has never left Chang'an. Why do you think you're going out so rashly?"
"I was worried about it, but when I thought that Your Majesty could lead the army at the age of fourteen, and follow Yun Dingxing's army to Yanmen Pass to rescue Emperor Yang at the age of seventeen, I stopped thinking about it. Compared with His Majesty's experience when he was young
, If Qingque cannot even make a trip to Chang'an City, he is not worthy of being your Majesty's son."
"Ouch..." Li Shimin covered his heart and said: "He is my Qingque after all. You said he is so fat and needs someone to take care of him when he is wearing clothes. What should he do when he goes out? Does he bring someone to take care of him?
"
"As far as I know, I only have a housekeeper and a book boy with me."
"Didn't Li Mu say he had someone to protect him? Did he lie to me?"
"That's secret protection, Qingque doesn't know about it."
"Ouch..." Li Shimin still frowned, rubbed his swollen forehead, and sighed: "Qingque didn't say how long it would take to come back?"
"I went back after the spring plowing. It was said that I went to Luoyang. It was about this time."
