Chapter 530
"My son, Li Chengqian, and my son, Li Ke, pay homage to my father."

In the Ganlu Hall, Li Ke and Li Chengqian came to the hall together, looked at the angry Li Shimin who was sitting at the head, and hurried forward to worship.

Li Shimin looked at the two beloved sons Li Ke and Li Chengqian who were kneeling in front of him, and for the first time, he did not rush them to get up, but just knelt like this, on the already somewhat cold ground.

Li Shimin looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you know why I told you you are here?"

Li Ke and Li Chengqian looked at each other, and replied in unison: "I don't know, I hope my father will make it clear."

Li Shimin slapped the table and said angrily: "The two princes are fighting over a brothel girl in Pingkangfang. How decent is it? What should others think when they see it? Is this how you set an example for you brothers?" ?"

Li Chengqian hurriedly explained: "Father, please calm down. The competition between the younger minister and the third younger brother in the brothel is just a joke after drinking, and there is no other purpose. Father, don't listen to outsiders."

Li Chengqian is not stupid. Now Li Shimin is blaming the blame. Most of the blame is not that they go to the brothel for fun. After all, people are romantic, and it is not a big deal for the children of the rich and powerful to go to the brothel. Even many officials themselves are in the brothel. regulars.What Li Shimin was angry with was that apart from their being princes and being too public in the brothel, most of the anger was that their brothers were fighting over a woman.

Li Chengqian and Li Ke knew very well that if they wanted to appease Li Shimin's anger and pass the current hurdle, their brothers could not fight in front of Li Shimin, otherwise neither of them would be good.

Li Ke also chimed in and said: "Since what the emperor said is true, our brothers are just playing around after drinking, and I have never taken it to heart, when will it be the turn of others to ask about the matters between brothers."

If Li Ke and Li Chengqian shirked each other and were unwilling to take responsibility, Li Shimin would definitely become more angry and even furious, but now Li Ke and Li Chengqian are helping each other, shouldering the responsibility together, and unanimously speaking to the outside world, which relieved Li Shimin a lot .

On weekdays, father and son would sometimes fight, let alone brothers, if it was just for a brothel girl drinking and having fun, it would not involve the prince's quarrel, it would not be a big deal, Li Shimin felt a little more relaxed after hearing what the two said.

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke, and asked with feigned anger: "It's not your brother's fault to listen to what you mean, but to blame others for not telling Yu Zhen?"

Li Shimin's appearance seemed to be a little angry, but in fact it had eased a lot, and even showed some pity for his son.

Seeing this, Li Ke replied: "It's fine if this person impeaches his ministers for hanging out in the brothel. It's just an excuse, and there's nothing wrong with it. But they really shouldn't talk about the things between us brothers."

After listening to Li Ke's words, Li Shimin suddenly became interested and asked, "Why?"

Li Ke replied: "These officials are outsiders. They don't know the relationship between our brothers. There is a saying that brothers fight in the morning and play in the evening. In fact, there is no gap between Erchen and brother. I am afraid that the original We brothers have nothing to do, but these outsiders just let these outsiders know what to do and get mixed up, and troubles arise out of nowhere."

Li Ke's words reached Li Shimin's ears, and Li Shimin nodded in agreement, as if he also approved of Li Ke's words.

Li Shimin said: "What Ke'er said is indeed reasonable. To you brothers, these officials are outsiders after all. Some things can be said by officials, but some things cannot be said by officials. If you talk too much, it will not be good for your brothers. harmony."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he thought for a while, and ordered Chang Tu who was beside him: "Report to the three provinces and Yushitai, and the matters between the princes do not need to be spoken by foreign ministers. From now on, if such things happen again, they will be impeached If there is dispute between the princes, it will be rejected."

"No." Chang Tu immediately agreed upon hearing the words.

Li Shimin's words came to Li Ke's ears, and Li Ke couldn't help but feel more joyful. Li Shimin's words were really a surprise to Li Ke. It became more and more hidden.

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and Li Chengqian who were still kneeling in front of them, and said, "Get up quickly, the ground is cold, don't freeze."

"Thank you, father." Li Ke and Li Chengqian responded in unison and stood up.

The brothel fight has been sorted out, and it has left an impression on Li Shimin's mind as Li Ke wished. At this time, in Li Shimin's opinion, this matter is just a joke between two brothers after drinking, and Quan Wanji has overcorrected. Forget it, their two beloved sons still have brothers and sisters, so don't worry.

After Li Ke and Li Chengqian got up, Li Shimin asked Li Ke again: "I saw a white young eagle on the side of the young slave, but did you give it to me?"

Just two months ago after the triumphant return of the Northern Expedition, Li Ke visited Gao Yang in the palace, and happened to meet Li Zhi in Gao Yang. When talking about the Northern Expedition, he mentioned Ashina Simo's sea dongqing.

Li Zhi was very curious about eagles because of Li Ke's words, and kept begging Li Ke to help him find an eagle to raise. A docile young eagle came back and presented it to Li Zhi.

Li Ke replied: "What the father said is that the young slave's eagle was a gift from my son. This young eagle has been trained by others. It is quite docile and will not hurt people. Father don't have to worry about it." .”

Eagles are also birds of prey. If they are not careful, they may hurt people. Li Ke only thought that Li Shimin was worried that Li Zhi would be hurt by eagles, so he said this.

Li Shimin said: "I can rest assured that the tiger's head is doing things. Since you gave the eagle to the young slave, you naturally know it in your heart, but you have done something wrong."

Li Ke listened to Li Shimin's words and asked, "I don't know where my minister is wrong, but I hope my father will correct me."

Li Shimin said: "Shi Zhao Fanghai, the governor of the King of Jin, impeached the King of Jin for raising eagles, and wrote letters to me twice and three times, asking me to punish those who offered eagles to please the King of Jin.

I asked Zhinu, and Zhinu resolutely refused to reveal the person who gave the eagle, but I guessed it was you, except you, no one in the palace has this way, let alone has the courage.You, it's good to feel sorry for my brother, but after all, there must be a limit, and you can't pamper him too much. "

Li Zhi is still young, and there are elder brothers above him. The current Li Zhi has nothing to do with the crown prince. People in the world, including Li Shimin and Li Zhi himself, will not think that Li Zhineng has half a relationship with the position of the East Palace. , so Li Shimin's expectations for Li Zhi are not so high, more is just love.

But Li Zhi is the youngest son after all. Although he can't talk about high expectations, it is absolutely impossible to play with things and lose one's ambition. The governor of the Jin Dynasty has the responsibility of teaching and assisting the Jin Dynasty. Seeing that Li Zhi was playing the eagle, he naturally wanted to remonstrate, and Li Shimin must also be held accountable.

Li Ke's gift of the eagle was meant to instigate Li Zhi to have fun, and Zhao Fanghai impeached him. Li Chengqian originally thought that Li Shimin was probably angry and would punish Li Ke, Li Chengqian was waiting to see the excitement.

But Li Chengqian's understanding of Li Shimin is still much weaker than that of Li Ke. Li Shimin values ​​the relationship between father and son more than others. Li Ke knows very well that Li Shimin was not really angry about this matter, but just made a point casually, and Since Li Ke dared to present an eagle to Li Zhi, he naturally had his reasons.

Li Ke quickly explained: "I didn't mean to instigate the young slave to have fun, it's just that the young slave will practice riding and shooting in a few years, and the servant saw that he likes eagles, so I gave him one, thinking After a few more years of raising it, it will be used when the young slave hunts with the emperor."

If Li Shimin was worried about Li Zhi's playfulness because of Zhao Fanghai's impeachment, with Li Ke's words, Li Shimin's original worries disappeared in an instant.

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing when he thought about the scene where Li Ke and Li Zhi, two princes whom he loved very much, led Huang Qingcang on one left and one on the right, and accompanied him on horseback hunting.

Li Shimin smiled and asked Li Ke: "Young slaves are weak and sick, will they be able to drive horses and whips like tiger heads in the future, and follow the hunt as their father?"

Li Ke said firmly: "That's natural. It is because the young slave is weak that he needs to practice riding and archery to keep fit. If you just follow the literature, is it the right way?"

After listening to Li Ke's words, Li Shimin agreed: "What Hutou said is very true, young slaves really need to practice martial arts, and it's really not right to only be in the palace every day."

Li Shimin and Li Ke were talking, and seemed to suddenly recall something, and asked Li Ke: "Has the tiger head practiced archery recently?"

Li Ke replied truthfully: "That's natural. My son must practice every morning and evening, not a day."

Li Shimin then asked: "A hundred steps up and down, how is your aim?"

Li Ke replied: "Nine times out of ten, but occasionally I miss the mark."

Li Shimin nodded, and said to the two: "Chengqian, let's go back first, the tiger head stays behind, and I will accompany my father to the shooting academy to learn from each other."

Li Chengqian looked at the scene in front of him, as if he had become a redundant person. He hadn't realized how Li Ke turned the situation around for a while, but things had actually happened.

Li Chengqian and Li Ke were supposed to be reprimanded by Li Shimin when they entered the palace today, but within a short time of tea, Li Ke became the biggest winner and gained Li Shimin's favor.

　Li Chengqian: "It's obviously a movie of three people, but I can't have a name."
