If I let you stay in Lingnan, how could you become the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?

Chapter 29: One hammer costs ten thousand taels, you are a spendthrift

At this time, Li Shimin was sitting in the imperial study with a headache.

The matter of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty made him feel a little embarrassed.

Intellectually, he admired Li An very much.

However, emotionally speaking, he preferred Guanyinbi's son Li Zhi.

So, after Yuchi Gong left, he kept having a headache and had to sit behind the dragon desk and support his head.

At this moment, Li Zhi's exclamation was heard from outside.

"Father, this is bad!"

Li Shimin frowned and raised his head, looking with some displeasure at Li Zhi who rushed in.

"What's wrong? I'm fine!"

Li Shimin, who originally did not care much about ghosts and gods and did not pay much attention to what he said, has begun to pay attention to whether what he said is auspicious in recent years due to his age.

When he heard Li Zhi say that his father was not well, he immediately felt unhappy.

When Li Zhi saw that his father started scolding him, he immediately fell to the ground and dared not say anything.

Li Shimin took a look at his own son born to Guanyin and sighed in his heart.

Children speak without restraint, after all, they are just children.

Even though he's a little silly, he's still my and Guanyin's daughter!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's tone softened:
"Why are you so panicked!"

Seeing that his father was no longer angry, Li Zhi quickly got up and said:

"Father, these mirrors made by Sixth Brother contain magic. They must not be used carelessly!"

"What kind of magic?"

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

"Just think about it, father! How can sand be used to make a mirror? I have read many books, but I have never heard of it before!"

"There are many barbarians in Lingnan, and they also have many witchcraft techniques. Sixth brother must have learned some witchcraft from those barbarians to turn sand into a mirror!"

"If this kind of mirror is used to shine on a person, it will surely suck the soul in. That would be terrible!"

Li Shimin looked at his panic-stricken son and couldn't help but frown and sigh secretly.

If I hadn't seen a lot in Lingnan, I would have really been fooled by you!
What kind of witchcraft is this? It's sorcery!

This is simply a mirror made by Li An using sand to burn into glass.

This is a principle that many people in Lingnan know, but in your opinion it has become witchcraft?
If you don't have any experience, then don't make a fuss about it!

"Zhi'er, this mirror doesn't represent any kind of witchcraft, you're worrying too much!"

Li Shimin was not particularly clear about the making of mirrors, and of course he was too lazy to explain it to Li Zhi at this time.

I had no choice but to give him some kind advice:

"This mirror won't be haunted, just rest assured!"

"Why not!"

Seeing that his father did not believe him, Li Zhi raised his voice in excitement:
"I just broke this mirror, and the eunuch was just picking up the pieces when he was cut and bleeding. This shows that this mirror is very capable of harming people..."

"what!"

When Li Shimin heard that his son had broken the mirror he had brought back from Lingnan with great effort, he was immediately furious.

A mirror costs ten thousand taels of silver!
I brought it back from Lingnan thousands of miles away, and not a single piece of it was broken!
In order to let you have a taste of the new jellyfish, I specially left dozens of pieces in the harem, but you, a prodigal son, smashed them into pieces in one go!

You are such a spendthrift!
If you don’t want to give it back to me, I’ll sell it to you for ten thousand taels!

You smashed it...

Li Shimin was so angry that he almost jumped up:

"evil creature!"

"This mirror is made of glass. Once it's broken, it will be thin and sharp. How can you not cut your hand if you're not careful?"

"I sold a mirror to my ministers for 10,000 taels of silver. Two hundred mirrors brought me nearly a year's worth of the Tang Dynasty's finances!" "But you smashed this mirror worth 10,000 taels of silver, and falsely accused your sixth brother of using some kind of witchcraft..."

"One hammer costs ten thousand taels. You are a loser!"

"Sooner or later, you will destroy the entire Tang Dynasty!"

At this point, Li Shimin was already furious.

If the person in front of him was not his biological son born to Guanyin,

By now he would have chopped it off with a sword, chopped it off and fed it to the dogs!

Seeing that his father was furious, Li Zhi dared not say anything more.

He fell to his knees on the ground, a layer of cold sweat breaking out on his back.

At this time, Changsun Wuji appeared in time again.

Changsun Wuji originally wanted to go to Li Zhi's house to see how his studies were going recently, but when he arrived at the palace, he heard Rui'an say that the Ninth Prince had gone to see the Emperor, saying that he wanted to remind His Majesty not to be bewitched by the Sixth Prince.

Upon hearing the news, Changsun Wuji immediately felt something was wrong.

Your Majesty has sold so many mirrors today and is very happy at the moment, but you choose to cause trouble at this moment.

Isn't this just like picking up manure with a lantern? You are seeking death!
Sure enough, as soon as I arrived at the door of the imperial study, I heard Li Shimin roaring with rage inside.

After listening to a few words at the door, Changsun Wuji immediately understood what was going on and hurried in to stop the fight:
"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"The Ninth Prince is still young, so it's understandable that he doesn't understand the principles of how this mirror is made."

"Besides, he thought there was witchcraft in the mirror, so he came to tell Your Majesty immediately. This shows that he and Your Majesty have a deep father-son relationship..."

After hearing this, Li Shimin gradually calmed down.

This Changsun Wuji is really good at speaking!
He actually turned a bad thing into a good thing.

Forget it, for the sake of Guanyinbi, just spare this brat!

"Get out of here right now!"

Li Zhi felt as if he had been pardoned. He knelt down before his father and left.

Changsun Wuji then came to the prince's mansion, but saw Li Zhi sitting there pouting and crying, like a bullied young wife.

"Your Highness..."

When Li Zhi saw his uncle coming, he felt like he had met a real relative and burst into tears on the spot:
"Uncle, I am really worried about my father, so..."

Changsun Wuji sighed:

"Your Highness, His Majesty is a wise man, so he can naturally distinguish what is witchcraft. But you rashly broke the Qiankun Treasure Mirror that he gave you!"

"Your Majesty sold this mirror to the ministers. Each piece was worth 10,000 taels of silver. If you broke a mirror, it would be like 10,000 taels of silver disappeared. Do you think Your Majesty would not be angry?"

After hearing what Changsun Wuji said, Li Zhi stopped talking but still couldn't help shedding tears.

Looking at his somewhat useless nephew, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but sigh secretly.

This kid is indeed a little stupid!

But there’s nothing I can do!
Crown Prince Chengqian has been demoted. If Li Zhi cannot be helped to rise again,

Then my sister’s two children will be doomed!

Thinking of this, he shook his head and said:

"Your Highness, if you really want to make His Majesty happy, you might as well learn from the Sixth Prince and come up with some clever ideas to make him happy and praise you!"

Hearing this, Li Zhi couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.

correct!

Since I broke the mirror given to me by my father, I will just make one.

If it is made and is better and more gorgeous than Sixth Brother's, wouldn't it make Father happy?
"Uncle, I understand!"

Li Zhi immediately burst into laughter, stood up and spoke confidently.

Changsun Wuji looked at his nephew with some confusion.

Your Highness, do you really understand?
