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

Chapter 52 Li Zhi was confined for one month
Without the time or mood to linger with Wu Meiniang, Li Zhi turned around and rushed to the palace from Ganye Temple.

At this time, Li Shimin was reviewing memorials in the imperial study.

Zhang Ananda came to report soon:
"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince requests an audience!"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly.

Why is Zhier here?

Didn’t Changsun Wuji say the day before yesterday that this kid was studying very hard in the Ten Kings’ Mansion?

"Let him in!"

Li Zhi quickly ran into the imperial study and fell to his knees in front of Li Shimin with tears in the corners of his eyes.

"how?"

Li Shimin was slightly startled:
"Who made you feel wronged?"

"Father!"

Li Zhi's mouth drooped, and he almost burst into tears:

"Please ask the emperor to make the decision for me!"

"Why are you crying!"

Li Shimin frowned slightly.

My ninth son loves to cry.

She always makes girly noises!

"Father, as soon as Sixth Brother returned to Chang'an, he went to Ganye Temple to tease Wu Meiniang. Not only did he speak frivolously, he also wrote two obscene poems to tease her!"

"Mei Niang is now devoted to practicing Buddhism, but she was insulted by him like this. How can there be any peace and tranquility in Buddhism?"

"Sixth brother just came back from paying respects to our mother's mausoleum, and now he's flirting with a monk. He's really not a good son!"

Li Zhi didn't dare to ask Li Shimin to let Wu Meiniang come back from Ganye Temple, let alone say that it was Wu Meiniang who reported the news.

Therefore, he could only attack Li An from the most basic moral issues.

After all, attacking your opponent from a moral high ground is the best way to attack!

He had just finished paying homage to his mother, and then turned around to tease the pretty little nun.

He is simply not a human being!

After hearing this, Li Shimin frowned slightly.

An'er, this bastard!

However, he remained calm on the surface.

After all, this kid Li An has always looked so ridiculous, which actually increased Li Shimin's tolerance towards him.

So much so that no matter what happened to him, his father didn't think there was anything strange about it.

In addition, during the trip to Lingnan, Li Shimin experienced great fluctuations, from being extremely angry and wanting to kill Li An at the beginning to later admiring and delighting him.

It was later proved that Li An was not as ridiculous as he seemed.

Everything he did, he did for a reason.

Maybe your actions may seem a little eccentric, but they are never aimless!

Therefore, at this time, no matter what ridiculous things Li Shimin heard from Li An, he would persuade himself not to get angry.

Look, listen, and then talk!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin glanced at Li Zhi.

But she found that the boy had tear marks and an angry expression on his face, but was secretly looking at her.

There was a barely perceptible sneer in Li Shimin's eyes.

stinky boy...

You are still a little young!
"How do you know these things?"

Li Zhi was slightly startled, then replied:

"She was a maidservant beside Mei Niang. She was originally from my palace. When she saw Mei Niang being humiliated, she had no choice but to come to me to complain!"

"That means she informed you first, right?"

“…Father!”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Zhi couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved.

The point of this matter is not to report the news, father!

Shouldn't you first ask about Li An's molestation of Wu Meiniang, who was a nun?

"What kind of obscene poetry does he write?"

Li Zhi answered with a stiff upper lip:

"Mei Niang said he was rude and frivolous, so he said something like, 'The slender waist of Chu is light in my hand, the spring clothes on the swing are thin...'"

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

This bastard! He writes really good poems!
Although it is indeed a bit frivolous...

But where is the lust?
"anything else?"

"besides……"

Seeing that his father didn't seem very angry, Li Zhi had no choice but to continue to try to add fuel to the fire:

"He said that Mei Niang might not be able to leave Ganye Temple in this lifetime. If she doesn't want to be with the ancient Buddha all the time, she can go to Hua'e Xianghui Tower to find him!"

"that's it?"

Li Zhi looked at his father with some surprise.

That’s all!

Isn't that enough?

"Father, Li An has disregarded human ethics and humiliated those who have left home to practice Buddhism. Isn't that enough?"

Li Shimin nodded:
"I understand, you go back first!"

"what!"

Li Zhi was stunned.

Father's reaction is too small.

Shouldn't the emperor call Li An immediately, reprimand him severely, and then punish him?

Just say "I know", and that's it?
"Father, shouldn't you summon Li An immediately, find out the reason, and then severely reprimand him?"

Li Shimin looked at his son with a mocking sneer on his face:

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Li Zhi was stunned, then lowered his head:
"I don't dare!"

Li Shimin sighed.

"I told you to go back first, I will handle this matter myself!"

Li Zhi was silent for a while, the resentment and grievance in his heart made him furious.

He mustered up his courage and looked up at Li Shimin:
"Father is partial!"

"Ok?"

Li Shimin looked at this prince, who had always behaved very politely and timidly, with some surprise.

"Li An has no regard for human ethics and flirted with a talented person who has left home to practice Buddhism, but you don't care at all. How can I expect my son to submit to you?"

"Are you not convinced?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi, feeling a trace of anger in his heart but a smile on his face.

The smile was a little cold.

"Since you are not convinced, I will make you convinced!"

"First of all, I ordered Wu Meiniang to go to Ganye Temple to practice, which was already a special favor. If I were in the same temper as before, I would have killed her long ago to prevent you from having any more contact!"

"I didn't expect that you were secretly communicating with her. She would immediately send someone to report any problems. Have you ever had your father in your eyes?"

Li Zhi trembled and his face turned pale instantly.

Li Shimin snorted coldly and continued:

"Secondly, no matter what An'er did, he is still your sixth brother!"

"Even if Crown Prince Cheng Qian is so rebellious that he was demoted to Qianzhong, he is still your biological brother!"

"You keep calling him Li An and saying he disregards human ethics, but do you really have any respect for human ethics?"

Hearing this, Li Zhi trembled even more violently.

It was also because he was too angry just now and lost his composure, and did not even call Li An "Sixth Brother" in front of Li Shimin.

But my father found out my weakness!
"Third, since Wu Meiniang has become a nun and is practicing Buddhism, she is no longer your woman. You came to me to complain about a woman who has nothing to do with you. Which is more important, brothers or this woman?"

"Do you think that the best solution is for me to immediately send troops to Ganye Temple to kill this woman, so as to avoid any rift between you brothers and the possibility of fratricide in the future?"

Li Zhi was so frightened that he trembled on the ground.

Things seemed to be developing in a direction completely beyond his control!

He lay on the ground, begging in a trembling voice:
"Father, it's my fault. Everything is my fault!"

"Please let Mei Niang go, don't kill her!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but become even angrier.

Sure enough, Zhier still couldn't let go of this woman!

"roll!"

He slammed the table angrily:
"Go back to your Ten Kings' House and be confined to your room for a month. You are not allowed to leave the palace without my permission!"
