Chapter 3 The Bad News From Li Ke

Although he was puzzled, Li Yin immediately got up to greet Li Ke.Back in ancient times, the most uncomfortable thing for him was too much etiquette. For example, he and Li Ke were brothers. According to Li Yin’s idea, if Li Ke wanted to come, he could just come in, but Li Yin had to go to the living room to greet him. Prince Liang's Mansion covers a huge area, and there are no vehicles, motorcycles or other means of transportation. Every time you walk there, you will sweat all over. It is extremely inconvenient to go back and forth. negligence.

"Third brother, didn't my father forbid others to visit me? Are you not afraid of my father's punishment?" Li Yin entered the living room and asked directly. As soon as he came in, he saw Li Ke sitting there drinking tea. Li Ke has met before, so he is still familiar with him.

After Li Yin finished speaking, he sat down on a chair. Originally, people in the Tang Dynasty generally sat on their knees. Although chairs and other furniture had appeared, not many people used them. Of course, Li Yin, a modern person, is not used to kneeling, so Let the craftsmen make several kinds of furniture of later generations, and the chair is one of them.

"Huh? The style of your bed is very exquisite and novel!" Li Ke ignored him, but looked around at the chairs and coffee table in the living room, and said with some surprise.The chairs in the Tang Dynasty were also called Hu beds, they could sit and lie down, so they were generally large and heavy. The chairs designed by Li Yin had backrests and armrests. This kind of chairs did not appear until the middle and late Tang Dynasty. The materials and workmanship are very exquisite, so Li Ke certainly felt exquisite and novel when he saw it.

"Hehe, if the third brother likes a little gadget, I'll ask someone to make more and send it to your house." Li Yin said generously.Capital Datang 3

"Then thank you sixth brother!" Li Ke was not polite, took a sip from the tea bowl and put it directly on the coffee table, which was very convenient.

"Third brother, you haven't answered my question yet?" Li Yin couldn't help but reminded again seeing that his third brother was only looking at the furnishings in the living room.

"Oh, today my father is paying attention to our calligraphy, and I got the first place by chance. While my father is happy, I beg my father to allow me to visit you. I dare to come if my father agrees. Otherwise, I won't be as old as you Your guts." Li Ke half-jokingly said that he also felt helpless towards his own younger brother: stubborn, domineering, and bold, coupled with the doting of his mother and concubine, Li Yin became a complete playboy. The older brother can't do anything about him. Fortunately, Li Yin still respects his own brother, so the relationship between the two is not bad.

Li Yin was a little embarrassed by Li Ke's words, he laughed twice and didn't know what to say?

"Okay, I'm not joking." Li Ke put down his tea bowl, and said solemnly, "Actually, I'm here this time because I have something important to talk to you about, and this news is not a good thing for you! "

"What news?" Li Dao was taken aback by Li Ke's serious look, "Could it be that the Xiao family wants to regret their marriage?"

"The concubine of the Xiao family can be your concubine. This is to give their Xiao parents face. How can they regret the marriage? We are the ones who regret the marriage. Why do you have such a ridiculous idea?" Li Ke frowned, He said with a displeased face, his own brother married a concubine's daughter as the princess, and his own brother didn't look good. On this matter, he had the same opinion as Concubine Yang, and wanted to find a chance to divorce.

When Li Yin heard that he was not regretting the marriage, he immediately decided that he got such a beautiful woman as his fiancée for no reason. Although people in the Tang Dynasty thought it was the concubine daughter of the Xiao family who had favored him, in Li Yin's view, it was just the opposite. After all, he has not yet adapted to his current noble status as a prince, and from time to time he will bring the thoughts of Li Tian of later generations into his thoughts, so he blurted out this ridiculous question.

"Then what bad news can there be?" Li Yin said indifferently.

"You are fourteen this year. According to the rules, you have to be an official in other places for a year. I heard the news that the emperor wants you to go to Yizhou as the governor."

"Yizhou? What a place!" Li Yin said with longing.Yizhou is the Chengdu of later generations, the land of abundance.Weiwei Noodles, Long Chaoshou, Rabbit Head and other delicacies, especially the famous Sichuan Malatang. Unfortunately, the peppers are still in America, and many delicacies can’t be made. This makes Li Yin, who is extremely spicy, very disappointed, but it’s okay , the Sichuan Basin is a good place with rich products, and it is not bad to try the Sichuan cuisine of the Tang Dynasty.It seems that Li Shimin still loves his unfilial son very much!

"A good place?" Li Ke was completely desperate for his ignorant younger brother. He couldn't even tell the good from the bad, and he couldn't help saying loudly, "Yizhou is located in the south of Lingnan, where the people are tough and miasma is rampant, and the road to Shu is difficult. It will take at least two months to go there, and it is close to Tuyuhun. Although the army has pacified Tuyuhun last year, its southwest is Tubo. Do you think it's a good place?"

Li Yin was stunned by Li Ke's words. He didn't expect that this cheap father of his was really cruel, and even sent himself to such a dangerous place. If he didn't die, he would have to peel off his skin, but it was normal when he thought about it, Li Shimin But a ruthless person who kills brothers and brothers, it is not surprising that he is ruthless to his son. For example, Li You, the old fifth Qi king above him, will not be given to death by Li Shimin a few years later?Thinking of this makes Li Yin's neck a little chilly, it seems that in the future, he must find a way to please this cheap old man is the kingly way!

"Father is too cruel, right? I'm only 14 years old?" Li Yin said with a look of grief and indignation, "What does the concubine mother mean?" Now he can only count on Concubine Yang to intercede for him. It turns out that his mother, Concubine Yang, seems to be favored by Li Shimin very much. Many of the troubles he caused in the past were caused by Concubine Yang to plead with Li Shimin to resolve them.

"Hey, you are such a big man, how can you count on the protection of the concubine mother everywhere?" Li Ke said with a bit of hatred, "Although the father loves the concubine mother, you also know the character of the emperor, The concubine mother can still intercede for some irrelevant matters, but on such a big matter, the concubine mother begged the emperor several times to no avail. Moreover, because the queen's condition worsened, the emperor was in a very bad mood, and the concubine mother did not dare If you go too far, the key lies with you."

"Me? What can I do? It's not like you don't know that Emperor Father doesn't like me at all, and it's useless to beg him." Li Yin said in frustration. Now he has completely assumed his identity as the King of Liang. up.

Li Ke also sighed in a low voice. He is very clear about his father's attitude towards his younger brother. Not only does he not like it, but he even hates it very much. That's why he sent Li Yin to be the governor so far away, obviously because he wanted to lose sight of him. The heart is pure.

"How about this, you write a confession immediately, I will take it back and present it to your father, and then I will ask you to see if you can ask my father to change you to a place closer to Chang'an, so that it will be convenient for you to come back to visit your mother in the future." Concubine." Li Ke thought for a while, and in the end he could only come up with such a non-solution. Although the hope of success is slim, it is better than doing nothing.

"Do you want to write? This... this is a problem." Li Min said hesitantly. In his previous life, he had studied at university, but he became a semi-literate man in Tang Dynasty. Needless to say, he had never touched that thing since he was a child, so he immediately had a headache when he heard that he was going to write something.Capital Datang 3

"What? You couldn't even write after being beaten up, right?" Li Ke asked angrily.But what he didn't expect was that his good brother actually nodded, and his face was full of grievances.

"You...you really don't know how to write?" Li Ke was taken aback, and he stood up abruptly and looked Li Yin up and down. Although he knew that the loss of soul disease would cause many unpredictable sequelae, he didn't expect that It's so serious, if a prince can't even write, it will definitely become another big laughing stock if it spreads out.

"Prepare pen and ink, write a few words for me to see now!" Li Ke ordered.

Wen'er, who was standing by the side, immediately went out to prepare, and the pen and ink were ready in a short while.Although Li Yin was very reluctant, under Li Ke's persuasive gaze, he could only pick up a wolf hair brush and dip it in the ink, then tremblingly wrote the simplest characters of "people" and "big" on the paper. Both simple and traditional characters are written like this, so don't worry about writing mistakes.

"Third brother, when I woke up, I found that I don't know most of the characters, and I can't even write them. These two are the characters I can barely remember." Li Yin handed the words to Li Ke with a blushing face. The writing of this character is too ugly, the strokes and strokes are twisted and twisted, and the thickness is not distinguished, it is estimated to be at the level of a three-year-old child.

Li Ke was mostly disappointed when he saw Li Yin's posture holding the pen, because Li Yin was holding the brush in the posture of holding a pen, and the posture was not right at all.And when Li Ke saw the two words written by Li Yin, his disappointment immediately turned into despair.Originally, he planned to write the confession letter for Li Yin himself, and then asked him to copy it again and submit it, but now he saw that this method was not feasible. His father valued calligraphy the most, and he won the favor of his father because of his good handwriting. The emperor's favorite, if you present Li Yin's current words to the father, it will definitely make the father's impression of Li Yin even worse.

"Forget it, I'd better think of other ways!" Li Ke said weakly.Then he had another conversation with Li Yin, and then he left Prince Liang's mansion unhappy. . ..
