I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 615 You Are My Best Child

When Li Shimin stepped into the room, he saw stacks of memorials on the table.

In front of Li Tai, several books were spread out.

Obviously.

Unlike Li Ke's sensitivity and taboo, Li Tai chose to review the memorials generously.

For Li Shimin, this is not a deduction item, but a little curious.

"Go back to the emperor."

"Father sent me the memorandum, and my child dare not be negligent in the slightest, and is reviewing it wholeheartedly."

Li Tai stepped forward to meet his father, touched his round belly, and said with a smile,

"I forgot to eat."

"Does the emperor want to eat with the child?"

Li Shimin looked a little surprised.

"Good boy, you are quite focused!"

he laughed,
"Doing this kind of thing, you can be so focused! Could it be that you are born to manage politics?"

"Okay, okay, my son is promising! It just so happens that I'm a little hungry, go get some food, and my father will take a look at your achievements!"

Li Tai responded, and said to the attendant in a defiant way:
"Go! Make a delicious meal!"

"Father is here today, let's be a little lighter! Don't make big fat meat! But have fish!"

"Of order." The servant stepped back and went to the kitchen.

A beloved prince like him always has an independent kitchen in his bedroom, and the cooks are all chefs from the imperial dining room, who specially prepare meals for him according to his personal preferences.

At this moment, Li Shimin was flipping through the memorabilia revised by Li Tai, from being casual at the beginning to being serious later.

Up to now...he was even a little shocked!

"Qingque... This, this was all corrected by you alone?!"

Li Er said in surprise,
"Is there someone to help you?"

"How can you be so sophisticated?!"

Li Tai glanced at the memorial, and said carelessly:

"No one will help me!"

"I figured it out by myself, father, is it difficult?"

"I have read a lot of history books before, and I can find the answers to many questions in the memorabilia. My memory is not bad, and I can write it silently without looking through it."

"For example, the inspiration for this memorial comes from "Left Turn"."

"Here, for that one, my child's thinking comes from "The Doctrine of the Mean". In fact, these ancient classics have already explained all the truths clearly!"

"Master once said that there is nothing new under the sun! It's all old wine in new bottles! As long as you're not stupid, you can do it differently!"

At this moment, Li Tai is very confident!
Because of these memorials, both Wei Ting and Du Chuke analyzed them in detail with him.

Therefore, even if Father wants to ask questions, he can answer them fluently without any flaws!
"Tsk tsk, tsk tsk..."

"Qing Que, Qing Que, Father really didn't expect you to have such comprehension and wisdom!"

Holding the memorial, Li Shimin couldn't help but praise,
"You surprised my father so much! Really, your kid is really good!"

"Haha, hahahaha..."

What could be more comforting to an old father than a promising son?

"Father means, is it okay for the baby to answer?"

Li Tai raised his head, scratched his head and asked.

"Good! More than good? It's so sophisticated! It doesn't seem like a child of your age can approve it!"

Li Shimin flipped through several memorials in succession, clapped his hands and praised,

"Your elder brother is far behind you! He is still in the groping stage, and many of his responses are immature."

"Your level is better than your father's back then! When your father was your age, he was only thinking about fighting, and he didn't make any achievements in martial arts!"

"You are better than your father... Oh! This is the benefit of liking reading! Reading can make sense, and when you comprehend the truth, you will be able to understand everything else!"

Hearing his father's praise, Li Tai felt elated, even a little elated.

Dealing with memorials is the basic skill of the emperor.

And in this area, he has already won too many big brothers!

"Actually, my child still feels that he doesn't read enough books..."

Li Tai said modestly,

"Also, my child has realized over the years that just reading books is not that effective, or...it can't let a person quickly improve his cognition and knowledge."

"Only a group of learned people communicate with each other, learn from each other, and even debate! Only in this way can we make progress!"

"That's exactly why Hai'er wanted to set up a literature museum."

Li Shimin nodded again and again.

"You have a good idea. I also thought the same way when I was a father, so I established the Hongwen Museum."

He applauded,

"If you study hard alone, even if you are very talented, your progress will still be very slow."

"A group of people read together, communicate together and make progress together, and only then can they make rapid progress! There are some truths that you can't understand but you can't understand them. Maybe when someone else mentions them, you can immediately understand them!"

"Father allowed you to build a literary library! What else do you need? Need help?"

Li Tai's eyes lit up.

"It's not difficult to recruit people...mainly because of funds..."

Now that the father has opened his mouth, he naturally wants to seize the opportunity to make a request,
"As you know, many well-educated people don't bother to make money, and all they care about is learning."

"So, while recruiting them, you must also support them. This requires a lot of money..."

Li Shimin nodded.

"This is...how much money do you need? Ten thousand taels of silver, is it enough?"

Li Tai was immediately elated when he heard this.

"Enough is enough, that's enough!"

He hurriedly said,
"In fact, they don't care much about money and enjoyment, as long as they have enough food and shelter."

"Ten thousand taels of silver, enough for many years! Thank you, Father, your father is so generous! Thank you, Father!"

Although he is a prince, he is still in the palace after all, and he has no chance to make money before he goes to the locality.

Therefore, although there is no shortage of material comforts, the money is actually not much.

Now that he has tens of thousands of taels of silver, he is overjoyed!

"Hehe, what are you talking about, we are father and son, why are you being so polite?"

Li Shimin touched his head and said with a smile,

"It's only 1 taels, it's nothing to my father."

"Father hopes that you will make good use of this money to improve your knowledge. We, the royal family, also want to plant a seed of reading to lead the world's scholars!"

"I hope it's you, Qingque, my father has high hopes for you! You must not let my father down!"

Li Tai's expression turned serious, and he nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, Father!"

"My child must devote himself to learning! In the end, he must apply what he has learned!"

"It's just like this review book! Make good use of the knowledge you have learned, so that the child can help the emperor!"

Li Shimin was extremely relieved when he heard this.

"Okay, okay..."

"You think so, father is really happy."

He patted Li Tai on the shoulder and encouraged,

"Qingque, do well!"

"At that time, the emperor will send you more memorials to test your achievements!"

"If you can handle it properly, you can take care of part of the political affairs for my father!"

Li Tai was suffocated for breathing.

My heartbeat missed half a beat!

What does this... mean? !

Dealing with political affairs, that represents power!Only the emperor has a few chancellors who are qualified to deal with it!
If he could get a part of it, it would be equivalent to getting the supreme power from his father!
Father is willing to share this power, does that mean... I really have a chance in the future...

The more he thought about it, the more excited Li Tai became!
He suddenly felt that he was much closer to the throne!

At the same time, Wei Ting and Du Chuke, who were eavesdropping in the bedroom, looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

It seems.

Your Majesty loves King Wei even more than they imagined!
The potential of King Wei's team has greatly increased!
The possibility of them becoming Conglong Heroes has also greatly increased!
"Don't dare..."

Li Tai suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said with a little panic,
"Actually, children shouldn't read this memorial."

"After all, the boy will go to the feudal clan in the future. It stands to reason that the prince of the feudal clan is not qualified to touch government affairs. This time, the boy didn't think too deeply, so he took it here."

"In the future, please don't send the memorial to the boy...otherwise, you will be gossiped about."

This trick is called retreating to advance!

Li Shimin didn't know that Li Tai had learned to use his mind when he grew up, so he really took the bait.

"What's this?"

Li Er said displeased,
"You don't have to be so cautious! After all, this world belongs to me, and it belongs to you too!"

"Being able to handle government affairs is a manifestation of a prince's excellence! If the prince can't do it, won't other princes be allowed to do it?"

"Qingque, don't think about what you have and what you don't have, just use your talents! Father just wants to see how capable you are!"

"Understand?"

Li Tai then nodded obediently.

"Yes, Father."

He said nicely,

"The child listens to the father, what you say is what it is."

As he spoke, he got up, stood his fat body still, and rubbed his father's shoulders with his fleshy hands.

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

This kid, Li Tai, is sweet-mouthed, caring, and has a high literary quality.

He loved to deal with such a person, not to mention that this person was his own son.

At this time, the dinner was served.

Plates of delicacies were delivered to the two of them.

"Yo, you boy... you eat quite a lot."

Li Shimin looked at the delicacies in front of him, and couldn't help saying,

"No wonder I eat fat and strong. I eat these every day. Can I not get fat?"

"You, it's time to lose weight, or you'll be so fat someday!"

Li Tai smiled hesitantly.

"The child has lived for so many years, but I really haven't heard of anyone who died of fat."

He said with a smile,

"People are alive... the appetite is still to be enjoyed."

"It's the same as your father smoking. Isn't it impossible to quit? It's always less harmful for children to eat than smoking."

"Come on, try this scallop, it tastes really good."

Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh.

Yes.

Everyone has their quirks.

Qingque also just loves to eat, it's just a little fat... This is not a big problem at all!
"Okay... Originally, there are many taboos in my diet, and it was determined by your master back then."

Li Shimin sighed softly,

"Today... let's make an exception! Try this delicacy!"

"Move your chopsticks!"

Kaka.

The father and son came and went, sweeping away the delicious food.

"Qingque... Speaking of which, do you miss your master?"

Li Erpa took a mouthful of rice and said casually,

"Your elder brother misses him terribly..."

Li Tai nodded, then shook his head again.

"The child does miss the master, but misses the queen even more."

He lowered his head and chewed the shrimp head, and said slowly,

"Although Master is not in Chang'an, he is still safe after all. If you want to see him and talk to him, you can go anytime."

"But the queen mother... can only lie there all the time, unable to speak."

"Sometimes, the child misses his mother to the extreme, and even hides in bed at night and cries secretly...Father, you won't laugh at the child, will you?"

Li Shimin put down his chopsticks, his expression moved.

Secretly crying under the covers...

Why didn't he have such an experience?

At this moment, father and son reached a consensus before.

"Qingque...you are such a filial child, that's great. If your mother knows, she will be pleased."

The corners of Li Er's eyes were slightly red, and he comforted softly,

"do not worry,"

"Your mother's queen is getting better and better, and her complexion and breath have recovered a lot in the past few days."

"In time, she will definitely wake up. At that time, our family will be able to reunite. There will be such a day, do you believe it?"

Li Tai nodded firmly!
"Baby believe it!"

"The queen mother will definitely wake up! She must be reluctant to part with father and us!"

These words, without the slightest scheming, are purely from the heart.

No matter what pettiness he has in his heart, his longing and love for his mother is true!

"Yep……"

Li Shimin nodded again and again, and said in an extremely firm way,

"She will definitely wake up, I am waiting for that day!"

Li Tai suddenly said:
"Father, my son wants to take part of the ten thousand taels of silver you allocated just now to build a statue and pray for the queen mother."

"do you think it's OK?"

"If the statue is done well, the child must worship every day!"

Li Shimin was startled.

This kid also engages in metaphysics.

But...why isn't he?When hope is slim, people often place their hopes in metaphysics, even if there is a sustenance, a little comfort is good.

"...Okay, Father agrees."

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said,

"Then father will give you 5000 taels more. You can repair a few statues of gods and Buddhas. When they are completed, father will go worship with you and pray together!"

"Okay?"

Li Tai showed surprise, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Shimin repeatedly.

"Thank you, father, thank you, father!"

"Father is really the best father in the world!"

Li Shimin laughed and raised his hand to help him up.

"Okay, okay, don't kowtow..."

he laughed,
"If it breaks, father will feel distressed."

"You have such filial piety, my heart is so comforted! Qing Que, father now feels more and more that you are the most outstanding and best of my children..."

Li Tai raised his head abruptly.

"Really?"
