Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 5: The brother is not friendly, but the younger brother is respectful?
Changsun Wuji told Li Er everything he had seen and heard in the Eastern Palace.

Li Er didn't speak for a long time.

"Assistant, do you think I was too harsh on Cheng Qian?"

After Li Er finished speaking, he immediately added: "But he is the crown prince, isn't it right for him to be strict?"

Changsun Wuji was thinking about how to answer.

Logically speaking, the injury on the prince should not have happened.

This would never happen in any major family, but it happened to the most honorable crown prince.

It cannot be explained away by a harsh word.

"Your Majesty's expectations for the Crown Prince are obvious to all."

"But educating the prince cannot be the same as educating ordinary people. We still need to pay attention to methods and approaches."

Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment and said.

What he said was just nonsense. No matter how he said it, it was right and he couldn't be wrong.

“But how to educate?”

"You didn't see it today. The prince treats me like an enemy, but I am his father."

Li Er was very sad, and felt a dull pain in his heart whenever he thought about it.

Teach your children.

But he raised such a rebellious son.

"His Majesty."

Chang Sun Wuji smiled bitterly and said, "You are making it difficult for me."

"I can't even teach my own rebellious children, so how can I teach them?"

Li Er sighed and said, "Every family has its own problems."

That's your family's hardship.

Changsun Wuji thought to himself, now that things have come to this, can I still say that I have educated my children well?

This is just a slap in the face.

He was not clear about the emperor's thoughts. Serving the emperor was like serving a tiger. If he was not careful, he would feel resentful and think that the emperor was mocking him for his poor parenting skills.

Changsun Wuji did not stay long and took his leave on his own initiative.

After leaving, Li Er summoned the imperial physician.

After some inquiries, he asked the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine for him.

"Go, pass on my order that there will be no restrictions on the expenditures of the Eastern Palace."

……

"No limit on the expenses of the Eastern Palace?"

Li Chengqian was quite delighted.

Ok.

This show of begging for pity finally paid off.

After being whipped three times, he began to think about how to use this incident to maximize his profits.

Changsun Wuji's arrival was beyond his expectations, but it also gave him a boost.

If you, Li Er, still have any conscience, you should show some expression.

Obviously, this was a conciliatory move made by Li Er because he knew he was in the wrong.

After all, Li Er was also afraid.

I'm afraid he will do something extreme and it will be too late to regret.

"You can sleep peacefully and recover from your injuries now."

Li Chengqian thought of the joy in the midst of hardship and began to plan for the future.

at the same time.

Wude Hall.

Li Tai paced back and forth excitedly.

"Okay."

"That was a great fight. Why didn't Father beat the cripple to death?"

"Wouldn't it be fair for me then?"

Li Tai kept muttering to himself, his eyes shining.

The Eastern Palace is like a sieve; nothing can be hidden.

The King of Wei has cultivated more than one or two spies in the Eastern Palace.

Any news can be transmitted at the first time.

Otherwise, how would he know that the prince had a male favorite?
"However, Father, why did you relax the restrictions on the expenditure of the Eastern Palace?"

This is what Li Tai was dissatisfied with.

Originally, he surpassed Donggong in this respect and had a head start on him.

Now, both sides are on the same level again. Wei Ting pondered and said, "Your Highness, I will go to visit the prince tomorrow."

"what?"

Fatty Li asked in surprise: "Why?"

"Does the king still want to stick his warm face to that cripple's cold butt?"

"Visiting the prince, what's the point of that?"

Who doesn't know that the relationship between the King of Wei and the Eastern Palace is delicate?

Wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting inferiority if I went to visit the prince at this moment?
"Your Highness, please listen to me."

Wei said confidently, "Visiting the prince is the proper thing to do."

"Your Majesty has sent a decree to the Eastern Palace. Perhaps he knows that he has acted too harshly and feels guilty about it, so he wants to make it up to the Eastern Palace."

"This is a subtle gesture that will not hurt your majesty's dignity, but will also appease the East Palace."

"Your Highness, think about it, if His Majesty had no intention of making amends, would he have granted the Eastern Palace an imperial decree for no reason?"

Li Tai nodded slowly, feeling a little unhappy and dissatisfied with his father.

You hit me if you want.

Why do I still feel indebted and want to make up for it?

Shouldn't you just let it go and give me all your love?
"So, since His Majesty has this attitude, Your Highness should go and visit him even more."

Li Tai frowned and thought, not quite understanding the meaning.

Anyway, he was not happy to visit the cripple.

Wei Ting glanced at Li Tai and knew what he was thinking. "We are showing weakness to the enemy, and at the same time, we are also showing a friendly and respectful attitude towards each other."

"Your Highness, please think about it. When His Majesty sees that Your Highness respects and cares about the Crown Prince so much, will His Majesty be more impressed with Your Highness's character and temperament and feel relieved?"

Hear the words.

Li Tai's eyes lit up and he suddenly understood.

"I understand. I understand, Your Majesty."

"If I don't go to visit the cripple, it would be wrong and I would lose points with my father."

"I knew the prince was being whipped, but I didn't go to see him. Instead, I pretended I knew nothing. Father would think I was a cold-blooded person with no brotherly love."

"If I go, my father will think that I am a man of love and loyalty who cares about the relationship between brothers."

"This is brotherly love and respect."

Li Tai is not a fool, he understands things quickly.

Everyone knows how their family got the throne.

Therefore, Li Er values ​​the relationship between his sons the most.

I’m afraid the Xuanwu Gate incident will happen again.

Li Tai took two steps and suddenly said, "But what if the lame man doesn't appreciate it?"

Wei Ting immediately laughed and said, "That's perfect."

"Your Highness is respectful as a younger brother, but the Crown Prince is unfriendly as an older brother."

"The elder brother is not friendly, but the younger brother is respectful. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell who is better at a glance."

"I really hope that the prince will do this."

"Hahaha!"

Li Tai laughed out loud, feeling extremely happy. All the reluctance in his heart disappeared. "Okay, okay, that's great."

"This is an open conspiracy. The lame man has to accept it even if he doesn't want to."

"I want to see how that cripple will respond tomorrow."

Wei Ting smiled and said, "Your Highness, we should make a big show of it so that everyone inside and outside the palace can see it."

"Especially to let His Majesty know."

"So, we must make the visit ceremony grand and solemn."

"The prince is injured, so don't be stingy with the precious medicinal materials."

"Your Majesty has decreed that the Eastern Palace has no limit on expenses, but we still have to give money and jewelry."

"Firstly, it shows how much your Highness cares about the Crown Prince."

"Secondly, it is to let the civil and military officials see your highness's strong strength. Of course, it also has the meaning of suppressing the Eastern Palace."

After Wei Ting’s analysis.

Li Tai's mind was filled with scenes of him visiting the cripple, being praised by the court and the public, and his father the emperor's satisfied compliments.

"it is good."

"That's it."

"This is my command."

"You must give this king's good brother a generous gift."
