Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 407

"Elder brother is incompetent. If you can't write well, you can't do martial arts. Not only was he taught by the emperor, but he also had to endure the whispers of the ministers every day. As long as the elder brother had something wrong, those ministers would sue the emperor.

The fourth younger brother is still very powerful. On the one hand, he is busy compiling the huge "Kuo Di Zhi", on the other hand, he is busy recruiting talents and expanding his reputation.After several years of hard work, the results are very obvious.

The Eastern Palace has never welcomed the royal father, but the fourth brother's home has the royal father's visit! "

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian sighed slightly.

Li You on the other side didn't know what to say. What Li Chengqian said just now should be the 14th day of the first lunar month in the [-]th year of Zhenguan. Li Tai's house was full of joy. On this day, a very important guest came to the house. The guest's name was Li Shimin.

Throughout the ages, the emperor's family is the most expensive family in the world, but the first family is very different from ordinary families because of the word "first".What's the difference?The father of an ordinary family visits his son's house and walks in without any nonsense.

Don't talk nonsense, go directly to the topic.

And when the emperor's father of the first family visited his son's house, it was no ordinary visit, but the visit of the emperor, which had special meaning.This means that the emperor's father values ​​you very much and likes you very much, in other words, you are very promising in politics.This is still very important to this person, so this person is not bad, he is very popular.

Moreover, the emperor's father Li Shimin came to the politically promising Li Tai's house. On the surface, he wanted to see his son's living environment, but in fact he wanted to put a few more gold pieces on Li Tai's face. Visiting in person does not come empty-handed, but brings a big red envelope.

After all, the emperor is here in person, so you can't come empty-handed, you have to show face.This red envelope is huge, and the range of rewards is very wide.Li Tai's family lives in Yankangli, Chang'an County, in Chang'an City, so the red envelope that Li Shimin gave Li Tai hit the sky over Chang'an County heavily.

What kind of red envelope is it? Li Shimin announced at Li Qin's home: All four criminals below the death penalty in Chang'an County will be exempted. Thanks to the blessing of King Wei Li Tai, you are now free; the residents of Yankangli will be exempted from all taxes this year. All the income is your own, and the government does not collect a cent; reward the officials of Wei Wangfu and the elderly in Yankang according to their ranks, and thanks to the blessing of Wei Wang Li Tai, each of you will have a red envelope.

The announcement is over.Li Tai was poured with the emperor's wine, his father loved him so much, how could Li Tai not have Lian Yi in his heart?This father is good, but the emperor's father is really different.

This is actually unfair to Li Chengqian!

"Brother, don't worry, you are the eldest son, your position is unbreakable." Li You looked at Li Chengqian and comforted him.

"Yes, Gu is the eldest son, but Gu is also a cripple." Li Chengqian stretched out his lame leg and said, "Fifth Brother, have you ever seen that dynasty that used a cripple as the emperor?"

In these words, Li Chengqian's deep helplessness was revealed.

Li You was slightly taken aback. Once upon a time, Li You always felt that Li Chengqian was stupid, but in fact, if he stood in Li Chengqian's position, he would have his own helplessness.

Only two emperors in history became emperors with disabilities.

One is Zhu Gaochi of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that Zhu Gaochi needs four guards to support him to walk, and he has leg problems. Zhu Di doesn’t like Zhu Gaochi. Compared with Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Di prefers his second son Zhu Gaoxu who is similar to himself. The throne passed to Zhu Gaoxi.

However, although he was not loved by his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, as a grandfather, liked Zhu Gaochi very much, and often took him by his side to educate him personally.In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Zhu Gaoxu is too exaggerated, and has a violent personality, so he is not suitable to be in charge of the life and death of a country.

When Zhu Di launched the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Gaochi fought with Zhu Di and once rescued Zhu Di from danger.Although Zhu Gaochi did not fight with the army, his tasks in the rear are also very heavy. First, he needs to prevent Emperor Jianwen from making trouble behind his back, and he also needs to be responsible for the supply of food and grass.

In this respect, even if Zhu Di didn't like him, he wouldn't dare to say anything to him.

However, the main reason why Zhu Gaochi was able to become emperor smoothly was because Zhu Di liked his son Zhu Zhanji very much.Strange to say, although Zhu Di doesn't like Zhu Gaochi, he likes Zhu Gaochi's son Zhu Zhanji very much.

Li Chengqian also has a son named Li Huan, but unfortunately, Li Shimin doesn't like Li Chengqian's son, what he likes is Li Tai's son named Li Xin, Li Xin was fostered in the palace since he was a child, and has a deep relationship with Li Shimin .

There is also Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty, who was also disabled and had leg problems. In the 5000-year-old dynasty in China, very few people became emperors with disabilities. Some of them were also due to some special circumstances.

What's more, in the Tang Dynasty at this time, there is no lesson learned from the disabled emperor. Of course, Li Chengqian, the prince with a disabled body, lives in trembling every day. Facing his fourth brother who has been biting him behind him, what do you make Li Chengqian think? .

"Okay, let's not talk about these things. Coming to Fifth Brother alone, it's like seeing a real brother, so I talked a lot, I hope Fifth Brother doesn't mind." Li Chengqian shook his head with a smile, and he also I don't know what's wrong with me today, maybe it's because I saw this Jiangnan water town and felt a kind of homely warmth, so I talked a little too much.

"Brother, what are you talking about? This is the trust that Brother has placed in Fifth Brother. It's too late for Fifth Brother to thank you!" Li You quickly replied.

"That's good, that's good!" Li Chengqian smiled, and followed the carriage and continued to walk forward. At this time, Li Chengqian said slightly: "This time I came to Fifth Brother, there is actually one thing that is hard to talk about."

Li Chengqian looked at Li You with some embarrassment.

Li You's heart was pounding, he had already expected that Li Chengqian must have something to do when he came to Dunhuafang, Li You was worried that Li Chengqian was here to draw him into his camp.

It is absolutely impossible for Li You to agree. Of course, as long as Li Chengqian doesn't pull himself into his camp, everything will be fine.

"Brother. Between us brothers, if there is anything you can't say, tell me!" Although Li You was worried, he still seemed very enthusiastic.

It may be that Li You's enthusiasm gave Li Chengqian courage, and finally Li Chengqian paused and said: "I borrowed money and I borrowed a lot, at least [-] yuan!"

"Twenty thousand coins?"

As soon as he heard about borrowing money, Li Youxuan finally felt relieved. To be honest, borrowing money should be the best result. It would be easy to get rid of Li Chengqian with some money.

There was a burst of joy in my heart, but Li You showed a trace of worry on the surface: "Brother, I can lend you money, not to mention borrowing, even if I give it to you, the fifth brother is also willing, but the fifth brother also wants to ask you for a favor." .”

"Speak!" Li Chengqian heard that Li You had conditions, and asked Li You to say it without hesitation, because at this time, being able to borrow [-] Guan is what Li Chengqian needs most now.

It's just that what Li Chengqian didn't expect was that Li You didn't make any excessive demands, but hoped that Li Chengqian would keep the [-] yuan of money a secret.

"Brother, you also know that fifth brother's current situation is not very good, fourth brother is also very angry with me, I have offended Princess Gaoyang, and Fang Yiai is also eyeing me.

So I can lend money to my eldest brother, and my eldest brother will pay it back when he has money.

It's just that I hope that my elder brother can keep it secret. The fifth younger brother only has one request. As long as my elder brother agrees, I can bring back the [-] guan immediately! "

Li Chengqian was really touched by what he said, he suddenly felt that his fifth younger brother was living as hard as himself, being restrained in various ways, but as a prince, he still had to look at the faces of Gao Yang and Fang Yiai.

"Fifth brother, thank you very much, don't worry, I took your money, no one will know, and I will definitely pay back the money, and one day, Gu will make you never look at other people's faces again." .”

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian got out of the carriage straight away, and then got into his own carriage. Don't think that Li Chengqian slipped away after borrowing money. In fact, Li Chengqian was a little sad.

Li You's words moved Li Chengqian a little.

After getting into his own carriage, Du He also got into the carriage. After seeing Li Chengqian, Du He hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, have you borrowed the money?"

Li Chengqian eased his mood slightly and said: "Twenty thousand guan, the fifth brother said that it can be delivered to our East Palace today."

"Wow, His Royal Highness King Qi is really rich."

Looking at Du He who was laughing, Li Chengqian said slightly: "It's not a matter of having money or not. The fifth brother's life is also difficult. He is actually very similar to me. He always depends on people's faces, always They all live in confusion.

Even he is worse than Gu, the former bastard now wants to be a good person, and I don't know how many people will laugh and insult him.

My fifth brother and I are the same kind of people, but I will come out soon, and my fifth brother is still in a state of confusion, but that's okay, as long as I can come out, I will definitely bring my fifth brother out.

Doho! "

"The humble minister is here!" Du He hurriedly bowed.

"Today Gu made the first imperial decree here. If one day Gu can ascend to the Great Treasure, then Li Yougu will be named Xiaoyao King. Gu hopes that he can live a life free from worries. This is the promise Gu gave him."

"Your Highness is merciful!" Du He quickly complimented.

"It's not kindness. It's just sympathy, that's all!" Li Chengqian glanced at the carriageway where Li You left: "It's not easy for him!"

After finishing this sentence, Li Chengqian showed a calm expression again and said: "You can go look for Lan Lian now, and tell Lan Lian's people that money is not a problem, as long as Li Tai can be stabbed to death.

Then Gu can give everything. "

"Yes, Your Highness. I will take care of it immediately. As long as Lan Lian makes a move, the king of Wei will be in danger."

"Very good. Let's go to the General Hou's mansion now. We have to start working sometime. Once Li Tai dies, it's when we start something. I don't want to wait any longer. Father's age is at its peak. If he doesn't push him, He won't come down."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian said coldly: "Tai Chi Palace is suitable for the elderly, father!"
