Chapter 9: The Storm of Intercession
Li Chengqian really wanted to see what was going on with Fei Baiti, but the 8-year-old small body was not much taller than the table, coupled with the location, he only saw a black mess on the table, and he couldn't see what it looked like.
Then Li Chengqian's afterglow caught a glimpse of Comrade Lao Li and the eldest grandson holding hands together, and a particularly embarrassing feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.
I wanted to open my mouth to resign, but at the moment I opened my mouth, I was glared back into my stomach by a pair of phoenix eyes from the eldest grandson queen, knowing that the old lady might have something to say, so she simply kept silent, and the pestle was used as wood on the edge of the table, ignoring the father's glaring gaze.
The babies in the palace are under the jurisdiction of Empress Changsun before they become adults, so Li Chengqian thinks that there is no need to consider his father's opinion at this time, and then touch the old lady's mold.
"Second brother, Gao Ming is also worried about the king this time, I don't know how the second brother wants to reward?" The eldest grandson, who was talking about calligraphy with Comrade Lao Li, saw that the time was almost up, and if he held it back, he was afraid that Li Chengqian would be in danger of being beaten by Lao Li's stick, so he opened his mouth to lead the topic to him.
"Hmm. Cheng Qian's performance this time is good, but as a prince, you really shouldn't think about these strange tricks and tricks, but for the sake of filial piety, I promise you to make a request yourself. Lao Li just wanted to send Li Chengqian away quickly, so he didn't want to reward anything at all, and asked him what he wanted.
Of course Li Chengqian wants money, how can he be a gentleman without money.
But when the words came to her mouth, she found that the old lady's slender fingers had been pressed on a cyan inkstone on the table, and her heart moved at the moment, and she realized a little.
At that moment, he bowed down and said boldly: "Father, the son has no other requirements, I just want to ask you to exempt the second brother Qingque from punishment." ”
"Oh? Do you really think so? Speaking of business, Lao Li's face changed, and he couldn't see a trace of joy, anger and sorrow, so that people couldn't guess what he was thinking.
"It's ......." Li Chengqian's voice froze, and he said in his heart, of course I don't think so.
Peeked at the old lady, hoping to get some more instructions, but found that the old lady had turned her face to the side and stopped looking at herself.
There's no way, let's make it up, anyway, future generations will watch these palace fighting dramas.
"Back to my father, what happened to the second brother this time is that the son did not fulfill his brother's responsibility, please punish my father." Li Chengqian is gambling, betting that Li Shimin will not really be angry with him, and the old lady is on the side, so he should not let himself suffer.
From the beginning of the founding of the Tang Empire, it was about benevolence and filial piety, and brothers, friends and brothers were of course included in benevolence and filial piety. It is because Li Chengqian thinks that showing his generosity as an elder brother in front of Lao Li should not be too much trouble.
"yes, then what is the responsibility of your brother?" Li Shimin continued to ask quietly.
"Father, son, son, son just wanted to make a joke with the second brother yesterday, teasing him, I don't want him to be mistaken for true, this matter is the son's thoughtlessness, so if you want to punish, please also ask the father to punish the son, exempt the second brother from punishment."
Half-truth, this is Li Chengqian's answer, he knows that Li Tai must talk about last night's incident if he comes to complain, so the poem he said is from Kong Yingda must have been known by Lao Li, what is missing is the purpose of saying this sentence at that time, if Lao Li thinks that he is framing Li Tai, he is afraid that the consequences will be unpredictable.
"So you really wrote the verse?" Li Shimin held back for so long, and finally asked the doubts in his heart.
Li Shimin does not object to his sons fighting with each other, after all, there is only one throne, and there are so many sons, it is really unreliable to say that no one cares about this.
But even if you want to fight, you should put it on the bright side, don't engage in conspiracy.
If the poems recited by Li Chengqian yesterday were really composed by him, then it was Li Tai who wanted to harm him first, and it was reasonable for him to make some counterattacks.
But if the poem was not written by Li Chengqian, then it may be that Li Chengqian wanted to harm Li Tai first, and such a mind must not exist in a future prince.
"Back to my father, it was indeed done by his sons." Li Chengqian was a little helpless, but he blew it out, and he had to take it head-on.
"So, within a pillar of incense, make another one for your mother." If you do a good job, I will forgive Li Tai's mistakes, otherwise you, a deceitful minister, will not have a chance to care about your second brother. Come on, light incense. No one knows what Li Shimin thinks and why he did such an unkind thing.
But Li Shimin had his own ideas, Li Tai was punished, if there was no Li Chengqian to blame him, the ghosts would not believe it, but there must be a reason to punish Li Chengqian, so he came up with this method to teach Li Chengqian a small lesson.
As for what would happen if Li Chengqian really composed a poem at the time of a pillar of incense?
An 8-year-old child can become a poem in a pillar of incense, with such a son, what is he Li Shimin not satisfied with? What's the harm in rewarding him once?
The emperor's mind is really unpredictable.
"Huh?!" Li Chengqian was taken aback by his own Lao Tzu's words, the crime of bullying the king, should it be so serious? secretly glanced at the old lady, but found that the old lady didn't say anything at all, but just gave herself an encouraging look.
For composing poems, Li Chengqian is not worried, as a modern person, who can't memorize a few Tang poems and Song Ci, but something is wrong with Comrade Li, don't they all say that he is a good emperor, and he misses the old love, how can he be like this to his own son?
But thinking about it, the poem still has to be copied, half of the incense has been burned, and a pillar of incense can't be copied, and the consequences are unpredictable.
The fake model pretended to be for a long time, and when a pillar of incense was about to burn out, Li Chengqian finally opened his mouth and recited:
The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt.
Before leaving, I am afraid that I will return late.
Whoever says an inch is careless, and he will be rewarded with three springs.
"Okay, a good one who is careless and careless, and he will be rewarded with three Chunhui." Looking at the incense that was about to be extinguished, Li Shimin's eyes were originally full of disappointment, but sure enough, his expectations were too high.
But who knew that the sudden peak loop transfer of the famous Tang Emperor was inexplicable, raised his hand and grabbed the brush beside him, and with his memory, almost with a wave, he stole the wanderer Yin stolen by Li Chengqian on the paper.
Empress Changsun also had a glint in her eyes, looking at the handwriting written in a beautiful flying white font on the table, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that this poem was extraordinary, and its artistic conception far exceeded the poem "Drying Old Clothes" that she recited to herself in the harem yesterday.
"Yes, my son is good." Li Shimin is also a well-known figure in terms of knowledge, and the quality of the poems can naturally be seen, and his own kid can make such poems within a pillar of incense, but I am afraid that only a few top figures in the entire Tang Dynasty can be compared.
"Second brother, since Gao Ming has met your requirements, you can see ......." Empress Eldest Sun glanced at Li Chengqian, who was nervous on the side, and pulled Li Shimin's sleeve and said.
"Oh, yes, yes. Someone came, went to inform King Wei, and said that his lockdown had been revoked. After being reminded by the eldest grandson, Li Shimin also remembered what he had just promised, and immediately withdrew Li Tai's grounding order, just looking at Li Chengqian, who was standing on the side with his head drooping, and began to worry again.
