Chapter 3 The Bad News Brought by Li Ke

Although he had doubts in his heart, Li Su immediately got up to greet Li Ke. Back in ancient times, the most uncomfortable thing for him was that there were too many etiquettes, for example, he and Li Ke were brothers, according to Li Su's idea, if Li Ke wanted to come in, it would be right to come in, but Li Su had to go to the living room to greet him in person, Liang Wangfu covers a huge area, and there is no car, motorcycle and other means of transportation, every time he walks over, he can sweat all over his body, and it is extremely inconvenient to come and go, but this is etiquette, even if he is a brother, he can't be negligent.

"Third brother, didn't my father forbid others to visit me, so you are not afraid of your father's punishment?" Li Su entered the living room and asked directly, as soon as he came in, he saw that Li Ke was already sitting there drinking tea, and he had already met Li Ke on the first day of soberness, so he was quite familiar.

Li Su finished talking about the bad news brought by Li Ke in the third chapter and sat on the chair, originally the people of the Tang Dynasty generally knelt and sit, although furniture such as chairs has appeared, but not too many people use them, Li Su, a modern person, is of course not used to kneeling, so let the craftsman play several kinds of furniture in later generations, and the chair is one of them.

"Huh? The style of your bed is very ingenious and novel! Li Ke ignored him, just looked around at the chairs and coffee tables placed in the living room, and said with some surprise. The chair of the Tang Dynasty is also called the Hu bed, which can sit and lie down, so it is generally relatively large and bulky, the chair designed by Li Yu has a backrest and armrests, this kind of chair did not appear until the middle and late Tang Dynasty, plus the materials and workmanship of the chair are very exquisite, so Li Ke of course feels exquisite and novel when he sees it.

"Hehe, a little gadget, if the third brother likes it, I'll ask you to send some more to your house." Li Su said generously.

"Then thank you Sixth Brother!" Li Ke was also not polite, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip and put it directly on the coffee table, which was very convenient.

"Third brother, you haven't answered my question yet?" Li Su saw that his third brother only looked at the furnishings in the living room, and couldn't help but remind him again.

"Oh, today my father is studying our calligraphy, I am lucky to get the first bad news brought by Li Ke in Chapter 3, while my father is happy, I beg my father to allow me to visit you, and my father agreed before I dared to come, otherwise I would not be as bold as you." Li Ke half-jokingly said that he also felt helpless about his own brother: stubborn, domineering, bold, coupled with the doting of his mother, Li Su became a complete and unscrupulous disciple, sometimes he couldn't do anything about him as an elder brother, fortunately, Li Su still respected his own brother, so the relationship between the two was not bad.

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

"Alright, no kidding." Li Ke put down the tea bowl, his face changed a little solemnly, and said, "Actually, I came this time to talk to you about other important things, this news is not a good thing for you!" ”

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

"The concubine of the Xiao family can be your princess, this is to give their Xiao family face, how can they regret the marriage? If you want to regret your marriage, we will regret your marriage, how can you have such a ridiculous idea? Li Ke frowned, and said with a displeased face, his own brother married the daughter of the concubine as the princess, and his own brother did not look good on his face, and he and Concubine Yang had the same opinion in this matter, and they wanted to find an opportunity to withdraw from the marriage.

Li Su heard that it was not a matter of repentance, and his heart was immediately relieved, he got such a beautiful woman as his fiancée for no reason, although in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, it was the concubine of the Xiao family who climbed him, but in Li Su's view, it was just the opposite, after all, he has not yet adapted to the noble status of the current prince, and from time to time he will bring the thoughts of Li Tian in later generations, so he blurted out this ridiculous question.

"So what's the bad news?" Li Su said indifferently.

"You are fourteen years old this year, according to the rules, you have to be an official in a foreign country for a year, I heard the news that my father wants you to go to Yizhou to serve as the governor."

"Yizhou? What a place! Li Su said with a yearning face. Yizhou is the Chengdu of later generations, the land of abundance. Strange noodles, dragon hand, rabbit head and other delicacies, especially Sichuan's world-famous Malatang, but unfortunately now the chili pepper is still in the Americas, and many delicacies can't be made, which makes Li Su, who is extremely spicy, very disappointed, but it doesn't matter, the Sichuan Basin is a good place with rich products, and it is not bad to taste the Sichuan food of the Tang Dynasty. It seems that Li Shimin still loves his unfilial son very much!

"Good place?" Li Ke was completely desperate for his younger brother who didn't learn and didn't know how to learn, and he couldn't even tell the difference between good and bad, so he couldn't help but say loudly, "Yizhou is located in Jiannan Road, the people are fierce and miasma, and the Shu Road is difficult, it will take at least two months to go to Tuyuhun, and it is close to Tuyuhun, although the army has pacified Tuyuhun last year, but its southwest is Tubo, Tubo is now getting stronger and stronger, and there is constant friction with Tuyuhun, and a big war may break out at any time, do you still think it is a good place there?" ”

Li Su was stunned by Li Ke's words, he didn't expect that his cheap father was really ruthless, and he actually sent himself to such a dangerous place, and he had to shed his skin if he didn't die, but it was normal to think about it, Li Shimin was a ruthless man who killed his brother and killed his brother, and it was not strange to be ruthless to his son, such as Li You, the old Wuqi king above him, didn't he let Li Shimin die a few years later? Thinking of this makes Li Su's neck a little cold, it seems that he will have to find a way in the future, and it is the king to please this cheap dad!

"My father is too ruthless, right, I'm only fourteen years old?" Li Su said with a sad and indignant face, "What does the mother concubine mean?" Now he can only count on Concubine Yang to intercede for himself, during this time Li Sufa found that his mother Concubine Yang seems to be very favored by Li Shimin, and many of the troubles he caused in the past were resolved by Concubine Yang pleading with Li Shimin.

"Alas, you are such a big person, how can you count on the protection of your mother everywhere?" Li Ke said with a little hatred, "Although my father loves my mother, you also know my father's character, and my mother can still help you intercede for some irrelevant trivial things, but in this kind of big thing, it is useless for my mother to beg my father several times." And because the queen's condition worsened, the father was in a very bad mood, and the mother didn't dare to do too much, the key is you. ”

"Me? What can I do? It's not like you don't know that my father doesn't like me at all, and it's useless to beg him. Li Su said very depressedly, and now he has completely assumed his identity as the king of Liang.

Li Ke also sighed, his father's attitude towards his younger brother was very clear to him, not only did he not like it, but he could even say that he was very disgusted, so he sent Li Ke to be the governor so far away, obviously because he wanted to be out of sight and out of mind.

"In this way, you write a confession immediately, and I will bring it back and present it to my father, and then I will help you beg to see if I can ask my father to change you to a place closer to Chang'an, so that it will be convenient to come back to visit your mother in the future." Li Ke thought about it, and in the end he could only come up with such a way that was not a solution, although there was little hope of success, but it was better than doing nothing.

"Do you want to write? This one...... This one is a bit of a problem. Li Su said with some stumbling words, in his previous life, he had also studied in college, but when he arrived in Datang, he became a semi-illiterate, and he didn't know most of the traditional characters, let alone a brush, and 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.

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

"You...... You really can't write anymore? Li Ke was startled, stood up and looked Li Su up and down, although he had long known that soul loss would cause many unpredictable sequelae, but he didn't expect it to be so serious, if a prince couldn't even write, it would definitely become another big laughing stock.

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

Wen'er, who was standing on the side, immediately went out to prepare, and after a while, the pen and ink were ready. Although Li Su was very reluctant, under Li Ke's compelling gaze, he could only pick up the wolf brush and dip it in ink, and then tremblingly wrote the simplest words 'person' and 'big' on the paper, these two words are written like this regardless of whether they are simple or complex, and he is not worried about writing mistakes.

"Third brother, when I woke up, I found that I didn't know most of the words, let alone write, these two words were the ones I barely remembered." Li Su handed the words to Li Ke with a flushed face, mainly because the writing was too ugly, and the skimming was twisted and twisted, and the thickness was not distinguished, which was estimated to be the level of a three-year-old child.

Li Ke was most disappointed when he saw Li Su's posture of holding the pen, because Li Su was holding the brush in the same posture as holding a pen, and the posture was not right at all. And when Li Ke saw the two words written by Li Su, he immediately turned from disappointment to despair. Originally, he also planned to write a confession for Li Su himself, and then let him copy it again and then submit it, but now it looks like this method does not work, his father is the most important calligraphy, and he is deeply loved by his father because of his good handwriting.

"Forget it, I'd better think of something else!" Li Ke said weakly. Then he talked to Li Su for a while, and then left the Liang Wangfu unhappy!!
