"Sixth brother, thank you for your hospitality today, but I always have something I want to ask for my brother." When Li Chengqian said this, he glanced up at Li Su, and then continued, "You are the most favored son of your father, and what your brother committed in Chang'an is the crime of rebellion, but since I arrived in Dengzhou, you have always treated my brother's family with courtesy, which makes me a little puzzled, if you are someone else, whether it is public or private, you will definitely draw a line with me, let alone such warm hospitality?" ”

Hearing Li Chengqian's question, Li Su laughed and said, "Big brother, big brother, don't you understand?" Although the father is very annoyed by the wrong things you have done, but after all, the nature of father and son, even if the son makes a big mistake, it is also the son of the father, with the character of the father, he will not really be angry with you at all, but as the emperor, he must make a gesture of reward and punishment, so he demoted you from Chang'an, but I bet that as long as you stay outside for a few years, there will definitely be a day when you will return to Chang'an! ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Li Chengqian also felt a shock in his spirit, since the rebellion, his mind has been muddy, he didn't think carefully about the people and things around him during this time, and now after Li Su's reminder, Li Chengqian suddenly found that although he committed the big crime of rebellion, his father still didn't want to kill him, and even sent him to the third brother Li Ke, although he was far away from Chang'an, but it didn't mean to keep him away from Chang'an, the place of right and wrong.

Thinking of these arrangements made by his father Li Shimin for himself, Li Chengqian suddenly felt ashamed, and his tears couldn't stop flowing. At the same time, he whimpered and said, "I...... I'm sorry for my father and mother, and I'm sorry for the people of Datang! ”

saw Li Chengqian crying bitterly. Li Su also sighed, maybe until today. Li Chengqian can be regarded as truly repenting of his mistakes, but now the other party's mood is depressed enough, if this self-blame is added, it is estimated that he will die earlier than in history, if he is not mistaken, it seems that after Li Chengqian was demoted, he died of depression not long after.

Thinking of the women and children of Li Chengqian's family, Li Su felt that he needed to explain the other party, after all, the two did not have any big grudges. Besides, Li Chengqian has fallen to this point, it is impossible to make a comeback in the future, out of morality, even if the other party is a stranger, it is worth saving, not to mention that the other party is still his eldest brother.

Thinking of this, Li Su deliberately sighed and said: "Actually, although you are at fault in this matter, big brother, but in the court, how can there be any real right and wrong, big brother, your situation at that time and the younger brother also have some understanding." If you really talk about it, your father, you, and the fourth brother are all at fault, and the reason why you made this decision is actually just to protect yourself! ”

Li Chengqian heard the words 'self-preservation' uttered by Li Su. The whole person trembled, and his face seemed to have found a confidant, and he grabbed Li Su's hand very excitedly and said, "Sixth brother." I didn't expect that the most considerate brother was you, and everyone said that I was a fool and a bastard. But how did they know that the fourth brother was connived at by his father. I have coveted my crown prince for a long time, and my father is partial to him everywhere, if I don't do that, then what awaits me will probably be abolished, and I may even be unable to save my family's life! ”

Li Su was just casually comforting, but he didn't expect to say the grievance in Li Chengqian's heart all of a sudden, so the other party showed such a gaffe. However, Li Su, who was grabbed by Li Chengqian's hand, felt goosebumps all over his body, because he suddenly thought that his eldest brother's sexual orientation seemed to be a little abnormal, although he was a brother among the two, it also made Li Su feel very uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan quietly withdrew his hand, and then diverted the topic and said: "But big brother, don't blame the fourth brother too much, although he was pushing you everywhere at the beginning, he just wanted to become the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but in my opinion, the brothers who are staying in Chang'an now may become the next prince, but only the fourth brother can't!" ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Li Chengqian glanced at him in surprise, and asked very puzzled: "How is this possible, my father usually favors you and the fourth brother the most, but now you are not in Chang'an, and you are unwilling to inherit the throne, so the fourth brother has become the only candidate, and now who can stop him from becoming the next crown prince?" ”

After hearing this, Li Su shook his head again and again, and said to Li Chengqian with a smile: "Big brother, who told you that the favored prince will definitely become the prince, the matter of establishing a prince is related to the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, although the father loves the fourth brother, but the fourth brother himself is not angry, and the relationship with the ministers is bad, coupled with his character, hehe, even if the father favors him again, he has to plan for the fate of the Tang Dynasty and our brothers, so I bet that my father will never make the fourth brother the prince." ”

In the end, especially when Li Tai's character was spoken, there was a trace of weird disdain on his face, Li Su had heard a famous saying in his previous life, called character determines fate. Although he doesn't know if this sentence is really correct, but it is the most suitable for Li Tai, with Li Tai's arrogant and despised nature, and even his own brothers don't get along well, if this kind of person can achieve something big, then there is really a ghost.

However, Li Chengqian didn't believe Li Su's words very much, but said with a wry smile: "Sixth brother, you can't help but underestimate the favor of the fourth brother, although his temperament is a little arrogant, but in the eyes of his father, this is not a big deal, so unless you go back to Chang'an, no one will be able to stop him from ascending to the throne of the crown prince." ”

Li Su shook his head again and again after hearing this, and just wanted to say something more, when he suddenly saw someone running in at the corner gate of the courtyard, and when he saw Li Su in the pavilion, he immediately rushed over. It wasn't until the other party ran close that Li Su saw that it was Yang Jiu who had not been in Dengzhou for a long time, and now that Mei Niang was pregnant, Mr. Yang temporarily managed the intelligence system on her behalf, and Yang Jiu and his brothers were also in the management of intelligence.

I saw Yang Jiu come to the pavilion, first saluted Li Su and Li Chengqian, and then took out a letter from his arms and said: "Your Royal Highness, this is a handwritten letter from Your Majesty, which has just been sent from Chang'an, please enlighten Your Majesty in person!" ”

Hearing that it was his father Li Shimin's letter, Li Su didn't feel anything, after all, he was the other party's favorite son, and father and son often contacted each other through letters. However, Li Chengqian next to him sighed secretly in his heart, he grew so big, but he had never received a letter from his father, and looking at the appearance of the sixth brother, it seemed to be very ordinary, which made him feel a little lost. However, Li Chengqian then thought about it, he has been staying by his father's side since he was a child, where is he writing letters? Thinking of this, he was immediately relieved.

Li Jiu took the letter casually, removed the fire paint on it, and pulled out the letter inside to read, while Yang Jiu immediately withdrew from the pavilion and left. However, when Li Su first saw the content of the letter, he was immediately stunned, glanced at Li Chengqian with strange eyes, and then lowered his head and read the letter.

Li Chengqian also noticed that the expression on Li Su's face was strange, and he also glanced at himself, and immediately said: "Sixth brother, did my father mention me in the letter?" ”

Li Su smiled after hearing this, handed the letter in his hand to Li Chengqian and said: "Big brother, look at it yourself, my father not only mentioned you, but also mentioned the matter we discussed just now, although my father has not made up his mind yet, but the fourth brother's dream of the prince is probably going to be shattered." ”

Li Chengqian took the letter suspiciously, and just after reading the beginning, the whole person fell to the ground at once, and cried bitterly: "Father, the son-in-law has failed your teachings, and the son-in-law is not filial!" Unfilial~"

Seeing Li Chengqian crying bitterly, Li Su didn't immediately persuade him, after all, the other party's mood was too depressed, and it was not a good thing to vent at this time.

The main reason why Li Chengqian lost his temper and cried bitterly was because Li Shimin instructed Li Su in the letter that when Li Chengqian's family arrived in Dengzhou, let him entertain each other well, and even gave very detailed advice in the letter, saying that Li Chengqian's health was not good, the child was small, and the sea was stormy, so Li Cheng arranged a sturdy sea ship and sent Li Chengqian's family to Shanghai safely.

Li Chengqian always felt that his father Li Shimin didn't care about him, but only now did he realize that his father cared about him no less than other brothers, but in a different way, but unfortunately he understood it too late!

When Li Chengqian almost vented the guilt in his heart, Li Su helped the other party up, comforted Li Chengqian a few words, and finally calmed him down. However, when Li Chengqian saw the content of the letter, he couldn't help but say to Li Su with envy: "Sixth brother, you are really trusted by your father, and you don't shy away from even this kind of thing, and even ask your opinion. ”

Li Shimin's letter said two things, the first is to take care of Li Chengqian's family, and the second is to establish the prince, Li Shimin not only told him about his temptation of Li Tai, but also did not hide the eldest grandson Wuji's support for Li Zhi, and at the same time told him that he was worried that Li Zhi's character was cowardly, which would lead to the loss of power, hoping that Li Shi could give him a correct advice.

However, when Li Su heard Li Chengqian's envy, he showed a wry smile and said: "Big brother, this is a job that offends people, no matter what advice I give to my father, I'm afraid I will offend a bunch of people." ”

Hearing Li Su's complaint, Li Chengqian suddenly felt happy, pointed at him and laughed: "Sixth brother, it's no wonder that others, who made you perform so well in front of your father, but except for you, I'm afraid there is no one else who can help your father except for you, hahahaha~"

Seeing that Li Chengqian could laugh so loudly in the face of the matter of Lichu, Li Cheng finally put his mind at ease, judging from Li Chengqian's current performance, he finally untied the knot of his heart that he was demoted from Chang'an, otherwise he would never have laughed so happily.
