Chapter 516: Seeing Li Zhi, I don't know what to say
Li Ke and Asunayun left the palace and followed Wang De to the palace. (_%%) Four years can change a lot. When Li Ke came to Xuanwu Gate, he suddenly found that everything in front of him was so unfamiliar to him. He turned his eyes to Asunayun, and saw that her face was calm, without any excitement or displeasure. Maybe it was the same as my thoughts! Li Ke thought so in his heart. Only the two little guys Li Ren and Li Yi who were following him were full of curiosity about the palace.
Wang De led Li Ke's family of four to the imperial study room of Ganquan Palace. He went in to report to Li Shimin. Li Ke told Li Ren and Li Yi halfway through the etiquette in the palace, and warned them not to forget that although the two children were young, they were smart and shrewd. They recorded what Li Ke said in their hearts.
At this time, Wang De came out and said to Li Ke, "The Emperor asked His Highness to go to the study to reply!"
Li Ke, Ashinayun, Li Ren and Li Yi walked into the imperial study room.
In four years, Li Shimin has grown a lot older, with more wrinkles on his face and more white hair on his temples. What has not changed is that this study room still looks like four years ago, and the furnishings have not changed at all.
"Sons, please see the father!"
"See your daughter-in-law!"
"Li Ren, Li Yi meets Grandpa Emperor!"
Li Ke's family of four politely politely to Li Shimin.
"No need to be polite!" Li Shimin said softly, then smiled at Li Ren and Li Yi, "You two little guys come up and let me take a good look!"
Li Ren and Li Yi walked to Li Shimin. Li Shimin looked at him for a long time before he said with relief, "I miss your father very much! He is so heroic at a young age. He is indeed a good boy in my Li family!"
"Thank you, Grandpa, for your praise!" Li Ren said.
"Huh?" Li Shimin was suddenly shocked. He didn't expect Li Ren to understand the rules so well. He could not exaggerate anyone to say this humble saying just now, but he was surprised when he said it from the four-year-old child. He looked at Li Ke next to him, and showed an intriguing expression in his eyes.
"Li Ren, how do you understand the etiquette in the palace?" Li Shimin asked Li Ren.
"It was my father who called me!" Li Ren said respectfully.
"The father also taught us that we must listen to the emperor's words and not make the emperor's grandfather angry!" Li Yi also spoke.
"What a two well-educated little guy!" Li Shimin was amused by the words of the two children. He continued to ask, "Do you study? What do you read?"
"The father is asking us to read the Analects of Confucius." Li Ren said, and then he and Li Yi recited another sentence from the Analects of Confucius for Li Shimin and explained it to Li Shimin, which made Li Shimin very happy.
After chatting with his two grandsons for a while, Li Shimin then said to Li Ke, "You are doing a good job!"
Li Ke knew what Li Shimin meant, and he was not humble and replied respectfully, "Thank you, Father! An old saying goes: If you don't raise a teacher, it's a fault of your father. If you don't teach strictly, it's a lazy teacher. If your son doesn't learn, it's not appropriate. If you don't learn in your childhood, what does the old age do? As their father, they serve as their teacher and teach them knowledge. This is the responsibility of your son, and your son does not dare to neglect!"
However, when Li Ke said this, Li Shimin fell into deep thought.
Because Li Ke's words mentioned a very unhappy issue in his heart, that is, the issue of raising and education of Li Zhi.
It has been a year since Empress Changsun passed away, and Li Zhi is now seven years old. During this year, Li Zhi was taken care of by Concubine Yang, but Li Shimin often took Li Zhi to his bedroom and asked him to follow him. Many ministers opposed him, believing that he was too fond of his children, but he was unmoved and still kept Li Zhi by his side. However, through comparison with Li Ren and Li Yi just now, Li Shimin suddenly realized that even if Li Zhi was seven years old, he did not look smart like Li Ren and Li Yi in front of him, but instead acted dull.
So, after hearing what Li Ke said just now, he fell into confusion. He didn't know whether it was good or bad for him to keep Li Zhi by his side!
"You are pretty good at talking!" Li Shimin took back his thoughts and cursed at Li Ke. He heard his tone and laughed, but it seemed to be a compliment.
"You guys go down first, you can also meet your mother. I will go to Liangyi Hall later. I will ask you a few questions!" Li Shimin did not bother with this question too much and said to Li Ke.
He didn't want to talk to Li Ke about business affairs in this situation!
"My son is leaving!" Li Ke bowed and took Li Ren and Li Yi out of the imperial study room with Ashinayun.
Seeing the disappearing figure of Li Ke's family of four, Li Shimin said silently. He thought about returning to the issue of Li Zhi he had just thought about, and then he fell into contemplation about Empress Changsun.
When Empress Changsun spoke to Li Shimin for the last time before her death, she said that her youngest son Li Zhi was the one she was most worried about, and she hoped that the emperor would not let him suffer grievances if he lost his mother. At that time, Li Shimin promised that Empress Changsun would personally bring Li Zhi to educate him, raise him, and train him to become a national talent. Empress Changsun passed away sadly after hearing Li Shimin's promise, which put a lot of pressure on Li Shimin's heart. The reason why he brought Li Zhi to him and raised him
Education is also to fulfill the original promise to Empress Changsun. However, after experiencing the conversation with Li Ren and Li Yi just now, he was shaken about his own idea. He felt that Li Zhi was by his side might not be a good thing for him! Suddenly, he had an inexplicable idea in his mind, that was, he wanted Li Zhi to give Li Ke to raise and educate him. However, as soon as this idea appeared in his mind, he immediately rejected it. He felt that sorry for his deceased wife Empress Changsun was shirking his responsibilities and promises.
Therefore, in a daze, when Li Ke and his family left the imperial study, Li Shimin fell into deep thought and remained silent for a long time.
Li Ke and Ashinayun took Li Ren and Li Yi left for half a stick of incense before coming to Qianqiu Palace.
Li Ke returned to Chang'an and came to the palace to meet the saint. Concubine Yang had known this news for a long time. So she ordered the palace maids to wait for Li Ke and his group to wait for them. As long as they were found, the palace maids would report to her immediately.
Therefore, when Li Ke and his group appeared at the gate of Qianqiu Palace, Concubine Yang had already walked out of Qianqiu Palace with the company of Gao Yang and Princess Qinghe.
"Ke'er--"
"Third brother——"
"Mother's wife—"
"The Emperor's Grandmother--"
Concubine Yang helped Li Ke and Ashinayun up and blocked her two grandsons in her arms and was very excited.
Gao Yang and Princess Qinghe rushed into Li Ke's arms and cried bitterly.
"Grandmother, why are you crying?"
"Grandmother of the Emperor, don't cry, Li Ren and his brother will listen to you!" Li Ren's childish voice reached Yang Fei's ears.
Concubine Yang cried with joy. Seeing that her two grandchildren were so well-behaved and obedient, she knew how to comfort others, she wiped her tears and said to Li Ren and Li Yi kindly, "Silly child, how could the emperor's grandmother cry? This is happy, the emperor's grandmother is happy!"
At this time, Li Ke also comforted Princess Gaoyang and Princess Qinghe. They had not seen each other for four years and suddenly wanted to see each other, so they naturally felt wronged. All the feelings of longing burst out, and they cried sadly, but after Li Ke's comfort, the two women burst into tears and laughed.
At this moment, Li Ke found a thin and thin boy with a thin face. He showed a depressed young man walking in front of him and said rudely, "Zhi Nu, I've seen the third brother!"
"Oh--it's my ninth brother?" Li Ke was also surprised. He never expected Li Zhi to appear in Qianqiu Palace and said politely, "Ninth brother, don't be too polite!"
Although he hadn't seen Li Zhi for four years, when the young man in front of him said that his name was Zhinu, Li Ke knew that the young man in front of him was Li Zhi.
In fact, in the fourth year of his stay in Taiyuan, Empress Changsun died of illness and did not come to Chang'an to attend the funeral. Therefore, when he was not sure, Li Zhi was mostly taken care of by Concubine Yang during the year when Empress Changsun died.
