"Understanding in your heart" is one thing, and "living in a confused way" is another.

People who can reach this level have great wisdom. Those who have not been slapped by countless slaps in the face in cruel real life probably cannot survive this level. So when someone says such pretentious words in a pretentious tone, you might as well look at the essence through the phenomenon and see if there are traces of bruises and bruises on the cold and arrogant face after being slapped. If so, don’t laugh at him, everyone will be beaten, he will be beaten earlier.

In this regard, perhaps even Li Shimin cannot see through it.

A man in his twenties talks about life philosophy with a man in his forties, and he makes this man in his forties stunned. I have to say that the picture is a bit weird.

Li Shimin was the first to notice the strange atmosphere. After coming to his senses, he suddenly realized that he was embarrassed. He glared at him angrily, and then rationally changed the subject.

"Zizheng, although you are young, I have always treated him as a national sect. Now Chengqian has been deposed, and the remaining parties in the court have been removed from the root. There are hundreds of officials who have been dismissed from office and exiled from the Shangshu Province. It is a troublesome to deal with them. These are not only *******, but also have a lot of connections with all the families. As for the treatment of them, a large number of positions in the court were vacant. If they want to make the government prosperous, there must be people doing it. So many people immediately thought about these positions, such as the powerful, the clan, and the prince. Among them, the most Wei Wang Tai'an... "

Li Su was startled and looked up and stared at Li Shimin's face carefully.

Li Shimin had no expression on his face and could not see any clues, but just narrated in a gentle tone.

"...It's very interesting. I just got rid of a prince, and these princes couldn't sit still. The East Palace was hanging in the air, and the court officials were coveting. The princes were moving up and down, which made me open my eyes..." Li Shimin's eyes showed a sharp look and sneered: "You can tell how many princes have come to me in the past few days to show their respect and play the role of a filial son?"

Li Su smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know, but I guess that in addition to the young princes and His Highness the King of Jin, I'm afraid there are many of them?"

Li Shimin looked at him with great interest: "How do you know that King Zhi of Jin did not come to me to show his respect?"

Because the current Emperor Gaozong is no different from a salted fish without ideals...

Li Su couldn't help but tell the truth in his heart, but he didn't dare to say this in front of Li Shimin. So Li Su had to say: "I was ordered to pacify the Jinyang Rebellion and share the worries with His Highness the King of Jin all the way. I had a good relationship with His Highness, so I understand His Highness's character. His Highness is smart, kind-hearted, filial, humble, polite, and polite. He has a gentlemanly spirit at a young age. Therefore, I think His Highness will definitely not make flattery. His filial piety to His Highness comes from the heart."

He took the opportunity to say a few good things to the little brat. Li Su's stomach was sore and there were signs of vomiting.

For these shameless flattery words, I would be sorry for my conscience if I don’t blackmail the little kids for more than 5,000 stakes in the future.

When Li Zhi mentioned, Li Shimin couldn't help but look relieved, and the coldness just now diluted a lot.

"Zhi Nu lost his mother since he was young, and I personally took him by my side to raise him. Among these unscrupulous princes, he is the only one who satisfies me the most. What is a pity..." Li Shimin showed regret and shook his head and said, "It's a pity that Zhi Nu has intelligence, kindness, courage and determination, but lacks enough. He often has a cowardly and hesitant attitude. If he is a king, there may be something wrong and it will ruin the country."

Li Su's heart sank. He didn't expect that Li Shimin did not have a high opinion of Li Zhi. His son was his son and the prince was his prince. Obviously, Li Shimin clearly distinguished clearly. No matter how much he loved Li Zhi, his son, because of his personality, Li Shimin seemed to have never considered the possibility of making Li Zhi the prince.

In the future, Li Zhi’s path of fighting for the prince will not be easy.

He was full of worry and wanted to speak. But Li Su didn't say a word.

It is really impossible to say that Li Shimin can take the initiative to talk to his ministers about such sensitive topics, but it is best for him not to show his heartfelt intentions to talk to the emperor. This is like committing suicide, and it is a great death.

Of course, none of the ministers who could get along with the emperor were stupid, and so was Li Su. So when Li Shimin talked about the topic of the crown prince, Li Su kept silent and didn't say a word, but just listened with a respectful expression.

Li Shimin rubbed his forehead that was painful and sighed: "...I can't say some words to the auxiliary machine, I can't say to Xuanling. I don't know why today, but I just told you. Maybe in my heart, you are the cleanest among all court officials,... Maybe you have unclean places, but you don't have the intention to harm others. This is enough. I have never expected the water in the court to be too clear."

Li Su's heart skipped a beat, her face suddenly turned pale, her eyes stared at Li Shimin's face, and her mind quickly turned to try to analyze whether this was an unintentional word or a meaningful meaning.

If you talk about your secrets, it is indeed something shameful. Li Su realized a long time ago that the power under Wang Zhi was a double-edged sword, which could hurt others and himself. At this moment, Li Su was in a mess. He didn't know if Li Shimin knew the existence of this power, or was completely unaware of it?

************************************************************************************

The moment he left Tai Chi Palace and stepped out of the palace gate, Li Su was shocked, what exactly did Li Shimin summon him into the palace today? Did he deliberately make chicken soup for him?

The emperor's thoughts are really hard to guess. Perhaps it is not as complicated as he imagined. Li Shimin is also a human being. He does not require reasons or conspiracy to do anything. Maybe he just wants to chat with someone, that's it.

Li Su didn't think much about it, and along the way, he was only thinking about whether he had revealed any flaws in the past few years and whether Wang Zhi's power had fallen into Li Shimin's eyes.

After returning home, I still didn't understand this problem, so the servant came to report that His Highness King of Jin visited.

Before Li Su could order to welcome the guests, he heard Li Zhi's slightly exaggerated voice coming from afar.

"Brother Zizheng, I want to be foolish..."

Then Li Su saw a familiar figure running towards him from afar. That look, that figure, and temperament, no matter from any angle, they looked like a lively and salted fish swaying in a flat shape, which was very unpromising.

Xianyu didn't realize that Li Su was despised as humble than Chen Hai, but instead looked very happy and found his brother who had been separated for many years. He was so happy.

"Brother Zizheng, I haven't......"

"Remember, you owe me five thousand guan." The first sentence of Li Su tripped Li Zhi to stagger.

"Ah?" Li Zhi was stunned: "Why?"

"No, you owe me five thousand guan anyway. When you think back to the debt you owe many years later, you must think that the goods are cheap and beautiful, and the discount is real. There is no such cheap thing in the world."

Li Su spoke with confidence, but in fact he was indeed confident. Today, he said a few good words to the little kid in front of Li Shimin. These good words are definitely worth the price, and it is far more than that.

However, it is obvious that Li Zhi doesn't think so, and the values ​​of the two have a huge conflict.

"Why don't you owe you five thousand guan?" Li Zhi stared at him in disbelief.

"Yes, you owe me five thousand guan anyway."

Li Zhi looked at him blankly for a while, then nodded slowly: "From I was born to now, I have known all kinds of people, but when it comes to the most reasonable person, it is Brother Zizheng."

Li Su smiled embarrassedly: "Your Highness praises you..."

"Not apologize, the truth."

"When will I write an IOU?"

"I'll talk about it when I become a fool one day."

Li Su sighed. This guy turned out to be smarter than he thought, and he couldn't even extort money...

…………

"The court is in chaos, why are your highness here to do?"

Li Zhi sighed, his little face wrinkled, and said, "It's not just a chaotic court, but a chaotic palace."

"Why is the palace in chaos?"

"The court officials took a large number of prisons, and the palace was also being cleaned. From Tai Chi Palace to the Eastern Palace, from eunuchs, palace maids to imperial guards, the provincial officials in the palace often leads the leader, all the people in the palace who had had an association with the prince were investigated. If anyone had been closely related to the Eastern Palace, he would take it down on the spot, and the imperial guards would be imprisoned or transferred from the palace. As for the eunuchs, they would not have such a good life. It is said that these daily companions raised their butcher knives and killed hundreds of eunuchs, all of which were involved in the prince's rebellion case. They were too lazy to examine them, so they would kill one..."

Li Zhi's eyes showed fear and sighed: "I smelled blood when I live in the palace. I always feel the wind blowing at night, and I always hear someone crying..."

Li Su looked at him sympathetically, and the poor child was scared to death. By the way, this unreliable appearance is indeed His Majesty, the future wise and wise Emperor Gaozong? Did God strike him with lightning?

After thinking for a while, Li Su decided to talk to this salted fish about her life ideals. She just happened to talk to his father and was in a good state.

"Your Highness, the court is in chaos and everyone is in danger. The princes have put their wings into the province and Taiwan. Can your Highness take action?"

Li Zhi looked stupid and cute and confused: "Movement? What kind of movement?"

Li Su sighed, and suddenly had the urge to give up this salted fish and turn around and stand in a row to kill the fat man. It was very strong.

"The remnants of the prince were purged in the court. The prisons of the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice are said to be full of criminal officials, and many positions are suspended in the court. These days, the princes have inserted their staff, servants and confidants into various provinces and departments. Do you know how many people have been inserted into His Highness the King of Wei?"

Li Zhi nodded: "I heard from the eunuchs in the royal palace that there are hundreds of people."

"To put it nicely, this is called cultivating wings, not nicely, this is called grabbing territory. Your Highness and the princes are busy engaging in camp, why is Your Highness still moving?"

Li Zhi was stunned: "What do you mean is that I will also put my wings into the court?"

"right."

Li Zhi put on a weak look: "Do you think... I look like I have 'wings'?"

Li Su: “…………”

OK, Li Su feels that he has said something stupid just now.

Although Li Zhi was the legitimate son of the emperor and also served as the governor of Bingzhou, no matter how many titles he had, he was a little kid in his teens after all. He was old enough to piss and play with mud, so how could he know how to cultivate his wings? The chief of the royal family, the royal family records the royal family, and the loyal person he had received was Li Shimin's salary, and the loyal person was Li Shimin. No one would think that this little kid in his teens was actually a potential stock that was shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

Li Su was silent for a moment and decided to change the topic.

"Your Highness is still young. What ambition will you have when you grow up?"

Li Zhi blinked and said, "Ambition? Of course, he is to be a prince of Xiaoyao..."

Li Su suddenly straightened her body, stared at him with a serious expression, his eyes as sharp as a knife, making Li Zhi furrow all over.

"Uh, Brother Zizheng, Brother Zizheng! What's wrong with you?"

Li Su shook his head and said seriously: "Your Highness, the prince has been deposed for rebellion, and the princes have started to fight for the legitimate legacy. Haven't you ever thought about fighting for it?"

Li Zhi was stunned, and then was shocked: "Brother Zizheng, are you crazy? Do you want me to fight for the prince?"

"I'm not crazy, letting you fight for the prince is not crazy." Li Su said calmly.

Li Zhi looked at him in a daze, then suddenly came to his senses and shook his head vigorously: "It won't be done! I dare not do this. Several brothers are ahead of me. No one is the turn of the position of the prince. I can't do it, no one can do it!"

Li Su frowned: "There is only one prince, and there are only one dozen princes in His Majesty, including you. Since you have the possibility of becoming the prince, why can't it be you?"

Li Zhi was stunned again and then continued to object stubbornly.

"It's really not possible. I'm too young and weak. My father cannot give me the position of prince. Besides, I have never had any unrealistic thoughts about the position of prince."

Li Su said leisurely: "Who told you that fighting for the position of crown prince is unrealistic? Is this kind of thing arranged by age? I ask you, since ancient times, what was the emperor's establishment of the crown prince?"

Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "Stay the elders and not the young people."

Li Su smiled faintly: "Your Highness also forgot a saying, 'But a legitimate legitimate will not a concubine'."

Li Zhi opened his eyes wide and looked at him blankly.

Li Su said calmly: "Although I guess you are stupid or surprised now, I still have to ask, you are so stupid that you don't understand my words, right? Do you don't understand the meaning of "Self-establishing a legitimate but not a vain"? Do you want me to explain it for you?"

Li Zhi shook his head quickly: "I understand, the wife is born as a 'legitimate', and the concubine is born as a 'monarch'."

"Are you a legitimate or a illegitimate?"

"...I am a legitimate child."

Li Su smiled: "Your Majesty's wife is the late Empress Wende. Empress Wende gave birth to three sons, one is the deposed crown prince Li Chengqian, and the other is the king of Wei Li Tai. The third one is you. Now the eldest son of Li Chengqian has been deposed. The only legitimate sons are you and Li Tai. The rest of the princes are all concubines. Unless your actions and actions of King Li Tai of Wei disappoint your Majesty and do not consider them, otherwise those princes who are concubines have no hope..."

After a pause, Li Su's voice suddenly became low: "So Your Highness, if you want to compete for the position of prince, your real opponent may be the only opponent, only one King of Wei Li Tai." (To be continued.)
