Chapter 92: Calculated(2/2)

We haven’t spent the Autumn Eve together for many years.”

All the warblers behind said they did not dare.

Li Shimin smiled slightly and waved his hand and said: "That boy is indeed good, but I don't blame Guanyin. The court has been troubled in recent years and everyone has worked hard. I use this wine to apologize to all my beloved concubines and princes."

After drinking, Li Chengqian, who was sitting under Li Shimin, flattered him and said:

"My father, the emperor, and my mother are kind and virtuous. They take the people of the world as their own responsibility. This is really the pride of the emperor. Why should they suffer?"

Of course, Li Tai on the side would not miss such a good opportunity to perform, shaking his fat and said:

"My father puts the country, the country and the country first, which is really an example for his sons and ministers. From now on, my sons and ministers should put the people first and live up to my father's expectations."

After saying that, he looked at Li Chengqian proudly.

Li Tai wanted to get involved in everything he saw and compete with him. Li Chengqian was so angry that his teeth itched with hatred, but in such a situation, he could only smile and pretend.



Li Shimin laughed happily when he heard that his children were so sensible.

In the blink of an eye, he saw Li Ke, who was a little unhappy. He frowned and asked, "Why is Ke'er so sad?"

After hearing Li Shimin's question, Li Ke quickly stood up and replied with some sadness:

"Please forgive me, Father. After hearing the words recited by Father, the child thought that he would leave for Anzhou to take up his post tomorrow. He didn't know when he would be able to see Father, Queen Mother and Concubine, so he felt worried for a moment..."

Li Ke's words immediately silenced Li Shimin. As a father, who wants his son to travel far away?

However, in order to control the world, he had to seal off all these princes, otherwise, he would feel uneasy.

The family's power was too strong, and he had to guard against it.

After pondering for a while, Li Shimin admonished: "A man has ambitions in all directions. When you go to the fiefdom this time, you should love the people like a son, be courteous and strict with yourself, and don't act recklessly or make mistakes again. Anzhou is located on the edge. I was here back then."

Liu Heitai, the rebel king, also set foot here, so Ke'er should pay more attention..."

These words represent Li Shimin's high expectations for Li Ke. He paused for a while and then said:

"In memory of your kindness and filial piety, I will allow you to return to Chang'an for half a month every New Year's Day to fulfill your filial piety."

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Ke was immediately grateful. This was his unique favor.

After an ordinary prince goes to a fiefdom, he cannot return to Chang'an at will without Zhao Jian.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Changsun Wujia smiled and asked: "Ke'er, when the poem "Shui Diao Ge Tou" was published, I heard that you were also at the poetry meeting?"

"Father, Emperor, Mother... I know this, so I'd better tell you."

Before Li Ke could reply, the woman sitting next to Li Ke spoke up in a sweet voice.

Looking at his daughter who is as beautiful as a flower, Li Shimin's eyes were full of doting. Of course he would not refuse. Instead, he jokingly said: "Oh? Turns out Shu'er also knows about it. Let your father know."

When the woman slowly told her what she had seen and heard today, her pretty face was full of worship.

"That's really interesting. It's a pity that I'm not here today, but this guy really knows how to stir up trouble, and he also messed up a good poetry meeting." After listening, Li Shimin sighed with some regret.

This guy is quite talented. I wanted to examine him before, but it seems there is no need.

But seeing his daughter's expression, Li Shimin became a little weird.

He knew how proud his daughter was, and few ordinary young talents caught her eye.

Of course, her daughter's unusual eldest grandson, Wugu, had also discovered it. He glanced at Li Shimin, smiled slightly and joked:

"I didn't expect that this little girl actually has someone she likes. Do you want your father to marry you earlier?"

These words made the woman blush with embarrassment, but she still raised her head proudly and argued:

"Mother, where can I be? You don't know, that loyal uncle is so irritating. He looks old and senile and is not lovable at all. He even asked his children to call him husband."

"Hmph, he's obviously still young, but he's pretending to be mature. That's why Gao Yang doesn't like him."

Taking a closer look, isn't this beautiful woman a Xibei from Wangyue Tower? She is actually Princess Gaoyang?

If she knew her identity, I wonder if Yang Fan would have the courage to tease this 'great' woman.

After all, Princess Gaoyang is a pioneer in starting a free life for women.

I don’t know if Yang Fan would be surprised, but as soon as Princess Gao Yang’s words came out, Li Ke knew something bad was going to happen.

Sure enough, the wine Li Shimin had just drank spit out of his mouth, and he roared in disbelief:

"What are you talking about? That Bangchui actually dared you to call him husband? And you still shouted? It's really unreasonable." After saying this, he stood up with a loud voice.

Seeing Li Shimin's angry look, Princess Gaoyang was frightened. At this time, she had not yet figured out what went wrong.

He could only ask timidly: "Father, did I say something wrong somewhere?"

Seeing Li Shimin's face turn red and white, Li Ke felt frightened, so he had to explain the meaning of "husband" to Princess Gaoyang softly.

After hearing the explanation, Princess Gaoyang was extremely ashamed and angry. She didn't expect that Yang Fan had already seen through her identity, so he stared, gritted his silver teeth and said in surprise:

"Father, this loyal uncle is so hateful. He has discovered that I am a daughter a long time ago and still takes advantage of him. Father must punish him severely."

At this time, Li Shimin was also dumbfounded. His daughter was eaten up and wiped clean by this kid without knowing it. It was really disgusting.

Although he had originally intended to betroth Gao Yang to him, he had not yet received the benefits.

What's even more disgusting is that this kid is always against him, and he gets angry just thinking about it.

Seeing Yang Fan arousing public outrage, the little fat Li Tai rolled his eyes, and of course he would not miss the opportunity to add insult to injury.

With difficulty, he stood up comically with his round body and said angrily: "Father, my loyal brother has insulted the royal family. He must be punished severely, otherwise everyone will follow suit in the future, and he will lose his royal manners."

Li Ke was immediately shocked and quickly begged for mercy: "Uncle Zhongyi did this unintentionally. It was a joke. Please give me some warning from my father."

Changsun Wugou looked at the uncertain Li Shimin and then at Gao Yang, who was just a little shy, and immediately knew what to do.

If Li Shimin really wanted to punish Yu Yang Fan, he would have ordered Baiqi to arrest him long ago.

But that boy had insulted the royal family so much, so he definitely couldn't ignore it.

Li Shishi must be in a dilemma for the sake of face!

Thinking of this, Changsheng Wugou stood up and shouted: "Uncle Zhongyi is so rude, he dares to insult Princess Gaoyang and insults the royal family. He really deserves to be killed."

Everyone was shocked when they heard Changsun Wugou's words. After all, Changsun Wugou had always been famous for his compassion and virtue.

Only Li Tai looked happy and thought it was his mother who wanted to help him.

Changsun Wugou's words of being so 'unfeeling' made Princess Gaoyang hesitate.

Although Yang Fan was rude to her, she didn't hold any grudge in her heart. The reason why she was severely punished by Li Shimin just now was just because of her shyness as a girl.

Seeing Changsun Wugu secretly giving him a wink, Li Shimin quickly reacted and asked Princess Gaoyang, who was looking troubled:

"Since Shu'er said that this loyal uncle will be severely punished, what do you think about your father's treatment according to your mother's instructions?"

Princess Gaoyang hesitated and didn't know how to answer. When she saw that Li Shimin was about to issue an order to 'execute' Yang Fan, she was so frightened that she quickly said: "Father, do you think the punishment is too severe?"

Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou secretly glanced at each other, with expressions that were indeed like this.

But Li Shimin still said with a straight face: "You have insulted my daughter, and it is easier for him to behead him. I still want to cut him into pieces."

The eldest grandson Wugou suppressed his laughter and hurriedly advised: "My second brother is a benevolent king. If the loyal uncle is cut into thousands of pieces, wouldn't it be a disgrace to my second brother's reputation?"

"Since the second brother is in a dilemma, I suggest that we simply marry Princess Gaoyang to Uncle Zhongyi. This will not only preserve the royal family's reputation, but also fulfill His Majesty's benevolence and righteousness."

"Besides, this loyal uncle has unparalleled talents and affection. He and Gao Yang, a talented man and a beautiful woman, have not insulted this little girl Gao Yang. They can also bring him back to the imperial court. What do you think, second brother?"

Li Chengqian and Li Ke: "What's going on? Didn't they just shout about beating and killing?"

Li Tai: "Are you dreaming? Isn't this reversal too fast?"
