Du Xijun blushed, got up from the couch with cloudy hair, and spat lightly: "You, it's broad daylight..."
"What does it matter if a couple is happy day and night? Are they still shy when they are old? "
"Hmph, I really think I'm old..."
Xie Yi smiled silently and said, "I am speechless. This spoiled Xijun is the little girl on the bank of Huaiyang Lake. I feel itchy!"
"Come again? Stop making trouble!" Du Xijun shook away Xie Yi's claws and whispered: "Let the other sisters know later, it's time to laugh at me."
Xie Yi chuckled and said, "No one is laughing at, they have never had them..."
"You!" Du Xijun lowered her head and her face turned redder.
Xie Yi smiled faintly and said, "Okay, don't make things difficult for you, continue another day... You will send someone to invite Di Renjie over later."
"Di Renjie?" Du Xijun said: "It seems that Sanlang has seen this sister-in-law?"
"This child is good, and it is rare to be in love with Xiaoman. As a brother, I will naturally be beautiful as an adult." Xie Yi smiled and said, "Young people need to cultivate their feelings, it's good to meet more often."
Du Xijun said: "Xiaoman is so happy in our family. Other women don't have much contact before getting married. Fortunately, you encourage them to interact more."
"It's okay, but you, as a sister-in-law, have to remind Xiaoman, who is so kind and polite. He is too young to dare to have an accident." Xie Yi said: "I will remind Di Renjie."
"Don't worry!" Du Xijun said: "Sanlang, to be honest, is there anything else you have to ask Di Renjie to come?"
"Yes, yes." Xie Yi did not deny this.
Du Xijun said worriedly: "But Di Renjie is still young..."
"It's not too young, this child is more mature and capable than you think. There are some things that I don't want to come forward. I have to ask him to help you." Xie Yi said: "It's just right for him to be a talented person in the future and be the prime minister."
"Prime Minister? Sanlang has high expectations for Di Renjie!"
"That's natural. This child is a good seedling. With this potential, I always see people very accurate, you know."
"Okay, it's great that Xin'er and Yu'er have an uncle who is prime minister." Du Xijun smiled happily, and in order to prevent Xie Yi from being honest again, he turned around and went out to arrange invitations.
...
When Xie Yi was relaxing and comfortable at home, the quarrels in the court were still boiling, and the punishment for the two princes was still a great controversy.
Li Shimin has never been involved, but has been troubled by it, and can even be said to have suffered a lot. He blamed himself. The situation that has been going to this day actually has a lot to do with him. He did not care enough about Li You and was not careful about Qizhou, which made his son go on a evil path.
Especially not keeping a close eye on Yin Hongzhi, this guy became a cancer and harmed his two princes. Yin Hongzhi was sentenced to death the day before yesterday, but laughed loudly in the prison of Dali Temple, and was very proud. It is said that he was proud of instigating the Qi King Li You and forcing the Crown Prince Li Chengqian to rebel.
These things deeply stimulated Li Shimin. After all, the sons were still young, and they were too careless. Many of them were originally a family hatred of the Li family, but they were finally transferred to them, which was somewhat implicated. This made His Majesty Li Er feel a sense of indebtedness.
Li Chengqian and Li Shimin felt most uncomfortable. Although this son was not so good at one time, there was no problem in carefully cultivating him to be a successful king. However, he had too high expectations. He always hoped that he would achieve great things in the future, so he adopted an overly paranoid and intense training method.
Without careful care and counseling, he supported other princes, hoping to stimulate his continuous progress in this way. But now Li Shimin realized that he overestimated the psychological quality of the eldest son and ignored his feelings.
This method not only did not make Li Chengqian progress, but instead made him very nervous. He was uneasy and helpless. Without the support and care of his father and his status was constantly impacted, he would have a strong desire to protect himself.
Li Shimin understood this point very well. He knew very well what the mentality of Prince Yin Li Jiancheng and himself during the Xuanwu Gate Incident. As for Li Chengqian's final rebellion, it was indeed a rebellious from his father's perspective, but it seems nothing wrong if he looked at it from the perspective of political power.
No poison is not a husband, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I did this too back then, what is the point of imitating my son? Think about it carefully, what is the right to blame him?
What's more, Li Chengqian is the son of his beloved wife. When he thinks of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin becomes more and more sad. If he kills his son, will his wife accept it? Will he blame himself?
After all, this is my first child. I have been watching him grow up for more than 20 years and love him. Even if he is a little disobedient and disobedient now, my father-in-law doesn't seem to be able to...
In short, in the face of this incident, emotions have overcome the so-called national law, and Li Shimin was reluctant to kill his son Li Chengqian no matter what.
As for Li You, it would be better if you could save it. However, it was too difficult to save two children at the same time. The major rebellion case must be given an explanation to the world.
If there is no killing, how can the world accept it? How can it be shocked? The ministers in Chang'an City, Guanlong and Shandong's aristocratic families will definitely be dissatisfied, and there will inevitably be a rebound, which will affect the stability of the country.
As an emperor, he had to consider this issue and sacrifice part of his personal interests in the face of inheritance of the country. His two sons could only try their best to save one, and it was obvious that he would save that.
Li You is a concubine's son, and he is not favored, and his relationship is not that deep. Moreover, the rebellion in Qizhou is even greater, and the consequences and impacts are even worse. Although Li You's behavior is very stupid, he still causes trouble afterwards with Yin Hongzhi and tries to frame Li Chengqian.
If they hadn't said it was true that the Huayin attack was pushed to Li Chengqian, all this might not have happened later. So Li Shimin also had resentment towards this son in his heart. In the case of choosing one of two, he would naturally choose to sacrifice Li You.
This is the helplessness of the father, and even more so the helplessness of the emperor.
Although Li Shimin thought so in his heart, as an emperor, he could not express his attitude directly, otherwise he would be suspected of being biased, which is obviously not very appropriate.
So I can only refuse to express my opinion and then hint that Li Shimin believes that after his hint is conveyed, there will always be ministers who can clearly feel it.
As long as there is a proper person to protect Li Chengqian, he will have a reason to protect him. As for those memorials that are sure to kill Li Chengqian, Humph, Li Shimin threw it aside with a cold expression.
[The 515 is coming soon. I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list. By May 15th, the red envelope rain can give back to readers and promote works. It is also love, so it will definitely be better!] (To be continued.)
