Chapter 49: Inquiry and Remonstrance
"Xie Yi, you are so brave." Li Shimin lowered his voice and roared angrily, for fear of scaring his baby daughter.
What's going on?
Xie Yi was also shocked. Anyone who suddenly yelled "bold" by the emperor's headless roar would make him feel a little shocked.
"Your Majesty has arrived. I am in a position to welcome you. Please forgive me." Xie Yi smiled, but hesitated in his heart. Li Er should not be guilty because of this trivial matter, right?
"So, I have to inform you in advance before coming and let you prepare well?"
Uh... Xie Yi was even more inexplicably and hesitated: "Your Majesty is here, whether you are ready or not, I should serve you with all my heart."
"Take your heart? Is this what you do to me?"
"I am afraid, please let Your Majesty make it clear." Xie Yi was a little confused. Could this be the legendary companion of the king and the tiger, and it is faster to turn against each other than to read a book?
Li Shimin said angrily: "I received a report saying that your young girl was rude, disrespectful to the wicked son, and even bullied my princess... It turns out that I didn't believe it very much, but I didn't expect that you would ignore what you saw with your own eyes. What? Is it easy to bully my daughter, or is it easy to bully me?"
It turns out that this is the matter. His Majesty Li Er made a big fuss. As expected, when it comes to children, the wise and powerful emperor will not only be unprincipled, but will even be a bit like a shrew who protects his son.
Xie Yi said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, you are so serious."
"What, you don't take it seriously?"
"No, actually... I did not tell her sister the identity of the princess, nor did I teach her to respect the princess..."
"Are you negligent?"
"I did it on purpose."
"You are so brave." Hearing this, Li Shimin was furious.
Xie Yi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty calm down, can you listen to me?"
Li Shimin angrily said, "Say, I hope your words can save your life."
The wise and powerful man, and the wise and swearing is not a joke? The emperor openly uses the most threatening words as a joke. Isn’t that good? Just killing people in such a small matter, who can you deceive? You always use life and death to threaten others, and you are also... drunk!
After Xie Yi despised Li Er in his heart, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you think Your Highness feels that he is not respected? Are Your Highness happy?"
"Yizi looks pretty happy, it doesn't mean that your sister can bully my noble daughter."
"Your Majesty, please think carefully. Is Your Highness, Princess Jinyang happy today or in the palace in the past?"
"This...what do you want to say?"
Li Shimin's slight hesitation was enough to illustrate the problem. Xie Yi knew it in his heart and smiled and said, "If Your Majesty's answer is the latter, I have nothing to say; if it is the former, I may be able to guess some reasons."
"You said!" Although Li Shimin was a little dissatisfied, his attitude had changed significantly and he gradually became interested.
Xie Yi said slowly, "Your Majesty, I think the reason is probably the word "poetry" and "noble". Princess Jinyang is the youngest daughter of Empress Wende. Her Majesty loves her very much and even raises her personally. Although they are all princes, her Majesty should be the most attentive and pampered by Princess Jinyang."
Li Shimin hummed lightly, which was a fact that admitted. Dozens of children are inevitably favored by one and the other. Especially the children born by Empress Changsun are the most favored, which is a fact known to the government and the people. Among them, Princess Jinyang is the youngest, so she received the most care and care, and is the real proud daughter of heaven.
"Your Majesty loves the princess, is a model of a kind father." First, she flattered her, Xie Yi continued: "Although Your Majesty raises the princess himself, Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, and most of the princess' daily daily life and entertainment are still taken care of by the palace servants. The palace servants know that Your Majesty loves the princess very much, so they naturally dare not be negligent in the slightest, and they must not be timid."
Now it was Li Er's turn to be confused. Shouldn't this be the case for those who are slaves?
Xie Yixu said: "I have heard from the palace maids who serve the princess that the princesses and the princesses in the palace love the princess very much and often play with the princess, but Princess Jinyang doesn't like it. It's not happy. Why is this?"
"Why?" Li Shimin frowned. He was quite puzzled by this. He even had a temper with the concubines in the palace, but it was finally left alone.
"Your Majesty, I think the reason lies in the words of equality and sincerity." Xie Yi said: "Your Highness is honorable and should respect and respect, but Your Highness is still a child at a young age. For children, equal and sincere companionship is very important.
The Empress in the Palace and His Highness know that Your Majesty loves Princess Jinyang, so they will be extra careful in their daily play, for fear that the princess would be a little wronged and would make Your Majesty angry. There was a very subtle awe in her mind, and she was respectful to Your Majesty.
Shuchen is brave. Some people seem to treat the princess well, but it is not sincere. Because as long as the princess Jinyang is happy, Your Majesty will be happy, Your Majesty will remember their kindness, and then they will favor them. There is a little more pleasing, even flattering, in this."
Li Shimin had always had a calm face, but his expression had a little more subtle change. It was obvious that Xie Yi's words had already aroused his deep thoughts.
The effect was pretty good, Xie Yi continued: "Zou Ji was the prime minister in Qi and compared with Xu Gong in Linzi. His wife and concubines, and visitors all said that Zou Ji was more beautiful than Xu Gong. However, after Zou Ji personally met Xu Gong, he felt ashamed of himself, and lamented that his wife and concubines were beautiful to me because of his love, flattery, and flattery, and begging him, so he was moved to advise the King of Qi."
"As a result, you are also admonishing me through this matter?"
Uh... It seems that he is too pretentious. Xie Yi hurriedly said, "I am just giving an example... Although Princess Jinyang is young, she is pure and sensitive. Sometimes she can understand whether others treat her indifferently or falsely.
Your Majesty and the King of Jin treat each other sincerely, and they are in love with you, so the princess is happiest when she gets along with you, but she is often depressed. She is even willing to wait for His Highness to go to school, and she is not willing to play with others. This is probably why."
"You are very careful..." His Majesty Li Er sighed lightly, and most of his anger had passed away.
"Your Majesty, this is also because I do not tell my sister the identity of the princess. If I don't know, I will not be respectful and flattering. My childlike heart is pure. I will attract partners, have fun with each other, and treat each other sincerely and equally. In this way, His Highness the Princess will feel respect and truly happy in his heart.
For example, Your Majesty talks with some ministers with high-quality chess skills. The ministers may win His Majesty, but they deliberately give in to His Majesty. In this way, even if Your Majesty wins, can you be happy?"
"Some truths." Li Shimin turned around and asked, "Where did you learn these? You can't do it too..."
The old fairy man riding a green cow didn't say the words "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but everyone understands it.
Most people in later generations understand some pedagogical and psychological principles, and they are just showing off. Xie Yi whispered: "Your Majesty, my parents died early, and my younger sister lost her father since childhood. I am my brother and I shoulder the responsibility of raising and educating my younger sister. I hope to make up for her shortcomings in losing her father and let her grow up happily, so I have a lot of thoughts about the children."
Li Shimin looked at his daughter who was having fun from a distance and said leisurely: "So that's it, let Yizi play with your sister. Since the queen left, it's rare to see Yizi so happy."
"Yes, when my younger sister is older and understands the truth, I will teach her that there is a difference between the king and the minister and respect the princess." Xie Yi hurriedly added, if Li Shimin came back and felt that he did not respect the imperial power, the problem would be great.
"Okay!" Li Shimin nodded and asked, "Is the object your sister threw at the squid just now toy?"
"Yes, this object is a sandbag, which is sewn with small pieces of crumbs, and some beans or fine sand can be thrown and played. This object is fine and soft, and has little strength in children, so it will not hurt the princess."
"You are intent." His Majesty Li Er rarely praised him, and suddenly saw Princess Jinyang, Xie Xiaoman, and even Li Zhi hurried down the corridor.
Li Shimin said curiously: "Where are they going?"
Xie Yi saw his sister-in-law Du carrying a tray from afar. The expression on his face suddenly became a little bad, and a little worried appeared in his heart...
