Chapter 1962 Seeing Through the Trick
Seeing Li Shimin's nervous look, Empress Changsun nodded slightly.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. Your Majesty also knows that Shen'er likes to talk nonsense, so Your Majesty should not believe in the rebellion.
Shen'er is so kind and filial, how could he do anything to disobey Your Majesty.
Someone must want to harm Shen'er, so they spread rumors and want to kill Shen'er."
Empress Changsun was still defending Li Shen at this time, which moved Li Shen quite a bit.
I felt a little guilty. I just pretended to be a green tea and took advantage of the aunt's power. Wasn't that a bit unkind?
"Oh, don't worry, Guanyin, I punished him not because I believed the rumors outside, but because he talked nonsense outside. I was also afraid that he would be used by someone with ulterior motives."
Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun and sighed helplessly, "What a loving mother who spoils her son." Seeing that the Empress was protecting him, Li Shimin really had no other options.
"Then I am relieved. Shen'er has been like this since he was a child. I will teach him well.
Shen'er, after you finish talking to His Majesty, come to me. I have something to tell you.
I will not disturb Your Majesty any longer."
After Empress Changsun finished speaking, she stood up and left the study. Concubine Wei glared at Li Shen, gave him a look that said, "Wait a minute, I'll show you what I'm going to do to you," and then followed Empress Changsun out of the study.
"You bastard, look at what you have done? You, a rebellious son, actually learned to sow discord and even dared to sow discord between your mother and me. You are so bold!"
Only after the others left did Li Shimin have time to deal with Li Shen.
Li Shimin pointed a ruler at Li Shen and cursed him loudly, which frightened Li Shen so much that he immediately fell to the ground:
"Father, calm down. I know I was wrong. I had no choice but to do it. Father, I am injured. If I am punished, my body will not be able to bear it."
It is better to admit defeat than to be beaten. Li Shen now suddenly missed the education system of his previous life, which was quality education based on persuasion, and he could also sue his father for domestic violence.
Even when I was a child in my previous life, I was never beaten so hard. My buttocks were bruised and I had hemorrhoids.
Li Shen lay there for a long time, but he didn't hear his father talking. He raised his head curiously to observe the situation, and saw his father sitting at the tea table.
She sipped the tea leisurely without even looking at him.
After finishing a cup of tea, Li Shimin said calmly: "Get up."
"Thank you, Aye." Li Shen got up and bowed respectfully.
"Sit down and talk." Li Shimin pointed at the chair opposite him with his chin.
Li Shen thanked him again and sat down. "Hiss~~~~~" the pain made Li Shen gasp.
After seeing this, Li Shimin shook his head and said calmly:
"I don't suspect you of treason. I blame you for talking nonsense. You should have noticed something about the situation in Xizhou.
Aristocratic families still have a great influence, and you will suffer if you act too recklessly.
Although we have had a slight upper hand over the aristocratic families in recent years, we cannot take it lightly. If we don't get rid of them, there is a possibility that they will revive.
They are like centipedes that die but remain stiff. In the future, you must live up to the name I gave you. You must be careful and prudent, and think twice before you act. Do you understand?"
Li Shen was a little surprised to hear his father's earnest teaching. He was still thinking about what his father would scold him for later. Now Li Shen was somewhat uncomfortable with this.
"I understand what you taught me, Father. Thank you for your good intentions." Li Shen stood up and saluted.
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction:
"It's good that you understand. Although you were born in the royal family and I am the emperor, I feel that you and I are first father and son, and then monarch and subject.
You left the palace when you were young, and I didn't teach you well when you were young, so you have developed this kind of temper. This is all my fault."
"Um... Father, are you feeling unwell? Should we go to my son's medical school and let Dr. Sun take a look?"
Li Shen felt that his father was a little abnormal. What he said made him feel as if he had some terminal illness. But shouldn't he leave his last words to the crown prince and all the civil and military officials in the court?
Is he going to divide the family property among himself?
"Asshole, you're really in good health." The originally harmonious atmosphere was broken by Li Shen's words.
Li Shimin thought to himself, as expected, I can't talk normally when I'm with my rebellious son. I have to get angry, otherwise this group won't listen seriously.
"Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong." Li Shen apologized quickly and thought to himself, yes, this is what it feels like, this is a real father.
"I mean that you have reached adulthood and have grown up. You should not act on your own will in many things. As a prince, it is time for you to share the worries of the court."
Li Shimin said seriously.
"Father, do you have any instructions?" Li Shen seemed to understand something and asked tentatively.
“I heard that the situation in Xizhou is unstable, rebellions are increasing, and many tribes are in contact with the rebels. Governor Qu Zhiping is a little hesitant.
Anxi Protector General Guo Xiaoke was rushing to the border to follow the army to attack Yanqi and Qiuci, so someone was needed to stay in the Anxi Protectorate.
I think you are the best candidate, please go for me."
Li Shimin did not beat around the bush and told the truth directly.
"Sitting in Anxi? Father, there are so many talented people in the court, and there are so many meritorious people, why not..." Li Shen wanted to find an excuse to refuse,
But he suddenly stopped talking. He felt as if he had said these words before. Suddenly, Li Shen's eyes lit up.
"Oh~~~I understand, I understand." Li Shen stood up from his chair excitedly.
"What do you understand?" Li Shimin asked, looking up.
"I finally realized it. Did my elder brother complain to Aye, which is why what happened today happened?"
Li Shen finally figured it out. He first accused him of treason, then took the opportunity to beat him up, and finally presented facts and reason, using both soft and hard tactics. His ultimate goal was to get himself to go to Xizhou.
Li Shen asked why he looked so familiar. Didn’t Li Chengqian wanted him to go to Xizhou a few days ago, but he ruthlessly rejected him?
I thought the matter had passed after such a long time, but I didn't expect that Xiao Li actually called his parents.
You little Li, you are already in your early thirties, yet you still play childish tricks on me, you despicable and shameless guy, Li Shen cursed in his heart.
"This matter has nothing to do with your elder brother. The incident in Xizhou was caused by you. I told you that I would let you deal with the aftermath. It is also convenient for you to be in charge of Anxi Protectorate."
Li Shimin put away his serious expression and smiled. He didn't expect that this rebellious son would react so quickly.
His son was indeed extremely intelligent. No wonder the prince was helpless with him. It seemed he needed more training.
