Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Chapter 2057: Follow Li Shen’s example.

On the second day, Li Shen slept until noon as usual. Li Shen had been traveling day and night and had not had a good sleep for a long time.

But the news of his return had already spread throughout the court and caused a lot of discussion in the court.

Prince Ji is back. Is it because His Majesty is really terminally ill that he summoned Prince Ji back to take charge of his funeral arrangements, or is it because His Majesty asked Prince Ji to come back to treat His Majesty?

As everyone knows, Prince Ji had some wonderful ideas since he was a child and was outstanding in his skills and ingenuity.

Maybe Prince Ji really came back to treat Your Majesty.

When Li Shen got on the carriage and arrived at Cuiwei Palace, he saw other carriages parked at the door.

"Shi Tou, do those two carriages look familiar to you?"

After getting off the carriage, Li Shen looked to the side and asked.

"Your Highness, those are the carriages of the Prince of Jin's and Prince of Wei's palaces. You can see the logo on them." Shi Tou recognized them immediately after taking a look.

"Li Tai and Li Zhi are here? What are these two doing here? Why didn't I see them yesterday?" Li Shen muttered to himself, then walked into Cuiwei Palace.

Li Tai and Li Zhi had arrived at Cuiwei Palace early and were meeting Empress Changsun.

No one knew why, but ever since His Majesty met the Crown Prince, he had refused to see the two of them for various reasons.

For several days they wanted to visit Li Shimin, but were always turned away. They could only get a few words about their father's illness from their mother.

This inevitably made both of them feel a little resentful.

However, there was news today that Li Shen returned yesterday and stayed in Cuiwei Palace for a long time before returning to Prince Ji's Mansion, so the two of them came here today to see if they could meet their father.

"Mother, what does Aye mean by this? Why doesn't he let us visit him? We are Aye's sons. If outsiders knew that we had never seen Aye,

People outside will say that we are unfilial." As the youngest legitimate son, Li Zhi had been with Empress Changsun for a long time and was particularly loved by her.

Otherwise, why could he lend out so much money, but Li Chengqian and Li Tai couldn't.

"Chi Nu, your father is ill and weak, and can't work hard. Even your mother only visits him once a day.

You don't have to worry, your Aye will come to see you when his condition gets better."

Empress Changsun explained softly.

"But why can my eldest brother visit Aye every day? Mother, aren't we Aye's sons?" Li Zhi was a little unconvinced.

"Pheasant~~~" Upon hearing Li Zhi's words, Empress Chang Sun's face turned stern and she looked a little unhappy.

"Mother, please calm down. Zhinu is also worried about Aye's health. As a son, I should serve you by your bedside at this time."

Seeing that his mother was angry, Li Tai hurried to comfort her.

"Zhi Nu, you have grown up and should understand the truth. Your elder brother is the crown prince and the eldest son, so it is enough for him to serve you.

Too many people will affect your rest.

Besides, there must be a reason why your father doesn't see you. As a son, you should be filial to your parents, which is understandable, but you must also obey your parents' orders.

What? Don't you even understand this after studying?

Look at your tenth brother, he is humble, polite, loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous. Do you think he will ever become as impetuous and rude as you?

When you go back, you should study hard and follow Shen'er's example."

Empress Changsun had a stern face and didn't show any good expression to Li Zhi at all, and her words were full of disappointment.

She saw with her own eyes how Li Shen came back yesterday and took charge of the situation with such composure that even the crown prince Li Chengqian lost his luster.

He gives everyone hope while laughing and controls the world while playing pranks.

Empress Changsun was very emotional yesterday. Fortunately, Li Shen was not the eldest son, and fortunately, Li Shen was not interested in the throne, otherwise it would not be so easy for her son to become emperor.

Hearing that his mother also praised Li Shen so highly, Li Zhi felt jealous and said unconvincedly:

"Let me learn from Li Shen? He has only studied for a few years. Should I learn to be a tyrant from him? Or should I learn to cheat others from him?

Li Shen did whatever he wanted, was arrogant because of his favor, and looked down on others.

I just don't understand, why does his father protect him so much as a bastard? Isn't he just good at making some money?

Aye was bought by a little benefit, isn't that just being... "

"Crack!"

Before Li Zhi could finish his words, Empress Changsun stood up, walked in front of Li Zhi and slapped him mercilessly, knocking him unconscious.

He covered his face with his hands and looked at his mother in astonishment.

"Mother." Li Tai stepped forward to comfort her. "Mother, please calm down. Zhinu is still young and ignorant. He shouldn't have said anything about Aye. I hope you will forgive me."

Li Tai bowed repeatedly and begged for mercy. Even if he was his own father, he could not make random comments. As the saying goes, a son should not speak of his father's faults. This is filial piety.

What's more, their father was the emperor. They were both sons and subjects. The next sentence of "a son should not speak of his father's faults" is "a subject should not expose the faults of his monarch."

When Empress Changsun praised Li Shen and asked Li Zhi to emulate Li Shen, Li Tai knew that something bad was going to happen. He found that Li Zhi had not changed much in his daily life and was just like a normal person, even a little wise.

But whenever the name Li Shen was mentioned, Li Zhi seemed like a different person, his emotions were very unstable, as if Li Shen was Li Zhi's poison.

According to Li Tai's investigation, Li Zhi's behavior started when Li Shen rushed into the Prince of Jin's Mansion and beat him up.

This made Li Tai somewhat suspicious, wondering if Li Shen had really damaged Li Zhi's brain.

Just as he had guessed, when Empress Changsun finished speaking, Li Zhi refuted with a grim face, and even implicated their father.

Empress Changsun was also very disappointed with her sons. She hoped that her sons could be as wise and brave as Your Majesty and make outstanding contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

She just didn't expect that her youngest son would make mistakes repeatedly, and that the mistakes he made were all serious and disastrous, which made her feel guilty all the time.

Because both herself and her husband are protecting him and hope that he can change for the better.

But I didn't expect that it would be indulged to this extent, which made Empress Changsun sad.

"Zhi Nu, you have disappointed your mother so much. Your mother has always hoped that you can become successful and assist your father.

But what about you? What did you do?

Your mother really doesn't understand why you have become like this, impetuous and jealous. You are the one who is so arrogant that you even dare to talk nonsense about your father.

You really are... cough cough..." Empress Chang Sun was so angry that she started coughing violently when she got excited.

"Mother."

"Mother."

The two brothers immediately stepped forward to support her. Empress Changsun angrily shook off Li Zhi's hand and let Li Tai help her sit on the couch.
