I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

However, today, when Empress Changsun finished breakfast in the palace and was about to stroll to work, she found a group of princes Wuyang Wuyang came over.

And the ones walking in the front are her direct son Li Tai and Li Ke, the son of Concubine Yang, the eldest son of the royal family. Although Li Ke is the son of Concubine Yang, according to the rules in the palace, after seeing the eldest grandson queen, Li Ke , still have to be called the queen mother in a proper manner.

Empress Changsun was also a little surprised to see such a group of bastards coming over, what is this for?

Li Tai and Li Ke came here with their younger brothers. Could it be that they have no money and want to find her, the queen mother, for alms?

Don't think that Empress Changsun is thinking about it, you must know that the financial power of all the members of the entire royal family is actually in her hands. These princes naturally have their own monthly money, but it is actually not much, and they still need their mother and concubine How about supporting him from within his own ranks? Is it too big a gap to find Empress Changsun now?

Chapter 883 Request from the princes

The bastards were probably also trembling at this time, after finally coming in to greet the Empress Changsun, they held their breath and no one said a word.

Empress Changsun smiled, instead of looking at her fat son, she looked at Li Ke and said,

"Ke'er, why did you bring these little brothers here to find the queen mother today?"

At this time, Li Ke slightly turned his head to look at Li Tai next to him, but the little fat man was sweating now despite his aggressive words, and it seemed that there was no hope.

It has to be said that Li Shimin has always liked his third son, not only because Li Ke is the one who most resembles Li Shimin in appearance, but also in all aspects such as demeanor, he is born in the same mold as Li Shimin.

If Li Chengqian was gradually cultivated by Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo, then Li Ke belonged to the kind who was born with an aura and was suitable to be an emperor.

It's a pity that other princes may have a slight possibility of this matter, but Li Ke has absolutely no possibility here, because his mother Concubine Yang is the daughter of Emperor Sui Yang.

Just because he has the royal blood of the previous dynasty, the courtiers who have taken the country from his grandfather will never support him, and the ghost knows if he will come to a big purge if he comes to power To avenge his grandfather.

But I have to say that this outstanding person can never be hidden. In recent years, as Li Ke has grown older, whether it is dealing with people or communicating in daily life, Li Ke is like a husky among wolves, seemingly inconspicuous, but After opening the mouth a few times, the filling was revealed.

Fortunately, Li Chengqian has indeed done a good job under the training of Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo in the past few years.Otherwise, I really can't hold back this younger brother.

But under such circumstances, Li Ke was granted the title of King of Han in the first year of Zhenguan, and changed to King of Shu in the second year of Zhenguan and was awarded the governor of Yizhou. These are all rewards from Li Shimin.

Not only that, Li Ke's prestige among the brothers and sisters of the royal family is also quite high, especially now that the prince and princess in the palace have also gone to school outside, he, the older brother, has been protecting his younger siblings in the past few years of.

But no matter what happened before, judging from today's situation, it seems that something really big has happened. At least Li Yin, the younger brother with a compatriot behind him, is trembling in his calves right now.

However, Li Ke also heard the question from Empress Changsun just now, and he knew the reason why the arrow had to be fired. After all, we have come to this point now, can we really go back and pretend that nothing happened?

So Li Ke took a deep breath, bowed again, and said in a deep voice,

"After returning to his mother, Ke begged his mother to allow several sons and ministers to find their own way out or become a vassal!"

The entire Lixiu Palace fell silent, don't look at Empress Changsun who usually looks gentle and grand, but at this moment she is staring at Li Ke with a gloomy face.

It's not that the calves of these silly boys are trembling at this moment, it's that the whole person is almost unable to stand still, the pressure is too great!

Outsiders don't know that they don't know yet. The queen mother in front of me may seem very talkative, but she is actually very strict about the rules. What bad things did the princes do in school or the grades are not good enough? If it reaches her ears, there will definitely be a lesson.

Perhaps in normal times, Empress Changsun is gentle, generous, tolerant and equal, but when it comes to the struggle for imperial power, especially when one of the parties is a child born by her hard work, as a mother, you can I don't have the heart to accommodate you.

Empress Changsun's face was already frosty at this time, a pair of phoenix eyes squinted at Li Ke who was trying to maintain his figure, and said without any emotion, as cold as nine winters,

"Li Ke, are you so impatient to make something happen? Li Tai, Li Yin, Li You, you also have the same idea, want to compete with Cheng Qian?"

At this time, Empress Changsun didn't have half of her usual gentle and amiable appearance, and her aura was so violent that she would choose someone to devour in the next second. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the murderous demon was reborn.

Li Ke couldn't bear it anymore, and the other princes couldn't bear it anymore, so they knelt down with a plop, and Li Ke was still explaining tremblingly,

"Empress Mother, I have absolutely no intention of competing with the crown prince. I and my younger brothers don't want to live my life in such a mediocre way, and I don't want to be raised in captivity like a fat pig in the future. I am willing to give up the throne. , to show that my sons and ministers have absolutely no desire to fight for the reserve!"

Silence, a long silence, the princes slammed their heads on the ground, not daring to look up at all, but the sweat on their foreheads flowed down continuously, even puddles formed on the ground. Small water spots.

At this moment, they felt that the silent palace was like a huge beast that was looking at them, and it seemed that it would explode and swallow them into its stomach at any time.

"Oh? Are you really not going to compete for reserves?"

Li Ke and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this seemingly emotionless discourse. The one who lay on the ground by himself, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself on the spot.

However, their hearts are burning hot right now, because since Empress Changsun asked this question, it proves that they made the right bet, and if nothing else, at least now they have a specific explanation Here's the chance.

Instead of being dragged out and killed after finishing a sentence like before.

As for why you don't come up and just explain it directly, hehe, do you think you can talk at length if you come up to communicate with the queen?

Even if they are "sons", they don't have the qualifications to do so. They can only bet that Empress Changsun will give them a chance to explain in detail.

Otherwise, needless to say what will happen in the future, there will be no future for making such a request.

However, I don't blame these guys for taking such a risk, it's really that they really don't want to be like those royal relatives before, just like rice bugs and fat pigs who have nothing to do every day.

They have all received formal studies in school, and they even plan to go to the Imperial University to choose subjects they are interested in studying.

This is also Zhang Nuo's suggestion to their father. At that time, Zhang Nuo said that children should study more, even if they can't become the pillars of the country, they can't become a waste that is not as good as ordinary people.

Li Shimin thought so deeply, so these princes who should have been sent to other places long ago stayed, but there is a saying that is true, when people know more, they will actually find that what they don't know is even more important. many.

Chapter 884 The Last Chance

In fact, it's not to blame Li Ke and others for risking their lives, it's really because the previous policy towards the prince was too much.

To put it bluntly, in order to prevent the prince from rashly participating in the battle between the succession of the throne, the arrangements for the prince in the past dynasties are actually mainly based on freeing them.

Anyway, it's delicious food and drink for you, after all, the ability to reincarnate is really top, otherwise you won't get the status of a prince.

Since you are all of royal blood, then naturally you should take good care of them. The Jedi cannot let down the ability of reincarnation.

But don't think about extra things, the long history and envoys of the mansion are all arranged by the court, and after a few years, they will have to be replaced by another batch.

At the same time, although there are fiefs and titles such as governor and governor, they actually have no rights to their own fiefs and places.

Basically, it is equivalent to a shareholder who has been deprived of voting rights and can only wait for dividends.

If there are really unscrupulous princes who want to get involved in local government affairs or even military affairs, I am afraid that as soon as they start, they will be directly reported by spies and spies with various identities such as servants and envoys.

Then there were officials and people coming to wipe out the rebellious party, and finally everyone got promoted and made a fortune together.

To put it bluntly, these spies and officials rely on these princes to survive, but they want to get benefits, not to please these princes.

In their eyes, these princes are nothing more than beckoning cats. It is best to quickly rebel and seize the throne, and then they will inform and arrest a dragon.

That's right, that's how they made their fortunes, and they even frantically united to think of ways to persuade the prince to rebel, and then secretly reported, and finally came back to keep silent, but in fact the evidence and so on had already been prepared.

Doesn't the emperor know about such a method?

Of course I know, if you can't control something like a spy, what's the use of asking for it?

The reason for this situation is entirely because this is what the emperor wants to see. After all, there is no creature like the emperor who does not care about face.

Obviously wishing that the best thing is to kill all the other brothers and nephews quickly, but you can't come directly, then this coincides with the thoughts of those spies and officials, you have to exchange them for advancement, That's just right, I don't like them too, what a coincidence!

In addition to these, there are some dynasties that are even more outrageous. Maybe the emperors have different personalities. Some emperors really don’t save face at all. .

Anyway, to put it bluntly, being a prince is actually a job with high benefits and high risks. If you get it right, you will be rich and safe for a lifetime, but if you get it wrong, the whole family will be killed.

If it is Li Ke and others in the past, or Li Ke, Li Tai and others in history, maybe they will have other thoughts because of Li Shimin's coquettish operation of promoting other sons to compete with Li Chengqian.

But in this world, hehe, Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo have clearly expressed their support, and the biological mother, Empress Changsun, has provided full support, and outside, there is also the uncle of Changsun Wuji, the head of all officials, who is standing up. In addition, Li Chengqian's performance is getting better and better under Zhang Nuo's training and training.

It can be said that Li Chengqian's crown prince is so stable that it makes people despair.

And it was this situation, combined with his "sinful" blood, that caused Li Ke to have no interest in the throne itself and turned to pursue other things.

He didn't want the life he just started to see the end at a glance. He hoped that he was a useful person, a person who could fight with his own ability, instead of being raised as a fat pig for a lifetime.

It's not just him, Li Tai is also the same. He is very talented in literature and miscellaneous studies. Whether at school or at home, he has always been praised by everyone. Children are like this. If you praise him, Of course he wanted to keep this kind of praise going!

This led him to want to make some noise in literature and miscellaneous studies.However, the current situation is that the court has always been very disgusted with the fact that these princes did not go to the vassal state but went to college in Chang'an City.

This kind of resentment was not only aimed at Li Ke, Li You, and Li Yin, who were not direct relatives of the princes. Li Tai was born to the eldest grandson of the empress, but in fact, Li Tai was the one who was scolded the most.

Because he is the one who is most qualified to compete with Li Chengqian. Everyone is living such a comfortable life now. If this is messed up by you, how will your life be?

Is the business still going?Are you still going to Yihong Courtyard?Are the kids still reading?

For these people, they are inherent interest groups, and what they hope most is to keep it like this forever, which is in their best interest.

Even if there is a change, it is best to change it under their control. They are the most disgusted by this kind of crap, because the risk is too great and the return is too little, so it is not worth it for them to fight like this .

Isn't it nice to live your own little life in peace?

It is precisely because of this mentality that the princes in front of them are really having a hard time in their lives. This is why the relationship between them is not so good, but they came here to fight together.

As the biggest among the current princes except for Li Chengqian, they themselves have already reached the imminent level. If their identity problems are not resolved, they can only go to the fief according to the previous arrangement and become fat pigs who don't know anything. .

As for doing research by yourself after going to the fiefdom?Hehe, who gave you the courage to make you feel that you can mess around in the fief?

No matter what kind of research, you need to invest, study, and practice. Don't look at the fief and you are the most beautiful boy in the local area, but in reality, you are just enshrined in a shrine, and don't think about other things.

Live life honestly behind closed doors, even if it is extravagant, it is nothing, after all, it is the royal blood, this bit of enjoyment is still there, and the others are gone.

Therefore, whether it is Li Ke, Li Tai, or Li You and Li Yin who are behind them, their age has reached the time when they have to fight. Here's the chance, even if their younger brothers and sisters win such rights in the future, it won't cover them, the princes who have already settled down.So, they only have this one chance!

Chapter 885

After Li Ke finally had the opportunity to explain, he didn't dare to hide anything, and told Empress Zhangsun all his thoughts straightforwardly without any concealment.

He finally understood that even though he was considered excellent among his peers, in fact, when he really faced the eldest grandson queen who was fully armed, his little thoughts were useless at all.

Because when it comes to the bosses at this level, those small tricks are really just small tricks. They only distinguish benefits. You threaten my son’s crown prince. So don’t care how kind you were treated before. The old lady is going to die.

At this moment, Li Ke doesn't have the valiant look when he came here at half o'clock in the morning. What he thinks now is, what a joke!

Right now, he feels like his brain is buzzing, and he just wants to get over this scene as soon as possible. He doesn't have any thoughts at the moment, and this scene this morning almost scared him. He is dead, and now he regrets that he has a brain hole, so he asked people to come together to find the queen mother for a showdown.

However, there is no point in regretting at this time, they have already reached this point, and those who should show their cards have also shown their cards, and the rest is up to Empress Changsun's decision.

Li Tai is also trembling in his calves right now, he regrets it the most, mother, why did he listen to Li Ke rashly and come here to pursue some kind of freedom?

Obviously this is his own mother, he could have communicated with him in private first, but in the end it was like forcing the palace, this is not intentional to make his mother angry.

I think he is also a shrewd and accustomed person on weekdays, so he fell into Li Ke's evil tricks for some reason.

After listening to Li Ke's explanation silently, Empress Changsun turned her head and looked at the other princes expressionlessly and said in a deep voice,

"Qing Que, Li You, Li Yin, do you think so too?"

For those who have been named, where is there any way out at this time?Of course, I can only bite the bullet and nod and say yes!

Empress Changsun glanced at the few cubs lying on the ground shivering like quails below, and suddenly said something that surprised everyone,

"Chengqian, what do you think of these younger brothers' thoughts?"

A few youngsters who were lying on the ground like turtles just now, when they heard Cheng Qian's name, they immediately raised their heads to look up, and then they realized that Li Chengqian had been standing outside the palace gate at some point, even None of them knew how long Li Chengqian had been here.

The brats were also shocked at the moment, wondering what the big brother, who is now more and more powerful and better, thinks of them.

At the same time, the few of them also murmured in their hearts, why did Empress Changsun ask Li Chengqian for his opinion?Should they be handed over to the boss?

However, without allowing them to think too much, Li Chengqian had already walked in and bowed in a respectful manner.

"Queen Mother, I feel that it is good for the younger brothers to have their own ideas. We, as the blood of the royal family, should not spend our lives doing nothing. The younger brothers want to make achievements in other industries, and I feel that Maybe you are making a name for my royal family!"

Li Chengqian's answer undoubtedly made Empress Changsun a little unhappy. Why, your mother and I have worked so hard to stop these little bastards for you, are you still not satisfied?Just want to set them free?

"Chengqian, if they come into contact with military power or shine in certain industries, what about your position as the heir apparent?"

As soon as these words came out, the kneeling boys below also pricked up their ears, and even secretly looked at Li Chengqian. They knew clearly that this was actually the most tangled part of Empress Changsun.

But after Li Chengqian heard what Empress Changsun said, not only did he not feel nervous, but instead smiled slightly, straightened his waist and said in a deep voice,

"Mother, son, as the eldest son of the royal family, he was granted the title of crown prince by his father's trust. The position of crown prince is naturally mine. As for the future, in the eyes of son, if it is mine, it will be mine, except No one can take away the father, the queen and the queen! And the son will use his own performance to prove that the father, the mother and the teacher are absolutely right!"

It has to be said that several years of experience has made Li Chengqian really confident. The gentle boy in the past could not speak such domineering words.

However, Empress Changsun laughed happily!

Well done!Bengong's son should be so outstanding and confident!

"Okay, since you don't care about it yourself, then I don't bother to care about your affairs. However, Li Ke, Li Tai, Li You, Li Yin, if you want to just turn around and start To develop in other industries, this kind of thing is not something I can decide!"

"After all, you also understand that once this kind of thing starts, it will not be limited to you, but will have a major impact on the entire royal family. Therefore, only your father can decide this kind of thing, and even your Uncle Qin can only do it." If you can give me some advice from the sidelines, I even feel that with your Uncle Qin's temperament, maybe you won't even give any advice!"

Having said that, Empress Changsun couldn't help chuckling twice, and then continued,

"If you are lucky, if your Uncle Qin is willing to say a few words or even give you some advice, maybe you can really convince your father."

Hearing this, the little brats lying on the bottom finally breathed a sigh of relief, mother, their souls were almost scared out, and finally they finally achieved their goal, and they will kill them to stop doing such risky things in the future, it’s so frightening .

But Empress Changsun hasn't finished speaking yet, the most important thing is at the end.

"However, since you have all found me to talk about these things, then you must go to the battlefield to meet your father. These things cannot be recorded in writing, let alone passed on to others, so I just You can make it through!"
