    "Sixth brother, I appreciate your hospitality today, but I have always wanted to ask you something." After Li Chengqian said this, he raised his head and glanced at Li Min, and then continued, "You are my father's favorite son, and  What brother Wei committed in Chang'an was another crime of rebellion, but since I arrived in Dengzhou, you have always treated Wei brother and his family with courtesy. This makes me a little confused. If it were anyone else, whether it was Yu Gong  Or privately, you will definitely draw a clear line with me, let alone such warm hospitality?"

    Hearing Li Chengqian ask this question, Li Min laughed loudly and said: "Brother, brother, don't you understand? Although my father is very angry at the wrong things you have done, after all, the nature of father and son, even if the son commits a crime  No matter how big the mistake is, it is still the son of the father. With the temper of the father, he will not be really angry with you at all. But as an emperor, he must show a clear attitude of rewards and punishments, so he will  You were demoted from Chang'an, but I bet that as long as you stay outside for a few years, you will definitely come back to Chang'an!"

    Hearing Li Min's words, Li Chengqian also felt mentally shaken. Ever since the rebellion, his mind had been in a haze, and he had not thought carefully about the people and things around him during this period. Now after Li Min reminded him, Li Chengqian  Only then did he suddenly realize that although he had committed such a serious crime as treason, his father still didn't want to kill him, and even sent him to his third brother Li Ke. Although he was far away from Chang'an, it still kept him away from Chang'an.  The meaning of that place of right and wrong.

    Thinking of the arrangements his father Li Shimin had made for him, Li Chengqian suddenly felt ashamed and couldn't stop crying.  At the same time, he said in a whimpering tone: "II am sorry to my father and emperor and my mother, and I am also ashamed to the common people of the Tang Dynasty!"

    Seeing Li Chengqian crying bitterly.  Li Min also sighed, maybe until today.  Li Chengqian has truly regretted his mistakes, but the other party's mood is already depressed enough now. If he adds this self-blame, he will probably die earlier than in history. If he remembers correctly, it seems  After Li Chengqian was demoted, he died in depression not long after.

    Thinking of the women and children in Li Chengqian's family, Li Min felt that he needed to explain to each other. After all, the two of them didn't have much hatred.  Besides, it is impossible for Li Chengqian to make a comeback in the future after he has fallen to this point. For moral reasons, even if the other person is a stranger, it is worth saving, let alone that the other person is still his eldest brother.

    Thinking of this, Li Min sighed deliberately and said: "Actually, brother, although you are wrong in this matter, there is no real right or wrong in matters in the court. Brother, I also have some understanding of your situation at the time. If it is really  When it comes to it, my father, you, and fourth brother are all at fault, and the reason why you, eldest brother, made this move is actually just to protect yourself!"

    When Li Chengqian heard the word ¡®self-protection¡¯ uttered by Li Min.  His whole body trembled, and his face seemed to have found a confidant. He grabbed Li Min's hand very excitedly and said, "Sixth brother. I didn't expect that the person who can understand me the most is you. Everyone says I'm confused."  Damn it. But how did they know that the fourth brother was indulged by his father. He has been coveting my position as the prince for a long time, and my father was partial to him in every way. If I didn't do that, then I would probably be deposed as well.  Along the way, it may even be difficult to save the life of the whole family!¡±

    Li Min was originally just giving words of comfort, but he didn't expect that he suddenly hit on Li Chengqian's grievances, which is why he showed such a gaffe.  However, Li Min, whose hand was grabbed by Li Chengqian, felt goosebumps all over his body, because he suddenly thought that his eldest brother's sexual orientation seemed a bit abnormal. Although the two were brothers, it also made Li Min psychologically  Feeling very uncomfortable.

    Thinking of this, Li Min calmly took out his hand, and then changed the topic: "But brother, don't blame the fourth brother too much. Although he pushed you everywhere at the beginning, he just wanted to become the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but now  From my point of view, all the brothers currently staying in Chang'an may become the next prince, but only the fourth brother cannot!"

    Hearing Li Min's words, Li Chengqian glanced at him in surprise and asked in confusion: "How is this possible? My father usually loves you and your fourth brother the most, but now you are not in Chang'an, and you have expressed your unwillingness to inherit the throne.  In this way, the fourth brother becomes the only candidate, who else can stop him from becoming the next crown prince now?"

    After hearing this, Li Min shook his head repeatedly and said to Li Chengqian with a smile: "Brother, who told you that the favored prince will definitely become the prince. The matter of establishing the crown prince is related to the country of the Tang Dynasty. Although the father dotes on the fourth brother,  But the fourth brother himself is unlucky and has a bad relationship with the ministers. Coupled with his personality, hey, even if my father dotes on him, he still has to make plans for the country of the Tang Dynasty and the fate of our brothers.  , so I bet that my father will never make the fourth brother the crown prince."

    When Li Min talked about the last part, especially Li Tai¡¯s character, there was a strange disdain on his face. In his previous life, Li Min had heardThere is a famous saying that character determines destiny.  Although he didn't know whether this sentence was really correct, it was the most appropriate to apply to Li Tai. With Li Tai's arrogant and contemptuous temperament, he couldn't even get along with his own brothers. If such a person  If it can achieve something big, then it's really a ghost.

    However, Li Chengqian didn't really believe Li Min's words, but said with a wry smile: "Sixth brother, you underestimate the favor of the fourth brother. Although his temper is a bit arrogant, in the eyes of my father,  But it¡¯s not a big deal, so unless you return to Chang¡¯an, no one can stop him from ascending to the throne of prince.¡±

    Li Min shook his head after hearing this. Just when he was about to say something else, he suddenly saw someone running in from the corner door of the courtyard. When he saw Li Min in the pavilion, he immediately ran over.  It wasn't until the other party came closer that Li Min saw clearly that the person who came in was actually Yang Jiu, who had not been in Dengzhou for a long time. Now that Mei Niang was pregnant, Mr. Yang temporarily managed the intelligence system on her behalf. Yang Jiu and his brothers also  Also in terms of intelligence management, if he breaks in so urgently now, there must be something very important.

    Yang Jiu came to the pavilion, bowed to Li Min and Li Chengqian first, and then took out a letter from his arms and said: "Your Majesty, this is a handwritten letter written by His Majesty to you. It was just sent from Chang'an.  , your majesty please personally open it!"

    When he heard the letter was from his father Li Shimin, Li Min didn't think anything of it. After all, he was his favorite son, and father and son often communicated through letters.  However, Li Chengqian next to him sighed secretly in his heart. He had never received a personal letter from his father despite his age. However, looking at his sixth brother's appearance, he seemed to be very ordinary, which made him feel a little disappointed.  However, Li Chengqian then thought about it. He had been staying with his father since he was a child, so why did he need to write letters?  Thinking of this, he immediately felt relieved.

    Li Min casually took the letter, removed the paint on it, took out the letter inside and read it, while Yang Jiu immediately exited the pavilion and left.  However, when Li Min saw the content of the letter, he was immediately stunned, looked at Li Chengqian strangely, and then lowered his head to read the letter.

    Li Chengqian also noticed the strange expression on Li Min's face, and glanced at himself, and immediately said: "Sixth brother, did your father mention me in the letter?"

    After hearing this, Li Min smiled, handed the letter in his hand to Li Chengqian and said: "Brother, you can read it for yourself. My father not only mentioned you, but also mentioned the matter we discussed just now, although my father has not made up his mind yet.  It¡¯s an idea, but my fourth brother¡¯s dream of becoming a prince may be shattered.¡±

    Li Chengqian took the letter suspiciously, and as soon as he read the beginning, he fell to the ground and cried loudly: "Father, I have failed in your teachings, I am unfilial! I am unfilial~"

    Seeing Li Chengqian crying bitterly, Li Min did not immediately try to persuade him. After all, the other person's mood was too depressed. It would be a good thing to vent at this time.

    The main reason why Li Chengqian lost his temper and cried bitterly was because Li Shimin asked Li Min in his letter to entertain Li Chengqian and his family when they arrived in Dengzhou. He even gave very detailed instructions in the letter, saying that Li Chengqian was not in good health and the child was small.  , coupled with the strong wind and waves on the sea, so Li Min was asked to arrange a strong sea ship to safely transport Li Chengqian and his family to Shanghai.

    Li Chengqian always felt that his father Li Shimin didn't care about him, but only today did he realize that his father cared for him no less than his other brothers, but in a different way. Unfortunately, he realized it too late!

    When Li Chengqian had almost vented his guilt, Li Min helped him up and comforted Li Chengqian a few words, finally calming him down.  However, when Li Chengqian saw the content at the end of the letter, he couldn't help but said to Li Min with envy: "Sixth brother, you are indeed deeply trusted by my father. You are not shy about this kind of thing, and even asked for your opinion."

    Li Shimin's letter mentioned two things in total. The first was to take care of Li Chengqian's family, and the second was to establish the crown prince. In the letter, Li Shimin not only told how he tested Li Tai, but also told his eldest grandson Wu.  Ji did not hide his support for Li Zhi. At the same time, he also expressed his worries about Li Zhi's cowardly character, which would lead to the loss of power. He hoped that Li Min could give him a correct suggestion.

    However, when Li Min heard Li Chengqian's envy, he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, this is a job that offends people. No matter what advice I give to my father, I'm afraid I will offend a bunch of people."

    Hearing Li Min's complaint, Li Chengqian suddenly felt very happy. He pointed at him and laughed and said, "Sixth brother, no one else can blame you for this. Who made you perform so well in front of my father? But you are the only one who has this problem.  I¡¯m afraid there is no one else who can help my father, hahahaha~¡±

    Seeing how Li Chengqian could still laugh so hard when facing the matter of establishing a prince, Li Min finally felt relieved and trusted Li Chengqian.Judging from his current performance, he finally solved the knot of being demoted from Chang'an, otherwise he would never have been able to smile so happily.  (To be continued.)
