I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

"Wait... Yang's body recovers, and I'll set off." Zhou Xiaosan sighed, and it was still a bit unnatural when talking about this matter, "At most half a month."

Yin Xuan shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry."

"How are you and Yang doing recently?"

Zhou Xiaosan sighed, took a sip of wine, and shook his head: "Please trouble Dalang, but... she just came out of that purgatory."

"It will be a while, don't worry about this."

Yin Xuan asked: "Do you want me to help her get rid of her low status?"

For him now, it was just a casual remark - maybe Zhangsun Wuji and the others would jump, but it didn't matter, at worst, go to the Ministry of War to pull out the stick and break a few people's legs.

Zhou Xiaosan shook his head again, took another sip of his drink, gritted his teeth and said, "Please trouble Dalang, but... I can definitely do it myself."

Let Yin Xuan rescue Yang from a place like Jiaosifang, Zhou Xiaosan's heart is already riddled with holes.

If everything is taken care of by Dalang himself.

Zhou Xiaosan felt...then she should dress up, put on her wedding dress, get married, and be Da Lang's subordinate, planning something for Da Lang.

Yin Xuan nodded, and picked up a few strings.

There were guests coming from outside the door, Di Renjie greeted them, Yin Xuan stepped forward and walked outside.

Zhou Xiaosan was frowning, but there was no change in He Ri's expression.

The same two people, the same look.

In the imperial city.

Li Shimin also looked at the frowning Li Tai with the same expressionless expression.

"I want you to offer wine to the Taixue, what do you think?"

Li Tai maintained his bowing posture, but didn't speak.

If it was Li Chengqian, at this moment, he probably felt that his father was jealous of him, and was going to neglect him, and send him to such a desolate and miserable place as Taixue.

But he is not Li Chengqian after all.

He knew that his father's intention was to beat him up by doing this - because the last time he dealt with Li Zhi hadn't passed yet?

Or...the fact that I contributed to Li Chengqian's troubles, gave away a little bit of flaws?
But these things have already passed for a long time, why did the emperor still beat himself.

Of course... besides beating, there is also the intention to think about oneself.

Li Tai also knows what the so-called Taixue is like. A Taixue is like a small society. Taking charge of a Taixue is no different from governing a side of water and soil, and it is even more complicated.

I also want to see if I have the ability to be an emperor?
This is a good thing.

If by any chance, really, maybe Li Chengqian has this brain and figured it out, then he will be ecstatic and accept this job.

But Li Tai was not very willing.

His situation is somewhat different from Li Chengqian's.

If Li Chengqian didn't want to die, then he was a stable prince. They were younger brothers, and they didn't threaten Li Chengqian at all.

But he is different, there is a big threat behind him.

Li Zhi.

It's almost winter this year, and next year's spring will not even be four months away. If Li Zhi succeeds in the imperial examination, if...the father prefers Li Zhi more.

Then I'm afraid... I will have to sit down for this sacrificial wine.

As a prince, to become the sacrificial wine of an imperial school, and firmly control this imperial school in the hands of the royal family, isn't this a matter of course?
"Father, I think...what I have learned has nothing to do with reasoning and judging cases." Li Tai gritted his teeth and refused, "I can offer wine to the Imperial College."

The same is the sacrificial wine, the difference between Guozijian and Taixue is too great.

Li Shimin was still expressionless: "Do you think your talent and learning can compare with Chongyuan?"

Startled, Li Tai shook his head quickly.

Chongyuan is Kong Yingda, a person of high status in the Tang Dynasty, who is also temporarily holding the position of offering sacrifices to the Imperial Academy. In terms of talent and learning, Li Tai thinks that he is not as good as Kong Yingda.

In fact... I am afraid there are not many people who can compare with Kong Yingda in terms of talent and learning. Even the Duke Zhengyang, I am afraid that he cannot compare with Kong Yingda in terms of knowledge in the Four Books and Five Classics.

"Do you still have questions?" Li Shimin looked at Li Tai and asked again.

Li Tai nodded with a wry smile.

He originally thought that his father called him over to talk about this matter in private because he wanted to discuss it with him, but now... he understood.

This is clearly not a negotiation, but an order.

He complied.

Turning around and leaving the imperial city, walking towards his own mansion, he sent a letter along the way, a letter addressed to Changsun's mansion.

Li Tai felt that he needed support.

On the grandson's house.

Changsun Wuji looked at the slightly scribbled letter from Li Tai, and raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously not expecting that his nephew would send such a letter at this time.

The text in the letter is not without expressing goodwill.

But... Changsun Wuji is actually not very willing to support this nephew.

He is more optimistic about Li Zhi.

Of course...it's not because he likes Li Zhi, or because he thinks Li Zhi's talent is better than Li Tai's. On the contrary, he really thinks that Li Zhi's talent is not as good as Li Tai's, so he wants to support Li Zhi.

Li Tai is too talented and too ambitious.

If Li Tai were to be his lord, I'm afraid... the Guanlong family would fall into Li Tai's hands, but Li Zhi was different. Although he had some talents, he was weak-tempered.

Even if Guan Long becomes bigger by then, he will appear a little arrogant.

As long as he said a few good words, Li Zhi might be able to let them go.

A cowardly person is better to get along with than an ambitious person.

However, the content of the letter really touched Changsun Wuji's heart.

Li Tai is willing to help Changsun Wuji and the others to deal with Zhou Xiaosan, in exchange for... is to want Changsun Wuji and the others to support him in court.

Maybe meet up?
Waiting for the next rest, when Li Tai and Changsun Wuji "meet by chance" in Pingkangfang, as a nephew, he naturally wanted to entertain his uncle.

After a few chats.

The dancing girl withdrew, leaving only the two of them in the room.

"Zhou Xiaosan, how do you plan to deal with Qingque?" Changsun Wuji showed due kindness to his nephew, calling out his nickname instead of his nickname.

Li Tai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Changsun Wuji to be so straight to the point.

He picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "What's so difficult about it, just... just keep him speechless."

Changsun Wuji was thoughtful: "How are you going to make him speechless?"

"It's cold here, and something will always happen." Li Tai sighed, showing a compassionate image, "The train is a good thing."

"But over the years, I have cheated a few times and hurt some people..."

"If there is an accident at this time, it seems to be a very reasonable thing?"

Speaking of this, Li Tai laughed and pushed the wine glass over.
