I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen's words made Li Zhi's face change instantly, and he looked at Li Shen with some sharp eyes.

Li Shen was not to be outdone and looked at Li Zhi with a smile on his face.

You little brat, you're trying to play the same trick on me, Li Shen thought to himself.

When Li Zhi saw Li Shen's smile, his eyes became even sharper, with a hint of murderous intent.

This Li Shen is too bad. How can we expect him to govern the world?

Only the emperor governs the world, and in the future only the prince will be the one who governs the world.

When Li Shen said this, wasn't he saying that he was preparing to fight for the throne?

Even if you know some things, you can't talk about them openly.

Just as Li Shimin knew that Li Tai and Li Zhi had ambitions for the throne.

But I have never said such words to them.

Li Shen actually said in this occasion today that he wanted to fight for the world.

Whether or not he really wanted to fight for the throne, this matter could not be said.

What would their emperor father think?

Sure enough, when Li Zhi looked up, he saw Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were both looking at him.

Li Zhi was filled with hatred and quickly explained:

"Old Ten, stop talking nonsense. When did I ever say I would rule the world? This world will belong to my eldest brother, the Crown Prince.

As brothers, we can only help and assist the eldest brother.

Serving the court and helping the prince."

Li Zhi expressed his true feelings and spoke righteously.

Empress Changsun nodded continuously.

Only Li Shimin's eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking. However, the look in his eyes when he looked at Li Zhi was much softer.

"Okay, there's no need to say anything else. Starting tomorrow, I will personally supervise your training.

They had to get up early in the morning, train for half an hour, have lunch, and then the army set out.

The same thing happens when we set up camp at night.”

Li Shimin looked at the three brothers. He saw the look Li Zhi had just given Li Shen, so he interrupted Li Zhi's emotions.

He really didn't want his sons to kill each other.

What he feared most was that Li Zhi would do something out of line to Li Shen again, and Li Shen would most likely kill Li Zhi at that time.

After all, Li Zhi was his youngest legitimate son, born to Empress Zhangsun, so he must be more emotionally attached to him.

If Li Shen dared to lead his troops into the Prince of Jin's Mansion and beat Li Zhi up, he might end up killing Li Zhi.

Li Shen did not need to do it himself. His son was insidious and cunning. With a few tricks, he could easily capture Li Zhi by causing some accidents.

What's more, Li Shen has the sharp knife in his hand.

By then, there might not be any evidence to convict Li Shen.

So he promised Li Zhi not to harm Li Shen, which was also to save his life.

As for Li Tai, Li Shimin is not very worried at the moment, as his son is a top student with outstanding literary talent.

It seems that there is not much hatred between him and Li Shen now.

After hearing what Li Shimin said, the three of them immediately stood up and said in unison:

"I will follow Aye's orders."

After dinner, everyone went back home. Li Shimin and Empress Changsun stayed in the central military tent.

"Erlang, do you want Zhinu to leave the clan?"

They were an old couple, and Empress Changsun knew very well what Li Shimin was thinking.

"Oh, that's exactly what I meant."

Li Shimin drank his tea and nodded, with a hint of melancholy in his tone.

Empress Changsun came behind Li Shimin and massaged his shoulders.

In fact, she couldn't bear to leave Li Zhi, and no mother would be willing to let her son leave her.

A mother worries when her son is away from home, especially when she doesn’t know when they will be able to meet again.

But she had no choice because of her ancestral precepts. Li Zhi was already very satisfied that he could still stay in Chang'an all these years.

"Erlang, let him go to his fiefdom. The ancestral teachings cannot be violated. It's good enough for him to stay in Chang'an until he is twenty years old.

He has grown up." Empress Chang Sun said reluctantly.

"My dear Guanyin, I kept Chi Nu not only because I wanted to keep him by my side, but I also hoped that he could help Gao Ming.

And there is more?" Empress Chang Sun asked doubtfully.

He could understand the first two reasons, having heard Li Shimin talk about them, but he did not expect there would be another reason.

"Guanyinbi, did you just see his relationship with the Tenth Prince?" Li Shimin asked back.

"I did see it, and I feel like these two people are not very good."

Empress Changsun recalled that it was indeed true that Li Zhi and Li Shen were not getting along well.

"It's not that it's not good, but there is a big grudge. I have told you many things.

I had hoped that Chi Nu could learn from his mistakes and repent, but unfortunately, he treated Lao Shi as a troublemaker.

I kept Zhinu in Chang'an for his own good. Zhinu was too shady in his actions.

He also has a grudge against Li Shen, and I am afraid that if he angers Li Shen, Li Shen will kill him."

"killed?"

After hearing what Li Shimin said, Empress Changsun was shocked.

She originally thought it was just a child's play, but now it has turned into a life-and-death feud.

"Erlang, do Shen'er and Zhinu have such a deep hatred?" Empress Changsun asked with some concern.

"Alas, I don't want them to have such a big hatred, but Zhinu will never give up.

I left him in Chang'an to keep an eye on him and prevent him from doing anything to Li Shen.

Lao Shi now has great power in his hands, which is not comparable to Chi Nu. "

Li Shimin was also helpless.

"Then let Zhinu go to his fiefdom." Empress Changsun finally agreed.

"I am struggling with this matter now. If Zhinu is transferred back to his fiefdom, he will have no constraints at that time. The hatred between him and Lao Shi is so deep.

I am not sure what he can do. If he goes to take revenge on Old Ten, how do you think Old Ten will treat him?

Moreover, I am not sure whether Lao Shi will take revenge on Zhi Nu after he goes to his fiefdom.

I have not let him leave the domain in order to protect his life."

As a father, Li Shimin was also helpless and took great pains for his son.

"This...this...is there no way to resolve the hatred between the two of them?" Empress Changsun was a little panicked when she heard this.

Which mother can bear the fact that her own son could be killed at any time?

"Alas, I am also trying to find a solution. Otherwise, after I pass away, Gao Ming may not be able to control the two of them.

I had this in mind when I let Qingque and Zhinu follow Old Ten to Qinghai.

Now it seems that the relationship between Qingque and Lao Shi has eased.

There will be no conflicts when they separate in the future.

But today, it seems that Chi Nu still harbors resentment and is still brooding over Old Ten."

Li Shimin sighed lightly. He knew that if they really fought, Li Zhi would be no match for Li Shen.

Li Shimin liked his son Li Shen. Another reason was that Li Shen was kind-hearted and treated his brothers and sisters very well.

Every time a sister got married, Prince Ji’s Mansion would send a large dowry in the name of Li Shen.

Brothers from all over the country, Li Shen, will also let Prince Ji's estate take care of some of the assets.

This is what Li Shimin values ​​most about Li Shen.
