Daily life of cat villains

Before Li Chengqian abolished the crown prince, Changsun Wuji had never expressed his views on the position of crown prince.Later, Li Chengqian was demoted to be a commoner, but he actively wrote a letter, resolutely opposing the establishment of Li Tai as the prince.

Changsun Wuji never helped Li Chengqian, nor did he speak ill of Chengqian.Putting it on others, this is neutral, but he is Li Chengqian's uncle, which can be explained as avoiding suspicion, or it can be explained that he is not optimistic about Li Chengqian.

Xu Zhe contradicted Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji immediately shut up.

What I said just now was for Li Shimin's sake. If he doesn't learn well, no matter how anxious others are, there is nothing he can do.

Li Shimin frowned and looked at Xu Zhe, both angry and reluctant to vent his anger on him.Finally, he sighed deeply, "Take a good rest. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it when you recover. Auxiliary machine, let's go."

Li Yuanji followed them out to see them off.

After a while, Li Yuanji came back and heaved a sigh of relief, "Li Shimin has been an emperor all these years, I feel ashamed when I look at him."

"This is the charm of power." Xu Zhe said, "Everything that should come has come, let people tear things down."

Li Yuanji called the maid to come and clean up the house, Xu Zhe got up from the bed, and the two went to the next room.

"Just now when Li Zhi came, I happened to meet Li Shimin at the gate of the palace. Li Shimin said that he was too young to pass his illness, so he didn't let him come, and took him away."

"Alright, save yourself the trouble."

Li Yuanji asked: "Why don't you see Mrs. Su come over? And Li Xiang, he must be quite young, right?" "Maybe he is not sure whether he should come or not, and he sent eunuchs and maids over to inquire." Xu Zhe told himself I talked to Li Yuanji about the matter with the Su family, "It's also thanks to Li Chengqian for caring about the incomplete body, otherwise if you want to solve the trouble with the backyard, you will have to bear the stigma."

If there is no such thing, the worst choice is to hang around with the eunuch Le Ren all day like the original Li Chengqian.

Li Yuanji said, "The stigma is the stigma, I am not afraid of it. It's just that this is too wronged brother."

Xu Zhe smiled, "If Chengqian knew what you said, he would definitely not be able to help scolding you."

Occupying someone else's body, it's okay to live a lifetime in vain, and even despise him for being lame.

"Just scold me, he really dragged down my brother. In the final analysis, it's Li Shimin's fault, all the babies born are weak..." The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and finally stopped.

No matter how reluctant you are, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and no matter how much you say, you can't change it.And the eldest brother is now Li Chengqian, saying that Li Chengqian is not good means that the eldest brother is not good.

Xu Zhe patted his head, "Okay, it will get better in the future."

After Li Shimin returned to the palace, the East Palace announced to the public that the prince needed to rest and recuperate, and thanked guests behind closed doors and would not see anyone again.At the same time, the news of the prince's serious illness intensified.

After waiting for a few more days, Xu Zhe still didn't feel better. The imperial doctor also gave a positive answer, saying that even if the crown prince survived, his body would still be seriously injured. .

In desperation, Li Shimin could only discuss with the courtiers about changing the crown prince.

Everything is going on as planned.

Because Xu Zhe was "seriously ill", Li Yuanji couldn't give Li Tai a cat, so he raised it first.Unexpectedly, even if he didn't take in other cats, there would still be more and more cats in the cattery.A few adult cats had sex secretly. At first, they were only slightly fat, and it was not until later that they found out that they were pregnant.

Li Yuanji was very angry, but he was reluctant to kill the cat.This was the first time he saw a cat being pregnant, and it was quite novel, so he ran to Xu Zhe again after he was entangled, talking about the cat.

Xu Zhe listened to him patiently, and finally said, "If we can leave here, let's go to the south, buy a yard, and raise a few cats ourselves."

"Is it possible?" Li Yuanji never thought that he could leave the imperial city.

The eldest brother is now Li Shimin's son in name, and he will definitely be crowned king in the future.Li Shimin may not be willing to let him go to the fiefdom, so if he is not sure, he will watch it under his nose.

"As long as you think about it, you can do it."

Li Yuanji's life is full of hope again.

The candidate for the new crown prince has not been determined yet, so Xu Zhe must act in a low-key manner, even in the East Palace, he cannot do as he pleases.It was inconvenient for him to inquire about the matters in the court, and he also asked his subordinates to restrain their behavior and act like they were indifferent to the world.

Li Shimin definitely hoped that he would completely cut off contact with the court, but if he did, he would never know how he would die in the future.

If you come secretly, you will be charged if you are found out. The safest thing is to explain it to him and put all your concerns on the surface.Fortunately, Li Shimin is a reasonable monarch. If it were someone else, don't even think about it, he would definitely not agree.

Li Yuanji was the only person around Xu Zhe he could trust, and he had no intention of developing other confidants.Li Yuanji's mind hasn't improved much compared to before, but he has changed his habit of asserting his own opinions, restrained his arrogance, and is not so impulsive. It is very appropriate for him to go out for diplomacy.

Li Yuanji was also very happy to help, every time he went out he was full of enthusiasm, and when he came back he was like a big dog, running to Xu Zhe for praise.

After a few months like this, Li Shimin began to teach Li Zhi and suppress Li Tai's forces. Although the crown prince had not made a decision, the courtiers had a tacit understanding and did not mention this matter anymore.After compiling Li Tai's "Kuo Di Zhi", he got verbal praise, and some gold and silver property, but he didn't get any substantive power.

It was only then that Li Tai realized that the privilege of being an "unofficial official" back then was not a good thing.

Xu Zhe's "illness" gradually stabilized, but he still closed the door to thank guests and recuperate in the palace.

That day Li Yuanji came back angrily, and as soon as he entered the door, he pushed everyone away, sat on the table and poured water on himself.

"What's wrong? Who messed with you?" Xu Zhe had nothing to do at home, got a few crutches, and walked a little slower with crutches, and basically couldn't see the disability in his legs.He slowly sat down next to Li Yuanji and asked in a gentle voice.

Li Yuanji's facial features almost wrinkled together, finally put down his cup, looked at Xu Zhe nervously, "Brother..."

"Ok?"

"You already knew that, didn't you?"

"what do you know?"

"Li Shimin asked Li Fu and Li Ming to adopt our name...and, moreover, Li Ming's mother and concubine...is the Yang family!"

Li Shimin married three Yang families, one was Li Ke's mother and the daughter of Emperor Sui Yang.The other is Yang Guifei, Li Fu's mother.The last one is Li Ming's mother and Li Yuanji's wife, Princess Qi Yang.

Xu Zhe didn't speak, and acquiesced.

Li Yuanji clenched his hands and clacked, and didn't know what to say for a while.He drank more water and forced himself to calm down.

Xu Zhe said before that Li Shimin was sorry for him, if he knew his true identity, he would probably kill him.Li Yuanji didn't ask what happened at the time, but there were so many things that happened later that he forgot them.

It wasn't until this time that Tubo Prime Minister Gal Dongzan came to ask for a marriage. Li Shimin didn't agree at first, but went full of etiquette, entertained guests, and called all the princes to accompany him. Only then did he notice the name of him and Xu Zhe. Two princes.

Li Yuanji inquired, and found that Li Ming was actually the child of his concubine and Li Shimin.

Yang died shortly after giving birth. Li Yuanji didn't feel bad for Li Ming, but felt disgusted by Li Shimin.

"Brother! I feel bad!" Li Yuanji said.

Xu Zhe knew that the two Li Shimin were not the same person, so it was not easy to tell Li Yuanji about such things.And it's useless to say it, it can only make him more entangled.

He patted Li Yuanji on the shoulder, "It's all over, don't use his mistakes to embarrass yourself. If you are unhappy, then hate him. It's because the elder brother didn't think carefully. If you don't want to see him, you don't have to do it again in the future." Go to the palace and pick a few more people to do it."

"I haven't." Li Yuanji said, "Brother, please let me take it easy. I just can't accept it for a while, and it will be fine after a while."

Xu Zhe sat with him, comforting him silently.

After a while, Li Yuanji said: "That Gal Dongzan seems to have come to Datang several times, all for Princess Shang. Li Shimin didn't agree to it a few times ago, but their emperor should be called Zanpu. Their Zanpu Songtsan Gampo was about to attack several small countries such as Tuyuhun and Dangxiang, to threaten Datang, and told Li Shimin that if the princess was not married, he would go to war.

"Li Shimin is not so easy to bully. He directly sent Hou Junji, Niu Jinda, and Liu Lan over there. Before Hou Junji's army arrived, Niu Jinda defeated Tubo. Hou Junji and his troops swept Tuyuhun, Dang Xiang, Bai Lanqiang. Songtsan Gambo was scared of being beaten, so he quickly apologized and pleaded guilty, and asked Princess Shang by the way. Do they have no women over there? Do you want to marry our princess? Don’t you know that Li Shimin just didn’t want to marry the princess? Is there a war?"

Xu Zhe had this part of memory, and explained to Li Yuanji: "Songtsan Gampo just sat in Zanpu's position, and they were divided into several tribes, each tribe has combat power, and they all waited for the opportunity to move. Songtsan Gambra was dismounted. He came to ask for marriage precisely because Datang was powerful."

Li Yuanji said, "It's a pity that I was not able to go on an expedition with the army. The Tang Dynasty was not that strong before, and it was evenly matched in a fight. I haven't tried it yet. Before I reach the enemy's country, I should scare them out of their nerves."

He envied Hou Junji so much, he had met all kinds of opponents before.

The leader is outside the border, the emperor supports him, the national strength is sufficient, no one restrains him, he can ride his horse and run at will, and fight the enemy when he sees it. What a fun thing.Even if Hou Junji is about to come to an end, he has no regrets after having such an experience.

Xu Zhe said: "Subduing others without fighting is the best strategy for using troops. Fighting is for peace in the future. Isn't the current situation better than when Hou Junji sent troops?"

Li Yuanji curled his lips.

He still likes to fight, just for the sake of fighting.

Xu Zhe couldn't talk to him, Li Yuan, Dou's, and the original Li Jiancheng didn't teach him well, and it was even more impossible for him to correct Li Yuanji, so he could only urge him not to let him do wrong things.

Xu Zhe asked: "Since the Prime Minister of Tubo has come, it seems that Li Shimin has let go and agreed to marry the princess."

Li Yuanji said, "He picked a woman from the clan and canonized her as Princess Wencheng. There is also Princess Jincheng who will marry her too. Wencheng's wedding is set for next year."

"It's hard for them."

Even though the national power is strong, they still have to leave their homeland and go to remote places.

Li Yuanji said, "I still can't figure out why Li Shimin agreed. Did Songtsan Gampo wear him out of patience?"

Xu Zhe thought to himself, he must have weighed the pros and cons of many aspects before making a decision.Before he could organize his words, Li Yuanji came up with the answer by himself, "He is not a normal person, what he does is far more invisible to others."

For example, Concubine Yang, who married him, gave birth to a son who was adopted under his name.
