Daily life of cat villains

Li Tai changed his original strategy, no longer sticking to being conservative and fighting for favor, and started to go to the yamen he was on duty to do appointments on time, make friends with his colleagues, and even took the initiative to take over the work.

These changes in him were noticed by Li Shimin, and he was a little disappointed with his son.

Disappointment is disappointment. After all, it is the child he has spoiled for so many years, and the relationship is still there.Chengqian was gone, he didn't want to lose even the blue sparrow, so he could only turn a blind eye, did not embarrass him in public, but summoned him less often, wanted him to calm down and figure out what was going on Brothers killing each other, still fulfilling his wish of being a father.

After Xu Zhe's "stable condition", Li Yuanji picked out a few cats and gave one to each of the princes, saying that he was thanking them for caring about Xu Zhe.

What was given to Li Tai was a big white cat, smooth and smooth, and it looked like it had been carefully cared for.Li Yuanji personally instructed him to shave it, ensuring that it was similar to the cat in his memory, and named it Feilian, and personally sent it to Li Tai's residence.

When Li Tai heard that His Majesty had sent something, he went out to greet him in a daze, and became even more confused when he found out that it was a cat.

Li Yuanji said, "His Royal Highness still remembers the cat you raised when you were a child, and said that Fei Lian ran away and lost it. You have been suffering for several days. This cat started to be raised three months ago, and it should have been given to you earlier It's a pity that His Highness has been ill, so it has been delayed until today."

Li Tai had almost forgotten that there was such a cat, but after Li Yuanji reminded him, he finally remembered.

He looked around, "Brother has a heart, it really looks alike."

Then let the servants accept the cat.

After Li Yuanji left, Li Tai put the cat on the table and looked at it over and over again, and the deeply buried memory gradually became clear.

Fei Lian always liked to run to the East Palace, and bumped into the prince at that time, his uncle, several times.

At first, the prince didn't know that it was his cat, and he held it for a long time to play with it, but later he knew that Chengqian Palace had escaped, so he never moved it again.

The relationship between Li Tai and his uncle is not very good. To be honest, because of the conflicts between the elders, he is very afraid of this uncle, and usually avoids him when he sees him.

But he played well with Chengxun and his brothers. They were studying together, they were about the same age, and they often sneaked out to play.

He knew why Fei Lian lost.

The bloody smell of Xuanwumen is too heavy.

Seeing that the cat was still docile, Li Tai held it in his arms and stroked it.

Why did the eldest brother send a cat that is exactly the same as Fei Lian?

Is it to remind him not to repeat the mistakes of Xuanwumen?

Xu Zhe had nothing to do with the turbulent weather outside, nor did he care much about Li Tai's reaction after getting the cat.After pretending to be sick for the second time, his East Palace really became a paradise away from fighting.

It was Li Zhi who ran here from time to time, bickering with Li Yuanji as soon as he came, and when Xu Zhi appeared, the two of them competed again.

Xu Zhe didn't expect Li Yuanji to fight with Li Zhi instead of Su's palace, he was a bit dumbfounded.

Li Shimin also occasionally comes over to relax, just to eat and chat.

He had already made sure that Xu Zhe didn't want to play with his mind anymore. The eldest grandson empress had died of illness for many years, and he didn't want to talk to other concubines. Usually, he didn't even have anyone to talk to in the palace, so Xu Zhe's place became a good place to go.

These days Xu Zhe got along very peacefully with him, which meant that the friendship between gentlemen was as light as water.

When Li Shimin saw that he was there, he and Xinxin also got very close, and asked him quietly why he wanted to keep Xinxin by his side.

Xu Zhe smiled and replied: "Don't you think that Xin Xin is somewhat similar to Yuan Ji?"

Li Shimin thought about it carefully.

Xinxin is slender and thin, with fair skin and affectionate eyebrows. Li Yuanji fought all the year round. He was ugly when he was a child, and he didn't look good when he grew up. He was a dark and ugly young man.

Where are these two people alike?

Xu Zhe said, "Their temperaments are very similar, and with Xinxin by his side, it seems that Yuanji has never left."

Li Shimin felt bad.

His real brother is right in front of him, even if he doesn't have a good relationship with his eldest brother, he is still a real brother!Why guard a fake and remember another brother?

Xu Zhe just laughed at him, it was rare to see Li Shimin showing a childish expression.

After laughing, Xu Zhe said casually, "How old were you when you died?"

Li Shimin froze for a moment, restrained his expression, and looked at him seriously.

Xu Zhe was not afraid at all, "Can't you say it?"

Li Shimin was discouraged: "How did the eldest brother know?"

Xu Zhe said: "Gu just entered the Xuanwu Gate one moment ago, and lost consciousness the next moment. When he woke up, he received your will to grant death and satisfaction. How do you think Gu knew?"

Here at Xu Zhe's place, the two of them had only been separated for a few days.For Li Shimin, it was more than 20 years.

Li Shimin said: "51 years old. I am often weak, and there is nothing I can do in the imperial hospital. Only the elixir made by Taoist priests is effective. But it can't make me last for a few years... Brother, do you think there is any elixir in this world?"

Xu Zhe was silent for a while, "The elixir contains a lot of cinnabar, so it's better to eat less."

He told Li Shimin that he came here as soon as he opened his eyes, and his life experience is not much richer than his.When Li Shimin said this, what he hoped in his heart was an affirmative answer.Even if he said no, Li Shimin could find all kinds of reasons to tell himself that this was not credible.

Li Shimin said: "I know."

Xu Zhe said, "Things here are pretty much handled, I should go too."

"Where are you going?!"

Although the two brothers could not be the same as before, nor did they eliminate the gap, Li Shimin has adapted to his existence.With an elder brother here, when he is at a loss and helpless, he has a home in his heart and can calm down.

Two people, one mother and one compatriot, turned against each other later, and today spanned time, space and yin and yang, forming a deep bond.Li Shimin thought that he would always be by his side.

See with your own eyes that he created the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Xu Zhe said: "I want to see the country under your rule."

Li Shimin was silent.

Xu Zhe didn't speak either.

After a long time, Li Shimin asked, "How do you plan to go, brother?"

"Fake death."

"I will help you, but I have one request."

"You said."

"Brother, please take care of your health. In the last life...Gao Ming died of illness at the age of 25. Brother, take care of yourself so that you can supervise me, work hard and love the people."

He spoke intermittently, and Xu Zhe also felt the deep friendship in it.

For an emperor, these few words are already from the heart.

From today onwards, Xu Zhe will no longer be restrained by him, and he does not have to participate in the struggle of his sons.

He is free.

"Fake death, I can do it myself. It's just that I have to trouble Your Majesty to prepare a corpse similar to mine. The skin color and five senses come second. I have my own way."

Li Shimin agreed.

"There is still Xinxin, I will take him with me. I don't worry about leaving him here alone."

Li Shimin was sour.

These words were kept from other people, including Li Yuanji, except for Xu Zhe and Li Shimin, no third person knew about it.

Li Shimin found someone who was similar in stature to Xu Zhe in the death cell, and quietly sent him to the East Palace.

Xu Zhe got rid of Li Yuanji and prepared the things needed for disguise, and made the corpse into himself like a magic trick.

Because he couldn't trust Li Yuanji's acting skills, this matter was also done without telling him.

On the day Xu Zhe "died of illness", Li Yuanji was extremely surprised. He held the corpse and did not let go. His eyes were red, but he never shed tears, and kept repeating the words "I don't believe it".

Until he was posthumously crowned as Prince Heng, buried in Zhaoling, and buried with the queen, Li Yuanji was in a daze, but his eyes were persistent, and he looked stubborn and terrifying.

Li Shimin also finally understood what Xu Zhe meant when he said that Xinxin resembled Li Yuanji.

After the burial, the family members of the East Palace went to the fief one after another, and Li Yuanji followed Su's carriage in a panic.

A young eunuch chased after him, it was Tian Cong who was beside Li Shimin.

After recognizing him, Li Yuanji sneered, "What else is Li Shimin going to do?"

Tian Cong frowned, but still said: "Your Majesty asked the servant to talk to you. That Highness bought a small courtyard in Suzhou and raised many cats. He is waiting for you. This is the address, please take it , but don’t lose it.”

Li Yuanji was holding the note, his hands were shaking, he looked at Tian Cong fiercely, "If you dare to lie to me, I will make your life miserable!"

Tian Cong also turned cold, "How dare you!" After speaking, he left with a flick of his sleeves.

Li Yuanji left Su's team, knocked out the guards and snatched a horse, got on the horse and ran south.

He ran around without sleep, his eyes were terribly dry.

When the horse was foaming at the mouth, Li Yuanji switched to another horse and continued running, and finally arrived at the place marked on the note three days later.

He wiped the sweat from his hands, which were still pustules from the reins.He didn't care about the physical pain, carefully took out the note, compared it three or four times, and made sure that he didn't find the wrong place.

Li Yuanji stood at the gate of the small courtyard, hesitating for a long time but did not dare to go forward.

Suddenly the door opened, and a black-faced man came out, and asked him in a rough voice, "Who are you looking for?"

Li Yuanji's voice was hoarse, "I... look for my elder brother."

With such a nonsensical answer, most people would think that there is something wrong with his mind.The man didn't scold him, didn't chase him away, but still asked in a rough voice: "What's your elder brother's name?"

Li Yuanji's tears suddenly came down.

He clenched the paper in his hand, choked with sobs, "My elder brother, his name is Li Jiancheng."

The man said: "Come in."

Li Yuanji's heart was beating so fast, he followed behind the man, and when he saw the kitten basking in the sun in the yard, his heart felt sore and astringent.

He thought, the elder brother said before that he would do wrong things, if he felt dissatisfied, just tell him.

If he really sees the eldest brother in a while, he will definitely scold him severely!How could you come here without saying a word?

Li Yuanji didn't dare to think about what he would do if Li Jiancheng wasn't here.

The small courtyard is obviously not big, but it seems to have been gone for a long time.

Li Yuanji finally saw a familiar figure.

The young man changed from his graceful palace robes to the most ordinary and lightest clothes.The hair is simply crowned, without the majesty of the prince, nor the luxury of the prince.

He was holding a cane in his hand, leaning on the tree trunk next to him, and looked at him with a smile, "Why did you come here?"

"Brother..." Li Yuanji realized that he had forgotten everything. He had clearly thought about how to scold him just now, but now he couldn't remember anything. The only words he could say were these two words, just like Li Zhi, who he didn't like. Like the kid.

Li Yuanji ran over, feeling ashamed, and couldn't help getting closer, "Brother!"

"Yuanji." Xu Zhe also called out, "I did what I promised at the beginning."
