"Xiaoxuan, can you come with me for a walk~?"
After Li Er and Queen Changsun left the academy with the reluctant Chang Le, Li Chengqian looked at Li Zexuan and said.
“The prince wants to go shopping, of course I’m happy to accompany him~!”
Li Zexuan nodded.
When Li Chengqian heard this, not only was he not at all happy, but he smiled bitterly and said, "Now that my father is not here, Xiaoxuan, do you still want to live like this with me~?"
Li Zexuan was suddenly startled and thought to himself, yes, in the beginning, he and Li Chengqian called each other good friends and brothers. When exactly did these good friends and brothers slowly turn into monarchs and ministers~
Maybe it’s been separated for too long!
As the crown prince, Li Chengqian had to study the strategies of governing the country with Li Er in the palace on weekdays. Not to mention talking to Li Zexuan, he even had few opportunities to leave the palace. As time went by, this relationship would inevitably become a little strained!
In addition, Li Zexuan has lived in this world for more than a year, and gradually has some concepts of monarch and minister in his mind, and his thoughts have become more mature!
"Uh! Haha! Since you don't want me to call you Prince, then I'll call you Gao Ming~!"
Seeing that Li Chengqian had a sad face, Li Zexuan laughed and said loudly and cheerfully.
When Li Chengqian heard this, his bitter and resentful face turned gloomy in an instant. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Haha! That's right! We have known each other for more than a year. Xiaoxuan, do you still remember? Don’t you remember that when we met on the way to the West Market, you told me about Journey to the West in Changle? At that time, everyone was free and honest with each other, and that was how we felt at ease~!"
It was because of "Journey to the West" that he met Li Zexuan, a stranger, but it was also because of "Journey to the West" that Li Tai became "interested" in Li Zexuan, which led to the subsequent grievances and resentments, so that in the end Li Tai actually Became Li Zexuan’s student!
"Sit down~!"
Feeling that Li Chengqian seemed to be hiding a lot of things in his heart, Li Zexuan pointed to the stone bench next to him and motioned for Li Chengqian to sit down. After the two sat down, Li Zexuan looked at the artificial pond in front of him and said with emotion:
"Gao Ming, people will grow up and mature, and everyone will have more and more missions. You and I are both moving forward with a heavy load, and we all have missions that must be completed! Look at me, I was just a person back then. The little-known rich young man seems to have nothing else to do except prodigal!
But who could have imagined that in just over a year, I would become a prince of the Tang Dynasty. Not only would I have to worry about the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the people in the fiefdom, but I would also have to preach and answer questions for hundreds of teachers and students in the academy. What’s more terrible is that the northern Turks The Royal Court didn't want to make things easier for me, so it sent a great master, Wu Jie, to come to the academy to steal information, and he was eyeing Yanhuang Academy's technology. Do you think it's easy for me? "
At the end of the sentence, Li Zexuan spread his hands and looked at Li Chengqian with a bitter look on his face.
Li Chengqian was speechless. He always felt that something was wrong because he did not follow Li Er back to the palace and chose to stay. He mainly wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Li Zexuan and complain by the way. But how did it end up with Li Zexuan complaining to him? This seems to be the other way around~
"... So, Xiaoxuan, it's... not easy for you~!"
After a pause, Li Chengqian said with difficulty.
Complaints are complaints, and Li Chengqian had to admit that Li Zexuan had indeed worked very hard this year, and his busyness was probably not too much even compared to him, the prince!
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian felt a little better, secretly thinking that he was not the only one suffering the pain every day, but that there was someone accompanying him to carry the load forward!
Li Zexuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha! So, there is no such thing as easy in the world of men, unless you really want to spend your whole life doing nothing, eating and waiting to die! Gao Ming, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, you must bear a certain amount of responsibility More, I understand that you are stressed, but you cannot be overwhelmed by the pressure! At this point, I think Qingque has done a good job!
The problems Qingque faces every day are probably problems he has never encountered before, but he has never been intimidated by the difficulties in front of him, so his abilities have been improving by leaps and bounds, so much so that he can now study in the academy He has taken charge of some of the projects! "
"If I had joined Yanhuang Academy, I would definitely be stronger than Qingque now!"
Hearing Li Zexuan praise Li Tai, Li Chengqian's long-buried competitive spirit began to stir again, and he couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
Although his voice was small, Li Zexuan, who had keen ears, heard everything clearly. He couldn't help but said with a smile: "Gao Ming, when Qingque still lived in the palace, you two often fought for the holy favor. Now that Qingque has escaped from the vortex and is obsessed with engineering research, you have one less opponent to compete for the holy favor, isn't it worth being happy~?"
Li Zexuan said it very straightforwardly, directly exposing the dirty things that Li Chengqian and Li Tai had secretly done. Li Chengqian was immediately blushing with shame, and he said in a loud voice: "Xiaoxuan, don't talk nonsense. I have never competed with Qingque for holy favor~!"
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Haha! Whether you have fought or not, Gao Ming, I just want to tell you that in life, you are always content and happy. Now you feel that you are as happy as Qingque studying in the academy, but when After you truly become a student of Yanhuang Academy, you will most likely want to return to the palace to be your crown prince!
There are many kinds of roles in this world, including businessmen, bankers, landlords, butchers, rogues, and dignitaries. Each role has the value of its existence and the happiness of its existence! But no one can play all the roles well. As the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, you must play the role of Crown Prince well, follow His Majesty to learn the strategies of governing the country, and become a wise king in the future!
When the time comes, Qingque will use what he learned in the academy to help you consolidate your empire! If you two brothers help each other, wouldn't it make for a good conversation? Moreover, His Majesty and the Empress will be happy from the bottom of their hearts when they see it! "
There is something that Li Zexuan did not say clearly, that is, the reason why Empress Changsun died at a young age in official history was not only due to Qi disease, but also because of the two brothers Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who were fighting openly and secretly for the position of crown prince. factor!
Empress Changsun died of illness in the 10th year of Zhenguan. At that time, the battle for the inheritance between Li Tai and Li Chengqian was at a fierce stage. With Empress Changsun's intelligence, it was impossible not to be aware of the dirty tricks of the two sons in private! But the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. Even if Queen Changsun knew about it, what would she do? She could only try her best to suppress and mediate! But after she died of illness, the two of them couldn't hold it together anymore, and the battle for the heir turned directly from the dark to the open!
Li Chengqian was not a time traveler, so he naturally did not know these histories. After listening to Li Zexuan's words, he couldn't help but look thoughtful. After a long silence, he finally said:
"Xiao Xuan, you are right. In life, contentment is always the best! As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, I am inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. What else can I be dissatisfied about? Qingque has chosen a path that suits him. Road, he agrees with the road he has chosen, so although it is very hard for him to move forward, he is very happy;
As for me, I chose this path of becoming a prince, so I will continue to do so resolutely. I can’t let you and Qing Que look down on me, and I won’t hold you back! We will surely create a prosperous Tang Dynasty that is unprecedented and surpasses all previous dynasties! "
Li Chengqian spoke in a firm tone, like a promise to Li Zexuan, but also like he was strengthening his own beliefs. Although his voice was soft, it was full of power!
Li Zexuan couldn't help but patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder and said: "Haha! Okay! Gao Ming, it's great that you think so! With a few of our good brothers here, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be extremely powerful in the future, surpassing all previous ones. dynasty!"
If a person is suppressed for too long and cannot be released, he will do some extreme things and his character will become distorted. Fortunately for Li Zexuan, Li Chengqian is willing to share the depression in his heart with him. In fact, some words once spoken In fact, it’s nothing. Li Chengqian’s next road is still bright and smooth!
