Chapter 270
"Uncle, if you favor the second son in an ordinary family, at most the family will be in disharmony and the brothers will have conflicts, but you are in the imperial family, and you will cause turmoil in the court."
Li Shimin looked at Xiao Ran, "You are a little too much, it's not that, I love my son, can I still cause turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, you are talking nonsense."
"Will the dispute over the crown prince not cause turmoil in the court? Will the turmoil in the court cause turmoil in the Tang Dynasty?"
"Huh?" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian lowered his head and said nothing.
Li Shimin was not confident because of what Xiao Ran said, "Haven't Qingque and Dalang always been good?"
"It's good now, but you have planted the root of the disaster."
"Dalang, you and Qingque are not on good terms?" Li Shimin questioned Li Chengqian, Li Shimin did not believe what Xiao Ran said.
Li Chengqian slowly raised his head and looked at Li Shimin.
He was silent for a long time.
Li Chengqian said nothing, but it seemed that he had said everything.
Li Shimin was very unhappy, "How do you know? You can't know my son better than I do."
"This may be the so-called "those who are involved are confused, but those who are not involved can see clearly!" Xiao Ran continued, "If you know a little about what your majesty did to the two princes, it is not difficult to guess. If you put yourself in their shoes, you will understand."
"Uncle, put yourself in their shoes. You are the prince, and your brother is extremely favored. What do you think?"
"Wouldn't you have a sense of crisis? Wouldn't you take precautions?"
"Being favored will inevitably gain power. With power, it is easy to have other ideas."
"Put yourself in their shoes again... No need to change. Uncle, think about when you were the King of Qin, you had great power and high prestige. Did the Prince Yin regard you as a thorn in his side?"
"You were regarded as a thorn in your side and were targeted everywhere. Did you surrender at the time?"
"You didn't?"
"Isn't this a fight?"
Li Shimin frowned and found that it seemed to be the case.
Li Shimin just didn't realize this problem.
"Chengqian, you and Qingque are not getting along?" Li Shimin still wanted to question Li Chengqian and wanted to hear Li Chengqian's own words.
"Grandpa, do you think you can get along? Do you think it's appropriate for you to let Qingque live in Wude Hall?" Li Chengqian didn't want to hold it in anymore, so he just said it.
"You are brothers, he is my son, both live in the palace, Zhinu is also in the palace, what's wrong with that?" Li Shimin didn't think there was a problem.
"Grandpa, you should know better than me where Wude Hall is and how important it is. Wude Hall is closer to Taiji Hall than the East Palace. Grandpa, I am the prince, I am the heir, you basically see Qingque every day, if you don't see Qingque, you have to send letters..."
Li Chengqian can finally speak his mind.
Now that Empress Changsun is here, he has more or less confidence.
"You are blaming me!"
"I dare not!"
Seeing that the situation was not optimistic and they were about to fight, Xiao Ran looked at Li Lizhi and handed the little princess to her.
Li Lizhi understood Xiao Ran's meaning instantly, and the sleepy little princess didn't say anything.
Yu Shuhongxiu took the two little princesses to rest.
"They really don't get along!" Li Shimin didn't expect that Xiao Ran would be right.
Empress Changsun felt that Li Shimin usually favored Li Tai a little too much, but she didn't know that Li Chengqian and Li Tai didn't get along.
Li Lizhi didn't know either.
If Xiao Ran hadn't said it, Li Lizhi would have felt that her two brothers had a good relationship.
In front of Empress Changsun and Li Shimin, the two were friendly and respectful.
In the eyes of other outsiders, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were polite.
Li Chengqian didn't deny it, which meant he acquiesced.
This made Li Shimin a little unhappy. He didn't know it, and he felt a little unhappy.
As a father, this was a little unqualified, not knowing his son's situation.
"Chengqian, you are the elder brother and Qingque is the younger brother. Do you hold a grudge just because I let him live in Wude Hall and gave him a little more reward? You are the crown prince, don't you have this kind of broad mind?"
Li Chengqian was speechless all of a sudden.
"Don't you understand that a man who is magnanimous can achieve great things?"
"You are the crown prince, don't you have this kind of broad mind?"
"Don't you have a little tolerance?"
"Qingque, that's your own brother!"
Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and was stunned.
Xiao Ran was also speechless. Why is Li Shimin still so partial now?
Xiao Ran couldn't help it and wanted to say something. Li Chengqian gently raised his hand to stop Xiao Ran, "Grandpa, you don't know anything, so you think it's my fault?"
"You are the elder brother, shouldn't I question you?"
"I am the elder brother? Do you think I am your eldest son? Qingque... Does Qingque think I am his elder brother? Grandpa, do you know what Qingque said about me behind my back?"
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian,"Chengqian, I ask you, why do brothers have conflicts?"
"Hahaha..." Li Chengqian laughed bitterly, "Why do I have conflicts with my brothers? Am I unwilling? No, no, no... I just want to keep Qingque, which belongs to me. He has ulterior motives."
"You are talking nonsense. How could Qingque compete with you?" In Li Shimin's eyes, Li Tai is a perfect son.
He is obedient, filial, and talented.
"Grandpa, you and your uncle are also brothers. Why don't you get along? Why do you want to kill him? He is also your brother?"
Damn it! !
Xiao Ran was shocked. This was a heart-piercing statement that hit Li Shimin's heart.
Li Shimin widened his eyes and looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief.
Li Shimin did not expect that Li Chengqian would say this about him, and did not expect that Li Chengqian would dare to say this about him.
"Chengqian!" Empress Changsun was also shocked, "How can you say that about your grandfather."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, calm down, this child is impulsive." Empress Changsun hurriedly persuaded Li Shimin.
"Queen, don't say it!" Li Shimin interrupted Empress Changsun, his eyes red, staring at Li Chengqian.
"I ask you, why are the brothers not in harmony!"
"Answer me!"
Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and asked back, "Why is my grandfather not in harmony with my uncle?"
"You!!!" Li Shimin's hands were shaking with anger.
"Your Majesty..." Empress Changsun was anxious, this was going to be a big deal.
Li Shimin raised his hand again to interrupt Empress Changsun.
"Grandpa obviously knows the answer, you know it very well, why are you still asking me?"
"With power, ambition naturally breeds, and ambition inevitably leads to power struggles, and power struggles inevitably offend the root. I have only sought self-protection from the beginning to the end. What reason do I have to target Qingque?"
Li Chengqian raised his voice, "Do I want to turn against my brothers? No! It's Qingque, it's him, he has thoughts that he shouldn't have, he wants to take things that belong to me, what can I do?"
"Father, tell me, what should I do!" Li Chengqian questioned Li Shimin.
"This is just your guess, do you have any real evidence?" Li Shimin didn't want to believe this.
"Is there any real evidence that my father and uncle are not in harmony?"
"Chengqian!"
"Your Majesty, please call me! Prince!!!"
