Chapter 3 A quarrelsome son in the family will not ruin the family

You asked if he felt numb when he saw Li Shimin. Then Li Chengqian must have felt a little numb.

But after all, I am in front of my son, and as a father I have to maintain my noble image.

"Let's go. Don't make your grandfather wait anxiously."

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said to Li Xiang.

Li Xiang secretly complained in his heart, "My cheap father, even a fool can sense your guilty conscience..."

When playing with Yuqian, it won't work if the teammates are not confident.

So Li Xiang gave Li Chengqian a shot of chicken blood: "Don't worry, my son is here for you!"

Well, "Everything Has a Son".

Li Chengqian was deeply moved. He held Li Xiang's arms tightly with both hands and was speechless.

After the two men walked out of Cheng'en Hall, Li Xiang waved to the young eunuch who followed him.

The eunuch was named Fubao. He grew up with Li Xiang and knew him well.

"Go and get the things on my desk and take them to Lizheng Hall." Li Xiang instructed.

Fubao obeyed the order and ran like a gust of wind.

Li Chengqian watched all this quietly from the sidelines. After Fubao left, he asked, "What's happening to Xiang'er?"

"Don't worry, father. You and my father will have her protection, so we will be safe and sound!" Li Xiang said firmly.

Fubao's speed was not slow either. When Li Chengqian and Li Xiang arrived at Qianhua Gate in the sedan chair, Fubao followed them, panting.

Li Xiang took the scroll presented by Fu Bao and handed it to Li Chengqian.

There was no time to unfold it and take a look before the group arrived at the door of Lizheng Hall.

"If Aong chases Aye too quickly, Aye can just drop the scroll on the ground." Li Xiang warned, "Remember, Aye, be careful."

"It's for my father's sake."

While Li Chengqian agreed, he was still wondering in his heart, why did your grandfather chase and beat me?

There was not much time to think. When the eunuch saw the two men getting off the sedan chair, he called them in.

Li Xiang took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little nervous.

Damn, I get to see my grandpa so soon?
Li, Prince of Taiyuan, King of Qin, General of Tiance, Taizong, Heavenly Khan, Shimin?

Li Xiang saw Li Chengqian limping into the hall from the corner of his eye, so he hurried forward and supported Li Chengqian.

Climb up the stairs and enter the hall.

Li Xiang secretly looked up and saw Zhang Xuansu standing respectfully beside him. Li Shimin was sitting on a brocade cushion with cloud patterns, glaring at the father and son who entered the hall.

To be honest, judging from his appearance alone, it seems that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was born to be described as "with the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and the appearance of the sun and the sky."

A real man should be like this! This sentence suddenly crossed Li Xiang's mind.

"Your son, Li Chengqian, greets your father."

Li Chengqian bowed.

The Tang Dynasty didn't have so many rules, and this was not a formal occasion. Besides, Li Chengqian had difficulty walking, so there was no need for him to kneel down.

But Li Xiang was different. He immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Grandson Li Xiang, nice to meet you, Grandfather!"

Right from the start, Li Xiang confirmed the familiar title, even though Li Shimin had rarely seen him.

"Get up." Li Shimin shook the sleeves of his brown robe and said in a cold voice.

The two men stood up immediately, but before they could stand properly, Li Shimin's voice rang out again. "Tell me, Crown Prince, why did you instigate Li Xiang to fight against Zuo Shuzi?"

Li Chengqian snorted, adopting a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude: "The saint has already made up his mind, why ask me?"

Li Xiang couldn't help but feel a little nervous after hearing what his cheap father said.

He wanted to argue, but he had to consider etiquette.

Fortunately, when Li Shimin saw that Li Chengqian looked dead again, he shifted his attention to Li Xiang.

Li Shimin didn't dislike his eldest grandson, but he couldn't say he liked him either.

Come to think of it, how can I like you when I only see you once or twice a year?

"Li Xiang, you were the one who made trouble today. Apologize to Zuo Shuzi."

Li Shimin's idea was also very simple. If the outsiders knew about this grandson brandishing a sword and a gun against the officials of the Eastern Palace, they would definitely report it severely. It would be better to kill a little kid for making trouble and let the matter go.

Zhang Xuansu was obviously not satisfied with this nonsense, and Li Xiang was even more dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Xuansu immediately stood up and said with tears streaming down his face, "The Crown Prince is so arrogant and rebellious that he cannot accept advice. He even instigated the child to insult me. I cannot bear this humiliation. I beg to leave my body!"

Li Chengqian clenched his hands into fists and clenched them tightly.

He looked at Zhang Xuansu with resentment, wishing he could pounce on him and cut him into pieces.

However, he just thought so, but Li Xiang did it.

"Zhang Xuansu! I'm your mother!"

Li Xiang made a somersault, flew over and fired an electric cannon at Zhang Xuansu's eyes.

Li Shimin was shocked. He never expected that his eldest grandson would be so brave that he would dare to pounce on and beat the officials of the Eastern Palace in front of him, the emperor.

After being stunned for a while, he came to his senses and roared, "How dare you!"

After Li Shimin scolded, a eunuch immediately came forward and took Li Xiang off Zhang Xuansu.

Li Xiang was restrained, and he still cursed angrily: "Zhang Xuansu! You are a dog! You insulted my father mercilessly in front of me, your son, and now you come to my grandfather to confuse right and wrong, stir up trouble, and alienate the flesh and blood of the royal family! I wish I could eat your flesh and sleep on your skin!"

"Li Xiang!"

Li Shimin roared, "How dare you!"

Li Chengqian stared blankly at his son who had suddenly become brave. He never expected that this child would dare to be so presumptuous in front of Li Shimin.

Then, there was a feeling of being moved.

In order to protect me as a father, this child actually...

"Grandson is being presumptuous?"

Li Xiang laughed loudly and pointed at Zhang Xuansu. "How can Zhang Xuansu not be so presumptuous! It would be fine if he gave advice to my father behind closed doors, but he dared to insult my father in front of me, saying he was Jie and Zhou! He was Yang Guang! He was a bad father and a bad son! He even cursed in front of me that the Tang Dynasty would perish in my father's hands!"

"This is no longer admonition! This is insult! If someone insulted Emperor Gaozu in front of you, what would you do? I told this guy at the time that I cannot live with my father's enemy! Don't you even allow your grandson to avenge my father? Are you a tyrant?"

"Why am I a tyrant?"

Li Shimin felt so angry at Li Xiang that his head was dizzy.

"As the old saying goes, 'listen to both sides and you will be enlightened, but only listen to one side and you will be in the dark'. In the dark, you are stupid!" Li Xiang stiffened his neck and looked at Li Shimin without giving in. "Now the saint only trusts the villain and alienates his own flesh and blood. How can he not be a stupid ruler!"

"You!" Li Shimin was speechless for a long time.

Li Xiang continued to speak: "As the saying goes, 'A family with a son who can speak out will not be ruined; a country with a minister who can speak out will not be destroyed'! The court now has a mirror like Grand Tutor Wei, and a minister who can speak out! My grandson is willing to be this son of the son! To prevent the disaster of separation of flesh and blood in my family!"
