Chapter 4 He is truly my Qilin’s grandson!

Does what Zhang Xuansu said make sense?

That's of course absolutely fucking right.

But the problem is that although Li Chengqian is a bit like a human, he is Li Xiang's nominal father after all. If Li Xiang wants to inherit the throne, he must take over from Li Chengqian.

This determined Li Xiang's attitude towards Zhang Xuansu.

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

Blocking someone's path to the throne is worse than digging up his ancestral graves!
"Li Xiang!"

Li Shimin glared at Li Xiang and said, "I have already told you what Zuo Shuzi said, but his words were a little harsh. How can you, a child, understand what he meant?"

"Strong words, very strong words!"

Li Xiang smiled sadly, secretly twisted himself, and burst into tears in pain: "If the old man thinks that the saying of "a tiger father and a dog son" is also a word of advice, then give Li Xiang a cup of poisoned wine."

"My father has been insulted, and as a son I cannot avenge him. How can I live in this world with dignity?"

It was not until Li Xiang said it for the second time that Li Shimin noticed the phrase "a tiger father makes a dog son".

Even if it is true, this statement is completely insulting.

If comparing it to Jie and Zhou can be considered as giving advice, then "a tiger father and a dog son" is simply expressing emotions.

He suppressed his anger, turned his gaze to Zhang Xuansu, and asked in a cold voice: "Is what the emperor's grandson said true?"

Li Xiang did not make this up, and Zhang Xuansu had said even more outrageous things when he was giving advice.

The problem is that these words were said in front of Li Xiang, the emperor's grandson, which is intolerable.

It is impossible to quibble, as so many eunuchs and maids in the Eastern Palace heard it clearly.

Zhang Xuansu bowed his head and knelt on the ground to apologize: "I...will die!"

"What a capital crime!"

Although Li Shimin had many opinions about the crown prince, he was not confused.

He immediately ordered: "Come here! Take off his crown and official uniform! Send him to the Dali Temple! Punish him for deceiving the emperor and alienating the royal family!"

Someone came in immediately and completed the whole process skillfully, dragging Zhang Xuansu, who looked like a dead dog, out of the Lizheng Hall.

After the strangers left, Li Shimin looked at the unfamiliar grandson again.

It turns out that Li Xiang was actually...really protecting the prince instead of being instigated by the prince.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang's fierce and passionate expression just now reappeared in his mind.

This child is so kind and filial! He is willing to risk his life for his father's honor...

He is truly the great descendant of the Li family! Li Shimin could not help but think.

At the same time, I also felt a little uneasy.

How great it would be if Xiang'er could protect me like this!

Thinking of this, he began to dislike Li Chengqian again.

This time it was not out of anything else but jealousy and resentment.

"Xiang'er, come here." Li Shimin waved at Li Xiang.

Who knew that Li Xiang wiped his tears, stood up and bowed, saying: "Grandson dare not."

"I am your grandfather. Is it not possible for you to be close to my grandson?" Li Shimin smiled kindly.

When Li Chengqian heard these words, it was like thunderbolt. Qilin Sun? !

Father... Father, he actually praised my son in person, and used such an adjective?
This is a treatment that Li Xin, the son of Li Tai's fat Qingque, doesn't even have...

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian suddenly felt that there was a little hope in life again.

Or... can I open a gap here? Let my eldest son develop a good relationship with his father. In this way, won't my position as crown prince be more secure?
While Li Chengqian was thinking about raising his child, Li Xiang was also hating his father for being a failure.

Otherwise, how could he travel through time and space and become Li Chengqian's son? It's like people from the same family are alike.

Li Xiang wiped his tears and whispered, "Aye... Aye said that Grandfather doesn't like Aye and is not close to the East Palace, and asked me not to be presumptuous in front of Grandfather..."

After hearing this, Li Chengqian, who was still dreaming of raising a child, suddenly felt dizzy.

Damn it, when did I ever say that?!

You kid...you kid are a dog!
But Li Shimin obviously didn't think so. He raised his head instantly and looked fiercely at Li Chengqian who was still in a daze.

"Great," Li Shimin said coldly, "I need an explanation!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Chengqian's temper suddenly flared up.

Perhaps because he was stimulated by Li Xiang's passionate performance, Li Chengqian suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty needs an explanation? Haha..." Li Chengqian's face was grim. He suddenly didn't intend to explain anything. It was nothing more than accusing him of alienating grandparents and grandchildren. So what?

"How could I be wrong? Your Majesty favors the King of Wei, especially. You knew that this would cause discussion among the court and the public, but you still favored him again and again despite the opposition of the court officials and allowed him to live in the Wude Hall! Don't tell me that you don't know what all this means!"

"You appointed Wei Zheng as the prince's tutor to calm the public and the government. Isn't that to silence the gossips?" Li Chengqian looked directly at Li Shimin and said angrily, "You have forgotten your mother's last words before she died! You want to make the Prince of Wei the crown prince!"

"Great!" Li Shimin took a deep breath, "I have never thought of making the King of Wei the Crown Prince! And I have never forgotten the advice of Guanyin!"

"Everyone in the court and the public thinks so! Only your Majesty is trying to cover up his mistake!" Li Chengqian's eyes widened: "Your Majesty just doesn't want to face the fact! That is, you betrayed my mother!"

Hearing these words, Li Shimin felt dizzy.

He held his forehead with his hand, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Then, he stood up furiously, picked up the brocade cushion under him, and threw it at Li Chengqian, cursing angrily: "Li Chengqian! You rebellious son!"

After throwing it, he still felt unsatisfied and rushed forward to beat Li Chengqian.

"A small stick leads to a big stick and then you go! Are you trying to put my grandfather in an unjust position? Ah yeah!" Li Xiang, who was watching the fun, shouted loudly from the side.

Upon hearing Li Xiang's words, Li Chengqian immediately turned around and ran away.

Being chased away by Li Shimin like this, he couldn't help but get anxious.

His legs and feet were not in good condition to begin with, and he was in such a hurry that his sleeves could not hold him up, and the scroll that Li Xiang had given him fell to the ground with a crash.

Not caring about the scroll at all, Li Chengqian limped out for a dozen steps before he noticed that no one was chasing him.

He turned around and found Li Shimin squatting on the ground, covering his face and seemingly crying.

In front of Li Shimin was an unfolding scroll.

Li Chengqian was still worried about his father, but also a little curious. He limped back, wanting to see clearly what was painted on the scroll, and how it could have such magical power that it could make his furious father stop chasing him.

Only when he got closer could he see it clearly.

On the scroll was a beautiful lady in palace dress.

After seeing the beauty in the scroll, Li Chengqian's emotions collapsed instantly. He fell to his knees on the ground, crawled to the side of the scroll, and burst into tears.

“Mother…Mother!”
