Chapter 6 Ah, yes, yes!

Hot, of course it’s hot.

This old man...he doesn't even praise people properly, right?

Li Chengqian was so excited that he subconsciously retorted: "Your father is not as good as my father!"

Otherwise, they are a father and son, and their ways of praising others are always roundabout.

When Li Shimin heard Li Chengqian's words, he was not angry but laughed out loud.

Gao Ming, what a weird child.

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and decided not to argue with the old man.

"Then I will take my leave."

"Go."

Li Shimin nodded.

When Li Chengqian and Li Xiang walked to the palace gate, Li Shimin's voice rang out again.

"Decree that the emperor's grandson Li Xiang is a filial son, and he is to be granted a good horse and a ruyi!"

Li Xiang, who originally felt that there was something missing, was instantly overwhelmed by surprise. Damn, the bet was right!

Li Chengqian stood there in a daze. It took him a long while to react and he pulled Li Xiang to accept the order and express his gratitude.

The father and son remained silent on their way back.

It was not until he returned to the Eastern Palace that Li Chengqian called Li Xiang.

"Xiang'er, today's matter..."

Li Chengqian reached out and touched the back of Li Xiang's head: "Thanks to you."

"What are you talking about, Aye? You and I are one, father and son. As the saying goes, 'brothers fight together to fight tigers, and fathers and sons fight together in battle'. We should advance and retreat together."

What Li Xiang said was completely true. It was not that he and Li Chengqian had any feelings for each other, but because there was really a throne to inherit in his family.

For the sake of the throne, this recognition as father is absolutely smooth.

Not shabby!
"Only Zhang Xuansu is gone, but we still have Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda..."

Li Chengqian sighed and said quietly, "I am the emperor, I should indulge my desires. If anyone advises me, I will kill him. If I kill five hundred, won't it be settled?"

What the hell!

Li Xiang felt his blood pressure rising again.

This dad, I...

Hope is not like a human king!
Fortunately, these words were spoken to him in private, and as long as he didn't leak it out, Li Shimin would not know.

Li Xiang decided that he had to find a more suitable way of persuading his baby daddy.

Since he doesn't like this group of people giving advice, Li Xiang also has a good idea.

"Aye really thinks that killing those censors will silence Youyou?"

Li Chengqian pounded his legs with his hands, snorted and said, "As long as I'm happy, that's all."

Li Xiang stepped forward and obediently massaged Li Chengqian's legs. As he did so, he said, "But I think killing people is not the most satisfying way. The best way is to make them extremely angry."

"Oh?"

Li Chengqian was persuaded by Li Xiang and imagined Kong Yingda's angry look in his mind. It was indeed more satisfying than killing him.

His curiosity was immediately aroused, and he quickly asked, "What can Xiang'er teach me?"

"This is easy. When they make further suggestions, Aye just needs to reply to them, 'Yeah, right, right,' and that's it."

Li Xiang looked as if he had mastered the whole thing.

If Li Xiang hadn't helped today, Li Chengqian would have doubted his intentions. He shook his head and said, "Isn't this just going in their favor? No, no!"

"Hey, Aye, let me show you how to do it..."

Li Xiang felt that talking alone would not work, so he had to personally teach Li Chengqian how to roll the knife. "Father, you will play the roles of Master Yu and Master Kong who always give you advice, and I will play the role of Father, how about that?"

Li Chengqian understood what Li Xiang meant and nodded, "Okay."

He stood up and carefully recalled what Yu Zhining had said. He rubbed his face, calmed down his emotions, and tried to completely restore Yu Zhining's expression at that time: "The East Palace was built by the former Sui Dynasty. Many people at that time said it was too extravagant. How can it be repaired again? The craftsmen and slaves are all lawless. They come in and out with pliers and chisels, and the palace guards can't stop them. The palace guards are outside and the slaves are inside. How can we not worry!"

After hearing this, Li Xiang didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But Li Chengqian was already on the verge of collapse, so of course he wouldn't listen to such words. In order to relieve his father's pressure, Li Xiang was determined not to confront him and just go along with him.

He immediately put on a smiling face and said in a very provocative tone: "Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

"It's good that the prince knows this. If this continues, I'm afraid we will repeat the mistakes of the Sui Dynasty, just like Emperor Yang, who died and his country was destroyed, and became a laughing stock of the world!"

Li Chengqian seemed to have completely put himself in Yu Zhining's shoes. He flicked his sleeves and looked slightly angry.

Li Xiang nodded like pounding garlic, saying repeatedly: "Ah, yes, yes, yes! That's right, Master!"

The expression on his face was so annoying that Li Chengqian couldn't help but clench his fists.

Damn it, I really want to punch you...

Eh?
As this thought came to his mind, Li Chengqian suddenly had an idea.

Even I can't help but want to beat him up, so wouldn't Master Yu and Master Kong be even angrier?

"Xiang'er's words made me, as a father, see the sun after the clouds have cleared, and my mind was suddenly enlightened!"

He said with sudden enlightenment.

Then he looked at Li Xiang and could not help but exclaimed: "I have Xiang'er, just like Han Gao had Zifang and Zhaolie had Kongming!"

Dad, you praised me.

Li Xiang said modestly: "I am ashamed. I have only made a small contribution. I don't deserve such praise from you."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Li Chengqian's laughter echoed in the hall. He now had the mentality of being content with having a son.

My son is already able to take care of himself and share his father's worries! Can your son, the fat chicken, do the same?

The father and son chatted for a while, and seeing that it was almost late at night, Li Chengqian finally reluctantly let Li Xiang go back to rest.

Li Xiang was in a good mood as he had managed to temporarily stabilize this unreliable father.

The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.

Lying on the bed, he hummed a little tune out of boredom.

"Aye fell in love with a boy, on a starry night~"

After my mood relaxed, I slowly fell asleep.

He slept soundly, but Li Chengqian suffered from insomnia.

The topics that the father and son just talked about were all topics that Li Xiang deliberately led.

They were all stories about the Qin Palace in the past. Li Chengqian naturally only told the nice ones, especially when talking about Empress Zhangsun, Li Chengqian's eyes were full of attachment.

While lying in bed, Li Chengqian couldn't help but recall his childhood.

At that time, his father was kind and his mother doted on him. Apart from his uncle's brothers who would bully him whenever they had nothing to do, he had no worries.

But why did everything change after he became the crown prince?
Not only Li Chengqian, but also Li Shimin, who was far away in the Lizheng Hall, was tossing and turning on his bed, his mind full of Li Xiang's performance in the Lizheng Hall today.

Recalling how the little guy showed no fear in front of him and defended his father with eloquent words, Li Shimin couldn't help feeling satisfied.

But after being satisfied, I couldn't stop thinking about it.

Thinking back, Gao Ming was a kind and filial child when he was young, but after being in the Eastern Palace for seventeen years, he has become what he is now.

He doted on his male wife, was extravagant, had brothers fighting with each other, and even worshipped Hu Feng...

What should I do if this good boy like Li Xiang is corrupted again?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but have an immature idea.

Or... just like Zhinu and Sizi, bring the elephant with you and raise him?
