A strategic plan could explain Li Chengqian's current state.
He didn't need to do anything himself. He just needed to do everything.
After Li Ke left, Li Chengqian estimated the time and thought that Li Er's people would arrive soon.
After a busy day, he didn't go to Cheng Yaojin and the other dukes to discuss important matters.
It seemed that this matter should be settled after tomorrow morning's court session.
On the other side, Li Tai was crying in Li Er's bedroom.
"Sob sob…Father, Mother, Imperial Brother is too ruthless. He is killing me! Look at what he did to me. If your son doesn't admit it, you won't be able to recognize your son.”
Li Tai was indeed in a miserable state. His face was bruised and swollen, and he was in pain when he spoke.
Empress Zhangsun's heart ached when she saw this. She touched Li Tai's fat face and said,""Chengqian is too much. How could he be so harsh to his younger brother?”
"Why did he hit you?" Li Er asked with a dark face.”
" Imperial Brother…" Li Tai's gaze was somewhat evasive as he said,""Your son isn't sure either. I inexplicably received a punch from Imperial Brother.”
"Is that so?" Although Li Er was also distressed, he still said with a dark face,"Don't lie to Father, otherwise…"
"Your son does not dare to deceive Imperial Father." Li Tai was afraid. He was naturally timid, so he blurted out,"Before Imperial Brother left, he told me to stay away from the aristocratic families, or else I'll be beaten up every time I see them. He even said…he even said that if your son wasn't his younger brother, I would have been beheaded long ago.”
" This..." Empress Zhangsun was tongue-tied. She looked at Li Er and was at a loss for words.
This was because it involved taboos.
Li Er's mind flashed with the scene of Li Chengqian's decisiveness on the battlefield yesterday.
He was probably telling the truth.
Li Er didn't say anything and was silent for a moment. Finally, Li Er turned his head and said,""Call the Crown Prince over."
"Yes." The eunuch left.
"Your Majesty, although Tai 'er is indeed…but Chengqian is the elder brother, so he should take care of his younger brother."”
"I know what to do." Li Er said. Looking at Li Tai's miserable state, his heart ached.
One had to know that he doted on this little fatty, Li Tai.
However, Li Tai's actions this time had indeed angered him.
The five surnames and seven Wangs were the thorn in his side, but this son was actually close to them.
After a while, Li Chengqian arrived.
"Imperial Father, Imperial Mother." Then, he looked at Li Tai and said with a smile,""You're here to complain."
Li Tai shrank into Empress Zhangsun's arms in fear, not daring to look at Li Chengqian.
The fear of being dominated was still fresh in his mind.
Li Er was even angrier when he saw this.
What the f * ck?
Empress Zhangsun patted Li Tai and said,""Chengqian, although Tai 'er did something wrong, he's still your brother. Even if you teach him a lesson, there's no need to be so harsh, right?”
Li Chengqian smiled and said without hesitation,"So? Teach him a lesson so that he won't learn his lesson, then continue to make mistakes, and finally kill each other? Is this what mother wants to see?"
Empress Zhangsun's expression froze and she was speechless.
"Impudent." "How can you talk to your mother like that?" Li Er shouted angrily.”
"I'm just talking about the matter." "An elder brother is like a father. My younger brother has made a mistake, so I have the right to educate him." I know that father and mother love him and don't dare to punish him severely, so I'll focus on him.”
" You..." Li Er glared at Li Chengqian. It was not because Li Chengqian was being unreasonable, but because he was angered by his son's retort.
"Your Majesty." Empress Zhangsun spoke softly and dejectedly,""Don't blame Chengqian, he did the right thing.”
Yes, she didn't want to see brothers killing each other.
Her palms and back of her hands were all flesh. She had given birth to them.
Then, Empress Zhangsun hit Li Tai angrily, leaving him dumbfounded.
"Li Tai, the King of Wei, is not doing his job properly. I'll punish you with three months of confinement so that you can reflect on yourself."”
" Mother…" Li Tai looked at Empress Zhangsun in disbelief, feeling wronged.
Am I the one getting beaten up?
Why am I the one being punished?
Li Er's face darkened, his anger still lingering.
Li Chengqian smiled and said,"Imperial Father, how about listening to your son's two stories?"”
"A story?" Li Er frowned and asked.”
"Yes." Li Chengqian nodded and said," There is a particularly ferocious dog called the Mastiff. This dog has extraordinary strength and can even fight with tigers." However, the method of raising this kind of dog is extremely cruel. Does father know?”
Without waiting for Li Er to answer, Li Chengqian continued,""After the little mastiffs were born, they were not called mastiffs. The owner would put a litter of puppies together and then starve them without giving them any food. In the end, the hungry puppies would kill each other and eat their brothers and sisters. And the one who survived in the end would be the bravest. It's also called a mastiff."
Li Chengqian's words made Li Er's brows furrow deeper and deeper because he thought of the hidden meaning behind Li Chengqian's words.
Li Chengqian continued," But Imperial Father, if one of the puppies has the strength of a mastiff or even stronger after being born, what do you think…what will happen to the other puppies?”
Li Chengqian said with a smile, but Li Er could clearly feel that there was killing intent in Li Chengqian's words.
That's right, a dog already has the ability of a mastiff, so why would it need to be trained?
If he continued like that, the gains would not make up for the losses.
That was because the other puppies were not worthy of being the strongest puppy's opponent. They were only qualified to be food.
After a long time, Li Er sighed and said,""King of Wei, Li Tai, you will be grounded for another three months.”
"Ah?" Li Tai raised his head in confusion.
