Li Shimin sat up from the dragon chair in shock.
He could not believe his ears.
All the officials in the hall were dumbfounded.
Did he hear wrongly?
The mighty Great Tang War God, Li Jing, had actually taken a one-year-old child as his master!
The world's biggest joke!
"Apothecary, you…say that again?!”Li Shi Min asked, dumbfounded.
Li Jing was frank and generous. He said in a clear voice,
"Your Majesty, this old minister has taken little imperial grandson as his master!”
Finally, the ministers couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Great General, weren't you supposed to be the little Imperial Sun's teacher? Why are you taking him as your teacher?" Hou Junji asked.”
"General, are you kidding me?"”
Li Jing shook his head and said seriously,"
"Your Majesty, this old minister is not joking. This old minister has already taken little imperial grandson as his master.”
"Why?" Li Shi Min hurriedly asked.
Li Jing finally answered,"
"Your Majesty, my little grandson's martial arts attainments are not inferior to this old minister's!
The old minister demonstrated the sword technique, spear technique, and saber technique to the little imperial grandson.
In the end, the little imperial grandson pointed out a total of 361 flaws and shortcomings to this old minister.
This old minister admires you!
Thus, in this half a month, this old minister did not teach the little imperial grandson anything. Instead, under the little imperial grandson's guidance, this old minister's martial arts greatly improved!”
As he spoke, Li Jing's words were filled with respect for Li Yu.
"Hiss! This kid is too terrifying!"
Li Shi Min was shocked,
Whether it was Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling's strategy, Wei Zheng's literary talent, or Li Jing's martial arts,
They were all below Li Yu!
"He's really the Holy Son of the Heavenly Kylin. He's inhuman!”
Li Shi Min sighed, he was getting more and more aware of Li Yu's perverted side,
Li Yu was only one year old now. When he grew older, how dazzling would he be!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. With such a Qilin Saint Child, it will definitely help our Great Tang achieve its eternal foundation!”
Cheng Yaojin stood up and flattered.
The most awkward ones were the princes who were standing at the side.
Prince Li Chengqian, Third Prince Li Ke of Shu, Fourth Prince Li Tai of Wei.
Especially Crown Prince Li Chengqian. Recently, he had become more and more extravagant and licentious. He had been criticized several times by the civil and military officials.
Li Shi Min found him more and more unpleasant to the eye, and even had the idea of deposing the Crown Prince.
However, with Zhangsun Wuji and Empress Zhangsun's dissuasion, Li Shimin could not bring himself to do it.
Taking this opportunity, Li Shiming decided to teach his son a lesson.
"Chengqian, look at your nephew! You're only one year old and you're already respected by all the officials in the court. But you'll only disappoint Imperial Father!”
After saying that, Li Chengqian trembled and knelt on the ground. He said,
"Imperial Father, please calm down. Your son will definitely work hard and not let Imperial Father down.”
Although he said that, he could not help but feel a little unhappy.
Not only was the Crown Prince inferior to his two brothers, but he couldn't even compare to a one-year-old child!
It was a huge blow!
"Sigh, if this Yu 'er is my prince, how good would that be? I will definitely let him inherit the throne!”Li Shi Min couldn't help but sigh.
This sentence was also intentionally said for Li Chengqian to hear.
It was just a whip lashing at Li Chengqian, encouraging him to work hard. Although you are the Crown Prince, the throne may not be yours in the future.
Li Chengqian's heart became more and more panicked!
Ever since he was made Crown Prince, he had been worried that his third brother Li Ke and fourth brother Li Tai would snatch his position.
But now, he felt an even greater danger. Princess Changle's son, the Qilin Saint Child, Li Yu, made Li Chengqian even more afraid.
Li Yu was only one year old, but he was already respected by all the officials in the court. What about ten years old? Twenty years old?
Who knows, he might really have a chance to ascend to the throne!
The more Li Chengqian thought about it, the more afraid he became. He had to think of a way to make this child leave the capital. As long as he left the center of power, no matter how heaven-defying he was, he would not be able to threaten his throne.
He made up his mind.
At this time, Li Shiming wanted to go to Changle Palace immediately to visit his grandson, Li Yu.
He said impatiently,
"Dear ministers, if there is nothing else, we will withdraw from the court today.”
All the officials were stunned.
Your Majesty, the morning court session has just begun. Other than the matter of the little imperial grandson, nothing else has been discussed.
"Your Majesty, this year's Imperial Examination Autumn Test is about to be held. This is the list of candidates for the various subjects.”
Wei Zheng said. He was the chief examiner of this Imperial Examination and was very responsible.
"Present it first. Zhen will look at it when I have time.”Li Shi Min glanced at it,
However, he did not notice that among the thousands of examinees, there was the word "Li Yu".
Li Shi Min didn't have time to look at it carefully. At this time, he only wanted to hurry and visit his grandson Li Yu.
After the morning court session,
Li Shimin then headed straight for Changle Palace.
As for Crown Prince Li Chengqian, he went straight to Empress Zhangsun's bedroom.
After a cordial conversation, Li Chengqian pretended to say unintentionally,"
"Mother, your son feels that Changle Imperial Sister has lived in the palace for a long time and is raising her child alone. She is really lonely. Why not find her a son-in-law and have a good marriage?”
Li Chengqian did not directly target Li Yu. Instead, he thought of a way to marry Princess Chang Le off.
As long as Princess Chang Le left the palace, then Li Yu must also leave.
As time passed, when Li Yu faded out of Li Shimin and the officials 'eyes, this so-called Qilin Son wouldn't be able to cause any big waves.
This was Li Chengqian's plan.
The key part of this plan was to marry Princess Changle off.
This was also a matter on Empress Zhangsun's mind.
In Empress Zhangsun's values, women had to marry and assist their husbands.
Unfortunately, the last time she tried to matchmake Chang Le and Zhangsun Chong, she did not succeed.
Zhangsun Chong's performance was so bad that even Empress Zhangsun was a little disappointed, let alone the Princess of Changle.
"Chengqian, are there any young talents among the noble children in Chang 'an who are suitable for your sister Changle?”Empress Zhangsun asked.
Li Chengqian shook his head and said,"
"Mother, your son feels that whether or not you are worthy of little sister Changle, not only does it depend on your background, but also your talent.
The autumn examinations are coming up. Your son feels that I can introduce the top scorer of the autumn examinations to little sister Changle. Perhaps she will be moved.”
Empress Zhangsun agreed with his words and said,"
"Chengqian, your suggestion is not bad. Perhaps you can really help Changle find a suitable husband.”
