627 AD, the first year of Emperor Taizong's reign.
In the Great Ming Palace on the north side of Chang 'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shi Min sat on the throne with a pale face. The armrest was engraved with a dragon pattern and a layer of golden paint to represent the majesty of the royal family.
The surrounding area was filled with an air of supremacy that made the officials below bow their heads and kneel, not daring to raise their heads easily.
At this moment, Li Shimin frowned slightly and looked down at Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and the others kneeling below.
He said faintly.
"All of you in the Great Ming Palace are the pillars of my dynasty. Now that this has happened, what good ideas do you have?”
Fang Xuanling stole a glance at the others and saw the helplessness in their eyes. They shook their heads helplessly.
It was not because the officials were incompetent, nor was it because this matter was too difficult to resolve. It was because this was an internal matter of the royal family, and it was the matter of Li Shiming's son.
If they were to encounter any major matters of the country, whether it was the wars against the Eastern Turks, Tubo, Goguryeo, or the internal affairs of the country, these officials could easily deal with them.
However, they were helpless when it came to disciplining a young child. This was because they loved their children very much, causing them to always cause trouble for themselves.
"Take a good look at yourselves. The general below isn't a famous general whose name has already withered ten thousand bones, and the civil official isn't a peerlessly intelligent person. Now, he's helpless against a child!”
Li Shiming looked down and saw that everyone had their heads lowered. No one had thought of a solution. There was not even a sound from below. Li Shiming was furious and immediately cursed.
The matter of his son really made him feel helpless.
He looked at his eldest son, Li Chengqian. He had been extremely smart since he was young and was also obedient and sensible. He did not need to worry about him.
His fourth son, Li Tai, also loved literature and poetry since he was young. He was born from Confucius and Mencius.
As for his other sons, although their abilities were not particularly outstanding, they all looked clever and obedient on the surface.
He looked at his third son, Li Ke, who was doing such ridiculous things.
The third son, Li Ke, was the son of the previous emperor's daughter, Concubine Yang. It could be said that he had the blood of the current and previous dynasties flowing in his body. His status was extremely noble.
He didn't expect that things would be so ridiculous now. Although he didn't go to the extent of kidnapping women or killing people, he didn't like literature and poetry since he was young. It was forgivable when he was young, but now that he was growing up, he went overboard.
For example, a few days ago, he had secretly drunk the white fungus snow lotus porridge that Empress Zhangsun had personally made for the residents. When he was discovered, he blamed Noble Consort Wei's cat for stealing it. It was truly ridiculous.
During this period of time, he even made the Imperial City into a mess, making people helpless.
"Emperor, this old minister thinks…”
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin walked out from the crowd. His expression was extremely serious, as if he had a perfect solution.
At this moment, all the officials had their eyes on Cheng Yaojin, hoping that he would have a good solution.
Cheng Yaojin's serious expression turned into a wrinkled smile in an instant.
He said.
"Emperor, in this old minister's opinion, why don't you capture that brat and beat him a few times?”
Zhangsun Wuji was speechless.
Fang Xuanling was speechless.
Wei Zheng was speechless.
Du Ruhui was speechless.
Everyone was speechless.
Li Shimin was amused by Cheng Yaojin's reaction. He looked at the battle-seasoned general.
After thinking for a moment, he said faintly.
"Let me be honest with you. I've beaten and scolded that kid. Basically, it went in one ear and out the other. It's useless! I even sent imperial guards to follow him and let them help me watch him so that he wouldn't cause trouble. In the end, these imperial guards were played by him.”
The corner of Zhangsun Wuji's mouth curled up slightly. This matter was extremely good for him. The more absurd Li Ke's actions were, the less threatening it was to his nephew, Li Chengqian.
Although Li Ke's mother was the daughter of Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty and had the bloodline of the previous dynasty, it was impossible for her to become the crown prince, let alone the emperor. However, it was difficult to guarantee that there was no power behind the previous dynasty in the current dynasty. He would try his best to suppress them.
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji quickly coughed twice and said.
"Emperor, in this old minister's opinion, we can let the Third Prince open the Imperial Residence ahead of time and let him go to the fief. Then, he can be taught by a master teacher and feel the pain of the people there. I believe that it won't take long for him to grow up!”
Du Ruhui glanced at Zhangsun Wuji from the corner of his eye, thinking that this old fox was trying to kill the Third Prince.
With the Third Prince's current personality, he was helpless against him in the Imperial City. In the past, his fief would be even more lawless. If something happened, he would probably be finished for the rest of his life.
However, Du Ruhui had no reason to offend Zhangsun Wuji.
"Ke 'er is still young. Let's not talk about this for the time being. Do you have any other ideas?”
How could Li Shi Min not see what Zhangsun Wuji was thinking? Although Li Ke's actions were ridiculous, his personality was quite likable.
The other sons were all extremely obedient and did not dare to speak loudly, but his third son, Li Ke, was not afraid of him at all.
This made Li Shi Min feel a bit of warmth and liveliness from home.
"Emperor, let's go see the Third Prince first. After we see him, it won't be too late to think of an idea.”
Fang Xuanling walked out from the crowd and spoke solemnly.
Fang Xuanling is resourceful and Du Ruhui is decisive. The two of them had worked together to resolve many problems for the Great Tang.
Li Shimin nodded in agreement. It seemed that Fang Xuanling had a good idea.
He immediately said.
"Men!"
"Emperor, this old servant is here."
Hearing that it was Li Shi Min, the servant waiting at the door walked in.
"Go and find where Ke 'er is now.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After receiving the order, the chamberlain took his leave.
After a while, someone came over to report.
"Reporting to the emperor, the third prince is currently in the imperial garden. He's, he's…"
"What are you doing? Tell me quickly!"
Li Shiming frowned slightly when he saw the chamberlain's reaction.
"Emperor, Third, Third Prince is currently farming in the imperial garden!”
The chamberlain hurriedly knelt down and said in a majestic voice.
"Nani!"

Wei Zheng was speechless.
