"Imperial Father, are you worried that one day, Green Sparrow and I will repeat the same mistake and repeat the tragedy of the Black Tortoise Sect incident?”Li Chengqian didn't look away from Li Shiming's surprised eyes.
"Bastard, why would I think that?”Li Shi Min was a little angry and said,"You and Green Sparrow are both my children. Of course, I hope that you will be brothers and get along well. I believe that you will not disappoint me.”
The incident at Xuanwu Gate was an eternal pain in Li Shiming's heart, and it was also a blame that he could not escape. Especially Li Yuan's curse, it was like a nightmare that Li Shiming could not forget.
It wasn't that Li Chengqian didn't know the taboos in Li Er's heart, but for his good brother Li Tai, he could only touch the tiger's beard once.
"Since Imperial Father thinks so, why don't you let Green Sparrow and Duan Peng learn the art of war?”"Aren't you afraid that the green sparrow will learn the art of war and repeat the Black Tortoise Sect's coup one day? Aren't you afraid that it will kill me, the Crown Prince, and replace me?" Li Chengqian rebuked loudly.”
"You!" This was the first time Second Emperor Li was rendered speechless by his ten-year-old Crown Prince. Just as he was about to say something in anger, Li Chengqian spoke again.
"If Imperial Father is really worried about that, then Chengqian can give up the position of Crown Prince and give it to Green Sparrow. Then, he won't have to worry about brothers killing each other again.”"I don't believe that Green Sparrow would treat me like that either. We're brothers." Li Chengqian cried.”
"I can also immediately become a vassal and never return to Chang 'an.”Li Tai said," If Father is still worried, then send me to the border town. I'm willing to be a soldier wherever I go. As long as Father is at ease and the Crown Prince is safe, I have no regrets."”
Li Shi Min was shocked. For the first time, he began to treat the two princes as adults. They were not children, but adults who could take responsibility for themselves.
"You guys are very good." Li Shi Min also had tears in his eyes, but he smiled and said,"All of you are stronger than Zhen, Zhen is very comforted.”
A year had passed, and the smell of blood was still lingering in the Black Tortoise Sect. Li Shiming felt more or less guilty, and the fear of Li Yuan's curse made him very nervous about the relationship between Li Chengqian and Li Tai.
However, the two children's attitude today made Li Shiming feel relieved. Moreover, Li Er Emperor firmly believed that under his governance, there would definitely not be another change in the Black Tortoise Sect.
"Green Sparrow, I permit you to take Duan Peng as your master and learn the art of war. You must do your best for the Great Tang.”"Duan Peng is a genius in the army camp, he can be considered my son's great teacher."”
"Imperial Father, you're underestimating Duan shi.”" Master Kong Yingda once said that Master Duan is the number one prodigy of the Great Tang," Li Tai said indignantly." Although he doesn't follow the path of Confucius and Mencius, his words are meaningful and wise. There was once a saying," A teacher should impart knowledge and dispel doubts." Now, it had become the principle of Kong Yingda's conduct.”
"Not bad." Li Chengqian also rushed to say," Duan Peng is a cautious person in managing the army, but he is very bold and dares to try. It was said that the mandarin duck formation from before and today's cavalry tactics were praised by General Li Jing. He even said that in ten years, no one in the world would be able to defeat the Edge of the Royal Guards. "I think Green Sparrow and Duan Peng will definitely be able to become a powerful Great General if they learn from each other. After I ascend the throne, Green Sparrow will definitely be able to help me protect the Great Tang and even expand my territory. I will become an emperor even more powerful than my father.”
If Li Chengqian's words were said five years later, Li Shiming would definitely punish him, and perhaps even abolish his position as Crown Prince.
However, Li Shiming was extremely happy to hear that. He was a young man with great ambitions. He was indeed his son. The most important thing was that he trusted his brother so much.
Such a sincere brotherly relationship made Li Shiming suddenly jealous of his two sons. Li Tai also said a sentence at the right time. He bowed to the Crown Prince and said that he would die before he died. Li Shiming laughed heartily.
The matter of taking Duan Peng as his master was settled. Li Tai and Li Chengqian left the Dew Palace together.
When they reached the door, Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai for a long time before suddenly laughing out loud, causing Li Tai's hair to stand on end.
"Big brother, what are you laughing at?”Li Tai asked unhappily.
"It's nothing. I thought you were ugly because you were fat.”Li Chengqian smiled evilly." Now that you've lost weight, I realized that I was wrong. You're still ugly whether you're fat or not."”
"I'll beat you to death!" Li Tai chased after Li Chengqian in exasperation and beat him up. Li Chengqian hurriedly fled.
The two brothers walked away from the scene. Li Shiming couldn't help but smile when he saw this. He felt very gratified. Suddenly, he felt a warmth on his body. It was Empress Zhangsun who had put a cloak on him.
"The night is cold. Your Majesty, you must be careful of your dragon body.”Empress Zhangsun looked at the backs of Li Chengqian and Li Tai and scolded with a smile,""These two children messing around like this is simply unbecoming. Looks like I have to talk to Duan Peng and properly teach the green sparrow a lesson.”
"It was your idea, Guanyin Maid.”Li Shi Min looked at Empress Zhangsun and smiled,""You want to use the words of the two children to open up the knot in my heart. I thank you.”
Li Shiming was a wise man in his prime. He wasn't very noble, but he was definitely smart enough. He had been blinded by his emotions just now, but now that he was free, he immediately understood the reason for everything.
However, he didn't blame Empress Zhangsun. On the contrary, he was really grateful that Empress Zhangsun had opened up the knot in his heart. He could finally sleep well today.
Early the next morning, Li Tai, the King of Wei, eagerly prepared gifts and sent his big brother, Big Character, and his brother, Li Ke, to Duan Peng's house to become his disciple.
As Li Shimin's Di son, Li Tai, the King of Wei, was second only to Li Chengqian in terms of love. The gifts he received were also very generous.
When Duan Peng heard that Second Emperor Li had agreed, he naturally didn't mind having a prince as a student. In the future, his safety factor in the court would also greatly increase.
After settling the matter of taking Li Tai as his disciple, Duan Peng began to busy himself with the important matter of his life, marriage!
