This scene fell into the eyes of Li Chengqian, who was ten years old after all. Especially the children of the royal family are precocious. So when he heard Li Yuan's arrangement, Li Chengqian frowned and said, "Is there something wrong with the emperor's grandfather notifying his father to come to the palace?"
Li Yuan said: "Talk about Du Qi's affairs. Aren't you dissatisfied with Du Qi, thinking that Du Qi only cares about his personal interests and disregards the overall situation of the court? So I called the emperor here to deal with the matter."
"Yeah!"
When Li Chengqian heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
He thought Li Yuan was on his side.
Du Qi saw Li Chengqian's expression, but shook his head in his heart, Li Chengqian is really naive! It is absolutely impossible for Li Yuan to let the emperor deal with Du Qi just because of Lu Deming's words.
The only possibility is to give Du Qi an explanation, which is Li Yuan's reason.
Time passed by little by little.
Not long after, Li Shimin came to the palace. At this time, Li Shimin already knew the ins and outs of the matter. After all, when Xiao Li left to report earlier, he made things clear.
After Li Shimin entered, his expression was quite calm, and he didn't show anything. When he saluted Li Yuan, Du Qi also got up and saluted, and then sat down.
Li Yuandao: "Prince, tell me what you think of Du Qi. Let's talk about this matter today."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Let's listen."
When Li Chengqian saw his grandfather and father, he asked him to talk, and Li Shimin didn't say much, so Li Chengqian said without hesitation: "Master Lu said, the world belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and it belongs to my Li family." .¡±
"Now that the court is in a difficult situation, Du Qi has money, so he can't be alone. He must try his best to help the court."
"If he has money, he should pay."
"Du Qi, from beginning to end, never takes anything away. Such a person is selfish. Especially now that Du Qi is actually named King Pingxi, this is even more inappropriate."
Li Chengqian said: "How can Du Qi have such virtue? How can he be named Pingxi King. You must know that Li Jing, who has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, is only the Duke of Dai, and the clan Li Xiaogong is only the king of Hejian County."
"None of them have reached the title of prince."
"However, Du Qi suddenly became King Pingxi, the only prince with a different surname in the court. This arrangement, I think, is obviously inappropriate."
Li Chengqian put forward his views.
Li Shimin's hands on his knees were slightly clenched into fists, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.
The same goes for Li Yuan.
The two father and son looked at each other, but Li Yuan didn't speak.
After all, Li Shimin is the emperor now.
In conclusion, both Li Yuan and Li Shimin felt indebted to Du Qi. Because during Li Yuan's period, Du Qi made great military exploits just by planning to defeat a hundred thousand Turks.
This is an unprecedented victory, and it is enough to be named a marquis and prime minister. During Li Yuan's period, Du Qi also spent money to build roads, so that Chang'an to Lantian County is now a cement road, which is convenient for traffic.
Furthermore, Du Qi considered the imperial court everywhere, arranged many retired and disabled soldiers, accommodated countless people to work, and solved the livelihood problems of tens of thousands of people.
This is the feat made by Du Qili.
Not to mention Li Shimin ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the money Du Qi paid back and forth, and Du Qi's meritorious deeds can be counted. But now, Li Chengqian said that Du Qi was not worthy of being crowned king, and was even more selfish.
Both Li Yuan and Li Shimin were dissatisfied with these words.
Li Shimin looked at Du Qi, cast an apologetic look, but said: "Erlang, what do you want to do?"
Du Qi naturally understood Li Shimin's expression, and understood the meaning of Li Shimin's words.
This is for him to deal with.
Du Qi didn't directly want to take down Lu Deming, he said: "Your Majesty, if you don't understand the reason, why don't you summon Lu Deming, he is the instigator, let me have a debate with Lu Deming."
After Li Chengqian heard it, he didn't realize Li Shimin's intentions. He became even more angry when he heard Du Qi's words, and said, "Du Qi, you still have the nerve to debate with Master Lu. Huh, when you meet Master Lu, you must be scolded by Master Lu." Feel ashamed."
Du Qi smiled and said, "I hope so."
When Li Shimin heard Du Qi's words, he waved his hand, and the accompanying eunuchs went to deliver the order.
Immediately, Li Shimin looked at Du Qi and said, "Erlang, what's the matter with you coming to the palace today?"
Du Qi said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I came to the palace to see the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty. I thought it was still early, and His Majesty must be busy with government affairs and couldn't get away. ??Come to see the Supreme Emperor first, tell the Supreme Emperor the time of the wedding, and invite the Supreme Emperor to go. Originally, the next thing was to see His Majesty, and His Majesty was invited to visit Du's house on July 18th to attend the minister's wedding. "
Li Shimin laughed immediately when he heard the words.
I see.
When Du Qi entered the palace, he was originally invited to participate.
Li Shimin immediately said: "Erlang, on July 18th, I will attend on time. Well, you and the girl from the Wang family of Huai'an County have been together for so many years, and now you are married, it is really good."
Du Qi said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Chengqian frowned, and said: "Father, for a selfish person like Du Qi, if you go after he gets married, wouldn't it help increase Du Qi's arrogance and domineering momentum. My son has heard people say that In the city of Chang'an, the common people's expressions changed when they heard about it, and they all said that Du Qi couldn't say anything bad. Especially Zhang Jingping, a ranger in Chang'an, is Du Qi's running dog, and he wholeheartedly defends Du Qi. My son secretly thought that the emperor would not Suitable for Du Qi's wedding."
"Shut up!"
Li Shimin scolded.
He had a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
Li Chengqian is indeed smart and obedient, but Li Chengqian has one biggest shortcoming, he has never suffered hardships, and has never experienced the sufferings of the common people. Such a child, even if he is intelligent, but does not understand the sufferings of the common people, will easily fall into conceit.
Especially now, Li Chengqian is prejudiced against Du Qi everywhere, which makes Li Shimin very unhappy.
Du Qi said: "Your Majesty, the prince is still young, after all, he is not sensible. Now is the time for the prince to form his character and form his opinions on things. At this time, whoever says something, the prince may believe it."
"That's why the prince said something."
"The prince is just affected, just change it, it's nothing."
"What's more, the minister is not unreasonable. Some people praise the minister, and some hate the minister. This is extremely normal. Some people in the world slander me and insult me, let him be tolerated, let him, and ignore him. Just look at him."
When Du Qi spoke, he was extremely chic.
It seems very easy.
Li Shimin smiled and said: "You have a good idea. But here, I will not let it go. This time, I will give you an explanation."
As soon as these words came out, Li Chengqian frowned.
The expression on Li Chengqian's face was a bit weird. Before that, he thought that what he did was correct, and even the emperor's grandfather was on his side. But at this moment, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. His grandfather and father were all on Du Qi's side.
They all trust Du Qi.
Calling Master Lu here is supposed to be a debate, but in fact, it is to question Master Lu's guilt. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
