In fact, Li Jue didn't know much about the history of the Tang Dynasty, only a few of the more famous events and key figures.

For example, the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping, Li Longji, and so on.

However, he did know about Changsun Wuji, after all, that guy had caused the deaths of quite a few people.

Seeing that Li Jue spoke with such seriousness, Li Shimin was momentarily unsure of what to do.

If we follow the normal course of events, once he passes away, Changsun Wuji will definitely be the regent entrusted with the care of the young emperor. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he wields immense power in the court.

But now he is in the prime of his life, and Changsun Wuji is several years older than him. Who knows who will die first?

Therefore, this matter carries a degree of uncertainty.

"Da Sun, what makes you say that Changsun Wuji will wield immense power in the court?"

"It's very simple. The current crown prince is weak and indecisive. As the crown prince's maternal uncle, Changsun Wuji will be the legitimate imperial brother-in-law after the crown prince ascends the throne. Who in the world can control him then?"

"Grandson, you can't be sure about that. What if he dies before the emperor?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue firmly shook his head.

"impossible!"

"Your Majesty will surely die before him, and he won't have many years left to live!"

"What?"

Li Shimin felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, his mind buzzing as he kept replaying the words in his head, wondering if he didn't have many years left to live.

"Grandson, who told you that?"

"His Majesty is only forty-seven years old, in the prime of his life. He can't possibly die so easily, can he?"

"The golden age of the Spring and Autumn Period?"

"He looks like a sixty-year-old man to me..."

When did you watch it?

"On the city wall of Xianyang last time!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin burst into laughter, and the tension in his heart instantly eased.

You're talking about him!

"He really does look about sixty, hahaha..."

In fact, Li Daozong is already over sixty years old; he's sixty-three this year.

If Li Jue's deduction was based on Li Daozong's appearance, then he really doesn't have many years left to live.

"Old Li, don't disbelieve me, I'm telling the truth!"

"Yes, Grandpa knows!"

"Would you like to take a stroll around the Qin Prince's Mansion?"

"think!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately lifted Li Jue down from the railing and then took his little hand as they strolled around the empty Qin Prince's Mansion.

In fact, the Qin Prince's Mansion was also called Da'an Palace, where Li Yuan lived after he abdicated.

However, after Li Yuan's death, Da'an Palace was converted into the Prince of Qin's residence and then left idle.

Li Shimin would not come to the Prince of Qin's residence unless absolutely necessary.

Because whenever I come here, I always think of my late father, and the words he once said...

You have killed my children and grandchildren, and one day your children and grandchildren will do the same!

At first, Li Shimin dismissed these words, but when Li Chengqian rebelled two years ago and Li Tai uttered the words of killing his son to pass the throne to his brother, he gradually realized the despair his father had felt back then.

His final choice of Li Zhi was precisely to avoid a situation of fratricide. But no one could have predicted that Chengqian would predecease him…

"This is where the King of Qin used to sleep!"

"Yeah?"

Li Jue walked in curiously, only to find that the room wasn't very big, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Does the King of Qin live in such a small place?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin patiently explained.

"Actually, His Majesty's residence isn't very large. People are prone to nightmares and restless sleep if they live in too spacious places..."

"Oh oh oh..."

"Uncle Li, do you know where the deposed Crown Prince Li Chengqian lives?"

"I……"

Li Shimin felt a pang of pain in his heart upon hearing this; this child still missed his father after all.

"Know!"

Li Shimin led Li Jue to a small courtyard.

"The Crown Prince lives here!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue immediately ran into the courtyard, filled with curiosity about every plant and tree there.

Upon seeing this, Li Shimin felt as if he had returned to twenty years ago, when he was still the Prince of Qin, and every time he passed by this place, he would see Chengqian running towards him.

But time has passed, and the person is gone, leaving only this garden overgrown with weeds and endless regret.

"Grandson, do you like it here?"

"like!"

"Since you like it, then I'll give this place to you!"

Li Jue rolled his eyes dismissively upon hearing this.

"Old Li, please stop teasing me!"

"This is the Prince of Qin's residence, the palace where His Majesty once lived. Who in the world would dare to give this place away?"

Li Shimin was not annoyed by these words; he simply laughed heartily.

He had already secretly decided that when the child grew up, he would give him the Qin Prince's Mansion to use for marrying a wife. Moreover, he would give him a hereditary position so that no one would dare to bully or look down on him!

"Shall we go out after we're done shopping?"

"Uh-huh!"

Li Shimin led Li Jue out of the Qin Prince's Mansion and pointed in the direction of Xianyang City.

"You've had your fun and played enough, isn't it time to go back to your studies?"

"oh……"

Li Jue, who was originally cheerful, became depressed as soon as he heard the word "reading".

"Uncle Li, when will you be able to finish your work?"

"Almost done, we'll be almost done in three to five days, then I can check your homework, hehehe!"

Wow, that was fast!

"What, you didn't write a single word again?"

Hearing this, Li Jue lowered his head guiltily and mumbled something in a whisper.
