In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Jue, who transmigrated and became the son of the废太子 (cancelled crown prince) Li Chengqian, secretly returned to the longed-for Chang'an from Qianzho...
Although Si Zi said this in a teasing tone, Li Shimin felt very uncomfortable after hearing it.
Sizi is only twelve years old this year, yet he is already facing the torment of life and death at any time, and has even said things like taking care of him in his old age. How can his father bear this?
"Don't talk nonsense, how old are you to be talking about these things!"
Upon hearing this, the prince abandoned his usual obedient and sensible demeanor and looked at his father with a solemn expression.
“Father, I know my condition probably won’t last much longer, so I want to say what’s on my mind while I can still speak.”
"Tell me...tell me..."
"Whatever your wish, Aye will do everything in his power to fulfill it!"
“Father, I don’t have many relatives in this world, only you, Ninth Brother, Fourth Brother, Sister Chengyang, and Sister Xincheng.”
"Finally, there is my eldest nephew, Li Jue. He is not only your only grandson, but also your daughter's only nephew."
“My daughter has been very happy and content every day thanks to my nephew’s care over the past few months. Therefore, I would like to leave my fiefdom, property, and all the rewards my father has given me over the years to him.”
"That way he can focus on his studies and never have to worry about money again..."
Li Shimin felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this, a mixture of gratitude and jealousy.
When her daughter was on her deathbed, the person she cared about most was not her, but her mischievous eldest grandson!
"Hmph!"
"He's a little money-grubber; no amount of money can satisfy him!"
"Father, you don't understand that child. That child isn't earning money for himself, but for our Great Tang!"
"oh?"
“Father, my nephew told me that he wants to turn Sanglin Village into the richest village in the world. He also wants to create a tool that can drive a cart without oxen or horses, and even replace oxen for plowing the fields…”
Li Shimin was startled by these words, and his mind even began to fantasize.
A vehicle that can be driven without oxen or horses?
Could it be the power of ghosts and gods?
It can also replace oxen for plowing...
You've only ever heard of this in mythology, right?
"Sizi, you actually believe this kind of nonsense?"
"That's just an excuse he makes for not wanting to study!"
Upon hearing this, Si Zi immediately became anxious, as she would cough violently when she was anxious.
Therefore, when Li Shimin saw Si Zi coughing, he immediately panicked.
"Father, don't worry, I'm not going to say anything more!"
"Cough cough..."
“Father, you don’t understand that child at all. That child is actually very opinionated and has his own ideas. It’s just that you’ve always treated him like a child who doesn’t know anything…”
"Alright, alright, Father was wrong!"
"Father, take me to Sanglin Manor, I want to eat cake!"
"good!"
