After leaving Jiang Qingyue's residence, Li Qin stretched his back.
Looking at the sky outside, which was gradually darkening.
The temperature is not as hot as before.
Li Qin knew he had to go back to handling official business.
After Li Qin returned to the hall where he handled government affairs, he saw Li Ruwen and Li Ruwu sitting properly on either side of him.
They sat respectfully, and without his permission, the two brothers wouldn't dare touch his memorial.
The two brothers just sat there, neither daring to speak.
Both Li Ruwen and Li Ruwu sat more properly than before.
Moreover, both of them trembled when they saw Li Qin enter.
He immediately stood up and bowed to Li Qin.
At this time, the weather was no longer so hot, and some other things happened.
His mind is now extremely clear.
After Li Qin returned to his seat, he waved to the two men, signaling them to sit down.
After receiving Li Qin's orders.
Both of them obediently and respectfully only sat on a portion of the seats.
At the same time, both of them glanced down at Li Qin.
At this moment, both of them were filled with trepidation.
Li Ruwen was worried about the fact that he had lied to his father today and deceived him.
Li Ruwu, on the other hand, was worried that he had skipped class today and would be caught by his father and dragged back home.
In short, both of them behaved themselves during this observation of the government, and dared not make any unnecessary moves.
What he didn't expect was that it wasn't until the sky gradually darkened that he realized what was happening.
Li Qin quietly handled government affairs without punishing the two of them.
He didn't say a word to them the whole time; the only sound was the sparse, intermittent sound of imperial edicts.
The less Li Qin said, the greater the psychological pressure became for both of them.
Finally, as the time approached...
As Li Qin finished reviewing the memorials and prepared to leave, he swept his serious gaze over the two men with a blank expression.
Li Ruwu knelt directly behind Li Qin and said:
"I skipped class today, please punish me, Father."
After seeing his younger brother Li Ruwu admit his mistake, Li Ruwen took a deep breath, knelt on the ground, and said:
"Father, King, your son has deceived you today. Please punish me."
Li Qin looked at the two who took the initiative to admit their mistakes.
He walked up to Li Ruwu and said:
"Okay, I understand. Go back and rest. Study hard from now on."
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Li Ruwu was overjoyed. He hadn't expected his father to let him off so easily.
He then bowed to Li Qin and left.
At this moment, only Li Qin and Li Ruwen remained in the main hall.
After silently observing Li Ruwen for a moment, Li Qin sighed, stepped forward, helped Li Ruwen up, and said:
"As the eldest son, you bear a heavy responsibility, and you need to think things through carefully."
Remember this: from now on, if anyone asks you, just say you don't know where your brother went.
You can acknowledge your mistakes and correct them, but you cannot admit them.
Many things can be called rumors if you don't acknowledge them, but once you acknowledge them, they become facts.
If you really want to use any means, you must do it secretly, never openly. On the surface, you must appear benevolent and magnanimous.
"I understand, child."
Li Ruwen immediately stood up and bowed to Li Qin.
Li Qin then waved for him to go and rest.
Watching Li Ruwen's departing figure, Li Qin seemed lost in thought.
Li Ruwen and Li Ruwu have completely different personalities.
Although Li Ruwu was quite playful, he was also very loyal and seemed very bold. However, his handling of some memorials revealed that he was not ruthless.
But Li Ruwen is different. He looks honest and gentle, but he is really ruthless.
So what I need to teach him is to put on a veneer of righteousness.
Let him learn to pretend.
You need to learn to keep your thoughts to yourself.
However, education must be done step by step; you can't become fat in one bite.
Moreover, he always referred to Li Ruwen as the eldest son of the legitimate wife, and never as the heir apparent.
Now, everything he values teaching is an implication. How he thinks about it is his business. First, we'll give him the promise that he's valued, and then motivate him to work hard.
Should I also make a promise to Li Ruwu in the future?
For example, things like "the eldest son is often sickly" or "you need to work hard."
After dismissing the two men, Li Qin looked at the memorials that had been processed.
Thinking back to the upcoming southward campaign.
He knew he would be busy for a while.
He would definitely lead the expedition south to Jiangnan in person.
If they were placed in the capital, they would certainly be neglected.
Should I bring them both along on my trip south to Jiangnan this time?
Let them both go with the army to learn and broaden their horizons.
After having this idea, Li Qin thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed a good one.
Li Qin then added their names to the list of those heading south.
Although the journey south took place two months later.
However, this does not mean that nothing will happen in these two months.
During this period, he will be transferred to different offensive positions within the army.
At the same time, the prepared supplies were mobilized, and the local warlords were notified.
Tell them to prepare themselves and bring their troops to the place where you commanded them to go.
Afterwards, they traveled south to Jiangnan together.
With Li Qin's order issued, the entire bureaucratic system of the capital was put into operation.
