However, Li Jue was still very grateful for Xiao Yu's reminder.
"This student humbly accepts your instruction!"
"By the way, Mr. Xiao, has my grandfather ever done anything illegal or corrupt?"
Xiao Yu winked playfully upon hearing this.
"I wonder which year Your Highness is asking about?"
"ah?"
"Your grandfather has done a lot of things that involve bending the law for personal gain; there are several cases almost every year, hahaha..."
"Leaving aside other matters, just look at how Your Majesty treated your father; it was clearly an act of favoritism on His Majesty's part..."
"this……"
Li Jue never expected to be caught up in the gossip himself, so he immediately gave an awkward laugh and changed the subject.
"The student will escort the teacher home!"
Xiao Yu smiled and asked.
"Is Your Highness not going to look around any further?"
"I'm not going shopping anymore..."
"By the way, sir, I would like to ask you a question."
Tell me!
"What should I do if I want to move out of the palace, or go to my fiefdom like other vassal kings of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Your Highness wishes to take up a fiefdom?"
"yes!"
"Sir, you should have seen my Ninth Uncle's attitude towards me. If I stay in Chang'an, will I still have a good life after he ascends the throne?"
"Therefore, I wish to take up a fiefdom, and I also hope that my father-in-law will grant me a place far away, preferably far from Chang'an, far from the Tang Dynasty..."
"this……"
Xiao Yu had long noticed the discord between his eldest grandson and the Emperor, but he never expected their relationship to become so strained.
His Majesty is determined to make this grandson the crown prince, but the grandson is secretly plotting how to run far away...
"Eldest grandson, do you have some misunderstanding about His Majesty?"
No?
"Hasn't my grandfather always been wise, ruthless, cruel, and tyrannical?"
"You...you think this way about your grandfather?"
Am I seeing things?
Xiao Yu was speechless upon hearing this. Judging from the way His Majesty ascended the throne, he was indeed not a good person, having murdered his brothers, killed his father, and imprisoned his brother. However, considering his humbly accepting advice, working diligently to govern the country, and creating the prosperous Zhenguan era since his ascension, he could indeed be called a wise ruler.
"Your grandfather is a very complex person; it's hard to judge him as good or bad!"
"But your grandfather treats you differently..."
How are they different?
"Your grandfather has high hopes for you..."
Xiao Yu had been forbidden by Li Shimin, so he could only remind Li Jue with the phrase "high hopes placed on him," hoping to enlighten this grandson.
Li Jue seemed to understand something upon hearing this, but when he returned to Taiji Palace after seeing Xiao Yu off and saw Li Shimin standing at the palace gate with a whip in his hand, he had no thoughts at all.
fraud!
You're all liars!
Is this what they mean by placing high hopes on?
This is probably because they're afraid I'll live too long!
