Although Li Shimin, that old man, was keeping a close eye on him, which made Li Jue very uncomfortable, he still dutifully memorized two thousand characters of the Zuo Zhuan in order to avoid being beaten.
After finishing, Li Jue didn't have time to gloat; his mind was filled with wondering who had betrayed him!
After all, he organized a cricket fighting league at the East Palace, which won everyone's favor. His classmates, who called him brother, had no reason to betray him!
Could it be Li Zhi?
That bastard is truly treacherous and cunning. I've already been very restrained in not provoking him, so why does he keep targeting me?
As Li Jue was resting his chin on his hand, lost in thought, Li Shimin walked to the small table where Li Jue was sitting, picked up the article he had just memorized, and returned to his own seat to check it.
If you ask why Li Shimin didn't inspect Li Jue in front of him, the answer is... he simply couldn't inspect it without referring to the Zuo Zhuan!
When Li Shimin saw that only a few words were wrong, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.
He truly is the prodigy of the Li family; he learns so much while playing around all day!
Moreover, his handwriting is becoming more and more beautiful, comparable to the calligraphy of Wang Xizhi, which he has practiced diligently for many years!
"Li Jue, you must study diligently in the Eastern Palace from now on, and never misbehave..."
"oh!"
"Does Grandpa mean I passed the test?"
Li Shimin smiled slightly.
"You passed!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue frowned and asked.
"May I ask, sir, who came to you to tattle on you?"
Li Shimin smiled meaningfully upon hearing this.
"you guess?"
"I guess... I guess this has something to do with my Uncle Nine!"
Li Shimin nodded honestly upon hearing this.
"You guessed right!"
"This matter was indeed relayed to my ears by your Ninth Uncle through someone else!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue was immediately enraged.
"Grandpa, can you do something about your son and tell him to stop targeting me all the time!"
“I made a small mistake a few days ago, and he actually made me kneel down and apologize to my husband!”
"oh?"
"There's more to this than that?"
Li Shimin was also very angry when he heard this. He knew Li Jue's character. Although the child did not like to study, he was very polite to his teacher and would never do anything to disobey his teacher.
Li Zhi made him kneel before his teacher over a trivial matter, which touched a nerve with Li Er.
"This is outrageous!"
"I...I will issue an edict to reprimand him immediately!"
Li Jue was full of anticipation, thinking that Li Shimin would surely give Li Zhi a good beating, but he never expected that all he could say was a reprimand!
"Grandpa, you're so biased towards your son! He's bullying me to death!"
When Li Shimin heard Li Jue's complaint, he smiled and said...
Is there any bias?
"Um!"
“Showing favoritism is the right thing to do. He is my legitimate son, how can I not show him some favoritism?”
"I'm still your own grandson!"
"Oh, oh, oh, so you do know he's my own grandson..."
"I……"
Li Jue suddenly seemed somewhat disheartened.
"Fine, just let me leave the palace and let me go back to Xianyang."
"Or give me a fiefdom far from Chang'an, so I can take my brother there to take up my post..."
Li Shimin frowned upon hearing this, wondering what was wrong with the child this time.
"roll!"
"Go back and study properly. You are not allowed to leave the palace without my decree!"
"Can't I even take my husband home?"
"no!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue snorted coldly and returned to the Lizheng Hall in a huff.
After Li Jue left, Li Shimin was also very angry. He immediately summoned Zhang Anan and ordered him to go to the Eastern Palace to reprimand Li Zhi.
Not long after, Zhang Anan returned from the East Palace.
"What did Zhinu say?"
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince acknowledges his mistake but firmly denies any wrongdoing against the eldest grandson, saying that everything he did was for the eldest grandson's good and that he did not want him to neglect his studies."
"snort!"
"This kid's got some shrewdness!"
Seeing that His Majesty was dissatisfied with the Crown Prince, Zhang Anan immediately asked cautiously.
"Your Majesty, do you intend to have the Crown Prince take up his fiefdom?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin glared fiercely at Zhang Anan.
"That's not your place to ask that question."
"This servant knows her crime!"
"But this servant is indeed a little curious. His Majesty clearly favors his eldest grandson more, yet he watches helplessly as his eldest grandson is bullied. He must feel terrible, right?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin sighed inwardly.
"Of course I'm not happy, but Li Jue is too young and desperately needs a whetstone to help him grow up quickly!"
"Oh, oh, oh... Does Your Majesty mean you want the Crown Prince to be a whetstone?"
"well!"
"If there were any other choice, I would not have let Zhinu be the whetstone. However, judging from Li Jue's attitude towards Gao Yang, even if Zhinu offends him in the future, he will not kill Zhinu."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Anan quickly added a sentence.
"The eldest grandson, Renyi, would never do anything to kill his own brother!"
Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.
"That is why I value Li Jue so highly!"
Just as Li Jue returned to the Lizheng Hall, Si Zi rushed over in a hurry.
"Nephew, did your grandfather beat you up?"
"without!"
"That's good... Shall we continue discussing the land division?"
"good……"
"Nephew, why don't you give your Aunt Gaoyang a bigger share of the land? She can build some shops and collect rent in the future, so she'll have some income, right?"
"good!"
"Would it be alright if I gave her a thousand acres?"
"good!"
Li Jue said "good" three times in a row, which completely baffled Si Zi.
