Upon hearing this, Li Tai immediately denied it outright.
"Who said I wanted to blow you up? I just wanted you to help me with an experiment!"
"Fine, if you're too scared, I'll have someone else do it!"
"Hey you, come here for a second!"
Li Tai casually pointed among the guards, and his finger landed squarely on Li Shimin. Li Shimin, embarrassed, touched his face, thinking to himself, "I'm dressed like this, how can this rebellious son still recognize me?"
In fact, Li Tai was nearsighted, and he couldn't see Li Tai's face clearly at a distance of more than ten zhang.
Therefore, his casual pointing was really just an attempt to find a sucker.
But Li Shimin was unaware of this; he thought Li Tai was deliberately trying to embarrass him. Therefore, he immediately walked out with a dark face.
"Rebellious son!"
Who are you pointing at?
"ah?"
Li Tai was terrified upon hearing his father's voice and quickly bowed.
"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, I truly did not know you were over there. I thought it was just a group of guards..."
Upon hearing this, Li Jue burst into laughter.
"Fourth Uncle, I told you a long time ago that I would get you some glasses, but you wouldn't listen. Now you've made a fool of yourself, hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Li Tai glared at Li Jue with displeasure. He had seen the glasses designed by Li Jue, and they were so ugly and heavy that they were completely unusable.
Of course, if jokes like today happen a few more times, he'll have no choice but to reluctantly accept them.
"Why is Father Emperor here?"
"oh……"
"I heard you two are working on something new, so I came here specifically to see what's going on!"
"Father, this thing is dangerous. You'd better stay away from it!"
Li Shimin looked at the "giant winter melon" on the ground, his face twitched in fright, and he instinctively took two steps back.
"Isn't this thing too big?"
"If we detonate this, it might damage the Qin Prince's mansion. Why don't we go outside the city?"
Li Tai thought about it and felt that his father made sense, so he immediately took the hand grenade he had carefully designed and walked outside.
Upon seeing this, Li Shimin turned pale with fright and quickly reprimanded him.
How could you be holding this?
"Quickly put this down and let the guards carry it!"
"Father, this thing won't explode as long as it's not exposed to open flame!"
"The guards don't understand how this thing works. If they hold it, accidents are bound to happen. Let me hold it instead!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin quickly grabbed Li Jue tightly and pulled him away to a safe distance. Only after Li Tai boarded the carriage did he lead Li Jue to another carriage.
Just before getting into the carriage, he instructed the driver to stay away from Li Tai, fearing that the winter melon in Li Tai's arms might explode and affect him and his grandson.
Li Shimin couldn't help but complain as he led Li Jue into the carriage.
Why did you entrust such an important task to him?
"he?"
"Grandpa, he's your own son. You don't even trust him?"
"It's not that I'm worried, it's just that I feel unsafe..."
"Your fourth uncle has been incredibly audacious since he was a child, and he's also extremely arrogant. He's learned this skill, and I can't sleep peacefully at night..."
Li Jue chuckled happily upon hearing this.
"What's wrong, Grandpa? Are you afraid that my fourth uncle will run to Ganlu Temple in the middle of the night to die with you?"
Li Shimin snorted coldly upon hearing this.
"snort!"
"Do you think that rebellious son wouldn't do something like this?"
"I now sleep in a different place every day, for fear that someone might blow me up in the middle of the night!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue burst into laughter.
“Grandpa, you don’t need to worry so much. If you’re really afraid, just send more of the Hundred Cavalry to monitor every pound of gunpowder here!”
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin snorted inwardly, thinking to himself, "I would have done that a long time ago!"
However, the fact that this grandson brought this up on his own initiative is enough to prove that his respect for me far exceeds that of that rebellious son Li Tai!
"It is still my eldest grandson who is filial!"
"Grandson, you invented this thing, what reward do you want?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue was immediately displeased. This old man was always like this; if he wanted to reward someone, he should just do it directly. Why did he have to ask me?
"Grandpa, I want to be the emperor!"
"ah?"
Li Shimin never expected that Li Jue would be so direct, daring to say to his face that he wanted to be emperor!
"Big...Big Grandson, what did you just say?"
"I said I want to be the emperor!"
"this……"
Just as Li Shimin was hesitating, Li Jue pulled out a glass bottle filled with an unknown liquid from his sleeve.
"Grandpa, think it through before you answer!"
"If your answer doesn't satisfy me, I'll..."
Li Shimin was terrified when he heard this, thinking to himself, "Is this child trying to drag me down with him?"
"Great...Great Grandson, please don't be impulsive. I...I have always thought highly of you. I just wanted to wait until you were a few years older before...becoming the Crown Prince!"
Li Jue looked on in disbelief upon hearing this.
"real?"
"Of course!"
"You'd better throw this thing away right now, or you'll blow yourself up!"
"Oh oh oh..."
Li Jue was secretly moved by these words, and then asked another question.
"Grandpa, if you appoint me as the crown prince, what will you do with my Ninth Uncle?"
Li Shimin sighed upon hearing this.
"What else can we do? Of course, we'll just make him a king and send him far away!"
"But you must swear to me that after I pass away, you must treat your Ninth Uncle and the other uncles well, otherwise I will not pass the throne to you!"
Li Jue happily agreed upon hearing this.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, I will definitely treat them well. Even if they rebel, I won't kill them!"
