Upon hearing this and glancing at his grandson's expression, Li Shimin knew that his grandson had once again ignored his words.
"You brat, didn't you do your homework again?!"
"I did it..."
"Did you really do it?"
"Where is it? Let Grandpa see it!"
"It's in Sanglin Village, Xianyang!"
"Let me tell you, I'll be done in a few days, and I'll definitely be checking your homework then!"
"If you can't hand it over, don't blame Grandpa for spanking you, hehehe!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue quickly patted his chest and vouched for him.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, I'll definitely deliver it in good quality!"
Li Shimin hadn't actually come to check on his studies; he just hadn't seen his grandson for over a month and genuinely missed him.
I want to pinch this child's chubby cheeks, and touch this child's plump body.
"Once you've had your fill of fun in Chang'an, go back. There are many high-ranking officials and local bullies in Chang'an. It's far less safe than your Sanglin Village!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue immediately recalled the old man he had just met on Zhuque Street.
"Grandpa, I just ran into someone. That person didn't look like a good guy at all. He kept asking me all sorts of questions!"
"My grandson is in such a hurry to come back because he wants to pack his things and get back to Xianyang as soon as possible!"
"oh?"
Li Shimin was immediately intrigued by this. Although he knew that Li Jue had long forgotten the past, he still wanted to hear how the boy would evaluate Changsun Wuji.
"Tell Grandpa why that person doesn't seem like a good person?"
Li Jue tried hard to recall the process of meeting Changsun Wuji, and then pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Well, I just feel that this person is a bit strange, especially the way he looks at people. It's like he's trying to see into people's hearts."
"Besides, this person isn't honest; he's always asking others for information..."
"Oh, by the way, this man's smile is very strange. He looks like a treacherous minister. If he were in the imperial court, he would definitely be the second Li Si or Zhao Gao!"
Li Shimin was greatly surprised by these words, but not by Li Jue's evaluation of Changsun Wuji, but by the fact that Li Jue knew the history of the Qin Dynasty.
"Oh my, you even know Li Si and Zhao Gao?"
"Tell Grandpa what bad things those two did!"
"Mmm, but I only know a little bit, definitely not as much as Grandpa knows!"
"All I know is that after Qin Shi Huang died, Li Si and Zhao Gao forged an imperial edict, passing the throne to Huhai and causing the death of Prince Fusu, which led to the Qin Dynasty's demise after only two generations!"
"But Fusu was really too foolish. How could he commit suicide based on an imperial edict of dubious authenticity..."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin looked at Li Jue with great interest and asked with a smile.
"If you were Fusu, what would you do?"
"If I were Fusu, I would definitely lead an army of 300,000 to Xianyang and personally ask the First Emperor why he ordered my execution!"
"oh?"
Li Shimin was secretly taken aback when he heard this. This child has a good personality, comparable to mine!
"Grandson, do you know that leading troops into the capital without authorization is a serious crime of treason? Even if Qin Shi Huang didn't want to kill Fusu, he would have no choice but to do so."
Upon hearing this, Li Jue casually lay down on Old Li's lap, dangling his own legs over the car window.
"I'm not going to worry about that!"
"I don't think any father in the world could be so heartless as to kill his own son. If he were, he must not be his biological son."
"Since he's not my biological son, why should I listen to him?"
"Why not just follow the example of Emperor Taizong of Tang, who forced Qin Shi Huang to abdicate, and then became emperor himself, creating a reign of peace and prosperity like the Zhenguan era!"
"oh?"
Li Shimin was increasingly pleasantly surprised as he listened, never expecting that Li Jue, at such a young age, would have such insight.
"Judging from your tone, it seems you admire His Majesty the Emperor quite a bit?"
"It's alright!"
"Your Tang emperors are good in every other way. Whether it is leading troops into battle or governing the country, they are exemplary. There is only one problem: they don't know how to teach their sons."
"ah?"
Li Jue was unaware that Old Li's expression had changed, and continued talking non-stop.
"Think about it, the Tang Dynasty had a total of three legitimate sons. One, Li Chengqian, was taught by him to rebel, and another, Li Tai, was taught by him to force the crown prince to rebel. Only one son, Li Zhi, who was unlike his father, was left..."
"well!"
Why am I telling you all this...
Li Jue wisely shut up at this point, for he remembered very clearly that the old man in front of him was the number one lackey of the Tang Dynasty emperor.
He must be unhappy that I spoke ill of Li Shimin to his face.
Li Shimin was initially quite angry, but upon hearing Li Jue's next words, he immediately fell silent.
Don't you know how to teach your son?
I really don't know how to teach my son...
He spoiled Chengqian too much, indulged Li Tai too much, and treated Li Zhi...
never mind!
Li Zhi was only my second choice. If Chengqian and Li Tai had been any more capable, I wouldn't have made such a wretch the crown prince!
In fact, Li Shimin was always dissatisfied with Li Zhi's weak and indecisive personality.
If it weren't for the need to protect his other two sons, he would never have chosen Li Zhi as his successor.
However, despite his best efforts, he was unable to save Li Chengqian's life, which became his greatest pain in the past two years.
Now that he has seen his eldest grandson come back to life, he not only transferred all his guilt towards Li Chengqian to Li Jue, but also gave all his fatherly love for Li Chengqian to this child.
The reason he delayed revealing Li Jue's identity was that he wanted to give the child the best possible arrangement.
