Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately threw the memorial in his hand onto the table and let out a helpless sigh.
"well!"
"I am both curious and afraid to know..."
Zhang Anan sighed upon hearing this. Although he was a eunuch, he was about the same age as Li Shimin and they had been together for over twenty years, so he understood Li Shimin's thoughts very well.
The eldest grandson, who had long since perished in the fire, now appeared before him again. Anyone would feel conflicted and uncertain in his situation.
They were afraid of proving their guess wrong and getting disappointed, but they were also afraid that their guess was right and would bring them even more trouble.
After all, according to the laws of the imperial court, the eldest grandson of the legitimate wife fleeing the place of exile without permission is a capital offense, which is considered treason!
Just then, a young eunuch came over with a tea tray. Zhang Anan quickly stepped forward to take it and personally placed it beside Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, if it is truly as we suspect, then Your Majesty should not pursue the matter of guilt or innocence, but let him happily spend the rest of his life in Chang'an..."
Li Shimin picked up his teacup, took a few small sips, and said...
"Of course!"
"I have already wronged this child enough, and I will never let him be hurt again!"
"However, what to do with him is giving me quite a headache..."
"If it's fake, so be it. I can simply bestow upon him a low-ranking title and grant him a lifetime of wealth and honor. But if it's real, what should I do with him? I can't just let him continue hawking his wares on the streets, can I?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Anan pondered it for a moment and realized that His Majesty's concerns were indeed quite reasonable.
If it is proven that the little boy is indeed the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty, things will be quite difficult to handle. After all, if the reward is too low, His Majesty will certainly be unwilling. But if he is made a king, it will inevitably attract the attention of the world, and the matter of the eldest grandson faking his death and secretly escaping from exile will be brought to light.
Therefore, no matter how it is handled, it is quite a headache for His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, let's take it one step at a time. As long as people are alive, that's better than anything else!"
Li Shimin lowered his head and thought about it, and realized that it was indeed the case.
As long as the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty can be resurrected, no matter how big the trouble is, it is not a trouble!
"You really know how to comfort people, hahaha!"
Just as Zhang Anan was about to say a few words of modesty, he suddenly saw Li Zhi appear at the door and immediately whispered a reminder.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived..."
"ah?"
"Zhi Nu is here! Tell him to come in quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhi entered the main hall, respectfully bowed to Li Shimin, and then held up the Zhenguan Zhengyao (Essentials of Governance in the Zhenguan Era) that he had recently copied.
"Father, this is a copy of the Zhenguan Zhengyao that I recently made. Please take a look!"
