Many foreigners not far away also saw the actions of the two.
They secretly kept all of this in mind. It seemed that the Tang Dynasty had undergone a reform from top to bottom. Including the arrogant prince and the domineering King of Wei, they all knew how to greet the common people. This was obviously the beginning of a powerful dynasty.
As for the scholars of the Tang Dynasty, they had already recorded all of this and it would soon be published in the newly printed newspapers. You must know that when Li Xiang first founded the newspaper, many people thought it was a useless thing, but now the newspaper has become a very good publicity platform. In addition to Li Xiang’s own newspaper, the court has also founded its own newspaper and started to distribute it throughout the country.
"My second brother has been looking good lately. After returning from Tuyuhun, I heard that he started practicing martial arts?"
After seeing off the people heading to the border, the two men started to mount their horses and return to the city. Li Chengqian had some problems with his legs, so he took a carriage. Usually, Li Tai was fat, so he also had to take a carriage, but whenever this guy met his elder brother, he had to ride a horse to show that he was in good health and his elder brother was disabled.
"Thank you for your concern, big brother. I just found martial arts interesting recently, so I found a few guards in the mansion to practice a few moves. It's nothing special."
Although Wei Wang Li Tai spoke lightly, he quietly tugged at his sleeves. Over the past two days of martial arts training, his body was covered in bruises. He had watched Li Xiang dominate the front lines, and he had longed to be like him. If his martial arts skills improved, perhaps the Emperor would allow him to lead troops into battle. But unfortunately, he wasn't cut out for it...
"If you're interested, I have a few martial arts masters in my house. If I lend them to you for a few days, you should be able to improve. It also prevents you from being cheated by those incompetent people."
Li Chengqian said this with a look of contempt in his eyes. You just want to train well and then lead troops in the army. What's the use of that?
Could he be more capable than my son? Although the emperor hasn't rewarded him yet, the memorial from General Li Jing has already arrived in the capital. Even the military god Li Jing admits my son's ability. Do you still think you can have a future in the army?
"Don't worry, big brother. I'm just practicing casually. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
The King of Wei saw a number of officials coming over, and they must be here to flatter the Crown Prince. "You bastards, don't you think about how you treated the Crown Prince when he was walking down the street?" "Do you really think the Crown Prince has forgotten about it now? Why are you here to flatter him again?" Li Tai didn't want to see this scene. After all, these people were here to flatter him, so he prepared to leave first.
"Second brother, please do as you please."
Li Chengqian said coldly. He did not dare to let his guard down at all towards this brother who had the same father and mother. Even though they were now completing the emperor's mission together, he might try to trick him at any time. As for the officials who came to pay their respects on the street, Li Chengqian changed his usual indifference and actually had the carriage stop and had a nice chat with these people for a while.
Li Tai said he was leaving, but he was actually watching from the corner. According to what he thought, Li Chengqian was a loner, and you guys had been causing trouble for the prince before, so even if you came closer now, Li Chengqian would definitely ridicule you. Li Tai was waiting to watch the fun, but Li Chengqian didn't do so, which made Li Tai very disappointed.
After experiencing so many things, Li Chengqian has been reborn. If he can't even swallow this little thing, then he doesn't deserve to stay in the Eastern Palace. After seeing this scene, Li Tai's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and then he rode his horse back. If Li Chengqian changed, then the weakness of the Eastern Palace would be completely gone.
In the past, Li Xiang was a plus for the Eastern Palace, while Li Chengqian was a minus for it. We couldn't do anything about the plus. If we could start with the minus, it wouldn't be a solution for Li Tai. But now the minus is also being improved. Although it's not perfect yet, there is at least a trend of improvement. The Emperor's misunderstanding won't be resolved in a short period of time, but over time, he is, after all, the Emperor's eldest son...
In addition, Li Tai had heard recently that Li Chengqian went to the palace frequently and often asked Li Shimin for advice in person. Even though Li Shimin disliked his own children, he was happy to see them asking him questions. In the past two days, the relationship between father and son had been getting better and better. Although they had not yet returned to their original state, it was much better than before.
Just look at the power in Li Chengqian's hands and you will know. He was originally just a crown prince in name only, but now he is in charge of supervising the Ministry of Justice.
Li Tai also asked someone to investigate. After Li Chengqian took on this task, he almost treated the affairs of the Ministry of Justice as his own. Every major case would be thoroughly investigated, and there would definitely not be any loopholes. While investigating, Li Tai also discovered the man in black around the emperor. It seemed that Li Chengqian really wanted to be a filial son.
Looking at the things he was in charge of, it was nothing more than compiling a book. If it was completed, it would be a merit. If it could not be completed, no matter how much effort he put in, the emperor would at most give him a compliment, and there would be no substantial reward at all.
It seems that it is useless to rely on others. I have to rely on myself. Li Tai turned his horse around and rushed straight to the palace.
Li Shimin was not prepared for Li Tai's arrival, and he was even less prepared for Li Tai's request for an official position. The reason for leaving was very clear, that is, he did not want to be an idle king, and he did not plan to compile books in the future. He just wanted to share the worries of his father.
Li Shimin soon understood what was going on. It must be that his eldest son had made great progress recently, which stimulated his second son. If that was the case, he had to arrange some tasks for his second son.
"I'm very happy that you're willing to help me. Which government office do you want to go to?"
Li Shimin was naturally very happy to see his son making progress.
"I will start from the bottom and go to the Honglu Temple to entertain envoys from various countries who come to Chang'an City..."
Li Tai thought for a while and said that Li Shimin would definitely give him this position. Firstly, it was under his nose. Secondly, due to the arrival of a large number of foreign envoys, the Honglu Temple was indeed short of staff.
