Da Tang: Father, can I resign?

Chapter 2 This is my escape route
Li Ming is not a history major and he did not have the opportunity to check Baidu Encyclopedia before traveling through time, so he does not know what the historical ending of the fourteenth son of the Li family was.

However, as a test-taker who passed the civil service exam, he knows more about literature and history than those stupid netizens.

According to the inference, my ending should not be very good.

Because he was the least favored of all Li Shimin's children.

Just looking at the name given by my father, it seems perfunctory.

"Li Ming", haha, why not just call him Li Si?
Look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again, "Li Chengqian", how loud and impressive, you can tell at the first sound that he is a rare talent, who will inherit the throne in the future.

The situation of an unfavored prince in the Tang Palace was very dangerous.

As we all know, the family relationship of the Li Tang royal family can be simply summarized as follows:

When father leaves, his son smiles; when husband and wife are in harmony, when brother dies, his younger brother stays with him; when sisters are in conflict, there is discord between them.

For example, after Li Shimin's death, Zhangsun Wuji and Wu Zetian carried out several rounds of purges on the remaining princes.

Given Li Ming's status as a person who is neither loved by his parents nor cared for by his parents, it is basically impossible for him to survive this wave of mixed doubles.

His worries were by no means unfounded.

Because in history, Li Ming was forced to commit suicide by a secret edict from Wu Zetian when he was the top military and political leader in the local area.

What? You're not convinced? Do you still want to use the power of one state to fight against the entire central government?

This is the fate of the prince, he is born to be involved in cruel political struggles.

If you can’t go to the Tai Chi Hall, you have to go to the Yama Hall. It’s very exciting.

Li Ming is very self-aware and knows that it is unlikely for him to win the chicken dinner in this exciting battlefield.

The ancients just had underdeveloped technology, they were not mentally retarded.

I am just a grassroots civil servant. When the section chief asked me in the middle of the night that I was working overtime, I could only reply "received" obediently.

Comparing political skills with this group of macho men who emerged from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood during the Zhenguan period and were hoping to be second in the third place in thousands of years of history?

There is everything in the dream.

However, after living a new life, Li Ming didn't plan to be eaten like a chicken.

He wants to survive.

Since being a royal family is dangerous, then——

I don’t want to be a member of the royal family anymore, Shimin!
He wanted to anger his father so that he could be demoted to a commoner and stay away from the vortex of court politics.

It sounds difficult, but it is not easy at all to do.

Because your wise and powerful Majesty is not a ruthless political machine.

On the contrary, Li Shimin was very emotional and cried more times than Lin Daiyu in history books.

So you can't be too reckless, otherwise you will anger your father and easily take decades of detours.

But he couldn't be too suicidal. What if his father, out of consideration for our old friendship, just banished him from the palace but didn't expel him from the clan register, but only allowed him to hold an official position? Then all his efforts would be wasted.

An incomplete retreat is no retreat at all.

During the reign of Emperor Li Zhi, he would sooner or later be dug out by that crazy woman Wu Zetian.

Therefore, Li Ming must strike a good balance and frantically test the emperor's bottom line.

After comprehensive consideration, he decided to be a naughty kid.

Not only is he a bad guy himself, he also drags the children of the powerful and wealthy into being bad guys.

It's just a bear, it's not rebelling, so it doesn't need to be chopped off and trained again.

However, Li Shimin's two concerns were about his children's education and trusted ministers, and Li Ming was undoubtedly using these two concerns to play a song of Dong Feng Po -

His Majesty's good child has been harmed by the prince, so the loyal ministers must catch him and scold him.

This opportunity was given by Li Shimin himself.

If he had not kicked Li Ming into elementary school, this wolf in sheep's clothing would not have been able to destroy the flowers of the motherland.

It could provoke my father's wrath, but without putting his life in danger.

perfect.

In addition to this, there is actually a fastest and evil way to pass the level that has been demoted to a commoner.

That is to randomly select a lucky elementary school student and stab him to death with one knife.

But this shortcut has a small flaw, which is that it is easy to make your life take a shortcut -

The grandfathers of these naughty kids are either prime ministers or command large armies.

If he really hurt someone's kid, no one would be able to protect him once he left the palace.

Moreover, as a grassroots public servant who keeps in mind the political and people-oriented nature, Li Ming could not bring himself to destroy such a thing.

"Ming...Ming brother." Hou Baolin sniffed his nose, tears welling up in his eyes, "My husband has gone to sue you..."

After beating Fang Yize, everyone was dejected, realizing that Brother Ming was going to be in big trouble this time.

Because the old scholar Kong Yingda that Li Ming offended today was no ordinary person.

During the time of Emperor Li Yuan, the saint worshipped in the Confucian Temple was Duke of Zhou. It was Li Shimin who asked Duke of Zhou to step down and make Confucius the rightful sage.

Why is this so? Mr. Kong Yingda, Li Shimin's most trusted confidant, one of the 18 scholars in the Academy of Literature, and the 32nd generation grandson of Confucius, do you have any idea?

"Silly boy, it's nothing to offend a villain." Li Ming stroked Baolin's head with a smile, "If you, as the eldest brother, don't stand up for your younger brother, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes."

This bowl of chicken soup simply exudes a divine aura.

"Brother Ming!" All the primary school students were moved to tears and speechless with gratitude.

As for what sweet potatoes are, that's just an insignificant detail.

The stupid, big, black and rough Yuchi Xunyu immediately wrote a petition: "It's all the fault of that old man Kong, who tells tales all day long!" The leader of the elementary school students, Changsun Yan, stroked his chin and imitated his grandfather Changsun Wuji, saying something incredible in a calm tone:
"Brother Ming, don't worry too much. Let's capture that old man before he starts making trouble in front of His Majesty."

"Yes, yes!" The ministers seconded the motion.

"Bullshit!" Li Ming refuted the ministers' idea of ​​​​clearing the emperor's side without hesitation.

I just want to be kicked out of the palace, not kicked out of the world.

Mr. Kong is already pitiful enough, stop persecuting him.

After a while, an eunuch walked quickly into the yard, whispered a message to the servant, and then bent over to enter the classroom.

"His Majesty has ordered that His Highness Li Ming come to the palace."

The children were in an uproar.

This time the situation was extraordinary. Even little Pauline realized that things were serious. She was beaten so badly that she had to stay in bed for a month.

"Gentlemen." Li Ming bit his lower lip and said goodbye to the ministers solemnly, "If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me. We will meet again!"

After saying this, he left behind a chic back.

After leaving the school, he finally couldn't help himself and loosened his lower lip with teeth marks, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.

This was the first time I was called over and criticized in such a serious manner.

Li Shimin must have been extremely angry.

good, very good, excellent.

Another big step closer to the goal of staying away from the palace!

The tiger runs to the mountains and the dragon returns to the sea.

I won’t play with you anymore!
…………

"Oh, what a coward!" Yuchi Xunyu sat cross-legged on the couch and sulked, his rough black little body rising and falling like a little black ox after plowing the field.

"Brother Ming promised to take us to visit the West Market tomorrow. I have prepared some dry food. What should we do now?"

"Still thinking about playing? Brother Ming is in trouble this time."

"What if His Majesty doesn't let Brother Ming out in the future?"

"Alas, we should tie up that old corrupt scholar who spread rumors!"

Chang Sunyan sighed and stroked his chin, concluding: "Ming Ge is just too kind-hearted."

"Yes, yes!" The ministers reconsidered.

"It's all your fault!" Yuchi Xunyu became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and started to beat Fang Yize.

"Ah, ah, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't hit me in the face..." Fang Yize wailed, "It's useless to kill me now, everyone should think about how to rescue me!"

The truth is this.

However, although the greater good is on my side, you gentlemen are still not fully grown. If you want to drive out the treacherous officials, clear up the situation around you, and support Your Highness, you still need to plan ahead.

To put it bluntly, apart from beating Fang Yize to vent their anger, the elementary school students had no other choice.

From a corner where no one was paying attention, a timid voice came:

"I have a plan."

The elementary school student ignored him and continued to explain the pros and cons to Fang Yize.

"Well...I have a way to save Brother Ming!"

Everyone followed the sound.

In the corner of the classroom, a pretty child was standing with his back bent.

Compared with the other nobles, he was dressed relatively simply and was not very tall. With his hunched back, he looked even shorter.

This self-abased boy was the grandson of Baron Di Xiaoxu of Linying and the son of Di Zhixun, the chief officer of the Kuizhou Military Governor's Office.

In recent years, Di Zhixun was summoned to Beijing to assist King Zheng. His family temporarily lived in Chang'an, and he was able to attend elementary school.

Objectively speaking, the Di family is quite prominent.

But in an elementary school where the average number of officials is below the three dukes and nine ministers, we can only say that Xiao Di still needs to practice being a good father.

Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, family background has been of great importance in the world.

Xiao Di, a transfer student from a "poor" family, could not play with his classmates at all. Over time, he became timid and dared not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the people above.

And the classmates naturally forgot about this dull thing.

Until a cute chubby baby came into the class.

His Highness Li Ming is different from others. He treats everyone equally regardless of their background and pulls Xiao Di out of his autistic corner without any hesitation.

After all, Li Ming was not targeting anyone, as everyone present came from a poor family.

Although Xiao Di didn't say it, he had already accepted this "big brother" who was several years younger than him.

Now that my brother is in trouble, how can I just sit back and watch?

"Di Renjie?" Yuchi Xunyu threw aside Fang Yize and stood in front of Xiao Di in one step, looking down at him condescendingly and asked in a muffled voice:

"What can you do?"

Facing the mountain-like door god Yuchi Gong, Di Renjie swallowed his saliva, but still timidly kept it a secret:
"Brother Ming once said that for the sake of his brothers, he could stab himself in the side twice. I can do it, but I wonder if you guys can..."

Yuchi Xunyu's eyes suddenly turned red:

"You look down on us?!"
