Chapter 100 You are also my uncle, you have to love me too! [Please subscribe]

"Mother, I heard that my uncle was dismissed from his position as Right Servant and Minister of Personnel by our father. Is this true?"

The little fat boy asked Empress Changsun while eating, and his gloating expression was obvious on his face.

Empress Changsun glanced at him calmly and said, "Don't talk while eating, don't talk while sleeping. Didn't your teacher teach you that?"

"But I'm worried about my uncle."

"Why would a child like you care so much about the affairs of the imperial court? Eat well and then go to the Hongwen Academy. Those university scholars are all famous scholars valued by your father. Don't neglect them!"

"This"

The little fat boy hesitated for a moment, then explained with a bitter face: "Mother, you don't know. It's not that I'm negligent, but I have nothing else to do now. I can only compile a small part of the catalog of the Zhenguan Encyclopedia."

Empress Changsun smiled, then reached out and touched the little fat boy's head, saying softly, "Qingque, since you know your abilities are limited, you should study harder. When you grow up, you should assist your brother and govern the country."

"My royal brother is so powerful, does he still need my assistance?" The little fat man curled his lips.

Empress Changsun said sternly, "You are his younger brother. Of course, he needs your assistance. You are like Duke of Zhou Ji Dan and Duke of Zhao Shi. Mother hopes that you brothers will work together to build the Tang Dynasty into a prosperous and powerful nation."

"But."

"Mother, when will my brother come back? I haven't seen him in a long time. When he left, he didn't even say he wanted to see us before leaving!"

Before the little fat man could finish his words, Li Lizhi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly interrupted.

"Ok?"

Empress Zhangsun was stunned for a moment, then her expression softened. She turned to look at her eldest daughter and said with a smile, "Lizhi, do you miss your brother?"

"Yes, recently my cousin has been asking me about him all the time, and I'm a little annoyed by her questions. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him for a long time." Li Lizhi said with a pout.

Empress Changsun was stunned again, and asked in disbelief, "You said Pingting asked you about Cheng Qian?"

"Yes, my cousin said that my brother was like a different person and asked me if it was because of my illness. I couldn't explain it, so I didn't tell her. However, she not only asked about my brother, but also kept mentioning my cousin. I really don't know what she was thinking."

"hehe."

When Empress Changsun heard Li Lizhi say this, she immediately understood Changsun Pingting's little thoughts.

In fact, Changsun Wuji's wife, Mrs. Meng, often mentioned the matter of strengthening the relationship between the two families in front of her.

But both she and Li Shimin felt that the child was still young and there was no need to rush. They could wait until the child grew up.

Now I heard Li Lizhi say that Changsun Pingting often mentioned Changsun Chong in front of her. I guess she wanted Li Lizhi to have a deeper impression of Changsun Chong.

Thinking of this, Empress Changsun smiled and shook her head, then said with emotion: "Pingting is eleven years old this year, right? In a few years, she will be getting married. It's going so fast."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched Li Lizhi's hair, and smiled gently: "Our Lizhi must also find a good family in the future!"

"I don't want to, I want to stay with my mother and father forever!"

Li Lizhi pouted and said something, then suddenly seemed to remember something and blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, "Mother, your birthday is in a few months. Will my brother come back?"

"he"

Empress Zhangsun hesitated for a moment and sighed helplessly: "Mother doesn't know either. It depends on your father. Without your father's will, he can't come back."

"Hmph! When the time comes, I'll go and beg Father and tell him I miss my brother!"

"Sister, my brother is now the crown prince. Father's decision to send him to Jiangling is a matter of state. Please don't act recklessly."

When the fat boy heard Li Lizhi say that she wanted to ask Li Shimin to let Li Chengqian return to Chang'an, he hurriedly spoke out to stop her.

But Li Lizhi rolled her eyes at the fat boy and said, "What do you care?"

After saying that, he stood up and ran out.

"Mother, look at my eldest sister." The little fat boy looked at Empress Changsun with some depression.

"hehe."

Empress Changsun smiled but made no comment on the matter. Instead, she said to Xiangling, "Xiangling, go inform my brother and tell him I want to see him!"

"Yes."

Xiangling bowed in response, then turned and left Lizheng Hall.

Li Tai's eyes rolled, and he stood up and walked to Empress Changsun's side, saying, "Mother, it's been a long time since I last massaged your back. Can I take my brother's place and show my filial piety to you?"

"Our Qingque is still very obedient. Mother is a little tired."

Empress Changsun smiled and nodded, then turned her back to Li Tai and enjoyed the little fat boy's filial piety.

It was unknown how long it had passed before Changsun Wuji, dressed in casual clothes, walked into the gate of Lizheng Hall under the guidance of Xiangling.

"younger sister!"

Changsun Wuji knelt in the designated position and called out softly.

Then a palace maid came out carrying a heater and some dried fruits and snacks.

at the same time.

Empress Changsun's voice also came over: "Wuji, do you still remember what I said to you that night? Don't say I didn't warn you. I told you long ago that if foreign relatives interfere in government affairs, there will be no good end!"

"Ah!"

Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji snorted, but ignored Empress Changsun. Instead, he picked up a dried fruit, stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it while shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

He knew that Empress Changsun had no ill intention in saying this, but only wanted to persuade him to give up the idea of ​​interfering in politics.

However, there were some things he simply could not tell Empress Changsun.

But Empress Changsun changed the subject again: "But your current fate is not bad."

"Oh, sister, don't worry. I said that if I don't get involved in politics, then it's fine. But if I do, I must gain something!" Changsun Wuji said impatiently.

Empress Changsun retorted angrily, "What have you gained? So many people are bothering you!"

"Puff--" As soon as Empress Changsun finished speaking, a burst of suppressed laughter was heard behind her.

"Ok?"

Empress Changsun and Zhangsun Wuji were both stunned.

But the little fat boy said in a panic and aggrieved voice: "I'm sorry, mother, I thought of something funny and couldn't help it."

"What's so funny?"

Changsun Wuji stuck his head out and asked with a frown.

"Uh, this, this"

The little fat boy looked flustered and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Empress Zhangsun glared at him helplessly and said, "Give me a good back massage and stop letting your mind wander."

"Yes, mother."

The little fat boy responded obediently and started to massage Empress Changsun's back again.

Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes and said nothing more, but reiterated: "My gains are also your majesty's gains."

"How dare you mention His Majesty? He was almost implicated by you."

"How could I possibly bring trouble upon His Majesty?"

Zhang Sun Wuji said somewhat displeasedly, "Confucius said that overcorrection is the end of the world. I must overdo things. Only by overdoing things can I achieve a 70% effect. If I don't overdo it, the effect will only be 20%!"

"Just wait and see. This time, His Majesty will relieve me of my duties as Right Servant and Minister of Personnel. This will definitely have a 70% effect!"

After saying this, he suddenly seemed to remember something and said with emotion: "If Cheng Qian were in Chang'an, I would have absolute confidence that I could achieve a perfect effect!"

"I never thought that you uncle and nephew have such a good relationship!"

Empress Changsun joked with some amusement.

Changsun Wuji said noncommittally, "I can't tell my sister much about Cheng Qian's affairs, but being able to achieve 70% of the effect is enough!"

"I didn't realize that besides studying, you're also good at politics!"

"Hahaha!"

When Zhangsun Wuji heard what Empress Zhangsun said, he suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter. After a while, he stopped laughing and looked at the fire in front of him with sharp eyes. He said word by word, "The Zhenguan period should behave like the Zhenguan period!"

After hearing this, Empress Changsun smiled knowingly.

The little fat man stuck his head out and looked at Changsun Wuji with a dull expression.

For the first time, he felt that this uncle, whom he had always ignored, was a great man.

No wonder the emperor is close to his uncle!
No!

You are my uncle too! You have to love me too!
the other side.

Outside Changsun Wuji's residence.

A tall and handsome farm boy, holding a piece of paper in his hand, looked inside the door from time to time and wandered left and right from time to time.

The two guards guarding the gate frowned.

After an unknown amount of time, one of the guards couldn't help but step forward and yelled, "Hey, kid, this isn't the place for you. Get out of here!"

"what?"

The farmer was startled and bowed quickly, "Excuse me, big brother, is this the residence of Zhangsun Wuji, the Right Servant and Minister of Personnel?"

"Where did you come from, you rascal? Are you here just to mock my master?"

Before the two guards could answer the farmer, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler walked out with a grim face.

"Ah? I didn't. I was invited to Chang'an from Hedong by your master."

"absurd!"

Before the farmer could finish his words, the housekeeper interrupted him harshly: "What is the status of my master? He is a royal relative. Would he invite a farmer like you all the way to Chang'an? Don't you even take a piss and look at yourself!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and said, "Get rid of him! Don't let him hang around outside our house. It's really bad luck!"

"Yes!"

The two guards responded and immediately walked towards the farmer.

Seeing this, the farmer's face darkened. "What's wrong with you, the housekeeper? Why are you kicking people out without explanation? I have the evidence in my hand, and you won't even look at it?"

"certificate?"

The butler sneered and said jokingly, "Some time ago, someone also took a certificate. It was a letter written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. What? Is that also a letter written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? If so, I will welcome you into the palace immediately!"

"I"

The farmer was speechless for a moment after being asked by the housekeeper.

Because his credentials were obviously not a letter written by the prince himself.

When the butler saw that he was speechless, the smile on his face became even wider: "Why? Can't you take it out?"

"Humph!"

The farmer was not willing to endure such humiliation. He snorted coldly and turned to leave.

At this moment, a sweet and melodious voice suddenly came from inside the door: "Warrior, please leave your name!"

"Hedong! Xue Li!"
