After thinking about this, Li Chengqian hurried to catch up. Normally, since this was a bad thing happening in the royal family, Li Chengqian had enough time to let the people around him disperse. After all, these people were officials from the previous dynasty. But Li Chengqian seemed to have forgotten this and walked directly towards where the emperor was. The people behind him had no chance to say goodbye to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so they could only follow him.
"Why should I let my son go to Nanzhao? That place is simply a barren place. My son will never go to Nanzhao..."
When Li Chengqian arrived, he heard this kind of noise. It seemed that the people at the door would not let Li Tai in. As a result, Li Tai could not wait any longer and actually cursed at Li Shimin at the door. "Do you think you are still a child?" If you were a child, Li Shimin would not have bothered with you. But you are now His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei in the Tang Dynasty, almost second only to the emperor. In this situation, if you still don't understand the rules, who will tolerate you?
"How dare you speak rudely to me, I won't mind it, but do you know what kind of place this is? Don't you even care about our father?"
Li Chengqian limped forward, and even then his voice was filled with majesty. After all, he was the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and being in that position for too long would be stressful.
"Then why don't you let your son go? Why don't you let your son go to that godforsaken place?"
Under normal circumstances, even if it was to block other people's eyes, when Li Chengqian scolded him, he would listen obediently. At most, he would find a chance to get back at him later, but he would never refute him on the spot. After all, in this era, what matters is brotherly love and respect.
Why do people call each other "father" and "brother"? It's because when your father is not around, your eldest brother can take care of you. If you disobey your eldest brother, although it has nothing to do with filial piety, you are not a good person and others will not work with you.
"Shut up! Don't you see where this is? Do you think you can act wild? What are you still doing? Take the person away."
Li Chengqian's voice was loud and everyone inside could hear it. Li Chengqian was also puzzled at this time. According to Li Shimin's temper, even if he was very partial to Li Tai, he should have come out long ago, but why was there no sound at all now?
Li Chengqian looked up at the eunuchs on the steps. Their expressions were all different and he really didn't know how to describe them. Could there be someone else inside?
At this moment, Li Shimin's face had turned black. In addition to the three people just now, there was another person in the room, that was Kotgul, the envoy of Nanzhao Kingdom.
This person came all the way from the Nanzhao Kingdom and expressed the Nanzhao Kingdom's admiration for the Tang Dynasty. Before, all the conversations were good, but since the King of Wei broke in, he just closed his eyes and didn't say a word.
I know the rules of the Tang Dynasty. I didn't ask for the princess of the Tang Dynasty to marry me. I just wanted to express the idea of marriage with the Tang Dynasty. But I didn't expect that the prince of your country would look down on a small border country like ours.
Of course, this is also a fact, but even if you look down on it, there is no need to say it on the spot. What do you mean by this? He even wondered in his heart, was this arranged by Li Shimin? Was he deliberately embarrassing the Nanzhao Kingdom?
"Let me go, you bastards! If you offend me today, I will kill all nine of your clans."
With the order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they naturally dared to do things. If there was no order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they would probably have to let the King of Wei scold them here. After all, the King of Wei's status was not low, and there were only two people in the palace who could control him.
"Your Highness, the Emperor invites you in."
Li Chengqian watched his men dragging Li Tai out, and he knew that the emperor would definitely call him in. Something difficult must have happened inside, but Li Chengqian didn't know how to deal with it. It was obvious that this matter was caused by Li Tai.
Li Chengqian tidied his clothes and followed Wang De in. He knew the other two people in the room, but at this moment their faces were very ugly. After all, Li Tai had caused such a thing, and in front of foreign envoys, which was obviously a loss of national dignity.
"Tell me, what happened just now?"
Li Shimin heard it clearly, but in front of the foreign envoys, he had to find a way to give them an explanation. Although Li Shimin did not introduce this person, Li Chengqian suddenly remembered that judging from the clothes and decorations on this person, he should be an envoy from Nanzhao.
Li Chengqian was also secretly saying that he was unlucky at this time. If he had known this would happen, he would never have come to watch the fun. Now, the emperor couldn't solve this problem, and the ball was kicked to his feet. If he couldn't solve it himself, wouldn't it mean that the prince was incompetent? The emperor couldn't say he was incompetent, so he would be blamed.
"In reply to your Majesty, this is purely a matter between my second brother and me. We heard that a princess from the Nanzhao Kingdom was going to marry into our family, and we had an argument about it. Who knew that my second brother, after drinking today, would insist on coming to you to seek justice, which is why what happened just now happened."
Li Chengqian's eyes rolled, and he knew that he had to pay something today, otherwise he would not be able to fool the envoys from Nanzhao.
Li Shimin raised his eyelids. He knew that Li Chengqian was actually quite talented, but he just didn't follow the right path in his early years. It seemed that his son had already figured out how to deal with it, and he just needed to cooperate.
"Then why are you two arguing? Don't you know where this place is? Even though you are both my sons, one of you is the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is a prince of the Tang Dynasty. How can this be allowed?"
Li Shimin was also puzzled. You scolded me so clearly just now. Can you still turn the tide?
"In reply to your father, we both heard from others that the women in Nanzhao are extremely beautiful, so we both wanted to marry them to our sons. But I don't know what happened and we started arguing..."
Li Chengqian was a man who could tell lies with his eyes open. He made the matter into this form in an instant. He knew that the envoys from Nanzhao Kingdom did not know much Chinese and must have not heard it clearly just now, but it must be related to their country.
