"I want to hear the truth. No matter what you say, I will not blame you."
Li Shimin sat down at this time and pointed to the seat next to him. Shangguan Yi looked at the Holy Master and sat down with some anxiety.
Your Majesty asked him to evaluate the princes. This is indeed difficult to evaluate! These are all the sons of the Holy Sage. If they say the wrong thing, it will be a big deal.
Although the Holy Spirit said that he would not blame me, and the Holy Spirit always listened to his honest advice when doing things.
However, since all the princes were involved, Shangguan Yi did not dare to talk nonsense. If His Majesty is offended, even if he is not punished, it will make His Majesty unhappy.
At this time, Shangguan Yi sat down and put a cup of tea on the table. She took this time to quickly sort out what she should and should not say.
There are many techniques involved in evaluating the prince and making his majesty feel that what he said is pertinent. In short, it is to avoid the important points and ignore the light ones. What should be said is long and what should not be said is passed over in one sentence.
Shangguan Yi first started talking about the Crown Prince Li Chengqian, and there were all kinds of complimentary words. He talked about these with his own language. Although Taizong could also hear some of the exaggerated praises, it was still the same sentence. Others praise themselves. Son, as a father, I am happy.
"The prince did nothing wrong?"
Shangguan Yi praised him for a while, and then Taizong suddenly asked.
"Of course this is true. I think that His Highness the Crown Prince sometimes pursues fun too much, and there are always some bad rumors in the palace."
"Male favorite!"
"Your Majesty, I forgive you for being disrespectful."
Shangguan Yi quickly stood up and knelt down in front of Li Shimin.
"Well, I have already said that no matter what you say today, I will forgive you. There are only you and me here, so there is no need to be careful about what you say."
Shangguan Yi wiped his forehead with his hand, and there was already a thin layer of sweat.
"How is King Wei?"
"To answer your Majesty's question, King Wei is naturally smart and studious, and he is proficient in geography, rivers, mountains and landform trends. Your Majesty will ask the princes about something on weekdays, and King Wei's answers will satisfy your Majesty."
"But he's been acting more and more recently."
"Your Majesty, I think there are some things, and it depends on how you treat them."
"Shangguanyi, you don't have to excuse him. Wrong is wrong, and right is right. In the past, Duke Xuande of Baidi City Tuogu also said, don't do evil because it's small, don't do good because it's small. But A virtuous person is virtuous and can obey others."
"I still neglect to discipline him a little!"
"Your Majesty is busy with government affairs. How can this be His Majesty's fault? It is because we, the ministers, failed to fulfill our duties."
"Okay, let's talk about the other princes."
Shangguan Yi naturally told them one by one. For the older ones, he naturally talked more about their personal character, and for the younger ones, he talked more about their academic character.
Speaking of Shu King Li Min and Cao King Li Ming, Shangguan Yi said a few more words. This is naturally because these two princes have changed the most this year.
Among them, the King of Shu is particularly obvious. He has stopped messing around recently, and often goes to the palace to accompany Concubine Yang and do some serious things. Even if it is just clothes for his daughter, it is better than the old days when he was a friend of a gangster, leading his slaves to do evil, and making trouble everywhere. Too much.
And King Cao Li Ming is inherently withdrawn and not good at communicating with others, so he can only talk to his biological mother, Princess Chao.
At this time, not only did she often play with the princes and princesses in the palace, her homework was also much better than before, and her withdrawn temperament had obviously changed a lot.
"The King of Shu and King Cao are indeed doing well recently, and so are King Ji and King Zhao."
The monarch and his ministers laughed when they met each other. All these changes were due to one person. Shangguan Yi was talking about His Majesty's sons at this time, and he was just evaluating all the princes, except King Jin.
"Shangguanyi, what do you think of King Jin?"
"Since His Highness the King of Jin fell seriously ill this year, I thought that His Highness might have experienced this serious illness, but he has become much more mature and steady."
"Your Majesty naturally knows everything that His Highness has done, so I won't say more. I will only talk about two small things that I know."
"Shangguan Aiqing, please tell me."
"When the King of Jin recovered from his illness this year, he lived in Wanchun Palace, with his maids Xia He and Chuntao waiting by his side. These two maids often came to Hongwen Pavilion and the History Museum to borrow books, and I met him several times."
"Lent it to King Jin?"
"Except for His Highness, it can't be anyone else. I deeply admire His Highness's eagerness to learn."
Taizong nodded. Hearing what Shangguan Yi said, he felt the same way.
How could a father not see that a child loves to learn? Besides, his own son loves to learn.Not only studying literature, but also studying martial arts very diligently.
At this time, Zhi'er's body was strong, and Taizong even heard that he killed a hungry wolf with his bare hands. This kind of courage was rare among many princes.
And it has only been half a year since he first recovered from the illness.
Li Shimin was really pleased to have a son who was talented in both civil and military affairs.
"Shangguan Aiqing said he only wanted to talk about two things. Is this the second thing?"
"Back to Your Majesty, this second thing is what I saw in Hongwen Pavilion today. At that time, King Zhao and King Cao and the little princess were chasing the silver fox outside. When King Jin saw it, he quickly reminded him to be careful about the care between brothers and sisters. Qing Rangchen reminds me of the past when I see you."
"Zhi'er is indeed a relationship between brothers and sisters. It has always been a matter of affection."
At this time, Li Shimin¡¯s hand unconsciously knocked lightly on the table.
A few days ago, he also heard about Princess Changle and Princess Yuzhang staying overnight in Prince Jin's Mansion, and Princess Changle and Prince Jin sleeping in the same room and bed. At that time, he thought more about it.
?????????????????????????????????????: The queen only said that Zhi'er often did this and slept with her, so Li Shimin didn't pursue it. At this time, after listening to Shangguan Yi's words, he felt that he shouldn't think too much.
¡°My son, hasn¡¯t he been close to his sisters and brothers since he was a child? Could it be that he would do something extraordinary when accompanying his sister?
¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with Prince Jin?¡±
"Yes, I think there are too many women around Your Highness."
"Haha, my son has my temperament, but I don't think he is as good as him in terms of ability. This trip to Xingyang, I just brought back the two daughters of the Zheng family in Xingyang."
"Shangguan Aiqing, do you know what Zhi'er said to his mother?"
"Of course this minister doesn't know."
"He told his mother that he abducted two sisters from the Zheng family."
"His Royal Highness may still seem too young sometimes and may act a bit mischievously."
"I really like how he behaves like this."
The monarch and his ministers were silent. Maybe Li Shimin had some interest at this time and asked someone to prepare a jar of wine.
It is very common for people in the Tang Dynasty to drink alcohol, especially in winter, which is the best time to drink.
The monarch and his ministers were drinking together. In the excitement of the wine, Li Shimin asked Shangguan Yi a question. Shangguan Yi did not dare to say a word for a long time.
Your Majesty is asking whether the position of Crown Prince should be filled by a person who has both ability and political integrity and can handle everything properly.
Shangguan Yi naturally did not dare to say anything on this issue and could only remain silent. He could tell that His Majesty had already considered changing the position of Crown Prince. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
