Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

After Li Jue finished speaking, Li Xin, who grew up in the palace, was not willing to be left behind. He also stood up and shouted loudly to compete for favor.

"Grandpa Emperor, you should hug your grandson too."

When the others saw the Crown Prince's legitimate son and the King of Wei's legitimate son competing for favor, different expressions appeared on their faces, and a new idea popped up in their minds.

Will the competition for favor between the Crown Prince and the King of Wei continue into their descendants?

A kind smile appeared on Li Shimin's face. He laughed loudly a few times, then waved at them with a smile on his face and said.

"Come here, Grandpa Huang will hug you one by one."

After getting permission, Li Jue and Li Xin rushed over and hugged Li Shimin's arms on the left and right.

Seeing that their father was very fond of the Crown Prince and the Prince of Wei's offspring, the princes Li Ke, Li Yin, Li Yun and others also whispered to their legitimate sons.

"You guys go up and hug Grandpa Huang too."

After hearing their father's words, the princes' descendants shook their heads like rattles and timidly held their mothers' arms and dared not go up.

They lived with their father in the fiefdom all year round, and had only seen their grandfather Li Shimin a few times, so they were not very close.

When princes Li Ke, Li Yin, Li Yun and others saw the poor performance of their legitimate sons, their faces almost turned purple with anger.

If the situation was not wrong, they might have scolded or punished their offspring.

Du He noticed all the little movements of the princes, then shook his head slightly.

They were not legitimate sons, so it was actually of no use to let their descendants go to Li Shimin to gain his favor.

Just when everyone was having different thoughts, Li Shimin made another big fuss.

Li Xin saw Li Jue touching Du Ping'an's face, and then touching his forehead against Du Ping'an's forehead, acting very intimately.

So Li Xin, feeling envious, reached out his hand and wanted to touch Du Ping'an's cheek, but Li Jue refused.

He angrily pushed Li Xin's hand away, puffed up his face and shouted angrily.

"Take your hands off me!"

"Du Ping'an is my cousin, you can't touch my cousin!"

Then Li Jue walked up to Li Xin and used his body to block him outside.

Seeing Li Jue's domineering look, Li Xin, who had always been at odds with him, suddenly felt dissatisfied. He pushed Li Jue hard and shouted.

"Du Ping'an is also my cousin, why can't I touch his face?"

"Get out of the way, I want to hug my cousin too!"

So the two young brothers, who had always been at odds with each other, started fighting, and Li Jue had the upper hand because of his huge size.

This sudden scene immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the other concubines and princes all had expressions of watching a show on their faces.

The brothers Li Chengqian and Li Tai's faces turned dark when they saw their legitimate son acting like this.

"Nonsense!"

"Get back!"

This was the first time that the two brothers had such a tacit understanding and their scolding voices were exactly the same.

Li Jue and Li Xin, who were at the forefront of the fight, refused to give up at first. Fortunately, the tall Concubine Wei pulled them apart in time, and the fight came to an end.

When the two brothers walked back to their father with their heads down, they were greeted with a barrage of curses.

Li Chengqian scolded in a deep voice: "Du Ping'an is not only your cousin, but also Xin'er and other brothers' cousin. How can you talk nonsense?"

"Apologise now!"

Li Jue was a stubborn boy, and he answered bravely.

"Father, my aunt said that I was the only one who visited my cousin, and I even taught him how to crawl. The other brothers and sisters never visited my cousin once."

"I am my cousin's brother, they are not!"

Listening to what the little brat Li Jue said, everyone sitting in the Linde Hall turned their eyes to the couple.

Li Yi and Du He, who were originally standing and watching the show, were suddenly stunned.

"what's the situation?"

"Why did this bastard Li Jue involve them?"

Especially the person involved, Li Yi, she didn't expect that her casual remark was actually remembered by Li Jue, and he even said it in front of so many relatives.

Just when Li Chengqian was about to deal with Li Jue, Concubine Yan De, who was sitting on Li Shimin's right, came to smooth things over in time.

"Children's words are unbridled."

"Let's start the banquet quickly, or the food will get cold."

Li Shimin, who had remained silent while holding Du Ping'an, finally smiled and spoke loudly.

"Concubine Yan De is right, let's start the banquet now!"

"Yier, Du He, please sit next to the prince."

Du He and Li Yi nodded, and walked to the table with awkward expressions and sat down.

As the banquet began, everyone seemed to have forgotten the incident. They toasted each other and chatted with the relatives around them in low voices.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Li Shimin began to praise each of his sons and appointed them on the spot.

Li Shimin looked at the heroic and extraordinary King Wu Li Ke, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and then he spoke loudly.

"Ke'er, you govern Anzhou very well, but Anzhou is a lower state after all, so it's a bit of a waste of your talent."

"I appoint you as the remote governor of Songzhou, and supervise the military affairs of Songzhou, Haozhou and Chenzhou."

"When you take up your post in Songzhou, remember to learn a lot from the governor of Songzhou. He is a capable official in governing the people."

what!

Let Li Ke be the governor of Songzhou, and also supervise the military affairs of three states!

When everyone heard Li Shimin's appointment, they all showed surprise on their faces.

Especially King Wei Li Tai, his eyes suddenly widened, and then his heart was filled with surprise.

Because Xiangzhou, where he was, was only a hundred miles away from Songzhou.

If he could convince King Wu Li Ke to join him in a rebellion, he would certainly be able to conquer the world, but occupy most of the country.

"Could it be that I am really the destined one?"

When Li Tai thought of this, his hand holding the wine bottle couldn't stop shaking.

If the plot against Zhang Liang was the work of his staff, and his father appointed Li Ke as the governor of Songzhou, it was completely a coincidence.

He didn't expect that his father's appointment would turn out to be beneficial to his rebellion.

Very good!

Just as Li Tai was getting excited, the confused Li Ke suddenly showed ecstasy on his face and stood up to receive the order.

"My son obeys the order!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to his eighth son, King Yue Li Zhen, and gave him an order.

"Zhen'er, I appoint you as the governor of Qizhou and in charge of the military affairs of Qizhou."

"Qizhou is also a prosperous upper state. The year before last, the Qi King plotted rebellion, which prevented the people from farming normally. The people are very resentful. You must govern Qizhou for me!"

Because Prince of Yue Li Zhen was the eighth son of Concubine Yan De, and Li Shimin had recently been very fond of Concubine Yan De, Li Shimin also entrusted this son with important tasks.

Li Zhen, who was over eighteen years old, had grown into a very elegant man. He stood up and saluted with a slightly excited look on his face.

"My son, I obey!"
