My harem can't be this messy

Chapter 454

"This minister"

"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. Shangguanyi looked at the Holy Majesty and sat down a little nervously.

Your Majesty asked him to evaluate the princes, this is really not good to evaluate!These are all the sons of the Holy Majesty, if you say a wrong word, it will be a big deal.

Although the Holy Majesty said that he would not blame, and the Holy Majesty always listened to good advice when doing things.

However, since the princes were involved, Shangguanyi did not dare to speak nonsense.If you offend His Majesty, even if you don't punish him, it will still upset His Majesty.

At this time, Shangguanyi sat down, took a cup of tea on the table, and took this time to quickly sort out what he should and should not say.

To evaluate the prince, you must also make His Majesty feel that what you said is pertinent. There are many skills in this.In short, it is to avoid the important and ignore the trivial, long-winded speeches that should be said, and one sentence that should not be said.

Shangguanyi started with the crown prince Li Chengqian. He used all kinds of compliments. Speaking of these with his Chinese ink, although Taizong could hear some exaggerated praises, it was still the same sentence. Son, as a father, I am happy.

"Is there nothing wrong with the prince?"

Shangguanyi boasted for a while, but Taizong suddenly asked.

"Of course there is. I think that His Royal Highness sometimes pursues fun too much, and there are always some bad rumors in the palace."

"Male pet!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me for the crime of disrespect."

Shangguanyi quickly got up and knelt down in front of Li Shimin.

"Okay, I have already said that no matter what you say today, I will forgive you for your innocence. There are only you and my ministers here, so don't be cautious."

Shangguanyi wiped her forehead with her hands, and there was already a fine amount of sweat.

"How is King Wei?"

"Returning to His Majesty, the King of Wei is smart and eager to learn, and he is proficient in geography, rivers, mountains and landforms. If His Majesty asks the princes about something, the King of Wei's answer is also able to win His Majesty's heart."

"But he's been messing around more and more recently."

"Your Majesty, I think there are some things, it depends on how you look at them."

"Shangguanyi, you don't have to excuse him. Wrong is wrong and right is right. Xuande Gong Baidicheng Tuogu also said in the past, don't do evil because it is small, and don't do good because it is small. But Virtuous but virtuous, able to submit to others.”

"I'm still a little neglected to discipline him!"

"Your Majesty is busy with government affairs. How is this His Majesty's fault? We, the courtiers, failed to fulfill our duties."

"Okay, let's talk about the other princes."

Shangguanyi naturally told them one by one, for the older ones, it was natural to talk more about their personality, and for the younger ones, it was natural to talk more about their academic personality.

Speaking of Shu Wang Li Yin and Cao Wang Li Ming, Shangguanyi said a few more words, which is naturally because these two princes have changed the most this year.

Among them, the king of Shu is especially obvious. He has not been doing so much nonsense recently, and he often enters the palace to accompany Concubine Yang and do some serious things. Although it is his daughter's clothes, it is better than the old friends who used to bring slaves to do evil and make trouble everywhere. too much.

And Cao Wang Li Ming's personality is withdrawn and he is not good at communicating with others, so he can talk to his birth mother, Princess Nest.

But at this time, not only did she often play around with the princes and princesses in the palace, her daily homework was also much better than before, and her withdrawn temperament had obviously changed a lot.

"Shu Wang and Cao Wang are really good recently, and Ji Wang and Zhao Wang are also good."

The two monarchs and ministers smiled at each other, all these changes were due to one person, and when Shangguanyi said that His Majesty's sons, he just commented on all the princes, except King Jin.

"Shangguanyi, what do you think of King Jin?"

"Since His Royal Highness King Jin suffered a serious illness this year, I thought that His Highness may have experienced this serious illness, but he has become much more mature and stable."

"Your Majesty knows all about what His Highness has done, so I won't say much, but only two small things that I know about."

"Shangguan Aiqing, tell me."

"When King Jin recovered from his illness this year, he lived in the Wanchun Palace. The maids Xia He and Chuntao were by his side to take care of them. These two maids often came to Hongwen Pavilion and the History Museum to borrow books. I met him several times."

"Lent it to King Jin?"

"Except for Your Highness, there will be no one else. Your Highness is eager to learn, and I deeply admire it."

Taizong nodded. Hearing Shangguanyi's words, he felt the same way.

Zhi'er is eager to learn, but his father can't see it, and his son is eager to learn, not only in literature, but also in martial arts.

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 recovered from his illness.

Li Shimin is really gratified to have a son who is all-rounder in civil and military affairs.

"Shangguan Aiqing said only two things, the second thing?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the second thing I saw in Hongwen Pavilion today. At that time, Zhao Wang Cao Wang and the little princess were chasing the silver fox outside. Jin Wang saw it and reminded him to be careful. The love between brothers and sisters When I saw the situation, I also remembered the past time."

"Zhi'er is indeed a brother-sister relationship, and it has always been a love affair."

At this time, Li Shimin's hand knocked lightly on the table a few times unconsciously.

A few days ago, he also heard about the story that Princess Changle and Princess Yuzhang stayed in the Jin Palace, and that Princess Changle and King Jin shared a room and a bed. At that time, he also thought about it a little bit.

I asked the queen specifically, and the queen only said that Zhi'er often did this and slept with her, so Li Shimin didn't pursue it much. Hearing Shang Guanyi's words at this time, he felt that he shouldn't think too much about it.

Didn't my son get close to his sisters and brothers since he was a child? Could it be that he would do something out of the ordinary to accompany his sister?

"Is there nothing wrong with King Jin?"

"Yes, I think there are too many women around His Highness."

"Haha, my son follows me in temperament, but I feel that his ability is not as good as him. This trip to Xingyang, I insisted on bringing back the two daughters of the Zheng family in Xingyang."

"Shangguan Aiqing, do you know how Zhi'er told his mother about this?"

"Of course this minister doesn't know."

"He told his mother that he had brought back two older sisters from Zheng's house."

"His Royal Highness may still appear young at times, so he will play around a bit."

"I like him to be so nonsense."

The emperor and his ministers stopped talking, maybe Li Shimin had some interest at this time, and asked someone to prepare a jar of wine.

It is very common for Tang people to drink alcohol, especially at this time of winter, which is the best time for drinking.

The monarch and his ministers drank together, and Li Shimin asked Shangguanyi a word through the wine, but Shangguanyi didn't dare to say a word for a long time.

What your Majesty asked was whether the position of crown prince should be assumed by a person who has both ability and political integrity and handles everything well.

Naturally, Shangguanyi didn't dare to say much on this issue, and could only remain silent. He could tell that His Majesty had already moved to change the crown prince.
