A few days later, King Li Tai of Wei left Chang'an in a low-key manner and rushed to the southwest. None of his disciples and officials of Suli came to see him off. Chang'an was so big that even if the emperor did not report the news of the assassination of the prince, he could not hide it from others.

Everyone knows that Li Tai has lost power, so he is eager to clear his relationship with him. Seeing this, Li Tai showed a sarcastic smile on his lips, sat in the carriage, playing with the gift Xuanxuan gave him, and his heart was mixed.

Emperor Li Er stood alone at the door of the Political Affairs Hall. The cold wind blew his dragon robe, but he did not move at all.

After a long time, the eunuch Gao returned: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the King of Wei has already left Chang'an. Princess Du brought Princess Changle and the little princess to see him off in person. None of the other civil and military officials were present."

"I understand, please step down."

Li Er waved his voice back from Lao Gao and murmured: "All civil and military officials? They want to separate themselves from you. At this time, only family members can go farewell. The fourth brother, I hope everything you said the day before yesterday is true."

Speaking of this, a hint of regret surged in Li Er's eyes and a fantasy in his heart that if his mother was still there, perhaps the brothers would not have been fratricidal to each other later.

A few days ago, when Empress Changsun was educating her son in Lizheng Hall, the emperor stood outside the hall from beginning to end and listened, so he couldn't help but envy his sons now, who were still under the care of his own mother.

In the Du family mansion, Xiao Xuanxuan asked Du Shaoqing: "Dad, do you think the fourth uncle likes the gift I gave him?"

Du Shaoqing complained: "You are so embarrassed to mention this? You give me a gift and let your father do my job? In order to carve you and the big cat, your father and I have been grinding blood and blisters.

Even if your fourth uncle likes it, it is your father’s credit.”

Xiao Xuanxuan pouted her mouth and said without any retort: ​​"No, my fourth uncle can think of me and Xiao Miaomiao when he sees the wood sculpture. He will definitely like it.

Dad is so stingy. He has already applied the golden sore medicine to you with his own hands. If I hadn't been a young man, I would have made a gift to my fourth uncle."

Princess Changle next to him said, "That's right, isn't it just doing some work? As for being so aggrieved? Could it be that your genius was grinding blood blisters when you looked at your daughter's little hands?"

OK, okay, you two say a lot, will I admit defeat?

Du Shaoqing immediately begged for mercy, feeling extremely sad, complaining that since he had a child, his status at home has plummeted. In addition to his youngest son who can't speak, he has the lowest status.

At this moment, the little Du Zhong in the princess's arms started to cry for some reason.

"It's the child who peed, please go and change it with the diapers quickly." The princess said.

Du Shaoqing ran very quickly and was familiar with the road.

Xiao Xuanxuan looked at her father's back, covered her mouth and smiled sly: "Mom, Dad seems to be wrong. It seems that his younger brother's status is higher than his at home. He has to wipe his butt."

Puff... After hearing this, the princess laughed and bent over, right?

"Don't say that quickly. How sad it would be to let your father hear it." The princess quipped.

Xiao Xuanxuan nodded quickly, then said in confusion: "Strange, why does Dad look like he is okay? His hands should be itchy at this time."

"Itchy? Why? Why is itchy?" Princess Changle was puzzled.

"Didn't I apply medicine to him? I added some itchy powder written in our medical book. Did I make a mistake when I made it, why didn't it work?" The girl frowned and puzzled.

How do you...

Just as he was about to scold his daughter, he burst into laughter again. Princess Changle had already thought of the reason.

"You kid is really a mess. How can you test your dad's medicine?

Besides, how long have you been studying medicine? Your father is the best in the world, and he can't tell that you are taking medicine? It must be that he was hiding it from you."

Xiao Xuanxuan was disappointed, "Ah? Is that right? Then, as my mother said so, wouldn't it be difficult to tease my father?"

Well, it's very difficult! The princess nodded with certainty.

But seeing her daughter's disappointed look, afraid of damaging her confidence, the princess said again: "You don't have to be discouraged. Haven't you been following them to study medicine? If one day you can really tease your father, then the number one in the world will be yours.

Beyond your father and become the world's number one miracle doctor, that's really, really amazing. I'm not as good as you, your mother."

The little girl's eyes lit up, her heart regained confidence, she clenched her fists and whispered: "Yeah, I will definitely study hard and I will poison my father in the future."

Well, huh? What, what poison?

The princess was stunned for a moment, looking at her excited daughter, and felt that the style was wrong. Didn’t it be a prank? Poisonous? God, this child wouldn’t be stupid, if you really use poison to kill your father, it would be a disaster.

After the princess’s advice over and over again, Xiao Xuanxuan finally vowed to promise that she would never use deadly poison to her father.

But, is it over if it is not fatal? Not necessarily, some poisons make people more painful than death.

I guess if Du Shaoqing knew that his wife and daughter had arranged for him like this, they would probably have vomited blood and died of anger.

A few months later, in the Governor's Office in the southwest Tubo Road, Li Tai and his party finally met the Crown Prince Li Chengqian after a difficult journey.

Li Tai almost lost his life on the road due to altitude sickness. He finally lost all the way, which caused Li Chengqian to almost recognize him at first sight.

"My memory, Li Tai has met His Highness the Crown Prince." Li Tai saluted respectfully.

Li Chengqian, who had a rough and dark skin, stepped forward and grabbed the other party, "Fourth brother, is it really you? Why are you here? Why do you have to be so distracted? Just call me elder brother."

Hum? This...

Li Tai was slightly stunned. This tone and style of painting were only felt in my memory when my young brothers grew up in the Qin Palace. After more than ten years, can I still see you again? It feels a bit unreal.

"Crown Prince Palace, brother, I heard that you were poisoned and assassinated here and almost lost your life, so my father sent me to go back for you."

"How come this happens? Why didn't the imperial court send a document?

By the way, can the fourth brother know what happened to Brother Dahu? But he is still alive? If it weren't for him, you and my brother would have really separated yin and yang.

So I will never go back to this Tubo. I had only benefited the people here before. Now there is another one, that is, to find out the real culprit and avenge the Big Tiger brothers." Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said firmly.

After a short recognition, Li Tai felt that the person in front of him seemed to have changed his own person, which was a little different from the eldest brother of the prince in his previous memory. Is it really him?

"How? Why do I look at Brother Wei like this?" Li Chengqian said in confusion.

"It's nothing, I just think that the prince's eldest brother seems to be different from before."

Li Chengqian smiled cheerfully, with a black face showing white teeth, which seemed a little funny, "I used to be the eldest brother, I was frivolous and didn't do it well in my youth, so I won't know how to do it anymore."

After talking for a long time, we were still standing like this. Come and sit down and say, I haven’t seen my family for almost three years. I really want to be a brother.”

"Wait, my family's carriage and horse..."

"What? My fourth brother is still bringing his family? Why didn't you say it earlier?

The person who came quickly arranged the fourth brother's entourage, and the family would be placed in the governor's office and later asked someone to prepare a family banquet." Li Chengqian ordered everything and took Li Tai to have tea and chat.

Li Tai was confused all the way, and his mind was almost out of reach. I remember that my elder brother used to do business or go out and spoke very etiquette. Why did he shout at the top of his voice?

"Since the fourth brother also knows about the poisonous assassination, do you know what happened to the Big Tiger brother who blocked me?" Li Chengqian asked again.

"He's fine, fortunately your guard sent it back in time. My brother-in-law said that if you delay a few more days, you will be unable to make a comeback.

However, this time he was poisoned, his vitality was severely damaged, and his skin and bones were very miserable, and he had to recover from at least half a year."

Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, my brother-in-law is skilled in medical treatment. If the Dahu brother died of poisoning, he would feel guilty for his brother for the rest of his life."

"My brother-in-law said that although he was rescued this time, the big tiger has at least ten years of life, and his body will be weak all year round, so he stayed in Chang'an and could no longer be with his elder brother in the future."

What??

Ten years of life?

Li Chengqian exclaimed, his expression was sad, and he was not like a false statement. Li Tai was unfamiliar with his intentions. Isn’t it the best to live?

"It's okay, it's my intention to stay in Chang'an. I've died for me once. I'll let him go to the danger with me."

Li Tai turned to the official business, "This time, my father gave the death order and sent me to come and take over my elder brother. So in the past few days, you and I will hand over the matter. I will take charge of this place. My elder brother will immediately return to Chang'an without delay."

"I said that if I don't go back if I have a five-year appointment, I won't go back. So many things have happened now, and I can't go back in such an unclear way.

Fourth brother, don’t persuade me, I will write to my father, just pretend you have been out for a trip this time.” Li Chengqian said in a deep voice.

"You are the crown prince. You are not in accordance with the rules when you are outside for many years. Sitting in Chang'an to look after Gu Dabao is the right way. This is your responsibility. My mother asked me to bring you a message and stop being irritated. She doesn't want people with white hair to send people with black hair." Li Tai stood up and said loudly.

Queen Mother?

Li Chengqian was stunned. Looking at the tears in his eyes of his fourth brother, he remembered his mother in Chang'an City, and it was fake to say that he didn't miss him.

Li Tai said sincerely: "This time it is the will of the father. Not only the mother supports it, but also the brother-in-law supports it. Don't stick to it. The five-year agreement has been almost three years. Everyone has seen your achievements, which is enough to prove yourself."

"No, after staying in Tubo for a long time, I have long forgotten my original aspirational wish. Now I am not thinking about proving myself, but just wanting to make the people here eat and wear warmth as soon as possible, that's all." Li Chengqian said with a pure look on his face.

At this moment, Li Tai seemed to understand, and understood where the real changes of the person in front of him were. He had completely let go of the prince of a country, and his heart was placed on the lowest-ranking common people.

"But you also have to remember that you are not just a vassal king in Tubo, but you are the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. In the future, you will be the one who will rule the world. You should have the people of the whole world in your heart, not just on this plateau."

This sentence was completely blurted out by Li Tai indignation. When he recalled today's scene later, he couldn't explain why he shouted these words.

Li Chengqian was shocked and was knocked heavily by his younger brother's words. He hesitated for a moment and asked curiously: "If you can't cure the whole country, how can you cure the whole country? This is what I said when I asked to come here, and I have not changed it yet.

The fourth brother has a far superior talent and pattern to be a brother. I am willing to write a letter to you as the crown prince.”

"I?

Don't harm me, I have no intention of being the crown prince." Li Tai came to his senses and refused sternly.

"Why are you so afraid of me? You are really sincere in your brother. The more you work here, the more you feel that you are not capable enough and lack a lot. Not to mention the king of a country, even the crown prince cannot do well." Li Chengqian explained.

But no matter what he said, Li Tai ignored it at all and became anxious. Li Tai blushed and said, "Brother, don't you see why your father sent me, the King of Wei, to Tubo? Instead of asking me to be the official of the fiefdom?"

Forehead……

Li Chengqian was interrupted and his expression stuttered, "This, yes, if there are countless capable people in the court who governed me just for my safety, why do you have to endure hardships? Could it be... the father is punishing you?"

Li Tai sneered: "I guess my brother has guessed it."

Li Chengqian's face turned red and he immediately shouted: "This is impossible!"
