"No!" Li Xiu heard that Li Tai was coming to his house at this time, and he was so angry that he slapped the table and refused. The news that Li Tai had just been exposed to the Wude Hall was exposed. He actually came to ask for him to see him. Even with his toes, Li Xiu could guess what he was doing. And as long as he saw him, there would definitely be rumors, so Li Xiu simply gave him no face and refused directly.

"But... King Yue..." The servant who reported the message saw that Li Xiu was so angry and directly refused Li Tai's request for advice, he couldn't help but hesitate. After all, Li Tai was not only a prince, but also Li Xiu's student like Li Chengqian. This was the first time he met Li Xiu's student who was unwilling to see him.

"Go and tell him where he comes from and don't have any thoughts that he shouldn't have!" Li Xiu snorted again at this time. It's true that Li Tai is his student, but compared to Li Chengqian, Li Tai has not come a few times a year. At this time, because Li Xiu mainly focused on science, mainly mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, while Li Tai prefers liberal arts such as poetry, songs and essays, which is not something Li Xiu can teach, so he just comes to listen occasionally.

It is precisely because of this that the teacher-student relationship between Li Xiu and Li Tai is actually very average, far less intimate than other students. Now that Li Tai has just been exposed for moving into Wude Hall, Li Shimin has not made any clear statement yet. As a result, Li Tai has started to jump up and down, which makes Li Xiu feel a little disgusted with him, and naturally he will not be so polite to him.

Seeing Li Xiu's appearance, the servant didn't dare to say anything else. He immediately agreed to turn around and left. When he left, he gently brought the study door with him again, while Li Xiu sat alone behind the desk and sulked.

Originally, Li Xiu was only angry with Li Shimin, but now even Li Tai was angry with him. Speaking of which, although he didn't have much contact with Li Tai, he also watched him grow up since childhood, so he naturally knew the most about Li Tai's temper.

Although Li Tai was one year younger than Li Chengqian and was not the prince, his fame was no less than Li Chengqian. It was mainly because Li Tai was extremely intelligent since childhood and was very good at literature and poetry. This also made him very famous in the scholars and made friends with many knowledgeable scholars in Chang'an City. Li Shimin was also very fond of him. When Li Tai was named King of Yue, his fief reached an astonishing twenty-two states, while Li Ke, who was the same age as him, only eight states. This shows that Li Shimin's partiality towards this son.

Li Xiu also admitted that Li Tai does have a high talent in literature. Although he has high praise from both the people and the court, Li Xiu does not like Li Tai very much because in his opinion, although Li Tai is talented, he is only literary talent in poetry and songs. As for governing the country, he is not good at it, and his personality also has great flaws, such as being too proud.

Speaking of which, as a prince, Li Tai was quite talented and famous since childhood, and he was acquainted with all the knowledgeable scholars. Therefore, he naturally had the capital to be proud, but Li Tai's arrogance was all on his face, and he liked to judge people by his talent. He was not even willing to reason with those who were not as talented as him, but he was willing to give up the gifts for those with talent.

It can be said that Li Tai is completely a scholarly style. Perhaps for a scholar, his arrogance is nothing. After all, as long as he is a scholar, he usually has a bit of arrogance. But if he wants to be an emperor, Li Tai's arrogance is absolutely unbearable. Just imagine how could a person who can't even handle interpersonal relationships well become an emperor who ruled tens of millions of people?

Too proud is just one of Li Tai's most obvious shortcomings. In addition, he is too greedy for pleasure and has no restraint. For example, Li Tai likes delicious food, but ends up eating himself into a fat man, and he has to take a few breaths every few steps. Such physical fitness cannot bear the emperor's heavy government affairs at all.

What is even more worth mentioning is that Li Tai's low emotional intelligence is also very suspicious. Of course, few people may notice it now, but Li Xiu clearly remembers that there was something recorded in history that was that after Li Chengqian abolished the position of crown prince due to rebellion, Li Shimin intended to pass the throne to Li Tai, but was worried that Li Tai would persecute his younger brother, Li Zhi, after Li Tai ascended the throne at that time, only Li Zhi was able to compete for the throne with Li Tai, so he summoned him to the palace for questioning.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this might be Li Shimin's final test for Li Tai, and this test was not difficult. It was nothing more than trying to make Li Tai show his determination. As a result, Li Tai, who was so proud, actually said "killing his son and passing it to his brother", which means that he promised Li Shimin that he would definitely kill his son in the future and pass the throne to Li Zhi.

As the saying goes, "The tiger is poisonous and does not eat his son." In order to get the throne, Li Tai actually said something to kill his son. Such words may only fool some fools. Li Shimin is certainly not a fool, and he is not too confused. If Li Tai is sincere, then he dares to kill his son, let alone Li Zhi, if Li Tai is not sincere, then he cannot believe it. Therefore, Li Shimin immediately gave up the idea of ​​passing the throne to Li Tai. It can be said that Li Tai lost the throne that was within his reach because of one sentence, which is also a strange story forever.

It is precisely because of the above history that Li Xiu has never had a good impression of Li Tai. After all, he is a person who attaches great importance to family. He really can't get close to Li Tai who says "killing his son and passing him on his brother". Moreover, this also reveals Li Tai's low emotional intelligence and cruel nature. If such a person becomes an emperor, it will probably not take long before the Tang Dynasty will produce a Yang Guang.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu became more determined. Although Li Chengqian was disabled, he was countless times stronger than Li Tai. Even Li Zhi was a young Li Zhi better than Li Tai. So if Li Shimin really had the idea of ​​making Li Tai the crown prince, he would definitely be the first to object!

Li Xiu was thinking about his worries in the study. The servant who had just reported the news also rushed to the front hall. He saw Li Tai, who was fat and was sitting here to enjoy tea. Li Tai was only fourteen years old this year, but he was already fat like a mountain of meat. The chair that was originally enough for two people to sit side by side was filled with him, which even made people worry about whether it would get stuck on the chair.

However, Li Tai is fat, but his appearance is not ugly. Even if he doesn't have much flesh on his face, there is indeed such a person. The flesh only grows on his body, but his face does not look fat. Moreover, if you look closely, you can still see a little Li Shimin's style from Li Tai's facial features. No wonder Li Shimin likes this son so much.

Li Tai is also very proud now. Li Shimin told him to keep a low profile when moving into Wude Hall, so there were not many people who knew about it. However, Wei Zheng was exposed in the court today. Although the quarrel was very fierce in the court, Li Tai was very happy. Because after this incident was spread, many people speculated that Li Shimin intended to re-establish the crown prince, and he was naturally the candidate for the new crown prince. This made Li Tai's vanity very satisfying, and the people around him even urged him to walk around to get more support. As a result, Li Xiu thought of Li Xiu the first time.

Although Li Tai has not come to Li Xiu here many times, they are nominal masters and apprentices after all, and Li Xiu is one of the people who can influence his father the most. Whether it is a civil servant or a military general, Li Xiu has a considerable reputation. Therefore, if he can get the support of Li Xiu, he will be more sure of winning the position of crown prince.

Thinking of the above, Li Tai couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face. However, when he thought of Li Xiu, Li Tai thought of Changsun Wuji, who was not inferior to Li Xiu, and his face immediately became gloomy. Speaking of which, although Changsun Wuji was his uncle, because Changsun Wuji has always supported Li Chengqian, Li Tai had no good feelings for his uncle and had no contact with him in normal times. So when he was seeking support, he chose Li Xiu first.

"My little man pays homage to His Highness King Yue!" The servant who had just reported the news rushed over and then saluted Li Tai in the hall.

"Where is sir, why haven't you come?" Li Tai, who was dreaming, was stunned when he saw that only the servant came alone, and then frowned and asked.

"This..." The servant also showed a hesitant expression at this time. After all, Li Xiu's words were a bit too much, and he didn't dare to say it for a while.

"What the hell is going on? Isn't the sir at home?" Li Tai saw the servant stuttering and asked with a serious face again. He had been to the financial management supervisor before coming, but he was killed. Then he asked clearly. He knew that Li Xiu had just chased after him after he got home. It should be impossible for him to lose.

"No, the master has been staying in the study after he came back, but when the villain just reported, Master... Master..." This servant was the manager of the wise guest in Li Xiu's house and had also entertained many prominent officials in the court. Therefore, he also knew that if Li Xiu said what he said, he might offend His Royal Highness the King of Yue to death, so he did not dare to say it.

"What kind of hesitation is, why don't you come to see me?" Li Tai's patience was also worn out at this time, and he asked loudly in anger.

Seeing Li Tai's appearance, Zhike's manager couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and immediately conveyed Li Xiu's words and said, "The master said that you can go back wherever you come from and don't have any thoughts you shouldn't have!"
