Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

In fact, Li Shimin's idea was very simple: while he was still alive, he could resolve the feud between the three brothers Li Shen.

He has been through this before, and he doesn't want his son to follow in his footsteps.

Li Shimin had a total of fourteen sons, three of whom died in infancy, leaving only eleven sons.

There are six sons around him. In addition to the four Li Shen, there is also the thirteenth son of King Zhao Li Fu, the governor of Qinzhou, who was adopted by Prince Yin Li Jiancheng.

The fourteenth son of King Cao Li Ming, the governor of Caozhou, was adopted by King Chao Li Yuanji.

These two princes plus the prince, King Wei, King Jin, and King Ji, six princes stayed in Chang'an City.

Others have been released from the domain.

Li Fu and Li Ming have adopted each other, so Li Shimin is not that close. Only the four princes are under his knees.

In the past two years, Li Shimin has been in a state of semi-retirement, enjoying family happiness. His ideas have changed and he attaches great importance to family ties.

He knew that King Li Tai of Wei, King Li Zhi of Jin, and King Li Shen of Ji had great hatred, but they were able to restrain themselves when he was there.

He is afraid that one day he will no longer be there...

His youngest son is now very powerful. Although he has no real power in the court, he does not dare to underestimate him.

The two legitimate sons were no match at all.

Outsiders thought that King Ji was just doing evil and being a playboy.

But he knew best, this child was small-minded, heartless, and cruel.

By that time, the crown prince's succession may not necessarily be able to protect his two younger brothers.

Li Chengqian also understood what his father meant, and he understood his father's difficulties in his heart.

He could imagine how much headache Lao Shi would give him after he succeeded to the throne.

If he doesn't make big mistakes and keeps making small mistakes, even his father can't control him, let alone himself. When the time comes, he won't let himself go.

"Aye, although this is the case, I don't think it will have any effect.

Whether it can be resolved depends on the thoughts of Qingque and Pheasant Nu.

In fact, the tenth brother didn't want to make a grudge. When the tenth brother beat the pheasant slave, it was impulsive, but it was excusable.

If it were anyone else, the tenth brother would never show mercy.

In order to eradicate the private army of Pheasant Slaves, Lao Shi did not hesitate to use his whole body as a bait to eradicate the roots. He was so cruel to himself, let alone others. "

Li Chengqian saw clearly that Lao Shi just wanted freedom and could do whatever he wanted without restraint.

"Well, whether it works or not depends on fate. I have done what I can.

Gao Ming, I have been working hard for twenty-two years and want to do something for the people of Tang Dynasty.

Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, with no worries about food and clothing.

I secretly sent people to visit various places. In the past ten years, the people of Tang Dynasty have lived better and better lives.

Even if there is a disaster every year, the people will not be displaced as before.

Now the Tang Dynasty has strong foreign troops and horses, is attached to it from all over the world, and all nations come to court.

In addition to the imperial court's actions, do you know what else is the reason for all this? "

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with deep eyes and asked.

"Is it because of my tenth brother?" Li Chengqian asked uncertainly.

"That's right! It's because of Lao Shi.

From the time I ascended the throne in the ninth year of Wude to the tenth year of Zhenguan, although the imperial court also made great achievements in these ten years,

But the development is very slow. I have been working hard, but the aristocratic family dominates.

There are many things I want to do but cannot.

The tenth year of Zhenguan was also the beginning of Lao Shi's rise. He fought against the aristocratic nobles alone. It took him twelve years and slowly chipped away bit by bit to achieve the current Qingming Dynasty in the court.

He gave merchants a fair trading environment, which allowed the people to have extra income and live a prosperous life.

In the past, people even committed suicide in order to escape from conscription, but now people can pay for conscription, and paying taxes is not as difficult as before.

In addition, the number of scholars has increased several times in recent years, and bridges and roads have been built everywhere.

In the past twelve years, Lao Shi has completed my decades-long plan.

So Gao Ming, Lao Shi is very important. After you succeed to the throne, as long as he doesn't make a huge mistake, you must keep Lao Shi. "

Li Shimin talked a lot today, and he wanted to tell Li Chengqian what he was thinking.

Li Shen played a great role in the Tang Dynasty. Whether it was out of family affection or interests, he had to keep Li Shen.

Li Shen is only twenty years old now, and there are still decades to come. In these decades, he can do a lot for Datang.

This is all for the sake of the Li family.

"Aye, I understand. Don't worry, Aye. The tenth brother has helped me a lot over the years. I won't make random suspicions. I will definitely keep the old tenth brother."

Li Chengqian replied solemnly.

Li Shimin stood up, patted Li Chengqian's shoulder, then turned to the guardrail and looked at Nanhai Pool.

After a long time he said:

"Gao Ming, don't think that now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the troops and horses are strong, you can take it lightly.

Those who want to destroy the Tang Dynasty have never given up, and there are countless people who want to destroy the Li family.

The common people are the cornerstone of my Li family.

Li Shen once said to me, no matter how good we do, we will never satisfy everyone in the world.

We just need to be fair and satisfy the majority of people, and this majority of people must also include the common people.

Treat the country, nation, and individuals as a community with a shared future, and closely link national interests, national interests, and everyone's specific interests.

The old will be able to die, the strong will be useful, the young will be able to grow, and the widowed, widowed, lonely and disabled will all be provided for.

I believe that if we do this, even if someone wants to overthrow me, Li Tang, the people will not follow. "

"The old will die, the strong will be useful, the young will grow, and the widowed, widowed, lonely and disabled will all be provided for." Li Chengqian repeated this sentence in a murmur.

This sentence comes from "Book of Rites".

Li Chengqian had read it a long time ago, but now that his father told it, he had a profound understanding.

"Thank you Aye for your teaching." Li Chengqian bowed deeply.

He has presided over the government for so long that he already understands why his father treated him like that.

He now treats his legitimate son Li Jue even more harshly. Although he has not yet been crowned the crown prince, as his eldest son, he is already the candidate for the next crown prince.

"Li Ke and Li Min have returned to Beijing to express their condolences in the past two days. Just make arrangements for them. After Queen Min is buried, ask them to return to their fiefdom."

Li Shimin looked a little tired, whether it was physically or mentally.

Li Chengqian immediately accepted the order, then stood up and saluted:

"Aye, there's nothing to do. Please excuse me."

"Well, go ahead and don't overwork yourself. I don't want to get sick."

Li Shimin nodded and instructed.

Li Chengqian bowed again and was led out by the eunuch.

On the second day, several fast horses came galloping from the east of Chang'an City, from far to near, and soon stopped in front of Chunming Gate.

The two leaders looked up at the gate tower of Chang'an City, with nostalgia on their faces.

"Third brother, we are finally here." A young man said.

"Yeah, I'm finally back."
