Come back from Kunning Palace.
Li Chengqian was sitting in the study. Although he was holding a book in his hand, his eyes were blank. Anyone could tell that his attention was not on the book at all.
Seeing this, the little Chuzi on the side couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
"Didn't you say that today you massacred everyone in the court? Not only did His Majesty adopt your suggestion, but he also scolded Yao Jian and those people bloody?"
"But you look like you're not happy at all?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian also came to his senses.
He couldn't help but look up and sighed: "I'm really happy that the business is done."
"But my father told me something else."
Apart from other things, his emperor is really pushing him harder and harder.
And what he said made Li Chengqian feel even more uncomfortable.
It was as if I had failed my ancestors and the people if I did not give him ten or eight grandsons.
"What's wrong with me just not wanting to have children?"
"What's wrong with me just not wanting to be a father so early?"
"Is it really my fault?"
Li Chengqian was really helpless about this.
But the little Chuzi laughed after hearing this.
He shook his head and said: "It's not your fault, but the prince's fault."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian also looked puzzled: "Am I not the prince?"
"Yes, you are the prince."
"But if you throw away your status as a prince, you are still the husband of ladies and the master of slaves."
Xiao Chuzi said with a smile: "And after throwing away these identities, you are also Li Chengqian."
Li Chengqian is different from the prince.
Li Chengqian can recklessly get into trouble, cause trouble, and even go around playing haphazardly.
But the prince is different. The prince needs to think about the country and the country, so he has to throw away his freedom.
As for having children, it seems to be the prince's own business. If he wants to have children, he can have children, and if he doesn't want to have children, he can't.
But in fact, the relationship here is very complicated.
Xiao Chuzi understood, and so did Li Chengqian.
However, Li Chengqian has always ignored this point.
"The prince is the crown prince of a country, and he must hold the world against him no matter what."
"Carrying on the family line will naturally provide everyone with a guarantee and give ministers peace of mind."
Xiao Chuzi looked at Li Chengqian and said, "And it's not me, a slave, who is talking about you. You have been married for four years."
"I'm always away from home, spending less time with my ladies and more time away from each other."
"Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about your ladies."
"Their family all wants to rely on their ladies to achieve success."
"And because of your selfishness, how much pressure and criticism they have to endure..."
Those who know understand that Li Chengqian does not have children simply because he is not ready to be a father yet.
But what about those who don’t know?
Will you think of other aspects?
These are all things that need to be considered. Li Chengqian is not afraid of folk rumors, but that does not mean that others are not afraid.
After hearing what Xiao Chuzi said, Li Chengqian couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"Oh, you're right."
"but……"
Li Chengqian suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Chuzi and said, "When did you become so wise?"
Earlier, when in front of Li Chengqian, Xiao Chuzi had always looked stupid, and it was rare for him to stand up and make suggestions for Li Chengqian.
And what happened today?
Why does this guy look like a different person?
And Xiaochuzi obviously realized something.
At that moment, he showed a mean face and said: "Your Highness, don't I want to share your worries?"
"Come on, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you."
"You guys are still like this after all these years."
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "I've been hiding this from me."
Indeed, the little Chuzi has hidden a lot these years.
If he hadn't been forced to do so that time, Li Chengqian might not even have known about this guy's martial arts skills.
After all, who would have thought that a guy who acts like a cheap man all day long could be a martial arts master?
After hearing this, Xiao Chuzi pursed his lips and said: "Actually, I don't want to hide it, it's just because of the situation."
"But don't worry, Your Highness, when the time comes for certain slaves to come forward, I will definitely come forward."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian just shook his head: "You can stand up if you want to. If you don't want to, I won't force you."
"However, what you said makes sense."
"I am indeed a bit too selfish..."
Li Chengqian pursed his lips, then stood up slowly, looked up at the sky and said, "It's time to have a few children..."
Hearing this, Xiao Chuzi's face showed a hint of joy, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Finally, this guy changed his mind and he was able to deal with his father.
…
Talk about both ends.
Whether it is to assess military generals across the country or to completely change the current government army system to a recruitment system, these are no small matters.
After all, the current political formation has existed for hundreds of years.
Now that there is a sudden change, everyone will feel uncomfortable.
This is true for officials in the court, and even more so for ordinary people.
And this makes the resistance to this reform unprecedentedly huge.
Military generals from all over the country signed a letter to Li Shimin to explain the loopholes in the reform.
Even the Liangzhou Army, which was most loyal to Li Chengqian, stood up against Li Chengqian at this moment.
Of course, this was not just opposition to change. After all, Li Chengqian had already implemented a military recruitment system in Liangzhou before.
Although the effect was not very good, it gave everyone a clear idea and they would not object after all.
And now the reason why the Liangzhou Army came forward was simply to express dissatisfaction before Li Chengqian chose to let Li Ke reappear in everyone's sight.
Inside the Manna Hall.
Li Shimin looked straight at Li Chengqian and said, "Didn't you say you were ready?"
"What's going on now?"
“There are mountains of co-signed books from all over the place.”
Li Shimin said directly to Li Chengqian: "If you have any plans, you'd better discuss it with me as soon as possible."
"If not, when trouble occurs, you can clean it up yourself."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian sighed softly,
He could understand why Li Shimin was so flustered at the moment.
When dealing with the aristocratic family before, no matter what kind of pressure he faced, Li Shimin did not panic for the same reason.
It was because he knew that eradicating the aristocratic family would be good for consolidating imperial power and consolidating the rule of the imperial court.
But what could be the reason why we are so nervous about recruiting troops and laying off generals across the country? Isn’t it that he himself has no confidence in Li Chengqian’s decision?
Li Chengqian said straight to Li Shimin: "Actually, the more this happens, the more drastic reforms my father should make."
"If you don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about these generals."
"Yes, they all fought out of Jinyang with their father."
"But Father, they are your generals, and they must obey your orders."
"Now your orders have been given and they are not obeying them."
"how?"
Li Chengqian looked straight at Li Shimin and said, "Is this what is called, when you are away, you will not accept your orders?"
