Li Tai was thinking about himself there, and Li Ke waited until he had almost finished his thoughts, then reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and then began to plant another thought in him: "Okay, stop thinking about it. If you want to be Just take it as it is, to be honest, in my opinion, it’s just how much you and your eldest brother think about it. Look at me, I have never thought about being the emperor. Do you think the third brother has no support?"
"Ah?" Li Tai was a little confused.
"I'm not afraid to tell you. Take a look at Third Brother's Datang Weekly. Third Brother's reputation among the people of Chang'an City. Third Brother's reputation among the soldiers. If Third Brother wants to be the emperor, Third Brother actually has a chance. If nothing else, it’s true that my third brother is of former Sui bloodline, but there are also many former Sui ministers among the courtiers!”
"And those aristocratic families, do you think there are any who support the third brother? You know that there is a mall where all the five surnames and seven kings have applied for gold membership, five hundred thousand yuan, what do you think they are doing? After the money is processed, they will basically I haven’t made any purchases, are they here to sign up for membership? They are here to give me money.”
"Do you think if I want them to support me, will they support me?" Li Ke said with a smile.
Li Tai was stunned. He thought about it carefully... The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what the third brother said was true, because he wouldn't know if he didn't think about it carefully. The more he thought about it carefully, the more he felt that what the third brother said made sense and that the third brother really had a chance. , but the third brother... took the initiative to offend a wealthy family and even the ministers of the court. Obviously the third brother didn't care about the throne.
No... Li Tai was a little confused when he thought of this. Doesn't everyone want this throne? Why don't you want it?
"Why?" Li Tai was really confused now. Why don't any of you want to be the emperor?
"Hey, why is this? If you want to be, you can be the one. We brothers are different. If you want to be the emperor, then you can be the emperor. Anyway, the third brother doesn't want to be, and the eldest brother doesn't want to be either." Li Ke said with a smile. , You must not say anything to him at this time. You must not say anything about how tiring it is to be an emperor and how cool it is to be a prince.
Li Tairen was a little stupid. He now felt that what happened today was too surprising. Everything was completely beyond his expectation. If he had known about this earlier, all his previous calculations would have been in vain. ?
"Okay, okay, this matter is settled. In this way, you go to your father and tell him that you want to be the emperor. My eldest brother also agrees. Some time ago, I heard my father said that he was a little tired at the end of the year. If you want your elder brother to handle political affairs, that's fine, you can handle it directly." Li Ke said simply.
ah? Isn't this too fast? Li Tairen was so stupid that he was already running to deal with political affairs? Especially when he wanted to see Li Shimin, Li Tai couldn't help but shrink his neck when he told Li Shimin about this. He was afraid of his father.
"This third brother, isn't it good? It's too fast." Li Tai said timidly.
"Look, what are you afraid of? In this case, third brother will take you there and I will say it for you." Li Ke patted his chest and stopped the matter directly.
"Huh?" Li Tai was stunned for a moment. He was just wondering whether Third Brother and the others wanted him to take the initiative to find his father, and then let his father have thoughts about him... But as soon as this idea came to him, Li Tai Ke took over the matter directly.
If the third brother said this, then obviously the third brother and the eldest brother would be sincere.
"Isn't this too fast?" Li Tai was still a little confused. He was shrinking a little now. If he just went like this, he seemed a little sorry for his elder brother? "Besides, this is too unfair to my eldest brother."
As Li Tai said this, he scratched his head in embarrassment. Moreover, the third brother and the eldest brother were too quick. It always felt like they couldn't wait to get rid of the throne, as if it was some kind of hot potato.
Why? Li Ke glanced at Li Tai and said, "Fourth Brother, you can't do this. Why do you start to think about retreating so easily?" What are you thinking about?
"What's fair or unfair? Brother doesn't want to be fooled. If you want to be fooled, it's up to you! It's settled! I'll take you there in a few days!" Li Ke decided without any explanation, "By the way, Third Brother is here. Let me tell you a few words from a brother’s perspective.”
"Third brother, tell me." Li Tai said quickly. At this moment, he firmly believed in Li Ke's words.
"You will be the emperor in the future. Let me tell you, you must remember one sentence. You must have your own ideas. Don't listen to what any advisers or staff around you tell you. idea."
"This is Third Brother's advice. They can give you advice, and you can make decisions when they put forward their opinions. But for some things they advise you, you must have your own ideas and think outside of this framework. Do these ministers have their own interests in the end?"
"Remember, you must not be brainwashed by these people! Throughout history, many emperors and princes were brainwashed by these staff, which eventually led to the country's corruption or irreversible things."
"This is the conclusion that Third Brother came to after fighting against the aristocratic families. These aristocratic families are so terrible. They can easily brainwash you through various methods and make you side with them. You have to remember that when you sit down After you get to that position, you are the emperor, you are the only one, and the aristocratic families are not with you! Do you understand? Otherwise, why do you think my father would try every means to weaken these aristocratic families?" Li Ke said with a serious face.
Li Tai's face also became serious. After listening, Li Tai immediately thought of the many staff in his house. Those people often hinted him openly and secretly to let him fight for the throne, not just for themselves. family?
Li Tai suddenly realized that he suddenly understood many things. After being prompted by his third brother, he suddenly understood too much.
After all, the third brother and the eldest brother didn't even want the throne and gave it to him. Obviously, the third brother and the eldest brother are the ones who really stand with him. What the third brother said is so right. Those people are doing it for their respective families. They Whatever I say in the future will probably have ulterior motives, so I have to be more considerate.
The third brother is right. They can make suggestions, but they have to think clearly about the real beneficiaries. Otherwise, why would the father want to weaken the powerful family? If you want to be the emperor, then some of your father's practices are certainly worth learning.
Seeing Li Tai starting to think, Li Ke nodded slightly. Li Tai was actually very smart. Li Tai also had some political achievements in history. Well, as long as he started thinking, it meant that Li Ke had given him the first chance. Washing... first planted the seeds of anti-brainwashing, or in other words, Li Ke was actually setting an agenda for Li Tai.
It is to set an agenda in advance for the staff in Li Tai's house, that is, those staff have ulterior motives, for their own benefit! After setting this agenda, once Li Tai thinks about it, he will continue to deepen this impression on himself, and then form a stereotype about those staff and people who say similar things.
Then he will subconsciously feel disgusted in his heart, thinking that what they say is false and untrustworthy.
It is difficult for these people to reverse the agenda set by Li Ke, because from a certain perspective, the agenda set by Li Ke for them is the truth! Those people have ulterior motives!
Moreover, the premise for Li Ke's agenda is that the throne can be given to Li Tai. Based on this premise, who else can give something more important than this?
The eldest brother and the third brother don’t even want the throne, so what they say must be true! This is Li Tai's subconscious thought at the moment.
It's just that Li Ke's purpose is to prevent Li Tai from trusting them and to prevent Li Ke's brainwashing of Li Tai from being weakened by them. When Li Ke does this, when those people and staff say similar things to Li Tai, On the contrary, it will have the opposite effect. Saying it again made Li Tai distrust them even more.
After deepening this impression, Li Ke knew that today's weight was enough and it was time to proceed to the next step. The rest would be discussed in the next few days.
Li Ke quietly winked at Liu Hong who was standing in the distance. Liu Hong left here quietly. Soon, Tian Meng walked in "in a hurry".
"Your Highness, I have something to report." Tian Meng said.
Tian Meng's words woke up Li Tai who was in the process of self-suggestion and self-strategy. He raised his head and looked over.
"What are you afraid of? This is my fourth brother, tell me." Li Ke said nonchalantly.
"Your Highness, we have successfully purchased the land in the Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty." Tian Meng glanced at Li Tai and said.
"Oh, that's good. We've got the planned talents. I'll go find my elder brother in a few days, and then we'll do this together." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Yes!" Tian Meng bent over and left.
"The Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty? What is that?" Li Tai was filled with curiosity. What did the third brother and the eldest brother do? The city that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty? Sounds like fun.
"It's nothing, it's just a plan." Li Ke waved his hand.
"Third brother, you just said that I am your fourth brother. Didn't you deliberately hide it from me?" Li Tai also felt that he was very close to the third brother now, and there was no barrier anymore, so it was natural for him to speak the same way A lot more casual.
"Okay, okay, let me tell you, it's actually very simple. I plan to build a new city in the west of Chang'an City, between Chang'an City and the Datang Welfare Industrial Park I established before, not far from my Prince Qin's Palace. , the area is not that big, and there will be all kinds of fun things in it, such as the storytelling tavern I built, the cross talk I invented, brothels, hook bars, etc. The most important thing is, hey, there is no curfew in this place !”
"Everyone can play in various ways at night, so I named it Datang Evernight City. Because it is not in Chang'an, there is no curfew. Anyone who wants to play at night can come here." Li Ke said proudly.
Li Tai's eyes lit up when he heard this.
