After a pause, Li Shimin shook his head and said: "To be honest, my father is powerless. Although he has raised many problems, I don't know how he is going to solve them now. There are many problems that I have no idea about yet." A clue. But, what do you think this is?"
"Aye, even you are not good at it. What do you think I am capable of?" Li Chengqian smiled bitterly, and then said helplessly: "If you think about it, my experience is completely incomparable to yours, even though I have worked hard and studied. , but you can let me be a conservative king, but with Saburo's current policies, I am afraid that Datang will be in a state of rapid reform in the next few decades."
"With your current knowledge, I can't keep up with you at all."
Li Chengqian's words were very sincere. Li Shimin was silent for a moment. He believed this. Not to mention Li Chengqian, he himself didn't believe it. You must know that almost all the ministers in the court came together with Li Shimin, so the relationship between the king and his ministers was not necessary. Say more.
Under such circumstances, Li Shimin felt that he was unable to carry out many things, let alone Li Chengqian?
Many of the things Li Ke put forward are not found in many books. This is why Li Shimin has felt that Li Ke is unusually intelligent for this period of time.
Although he actually only began to show his talents in the 19th year of the Tang Dynasty, if you think carefully about Li Ke's performance before the 19th year of the Tang Dynasty, although he was reckless, was he stupid?
No, he is not stupid, and many of his methods are even prepared for this time.
"The problem is that you are the prince, these things should be your responsibility." Li Shimin frowned.
"Aye, you also said that there is nothing we can't talk about in our father-son conversation today, so I'll just say it bluntly. In the past few days, I have actually been thinking about one question, and that is what I can do."
"I'm not afraid to let my father know that two years ago, my father doted on Li Tai very much, so many of his staff asked him to pay attention to Li Tai's attempt to seize the throne. At that time, he was very panicked." Li Chengqian's tone Very calmly, he was talking about his inner journey.
Li Shimin paused and did not move.
"Actually, my father's way of seizing the throne has somewhat affected my son." Li Chengqian sighed and said it directly.
Li Shimin was silent. Li Chengqian was 8 years old at that time and knew everything. How could he not have any influence? It is said that teaching by example is greater than teaching by words, and parents have a great influence on their children. Li Shimin still understands this.
Why did he do so many things after he came to power, why was he unwilling to commit more crimes, why did he tolerate people like Wei Zheng even if he felt uncomfortable, and even actively encouraged Wei Zheng to do more? Isn't it just to express my position to the world? I, Li Shimin, initiated the Xuanwu Gate rebellion in the first place because I had no choice but to do so.
But I'm not the kind of person who can be cooked by cunning rabbits and dead lackeys.
In fact, Li Shimin did this in his life. The meritorious ministers who followed Li Shimin, unless they committed suicide themselves, were not killed by Li Shimin inexplicably.
How many heroes did Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty kill after he founded the country? Although from the perspective of future generations and from a historical perspective, Liu Bang is said to be shrewd and killed all kings with different surnames, but as people who followed Liu Bang, what did they do wrong?
Going too far, Li Shimin withdrew his thoughts. What he had been trying to do was to fear that his children would fall into this kind of brotherly fratricide, so he had been working hard all his life. Now that Li Chengqian said it, Li Shimin felt a little bit in his heart. Sigh, what he did was still not good enough.
"At that time, why was I afraid that Li Tai would succeed to the throne? It was not that I was nostalgic for the throne, but that I was afraid that after Li Tai came to the throne, I would not be able to live, and neither would my wife and children."
"So I can only be vigilant as those staff said. After all, people are separated from each other, even if they are brothers. But forgive me to say it bluntly, Aye, Sanlang has done everything you can't do well." Li Chengqian smiled. He opened his mouth and said, "In Saburo, I really saw what is called brotherhood. In other words, when some things can be discussed openly, it is better than anything else."
"What people are afraid of is not being able to communicate. There is really too little communication and communication between us. But Saburo did a good job in some aspects. He said whatever he wanted to say to others, even if It was because he had a bad relationship with Li Tai before, but he also treated Li Tai as a brother."
"Father, you should also be able to feel that so far, whether it is Li Tai or some other brothers, the relationship between them has actually become much closer."
"So until now, I can say with certainty that if you give the throne to the current Li Tai, I will not be afraid." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Li Shimin sighed silently, then nodded and said: "What you said is indeed true, but Aye really has no choice. At the beginning of Aye's accession to the throne, it can be described as internal and external troubles. Aye won the throne internally. If it is not right, we must first stabilize the court officials and the powerful families to avoid chaos in the world. There are Eastern Turks outside who are eyeing our Tang Dynasty, and then there will be natural and man-made disasters in successive years."
"It can be said that in the first few years of Zhenguan, Aye was not in the mood to deal with the problems and education of your children. There were too many government affairs to deal with. In those years, Aye didn't have much time to sleep every day, but who let this I had to grab the position myself."
"I'm not afraid to tell you, in fact, Aye sometimes also wonders, if Sanlang is not your brother, but my brother, can Aye be able to be a Xiaoyao Prince with peace of mind now, and there will be no conflict between our brothers. Such a tragic situation. It’s just that some things have no ifs. The matter has come to this, and Aye can only do his best."
"You said that between internal and external troubles, Aye can only deal with foreign troubles first and stabilize internal ones, and naturally ignores you. This is what Aye did wrong."
Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "Aye, this is not your fault. You are incompetent for the country and the people."
Li Shimin smiled and shook his head: "So, this is why I will support Sanlang when he raises some questions, such as how to solve Li Tai's quest for the throne, because Aye really doesn't want to see any of you. Going down the wrong path.”
"I've walked that road, so I know how painful it is, even if I walk out."
Li Chengqian nodded, and then continued: "Yes, Aye, you are right, but this is also another thing that Erchen wants to say today. Erchen wants to give up his position as prince."
