They have heard about Li Ke's style of speaking and doing things for a long time, and they have even seen many of them! After all, many of His Highness King Qin’s actions have been done for so many years.
But today's remarks in the Ancestral Temple still shocked them all.
They were all excited to follow His Highness King Qin, and many of the younger ones even shouted out that they were going to resign.
But other people need to be more considerate, such as people like Li Yuanchang.
Li Ke watched silently. After the people below calmed down for dozens of seconds, Li Ke said calmly: "So, I have said it before, as a clan, have you thought about it?"
"You are willing to give up all the welfare benefits at your fingertips, start from scratch, and show the value of your life. In the future, you will tell the ancestors in this temple your courage, your achievements, and your determination to be glorious even if you fail."
"Should I go back and inherit the title, enjoy all the benefits and honors entrusted to you by the royal family, and become a free prince?!"
"Everyone has different ideals, just like me. I have always told everyone that I, Li Ke, have no ambitions. I just want to be a free prince. This is my biggest wish in life!"
"So, everything depends on yourselves." Li Ke looked at them and asked calmly.
Li Ke's words made everyone laugh bitterly.
Your Highness, do you have no ambition? Your Highness, do you want to be a free prince? Do you have any misunderstanding about Prince Xiaoyao? Do you have any misunderstandings about having no ambition?
The Tang Dynasty is in today's situation. Although Your Majesty and the Great Ancestor have made great contributions, the achievements you made by Your Highness the King of Qin are purely due to the short time.
Looking back a few decades from now, will your achievements at that time be without ambition?
If you don't have great ambitions, wouldn't everyone in the Tang Dynasty have to say that you are mediocre?
But His Highness King Qin's words also made them think, yes, you can't just enjoy everything without doing anything, and then let you sit in a high position directly in the end?
In this case, how should the many courtiers of the Tang Dynasty deal with themselves? How could the Tang court be fair?
What future does Datang have? The Tang clan had its own fun.
I can't just say that I want to fight and show my talents, but then I'm still unwilling to give up the honor that comes from my background? What do those honors have to do with them?
Since you want to show your own life value, why not give up these things? !
"Your Highness! I would like to ask, if we resign, will the court really re-appoint us?" Han Wang Li Yuanjia asked in a deep voice.
Li Ke looked at the eleventh uncle. He was the same age as Li Ke, and he also won the championship this year. He had to say that his grandfather was really hardworking. According to normal times, there were five uncles of the same age as Li Ke, including Li Yuanheng and Li Yuanfang, the eighth uncle and the ninth uncle, died young when they were seven or eight years old.
When Li Ke came here today, he had already carefully read the information of these cheap uncles.
Although there are not many records about this eleventh uncle in the history books, he is called a painter, and he has made quite a lot of achievements in his life. He is not the kind of person who does nothing. Now this eleventh uncle has a position as a big brother. General, but not like the right-leading general in history.
Speaking of which, many of my uncles are good at calligraphy and painting, and Li Yuanchang is also good at calligraphy and painting. There is no other way, what are the princes doing if they don't do this? I wouldn’t dare to do anything else.
Li Yuanjia can be called a painter because he spent a long time on painting. If he invests this time in other aspects, his talent is obviously not bad.
"Originally I wanted to give you a guarantee, but now I suddenly don't want to guarantee it! Because it's very simple, the treatment given to you by the Tang Dynasty royal family will not decrease, it will only increase! As for the rest, it depends on how determined you are! How courageous you are! How big!"
"After all, the Ancestral Temple is here! The ancestors and ancestors are here!"
"You must have heard what I said to the concubines, second sons, side branches and other young people of the powerful families on New Year's Eve in the 22nd year of the Tang Dynasty, so I won't repeat them again. Finally, I sent them two poems to encourage them: There will be times when there are strong winds and waves, so hang up your sails and sail across the sea! Let’s encourage them together!”
"And today, I suddenly remembered the scenery of the North that I saw when I went to inspect near Yanmen Pass last winter. Now I suddenly have a word to say to you, to encourage you, myself, and all the Tang sects."
"The scenery of the North is covered in ice for thousands of miles and snow drifting for thousands of miles."
"Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is nothing but vastness; the river up and down suddenly stops flowing."
"Silver snakes dance in the mountains, and wax elephants ride in the mountains. I want to compete with God!"
"On a clear day, it looks particularly charming when you look at the red dress."
"There are so many beauties in the country that it attracts countless heroes to bow down."
"I regret that the writings of Emperor Qin and Han Dynasty are slightly less talented in literature; the writings of Jin Dynasty and Wu Dynasty and Sui Dynasty are slightly less elegant."
"A generation of genius, who lives like a wolf as a subordinate, only knows how to bend a bow and shoot a big eagle."
"It's all over, let's count the famous people, let's look at the present!"
Li Ke read out the poem word for word, and Li Ke naturally made changes to some key figures. After all, many people were still their descendants and not yet born.
When Li Ke finished reading the last word, everyone present was stunned.
Counting famous people, but still looking at the present? !
Yes, they are the Tang clan! What's wrong with them? !
Li Yuanchang was stunned. He had resigned before, but he didn't actually shout it out because he was not young anymore. Although he was only one year older than Li Ke, he had experienced more, so he thought more. He was not passionate. Young.
But as soon as the poem came out, Li Yuanchang suddenly felt a surge of blood. He remembered the long sighs he had made in the study a few years ago. At that time, he complained privately about his second brother, complaining that he did not give him a chance. Complaining that he was on guard against all his brothers.
Although he didn't dare to say some words, that's what he thought in his heart!
Li Yuanchang didn't want to comment on the situation of Xuanwu Gate because the situation involved was very complicated, but he always believed that he also had the talent to manage the world, but he could only accompany himself with calligraphy and painting all day long!
He also wants to do great things like his father. Even though the Tang Dynasty has been established today, doesn't the Tang Dynasty still have many shortcomings? ! Doesn’t Datang still need talents? !
Can't he become a royal minister who will go down in the history books? !
He has thought about all this! But these ambitions were gradually wiped out, until Li Ke finished reading the poem just now.
Yes, count the famous figures, but look at the present day!
Want to be a famous person, look forward and backward, don’t even have any ambition, and still want to be a person who will leave a name in history?
Looking through the history books, among the sages who left their names in history, which one is simpler? !
Even the last face of the big man, Liu Bei of the Shu Han Dynasty, who claimed to be the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, didn't he rise from a humble beginning? ! How long do you have to endure the humiliation? Even when the eighteen princes challenged Dong, he was a member of the Han clan and could not even get the title of a prince, until he became the founding emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty. Is he simple?
