Li Qinzai actually did not approve of Li Xian's participation in the fight for the throne.
His own disciple, Li Qinzai, knew how good he was. With Li Xian's age, qualifications, moral character, and connections in the court, none of them had an advantage.
Even Li Xian himself admitted that his only advantage was the teacher Li Qinzai.
So, an important teacher can decide whether he can be the prince?
Isn't this noisy?
"Except for me as a teacher, where do you think you are better than Li Xian?" Li Qinzai asked again.
Li Xian thought for a long time and sighed: "My disciple seems to be inferior to him."
"You know you are not as good as him, but you still want to be the crown prince, then your purpose is not for the Tang Dynasty and the people, but for your personal desire for power." Li Qinzai said sharply.
Li Xian's face suddenly turned red.
As if the last fig leaf was torn off in the street, Li Xian found that his privacy and shameful desires were all exposed to the world.
"Sir, my disciple wants to be the crown prince because he wants to benefit the country and the people. He may have personal desires, but his loyalty to the public cannot be denied." Li Xian said unconvinced.
Li Qinzai nodded: "Well, of course I can't deny it. If you successfully become the crown prince and eventually succeed your father as the emperor, I would also like to believe that you are a good emperor, at least I will think so in my heart."
"Not only do you think so in your heart, your disciples will also do the same. It is your duty to open up new territories and benefit the people." Li Xian said in a serious tone.
Li Qinzai smiled: "Before getting power, anyone would make such a great and righteous ambition, but once you get power, can you guarantee that you will still think so?"
"After tasting the delicious taste of power, you will be addicted to it. At that time, you were racking your brains to think about how to balance the situation of the government, how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, how to fight wits and courage with the courtiers, and control all the power in the world. Concentrate it into your own hands..."
"Don't rush to deny it, you will definitely be like this. Anyone who sits in that position will be like this, including your father. Even if you really want to do something for the people of the world, you must first settle the courtiers, otherwise your imperial edict will be issued If we don’t get to the palace, the people below will be obedient and disobedient.”
"As for dealing with courtiers, some emperors spent their whole lives doing it, and even did it in a mess."
Li Xian said with a cold face: "How difficult is it to deal with the courtiers? If I have power, those who do not obey my orders will be driven away or killed. For such a simple matter, who will spend their whole life fighting with them."
Li Qinzai sneered: "You have an elder, well, he is your uncle, his name is Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian said something before his death, 'As the emperor, I should indulge my desires, and I will kill anyone who advises me. Wouldn't it be certain to kill five hundred people?'"
"Haha, what you just said is similar to that of your elder. They are all the same bastards. With your kind of mind, is it really suitable to be a crown prince? Can you really be a good emperor?"
Li Xian was startled, his body straightened involuntarily, and he sat upright.
"Sir, I was a little impulsive just now and did say some stupid things. Sir, please don't blame me." Li Xian apologized sincerely.
Li Qinzai hummed: "I don't blame you, but to tell you the truth, I won't help you fight for savings. If you can't figure it out and think I'm too ruthless, it doesn't matter. You and I can just terminate the teacher-student relationship."
Li Xian was shocked, and his expression suddenly became panicked: "Sir, I understand my mistake and will never mention the matter of fighting for the reserve in the future. I beg you, sir, please don't chase me away from the door!"
After speaking, Li Xian stood up and bowed hesitantly in front of Li Qinzai.
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "You don't want to fight for the throne anymore? Prince of the East Palace, what a glorious position, the future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, do you really don't want it?"
Li Xian hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "I want it, but I care more about the teacher-student relationship with my husband. If I have to choose one of the two, I would like to give up the East Palace and study peacefully under my teacher from now on."
Li Qinzai nodded with a smile and said happily: "You talk as if you are very knowledgeable. You are obviously a scumbag. You are talking about studying knowledge. If you really don't fight for wealth, you can live under my sect from now on and be a well-fed and drunk vassal king." good."
Li Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, why didn't you hurt your mouth when you were injured..."
Li Qinzai sneered, "Disciple, when the school starts, you will taste the familiar feeling of being beaten as you wish."
He knew that Li Xian was telling the truth and he should be speaking from his heart. Who doesn't want power? It's just that everyone's choices are different.
Li Xian is still kind-hearted, and he made a choice between power and emotion regardless of the pros and cons.
Although he was still unwilling, although he was still frustrated, he finally gave up.
Li Qinzai didn't help Li Xian, not because he was afraid of trouble, but because the time had not yet come and the fire had not yet arrived. At the same time, Li Xiande was not worthy of the position.
Li Xian in history finally became the emperor as he wished. Well, it was the miserable six emperors.
Today's history may be different, but Li Xian is not good enough to control the position of the East Palace. Besides, it is indeed taboo for Li Qinzai to rashly get involved in the dispute for the crown prince.
The most taboo thing in the emperor's family is that foreign ministers do not know their own weight, think that they are very important, foolishly get involved, and form gangs and cultivate party members regardless of life and death.
As everyone knows, the emperor hates this kind of people the most. Once he gets involved, the emperor will target you and have murderous intentions towards you. It's just a matter of killing him sooner or later.
Li Qinzai would never make such a mistake.
Li Xian is still young, so if you tell him how dangerous it is to fight for the throne, he probably won't understand.
As long as you participate in it, the failed counselor will most likely switch to another camp. As long as you are thick-skinned and surrender quickly enough, you can still keep your life safe.
But the prince who failed in the fight for the throne was actually assigned the title of King of Hell by his brother who succeeded in ascending to the throne.
As soon as the biological father kicked his legs and the prince ascended the throne, the first person to take out the sacrificial flag was the opponent who failed in the fight for the throne.
"You returned to Chang'an with me that day. Let me ask you, do you know the news that the prince is seriously ill?" Li Qinzai suddenly asked.
Li Xian was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "The disciple knew about it as soon as he returned to Chang'an, so the palace's advisers instigated the disciple to fight for the throne."
Li Qinzai said slowly: "The prince is your half-brother. He is seriously ill. Have you visited him in the East Palace?"
Li Xian was stunned again, and then lowered his head in shame.
Li Qinzai knew the answer, shook his head and sighed: "You said you would be a good prince and a good emperor, but you are so indifferent to basic family ties. Do you really think you are worthy of being a prince?"
The words were very unpleasant, and Li Xian felt ashamed, but he still bowed his head with a red face and said: "It is my fault that I have been carried away by the desire for power these days. Now I understand, and after a while, I went to the East Palace to visit my brother. "
Li Qinzai hummed and said, "By the way, tell Li Sujie that the two princesses of Yiyang in Xuancheng and all the little bastards will gather outside Yanping Gate in three days to go to Ganjing Village."
Li Xian was stunned, his mind couldn't turn around for a moment: "What are you doing?"
When speaking, the back of Li Xian's head was just within reach of Li Qinzai.
This position is so cool.
Li Qinzai couldn't help but slap Li Xian on the back of the head: "School has started, you bastard! Chang'an City is very windy now. If you little bastards don't stay away, aren't you afraid of being involved in the dispute?"
