Li Mingda's words made Li Shimin think. First, he knew why he became like this.
That is because he still cares too much about his reputation and because of his family background. Although he can come up with strange tricks to deal with noble princes from aristocratic families, he has not jumped out of the ancient rules of fighting between noble princes and emperors.
This rule seemed to bind them and Li Shimin. In fact, the only one who was really bound was Li Shimin.
Why?
Because the emperor is high and respected by everyone in the world, your every move will be watched by countless people. It is different for the noble princes of aristocratic families. They can hide most of themselves in the darkness without being noticed, and collude with each other secretly. Doing something that violates the rules, even if you notice the abnormality and catch the tail, they can give up the tail and grow another one.
The only way to break through this shackles is to be a random standard-bearer like Li Mingda. If you play with the rules, I will play casually. If you play casually, I will always use the rules as an excuse to sentence you to lose.
If you don't accept it, I'll let you know what it means to have an iron head and what it means to have a horizontal knife in your hand. You are just a dead dog waiting to be slaughtered.
Seeing that Li Shimin was still thinking, Li Mingda reminded Lao Li with a haha: "Father, your thoughts have been solidified. If you can't figure it out, it's better not to think about it. You will understand it if you look more. I'll go talk to my mother."
Since the eldest grandson had expelled Tiehanhan Ruhuazhi from the two-person world, and he did not need to take care of the affairs of the harem, the bored eldest grandson sighed helplessly and muttered: "I am tired when I am busy, and I feel even more tired when I am idle."
Li Mingda jumped to his eldest grandson and took over the conversation: "Mother, why don't you write poems and chat when you have free time? Walk around to make some money, eat some peanuts and edamame, and then go to the street to look at the little lady. Life is beautiful."
(￣┰￣*)
The eldest grandson listened to what Li Mingda said at first, and it was still the same thing, but then something went wrong, the little ladies came out, are you going to make such a fuss?
He stretched out his hand and rubbed Li Mingda's little fat face: "You are already an emperor. I thought you have grown a lot, but why are you still talking like a big girl, a little wife, a little lady? Are you afraid that the officials won't say anything about you? ?”
Li Mingda looked disdainful: "We are not children of the first class, why can't we look at the little lady? We already have several concubines, and they will continue to expand. As for anyone who says anything about me, it is okay to make irresponsible remarks on your Majesty. Punish them for the crime of disrespect, la la la la."
o(￣ε￣*)
The eldest grandson continued to ravage Li Mingda's little fat face: "You, let me tell you what is good about you."
"Then don't say it"
(￣┰￣*)
The eldest grandson's eyes were full of doting on Li Mingda, and Li Mingda continued to take credit: "I arranged winter clothes and supplies for eldest grandson Wuji, and they were according to the standards of my brothers and others."
The eldest grandson: "Xiao Sizi, you are interested, but you can't let them out."
Li Mingda: "Don't worry, we won't let them come out. They will play a much greater role in the stability of Datang inside than outside."
"Besides, we don't want to see my mother sad because of these losers."
Changsun was speechless at this description. Although he said they were all losers, he could not always use useless words to describe Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Changsun Wuji and Li Moyun. In particular, Changsun Wuji and Li Moyun are both wise men capable of a certain country.
Changsun kindly warned Li Mingda: "Don't be proud and complacent, the previous dynasty is a role model."
Li Mingda
The eldest grandson said it very tactfully, and Li Mingda could tell what it meant. He didn't want to let down the eldest grandson's heart, so he nodded obediently: "I know, little Sizi will definitely remember all the queen's teachings."
After a few words with the eldest grandson, Li Mingda led the others back to the imperial study.
The eldest grandson looked at Li Mingda's back and smiled. His daughter knew clearly that if she promised well on the surface, she would definitely not do it later, just like when she beat Li Zhi, she said she was not obedient. I kept beating him behind his back.
When Li Mingda left, Lao Li was still thinking about a question. If he was shameless, could he really take down those people during his ten-year rule?
If Li Shimin asked Li Mingda, Li Mingda would definitely tell him: Go to bed and wash yourself.
Because this situation will only happen to two kinds of people, the first is the person who had the dream, and the second is naturally cheating people like Li Mingda.
Returning to the imperial study, he greeted Li Ji, Wei Zheng, and Lu Zhi who were busy, and sat on his own dragon chair.
I casually picked up today's memorials, and many of them talked about the Yangzhou incident.
These people were divided into two rows. The one in the north said that Li Mingda had killed too many people and wanted to be an emperor based on kindness.
The south, on the other hand, very much approved of Li Mingda's vigorous and resolute style and harsh methods, and shamelessly praised Li Mingda. It is not your family that invites friends to marry that is the deadliest in love.
Hahaha, seeing this kind of memorial that was very different between the north and the south, Li Mingda knew that these grandsons had secretly mixed together to form two political parties, the north and the south.
The two groups of people just laughed and cursed Li Mingda, "mmp" behind their backs.
Pulling Wu Xu who was grilling peanuts to his side, Li Mingda asked Wu Xu: "Did you see anything about the throne memorial in the past two days?"
Wu Xu thought for a moment and replied seriously: "These people are afraid of Your Majesty."
Snapped
He slapped Emperor Wu Xu on the head and rubbed her face: "Stop flattering and tell the truth."
Seeing that he failed to flatter him, Wu Xu had to answer Li Mingda in a low voice: "According to normal remarks, although the South is right to say that His Majesty is sage and stern, in fact, they are begging for mercy from Your Majesty. They want to say that they are wrong and hope that Your Majesty will Can you give me a chance?”
Li Mingda asked Wu Xu: "So, do you think we should let them go?"
Wu Xu thought for a moment: "Let some go and kill some, so that when they see His Majesty's power, they will also feel His Majesty's kindness."
Li Mingda continued to ask Wu Xu: "What about the people from the north who begged for mercy?"
Wu Xu: "On the surface, I am interceding for the southern officials, but in fact, I want your majesty to continue to be kind to the southern officials and honor the noble princes, so that they can have a chance to free up the territory and official positions."
He patted Wu Xu's head gently and praised her at the same time: "I have made progress these days and I have seen most of the situation clearly. But you didn't expect that the imperial throne memorials of officials from the north and the south actually explained a problem. A faction has formed, and people on both sides have even united behind the scenes. They have dug a hole and are waiting for me to jump into it."
Wu Xu looked stunned: "Your Majesty, no way! Are they crazy?"
Li Mingda explained to Wu Xu: "They are not crazy, they just think they are very powerful. In fact, they are just an inflated pig urine bubble. I have many ways to deal with this kind of thing."
