The crown prince Li Chengqian drove his horse directly to the door of the council hall all the way, and the forbidden army at the door rushed to stop the general's people and horses, Li Chengqian kicked away the two of them, and pushed the door of the hall straight open, the emperor Li Er in the hall carried his hands behind his back, his eyes looked at the direction of the door with deep eyes, and his expression could not see joy and anger.Seeing his son come back so angrily, Li Er sighed and said, "You know everything?
”"So, what my uncle said is true?
Is all this planned by my father behind the scenes?
”Li Chengqian said in disbelief."
Not bad."
Li Er answered neatly, without the slightest hesitation or other fluctuations.Li Chengqian asked angrily: "Why?
Why are you doing this?
One of them is my uncle and the other is my brother-in-law, both of them are dedicated to the country and have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, why should they end up ruined and ruined?
”Li Er snorted lightly, "You have been the crown prince for so many years, and you have also been in charge of the country for a few months, don't you understand this thing?"
I'm clearing the way for you. ”"Jealousy can harm loyalty, so it also sweeps the way?
If this is the way my father taught me to be a king, I don't want it in this world, and the days of Datang will not last long!
”Li Chengqian scoffed."
Presumptuous!
You are not the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it is not your turn to teach me a lesson, if you don't look down on the position of the prince, there are many people who will take over, and my Datang has never lacked successors. ”Li Er's anger surged, his son was unfilial, and he dared to disobey himself.Hearing this, Li Chengqian was stunned, was silent for a moment, reached out and took off his hat, and slowly walked to the front of the emperor's table and put it down.Then he turned around and stared at Li Er and said, "Erchen is incompetent, and he can't take this bloody seat you gave." ”After speaking, he strode out, and Li Er hated iron and roared: "Disobedience and unfilial piety, avoid in distress, this is the emperor's mind and the way of being a king taught by Du Shaoqing?"
”Hearing this question, Li Chengqian stopped, turned his head and looked at his father with eyes full of pity, and sighed: "No, you are wrong, he taught me the way to be a minister, and he also taught me the way to be a king, but he didn't teach me the emperor's mind."
Because he said that the lesson of the emperor's mind should not be taught by him, but should be taught to me by my father.I worked hard to be a qualified prince with expectation and confidence, but I didn't expect that in the end, my father would teach me such a lesson, such an imperial mind is definitely not the right way, and it is okay not to learn.Du Shaoqing is a principled genius who knows how to advance and retreat, but unfortunately, you don't have the capacity to tolerate people.One day, you'll regret what you've done today. ”Li Er was surprised, he didn't expect Du Shaoqing to be able to say such a thing, his face flashed with a trace of regret, but it was fleeting, and then he continued to say hardly: "Maybe he is an unborn talent, but Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, his mistake is that he is too smart and too young, you and I can't control it."
And this world is surnamed Li after all, we sacrificed two generations of talents in exchange for the country, I can't watch the Tang Dynasty fall into the hands of others. ”"Father, you are quibbling, what kind of person is my brother-in-law, who of us doesn't know?
A young man of Honglu Temple, he fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and he had no ambition at all. ”Li Chengqian argued.Li Er reprimanded: "He has no ambition, so can you guarantee that his descendants and grandchildren will also have no ambitions?"
The Du family is now a big tail, if it is allowed to develop like this, although the surname of this Datang is Li, it is no different from the surname Du. ”"So you killed Zhong'er, your own grandson?
I remember you once said that he and Xuanxuan are your two favorite grandchildren, how can you do it?
”"The grandson is always the grandson, after all, it is not surnamed Li, you only see that Du Shaoqing has no ambition, but can you see that he is the only one in the Manchu Dynasty, and he does not have the slightest awe of imperial power, such a person is by no means a person who is inferior to others."
This time Li Chengqian was asked, recalling Du Shaoqing, he must know very well as a disciple, as his father said, Du Shaoqing does not have a sense of reverence for the imperial power, he regards the throne as a profession, and the peddler pawn, the market stall vendor or the merchant farmer, when he taught his disciples, he also said a truth, the world is the world of the people of the world, but even so, let Li Chengqian kill Du Shaoqing, he still can't accept it, so he persuaded: "Father, didn't you also say, Can water carry a boat and capsize a boat?
The child has always admired his father as a model for the eternal benevolence, haven't you always known and employed people?
Why do you have to control your courtiers?
For so many years, the five surnames and seven hopes have not been controlled, is it not the same as peace?
”"When do I know that people are under control, I can give my subordinates freedom, so that they will not be aware of being controlled, so that the monarch and the ministers will get along more harmoniously, this is the emperor's heart.And I am the Son of Heaven, and I will not allow the majesty of the Son of Heaven to be provoked, so I will not allow any existence beyond my control.Speaking of five surnames and seven hopes, then you look back, now the five surnames and seven hopes are available?
I can be at peace with them, but that doesn't mean I can condone such an existence forever, and I spent twenty years of accumulation, and finally uprooted the five surnames and seven hopes.Because of this, I can't sit idly by and watch the birth of another five surnames and seven hopes. ”Seeing that Li Chengqian's attitude had eased, Li Er explained to his son with a teaching mentality.Everything today is doomed to the collapse of Li Er's image of Mingjun in Li Chengqian's heart, so Li Chengqian was very devastated, and he felt that he was powerless to convince his father politically."
Father, there are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, even if our Li family becomes a royal family and dominates the world, even if you are the son of heaven and no one can match it, but there is always an existence beyond your control in the world, right?
Manpower is sometimes poor, the most difficult to conquer is actually our ambition and greed, you designed to get rid of a Du Shaoqing, but can you guarantee the Tang Dynasty?
Everyone understands that there is no thousand-year-old dynasty.Unless you can live longer than the sky, it is really hard to say whether everything you do today is a continuation of the Li family Datang or a trap for the Li family Datang. ”Li Er gritted his teeth and said, "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven!"
”"Personnel?
Don't forget, Du Shaoqing is your son-in-law, and he also saved the life of the queen mother, not only the queen mother, how many people in our family have been saved by him?
Such a life-saving grace is exchanged for your suspicion and slaughter, what will the world think?
Are you really hard-hearted?
”Li Chengqian asked.It's a pity that he forgot that the emperor was jealous of Du Shaoqing, so the more he talked about Du Shaoqing's favor and ability at this time, the more he aroused the emperor's jealousy, precisely because Du Shaoqing was too strong and made too many friends, so it was even more terrifying."
Throughout the ages, for this position, how many people have gone forward and shed rivers of blood, what kindness will be avenged?
The flesh and blood of the closest relatives are all cannibalistic and ruthless, not to mention a mere relative" Li Er looked indifferent, but the slight twitch at the corner of his mouth betrayed his heart."
So, that's who you really are?"
Li Chengqian's face was full of loss, "I remember when I was studying in the medical hall, I talked to Du Shaoqing about Xuanwumen, and he persuaded me not to just see the surface, everyone has feelings, and said that you killed the third uncle as a last resort."
Now it seems that he misjudged you as a person.There is no family affection in the heavenly family, which is our extravagance. ”Li Er's face was painful and hideous, and he snorted coldly: "Xuanwu Sect?
How old was he when he was in Xuanwumen?
He is qualified to talk about Xuanwu Sect?
”"Yes, he doesn't seem to be qualified, but since this incident has happened, then everyone is qualified to talk about it, and the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, and you can't stop the mouths of the people of the world.Erchen, a person who has experienced it personally, dare not say that he knows the truth, he has never seen it, so how can he talk about it?
But I know that the reason why he explained this to me is for our own good, he is maintaining your image and the brotherhood of our generation, and he doesn't want our generation of brothers to turn against you and follow in your footsteps.Ironically, he was wrong, and he said that you would have to tell me this lesson when it was time to pass on the throne.Hehe, the biggest miscalculation of the first genius of the Tang Dynasty is to believe that the emperor has family affection!
”"Bastard!"

Li Eryi slapped Li Chengqian's face, the whole person trembled, and immediately felt his brain rush, the sky swirled, and then he fell backwards.Li Chengqian supported him and put him on the dragon chair, and after a stick of incense, Li Er gradually calmed down, and his face was pale as if he had a serious illness."
Father is angry and has a head wind, this is your old problem, if it weren't for my brother-in-law's diligent treatment and care of you and your mother over the years, I'm afraid this head wind can kill you.Now you want to kill your brother-in-law's whole family, and when you get sick again?
”Li Chengqian not only did not call the imperial doctor, but sat by and watched.But Li Er did not be as angry and strong as before, and became extremely calm.After being silent for a long time, he looked at his son with clear eyes, and said earnestly: "I know that what you said is right, and I am full of gratitude and joy to Du Shaoqing in my heart."
There was even a moment when I was thinking, how good it would be if Du Shaoqing was my son, so that I don't have to bother to be tired and painful to take precautions, how good would it be to hand over the country directly to him in the future?
It's a pity that he is not surnamed Li, and I am not only your father, I am also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and I am always involuntary in this position. ”"In this case, my brother-in-law also said that you two are not old, and you should become bosom friends.If your son is not in this position, he may not be able to understand your involuntary body.However, I have my own opinion on this matter, it is true that there are all kinds of inexplicable crises and uncertainties as you said, but all this has never been there, and it will not be solved forever just because you killed a Du Shaoqing. ”Li Chengqian replied calmly and retorted with reason.Li Er didn't argue, but changed the topic, "Du Shaoqing is indeed extremely smart, a person who has never seen the Xuanwu Sect can actually explain the benefits and disadvantages of the Xuanwu Sect in one sentence, if such a person is not his own person, then whoever he is, he will be afraid." ”"So, when you killed your uncle and third uncle, did you really have another hidden story?"
Li Chengqian was surprised.recalled the bloodshed of Xuanwu Gate, which was the eternal pain buried in Li Er's heart, the knot in his heart that had made him unable to sleep all day long for twenty years."
Back then, your grandfather once closed the door and said that he wanted me to divide the Tang Dynasty equally with your uncle, and one person and half of the land were divided, but unfortunately it backfired in the end."
At that time, Li Chengqian was eight years old, and vaguely knew some news, "Uncle is the crown prince, and half of your great achievements were laid by you, it is indeed difficult to choose, maybe dividing the land and ruling is a way, at least it will not kill each other, why didn't it succeed in the end?"
”Li Er shook his head and sighed: "How can it be so simple?
After all, your grandfather had only been the emperor for nine years at that time, and although he was already sixty years old, he was still in good spirits and had no intention of abdicating.However, the matter of Xuanwumen was not expected by his old man, and even he had always wanted to avoid but could not avoid it. ”"What do you mean by that?
Is there still someone who can't be persecuted?
”Li Chengqian asked.Li Er's eyes flashed with a sneer: "Persecution?
Isn't it being persecuted!
I joined the army at a young age, fought for more than ten years, fought in the south and the north, and followed me were all loyal ministers and good generals with great military achievements, most of whom were born in poverty.And most of the people who support your uncle are from noble backgrounds, and your uncle rarely leads troops, but he manages the money and grain of the Tang Dynasty very well, but the price paid is a bit big, and in the most difficult time, he even set up an IOU with the five surnames and the Qiwang Shandong clan.So you can understand that the final battle for the throne is no longer just a dispute between the two brothers behind closed doors.Whoever ascends to the throne can drive the glory and wealth of the supporters behind him, on the contrary, he will lose his previous efforts or even move his head, and he has been like this since ancient times. ”"But then it wasn't like this, you came to power, and you didn't reuse the martial arts under the uncle?
Wei Zheng, the Xue brothers, etc., do you have to use knives?
I vaguely remember that my uncle loved me very much when I was a child, and the relationship between our two families was very good, and Xuanwumen was like an emergency, and I still don't understand. ”Li Chengqian was puzzled.Speaking of this, Li Er couldn't help but be aroused with hatred and anger, "Of course not!"
When you were eight years old, you knew how to think of brotherhood, not to mention that I and your uncle and uncle were compatriots, and we grew up with my father since I was a child, and our brotherly love is deeper than yours, how can we draw a knife against each other?
It was a calculation by others. ”"Calculation?
Who is so bold as to dare to calculate the prince and the king of Qin?
Five surnames and seven hopes?
”Li Chengqian exclaimed."
It's not just them, all the people who are staring at the throne, the Wu Qunchen behind me expect me to take the throne as soon as possible, even if they seize power by force, they all hate the crown prince, all do things by unscrupulous means, not like me, and know that the other party is my fellow brother.In the same way, the people behind your uncle want to get rid of me as soon as possible, saying that my high achievements will become a scourge sooner or later, and they are also plotting to mutiny and kill me.In the final analysis, their so-called loyalty is just for their future status and wealth, and no one cares about the life or death of our Li family brothers, who are all victims of politics. ”Li Chengqian listened quietly and didn't say a word, he knew that this was an important lesson that Du Shaoqing said back then.Li Er paused, and then continued: "It seems that I am the winner of this battle, but in fact, I am also a victim, for twenty years, I have suffered all day long, and it will not disappear overnight, and the picture of your uncle and third uncle dying in front of me is still vivid."
I'm the same as you think, I don't want to kill them, at most it's enough to be reduced to commoners without a threat, but I watched them die in front of me, and in the end I couldn't do anything.Do you know?
At that time, your uncle looked at me, and that look" ""Look?
What looks?
Hatred or horror?
”Li Chengqian asked in a low voice."
No, it's neither, it's pity, it's pain, and even relief" Li Chengqian was puzzled: "How, how come?"
”This shows that he is the same as I think, he didn't want to kill me, he didn't even want to fight me, when he was dying, he saw that our brother would eventually fall, and he, who was the elder brother, fell, and protected me, the younger brother.So he is also relieved, because the living will only endure endless pain" Li Er finished talking about Xuanwumen, and finally said the depression that had accumulated in his chest for many years, and before he knew it, the corners of his eyes were already wet, looking at his son's expression, he knew that he was very successful in this lesson.
