"You! Remember, as a king, you can not be a martial artist, but you must have the ability to know people, the good ones must be used, the bad ones must also be used, and for the various factions in the court to compete for power, whether it is a civil servant or a military general, whether it is Confucianism, or Taoist thought, or Mohist thought, you just need to remember one sentence, which can be used for you, and can bring stability and prosperity to the entire Tang Dynasty at the moment, that is what you want, not thinking about what gentlemen have been advocating by those ministers.

You remember, you are the prince, the master of the Tang Dynasty in the future, you have never been a gentleman, you are the king, the emperor in the future, the inner and outer kings are the policy of the country, but the country is restless, then do domineering, martial arts, recruit talents, remove traitors, enrich the treasury, reduce the people's endowment, you can understand these! Wang Xuan looked at Li Chengqian's ignorant appearance, and did not explain further, but talked to him about the way of being a king.

Even Li Shimin, who was on the side, was a little puzzled by this way of being a king.

"Xuanzi, I know this inner and outer king, but this country is restless, why do you want to be domineering, promote martial arts, recruit talents, eliminate traitors, enrich the treasury, reduce people's endowments, what is the meaning of this" No, this son hasn't asked yet, this Lao Tzu asked first, Li Shimin looked at Wang Xuan puzzled and asked.

"Let's take an analogy, if the Tang Dynasty is now in danger, there is a strong enemy outside, there is a lot of illness inside, this Wenchen is in power, the military generals are weak, the status of the soldiers is not high, and the Wenchen has many words of peace, there are few people who dare to fight, and the treasury is empty, and the people's hearts are floating, you say it's you, how do you help the Great Xia general" Wang Xuan looked at Li Shimin, and simply said the shame of Jingkang in the later Song Dynasty, and then asked Li Shimin what to do.

Hearing Wang Xuan's question, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then stood up, and said to Wang Xuan, "What else can I do about this, of course, first take advantage of the current situation, win over a group of people, especially the generals who are loyal to the monarch, and then promote the status of the soldiers, first stabilize the situation, and then select loyal people to clean up the corrupt ministers in the court........."

"But if these courtiers and officials protect each other and block them with the words of various saints, what should you do" Before Li Shimin finished speaking, Wang Xuan raised another question.

"This is almost a country, no matter what the words of the saints, the way of the ancestors, if anyone dares to stop me from keeping this foundation, then ............ Hahahaha, you are a good Wang Xuan, a good An Guohou, good, good, these eighteen-character words say what a king who is about to die should do! At the beginning, Li Shimin was still talking about how to do it, but as he spoke, he found that what he did was not exactly what Wang Xuan said. This made him laugh wildly as he watched Wang Xuan laugh there.

It's just that Li Chengqian, who was suffering on the side, didn't understand what was going on at all, and he didn't understand why his father was so excited.

"Okay, you see Gao Ming is dumbfounded, you better explain the situation to him!" Seeing Li Shimin like this, Wang Xuan couldn't help but say to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Forget it, you said I was shameless, so it's better for you to come!" Li Shimin looked at Wang Xuan and said, and then sat down on the stone steps again.

Li Chengqian on the side was even more puzzled.

"Gao Ming, it doesn't matter if you don't understand this, my uncle said this, just to tell you, as a king, in the face of such a situation, you have to have the idea of breaking the convention, the empty treasury does not mean that the country has no money, and the power of the civil servants does not mean that you cannot seize power by force, as long as you can find the statement that can convince the public or the evidence of their crimes, then the money of the rich businessmen and the ministers' families is all your money, and with money, then you can appease the army and reduce the taxes of the people, then now the people and the army support you, Then as long as you recruit some talented people, then you will be able to hold the country! But to do this, you can't be a gentleman in the mouth of the literati, but the domineering and unrivaled king, of course, this specific matter has to be dealt with specifically, after all, sometimes what you see and hear is not necessarily right, this requires you to be good at thinking and judging" Wang Xuan heard Li Shimin's words, and directly despised him, and then said to Li Chengqian.

"Gao Ming Uncle Xie taught, Father Xie cultivated" Hearing this, Li Chengqian was stupid and understood what was going on, and he hurriedly got up and bowed deeply to his uncle and father.

"I understand these, then my uncle is telling you what this inner saint and outer king are, the inner saint is to implement benevolence internally, but to implement benevolence, then you must know how to weigh the forces of all parties, so that they form a balance of power that restricts each other, but they are all under your control, this is the highest state of the inner saint, but now the Tang Dynasty is obviously unbalanced by the forces of all parties, and the point of imbalance lies between the family and the people, so my father and I want to establish a system outside of this to balance all this.

But no matter how much you say, all of this is to serve your Li family, and it is all to consolidate the stability of your Li family's throne, once someone wants to break this balance, then you have to think about eliminating it, as for how to eliminate it, it depends on your means and your determination" Wang Xuan looked at Li Chengqian with satisfaction, and talked to him about the way of balance there.

"Uncle, if you say so, then why do you want to help our Li family so much" Li Chengqian thought for a while and asked Wang Xuan.

"It's easy! I think your father will be a good emperor, I hope to help him build a prosperous Tang Dynasty together, after all, there is a saying that is very good, rather be a peaceful dog than a person in a troubled world, this person who lives in a troubled world is really not as good as a dog" Hearing Li Chengqian's question, Wang Xuan thought about it and answered to Li Chengqian.

Hearing Wang Xuan's words, Li Chengqian didn't feel much, but Li Shimin, who fought all the way in the chaotic times of the Sui Dynasty in the past, had a life experience! In this troubled world, many people really don't live as well as a dog.

"Clever and clever! Although you are still young, because of your identity, you are destined to work harder than others, not for your father, but for the future when you take over the Tang in your father's hands, you can bring the Tang Dynasty more prosperous.

In addition, if you are the queen in the future, whether you are domineering or benevolent, you must remember to put the people first and grasp the military power, which is the basis for you to sit on the throne safely, don't hurt the hearts of the people, and don't chill the blood of the soldiers" Wang Xuan didn't wait for Li Shimin and Li Chengqian's father and son to speak, he said to Li Chengqian again.

"Uncle rest assured, Gao Ming will definitely remember his uncle's teachings today," Li Chengqian said solemnly to Wang Xuan after bowing to Wang Xuan.
