Chapter 107: I'll farm the land as a free king
"It's a strange feeling."
"It's like having confidence."
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "When I make mistakes, there are always people who hide them for me. ”
"When I was beaten by my father, someone always came to give me medicine."
"When someone scolds me, someone always helps me out."
Listen to Li Chengqian's narration.
Li Shimin also smiled: "Then this feeling is really good." ”
"I'd like to experience it once if I could."
Historically, many people scolded Li Shimin.
said that he treated his brothers and compatriots with extreme cruelty.
But who knows, what happened to him?
Since childhood, he has been ostracized by his brothers and alienated from his sisters.
can listen to his grievances and chat with him, except for his brother-in-law Chai Shao, the only one is the eldest grandson Wuji.
There are brothers, but they can't have the happiness of brothers.
Who can know the anguish in his heart?
The world only knows that he killed his brother.
But who knows, the throne was originally his?
When Jinyang raised troops, Li Yuan once said that if he won the world, Li Shimin would be the crown prince.
But what about after you win the world?
The crown prince was built by Lee.
And Li Shimin has become the tool man of Datang.
And they still have to be excluded everywhere and controlled by people everywhere.
To a certain extent.
Li Shimin did not kill his own brother.
It was his own brother who forced him to kill them.
The previous Li Chengqian, just like the above, thought that Li Shimin was cruel and ruthless, and killed his siblings.
But later, after Li Chengqian got along with Li Shimin in person.
He knew that Li Shimin was far from being the brutal and ruthless person that history said.
If he is brutal, can he be loved by all the people?
If he is cruel, he can repeatedly add rank to knighthood for his former enemy?
These are just the helplessness of being born in such a troubled time.
If he didn't kill, Li Shimin would not be the only one who died.
Cheng Yanjin, eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Chi Jingde, Qin Shubao and a group of people, including Li Chengqian, could not survive.
He is not moving forward alone, but carrying the fate of many people.
He hid all these anguish in his heart and never told anyone about it.
But today, he said it to his son.
Li Shimin looked up at the sky, looked at Li Chengqian, and asked, "If it was you who stood in that position at the beginning, would you kill or not?" ”
Li Chengqian pursed his lips and only said one word.
"Kill."
"Why?"
Li Shimin looked straight at him.
"If you don't kill it."
"I will die, my mother will die, uncle, Uncle Cheng, Qin Bobo, Uncle Hou, will all die."
"If I were to use my infamy in exchange for these people to survive and the Tang Dynasty to prosper, I would be willing to be this wicked person."
Li Chengqian raised his head and looked at Li Shimin.
The father and son looked at each other for a long time.
Li Shimin suddenly smiled.
Laughing on your back.
It's a kind of laughter that is understood.
"It's been so many years, and these things have been in my heart for so long."
"If I say it, I will be content if my son understands it."
At this time, Li Shimin is not like the Ninety-Five.
His lonely appearance is no different from that of an ordinary depressed and depressed scholar.
Seeing him like this, Li Chengqian felt inexplicably distressed in his heart.
He didn't want to be an emperor, he didn't want to be a prince.
There are two reasons, one is that he doesn't want to be like Li Chengqian in his previous life, and he ended up dying miserably.
Second, I am afraid that I will be like Li Shimin, carrying everything, but I can't complain.
"Cao Cao once said, I'd rather bear the people of the world than teach the people of the world to bear me."
"This sentence, sometimes when I think about it, does make a lot of sense."
Li Chengqian's expression was indifferent: "If you want to do something big, you naturally can't care about the eyes of others." ”
"If you always care about what others think, then this is the only way to do it in this life."
"There were Confucian scholars who scolded Emperor Qin in front of him, and he should not drink at the same table with the ministers."
"Emperor Qin angrily reprimanded the Confucian student, saying that the monarch's world was all fought by ministers who sacrificed their lives to fight."
"What's wrong with a monarch drinking with his ministers?"
"After that, Confucian scholars took advantage of this to make a big fuss, saying that the ministers of the Qin Emperor were all rude people who did not distinguish between monarchs and ministers."
"When Emperor Qin found out, he scolded these Confucian scholars for being stupid, so he launched a book burning pit to destroy Confucianism."
"And this book burning and Confucianism also made Emperor Qin infamous through the ages."
Li Chengqian looked up at Li Shimin: "The predicament faced by Emperor Qin was no different from that of his father. ”
"People in the world say that the emperor's country is not the right way."
"Then let me ask them, is it reasonable that all the world should be inherited by a stupid eldest son?"
"It's really not fair."
"It's not fair to the people, and it's even more unfair to those who have the ability."
I heard Li Chengqian's words.
Li Shimin closed his eyes, and the heartstrings touched in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.
If you take out Li Jiancheng alone, it is true that you are not saying that you are benevolent and generous.
But if asked, he is not fit to be a monarch.
That's ten thousand don't fit.
Especially not suitable to be a monarch of the Tang Dynasty.
China was divided for hundreds of years and finally reunified.
But after reunification, after only 38 years, it fell into a situation of division again.
At this moment, if you make such an indecisive thing as Li Jiancheng.
So Datang, will there be prosperity in the future?
What the current Datang needs is not benevolent government, let alone tyranny.
What Datang needs is a monarch who works hard, rectifies the inside and secures the world outside.
Obviously, the most suitable person to become a monarch is only Li Shimin.
Li Shimin gently rubbed Li Chengqian's head.
"Not to mention the side, just your opinion, it is enough to see that you have the mind of an emperor."
"Father, this is wrong."
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly: "What I have is not a mind but a pattern, but if I am made the emperor, you will wait for the Tang Dynasty to die." ”
Hearing this, Li Shimin's already better mood suddenly suffered again.
Why is this product so resistant to being an emperor?
Li Shimin shook his head and sighed, and asked, "Then let me ask you, and you tell me the truth." ”
"You don't want to be an emperor, what do you want to do?"
"Don't fool me with that about doing business, be careful that I beat you."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian took a step back.
"To be honest, when I started, I really wanted to go into business when I grew up."
"But later, when my sister talked to me, I thought that doing business seemed too boring."
"Especially sorry for my identity as a prince."
"So I don't know what I want to do now."
"Anyway, I'm only nine years old this year, give me another two years, I want to think about it, okay?"
Li Shimin gave him a blank look: "Is there anything bad about being an emperor?" ”
"There is nothing bad about being an emperor, just to be wronged and depressed for the rest of your life."
"To tell you the truth, Father, I really don't like that kind of life."
"Otherwise, you will make me a free king, how about I take a family to farm?"
Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance, Li Shimin was angry, and kicked when he raised his foot.
Li Chengqian reacted quickly, hurriedly dodged, and then made a grimace at Li Shimin.
"Can't kick, can't kick, old man, come after me."
Immediately afterward, he ran to the camp in a puff of smoke.
Seeing the happy appearance of this goods, Li Shimin couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
But the suffocation in my heart has really eased a lot.
Li Shimin looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
"I really don't know what you kid thinks."
"Is this throne so worthless......
