Even if Li Tai wanted to break his head, he couldn't understand that his father and emperor actually appeared in Yangzhou.

But he was a very clever man.

He has a deep relationship with his father and son, and since he came to Yuezhou, from his father's many letters, he can probably understand his father's remorse.

Obviously, he is Li Shimin's young son, and his father still has some calf licking.

At this time, the will has been made, and if you want to take back your fate, I am afraid that it is not so easy.

Therefore, my father visited Yangzhou privately for the sake of meeting father and son.

All of a sudden, a glimmer of hope ignited in Li Tai's heart.

But then, he looked down and glanced at Mr. Deng, whose head was rolling off, which made him feel numb.

If this is the case, then why would the father be indifferent to Chen Zhengtai killing Mr. Deng.

Just when he was helpless, Li Tai hurriedly stepped forward with tears in his eyes: "Father, father...... The son has seen his father. ”

He bowed to Li Shimin: "The son is in Yangzhou, all day after day I miss the grace of my parents, I thought that the son of the son was in Yangzhou, this life and the father are separated by thousands of miles, there is no day to see each other, fortunately the heavens are blessed, today I have to see my father again, my father ......"

Li Taibai was at Li Shimin's feet, his voice choked, and he cried loudly.

Li Shimin's mind is extremely complicated.

It's my own flesh and blood.

The flesh and blood of the dearest.

It was from himself and Guanyin, except for Li Chengqian, and Li Zhi in infancy, there is no one closer to the child in front of him than him in this world.

Li Shimin's eyes were also slightly red in an instant.

Scenes from the past flashed in his mind like a marquee, and he could still remember what Li Tai looked like when he was young, his naïve attitude when he was an infant, and the humor when he babbled.

Now seeing Li Tai kneeling at his feet, affectionately calling the word father, Li Shimin had mixed feelings, and he couldn't help crying.

In the original expectation, this time I came to Yangzhou, although I wanted to visit the disaster in Yangzhou privately, but I didn't want to see Li Tai again.

In the Tang system, vassal kings from other places were not allowed to enter Chang'an without special permission. Chang'an and Yangzhou are thousands of miles apart, and a round trip, if it is a private action like Li Shimin, it will take more than a month, but if it is a large-scale departure, it will never be possible without three or five months.

Now, the father and child who was thinking about it was in front of his eyes, and when he heard his choked voice, Li Shimin was so emotional that he couldn't help but moisten the corners of his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, his eyes were gone.

"Get up, the green finch doesn't have to be polite." Li Shimin raised his hand.

Li Tai heard his father's voice and knew that his father was moved, so he let go of his heart, trembled and got up, and saluted with his hands crossed: "My father came from afar, why didn't I see the guard of honor, and I didn't see Chang'an's fast horse to send the news first, and the sons and ministers couldn't welcome them from afar, which is really unfilial." ”

"I heard that Yangzhou has suffered a catastrophe and want to come and see." Li Shimin took a breath and tried to calm his mood a little, he looked at Li Tai, still looking old and serious, and between his gestures, he was still polite, like a gentle and humble gentleman: "If it is a big fanfare, it will inevitably disturb the people. ”

When Li Tai heard that his father was coming to inspect, a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

In the disaster situation in Yangzhou, I have done my best.

Within the four seas, everyone praises, this is by no means a joke, in this Jiangnan, at least Li Tai has heard and witnessed, almost everyone praises His Royal Highness the King of Yue for responding to the disaster in a timely manner, the people rejoiced for this, and some people wept bitterly for Li Tai's exhaustion.

Since my father is here, I think I have heard these discussions.

He bowed down and said: "After my son heard about the disaster, he immediately came to Gaoyou County, which was the most seriously affected, and the disaster in Gaoyou County was the most serious. Erchen ...... Erchen ......"

He glanced at Li Shimin cautiously: "Erchen has the courage to say that in the process of this disaster relief, the people are extremely enthusiastic, some of them help each other, and some of them are willing to contribute, especially this Gaoyou Deng family, which is even more indispensable...... Just ......"

Li Tai immediately looked at Chen Zhengtai, and anger flashed in his eyes.

He said sadly: "This Mr. Deng, a Wensheng, is a Zhongliang queen, and the Deng family's valve reading can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. They are the most charitable in the local area, and they are famous in Jiangnan for their cultivation and reading poetry and books. Mr. Deng is a modest person and is the best at governing the scriptures, and his sons have benefited a lot in front of him. This catastrophe, the Deng family also contributed the most, if it weren't for their help, this flood didn't know how many people's lives were harmed, but today, Chen Zhengtai came here, it was indiscriminate, indiscriminately killing innocents, father, Mr. Deng's head fell to the ground today, and not to say right and wrong, if it spreads, I am afraid that the world will vibrate, Jiangnan Shimin was shocked to hear such bad news, it is bound to be raging, I am the Tang Dynasty, in this Lang Lang Qiankun, such a thing happened, how will the people of the world think of my father? Father......

When Li Shimin heard these words, the excitement in his heart suddenly disappeared, and his voice changed slightly: "These days, Deng Wensheng has always been by your side, right?" ”

"Yes." Li Tai's heart was extremely sad and indignant, Mr. Deng was his own person, but he was killed in front of him, if Chen Zhengtai did not pay the price, how could he be worthy of Yangzhou Deng, not to mention, the entire Jiangnan people were looking at themselves, and they controlled Yang and Yue 21 Prefectures, once they lost their prestige, even the Deng family could not be saved, how could they gain a foothold in Jiangnan?

Li Shimin said coldly: "But what I have seen and heard, but this is not the case, what I have seen, you and this Deng family's relief, is just a man-made disaster, countless small people, driven by the government, everywhere, just to build the river embankment, in order to protect the Deng family's fields, rather flooded the land of the small people, but also to build a dam near the Deng family's fertile fields, I saw along the way, there are many dry bones, the people fell by the road, and no one cared." The village's manpower is exhausted, but there is still no control to requisition the people, so that women and children need to go up the river embankment, is this what you call relief? Where did you use the money and food I sent you? Why can't the people who built the dams even have enough to eat? ”

Li Shimin's string of questions made Li Tai stunned.

Li Shimin thought that Li Tai didn't know, but Li Tai was still polite immediately: "Father, my Tang Dynasty rules the world with the Deng family, not with the untouchables, doesn't my father know how the Sima family won the world, and why did Emperor Yang of Sui die in the world?" ”

Li Tai's voice was exceptionally clear, and even Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but feel that his back was cold when he heard it.

But Li Tai's face was extremely calm, he looked at his father and emperor, and he was actually very calm.

Obviously, he thinks that he has mastered the big truth, after all, he is rich and rich, and he has dealt with many Hongru, although he is young, but his knowledge is far from being comparable to ordinary Bai Ding.

Li Shimin looked at Li Tai complicatedly: "Huh? ”

Li Taidao: "The Sima clan is because of the support of people like the Deng clan, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty acted perversely, not only brutalizing the people, but also alienating the people, so he caused the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people. A group of ignorant grass people, they know what the truth, to govern the world, as long as they rely on those benevolent, righteous and filial piety clans. Didn't my father do that? If not, why is this court full of the children of the world, if I don't have the support of these people, how can I have today's prosperity? Those ignorant grass people, who don't even know right and wrong, who don't know how to read, and naturally don't know what loyalty is, such people, even if they have hands and feet, but they are like cattle and horses, and they only need to use the art of the people to drive them. ”

Li Taikankan, the more he said, the more excited he became: "My Tang Dynasty can make the world stable, and it is already a great kindness to them, if they are also extraordinarily gracious, they will become more and more lazy and ignorant. But what about the grass people? They were sent up to the embankment, but they went over the wall to avoid the servants. The government is helping the people, but some of the people are gathering to become chaotic people, attacking and killing officials, and the ministers are extremely lenient to them, but these shameless people who do not know etiquette and righteousness still do not know the height of the sky, if they are not treated harshly, then the world will have to be in chaos. ”

These words are actually very reasonable.

At least in the court, many people think so.

In fact, this is also understandable.

After all, if you are Li Tai, or other relatives of the imperial family, standing in front of you, on one side are people like the Deng family, they are gentle and elegant, they speak wittily, and they are also polite and polite, which makes people yearn for it. And standing on the other side, there are people who are dirty and smelly, they don't understand anything you say, and if you quote scriptures, they are also wooden and have no feelings. You tell them loyalty, they only touch their belly vulgarly, every day is only two meals of gruel, between you and him, the skin color is different, the language is not understood, these people in front of you, except for the same as you, is walking on two feet, there is almost no common ground, when you govern the place, they also make some trouble every now and then, to deal with these people, the so-called education you are good at, will not work at all, they will only be deterred by your majesty, once your majesty loses its effect, Then they will catch the lice on your body, and they will be rude to you.

Because of this, it is not difficult to choose whether to choose Deng Wensheng or these Diao people and untouchables.

Such a theory may be difficult for people to accept in later generations, except for a small number of so-called pretentious people. But in this era, there is a huge market, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a consensus.

Even Li Shimin, although he can say that water can carry a boat and can overturn a boat, but how can he not have such a mind, but he is the Son of Heaven, so such words cannot be expressed explicitly.

Otherwise, how did the so-called emperor's imperial art that had been circulated the year before come to the market?

It's just that......

If Li Shimin hadn't seen the dry bones along the way, and hadn't seen the woman who was requisitioned, he might not agree with Li Tai, at least, he would have felt that Li Tai's words had some truth.

But at this time, Li Shimin's mind suddenly thought of what he saw and heard along the way.

Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, he is a person who has led the soldiers, and his heart is like iron and stone.

But at this time, this heart of steel is also melting slightly.

He closed his eyes, and there was a little sadness in his heart.

The corners of his eyes are still a little moist, but the moist corners of his eyes are the same, but the heart that sighs for them has changed.

Li Tai raised his head and looked very serious: "Erchen doesn't know what my father saw and heard along the way. The sons also don't know what Chen Zhengtai said in front of his father. It's just that the sons have only one thing to implore their father. Today, Chen Zhengtai killed Mr. Deng without permission, once the news of this matter came out, and his father was here, but he turned a blind eye, then people like Deng in the world are afraid that they will be chilled. Is the father only for a few despicable people, but to chill the hearts of the people in the world? The son's words are for the Tang Dynasty, and he implores his father to make a painful decision to calm the hearts of the people. ”

Li Tai's words are categorical.

In this hall, there was a solemnity.

Everyone stared at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin said suddenly: "Qingque...... O green sparrow......"

This should have been a graceful and dignified king, and he was full of confidence at all times.

But at this moment, Li Shimin just opened his mouth, but he lost his voice, his voice was hoarse, and he only read two sentences, and suddenly it was like a fish in his throat, and he couldn't say the words in the back.

Li Tai looked at his father, and at this time he couldn't help but feel something, and said, "Father, the emperor ......."

"Qingque ......" Li Shimin took a deep breath and continued: "Do you really want me to deal with Chen Zhengtai?

Li Tai was just about to speak.

Li Shimin waved his hand weakly: "You don't have to say it anymore, now listen to me." ”

Li Shimin stared at Li Tai deeply, and he was sad: "Since you were born, I named you Li Tai, which means that the country and the people are safe, which is my expectation for you and the world." At that time, I was still fighting in the east and west, and I was non-stop for the sake of the country's peace and security. What you said is not wrong, I am the Son of Heaven, and I should have the skill of controlling the people, driving the people, and laying the foundation of my Tang Dynasty. ”

"But ......" Li Shimin gritted his teeth and looked at Li Tai, tears in his eyes were about to flow out again, he is still a person who values feelings after all, in the annals of history, there are many records of Li Shimin's tears, Chen Zhengtai standing aside doesn't know if these records are true, but at least now, Li Shimin looks like he can't restrain his emotions, Li Shimin choked up, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "But you have no conscience, you have read books for so many years, have you only learned this art of imperial people?" ”

Li Tai was stunned for a moment, he never expected that his father would make such a judgment on himself, he had a bad thought in his heart, and tried his best to argue: "Father ......"

"Shut up!" Li Shimin looked at him fiercely, put away his tears, and sneered at him: "Do you know, why did I cry?" I tell you that this is because I have raised my son for so many years, and I now know that he has no heart or lungs. I was thinking about him becoming a talent, and what he was thinking about was such a wolf-hearted thing. Go out and see, see what the rebellious people you have come to be, and see how far your minions have become. You have read so many poetry books in vain, and you have learned those so-called etiquette in vain. Is that what your love is? If you lose your heart, what difference is it from a pig or a dog? ”

"The so-called truths you said made me scratch my heart, and every word was in my heart, making me feel ashamed. I am crying that I have no son, and one of my sons is gone. When Li Shimin said this, his face was miserable, and he muttered over and over again: "One of my sons is gone, there is no ......."

Li Tai was already shocked in his heart, he knew that his father's words seemed to be full of feelings, but to what extent was it ruthless, Li Tai still felt that his great truth, even many Hongru have agreed, naturally he can convince his father, where did he think that his father was indifferent to this.

Li Tai was busy bowing down: "Father, son, ten thousand deaths." ”

"I don't have a son." Li Shimin suddenly shed tears on his clothes, and then gritted his teeth, his red eyes looked at Li Tai coldly, at this moment, there was no expression on his face: "Li Tai, I want to ask you now, I want you to control Yang and Yue 21 Prefectures, I originally hoped that you could supervise the people here, but you are harboring evil intentions, jackals are sincere, instructing minions, and cruelty to the people so far, if I don't see it today, I am afraid that it is unimaginable, you are young, and your wolf heart and dog lungs are so much." Up to now, you are still defending people like Deng Wensheng and opening your eyes for him, it can be seen that you still have not repented so far, you ...... What is the crime? ”

Li Shimin scolded sharply, which made Li Tai, who had worshiped the ground, even more shocked in his heart, and then panicked.

He looked forward to Ai Ai and said, "Father, please listen to me." ”

"What are you, why do I want to listen to your gossip here to confuse the public?" Li Shimin didn't have the slightest expression on his face, and these words popped out from between his teeth.

"Father!" Li Tai was heartbroken, and at this moment, he actually had a little inexplicable fear.
