Chapter 444: Li Jiancheng is not good as an emperor
A glass of wine after a glass of wine, Li Shimin, who was accompanied by Li Zhan, was very happy, and just when this wine was about to end, Li Shimin looked at Li Zhan and asked, "Zhan'er, can you tell your father about Li Jiancheng?"
If he becomes emperor, will he be better than me? ”
At this time, Li Zhan's heart was groaning... Because Li Zhan knew that he wanted to say Li Jiancheng to the point, he couldn't say Li Jiancheng too well, but he couldn't blindly say Li Jiancheng too badly.
Everyone has watched a lot of film and television dramas, in these TV series, Li Jiancheng is a stupid idiot, and the emperor at that time, Li Yuan, was an eccentric father, and finally forced King Qin to turn against his brother in order to save his life, and finally becoming the emperor is the biggest compensation for him.
This is actually fake at all, in fact, the first crown prince of the early Tang Dynasty is not a mediocre figure, his political level and military vision may not be as good as Li Shimin, that is only because the King of Qin at that time had too many opportunities to fight, and the vision and strategy exercised in practice are not envied by him, the crown prince, as the heir of the country, he is destined to have no such opportunity, because he is too important, so he can only be protected by the strictest. But his political vision and methods were greatly admired even by his father.
Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng met each other, and the most important thing was the curse of all emperors, that is, the emperor has always been wary of the crown prince.
Because the Jinyang incident and planning were all Li Jiancheng's ideas, this also shows that this eldest son has a certain skill and overall view.
But because of this matter, Li Yuan has always been careful about Li Jiancheng, just like Li Chengqian now, the better Li Jiancheng behaves, in fact. The more worried Li Yuan became, at this time, Li Yuan was going to start balancing, and Li Shimin became Li Yuan's best means of restraining Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuan did not control the growth of Li Shimin's forces.
Let Li Shimin's forces and the prince's forces confront each other.
It's just that what Li Yuan didn't expect was that by the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, although the crown prince was still the monarch in the minds of him and his ministers, and he also had his own skills and charm, the power of King Qin had matured and was difficult to shake.
And because Li Shimin has been fighting for many years, the fierce generals and strategists around him have become unified, and they also have other thoughts, speaking of which people's hearts are like this, if the rebellion is successful, it will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and the person with the greatest merit will not get the award he deserves... Then you will fight for it yourself.
Even if Li Shimin really doesn't have the idea of competing for the throne, the people below are unwilling. I'm afraid Li Jiancheng knows these very well in his heart.
It's just that Li Yuan didn't think much about this. He just wanted to balance the forces of the two brothers, so that they could be in their respective positions. But neither of the brothers did what their father wanted.
In fact, Li Yuanji was still very loyal to the prince at that time, and once advised him to take some action against Li Shimin, he meant to make a decision immediately, and turn the second brother into a dead man once and for all.
Of course, the crown prince also listened to his opinion and consciously did some acts to resist the forces of King Qin. But this prince Jiancheng and their father Li Yuan are really father and son, just as gentle and soft-hearted.
In order to show his importance to the crown prince, Li Yuan also warned Li Shimin that he could kill King Qin's henchmen ruthlessly and let him not act rashly.
But the prince was unwilling to really kill his own brother, and he didn't even poison it with an immediate fatal poison, so that Li Shimin escaped.
He thought that such a warning would make his younger brother more obedient, but unfortunately, he was very wrong.
Just when Li Jiancheng was still unbearable, and when Li Yuan was still worried about how to balance the relationship between the two brothers, Li Shimin was already determined not to wait any longer, he was a hero, how could he not grasp his future.
As a result, the blood in front of the Xuanwu Gate was surging to the sky, and the result of fratricidal brotherhood was that the prince was finally truly liberated, and he no longer had to have many contradictions for the throne and family affection.
After thinking for a while, Li Zhan said slowly: "Father, if Li Jiancheng is the emperor, he will definitely not do better than you...!" ”
"Oh... How to say, in detail. Li Shimin looked at Li Zhandao with some expectation.
"Hmm...!" Li Zhan nodded and said: "The main reason for this is the family, first of all, the world belongs to the people, not the family, if Li Jiancheng becomes the emperor, he will mainly rely on the family, which will enhance the status of the family in disguise."
In this way, the equality of the people will be suppressed at all.
The Tang Dynasty is built by the people, and the nobles of the family can only add icing on the cake, they are not the cornerstone of the Tang Dynasty, so maybe Li Jiancheng will rely on the family to get a temporary peace, but after a long time, it will be like the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it will decline because of the family. ”
Li Zhan is very smart, he didn't say that Li Jiancheng was good, nor did he say that Li Jiancheng was bad, he cut out from another angle, and said some of Li Shimin's thoughts about the family, and soon, when Li Zhan finished speaking, Li Shimin on the side nodded frequently and said: "Zhan'er, what you said is right, yes, this is the fundamental...!" ”
After speaking, Li Shimin smiled again, Li Zhan knew that he had once again said Li Shimin's thoughts, so that Li Shimin's heart knot should be untied today, and next, Li Shimin was about to start moving.
"It's not too early for my father, and my son is going to retire...!" Li Zhan got up.
Li Shimin smiled: "Hmm... Today, you talk to me and let me get something! After speaking, Li Shimin got up, then came to the desk, picked up a brush and wrote a line of words on a piece of paper, father is kind and filial piety!
Then Li Shimin said with a smile: "You are not short of money, and you have more good things than your father, so your father writes you a pair of words, which is considered a reward from your father!" ”
"Thank you, Father...!" Li Zhan laughed and said, "Father's words are good-looking. ”
was praised by his son, Li Shimin smiled: "It's good if you like it, by the way, I heard that you are ready to get married behind Cheng Qian, wait... When the time comes, I will give my daughter-in-law a big gift. ”
"But father, you have to think about it, you have to have three daughters-in-law."
Li Shimin laughed and said, "No problem...!" By the way, call the eldest grandson Wuji and them in, I have to discuss some things with them! ”
"Yes..!" After speaking, Li Zhan bowed down and left the Manna Hall with a smile.
As soon as Li Zhan came out of the Manna Palace, he was immediately surrounded by a group of people outside, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Ma Zhou... Seeing Li Zhan come out, he immediately asked, "How is Your Majesty?" ”
Li Zhan looked at everyone and smiled: "There is no problem, however, King Han does not ask for mercy...!" ”
"Who will intercede, we are all going to execute the King of Han." The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said.
It's just that Li Zhan shook his head and said: "You can't ask for execution, King Han's charges can't be announced, the execution is a bit unrealistic, you can ask King Han to be banned, if not, you have to find other evidence of King Han's crimes." ”
"Ahh Li Zhan's words made the eldest grandson Wuji nod a little understanding.
Then I listened to the eldest grandson Wuji said: "Let's go in together, Li Zhan will give us the way, let's not go around...!" ”
Fang Xuanling, Ma Zhou and the others nodded one by one, and then the group went in, but just when Li Chengqian was about to go in, he was dragged out by Li Zhan.
