Chapter 318: Asking the National Policy and Answering the World
"Yu'er, I ask you, why is the country?"
As soon as he finished talking about the fishermen, Li Shimin changed his words and asked Li Fangchen a difficult question.
In Li Fangchen's view, this kind of question often has deep meaning.
"Erchen feels that the home of a country is for everyone. A country of all is a great country. ”
Where do you understand this, blind, Li Fangchen casually said nonsense, and planned to deal with things.
Li Shimin couldn't help but smile, "Avoid the important and light, if you don't say it, I will throw you into the lake." ”
Li Tai's eyes were inevitably a little curious, is his father planning to take the second brother of the school? Could it be that the second brother has a chance to get the crown prince?
Although he also has the intention of competing for the position in his heart, he knows how to give way to Xian.
If the second brother does not fight, he will fight, and if the second brother fights, he will be the most powerful supporter of the second brother.
The second brother has been so kind to himself over the years, if he fights with the second brother, how should he deal with himself in the future?
Sometimes, Li Tai suspects that the queen mother should have made him and his second brother twins, look at the prince brother, what do you have in common with the second brother?
Li Fangchen looked at the lake blankly and thought carefully about Li Shimin's question.
"Territory, people, culture, and rulers are the nations that come together!"
"Rulers? Is that interesting? I don't know who is the ruler of your mouth? ”
Li Fangchen looked at the lake, "It can be one person or a group of people." ”
"Alone? A group of people? ”
Li Shimin thought that what Li Fangchen was referring to should be related to the court and the emperor's position.
Is there anything wrong with a one-man emperor and a group of people's court?
Li Shimin asked again: "Then do you want to be that person, or one of those people?" ”
Li Tai's eyelids jumped next to him, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, "Did you start so soon?" If the prince knew, would he burst into tears? ”
Li Fangchen didn't know the vicious thoughts in Li Tai's heart, but answered Li Shimin's question very comfortably.
"Of course it's one of a group of people, if someone stands up for Erchen when the sky falls, why not?"
Li Tai sighed slightly, Second brother, I'm afraid you don't know what you did wrong, right?
Disappointment flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, but fortunately he quickly hid it.
When I sat back, I didn't have much interest in fishing.
The left hand was raised, pointing forward, and the dragon's mouth opened slightly, "Sit!" ”
Li Fangchen hurriedly knelt down and sat down, judging from Li Shimin's demeanor, it was obvious that he was going to have a game of monarchs and ministers.
"I ask you, how do you treat the people?"
"Open the wisdom of the people, set the law, and benefit the people!"
"What's the explanation?"
"Opening up the wisdom of the people can enable the people to know the etiquette and the law; The law may make the people know what can be done and what cannot be done, so that there will be no trouble; If you get the benefits of the people and make the people benefit, the beneficiaries will be loyal to them, so as to avoid the struggle for power. ”
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help asking: "It is still understandable to benefit the people, but why is this people's wisdom put in the first place?" ”
Li Fangchen arched his hand and said: "Father, can the emperor know that if the people are stupid, the country will be foolish, and if the people are poor, the country will be poor?" ”
Li Shimin shook his head slightly, "There is a saying in the Analects, the people can make it, but they can't make it known, how do you explain it?" ”
Obviously, I don't agree with the fact that the whole people are open-minded.
Although he also hopes for the rise of the Hanmen, he must also control it within a certain range. If all the people are readers, it is inevitable that there will be a feeling of uncontrollability in the heart.
Li Fangchen sighed and said: "This topic has not changed for thousands of years. You can't make it, you know it. What does my father want? ”
It seems that every traverser will encounter this kind of problem, and the strategy of fooling the people is because of the over-interpretation of a sentence?
Hundreds of schools of thought contend, the foundation of the world, when can we see it?
One is that the people can only make them into labor, but not in their knowledge.
The other, Li Fangchen explained loudly: "People: if you can make it, you can do it, and if you make it free, you can do it; If it cannot be made, then it will be edified, so that it will be known, and it will be made known, and it will be made to conscience. ”
Even if Li Shimin could understand the meaning, Li Fangchen still chose to interpret it again.
It made Li Tai behind him shocked, and couldn't help asking: "Second brother, is this true?" Is there really something missing from the Analects? ”
Li Fangchen asked rhetorically: "The point of breaking a sentence is the slightest mistake, and its meaning is thousands of miles away!" ”
A thousand miles away!
Li Shimin's heart was shaken, and his face was a little lost, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and continue to ask: "If this is the case, do I really want to enlighten the people?" Benefiting the people? ”
Li Fangchen nodded, "Only when the family controls the books, can they be passed down to all generations." If everyone in the people is knowledgeable, how many generations can I pass on? ”
It's unimaginable, Li Shimin had no choice but to speak: "This matter can be discussed later, I still have a question!" ”
"Father, please ask."
"How can the Tang Dynasty be immortal for thousands of generations?"
Perhaps, this is the ambition of every monarch?
Li Fangchen quickly gave the answer, "Inheritance! ”
"What?"
"Legacy! It will be immortal for thousands of generations! ”
"You mean?"
Li Fangchen pointed to the surface of the lake and looked at the fish in the lake, "Like the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, although they have their own shortcomings, their exploits will be sung by generations of people in the world." Emperor Qin ruled the world, ended the troubled times, and the Han Dynasty swept the Quartet, setting the heart of the Han people. Father, why don't you be the first person? ”
The first person?
Li Shimin's heart was slightly touched, and he hurriedly said: "Speak!" ”
"Build an immortal country, establish an immortal honor, be admired by future generations, and be sung in the history books!"
"Good!"
At this point, Li Shimin couldn't help but applaud, these words really spoke to his heart.
Why do you want to fight for power, because he is confident that he can do better than the original hidden prince Li Jiancheng.
Every time I see Li Fangchen, I have a feeling of seeing myself.
The crown prince Li Chengqian is neither arrogant nor rash, although there is nothing eye-catching, but there is nothing wrong with him.
It is more in line with the golden mean that the prince should have, otherwise the prince jumps up and down like King Qin every day, and he Li Shimin will not sleep well.
Therefore, he wanted to see the desire for power in Li Fangchen's eyes many times. It was also good for him to compete with the crown prince, and finally handed over the throne to Li Fangchen, the king of Qin.
Maybe he thinks that Li Fangchen is himself when he was young, right?
Now, a pair of wheels has completely broken through the darkness in his heart.
What is Li Jiancheng? Can he compare to Emperor Qin and Han Wu?
Does he still stand a chance to match the two?
In the past, sitting in a high position, Li Shimin was not only worried about national affairs, but also examined himself.
In the face of the constant compliments from hundreds of officials, he seemed to forget what he wanted to do.
I still remember that when he first registered, he put down his pride in his heart and was determined to create a peaceful and prosperous world.
To let his father see that he Li Shimin is not only not inferior to Li Jiancheng, but even better than him.
What Li Shimin wants to do is to be an emperor through the ages, and he wants to become the heaviest stroke in the history books!
"Yu'er, if I allow you to take the throne of Qin, you will have to assume the responsibility of the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, do you know why after me, you are the King of Qin?"
