It is a person who has distant and close relatives, which has nothing to do with deep feelings, no matter how much his biological son hates his teeth, others will come out to protect the calf if they want to harm him, almost a subconscious choice, without any hesitation. The courtiers who are www.biquge.info appreciated by the pen "Fun" Pavilion are not blood relatives after all, and they always have a layer of precautions before saying or doing anything.

So Li Shimin was speechless, he knew that Li Su was telling the truth, if there was no tangible evidence, Li Su ran over and told him that your son wanted to rebel against you, it is estimated that Li Shimin's first reaction was to chop up this guy who was confusing the public with a knife. Besides, all the topics of the heavenly royal family are very sensitive, even if they are as high as the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, etc., when it comes to topics such as "throne" and "prince", they are all habitually slap-ha, and he is talking about him left and right, because this kind of topic is very fatal, and it is not pleasing to say that it is good or bad, and it is very easy to get involved in the rights and wrongs of the heavenly family.

Ordinary royal topics are so sensitive, let alone a more fatal topic like the prince's rebellion? No one who loves life would be stupid enough to say this in front of the emperor.

Glancing at Li Su stupidly, Li Shimin snorted and said, "Hou Junji was comforted by you, turned against him, and realized that he was lost, and I really want to thank you." ”

Li Su hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare to be, the minister is timid, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense, but the minister should have his duty or have it, General Hou is just jealous and obsessed for a while, even if the minister doesn't persuade him, he will inevitably wake up when he is in battle, and the minister really doesn't dare to take credit." ”

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "I think about this matter carefully, I really want to thank you, you don't understand the weight of Hou Junji in the Tang Army, there are only a few founding heroes who followed me to fight the country, Hou Junji is one of them, and his old officials are so many in the army, if the prince rebels against the critical time, Hou Junji ascends and shouts, the consequences are only afraid of not small, and it will not be so easily pacified, if the chaos in Chang'an cannot be quickly calmed down, wait for time, the world will be chaotic, you persuade Hou Junji to restrain the horse from the precipice, and make a great contribution." ”

Li Sulian didn't dare.

Li Shimin glanced at him and sighed leisurely: "I've known you for seven or eight years, right?" When I first saw you, you were just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old hairy child, seven or eight years later, you are in your twenties, and you are still a hairy boy, with a shy face all day long, uncles and uncles, but I all buy it......"

Li Su's cheeks twitched, and he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty...... This is not called 'shy and tender face', the minister is very tender ......"

"Shut up! It's getting shameless and shameless! Li Shimin snorted, glared at him fiercely, and said: "It's been seven or eight years, and I'm still in my twenties, those princes in the court, the county dukes, not to mention the big beards, the age of hugging grandchildren, but you little bastard is still so young, Zizheng, after all, the court is still a place to talk about seniority, you have made countless meritorious contributions to me, and now you have been named the county marquis, this title is not worthy of your contribution to me, but you are so young, the true religion is embarrassed, and the hair on your mouth has not grown a few roots, and you are the prince of the county or something, I'm afraid it's not very suitable, right? ”

Li Su hurriedly said: "County marquis, Your Majesty, the county marquis is very good, the minister likes the county marquis, that's all, don't change it." ”

Li Shimin thought for a while, and said helplessly: "Then you can live well, stay in the court for a few more years, stay up until you grow a lot of beard on your face, and you are in your thirties, I will give you another county principality, and you can block the mouths of the people of the world if you say it." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin's eyelids drooped, and he suddenly showed a sad look, and said: "Perhaps, the person who will promote you in the future is no longer me......

Li Su was taken aback and said, "Why did Your Majesty say this? ”

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't know what he was thinking, and said: "I have been the emperor for seventeen years, in these seventeen years, I have asked myself to be a good emperor, at least for the people of the Tang Dynasty, I am a good emperor, these years to open up territory, build rivers and support farmers, internal can accept the criticism of subjects, and the outside can accommodate foreign races, through the ages, the emperor's mind, I am not inferior to anyone, although I dare not call myself a 'holy monarch', but at least I am not a faint monarch, Zizheng, my words are not bragging, right?" ”

Li Su hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is the Holy Monarch of the Ages, and the subjects of the world are fortunate to be born at the right time. ”

Li Shimin's expression gradually became sad, and he sighed: "However, I am by no means a good father, I am a father...... What a failure! Fourteen children were born, some were cruel, some were greedy, some were cowardly, some were ill-intentioned, my eldest son, the future heir to the throne, actually secretly plotted against me, these days I have been introspecting and reflecting, what have I done wrong to my children over the years? Why is it that the filial piety of fathers and sons, which ordinary people can achieve, has become an unattainable luxury here in me? ”

"Cheng Qian rebelled and stabbed a knife in my heart, and my heart is still trembling with pain. I suddenly discovered that what society has been in for thousands of years, what has been in the world, and what has been in history through the ages...... I lost all interest, I just felt disheartened, and all my thoughts were gone......"

As Li Shimin spoke, his eyes turned red, and he said in a choked voice: "I ...... It's exhausting. ”

Li Su pursed his lips and held his breath, listening quietly to Li Shimin's story, looking at this Tian Khan, who was only in his forties and showing a desolate and old color, at this moment, he suddenly didn't feel that this famous emperor had anything remarkable at all, the only thing was deep pity for this failed father.

The sad thing is not that I failed, but that I didn't even know the reason after the failure, and I still felt that I had done my best. Li Shimin's education and attitude towards his children are very ridiculous and absurd, and he has only two responsibilities to his children, one is to have fine clothes and food, and the other is to supervise and urge them to study...... It's a pity that an emperor who even needs to be arranged by eunuchs around him when he gets together with his children really has no concept of this.

The princes are already honorable, and they are not afraid of heaven and earth, except for the father who can only see one side occasionally, who else in the world can restrain them? Coupled with the age of ten or twenty years old, all the power, beauty and money in the world are the most tempting period for them, and after being tempted by these things, they naturally gradually fall into addiction, and then they are out of control.

So this father's failure is inevitable, the gods can't help it, it's hard to say, this is just childbearing, regardless of upbringing, what kind of good goods can be taught in such an environment?

Of course, it is impossible for Li Su to say these thoughts in front of Li Shimin, this Heavenly Khan's mind is definitely not as broad as the sea as he boasts, and the courtiers have said the wrong thing, and they must be killed.

After thinking about it, Li Su persuaded: "Your Majesty, people's hearts are insatiable, it is normal feelings, ordinary people live an ordinary life, there is no so-called power, money and beauty, they have nothing to fight for, naturally the father is kind and filial piety, Your Majesty is different, Your Majesty sits on the whole country, the princes get too many things from Your Majesty, people's hearts are like this, the more you get, the more you feel dissatisfied......"

"Can't get enough of it?"

"Yes, the Chen's family was just an ordinary farmer, and then became an official, did a few transactions, the family had money, Chen's father thought about how to turn the family's money into land all day long, and now the Chen's family has thousands of acres of fertile land, almost half of Taiping Village is my Li family's land, but my father still feels that the land is not enough, and still feels that there is too little left for future generations, and now he has begun to fight the idea of land in neighboring villages...... Your Majesty, people's desires are growing little by little, after having enough food and clothing, what they want must be brocade clothes and jade food, Your Majesty's princes are born with brocade clothes and jade food, servants are like clouds, they naturally want more things, when money and beauty cannot satisfy them, what will they want next? ”

Li Shimin thoughtfully: "Power? ”

Li Su smiled: "Yes, power, power is the most tempting thing in the world, it may just be a sentence written on paper, blurted out two words, or even maybe just a look, a single tone from the nostrils, see the person who hears it, he is silent, terrified, sacrifice his life and death, money and beauty are at his fingertips, Your Majesty, do you say that power is beautiful?" Do you want it? ”

The words are not thorough, but once they are thorough, they are like a fat young woman who has stripped off her clothes, and her impressive posture that was originally wrapped in her clothes looks so bloated and ugly, and it is unsightly.

Li Shimin's hands resting on the table suddenly trembled slightly, and his gaze at Li Su was like a sharp sword piercing his heart.

"The words are the truth, but they don't sound good, Zizheng, what do you want to say?"

Li Su said with a smile: "What the minister wants to say is that Your Majesty does not need to blame yourself, the prince's rebellion is really a desire for power, and it has nothing to do with His Majesty's education for many years. ”

Li Shimin stared at him for a long time, and said slowly: "The hairy boy in his twenties has analyzed people's hearts so meticulously and thoroughly, like a hermit Confucianism who has been married for half his life. ”

Li Su was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "I forgot to say just now, people who are difficult to fill the desire often end up not very well, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you might as well read the words of the ancient historians to see which one can die well, the minister is a timid person, he just wants to live honestly to the age of a hundred, no illness and no disaster, and he will die right, so the 'power' thing, can be kept away or as far away as possible, too close to it will have disaster." ”

Li Shimin looked up at the beams on the roof of the palace, and said leisurely: "If all my princes think like you, how good it would be, no worries about food and clothing, no disputes, father and son are filial piety, brothers and brothers are respectful...... Zizheng, among the thousands of people in the world, you still live the most clearly. ”

Li Su smiled: "The minister just understands in his heart, but he lives in a daze." ”
