"You kid doesn't know the point of dissipation, and the deposed prince doesn't know the slightest repentance. Instead, the idea of coming here to beat the palace maid next to your queen mother came. At this time, Li Shimin walked into the Lizheng Hall and said.

Seeing Li Shimin coming, Li Chengqian hurriedly took two steps forward. Stretched out his hand to support Li Shimin and said, "Father, slow down, don't trip somewhere and fall." ”

Originally, seeing Li Chengqian coming to support him, Li Shimin was quite happy in his heart. But hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin was angry.

However, Empress Changsun burst out laughing, and then said to Li Shimin: "It is estimated that you have no way to deal with him in this life." ”

"Look at what the queen mother said, and those who don't know still think that the son is a great rebel. In fact, in the minds of the sons, the image of the father and the emperor is always glorious and magnificent. Li Chengqian said with an exaggerated expression.

Li Shimin knew that if he continued to argue with Li Chengqian, he would definitely suffer in the end. So he sat down beside Empress Changsun and asked Li Chengqian with a straight face: "I have abolished your crown prince, can I resent me in my heart?" ”

"Father, if my father had abolished his son's position as the crown prince a long time ago. It is estimated that now Erchen has a lot of money. Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"See, I'll just say that this kid doesn't have the crown prince in his eyes at all. You're worried that you'll hurt his motivation. Li Shimin opened his mouth and said to Empress Changsun.

Empress Eldest Sun also looked helpless, and asked Li Chengqian: "Can you tell the queen mother, what kind of life do you want to live?" ”

Hearing the words of Empress Changsun, Li Chengqian suddenly remembered a book he had read in later generations. The protagonist of that book is also Li Chengqian.

So he casually recited one of the poems:

Thousands of acres of fertile land are backed by mountains and rivers,

The father is a high-ranking official and the son is a denko.

wives and concubines have many children and grandchildren,

Immortality is always alive.

(Excerpt from the first Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty.) ）

Hearing Li Chengqian read this poem, Li Shimin couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart. looked at Li Chengqian with disbelief.

After a long time, he asked, "Do you really want to cultivate immortals?" ”

Hearing Li Shimin ask Li Chengqian if he wanted to cultivate immortals, this frightened Empress Changsun. Since ancient times, people who have cultivated immortals must have a pure heart and few desires, doesn't that mean that Li Chengqian intends to become a monk and cultivate.

So he hurriedly said to Li Chengqian: "You can't think nonsense, asking for immortals to ask for the sun to rise is tantamount to watching flowers in the mirror and looking at the moon in the water." ”

Li Chengqian didn't expect that a poem he plagiarized at random would make his father and mother so nervous.

However, Li Chengqian was not ready to explain, but said wrongly: "Father, mother." Erchen was not ready to ask the immortal to ask, but this did not mean that Erchen could not live forever. ”

"Don't go around in circles there, if you have anything to say, just say it." Li Shimin glared at Li Chengqian and said.

"Father, I remember that my son was in a coma. During the time he was in a coma, Erchen seemed to have gone through the whole process of starting from nothing. It can even be said that it has gone through countless reincarnations. ”

This made Erchen understand one thing, that is, fame and fortune are just a passing moment. Although asking for immortals asked, it was like a mirror. ”

"But immortality does not necessarily mean immortality, after all, no one can truly live immortal. Therefore, to be able to make a name for eternity is truly eternal. Li Chengqian started talking serious nonsense.

"From ancient times to the present, the names of the eternal are either emperors or princes and generals. I haven't heard of a common man who can be talked about by future generations. ”

"If you want to be famous for eternity, why do you disdain these thousands of miles of rivers?" Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked Li Chengqian.

"Father, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are important. But I don't know what my father thinks, who is the owner of these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains? Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Needless to say, the master of these thousands of miles is of course your father. Don't you even know such a superficial question? Empress Changsun said to Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "Queen Mother, my father is everything in your heart. In the minds of the sons, it is the sky, as long as the father is there, the sky will never fall. ”

"But my father is not the master of these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the masters of these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are the people of the world. Only the people are qualified to own these thousands of miles. ”

"From Pangu Kaitian Nuwa to the creation of people, to the rule of the three emperors and the five emperors Dinglun. Then there are Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou, Spring and Autumn, Warring States, Qin, Western Han, Eastern Han, Three Kingdoms, Western Jin, Eastern Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui, and even today's Tang Dynasty. ”

"There have been many ups and downs and changes of dynasties, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the people of the world. Therefore, the master of this world is naturally the people. ”

It can be said that in feudal society, Li Chengqian's words are no different from the great rebellion. If a minister speaks out, it may even lead to death.

But when it came out of Li Chengqian's mouth, Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded. Then he said, "How can the people of the world not know the importance of it. ”

"So the relationship between the emperor and the people is that the king is the boat, the people are the water, and the water can both carry the boat and overturn the boat."

"It took me more than 20 years to figure it out. You can figure it out at such a young age. It seems that it is not a wise move to depose your crown prince. ”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help but secretly say that it was not good. The consequences of his own trickery are very likely to let him go back to his original destiny trajectory.

So he hurriedly spoke: "My father praised it, and it took me more than twenty years to figure it out." But Erchen experienced starting from nothing in a dream before he figured it out. This shows how big the difference is between the father and the son. ”

Li Shimin nodded and asked Li Chengqian: "Now you are no longer the crown prince of the dynasty, but an idle and leisurely virtuous king. I wonder what you're going to do next? ”

Now the sons finally don't have to listen to the government with the court, listen to those pedantic old stubbornness, and buzz in the ears of the sons. Erchen naturally wants to enjoy life. Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"If you don't have great ambitions, how can you shoulder heavy responsibilities." Li Shimin said with a gloomy face.

Originally, when he heard Li Chengqian's high-minded remarks, Li Shimin was very appreciative in his heart. However, Li Chengqian's final answer disappointed Li Shimin.

Seeing Li Shimin's disappointed expression, Li Chengqian's hanging heart finally let go. couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "When I talk to this old man in the future, I really have to pay attention to proportion." ”

At this time, the Shangshi Bureau sent the meal to the Lizheng Palace. As soon as they put the dishes on the table, Li Chengqian's face changed.

Li Chengqian took two steps forward and looked at the food on the table, and then said, "You just eat these for your father and queen mother all day long?" ”
