Chapter 171: The Crown Prince Chengqian
Seeing Li Chengqian's smile a little stiff, Lu Zhe knew that seeing his father speak so highly of him, the prince was a little upset with himself.
Another rebellious troubled teenager. Lu Zhe was secretly frightened, and secretly thought about countermeasures in his heart.
The reason why Lu Zhe thinks this way is that Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, is likely to suffer from a serious mental disorder, which is externally manifested as arrogant mania and jealousy, and the internal reason may be inferiority complex and long-term depression.
And from the ruthlessness that flashed in the prince's eyes, Lu Zhe knew that this prince must be unhappy with himself in his heart.
Regarding the character of Li Chengqian, the historical performance can be described as a two-level division, ten years before Zhenguan, benevolence and filial piety, virtuousness, bravery, respect for teachers, almost all the words about the virtuous prince gathered on him. And after ten years of Zhenguan, the wolf's ambition, pampering the male pet, arrogance and lasciviousness, absurdity, wolf ambition, etc., are simply unbelievable. It is said that he was still dressed as a Hun in the palace, and in the Central Plains Dynasty, which regarded the Hu people as a great enemy, the prince did such a thing, and finally plotted to rebel, which is simply not a son of man.
This can't help but make people wonder what happened in the ten years of Zhenguan that made this virtuous, brave, martial and filial prince change so drastically.
In the tenth year of Zhenguan, that is, next year, a big event did happen. This incident not only made the crown prince Li Chengqian judge the two of them and completely abolished, but also made Li Shimin's spirit of admonishment decline, and at the same time, he became more and more arrogant, frequently went out of the palace to hunt, and no longer loved the people like children, and frequently used a large number of manpower, conquered Goryeo in the east, and fought against Qiuzi in the west, which caused the dissatisfaction of the ministers and many people in the world.
At the same time, the turning point that made the Li family's father and son abnormal and made Zhenguan's rule begin to decline was the generation of virtuous queens, the eldest grandson Empress died in Zhenguan for ten years.
Without the constant reminders and exhortations of Empress Changsun, the wildfire-like desire in Taizong's heart can no longer be resolved, and Li Chengqian has also lost almost the only place where he can feel warmth, so he will collapse and break the jar.
Li Chengqian's tragedy has reasons for the times and his own character, but in the final analysis, it is the original sin of the Li family, and the retribution will be brought to him (the words of the crane family, I hope you will spray lightly).
The external cause is the result of the special circumstances of the Zhenguan period. At the beginning of the dynasty, the Li family became the lord of the world from a family in Taiyuan, and Li Shimin also became the emperor of Zhenguan from the king of Qin.
In the face of the Tang Dynasty, they always have a sense of anxiety, and the habits of the entrepreneurial team have not been completely shaken off.
This is directly reflected in the fact that the boundary between monarchs and ministers is not as clear as in later generations. They are all old brothers who fight the world together, and now they are working hard for the same goal, coupled with Tang Taizong's policy of humbly accepting advice, so the ministers in the early Tang Dynasty were not trembling in the face of the emperor like later generations, but similar to a kind of entrepreneurial team partner mentality.
And this mentality is also directly reflected in Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian was often trained by his teachers or some important ministers when he was growing up, and in the face of Li Chengqian, who was determined to learn from his father and be a good emperor, it was naturally not easy to say anything.
He didn't dare to say anything, these important ministers who trained him slippery, he had to call his uncle, maybe he was in the imperial study the day before, arguing with his father red-faced, slapping the table and hitting the bench, and talking to his father speechless. He dares to quarrel with Lao Tzu, let alone his son?
Another reason is the education of the people. Zhenguan was in the middle of the dynasty, almost all the luck of the hundred years before and after, a cadre of famous ministers, all of them are famous ministers through the ages, and their abilities are extremely strong, plus Li Shimin is also a hero of the ages, in order to make the country that he has beaten down by his own monarchs and ministers will not be wasted by future generations. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty's requirements for Li Chengqian are almost in accordance with Li Shimin's path, and the requirements for him are extremely high, and if there is a slight mistake, there will be all kinds of education mercilessly, Li Chengqian, the prince, is more miserable than his brother.
There is a small thing that can show how aggrieved Li Chengqian's prince is, Taiji Palace is low, some damp, many people in it have rheumatism, Li Chengqian's house is broken, Li Chengqian wants to renovate it, even if it is an ordinary civilian family, renovating the house is nothing, but because of this incident, Li Chengqian was miserably reprimanded by his own teacher, educating him that the prince should not be arrogant and lascivious, think about the people in the world who can't afford to live in the house, think about how thrifty your parents are, and then forced him to admit his mistake and wrote a review before letting him go, Not only was he scolded for writing a review, but he also had to live in a damp and leaky house.
The problem is, Li Chengqian himself, how to compare with his British father, did not inherit Li Shimin's big heart, at most he can be a master of success, but the expectations of the Tang Dynasty for him are too high, so he is under a lot of pressure, coupled with the heavy minister's hatred of iron and steel, and the merciless education method, it is okay to be seven or eight years old, and now, seventeen or eighteen years old, when he is in the rebellious period, he is still said to be the prince of a country, how can there be no problems.
This is an external problem, and the so-called original sin of the Li family comes from his bloodline.
In ancient China, the marriage of families to each other was not a new thing, it was a common operation between two families, and after the Jin Dynasty and the Wuhu Rebellion of the whole people, the Li family, with the blood of the Hu people, had long been chaotic.
This can be seen from the Li family. Most of the Li family members suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which are commonly known as wind diseases and qi diseases. Li Yuan, Feng Ji, Li Shimin, Qi Disease, Li Lizhi, Qi Disease, Li Chengqian, and even Li Zhi and Li Longji in later generations.
In the last few hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, almost all the descendants of the Li Tang royal family suffered from qi diseases and wind diseases, especially in the early stage, almost everyone had them, and they almost became the symbol of the children of the Li Tang royal family.
Doesn't it sound familiar? The reason for this should be the confusion of blood and the genetic disease caused by the marriage of close relatives.
Because at that time, the upper class only intermarried with the upper class, and the blood repetition rate was very high, counting up several generations, almost all of them could be a family, even if you pay attention to it, it is easy to marry your own nieces and cousins or aunts, and plus the popular cousins and cousins are close to each other, the so-called in the family at that time, there were many dementia and deformities, and the older the family, the more so.
Moreover, the reason why Li Tang has Hu blood, the Hu people are all in the bad habit of marrying their mothers after their father's death, after all, the dirty Tang stinky man is not called in vain. The Li Tang royal family has no obstacles at all to some boundaries across the region, but there are all kinds of beauty.
Na brother and daughter-in-law, Na daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, Na mother concubine, aunt and nephew, uncle and niece are all routine operations, some princesses of the Tang Dynasty, before they got married, and their brothers who have been with each other for a long time, have a special relationship - uh, "intimate". And many princesses, after getting married, have a "very good relationship" with their brothers and nephews, or their husbands and uncles, etc.
The more famous is the king of Wu Li Ke and Princess Gao Yang, the two of them have a half-father, it is said that they once had a very good relationship, and then Gao Yang got married, Li Ke was afraid of being exposed, and stayed away from Gao Yang, and then Gao Yang was angry, so he found a debate opportunity, and when he rebelled, Li Ke was also involved.
Moreover, Empress Changsun married Li Shimin at the age of 13, and gave birth to Li Chengqian early before her body fully grew (I don't know how Li Shimin can do it), plus Li Tang's bloodline itself has problems, how can Li Chengqian's body not have problems, and his foot disease is likely not to be injured by a horseback fall rumored in wild history, but by a genetic disease.
Born with some mental problems, he was wrongly educated, his mother died early, and because of his low self-esteem, he felt that he could not inherit the throne because of his foot disease, so Li Chengqian had a problem in his heart, but it just broke out together with the death of Empress Changsun and the rebellious period.
Lu Zhe even felt that the reason why Li Chengqian, who lacked affirmation, loved the boy so much was nothing more than the feeling that he could get worship and dependence from the heart.
Facts have proved that there is no future for the foundation. Thinking that after being executed, Li Chengqian completely collapsed, thinking that the world was disappointed in him, and he had no hope of inheriting the empire and had to take risks and rebel and be abolished.
As everyone knows, the more mentally ill people are, the more sensitive they are to the people around them. Li Chengqian sensitively noticed the change in Lu Zhe's gaze at him, and automatically translated Lu Zhe's sympathy into disdain and ridicule in his heart, thinking that this Lu Zhe, who was proficient in the art of war, must be laughing at his foot disease, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to go into battle in the future.
Even a child can laugh at Lonely? Lone has to bow down to it. Thinking of his father's praise for Lu Zhe in other people's childlike style, Li Chengqian, who was already difficult to get his father's affirmation, became angry in his heart and suddenly spoke.
"Chao Sanlang is young, he is proficient in the art of war, which really makes Cheng Qian admire, Cheng Qian has also loved the art of war since he was a child, today he has to meet a prodigy, how can he cross arms and lose, and I hope that Chao Sanlang will not think Cheng Qian is stupid, and he will learn from Cheng Qian in the art of war."
It's coming, it's coming. What are you fighting with a seventeen or eighteen-year-old and an eleven or twelve-year-old? pretending to be humble and accepting advice, in fact, how unhappy I am in my heart, I can also vaguely guess. Are you so energetic? The prince of a country competes with a child.
Lu Zhe secretly slandered Li Chengqian's small heart in his heart, and he made an extremely surprised and frightened look on his face.
"Zhe is just a child, the so-called art of war is also obtained in my teacher's dream, Zhe himself does not know the truth or falsehood, how dare the official, the queen and the prince to sacrifice ugliness in front of him?" In order not to offend the prince, Lu Zhe had no choice but to back down.
"Chao Sanlang can penetrate the situation thousands of miles away at a glance, and his art of war is so subtle that it is rare in the world.
"How dare you, how dare you." Lu Zhe hurriedly made a gesture. Just as he was about to resign, he heard Li Shimin's voice from above.
"Lu Qing's art of war was actually given by the immortals, and I am also quite curious, what is the art of war taught by this immortal, which can make Lu Qing see the battle report and see thousands of miles away, and Lu Qing's previous book on the strategy of Tubo is also extremely clever, which makes a certain admiration, it can be seen that Lu Qing's art of war is extraordinary, and I hope that Lu Qing will not hesitate to teach a father and son."
Got it, Lu Zhe forgot, Li Shimin is also the emperor immediately, he loves the art of war deeply, and his performance several times in a row makes him think that he has a good art of war, let him show it.
But where do you know what art of war, you clearly know the result first, and the reason is all up to you. Wouldn't it be revealing to let yourself speak now?
When he was in such a dilemma, looking at Li Chengqian's faintly happy face, Lu Zhe was a little unhappy.
Sister's, anyway, a prince who is about to be abolished, what am I afraid of you, it is better to brush a little sense of existence in front of the biggest boss of Datang. Thinking of this, Lu Zhe turned his heart sideways, slowly stood up, and made a gesture to everyone.
"Since this is the case, Nazhe will be ugly, there is something wrong, and I hope the official family and the prince will point it out." Lu Zhe, who remembered some theories, smiled contemptuously at this moment.
