Chapter Twenty-Eight: Father-Son Talks

Tang Taizong Li Shimin wanted to talk to Li Su alone, which was something that no one expected. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoConcubine Yang was very happy and glad that her youngest son could get the attention of his father. Li Ke was a little jealous of Li Ke in his heart.

Li Su's feeling was very scared. In his impression, his father was the first time to talk to Li Su alone. Li Su came through time, and there was a ghost in his heart. Li Shimin's eyes were like electricity, and Li Su was really worried that he would show some flaws.

Concubine Yang said to Li Su: "Su'er, it's rare that your father has time, you have to be careful and obedient, and let your father give you a good guidance." She hopes that Li Su can perform well and gain Li Shimin's attention from then on.

After Concubine Yang and Li Ke left, Li Shimin looked at Li Su and didn't speak for a long time. Li Su didn't dare to look up at him, but felt that his father Li Shimin's gaze was like two lasers, burning his whole body, and his body began to sweat, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

Li Shimin said: "Sorry. ”

Li Su hurriedly responded: "Father." He looked up and saw his father's two radios, and hurriedly lowered his head again.

Li Shimin saw his frightened appearance, and also felt that he had a bad attitude towards this son before, so he deliberately slowed down his tone and said kindly: "Su'er, you have been doing well recently, your father is happy for you, don't be nervous, today, let's talk about father and son." ”

Li Su heard that his father's tone was very kind, looked up, and found that his father's face was also very kind, and his mood began to relax. He boldly looked up at Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin saw this child before, he was angry and didn't fight in one place, and this impression could not be reversed all at once. He said patiently: "In the past, my father didn't care enough about you, and his requirements were higher, so his attitude was not very good. However, recently, you have made a lot of progress, and my father is very happy. ”

"Thank you, Father." Li Su was really happy in his heart.

Since the two basically had no communication before, at first, Li Shimin didn't know how to continue to talk to him. Simply, he began to ask Li Su about the issues he cared about.

Li Shimin asked: "Recently, you have brought a lot of novelty items, which have never been seen before in this dynasty, where did you get these things?" ”

"Hell's the problem!" Li said in his heart. However, he has already thought of a countermeasure to this problem. He said: "Not long ago, Erchen met a merchant from Rome in the West, and he happened to get a large number of treasures.

You also know that the puppet is not guilty, and he is guilty. He didn't dare to sell these goods in Rome, so he prepared to ship them to the Tang Dynasty to sell. Erchen saved his life by chance during a hunting, so he began to do business with Erchen. All the goods came from him. ”

These words are tantamount to not saying anything, and the origin of the thing is actually not clearly explained. Li Shimin knew that Li Su had something to hide, but if he didn't say it, it would be useless to ask any more. He said, "Well, that's right. However, things are good things, find a way to buy more. ”

"No, Father." Li Su replied.

Li Shimin felt that his conversation with Li Su was a bit unclear and difficult, so he wanted to end the conversation hastily. However, he felt that his son had a lot of secrets, and he was a little unwilling, so he suddenly asked, "Have you been rich recently?" ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Li Su was shocked, and he quickly realized that it was the West Sea Orb that he sold to those foreigners who caused the trouble. Honglu Temple is the Honglu Temple of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the Honglu Temple of Li Shimin, the emperor, such a big movement cannot be hidden from him.

Li Su said: "Father, the son-in-law sold some beads to those envoys of Fanbang and made a little money. ”

"Hey, little money? More than 1,000 taels of gold is also a small amount of money? Li Shimin said mockingly.

Li Su said: "This is the legitimate income of the son, there is no problem, right?" ”

Li Shimin smiled: "You kid, you have the ability to make money." My father heard about it, and you gave a lot of benefits to the officials and servants in your palace, yes, that's good. ”

When Li Su heard this, it turned out that his father didn't want him to turn it in, so he was relieved.

Just when he was just relaxing, Li Shimin suddenly asked, "Su'er, what else are you hiding from your father?" ”

Li Su was taken aback, and he asked anxiously, "Father, what are you referring to?" ”

Li Shimin asked: "What's going on with the wolf totem?" ”

"Huh? What wolf totem? I don't know. Li pretended to be stupid.

Li Shimin said: "You and the eldest grandson Chong, Cheng Chumo and the prince, you have been very busy lately, what are the rumors on the streets, the hidden poems, and the knights sent to the grassland?" ”

Li Su was taken aback, and suddenly understood in his heart that he Li Su, Changsun Chong and others were rookies, and it was no wonder that they made such a big move and didn't attract Li Shimin's attention! Li Shimin has his own intelligence network, and these things, when linked, will inevitably arouse Li Shimin's suspicions.

With Li Shimin's cleverness and Li Su's recent special performance, he quickly suspected Li Su's body.

Li Shimin said: "I believe in the crown prince, and I also believe in the eldest grandson Chong and you, you will not do anything unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty, but you are young and reckless, and you are not careful in doing things, and it is easy for the enemy to exploit loopholes." ”

Li Su was young in the end, he was deceived by Li Shimin, and almost revealed his plan. However, he couldn't help but say nothing, and he asked, "Father, what do you think about the matter of harmony?" ”

Li Shimin's expression was a little gloomy, and he said: "Harmony is a means to appease foreign countries, and it is also a means to resolve disputes between countries in the past. What do you think?"

Li Shimin asked Li Su casually, and he didn't expect Li Su to have any opinions, just to express his depression. Princess Anning's matter made Li Shimin very unhappy.

"Father, son, son and son think that there is something wrong with the policy of the Tang Dynasty towards the Hu people." Li Su said.

"Oh? Tell me about it? Li Shimin asked.

Li Su said: "Erchen, let's start with his relatives. Harmony, sons, ministers are not completely opposed, but harmony is divided into active and affinity and passive and pro, active and pro, is when our dynasty is strong and the other party is at an absolute disadvantage, in order to appease the other party, peace and proximity can indeed achieve good results.

Passive harmony is carried out under the condition that the other party is relatively strong and our side is relatively weak, just like the peace that the Tang Dynasty is now making with the Xue Yantuo tribe. This kind of rapprochement is not only humiliating, but also has no effect.

With the wolf ambition of the Khan of the Xue Yantuo tribe, he will definitely not give up his plot against the Tang Dynasty because of his affinity with the Tang Dynasty. Erchen concluded that Sister An Ning's marriage to Xue Yantuo was just giving them an extra hostage. Erchen dares to pack tickets, and it won't be long before Yi Nan will rebel. ”

Historically, the Khan Yinan of the Xue Yantuo tribe did rebel.

Li Shimin agreed with Li Su's opinion, and he said helplessly: "What you said makes sense, and it is also a helpless move of the imperial court, through harmony, to buy time for the imperial court." ”

"Father, son-in-law thinks that instead of responding passively, it is better to take the initiative." Li Su said.
