Chapter 622: Li Chengqian, who is going to be miserable
On the fifth day of the sixth month, the emperor sealed Mount Tai.
On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, the emperor decreed that Li Jiancheng, the king of Xiyin, could posthumously restore the title of crown prince, and Li Yuanji, the king of Hailing, was posthumously crowned as the king of the nest, and the title was still the same.
Killing his brother and killing his brother forced his father to abdicate and become the emperor himself, after all, it is not a glorious thing, although Li Shimin has always had no denial of the change in Xuanwumen, but his heart is still very empty, he thinks that he can do better as an emperor, but before he has made good achievements that can give him confidence, Li Shimin does not dare to face the matter of killing his brother and killing his brother, at least it is a little secretive.
Because Li Shimin himself knows what kind of person his elder brother former prince Li Jiancheng is.
Although after killing his brother Li Jiancheng, those who supported Li Shimin and Li Shimin himself were whitewashing themselves, smearing Li Jiancheng, saying how Li Jiancheng was not good, how incompetent, and taking all the credit for the establishment of the Tang Dynasty on Li Shimin, but Li Shimin himself knew that before the Li family raised troops from Taiyuan, his brother Li Jiancheng had been secretly recruiting people and recruiting troops in Hedong.
After that, his elder brother Li Jiancheng assisted his father Li Yuan to raise troops in Taiyuan, and then personally led the troops to share weal and woe with the soldiers, and it only took nine days to capture the Xihe River, which cleared the way for Li Tang to enter Chang'an.
And it was also after that time that his elder brother Li Jiancheng was named the Duke of Longxi and the Governor of the Left Army.
After taking Huoyi, rejecting Tongguan, conquering Chang'an, and after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he was made the crown prince and assisted his father Li Yuan in handling political affairs. After that, he led the army to repel the Turkic invasion many times, captured Liu Heimin, who colluded with the Turks, and pacified Shandong.
It can be said that in terms of military ability, his brother Li Jiancheng is no worse than himself, although Li Shimin can't admit it in his mouth, but he thinks so in his heart.
After that, he led the troops outside, and his brother presided over the daily government affairs inside, although the military merits gradually did not compare with himself, but the credit in internal affairs was great, at least greater than himself, more experienced than himself.
Li Shimin knows these best, but he can't say it, because he killed his brother to become the emperor, he wants to give himself enough legal basis to be the emperor, if his brother is so virtuous, then what is it to kill his brother?
Therefore, it can't be said that about his brother Li Jiancheng, it can only be smeared, and it can only be not mentioned.
Because at that time, Li Shimin did not have the confidence to face his brother's wisdom calmly, because he had not yet made better achievements and let the people know that he was a better emperor than his brother.
However, in the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, after sealing Mount Tai for the third time, Li Shimin thought that he had this confidence.
has the confidence to uncover everything, let his brother Li Jiancheng return to the public eye, and give him the treatment he deserves, but he will not be blamed by many people.
Because of him, Li Shimin, the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, not only made exploits far beyond his father, but also made exploits far beyond the sages and emperors of previous dynasties.
It is not an exaggeration to compare with the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and the territory conquered is even greater than that of the ancients, and it is not like the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty are as reckless as the military force, which leads to the emptiness of the treasury and the suffering of the people.
He has laid down such a large territory, but the people in the country are living better and better, such a strong force can still live better and better for the country and the people, even the Qin Emperor and Han Wu are completely incomparable.
Li Shimin thinks that he can say to everyone with confidence, I am not afraid of anyone who says that what I did was wrong, because I am better than my brother Li Jiancheng when I am the emperor.
After enclosing Mount Tai with the power of great victory, Li Shimin ordered the restoration of the title and treatment of his elder brother Li Jiancheng and his younger brother Li Yuanji, and moved them back to the tomb to bury their parents.
A few days later, the emperor issued another edict that from now on, the crown prince Li Chengqian will take out the treasury utensils used, and the relevant departments do not need to restrict them.
The emperor began to release more authority to the future successor of the Tang Empire, and at the same time as the authority was released, Li Shimin also assigned another teacher to his son Li Chengqian, and Wei Zheng was appointed as the crown prince and prince.
"Cheng Qian, you're going to be miserable, Lord Wei has become the prince and master, and you will suffer in the future, I think, from now on you should quit some hobbies such as hunting, playing, etc., otherwise Lord Wei will have to admonish every day, and it will annoy you to death."
In the Chang'an Palace, Wu Yuanqing gloated and said to Li Chengqian.
"Go, Lord Wei's advice is all right, how can it be as annoying as you said, don't you see that your father will always accept Lord Wei's advice?" Li Chengqian was also wailing in his heart, but there was an expression on his face that he felt that Wei Zheng had done the right thing.
"Cut, if you really think so." Wu Yuanqing said with disdain.
"Oh, by the way, your Uncle Han is still running to your East Palace every day?" Wu Yuanqing changed the topic and asked.
"Yes, Uncle Wang has a heart, it's just that I'm so busy every day, how can I have those idle people who discuss with him every day what gold and stone calligraphy and painting to appreciate, if it weren't for the few calligraphy he gave him, I like it very much, I want the people guarding the palace gate to stop him outside the palace and not let him in." Li Chengqian said with some distress.
"Yes, your Uncle Han is indeed very accomplished in calligraphy and painting, and when he was young, he became famous in the royal family for his calligraphy, and the civil and military officials also praised him, and his attainments have become more profound over the years. It's just that, Cheng Qian, this calligraphy and painting gold stone is generally liked by people, even if the people of the royal family like it, it is an elegant thing, it is a very good hobby, but for you, the prince, you can't like it, especially indulge in these things, that is a plaything in the eyes of civil and military officials and even your father. Especially, you can't learn from you, Uncle Han Wang, try not to get close to you." Wu Yuanqing Zhengse said.
"Hey, what words, who is close to King Han, who is close to him?" Li Chengqian was a little annoyed, because of a Yue Ren song, Wu Yuanqing almost despised him for being a person who liked men's broken sleeves, and he felt vomiting when he thought about it for a few days.
And the song of the Yue people was what he heard from the King of Han, and since then he has distanced himself from the King of Han, and it is too late to dodge how to get close.
It's just that these years have gotten older, and gradually it will not be so obvious, and the king of Han has not shown a tendency to like men, so Li Chengqian is not so repulsive to him.
"It's best not to be close. I told you that Master Wei is a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, although you, Uncle Han Wang, behaved very well in front of you, and was also a virtuous king in the eyes of many people, but because he liked the hobby of gold and stone calligraphy and painting, he repeatedly violated the law, robbed other people's treasures, and even ruined other people's homes again, just for a painting of some famous artist. The magistrate played in the court, although because the family was dead, and the king of Han escaped without the bitter master, his reputation was stinky, especially in the eyes of Lord Wei. If he knows that King Han has been getting close to you recently, Cheng Qian, you can wait."
