Chapter 50: Datang will be handed over to you

"Because of Yang Guang's abuse of labor, Wei Wentong, Wang Wanchang, Zhai Rang, Wang Bo, Liu Badao, Sun Anzu, Gao Tuda, Dou Jiande, Zhang Jincheng, Liu Yuanjin, Du Fuwei, Meng Haigong ......" Li Shimin said the names of the leaders of the sixty-four peasant rebel armies in one breath, and said: "If they didn't mess up the world, I, Li Tang, would not be able to take advantage of the troubled times to rise up, so as to enter the army and dominate the world." ”

Li Yuan looked at his son, who was talking about the big talk in front of him, and showed a relieved smile.

Yang Guang's intelligence and ability did not make the Sui Dynasty prosperous, but because he fell into a rare upheaval. In just six years, sixty or seventy peasant uprisings emerged in the Great Sui Dynasty, which directly disturbed the situation in the world and pushed the Sui Dynasty to its extinction. So much so that the Sui Dynasty II, which was as bright as a meteor, died.

As the founder of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan did not want to follow in the footsteps of the previous dynasty, and would die the world that had been fought down with great difficulty, and the second Li Tang Dynasty, which had been forged with great difficulty.

Li Shimin has ambitions no less than Yang Guang, and has a talent that can only be surpassed and surpassed, and what Li Yuan is most afraid of is that Li Shimin will follow Yang Guang's path, because his ambition and talent will push the Tang Dynasty into the abyss.

Possessing the wealth left by Yang Jian can't afford Yang Guang's tossing, Datang took over the turbulent mess at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and Yang Guang's confidence is ten times worse, and he can't afford to toss.

It is also because of this idea that Li Yuancai has always insisted that Li Jiancheng be the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he takes a fancy to Li Jiancheng's natural ability in politics, and believes that the Tang Dynasty needs self-cultivation and development, and Li Jiancheng's temperament and ability are suitable for consolidating the foundation of the Tang Dynasty and making the Tang Dynasty more powerful.

But people are not as good as heaven. The development of things exceeded Li Yuan's expectations, Li Shimin planned the Renzhi Palace incident, and Li Jiancheng made a strict mistake in employing people.

In order to stabilize the situation. Li Yuan had to abolish Li Jiancheng and replace it with Li Shimin.

Then Li Yuan continued to be the shopkeeper......

Li Yuan has a good temperament, but this is only one of the reasons for being the shopkeeper, and another reason is to exercise the ability to govern the successor, and see if he has the ability to become the future monarch of the Tang Dynasty. If Li Shimin is really similar to Yang Guang as he thinks, he will not hesitate to stand up and abolish Li Shimin's position as the crown prince. Reconsider the crown prince's candidacy.

In this overall situation related to the country, Li Yuan is unambiguous.

So in the two years after Li Shimin became the crown prince, Li Yuan has been quietly watching his son stand in the position of the prince behind his back. wielding the power of the emperor......

He has always been worried that Li Shimin's character will follow in Yang Guang's footsteps, but as time went by, he found that he completely underestimated his second son.

In the two years since Li Shimin was in power, he has worked diligently and diligently. What is his purpose. Li Yuan as a father. As a father who re-understands his children, it couldn't be clearer: he is still the same competitive, this is the intention to prove himself, to prove that he is stronger than his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, and to prove that he is more suitable than Li Jiancheng to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He wants to do things that Li Jiancheng can't do, and do great things that Li Jiancheng can't do.

The Turks, the great rivals of the Tang Dynasty, were his targets.

Li Yuan also reacquainted himself with his second son at this time, and he found that Li Shimin had the ambition comparable to that of Han Wu, but he did not have Yang Guang's impatient mentality. He was indeed in a hurry to prove himself. It has long been intended to fight with the Turks. But this eagerness did not negatively affect him, but became the motivation to motivate him. Far from being reckless. On the contrary, it attaches great importance to the people and attaches importance to economic development.

He was able to be patient and recuperate for two years, while relying on the wisdom and strategy of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji to control the situation in the north, make friends from afar and attack closely, win over Xue Yantuo, secretly arrange, support Tuli to benefit Jieli, and overtake the situation in the north with conspiracy; On the one hand, he supported Wei Zheng, Wang Qi, Cen Wenwen and other government affairs talents to govern the Tang Dynasty, restore the economy of the Tang Dynasty, and finally dispatched a three-way army when the Turks were at their weakest, and decided the Turks in a war.

The brilliant results of this battle did not cause severe trauma to the economy of Datang, which has a great relationship with Li Shimin's conscientious economic development in the past two years.

Today, when he heard Li Shimin's golden and good words, all the worries in his heart disappeared: he knew that Li Shimin, who could say these words, could not become the second Yang Guang.

Datang can be entrusted to ......

"Ahem!" Li Yuan suddenly frowned, coughed twice, and said with a sigh of relief: "This time, even if my father picks up a ready-made bargain." After this incident, I will pass it on to you, and the future of Datang will be handed over to you. ”

"What!" Rao is Li Shimin's city government, and when he heard Li Yuan's words, he couldn't help but be shocked, glanced at Li Yuan with a little disbelief, and then knelt down and said, "Father, why is this?" Erchen is still young, and I am afraid that he is not enough to take on this great responsibility. ”

Li Yuan shook his head and sighed: "My father is past the age of Jiazi, and his body has long been much worse than before. Ever since Shiro's disappearance, his father's health has deteriorated. Back then, I was fortunate to be enlightened by Shixin, and I also wanted to open some. Every time I think about this, I always have a little hope. Now it seems that I am afraid that there is more luck and less luck. Some time ago, Pingyang specially invited Doctor Sun to enter the palace to treat his father. Doctor Sun said that his father was old and his health was not as good as before. It is necessary to quit drinking and avoid eating, not to work too hard, and to maintain health with peace of mind, so as to prolong life, otherwise it may be life-threatening. The father didn't believe it, and thought the old guy was alarmist. Recently, because I was happy, I got up early to go to the court to deal with government affairs. The first day or two was fine, but after a long time, I also noticed that I was powerless. This is old, and it is not good to be old. You can't bear to see your father fall ill in the Taiji Hall before agreeing to inherit the unification, right? ”

Li Shimin was speechless.

"It's settled!" Li Yuan's expression became stern, and he said in a deep voice: "Your expression in recent years is nothing more than trying to prove to me that you are stronger than Jiancheng, and you are more qualified to be my crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and become the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Today, you use practical results to let your father understand that you do have the ability to be the monarch of my Tang Dynasty, and in some aspects, you are indeed much better than your eldest brother. Now that your father has approved you, you don't dare to take on this great responsibility? ”

Li Shimin knelt on the ground and said categorically: "The son will definitely live up to his father's expectations......"

At this moment, with Li Shimin's wisdom, he could not see Li Yuan's purpose: he was teaching him one last lesson before passing on the throne, so that he realized that it is not a bad thing to be ambitious and ambitious, but the excessive ambition of the transition is by no means a good thing, and it is likely to have a negative effect: Yang Guang is the best example from the past.

Li Yuan bent down, helped Li Shimin up, held his hand, and patted his palm cautiously: "Datang will be handed over to you." (To be continued......)
