Chapter 3: Establish a heart for heaven and earth, and a life for the people
"Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry, take care of the dragon's body."
The little eunuch behind Li Shimin hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said softly.
"Hehe, this is a big deal."
There are many civil and military officers in the court who cover their mouths and snicker in the dark, and they are all there to watch the jokes of the concubine and the mother and son.
This farce, I'm afraid it won't end here.
None of them want to come forward to play a round, and they want to watch a good show.
Seeing that the two sides were deadlocked, they refused to give in.
Among the civil officials, a middle-aged man in a red court robe suddenly walked out.
Holding the long hair under his chin, he came to the Yin Concubine with a smile.
"Concubine De is angry, you haven't understood Your Majesty's good intentions."
The man bowed and smiled.
Concubine Yin was stunned for a moment when she saw the man, and then snorted lightly, and said angrily:
"Li Tao, you don't come to be this peacemaker."
"That Huangzhou has been overflowing with bandits in recent years, and You'er has never fought a war, how can you be safe and sound there?"
"Call me a mother, how can I live!"
What!
He is Li Tao.
Li You suddenly glanced at the middle-aged man.
This man with a bookish face and a calm expression is the founding minister Li Tao.
One of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.
Maybe the name Li Tao is a little unfamiliar to everyone.
But his other name, everyone must have heard of it.
Xu Maogong.
It was Zhi Duoxing who followed Cheng Yanjin to raise troops against Sui in Wagang Mountain.
Because of his outstanding achievements, he was given the surname Li.
"Hahaha."
Li Tao stroked his beard and smiled.
"Blood is thicker than water, how can Your Majesty watch his son go to his death?"
"His Royal Highness King Yan is now guilty of sin, and Huangzhou is overflowing with bandits, which is the opportunity for His Highness to atone for his sins."
"Although there are many bandits, after all, they are a rabble, how can they fight against my Tang Heavenly Army?"
After Li Tao said this, Concubine Yin suddenly stopped crying.
Looking at Li Shimin in the hall, he asked deeply:
"Is what he said true?"
Li Shimin blackened his face and asked rhetorically:
"Is it true that in your eyes, I am such a ruthless person?"
This sentence immediately choked the Yin Concubine.
Although Li Shimin is an emperor, he is also a father.
As a father, how can anyone not hope that his son will become a dragon?
Li You's power in the DPRK and China was weak, and Li Shimin sent him to Huangzhou to suppress bandits.
There are two main purposes.
First, I hope that he will be exercised and stop spending all day drinking.
Second, I also hope that Li You can control part of the military power, so as not to be completely ignored in the DPRK and China, and there is no seriousness.
"Mother, the son-in-law knows that his father has good intentions, and he is willing to go to Huangzhou without complaints."
Li You was no longer silent, so he hurriedly took this opportunity to show himself.
Concubine Yin let out a long sigh and said:
"Alas, my fool, when in your life have you ever fought on horseback?"
"The fight on the battlefield is child's play, and it is easy to stumble if you are not careful."
"Isn't it better to let the concubine intercede with Your Majesty for you and stay in Chang'an in peace?"
The words fell, and two options appeared in front of Li You.
[Option 1: Agree to Concubine Yin's request and admit it. Reward: 5 points of Yin Concubine's favor, and she will not have to go to Huangzhou again]
[Option 2: Insist on going, and fill a large cup.] Reward: Li Shimin's Favor (increased according to the host's performance), and a part of his reputation will be whitewashed]
"Choose two, I want to go!"
Li Yu hardly hesitated.
The mother's favor is high enough, and the most important thing at the moment is to please her father.
Regain Li Er's trust.
Moreover, the suppression of bandits in Huangzhou can not only establish meritorious deeds, but also hold part of the military power.
Isn't it beautiful?
"Mother, you listen to the child."
Li You's expression suddenly became serious, and he said with a serious face.
"It is precisely because of the overflow of bandits in Huangzhou that Erchen must go."
"In the palace, every time I hear that people in Huangzhou have died at the hands of bandits, the child is heartbroken!"
Li You said with a crying tone, and hammered his chest violently.
"The child is a prince, if you can't save my people from fire and water, you won't be able to do this position."
"Yu Bucai! May "establish a heart for heaven and earth, and a life for the people"
"Even if the liver and brain are ruined, I will never give up!"
Li Yousheng burst into tears, and he was about to award an Oscar.
The ministers originally scoffed at Li You's words, thinking that you know how to drink and pick up girls all day long.
Will you still be heartbroken for the people?
Who believes?
But when they heard the last sentence, "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, and establish a life for the people", they were all stunned.
"Good ambition! This is my Li Shimin's son. ”
Li Shimin saw that Li You's words were sincere, and his heart was moved.
I couldn't help but get up from the dragon chair and excitedly appreciated.
Although he didn't know if Li You's words were sincere.
But the phrase "set his heart for heaven and earth, and his life for the people" was enough for him to praise his son.
"But what do you mean by "establishing a heart for heaven and earth, and a life for the people"?"
Li Shimin secretly guessed whether there was a master behind him to guide Li You and teach him to say this.
Otherwise, with Li You's talent alone, how could he have such ambitions?
Li You had already prepared, and said seriously:
"Heaven and earth have no heart, but people have hearts, and people's hearts determine man-made."
"As long as people can have the heart of a benevolent person who loves and helps all, the heart of a saint of the Grand Duke of Langran is to establish a heart for heaven and earth."
"Sage Cloud: Dwelling in virtue and relying on people."
"As long as we can guide the people well, we will make a life for the people."
Establish a heart for heaven and earth, and establish a life for the people.
Li Shimin savored this sentence repeatedly.
These words are absolutely heroic and ambitious.
It's just hard to imagine that this came from the mouth of a playboy.
Could it be that this kid peeked at the little princess after taking a bath.
Suddenly enlightened and modified?
"Yu'er, it seems that you have indeed grown a little."
Li Shimin didn't want to guess, even if it didn't come from Li You.
He is also willing to believe that it was Li You who said it.
"This is going to Huangzhou, the mountains are far away, you must take care."
Li Shimin paused and hesitated for a moment.
In the end, I couldn't help but add, "Don't let me down." ”
【Ding! The option is complete, and the attitude of the ministers towards the host has changed]
【Ding! The option is complete, congratulations to the host for its excellent performance, Li Shimin's favorability +10 points]
Current favor: 30 points (look the other way)
If Li You remembers correctly, this is the first time Li Shimin cares about himself in recent years.
The last time he cared, he couldn't remember when it was.
"Yes, the son will live up to his father's trust."
Li You bowed, and then walked out of the court.
The eunuchs also shouted to retreat from the court, and the ministers separated.
When everyone was gone, only Concubine Yin was left in the court.
"If you don't go back to the harem, why are you still staying here?"
Li Shimin asked lightly with a cold face.
"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is wrong."
Concubine Yin's face flushed, and she came to Li Shimin and said coquettishly.
"This time, You'er went to Huangzhou to suppress bandits, you have to match him with a more powerful lieutenant."
Li Shimin pinched the tip of Concubine Yin's nose and said angrily:
"I know you can't let go of that child, you mother is sometimes too used to him."
