Chapter 25: In the public as holy, in the private favoritism (good mood, plus a change)
The soft light shone into the Lingtian Pavilion, Luo Su looked at a book in his hand, and opposite him, there was a fat man in a prince's suit, smiling, looking a little like Maitreya Buddha, it was Wei Wangtai who was in the limelight.
"Many people will be nervous when they come to me, but King Wei is not nervous."
King Wei was stunned for a moment, then reached out and touched the back of his head, and said with a cute smile: "The national teacher won't harm me, why be nervous?" ”
"What a wonderful person.
The book is very well compiled and talented, no wonder Your Majesty likes you. ”
Luo Su raised the book in his hand and praised, Li Tai smiled calmly and said: "It is an honor for Xiao Wang to be praised by the national teacher." ”
Luo Su laughed out loud, "You have the idea of winning the heir in your heart, but you sit in front of me so calmly, what do you think?" ”
Seeing that Luo Xuanling didn't speak, Li Shimin knew what Luo Xuanling meant.
What to do?
The person who persuaded Li Shimin is not one, but how to persuade this thing, liking a person is liking, liking a thing is liking, who would really change their preferences because of the persuasion of others?
But people have to move according to the situation, above Li Tai, there is a prince, there is a son of heaven, who is he strong to show him?
In particular, Li Shimin is also a strong person.
Qingyu, why do you say? ”
Luo Xuanling wanted to speak and stopped, Li Shimin sat directly in the hall casually, "What can't you say to me, others are afraid of my punishment, are you still worried?" ”
What Luo Xuanling can't do himself, to persuade others to do it, it's really funny.
If Li Shimin can really change this, he is not Li Shimin, if he can not be emotional, then the Taiyuan prince who was admired by the heroes of Taiyuan will disappear completely.
Li Tai's face was really puzzled at this time, he really didn't know this, and he couldn't guess it, few people could guess the thoughts of the national teacher.
Only one of the two strong people can survive, because this kind of person will naturally be antagonistic and hate people like himself, which is human nature.
No matter what the reason, the strength of the Prince's Mansion cannot be allowed to continue to swell.
After Li Tai left the Lingtian Pavilion with some unfinished feelings, Luo Su looked at his back and suddenly shook his head regretfully, he felt that Li Tai was a little too strong.
The political clarity, the sea is clear and the river is clear, the people are rich, all the countries come to the dynasty, the order of the heavenly khan from the coast of the East China Sea to the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions, the glory of the Son of Heaven shines on the people of 10,000 miles like never before, the history books praise this prosperous era, almost all the people praise the sainthood of the Son of Heaven.
As soon as Li Shimin said it, he knew that what he said was indeed inappropriate, Li Chengqian was a descendant of the Li family, and now that Li Jing was in the East Palace, he had already made Li Shimin feel quite like a fish in his throat.
For Luo Su's straightforward words, Li Tai was a little unresisted, which was too direct, and at least on the surface, it was just that Li Shimin favored him, not that he really had any ideas.
But once you face private matters, you can't be yourself, because you are an amorous emperor, the minister is not saying that amorous is not good, after all, you know very well that the fifth brother is willing to die for you, and we people surround you, not only for the so-called wealth, but also because of your personal charm, because of your sincerity.
This made Li Tai even more excited, if the attitude of the national teacher reached the ears of his father, then he would be even more favored by himself.
Since Luo Xuanye's death, Li Shimin has replaced the guards of Xuanwumen with Luo Xuanling and Wei Chi Jingde, which shows the worry in Li Shimin's heart.
As soon as Luo Xuanling heard it, he knew that Li Shimin really listened to his words, but it may be that Li Shimin was a little delirious because of his anger, and he would say such nonsense.
Luo Xuanling has nothing to do with the crown prince, he is purer than Luo Xuanye, he is Li Shimin's important minister and in-laws, so that the prince has strong strength, which is not a good thing for Li Shimin, so Luo Xuanling did not hesitate to persuade Li Shimin.
This made him very irritable.
He whispered, "What if I turn this from a private affair into a complete public affair? For example, all the important ministers of the imperial court were stuffed into the prince's east palace. ”
Luo Su nodded approvingly, "Very good, among the sons of the Son of Heaven, only Yan Wang Ke can compare with you." ”
Luo Su is not pretending, he really thinks that Li Tai is very talented, even if he is not an emperor, it is not a problem to be a Confucian.
After all, the person in front of him is probably the most transcendent person in the Tang Dynasty.
Luo Su said something that Li Tai would never have imagined, although he didn't understand what Luo Su wanted to do, he would ask, "I don't know what the national teacher thinks of Xiao Wang, and he may bear heavy responsibility?" ”
Luo Xuanling said in a low voice: "The minister is not worried that His Majesty will be angry, but he is thinking about whether it will hurt His Majesty's heart too much if he says it." ”
Luo Xuanling said very fairly: "The Tang Dynasty is prosperous, it is a scene of prosperity, Your Majesty is one of the top holy kings throughout the ages, and it is not worse than the holy kings of the ten halls. ”
————
Li Tai had bitterness on his face, but he didn't have any respect for Li Chengqian in his words, and in front of Luo Su, he seemed to feel that he didn't need to disguise anything.
Yu Gong is like a saint, Yu is favoritism, this does not affect the merits of an emperor, and now the thriving national situation of Datang is proof, even if Li Shimin is so entangled every day, but Datang is still governed by him There is no problem.
This is a little opinion of the minister, and it is for His Majesty to listen. ”
The atmosphere between the two became more and more good, Luo Su asked Li Tai some questions, Li Tai answered them one by one, clear and vigorous, Luo Su couldn't help nodding, very satisfied with Li Tai.
It's not that a strong character is bad, most people in this world who have achieved great things have a strong side in their character, and strength is the unobtainable side of leadership.
At this time, Li Shimin was stunned, he closed his eyes slightly and did not speak, and said for a long time: "Qingyu, you say, since Qingyang died, there are few people who can say these intimate words to me, in state affairs, they are all virtuous ministers, but when it comes to these things, I want to hear your opinion, I believe that you are fair." ”
Li Shimin listened to Luo Xuanling's words, and was silent for a long time, "Qingyu, what do you say I should do?" ”
"I want to see what your talent is, what responsibilities you can undertake, and then see if there is anything you can do in this world."
This sentence is just talking, don't talk about Li Shimin, even if it is Luo's son, who has really changed his personality?
And Li Shimin's age is not too big, the prince has such a strong strength, and the possibility of conflict between father and son is even greater, in case the prince's tail is not too big, in case it is not easy to clean up, wouldn't it be even worse.
……
He immediately persuaded: "Your Majesty, please think twice." ”
The country is easy to change, and its nature is difficult to change.
Li Tai smiled bitterly: "Don't say that, the national teacher, just like what kind of conspirator I am, besides, the national teacher, you are the Honghu above the Nine Heavens, how can you care about these things?"
Although King Wucheng supports the crown prince, Xiao Wang feels that the national teacher should have no feelings for the prince, after all, my brother is indeed ridiculous sometimes. ”
As Li Tai said before, Luo Su doesn't care if Li Chengqian or who he is, among Li Shimin's sons, he is very fair and never favors anyone, even if it is Luo Xuanye's entrustment before his death, he can't let him be partial.
He once couldn't help but complain to Luo Xuanling: "Qingyu, since you said Zhenguan, how is the Tang Dynasty, and what about me?" ”
Now what hurts your mental strength is all the prince's affairs, he is your son, so private affairs, but the storage position is still a state matter, you can't distinguish between public and private, so you will hesitate back and forth, so you will suffer.
After Luo Xuanye's death, another year has passed, Li Shimin is still a little unaccustomed, and what makes him most uncomfortable is that some rumors have begun to circulate recently, which are about the prince.
From the point of view of his heart, Luo Xuanling actually didn't care if the prince would really be deposed, and it was Li Shimin who asked just now that he said his opinion.
Hearing this, Luo Xuanling said slowly: "Your Majesty, the sage said that self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and the world, if the family house is not peaceful, then you can't devote yourself to governing the country, in fact, why not for a king?"
You are an outstanding king, when facing state affairs, you can almost always listen to the right opinions, even the most difficult things, you can always solve them with confidence, so Datang will have its current prosperity.
Li Chengqian can't do it, Luo Xuanye is talking about personal feelings, but Luo Su's private feelings have been left 1,500 years ago, except for the Luo family and the people who married the Luo family, such as Li Xiuning and Changle, who have the love of licking calves, he doesn't care about the rest of the people, as long as he can complete the task.
Li Shimin was not happy at all when he heard this, but sighed: "I have accomplished the deeds that a king desires, but why am I not happy, but here I do the words of these women, sighing for a long time.
Luo Su was noncommittal, "This is the second time that King Wei has come to Lingtian Pavilion, can you guess why I want to see you again?" ”
Li Tai's eyes suddenly lit up, this is the evaluation from the national teacher, as for Yan Wang Ke, he is just a concubine, and it is not his turn to inherit the throne.
But the lack of public and private clarity made Li Shimin unable to accept it himself, so he could only suffer.
But Li Shimin, who should be proud and proud, is only deeply trapped in family affection and cannot extricate himself, and is in a dilemma, which seems to be a problem that any king with a full sense of humanity will encounter, how can he not know what to do, but in the face of the son who calls him "father" with tears in his eyes, how can he be ruthless and decided?
The author suddenly remembered the old saying that circulated in this land, "If the king prospers with this, he will die with this", when Li Shimin gets the unswerving loyalty of a large number of civil ministers and military generals because of his true temperament, he will eventually lose as much as he has because of his true temperament, and the cold king will not become Li Shimin, and the cold king will not toss and turn like Li Shimin. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Tang Empire"
