The autumn rain was dripping, the dark wooden windows were wet by the raindrops, showing traces of smudging open, the windows were never closed, leaving gaps, and the cool breeze mixed with the wet rain blew in and fell on Li Chengqian's face.

He sat in front of the window in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking in his mind, and the rain that poured in made his prince's robe a little wet, sticking to his body, and the cold was to the bone.

The maid of the East Palace tried her best to hide her body, and she was silent.

"Wow."

A sound of footsteps walked in from the outside, and as soon as they heard this sound, the eyes of several maids suddenly lit up, and the most likely one who dared to walk like this in the East Palace was Luo Juncheng, the king of Zhou County.

Luo Juncheng walked into the inner hall, and at a glance saw Li Chengqian sitting in front of the window in despair, he walked over with a slight sigh, and saw a note messily thrown next to Li Chengqian.

He picked it up and looked at it, and sure enough, His Majesty rebuked him again, he rolled up his sleeves, first closed the window that kept pouring wind in, and then ordered: "Go and get a clean and thick coat and change it for the prince." ”

Luo Su said lightly: "No, the prince is the prince of the country, the most important thing is security and stability, if the prince is outside, there is a change in the palace, what should I do if someone overkills, if there are traitors like Zhao Gao and Li Si, and support people like Hu Hai to take the throne."

Li Chengqian held Luo Juncheng's hand instead, his eyes were shining, full of determination, "Chang'an is a Jedi for me, my father said some time ago that he will never depose my crown prince, but this did not comfort me at all, but I felt that the noose around my neck was tighter."

No, there's not much more to say.

Luo Su was very calm, "Don't say anything against your will, in my place, whether it's true or not, can't escape my eyes." ”

Li Chengqian didn't have these three most important abilities, he was a little anxious, and he didn't have the talent that Li Shimin liked, as soon as he was provoked, he fell into the trap arranged by Li Tai, so he came to the present.

One thing, only at the right time, can be successful.

A real sword to seal the throat!

Luo Su simply listed the changes in Li Shimin's attitude on different timelines, and directly let Li Shimin break the defense.

Li Shimin looked at his country from afar here, and the more he thought about it, the more beautiful he felt, "National teacher, how do you see my governance over the years?" ”

Hope is good news. ”

Li Shimin was a little depressed all of a sudden, once it came to his sons, he was like this.

After Luo Juncheng drank a cup of hot tea, he suddenly said: "If it was in Bangzhou, every prince would be able to get a fief and then govern his own country, but now only the prince can get everything, and the rest of the princes will be assisted as courtiers. ”

So it is today, every day. ”

I'm not afraid of what he does, but if I'm not in good health, it's best for Li Jing to accompany me to the underworld to fight the world. ”

Luo Su laughed loudly, "How is the Son of Heaven governing, the people of the world have already told you, Zhenguan has been in Zhenguan for so many years, and there has not been a civil uprising with a scale of more than 1,000 people, which is already very revealing, and if you persist for a few more years, your prosperity will surpass those in history and become a new benchmark." ”

Li Chengqian fell into a long silence again, he looked at Luo Juncheng's eyebrows, and wanted to puff up his breath, but his body drooped again, "It's me who is incompetent, and I am tired." ”

……

Luo Junwei was even more shocked, "Ancestor, do you also think that the Son of Heaven wants to abolish the crown prince?" The Son of Heaven should not be enough, the last time I saw the Son of Heaven, I was still ......"

"Li Chengqian still has a sense of danger, or the people around him have told him that he has a premonition that he is really dangerous, and it is impossible to use the method of Xuanwu Gate in the face of Li Shimin, so he still knows the truth of being born externally, dying inside, and being safe outside."

After Luo Su drank the hot tea, Li Shimin poured it for the two, and heard Luo Su say leisurely: "Does the Son of Heaven want to change the prince?" ”

Have you been to see her? ”

This is her, naturally Wu Cao, if Luo Junwei has the opportunity, she will come to the palace to visit her.

Li Shimin thought about it for a long time, and had to admit it painfully, if the prince continued to be so absurd, he could only be ruthless and abolish the prince in the end.

When the heat was rising, Li Shimin took a sip of the teacup before he breathed a sigh of relief: "This year's winter is really cold, and I don't know if the charcoal I asked the household department to send to the people of Chang'an has been delivered, don't freeze to death after the snow." ”

There is not much to say. ”

Li Shimin asked himself, if he was in the position of Emperor Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty, he would do the same, then the current crown prince......

"Poof! Ahem, ahem! ”

"Remember what I used to say? There is something that you can't accept, but you have to accept, something that you can't choose, and that's it. ”

In the current world, only Li Shimin can speak so equally with Luo Su.

After that, you will replace your aunt and become a historian in the palace, so that you will have more time to contact Wu Cao. ”

"National teacher, what you said is probably right."

If Li Jing did not die of illness by himself, Li Shimin thought to himself that he must take Li Jing away before he died, so that he could "die of illness" with dignity.

The national teacher wants to let himself give up the position of prince!

This can be regarded as a game for the monarch and the minister, giving Li Jing the last dignity.

Five years ago, in order to express your determination, you made Qingyang the crown prince and the prince and the prince.

And now, the idea of abolishing the crown prince and establishing the king of Wei as the prince occasionally rises in your heart.

Li Shimin still knows Luo Su well, why can he tell Luo Su what is in his heart so easily, because Luo Su really doesn't care.

"Son of Heaven, what do you think of Li Jing?"

Li Chengqian was silent for a long time, a trace of hatred flashed on his face, and he gritted his teeth and was about to speak, Luo Juncheng immediately knew when he saw this that Li Chengqian was going to say something rebellious, at least to say something, and he was extremely dissatisfied with King Wei's words, he interrupted sharply, "Prince, please be careful!" ”

Luo Su was also half-lying.

My father really wants to make King Wei the crown prince, Juncheng, I can't deceive myself anymore, and you don't have to deceive yourself anymore, this is the reality, my crown prince is really going to end. ”

I don't need to go to Mount Tai for my merits, there is the apocalypse of King Su, King Su will give me the most fair evaluation, forget it, forget it, what do I care about with a hillbilly.

Besides, Li Jing can't use it, this is what the national teacher himself said at the beginning, what does this mean now?

"Li Jing is now the crown prince Shaobao, many people have forgotten this identity, he is closed, it is really a waste of his military ability to enter the top ten throughout the ages.

Prince, I will always be on your side, and now, remove all those emotional words and speak the true words in your heart. ”

Three years ago, you still wanted Li Chengqian to inherit your position.

The sound of the rain outside gradually became louder, an autumn rain and a cold, even if the windows were closed, a chill gradually penetrated in.

Li Shimin said bitterly: "Because of my current attitude towards the prince, I will agree with what the national teacher said today, if it is in the past, I will not agree, this is the right time for the national teacher to say." ”

If he really didn't want to make King Wei the crown prince, then there was no need to say these words at all, he just needed to divide King Wei like King Yan, and now that he is doing this, and still pampering King Wei, isn't he giving King Wei time to cultivate power?

Li Shimin stood up with a puzzled face, and followed Luo Su into a side hall of the Lingtian Pavilion.

Saying that, Luo Su stood up, "The Son of Heaven will come with me." ”

He is my son, how could I do that, the fate of the abolished prince has not been good since ancient times, I will not ......"

Li Shimin was silent for a moment, "Occasionally, I have such thoughts, but I know that it is wrong, so I have never thought of putting it into practice, so I really have no idea of changing the prince." ”

Li Shimin directly squirted all the tea to the side in one gulp, coughed heavily, and there was no one else in the hall except for the two.

When people are the smartest, it is after the fact, and the so-called hindsight is that after opening the whole picture from God's perspective, the IQ ability will soar to an unimaginable level.

Li Chengqian's heart chuckled, he didn't understand what the national teacher meant, but he still obediently got up and left here.

Emperor Xiaowen of Han.

For Li Chengqian, he gave up what was not about to belong to him, and he thought it was very worthwhile to exchange this for a bright future.

Huh?

Thinking of Li Ke, Li Chengqian suddenly became a little excited, "Juncheng, do you think I can be like King Yan?" ”

Luo Su shook his head, "It's not to predict the future, but a reasonable speculation, when the river is drawn here, the direction of the water flow is doomed, and the same is true for people, if you don't change your character, the prince won't change either, then the result is doomed."

Li Shimin sighed and said: "What Wei Zheng said is right, from Chang'an to Mount Tai, on the journey of two thousand miles, I don't know how many officials will be received, it is really a waste of money for the people, and I have to accumulate for a few years to fight a war, so as not to let the people have no surplus food to go on the expedition, this is not a pure boast of merit, forget it."

Luo Su didn't speak, just poured a cup of tea and pushed it over to Li Shimin, which was a tacit acquiescence to Li Shimin's words.

In other words, the day when he, the prince, did not become the Son of Heaven, he was just a small shrimp for this national teacher.

Luo Su smiled and said: "What's wrong with this, let you record the affairs of the harem, I'm afraid the Son of Heaven is also very relieved, you are his favorite niece." ”

The prince will be isolated from inside and outside if he stays in Chang'an, and it is absolutely impossible to go out, I told His Majesty to let King Yan guard the north, because King Yan could not inherit the throne, so it is better to release it as soon as possible and give full play to his ability. ”

"It seems that today's national teacher is here for this matter, although I don't know why the national teacher is involved in the matter of establishing the reserve, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Luo Juncheng's mentality is very good, especially with Li Chengqian, the prince who is still manic and depressed at every turn, he feels that it is not a big deal.

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this, "That old boy of Wei Zheng, sometimes I want to boast, he still has to say more, I want to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, and he will not allow it, saying that it will hurt the people and money." ”

He almost died in Mobei, there are jackals outside, if you are not careful, you will die, Chang'an is at least safe, and the position of the prince ......"

Do they think I don't know that even ordinary people out there are now telling me that I'm a cripple?

Even if they don't say it on the surface, they must be laughing at me in their hearts, a person like me, ascending to the throne of the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, is a joke, and when the envoys of the countries come to see him, he sees that the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty is a lame man, and he is simply disgraced, my father must have thought about this problem, he didn't say it, I also know. ”

The hall is very quiet, only when Gong'e sencha, the sound of dishes colliding, crisp, like a piece of music.

Li Chengqian slowly let go of Luo Juncheng's hand that grabbed him hard, Luo Juncheng shook it off and said softly: "Prince, go and see the national teacher, maybe the national teacher can give us some advice." ”

At this point in time at the moment of Li Shimin, he can still do this, he is really quite worthy of Li Jing, that is, Li Shimin, if he is replaced by another king, Li Jing will die.

Li Chengqian said directly: "Among the brothers, the one I envy the most is King Yan, who doesn't need to be in Chang'an, intrigue with King Wei, don't need to please his father, drink wine and eat meat every day, and can really do things and hold power, where is like me now, trapped here, listening to those people reprimand every day."

Li Shimin recalled all of a sudden, Luo Su had already said this to him, he had been speculating all along, and now that he thought about it, it turned out that the national teacher had expected it today, "Can the national teacher predict the future?" ”

Luo Su acted as if he hadn't done anything, "You are an excellent king, as good as Emperor Xiaowen of Han." ”

He was about to erupt fire from his nostrils, but in front of him was Luo Su, and he could only hold back, "What does the national teacher mean is that I will definitely hate the prince even more in the future, and then abolish his storage position?"

Luo Juncheng didn't care, he lay down casually, "Prince, you don't have to say that, in the Han Dynasty, the Marquis of Yingwen was the most trusted courtier of Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, and everyone thought that he would eventually assist the young lord and become the minister of life, but in the end, the Marquis of Yingwen became the minister of Liu Ruyi, the king of Han, and the Marquis of Yingwen didn't care."

Li Shimin was very relaxed and half-leaned in the Lingtian Pavilion.

And he is not capable of power struggle and adaptation.

Luo Su stood up, the hem of his wide robe dragging on the ground, "Look at the problem from a dynamic perspective, the relationship between the Son of Heaven and the Crown Prince is sliding towards the abyss with time, and the people who can change this situation are already dead."

Li Chengqian understands that if he loses power, Luo Juncheng's political future in this life will basically be over.

His eyes turned to Luo Juncheng, Luo Juncheng comprehended, gave him a reassuring look, and then bowed directly to Luo Su, "Ancestor, the prince has some questions, he feels that as the prince of a country, he always sits in Chang'an City, which is not beneficial to the country, he wants to follow the example of King Yan Shoubei and make some substantial contributions and merits for the Tang Dynasty, I don't know if it is feasible, your wisdom is thorough, and you must be able to give him some bright lights." ”

Luo Su slowly said with his hand forward: "People are like flowers, no matter how delicate the flowers, when they are in the dark, they will be haggard, hoping that there will be a beam of light to save themselves, if someone fills this position, it will exist in the heart for a lifetime."

Every time Li Chengqian thinks of what he said afterwards, he will regret it, but when he really faces those things, he will still make mistakes, the fog covers his eyes, and he can only rely on his own wisdom to break the game.

"Uncle."

The reason why Li Chengqian has come to this point step by step is because his merits are not in the position of heir, in this position, he does not need to govern the country or military talents, but needs a steady character, the ability to please his father, and the quick wisdom to deal with challenges.

Only such a strong contrast can make Li Shimin feel his own subtle changes.

In fact, this is to take Li Jing away, Li Jing is relatively old, but he is in good health, which makes Li Shimin feel a little incredible, after all, the other generals are in average health.

"In the end, the Son of Heaven still didn't go."

I look at the body of the Son of Heaven, he can live for many years, but the prince can't hold on for that long.

"Li Jing is not only a knife of the Tang Dynasty, but also a knife of Zhuxia, it is a pity to fold it in the hands of his own people."

Li Shimin really broke the defense.

Luo Su simply vetoed the prince's idea, making Li Chengqian decadent all of a sudden, but Luo Juncheng asked again: "Old ancestor, is there really no other way?" ”

Li Chengqian didn't want to say anything more, he had gradually accepted his current fate, the anger in his heart had been suppressed by Luo Xuanye's father and son, he knew that he couldn't take the step of rebellion, his future was bleak, and he couldn't see any light.

Luo Su once again used a sword to seal his throat, "Ten years ago, you were full of joy and wanted Li Chengqian to inherit your empire in the future.

"Juncheng, I really don't seem to have a future.

I've implicated you. ”

Wei Wang ......

If you really want to abolish the crown prince, then what should you do with Li Jing, the crown prince?

It's better to pack the two of them together and take them away. ”

Li Shimin groaned when he heard this: "The sharpest knife in the Tang Dynasty is so sharp that I feel like I have a man's back.

In the Lingtian Pavilion, the sandalwood is rising, the large and large Kanyu map, or hang on the curtain in the hall, or spread directly on the ground, the momentum is magnificent, there is a kind of mountains and rivers Sheji, all in the feeling of the palace.

Luo Junwei left in a hurry, Luo Su recalled Li Chengqian's words just now, reorganized the plan in his heart, and suddenly sneered, "It's really interesting, it's true, the husband is not fighting, so the world can't fight with it, Wu Cao, your marriage is here." ”

Li Chengqian certainly has a lot of shortcomings, but he is not without advantages, otherwise Luo Xuanye would not have helped him all the time, he is generous and sincere, and some of the children of Guanlong nobles had a very classic habit of not valuing human life before, and it was also corrected.

This is also the Luo family's profound heritage and strong political power, if it is an ordinary courtier, and then encounters a mean and unkind king, basically in the end will be implicated in a political incident and become a victim of political struggle.

Rumble!

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, directly bombarding Li Chengqian's ears, he was not stupid, of course he knew what Luo Su was talking about, he felt a little dizzy, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't count the words.

It's too hard.

As Li Shimin's favorite county lord, Luo Junwei can often see Li Shimin, and she personally feels that Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince is not so unstable.

……

Luo Juncheng asked for a blanket to cover it, and pointed to Li Chengqian and said, "Cover the prince too, and serve two cups of hot tea." ”

The extremely famous abolished prince, the incident between King Jiujiang Li of Han and Emperor Wu of Han happened to Emperor Xiaowen of Han.

Hearing what Luo Juncheng said, Li Chengqian's eyes lit up for a moment, and then went out again, that era has passed, not to mention that he is the prince, among his younger brothers, only King Yan is the only one who really governs the people, and the price is that he can't go back to Chang'an.

Li Chengqian opened his mouth and slowly shed tears, "Father......

Luo Juncheng pulled Li Chengqian and said in a low voice: "Enough is enough, prince, enough, don't say it again, I know, I know, but what do you want to do, put away those thoughts, remember what my father said, you be a good son, Your Majesty will be a good father." ”

Li Shimin is an outstanding emperor in the end, although he was extremely injured because he was directly revealed by Luo Su, but he still said strongly: "I know that the national teacher will not participate in the establishment of the prince, presumably the national teacher has more important things to say to me, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, just say it here."

Li Chengqian's mind was in chaos, but the decisive talent from the Li family's bloodline suddenly rushed to the back of his head, "National Teacher, if I am really willing to give up the position of crown prince, can you really let me leave Chang'an?" ”

Gong E hurriedly responded.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little stagnant, Li Chengqian punctured some things hidden under the water, Luo Juncheng did not answer, but stood up, walked to the front of the hall door, looked left and right, the partition wall had no ears, and the door was closed with a creak, "Prince, the road of King Yan is not easy to walk."

The thirteenth year of Zhenguan has gradually passed, and it is another year of fruitful governance, "Ruixue Zhaofeng year, the next year must be the year of great abundance, I hope that every year, all like this, the people of the world can live a good life." ”

That's really a joke, the national teacher has never paid attention to these things, and he doesn't even look at most of the affairs of the Tang Dynasty, only major events related to the dynasty and empire, he will appear in the imperial meeting of the political affairs hall, as well as the court meeting.

"Juncheng, you and I will go with you to see the national teacher, with you, I can rest assured."

So I am, no matter what you do, I will give you the sword, and as long as you do not break our promises and friendships, I will always be so.

Luo Su Panhuan glanced at Li Shimin a few times, "Then it seems that it is really there." ”

Huh?

Luo Junwei's eyes lit up with a crystal light, "Old Ancestor, is it really possible?" ”

Luo Su squinted his eyes slightly and said, "The prince can't do it, but other identities can." ”

It's harder than fighting a war or dealing with state affairs.

Li Chengqian was directly interrupted by this sudden sharp voice in his heart, and looked at Luo Juncheng, only to see Luo Juncheng's eyes wide open, and his face was extremely serious, "Prince, don't let anger blind your mind, don't say things that will hurt people's hearts, don't say things that will add fuel to the fire, and don't let things go to an unpredictable future."

Li Shimin was a little annoyed, "Don't make such jokes as a national teacher, the prince is the prince, I ......"

Last year, you treated Li Tai, the king of Wei, as a talented son.

He said to Luo Juncheng before that he envied King Yan, he was really envious, that was his dream, galloping on the vast grassland, instead of staying here, looking at the sword on his head, cutting off his head little by little, and affecting everyone around him.

At least, don't think about how to save yourself!

He clenched his fists tightly, and then slowly let go, giving up the inheritance of an empire, this is a decision that is difficult for anyone to make, but Li Chengqian has actually thought about it many, many times.

Time is really a great existence. ”

After changing his clothes, Luo Juncheng sat directly on the chair, "Prince, it's just a little reprimand, where in this world is there a father who doesn't scold his son, don't take it to heart." ”

Come, national teacher, replace wine with tea, and drink this cup together. ”

Li Shimin stared at Luo Su, "What is the national teacher talking about, I don't have such a mind." ”

National Teacher.

Chang'an doesn't want to stay, it's basically similar to Wu Cao's father, looking for a state south of the Yangtze River, serving as a governor or governor, and then changing places every two or three years.

Luo Juncheng's pupils shrank, stared at Li Chengqian and said, "Prince, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

Luo Junwei's eyebrows flew, and all of a sudden the whole person became vivid, as a member of the Luo family, she has a sacred feeling about the annals, what she admires most is that her aunt Luo Xuanjing was able to preside over the compilation of history books, and now, she also has such an opportunity.

Li Chengqian nodded hurriedly, he still remembered that the national teacher had seen him several times, and perhaps for the national teacher, he was also very different.

After the two left, a woman walked out from behind the screen, it turned out to be Luo Junwei, and as soon as she walked out, she asked in shock: "Ancestor, I heard it right just now, right?" ”

Luo Junwei no longer thought about the prince's question, and when she heard Luo Su ask, she nodded and sighed: "Compared to the last time I saw me, I am a little haggard, the palace is really not a good place to raise people." ”

……

In the Lingtian Pavilion, the sound of the candle flame crackled, Li Chengqian's heavy breathing, Luo Juncheng was silent, Luo Su looked at him interestingly, and said with a long smile: "You go back first." ”

Well?

Li Shimin looked at Luo Su with some doubts, even if Li Jing was capable, how could a national teacher care about a person's life and death?

I'm telling you today, not someday in the past, and you must know why. ”

Li Chengqian knelt in front of Luo Su a little nervously, and after he came to Lingtian Pavilion, he suddenly reacted, what did he do when he came to find the national teacher, what did he say?

Can you keep my position as the crown prince?

Then the future is predestined.

This melon is simply too explosive, the dignified prince actually wants to take the initiative to go out to become a vassal, and he doesn't even want the position of the prince, since ancient times, there is almost no such thing.

As soon as he entered the temple, he saw countless hanging pictures, most of which he had never seen before.

"Is this Kangguo and other places further west in the Western Regions? I seem to have seen something like this. ”

Li Shimin pointed to a picture of Kanyu and asked.
