Volume 4 Chapter 316 Li Er is helpless, Li Yuan is vicious.
As for how it is different, Li Er is very clear.
The court of the Ming Dynasty is Li Chengqian's hall, which is the confidence of the founding monarch.
But Datang is not his word, he can't do it, this is his helplessness.
He didn't really want to send troops to Goguryeo right away, just to send such a signal.
Tell everyone about his attitude and thoughts, and when it is really necessary to send troops to Goguryeo, everyone will not feel so abrupt.
But one thing is certain, that is, Li Er will definitely move troops this year.
Li Chengqian did put unprecedented pressure on him.
I'm still alive, do you want to be strong and win over your ancestors?
In addition to this, there is a problem.
That is, the ministers of the Tang Dynasty were too tolerant of Li Chengqian.
It may be difficult to understand this, in other words, if today's Ming court was made up by another prince, then the ministers are definitely not the current attitude.
The reason is very simple, if the king of the Ming Dynasty is someone else, it may not be a good thing for the future Datang.
When Li Erlong returned to heaven, the battle for the throne was even more terrifying than the Xuanwumen change back then.
Even Datang is in danger of falling apart.
But this person is Li Chengqian, so it's different.
In the final analysis, Li Chengqian is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty, and the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
In this case, what is the difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty?
No matter how powerful the current Ming court is, it will eventually become a part of the Tang Dynasty.
As long as the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty is Li Chengqian, it will be fine.
Moreover, the most important thing is that as the Ming court becomes stronger and stronger, Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince becomes more and more stable.
Even if Li Chengqian won the crown in the Taiji Hall at the beginning, who dares to say that he is not the prince of the Tang Dynasty now?
The so-called indisputable is fighting, and that's what it means.
If Li Chengqian still stays in the East Palace, then the person who decides Li Chengqian's future must be Li Er.
But now, who knows the future of Li Chengqian?
Even if Li Er's convulsions really deprived Li Chengqian of the crown prince, what would it be?
There is also the Ming Dynasty, which has become the founding emperor of the country, and even the temple name can be called the ancestor, do you say that people are not angry?
The most important thing is that Li Er is really going to take away Li Chengqian's crown prince now, can the Manchu Dynasty civil and military agree?
No, in layman's terms, Li Chengqian has proved with practical actions that he is not only a qualified prince, but also that he is a wise monarch in terms of what he is doing now.
They don't want such a prince, what kind of do they want?
And for them, there is also an issue that they have to consider.
That is, if the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not Li Chengqian, then how should the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty get along?
Will Li Chengqian be angry and raise troops, thus dragging the newly stabilized world into a quagmire like the end of the Sui Dynasty again?
Therefore, now Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince is really stable.
Don't look at everything Li Chengqian does not for that position, but in fact, his every move is adding weight to his position as the crown prince.
In this way, Li Er was a little uncomfortable or aggrieved.
….
As an emperor, it is not up to me to decide who will be the future heir, do you think he will be happy or not?
It's not that Li Chengqian dislikes him, on the contrary, he is very satisfied with Li Chengqian's current performance. But it's just uncomfortable, that feeling of losing control, that makes him very unhappy.
This is not a contradiction.
Especially now that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have almost decided that Li Chengqian is the future successor, what do you make him think?
Don't forget, he was an emperor first and a father last.
Shaking his head, Li Er said, "Don't be in a hurry, but Goguryeo still has to fight after all.
Now they occupy most of Liaodong, and they border the grassland, if they don't curb it now, if they control the grassland in the future, they will be in danger of going south at any time and overthrowing the dynasty."
Everyone nodded when they heard this, this is indeed the truth.
Although Li Er urgently needed a big battle to prove himself, he didn't just want to prove that he was better than his son, so he used troops at will.
For the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo is by no means as simple as the lack of Jinou, why since the former Sui Dynasty, the two dynasties and the four emperors will mobilize troops against Goguryeo, is because the geographical location of Goguryeo is indeed a threat to the Central Plains Dynasty.
However, from Li Er's words, everyone also heard that Li Er's attitude towards sending troops to Goguryeo was very resolute.
Today, it is to talk to everyone, or rather, let everyone have a psychological preparation in advance.
Although Li Er can't be like Li Chengqian in the Tang Dynasty, but throughout the dynasties, Li Er can definitely be regarded as a strong emperor.
The reason why sometimes you have to compromise is that there is no way to do it.
Comparing Li Chengqian of the Ming Dynasty with Li Er of the Tang Dynasty is actually very unfair to Li Er.
How big is Da Ming?
Li Chengqian is also the Zhennan Mansion and the Zhenbei Mansion...... Is your entire Ming court as big as a state capital in the Tang Dynasty?
Although Datang has experienced the turbulent times of the end of the Sui Dynasty and the population has plummeted, there are still more than 3 million households.
See, that's a household!
The total population of Daming is only more than 300,000, how many times is this difference?
"Your Majesty, instead of doing something to Goguryeo now, it's better to plot Tuyuhun." At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said, "Tuyuhun has repeatedly disrespected my Datang over the years, and we didn't have time to clean them up before, but now it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not to mention that Tuyuhun has suffered snow disasters in recent years, and the national strength has been greatly damaged.
The most important thing is that there is a Ming in the south of him, he doesn't dare, and he can't be unguarded.
In this way, it will be much easier to take Tuyuhun, and if His Highness responds to it in the south, Tuyuhun will almost be able to find it."
Hearing him say this, Li Er smiled.
Is the eldest grandson Wuji wrong?
Actually, no, indeed, in its current form, it is indeed the best time to take Tuyuhun.
The Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty sent troops together, and Tuyuhun would encounter the danger of annihilation in an instant.
But Li Er won't do this, it's not that he doesn't look down on Tuyuhun, but as an emperor or as a father's pride, he won't let him do it.
"Don't you know what Gao Ming's intentions are?" Li Er shook his head, "Tuyuhun just let him toss, if he wants to prove himself, then let him prove himself."
….
I'm also curious about how far the future Ming court can go."
This is a contradiction, Li Er felt that Li Chengqian had given him a lot of pressure before, and now he asked him to prove himself, which really sounds a little incomprehensible.
But in fact, it's actually quite understandable.
To put it bluntly, Li Er also has his own pride.
He wants to prove himself and prove that his father will always be your father.
But he definitely didn't use the method that Eldest Sun Wuji said to prove himself, absolutely not.
Does Li Er want the Ming court?
Yes, that's for sure.
The Ming Dynasty is really amazing, and the things produced by the Ming Dynasty really opened his eyes.
He wants to want, but there are some things he will never do.
What's the matter, it's not enough to kill my brother and force my father, I have to add another tiger poison eater?
That's one alone, and he's not going to do that.
At least, Li Er still cares about face at this time.
Besides, Tuyuhun can't run again.
If Li Chengqian really can't take Tuyuhun in the end, he is sure to beat Tuyuhun again.
When the time comes, it will be clear who is the father and who is the son
Finish?
As for the others, they also smiled and did not speak.
Li Chengqian's plan basically belongs to Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it, who doesn't know?
"But speaking of which, those crafts of Da Ming are worth learning." Fang Xuanling said with a smile, "Nowadays, everything on the market that can cause a sensation must be from Daming, whether it should be said or not, Daming's craftsmanship is indeed slightly stronger than Datang."
He's a little better than that, it's a little interesting.
Is this slightly stronger?
It's not a grade at all.
Li Er also nodded and said, "I also recognize this, Ministry of Works, can we make progress on the crossbow we obtained from the previous transaction with Da Ming?"
For Daming's craftsmanship, no matter who it is, you have to say a word of convincing.
When Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, heard this, he immediately stood up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry is still researching, but although the repeater crossbow produced by the Ming Dynasty looks inconspicuous, when it is really disassembled, the complexity of the parts is also extremely rare, and the Ministry of Industry still can't figure it out for such a long time."
Speaking of this, Duan Lun was a little helpless.
Li Er nodded and said, "Don't worry, take your time, since Da Ming can produce it, I believe that my craftsmen of Da Tang can also produce it."
Duan Lun nodded, but didn't say anything more.
Recently, their Ministry of Industry has been embarrassed, so it's better to talk less.
But neither Li Er nor Duan Lun grasped the key point of the matter.
The status and treatment of craftsmen in Datang are too low!
In this era, craftsmen are not valued, in fact, they are not only craftsmen, in this era, except for scholars and farmers, other industries are not to mention value, and it is good not to discriminate.
In such an environment, it is not difficult to understand the lack of creativity of craftsmen.
"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty intended to ask the Tang Dynasty to send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to facilitate friendly relations between the two countries.
And Daming's side means that Wang Dequan will be stationed in Datang for a long time, as an envoy of Daming to Datang.
….
Datang's side has not given a clear answer all along, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks." Seeing Duan Lun retreat, Fang Xuanling stood up again and brought up the old matter again.
Li Er smiled when he heard this.
Li Chengqian is now becoming more and more sophisticated.
The exchange of envoys between the two countries is just a gesture of goodwill by Li Chengqian.
It's like I don't promise you that you can recall Wang Dequan.
"Since Gao Ming has this idea, then it is up to him." Li Er smiled, "Is there a suitable candidate?"
Fang Xuanling said: "The household department gave some candidates before, but Weichen has a better candidate."
As she spoke, Fang Xuanling laughed herself.
If this person is sent over, I don't know how Li Chengqian will react.
Li Er was also interested, and asked curiously, "Who?"
"Lu Zhengqing." Fang Xuanling said, "Since His Royal Highness interceded for them last year, Lu Zhengqing has become a little incompatible with those people, and it is a little inappropriate to continue to stay in the Yushitai. Moreover, he has been repeatedly excluded by him in the court recently, so it is better to directly send him to the Ming Dynasty to make the best use of it.
Although this person is from a noble family, he is an upright person, and he has talent and learning, and the most important thing is ......."
Speaking of which, Fang Xuanling stopped squeaking.
But when everyone heard it, they immediately understood.
Even Li Er laughed.
This is indeed the most suitable person.
What Lu Zhengqing wants to say, he still has to learn.
Last year in the Taiji Palace, when he angrily reprimanded Li Chengqian, which sentence 'If you want to wear his crown, you must bear its weight, it is still fresh in his memory.
These eight words are really concise and to the point.
As for what Fang Xuanling didn't finish, he also understood.
The reason why the Shi clan can be called the Shi clan is because their family has a big business and a large number of clansmen.
Fang Xuanling wanted to tear a hole out.
Not to mention, from Cui Mingyuan last year to Lu Zhengqing now, the scholar clan may not be able to tear a hole.
Of course, the reason why Fang Xuanling did this was actually to fight back against the Shi clan.
He was bent on revitalizing culture and education, but last time, those guys from the scholar clan actually wanted to criticize the revitalization of culture and education that had just begun in the court, how could he not move at all.
The reason why there was no reaction before was just waiting for an opportunity.
Now, the timing is just right.
"Then let Lu Zhengqing go." Li Er smiled, "It seems that we still need to arrange a guard, right?"
"Yes." Fang Xuanling said, "Your Highness means that the number of guards cannot exceed 100."
Li Er nodded and said, "This matter will be arranged for Xi Jun to buy, and let him select ninety-eight people to send an envoy to Daming with Lu Zhengqing."
Hearing Li Er say this, Fang Xuanling didn't say anything more.
"Come, gentlemen, drink to victory." Li Er smiled and picked up his glass, "Don't forget, tonight is the county king's celebration banquet."
Li Xiaogong smiled when he heard this, and was the first to stand up: "Drink to win."
Next, it's really drinking and having fun, but there's not much to say.
And in Tai'an Palace, Li Yuan rarely drank two glasses alone.
Since his abdication, he has either been making man or on the way to making man.
For him, it seems that in addition to creating people, there is really nothing to do, nothing to do, not only ......
….
Over the years, he has added a lot of younger brothers and sisters to Li Er, but Li Er doesn't care about these things, and he can't care about them.
However, since Li Chengqian gained a firm foothold in Tuyuhun and after the Ming Dynasty raised the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan was willing to take out a gap in the creation of a man and drink two glasses by himself.
He was just waiting for his son and grandson to end up.
It is clear that he just wants to watch a play and watch a big show.
It is said that knowing the son is Mo Ruo's father, this is not false at all, what kind of person is Li Er, he has the right to speak, otherwise, how could he have said that sentence 'Compared to Gao Ming, he is not inferior by half a point?' , didn't he know that this would reach Li Er's ears?
He knew, but he did it on purpose.
Don't forget, he was also an emperor.
When Li Er was still the king of Qin, he put a lot of pressure on him, otherwise why would he make Li Jiancheng the crown prince?
Isn't it just to suppress Li Er. (The plot requires it, don't raise the bar.) )
Of course, many people think that Li Jiancheng is the eldest son, so it is logical to be the crown prince.
Is it really that simple?
It is no exaggeration to say that almost half of the Tang Dynasty was beaten down by Li Er, Li Yuan didn't have a little count in his heart?
It is true that there is no problem in ordinary people where the father is weak and the son is strong, but in the royal family, especially if the father is still the emperor, that is a big problem.
With his own life, he was afraid of the King of Qin, who was strong and strong at that time.
So will Li Er be jealous of his son who can definitely be called a young talent?
Yes, for sure!
As time passed, Li Er would only become more and more jealous.
Don't look at Li Er, who is still very proud and has his own persistence.
Hehe, just wait, when he is old and has more than enough strength to do so, and when Li Chengqian is getting fuller, the duel between these two fathers and sons will really begin.
The right thing, that's really the most tempting thing in the world.
As long as it is contaminated, who will give up?
"Your Majesty, it's cold, should you rest early?" As soon as Li Yuan finished drinking the wine in the cup, a waiter said.
Li Yuan smiled, "What time is it?"
"It's three o'clock." The chamberlain said.
Hearing him say this, Li Yuan nodded, "It's so late?" There was some surprise in his tone, but he quickly smiled again, "Rest, I have more."
Live for a few years, the future is really exciting, and there may be an unprecedented drama."
When the chamberlain heard this, he smiled and said nothing.
This is the only one who dares to think so.
"Then Your Majesty wants that concubine to sleep tonight?" The chamberlain laughed.
Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I have to take care of it, otherwise where will I have a good body to watch the show in the future?"
He knew that this word would reach Li Er's ears.
But does he care?
He cares about a fart, he cursed Li Er's son many years ago that he would also kill each other, so he said it, he still cares about this?
Besides, what else can Li Er do with him.
Li Er can kill anyone, he can kill, but he can't kill Li Yuan if he doesn't dare.
Even if Li Yuan suddenly died violently, Li Er had to explain it to the whole world.
Because Datang founded the country with filial piety, it's as simple as that.
As for where Li Er and Li Chengqian will go in the end, it is difficult to say, anyway, Li Yuan feels that there will be a big battle if these two guys don't get it in the end.
That's why he wants to live a few more years, such a big war, he only needs to watch this life once and have no regrets.
As for who wins and who loses in the end, hehe, what does it have to do with him Li Yuan?
He just wanted to see a big show.
Even if the father and son are dead, so what?
Could it be that no one in his Li family can inherit this huge country?
The emperor has no family affection, and Li Yuan has interpreted this sentence to the extreme.
But judging from his performance, you can know how much he hated the changes in Xuanwumen back then!
Of course, what he hated was nothing more than Li Er taking away the Tang Dynasty's country from him.
That's all.
Rights, as long as they are contaminated with this thing, human nature is worthless.
His is worthless, and Li Er's is also worthless!
The battle for the throne has always been bloody.
That's right.
Zhenguan has no prince.
Go intoxicating
