Chapter 22: He's a Capable Minister
Three days later, at the foot of the deserted and cool mountain, three people in simple clothes suddenly came.
Ying'er and Lian'er were preparing lunch, and they were taken aback when they saw the visitor, and then they looked closely, and they were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed.
The person who came was none other than the newly enthroned contemporary emperor Li Shimin.
He is dressed in plain clothes, but he can't hide his luxury. On his left and right are his right-hand man Fang Xuanling and his eldest brother, the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Your Majesty, the slave will report to the second son."
Everyone knew about Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, but no one knew that he would come here at this time.
"No, what is Tyre doing now?"
"Back to the emperor, he is listening to Lord Wei's lecture."
"Oh, that's new. You're all here, I'll take a look. ”
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he walked towards a reasonably passable house, and as soon as he reached the door, Li Tai walked out of it, knelt down on his knees and said, "Sons and daughters see their father!" ”
Li Shimin was taken aback, pulled him and asked, "How do you know I'm here?" ”
"Father, Lord Wei arrived last night, and he asked his sons to come out to greet the emperor."
Li Shimin laughed and said: "Don't say it, this Wei Zheng is really not simple, what about others?" ”
Li Tai said: "Inside. ”
"He's really big, and he didn't come to greet me even if he knew I was coming? Swing score, huh? ”
With that, he stepped over the threshold and entered the house.
Where is there a figure in the house?
Li Tai also followed into the house, and said to himself: "It's strange, it's just a lot of work, and then no one is gone." Lord Wei, Lord Wei? My father is here. ”
No one answered at all, and his wife, Du Shi, was gone.
"What does he mean? Do you look down on me, the son of heaven? ”
Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and he looked around, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart.
The furnishings in the house are simple, a table is from a villager's house, and a few chairs are also worn and old. He took Li Tai's hand and said, "Son, the environment here is so difficult, are you still used to living here?" ”
Is he really a kind father?
If he loves him so much, why should he give him the position of crown prince?
Li Tai thought in his heart, but said on his lips: "It's good here, away from the city, you can calm down and study." Father, I read a lot of books with Master Wei. ”
"Did he teach you his lesson?"
"yes, but I don't know why he won't accept me as a student."
Li Shimin shook his head and said helplessly: "He can't jump this hurdle after all." Although he is a gentleman and a courtier, I am a person who cherishes his talents, so why should he? ”
Li Tai wasted no time in asking, "Father, how is the queen mother?" Does she miss her children? I miss her all the time. ”
"Of course, she asked me to take you back to the palace."
"The father himself came to pick up the child, and the child was flattered. Father, I'll pack up my things, I also miss the tightness of the queen mother. ”
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, it's just that Wei Zheng, a strong donkey, can he calculate that I am coming here today, doesn't he understand the purpose of my coming?" ”
"Of course I know, he said that in addition to taking me back to the palace, you just wanted to take him back with you."
Li Shimin was stunned and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.
In this way, Wei Zheng is really a talent, and he can even predict the future. Such a person, it's a pity that Li Jiancheng doesn't do it properly, otherwise where would he be today.
"Really? Can he really pinch and calculate? He's a genius too. ”
"Father, it's really rare that he can rip the melon on his back."
Li Shimin smiled slightly and said: "Such a person naturally has a heart that is better than dry. But where will he go? ”
"Father, he will definitely not go away, his futon is too here, he must not want to see you hiding."
"The land of the world, is it not the king's land, the leader of the coast, is it not the king's minister, he doesn't understand such a simple truth? Can you hide from the first year of junior high and hide from fifteen? Tai'er, send someone to look for it, I really won't leave if I can't see him today. ”
Li Tai hurriedly agreed, and ordered a few palace maids to look for it nearby.
At this time, Ying'er brought Fang Xuanling's eldest grandson Wuji in, Li Tai saw them one by one, and mentioned Wei Zheng's avoidance, and the two looked at each other and said, "This is too normal." ”
Li Shimin asked puzzledly: "Why is this?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty, when Dou Jiande was executed, he saw him off as the crown prince washing horses, Emperor Gaozu was furious, and now Li Jiancheng is gone, he has changed hands several times, how can he be embarrassed to see you?" ”
"Why bother? The change of dynasties and the change of ownership are common things, let alone people? Lian has always loved talents like life, and there are a large number of capable people and soldiers around him, but governance wizards like him are still very welcome. ”
"The emperor is named after Naxian, but he is Li Jiancheng's old department, and those who are on duty in the East Palace Mansion with him have fled, and they are dead, and he will only leave infamy if he follows you. I know too well about readers, you can do without anything, but face is the most important. ”
Li Shimin refused to agree: "How can people be the same, I, Li Shimin, am a good bird, and he can only give full play to his talents if he follows me." You don't have to persuade me, if I don't see him today, I won't go back to the palace. ”
At this time, Lian'er came in from outside and said, "Back to the emperor, we searched all the nearby villages and said that we had not seen him. ”
Li Tai patted his head and said, "Father, I have a way to let him come to see you." ”
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and asked, "What can you do?" You're not going to let me set fire to the mountain, are you? That's not going to work. ”
"Father, I remember that Lord Wei said that he hopes that you can worship the former prince. If you do, he'll come out to see you. ”
"No."
The first to object was Fang Xuanling.
"That's what I mean, too."
The eldest grandson has no mowgli charm and.
Why is that? What if I just worship Li Jiancheng? I am in the name of my younger brother, not in the name of the Tang Emperor. ”
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, although you are Li Jiancheng's younger brother, you are now the emperor." You used to be his brother, but now you are his emperor. The change of Xuanwumen has left too many criticisms, if you worship him, the world will definitely say that you feel guilty, and I don't say that you understand. ”
Li Shimin looked up to the sky and laughed and said: "No, you are all wrong, I am his younger brother first, and then the son of the Tang Dynasty." Tai'er, go, accompany your father to worship your uncle. ”
Li Shimin thought about this matter for several days, the winner is the king, the loser is the coward, and the pattern of struggle between the living and the dead is too small. Just when he was still wavering just now, Li Tai's words gave him determination.
What is it to do this in order to get talent?
