Chapter 37: The good descendants of the Li family
"Father, where do you start? The child is still young, and he only thinks about self-cultivation and learning knowledge, so that he can serve the Tang Dynasty in the future. ”
Li Shimin's face was full of happiness, and he took his hand and asked, "You live in Taiji Palace these days, what have you heard and seen?" Can you tell your father? ”
Li Tai replied calmly: "Father, the child is staying in the Taiji Palace this time, all for you. ”
Li Shimin asked suspiciously: "For me?" Are you sure? ”
"Of course it's true. During this time, my father was very worried, and I could see that I wanted to share some of it for my father. ”
Li Shimin was very relieved and said, "Oh, my son knows that he is worried about his father? This is very gratifying for the father. What do you see? Do you still need your help with my father's affairs? ”
"Erchen is just trying to do his best, father, you have white hair, you are still so young, it's all because you work too hard, Erchen looks so distressed."
Li Shimin touched his head, grinned and said: "The years are not forgiving, I fought in all directions when I was a teenager and suffered a lot, can I not be old?" Unlike you, who were born with a golden key. By the way, you haven't answered the joint question. ”
"Is my father a headache for the Emperor Taishang's refusal to move out of the Taiji Palace?"
Li Shimin's face sank and asked, "How do you know?" Who told you that? ”
"I didn't tell anyone, who am I? I am your son, and I know what is on your mind at a glance. Therefore the child went there for this purpose. ”
Li Shimin asked: "Can you solve my problem by living in Taiji Palace?" Can't you? ”
"Why not? In ancient times, Cao Chong was called an elephant at the age of six, and Gan Luo was a phase at the age of twelve. Erchen is almost ten years old, and he has no other skills, so he can still be a lobbyist. ”
Li Shimin stroked his beard and clapped his hands: "It can really be said that a tiger father has no dog, and he really understands a lot at a young age." You lobbied him, how was the effect? ”
Li Tai was praised, and he rejoiced in his heart, and said: "I said it, but the emperor's grandfather not only refused to move out, but also was very angry. ”
"He is still angry at ease in Taiji Palace every day? Tai'er, you are a child, don't get involved in the right and wrong between adults. Whether your imperial grandfather wants to move out of Taiji Palace or not is a matter for our father and son, and there is no need for others to participate. ”
"No, the father's business is the son's business. I am confident that I will convince Grandpa Huang. ”
Li Shimin looked at him seriously, and said disapprerovingly: "Tai'er, I have countless civil ministers and military generals in the Tang Dynasty, all of them are elites, where do you need to worry about this child?" It's better for you to be your Yidu King. ”
"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband. Emperor Taishang's move out of Taiji Palace is a family matter of our Tang Li family, so why do outsiders need to participate? If you can't even settle this little thing, won't it make the world laugh? ”
Li Shimin looked at Li Tai in amazement, with mixed feelings.
The good news is that the children are sensible and responsible. The worry is that this child is superior to the eldest son in all aspects, if one day their brother breaks out again for the position of the crown prince, and history repeats itself, wouldn't it become a joke in the world?
"Oh, so you're already ready?"
"Eight or nine is not far from ten. Father, you know that there is no free lunch in this world, I can persuade the emperor's grandfather to move out of the Taiji Palace, you have to promise him one thing. ”
Li Shimin's face changed slightly, and he said: "Li Tai, the king of Yidu, I am the emperor, do you still have conditions with the emperor?" Did you know that this is going to kill the head? ”
Li Tai smiled calmly and said: "I know, I also know that my father loves my son like my life, no matter what we do, you will not be angry." It is precisely because you are such an emperor who implements benevolent government and a good father that I dare to put forward conditions for the emperor's grandfather and you. ”
Li Shimin was praised by Li Tai, and his anger disappeared, and he asked with a sigh of relief: "What conditions does he have, it doesn't matter?" ”
"Father, you are the father of the most favored children in the world, and the emperor's grandfather is also a father, he has lost three sons and a dozen grandchildren, and he hopes that you can save these children he is still alive."
After speaking, Li Tai looked at Li Shimin steadily.
He didn't have any bottom in his heart, he knew that their father-son relationship had come to naught as early as the Xuanwumen Change, would he care about Li Yuan's feelings?
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin looked up to the sky and said with a long smile: "What kind of condition is this?" Son, you tell him, deal! ”
"If you don't have any evidence, you have to give an edict, right?"
Li Tai said boldly.
It is said that the emperor is ruthless, if he turns his hands like clouds and turns his hands into rain, how to explain to the emperor.
"What edict do you want? I am the Son of Heaven, so I am naturally a golden mouth, can I still change my hexagram? ”
Li Tai thought about it, too.
Li Shimin is Li Shimin, definitely different from his father Li Yuan, if he fulfilled his promise to make Li Shimin the crown prince at that time, there would not have been a change in Xuanwumen, and he would not have messed up like this.
"Okay, of course the child will believe in his father, his father's wisdom and benevolence are unprecedented, so I'll go and talk to the emperor's grandfather."
watched Li Tai jump and go to the Taiji Palace.
Li Shimin sighed, originally he planned to use Pei Lin to open the knife and force Li Yuan to leave the Taiji Palace. Helplessly, his wife disagreed, saying that he couldn't be too many, Pei Lin was the founding minister who made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and unloading the mill and killing the donkey would affect his reputation and a series of reasons.
If you can quietly force Li Yuan to leave the Taiji Palace, not only to keep your reputation but also to achieve your goal, why not?
Finding someone to do Li Yuan's work, he didn't think about it, the problem is that there is no suitable candidate. Unexpectedly, his second son, Li Tai, had the foresight to take on this task.
He looked at Li Tai's back, and his heart was warm.
He is fed up with the life of separation from father and son, and longs to have the joy of ordinary family. But because of the struggle for power, their brothers had to fight each other to the death.
Li Tai returned to Taiji Palace and couldn't wait to find Zhang Meiren.
He wanted to know how well she had done the ideological work for Li Yuan?
"He refused, and I was helpless."
Zhang Meiren was holding Li Li in her arms, and her head was very low.
"Why? Won't he not understand such a simple truth? Zhang Meiren, aren't you worried that your flesh and blood will leave you one day? The smell of blood wafts over the Qi Palace's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion until now, and it is the blood of the descendants of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"You don't have to persuade me, who do you think I am? I'm just a doll, a who entertains him. ”
Zhang Meiren stared at the child in her arms without distraction, as if she was afraid that it would disappear in a blink of an eye.
Li Tai's mood is urgent, he got Li Shimin's dictation, and he gave him a guarantee, if he can't do this, what capital will he have in front of him in the future?
