Chapter 504

Being responsible for the empire is a responsibility that Li Chengqian has given to himself in his heart.

As a prince who has been divided, he doesn't have to be so responsible for Datang.

At the very least, you don't have to be responsible to the extent that you do your best and leave your country behind.

The reason why he is responsible is very simple, because he feels that he has been sorry for Li Shimin's training.

Because he had disappointed his mother.

He had to pay it back.

So being responsible for Datang, a country built by his parents, is the best way he can think of.

Li Kuan knew what he was thinking when he looked at Li Chengqian's appearance, sneered, and said nothing more.

He looked down on Li Chengqian's self-imposed behavior.

If he is transferred to Li Chengqian's position, let alone soliciting responsibility for himself, he will have a conscience if he does not kick the responsibility outward.

You must know that Li Chengqian is genuine, Li Shimin's teaching and mastery is nothing, Li Shimin gave up and did not teach, and he grew barbaric to an extremely awesome level.

To be honest, Li Kuan couldn't help but wonder what Li Shimin taught?

How did Li Shimin teach Li Chengqian to be a waste?

Of course, Li Kuan also admitted that Li Shimin definitely taught the basic knowledge of the teaching.

Otherwise, Li Chengqian would not have done everything smoothly when he rose to prominence.

But no matter what, Li Chengqian doesn't have to have an attitude of going to the soup for my father's industry.

Anyway, he thinks it won't be, but he has his own thoughts, and everything is just as it happens.

The two put down to talk, and Li Yan walked over with a young man.

"I've seen two uncles."

Li Yan saluted respectfully.

Li Kuan and Li Chengqian glanced at each other.

They knew this young man, who was Li Yan's younger brother.

"What's the matter?"

Raising his eyebrows lazily, Li Kuan was a little curious about Li Yan's intentions.

Now that Li Yan can use a lot of resources, even if he wants to take care of his family, there is no need to come to him.

In any case, he is a prince, and he has not a lot of resources at his disposal.

What's more, he still has a hidden identity.

"Bring my brother to thank you for your support back then."

Li Yan's face was full of seriousness.

Li Kuan was slightly surprised, not quite understanding the meaning of this sentence.

Support?

He didn't remember that he had ever supported Li Yan.

Faced with Li Kuan's doubts, Li Yan and his younger brother Li Yanqing laughed together.

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Brother, I said that Your Majesty must have forgotten." ”

"Your Majesty has always been gracious to the world, but whether you remember it or not is another topic."

Li Yanqing is the opposite of his brother Li Yan.

Li Yan usually shows that he is as gentle as jade.

Li Yanqing showed bohemianism.

Li Kuan thought about it, but still didn't think about it.

Li Yan had no choice but to speak: "Our family has lived in Lingnan for a while. ”

"There was a time when our family was very poor, and when we heard that you were giving grace in Lingnan, we went."

"We went to Central Asia later to rise up."

Li Kuan suddenly realized.

However, Li Kuan couldn't help but speak: "Then your family is quite miserable." ”

"In the end, only you two brothers were left."

Generally, the Li family who goes to Lingnan is a few people, or even a dozen people.

Only those who are left alone are taken care of by local wealthy families.

Li Yan's family must have been a case where more than a dozen people lived alone.

Now there are only two brothers, and it can only be said that they fought very badly in Central Asia.

Li Yan and Li Yanqing glanced at each other and said with a wry smile: "Well, that's right." ”

"Our family is miserable."

"However, it is precisely because of the fighting efforts of the elders in the family that our brothers have the opportunity to meet the crown prince Chang'an, so that I can give my younger brother a chance to rise."

Li Yan smiled very freely.

Li Kuan nodded, it is true.

When Chang'an went to Central Asia, he had the idea of choosing a husband in the distant branch.

And the female prince's choice of husband, although she has not made much fanfare, the opportunity to contact her is bound to be in short supply.

If you don't have some connections, you can't do it.

Li Yan can only come into contact with it, and it can only be said that his father's generation left enough contacts, resources and reputation for the Li family to fight in Central Asia.

"It's not easy for every family to rise."

"The grave grass of the family that wants to take the easy road to rise is already three battles high, just like the Helan family."

"The family that used to be almost the same as the Hou family can now only rely on the Hou family and King Qin to survive."

"Completely reduced to a vassal family."

Li Kuan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Helan's house is ruined.

The orphans of the Helan family brought back by the eldest lady of the martial family are not in the climate, and now they live with the eldest lady of the martial family on the assets left by the Yang family.

If it weren't for the eldest lady of the martial family who didn't know what was going on and hooked up with Li Zhi, and Li Zhi said a word to the Cui family, I'm afraid that the fief that the Helan family exchanged for the life of the whole clan back then would be gone.

Now the Helan family is only the son-in-law of Hou Junji, and the Helan Chushi lineage is only supported by the kindness of the Hou family, Helan Chushi and Li Chengqian.

As Hou Junji got older and older, the Hou family began to hand over power, and the Helan family did not have a good time.

That's why Li Kuancai sighed for a while.

Li Yan and Li Yanqing also sighed in their hearts.

Indeed it is.

Some families really can't be said.

The Helan family is still lucky, with Hou Junji and Li Kuan pulling it back then, and there are many families who are not so lucky, and now they don't even have children.

Li Kuan and Li Chengqian felt it even more deeply.

From the beginning of the tenth year of Zhenguan to the present, in just thirty-three years, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty have shuffled several times.

Among them, there is the rise of the Su family like Li Chengqian's father-in-law, the decline of the Helan family, and the five surnames and Qiwang, Hongnong Yang and other families are high and never fall.

The rising and the unfalling, both of which have paid a huge price.

In order to maintain the lintel and strength of the family, they are constantly making changes.

"If you two brothers really think that I am kind to you, then you should take good care of my good niece Chang'an, assist her more, and make her the empress of the ages, not only because of her female status, but also because of her ability."

After Li Kuan finished sighing, he let the two brothers leave.

He didn't want to say anything more, he didn't need to repay the favor.

Repaying the favor is not suitable for him.

Li Kuan's mood was slightly heavy, and after the party dispersed, he refused to be followed by the guards and walked around the palace alone.

After strolling around, I came to the Taiji Hall.

Let the soldiers of the Left Guard, who are in charge of guarding the door, open the gate.

Soon a eunuch and a maid offered candles.

Looking at the sweat on their faces, Li Kuan knew that they were coming running.

Looking at the high throne, a complicated look flashed in Li Kuan's eyes, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"It has been more than 40 years since I traveled, and my achievements are worthy of the ancestors of the Li family."

"Your Majesty Taizong, I took good care of the country you handed over to me."

"Today's Datang is very brilliant."

"I believe that the future of Datang will be even more brilliant."

"I have also paved the way for the Li family to exit in the future, and it has been written in the suicide note."

Li Kuan stood in the Taiji Hall and muttered to the throne.

This scene frightened many guards, and they hurriedly went to invite Wu Mei.

As soon as Wu Mei came, she gave Li Kuan a big blow.

Li Kuan looked at him suspiciously.

Tears fell from the corners of Wu Mei's eyes.

"I heard Concubine Yang say that His Majesty Taizong likes to talk to himself when he is old."

Li Kuan snorted and stood up, hugged Wu Mei into his arms, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, I'm just sighing for a while." ”
