Li Chengqian's road to the crown prince was not smooth, and it could even be said to be rugged and bumpy.

Although Li Chengqian was made the crown prince after Li Shimin ascended the throne, this does not mean that Li Shimin is satisfied with him.

In fact, Li Chengqian is only a Chinese person, but he is sincere and filial, and he is not outstanding compared with his younger brother.

And his father is Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, amazingly talented, Wen Taowu is the top among the emperors of all dynasties, there is such an excellent father, but the son is so mediocre, naturally Li Shimin is a little unhappy.

You must know that wishing for a son to become a Chan is the wish of every parent.

What's more, as the crown prince, he will inherit the throne of the Tang Emperor in the future. Li Shimin couldn't help but measure the prince according to his own standards.

It's just that he forgot that he is amazingly talented, the posture of the dragon and phoenix, the watch of the sky, how many people in the world can compare? What's more, the crown prince is just a Chinese talent.

At this time, his other son, King Wei, was extremely intelligent, which naturally made Li Shimin like King Wei more. But Li Shimin knew that the prince was the prince of the country and could not be replaced at will, and he had no intention of replacing the prince.

But some of his preferences made King Wei have thoughts that he shouldn't have. In his mind, his brother is not as good as himself, just because he was born two years early and is the prince, he is not convinced. The crown prince should let his father's smartest son be the right.

What's more serious is that the crown prince Li Chengqian contracted an illness a few years ago, although he was cured, but there was a problem with his leg, even if Wang's doctor came to diagnose and treat him, there was no way to make his foot recover, and finally became lame.

The Tang Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the common Heavenly Khan of the Western Regions of the Grassland, how majestic it is, but the crown prince is a lame man, which will make those barbarians laugh at me There is no one in the Tang Dynasty. King Wei thought so in his heart, and even felt that only he was the most suitable prince.

Li Shimin was not dissatisfied with the prince because of the prince's lameness, as a father, he had a lot of feelings for his son, and never thought of giving up the prince, and even in order to train the prince, Li Shimin prepared a team of teachers for him.

The prince and the prince, the prince, the taifu, the taibao, the young master, the young master, and the young security are all in the world, with outstanding prestige and knowledge.

Li Shimin wanted these people to carefully teach the prince and make the prince excellent.

But although Li Shimin's idea is good, he doesn't understand that his profound knowledge and reputation have nothing to do with whether he can be a good teacher.

Profound knowledge and prestige can only show that he is intelligent, serious in learning, and his teachers teach well, but it does not mean that he himself can educate students.

And Li Shimin's choice of these people is precisely the people who will not teach students.

In the past, when Li Gang was the prince and prince, because he had taught the prince Yang Yong in the former Sui and knew how to educate students, Li Gang and the prince got along very well.

Li Gang could only enter the palace in a sedan chair because of his foot disease, so Li Chengqian personally led his teacher to the palace and saluted respectfully, and humbly asked him for advice, with a very respectful attitude. After Li Gang died of illness, Cheng Qian personally erected a monument for his teacher.

The master and apprentice got along very well, and the prince's performance also satisfied Li Shimin.

But after Li Gang died of illness, the ministers who took over were completely different from Li Gang.

Although Wang Xuanjing is the crown prince's concubine, because of the heavy state affairs, he will only spare an hour in three days to teach the prince, and more often, others will teach the prince.

Wang Xuanjing found out that there was a sign of this because his son told him that the king of Wei invited him to the banquet many times, Wang Chengyue as the prince of the prince, as the son of the prime minister Wang Xuanjing, what did the king of Wei do when he repeatedly invited him to the banquet?

Wang Chengyue is not a fool, not to mention that he is also extremely smart, and he can see through King Wei's small abacus at a glance.

It was taboo to intersect with the prime minister of the dynasty as a vassal king, so he wanted to take a roundabout route. Wang Chengyue did not go to the banquet of the King of Wei, and did not even meet the people sent by the King of Wei.

When he learned that his son was invited by King Wei, Wang Xuanjing immediately became vigilant in his heart. In his opinion, although Li Chengqian is not smart enough, he is far inferior to Li Shimin, but he is just a middle-aged person.

But how many people in this world can compare to Li Shimin? Not to mention the emperor?

As for standing tall and virtuous, in Wang Xuanjing's view, what is virtuous? How do you judge a virtuous person? Who is qualified to judge the wise?

Yang Jian was talented and intelligent, and it can be said that among the emperors of the past dynasties, there are few who are smarter than him, is this virtuous? But what did he do when he ascended the throne?

What's more, he knows this so-called 'virtuous' too well. Isn't that the way those big families used to be filial piety and honesty in the past?

Therefore, the so-called virtuous is too variable. Wang Xuanjing preferred to appoint Li Chengqian, whom he was familiar with, as the crown prince.

After hearing what his son said, Wang Xuanjing put down his official duties and went to the East Palace in person, wanting to meet the prince.

The atmosphere in the East Palace was very depressing, and several ministers who taught the prince were all competing to advise, and their words were even more fierce than the other. It's even pathological.

When Wang Xuanjing walked into the East Palace, he heard Yu Zhining say loudly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the East Palace is already luxurious enough, why do you still need to build a palace." It is necessary to know that the Sui Dynasty fell because of its disregard for the people. ”

"And indulging in singing and dancing in the palace, does His Royal Highness want to learn from Emperor Yang Guang of Sui?"

On the other side, Kong Yingda also said sharply: "Your Highness doesn't want to study, doesn't care about the government, indulges in this song and dance all day long, and is in the company of those flattering people, do you want to learn from the King of the Wine Pond Meat Forest?" ”

"Your Majesty's envoys have come to teach Your Highness, and your Highness can't sit idly by and watch His Highness waste his studies and indulge in pleasure, and ask His Highness to get rid of these flattering people, study hard, and care about the government!"

Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda's voices were extremely intense, Wang Xuanjing frowned when he heard it, especially after hearing the so-called Jiuchi Meat Forest, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he immediately said unceremoniously: "Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining, is this how you teach the prince?" ”

Kong Yingda and Yu Zhining heard Wang Xuanjing's voice, their faces changed slightly, and they turned around and said, "It turned out to be Wang Xiang, Your Majesty asked me to wait for the professor to be the prince, does Wang Xiang think there is something wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty asked you to teach the prince, and that's how you teach? If the prince is wrong, you can reason with him, you can debate with him, but what are you doing? ”

"To build a house is to be unsympathetic to the people, and to watch singing and dancing is to indulge in pleasure? And Di Xin's loss of the country is also his fault, but how did I not know the so-called Jiuchi Meat Forest, how did you know? ”

Wang Xuanjing's voice was loud, and he was even more angry at this time, so Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda were intimidated by his momentum, and they didn't know how to speak for a while.

Immediately shook his hand and said: "Since the king is dissatisfied, then ask Your Majesty to judge!" With that, he turned and left.
