Chapter 39: I almost persuaded the prince to be abolished

"Ajana tempers me? But I don't look like it. Aya's reward and favor to the fourth child are far greater than that of me, the crown prince. Li Chengqian was skeptical

"Big brother, you are really a fan of the authorities. Aya has been cultivating you for ten years. How can you say give up and give up. Could it be that he is cultivating the fourth brother for ten years? The fourth brother is in ruins. In the training of who for ten years. Big brother Aya is very busy, how can there be so many decades. And if you want your son to inherit the throne in the future, you will discipline you strictly every day. Or is it spoiled every day? Li Shen asked rhetorically

Li Chengqian thought about it for a while, and Li Shimin was almost forty years old. In another ten years, it will be almost fifty. How can you have so much time? And what Li Shen said in the end is very reasonable, he will definitely have to discipline his son strictly in the future. How is it possible to let him do whatever he wants.

"Big brother, in fact, I think you should thank the fourth brother." Li Shen said

"Thank you, fourth. Why. Li Chengqian was puzzled

"Big brother, you're too old. And you've been doing a great job. And Aya is only thirty-seven years old now, and you said that if you keep being alone, it will be another five years. Decade. By the time you're in the prime of life, Aya will only be in her forties. When the time comes, you will continue to be the crown prince. Let's let Aya abdicate. Aya won't be afraid that you can't wait? "What Li Shen said was a big rebellion. But when he heard Li Chengqian's ears, it was indeed like being struck by lightning.

yes, he's too old. How much of this is the case in history. The emperor deposed the crown prince. Some even killed. And there are many princes who can't wait to rebel.

"Ten brothers, these are all you come up with?" Li Chengqian asked

"Big brother, it's easy to think, it's just that you're a fan of the authorities."

"What should I do with the tenth brother?" Li Chengqian asked

"The first thing is to get rid of the bad ones. Drive away all the singers and musicians in the East Palace. Of course, you still have to play. Big brother, we are teenagers. The young man should be energetic, capable of doing things, not young and old, afraid of wolves before doing things, afraid of tigers after doing things, and procrastinating. People do not take young people lightly. Don't care about the fourth brother. Don't care about others. Don't let yourself down. Whichever girl the eldest brother likes, we will marry her back and be a concubine. If you like horses, let's go galloping. As long as you do what you do. Big brother, you're going astray now. Pay attention to the people around you. To tell you the truth, I understand that there really isn't much around you. The important thing is that you know what you're doing. It's right or wrong. If you are willing, go to Ayana to help deal with government affairs. Aya was so tired. As the eldest son, this is your responsibility. Even if he is not an emperor, he is a farmer. At this time, you, as the eldest son, should also help with the cultivation of the land. The rest is waiting to be quilted. Sooner or later, these cultivated fields are yours. ”

"And big brother, I really want to ask. Do you really want to be the emperor?" Li Shen finished staring at Li Chengqian

"Absolutely. Who in the world doesn't want to be an emperor," Li Chengqian said

"I just don't want to. What's so good about the emperor? Big brother, you can talk about it," Li Shen asked Li Chengqian

"The whole world is me. Right. Wealth. Li Chengqian said excitedly

"Big brother, you're wrong. I think being an emperor is the worst profession. Let's start with the right: you ask Ayah. Now that Aya is in such a position, can he say that he can do whatever he wants. Also right. Believe it or not. Right now, Aya is saying that the prince will be abolished in the court. King of Liwei. I can't do it. Do you believe it or not. Li Shen scoffed

"No way. Why can't it be done?" Li Chengqian did not believe

"Because the ministers will oppose it. If you don't oppose it, you won't be able to do it. If the rectification is not good, you have to leave an infamy. The court is a place of struggle. It is a place where various forces compete for interests. The emperor only represents our Li family. Believe it or not, Aya said tomorrow morning that the Taiji Palace is in disrepair, dark and damp, and needs to be repaired. Aya can't do that. But if this matter is paid for by the internal money, the ministers will not oppose it so fiercely. But the speakers can just pop up. What kind of absurdity and immorality and so on came. So big brother. The rights of the emperor were limited. ”

Li Chengqian was silent. He felt that Li Shen was right. Many of Li Shimin's ideas did not pass

"Then let's talk about money. That's a good thing. The country is not stable without agriculture, and the country is not rich without business. The money in the treasury is not the emperor's. The emperor lived on that. I don't need to talk about that. Just look at how frugal Aya is. So there is no money to be an emperor. Li Shen said again

"And you only see the glorious side of the emperor. You don't see the dedication of being an emperor. Aya went to court in the morning. You have to get out of bed at the end of the day. Every day is busy until the end of the day, and sometimes I go to bed at some time. Big brother, can you hold on for decades? And the palace is a prison. The emperor can only be in the palace. Occasionally, when I went out, a bunch of people followed, and some courtiers objected. You are now the crown prince. You can also take people around. After that, you will only be in the palace. This palace is just a prison for the emperor. The only place in the world that counts is the Imperial Palace. Everything in the world belongs to the emperor. Have you ever been? Have you seen it? There are not as many people who know the emperor as there are people who know a county order. ”

"As an emperor, you have limited rights and no money. Get up early and be greedy for darkness, and lose your freedom. The people only knew the magistrate, but they didn't know what the emperor looked like. Doing the heaviest work like an ox all his life. But you don't get what you want. can't catch up with the powerful and do whatever they want. Eldest brother. Do you think about this, Emperor? Li Shen threw a big question at Li Chengqian

Li Chengqian was seriously confused. He felt that Li Shen was right. But that's not true. I can't say what's wrong. Is such an emperor really what he wants, if it is really like what Li Shen said, then this is not the emperor he imagined.

After a long time, Li Chengqian raised his head and asked Li Shen in confusion: "Then why does Aya still want to be the emperor." ”

Because, Aya thinks that the people of the world are well fed and clothed and do not suffer from war. Because Aya wants to make life better for the people. Because Aya wants to change the world. Then why are you the emperor?" Li Shen finished speaking, leaving Li Chengqian to think alone. He walked out of the gazebo, looked up at the full moon, and whispered. "Then what kind of life do I want to live in this Datang?"

In a dark corner. The three figures stood there and listened to the conversation between Li Shen and Li Chengqian. Suddenly, one person said: "Wang De, you said that the court will repair this Daming Palace tomorrow morning, will the ministers oppose it as Li Shen said." ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave thinks it shouldn't be. The courtiers still love His Majesty very much."

"Alright, you don't need to comfort me. Li Shen is right, the court is the place of struggle. They are all seeking benefits for their own forces, and I want to represent not only the Li family but also the people of the world. ”
