Li Shimin was not shocked or surprised by Li Chengqian's words, when Li Chengqian said those words before, Li Shimin had a premonition, or some of Li Chengqian's behaviors during this period of time made Li Shimin realize his thoughts.

"Why?" Li Shimin asked very calmly.

"My son can't afford it." Li Chengqian sighed, "As the eldest son, Erchen actually has this obligation, and Erchen has been studying hard, all along, Erchen feels that if he succeeds to the throne, he doesn't dare to say that he can become a Ming monarch like you, but as a monarch of succession, there should be no problem." ”

"But one of the national policies proposed by San Lang, Erchen found that Erchen couldn't keep up, or many ideas, Erchen didn't have any basic concepts in his mind, and he was not afraid to let his father know that during this period of time, Erchen had read a lot of history books and wanted to find some answers from the books of the sages."

"It's just that the result made Erchen very disappointed."

Li Shimin nodded: "Tell me in detail." ”

"Erchen found some ideas similar to the national policy proposed by Saburo, but it is only an idea, but there are no specific examples, no specific implementation of the policy, even if the idea is good, what is the use? is like what San Lang once said, he thinks that everyone in this world has books to read, a house to live in, a full meal, and even time to play around every year, without worrying about natural and man-made disasters. ”

But these ideas are also in place, and the question is what about specific measures? How is it governed? A good policy can benefit all people, but a wrong policy can cause a country to collapse. ”

And how many of these policies did Saburo propose? Twenty-one! Li Chengqian said with a wry smile.

"It's twenty-two now." Li Shimin was also a little helpless, and then told Li Chengqian about the article that Li Ke proposed before leaving, about the central money bank of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengqian: "......"

"Father, you said, if the son succeeds to the throne, what can the son do? At that time, won't the ministers still have to consult San Lang? The question is, what could have been solved directly by Saburo himself had to go through my hands, what was this purpose? Wouldn't it be okay to just let San Lang be this prince? Li Chengqian also directly clarified the problem.

"Moreover, since this period of time, Erchen has also thought a lot, about the primogeniture inheritance system, Erchen feels very inappropriate, if Erchen's eldest son is a fool, Erchen will also put a huge country and the fate of tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty into the hands of such a person?"

"It is said that the husband is not guilty of his crimes, if he does not have the ability to sit in this position, it is not only the people of the world who are mistaken, but also himself!"

"Therefore, the sons feel that this system itself is not right, and the emperor should choose the most capable one from among the many princes, and the prince should not be established at a young age, at least after the princes become adults, they should be evaluated according to their daily performance, knowledge, experience, and many other aspects to appoint a prince."

"In the end, it was determined in the form of a testament, and the sons felt that it was very good, so that the princes could be relatively avoided from fighting each other." Li Chengqian said what he had been thinking about during this period of time, and how to try to ensure that the princes did not put their main abilities on the struggle for the throne.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, and then said helplessly: "I also understand what you said, the question is do you see San Lang's thoughts?" He didn't want to be the emperor at all, he just wanted to be a free prince. ”

"As for why he's doing what he is doing, do you know why? It's just that he thinks that if Datang is not prosperous enough and advanced enough, there are not many interesting places. Not enough for him to play. Li Shimin was a little speechless, "That's why he thought of these ways to make the Tang Dynasty peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so that he can enjoy the mountains and rivers with peace of mind." ”

"This is one of them, and the other is that now those ministers of the gate valve do not agree to remove your crown prince position and let San Lang take the throne."

Li Chengqian immediately sat up straight, and he quickly spoke: "Actually, Erchen has a way. ”

"You say." Li Shimin was a little curious.

"Father, do you remember what San Lang told you, to promote the rights of hundreds of officials, weaken the rights of the emperor, and make you less tired." Li Chengqian said quickly, Li Shimin communicated with him about this matter.

Li Shimin nodded, this is after Li Ke told him at the beginning, he later told Li Chengqian about it, of course, Chang Lin and Qi Lang, by the way, when he went to the military camp to inspect before, Li Ke also mentioned this matter in front of the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling.

"Remember, what?"

"Father, if you reveal something in private, just say that this matter was raised by San Lang, and it is best for San Lang to carry it out, you don't want to implement it, do you think they will support San Lang to take the throne?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Shimin paused, and then his eyes lit up: "Indeed, there are some things, of course they don't support it if they can't see enough benefits." If there are enough interests, let alone support San Lang, they dare to replace our Li family. ”

"Are you sure you've got it in mind, though?" Li Shimin asked.

"Erchen has already thought about it, otherwise Erchen will definitely not tell Aya that in fact, Erchen thinks it's okay to read books and live in a place like Qinwangzhuang to rest and rest." Li Chengqian nodded very dryly.

"If you really think about it, then we can discuss this matter, this matter is not in a hurry, the most important thing is that the third child can't know."

……

At the bow of the boat, Li Ke stood there with a serious face, he kept waving his hand to the people on both sides of the strait, and he didn't expect so many people to see him off.

Hey, I'm too tired, but fortunately, after a while, the boat should be about to leave the vicinity of Chang'an, and after it joins the Yellow River, there will definitely be no people, and the people on both sides of the river will be visible to the naked eye at this time.

"Third brother, why don't you come in the cabin to rest and rest, the number of people here is also small, and they probably won't be able to see you." Changle in the back walked out of the cabin and asked.

"No, the third brother will stay for a while, they just want to see the third brother when they come over, and the third brother can still be satisfied with this matter." Changle, if you want to comfort those soldiers for your father, that's what you actually have to do, their requirements are not high, they just want to see you, want to see what the royal princess is like. ”

"If they can look at you, they will be content, because in their opinion, it means that the royal family of Datang has not forgotten them. They didn't really want to ask for more. Li Ke said softly.
