Don't be a prince

After Li Gang left, Yang Du became the sacrificial wine of the college.The two old gentlemen have the same temperament. They don't care how much they gain. They just want to fulfill their long-cherished wish and let everyone in the world have the opportunity to learn to read and write.

"Mr. Yang, I really don't know when this big exam will start. Now that the emperor is not in Chang'an, I don't dare to take care of it. But let these students out and treat them like laborers. It is beneficial to run around in the Tang Dynasty. If you get in touch with the government affairs of the imperial court, you will find that many officials in Tongzhou Dayi gained power through meritorious service or the protection of their families.

In some remote areas, the imperial court more often chooses virtuous people in the local area and appoints officials.In this way, the gap comes out.For the same decree, officials in remote areas know how to adapt it, or even refute it, while officials from wealthy families will only implement it, even if it will cause public dissatisfaction.

When the same thing happened, the officials in the remote areas knew how to deal with it, and they had already organized staff to deal with it before the papers were published.And those wealthy officials will only wait for the court's approval before acting like wooden people.If everything has to be decided by the court, what do you want them to do! "

Yang Du took a sip of tea, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It seems that you are not satisfied with the supervision of the country these days, but boy, your way of looking at problems is still a bit one-sided. Who told you that the officials in Dayi, Tongzhou are wooden people Does he dare to make up his own mind? The most important thing for officials in the Tang Dynasty is to make up their own minds. It’s easy to talk about small things. I don't need the old man to tell you about the crimes, right?

Besides, whoever told you that the place selected the appointed virtuous person must be a suitable official?Ignorance is their common problem. Don't look at the small things they can handle properly. In fact, it's just because they are locals.If you don't believe me, look at the evaluation of the Ministry of Officials. Such officials are at most mediocre. They will not make big mistakes when they are in office, but at the same time, they will not make too obvious achievements.

Speaking of it, this is also a helpless move. The fear of aristocratic and wealthy families is the same no matter which dynasty.But apart from wealthy families, the imperial court has no place to choose talents.The emergence of the Zhenguan Academy is a miracle that breaks this deadlock.Boy, if you want to get a good official, you have to train the disciples of the academy well. This is the best solution to the problem. "

He took another sip of tea and signaled the stunned Li Chengqian to continue eating. Yang Du continued: "Yu Yuelai from Sinong Temple talked to me. He said that he wanted to establish a branch of agriculture in the college. Those who work on farming are as provincial as Sinong Temple. There are not many people who actually manage things, and most of them are empty jobs. The old man agreed, and the establishment of an agricultural college is very good. Cultivating better seeds and improving farming methods are also a good thing with immeasurable merit .”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian put down his chopsticks and said, "You are right about this matter. I also think Sinong Temple is very evil. You don't know that there are officials in it who even have a crooked mind about the sale of planting trucks, so they have the cheek to prepare for it." I really don't know what it means to steal by chance. It doesn't matter if you set up an agricultural college. Some time ago, Lingnan sent a reply, saying that Feng An had brought a team of elite soldiers to the south to search for good seeds in Linyi and other countries. It’s not a worry, but it’s okay to reduce the number of hungry people by half.”

Hearing this, Yang Du's hand holding the cup trembled slightly and almost dropped the cup.

After calming down, he said: "This is a good thing. When the seeds come back, they can be cultivated by the Agricultural College. In addition, after the construction of the college is completed this time, you don't need to send money to the college. It is up to you to build the college. There is no way to do it, but now that the scale is already very large, and you have the means to make a living, you should stop."

Li Chengqian nodded, and didn't feel like "crossing the river and tearing down the bridge".In fact, this matter was also the result of a serious discussion between him and Li Gang.

If the academy wants to maintain its original aspirations, it has to stay close to the royal family. It can accept royal sponsorship and orders from the royal family. It is not a problem to hand over the position of dean and deputy dean to the royal family all the time.However, the real power must be held in the hands of the academy itself.Otherwise, who will know whether the future emperor is qualified?Will it change the academy beyond recognition?

"Since you think it's almost enough, then I'll stop completely, but if the academy is really short of money, don't be polite to me. The prosperity of the academy is your wish, Master Li's wish, and it is also my own wish. "

Yang Du nodded with a smile, then took out a stack of papers from his hand and said: "The old man asked the students of the first period. Except for the noble children, almost all the poor children are willing to open a branch of the college, or stay in the college. Be a gentleman. When the branch schools for these students are successfully opened, our college will be able to take care of teaching literacy and focus on cultivating elites."

Hearing this news, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most afraid of was that all the students would stare at the imperial examination. If this happened, many students would fail the election and would not be able to bear the blow.Strictly speaking, this batch of students is not what he is most satisfied with. The study in the academy is more about teaching them literacy and classics, as well as adding arithmetic afterward, which is actually of little use to help them become officials.However, the continuous extracurricular activities during the period, as well as this trip of thousands of miles, are still helpful for broadening our horizons.At least get them qualified.

In order for the officials you really want to appear, you have to get rid of the literacy courses in the academy and specialize in teaching elites.

After eating, Li Chengqian stretched his waist and said depressedly: "Mr. Yang, I have to go back to the palace to deal with government affairs, and now I know how difficult the life of my father is, thinking that I will be like this in the future, I am depressed. "

Yang Du smiled and said: "Why are you depressed? In such a position, don't you have to work hard for the country, or do you think that the natural imperial power is for nothing? Well, since you have something to do, I won't bother you .”

Putting away his questionnaire, Yang Du strolled away with his hands behind his back.

Taking a look at the students reading while eating in the cafeteria, Li Chengqian's heart was burning.Most of these are the best help for the expansion of the academy!

After the schools around Chang'an are completed, they will be opened in Luoyang, Xiangyang, and throughout the Tang Dynasty, and then the policy of compulsory education can be implemented.Although it is very likely that this matter will be difficult to achieve in my own lifetime, but the past has followed the same pattern, and future generations can always walk on the right path and reach the right end.

Like the ambitious Li Chengqian, the emperor who is now in Qizhou is also thinking about the future of the Tang Dynasty.Maybe not as long-term as Li Chengqian thought, but it also has a positive effect.

Although it was only a short distance from Chang'an to Qizhou, it was enough for him to see through many things.

In order to achieve no tax on agriculture, business must be developed.If it is only internal business development, then it is no different from seeking fish from a tree, and developing transactions with foreign countries is the top priority.

Since the affairs of the sea were handed over to the prince, he was unwilling to intervene.But he had to take care of matters on land.

"The Silk Road has been the golden road for our Central Plains to do business with foreign countries since ancient times. But since the end of the Han Dynasty, we have been obsessed with internal strife, and this golden road has withered for a long time. There are many brave and decisive merchants, but The existence of Gaochang is like a huge gluttonous mouth, which has affected the Silk Road. Therefore, Gaochang must be conquered in order to make the Silk Road prosperous again."

In the Qizhou palace, although there were only a few officials such as Du Ruhui, Qizhou Inspector, Changsun Wuji, etc., the atmosphere was still very serious, like a court meeting.

Du Ruhui stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Gaochang is really hateful, but he is in the gap between the Western Turks, Tuyuhun and our Tang Dynasty. If any one party acts recklessly, the other two parties will not sit idly by. Gaochang is indeed not enough for any of the three parties. It’s a spoonful of stew, but it’s the same, and our Tang Dynasty can’t resist the combination of Tuyuhun and Western Turks at the same time.”

Chapter 266 Li Yuan's Visit

Changsun Wuji also nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be a mouse! Although Gaochang deserves to be destroyed, if we can't solve the threat of Western Turks and Tuyuhun, we can't do it. Si Yehu is really hateful, and he even gave Gaochang a platform. Gaochang Wang Quwentai, for no apparent reason, dared to humiliate me, Datang, in exchange for the favor of the Western Turks!"

Speaking of this incident, Li Shimin also had a headache.Goryeo and Gaochang dared to face the threat of Datang directly because of their own special circumstances.Just like Gaochang was in the gap between the Three Kingdoms, Goryeo, to some extent, can be regarded as the pioneer of various countries in Northeast China.As long as Datang sends troops to Korea, there will be more than just one or two responding.Fighting against so many enemies, even the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Sui Dynasty were helpless.

That's right, the Sui Dynasty claimed to have an army of one million, but in fact, only 30 to [-] troops attacked Goryeo.The bitter cold in Liaodong, the long supply line, and various factors combined made Koryo as hard as steel and difficult to conquer.

This was the case for hundreds of thousands of troops in the Sui Dynasty, not to mention the Tang Dynasty.After all, what's next for Datang is a mess.

"Gaochang must be captured. If you want to open the door to do business in the Western Regions, you must capture Gaochang. Besides, if Gaochang dares to insult Datang, you must suffer the consequences! Attack next year, next year!"

As soon as Li Shimin said this, not only Du Ruhui, but also Changsun Wuji exclaimed: "Your Majesty, you can't do it! If you attack Gaochang, it will definitely attract a counterattack from Tuyuhun and Western Turks. Once the Northwest War is defeated, it will be a blow to our Tang prestige." It is incomparably huge. By then, I am afraid that the prestige gained from the Eastern Turkic War will be exhausted!"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "No, Tuyuhun and Xiturjue will only watch from the sidelines, and dare not do anything. Because they dare not! Maybe you don't know, at this moment, the prince's relatives have already set off to the border of Korea Demonstration."

Du Ruhui, who didn't know gunpowder and weapons, said anxiously: "Isn't this just nonsense? Zhang Jian has been in Liaodong for many years, and he only just consolidated the front line. It is difficult to advance an inch. What can 2000 people do? What can [-] people do? Your Majesty, Wei If the minister is not here, the Ministry of War has no right to allow the dispatch in person!"

When it comes to his own scope of authority, Du Ruhui can not give an inch, and this will not change because of who he is facing.

Li Shimin smiled slightly: "The one who signed the transit document is Zhao Zian. As the left servant of the Ministry of War, he has this function, and Keming, you have to be clear that the personal command is not under the control of the Ministry of War. The prince can decide their dispatch alone. The Ministry of War, but It's just a paperwork for permission to pass through the state capital."

"But this is still not enough! Didn't you lead this trip to die? Fang Xuanling is in Chang'an, why would he allow the prince to do such nonsense? No, Your Majesty, you have to issue an order to stop it!"

Seeing that Du Ruhui stood up anxiously, Li Shimin hurriedly said: "Okay, why are you in such a hurry? If the pro-leader is going to die, I will stop it, but the fact is that the pro-leader's trip is just to declare his own will." Martial power. You don’t know that Taoists can only make alchemy with various things, but the prince discovered a new weapon in the process. Well, it’s called gunpowder, but what exactly is this thing, Baiqisi controls it Very strict, not even written in the secret memorial to me.

However, judging from the experimental results, this thing is even more terrifying than the Eight Bull Crossbow.This time I went out personally, I took this weapon with me, and I was going to torture the border towns of Koryo, forcing them to honestly hand over the remains of the former soldiers.At the same time, this trip is also a deterrent to the surrounding countries.With such a deterrent, the West Turks and Tuyuhun would not dare to act rashly! "

After hearing the emperor's words, Du Ruhui breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.

Zhou Yuanshan, governor of Qizhou, has always been a wooden man, but when he heard this, he still couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, I have something outrageous to say, and I have to say it!"

Outrageous words?

Li Shimin put away his frivolous attitude, and said seriously: "If you have anything to say, Zhou Aiqing might as well just say it, I can listen to it."

The emperor made a promise, and Zhou Yuanshan straightened up and said, "Your Majesty, too much power can easily bring disasters. It was like this in the Warring States period. When one country is strong, many countries will unite to fight. And a country that attracts many enemies will gradually weaken. It is also reasonable to apply this principle to my Tang Dynasty and neighboring countries. One step ahead is for deterrence. If you lead too much, it will easily lead to joint confrontation. Even my Tang Dynasty may not be able to withstand the multinational alliance. Bar!

Although the lower officials don't know what kind of weapon His Highness the Crown Prince made, judging by surpassing the Ba Niu Crossbow, it is likely to be two or even three steps ahead of the people around him, and the situation that Wei Chen said is likely to happen.Your Majesty, I have finished my words, please punish me! "

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yuanshan bowed to the ground.

"Aiqing is not at fault, and loyal words are harsh. I will never punish a loyal minister who speaks out. Wuji, help him up." Li Shimin sighed, and ordered his eldest grandson Wuji to help Zhou Yuanshan up.

There is nothing wrong with what Zhou Yuanshan said. The reason why Datang was able to stand strong in this land despite being surrounded by crowds of robbers is because everyone knows that no matter how powerful Datang is, it is not strong enough to fight against everyone. Degree.When the ability of the individual exceeds the sum of the whole, domination and domination are inevitable.Although the current Tang Dynasty is a monarchy, and the emperor has also won the title of "Tian Khan", this is just flashy.

Tian Khan is nothing more than a false name. Li Shimin knows this well. Tuyuhun, Xueyantuo, Turkic, Goryeo, Gaochang, Waguo, Silla, Baekje, Kumoxi, Shiwei, Mohe...

all clear.

After Zhou Yuanshan sat up, Li Shimin said: "What Zhou Aiqing said is very reasonable, but ah, I still think that power must be possessed. The Tang Dynasty has established a country through hundreds of battles, and naturally knows how important force is. Wuji , Tell me, in the face of such power, should we choose to accept or give up?"

Changsun Wuji cupped his hands and said, "Naturally, I accept it. Your Majesty, what Governor Zhou said is only a step or two ahead of others. When this lead is enough to make them despair, it will be another scene."

Du Ruhui also said: "The auxiliary machine is right, and I think so too. Since this is the case, the things that the prince tinkered with unintentionally should be carried forward!"

Seeing that Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui both said that, Li Shimin laughed: "In that case, after three days of rest, let's go back to Chang'an! I also want to see how such a weapon can bear the description of 'opening mountains and cracking rocks'! "

Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, Zhou Yuanshan immediately put away his resolute expression, and said with a smile: "Since your majesty doesn't want to stay any longer, I can't stop you, but in two days it will be a regular temple fair for the people of Qizhou, because your majesty is here, this time The temple fair will be extremely lively, why not leave after the temple fair is over, Your Majesty?"

Li Shimin naturally smiled and agreed, and returning in a hurry was indeed not his intention.Before returning to the cage of the palace, it is better to relax your body and mind!

After the conversation was over, Changsun Wuji and others got up and returned to their residences, while the emperor came to the back hall of the palace.

Here, the eldest grandson is teasing Li Zhi and Cheng Yang with a sugar figurine. Seeing the emperor coming, he gives the sugar figurine to Li Zhi and gets up to help the emperor change his clothes.

Taking off his coat, Li Shimin sat on the chair, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to his eldest grandson, "I wanted to stay in Qizhou for a month before going back, but now I have to go back. I have only left Chang'an for only a month. Take a look at how many things Chengqian has done to me. Tang Jian sent a letter saying that Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan was about to annex the country and waited for me to go back to discuss it. Zhao Zian wrote a letter saying that the relatives had already set off and received military weapons Entrusted by the prison, please appoint a new young prison as soon as possible.

Baiqisi also sent a letter, asking me to make good arrangements for the gunpowder. Even the commander of Baiqisi did not dare to specialize in such an important matter.Also, because of the gunpowder weapon workshop, he arrested a group of people under Qingque, even Zhang Xiao, who was also arrested. He was speechless to Chengqian's questioning and waited for me to go back. .There are many other things besides this. To be honest, I never expected Cheng Qian to be so capable. "

Even so, Li Shimin still smiled happily.Although the test of the prince's ability this time was only incidental, and he was even ready to wipe his son's ass, but who would have thought that the prince not only did a good job, but was too good.The logging ban and grazing ban alone convinced all the courtiers.Although many times he was still very childish in doing things, but everything showed that he was ready to inherit the empire.

Regarding the government, the eldest grandson usually doesn't ask questions, but when it comes to Li Tai, she still anxiously said: "Chengqian arrested Qingque's people? Why are you arresting people? The two brothers have not been very good all the time." Is it?"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin felt a little embarrassed: "Actually, I deliberately arranged Zhang Xiao to be next to Qing Que. Zhang Xiao has a strong sense of utilitarianism, and with him around, he will always coerce Qing Que to do things. What. The matter of Furong Garden is one of them. I really want to see if Qing Que has the idea of ​​replacing it, and I also want to see if Cheng Qian is really willing to get along with Qing Que. As a result, this time, Cheng Qian After taking down Zhang Xiao and others without hesitation, Qing Que was not only not angry, but instead sent me a letter asking me to send him a new long-historical officer, and he did not resist what Cheng Qian did."

The eldest grandson sighed, and couldn't help but patted the emperor: "You, I just feel uneasy. Originally, the two of you were safe and sound, but you insisted on causing some trouble. Fortunately, neither Chengqian nor Qingque had any bad thoughts. Otherwise, let's see how you end up!"

After finishing speaking, the eldest grandson seemed to have remembered something, got up and took out a letter from the cabinet and said, "Your Majesty, this is a letter from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In the end, I was afraid that Chengqian would not be able to bear it, so I didn't do it. However, not long after we left, the Ministry of Internal Affairs received an order from Chengqian, saying that he wanted the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare enough money, and he was going to open a bank. .”

After receiving the letter from the queen, Li Shimin read it again, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Give the Ministry of Internal Affairs an order to let them follow Chengqian's command. The money and goods are on the way, and it is right to listen to Chengqian. It's just him Proposed to lift the prohibition of nobles from doing business, and now we have seen the results. We came from Chang'an, and we always met caravans along the way. In the past, there were not so many caravans going to the Western Regions. This year's business tax revenue is not used. Look, I also know that there will be no less. As long as the plan is really smooth, I am afraid that taxation in various places will disappear completely within a few years after restarting. We still underestimated Cheng Qian. He is just like me. To develop the temperament."

Speaking of this, the eldest grandson smiled: "Chengqian is your son, isn't it normal to look like you?"

Li Shimin smiled and returned to the bed. After getting into bed, he blinked at his eldest grandson.

The eldest grandson smiled secretly, and ordered Ziyan to take both Cheng Yang and Li Zhi out.

Li Zhi, who was eating sugar man, was very confused. Before arriving in Qizhou, although he was in the carriage, he still slept with his father, queen and queen. Why did he always sleep by himself after arriving here?

...

It was absurd that in the middle of the night, Li Shimin was still too excited to fall asleep, leaning against the bedside to read a book.This was unimaginable in the past, no matter how excited he was, he would force himself to fall asleep, because the next day, whether he wanted to or not, he had to go to court.But in Qizhou, there is no such worry, because even if he is bedridden all day, there will not be a surname Wei who will directly drive to the harem to ask for advice.

Feeling the queen's even breathing, Li Shimin put away the book and ordered the maid to turn off the lights.

I don't know what Chengqian is doing now...

"Ah!"

Li Chengqian at the desk sneezed loudly, and the candle in front of him almost went out.

Glancing at someone in the corner who was drinking and enjoying himself, he said helplessly, "Grandfather, it's nothing for you to come to the East Palace, but it's a problem for you to stay here. At the beginning, you were trapped by nightmares, and you had to stay in the East Palace. Now You don't have nightmares, why don't you stay here?"

That's right, the one sitting in his study drinking now is the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.

In just a few years, Li Yuan collapsed, and his energy and vigor could not be compared with when he was leading him to find leeks.Even the dragon robe couldn't cover his big belly, and his hair was all gray.

After taking a sip of wine, Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Look, you are rushing to drive me away, just like your father. You are not married, what's wrong with me staying in the East Palace? Or, although you are not married, but Already have a warm quilt? If that’s the case, then I’ll leave immediately.”

Li Chengqian covered his head in pain, he really couldn't fight in front of this old and disrespectful guy.

Since he abdicated, Li Yuan has completely let go of his sexuality. In just a few years, he has added more than [-] aunts and uncles to himself, and it is estimated that he can add more than a dozen in a few years.

If you can't drive him away, you can't drive him away. Anyway, on the surface, as a grandson, he still can't beat his grandfather.The Supreme Emperor is two levels higher than the Crown Prince. The Emperor is not in the capital, so basically no one can restrain him.Ever since Li Yuan appeared at the banquet after the fall of the Eastern Turks, and sang and danced with his son, the relationship between the two has eased a lot. Now, even if Li Yuan left Da'an Palace and came to the Eastern Palace, he was only accompanied by guards, but no one reject.

After biting the bullet and finishing the last few memorials, Li Chengqian walked up to Li Yuan and said, "Grandfather, if you only drink like this, it will cause great damage to your body. Why don't you let your grandson ask the kitchen to cook something for you?" Food and wine, how about we, grandpa and grandson, have a drink together?"

Seeing that Li Chengqian offered to drink together, Li Yuan laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, you are a bit filial. You are young, so I won't force you to drink this strong wine. Just drink wine."

Following Li Chengqian's order, it didn't take long for Zhang Yun to bring over a table of appetizers, many of which were cold dishes, but there were also a few hard dishes.

After having a few drinks with each other and being tired, Li Chengqian became a little overwhelmed and fainted.

Li Yuan ate a meatball and said with a smile: "Why, can't you take it anymore? But yes, it's hard for you to deal with the important affairs of the court. You are only 13 years old now, and it is still a bit difficult to deal with it. .”

Li Chengqian waved his hand, and said vaguely: "How about you, if you feel sorry for your grandson, you might as well come to the East Palace more and help your grandson with some memorials. As long as no one tells it, who would know that it was written by the Supreme Emperor? "

Li Yuan laughed and said: "Don't do it, I have finally withdrawn, and you still want to get me in? But the world's major events, there are only a few, and they are always the same. After a long time, you can always find something. method. Once you get used to handling it, it won’t be that strenuous.”

Li Chengqian nodded, but disagreed with Li Yuan's statement.Not to mention the affairs of a country or a family, it is difficult to find the law. Maybe for a period of time, the affairs of the state will remain the same, but as time goes by, how can they remain the same.

Just like the current memorials, many of them are reported to the imperial court, saying that the local government is planning to open mines, build roads and maintain commercial roads, and even report local business conditions.Such a memorial, in the reign of Wude, would not have received it!

Besides...

Looking at Li Yuan vigilantly, he always felt that the old bastard came for another purpose this time, but he kept silent.

From the looks of it, he needs to be given some assists.

After toasting cup after cup, after a while, Li Chengqian took the initiative to lie on the table and said vaguely: "Grandpa, I can't do it anymore. If you want to drink, continue drinking. Hiccup, if grandson drinks again, it will delay tomorrow's morning court." gone."

Seeing that Li Chengqian's speech had become ambiguous, Li Yuan let out a long sigh and said, "Chengqian, I ask you, do you think my children should be named kings or princesses?"

Hearing this sentence, Li Chengqian, who was pretending to be drunk, almost jumped up.

Such a question, why do you ask me?I am the prince, not the emperor, it is the emperor's business to confer the title of king and concubine!

But after thinking about it, I understand why.

It turned out that he didn't really care about his children until now!

Chapter 267 I'm finally coming back

When the emperor launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he vomited blood from Li Yuan and cursed him: "My children will kill each other, and your children will also bleed like rivers in the future."

This is no longer something that can be described by angry words. Such a vicious curse is applied to one's own family, which is an expression of extreme disappointment.

After appointing Li Shimin as the prince, although he was still the emperor, except for the maids and eunuchs around him, even the guards outside the gate could not command.Under such circumstances, the emperor is boring to do.

Later, for the sake of justice, Li Shimin forced him to take the Zen throne. Li Yuan, who lost his throne, could only occupy the Tai Chi Hall to express his dissatisfaction.Perhaps Li Shimin also felt that he had gone too far, drinking, sexing and making money, and satisfying his father in everything, but in Li Yuan's view, these were manifestations of hating himself for not dying.

Maybe it was self-defeating, maybe it was revenge, in the matter of having a child, Li Yuan was risking his life, and in just a few years, he made countless cheap siblings for the emperor.

In the past, it was just anger, but after the collapse of the Eastern Turks, Li Yuan realized that it was really unreasonable to vent his grievances.The most direct reason is the collapse of the Eastern Turks.During the reign of Wude, the East Turkic Jieli, who was still able to dictate to the Central Plains Dynasty, can only spend the rest of his life in the pigsty named Anlewo built by the Tang Dynasty.

An emperor who has surpassed him in martial arts and martial arts can only prove more and more how stupid he was at the beginning, and how stupid he was when choosing an heir.As a last resort, he could only accept the emperor's invitation to sing and dance at the celebration banquet, completely reduced to his son's tool man, and performed a grand drama of royal harmony to the world.

After that, he no longer held any resentment. When he let go of the demons in his heart and cared about the reality, he realized what he had done.

There are more than 20 princes and princesses who will be awarded the title of Wangfeng Princess!How many princes and princesses do all the clan members of the royal family add up to?With so many princes and princesses parasitic on the land of Datang, it would only be a waste of national power.

As for his son? Li Yuan thinks he knows a little bit.Because of the matter of Xiwang Qiwang? It may be difficult for him to use the butcher's knife again in his lifetime.But what about after you die?Even if the emperor can't hold back the killer, what about the next emperor?As long as he is the emperor? Can't tolerate someone who has a bad blood relationship with him occupying the position of king? Even if this person is his uncle or aunt.After substituting his own thoughts, Li Yuan felt this even more.
