The secret letter written by Dang Renhong was burned little by little by candlelight until the ashes disappeared. The stones in Wang Huai and others' hearts slowly fell. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Li Kuan, he got up and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Wang Huai and the three of them. Li Kuan Looking at the three people with solemn expressions strangely, they said, "What's wrong?"
"My son, if we ask you next, you have to answer us seriously, don't make any jokes!" Wang Huai's serious words made Li Kuan a little bit confused by the second monk. He wanted to answer at will, but the three of them are not like them. With a joking appearance, Li Kuan had to answer seriously: "Knowing is nothing but words are endless, but what are you asking?"
"If we let the son become the prince of the dynasty, will you do your best for the court and the people, and become a great emperor?" Wang Huai said astonishingly, Li Kuan was completely dumbfounded, and he was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. Shockedly said: "Wang, don't joke with me, this joke is not funny at all!"
"Do you think we are joking?" Wang Huai asked back. Li Kuan was taken aback again, glanced with wide-open eyes, and answered silently: "No!"
Zhao Qian said solemnly: "Answer us quickly, don't play routines with us, you must really think!"
"Don't you know my heart?" Li Kuan shook his head helplessly, and said: "To be loyal to the court and work for the welfare of the people, is it necessary to become the prince of the dynasty and inherit the position of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Isn’t I also loyal to the imperial court now that I am in the branch of the household department?"
"Power is not my goal in life. I don't want to be an official, and I don't want to get involved in the royal prince dispute. Even though the prince is a bit absurd, he is still the first heir of the Tang Dynasty and the eldest son of the emperor and the queen. , Even if it's abandoned one day, it still won't be my turn."
"I am a concubine, and the crown prince has no relationship with me. Even if the crown prince is replaced, I will look for it among the concubine. Therefore, I don't want to be the crown prince, and I don't want to fight for the crown and get involved in right and wrong, right. As far as I am concerned, the days of being at ease are living in the present."
Wang Huai said: "If we have a way to let you sit in that position, would you like it?"
"No! I definitely don't want to!" Li Kuan answered without hesitation, "When I was in Jingzhou, I said that I was not going to be an official. Today I still have the same answer. Is it true that being an emperor is really free? Become a supreme emperor, with supreme power, but what is lost is freedom? This runs counter to my ideals. Naturally, I don’t want to lose freedom and pursue illusory and unrealistic power. If you are blessed, you must win the title. Breaking blood, why bother?"
Zhao Qian answered, "I'm afraid you think so now, and you won't think so in the future!"
"I'm really not interested in being an emperor!" Li Kuan smiled, "I think it will change. As long as my original intention doesn't change, I will still be the me no matter how I change, I will only be myself!
"The world is unpredictable!" Wang Huai sighed, "Dang Renhong and the emperor recommend you to be the most suitable candidate for the throne. Another meaning is that you are most like the emperor, and you are even more decisive than the emperor. When you are forced to follow the trend, you will be more ruthless than the emperor did. Do you understand the meaning of this?"
"Of course I understand!" Li Kuan couldn't comment with a smile. "Although I met with Dang Renhong once and it was unpleasant, he still understands me! Dang Renhong is right. I only ask for my heart. No need to be ashamed. If you are ashamed of your heart, you won’t even be ashamed."
All three of Wang Huai were shocked. They did not expect Li Kuan to agree with Dang Renhong’s statement. From the perspective of Li Kuan’s character, it would indeed be the case. The premise is not to touch the bottom line, just like when Li Kuan wanted to fight with Wu. Li Shimin refused, and Li Kuan recklessly quarreled directly with Li Shimin without saying anything, and even almost did it. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
Another example is the private placement of prisoners on death row. They also thought that when Emperor Gaozu died, Emperor Taizong wanted to carry the body of Emperor Gaozu on his back, but Li Kuan directly stopped him with a loud voice, and no one could touch a single bit. Although Li Kuan and Li Yuan have a deep love between grandparents and grandchildren, it indirectly proves that Li Kuan was radical and even stubborn at that time.
Along the way, Li Kuan continued to grow and he no longer acted radically, but the stubbornness in his bones, except Wu Jue could persuade him, even the three of them were not helpful, and sometimes they couldn’t figure it out. Li Kuan's thoughts did not understand Li Kuan's strange statement.
"What if we told you that this is what the Emperor Gaozu meant?" Wang Huai said astonishing again. Li Kuan's face changed suddenly and his eyes were puzzled. Wang Huai continued: "The reason why the Emperor Gaozu adopted you back then, He also ordered me to wait for the intent to teach you to inherit the throne and become the prince of the dynasty."
Li Kuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Why?"
"What is the way the current emperor wins the throne? I believe you have personally experienced it!" Wang Huai sighed. "Due to the situation, I had to abdicate and live a leisurely life of retreat. In order not to make the current emperor suspicious, even No longer intervene in the political affairs, and no longer intervene, the old ministers of the court and the central government have kept their doors behind closed doors, just to better protect you."
"Because you are the most effective weapon used by the emperor to deal with the emperor today, so that the emperor can feel the pain in his heart. Because of this, when the old money taught you martial arts, he did not intend to give it to you. Later, because of you It is indeed a good material, and is diligent and educated, and is willing to accept you as a disciple."
After Li Yuan's death, Li Kuan went to Jingzhou alone and took back Wang Huai and the other three. Li Kuan faintly guessed that he might be the last move of his grandfather, and it was also the pawn that caused severe damage to the current emperor. He has received all kinds of education since he was a child, even the emperor Li Yuan personally taught by example, plus why he had to take off the mask during the coming-of-age ceremony, all signs indicate that Li Yuan was to give Li Shimin this son a big surprise.
Li Kuan still remembers that when Li Shimin saw him for the first time, he had mistakes, regrets, and surprises in his eyes. Even though Li Kuan was faintly guessing in his heart, he was still cold when he heard the result as he thought.
Qian Wu asked again: "Now you are willing to inherit the first emperor's will to become the crown prince?"
"I don't want to!" Li Kuan replied bitterly, "I just be myself, I don't want to be a tool of others' revenge, nor a victim of power. Even if that person is a relative, I still can't change my original intention, so I said I don't want to. I just don't want to."
Wang Huai and the three were shocked. Although Li Kuan was angry, they still did not change their original intentions. After a moment of silence, the three finally showed smiles. Li Kuan was still angry. They concealed how hard he was, which made him unable to let go. New Bayi Chinese website first launches www.(x81zw).comm./x81zw/.com
Zhao Qian went on to say: "In that case, I can rest assured!"
Li Kuan was surprised: "Don't you force me to fight for the crown prince?"
"Of course not!" The three laughed.
Then, Wang Huai explained the remark just now. Li Yuan had this idea at first, but later he changed, because he really felt the long-lost family affection with Li Kuan, so he naturally cancelled the original plan, but learned it. It is impossible for Li Kuan to just let it go, so Li Yuan decided to expect him to be an official and serve the court, and he would choose what path he would take for the rest. (End of this chapter)
