As a father, Li Shimin does not want his children to repeat the same mistakes. Even though he killed his brothers for the throne, forcing his father to give up the throne. The Xuanwu Gate matter is the key to Li Shimin's success, and it is also the cornerstone of changing his entire life.
At the same time, the events of the past are the scars he least want to mention in his heart, and it is also the regret for the events of the past. Because of this, Li Shimin tried his best to maintain the balance between his children. However, he couldn't make a bowl of peace. He could only do his best to maintain the status quo, so as not to let the tragedy of the year happen to him.
Faced with the participation of her son, the eldest-grandson empress was unexpectedly at a loss, with a sad face and tears in her eyes. Her heart was struggling, and it was more painful and difficult to choose. On the one hand, Li Kuan was kind to the eldest son and other matters, and saved her life; on the other hand, Li Tai is her own flesh and blood, which is by no means comparable to ordinary concubines.
For a while, the grandson queen couldn't make a choice, and she and Li Shimin smiled bitterly at each other. It was not until this time that Empress Changsun understood the pain in Li Shimin's heart, which was even more painful than her mother, but she really couldn't watch her son be sentenced to death.
"In recent days, there have been successive transfers or demotions of ministers in the DPRK and China. Is this also related to this matter?"
The eldest queen of Hui Zhilanxin immediately realized that the six Shangshu had been replaced one after another during this period, and even the general of the Suwei Imperial Army had also been replaced, and suddenly thought that the ministers who supported the Jin King were promoted successively, and the ministers who supported the Chu King were successively promoted. When I was transferred, I suddenly thought of a possibility, and my heart trembled. He looked at Li Shimin with a complicated expression and said, "This matter has something to do with pheasant slaves?"
Li Shimin denied it and shook his head and said: "This has nothing to do with the pheasant slave, but I have asked him about his views on the position of the prince? The pheasant slave said to me that he didn't care about it, and he consciously lacked knowledge and had no achievements. It's hard to convince the public to be crowned prince, so I refuse to refuse and recommend Li Yun."
"Under the guidance of the auxiliary machine, the benevolence, filial piety, etiquette, etc. are all the top choices, so I am very happy, and it is much better than Cheng Qian. As for Sizitai's remarks about killing his son, it is very sad. , It can be seen that he is obsessed with the throne in his heart. If he really takes the throne and proclaims the emperor, then my other sons will definitely not end well."
Empress Changsun was shocked when she heard the words. She didn't expect Li Tai to say such a bastard. She was even more pleased that Li Zhi's unintentional fight for power, benevolence and righteousness to her brothers, and very filial filial piety, only slightly comforted her, saying: "When did your majesty ask?"
"After the third son Ke'er left Beijing, I asked them privately." Li Shimin told the truth, thinking of Li Kuanlai again, and said in a low mood: "Er Zikuan is indeed the most similar to me, or even more so than I was back then. Winner, he is all blue for martial arts, but his temper is too strong, jealous like hatred, and invisibly offended many ministers in the DPRK, especially in the past years, the development has been smooth sailing, and the official position has gone smoothly, and it has provoke other people. I don’t know the jealousy."
"It is necessary to know that if it is easy to break, Mu Xiu Yu Lin Feng will destroy it. In addition, he grew up next to the emperor Gao Zu, his temperament has been fixed, even I don't know what he thinks. From the things of the third son, fourth son, etc. From a point of view, the throne is not suitable for inheritance by Kuan. He can create greater glory for the Tang Dynasty and bring disasters to the Tang Dynasty. He is decisive and arbitrary. If the Tang Dynasty is in his hands, it will be a blessing or a curse. It is particularly unpredictable; no one of the ministers of the court can overpower him, even my father is hard to be sure, his wings are already abundant, if I don’t do anything again, I’m afraid I will regret it, so I have to rectify the dynasty as a pheasant slave. Clear obstacles."
Empress Changsun was shocked. She was not very clear about Li Kuan’s character. Just as Li Shimin said, Li Kuan’s temperament was too strong, like a wild and untamable horse, no one can tame it. The situation after the runaway.
If you go for a long time, you will surely cause trouble for yourself. Nowadays, most of the ministers of the imperial court are old officials who followed Li Shimin to fight the world. There are also some old officials of the Gaozu emperor, who basically have false names. They have no power at all.
Since ancient times, there is a difference between the concubine and the concubine, no matter when and where the throne inheritance will not fall on the concubine, this is a cultural tradition since ancient times. As for whether this method of inheritance is good or not, no one can judge, but Empress Changsun believes in Li Shimin's judgment.
"Are you sure that Li's pheasant slave is the prince?" After a moment of silence, Empress Changsun stared at Li Shimin intently.
Li Shimin nodded and said yes, and sighed: "Perhaps this is the best way of both worlds. It doesn't matter if he breaks his path and leaves him at home, or leaves Beijing, at least a few of them won't fight each other. Besides, Pheasant slaves are extremely filial and filial to be a good prince. Today's Datang needs a monarch who defends the city more than an overlord who continues to expand its territory."
Empress Changsun lowered her head again in contemplation, and suddenly raised her head and lowered her voice to remind: "Since your majesty is determined, the concubine will not say much. However, please remember not to hurt his heart at any time, otherwise it will be hard to calm down. His family affection will disappear again, and I have a feeling that he is anything but ordinary, and he may be forced to embark on a path of no return when he is really out of control!"
"It is precisely because of this worry that I have to do this!" Li Shimin shook his head with a wry smile, "His mind is elusive, and his temperament is uncertain. Even facing my father, he is fearless. Or maybe it’s never been taken to heart!"
"What should you do with the blue bird?" Empress Changsun nodded silently, gritted her teeth and said with difficulty.
"Demotion and leave Beijing!"
The concise and concise six words came out of Li Shimin's mouth, and the complex emotions such as helplessness and heartache made him feel uncomfortable. In any case, Li Tai was always his favorite son. He had to gritted his teeth for the peace of the Tang royal family and was able to save Li Tai's life. Li Shimin really worked hard, so he had to do this cruelly. decision.
"The concubine thanked the emperor for the green bird!"
Empress Changsun's hanging heart fell, tears streaming down and bowing to thank the emperor. She thanked the emperor for not killing her son. Li Tai was sentenced to death in accordance with the punishment, and he failed to make outstanding achievements and could not offset the crime with his merits. Now not only is his life left, but the title is still there, even if he is subdued, he can survive at least.
Wei Wang, Li Tai, who has not yet returned to Beijing, is still waiting triumphantly for the disease to be dealt with. He also knows a little bit about things in the city, but Li Tai disagrees. He thinks like Princess Gao Yang and thinks he has dealt with the three-state epidemic. You can be favored by the emperor again, so I will do my best to deal with the immediate affairs, and leave other things behind for the time being. (End of this chapter)
