Chapter 370: Vested interests
"What you say is not unreasonable." Li Er thought about it carefully and found that it was really possible, especially after Zhang Nan explained the symptoms of retirement syndrome to Li Er, Li Er was even more sure that Li Yuan had this disease, because the symptoms Zhang Nan said were exactly the same as Li Yuan.
"What the minister said is not wrong at all, and this is admitted by the Emperor himself." Zhang Nan said.
"You mean to say that the Emperor himself said these words to you?" Li Er said strangely, Li Yuan, an old man, is in Li Er's heart, and he is not a person who easily expresses his feelings.
Zhang Nan nodded seriously, in fact, Zhang Nan is not a nosy person, it's just that Li Yuan himself doesn't have a few years to live, Zhang Nan doesn't want to see this old man die alone in Da'an Palace, and Li Er is just a little more suspicious, if Li Er dispels the doubts in his heart, then maybe the relationship between a pair of superb fathers and sons may be eased a little.
Zhang Nan didn't expect the relationship between Li Er and Li Yuan to be like that of ordinary father and son, father and son, Zhang Nan just wanted these two people not to meet each other one day like enemies, one to add blockage to the other.
"What the Emperor has to say to you, I want you to tell me word for word." Li Er said with a serious face, although Li Er kicked his father off the throne, but in the final analysis, Li Er still respects the old man of his family, which is why, although Li Er put Comrade Li Yuan under house arrest and did not let Li Yuan sell his face in front of the courtiers, he would rather live a more difficult life, and he would also serve this old man who has been empty and comfortable.
"Your Majesty, you promise the ministers first, don't be angry, otherwise you will be angry later, and it will not be good to pull the ministers out and cut them down in a fit of anger." Zhang Nan first gave Li Er a preventive shot in advance, because these words were all said by Li Yuan, not by him Zhang Nan, if Li Er was angry when he heard it and gave Zhang Nan a board, then Zhang Nan would lose more than he gained.
Li Er first glared at Zhang Nan, and then said: "I forgive you for your innocence, you can rest assured, say it, I listen." ”
Zhang Nan got Li Er's assurance, which was not too reliable, so he spoke carefully.
"Emperor Taishang said that he was the emperor for a total of eight years from the time he raised an army against Sui to ascend the throne, and his ass was driven down by the emperor before he was hot." Zhang Nan said cautiously.
After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he also glanced at Li Er, in front of Li Er, the Xuanwumen incident was an absolute forbidden area, and he couldn't mention it, because Li Er also knew that his throne was not going well, so Zhang Nan deliberately glanced at Li Er, and found that Li Er's face did not have any superfluous expression, so Zhang Nan had the courage to continue to speak.
"The Emperor Taishang also said, if you are not the emperor, it is not appropriate, if you are not the emperor, at least the emperor is not bad." Zhang Nan said.
"The Emperor did he really say that? Aren't you trying to make me happy? Li Er glanced at Zhang Nan suspiciously, as if he didn't believe that this sentence could come out of Li Yuan's mouth.
"The minister is absolutely not half-lying." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he raised his three fingers with an oath.
"Alright, you go on, I'll listen." Li Er waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Nan to continue.
"But since the queen left, the emperor said that he didn't even have a confidant to talk to, every day in this Da'an Palace is deserted, the emperor thinks that he is too emperor, it is not as good as when it was time to be a minister, at least at that time his children are there, his beloved wife is also there, and every day is also delicious." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he didn't say any more, because Comrade Li Yuan's other two sons died at the hands of the son in front of him.
Zhang Nan lowered his head and was silent, Li Er didn't know why, he didn't speak, so Zhang Nan had to keep his head down.
In the end, Zhang Nan couldn't hold it back, and quietly raised his head to look at Li Er, only then did Zhang Nan find that Li Erzheng was red-eyed and didn't know what he was thinking.
When Zhang Nan saw Li Er's appearance, he knew that now was not the time to speak, so he kept his head down and remained silent, and after a long time, Li Er finally spoke.
"Emperor Taishang, did he really say that?" Li Er repeated his question again.
Zhang Nan didn't say much, but nodded heavily, as soon as Zhang Nan saw Li Er asking, he knew that there was a way to let Li Yuan be the principal, at least Li Er hadn't cultivated to the point where he could really isolate his family and family affection.
Li Er was able to be ruthless at that time, completely because his life was threatened, and there was the throne that had been tempting him, but Li Er had finally gotten the throne he wanted, so now Li Er will want even more of the things he lost, that is, the affection between his family.
"I owe a lot to my father." Li Er raised his head, not knowing if he was trying to keep his tears from staying, or if he was habitually raising his head.
"Your Majesty, although the minister is an outsider, do you want to hear the minister's opinion?" Zhang Nan lowered his head and said, Zhang Nan knew that the Xuanwumen incident was Li Er's heart disease, and it was also a forbidden area, and he said this matter not only by touching Li Er's tiger buttocks, but also riding on the head of Li Er's tiger and beating his ass.
"You say, I also want to see what others think of me, maybe in your eyes, I am a murderer who kills my brother and kills my brother. Qingquan, do you also think that person is stronger than me to be on the throne? Li Er's voice trembled a little, and it could be seen that this incident still had a great impact on Li Er.
"The minister doesn't talk about whether the person who will be the emperor will be stronger than the emperor, because that doesn't mean anything at all, the minister is just a vested interest." Zhang Nan said.
Zhang Nan doesn't talk about this, firstly because Zhang Nan is not stupid, and secondly, because many historians now believe that if Li Jiancheng is allowed to be the emperor, it is indeed better than Comrade Li Er. And Zhang Nan has never seen Li Jiancheng at all, if Zhang Nan can come a few years earlier, maybe Zhang Nan will be able to draw his own judgment.
"Vested interests? What does that mean. Li Er didn't understand what Zhang Nan meant.
"It means that the ministers now have high-ranking officials and Houlu, which are all given by the emperor, of course, the ministers have done enough things, but these are indeed given by the emperor to the ministers, so the ministers naturally have to support the emperor." Zhang Nan said with a smile.
"Qingquan, you're really a sleek person." Li Er sighed.
"It's not like that, but in the eyes of the minister, the emperor deserves it, and it's really good." Zhang Nan didn't say this simply to shoot Li Er's ass.
