Chapter 344: Father and Son Heart-to-Heart (6,000 words)

"Hey~"

Just a slight sigh, but it made Li Zhen's soul tremble - not frightened, but purely frightened.

God is pitiful, when did Li Zhen see Li Shimin sigh?

In his impression, Li Shimin has always been a strong man, with a strong and tenacious personality, like a proud little leopard, always arrogant, rarely expressing his true emotions, let alone showing such a weak appearance in front of others - the reason why he says very little rather than not at all is because Li Shimin will indeed show his true feelings at some times, for example, when Li Daozong died, Li Shimin once sighed, and then Li Yuan also knelt in front of Li Yuanling for a long time when he died, The time when the eldest grandson queen died, there was also silence for a long time...... But this kind of situation is very rare, even if these three times are added, Li Zhen has personally seen Li Shimin show such a weak state only a few times, and the total is less than two hands.

But now that it's not a year, why does he suddenly sigh?

What's going on?

Li Zhen muttered in her heart - could it be that this is his new routine?

It seems that you should be careful next, but you must not be fooled.

However, when Li Zhen looked up, she was even more surprised, because Li Shimin's eyes were actually red......

"Father, what are you?" The eyes are so red, which means that Li Shimin has just cried, this is ......

It's incredible......

Li Shimin actually cried......

Who would believe this?

If Li Shimin's sigh only surprised Li Zhen, then his tearful appearance really shocked Li Zhen.

From the time he crossed over to the present, Li Zhen has seen Li Shimin shed tears once, and it hasn't flowed out yet, and that time is related to Li Zhen - that is, when Li Zhen and Li Shimin expounded their true dreams more than ten years ago, Li Shimin was touched by Li Zhen, the corners of his eyes moistened, and Li Zhen took the initiative to use sand into his eyes and concealed it.

Now Li Shimin is actually crying......

He actually cried like that......

Even tears flowed out......

How does Li Zhen think about it, how can she feel unbelievable, isn't it that this is a fake Li Shimin in front of her?

"What kind of eyes are you? How? Can't I shed tears? I am also a human being, and I also have seven emotions and six desires, what is it to shed a few tears? As if seeing the horror in Li Zhen's heart, Li Shimin was a little embarrassed and angry, and he didn't have a good temperament - but with the saying of this sentence, Li Shimin suddenly felt that the original depressed mood was actually a little relaxed, this is really strange, there was no such problem before.

Could it be that you have a slight masochistic tendency?

Li Shimin felt a little worried in his heart......

"It's nothing, Erchen didn't say anything." Li Zhen smiled and said: "Father can naturally shed tears, but it is best to pay attention not to let people see it, fortunately, there are no outsiders in this study, otherwise if others see it, I am afraid that they will think that the retainer has bullied you." ”

"Poor mouth, are you still bullying me?" Li Shimin's mood is better.

"I just don't know if Erchen can know...... Why is my father crying? If he could, his father would not be afraid to say it, on the one hand, he would have a caliber to vent, and on the other hand, if there was anything embarrassing, his son might be able to help. Li Zhen slowly guided Li Shimin's mood, Li Zhen already had some guesses about why Li Shi was crying, if it was really as he guessed, then the ease that Li Shimin released just now should be only temporary, and it will soon pass, and his mood will become bad again - instead of this, it is better to open his mouth and guide the real depression in his heart out.

"How can you help?" Sure enough, as Li Zhen said guess, as soon as he talked about business, Li Shimin's mood changed again, only to hear him sigh again, and said with a little melancholy: "Hey~ Since I ascended the throne, I think I rarely make mistakes, and the praise from the court and the people has gradually made me lose myself, and I think that I should be a good emperor." ”

"There is no doubt about this, father, you are indeed a good emperor." Li Zhen hurriedly echoed, this is not a bad word, this is Li Shimin in front of him, that is a thousand years ago, enough to be able to sweep the six-in-one Qin Shi Huang and the Huns in the north to fight the Xiongnu far away from the desert to the north, and then dare not go south Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Li Shimin, if even he is not a good emperor, then throughout the 5,000 years of Chinese history, there is no one who can be called a good emperor.

"Perhaps, I boast that I have done a good job in the position of emperor, but ......" Li Shimin's tone paused, and his tone suddenly became sad: "I may have done well on the throne, but unfortunately because I paid too much attention to state affairs, I neglected to educate you...... I used to dislike your fifth and sixth brothers, and I always thought they were too bastards, but if I could spare more time to accompany you and educate you more personally, how could the fifth and sixth brothers become what they are today? ”

"What's wrong with the fifth and sixth brothers? They're actually doing pretty well. Li Zhen defended Li You and Li Su weakly: "Although the two of them like to mess around, they never bully the people, but they like to fight for the people when they encounter unfair things...... It's just that the two of them stand out for the people, and it is inevitable that they will offend those second ancestors, and their personalities are indeed a bit ...... Abominable...... The elders of the people who have been bullied by them will inevitably chew their tongues in front of your father, and the father will inevitably have a bad impression of them if they have a bad impression of them...... But to be honest, they actually have a very good reputation among the people, at least compared to the eldest brother, the two of them are much more well-known, and they are even called the kings of chivalry. ”

"Hmph, what kind of popularity are they?" Li Shimin snorted coldly: "The day before yesterday, I also received a secret report, saying that your fifth brother robbed the fiancée of a side branch of the Kong family in the fiefdom, and provoked the Kong family to come to me, and it is estimated that the fold should be here today." ”

"Hey, what is this? It's just a traitor family, if you rob it, you will rob it, what's the big deal? Li Zhen is quite disdainful of this matter, if he has a good impression of Confucianism, he is really pure only disgust for Kong (don't say what they do, if you are interested, you can search on Baidu, as long as the keyword is 'traitor family', there are articles criticizing them...... If Master Confucius could know what their descendants had done, he didn't know if he would thank the world in advance from the palace.

"You can just say this kind of thing in front of me, it's not good for outsiders to hear it, after all, the Kong family is a real thousand-year-old family, and the identity of Confucius's descendants is there, and the prestige among the people is still very high."

"It's okay, anyway, it's already a well-known thing that Erchen hates Confucianism, and even the Kong family who hates the origin of Confucianism is very normal." Li Zhen didn't take this matter to heart at all.

"Forget it, you can go." Li Shimin just mentioned it casually, and didn't care, he didn't look at it either.

"But you're doing a good job." coldly, Li Zhen was still thinking about Kong's affairs, and Li Shimin suddenly confused him with a word.

"Huh?" Li Zhen didn't react for a while, and after being stunned for two or three seconds, she understood what Li Shimin said, and quickly knelt down and said in horror: "Father is angry, it's the son's mistake, the son's minister shouldn't make a deal with his brothers in private, this is the crime of bullying the king, and the son-in-law will never dare anymore...... The father is angry, and the father is angry...... Please spare your father's life, please spare your father's life......"

"Okay, stop acting, get up." Looking at the 'frightened' Li Zhen, Li Shimin was speechless: "Your acting skills are too clumsy, and you have no sincerity at all...... I didn't blame you, didn't you listen carefully to what I said? ”

"That's great, Erchen thought his father would be angry." Li Zhen got up from the ground with a grunt, the horror on his face had long gone, replaced by a hippie smiling face - but the back was indeed soaked, Li Shimin's words turned too suddenly, it really startled him, and his heart was pounding until now.

"Hey, since I learned about your deal, I have thought a lot, and after looking back on my life, I suddenly realized that I may be a good emperor, but I am not a good father......" Li Shimin became melancholy again: "I originally thought that as long as Datang was strong, everything could be sacrificed, including the love for you, but now that I think about it carefully, even if Datang is strong, if I don't train a qualified heir for Datang, even if Datang can really unify the world one day, What's the use? The mighty country will eventually fall in his hands. ”

"Eh, my father's ......" Li Zhen glanced at Li Shimin resentfully, isn't he good enough?

"No, I'm not talking about you, Zhen'er, don't get me wrong." Li Shimin also reacted, and said with a little embarrassment: "I'm just talking about what if, just an example." ”

"But I do owe you too much, especially your Zhen'er......"

"Me?" Li Zhen pointed at herself, her eyes full of questions.

"It's you, I didn't notice it at first, but if you think about what you've done over the years, it's all for the sake of this country." Li Shimin sighed: "Although you are nominally making money for yourself, if someone else can have the ability to make money like you, you will definitely live a life of poverty and luxury, even if it is not as good as Shi Chong and Wang Kai, it is not much worse." But what about you? In addition to being the most particular about eating, you are just ordinary in other places, not extravagant at all, but invest all your money in the construction of Datang......"

"Father, you have won the award, but the sons are actually not so good." Li Zhen was a little embarrassed by Li Shimin's praise, how could he be as noble as Li Shimin said? Although what Li Shimin said is indeed true, the reason why he did this is actually a little selfish, at least the pursuit of the throne is a goal that he has never changed, if he does not have this goal, he will not be so generous.

"What's more, the sons and daughters have not made any contributions, after all, everything the sons have done, isn't it all in exchange for things from your father? We can only say that we take what we need, and the credit is actually your father's emperor - if you didn't have so much courage to trade with your sons, your sons wouldn't have been able to come up with so many things, right? After all, the rule of the retainers is that the Tao should not be passed on lightly......"

"That's why I feel more indebted to you." Li Shimin's eyes softened: "Zhen'er, you are dedicated to the country, and you exchange with us in this way, but we take this as a normal thing, and we don't realize your good intentions at all - until you don't hesitate to dedicate the naval fleet you have painstakingly built to the country, and we elders only wake up, and we really regret it......"

"Uh......" Li Zhen was speechless, whatever you say, just be happy.

Li Shimin didn't look at Li Zhen again, and continued: "The second person I can't stand is Gao Ming......

"Big brother? This ......" Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that in Li Shimin's eyes, it should be true, because Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince was lost...... Well, it's a little too inexplicable to lose it.

may be because the appearance of Li Zhen changed history, under the pressure of Li Zhen, Li Chengqian at this time has not been in the same water as Li Taishi, although he is also fighting in the dark, but it has not yet developed into an open struggle. Therefore, he was not rejected by Li Shimin, and he would not break his leg due to a drastic change in temperament. And because of the enemies of Li Tai, Li Ke and others, as well as the existence of Li Zhen, a secret threat, Li Chengqian's performance at this time is still very good (the premise is that Li Zhen cannot be involved, once something has something to do with Li Zhen, Li Chengqian will definitely say bad things about Li Zhen desperately), at least in the eyes of Li Shimin and the hundred officials, it is still very good.

Although he was matched by his uncle's brand pimp Li Yuanchang, Li Chengqian still hooked up with Xiangxin, but he had not yet let Li Shimin find out, so Li Chengqian was actually a good boy in Li Shimin's impression, and he was also a qualified prince.

If this is still in the original history, Li Zhen is still the Li Zhen in history, and Li Chengqian will keep it like this, and he can really succeed in inheriting the throne steadily.

However, Li Zhen in this time and space is now from time and space, and his performance is too eye-catching, and he has pressed all the brothers under him, including Li Chengqian.

At the beginning, everyone didn't think anything about it, but after a long time, everyone would inevitably compare Li Chengqian and Li Zhen together, so they just compared...... The difference was immediately apparent.

Although Li Chengqian's performance is also very good, except that his heart is relatively small and he can't listen to people's words, there are no other big shortcomings, and he has more than ten years of experience as the crown prince, and after Li Shimin's death in the future, it is actually very good to hand over this country to him.

However......

There is a good saying, if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods.

There is also a saying that people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away.

Li Chengqian's performance is already very qualified in everyone's eyes, but unfortunately, he met an open one - although Li Chengqian's performance is excellent, but compared with Li Zhen, who is shining with endless brilliance, he is still more than a step behind.

If you use the example of later generations to compare the gap between Li Chengqian and Li Zhen, that is, Li Chengqian is glorious gold, and he is strong enough, but he met Li Zhen, the strongest king, and he opened a legal hanging......

How can this be compared?

It's better not to use it at all, right?

With the strongest king, who will choose you gold?

There is a difference of at least five Li Tai between the two.

In this case, except for those who have enmity with Li Zhen, anyone who has a little rationality will have a good impression of Li Zhen, even if legally speaking, Li Chengqian at that time was the legitimate heir of the Tang Dynasty, but everyone understands that Li Zhen is the most suitable heir to the prince, and they will inevitably get close to Li Zhen.

It is precisely under this circumstance that Li Chengqian's mentality will inevitably be unbalanced, coupled with the provocation of people with intentions, Li Chengqian regards Li Zhen as his biggest enemy to inherit the throne, and opposes Li Zhen everywhere, and after Li Zhen leaves Chang'an, he relies on Li Zhen's absence in the court to smear him in various ways.

Outcome......

Everyone also knows that because of Li Chengqian's repeated teachings, Li Shimin couldn't bear him, and he was really optimistic about Li Zhen, so he took the opportunity of Li Chengqian's attack on Li Zhen, and on the grounds that he did not respect filial piety, he was removed from the crown prince and replaced Li Zhen - a typical scumbag......

Although Li Chengqian's heart is small-minded, but speaking of the contradiction between him and Li Zhen is actually a normal political struggle, Li Shimin's recall this time is actually not unreasonable in a certain respect, after all, Li Chengqian is not considered to have made any mistakes, so Li Shimin may be angry at the beginning, but after a long time, he may regret it.

It's just that what he regrets is not that he pushed Li Zhen to the position of prince, since Li Zhen was established as the prince, he has become more and more eye-catching, and in just two years, he has made many great achievements that others may not be able to make in a lifetime, which also proves more and more that Li Shimin gave up Li Chengqian and chose Li Zhen What a correct decision.

What Li Shimin regrets is that this is too unfair to Li Chengqian, after all, he didn't do anything wrong, he just attacked Li Zhen, and as a result, he was inexplicably deposed, too aggrieved.

"The father dismissed the eldest brother and made the son the crown prince, which is tantamount to abolishing the elder and the young, and the son is also very remorseful, not to mention that this is not in line with etiquette, otherwise the father and the emperor will re-establish the eldest brother as the crown prince." Although she could understand Li Shimin's regret, Li Zhen still felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she choked Li Shimin very unhappily.

Li Shimin was dumbfounded: "What are you talking about?" You have done a good job in the position of the crown prince, you have done much better than Gao Ming, how can your father be that kind of fool? How can he destroy himself for a trace of regret in his heart? What if the father really did this? Is the father still Li Shimin? What qualifications do I have to compare with Emperor Qin and Han Wu? ”

Li Shimin has never thought about it like this, although he regrets treating Li Chengqian like this, but Li Chengqian is indeed a lot worse than Li Zhen, and only Li Zhen is the best choice.

And in addition to Li Zhen being more suitable, there is another point that forced him to choose Li Zhen as the crown prince, that is, if Li Chengqian was not removed at that time, there was no restriction on Li Zhen, but he was allowed to make such meritorious contributions and let him continue to hide Li Chengqian in the shadows...... With Li Chengqian's cautious eyes, I am afraid that his resentment towards Li Zhen will become deeper and deeper.

And in case in the end, let Li Chengqian ascend to the throne with a grudge against Li Zhen...... Can he spare Li Zhen?

With his cautious eyes, let alone Li Zhen, even Li Tai and others don't think about it, it is estimated that the lightest will be exiled, as Li Chengqian's most hated Li Zhen, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape death.

But if this is really the case, then another question arises again - if Li Chengqian really wants to kill Li Zhen, and Li Zhen, whose power has already been formed, will sit back and wait to die?

It's impossible to think about it, and Li Zhen's temperament is also the kind that refuses to suffer - even Li Shimin asks him if he wants something, he needs to exchange something, and Li Chengqian's temperament wants his life, how can he just obediently hand over his head? I'm afraid that if I don't wait for Li Chengqian to attack him, Li Zhen will probably have to strike first, right?

On the contrary, only by removing Li Chengqian and making Li Zhen the crown prince can both of them save their lives.

Li Zhen's character Li Shimin knows very well that he is not wary of his brothers, anyway, in his opinion, no matter how good his brothers and brothers are, they are definitely not as good as himself, so he has always taken the initiative to make friends with his brothers, and never made enemies of them - although this seems to be a little too much to take Li Ke, Li Tai and others to heart, but the fact is that this is true, Li Zhen does have the confidence not to take everyone in his eyes.

So as long as Li Chengqian is not an enemy of Li Zhen, Li Zhen will definitely not be embarrassed by Li Chengqian, let alone kill him, after all, this is not good for Li Zhen.

"Erchen is just joking, don't be angry." Li Zhen said with a smile: "But Erchen really regrets it a little, Father, you also know, Erchen's original wish was to be a happy and happy prince, he didn't have to do anything, he bullied and bullied the bullies on the street every day, molested and molested two women, built a big manor, and planted peach trees all over the garden...... That day is what Erchen yearns for the most. ”

"If you really do that, what's the difference between it and your fifth and sixth brothers?" Li Shimin sighed, endured the touch in his heart, and pretended to be helpless: "Both of them have already made me anxious, if I add you, I will probably be angry with you." ”

"Hahaha......" Li Zhen laughed, followed by Li Shimin also laughed, and the hearty laughter almost broke the roof, which also made Wang Tingchu, who was guarding outside, breathe a sigh of relief - looking at the conversation between the father and son, it should be very refreshing, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have passed this pass.
