Chapter 934: Handed over to the imperial court
This Tian Luo had a way, so he didn't answer this question himself, but threw this question back directly, wanting to get a perfect answer from Li Yuanba.
Think about it, since you have asked this question, then you must have the answer, and it is better to get a satisfactory result from the person who asked the question.
Hearing Tian Luo's words, Li Yuanba turned his head and glanced at Tian Luo, and said slowly:
"It depends on the scale in the heart of the shopkeeper Tian, you ask yourself with your heart, whether it is biased towards the eldest son, or the second son, or the best for the younger son!"
Li Yuanba's words made Tian Luo stunned again, this division of family property can't be divided according to his likes and dislikes for his children, right? If it really goes on like this, I'm afraid that those sons will definitely quarrel over this issue.
"Sir, do you mean to say that I will give them as much as I want to give my sons, according to how much I like them?"
Tian Luo, who was very entangled in his heart, always felt that the young man in front of him, who looked no more than twenty-seven or eighteen years old, seemed to have dug a pit for himself, a deep pit that he couldn't jump out of no matter how he jumped.
"Or else?" Li Yuanba said with a smile: "If I asked you to divide the family property into three parts: large, medium and small, and divide the largest share among them to your least favorite son, and the smallest share to your favorite son, would you do the same?" ”
"Of course not!" Tian Luo almost blurted out.
"Isn't that it?" Li Yuanba spread his hands and said: "What is in front of you right now is not only the division of family property based on your personal likes and dislikes, but also the contribution of your children to the 'Youzhou Roast Duck'." There are two divisions, you can choose by yourself! ”
This time it was Tian Luo's turn to be dumbfounded, and it was completely messy in the wind. As far as Li Yuanba said, the two divisions are not the most appropriate divisions, no matter which one he uses to divide them, his sons and daughters may not be satisfied.
Li Chengqian heard something else from Li Yuanba's words, isn't the situation encountered by Tian Luo at the moment similar to the situation that Li Shimin is in now?
The difference. Tian Luo just opened more than a dozen 'Youzhou Roast Duck', which only involved property and family issues, but the problem encountered by Li Shimin was the entire Tang Dynasty, and even the vast whole world!
In the past, they were still young and couldn't get involved in this problem, or they were consciously divided by Li Yuanba, but now? Li Shimin is getting older and older, and the rights of these princes are getting bigger and bigger.
Say something disrespectful. If Li Shimin dies, this throne may not fall into the arms of his crown prince Li Chengqian.!
Just when Li Chengqian's face was changing, Tian Luo over there spoke again: "Sir, I don't plan to use either of these methods!" As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, if my children are not good, the big deal is that after I die, I will hand over all the properties under my name to the imperial court! ”
"Are you willing?" Li Yuanba looked at Tian Luo with some surprise. Asked.
"There's nothing to be reluctant to give!" Tian Luo shook his head and said, "Anyway, wait until I die." I can't see these anymore, rather than letting those unscrupulous descendants ruin these family businesses, it is better to hand over the 'Youzhou Roast Duck' to the imperial court, so that at least the 'Youzhou Roast Duck' can continue to be passed on, so as not to break the inheritance! ”
"Shopkeeper Tian is a great wisdom!" Li Yuanba clapped his hands and said with a smile: "You know that the imperial court will not accept your 'Youzhou roast duck' for nothing." You are so generous, if you really want to scatter all your wealth, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass that level, right? ”
"Sir's Eye!" Tian Luo smiled bitterly: "Until the last step, I will never do this!"
"Well, it's a hundred years away from the shopkeeper Tian. It's still early, and you still have time to think about these issues! ”
Li Yuanba waved his hand, as if he had reacted to something, and said, "Hmm, that's right!" Shopkeeper Tian, pack me a few more roast ducks like this, I'm going to take them home and let my family try them! ”
The master who can ask such a thought-provoking question, Tian Luo naturally didn't dare to slack off, nodded in response, turned around and walked out of this private room, and even took Xiao Er, who was waiting with him, out of the room.
The departure of the master and servant of Tianluo made the private room silent, Li Chengqian lowered his head and continued to think about what Li Yuanba said, while Li Yuanba drank the digestion tea slowly and did not disturb him.
And those guards, at this time, came to the private room very interestingly, after all, the issues discussed by the two princes were beyond the scope of their knowledge.
There are some things that you don't know is far more than knowing that you have to live a longer life and live more freely!
……
In the private room, after being silent for a full quarter of an hour, Li Chengqian finally raised his head, his eyes were a little bloodshot, and his expression was a little more contemplative:
"Fourth Emperor Uncle, if you were your father, and you were asked to choose one of our princes to inherit the throne, who would you choose?"
If these words reach the ears of other people, I am afraid that it will cause a big riot, and it is really unbelievable that the dignified crown prince should have such an idea.
"Oh?"
Although Li Yuanba knew that his words had already made Li Chengqian confused, he didn't expect this little guy to be very witty and even ask Li Yuanba in turn.
"If I choose the heir to the throne, I won't choose any of you!"
Li Yuanba looked at Li Chengqian, who looked confused when he heard his words, and laughed happily: "What, do you feel incredible?"
"Fourth Emperor Uncle, this world belongs to my Li clan's royal family, don't you choose one of our brothers, can't you go and find one from the outside?" Li Chengqian asked in surprise.
"Is there anything you can't do?" A hint of banter appeared in Li Yuanba's eyes, and he said:
"If I choose the heir to the throne, the judgment will not be limited to you little guys, after all, my Li royal family is a big family, regardless of whether it is a descendant or a side line, there must be hundreds of children together, if you choose the best of the best, you may not be as good as the brothers of the side line!"
"This, this...... How can this be? Li Chengqian was taken aback by Li Yuanba's words, "Uncle Four Emperors, since ancient times, this dynasty has been passed from father to son, from son to grandson, and the inheritance of the lineage can ensure the continuity of the imperial lineage.
