849, Li Shimin's warning (I)

"Alright, I've agreed to produce this cannon. In the future, the Ordnance Superintendent must produce more of this cannon, and find a way to improve this cannon, and then make this cannon better and better. It's better to be able to shoot farther, and be able to be more powerful, so that we Datang can really sit back and relax. The best way to really prevent others from plotting against others is to make yourself stronger, not to weaken your own strength to prevent the enemy from gaining it. Only when you are strong can you deter those who are ambitious. And if you are afraid that the enemy will get your own weapons and then attack you in turn, then you are probably putting the cart before the horse. Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin's words have been made very clear, that is, Li Shimin supports the production of this cannon, and also tells everyone not to be afraid that the enemy has obtained the cannon. As long as you can maintain the strength of your cannons all the time, then you should be able to curb the enemy's ambitions. Only being strong is the real way to protect yourself, not relying on some so-called limiting your own strength, and then making it impossible for the enemy to obtain these weapons. The Tang Dynasty is different from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although the Tang royal family has Hu blood, but the Tang Dynasty's royal family considers itself to be Han Chinese, not any Hu people. Therefore, they will not limit the development of their strength because they are afraid that their people will rebel, which is very stupid.

And when Li Chengqian heard Li Shimin's words, he also knew that he had failed this time. originally wanted to suppress Jingwen and make Jingwen lose a big face, but now he sent his face to others instead. And this time, Li Ke and Jingwen came to slap him in the face, so Li Chengqian felt very depressed. Stealing chickens and rice is probably a very depressing thing for anyone. And Jingwen also smiled at Li Chengqian, obviously suing Li Chengqian, he failed again. However, this was seen by Li Shimin.

"Jingwen, you go back to the palace with me!" Li Shimin said.

And Jingwen was speechless, what did Li Shimin want to do? Everyone else can "move freely". But he was actually pulled closer to the palace, and it looked like he was going to give a lecture! However, he is the emperor, and Jingwen can only follow, there is no other way.

Jingwen came to Taiji Palace, and then Li Shimin also sat down.

"You don't have a good relationship with the prince, and I actually know about it." Li Shimin came first with this sentence.

And Jing Wen was nervous for a while, what did Li Shimin want to do when he said this? Jingwen and the prince have a bad relationship, I'm afraid many people know this. And since the last time Jingwen broke the matter of Li Chengqian's placement of people in the military academy, it has no good relationship. Later, Li Chengqian sent someone to assassinate him, which is equivalent to a contradiction that is difficult to reconcile. So. After that, Jingwen and Li Chengqian had a very bad relationship, and Li Chengqian dug holes for him several times. And Jingwen also fought back several times, making Li Chengqian disgraced. Therefore, Jingwen didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking. And Li Shimin doesn't seem to want to reconcile the contradictions between Jingwen and Li Chengqian, because the contradictions in them are not so easy to reconcile. But this may be the emperor's mental technique, and most people don't know it.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?" Jingwen asked.

And Li Shimin took the initiative to say: "You have a bad relationship with the prince, I know this, and I don't care." After all. I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the crown prince is also my son. To put it mildly, as long as I don't go to see my ancestors and ancestors for a day, I will always be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. And the Prince. Now he is only my son, or even just a courtier. Therefore, I hope that you can put yourself in a clear position, and don't do anything foolish because of the prince. I don't want you to get involved in anything. I don't want Lizhi to be widowed before she gets married! ”

Li Shimin spoke to the end, obviously a little murderous. This time, it seems that Jingwen has really touched Li Shimin's absolute bottom line. That is the question of the power of the emperor. And Jingwen guessed in his mind, what does this Li Shimin want to do? How did you warn yourself like that? Moreover, he did not hesitate to warn him with his own life, it seems that there is really something big. And Jingwen didn't know what Li Shimin meant, so he planned to ask directly.

"The minister also asked the emperor to give a clear sign!" Jingwen asked.

And Li Shimin said: "Just now you and Ke'er sang and harmonized, it seems that this play is doing well!" What is the relationship between you and Ke'er? ”

And Jingwen immediately understood that just now Jingwen and Li Ke temporarily formed an alliance together, and then dealt with Li Chengqian together. This made Li Shimin a little worried, worried that Jingwen would really collude with Li Ke, and then work together to seize the throne.

Li Shimin is still very young, so he naturally doesn't want his son to start plotting for the throne so early. But after all, some things are not what they want to be, and now several sons have begun to seize the position of the crown prince, that is, the position of the future emperor. And Li Shimin can only retreat and not let those ministers get involved. If it's just some princes who want to seize the throne themselves, then I'm afraid they can only compete for favor by currying favor with the emperor.

But once some ministers participated, and even some important ministers of the court participated, then things would change for the worse. The resources of the officials of the imperial court are very large, and although they are not as close as the royal family, the resources they have at their disposal are not small. Once these resources are invested in a certain prince, the problem is very serious. This can easily cause the power of a certain prince to swell, which is very detrimental to the balance of other princes.

And Li Shimin actually wants to maintain the balance of power between several princes, and although Li Shimin has now appointed Li Chengqian as the crown prince, he is also wary of the prince in his heart. Therefore, Li Shimin also recalled the two princes to Chang'an, and then let them cultivate their own small forces. This is actually just to maintain the balance between the princes. But once a certain prince is too powerful, it will affect the emperor's rights, which is not a good thing for Li Shimin.

Therefore, Li Shimin must suppress this situation, and Li Shimin is also afraid that a certain important minister of the court will be involved, so it will be unlucky. Li Shimin is warning Jingwen to let Jingwen know more and not to participate in any royal family to seize the throne.

"Your Majesty, can you please say a few words?" Jingwen said.

"Say it!" Li Shimin replied. (To be continued......)
