Chapter 224 The people are more valuable than the king

"Li Junxian, why did you say this? Even if Cheng Qian only begged for love once, it was because he knew His Majesty's will and was afraid, so he gave up asking for love. If Cheng Qian is like Li Feng, he is not afraid of His Majesty.

, will also intercede for those East Palace guards again." Changsun said.

She didn't want her son to be compared to anyone, even if that person was her godson.

Li Junxian understood what his eldest grandson meant, but he was more upright and said, "My queen is right. If the prince is not afraid of your majesty, then he may plead again and again."

"What's possible is certain, and I will definitely ask for mercy..." Changsun said.

Li Junxian said again: "I made a mistake in my words, please forgive me."

Li Er said: "Okay, if you have something to say, continue talking. If you have nothing to say, prepare yourself. I will go to Li Feng in person to ask clearly what is going on at the scene."

"Yes, Your Majesty. In fact, the reason why the Crown Prince is inferior to the Marquis of Lantian is not to plead for mercy, but because His Highness the Crown Prince's views are inferior to those of the Marquis of Lantian.

The Marquis of Lantian regarded these guards as human beings, and their lives were also their lives. But the prince was different.

The prince thought that they were just a group of Qiuba, and His Highness had no intention of paying attention to them. What's more, the prince learned that His Majesty's intention was to kill all the guards, so he would not pay attention to them even more.

His Highness the Crown Prince also believed that as long as he was His Highness the Crown Prince, many people would come to fawn over him. He also believed that as long as he had a good relationship with the world's scholars, he would be invincible.

At that time, Wei Chen found that the eyes of the East Palace guards were red, and they were very angry and sad."

Li Er said angrily again: "Beast, you actually think that your guards are just a group of Qiu Ba. Don't forget that I was born in the army.

Without my outstanding achievements and my immediate victory in the world, how could you be here now and want to rely on the world to help you win the world? Haha, your end will be the same as your uncle and third uncle."

Li Chengqian suddenly collapsed on the ground. Li Er frightened him, especially the last sentence. His uncle and third uncle were Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. They were both killed by their father.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Li Er's eyes.

Li Chengqian said slowly: "Is it wrong? Am I wrong? No, I am not wrong. I am not wrong at all. It is the father who is wrong. Yes, it is the father who is wrong."

He suddenly stood up and said very forcefully: "Father, my son and I are not wrong. Since ancient times, the emperor has ruled the world together with the aristocratic family. Where did my son and I go wrong?

On the contrary, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ruled the Han Dynasty with force and ignored the aristocratic families. After the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty began to decline.

And the Sima family, if there is no family to support him, can he successfully rebel against Cao Cao?"

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian suddenly felt that he was not afraid at all. Looking at Li Er, he was extremely calm.

Obviously, he thought that what he said was a great truth, and the question he just asked would definitely make his father speechless.

Li Er looked at Li Chengqian with a complicated expression, and for a moment he didn't even recognize his son.

Then, he said with some disappointment: "A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family, Chengqian, do you know why?"

"Because the heritage of the aristocratic family is deeper than that of the dynasty." Li Chengqian said.

Li Er shook his head and said: "You only saw the background, but you didn't know that the maggots possessed by the family were constantly sucking the bones and blood of the dynasty. When the dynasty is sucked to the point of becoming skinny, the dynasty will also be gone."

Destruction is not far away.

Chengqian, I can tell you clearly that your idea is wrong. If you want to truly achieve the foundation of everything, then you must do this: everything must be based on the foundation, the country is people-oriented, and people are based on food and clothing.

Losing the right is the basis.

Why did the former Sui Dynasty die? It was because Yang Guang's extravagant life led to the people's deprivation of life, and the people could no longer survive, which led to the people's rebellion, and finally the former Sui Dynasty was destroyed.

Do you think Yang Guang perished because he did not get the support of the family, or did he perish because he forced the people to survive, causing them to rebel and be destroyed?"

"My ministers believe that he caused the danger of annihilation because he angered the Jiangnan family." Li Chengqian said, "Of course, Yang Guang caused complaints from the people, which was also one of the reasons for the annihilation of the country.

However, if there was a Jiangnan family assisting Yang Guang at that time, I believe that a mere untouchable would not care."

"Shut up." Li Er got angry again, "My empire was defeated by the mere pariahs you call me and my own ministers.

If you think it's no big deal to be a mere pariah, just go and be what you call a pariah for a month. I hope you can have a profound experience."

"Second brother." Empress Changsun shouted again, "Chengqian is still young and he doesn't know what he is talking about. It must be the prince's gentlemen who taught Chengqian nonsense, which is why Chengqian talked nonsense."

Li Er said in a deep voice: "Mr. Guanyin, you don't have to speak for this scoundrel. The teacher who taught Cheng Qian Dao is my teacher. I know best what their knowledge is like."

"But"

"There's no need for it. If he doesn't know how to reflect, he doesn't need to be the prince anymore." Li Er directly interrupted Changsun's words.

Li Er's words made Li Chengqian's heart feel like a bolt from the blue.

With a brush, he knelt down and said, "Father, please calm down. I realize my mistake. I am willing to live among the people for a month."

"Second brother, can you let Cheng Qian go again?" Changsun begged.

Li Er sighed and said: "Just follow what Guanyin Maid wants, but I can stay in the East Palace before the Lantern Festival and I'm not allowed to go anywhere.

Also, remember my words, don’t mess with Li Feng, otherwise I will still depose you from your position as prince.”

"My son, please remember your father's teachings." Li Chengqian knelt on the ground again.

"Please step back."

"Yes, I will retire."

Li Er turned his head and did not look at Li Chengqian at all, but Empress Changsun looked worried.

It was not until Li Chengqian left that Li Er sighed and said: "Hey, Chengqian, when will he know that the people are the most valuable, the country is second, and the king is the least. The king is the boat, and the common people are the water. The water carries the boat, and the water is the

Capsize the boat.

Alas, as long as Cheng Qian can understand this, then he will be the second Li Shimin, and the great Tang Dynasty will not be a dream."

Changsun held Li Er's hand and comforted him: "Don't worry, Cheng Qian will definitely understand your second brother's painstaking efforts."

"I hope so." Li Er paused and continued: "Guanyin Maid, prepare some gifts and go to Li Feng tomorrow. The New Year is coming soon. Let's celebrate the New Year well with Li Feng.

We can't let him feel like he's spending the New Year alone in Chang'an, so we can be his best friends and his adoptive mother."

Empress Changsun nodded and said: "You should prepare. By the way, Feng'er gave me a bamboo tube last time and said it was fireworks. Setting off these fireworks at night will be very beautiful. Why don't we give it a try tonight?"
