You should know that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty held two water and land Dharma gatherings in Chang'an and Luoyang, which included all the gods and men in the world, to pray for his father and himself.
The gathering of so many gods and men failed to preserve the empire of the former Sui Dynasty, let alone make Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty live long.
As a participant and experiencer of these two water and land rituals, how could he place all his trust in the gods?
He believes in living people more than gods.
"Father, I haven't talked about the business yet." Suddenly being driven away by Li Yuan, Li Yuanji remembered to talk about the business. Immediately, without waiting for Li Yuan to speak, he quickly reported what happened between the Turks, the Liang Kingdom, and the Dahe family.
He talked about it once, and at the same time told about his arrangements in Daizhou, as well as some guesses.
After listening to this, Li Yuan was stunned for a while, and then jokingly said: "Good boy, now do you know how to ask me for advice? I thought that after you took the power from me, you could handle everything properly.
Of course, it turns out that you are nothing more than that. If necessary, you have to ask me for help." Li Yuanji corrected: "Father, why do you mean that I took away the authority from you? It was obviously you who took the initiative to give it to me.
Is that good?" Li Yuan stared at him and said, "Is that what I wanted to give you on my own initiative? You forced me to do it!" Li Yuanji retorted without hesitation: "It's obvious that you don't know people well, and you're the one who took advantage of me.
I gave your authority to my eldest brother and my second brother, which caused them to attack each other and kill each other. I intervened at the critical moment to bring order to the chaos and corrected your mistake. You felt guilty and gave me your authority!
"Li Yuan's eyes widened even more in an instant, and he shouted: "Would I feel guilty for you?! Who should I feel guilty for? I won't feel guilty for you, a traitor!" Li Yuanji curled his lips and said, "I am a traitor,
Then what are my eldest brother and my second brother?" Li Yuan blew his beard and stared, just about to speak, Li Yuanji added another sentence,
"If my father really feels that I have taken away the power from him, then by all means, I can give the power back, or I can release my eldest brother and second brother and let them regain the power they originally had.
When the time comes for them to attack and annihilate each other again, I won't care. Because with the lessons learned from the previous time, when they attack and annihilate again, they will be more comprehensively prepared and their attacks will be more brutal. Even if I intervene at that time,
There's nothing we can do to stop it." Li Yuan was so retorted by these words that he suddenly lost his temper.
Now it is no longer a question of whether Li Yuanji is willing to return the power to him, but a question of whether he dares to take it back.
He only has three sons. When it is known that the eldest son will definitely kill the second son and the third son after he takes power, and when it is known that the second son will definitely kill the eldest son and the third son after he takes power, it is just that the eldest son will be killed.
The son and second son were imprisoned, and the third son, who had not done anything extreme and had not committed any murders, was the only choice for him as an old father.
When the third son was in power and his behavior was not so stupid, he really had no other choice.
Now when the third son was in power, he not only crippled the Turks, the great enemy of the Tang Dynasty, but also changed the strength between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.
Not only that, while the third son worked hard to improve his martial arts, he also did not give up on civil education. He made great achievements whether it was opening elementary schools in various places or developing financial resources in border areas, water transportation, and maritime transportation.
More importantly, the third son also clearly knew who the potential enemies of Datang were, and was trying every possible way to help Datang weaken and eradicate these potential enemies.
Taken together, even if the third son cannot become a famous king throughout the ages, he can still become a good emperor.
Therefore, he had absolutely no reason to take back power from his third son and let his eldest son and second son fight each other again.
That is to say, the third son seems to have never been interested in the throne, and there is not even the slightest hint of coveting the throne from him.
This made him, an old father, a little uncomfortable. In fact, he no longer minded letting his third son succeed him, nor did he mind that his third son brought the civil and military power of the dynasty to ask him to be the Supreme Emperor.
He has even begun to imagine that after he becomes the Supreme Emperor, he can escape from the prison of the palace and swim in every corner of the Tang Dynasty, and then meet a certain bad guy or a certain naughty man, sneak up on him, and let him go.
They taught him a lesson, and then he revealed his identity, scaring a large number of people to death, and finally left the legend of his greatness, uprightness, and uninhibited style in every corner of the Tang Dynasty.
However, the third son has never been able to muster the motivation and has never coveted the throne, which makes it impossible to realize everything he wants in his heart.
That is to say, he is not sure about the temperament of the rebellious third son, and does not like to be manipulated by him. Otherwise, he would like to try to see if he can reverse the situation and make the third son ascend the throne.
For example, he mobilized all the civil and military forces he could to secretly link up and drive his third son to his palace to force him to the throne. Then he pretended to be extremely reluctant to pass on the throne, and finally left Chang'an City in despair and left this city.
Fanlong, go and appreciate the landscapes in every corner of the Tang Dynasty and the beauties there.
"It seems that father doesn't think that I took away the power from you! Then father, please don't say such things again, so as not to make others misunderstand." Li Yuanji didn't know what Li Yuan was thinking, and saw that Li Yuan was criticized by him and said
He was speechless and gave Li Yuan a 'warning' with a confident smile.
Li Yuan rolled his eyes at his son and said angrily: "I know the severity..." After saying that, he talked about business with his son.
"Did you go to see Er Feng just now?" Li Yuanji was stunned, and said with a look of astonishment: "Er Feng?" Li Yuan curled his lips and said, "Isn't this the nickname you gave to that traitor? What did you do?
Can not remember?!"
"What am I..." Li Yuanji blurted out, but in the middle of his sentence, he suddenly remembered the "Er Feng".
This was when Li Shimin was imprisoned in Anlimen, and when he was reviewing the memorials, he had a disagreement with him, and used the memorials to fight with him for a while. He was so angry that he came up with nicknames for future generations to ridicule Li Shimin.
, replied "Li Erfeng, you are a prisoner, don't be too arrogant".
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Logically speaking, only he and Li Shimin know about this matter. Ling Jing, who passed the letter from it, doesn't even know about it. How could Li Yuan know about it?
Li Yuanji looked at Li Yuan suspiciously. Li Yuan, did you do something shameful behind my back?
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not spying on you secretly. It's you and that treacherous son who went too far. They messed up the memorandum and didn't return it to them. They thought you had something against him.
When you came to me for help, I secretly had someone take the memorial over and read it, and then I saw the nonsense you two traitors wrote on the memorial." Li Yuan felt the unkindness in his son's eyes and curled his lips to explain.
After a while.
After Li Yuanji understood the inside story, he nodded and then looked outside the palace. Li Yuan suddenly panicked and suddenly stood up and shouted to the outside of the palace: "Quickly! Send that boy Hu Yong out of the palace quickly. Send him away."
It's far away, and it's best that no one can find it." Before Li Yuanji could finish his words, the visitors guarding the door of the hall had already started to move.
After Li Yuan finished shouting, he sat down and complained: "I don't have many people in my hands now, so can't you turn a blind eye?" Li Yuanji spread his hands and said: "I
You didn't do anything?!" Li Yuan curled his lips and said scornfully: "I can guarantee that if I hadn't sent that kid away before you, that kid's head would have moved by now." Li Yuanji said funnyly:
"Am I that bloodthirsty?" Li Yuan said even more contemptuously: "Do you dare to say that when you looked at the door of the palace just now, you didn't want to find someone to kill that kid?" Li Yuanji subconsciously touched his nose and did not deny this.
He did have murderous intentions just now, because he was very resistant to this kind of spying on him. Li Yuan was his advantage, and he couldn't do anything about Li Yuan, but he couldn't tolerate other people.
However, Li Yuan stopped him in advance, and he stopped chasing and shouting. It was just a small matter. Li Yuan had personally stopped him from killing people, which was equivalent to admitting his mistake, and he could no longer be aggressive.
You know, Li Yuan is not a kind person. When he gets angry, he kills people in the palace just like killing chickens.
Those palace ladies and eunuchs who were killed with sticks in the East Palace in the past probably have not yet closed their eyes. Therefore, Li Yuan would not care about the life or death of a eunuch.
The reason why Li Yuan stopped him from killing was purely to admit his mistake. Li Yuan was telling him in this way that he had done something wrong this time, and he hoped that as his son, he would not worry about it.
"Okay, let's continue talking about what we just said. Have you gone to see Er Feng?" Li Yuan, a father, after bowing his head in disguise to his son, looked a little confused and quickly changed the topic.
Li Yuanji also calmed down and talked about business with Li Yuan. He did not hide the fact that he went to find Li Shimin, but told Li Yuan everything.
After listening, Li Yuan was silent for a long time, thinking. After about a quarter of an hour, Li Yuan came back to his senses and said thoughtfully: "Since the Western Turks, Tu Diji, Tajiang, Goguryeo, and Bai
Ji and Silla have been excluded, Tuyuhun has formed an alliance with the Turks, and all the forces around the Turks have been excluded, so is it possible that there is something wrong within the Turks?" Li Yuanji was stunned, and suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Feeling cheerful, he hurriedly said: "What my father means is that someone within the Turks was dissatisfied with Jie Li, secretly contacted Liang Shidu and the Dahe family, and launched an attack on the Turks?" Li Yuan nodded and said: "With Liang Shidu
The troops of the Ministry and the Dahe clan fought against the Turks, and they would die without any hope of life. If there was no benefit, why would they do such a life-or-death thing? Is Liang Shidu stupid, or is Dahe Duluo stupid?
" Without waiting for Li Yuanji to speak, Li Yuan asked and answered again: "These two people are not stupid, because I have met both of them. Therefore, they must have a lot of support to attack the Turks, and they can gain from the Turks.
It is a great benefit. And other forces around the Turks have not participated in it, which means that their reliance must come from within the Turks." After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuanji already had a certain guess in his mind, but he still
Not sure, so he continued to ask: "Who does father think this person relies on?" Li Yuan said without any hesitation: "There is a high possibility that it is Suni!" Li Yuan not only gave an answer, but also gave
gave his own analysis,
"The territory controlled by Sunisi is east of the Turks and borders the Dahe clan. When the Dahe clan invaded Pingzhou and were blocked by Luo Yi and Tu Diji, they completely succumbed to the Turks and surrendered to the Turks.
, it was Sunish who accepted them at that time. After they turned to the Turks, Jieli also handed them over to Sunish. Therefore, Sunish had close contact with them, which could make them forget about the power of the Turks and their opposition to the Turks.
The fear of the Turks, Sunis was the only one who attacked the Turks together with Liang Shidu."
