Li Yuan let Li Chengde play with his beard, and pretended to think seriously, "How about letting your elder brother come to supervise the country?" It looked like he had just thought of it, but in fact everyone could see it.
This has been thought of for a long time.
Li Yuanji looked at Li Yuan in astonishment. What the hell? Asking Li Jiancheng to supervise the country? Isn't this putting a mouse in a rice vat?
As far as Li Jiancheng's virtue is concerned, if he doesn't take the opportunity to cause trouble or cause trouble after taking over the country, then he is not him.
"Father, are you right?" Li Yuanji thought that he might have heard wrongly. Li Yuan deliberately made a serious face and said displeasedly, "You heard right, I am just going to let your eldest brother supervise the country!" Li Yuanji said
Oh, he nodded and said, "That's Hu Tu!" How could Hu Tu have such an idea?
You think your sons are still alive, so you feel unhappy, so you deliberately find something to do for your sons, and how many of them die?
Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and said angrily, "I'm not stupid, I thought it over carefully!" He didn't know what was wrong. Every time before talking to Li Yuanji, the traitor, he would tell himself over and over again, don't get angry.
Talk to your son properly.
But once he faced Li Yuanji and was criticized or angered by Li Yuanji, his anger rose and he couldn't control it at all.
This may be why older people like to say that their children and grandchildren are debt collectors and enemies.
Li Yuanji received a positive answer from Li Yuan, and said somewhat speechlessly, "You have been thinking about it for a long time, and you have come up with this?" This is not as good as I thought with my butt.
When Li Yuan heard this, he was furious. He blew his beard and shouted, "Do you think I let your eldest brother out just to fight for power with you? I did it for your own good!" Is that good for me?
Do you think my reputation is too good, so you want me to kill a brother to tarnish my reputation? Or do you think Li Jiancheng didn't die quickly enough, so you want me to help him?
As for whether Li Jiancheng would take the opportunity to rise up and ride on him again, Li Yuanji wouldn't even think about it.
With his current power, let alone Li Jiancheng, even if Li Yuan comes out again, he may not be qualified to arm-wrestle with him.
Therefore, even if Li Jiancheng is released, even if he has the momentum to rise again, it will only be a few more obstacles for him, and he will not be able to make a big wave.
Do you think those civil and military ministers still care about Li Jiancheng's righteousness? Ever since Li Jiancheng was imprisoned and became a puppet prince, no one has cared about his righteousness.
The civil and military ministers had already made preparations for him to kill his brothers, slaughter his nephews, and ask Li Yuan to become the Supreme Emperor.
That is to say, he kept pushing back and did not want that position. Otherwise, if he had given a little hint, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng might have been gone, and the emperor and prince of the Tang Dynasty would have been replaced long ago.
However, Li Jiancheng is no longer a threat now, but it does not mean that he will not be disgusting after being released.
That's why he was very resistant to Li Yuan's proposal. Sometimes, the disgusting things done by some disgusting people are really more uncomfortable than being stabbed.
"You still don't believe it?" Li Yuan saw through Li Yuanji's reaction that Li Yuanji didn't believe what he said, and immediately explained angrily, "Have you forgotten what you were doing recently? If that thing doesn't happen, you will be in doom.
, if it succeeds, you will also suffer revenge from others. Even if you weaken others to the point where they are not qualified to fight against you, their revenge will still be enough for you to drink. I know you don't care about your reputation.
, but people just like and are best at destroying a person's reputation. The last thing they can do to retaliate against you is your reputation. Once your reputation is ruined, you won't be so confident in doing some things, and you won't be able to do some things with confidence.
Things are not going so smoothly anymore!" Li Yuan was talking about wealthy families.
The wealthy families are indeed good at destroying a person's reputation. After all, the wealthy families now control the world's knowledge, control the world's mouthpieces, and regard themselves as the righteous ones of the Han family.
Li's butt is not clean to begin with, so it will be easier for others to attack her. If she does something "outrageous", it will be even easier for others to attack her.
At this point, even if the family fortune is in ruins, they are not as prominent, not as wealthy, and not as powerful as before, they still have the initiative and still have the ability to stir up trouble and fight back.
After all, knowledge, once mastered, cannot be destroyed overnight, nor can it be established overnight.
Therefore, it is easy to defeat the wealthy families, but it is difficult to defeat the knowledge they have established. Li Yuan saw that even if the wealthy families were suppressed by the court, they still had the power to fight back, so he wanted Li Jiancheng to step in and take the blame.
When the wealthy family is defeated, whether they want revenge or vent their anger, they can just come to Li Jiancheng.
As long as Li Jiancheng is dismissed and demoted to a commoner when the wealthy families are at their worst, it will be enough to give an explanation to those wealthy families.
After all, their family fortune was gone, and the court also paid for a good prince. Everyone suffered losses, and everyone just accepted the situation when it was good.
Otherwise, what else do you want? Do you want Li to kneel down and kowtow to you to confess his guilt? Is that possible? So Li Yuan wants to use Li Jiancheng as a discarded son.
It's called waste utilization. If Li Yuanji didn't care about it, he would definitely agree to Li Yuan's proposal without hesitation.
After all, after you have done a "bad thing", it is far better to find someone to help you top the tank than to do it yourself stupidly.
The former requires almost no price to pay, and the people in power who have done bad things throughout the ages have also done this. As for the latter, if you are not careful, you may be pulled down.
Therefore, the former is obviously better than the latter, and any smart person will know which one to choose. But Li Yuanji has his own calculations in his heart. What he thinks and plans may not necessarily be of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty, but it will be of great benefit to the entire civilization.
, but it has great benefits for the entire nation.
He knows more than Li Yuan and can see further than Li Yuan, so he thinks his plan is much better than Li Yuan's.
So he didn't want to accept Li Yuan's suggestion. He wanted to handle the matter from beginning to end according to his own ideas.
"I understand my father's painstaking efforts, but I have my own thoughts on this matter, and I don't need my elder brother to help me bear the consequences."
"..." Li Yuan was speechless for a moment. After a moment of silence, he cursed in anger, "You know what the heck, you have such a stupid plan. If you don't let him bear the consequences for you, you will probably have to do it yourself."
There will be no recovery!" Li Yuan didn't believe in people.
But this is normal. Most fathers do not trust the judgment of their sons at critical moments. They always want to give their sons some guidance through their own experiences and point out the direction for their sons through their own experiences.
If Li Yuanji was a pure Tang Dynasty person, the original Li Yuanji, then Li Yuan's words could definitely be regarded as words from the bottom of his heart and from experience.
But not Li Yuanji! Li Yuanji didn't expect to change Li Yuan's mind through words. Like Li Yuan, the founding emperor who created a business by himself, they were all conceited and thought their ideas were right, so
It's difficult to change their minds through words.
After all, they have all achieved the most outstanding achievements in the world. If their ideas are wrong, how could they achieve such great achievements?
They have such great achievements to back them up, so they can firmly believe that their ideas are right.
So Li Yuanji took a trick and changed his thinking to persuade Li Yuan.
"Even if I don't understand anything and don't care about anything, if I really mess up and get into trouble, wouldn't you still be there to help me?" I am young and immature, so it is normal for me to do wrong things, but not
Are you, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Nine-Five Supreme Being, helping to support us?
You can't say that you're not good enough, you're not as good as me, right? Li Yuan was slammed to the wall by these words. After humming for a long time, he shouted unreasonably, "I have handed over everything in Datang to you.
, everything in the Tang Dynasty should be decided by you! You can't expect me, an old man, to come out and wipe your butt every day, right?" Li Yuanji said with a confident smile, "Isn't it natural for a father to wipe his son's butt?
?!" Li Yuan was completely annoyed and asked fiercely, "Where is your filial piety?" It has gone bad, my emperor father!
"Am I not a traitor? It is enough for my eldest brother, second brother, third sister, and other younger brothers and sisters to pay filial piety to you. What else do you want from me, a traitor?" Have you seen it? We all say unfilial piety with confidence.
Li Yuan still has a bad temper with us.
"You are really a traitor!" Li Yuan was so angry that he was trembling all over, but he still had no temper for this traitor.
He could not be beaten again and again. This traitor is now the prince of the prison country and has to meet all the civil and military ministers. If he is injured and is seen by the civil and military ministers, it will be Li's face.
He couldn't kill him, because he only had four legitimate sons, one died in infancy, and the other two
