Chapter 107: Grant me the title of Xiaoyao King and let me farm
"That feeling is strange."
"It's like feeling confident."
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "When I make a mistake, there is always someone who hides it for me."
"Whenever I was beaten by my father, someone would always come over and give me medicine." .??.
"When someone scolds me, there is always someone to help me."
Listen to Li Chengqian's account.
Li Shimin also smiled: "Then this feeling is really good."
"If possible, I would also like to experience it."
Throughout history, many people criticized Li Shimin.
He said he was extremely cruel to his brothers and compatriots.
But who knows what he went through?
Since childhood, I have been ostracized by my brothers and alienated by my sisters.
Apart from his brother-in-law Chai Shao, the only one who could listen to his complaints and chat with him was Changsun Wuji.
I have brothers, but I don’t have the happiness of brothers.
Who can know the anguish in his heart?
The world only knows that he killed his brother.
But who knew that the throne was originally his?
When he raised troops in Jinyang, Li Yuan once said that if he conquers the world, Li Shimin will be the prince.
But what about after conquering the world?
The prince was born to Li Jiancheng.
And Li Shimin became the tool man of Datang.
Moreover, he is still a tool who has to be squeezed out and controlled by others.
To a certain extent.
Li Shimin didn't kill his own brother.
But his brothers gradually forced him to kill them.
The previous Li Chengqian, just like the above, thought that Li Shimin was cruel and ruthless, and was murderous.
But later, after Li Chengqian got along with Li Shimin in person.
He knew that Li Shimin was far from the cruel and ruthless person mentioned in history.
If he is cruel, can he be loved by all people?
If he is cruel, can he repeatedly reward his former enemies with promotions?
These are just the helplessness of living in such a troubled world.
If he didn't kill him, Li Shimin would not be the only one to die.
Cheng Yaojin, Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Shubao and many others, including Li Chengqian, could not survive.
He is not moving forward alone, but has shouldered the fate of many people.
He hid all these sorrows deep in his heart and never told anyone about them.
But today, he told his son.
Li Shimin looked up at the sky, looked at Li Chengqian, and asked: "If it was you who was standing in that position, would you kill him or not?"
Li Chengqian pursed his lips and said only one word.
"kill."
"Why?"
Li Shimin looked straight at him.
"If you don't kill."
"I will die, my mother will die, my uncle, Uncle Cheng, Uncle Qin, and Uncle Hou will all die."
"If I were allowed to use my reputation in exchange for these people's survival and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, I would be willing to be this evil person."
Li Chengqian raised his head and looked at Li Shimin.
The father and son looked at each other for a long time.
Li Shimin suddenly laughed.
Laughing on your back.
It was a smile that was understood.
"After so many years, these things have been held in my heart for so long."
"If I speak it out and my son can understand it, I will be satisfied."
At this time, Li Shimin was not like that ninety-five-year-old man.
His lonely appearance was no different from that of an ordinary poor scholar who was depressed and frustrated.
Seeing him like this, Li Chengqian felt inexplicably distressed.
He doesn't want to be the emperor or the prince.
There are two reasons. One is that he does not want to be like Li Chengqian in his previous life, who died tragically.
Secondly, I am afraid of being like Li Shimin, shouldering everything but being unable to complain.
"Cao Cao once said, I would rather let the world down than let the world down me."
"This sentence, when I think about it sometimes, does make sense."
Li Chengqian looked indifferent: "If you want to do big things, naturally you can't care about what others think."
"If you always care about other people's opinions, then that's what you will do in your life."
"A Confucian scholar once scolded the Emperor of Qin to his face, saying that he should not sit and drink with his ministers."
"The Emperor of Qin angrily rebuked the Confucian scholar, saying that the monarchy was conquered only by ministers who sacrificed their lives to fight."
"What's wrong with a monarch and his ministers drinking together?"
"Afterwards, Confucian scholars used this to make a big fuss, saying that all the officials of Emperor Qin were rude people who did not distinguish between emperor and minister."
"When Emperor Qin found out, he cursed these Confucian scholars as idiots, and then launched a campaign to burn books and entrap Confucians in order to destroy Confucianism."
"And this incident of burning books and humiliating Confucians has also brought Emperor Qin to eternal infamy."
Li Chengqian raised his head and looked at Li Shimin: "The dilemma that Emperor Qin faced was the same as that of his father."
"People all over the world say that my father's empire came from a wrong path."
"Then let me ask them, is it reasonable for the world to be inherited by the stupid eldest son?"
"It's really unfair."
"This is not fair to the people, and it is even more unfair to those who have the ability."
After hearing what Li Chengqian said.
Li Shimin closed his eyes, and the heartstrings that were touched in his heart could not calm down for a long time.
If we take Li Jiancheng alone, it is true that he is kind and generous.
But if you ask, is he suitable to be a monarch?
That's ten thousand unsuitable.
Especially not suitable to be the monarch of the Tang Dynasty.
China was divided for hundreds of years and finally unified.
But after reunification, only thirty-eight years later, it fell into division again.
At this moment, if someone as indecisive as Li Jiancheng comes out.
So will the Tang Dynasty still be prosperous in the future?
What the Tang Dynasty needs now is not benevolent government, let alone tyranny.
What the Tang Dynasty needs is a monarch who works hard to govern, rectify the internal and external affairs, and stabilize the world externally.
Obviously, the only person most suitable to become a monarch is Li Shimin.
Li Shimin gently rubbed Li Chengqian's head.
"If nothing else, your opinion is enough to see that you have The mind of an emperor."
"Father, what you said is wrong."
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly: "What I have is not a mind but a structure, but if you let me be the emperor, you will just wait for the Tang Dynasty to fall."
After hearing this, Li Shimin's mood, which was already getting better, suddenly became worse again.
Why is this guy so resistant to being an emperor?
Li Shimin shook his head, sighed, and asked: "Then let me ask you, tell me the truth."
"If you don't want to be emperor, what do you want to do?"
"Don't fool me with your nonsense about business again, or I'll beat you up."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian took a step back.
"To be honest, at first, I really wanted to go into business when I grew up."
"But later, my sister said something to me, and I felt that doing business seemed too boring."
"I feel especially sorry for my status as the eldest prince."
"So I don't know what I want to do now."
"Anyway, I'm only nine years old this year. Give me another two years to think about it, okay?"
Li Shimin rolled his eyes at him: "Is there anything wrong with being an emperor?"
"There's nothing wrong with being an emperor, it's just that you have to be aggrieved and depressed for the rest of your life."
"To be honest, father, I really don't like that kind of life."
"Otherwise, how about you make me the Xiaoyao King and I take my whole family to farm?"
Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance, Li Shimin became so angry that he kicked him.
Li Chengqian reacted quickly and quickly avoided, and then made a face at Li Shimin.
"Can't kick, can't kick, old man, come after me."
Immediately afterwards, he ran towards the camp in a hurry.
Seeing this guy's happy face, Li Shimin couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
But the depression in my heart has indeed been relieved a lot.
Li Shimin looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
