Li Shimin's eyes also fell on Li Chengqian's face again.
"Come with me to the Royal Garden for a walk!"
Li Chengqian nodded and followed Li Shimin's footsteps all the way to the back garden.
unconsciously.
Now it's time for the flowers to bloom.
The flowers in the back garden are in full bloom and the scenery is breathtaking.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said to Duke Zhou: "Please step aside first. I want to chat with the prince for a while."
"yes!"
"Old slave, please resign!"
Eunuch Zhou responded and stepped back.
After he left, only Li Shimin and Li Chengqian were left in the huge imperial garden.
Li Shimin looked straight at Li Chengqian.
Just when Li Chengqian was ready to be scolded or even kicked by him.
Li Shimin suddenly stretched out his hand towards Li Chengqian and said, "What are you looking at? Why don't you help me find a place to sit for a while?"
"ah?"
Li Chengqian obviously didn't react.
After being stunned for a moment.
He just helped Li Shimin and walked to the pavilion beside him to sit down.
Li Shimin beat his legs and sighed: "The recent accumulation of government affairs is as high as a mountain. It really makes me miserable."
Listen to his somewhat incomprehensible words.
Li Chengqian couldn't understand what he wanted to say.
He followed his words and said, "Father, I have to deal with all kinds of things every day. It's really hard work."
"I know I worked hard."
Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian and said, "Why don't you hurry up and come out of your gentle country to share my worries?"
"this……"
Li Chengqian scratched his head and said: "I am injured, please let me recover for a few more days..."
"Fuck you!"
"I see you are feeling very well now."
"On the day I was assassinated, I ran to Jinwu Guard and walked around."
"On the third day, I was running around, thinking of ways to escape guilt for the actor and your father-in-law." Li Shimin raised his head slightly and said, "You are good at everything, but your character is really worrying."
"Be a prince."
"You should behave like a prince."
"I will organize the Six Rates for you and pave the way for you."
"Could it be that you just took it out and looked at it?"
"You have so many people under you, yet you do everything yourself."
"Didn't you personally block their future?"
Li Chengqian pursed his lips and said nothing.
He had to admit that what Li Shimin said was right.
Sometimes, he does think too much and worry too much.
But he overlooked one thing, he is the prince.
If he does everything, those under him will lose the opportunity for promotion.
"I know you are filial."
"I also know that you don't want to break out because of your grandfather."
"I don't want to do anything to my own family."
"But, you have to understand one thing."
"Today's world is not the world of our family, let alone the world of your father alone."
"And since your father pushed you to the position of crown prince, you are no longer just yourself."
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian blankly and said, "Can you understand what I mean?"
"My son understands."
Li Chengqian nodded and said.
"hehe."
"You speak clearly."
"But I think you are very confused."
Li Shimin's eyes were deep and he said: "Whether it's Ke'er, Qingque, or even Yuanchang Yuanjing, these people are all your blood relatives."
"You want to protect them, no problem."
"If you want your family to always be in harmony, that's fine."
"But what I want to say is that the prerequisite for protecting them is that they are no longer a threat to the world."
"If there is, then you must use thunderous means to eliminate this threat in advance."
Li Shimin said in a loud voice: "Because this is your destiny, and it is also your responsibility as the prince and the heir apparent." ??
"My son and I all understand this."
"But……"
Li Chengqian gritted his teeth, but for a long time, he didn't say anything further.
certainly.
There is no need for him to explain this clearly.
I have been his father for so many years.
How could Li Shimin not understand what he was thinking?
"I know that you are essentially kind."
"I can't bear to kill my own bloodline."
"But I still say what I said, you start meditating and taking the position of the prince."
"How you do things cannot be dictated by your temper."
"What you want to see is not just one household, but the whole world."
Li Shimin stretched out his hand, patted Li Chengqian's shoulder and said: "The people are water, and the king is the boat. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."
"You said this when you were eight years old."
"I remember it until today."
"And for more than ten years, I have been doing things according to this principle."
"But I found that your boy has gradually forgotten this sentence..."
After hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Chengqian was not only stunned.
The struggle for power can blind a person's eyes and even influence a person's thinking.
It was only after Li Shimin said these words that Li Chengqian suddenly realized that he seemed to have really changed.
From the beginning, my heart was filled with thoughts about the common people, and now I am only thinking about the royal family.
"Son!"
"Dad never wanted you to make up for anything for him."
"Daddy, I don't want you to beg me to turn into daddy one day in the future." "Dad just hopes that you can be yourself and be yourself well."
"Let the dream of that ambitious young man who wanted everyone in the world to live a good life come true."
Li Shimin rubbed Li Chengqian's shoulders and said in a solemn tone: "You, you have gone astray. Look back and think about it."
After saying this.
Li Shimin stood up and walked straight towards the Ganlu Hall.
And this time.
Only Li Chengqian was left in the Imperial Garden.
Li Chengqian stared into the distance blankly, somewhat lost in thought.
Li Shimin's words made his heart turbulent.
He seems to have really changed.
The dreams I once had have completely disappeared.
In his mind, all that was left was rights.
The only way to prevent Li Shimin from doubting him is to protect himself.
As for the ideal of seeking peace and a stable life for the people of the world, he had no idea where he had thrown it.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Li Shimin's words awakened him.
And it also made him realize that he had really gone astray.
Li Chengqian looked up at the sky, his eyes full of indescribable excitement.
"Me in the past."
"Even I can barely remember what it was like..."
At this moment, Li Chengqian felt extremely complicated.
An unprecedented sense of depression filled his chest.
He wanted to pour it out, but he didn't know how. It felt so uncomfortable.
Li Chengqian covered his chest and clenched his teeth so tightly that his gums bled in a moment.
The smell of blood made his mind clear.
Li Chengqian's eyes also became firmer: "Father, you are wrong about one thing. My original intention has always been there, but I just changed the way I realize my dream..."
