That would be as close as taking off Emperor Sui Yang's underwear.
And he didn't look down on Emperor Sui Yang, he was just discussing the matter.
There were many reasons for the demise of the Sui Dynasty, and measures against the nobility were only one of them.
Therefore, Li Shimin said that if the Tang Dynasty targeted the nobility, it would follow in the footsteps of the Sui Dynasty, which is completely alarmist.
And heard what Li Chengqian said.
Li Shimin also understood how firm Li Chengqian was in legislating for the nobility.
But Li Shimin still hesitated.
He pursed his lips, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Can we do this again next year?"
Because next year, he will give up his current position to Li Chengqian.
At that time, Li Chengqian can do whatever he wants.
He no longer needs to look at the faces of his old brothers, nor does he need to suffer from his own condemned conscience.
But Li Chengqian shook his head.
"Father."
"I know what you think."
"I also know that you are reluctant to do anything to your old brothers."
"But I hope that my father will understand that not all of your old brothers are worthy of you treating them like this."
Li Chengqian spread his hands and said: "If all the nobles in the world were like Uncle Cheng, like uncles, I would only wish to make them rich."
"But that's not the case."
"Most nobles are like Zhang Liang and Yin Yuan."
"They don't think about how much the royal family has given them. They only look at how much others have received and how much less they have received."
"So, Father, please don't be confused again."
"This matter cannot be delayed any longer. It must be done immediately."
"Otherwise, by next year, we don't know how many people will be harmed."
"How many merchants had complaints against the imperial court because they were tortured by the nobles."
Li Chengqian faced Li Shimin and cupped his hands and said: "And these people, It can only be handled by the Emperor Father, which will make it fair and show that the Emperor Father has always put the people first."
indeed.
Li Chengqian can wait until Li Shimin abdicates, and then let him be the bad guy.
While preserving Li Shimin's reputation, he also established his prestige.
But the cause of this incident was Li Shimin and Li Yuan, the two founding emperors.
Li Yuan has abdicated, so there is nothing wrong with him not speaking.
But Li Shimin was the reigning emperor.
If he is unwilling to stand up, how can he quell public anger?
So how can we make the people believe that the imperial court is not a secret promise of these nobles to harm the people?
And saw Li Chengqian's firm eyes.
Li Shimin's expression also began to look painful.
"You kid, can't you just let me have some peace and quiet?"
"Do you have to cause me all these troubles every day so that I can't live a peaceful life?"
Li Shimin also had nothing to say.
Why didn't his son let her worry so much?
And he has clearly promised that as long as he waits until next year, he will sit on the throne of God.
At that time, if he can't do what he wants, why must he force himself?
Although he has done things like the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
But it is undeniable that he values love and justice.
As an emperor who has never harmed his heroes.
His journey has not been easy.
The changes in the Xuanwu Sect a long time ago were the pain of his life.
If you look carefully, you can know how helpless he was at that time.
The situation he faced at that time was to either lead his brothers to rise up and overthrow Li Jiancheng.
Or just watch helplessly as everyone walks by with his wind and firepower
Brothers were killed one after another.
Including his own wife and children.
In the end, Li Shimin chose the latter.
But if you ask him if it hurts or regrets it, his answer is yes.
If this were not the case, with Li Shimin's achievements, he could definitely imitate Qin Shihuang, enshrine Mount Tai, and become the emperor of the ages.
But he didn't.
He believed that he was ashamed of his gods and his ancestors.
So when the courtiers suggested that he be granted the title of Zen or Mount Tai, he flatly refused.
And this can be done to a person who regards himself as a life and death enemy.
He was even more reluctant to deal with his brothers.
He hopes that all those who have sold their lives for him can live a good life and have wives and children.
but.
Li Chengqian refused to let him go.
Li Shimin also shook his head and smiled bitterly at this moment.
And just when Li Shimin was in an extremely complicated mood.
Empress Changsun put her hand on the back of his hand and looked at him tenderly.
Li Shimin looked at her, and the complicated feelings in his heart disappeared in an instant.
He pursed his lips and said, "If you have an idea in your mind, then do it according to your wishes."
"But there is one thing I have to tell you in advance."
"Everything they did before the law was given will be wiped out."
"Otherwise, I would never nod!"
This is the biggest concession Li Shimin can make.
That is to ask Li Chengqian not to trace their previous guilt.
And Li Chengqian also knew that this was Li Shimin's bottom line, so he didn't force it too hard.
"Thank you very much, Father, for being considerate of the people and your children..."
Li Chengqian bowed to the ground, then raised his head and said: "Tomorrow morning, I will raise this matter in the court."
"Um."
Li Shimin nodded. , waved his hand and said: "You go down first."
"yes!"
Li Chengqian bowed and saluted, then winked at the two women behind him.
Then, the family of three slowly walked out of Kunning Palace.
And watching their leaving figures.
Li Shimin also sighed helplessly, gently caressed the back of Queen Changsun's hand, and said: "This kid, the older he gets, the less troublesome he is..."
"Didn't you do the same thing before?"
Empress Changsun smiled slightly and put her hand on the back of Li Shimin's hand.
"As for the noble matter."
"The momentum Qian'er said is not wrong."
"This has indeed always been a sticking point for the court."
Empress Changsun said with a faint look: "There are indeed more nobles in the Tang Dynasty than in the previous dynasties."
"you!"
Li Shimin said with some dissatisfaction: "You are really connected as mother and son, and your ideas are surprisingly consistent..."
"This is not a heart-to-heart relationship between mother and son."
"This is the truth, it's the great truth."
Empress Changsun said with a smile: "Furthermore, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. When my son is older, he will have his own ideas. We old people should not get involved."
"And you've done enough for him now."
"He is not the child who needed you to protect him at all times."
"Let him walk the rest of the way by himself."
Empress Changsun said in a gentle voice: "We just need to watch and see how grand our son can govern this world..."
Li Chengqian is her eldest son and also her favorite son.
She also believes that her training direction is correct and believes that Li Chengqian will definitely become a contemporary master.
And after hearing what Empress Changsun said.
Li Shimin let out a long breath: "Maybe you are right, maybe it's time for me to let go, and let him walk the rest of the way..."
