Even Changsun Chong and Cheng Huailiang could not calm down for a long time.
When I first heard that song, I just felt it was sonorous and powerful, and the lyrics were inspiring.
But when I listened to it for the second time, I could feel thousands of troops rushing past me.
When you listen to it for the third time, you can see those brothers and sisters who have left their homes to guard the frontier.
Later, when Li Chengqian talked to everyone about national pride and national honor, everyone listened carefully.
Some people even slowed down their breathing just to hear every word Li Chengqian said clearly.
But Li Chengqian was not so happy.
He was lying on the soft couch, looking a little lonely.
Seeing this, Changsun Chong couldn't help but ask: "I wonder why you are so melancholy, Your Highness?"
Hearing his call, Li Chengqian, who had been wandering in a daze, finally came back to his senses.
"It's nothing, I just can't think about it..."
Li Chengqian sighed slightly.
"Your Highness, why can't you think about it?"
"I told you, but you don't understand."
Li Chengqian shook his head and smiled bitterly, smiling lonely.
In the end, he just raised his head and said: "You should go back first, I want to be alone for a while."
"good."
Changsun Chong nodded, turned around and left the room without further questioning.
After he left.
Li Chengqian was the only one left in the room.
He looked up to the sky and sighed: "After all, I have become the person I despise the most..."
He didn't want to change this era, but he was still forced to change it.
He didn't want to get involved in the power struggle, but he still entered the power circle.
He didn't want to do anything, but in the end, he did every one of the things he didn't want to do.
Li Chengqian shook his head and smiled bitterly. Perhaps the only thing he didn't want to do now and didn't do it was to be the prince.
But this was not what he meant, it was just that Li Shimin did not give the order.
If one day Li Shimin issued an order, he might not be able to refuse at all.
But there is nothing we can do. >
With such a fate, you can't go against the will, right?
…
On the second day, Li Chengqian went to the military camp as usual, taught everyone how to sing, and told everyone stories.
The same is true on the third day, and the same is true on the fourth day.
Wait until the later Spring Festival.
Li Chengqian went to the military camp to have a meal with the soldiers of Qianziying before entering the palace to reunite with Queen Changsun and Li Shimin.
This also allowed Li Shimin to see his unusual side.
After dinner, Li Shimin couldn't help but want to praise him.
"I heard that these days, you go to the military camp every day to talk to the soldiers?"
Li Chengqian nodded: "Yes."
"After all, there are many new people in Qianzi camp, and I want to get to know them."
"At the same time, it only occurred to me recently that if we want the nationality theory to be implemented, we need something very important."
"what?"
Hearing that it was related to the theory of nationality, Li Shimin immediately became interested.
"A sense of national pride, a sense of national honor and, for immigrants, a sense of belonging."
Facing Li Shimin, Li Chengqian was completely able to be honest and honest.
"I don't have the authority to do it elsewhere, so I can only test it in Qianzi Camp first."
"oh?"
"Then what was the result of your experiment?"
Li Shimin was a little curious.
"very nice."
"Those old Turkic people have found a sense of belonging."
"The new recruits in the army also know why they fought and why they died."
Li Chengqian said it seriously.
Li Shimin also listened carefully.
After listening, he put his hands on his hands and smiled: "This time, I really have to praise you."
"You did a great job, far exceeding my expectations and dad's expectations."
I represent the emperor.
Dad, represents father.
As the emperor, he must supervise Li Chengqian to engage in government affairs, know how to serve the country, be loyal to the country, and benefit the people.
As a father, while he didn't want Li Chengqian to work too hard, he also looked forward to the day when Li Chengqian would become a talented person.
But whether it is the emperor or his father.
His love for Li Chengqian will always be like that.
Just like it is for aristocratic families and Buddhists.
On the surface he did nothing, but secretly no one knew how much he did.
The reason is nothing more than the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
Li Shimin would not let his son make the same mistake again.
Let alone make the Li family the laughingstock of the world.
Since ancient times, it has been a rule that the eldest son inherits the family business.
However, due to various reasons, he himself killed his brother and forced his father to take the throne.
Not to mention what others think of him.
He himself can't even pass this test.
If not, he wouldn't be bent on cultivating Li Chengqian into a talented person.
Not to mention that he has been using all means to make Li Chengqian the crown prince.
Li Shimin's simple idea was to let his eldest son take the throne.
I just want the public to stop all kinds of abuses against the Li and Tang royal family.
Therefore, Li Chengqian is his bottom line.
You can do whatever you want, but if you want to use Li Chengqian to talk about things.
Then you have to test whether the knife in Li Shimin's hand is sharp enough.
When Li Shimin praised himself, Li Chengqian couldn't help but laugh.
It's not the same silly smile that hides oneself like before.
This time, he smiled sincerely.
Because he knew that Li Shimin really began to recognize himself.
Li Chengqian pursed his lips and said, "Before, I thought that since we are born as human beings, we should have our own will."
"As long as you live, you should do whatever you want."
"Later, I realized that this idea was really naive. "
"Nine out of ten things in the world are unhappy, but there are so many things that you want to do and don't want to do."
"As a son, you must be filial to your parents, and as a father, you must take care of your children."
"As a commoner, you have to think about your family, and as a prince, you have to think about the world."
"But in the end, it seems that serving the country and the people is the real big deal."
Hearing these words, Li Shimin nodded repeatedly.
"You are right. As long as it is good for the country and the people, everything is right."
"Take the Buddhism you are targeting as an example."
"I may not have been so deeply aware of the harm they caused."
"But now, I really understand your thoughts."
Li Shimin looked up and sighed: "What are corrupt officials? What are the great families?"
"What can they change?"
"They can't change anything, and sooner or later they will be trampled by the torrent of history."
"The real worms are these people who can plant deep-rooted thoughts in the hearts of the people. They are the biggest worms in the country."
"Occupy the productive forces, cultivate the land, pay no taxes, and confuse the people with things about gods and demons."
"Buddha accounts for seventy-eight of the world's tenth wealth."
"If they go too far, what will Datang do?"
"What will we, the people of the Tang Dynasty, do?"
“Without money, we cannot benefit the country, let alone the people.”
"What's more, while they occupy money, they also occupy a large number of young adults."
"Without young adults, there are no soldiers, and without soldiers, there is no army."
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Actually, it's not that I, the father, don't understand what you think."
"It's just that sometimes, I really can't figure it out all at once."
"You have to know that not everyone in this world is as smart as you."
"Even if I were the emperor, this would not be an exception. After all, you are the one who is better than others..."
