His Majesty Li Er looked at the crying prince in front of him, his heart softened and he sighed quietly.
They are all sons born to him and Queen Wende, and they are connected by blood. How could he be willing to deprive his eldest son of the throne that originally belonged to his eldest son unless he had to? Even though Pheasant Nu has repeatedly promised to treat his brother well, once he loses his position as crown prince, he will
This means that it will become a serious problem for the new emperor in the future.
The emperor claims to be rich all over the world and the most powerful in the world, but he still has restrictions on everything and cannot do everything as he wants. Although the pheasant slave has no intention of harming his brother, but when he succeeds to the throne in the future, how can his followers let go of the former prince and let him threaten the throne?
Woolen cloth?
Will the pheasant slave keep the promise he made to himself today, or will he just go with the flow and let his followers eliminate all hidden dangers that endanger the imperial power?
His Majesty Li Er is not sure.
After all, he has experienced the moment when the imperial power can crush all benevolence, morality, blood and family ties...
Suddenly, I felt that my approach might be too harsh on the prince, or even unfair. There were indeed many things about the prince that dissatisfied me, but after all, God's will, who made him his eldest son?
All of this was destined when he was born, but he still wanted to be picky. How could it ever be fair to the prince?
Even if the prince is allowed to choose, he may not be willing to be the prince...
Perhaps, I should have obeyed the will of God, and God treated me well. Is it possible that the prince would be able to become a qualified emperor in the future?
Is it better than forcibly exchanging money for storage and ultimately causing the sons to kill each other and the brothers to fight against each other...
But even if Yi Chu's thoughts are completely dismissed, he still has to wait until after the Eastern Expedition to make long-term plans. After all, he has now pushed King Jin to the forefront and rashly changed his mind. What does King Jin think? What do the nobles of Guanlong behind King Jin think?
His Majesty Li Er finally realized that his pursuit of the perfect prince, even to the point of deposing the prince, was perhaps a huge mistake fundamentally...
…
Do you really think you are old?
His Majesty Li Er's heart was filled with ups and downs. Looking at the obedient and well-behaved sons in front of him, he was filled with sadness for a moment.
Princess Jinyang next to him was rubbing his shoulders. He looked at his sons and said warmly: "Famous and wealthy people in the world, imperial power and wealth, are the most touching things and disturb people's morals. You are born in an emperor's family, but don't want to be
Blinded by the interests of the imperial power, we must maintain the heart of a sage, remember the brotherhood, pass on moral articles, and work hand in hand to pass on our father's legacy. Not only for the wealth and power of our Li and Tang royal family for generations to come, but also for
For the peace and well-being of hundreds of millions of people in this world."
All the princes quickly knelt down and bowed, and they all agreed.
His Majesty Li Er did not say any more, but waved his hand and asked his sons to leave the palace.
His life experience can be described as rich and colorful, but there are also countless regrets and regrets. Among them, the nightmare left behind by the "Xuanwu Sect" back then is like a bone spur deep into his heart, and he is always in pain.
They say they have no choice, but is that really the case?
If he had no ambition at all from the beginning, and had never coveted the throne in the slightest, why would he continue to win over people and grow stronger in the process of conquering the world, until eventually Prince Li Jiancheng regarded him as a serious problem and was eager to get rid of him?
?
With his mental strategy, he knew from the beginning that he was actually on a road of no return. The bloody and severing battle under the Xuanwu Sect was the destination that he had already subconsciously determined.
It’s just that humans are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless?
At that time, he watched Prince Li Jiancheng and Qi King Li Yuanji die in front of him, and even had their heads cut off to send a message to Chang'an, which made the entire East Palace army collapse and surrender. How could he remain indifferent to all this?
Every time he dreamed back at midnight, he dreamed of Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qi Li Yuanji covered in blood. How could he calm down and convince himself that he had no choice but to do it?
Everything is just self-deception.
But now, it seems that he has single-handedly pushed King Jin to the position he was in back then, and everything will happen again to King Jin and the prince...
After rubbing his forehead, His Majesty Li Er patted Princess Jinyang's hand and said softly: "Make a new pot of tea for my father."
"Here."
Seeing that His Majesty Li Er's face was very ugly, Princess Jin quickly made another pot of tea, poured a cup and placed it in His Majesty Li Er's hand. Then she snuggled up to His Majesty Li Er obediently and asked with concern: "Father,
Is the emperor feeling uncomfortable?"
His Majesty Li Er hummed, took a sip of tea, and then let out a long sigh and sighed: "My father seems to have done something wrong."
"What is it?" Princess Jinyang asked curiously.
His Majesty Li Er shook his head and refused to elaborate. He turned his head and looked at his daughter's beautiful face, which was like a flower. He felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter. Since you have realized your mistake, after the Eastern Expedition, you will naturally have enough
I will take the time to correct it, so my son does not need to worry."
Princess Jinyang's slender eyebrows slightly frowned. She was a little dissatisfied with His Majesty Li Er's untrue tone, but she couldn't ask further questions. She just snorted and said: "Liaodong is bitterly cold and the mountains are high and the rivers are far away. You must bring more with you."
It’s better to have an imperial doctor by your side. Otherwise, if someone has a headache and a fever that is too late to be cured, wouldn’t it make the children and ministers of the court worried? How about your father issued an imperial edict to recruit Taoist Sun to accompany the army to Liaodong?
Only by staying with the emperor can we ensure nothing goes wrong."
His Majesty Li Er smiled happily, shook his head and said: "Master Sun has entered Taoism through medicine. He is a master of Taoism. How can he be restricted by imperial edicts? Besides, the imperial doctors in the palace are not three-year-old boys. They all have family backgrounds and medical skills.
Gao Chao, it’s enough to have them following along to deal with some unexpected situations.”
Originally, Sun Simiao's medical skills were well-known all over the world, and his status was extremely high. Now that he has developed a prescription to cure malaria, his reputation has reached a higher level. He is already known as the "God of Medicine", and people all over the world regard him as a "living god".
.
How can such a person be bound by an imperial edict?
How can it be bound by an imperial edict?
If this imperial edict is promulgated, I am afraid it will attract a lot of criticism...
Princess Jinyang bit her lips and gave a muffled "Yeah". Although she was young, she was smart and smart. Of course she understood the truth, but when she thought about her father having to travel through mountains and rivers to work on an expedition, she couldn't let go of her worries.
.
Seeing the worried look on his daughter's face, His Majesty Li Er was greatly relieved, this is my little cotton-padded jacket, much better than those brats who have their own hidden agendas...
Ruling his daughter's hair dotingly, His Majesty Li Er smiled and said: "My father was fighting everywhere in the past, and I have experienced countless moments of fighting for supremacy on the battlefield. Goguryeo, for its part, is naturally invincible at the fingertips of the soldiers! Si Zi, there is no need to worry.
Before winter comes, my father will be able to return home victorious and lead his troops back to the court."
Princess Jinyang tilted her head, somewhat dissatisfied: "Father, my daughter is no longer a child. Don't touch her head like this."
His Majesty Li Er grinned happily: "Hey! Sizi has grown up? That's great. He has reached the age of marriage. When his father returns to the court in victory, he will find a match for Sizi."
Princess Jinyang was speechless. She didn't know why she suddenly brought the topic to this matter.
Getting married is now the thing she is most afraid of mentioning...
Princess Changle, Concubine Yang, Concubine Wei, Concubine Xu and others next to her saw the embarrassment on the face of the eloquent Princess Jinyang, and they couldn't help but laugh.
Princess Jinyang was anxious and said: "Um...Father, although my daughter has grown up, as Taoist Sun has already said, her body and bones are still much weaker. As for getting married, it is better to slow down.
Ha ha."
Concubine Yang said at the side: "But it was already a year ago when I mentioned this. Now, Sizi, you are taking good care of yourself. Your face is rosy and clear, which shows that you are in good health. This marriage is a very important matter.
, how can we put it off again and again? Let me tell you, it’s better to make a decision while His Majesty’s personal expedition is imminent, so that His Majesty can put aside his worries and concentrate on the expedition.”
Princess Jinyang was startled. Seeing her father's expression of "it should be so", she quickly got up and went to Concubine Yang, shook her shoulders and said coquettishly: "How can the empress be so careless? Since getting married is such a big deal.
, you must carefully choose a good family, how can your father be so relieved to marry me off in such a hurry?"
"Hey, your highness, please stop shaking, I'm feeling dizzy..."
