Li Chengqian was shocked, left his seat and bowed: "My son, I have been taught, and I will obey my father's teachings!"
His Majesty Li Er looked kinder, looked at the prince with satisfaction, and said warmly: "You know your son better than your father. As a father, you naturally know that you are kind-hearted and tolerant. But as an emperor, you must never act based on your likes and dislikes. No matter when and where you are.
, the starting point of everything you do must be to put the interests of the empire above all else! The people around you will not be evaluated as a father, so you can figure out for yourself which ones are useful and which ones are not only useless but harmful. When it is time to be tough, be tough.
Even if the whole world is against you, you must be tough to the end! Even if you are wrong, you have to go all the way to the dark side and never look back when you hit the south wall. This is the quality that a qualified emperor should have. Otherwise, you will just follow what others say.
It can throw the entire empire into turmoil, so you have to deal with it yourself."
Although the emperor did not say the famous words, Li Chengqian understood the meaning.
The emperor is telling him that if you want to rebel against me, then go ahead and completely put aside life and death, success or failure, and never give up until you achieve your goal! In this way, no matter what the result is, I will be happy with it, because if your rebellion succeeds,
He will be a good emperor in the future!
On the contrary, if you hesitate and look forward and backward, even if you rebel, you will never be able to be an emperor in the future!
Just like when my brother threatened my family and life, I made a desperate move. No matter what the world said or what the history books recorded, I still had to fight back. Even if I killed my brother and my brother, I still had to break out of the bloody path!
To be an emperor, you must have strong self-confidence and firm will!
Li Chengqian was sweating profusely and trembling.
The father was satirizing his actions in Hou Junji's rebellion, and pointed out that he was well aware of Hou Junji's dynamics, but he did not dare to put all his efforts into it. Instead, he hid aside like an ostrich and gave up the initiative.
Even if the rebellion succeeds and Li Chengqian ascends to the throne of God as he wishes, he will be nothing more than a puppet in the hands of Hou Junji...
"Plop"
Li Chengqian knelt on the ground and said: "My son... I know the crime..."
He dare not deny it!
Just as His Majesty Li Er said, "No one knows his son better than his father." There is no one who knows his father better than his son! Li Chengqian naturally knows what kind of person his father is! When his father said this, he had already determined that he was in the role of Hou Jun.
If he quibbles and denies what he did during the conspiracy, he will definitely anger his father, and the consequences will be disastrous!
If we simply plead guilty and admit our mistakes, we can actually have a chance of improvement...
As expected, His Majesty Li Er sighed, looked at the eldest son in front of him with a complicated expression, and lamented: "The most ruthless imperial family... In the royal family, a loving father and a filial son are no longer the life state we pursue. How to grow this empire?"
, how to pass down the inheritance of our ancestors from generation to generation, so that our Li family can become the masters of the world from generation to generation, this is our responsibility! Being in the royal family, we have honor and glory, but we have also lost too much. This is how things are in the world.
, If you want to gain something, you have to lose something. While our family has gained the honor of the world, what we have lost is also the most precious thing in human nature..."
The hall fell silent, and the father and son were speechless.
His Majesty Li Er's heart was up and down, and he was no longer interested in talking, so he waved his hand and asked the prince to leave.
Li Chengqian silently kowtowed to his father, stood up and exited the hall.
The sun was shining brightly outside the hall, the spring rain for days had been swept away, and the air was soaked with moisture.
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes slightly and stood on the steps, with half of the Tai Chi Palace in full view.
gain, lose...
Maybe there is no need to choose. Everyone has only one thought when facing the throne. But just like my father, when he ascends to the throne and is ranked after the Ninth Five-Year Plan, when the night is quiet and everyone is quiet, will they all think deeply about it?
Which one is more important?
*****
There is a large pond in the back garden of Duke Wei's Mansion, planted with lotus flowers. The lotus flowers are not in bloom at this time, only the green leaves in the pond are like umbrellas, reflecting the quiet and green spring water. The pond is surrounded by green trees, and the pavilions are like canopies, swaying
The leaves cut up the bright spring light and poured it into an octagonal pavilion by the pool.
In the pavilion, an old man and a middle-aged man were sitting opposite each other, playing chess at the table.
The middle-aged man was tall and majestic. At this time, his eyebrows were condensed, and he was staring at the trend on the chessboard and racking his brains. However, he still lost everything. A big dragon was trapped tightly, and the situation was not good.
It was Su Dingfang.
The old man opposite had white eyebrows and white eyebrows, but his face was rosy.
Wearing a soft-footed futou on his head and a straight dress of light blue linen, he is tall and thin, with a carefree and contented expression, and a fairy-like demeanor.
Su Dingfang frowned and thought hard for a long time, and finally put the remaining pieces in his hand into the white jade chess basin aside, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "The last general is willing to admit defeat!"
Seeing that Su Dingfang was so crisp and agile, the old man said happily: "Playing chess is like fighting. Victory and defeat are common things for military strategists. A temporary defeat is not the end. Only by being able to learn lessons from failure, fight back, and win in defeat can we become a general."
The best quality of a person. If you can do this, you can be called a general."
Su Dingfang said casually: "Speaking of famous generals, how many people from ancient times to the present can be compared with Duke Wei?"
The old man shook his head and laughed.
That's right, this old man is the world-famous Duke Wei Li Jing!
In romance novels, Li Jing, who is known as one of the "Three Heroes of the Fengchen", is a god-like figure. If the Thirteen Heroes are the strongest in the world, then Li Jing is a strong man who transcends the world and is like the ultimate BOSS.
Existence. In real history, although Li Jing is not a god, he still lives up to the title of the strongest. Even throughout China's five thousand years of history, Li Jing is still one of the famous generals most qualified to receive the title of the strongest.
Throughout the ages, there have been only a few people who can be called "gods of war" such as Sun Wu, Bai Qi, Han Xin, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Li Jing.
However, if you observe carefully, you can find that among these ancient famous generals called "God of War", only one is perfect!
It is difficult to describe the vast majority of famous generals with perfection. They either have great achievements, make their masters jealous, and end up being suspicious and distrustful. Or they fail to succeed in some key battles because of their arrogant or conservative personalities, and their achievements are lower than that of other generals.
etc.; either he will be ruined because of his arrogance; or he will die young...
It always makes people sigh.
Among them, only Li Jing can be called "perfect"!
Throughout Li Jing's life, regardless of his strategies and tactics, personality, high integrity, knowing how to advance and retreat, and not participating in political disputes, he is obviously in contrast to other famous generals. Therefore, among almost all famous generals who can be called the "God of War"
, he had the best ending. Not only could he live to die at the age of seventy-nine, but he had always been treated favorably by the rulers Li Yuan and Li Shimin. Although he was jealous of Li Shimin in his later years, Li Jing decisively gave up all military power and lived in seclusion, which finally achieved good results.
This is a perfect person!
Su Dingfang hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Jing's face, and finally made up his mind and asked: "Mr. Wei, I have something to do at the end of the day. I have been struggling for a long time. Please ask Mr. Wei to clear up my confusion."
Li Jing raised his eyebrows and asked with slight surprise: "But someone wants to use Dingfang? That's a good thing! Dingfang, you are in your prime and full of strategies. If you hadn't been involved by me, you would have already made great achievements in the army and won the title of "Fang".
General Hou! Now is the time for the empire to recruit people. You must not be pedantic in judging my reputation and give up the hard-won opportunity. I have been on the battlefield all my life, and my success or failure has already been decided. It is not something that can be denied by anyone who wants to!
"
Even though the tiger has fallen in Pingyang, it still remains strong and has ambitions as high as the sky!
Su Dingfang was impressed and nodded: "I knew I couldn't hide it from Duke Wei. It was Fang Jun, the second son of the Prime Minister's family, who invited the general to serve in the Navy."
The reason why he was entangled in his heart was that he was afraid that the outside world would use his going to the navy as a raft to attack Duke Wei. As the closest general to Duke Wei, if he abandoned Duke Wei and turned to someone else to find another career for the sake of merit, what would happen to Duke Wei?
The blow must be huge.
This is something Su Dingfang would rather die than see...
However, Li Jing's words immediately enlightened him.
As Li Jing said, during his lifetime, he captured Fu Gong and pacified the south of the Yangtze River; three thousand elite cavalry rushed to attack Dingxiang with hundreds of thousands of troops, breaking through the Turkic tents; and then led another ten thousand elite cavalry to attack the Yinshan Mountains and capture Jie Li alive.
Ke Han, destroyed the Eastern Turks; Jishi Mountain defeated Tuguhun, killed Tuguhun Khan Fuyun, and all his territory returned to the Tang Dynasty!
With such great achievements, not to mention looking at the contemporary era, even in the history, how many people can match it?
