Chapter 2162 Do not seek the foundation of the world
Li Xingchen nodded with satisfaction, and then asked seriously, "My son, as a king, what should you do?"
Li Canghai was startled for a moment.
This...it seems that he was not told the answer, nor was he told that his father would ask him at this time.
What should you do as a monarch?
This is really a very broad question.
Li Canghai didn't even remember his former Taifu Xu Ling telling him this, let alone the other gentlemen who taught various subjects.
Seeing that Li Canghai was confused for a moment, Li Xingchen said calmly: "Think about it slowly."
The people under the altar looked at the strange father and son standing on the altar. Although they didn't know what happened, no one dared to step forward to interrupt.
On the altar, Li Xingchen just looked straight at his son, waiting for his answer.
Li Canghai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "My son, I should inherit my father's ambition and work hard for the foundation of our Han Dynasty for eternity."
Li Xingchen smiled: "Not bad."
Only then did Li Canghai look relaxed.
I was really scared to death just now, who knew the answer was really so simple.
If this answer were asked to Li Canghai in another place and time, he would definitely be able to answer it faster or even more accurately. However, because he really didn’t know what Father meant today, he hesitated for a long time and found that he was right.
I couldn't think of any other answer, so I had to bite the bullet and say this.
Fighting for the foundation of the Han Dynasty for all eternity, this is the idea that Li Canghai has been instilled by Lechang and others since he was a child, so he is unswerving. As the prince of the Han Dynasty and the future emperor, this kind of responsibility is innate, and he is willing to sacrifice it.
Who am I?
However, to Li Canghai's surprise, Li Xingchen changed the subject and continued: "But your Majesty, you must remember that the foundation of everything is important, but there is something more important than our Li family passing down the inheritance for thousands of generations."
.”
"This..." Li Canghai didn't know how to answer his father for a moment.
Li Xingchen raised his head and looked around: "Look at the sky, the vast mountains and the endless wilderness. Under the sky, there are lands and oceans that we may not be able to conquer in our lifetime, and under this sky
Underneath, there are also countless common people. Our China, our Han Dynasty, is just one of these countless people and countless countries, and sometimes it is not even the most powerful one. So what you have to do is more
What is more important is to lead the country to overcome obstacles and move forward. Remember, never limit your sights to Kyushu, and never limit your sights to one household."
Li Canghai was stunned.
He had never heard anyone say these words that Li Xingchen said before.
But think about it, who has the guts to tell the eldest son of the current emperor that you can’t fight for the stability and inheritance of the Li family’s throne in the future, but you should fight for the future of this country and this nation, even if the price you pay may be
It was the Li family that lost its original power.
Except for Li Cangchen, no one in the world has the qualifications and courage to say this to Li Canghai. What is the difference between this and rebellion?
"My son, you must remember not to be demanding about the eternal inheritance, but to be kind to the country and the people. Only in this way can you really have the eternal inheritance. And what if you don't have the eternal inheritance? As a monarch,
But it is enough to be worthy of this world and all the people. In this way, no matter whose royal flag changes on the city wall in future generations, the people will always miss you in their hearts." Li Xingchen said immediately.
Li Canghai seemed to understand, but just nodded.
Li Xingchen smiled.
It seems that he shouldn't tell Li Canghai this so early. After all, this child has just started on the road of determined to work hard and become a wise monarch. He may not be able to understand these things.
But Li Xingchen believes that one day, he will understand.
I hope I can live to see that day.
But Li Canghai thought of something, and whispered at this moment: "Father, what you mean is...this country is not owned by the king, but the king should be owned by the country?"
Li Xinchen's original intention to turn around was paused. He turned his head to look at Li Canghai, his eyes couldn't help but shine with light. The light disappeared in a flash, but the joy and relief on Li Xinchen's face could not be concealed. He couldn't help but raise his head.
laughing out loud:
"Hahahaha, well said, well said!"
Li Canghai scratched his head in embarrassment: "But the child still doesn't understand..."
This person is appointed to the country, not the country to the king. This simply subverts Li Canghai's previous understanding of the concepts of a country, a monarch, etc.
However, Li Xingchen didn't seem to intend to continue to explain this problem to him. He just smiled and said: "You will understand in the future."
Li Canghai opened his mouth, but could only respond.
"Let's go!" Li Xingchen led him towards the outside of the altar.
The expressions of everyone under the altar are naturally different.
Although they don't know what His Majesty and the eldest son said - standing behind His Majesty, Yuan Dashe should be the only one who heard the content. At this time, his eyes are looking at his nose and his nose is looking at his mouth. You can just think that the old slave is a deaf mute.
With a confused expression, no one expected to get any news from him.
This old eunuch must have heard something, but telling him what he heard may directly affect his life and safety, so he would not tell it even if he was beaten to death.
But no matter what the exchange between father and son was, Li Xingchen's laughter just now has undoubtedly told everyone that His Majesty admires and likes his eldest son, who is also the current prince, very much, and he must have understood something for himself.
He even directly conveyed the idea of grabbing people's hearts to Li Canghai.
If the king loses his secrets, the country will lose. Each king has his own secrets and his own methods. This is not understandable to outsiders. Of course, everyone does not dare to make random inquiries and guesses. Anyway, you only need to know the result.
Li Xinchen and Li Canghai stood at the steps of the altar.
"Kowtow to your majesty, long live your majesty!"
"Kowtow to the prince, the prince is a thousand years old!"
For a time, all the ministers and people prostrated themselves to show respect to their majesty and the future emperor of the Han Dynasty.
In any case, starting from today, the Han Dynasty also has its own prince, and also has its own inheritance.
————————————-
After the crown prince is conferred, it will be relatively simple to discuss merits and rewards.
After all, many meritorious titles have been discussed long ago, and some of them were even promised after the first round of the Northern Expedition, that is, after the Han army captured Luoyang, but they have only been awarded together today.
As expected, Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian were granted the title of Duke of the same state, one was the Duke of Jin and the other was the Duke of Liang. The title of Duke of Jin was naturally because Pei's county was in the hometown of Jin, and the title of Duke of Liang was naturally because the Xiao family had established Nanliang.
