Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 872
Yongning Hall.

"Aniang, the child is incompetent." Li Chenglie knelt in front of Wei Gui, bowed his head and said lonely.

In fact, during this period of time, not only Li Chengzhao studied with the emperor, but An Wang and others were often called by the emperor to teach in the Temple of Manna.

Wei Gui looked at his grown son with disappointment in his eyes, but he didn't criticize him in the end.She is actually very clear that if she wants to become a prince, it all depends on whether her son can get the approval of His Majesty the Emperor.Looking at it now, it is obvious that his son is not as good as King Qi.

"Get up and talk."

"Yes." Li Chenglie sat down on his knees.

Wei Gui smiled and said: "Since this matter has passed, there is no need to mention it in the future, and you should not think about it again in the future. From today on, you should study hard and do what your father asked you to do." What, if your father doesn’t let you do something, you don’t do it. Remember, saints don’t like sibling rivalry the most. Now that your status has been determined, just forget about it.”

"Yes, my son will keep it in mind." After Li Chenglie finished speaking, he added: "Mother and concubine, it's not that my son doesn't work hard, but that my father's requirements are too strict. Earlier, my son and my mother talked about my father's problems. The concubine also knows. The father is an immortal saint, and the child is stupid, unable to meet the requirements of the father, and to live up to the painstaking efforts of the mother and concubine, the child is incompetent."

How could he not be interested in the position of prince, but he really doesn't have that ability.He also knows that King Qi often visits the people, and he has also studied it, but he really doesn't understand that the Tang Dynasty is already in its prime, so why should the people be concerned.It's better to practice the art of war and expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty in the future.

Of course, he dared not say such things to his mother.

Wei Gui looked at his downcast son, and comforted him, "Everyone has his own destiny. All of this is God's will and holy will. You don't have to worry about it."

When the crown prince was not confirmed, she kept thinking about fighting for it. Now that the crown prince has been confirmed, she is relieved.

"The boy knows."

Wei Gui continued, "Let's stay and have dinner today."

"Yes."

The position of the prince was established, and although the women in the harem had their own ideas, they did not cause any trouble.Basically, they all know that with the strength of the sage, who will be the crown prince is entirely up to the sage to decide.If you can't compete, you can't compete. If you do other small moves, you will just make trouble for yourself.

Changle Hall.

"The son and minister pay homage to the queen mother." Li Chengzhao bowed to Empress Yang in a new suit.

Empress Yang was full of joy, and hurriedly said: "My son, please get up quickly."

"Thank you mother."

After Li Chengzhao sat down, Empress Yang asked, "Shall I go to thank you first?"

"I've gone, my father encouraged my ministers to continue to work hard." Li Chengzhao smiled.He has always had a good relationship with his father since he was a child, so no other younger brothers who were born later have the same relationship with their father.Moreover, with the education of Empress Yang and Jin Yang, he reminded him that he deeply understands the difficulty of his father.Therefore, I have always respected and loved my father.Because of this, there is no barrier between him and his father. Although father and son have status as monarchs and ministers, there is more love between father and son.

Empress Yang nodded and said in relief, "You have finally become a prince."

"Yes, the son did not disappoint the queen mother."

Empress Yang changed her voice, "Do you understand, your responsibility?"

Li Chengzhao's face suddenly became solemn, "I didn't understand it before, but now, I have understood it. The teaching of the father and the emperor has made me understand. In this world, the people are the foundation. If the people are uneasy, the society will be uneasy. This Above the court, there are many aristocratic families with intertwined roots and conflicts of interests. If we want to make our Tang Dynasty prosperous and long-lasting, we must cut off the aristocratic families. The Weihe Workshop is an important place for the country, and the craftsmen are ingenious. It can also benefit the people. As the prince, at that time Introspect yourself, be vigilant at all times, don’t get carried away, and don’t be arrogant. Whatever you do, you must think twice before acting.

After listening to her son's words, Empress Yang nodded and said, "What you said is very good, no matter what it is, you are very insightful, but I have to remind you one more thing."

"Ask your mother to teach you."

Empress Yang said: "Remember, you are the son of His Majesty, you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, no matter what you do, you must take the country as the top priority. You are the prince of the Li family, and it is you who you want to protect. Father, what you want to protect is the Tang Dynasty. No matter what time it is, you must not trust the family. You know the defeat of the former Sui Dynasty, and you also understand the disaster of the family. I will not talk about it as a mother. Finally , you must always remember that you are the son of a sage, you can do whatever the sage asks you to do, and if the sage doesn’t let you do it, you won’t be allowed to see it.”

"Yes, my son, please remember." Li Chengzhao replied solemnly.

In fact, Li Chengzhao knew it well without Queen Yang saying so.His innate wisdom has already made him understand how difficult it is for his father to maintain such a huge empire, and how hard it is for his father to suppress the family.

During these days, Li Chengzhao studied with the emperor, his mind was full of the emperor's thoughts, and he had already regarded his father's words as the truth.

"Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince." A voice came from outside, and Jin Yang walked into the hall with a smile, and saluted Queen Yang.

"Sister." Li Chengzhao cupped his hands.

"Sit down." Queen Yang said happily.

Li Chengzhao said: "Sister, don't make fun of my younger brother. The position of crown prince is not easy. During this period of time, I studied government affairs with my father and visited the people, and I deeply understand the burden on me. In the past, the way of sages and sages was to rule the world by enlightenment, but But I can’t generalize. There are still too many things I lack.”

Jin Yang nodded, and said: "You can think this way, which is enough to prove that you really put your heart into learning from your father. Knowing the shortcomings, you can improve your own shortcomings."

"Yes." Li Chengzhao paid great attention to sister's words.He has always felt that if sister is a man, he might not be able to catch up with her.

Seeing this scene, Empress Yang was very happy.

"My son will be a prince in the future, so don't forget your true heart."

"My child remembers."

Ganlu Temple.

Li Zhiyun didn't deal with the memorial today, but went to the corridor and quietly looked at the majestic palace complex.

It was his deliberate decision to appoint Chengzhao as the crown prince, and he had no other thoughts.What's more, he has his own considerations for doing so.First, the child has a sense of understanding, and he can quickly understand what was taught to him, and he is willing to do it to understand the truth.Second, Chengzhao is the son of the legitimate son, and it is in line with the etiquette to appoint him as the prince, and there will be no opportunities for other sons in the future.Third, Li Zhiyun has the confidence to instill his own ideas into the child, let him uphold his own ideas, and take better care of Jiangshan Sheji after he leaves.

Of course, the most important thing is that he can't continue to delay.The sons are all growing up. Although there is no sign of seizing the heir, but he has more than a dozen sons. After a long time, it is inevitable that other sons will not have thoughts.

As a father, he didn't want to see that scene.

The lesson given to him by the first emperor is still vivid in his memory, how could he not take it as a warning.What's more, the first emperor wanted to balance the abolition of the crown prince and King Qin to ensure his own status.Li Zhiyun, on the other hand, has no troubles in this regard. It is no exaggeration to say that both the army and the court are under his absolute control.

It is no longer the time when Datang was first established.

In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, his authority as a saint emperor was unmatched by anyone.
