This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 317 Volume Four Li Er is helpless, Li Yuan is vicious.

As for how it is different, Li Er is very clear.

The royal court of the Ming Dynasty is Li Chengqian's voice, which is the confidence of the founding monarch.

But Datang is not what he says, he can't do it, this is his helplessness.

He didn't really want to send troops to Goguryeo for this banquet, but it was just to send such a signal.

Tell everyone his attitude and thoughts, and when it is really necessary to send troops to Goguryeo, everyone will not feel so abrupt.

But one thing is certain, that is, Li Er will definitely mobilize troops this year.

Li Chengqian did create unprecedented pressure on him.

I'm still alive, do you just want to make your master stronger than your ancestors?

Besides, there is another problem.

That is, the officials of Datang were too tolerant of Li Chengqian.

It might not be easy to understand, but to put it another way, if the Ming court was created by another prince, then the ministers would definitely not have the current attitude.

The reason is simple, if the king of the Ming court is someone else, it may not be a good thing for the future Tang Dynasty.

When it really came to the time when Li Erlongyu passed away, the battle for the throne would probably be more terrifying than the Xuanwumen incident back then.

Even Datang is in danger of falling apart.

But this person is Li Chengqian, so it's different.

After all, Li Chengqian is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the orthodox of the Tang Dynasty, and the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

That being the case, what is the difference between the Ming court and the Tang Dynasty?

Regardless of how powerful the current Daming royal court is, it will eventually become a part of the Great Tang.

As long as the future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is Li Chengqian.

Moreover, the most important thing is that as the Ming court became stronger and stronger, Li Chengqian's crown prince position became more and more stable.

Even if Li Chengqian had won the crown in the Taiji Hall back then, who would dare to say that he is not the prince of the Tang Dynasty?
The so-called not to fight is to fight, that's what it means.

If Li Chengqian still stays in Donggong Lianzhan, then the person who decides Li Chengqian's future must be Li Er.

But now, who knows Li Chengqian's future?
Even if Li Er's convulsion really deprived Li Chengqian of his crown prince, so what?

There is also the royal court of the Ming Dynasty, who became the founding emperor in a sudden transformation, and even the temple name can be called the ancestor. Do you think it is annoying or not?

The most important thing is that Li Er is really going to deprive Li Chengqian of the crown prince now, can the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty agree?
No, in layman's terms, Li Chengqian has already proved with practical actions that he is not only a qualified prince, but with what he is doing now, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a wise prince.

They don't want such a prince, what kind of one do they want?
For them, there is also a problem that they must consider.

That is, if the future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not Li Chengqian, how will the Tang Dynasty and Ming Dynasty get along with each other?
Will Li Chengqian raise his troops in anger, thus dragging the newly stabilized world into a quagmire like the end of the Sui Dynasty?

Therefore, Li Chengqian's crown prince position is really stable.

Don't look at everything Li Chengqian does not for that position, but in fact every move he does is to increase his crown prince position.

As a result, Li Er felt a little uncomfortable or aggrieved.

As an emperor, I can't decide who will be in the future. Do you think he is happy or not?
It's not that Li Chengqian made him dissatisfied, on the contrary, he was very satisfied with Li Chengqian's current performance.But it was uncomfortable, the feeling of losing control, which made him very unhappy.

This is not a contradiction.

Especially now that almost all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty have identified Li Chengqian as the future successor, what do you want him to think?
Don't forget, he is an emperor first and a father last.

Shaking his head, Li Er said: "I'm not in a hurry, but Goguryeo will fight after all. Now they occupy more than half of Liaodong and border on the grassland. If they don't contain it now, if they control the grassland in the future, they will have it at any time." Going south, overthrowing the country is in danger."

Everyone nodded when they heard the words, it was indeed the truth.

Although Li Er urgently needed a big battle to prove himself, he didn't just use troops at will just to prove that he was better than his son.

For the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo was not as simple as the shortage of Jinou. The reason why since the former Sui Dynasty, the four emperors of the two dynasties would attack Goguryeo is because Goguryeo's geographical location is indeed always a threat to the Central Plains Dynasty.

However, from Li Er's words, everyone can also hear that Li Er's attitude towards sending troops to Goguryeo is very firm.

Today, I want to let everyone know, or let everyone have a psychological preparation in advance.

Although Li Er couldn't make a decision in the Tang Dynasty like Li Chengqian, but throughout the dynasties, Li Er can definitely be regarded as a strong emperor.

The reason why sometimes you have to compromise is that there is no way.

Comparing Li Chengqian of Ming Dynasty with Li Er of Tang Dynasty is actually very unfair to Li Er.

How big is Daming?

Li Chengqian belongs to both Zhennan Prefecture and Zhenbei Prefecture... Does your entire Ming court have the state capital of Tang Dynasty?
Although the Tang Dynasty has experienced the turbulent times of the end of the century and the population has dropped sharply, there are still some three million households.

Look clearly, it's a household!
The total population of Ming Dynasty is only over 30, how many times is the difference?
"Your Majesty, instead of taking action against Goguryeo, it is better to try to plot Tuyuhun." At this moment, Changsun Wuji stood up and said, "Tuyuhun has disrespected my Tang Dynasty many times over the years, and we had no time to deal with them before. , but now it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not to mention that Tuyuhun has suffered from snowstorms in recent years, which has greatly damaged the national strength.

The most important thing is that there is a Ming Dynasty to the south of him, he dare not, and he has to guard against it.

In this way, it will be much easier to take down Tuyuhun. If His Highness is to support him in the south, Tuyuhun will almost be in his pocket. "

Hearing what he said, Li Er smiled.

Was Changsun Wuji wrong?

In fact, no, indeed, according to the current situation, it is indeed the best time to win Tuyuhun.

If Tang and Ming sent troops together, Tuyuhun would be in danger of destroying the country in an instant.

But Li Er would not do this, not because he looked down on Tuyuhun, but because of his pride as an emperor or as a father, he would not let him do this.

"Don't you know Gao Ming's intentions?" Li Er shook his head, "Let Tuyuhun torment him, if he wants to prove himself, then let him prove himself.

I am also curious about how far the future Ming court will go. "

This is a bit contradictory. Li Er felt that Li Chengqian had put a lot of pressure on him before, but now he is asking him to prove himself, which sounds really incomprehensible.

But in fact, this is actually very understandable.

To put it bluntly, Li Er also has his own pride.

He wanted to prove himself, to prove that dad will always be your dad.

But he definitely didn't use the method Changsun Wuji said to prove himself, absolutely not.

Does Li Er want the Ming court?
Want to, that's for sure.

The Daming Royal Court is really too miraculous, and those things produced by the Daming Royal Court really opened his eyes.

But he wanted it, but there were some things he would never do.

What's the matter, it's not enough to kill the brother and force the father, you have to add a tiger poison eater?
For that alone, he wouldn't do it.

At least, at this time, Li Er still cares about face.

Besides, Tuyuhun couldn't escape.

If Li Chengqian couldn't take down Tuyuhun in the end, he would be sure to take down Tuyuhun again.

When the time comes, won't it be clear at a glance who is the father and who is the son?

As for the others, they also smiled and said nothing.

Li Chengqian's plan basically belongs to Sima Zhaozhi's heart, everyone knows, who doesn't know?
"However, speaking of it, those crafts of Daming are worth learning." Fang Xuanling said with a smile, "Nowadays, everything that can cause a sensation in the market must be from Daming. Should I say it or not, Daming's craftsmanship is indeed Slightly stronger than Datang."

It's interesting that he is slightly stronger than him.

Is this slightly stronger than ?

It's simply not a grade.

Li Er also nodded, and said: "I also agree with this point, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is there any progress in the Liannu that we traded with Daming before?"

Regarding Daming's craftsmanship, no matter who it is, they have to say a word of admiration.

Upon hearing this, Duan Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, immediately stood up and saluted: "Return to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry is still researching, but the Liannu produced by the Ming Dynasty may look inconspicuous, but after dismantling it, the parts are so complicated. , It is also extremely rare, and the Ministry of Industry still can't figure it out for such a long time."

Speaking of this, Duan Lun felt a little helpless.

Li Er nodded and said, "Don't worry, take your time. Since Daming can produce it, I believe that my craftsmen in Datang can also produce it."

Duan Lun nodded, but didn't say much more.

Recently, the Ministry of Industry has been ashamed, so it's better to talk less.

But neither Li Er nor Duan Lun grasped the key point of the matter.

The status and treatment of craftsmen in Datang are too low!

In this era, artisans are not valued, and in fact, it is not only artisans. In this era, apart from scholars and farmers, other industries do not pay much attention, and it is good not to discriminate.

In such a general environment, it is not difficult to understand the lack of creativity of craftsmen.

"Your Majesty, the Royal Court of the Ming Dynasty intentionally asked me to send an envoy to the Royal Court of the Ming Dynasty to facilitate the friendly relations between the two countries.

The meaning of Daming is to let Wang Dequan be stationed in Datang as the envoy of Daming.

Datang has not given a clear answer all this time, I don't know what His Majesty thinks. "Seeing Duan Lun retreat, Fang Xuanling stood up again, bringing up the old matter again.

Li Er laughed when he heard this.

Li Chengqian is getting more and more sophisticated in doing things now.

The exchange of envoys between the two countries is nothing more than Li Chengqian's gesture of goodwill.

It's as if I can recall Wang Dequan if I don't promise you.

"Since Gao Ming has this idea, let him go." Li Er said with a smile, "Is there any suitable candidate?"

Fang Xuanling said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs gave some candidates before, but I have a better candidate."

As he said that, Fang Xuanling himself laughed.

If this person was sent there, I don't know how Li Chengqian would react.

Li Er also became interested, and asked curiously, "Who?"

"Lu Zhengqing." Fang Xuanling said, "Since His Royal Highness pleaded for them last year, Lu Zhengqing has become a bit out of tune with those people, and it is not appropriate to continue to stay in Yushitai. Moreover, recently he has been repeatedly punished by others in the court. Instead of crowding out, it is better to directly send him to stay in the Ming court, which can be regarded as making the best use of him.

Although this person is from a gentry family, he is upright and has talent and learning, the most important thing is..."

Having said that, Fang Xuanling fell silent.

But when everyone heard it, they immediately understood.

Even Li Er laughed.

This is indeed the most suitable candidate.

What Lu Zhengqing wants to say, he still has some talents.

Last year in the Tai Chi Hall, when he angrily reprimanded Li Chengqian, the sentence 'If you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight' still fresh in his memory.

These eight words are really concise.

As for what Fang Xuanling didn't finish, he also understood.

The reason why the gentry can be called a gentry is because their family has a great career and a large number of clansmen.

Fang Xuanling wanted to tear a hole out.

Not to mention, from Cui Mingyuan last year to Lu Zhengqing now, the gentry may not be unable to tear a hole.

Of course, the reason why Fang Xuanling did this was to fight back against the gentry.

He devoted himself to revitalizing culture and education, but the last time those nobles actually wanted to criticize the revitalization of culture and education that had just begun in the court, how could he not move at all.

The reason why he didn't respond before was just waiting for an opportunity.

Now, the timing is perfect.

"Then let Lu Zhengqing go." Li Er said with a smile, "It seems that we need to arrange a guard, right?"

"Yes." Fang Xuanling said, "Your Highness means that the number of guards should not exceed a hundred."

Li Er nodded and said: "I will arrange for Mr. Xi to buy this matter, and ask him to choose 98 people to accompany Lu Zhengqing to Daming."

Hearing what Li Er said, Fang Xuanling stopped talking.

"Come on, gentlemen, drink to win." Li Er smiled and raised his wine glass, "Don't forget, tonight is the county king's celebration banquet."

Li Xiaogong smiled when he heard the words, and was the first to stand up: "Yin Sheng."

Next, it was really drinking and having fun, but there was nothing to say.

And in Tai'an Palace, Li Yuan rarely had two drinks alone.

Since he abdicated, he is either making man or on the way to make man.

For him, it seems that there is really nothing to do besides making people, and there is nothing to do, only...

Over the years, he has added many younger brothers and sisters to Li Er, but Li Er doesn't care about these things, and he can't care about them.

However, after Li Chengqian gained a firm foothold in Tuyuhun, and after the Ming court made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan was more than willing to take a moment to create a human being and have a drink or two alone.

He was just waiting, waiting for what would happen to his son and grandson.

To put it bluntly, he just wanted to watch a show, a big show.

It is said that knowing a son is like a father, this is absolutely true, what kind of person Li Er is, he has the right to speak, otherwise, how could he have said the phrase 'he is not inferior to Gao Ming? Didn't he know that this word would reach Li Er's ears?

He knew it, but he did it on purpose.

Don't forget, he was also an emperor.

When Li Er was the King of Qin, he put a lot of pressure on him, otherwise why would he make Li Jian the crown prince?
Isn't it just to suppress Li Er? (The plot requires it, so don't be ridiculous.)
Of course, many people think that Li Jiancheng is the eldest son, so it is logical to become the prince.

Is it really that simple?
It is no exaggeration to say that almost half of the country in the Tang Dynasty was brought down by Li Er. Didn't Li Yuan know anything about it?
It is true that the father is weak and the son is strong is no problem in ordinary people, but in the royal family, especially if the father is still the emperor, it is a big problem.

He judged others by himself, and he was afraid of King Qin who was strong and strong at that time.

So would the current Li Er be afraid of his son who is definitely a young talent?

Yes, that's for sure!

As time goes by, Li Er will only become more and more jealous.

Even though Li Er is still very proud now, he has his own persistence.

Hehe, just wait, when he is old enough to have more energy than his heart, and when Li Chengqian's wings are getting fuller, the confrontation between the two father and son will really begin.

The thing about power is really the most tempting thing in the world.

As long as it is contaminated, who will give up?
"Your Majesty, it's getting cold, why don't you go to bed earlier?" Li Yuan had just finished his glass of wine when a waiter said.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "What time is it?"

"It's three o'clock." The servant said.

Hearing what he said, Li Yuan nodded: "It's so late?" There was some surprise in his tone, but he quickly smiled again, "Rest, I still have a few more years to live, the future, is it true? It is wonderful, and there may be an unprecedented drama.”

When the waiter heard this, he smiled and said nothing.

Only this one dared to think so.

"Then His Majesty wants that concubine to sleep with you tonight?" the servant laughed.

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I have to take good care of it, otherwise how can I watch the theater in good health in the future?"

He knew that this word would reach Li Er's ears.

But does he care?
He didn't care, he had cursed Li Er's son many years ago that he would also kill brothers. He had said all these things, but he still cared about this?
Besides, what can Li Er do to him.

Li Er dared to kill anyone, could kill anyone, but he was the only one who dared not and could not kill Li Yuan.

Even if Li Yuan suddenly died suddenly, Li Er would have to explain it to the whole world.

Because Datang established the country with filial piety, it's that simple.

As for where Li Er and Li Chengqian will go in the end, it's hard to say. Anyway, Li Yuan felt that there might be a big battle between these two guys in the end.

That's why he wants to live for a few more years. He only needs to watch this kind of battle once in his life and he will have no regrets.

As for who will win in the end, hehe, what does it have to do with Li Yuan?
He just wanted to watch a big show.

Even if the father and son are dead, so what?

Could it be that there is no one in his Li family who can inherit this huge country?
The emperor has no family affection, Li Yuan interpreted this sentence to the extreme.

But judging from his performance, he knew how much he hated the change of Xuanwumen back then!

Of course, what he hated was that Li Er took Datang's country away from him.

That's it.

Right, as long as it is contaminated with this thing, human nature is worthless.

His is worthless, and Li Er's is also worthless!

The battle for the throne has always been bloody.

This is absolutely true.
