Ji Tang

Chapter 52 Warning
When he heard that Ji Song was about to tell a story, Li Shimin knew that it was because Ji Song had something to say that was inconvenient to say and wanted to tell it in a subtle way in the form of a story.

In this way, even if you are wrong, it will not cause any harm. This is what smart people do.

"Once upon a time, there was a powerful empire. A civil strife just broke out. Although it was put down by a wise monarch, it still caused the empire to fall into a period of decline.

This wise emperor had two wise princes. During the civil strife, the eldest prince was courteous to the corporal and helped the emperor handle the affairs of the court. The second prince was good at fighting and the world was quickly pacified. He was the greatest contributor.

As time passed, both princes gathered a group of talented people.

They respectively represent the interests of different classes. Even if they are brothers and brothers, over time, the relationship between them will be strained by the subordinates of the two different classes.

In the end, there can be no rest unless one party falls.The emperor was also getting older. For the long-term stability of the empire, he could only choose his eldest son to succeed him.

But he also knew that the second prince would not give up easily. Even if the second prince gave up, his men would not give up either.

Therefore, for the sake of orderly inheritance of the empire and for the safety of the second prince, he had to reduce the power of the second prince.

This made him no longer a threat to the eldest prince, so that the eldest prince would not treat the second prince excessively.

It can also enable the second prince to spend the rest of his life in peace, because the eldest prince will not risk the world to kill a prince who poses no threat to the throne.

The old emperor's idea was good. For the sake of the overall situation, he had to sacrifice the second prince. This was also the best ending.

However, he calculated everything wrongly.Even if the eldest prince lets the second prince go, those around him will not let him live.As long as the second prince is alive, he will be a big threat to them. "

Ji Song glanced at Li Shimin who was thoughtful, and then said: "Finally, the conflict broke out. In order to survive, the second prince triggered a palace coup, killed the eldest prince and other brothers, and forced the emperor to abdicate."

Li Shimin trembled when he heard this, looked straight ahead, and said with some trembling: "Then what?"

"Soon after, the old emperor abdicated and he became the new emperor, but because he was not in the right position, many people opposed him," Ji Song said.

"Then what did he do?" came an extremely suppressed voice.

"He used great perseverance to restrain the murderous intention in his heart. Not only did he not go on a killing spree, he also entrusted heavy responsibilities to those who had been against him in the past.

During his reign, he spoke widely, endured humiliation and defeated the powerful enemy in the north, and captured his leader to dance in the hall.In the later period, he worked hard and created a prosperous era. "

"but"

"Isn't this a good ending? What else?"

Ji Song glanced at Li Shimin and said: "Originally, everything should be over. Although he was not in the right position, no one said that he was not a good emperor.

But the consequences of his palace coup erupted in his later years, and his prince also imitated his father and launched a coup. "

"What? This is impossible!" Li Shimin shouted hysterically.

Ji Song ignored it and continued; "Every time the emperor changed, the royal family seemed to be cursed, and blood would flow like a river."

"Why? Tell me, why is this?" Li Shimin's emotions were out of control. He held Ji Song's shoulders and kept shaking them. The intensity even made Ji Song feel pain.

"Your Highness, you've lost your composure. It's just a story. Why should you take it seriously?" Ji Song had to comfort Li Shimin, who was out of control.

"Tell me, why did it become like this?"

"Because he got off to a very bad start, his descendants thought: Since my ancestors were successful, why don't I imitate him! So, generation after generation, the cycle continues like this."

"Yes, why not? Is this really a story? Why do I think this will definitely happen?" Li Shimin murmured.

"What is the solution?"

"Have"

"Speak quickly!" "It depends on his choice. Every choice a person makes will have different consequences. Planting good causes may not necessarily lead to good results, but planting evil causes will definitely lead to bad results."

After Ji Song's story was told, he did not copy history, but made its consequences clear.

In his next life, he didn't want so many unspeakable things to happen to this great country.

Looking at Li Shimin who was deep in thought, Ji Song did not disturb him.He waved to the distance, then turned around and left with Honglei in his hand.

He has said everything that should be said and what should not be said. No matter what happens in the future, even if the inertia of history does not change, then he himself has a clear conscience.

"Planting good causes does not necessarily lead to good consequences, but planting evil causes will definitely lead to bad consequences. Whichever choice you make will have consequences. What do you want to tell me, Brother Song?"

When he woke up, he could no longer see Ji Song. After asking the black-faced general who came to him for unknown reasons, he found out that Ji Song had been gone for a long time.

"Jingde, let's go back to the house. At the same time, notify Wuji and the others that we have something to discuss."

"promise"

King Qin's Tiance Mansion, inside the main hall.

"Let's talk about it, everyone!"

"Your Highness, can you tell me who told this story?" A scholar who looked very elegant asked Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin and Ji Song parted ways, he hurried back to Prince Qin's Mansion. He was in a state of confusion. After calling his confidants, he told everyone Ji Song's story, hoping that everyone could give him some advice.

"It's better not to ask about Xuanling. It doesn't matter who he is. What matters is, what should we do?"

"Your Highness, I think this person is worthy of death."

"Oh, how could Wuji see it?" Li Shimin asked doubtfully.

"No matter what the purpose of this person is, he is trying to kill His Highness's ambition. This is a soft knife, and His Highness cannot be trusted." Changsun Wuji said unceremoniously.

Just when Li Shimin was about to defend himself, a middle-aged scribe with a decisive look stepped forward and said, "I beg to differ."

After looking at the somewhat astonished Changsun Wuji, he continued: "No matter what the purpose of this person is, his heart is good, and it can also be said that he has a long-term vision.

In the past, I did not consider this possibility. Fortunately, I knew it in time. If it were too late, it would have caused endless disasters and harmed future generations. We had to guard against it! "

"Isn't what Keming said a bit alarmist?" Fang Xuanling said in surprise.

"No, it's not an exaggeration. We can fail, but we can't bring disaster to the future, otherwise we won't be able to live in peace even if we die." Du Ruhui said firmly.

"Then we can just kill ourselves by cutting the neck." Cheng Yaojin shouted.

"This can't be done, that can't be done, what do you think we should do?" Changsun Wuji said angrily. In his opinion, Du Ruhui was crazy.

"We will do whatever we want to do, but in terms of how we treat that person, we will follow His Highness's lead and no one can have other thoughts." Du Ruhui looked at Li Shimin and said.

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately realized that he had reached a dead end.

As long as you make some changes in the way you do things, it will be fine.

Think of Ji Song's saying, "Sowing good causes may not necessarily lead to good results, but sowing evil causes will definitely lead to bad results." ', he immediately became excited. It turns out that the method lies in this sentence.

However, there were too many uncertainties, and a slight negligence could lead to death. Thinking of the people who followed him, his wife and children, he gritted his teeth and said to himself: I, Li Shimin, will never fail.

I didn't expect that this bastard kid would dare to play tricks on me. I have to beat him up the next time I see him, otherwise it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in his heart. Li Shimin didn't know what he thought of, and he gritted his teeth for a while.
