I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 358 Li Shimin pleads for mercy

Looking at the way his father saw the imperial seal, he felt unspeakably fond of it, but he stepped back. What does this mean?
But Li Zheng couldn't understand it.

"Zheng'er, Zheng'er."

"You are indeed smart, but isn't your father's current prestige strong enough in the Tang Dynasty?"

"There are few people in the world who disrespect me."

"There are few officials in the world who are not afraid of me."

"Who dares to disrespect me as the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty in a small country offline?"

"Do I still need this national jade seal to add to my current prestige?"

"The reason why I tried so hard to find your Imperial Seal back then was because I had just ascended the throne and didn't have enough prestige, so I wanted this symbol of imperial power, but now I don't need it at all."

"I, these three words Li Shimin represent imperial power."

"Who in the world doesn't respect me? Isn't he afraid of me?"

"I no longer need this national jade seal." Li Shimin said with a smile, but his eyes were filled with relief when he looked at Li Zheng.

"Zheng'er, it's great that you can regain your memory."

"At least, I am no longer as guarded as before. Moreover, I have given such a treasure as this Imperial Seal to my father. I am much more happy than when I saw this Imperial Seal."

"You keep this imperial seal."

"Waiting for the day when you regain your identity, waiting for the day when I reveal your identity as prince to Scorpio, waiting for the day when I canonize you as the crown prince and inherit the throne."

"If you take out this imperial seal again, it announces that you have found the imperial seal cast by the former First Emperor. This will definitely bring your prestige to the extreme and make you powerful in the world."

"Your name, Li Zheng's name, will be bound to the imperial seal, even if it lasts hundreds, thousands, or ten thousand years."

"Everyone in the world will remember that it was you, Li Zheng, who found the Imperial Seal. In addition to being the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, you are also the successor to the imperial power and will of the former First Emperor."

Li Shimin said with a serious face and pushed the jade box in front of him towards Li Zheng. There was no concealment of the expectation in his eyes.

For Li Zheng.

Just like it was back then.

Li Shimin overturned everything.

He is old.

Now he just wants to hand over a powerful Tang Dynasty to Li Zheng's hands. As long as it is beneficial to Li Zheng, he will do everything.

Feeling the heat in Li Shimin's eyes, there was still hope.

Li Zheng didn't say anything more, but picked up the jade box again and put it into the storage space: "I understand what you mean."

"Zheng'er."

Li Shimin's expression softened again.

"Father, if you have anything to say, just say it." Li Zheng smiled.

"Can your father ask you something?"

"This is also your father's biggest worry and fear."

Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng with a pleading look.

"Father, just say what you want to say." Li Zheng smiled slightly.

"Your father hopes that you will not be stained with the blood of your relatives in the future."

"As a prince, your eldest brother has a kind heart. He has gotten along well with his younger brothers since childhood and is very tolerant towards them. Therefore, the prince has the respect of his younger brothers and the admiration of all the ministers."

"But you are different."

"You grew up among the people and have never interacted with your brothers, so you have no affection for them."

"I am really afraid that you will be the emperor in the future. I am afraid that you will kill your eastern gates."

"Your father knows your character. You are not showy, but you are loyal in your heart." Li Shimin said helplessly in his voice.

In the past three years, Li Shimin knew very well what kind of character his prince would be like when he returned from the common people.

To the enemy, you must retaliate.

And the princes of the Tang Dynasty, his sons, may all become Li Zheng's enemies in the future.

Based on Li Zheng’s character.

He doesn't care what outsiders think at all, he only cares about his own thoughts. Hear Li Shimin's words.

Li Zheng did not speak and fell into rare silence.

For Li Shimin, this request was not a surprise.

Although he only favored the princes Li Chengqian and Li Zheng, he also had friendship with his other sons.

After Li Zheng was silent for a long time, he spoke: "Father."

"I am determined to promise you not to kill them, but I cannot promise you not to deal with them."

"If you want to hand over the Tang Dynasty to me, this is what you must do."

What Li Zheng meant.

Naturally, the feudal king must be strictly controlled.

If Li Zheng takes charge of the country, he will not only control the authority of those vassal kings, but also cancel the indiscriminate offerings of the Xu royal family in Jiangsu.

The power in the hands of these feudal kings was too great.

It is even more important for vassal kings like Wei Wang Li Tai who control the main army of the Tang Dynasty like the Jinyang Army to be controlled.

Otherwise something will happen sooner or later.

"I know what's on your mind."

"Lord, it is indeed the trouble I left for you."

"Do not worry."

"I will solve it."

"After a while, I will convene the six tribes to discuss the disposition of the royal family and vassal kings." Li Shimin sighed and said.

"Father, after I deal with Fourth Brother, I will come and discuss this matter with you."

"This matter must be resolved."

"They didn't dare to do anything while you were suppressing the world, but if it were me in the future, they would definitely cause a military disaster."

"Once troops are deployed, it is irreversible."

"Although I won't kill them, they will be imprisoned by me until they die."

Now that he opened his heart, Li Zheng did not hide anything.

If it weren't for his father Li Shimin's plea, Li Zheng would have killed all the brothers if they dared to rebel.

What about killing brothers? If he has no feelings for these people, he won't care at all.

"Li Sheng and the others went to Jinyang, and Wang Hao went to Luoyang."

"In a few days, the military power in Jinyang will no longer be held by Lao Si, and Wang Hao will also investigate the Wei Palace." Li Shimin said.

"Although."

"I still have to go to Luoyang Mansion in person."

"The bad guys searched the entire Prince Wei's palace, but found no trace of the Taoist priest in green. It can be seen that the fourth brother hid him very well. By the way, I also want to go to Jinyang Changzhi to worship my mother." Li Zheng slowly said said.

He is a person who values ​​friendship.

It has been a year since I paid homage to my mother, and now I happened to be going to Luoyang, so naturally I stopped by Jinyang to pay homage.

"When are you going to leave?" Li Shimin asked.

"After taking care of Kong Xian."

"This old guy, I always feel unhappy if I don't watch him die." Li Zheng told the truth.

Li Shimin smiled: "You... it's true."

"Alright."

"Then deal with Kong Xian as soon as possible and let you be the supervisor in person."

"You can take revenge yourself."

Li Zheng smiled: "Thank you very much, Father. It is a pleasure to send Kong Xian on his way in person. However, there will be no Kong family in the Tang Dynasty in the future."
