Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 58 Li Shimin's Stain
(Thank you for the 119 rewards for dreaming to fly 1500. Time flies so fast on Saturday. I am going to eat hot pot. The second time I ate hot pot. The first time was a Dai girl who went to Zhongshan Pedestrian Street. I remember eating 229 yuan , Dai sister's lemonade is so delicious, but unfortunately I can't drink more hehe!)
"Humph!"

Seeing Shao Qing and others fleeing away, our little princess here snorted coldly.

Li You walked over with a smile: "Okay. Well, everyone has eaten and fought, and the money is good. Go to work now. As for the five hundred coins!"

"I'll give you five hundred coins!" Li Mingda waved his hand vigorously.

Li You smiled and said nothing, more than 300 craftsmen hurriedly bowed to Li Mingda to thank Li Mingda, and went to work happily, but Li Mingda came to Li You's side a little depressed.

"What's the matter?" Li You asked Chun Niang, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Bao'er to leave first, then came to Li Mingda's side, squatting next to the little guy and asked.

"Fifth Brother. Do you think Fourth Brother and Big Brother can coexist peacefully?"

Li Mingda's question stunned Li You. To be honest, Li You really didn't know how to answer Li Mingda, because as a modern person, Li You knew too well about Li Chengqian and Li Tai. way of peaceful coexistence.

The root of all this is actually Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian was very intelligent when he was young. At that time, Li Shimin arranged for Li Gang to give lectures to Li Chengqian.When Li Chengqian was 12 years old, Li Shimin asked him to handle government affairs. Every time Li Shimin was on tour, Li Chengqian supervised the country.

But when he grew up, Li Chengqian's temperament changed drastically. He was addicted to sensual enjoyment and was very rebellious, as if he was a different person, and this change was related to Li Shimin's strict requirements.

Li Shimin is a monarch with a sense of crisis, which has something to do with the historical environment at that time. Since the Han Dynasty, Chinese history has been in a state of division. Only the Western Jin and Sui dynasties once unified the world for a short time, but the lifespan of these two dynasties It was very short. It took only 37 years for the Western Jin Dynasty to unify the world and it fell apart. It took only 31 years for the Sui Dynasty to unify the world until its demise. Will the Tang Dynasty become the next dynasty to fall?

In fact, Li Shimin didn't have a bottom line in his heart, so he sighed that "water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it."This also prompted Li Shimin to work hard to govern, hoping to build a long-lasting dynastic regime.

Li Shimin's sense of crisis also made him strict with Prince Li Chengqian. He pinned his hope of continuing the dynasty on Li Chengqian, but this put great pressure on Li Chengqian.

As he grew older, Li Chengqian became a "double-faced person". According to the "Old Tang Book", he preached the way of loyalty and filial piety in front of Li Shimin when he was in the upper court, and when he returned to the East Palace, he began to fight with his favorite ministers. , Concubine play.

Whenever the courtiers of the Eastern Palace tried to persuade him, Li Chengqian sat upright, assuming a painful look of blaming himself.Even in order to prevent Li Shimin from knowing about his affairs, he only had fun in secret.

However, this kind of acting style of yin and yang also made Li Chengqian feel fear and tension when facing Li Shiminzhong. He also hated his father's expectations more and more, and became very painful.

If Li Shimin knew his mistake at this time, he might be able to redeem it. Unfortunately, Li Shimin did something even more wrong. It was because of Li Chengqian's behavior that Li Shimin gradually gave up on Li Chengqian and wanted to establish his second son, Wei Wang Li Tai. For the prince.

In fact, Li Shimin's dissatisfaction with Li Chengqian was reflected in the tenth year of Zhenguan. This year, Li Shimin made 17 of his children kings. Except for five who were left behind because of their young age, Li Tai was also left in Chang'an at that time. After that, Li Tai and Li Chengqian each Develop your own power.

During the ten-year enfeoffment of Zhenguan in the Ming Dynasty, 17-year-old Li Tai was too old, but Li Shimin insisted on staying in Chang'an. This kind of behavior is the expression of Li Shimin's inner thoughts.

After that, Li Shimin issued another order for Li Tai to open a literature museum to recruit bachelors.In fact, there is a lot of meaning in this. Li Shimin himself set up a literary museum during the period of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, and recruited a group of literati as his staff, such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others. Li Shimin made great contributions to his accession to the throne.The opening of the Literature Museum is undoubtedly to encourage Li Tai's desire to win the heir.

In the 14th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin visited Li Tai's mansion in Yankangfang in person, exempted the people of Yankangfang from renting for one year, and rewarded the officials and old people of Weiwang's mansion.Pardon the death-row inmates in Chang'an County where Yankangfang is located.

In the 15th year of Zhenguan, the draft of "Kuo Di Zhi" edited by Li Tai was completed.Li Shimin was very happy, and rewarded Li Tai with more property than Li Chengqian, which aroused the persuasion of the court ministers.

Li Shimin continued to support Li Tai, which inflated Li Tai's ambitions. He gathered around him the descendants of heroes in the early Tang Dynasty, thus forming a party, mainly composed of Chai Lingwu, son of Chai Shao, Yiai, son of Fang Xuanling, and younger brother of Du Ruhui. Du Chuke and more than 20 people.These people made suggestions for Li Tai to win the heir.

It also gradually made Li Tai's behavior known to Sima Zhaozhi, but there was only one person who didn't know it, and that was Li Shimin. He always trusted Li Tai very much, and naively thought that Li Tai would be his king of Wei dutifully.

It can be said that Li Shimin's biggest stain should be his handling of his son's throne. A man who stepped on the corpses of thousands of people to the throne naively thought that he could have both. The joke of slipping the world.

Li You looked at Li Mingda's frown, squatted down gently, let Li Mingda sit on his lap, and looked at Li Mingda with a smile: "Sister, what are you talking about, brother and four?" Of course, brother can coexist peacefully, so don't worry, Your Majesty is already doing it, don't you believe in Your Majesty? As long as His Majesty takes action, there will be nothing that can't be done, and soon the eldest brother and fourth brother will become the same as before Same.

In this way, when your son celebrates his birthday next time, fifth brother will help you bring your eldest brother and fourth brother together to celebrate your birthday, okay? "

"Really...?" Li Mingda looked at Li You's small eyes and widened his eyes.

"Of course it's true, so don't worry, why don't we go back now and eat cherries." Li You quickly changed the subject.

Fortunately, Li Mingda also smiled at this time: "Well, let's eat cherries."

Li You thought that he had successfully changed the topic, but what Li You didn't know was that after Li You stood up with a smile, Li Mingda sighed slightly at the corner of his mouth.

He had just returned to his home in the West Market, and after a while, a carriage stopped in front of the door.

Then a person came out from the carriage. He had big shoulders and a round waist, with a burly figure, but he was dressed in a scholar's attire, and his burly body was about to squeeze out the scholar's uniform on his body.

This visitor was none other than Li Tai's right-hand man, Fang Yiai.

He knew Si Zi very well, because Fang Yiai was not only Fang Xuanling's son, but also Princess Gaoyang's son-in-law, so Fang Yiai, Li Mingda and Li You all knew each other. Li You watched Fang Yiai get off the car, I probably know that Shao Qing should have turned into a corpse by now.
