Chapter 13
"It would be best if you can understand the second brother. The second brother is really afraid that you won't forgive the second brother. Ever since you woke up and left without notice, the second brother really panicked. Going or not, apart from your children, you are really the only family member left for Second Brother." Li Shimin said with a sigh.

"Stop talking about it, it doesn't make any sense. You should call me Li Cha, I don't want to use the name Li Yuanba anymore."

Li Cha emphasized his name again, no matter what Li Shimin thought, he didn't want to use the name Li Yuanba again.

"Well, I won't mention the name. But, since you don't hate the second brother, why did you leave as soon as you woke up? After all, this is your home. You know the second brother"

Seeing that Li Cha's mood had calmed down, Li Shimin didn't want to irritate himself, the third brother, and hastily changed the subject.

"Family, forget it, I only have one family in Datang, and that is the Longyou Li family with loving father and mother, brothers and friends. It's just that that family no longer exists."

Li Cha didn't wait for Li Shimin to finish speaking, and blocked him directly.This is also the only bit of warmth in Li Yuanba's memory, and it's not bad to take it out to fool Li Er.

"Third brother, you can't say that. There are only two of us left in the direct line of the Li family in Longyou. The place where you have your second brother is your home. It's not the same situation now. It's only because my eldest brother and I took care of each other. As the prince who fought in the war, we all need to give an explanation to the brothers who followed us through life and death. But if there are other choices, my eldest brother and I will not make that choice."

Li Shimin sighed, and explained to Li Cha in frustration.

Li Cha's words just now completely brought Li Shimin into the era of the Longyou Li family with loving father and mother, brothers and brothers respectful, what a nostalgic era it was.

What Li Shimin said was indeed true. He and his eldest brother were both princes who led troops to fight. The soldiers below are fighting to the point of death.

"This is the price you paid for that useless throne. Also, don't say that such a thing won't happen, do you believe it yourself? As long as that throne is still there, your family will never be without you fighting for it, you Let me die." Li Cha pouted and said disdainfully.

"Third brother, that kind of thing will definitely not happen. Our Tang Dynasty is now full of fierce generals, and there is no shortage of people who lead troops to fight. I will not let my sons lead soldiers to fight, and I will not form cliques for them. They have no chance to follow the old path of me and elder brother, they will only love each other and will not kill each other again." Li Shimin said confidently.

Li Cha, who heard these words, looked at Li Shimin with pity.If it was really as recorded in the history books, his second elder brother would become a poor widowed old man before his death.None of the outstanding sons of the second brother Li Shimin came to a good end.

"Hahahaha, Li Laoer, Li Lao Er, who gave you the confidence? Peerless characters like you and your elder brother are forced to fight each other by your own subordinates. In a situation where you die and we die, you How can you think that my nephews can handle those old foxes who kill without blood? Huh?"

"Are you planning to abdicate ten years in advance and let my successor nephew take over the power, or are you planning to take away all your old subordinates and brothers before you die?" Li Cha roared angrily, and laughed a few times. The sound is just to cover up the sadness in my heart, the compassion for my nephews who have never masked.

Some things really can't be broken, and no one can accept it.No, Tang Taizong Li Shimin, who was hailed as one of the five greatest emperors in Chinese history by our later generations, slumped on the chair with a sallow face, because he couldn't guarantee or do the three things Li Cha just said. arrive.

First, all his sons can never play with the old fox who grew up with him in the chaos of war.

Second, he could not abdicate ten years in advance to pave the way for his son.

Thirdly, before he died, he couldn't slaughter those old fellows who accompanied him all the way and saved his countless lives.

The huge Ganlu Hall was silent for a long time, and the quiet atmosphere made people feel the hairs stand up.

Suddenly Li Shimin jumped up and shouted angrily: "I can continue to fight, I can defeat Turkic, Shiwei, Tuyuhun, Goguryeo, Tubo, all the places I know, and I can make my son emperor. "

"Fight, fight, fight, besides fighting, what else do you know? Brother Li, have you forgotten why our hard days started? Let me tell you, it was because Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty insisted on fighting Goguryeo, Then, the Eighteenth Route Army revolted against the king, and the common people were devastated. You were the one who forced your father to rebel, because of what? Li Shimin, do you still remember?" Li Cha also shouted angrily.

"At that time, I couldn't understand what Emperor Yang did, and I couldn't see the suffering of the people. I just wanted to end the war as soon as possible, and return the people to a peaceful world and a stable living environment. Was I wrong?" Li Shimin shouted.

"Hahahaha, Li Shimin, don't talk to me, I, I, you were right at the time, but did you really do it? Is the life of the people better? Have you left this imperial chair and gone out to see it? Haven't you seen it? I’ve seen corpses frozen to death on the side of the road and no one picked them up, sold bereaved children can be seen everywhere, and orphans who snatched food from wild dogs died in my arms, do you know that feeling?”

"In the past half a year, I have traveled all over the territory of the Tang Dynasty. The entire land of Hebei is full of barren mountains and wild mountains. There are no people in ten, do you know? This is all brought about by the war. Li Shimin, I will put my words here today. Now, before the common people have no worries about food and clothing, if you dare to talk about war again, I will be the first to demolish your Tai Chi Palace. Let me see how many of you can resist my two golden hammers for beating drums and urns .”

At this time, Li Cha was already furious, pointing at Li Shimin and roaring.

"Then tell me, what else can I do? I've done my best for the people of the Tang Dynasty. One mother and four brothers, I, Li Shimin, have killed two of them with my own hands. It was I, Li Shimin, who forced my father to abdicate. I snatched it from them. I admit all of these, and this is an indisputable fact.”

"However, all along, I have been conscientiously trying to be a good emperor. The scene of Xuanwumen's change has long become my heart demon. I often wake up in the middle of the night from nightmares, dreaming that my elder brother and my father blamed me for not bringing The mountains and rivers stolen from them will be governed well."

"I don't think about food and tea every day, so I want to do something for the people, but the reality is like this, what else can I do? What else can I do?" Speaking of the pain, our Emperor Taizong Li Shimin's eyes Also shed tears.

In fact, to be honest, it’s not that Li Cha has to quarrel with Li Shimin. Maybe the two brothers are really incompatible with each other. Li Shimin’s every word can successfully provoke Li Cha’s anger. Now he is too deeply influenced by Li Yuanba’s thinking. Li Cha really didn't want to talk anymore.

The Ganlu Hall fell into silence again, and the two people who stood up against the table in the hall were adjusting their emotions.

"That's your business. Since you have become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you have to take on this responsibility. I came to you today for only one purpose. I want land and people. I don't want to talk about anything else. , how to govern the country is up to you and those subordinates, the only thing I want to do now is to let the people of the whole Tang Dynasty have enough to eat." After a long time, Li Cha calmly stated his purpose of coming to the palace.

"Third brother, look at what you said, you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, my only direct brother, the important land, all the land owned by the royal family is yours, the important person, all the troops in the country are now under your control, you Just say what you want to do." Li Shimin asked.

"Yes, I found out why it is so difficult to talk to you? Let me repeat, I am the third master of the Li family in Longyou, Li Cha, not your prince of the Tang Dynasty."

"If I want to be this prince, why should I run to Cheng Yaojin's house, scare him half to death, and ask him to bring me to you? I found that it was a mistake for me to come to you today. I might as well go to Cheng Yaojin directly." How many acres of land does Jin want, and how many soldiers does he want? It’s not speculative, let’s go, let’s go.” Li Cha waved his hands at Li Shimin and was about to go out.

"Third brother, wait a minute, why do you need a few acres of land and a few soldiers?" Li Shimin stopped Li Cha, who was about to go out, and asked suspiciously. He never thought that Li Cha came to him just to follow him He wants a few acres of land and a few soldiers.

"What are you doing? Hehe, pay off the debts. Pay off the debts for the Li family in Longyou, for the father, for the eldest brother, and for the second brother. Since my Li family participated in the struggle for world hegemony and caused the people of the Tang Dynasty to live in poverty, then my Li family owes a lot. The people of the Tang Dynasty have a huge debt, and if you, Li Shimin, can't pay it off, then let me, Li Cha, pay it off."

Li Cha said lightly.No matter what, many things he will do in the future will need the support of this second brother, so let's put himself on the highest point of morality first.

"Oh, how do you say that? You're right. The Li family owed a huge debt, and the second brother has been paying it back. It's just that you only need a few acres of land and a few soldiers. How can you help the second brother repay the debt?" Li Shimin asked.

"This is full of treasures. I need a few acres of land to grow seedlings and a few soldiers to guard. You don't understand now. You will know later. I don't want anyone to know my identity, or the officials will force me to You can make me a prince, but I don't accept it, and you will be the one who will be embarrassed at that time. So you can figure it out."

"Okay, I see, I will make arrangements. Let's have dinner first, third brother. You can stay in your original palace. I have been cleaned by others, and nothing has been touched." Li Shimin saw the sky It's getting dark, and I plan to end the conversation first.

"No, no matter where you go, don't stay in this tomb of the dead. Let me know when things are done. It will be easy for your people to find me. Let's go, go." Li Cha lifted his legs and walked out.

"Third brother."

"I brought the bear skins on the ground to my nephew and niece. You should divide them up. Let's go, go." Li Cha heard Li Shimin call him, but he didn't turn his head, he just waved his hand.

"Third brother, if you don't want to live in the palace, the second brother will not force you. You can take this token and you can enter and leave the palace at any time. Come and see the second brother when you have time. The second brother is really lonely." Li Shimin He was almost begging for his own brother, he was indeed too lonely, and there was no one around him who could tell the truth.

"Understood! When I'm done with the food, I'll tell you a story about picking melons." Li Cha took the token and turned around to leave.Although Li Cha already knew that the current Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty in later history may not be in the same time and space.But Li Cha was going to remind Li Shimin about the future of his nephews.

"Growing melons under the yellow platform, the melons are ripe and the seeds are separated. Picking once makes the melons good, and picking them again makes the melons thin. Picking them three times is still enough for you. If you pick them all, you will return with the vines. Go, go."

Reciting a doggerel, Li Cha, watched by Li Shimin, left the Ganlu Palace and the palace.Only Li Shimin was left sitting alone in the Ganlu Hall, thinking about something.
