Chapter 141 Li Ke ([-])

"But he was not greatly affected by this matter. He just blamed it on Chang Shi, who assisted Li Ke. From this point, it is enough to see that Li Shimin loves and values ​​​​the prince. This is also the reason why he is expected to ascend the throne. An important foundation for the position of prince."

"Among the many sons of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke was favored in this matter, but he was not the most favored."

"From the fifth year of Zhenguan to the eighth year of Zhenguan, Li Ke was successively appointed as the governor of Qinzhou, the governor of Qinzhou, the governor of Qinzhou, the governor of Qinzhou, the governor of Qinzhou, the military governor of Qincheng, Weiwu, and the military governor of Yizhou, and the governor of Yizhou. There is a precedent for the prime minister to lead the governor from afar."

"Before he went to serve as the governor of Qizhou, he had a long-lost home-cooked meal with Taizong. The two were really happy talking and laughing at the time, but afterwards, after Li Ke left, Li Shimin's mind changed."

"Tang Taizong confided his inner uneasiness to Fang Xuanling and other ministers. He said that he wanted to spend more time with his sons, but he was afraid that he would be too close to them and make them develop undue ambitions."

"It was just a meal, but Tang Taizong was so worried that Li Ke would compete for the crown prince's position. It is really unfair to Li Ke."

"Because Taizong's attitude towards the fourth prince Li Tai is completely opposite. There is no bottom line for him to favor Li Tai."

"According to convention, princes should go to fiefdoms when they reach adulthood and are not allowed to stay in the capital permanently, but Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty favored Li Tai and granted Li Tai permission to stay in Chang'an."

"Taizong of the Tang Dynasty often rewarded Li Tai with property and precious paintings and calligraphy in large quantities, even exceeding the specifications of the prince. His ministers advised Li Shimin, but Li Shimin only canceled the prince's spending limit and did not reduce Li Tai's expenditure, which was tantamount to disguised Li Tai's expenses were exceeded."

"Look, with the way Taizong of the Tang Dynasty treated Li Tai, it would be weird if Li Tai didn't develop a desire to compete for the throne! On the other hand, Li Ke aroused Taizong's suspicion just because of a slightly intimate homely meal. It's really It’s unjust!”

Li Xin: According to this, even a bowl of water is not the same!
Cao Cao: It's me, and I have to be inflated. How come the majestic emperor can't distinguish priorities!
Xiaozhuang: In order of favor, they should be Li Tai, Li Chengqian, Li Zhi, and Li Ke, poor children!

Qin Shihuang: Li Shimin did have a fondness for Li Ke, but not much. Let’s see what happened when Li Ke died tragically later?It sounds like this has something to do with Li Shimin.

Zhu Di: It’s a big deal!
"Perhaps it was Li Shimin's uneasiness. When Li Ke took office, Li Shimin gave him a "Book of Commandments."

"Perhaps due to the effect of this "Book of Commandments", Li Ke learned self-restraint and never saw Li Ke again. He was dismissed from office due to other faults. Not only that, Li Ke respected Quan Wanji's uprightness and accepted his words well. Even Taizong They all marveled."

"Li Ke was not only outstanding in governance, but also in fighting. In a battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, Wu King Li Ke single-handedly forced a large part of the Turks' cavalry to retreat. As a result, he made great achievements in this war. . Among Li Shimin’s many sons, Li Ke is the one who is most like his father. Therefore, not only Li Shimin himself has high hopes for Li Ke, but also future generations have high praise for him."

"During this peaceful time, an accident happened. It was Li Chengqian's rebellion and the establishment of the crown prince."

"Everyone knows what I just said. Before Li Chengqian rebelled, he already had mental problems. He spent all day drinking and drinking, relying on his position as the prince, doing random things and having no ambition to make progress."

"At this time, when Li Shimin saw such a scene, he had the idea of ​​​​Yi Chu. After all, as a qualified prince, he should not only have a feeling of concern for the country and the people, but also have the idea of ​​taking the world as his own responsibility and act bravely and decisively. Style, if you leave the country you have worked hard to build in the hands of such a person, it will only accelerate the demise of the dynasty."

"But there are informants everywhere in the palace. As the prince, Li Chengqian naturally heard about this incident, so he "went to the doctor in a hurry" and led troops to rebel and directly replaced Li Shimin. Such a depressed prince after all He was no match for the sophisticated Li Shimin, and he did not end up well in the end." "The vacancy of the crown prince's position attracted many princes to make moves, but Tang Taizong already had a suitable candidate in mind."

"In the heart of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke, his and Concubine Yang's son, was the most suitable candidate for the crown prince. Personally speaking, he was brave, decisive and ambitious. It can be said that he was the best candidate to establish the crown prince."

"Why didn't Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty appoint Li Zhi? Because in his eyes, Li Zhi was benevolent and weak."

"But Changsun Wuji disagreed. At that time, the Guanlong Group was so powerful that Tang Taizong could only make Li Zhi the crown prince."

"Originally, he was the most likely to be crowned prince because of his talents, but he has the blood of the Sui Dynasty royal family. Whether it is the oppression of Changsun Wuji or fear of the risk of changing dynasties, it is impossible for him to be crowned prince, and he is also because of My identity and the position of Prince just missed."

"Because of this incident, Changsun Wuji and Li Ke have been on the same page ever since."

"But Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty did not give up his idea of ​​establishing Li Ke."

"For more than half a year after Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty established Li Zhi, he felt that his youngest son was only 15 years old and had been raised by his side without any experience."

"As the future heir of the Tang Dynasty, he is not strong enough. I am worried that he will not be able to control national affairs. After all, he is the king of the country."

"So Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty thought of changing the crown prince again, and Li Ke was the only suitable candidate at that time, because except for Li Ke, the other princes were not very successful. Either because they were demoted or killed, or they really couldn't afford to support him. Adou, Li Shimin has no other choice but Li Ke at this time.

"Is this really pampering? Why do you still want to add fuel to the fire on Li Ke in his old age? You still want to mention the matter of establishing a heir apparent. Is there any possibility that he will ascend to the throne? He also reminded the ministers of Li Ke many times." Yingguo kind me" this sentence!"

Xianyang Palace,
"Fusu, after studying with Li Si for so long, do you see any problems?" Ying Zheng asked Fusu who was looking at the bamboo slips.

Fusu thought over and over Miss Zhang's rhetorical questions, and suddenly Fusu's eyes widened, "Tang Taizong wants Changsun Wuji to get rid of Li Ke!" Fusu was shocked by his thoughts.

He couldn't believe his thoughts and looked at his father. His father nodded to him and actually showed satisfaction with the result.

Ying Zheng asked again: "Tell me how you saw it?"

"Didn't Ms. Zhang repeatedly mention Changsun Wuji's power several times, and Li Ke has no chance at all? Why should she mention it again to stimulate Changsun Wuji? Doesn't this make Changsun Wuji even more intolerable to Li Ke? I You can tell from this last sentence." After Fusu finished speaking, he looked at his father again, wanting to know if his guess was correct.
