Chapter 96 Yu Shu's Change

Li Shimin looked at Ye Jiangnan with anticipation.

"My lord, although Li Zhi's child has not yet been born, I don't think he will be the same as Hu Hai, right?"

Li Shimin guessed.

"Emperor Tang, are you so confident that your son is different from my son Hu Hai?"

Qin Shi Huang asked back.

Qin Shihuang didn't believe that Li Zhi was not cruel and ruthless.

To be able to sit on the throne, one must be either too stupid or too cruel.

Although he didn't know Li Shimin very well, he could tell from Li Shimin's temperament.

It can be seen at a glance that Li Shimin is by no means an ordinary person.

His whole aura gave people the feeling that he was a man who had fought in a war.

In order for Li Shimin to become emperor and sit on the throne, Qin Shihuang guessed that Li Shimin must have used some special means.

Li Shimin glanced at Qin Shi Huang and said:

"Because I often use your son Hu Hai's experience to educate my own children."

"So, I am sure that Li Zhi will never be like Hu Hai!"

Emperor Qin Shihuang:"……"

"Good good!"

"When I get back, I will use your story to educate my children!"

Seeing these two people always bickering with each other, Ye Jiangnan suddenly found it quite interesting.

"You two can indeed use other people's affairs to educate your own children."

Ye Jiangnan said seriously.

Qin Shihuang and Li Shimin looked over together.

"What I mean is that you two can use each other's strengths to educate your children."

Ye Jiangnan added.

Qin Shi Huang waved his hand and said:

"Immortal, let's not talk about this for now."

"I just want to know whether Emperor Tang's son, Li Zhi, harmed his brothers and sisters."

Li Shimin rolled his eyes at Qin Shihuang.

This guy really can't stand his own good.

Ye Jiangnan also saw Qin Shihuang's thoughts and said:
"Li Zhi did not kill his brothers like Hu Hai did."

"Not only that, after Li Zhi inherited the throne, he worked hard to govern the country and actively accepted advice, making the Tang Dynasty even more prosperous."

After hearing this, Qin Shihuang felt like he had eaten a mouth full of flies.

Li Shimin was overjoyed.

"Hahaha!"

"As expected, you are my son, just like me!"

Qin Shi Huang said in a sour tone:

"Tsk, it's not like the eldest son is inheriting the throne, what are you so proud of?"

Li Shimin taunted:

“Emperor Qin, what you said is not that your eldest son did not inherit the throne?”

"Besides, although my eldest son did not inherit the throne, my youngest son worked hard to govern the Tang Dynasty very well!"

Qin Shi Huang stopped talking.

There is really no way to refute Li Shimin.

Ye Jiangnan looked at the smug Li Shimin and held back the last words he was about to say.

I’d better not tell Li Shimin for the time being.

He was afraid that Li Shimin would not be able to accept it.

If he fainted, no one would take care of him.

"Okay, the King of Tang has finished speaking, and it's your turn, the King of Qin."

Ye Jiangnan changed the subject.

Qin Shi Huang sighed and said:

"My Immortal, it's outrageous that my son Fusu is not as good as the crown prince of the Tang Emperor."

"What worries me is that my son Fusu is too kind and generous, and too Confucian."

"If he has this kind of personality in the current Qin Dynasty, even if he inherits my throne in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to suppress those ministers and the remnants of the six kingdoms!"

Yesterday, Qin Shihuang called Fusu into the house and prepared to have a good talk with him.

But as soon as Fusu came in, he criticized his recent policies.

They said he shouldn't have built the Afang Palace, shouldn't have brutally killed so many people, and shouldn't have...

At first, Qin Shihuang was not angry and listened carefully to Fusu's criticism of him.

But when it was mentioned later that Confucian scholars should not be killed, Qin Shihuang became angry.

Did he kill Confucian scholars at will?
These Confucian scholars are all from the old aristocratic forces of the six countries, and they still have the desire to restore their country!

These Confucian scholars used Confucianism to incite the people to rebel. Isn't it normal for me to kill them for the sake of my Qin?

But Fusu didn't understand.

Fusu only knew that he killed Confucian scholars and civilians, and his methods were too brutal.

After listening to this, Li Shimin said speechlessly:
"Is this what worries you?"

“Isn’t this something that can be easily resolved?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiangnan and Qin Shihuang looked over curiously.

"Do you have any idea?"

Qin Shi Huang asked suspiciously.

"is it hard?"

Li Shimin said.

"Didn't you say that Fusu was too kind and generous, and followed Confucianism?"

"Then send him to the battlefield!"

"Put aside his identity as Prince Fusu, and become an ordinary soldier, eating, living and fighting with those ordinary soldiers!"

"I think it won't be long before he changes."

Qin Shihuang was silent.

If you think about it carefully, what Li Shimin said seems to be true.

After entering the battlefield and realizing the cruelty of the battlefield, Fusu's kind and generous character did change.

If Fusu's benevolent and generous character changed, then his Confucian thoughts would definitely change as well.

"My God, what do you think?"

Li Shimin asked Ye Jiangnan.

"Indeed!"

Ye Jiangnan agreed with Li Shimin's method.

"However, the battlefield is ever-changing, and safety is also important."

"When the time comes, the King of Qin will probably have to arrange for someone to protect us in secret."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shi Huang bowed to Ye Jiangnan and said:

"Thank you for your guidance, Immortal!"

Li Shimin waited for Qin Shihuang to salute, but after waiting for a while, Qin Shihuang did not move at all.

"Hey, Emperor Qin, what's wrong with you?"

"I was the one who suggested this solution. Don't you want to thank me?"

Li Shimin said unhappily.

"Next time, next time for sure!"

Qin Shi Huang said with a smile.

Li Shimin: "..."

Ignoring Qin Shi Huang, he looked at Ye Jiangnan and said:
"My lord, the problem of the Emperor Qin has been solved. What about my son Gao Ming's problem..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiangnan said calmly:

"Didn't I just tell you to think carefully about what happened back then and change yourself first?"

"You can't always blame the children for the problems. You should also look for the reasons in your own bodies since childhood."

Qin Shi Huang asked curiously:

"Immortal, what did he do back then?"

Halfway through his speech, Qin Shi Huang showed a wicked smile on his face and said:
"Isn't he the same as his son?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin swung his fist and hit Qin Shihuang.

"Zhao, I'm going to beat you to death today!"

Seeing the fist about to fall, Qin Shi Huang dodged it.

"You are already the emperor, how come you don't know how to be calm?"

"I was just joking!"

Qin Shi Huang stepped aside and curled his lips speechlessly. "Humph!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly in annoyance.

He didn't really want to punch Qin Shi Huang.

If Qin Shihuang really wanted to be beaten, where could he hide?
It was precisely because Ye Jiangnan saw this that he did not try to stop it.

"By the way, I'm really curious about what he did back then."

"How can it still affect the child?"

Qin Shihuang also became serious.

Ye Jiangnan looked at Li Shimin and said:
"King Tang, do you want me to speak or should I speak?"

Li Shimin sighed and said:

"Come here, Immortal."

Li Shimin was embarrassed to say it out loud.

Ye Jiangnan nodded and said:
"You can't blame King Tang entirely for this."

"In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, the world was not yet pacified."

"The King of Tang led his troops to fight in the south and the north, and made great military achievements."

"It can be said that he conquered most of the Tang Dynasty."

When Li Shimin heard Ye Jiangnan say this about him, a hint of pride appeared on his face.

Qin Shihuang looked at Li Shimin with great surprise.

I didn't expect that the Tang Emperor was so powerful.

Not only is he good at governing the country, he is also as good as others in leading troops to fight.

"My God, what are you talking about?"

At this time, Yu Shu's voice came from the other side.

Ye Jiangnan and the other two looked over and saw Yu Shu slowly walking towards them.

Yu Shu's shiny black hair was tied into a ponytail and fell down her back.

She was wearing a black sweatshirt, blue tight jeans and a pair of white sneakers. She was slim and looked very youthful.

"This...this...is this still Princess Tuan?"

Qin Shi Huang was surprised.

"Immortal, are the clothes she's wearing still for sale?"

Li Shimin asked.

Yu Shu came over and sat directly next to Ye Jiangnan, and naturally put her arm around Ye Jiangnan's arm.

"It is Yu Shu indeed."

"The clothes she's wearing are for sale. You can go into the store and buy them later."

Ye Jiangnan first answered the questions from Qin Shihuang and Li Shimin.

Then, Ye Jiangnan said to Yu Shu:
"We are talking about Tang Wangyi's past."

"Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Yu Shu nodded and said:

"Kind of."

I was exhausted last night, it would be a lie to say I wasn't hungry.

(Author: Every time I finish, I feel really hungry and want to eat. Is this normal?)

"Okay, then you should eat something first."

Ye Jiangnan snapped his fingers, and a pile of food appeared on the coffee table.

"Have some bread and milk first."

Ye Jiangnan handed the bread and milk on the coffee table to Yu Shu.

Ye Jiangnan himself grabbed a handful of melon seeds.

Qin Shihuang and Li Shimin looked at the pile of food on the table and swallowed.

They finished the court meeting early in the morning and came to Ye Jiangnan without even having time to eat breakfast.

Until now, the two are still hungry.

Ye Jiangnan noticed the looks in their eyes and asked:

"Would you like to eat something?"

"want!"

Qin Shihuang and Li Shimin said in unison.

"Then you can take it yourself."

Ye Jiangnan said.

Qin Shihuang and Li Shimin each took their food and started eating it directly.

"Oh, this costs money."

"Then we'll deduct it from your card."

After taking a bite, Ye Jiangnan added.

Li Shimin and Qin Shihuang paused.

"Don't look at me like that. Paying for meals is only natural."

After saying this, Ye Jiangnan cracked some melon seeds and said:

"Let's continue talking about King Tang."

"A large part of the Tang Dynasty was conquered by the King of Tang."

"His contribution must be great."

"For this reason, after his father Li Yuan became emperor, because of his great contributions and not wanting to disappoint the King of Tang, he created an official title for himself - General Tiance."

"The position of General Tiance is very powerful."

"The rank of General Tiance is above the prince and the three dukes, second only to the three masters among the civil officials, and is the head of the military officials."

"Moreover, he has the highest command and decision-making authority among the military attachés."

Shock appeared on Qin Shihuang's face again.

Then, he thought of something and said:
"His father gave him such a high power, isn't he afraid that he will rebel?"

"Scared! His father Li Yuan is naturally the same as you, and has also considered this."

Ye Jiangnan spat out the melon seed shells in his mouth.

"He was trying to appease the King of Tang at the time. He was afraid that the King of Tang might have other intentions, so he gave him a lot of power."

"At the same time, in order to balance the power of the King of Tang, he gave some important official positions and powers to the then crown prince, the King of Tang's elder brother."

"Let the King of Tang's brother participate in government affairs and cultivate his own power to balance the power of the King of Tang."

"In order to weaken the power of the Tang King at the time, he transferred some of the Tang King's capable men to other places."

"In important decision-making, he deliberately suppressed the opinions of the Tang king to demonstrate his own authority."

Li Shimin, who was standing aside, was brought back to his memories by what Ye Jiangnan said.

The past events seemed to reappear before my eyes one by one.

Qin Shi Huang did not notice Li Shimin's change and said:
"So, in the end, he rebelled?"

"Yeah, almost."

Ye Jiangnan nodded.

"His brother, as the crown prince, was wary of those who held a large military force, and he kept suppressing him."

"So, under the persuasion of his confidants, the King of Tang decided to take the initiative and directly seize power by force."

"The King of Tang ambushed his elder brother at the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial Palace. He shot his elder brother to death with one arrow, and his confidant Yuchi Gong killed his younger brother Li Yuanji."

"Finally, he controlled his father and forced him to abdicate, and ascended the throne himself."

Qin Shihuang's eyes widened after hearing this.

Kill your own brother?

Killed his own brother again?
Force your father to abdicate?
Sure enough, those who can become emperors are either too stupid or too cruel.

"How many troops did you use?"

"How many casualties?"

Qin Shihuang asked Li Shimin curiously.

"Eight hundred."

Li Shimin replied indifferently.

"How much? Eight hundred?!"

Qin Shi Huang exclaimed.

"You succeeded in seizing the throne with only 800 soldiers?"
