Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 534
"Huh?" Li Tai was dumbfounded. Originally, he wanted to take Li You into the army and make what Li You said just now into a joke. Why did he support him with all his strength? It was because Li You was acting there.

So Li Tai directly asked Li You for his most valuable thing. He really didn't believe that Li You would really give him Dunhuafang. Lose everything.

But Li Tai lost his sight this time, and Li You directly offered all his hands. Of course, Li You didn't give it directly to Li Tai, but played with a word, saying that he wanted to give it to Li Shimin, because Li You was very worried. I gave it to Li Tai, this guy really wants it.

But for Li Shimin, Li You knew that he would never want it, and Li You also had his own backing when he said so resolutely that he would quit Chang'an. During this time, Changsun Wuji told Li You and Li Zhi a lot about About Li Shimin.

Changsun Wuji told Li You and Li Zhi that Li Shimin was fine in the past few years, but in recent years, as he got older, Li Shimin began to worry about the past Xuanwumen.

Although the Tang Dynasty is now peaceful and prosperous, and all nations come to court, Li Shimin is still regarded as the Khan of Heaven, but the history of him killing his brother and forcing his father is after all a stain that he cannot erase in his life.

And in the 16th year of Zhenguan, the prince Li Chengqian wanted to compete for the crown prince because of his third brother Li Tai. People will always kill them.

Li Shimin killed his brother cruelly and forced his father to abdicate, and his son, who had high hopes for him, wanted to follow his example, but at this time the sharp blade was pointed at him.

He has high hopes for him, hoping that he will become a talent, and the son who has repeatedly defended in front of the ministers will kill each other together, and even murder himself!What is this, this may be retribution.

Li Chengqian's rebellion made Li Shimin, who gained the power of the Tang Dynasty through the Xuanwumen Incident, finally encounter the situation he least wanted to face in his life. He finally realized how his father Li Yuan felt helpless when he saw his sons killing each other. .

Since ancient times, all the princes who dared to rebel were punished and killed. Refer to Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when his prince was falsely accused of rebellion, he sent a large army to suppress the rebellion. In the end, only Liu Bing survived.

It is conceivable that the royal family has no family affection since ancient times, but this time when Tang Taizong faced the reality of his son's rebellion, he still couldn't bear to hurt his beloved eldest son. In the end, he also thought that he could give his eldest son a way out, but it was a pity In the end, Li Chengqian committed suicide by himself.

The death of Li Chengqian made Li Shimin reflect on it recently. Li Shimin also felt a lot of guilt about his past incident of initiating the Xuanwumen Incident. He thought that when he just won the throne from his father, he thought that Li Yuan was helping his elder brother. Li Jiancheng has always had a very bad attitude towards Li Yuan. After becoming the emperor, he refused to let him live in the palace and forced him to go to the mansion outside.

It wasn't until later that Li Yuan often praised himself in front of others for his talent as an emperor and his meritorious service in governing the country, the relationship between father and son eased, and they were still close.

And his attitude towards his eldest brother and three younger brothers has always been very bad. Even when he first came to the throne, he changed Li Jiancheng's title from the prince level to Xiwang (prince level) and changed his third brother Li Yuanji's title from Qin Wang level to Qi Wang. The king was changed to Hailing Junwang (Junwang level), and he was given the two evil posthumous titles of "Yin" and "Thorn".

And the meaning of this word "Xi" refers to: the nature is hard to change, exaggerated.The meaning of the word stab is self-willed and ungrateful.It can be seen that he ridiculed the eldest brother and the third brother bitterly, and giving the ancients such a posthumous title can be said to be a humiliation like digging out a corpse from the cemetery after death.

But since Li Chengqian committed suicide, Li Shimin may finally understand his father's difficulties.

Moreover, his father and elder brother have been dead for a long time. Faced with this situation, Li Shimin also felt guilty. According to Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin is ready to restore Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's prince status, and he also thought about giving his stepchildren to the two princes. people.

These changes actually show that Li Shimin has begun to value family affection. Li Tai recently threatened Li Zhi, which caused Li Shimin's great dissatisfaction. fighting between.

Li Shimin doesn't want to see the fight between brothers anymore, he really doesn't want to, and because of this, Li Shimin will never let Li You leave Chang'an, Li Shimin wants to train Li You into a sword, a sword to protect Li Zhi A sword, a sword that has the power to stop brothers from killing each other.

This was Li You's reliance, he believed that Li Shimin would never let him leave Chang'an, that's why he was so calm.

Seeing that Li You said that he would hand over Dunhuafang, Li Shimin did not express his position, but Li Zhi on the other side became a little excited: "Fourth brother, you are too much!"

After Li Tai was surprised, he looked at Li Zhi slightly angrily: "Children. What do you mean by that? You just said it with your fifth brother, and you will always support me together. Now just say that I am too much." Now, your fourth brother, I have to think about whether what you said just now is true or not."

"Fourth brother, I support you from the bottom of my heart. We are brothers, but you are going to take away the foundation of fifth brother, isn't it too much?

I don't know what you are worried about, whether you are worried about Brother Wu or me.

Like you've been so worried about big brother before. "

"Shut up. It's not your turn to talk about this king's matter. What do you know..." Li Tai looked at Li Zhi and shouted impolitely.

"That's enough. Get lost. Let me get lost. No one can take Li You's things. His things belong to him and have nothing to do with any of you!" People were driven out of the Manna Hall.

Li You, Li Tai, and Li Zhi immediately escaped from Ganlu Palace with their fastest speed, and Li Shimin sighed heavily when he saw the three leaving, he was very scared at this time, and he didn't know how to be afraid. Nothing, but just fear.

At this time, Xu Hui came over gently, and silently helped Li Shimin put on a cloak. After feeling Xu Hui, Li Shimin gently grabbed Xu Hui's hand and said, "Hui'er, what do you think I should do?" What should I do? I just lost my eldest son, and now I am very afraid that I will lose my youngest son. Qingque and Zhinu are a little bit targeted.

Do I want to announce the ownership of the prince in advance? "

Xu Hui didn't speak but just accompanied Li Shimin silently, which made Li Shimin smile slightly, because the former Empress Changsun was also like this, everyone knows that a man who respects his wife always asks his wife for her opinion when there is something at home.

For example, I wanted to buy a car last year, so I went to several stores to look at the car, and the car was almost ready.Discuss with my wife, but my wife disagrees with buying a car, so I didn't buy a car.

Li Shimin is also a man, and he respects his wife, the eldest grandson, the queen.Li Shimin is also like ordinary men, he also likes to ask his wife for advice on things.

When Li Shimin encounters difficulties, he always likes to ask Empress Changsun: "My wife, how should I deal with this matter? My wife, what do you think of the minister's ability? Can you promote him? Wife, I think this minister I want to punish him for not doing things properly, do you think there is a problem?" (This matter is quoted from the "Old Tang Book": "Taizong Mijia treats him with courtesy, and often discusses rewards and punishments with his empress.")
Li Shimin liked to ask his wife what to do, but Empress Changsun let her husband ask her whatever she wanted, but she just refused to answer.Li Shimin always asked, but Empress Changsun had no choice but to say to Li Shimin: "The morning of the rooster is the only way for the family. The concubine is a woman, how dare you hear about political affairs?"

鸡, Nianpin, means female.Hen means hen. In ancient times, domestic chickens were one of the six domestic animals, while wild chickens were birds, which had nothing to do with some unspeakable occupation.Associating chickens with that unspeakable profession is a matter of modern Chinese.

Why does Empress Changsun compare herself to a hen?This incident was published in "Biography of Lie Nu", which is related to King Shang Zhou and Daji.Daji is not too bad in the records of "Shangshu" and "Historical Records".

"Shangshu" only records that "King Zhou only uses the words of his wife", and there is no mention of Daji who blows the pillow wind.

"Historical Records" only records that "King Zhou loved Daji, and Daji obeyed."In the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang's family had a historian Liu Xiang.Liu Xiang wrote the "Biography of Lie Nu", and pinned all the bad things that King Zhou did in "Historical Records" on Daji's head.Now it's all over, Daji's reputation is completely rotten.

In ancient times, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. This was an iron law.Empress Changsun quoted the allusion in "Biography of Lie Nu" and compared herself to a "chicken", which was to show Li Shimin her determination not to be Daji.

It is also to advise his husband Li Shimin not to go astray and not to repeat the mistakes of King Zhou who was obsessed with pillow wind and subjugated the country.Empress Changsun can quote scriptures and classics in one mouth, which shows that she is a talented woman with poetry and calligraphy.

Li Shimin asked Empress Changsun about politics, which was originally a good opportunity for Empress Changsun to seize power.Queen Changsun didn't say a word, which showed that she was a good queen who knew how to give up power.Li Shimin can have such a good empress who is both talented and moral, God bless Datang really!
At this time, Xu Hui was the same as Empress Changsun, not saying a word, which made Li Shimin like Xu Hui even more, unlike a talented person in the palace who knew how to play tricks and like to guess the emperor's mind.

Li Shimin actually hates this kind of person the most, so this kind of person will never be promoted in Li Shimin's hands, but there are also people who like this kind of person, and these two people are going to meet today, I don't know, this time When they meet, will the two be firmly attracted together like a magnet?
