Chapter 593 Worry
"Why does the aristocratic family help me so wholeheartedly? I know that the aristocratic family rarely participates in such matters." Li Tai said with bright eyes.
Li Tai was born in the royal family, and he knows a lot about many things under the influence of his ears and eyes.
According to historical records, Li Tai was extremely talented and intelligent, otherwise he would not be so favored by Li Shimin. After Li Chengqian rebelled and was demoted, Li Shimin even moved the idea of making Li Tai the crown prince.
Naturally, he would not be so naive as to think that the aristocratic family helped him because of how loyal they were to him.
"Your Highness should be very clear about what happened back then. The family first supported Prince Yin, and later turned to support His Majesty, but they failed to help His Majesty at the critical moment, so that His Majesty is now suppressing the family in many ways. The family has learned from previous lessons and now supports him. Your Highness, naturally we must do our best to support His Highness, and I only hope that His Highness will not forget the merits of the family when he visits the Great Treasure," Han Wen explained.
What he said can be described as seven truths and three falsehoods.
At the beginning, the family supported Li Jiancheng, but later turned to support Li Shimin.
What I think in my heart is nothing more than hope that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin will fight each other, and they will have the best of both worlds.
If the two brothers fight fiercely, the power of the Tang Dynasty will be greatly damaged, and the power that the aristocratic family can control will also increase greatly.
Li Shimin naturally knew this, but the situation at the beginning did not allow him to think too much, so he could only pretend to be a snake.
It was also that time that Li Shimin really saw the face of the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family will always only have the family in their hearts.
In addition, the aristocratic family is too powerful and poses a great threat to the centralization of power. With Li Shimin's character, it is natural to suppress the aristocratic family.
It's just that Li Tai is not very clear about these things.
It is such half-truths and half-false words that can be trusted.
If the Hanwen said that Li Tae-xiong is the only one who is careless and that the family is helping him so wholeheartedly, I am afraid that Li Tai himself would not believe it.
Li Tai pondered for a while, noncommittal, and said: "Let's find a way to stay in Chang'an first. If you can't stay in Chang'an, it's meaningless to talk about it."
Han Wen was overjoyed. Although Li Tai didn't express his opinion, he didn't refuse, which showed that Li Tai was moved.
There are some things, I am afraid that you will not be tempted, as long as you are tempted, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
"Next, it's up to His Highness." Han Wen said.
"This king understands, you go down first." Li Tai said.
"Yes, my subordinate will leave." Han Wen bowed and retreated.
Li Tai sat in the main hall, thinking for a long time, and shouted: "Come here."
The confidant eunuch Fang Zhong walked in and saluted, "The old slave is here."
"My king wants to take a bath, let someone prepare cold water and send it to the bathroom." Li Tai ordered.
"Yes, old slave, this will make people prepare to be hot..."
Speaking of this, Fang Zhong was stunned, and asked, "What did your Highness just say about cold water?"
"That's right, it's cold water. Get someone to prepare it now. You've served me for many years, so you should know what to do?" Li Tai looked at Fang Zhong and said.
"Yes, the old servant will arrange it now. Don't worry, Your Highness, no one will talk too much." Fang Zhong said quickly.
It is only March now, and although the weather has warmed up, it is still relatively cold.
Not to mention a pampered prince like Li Tai, even if those soldiers take a bath in cold water, they may not be able to bear it.
But Fang Zhong worked in the palace in his early years and understood a truth, just do what the master ordered, and don't ask too much.
I don't know how many eunuchs and court ladies die in the palace every year. Are all those people executed for making mistakes?
No, there are many people who knew what they should not have known, and were silenced.
If you want to execute an eunuch and maid, don't be too simple, you can execute them with a little excuse, and there is no one to ask.
……
In the evening, Li Shimin came to Lizheng Hall and had dinner with Empress Changsun.
Although he usually stays at the Lizheng Hall, most of the time he comes over in the middle of the night.
After all, he had to deal with so many things every day, and he didn't have time to dine with Empress Changsun at all.
Although the ancient emperors were supreme, they were not as good as people thought.
Before the ministers got up, I got up first, and when the ministers were asleep, I did not sleep.
Why is the rich man in the south of the Yangtze River still wearing a quilt when he is three feet high every day?
This is a poem written by Zhu Yuanzhang, which expresses the hardships of the emperor.
Of course, the premise of all this is a generation of Mingjun.
If you are like those emperors who like to study calligraphy, work as a carpenter, or have not been in court for decades, it is really cool to be an emperor.
But if you want to be a Mingjun, you are destined to endure these.
Even so, not many people can do it.
Many wise emperors in history began to enjoy it in the later period.
The most famous of them is Li Longji.
Li Longji created the famous "Kaiyuan Prosperity".
The prosperity of Kaiyuan was far better than that of Zhenguan. Of course, it cannot be said that Li Longji is better than Li Shimin, only that the situation is different.
After creating a prosperous age, Li Longji gradually became satisfied and indulged in pleasure.There is no previous spirit of hard work, nor the thrifty style of reform.
Later, she favored and trusted Concubine Yang, and tried her best to please Concubine Yang.
Later, the Anshi Rebellion occurred, which turned the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline.
It can be said that although the prosperity of Kaiyuan brought Datang to its peak, it also laid the roots for the demise of Datang.
In fact, can Li Longji be blamed for this?
If you know the life of the emperor, you will know that he would get up before dawn to go to the court, and the ministers could go back to sleep when the court was over, but the emperor had to review the memorials.
There are so many beauties in the harem waiting for the emperor to pamper them, it can be described as very busy.
Think about it differently, if you were the emperor, would you be able to persevere?
But now Li Shimin is still insisting, no matter from which aspect, he can be called a good emperor.
Empress Changsun was absent-mindedly serving Li Shimin some food, but she was thinking about Li Tai in her heart.
"Guanyin servant girl, is there something on your mind?" Li Shimin asked.
Empress Changsun put down her chopsticks and said with a wry smile, "It's still impossible to hide it from Your Majesty."
"You and I have been cowardly for many years, so what is there to hide from me?" Li Shimin put down his chopsticks, he has no appetite to eat now.
"Qingque came to look for my concubine." Empress Changsun said.
Li Shimin didn't have any surprises when Li Tai came to find Empress Changsun. If Li Tai didn't come, he would be surprised instead.
Li Shimin waved his hand, Li Mu understood, and quickly called the rest of the court ladies and eunuchs to leave.
"Do you think I'm a little cruel?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.
Empress Changsun shook her head, and said: "Erlang's actions are correct, and my concubine naturally knows Qingque's thoughts, and my concubine is also worried that if this goes on, brothers will kill each other. But your majesty has not made a decision, and my concubine is not good at talking."
"It's just that Qing Que has been in poor health since she was a child. If she goes to the fief, if something goes wrong, it will be troublesome."
Rationally, Empress Changsun understood that it was the best way for Li Tai to go to the domain.
But as a mother, I naturally hope that my son will stay with me.
If this is the case, even if Empress Changsun is reluctant, she will not reveal it.
The sons of the rest of the concubines have to live in feudal lords when they grow up. As the head of the harem, she must set an example.
But Li Tai was obese since he was a child. Although Yangzhou is not very far from Chang'an, it is already very far away in terms of ancient transportation.
Once there is something, everyone may die before the news reaches Chang'an.
