582 Chapter 579 Is Zhang Zhen Really Wrong
When Empress Changsun finished reprimanding Changsun and rushed out, everyone bid farewell.
Li Shimin did not keep Lin Xuan and others, but kept Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong.
It was still Li Chengqian who personally sent Lin Xuan and others out of the palace gate.
Princess Gao Yang got into the carriage, just as the maid was about to put down the curtain, Chang Sun Chong said, "Wait, I'll take the carriage too."
With that said, under Princess Gao Yang's surprised eyes, she got into the carriage.
When the carriage started, Chang Sun Chong looked at Princess Gao Yang and asked, "You complained to the Empress, right?"
Princess Gao Yang said: "It's all because the maid accidentally slipped her tongue. How could I go to sue and show Chang Le and the others a joke?"
Chang Sun Chong was a little suspicious. Could it be that Princess Gao Yang didn't say it?
It's not that he trusts Princess Gao Yang so easily, but that he knows that Princess Gao Yang has hatred for Princess Changle, so for the sake of face, he probably won't say this.
"I hope you didn't say it, so we can still respect each other." Chang Sun Chong said coldly.
……
Li Shimin led Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong to the sweet dew point, and after having someone bring tea, he said to Li Mu: "Let everyone retreat, no one is allowed to approach within ten steps of the main hall."
"Yes."
Li Mu led the maids and eunuchs serving in the main hall out, and explained Li Shimin's words.
Outside the nectar point, the forbidden army scattered in all directions, full of murderous aura.
In the hall, Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong's expressions remained unchanged, but there was a trace of solemnity in their eyes.
By doing this, Li Shimin obviously had something confidential to tell them.
No matter what they say, it may not be a good thing for them.
"Do you think I did something wrong?" Li Shimin asked.
"What is your Majesty referring to?" Li Daozong asked carefully.
"I'm talking about the crown prince. I appointed Gao Ming as the crown prince, but I doted on Qing Que too much, which caused Qing Que to have wrong thoughts. Do you think I did something wrong?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong looked at each other, speechless.
It's about Chu Jun, what can they say?
Once this kind of thing happens later, it will be beyond redemption for them.
Li Shimin looked at the two of them and said, "You are all my cousins. There are only three of us here. If there is nothing to say, I forgive you for your innocence."
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong knelt directly on the ground.
What are you talking about, if you say that the eldest son should not be too fond of other sons?
You know, Li Shimin himself is not the eldest son.
In this way, doesn't it mean that they support the eldest son's succession, so what is Li Shimin?Rebellious ministers and thieves?
Li Shimin looked at the two of them and said, "I have said it, I forgive you for your innocence, why don't you believe what I say? Li Xiaogong, you have been obsessed with women all these years, don't you just want to hide your power and bide your time? Isn't it because your father suspected you back then?" Is it? I hinted to you many times to lead the army, but you keep refusing, are you really so small-minded?"
"I dare not." Li Xiaogong lay on the ground and did not dare to lift his head.
"You don't dare? I think you are very daring? You two are the only people available to the imperial clan. You don't want to be in power. Now there is only Daozong. After a hundred years, the imperial clan is weak. How can we check and balance those ministers?" Li Shimin said with a cold face.
In any dynasty, there are many groups, such as clan, relatives, family and so on.
Only by checking and balancing each other can the court be stable. Once a certain party is too weak or too strong and breaks this balance, it is not a good thing.
In history, Wu Zetian was able to become the queen, and later became the emperor, which had nothing to do with the clan's influence in the court, and it was not unrelated.
Li Shimin's direct brothers were all killed by him, and the rest of the brothers were guarded by him. They didn't have much power at all. Several of them were implicated in the treason case and were executed.
When Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, both Li Chengqian and Li Tai were turned into ordinary people, and Li Ke and others were framed and killed by Changsun Wuji.
The power of the clan in the early Tang Dynasty can be described as weak, only Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong are capable.
One died before Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, and Li Daozong was also exiled because of his involvement in the treason case of his wife's wife, and died of illness halfway.
At that time, the power of the clan was almost non-existent.
When Changsun Wuji's relatives are all overthrown, who can stop those things from happening?
"I asked you to speak, just to hear your opinions. I can't believe what other people say." Li Shimin looked at the two of them and said.
"Your Majesty, since this is the case, I will say it. I have a few words that I have been wanting to say for a long time, and I can't vomit them quickly. Your Majesty has said so. Even if Your Majesty executes me afterwards, I will say it."
Li Dao got up and bowed to Li Shimin, and said, "Has Your Majesty forgotten the tragedy of the Xuanwu Gate?"
Li Xiaogong's face changed drastically, and he tried his best to show his face to Li Daozong, but Li Daozong didn't seem to notice it.
Li Shimin's face became gloomy, and he said, "You also think it's wrong for me to treat you?"
Li Daozong shook his head and said: "No, it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong. If it is true to pursue right and wrong, the person who is wrong is the Taishanghuang. Since the Taishanghuang has appointed the prince early, he should remove His Majesty's military power and let His Majesty go Fiefdom. Heavenly family has no relatives, and His Majesty wants father to be kind and son to be filial, how is that possible?"
Li Daozong's words were outrageous, but Li Shimin didn't say anything.
It was indeed like that at the beginning, as long as Li Yuan took over the military power when he was unprepared and let him become a vassal, there was really nothing he could do.
Many people were misled by "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", thinking that more than half of the Tang Dynasty was brought down by Li Shimin.
And Li Jiancheng has been sitting in the rear.
In fact, although Li Jiancheng was in the rear, he also led the army to fight a few battles, and his military talents were not much worse than Li Shimin's.
Not only that, Li Jiancheng sits in the rear and has been supplying money, food and arms to the front army, which shows that he also has great talent in internal affairs.
Before Liu Bang entered Shu, he didn't even have a decent territory. It was because Xiao He tried every means to ensure the supply of food and grass that Liu Bang's grassroots team did not fall apart.
Otherwise, even if Liu Bang has a counselor like Zhang Liang, who has no land or food, who will mess with him?
Li Jiancheng was able to guarantee the supply of food and grass ahead, which made the Li family seize the world so quickly.
It's not as useless as in "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".
Li Daozong continued: "The Emperor Taishang wanted to achieve a balance between His Majesty and Prince Yin by means of balance, but isn't Prince Yin afraid of His Majesty? If His Majesty doesn't do anything, Prince Yin will also do something to His Majesty after he ascends the throne, so my minister It is said that both His Majesty and Prince Yin are right, and it is the Supreme Emperor who is wrong."
"But ask yourself, Your Majesty, isn't what you are doing now the same as the Supreme Emperor back then?" Li Daozong said.
"Qingque is not the same as I was back then, so it is impossible for the situation back then to happen." Li Shimin said.
Li Daozong said lightly: "The current prince is not the original prince."
Li Shimin trembled all over. He has been restricting the rights of the kings and Li Chengqian.
The purpose was to avoid the reappearance of the Xuanwu Gate incident, but they ignored that Li Chengqian and Li Chengqian were not the same as they were back then.
