I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

This made his attitude clearer.

Why... don't ask others, but Li Zhi?

Although from a process point of view, this is quite a matter of course - after all, Li Zhi's current official position is to advise and advise the doctor, and he has the right to speak out on these matters.

Can…

After all, he still has the status of a prince, and he is still a prince with great competitiveness in the position of prince.

But now, the purpose of Li Shimin asking such a person who may become the prince to answer this question is already very obvious.

That night, Li Tai couldn't hold back, and kowtowed to his father late at night.

inside the house.

There are two people, one old and one young, one sitting and the other standing respectfully.

The one who spoke first was the older and more experienced person: "You came to see me late at night, is it for the prince's business?"

"Yes." Li Tai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his father to be so straightforward, but he still replied honestly.

Li Shimin waved his hand, motioning for Li Tai to continue talking.

"Father." Li Tai took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down as much as possible, but he only uttered two words, and his tone was still uncontrollably excited, "I don't understand."

"Why do children prioritize doing good when it comes to talent, learning and moral character?"

"Father is so partial to doing good?"

Li Shimin smiled lightly.

Only learned from him.

Morality... At most, Li Tai is half a catty, and Li Zhi is nine taels. It can only be said that the two are not bad, and Li Zhi is slightly better, but if Li Tai is superior to Li Zhi, then he will deny it.

Your own children, you know best.

"After thinking about it, I definitely think that Zhinu is the best candidate to be the prince." Li Shimin nodded, without denying Li Tai's words.

Li Tai pursed his lips, still unwilling: "Why!"

He really couldn't think of where he lost.

He didn't even have a chance of fair competition as he thought.

"In terms of talent and learning, you are better than a young slave." Li Shimin sighed and explained softly.

"In terms of ambition, not to mention, even when I was young, I'm afraid I can't compare to you."

When Li Shimin was young, he really never thought about becoming an emperor. He just thought... that he should go, and he did have the ability to be a hero like Huo Qubing.

Even if Li Yuan broke the ground and became emperor, he never thought about it at the beginning.

until…

There are more and more vassals around him, and Tiance has more and more talents, so he came up with such an idea.

Li Tai was annoyed, but a little pride welled up in his heart. Sure enough, in his father's heart, he was still better than Li Zhi.

But he couldn't understand why...

Such an excellent self, but in the eyes of his father, has become an incorrect answer. Why is Li Zhi, who is inferior, has become his father's favorite.

Li Shimin raised his hand and tapped on the table lightly: "But that's where the problem lies."

"You are too ambitious."

Li Tai's face froze, and his eyes slowly filled with doubt and shock. As a person who aspires to be an emperor, in this kind of change that has never been seen in a thousand years, is it a bad thing to be ambitious?

Isn't it because the more ambitious you are, the better Tang Dynasty will become?
"If you were, how would you deal with Zhengyang?" Seeing the doubt in Li Tai's eyes, Li Shimin waved his hand and asked a question.

Li Tai pursed his lips, opened his mouth, and closed it again.

Of course, his ambition is not only to be powerful in the Tang Dynasty, but also to be powerful as an emperor - if it were him, he hoped that everything in the world would be his own.

Everyone obeys the will of the glorious and great, and no one will disobey him, or... someone can share his great and glorious aura.

If he becomes emperor.

Of course he wanted to attack Yin Xuan, not to mention completely pressing Yin Xuan to death, at least... he also wanted to make Yin Xuan a real idle prince.

Li Shimin smiled lightly and shook his head: "Look, you have something in your heart."

"This kind of ambition should not exist."

Li Tai was very unconvinced: "Shouldn't we do this?"

Like a rebellious young horse, he hoofed towards his father.

"If more than ten years ago, my thoughts would be the same as yours."

"But now I have seen too many things clearly. Everything in the world can move, except Duke Zhengyang."

Li Shimin shook his head, looked into his son's eyes, and slowly explained.

Li Tai was still not convinced.

"Anyone in this world can be missing, including me." Li Shimin raised his hand and pointed at himself, "Only Zhengyang cannot be missing."

"I believe that my ability is better than that of Emperor Qin and Han Wu."

"But... I can't bring the current prosperous scene to Datang. This is what Zhengyang did. You and my father and son, I will tell you something from the bottom of my heart."

"If the person sitting on this throne is not Zhen, but other emperors, as long as it is not a bastard like Han Ai and Ru Ziying, it will make no difference who will be the emperor."

"Han, Hamming?"

"Even Emperor Yang of the Han Dynasty, there will be no difference."

Although Emperor Yang of Han had the posthumous title of "Yang" like Emperor Yang of Sui, it does not mean that Emperor Yang of Han was as tyrannical and inhuman as Emperor Yang of Sui, but because Emperor Yang of Han was only one year old when he came to the throne. , and he passed away... Only eight months later, he died of a serious illness two months later.

Li Shimin took this person as an example.

It was to explain to Li Tai that the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty was actually in a dispensable state—although it was somewhat inappropriate for Li Shimin to spit out such words.

嗏

Li Shimin believes that this is the truth.

Nothing to be ashamed to admit.

Having a tacit understanding of the emperor like myself can save Yin Xuan some means, and can also make Tang Dynasty more peaceful, but...not as capable as myself, as long as he is peaceful, nothing will happen.

Most importantly, he trusted Yin Xuan.

I don't think Yin Xuan will become a character like Wang Mang - at least Wang Mang has been conscientious and dedicated before usurping the throne, while Yin Xuan will only lie down, looking like eating and waiting to die.

Not afraid of incompetent heirs.

most afraid of...

It's just like Li Tai, who feels that he has the ability, so he insists on surrendering the real dragon Yin Xuan.

Provocatively, it really ignited the anger of the real dragon, so what should I do?

Li Shimin pays for himself, if Yin Xuan turns against him, the possibility that he can deal with Yin Xuan is not necessarily half full.

As for Li Tai, he has some thoughts and methods, but after all, he is still very immature. If something he is not sure of falls into his hands, he can only say that there is no hope at all.

Every dynasty has its end.

Li Shimin didn't want the Tang Dynasty to die in the second generation like the Qin Dynasty.

So considering this issue, Li Shimin prefers his own son who is regarded as benevolent and cowardly.
