Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Li Zhi and the others were too loud in the audience, and Li Shimin heard it.

"What are you guys muttering about?"

Li Shimin asked.

Qi Wang Li You quickly shut up.

He is very clear about his status in the palace.

In the palace, the highest status are the biological children of Empress Changsun, and then the prince and princess who Li Shimin likes.

The sisters Changle and Jinyang, and the three brothers Li Chengqian have the highest status.

Then there is Princess Yuzhang, whom both Li Shimin and the queen like.

After Gao Yang, although the queen didn't like it, Li Shimin preferred it.

Then there are other princes and princesses.

And Qi Wang Li You's status is almost the lowest.

Everyone in the palace knew that Grandpa Li You killed Li Shimin's brother.

Her mother and concubine can be said to be the remnants of the Sui Dynasty.

When Li Shimin asked, the four of them remained silent.

Li Zhi is right, but he will not file a complaint first, which seems to be intentional to suppress Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin called his name, pointed to Li Chengqian and asked, "What did the prince learn during the two years when I was not in the palace?"

The tone of the question was very rude.

Li Chengqian got up quickly, because he was too anxious, his feet were not stable, and he almost fell.

The older he got, the less flexible Li Chengqian's legs and feet became.

Li Shimin was very disgusted in his heart, but he didn't show it.

Since ancient times, there has never been a lame emperor.
"The son and minister study with the queen mother every day in the palace, learning the way of sages and sages to govern the country."

Li Chengqian replied.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and turned to ask the queen: "Is the queen supervising the prince's study every day?"

The queen said: "After the emperor went to Liaodong, the concubines asked the prince to study in the Lizheng Hall every day."

The queen knew that Li Chengqian was not good enough, so she was lazy and did not learn well in the East Palace.

Last time, Li Shimin selected some ministers to assist Li Chengqian, hoping that he would follow the good example.

Later results disappointed Li Shimin.

The queen was afraid that Li Chengqian would be punished, and it was also for his own good, so she kept Li Chengqian in the Lizheng Hall to study.

Li Shimin asked: "What have you learned about governing the country, tell me about it."

The queen waved her hand to signal the musicians to stop.

The court musicians stopped playing and stepped aside to wait.

Li Chengqian faltered and said in a low voice: "I have learned the ways of Confucius and Mencius and the skills of Huang Lao."

Li Tang respected Laozi Li Dan, so he also learned the art of Huang Lao.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Tell me, how should the Liaodong land be governed?"

Liaodong had just been defeated, and it happened to be taken out for a test.

Li Chengqian thought for a long time, with beads of sweat on his forehead, but he couldn't think of it.

He usually reads books but doesn't pay attention to them. He forgets them when he reads them, and he doesn't remember them at all.

The ministers talked about how to govern the country from time to time, but Li Chengqian couldn't remember it at all.

He only wanted to wander back to the East Palace.

"The land of Liaodong. I don't know."

Li Chengqian bowed his head and said.

Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance, Li Shimin's face became even more gloomy.

"As a prince, you should care about state affairs."

"The biggest state affairs in the past two years are my crusade against Goguryeo and reclaiming the land of Liaodong."

"As the crown prince, you should think about how to govern Liaodong, but you don't know what to ask."

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

Li Chengqian was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The queen persuaded with a smile: "Your Majesty, the governance of Liaodong is extremely complicated, and it is beyond the crown prince's ability to explain clearly."

Not to mention the prince, even the ministers in the court may not be able to tell about this matter.

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly felt that if Su Yu was the crown prince, then this Great Tang Dynasty would last forever.

It's a pity that Su Yu is a son-in-law, and he is not an official.

"What about you? Who can tell how to govern Liaodong, I will reward you heavily."

Li Shimin said.

There were more than a dozen princes present, and Li Shimin wanted to see if he could tell the reason.

Li Zhi sat there without speaking, he knew how to govern, because he hung out with Su Yu in winter and talked about many things.

But he couldn't say it, because Li Shimin knew that it was Su Yu who told him, and it was a foul.

Wei Wang Li Tai usually reads a lot, and feels that this time has come.

"Father, my son wants to try to talk about how to govern Liaodong."

Li Tai stood up and worshiped.

Seeing Li Tai get up, the queen heaved a sigh of relief.

This early opportunity was not taken away by others.

"Okay, let's hear it."

Li Shimin picked up a glass of wine, apparently in a better mood.

Li Tai said: "Eastern Liaodong has always been a land of alienation, and the Hu people have lived there for a long time."

"Father, the emperor's martial arts, destroying Goguryeo, and expanding the territory for thousands of miles, this is a long-term career."

Come up and take a rainbow fart first.

"Father's conquest of Liaodong is like Qin's conquest of Bashu."

Li Tai continued.

Li Shimin nodded, thinking that this analogy is good.

The Qin State conquered the land of Bashu back then, and had a large rear area, and the continuous flow of food and raw materials into Xianyang gave Qin the financial resources to unify the six countries in the east.

After the land of Liaodong was laid down, the reclaimed fields provided enough food, which was similar to that of Bashu in Qin State.

"The history books of King Wei are well read."

Li Shimin praised.

Li Tai was overjoyed, but Li Chengqian next to him hated Li Tai for stealing the limelight.

They agreed to deal with Li Zhi together, but in the end, this guy got the limelight by himself.

Li You cast a mocking look at Li Chengqian, meaning: This is your real brother, how about it?

Li Taixi said: "This is due to the good teaching of the father on weekdays."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, let's continue."

Li Tai continued: "I believe that we should send capable ministers to change customs and assimilate Goguryeo and Mohe people. After 20 years, there will be no Hu people in Liaodong."

"In this way, the land of Liaodong can be completely transformed into the land of our Tang Dynasty."

After listening, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Very well, your strategy is very similar to your brother-in-law's."

"Of course, it's definitely not as good as your brother-in-law."

Li Tai was ecstatic when he heard that he could stand side by side with Su Yu.

You know, what a respected position Su Yu is in the Tang Dynasty, no matter whether it is a minister or an emperor, everyone should listen to him.

Li Shimin actually compared himself to Su Yu, and Li Tai felt that he could go to heaven.

"I dare not compare myself with the emperor's brother-in-law."

Li Tai bowed.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I don't even dare to compare with this kid, you're just scratching the surface."

"Su Yu has already arranged everything when he was in Liaodong City. His strategy is unique."

Speaking of Su Yu, Li Shimin was in a good mood.

Speaking of this, Li Shimin suddenly remembered, and asked: "King Wei, you read a lot, I want to ask you something."

Li Tai was overjoyed, feeling that the opportunity to show off had come again.

"Please make it clear, Father."

Li Tai bowed.

Li Shimin asked, "What does Dad mean?"

The queen had never heard this word before, so she straightened her body and waited for Li Tai's answer.

Li Shimin picked up a glass of wine and took a sip.

Li Tai said with a smile: "Father is an old saying, I don't use it, it means Aye."

puff.
Li Shimin spit out the wine, then coughed violently, he was choked.

This sip of wine was too sudden, the queen and Eunuch Gao quickly patted Li Shimin on the back.

"Is the emperor all right?"

"Preach the Imperial Physician, pass on the Imperial Physician."

Li Shimin's face turned purple, he slapped the table and cursed: "It's unreasonable, I'm going to kill him."

Li Tai didn't know why Li Shimin was suddenly furious, and was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed.

He thought he was wrong.

But he remembered it right, that's what was written in the book.

The queen was baffled, not knowing why Li Shimin was acting like this all of a sudden.

The princes and princesses present knelt and kowtowed together.

The maids, eunuchs, and musicians trembled even more.

Only Li Zhi understood why Li Shimin was suddenly furious.

When hunting silly roe deer in Liaodong, Su Yu asked Li Shimin to call his father three times.

Li Zhi shouted in his heart that his brother-in-law was so brave that he actually asked the current emperor to call him father.
