Datang: Encouraging Li Er to rebel, being overheard

Chapter 21 Fair Treatment
"Chengqian, what do you think the people in Shandong should do?"

"what?"

Li Chengqian, who was called out inexplicably, looked up at Li Shimin in shock, like a student in later generations who was suddenly called to answer a question, a little at a loss.

[Is this asking me to answer political questions? 】

[If I say anything wrong, will I get clicked? 】

[No matter how I say it, I am also Li Shimin's son, so I shouldn't die, right? 】

Listening to these thoughts, Li Shimin couldn't laugh or cry.

"Don't worry, feel free to say anything you want. You are still just starting to get in touch. Even if you say something wrong, I won't blame you."

With these words, Li Chengqian quickly calmed down, lowered his head and frowned, and pondered for a while.

"It's actually quite simple."

"Then let me tell you my opinion."

Li Chengqian thought for a while, and tried his best to speak more tactfully.

"I think the situation in Shandong only needs to eliminate the prejudice against them. As for those who want to make trouble, under the appeasement of the lenient policy, they can't make trouble at all."

Before Li Shimin could speak, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were stunned. They couldn't make a fuss about Li Chengqian's words, they looked at each other and asked him.

"Where did this come from?"

After all, when Li Chengqian talked about it, he was very confident.

In his opinion, it seems absolutely impossible for Shandong to make trouble.

[How should I answer this? 】

[Is it possible to tell you that I know that things are going like this? 】

After struggling in his heart for a while, Li Chengqian spoke after deliberating.

"Enlighten the policy and let them have enough food and clothing. Unless their brains are flooded, who is willing to take risks?"

"Since ancient times, as long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, the rule will never be shaken. In fact, what the people want is nothing more than this, which is very satisfying."

"So the domestic situation has basically stabilized now."

"And if you want the imperial court to get more sages, you have to treat them equally."

Listening to Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin kept nodding his head, and felt particularly comforted by his son's words of governing the country.

This is his good son, even if it is the words of governing the country, he can also talk with eloquence. At this moment, Li Shimin put his hands behind his back, and a little smile appeared on his face.

But then Li Chengqian's heartfelt voice was heard, which made Li Shimin's face darken.

[However, the current decision-making mechanism of the imperial court is really bad. If there is no adjustment, the Tang Dynasty will definitely burp! 】

Loyalty is harsh, what Li Chengqian was thinking in his heart was indeed the truth, and it was the most important thing right now, but Li Shimin felt a little upset when he heard it, so he slapped Li Chengqian on the head.

This slap not only made Li Chengqian feel dazed, but also Fang Xuanling and the two of them looked at each other in blank dismay. In their opinion, Li Chengqian's remarks just now were very correct, and they didn't know why Li Shimin got angry.

His chest rose and fell slightly, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian.

"Go ahead and talk about what you think now and about the current solution in the future."

"Father, this is not good, I am only very old, and now..."

Pursing his lips, Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin with a wry smile. For some reason, his heart skipped a beat at this moment, with an ominous premonition.

What I just did seemed to go too far.

I couldn't hold back for a while, talking too much, Li Shimin couldn't be suspicious, right?

"And Dad, how old am I now, and the situation is so chaotic, how can I see clearly? Right?"

Li Chengqian tried his best to appear pitiful and didn't know much about the political affairs of the court.

Although Li Shimin is the prince now, it has not been long since he became emperor.

A few more days at most.

If he is too sharp now, then even if he is Li Shimin's son, he will still be unable to escape.

Li Shimin was silent for a long time, looked at Li Chengqian, narrowed his eyes slightly to stare at him, and then spoke lightly after a while.

"Well, that's true, but these are all from our own people, there are no outsiders, you can speak freely, just say what you want to say."

"No, no, my suggestion is just to treat them fairly."

After speaking, Li Chengqian shut his mouth and occasionally interjected a sentence, but what he said was not very important.

After Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui talked with Li Shimin and left, the father and son sat face to face in a room.

[As expected of Fang Mou Du Juan, although these seem to be the team members of the Prince's Mansion, they are all the elites of the Tang court in the end. 】

[Li Er, this guy wanted to be emperor from the very beginning, and I'm afraid he was quite dissatisfied with Li Jiancheng. 】

[Why do I always feel that he killed Li Jiancheng, and becoming an emperor can't be changed no matter what. 】

To himself, Li Chengqian didn't notice Li Shimin's face gradually darkened in front of him.

Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin put one hand on Li Chengqian's shoulder and patted it a few times, and said meaningfully.

"Chengqian, are you interested in visiting the vicinity of Chang'an with Dad?"

[Going to see near Chang'an?Why don't you take care of your national affairs and talk with me? 】

Li Shimin resisted the urge to beat him up, and continued in a low voice.

"People's lives are suffering, and most of the voices heard by others are untrue. If you want to know the real living conditions of the people, you still need to conduct field investigations."

"Well, I see, Dad."

Nodding his head feebly, Li Chengqian was speechless in his heart.

[I can't see anything when I go down to investigate. I know that you must be prepared in advance if you want to go there. 】

[Do you really think those people are fools and will let you find clues? 】

Li Shimin frowned, took Li Chengqian out, and went straight to the suburbs without notifying anyone.

[Since you didn't tell them? 】

[It's not like, is Li Er so low-key now? 】

Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian who was muttering softly beside him, his face darkened slightly, and he slapped him on the forehead.

Looking at Li Chengqian who was covering his head, Li Shimin snorted softly.

"Why are you in a daze there? Follow behind obediently."

Nodding, the father and son walked among the fields.

There are old farmers working in the fields in Chang'an, and some children are playing in the fields. The aroma of soil and grass fills the nose. Li Chengqian took a breath and was in a pretty good mood.

While watching the scenery, Li Chengqian's foot slipped, and with a loud cry, he fell into the mud pit.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw that he had fallen into a dog eating shit, he didn't hold back immediately, and laughed, standing where he was without going up to help.

"Chengqian, I know it's inevitable for you to be a little excited when you come out, but you also have to watch the road, look, you just fell, right?"

"Bah, bah, bah! There's a lot of dirt, it stinks."

[The current road is really bad, what kind of development can this road have? 】

[If you want to get rich, build roads first, the roads are not good, no wonder the people suffer. 】
