Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

Li Er nodded, a look of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

Those generals had seen Li Xiao's power before, and now they all held their breath and quietly pricked up their ears.

But who would have thought, Li Xiao yelled: "I feel that the person who said that just now is extremely stupid!"

The voice fell, and the scene was silent.

Everyone looked at Li Xiao in disbelief, with deep puzzlement in their eyes.

"Your Highness, Mr. Xiao is still young, according to what I see, it's too early for him to come and listen."

Du Ruhui said expressionlessly.

As soon as these words came out, many people nearby spoke one after another.

"Mr. Du's words are very true. I'm here to discuss important national affairs. A little boy knows nothing, so he will come here to meddle."

"Your Highness, let Mr. Xiao go back to the mansion, this is not a place he can come to at his age."

"Your Highness, Mr. Xiao may be a bit heretical, but he lacks experience and experience. He can't understand this kind of national affairs at all. His Highness still thinks too highly of him."

As if poking a hornet's nest, a group of counselors and generals spoke out one after another to remonstrate.

Who can bear this?

They are either generals galloping on the battlefield, or resourceful advisers, how can they let a child tell them what to do?

If it wasn't for Li Xiao being Li Er's son, he might have been kicked out by them long ago.

Li Chengqian was expressionless at the moment, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Xiao'er!"

Li Er frowned slightly at this time, with a hint of dissatisfaction, he continued: "The people sitting here are all your elders, don't talk nonsense!"

Everyone present looked at Li Xiao with a hint of disdain.

But there was only one person with a cynical smile on his face.

He is Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling glanced at the expressions of some counselors and generals beside him, smiled even more, and suddenly said: "Your Highness, Mr. Xiao is really an interesting person, and the next thing I want to say must be even more interesting."

Hearing this, Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling thoughtfully, and then said to Li Xiao, "Tell me, why do you want to be disrespectful to the elders?"

"Father, didn't you tell me to say it? Are you blaming me?" Li Xiao looked innocent.

"I didn't let you talk nonsense!"

Li Xiao refused to accept it, and pretended to be angry: "What I said is the truth, why are you talking nonsense?"

"Since you don't agree to cut the weeds and root them out, then you should give me an explanation!"

Li Er was almost annoyed, he knew that Li Xiao would not be unrestrained.

He was so angry that Li Xiao pretended to be deaf and dumb, and even took the opportunity to scold the officials once.

Originally, he asked Li Xiao to come here because he liked Li Xiao's intelligence, and he wanted Li Xiao to get acquainted with his confidantes and leave a good impression so that it would be convenient for him to act in the future.

But Li Xiao's words made his plan go to waste, and even had the opposite effect.

How does this make him angry?

Call this kid stupid, but he was able to tie up the entire Eastern Palace by himself.

Let's say this kid is smart, it seems that he doesn't know what emotional intelligence is.

All in all, Li Xiao is in his heart, more than smart, but not enough city.

While Li Xiao was still thinking about how to organize his words, he suddenly heard a system prompt.

【Ding!Congratulations to the host for successfully dismantling the stage, and a random blueprint will be rewarded! 】

Ok?

Is this the downfall?

Li Xiao was in a fog at the moment, he just uttered a dirty word, how could there be a reward?

But he didn't know that Li Er wanted him to make friends with his confidants, but he stopped him with a word.

"say!"

Seeing that Li Xiao was silent, Li Er became a little impatient.

"Father, I want to ask you a question..." Li Xiao looked at Li Er calmly, "What do you think is the most important thing for the ruler of a country?"

Chapter 7: This is not a child, it is clearly an old fox!

Hearing this, Li Er's face turned dark, why did he ask him back.

Li Er didn't bother to talk to Li Xiao at all, so he kept silent.

Seeing this, Li Xiao smiled slightly: "Father, it's the heart of the people!"

"Some people say that the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and I think this is absolutely true."

"And the common people are naturally willing to support a benevolent king."

"If the father just came to the throne, he would wantonly clean up the court and the army, what would the people think?"

"Looking at the many glorious dynasties in history, which one did not lose the hearts of the people, which led to complaints everywhere. At this time, if someone stands up to rebel, there must be a response from everyone."

"Father, you are about to ascend the throne. As the first emperor, you should pay more attention to the gathering of people's hearts."

"If the ex-prince's lineage is exterminated, it will make people think that the father is cruel and merciless, and he is an out-and-out tyrant!"

After speaking, Li Xiao looked at Li Er quietly.

Hearing Li Xiao's words, everyone was silent for a while.

There was a hint of surprise in everyone's eyes.

They naturally understand this truth, but it's also very vague, and they can't explain it so clearly like Li Xiao.

This five-year-old child can see more thoroughly than them.

"Hehe, Mr. Xiao, what you said is very reasonable, but I want to ask you a question, the former crown prince has so many sons, should they be let go?"

Du Ruhui chuckled at this moment, with a bit of disdain in his eyes.

"Mr. Du." Li Xiao looked over, called out politely, and then said: "Of course the princes can kill, but what's the point?"

"They are the source of the chaos. Only by getting rid of them can we be sure that nothing will go wrong. Even if someone rebels in the future, it will come from nowhere. How can we respond to everyone?"

Du Ruhui looked at Li Xiao confidently.

"But what if someone pretends to be the orthodox former prince? Is there any difference between true and false? The common people just believe it." Li Xiao's tone was flat.

"This……"

Du Ruhui frowned instantly and fell into deep thought.

Not only him, but everyone also looked thoughtful.

They were really shocked by Li Xiao's words.

Indeed, as Li Xiao said, if someone stands up to rebel in the future, claiming to be the son of Li Jiancheng, and the royal family is orthodox, I am afraid that there will be many people in the world to follow.

Because the common people can't tell the difference, they only think that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a business.

"Humph!"

Du Ruhui snorted coldly, a little displeased.

But he also knew that Li Xiao was right, and he had no chance to refute on this issue.

After thinking for a while, Du Ruhui continued, "Do you know how many officials the former crown prince has in the court? They almost control half of the court. If His Highness the King of Qin wants to ascend the throne, how can he rule the country with peace of mind if he doesn't replace these people? Don?"

"Mr. Du, do you know how many loyal members of the former prince are hidden in the court?"

"If you want to clean it up, it will only scare the snakes and make them hide deeper. If someone uses the name of the former prince to rebel against them in the future, they will be the most terrible cancer!"

Li Xiao was neither humble nor overbearing, and calmly dealt with it.

Du Ruhui frowned: "According to what you're saying, not only don't you clean up, but you also want to reward people from the former prince's family? I'm afraid this will chill the hearts of all the heroes in Tiance Mansion!"

Li Xiao shook his head: "No, no, Mr. Du, don't make up your mind, I didn't say to reward them."

"Then what do you want to do?" Du Ruhui stared at Li Xiao closely.

If you look closely, you can see that there is a deep shock in his eyes.

He never thought that he was no better than a child.

This old face is all lost.

What should I do?

Li Xiao had already made up his mind, but he was not in a hurry to answer.

He glanced at Li Chengqian imperceptibly.

But he found that Li Chengqian's expression did not fluctuate in the slightest.

This made his heart a little bit dignified.

The reason why he was so flamboyant just now was because he wanted to leave an impression that he had no city mansion.

The second is to deliberately stimulate Li Chengqian, wanting to see his reaction.

The result was the one that Li Xiao didn't want to face the most.

Li Chengqian is the most difficult person to deal with without showing any signs of happiness or anger.

Seeing that Li Xiao was silent, Du Ruhui questioned, "Why is Mr. Xiao silent? Do you have nothing to say?"

Seeing this, some counselors also spoke on Du Ruhui's side.

"Hehe, of course he has nothing to say. He wants to eradicate future troubles, but he can't kill him. He also needs to win people's hearts. How can there be a way to have the best of both worlds?"

"As the saying goes, you can't have both, and you have to give up some relatively light ones. I think people can be killed first, but they can't be blatantly killed, which can create accidents."

"Young Master Xiao's words are indeed very reasonable, but you are still a bit young, and you only see the surface when you look at things, but you don't know that keeping them is the biggest disaster."

……

Among the advisers, almost none of them stood by Li Xiao's side.

Hearing these contemptuous words, Li Xiao didn't pay attention, just chuckled lightly, and then said, "Who says there is no way to have the best of both worlds?"

Hearing this, Li Er said with surprise in his eyes, "Keep talking!"

"Father." Li Xiao clasped his fists at Li Er, and then said, "I didn't say that I would not kill the prince, but they are more useful alive than dead, and it will not be too late to kill them when they are used up."

"Let them live and rebel when the time is right?" Du Ruhui shook his head.

"Hey, as expected of Mr. Du, he guessed my idea right away." Li Xiao smiled.

"absurd!"

Du Ruhui was furious.

"Father." Li Xiao ignored Du Ruhui, and continued, "Not only do you want to keep the sons alive, but you also want to let them leave the capital!"

"Why?" Li Er was puzzled.

"Because they are orthodox! At least in the minds of those shadowy ex-princelings."

Having said this, Li Xiao's complexion gradually became serious.

"Once they know that Li Jiancheng's son is still alive, they will definitely contact him and take action."

"You want to..." Li Er thought thoughtfully in his eyes.

He is not a stupid person either, he had some guesses about Li Xiao's words at the first moment.

He paused, and continued: "You want to send someone to spy on you?"

Li Xiao nodded: "That's right, in this way, every word and deed of the enemy is under our control."

"It not only avoids the brain drain of the imperial court due to wanton purges, but also truly finds the former princelings who have evil intentions."

"In the end, the father can win people's hearts because of his benevolence."

As soon as these words came out, almost all the counselors were stunned, with shock on their faces.
