Chapter 316 Shen An's worries
Chen An was not in a hurry at all. Anyway, according to his request, the big bomb had been prepared. Whether to use it or not, what would happen after it was used was all his own decision.
Although Xiao Xian is still a little baby and has not had a big breast, he should not let him take such a great responsibility. But since he met this child, Chen An felt that with his mind, he could understand these things.
And make the right choice for yourself. Besides, he must take into account his age. Don’t always think about his psychological age, but should be based on his physiological age.
In the Tang Dynasty, he was just a fourteen-year-old boy, and it was normal to play and play. If he thought about everything carefully, it would be too common sense.
Instead, it will arouse people's suspicion. Fortunately, in front of Li Shimin, he was not worried about this. Just like the records in history, in this era, precocious young men caught a lot of people, and it is not uncommon for young children to enter the cabinet at the age of ten. He is a little more mature, so it does not make people doubt it.
The main reason is that the age difference between him and Li Shimin is, a monarch who is forty years old and in his prime, would he suspect a 14-year-old young man who is not walking in the court?
Furthermore, he had never had any interest in the government affairs. If it weren't for the chance to save Li Zhi's life, he would never have had contact with the court, the palace, or the palace.
However, it is just a bit greedy for money. In the eyes of the emperor, this is not a disadvantage at all. What's more, he also used his knowledge to do many good things, not just good things. After a few years, Li Shimin will see clearly that what he is doing today is a great thing that has benefited from the present and future generations.
He is like this, just doing things in a silence, and bringing him laughter from time to time, and Shimin will not be afraid of people who are basically irrelevant.
Because there is no threat to him, only those who compete for power and profit with him are the targets of his focus.
Sometimes, on a quiet night with full flowers and full moon, he sat next to the Imperial Well, thinking quietly, perhaps, at this time, Li Shimin was much more at ease with him than Li Tai and the others.
No matter how well-behaved his adult sons were around him, he still couldn't feel completely at ease.
After all, one day in the future, he will always hand over power to their hands. It is precisely because of this prerequisite that the princes are looking forward to it and covet power.
As long as this coveting mentality exists, Li Shimin will not be assured of any competitive prince.
Therefore, whether it is now or in historical records, Li Shimin loved Li Zhi and kissed him one by one. It is understandable that he could not help but kiss him.
Li Zhi was the youngest son of him and Changsun. Until he had been in charge of the government for more than ten years, Li Zhi still appeared by his side as a child.
In his eyes, Li Zhi was always just a child, which was completely different from those princes who were born before he ascended the throne and had grown up.
So in the end, the fisherman gained benefits when the snipe and clam fight, Li Tai and Li Chengqian escaped one after another, leaving only Li Zhi, the most benevolent and filial child, who found a huge advantage. You should know that although from various historical records, Li Shimin has always loved Li Zhi very much, but in the past ten years, or until the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, his attitude towards the crown prince was still very unclear.
He always wandered between Chengqian and Li Tai, and it was difficult to make a choice. From time to time, he used the heroic and courageous Li Ke to set off a smoke bomb and a ghost fire.
However, at that time, he never regarded Li Zhi as a person who could take over the position. Chengqian and Li Tai were neither fools. Although their behavior was occasionally inappropriate, no father would let his adult son not consider it. Instead, he skipped them and imagined whether his young son could successfully take over the position.
Not everyone is Emperor Wu of Han. He believed in slander and killed Liu Ju, the prince who had been honest for decades. In the end, no one was available, so he bet on the little baby Liu Fuling, who could not tell the good or bad.
Li Shimin has a lot of adult sons, and there are too many choices. Moreover, Li Chengqian has the advantage of being the eldest son, and Li Tai has always been valued by Shimin.
It is hard to say that Li Shimin planned to let Li Zhi take over from the beginning, and others were shields. So, being with the king is like accompanying a tiger, and the holy heart is unpredictable, that's what it means.
Even if the biological child thinks of giving him the supreme power that ruled the empire, even if he is as wise as Li Shimin, he will inevitably have many suspicions and cannot be eliminated.
Perhaps, Li Zhi is the happiest among his brothers. At least, at this stage, he has not yet felt the ruthlessness behind Li Shimin's warmth.
In front of him, the father is always a father, no different from ordinary families. Cheng Qian, who was already in custody of the East Palace, must have been deeply touched by this.
Therefore, many times, in a treacherous environment like the palace, hiding one's weakness is the best way to survive.
Just like Li Zhi, he was obviously the smartest and most elegant among his brothers, but in his youth, because of his poor health and the youngest ranking, the image he often showed around Li Shimin was like a filial and weak child.
Whether he did this, whether it was out of his original intention or just pretending to be garlic, it seemed very effective from the perspective of his subsequent funeral.
In his youth, Li Zhi never showed his ambition to compete for the throne. Li Chengqian and Li Tai competed with each other and made their own moves, he was just a bystander.
This is hiding your weakness!
In ancient times, people matured quite early, and at the age of eleven or twelve, they might have become quite familiar with the affairs of the court. Therefore, he believed that Li Zhi had seen through the struggle between Li Tai and Li Chengqian early on, but there was no result.
Therefore, he decisively adopted the tactic of not rushing to muddy waters, but instead weakened himself, making Li Shimin ignore his ambitions.
This is a good move, and in the end he proved that he succeeded.
Thinking of this, Shen An couldn't help but feel worried about himself. Although Li Zhi is only nine years old now and is still far from thinking and making conspiracies, it is hard to guarantee that he will not have any other ideas about his behavior.
In the future, when dealing with this person, you should be more cautious.
In addition, he had another layer of concern, that is, Chen Xiang's words, wouldn't it be great to have a banquet and laugh and party with us?
He heard that this was a signal of winning over. As the savior of King Jin, although Shen An was just a small Dushui Evangelist, he could not rank at all in the official position and had no knowledge of the government.
Why did someone like him receive an invitation from Chen Xiang?
Chen Xiang is not like Fang Er, he is a perfect fool. Chen Xiang is very smart, but he just pretends to be pure and have no desires.
Although he and Chen Xiang had never had any conflicts, and even thanked him for his enthusiastic help, to be fair, this Taoist priest was definitely not as gentle and easy-going as he showed.
