"ah!"

After drinking a glass of wine, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan both shouted happily.

Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng and said with a smile: "Cheng'er, it seems that we, father and son, haven't been together and chatting like this for a long time."

"Father, you are getting busier and busier, aren't you?" Li Jiancheng took a bite of the side dish and said casually.

"You, you..." Li Yuan listened to Li Jiancheng's words and laughed angrily. "Since you grew up, Cheng'er, you have always run away from home. You have only been at home for a long time, and today you actually said it was your father's fault.

"

"hey-hey…"

Li Jiancheng saw that his lies were exposed, but he didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed.

"Why!"

Looking at Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan sighed, "In the blink of an eye, my father has become so old. I thought I would leave the world to you brothers, but you planned to leave."

"Dad, my child is not indifferent." Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuan and said seriously, "My child has an idea. After my child leaves, the Li family can be divided into two parts: light and dark. In the light, the Li family exercises the power of the emperor.

power, while the Li family in the dark is responsible for guarding the Li family."

After hearing what Li Jiancheng said, Li Yuan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Okay, this is a great idea!"

"Father, do you still remember that when you were a child in Chang'an, assassins went to the palace?" Suddenly, Li Jiancheng asked something that puzzled Li Yuan.

"I remember, of course I remember." Li Yuan said happily, "That day the guards were everywhere searching for the assassin, and my father was so worried that he checked the rooms one by one. When they finally arrived at your house, you didn't respond no matter what my father called you.

?”

Speaking of this matter, Li Yuan seemed to be caught up in the memories of the past again, with his head raised, eyebrows furrowed, joy, and various expressions from time to time.

After Li Yuan came to his senses, Li Jiancheng continued: "Actually, the assassin had already arrived in the child's room that time..."

"What!? Cheng'er, are you okay?" Before Li Jiancheng finished speaking, Li Yuan stood up excitedly. Although he knew that Li Jiancheng was still standing peacefully in front of him, which meant that nothing was wrong, Li Yuan still felt scared.

, Li Jiancheng was only a few years old at the time. Maybe he accidentally angered the assassin, and the consequences were really unimaginable.

"Dad, the kid is fine." Seeing Li Yuan's reaction, Li Jiancheng was moved, but he still had a calm expression on his face. "To be honest, it was thanks to that assassin that the kid was able to reach this point."

"Oh, what do you mean by this?" Li Yuan asked puzzledly.

Therefore, Li Jiancheng told the assassin that he had given him the book "Eternal Life and the Secret of the Sun" and asked him to destroy the Sui Dynasty.

Looking closely at Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan shook his head and said with emotion: "Fortunately, Chenger, you are lucky. If something happens to you, your father won't know what to do."

Li Jiancheng comforted him: "Dad, so many years have passed, so don't think too much about it. Without that experience, my child might not be where he is today."

Li Yuan nodded in agreement: "Yes, now Cheng'er, you are also a grandmaster. How many masters are there in the world?" Suddenly, Li Yuan asked again: "Cheng'er, what do you decide to do with this book "The Sun of Immortality"

"?"

Li Jiancheng thought about it carefully, and finally said solemnly: "My child wants to leave some of the skills to maintain health and prolong life to the Li family in the open world, and leave the more advanced skills to the Li family in the dark."

"Why is Cheng'er like this?" Li Yuan frowned and said in confusion.

"Dad, if you and Shimin are of good character, have profound strength, and have a long life, then they will benefit all people. However, if a cruel, cruel and low-character successor appears in the Li family, and his strength

He is so powerful, so who can subdue him?"

"This..." Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, and finally felt that Li Jiancheng's words were indeed correct, but he always felt that something was wrong.

"Of course, if people in the dark practice the technique, they will have other ideas. Therefore, the Li family in the dark must set an ancestral precept that they will not interfere with the government until a critical moment.

, then I, the descendants of the Li family, will fight against it together."

After listening to Li Jiancheng's words, Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized that he had always felt that something was wrong just now. He only thought of this after listening to Li Jiancheng's words. Now that Li Jiancheng has thought of it too, there is nothing to worry about.

Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction. With so many defenses, if the Li family couldn't last longer than the Zhou Dynasty, there would really be nothing to say.

"Actually, I still have some opinions, but they may not sound good." Li Jiancheng hesitated, and finally said what he thought.

"Haha, Cheng'er, if you have anything to say, just say it. Is there anything else that you and I can't say between father and son?" Li Yuan said nonchalantly.

"In that case, the kid said it." Li Jiancheng considered his words and said slowly: "If I want my Li family to continue for thousands of years, some customs must be changed. First of all, the emperor's concubines cannot be too

There are many things in history where brothers compete for the throne. The distant ones are like the fight between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, and the recent ones are like the fight between Yang Guang and Yang Yong. Moreover, with so many concubines, not all of them can be taken care of, so..."

Li Jiancheng did not continue what he said, and Li Yuan naturally understood, "You boy, fortunately, I only have your mother as a father. And the people of the world only have Wu Gu and Jin'er, Yuan Ji has not yet married, and Yuan Ba's character is beyond imagination.

There will be no other women in Lian'er. On the contrary, you, the boy, have so many beauties around you that even a father would be envious."

"Dad, with your current status, are you afraid that you won't have a woman?" Li Jiancheng said with a bad smile.

"Ahem..." Li Yuan, who was drinking, suddenly choked and said dissatisfied: "You are still encouraging your father and me. If your mother finds out, I will see if she doesn't slap you."

After chatting, the two continued to talk about business, "After talking about concubines, the relationship between children and grandchildren when they were young is also very important. First of all, the eunuchs in the palace should be eliminated. There are many examples of eunuchs messing up the government, so we have to kill these things at the root.

Secondly, we should let our descendants interact more with civil servants and military generals, so that when they come to the throne, they will be able to become their right-hand man because of their childhood relationship."

"Well, that makes sense." Li Yuan nodded in agreement.

"As for the last point, just..." Li Jiancheng was thinking about whether to say the last point.

Seeing him hesitating, Li Yuan suddenly became dissatisfied, "Cheng'er, when are you so hesitant? If you have any suggestions, just say them directly."

"In fact, the child thought that at a certain age, the emperor should take the initiative to abdicate, rather than grow old in his position. In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still in his seventies, but his body was not weak. His son was still in his thirties and had no hope of ascending the throne.

In the end, under the instigation of the counselors, a situation of father and son killing each other finally resulted, which is lamentable. Therefore, we have to guard against it. Of course, this also applies to the ministers of civil and military affairs, so that we can continuously inject fresh blood into the empire.

"

After listening to Li Jiancheng's words, Li Yuan was indeed shocked at first, but after careful consideration, Li Yuan also knew that what Li Jiancheng said was correct.

When an emperor abdicates the throne during his lifetime, it avoids fratricide between father and son, and is also more conducive to avoiding fratricide among brothers.

While he is still alive, if he chooses a successor and abdicates the throne to him, then there will be no overt or covert fighting between the brothers due to the sudden abdication of the previous emperor.

Moreover, while he is alive, he can also provide guidance to his successors to avoid making too many mistakes.

"Haha, Cheng'er, even my father doesn't know how you can have so many thoughts in your mind, and every thought is so sharp and incisive." Li Yuan said with a smile.

"Hey, you'll understand after reading too many books." Of course, Li Jiancheng couldn't say that he came from time travel and knew many policies.

"Okay, it's getting late. I still have some things to deal with as a father, so you should go back first."

"Dad, take care of yourself and don't be too tired." Seeing that Li Yuan still had to deal with things, he shook his head helplessly. Finally, he left the palace after a few words of warning.

But the world doesn't know that a conversation that triggered the reform of the Tang Dynasty ended like this at an unknown time. If anyone knew that the change that had a great impact on future generations was a casual conversation between a father and his son, they would probably laugh or cry.

Looking at Li Jiancheng leaving, Li Yuan smiled and returned to the study...
