Li Er didn't expect that he could meet Li Sheng suddenly.
Originally.
The maritime merchants and the previous group of pirates broke up, and everything after this had been planned by themselves. They did not ask Li Sheng to take action. As for the reasons, there were many factors, but the decisive reasons were always simple and common. There was no
Possibility of bargaining.
For Li Er, not asking Li Sheng to take action is actually for Li Sheng's sake. Imagine if he entrusts the Tang Dynasty to Li Sheng in the future, then Li Sheng will have the highest power by then. At this time, those so-called
The great scholars also came to press today's past events, saying that Li Sheng should listen to his words and accept advice...what the heck.
Such a thing really happened in another world line where Li Sheng did not exist - Li Er and his daughter-in-law Wu Ze wrote two clan chronicles in order to ensure that the imperial power would not be ignored by the aristocratic families, and to maintain control over the empire.
of control.
As long as the real power remains in the hands of the royal family, the empire can always maintain a kind of "flexibility", that is, the possibility of launching reforms.
But if you fall into the hands of a wealthy family, it's not difficult to figure out what will happen after your death.
Of course, Clan Chronicle is essentially just a publication, and more importantly, it is just a reference book.
Use it to study and study for your children and grandchildren, and to grasp some issues in people's hearts, such as which forces belong to different groups, who is the emperor's friend and who is the enemy, who is the enemy but cannot be easily eliminated, and who is more dangerous and can be eliminated.
But it's better to unite.
However, the reference book is just a reference book after all. After the death of Li Er and Wu Zetian, the profound meaning of the clan annals and the empire were passed down to the fourth generation after the first generation Li Yuan. Li Longji could no longer interpret it. After that, the Tang Dynasty's
The government military system collapsed and farmers continued to lose their land - the final product of this trivial incident was the Anshi Rebellion.
Subsequently, the great Tang Dynasty gradually declined.
Naturally, Li Er does not have the same experience as Li Sheng, especially for this kind of historical trend, but Li Er is a legendary monarch after all - when he is made into a beautiful girl game in later generations, he will have to enter ss
The most expensive card pool.
Therefore, although he did not have Li Sheng's materialistic cognition, Li Er still felt that many things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. If the heroes at the bottom of the Tang Dynasty could become rich, would they suddenly become emperors in the future? This is impossible for anyone.
Something I dare to guarantee.
Therefore, the power must still be in the hands of the royal family, otherwise all the benefits will be taken away by this group of unscrupulous people, and the reputation of the exploiters will fall into the hands of the royal family.
At this time, if you can't do anything, it's just a dead end.
Although Li Er didn't know about the Anshi Rebellion, he still understood the basic truth that being controlled by others was equivalent to giving up your life, so he didn't want to set a precedent, so after meeting Li Sheng, he naturally started to murmur in his heart.
The location was the Lion Tower, the old place in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty. Although there was a screen between the different seats, but across the screen, Li Er felt that he was not a little confused.
What should we do?
Do you want to talk to Li Sheng?
In fact, Li Er didn't know how Li Sheng appeared in Chang'an at this time. This guy has built a manor on Qiongzhou Island that he calls a "base" since last year... Li Er is also quite confused about this matter. Since this guy is in charge
That place was called "Base", and he also named it "Blue Manor" - although he didn't know why, Li Er always felt that it smelled terrible.
But thinking about it, this "base" is probably called something like "Longxing Land", which is the so-called "basic" and "fundamental" place. But this is not important anymore. The important thing is that since Li Sheng chose to build a base on Qiongzhou Island
settle down.
——Then no matter what happens to this boy in the future, no matter how he arranges it as his father, judging from what he has seen and heard, this boy's "base" can be considered a pretty good place.
Since it is a good place, why did he suddenly come to Chang'an? Of course, Li Sheng is now an important minister of the Tang Dynasty. He has a high position but is still an idle king - this guy has a title but no position, and he has a hierarchy in etiquette and law.
It was very high. There were very few people in the Tang Dynasty who didn't have to bow obediently when they saw Li Sheng, but even though he was King Xian.
If he had gone somewhere else to play, then Li Er wouldn't have even thought about asking, let alone asking questions.
This child has outstanding abilities and talents, and at the same time his interpersonal relationships are clean. It seems that this kind of child is just a pure "other people's child". He can go anywhere without causing any trouble, and he has nothing to worry about.
But come to Chang'an, which is the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
This kind of place is naturally more sensitive. At the same time, although many people know Li Sheng's identity, it is still a secret after all. It has not really spread. But if it has not spread, the secret itself must be heavyweight.
of.
Li Sheng's appearance in Chang'an at this time inevitably makes it appear that no matter what Li Sheng is up to, no matter how much he trusts or relies on him as his father-in-law, he will inevitably appear to be suspicious.
Thinking of this, Li Er suddenly felt that it was not good for him to hide important matters from Li Sheng. On the one hand, as a king, he should not rely too much on an individual minister or a specific group of ministers.
The Tang Dynasty had made many contributions, so as the emperor, he avoided others too much. This was obviously not something that could be said favorably by others. Besides, Li Sheng was not only a minister of the Tang Dynasty, but also his biological son.
What's the problem if you trust him more and give him more opportunities to show his talent? After all, Li Sheng is a prince first.
It seems so.
Li Er couldn't help but murmur in his heart. He felt that if he asked Li Sheng for his opinion on the opening of America - and all other foreign lands that could be reached by sea, there would obviously be no problem.
But just when Li Er thought about it, he heard a burst of conversation coming from the booth next door and behind the screen.
"I didn't expect such a coincidence. The young master is so elegant, hahahahaha."
When Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, heard this voice, he couldn't help but be stunned.
I guess it sounds a bit familiar.
This is not.
Before Li Er had time to recall, he heard the most familiar voice directly outside the screen, "Lao Fang happened to be out drinking with Lao Li and the others today. I didn't expect..."
