Chapter 72 The Empress teaches not to forget one's heart
Yongning Hall.
"Auntie, this kid is incompetent." Li Chenglie knelt in front of Wei Gui, bowed his head and said lonely.
In fact, during this period, not only Li Chengzhao studied with the emperor, but also An Wang and others were often summoned by the emperor to the Manlu Hall for teaching.
Wei Gui looked at her grown-up son, disappointment flashed in her eyes, but in the end she did not criticize him for anything. In fact, she knew very well that if she wanted to become a prince, it all depended on whether her son could be recognized by His Majesty the Emperor. Looking at it now, it was very
Obviously his son's performance was not as good as King Qi's.
"Get up and talk."
"Yes." Li Chenglie knelt down and sat down.
Wei Gui smiled and said: "Since this matter has passed, there is no need to mention it again in the future, and you should not think about it again in the future. From today on, you will study hard and do whatever your father asks you to do."
What, if your father doesn’t ask you to do anything, you won’t do it. Remember, saints don’t like brothers fighting. Now that your fate has been determined, just forget about it.”
"Yes, I will keep this in mind." After Li Chenglie finished speaking, he added: "Mother and concubine, it's not that the child doesn't work hard, it's just that the father's requirements are too strict. Previously, the child and the mother and concubine had talked about the father's problem, and the mother
The concubine also knows that the father is an immortal saint, but the child is stupid and cannot meet the requirements of the father. The child has failed the mother and concubine after all their hard work, and the child is incompetent."
How could he not be interested in the position of prince? It's just that he really doesn't have the ability. He also knows that King Qi often visits the people, and he has learned from it, but he really doesn't understand that the Tang Dynasty is already prosperous, what should the common people pay attention to?
.It is better to practice the art of war and open up territory for the Tang Dynasty in the future.
Of course, he would not dare to say this to his mother.
Wei Gui looked at his depressed son and consoled him: "Everyone has his own destiny. All this is God's will and holy will. You don't have to worry about it."
When the position of crown prince was not determined, she had been thinking about fighting for it. Now that the candidate for crown prince had been confirmed, she was relieved.
"My child knows."
Wei Gui continued: "Please stay and have dinner today."
"yes."
The position of the prince was established. Although the girls in the harem each had their own thoughts, they did not cause any turmoil. Basically, they all knew that with the strength of the saint, it was all up to the saint to decide who became the prince. If they can't compete, they can't compete anymore.
Other small actions just cause trouble for yourself.
Changle Hall.
"My son, I pay homage to my mother." Li Chengzhao, dressed in new clothes, kowtowed to Queen Yang.
Queen Yang's face was full of joy and she said hurriedly: "My son, please get up quickly."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
After Li Chengzhao sat down, Queen Yang asked: "Can I go and thank you first?"
"Here we go, father encourages his sons to continue working hard." Li Chengzhao smiled. He has always had a good relationship with his father since he was a child, so there are no other brothers born later who are as separated from their father as they are. Moreover, there are Empress Yang and Jin
Yang's education reminds him that he deeply understands the difficulties of his father. Therefore, he has always respected and cared for his father. Because of this, there is no barrier between him and his father. Although father and son have the status of monarch and minister,
It's more of a father-son relationship.
Empress Yang nodded and said with relief, "You have finally become the crown prince."
"Yes, I did not disappoint my mother."
Queen Yang changed her tone and said, "Do you understand your responsibility?"
Li Chengzhao's face suddenly became solemn, "I never understood it before, but now I understand it. My father's teachings have made me understand. This world is based on the people. If the people are uneasy, the country will be uneasy. This
Above the court, there are many intertwined aristocratic families with intertwined interests and disputes. If you want to make me great
If the Tang Dynasty prospered for a long time, it was necessary to cut off the aristocratic families. The Weihe River workshop is the important place of the country, and the skill of the craftsmen can also benefit the people. As a prince, he should always reflect on himself and be vigilant at all times. He should not get carried away, let alone be arrogant. Whenever you do something, you must think twice before acting.
If you don’t move, you will be done; if you move, you will achieve success immediately.”
After listening to her son's words, Queen Yang nodded and said: "What you said is very good. No matter what aspect it is, it is very insightful, but I want to remind you one more thing."
"Please teach me, Queen Mother."
Empress Yang said: "Remember, you are His Majesty's son, and you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty. No matter what you do, you must put the country and the country as your first priority. You are the prince of the Li family, and you must be the one you want to protect."
Father, what you want to protect is the country of Datang. No matter when the time comes,
You can't trust the aristocratic family. You yourself know the defeat of the former Sui Dynasty, and you also understand the disaster of the aristocratic family. As a mother, I won't say more. Finally, you must always remember that you are the son of a saint, and the saint allows you to
Whatever you do, do it. If the saint doesn't let you do it, you won't be allowed to look at it."
"Yes, please keep this in mind." Li Chengzhao replied solemnly.
In fact, no need for Empress Yang to say so, Li Chengzhao also knew in his heart. His innate wisdom had already made him understand how difficult it was for his father to maintain such a huge empire, and how hard it was for his father to suppress the aristocratic family.
During these days, Li Chengzhao studied with the emperor, his mind was filled with the emperor's thoughts, and he had long regarded his father's words as truth.
"Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince." A voice came from outside. Jin Yang walked into the palace with a smile and saluted Queen Yang.
"Sister." Li Chengzhao cupped his hands.
"Sit down," Queen Yang said happily.
Li Chengzhao said: "Sister, don't make fun of me. The position of prince is not easy to achieve. During this period, I studied government affairs with my father, visited the people, and deeply understood the burden on me. In the past, the way of sages was to govern the world through education, but
But I can’t generalize. There are still too many things I lack.”
Jin Yang nodded and said: "The fact that you think so is enough to prove that you have really studied with your father attentively. If you know your shortcomings, you can improve your own shortcomings."
"Yes." Li Chengzhao paid great attention to his sister's words. He had always felt that if his sister were a man, he would not be able to impress her.
Seeing this scene, Queen Yang felt very happy.
"My son will be the crown prince one day, so he must not forget his true nature."
"Kid, I remember."
Manna Hall.
Li Zhiyun did not deal with the memorial today, but walked to the corridor and quietly looked at the majestic palace complex.
It was his well-thought-out decision to appoint Cheng Zhao as the crown prince. He had no other ideas. Moreover, he had his own considerations in doing so. First, the child had understanding and could quickly understand what he was taught and was willing to do it.
Do it and understand the truth. Second,
Cheng Zhao is the legitimate son, and it is in line with etiquette to make him the prince. There will be no chance for other sons in the future. Thirdly, Li Zhiyun has the confidence to instill his thoughts and ideas into the child and let him uphold his own thoughts. After he leaves,
, take better care of the country and the country.
Of course, the most important thing is that he cannot procrastinate any longer. His sons are all growing up. Although there is no sign of seizing the legitimate son yet, he has more than a dozen sons. As time goes by, it is inevitable that other sons will not be interested.
As a father, he didn't want to see that scene.
The lesson the late emperor gave him was still fresh in his mind. How could he not take it as a warning? What's more, the late emperor wanted to balance the deposed prince and the King of Qin to ensure his own status. But Li Zhiyun did not have this problem. It is no exaggeration to say that
, whether it is the army or the court, everything is under his absolute control.
This is no longer the time when the Tang Dynasty was first established.
During the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, his authority as a saint-emperor was unmatched by anyone.
