From Xuanwu Gate to now, Li Yuan has always been in Da'an Palace.
This matter was a heartache for Li Er.
What will happen to Li Yuan at this time?
Li Er felt slightly nervous for no reason, and said solemnly, "Say."
"The Supreme Emperor said... that he wanted to see His Majesty. But at this time, we... uh, thought that His Majesty had gone to bed, so we said that His Majesty was gone, but the Supreme Emperor..."
"The Emperor said that he must see His Majesty, and there is nothing I can do about it, so..."
Li Er nodded. He had told him a long time ago that it was no big deal. If Li Yuan wanted to see him, he would try to find an excuse to avoid it.
After all, meeting each other is not always pleasant.
But this day, my father must see me... What will happen?
Li Er shook his head and stood up.
Although I don't know what the situation is, since it is late at night and I have to see myself, it means that I have something to talk about, so it is better to go there.
After a while...
Li Er set off and moved to Da'an Palace!
At this time, Li Yuan had already given up all authority and was sinking into decadence in Da'an Palace, indulging in wine and sex. The entire Da'an Palace... in Chang'an, even mentioning it became a taboo.
Li Yuan...has been silent for a long time.
…
Inside Da'an Palace.
"Father, you..."
When Li Er walked into Da'an Palace, he saw that all the lights were out and it was dark.
Only through the moonlight could one vaguely see a figure sitting alone in the palace, with his back to the door.
That figure was very tall, with very broad shoulder blades, somewhat similar to Li Er.
Obviously, it is not that there has never been a stalwart life.
But now... not only does he look very depressed, but also a bit weird and crazy...
Li Er was secretly afraid, what kind of trouble was this...
However, after calling a few times, Li Yuan still didn't look back.
The hall was silent...
Li Er sighed secretly, feeling really mixed up in his heart.
…
Over the years...
Li Er has always wanted to have a good talk with Li Yuan.
Many things at that time were actually just differences in political opinions.
It's nothing more than... Li Yuan believes that if you don't rely on the power of the aristocratic families, then sooner or later the aristocratic families will come up with another person to take the lead and take over the Tang Dynasty that the Li family just created...
overthrow!
Although everyone said that Emperor Sui Yang was a tyrant,... the various powerful people who participated in the "heroes rising together" to oppose Emperor Sui Yang knew it well.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty perished precisely because he was not actually a tyrant.
On the contrary, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was a man of great talent. He also established imperial examinations and opened canals to integrate the economy and culture of northern and southern China. He could almost be regarded as a replica of Qin Shihuang's policies.
However, it is precisely because of this...
If someone gains, someone will suffer.
Naturally, the rich and powerful families in the world would not be happy if a scholar from a humble family was able to show off his talents.
Since then, naturally all heroes have emerged.
Li Yuan clearly saw this. The essence of the emperor is that he is the co-owner of the aristocratic family, not the co-owner of the people. How difficult is it to break away from the influence of the aristocratic family and cultivate the power of the people alone?
In Li Yuan's opinion, this level of difficulty is not even hell level, it is completely bullshit level.
It is simply not something that human beings can do. What's more, Datang wants its own children to inherit, so it is natural to consider the problem from a bad perspective.
It is certainly embarrassing to be a puppet emperor for various wealthy families, but at least it is better than becoming Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
As a result, Li Er's martial virtue was far superior to that of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. His forbearance gave Li Jiancheng and others countless opportunities, but in the end, the coup was successful...
With this embarrassing ending,
Coupled with the pessimism about the political future of the Tang Dynasty, the relationship between Li Yuan and Li Er...
How can there be room to talk harmoniously?
So there was a scene in Li Sheng's memory where Li Er and Li Yuan had been sulking all their lives. As soon as Li Yuan died, Li Er lay on Li Yuan's chest and cried bitterly...
"Father..."
"Huh, you're actually here?"
Li Yuan's voice was old and cold, as if it had just been fished out of an ice cellar.
Li Er was in a complicated mood, but he still said respectfully, "Father, what do you want to see me for?"
"What's the matter?"
Li Yuan seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then murmured to himself... "Hahahahaha, what is it? Oh... yes, my country in the Tang Dynasty is about to perish, and I want to tell you this specially, hahahahaha.
Ha ha!"
Li Yuan's condition has basically deviated from the ranks of normal people.
However, these words are heartbreaking.
Li Er couldn't laugh at all, tears were rolling in his stomach.
In front of Li Yuan, why am I not a child?
As a result... I just wanted to be a good emperor, but my father said this...
well!
Li Er took a breath, "If nothing happens to my father, I will tell you first..."
With that said, Li Er was about to turn around and leave.
But the words have not yet finished...
"roll!"
The sudden word "go" made Li Er unable to bear it any longer.
"Father, why do you have to do this?"
"As the common master of the common people, I naturally have to make decisions for the common people. Cutting down vassals and fighting against these aristocratic families. All of this... isn't this what the emperor should do???"
"I know that my father is not sure whether I can do these things. But in this world, justice is always in the hearts of the people. If we don't even do it and don't say anything else, how can we face the people in our army?
The old department..."
"Shut up! Can you do it? Don't you have any ideas in your mind?"
"Do you think you are the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty or Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!?"
Li Yuan also exploded.
"It's so whimsical and ridiculous!"
"You are an unworthy descendant who is wasting the country. I don't have an idiot like you in our Li family, so get out!"
"But father!" Li Er also raised his head, his face turned red, "No matter how difficult it is, this is an unbreakable principle that has been around since ancient times! Even Sheng'er knows that Buddhas are all..."
"Don't do this to me!"
Li Yuan simply turned around and scolded him this time, "How many years have passed since the Eastern Han Dynasty fell, and you are still here dreaming about restoring the Han Dynasty? You insist on taking away the foundation of my old Li family... and so on."
Halfway through the scolding, Li Yuan was suddenly startled.
The white beard on his lips trembled in a funny way.
"Um...you just said...that even anyone knows?"
"Father, I am Sheng'er. Sheng'er once said something..."
"Wait, you mean Sheng'er?!"
Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"You...you found it, you found Sheng'er?!"
At this moment, Li Yuan's eyes suddenly opened wide, and his mouth was open enough to hold hundreds of fists...
Staring at Li Er, his whole face looked like a zombie.
Li Er nodded, "Yes, earlier this year... But Father, you were in a bad mood, so I didn't tell you immediately..."
Li Yuan immediately took a deep breath...
Good guy, really good guy...
In fact, he did not give Li Er the crown prince position. In addition to political differences, another reason was that Li Er actually lost his favorite grandson.
If he can kill his own son, can this sloppy man defeat the elite of a wealthy family?
