Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 33: Li Shimin thinks too much

"Why is this?" Li Shimin wondered, "Isn't it true that older officials have more experience and learn faster?"

Li Xin shook his head and said: "Older people tend to have rigid thinking and have difficulty accepting new knowledge. They learn with half the effort. Young people are full of vigor and active thinking. They learn quickly, and I can teach them easily."

Li Shimin was persuaded by Li Xin, and sighed helplessly: "This is what you said from a seventeen-year-old boy. It always makes me listen awkward."

Li Xin came to his senses. Yes, he is just a seventeen-year-old kid on the surface at the moment, and he is just a hairy head who has not graduated from high school in later generations. It would really look weird to say such a mature thing at all times.

He hurriedly laughed and said: "In fact, I am not happy to deal with those bad old men, or young people are more talkable together." This was a bit of a young man.

Li Shimin heard that Li Xin said that the household officials were bad old men, so he didn't get angry. He just laughed and cursed: "Damn, I forgot all the etiquette I learned in the palace in the early years!"

Li Xin narrowed his smile, pretending to be serious introspection.

Li Shimin looked at Li Xin with a smile, his eyes flickering.

The momentum of the emperor is indeed extraordinary. Staring at him with such a weird look, Li Xin couldn't help but feel a chill on his back and his hair on the back. He quickly said with a smile: "Why is your Majesty looking at the children like this?"

Li Shimin has always regarded Li Xin as if he had come out. When he was a child, Li Xin had always called himself "a minister" in front of Li Shimin, no different from Li Shimin's biological sons. It was not until later that he moved out of the palace that he gradually changed his tune and only called himself "a minister." Only occasionally when she acted like a baby or begged for mercy by making a mistake, she would call herself a "child minister".

Obviously, when Li Shimin looked at himself with such dangerous eyes, this was undoubtedly an occasion that needed to be coquettish and begging for mercy.

The smile on Li Shimin's face has a tendency to gradually develop in a more dangerous direction.

The cold sweat behind Li Xin became more and more.

"If you show your hand casually, you can save millions of pens for the treasury in the future. Is this what you mean by ignorance?" Li Shimin smiled and looked at Li Datong.

Li was tensed in confidence, and secretly said: "It's over, patronizing the **** head, speaking righteously, even forgot this!"

He licked his lips and smiled dryly: "This little trick, what's the point? Your majesty and the ministers of the DPRK just didn't expect it for a while, and sooner or later they can think of it! The ministers are just a fluke, and they happen to be with a few big food merchants. I have communicated, so I learned this skill... In short, it's just a blind cat and a dead mouse! Your Majesty, don't take it to heart!"

"Oh, in your heart, this is just a trivial skill?" Li Shimin spoke very slowly. The speed of his speech is obviously inversely proportional to the degree of danger of the content.

He smiled and said: "Then I am a little curious. In your heart, what kind of ability can be regarded as a real ability? It's okay, you can use your ability, even if it is just a trivial little ability, I must be willing to do so. . Like this kind of trick, I will not refuse anyone who comes, the more the better."

This still meant that Li Xin entered the court as an official.

Li Xin immediately said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I really won't be an official!"

Li Shimin sighed for a long time, put away the slightly playful smile on his face, and put on a serious expression. Li Xin knew that this was going to be a matter of business, so he reduced his expression and sat up a bit.

"Xin'er, since my eldest brother passed away, how have I treated you?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Xin immediately bowed and bowed, and then he straightened up and said: "Take it as if you are yourself, and love very much. The children are very grateful for him, and I will not forget it in this life!"

Li Shimin was silent for a moment, and the wide hall fell into an unspeakable silence. It took a long time before he asked again: "Then why are you...susceptible to me?"

Li Xin's eyes widened, and said: "Where does this start!"

Li Shimin said solemnly: "Then why are you so obsessed with being clumsy? Do you think I will be suspicious of you because of my eldest brother?"

Only then did Li Xin understand what Li Shimin was talking about, and he was silently relieved with a wry smile.

Li Shimin is the second son of Li Yuan. From the perspective of the eldest son inheritance system, the throne should undoubtedly belong to Li Xuan Dao. But Li Xuandao is the kind of freak who hasn't encountered one in hundreds of years, and doesn't want to be the emperor at all, so he smashed the throne on Li Shimin's head without hesitation, thus causing this bad situation today. .

From a pedigree point of view, Li Xin is the eldest son of Li Xuandao, and Li Xuandao is the eldest son of Li Yuan, undoubtedly the royal orthodoxy of the same line. To say something rebellious, his sitting on the throne is actually better than Li Shimin's sitting on the throne. Indeed, some people in the private sector, and even a small number of stubborn and old-school officials in the court, hold this view.

If it were not for Li Shimin's broad-mindedness, these wise officials would have been beheaded one by one, and by the way, even Li Xin would be implicated.

After all, the throne has been a sensitive topic since ancient times. Anyone who threatens this throne, whether he is interested in it or not, must be conscious of paying the price of his life.

Indeed, from Li Shimin's perspective, Li Xin's existence itself is a huge threat to his throne. Even if it is not threatening the throne he has at the moment, it may threaten the throne belonging to his son in the future. From a rational point of view, it is obviously safer to kill Li Xin as soon as possible.

Li Shimin thought that Li Xin deliberately hid his clumsiness with this kind of speculation, and refused to enter the court to become an official, so he was very disappointed. People all over the world say "Heaven is ruthless", but when he took over the throne from Li Xuandao, he didn't feel cold, only the expectation and warmth that Li Xuandao had for him.

From then on, he was determined to be the best emperor, one who was different from any previous emperor. He wanted to prove that Li Xuandao's choice at that time was not wrong, and he wanted to prove that he could lead Datang to a more prosperous future. Therefore, he was diligent in government affairs day and night. He succeeded to the throne for three years. He didn't even accept a few concubines. He was full of ideas about how to govern the country better. He never thought of being disadvantageous to Li Xin, not once.

But Li Xin's words and deeds today are linked to his numerous previous acts of refusing to enter the DPRK as an official, and it is hard for Li Shimin not to have such thoughts in his heart: Is his elder brother's son jealous of himself? Isn't it enough that he loves him so much to make him let go of his guard? Is it true that the emperor can't even have a little affection?

Li Shimin is not an indecisive person, not even a soft-hearted person. It's just that Li Xin's position is so special that he can't ignore it, let alone treat Li Xin like any other person.

Li Xin looked at Li Shimin seriously and said, "Your Majesty, you really think too much. I'm really just lazy!"
