Chapter 2607 Fair Competition
Sometimes, communication between people is very necessary, otherwise the two parties will be in a silent world, and each other's thoughts can only be guessed through certain behaviors, which can easily lead to misunderstandings and then lead to conflicts.
Some of the views you think are not necessary in my opinion. I don’t want you to think so. I just want what I think...
Even between father and son, communication is equally important.
Over the years, Li Chengqian, who has been under heavy pressure, has gradually lost his self-confidence. Facing his wise and powerful father, he is cautious and obedient, fearing that he will make mistakes and cause his father's dissatisfaction. Your Majesty seems to be seriously lacking.
The admiration for his father made Li Chengqian feel ashamed of himself, and gradually evolved into endless pressure. He was afraid that he would not meet his father's requirements. This was the root cause of the gradual change in Li Chengqian's entire personality.
Today, Li Chengqian faced the crisis that he might lose his position as crown prince, and he was completely brave. After speaking, he was sweating profusely, and actually felt a sense of clarity.
It seemed that his father, who had always put him under great pressure in the past, was no longer so scary...
And His Majesty Li Er saw another side of Li Chengqian, which seemed... not as bad as he thought before?
Even though he does prefer Prince Jin, His Majesty Li Er also has a bottom line, that is, as long as the prince can meet his requirements, he will never easily depose Prince Jin and make another prince his son.
After all, he is absolutely unwilling to bear the huge impact of abolishing elders and establishing younger ones. Not only may the current prosperous situation be turbulent and face crisis, but his children are also very likely to fratricide and become jealous of each other. wall.
In order for his empire to be better passed down and never end for eternity, he could bear the pain and depose the prince.
But if the prince still had a shred of hope that could be cultivated, he would not choose this path destined to be full of blood and betrayal...
His Majesty Li Er relaxed, looked at the prince with a smile, and said warmly: "You and I, father and son, share the same blood and share weal and woe. If you say what is on your mind, just say it. This is good."
Li Chengqian stood up again and sat back in front of His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er was in a good mood, and he felt that the prince in front of him was much more pleasing to his eyes. He asked with a smile: "Are you really sure that you want to cancel the ban on the young slave and agree with me to arrange for him to enter the Shangshu Province?"

Li Chengqian replied respectfully: "My son, every word he said today came from the bottom of his heart. Although the young slave made a mistake in the first place, such a long period of confinement is enough punishment, and he will definitely learn his lesson. As for whether to enter the Shangshu Province... Naturally, it is your father, Qiangang, who has the final say. No matter which yamen you send your child to, your ministers will agree.”
"Very good!"
His Majesty Li Er nodded with pleasure and said: "As a prince, knowledge and ability are of course important, but what is more important is to have this heart and a generous and broad-minded attitude! No matter whether it is the prince or the minister, everyone is actually at the same time. Faced with competition all the time, all you can do is to make yourself stronger and push others down, instead of being weak-minded and avoiding competition. ”
He always believed that structure and ambition were more important than talent.
If he had no structure, how could he have formulated a last-ditch strategy when faced with a desperate situation in the ninth year of Wude, contacted the army near Chang'an to launch the coup that will go down in history, and finally made a desperate move to seize the throne?
If he had no ambition, how could he make the literary and military generals in Tiance Mansion surrender to his will and fight side by side with him to survive in the face of death, and finally fight their way out and earn a bright future?
Pattern can achieve a person's upper limit, but talent cannot.
Without a pattern, no matter how talented a person is, he is just a tool that can be driven by others...
It seems that the current prince already has the things he cares about most. Compared with these, his slightly lacking talents and slightly weak character are not very important.
Li Chengqian leaned forward slightly and replied respectfully: "My son, please remember your father's teachings!"
"Well, that's good."
His Majesty Li Er nodded happily, and then said: "In that case, you should step aside for the time being. Tomorrow, I will go to the Prince of Jin's Mansion on my father's behalf to announce to the children that the confinement order has been cancelled. My father wants to see you brothers and sisters." Gong, brotherly love, you can compete, but each other should be limited to a certain level. If anyone is blinded by power, don't blame me for not thinking about the love between father and son. "
"Here! Remember this!"
"Okay, please step aside for now."
"Here."
……
When Li Chengqian's back disappeared from the door of the imperial study, His Majesty Li Er slowly drank tea, pondered for a long time, and said coldly: "Tell me, if I place the child slave in Shangshu Province, will it be unfair to the prince? ”
Wang De, who had been standing in the corner with his head bowed, took two steps forward, thought for a while, and bowed: "As the prince said just now, how can there be true fairness in this world?"
"Ho ho..."
His Majesty Li Er smiled, looked out the window, and said slowly: "He says he can accept all kinds of injustice, but in fact, since he dares to say it in front of me, it means that he really has some resentment in his heart and does not mean what he says. , how can it be taken seriously? ”
Wang De cautiously said: "The purpose of Buddhism to save all living beings is to resolve the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance in people's hearts. These three poisons harm the body and mind, causing people to sink into the cycle of life and death. They are the root of evil. Therefore, they are also called the three unwholesome roots, and then transcend the world. , became an immortal and became a Buddha. After all, the prince is still a mortal, and his Majesty has clearly seen what he has endured over the years. Even if he feels a little resentful, it is true."
His Majesty Li Er turned his head, his eyes were serious, and he said calmly: "You old slave, do you also care about the prince?"
Wang De was startled, knelt down quickly, and said in panic: "Damn it, old slave! Your Majesty is the Supreme Being, and the final ownership of the throne belongs to your majesty freely. How dare I say anything? This slave is not partial to the prince, but His Majesty asked. Get up, the old slave dare not answer.”
The ministers in the court will try their best not to get involved in the battle for the reserve. If they are not careful, there will be trouble. As the slaves around the emperor, they must only focus on the emperor. They must not have the slightest inclination towards the battle for the reserve. All of them Everything must be based on the emperor's will, otherwise the emperor's position of trust will be lost, and death will occur in an instant!
His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly and said: "You old slave has been with me for many years. I treat you like a family member. The prince, King Wei and King Jin are all young and look down on the big ones. I only hope that you will treat them equally and don't care about them." If you have any bias, if I find out that you have done anything you shouldn’t do in private, don’t blame me for not remembering our friendship over the years!”
Wang De paused, sweating profusely: "I dare not! I am loyal to Your Majesty. I will only obey Your Majesty's will and will never dare to make my own decisions!"
"Hmph! I'm sorry you don't have the guts!"
His Majesty Li Er paused for a moment, feeling that his tone was a bit serious, so he calmed down and said, "Don't blame me for speaking too harshly. The ownership of the throne is related to my country for generations to come, so I naturally have to be cautious. Before I have completely made up my mind, I will never allow any uncontrollable things to occur to affect my judgment.”
After a pause, he filled the pot with tea and asked, "Is it unfair to the Crown Prince that I arranged for the young slaves to be sent to Shangshu Province to assist me in handling government affairs?"
Wang De: "..."
Oh my dear Emperor, are you still finished?
I told you to hit me, but you kept asking me if I didn't tell you. You just killed me with one knife and counted the balls...
His Majesty Li Er did not hear the answer, raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "You old slave! I said a few words to you and you got angry?"
Wang De: "..."
What do you want me to do?
His Majesty Li Er could not understand the dilemma of an old eunuch at this moment. He only felt that his imperial majesty had been challenged. How dare an old slave show his personality and express his dissatisfaction with himself as an emperor through silence?
This is simply unreasonable!
He stood up, kicked Wang De, who was kneeling on the ground, to the ground, and cursed angrily: "You really think I can't kill you?"
Wang De jumped up and burst into tears. He was shocked and frightened: "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I just don't know how to answer. I definitely didn't mean not to answer your Majesty's questions."
But His Majesty Li Er's thinking was completely on another line. He was still angry and kicked him again, shouting: "Are you saying that I am unreasonable and deliberately making things difficult for you?"
Wang De was completely stunned. He could only pause with his head and cry out sadly: "The old slave is guilty, the old slave is guilty..."
There was a banging sound when my forehead hit the hard floor, and bloodshot eyes oozed out within a few moments...(End of Chapter)
