The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Come here, take the children to the back first and let them rest for a while." Li Shimin said to the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch beside him responded and took several palace maids to take the three children to the back.

Li Shimin looked at Li Fu.

"You seem to have talked to me before. When the emperor was in power, if he had not treated me and Prince Xi so equally, perhaps there would not have been the disaster of Xuanwu Gate." Li Shimin said.

Li Fu waved his hand.

"The matter between the second brother and the eldest brother is not as simple as just treating them equally. Even if they are not treated equally, disasters will still occur, because the second brother's military exploits are too great, his prestige is too high, and he has too much power. No matter who is the crown prince or the emperor, they can't tolerate a prince like the second brother."

"You have made contributions. If the emperor does not commend you or reward you, you will not be able to get over it. So, this is an unsolvable knot. Let alone the emperor, even if you sit in this position, facing the same situation, do you have a solution?"

Li Shimin thought for a long time and shook his head.

That's it.

What position did Li Shimin hold in the court when he was not yet the crown prince?

Taiwei, Situ, Shangshuling, Zhongshuling, Shangshuling of the Grand Secretariat of the East Shaanxi Road, Shangshuling of the Grand Secretariat of the Yizhou Road, Mu of Yongzhou, General of Liangzhou, Left and Right Wuhou Generals, Left and Right Twelve Guards Generals, Shangzhuguo, King of Qin, General of Tiance.

Among the powerful positions in the three provinces and six ministries, Shangshuling is the highest, and there is also a Zhongshuling of the Zhongshu Province, who commands all officials in the internal affairs.

The Tiance Mansion, the General of Tiance Mansion, is also the highest institution in the military institutions of the Tang Dynasty. Mu of Yongzhou manages Chang'an, and the left and right twelve guards generals are the first in the internal and external military. A Grand Secretariat of the East Shaanxi Road, this territory is larger than that of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande combined. Among all the kings, the title of King of Qin is the most respected.

With such a King of Qin, let alone Li Jiancheng, who would kill him if he became the crown prince, anyone else would kill this brother.

"So, people are different, and problems are different." Li Fu said: "Chengqian and Qingque are still young, and there are countless possibilities in the future. As long as Chengqian's position as the crown prince remains unchanged, and Qingque is guided more on this basis, the situation of brothers fighting in the future can be completely avoided."

Li Shimin felt sympathetic.

"When I was in the Duke of Tang's Mansion, Prince Xi and I also had a deep brotherly love." Li Shimin sighed: "Even though my father became the emperor later, he and I were the Prince of Qin and the Crown Prince, but at the beginning, the brotherly love was still there. In the Wude Year, the people in the East Palace, led by Wei Zheng, persuaded him to kill me, but he did not do it.

And the people in the Prince of Qin's Mansion, led by Fang Xuanling, also persuaded me to kill him, but I did not do it.

Later, the disaster of Xuanwu Gate, both sides had to do it because of the situation."

"When we conquered the world, we all had to contribute and make achievements. Who has greater contributions and who has less contributions, these are all interest plans mixed with brotherly feelings."

"What you said makes sense, so I thought about it. Cheng Qian is the Crown Prince and Qingque is the Prince. They are brothers, but there is a gap in status in the court. On this point, my attitude is very important."

"It's good that my second brother can see this problem clearly." Li Fu nodded in response.

The reasons why Li Chengqian eventually rebelled have been analyzed to death.

One is the long-term high-pressure education, and the other is that Li Shimin over-pampered Li Tai, which invisibly encouraged Li Tai's improper thoughts and established an opponent for Li Chengqian to seize the throne.

And it was a powerful opponent.

If you want to resolve this outcome, you need to know the reasons, and then you have to prescribe the right medicine.

Whether Li Shimin will continue to over-pamper Li Tai in the future is not something Li Fu can control. They are father and son of the royal family, so he can remind them once or twice, but if he says too much, he will have to bear the blame for instigating the royal family's affection, which is not good for himself.

"So, when it happened to me, I understood the difficulties of the retired emperor." Li Shimin sighed: "But today you want to take Qingque to the banquet, what's the matter?"

"In front of the child, you held Lizhi and told Chengqian, but left Qingque behind. What would the child think? Just now I looked down and saw that Qingque was obviously thinking something. I thought, it's better to guide than to block. After all, he is still a child. Just guide him well." Li Fu said: "I can't really stop you from being a kind father in the future."

In fact, Li Fu also thought of someone who could learn from him.

That is Zhu Biao, the most stable prince in history.

There are two most stable princes, one is Zhu Biao and the other is Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao has a stable position because he is the only child.As long as Zhu Biao was alive, Zhu Di would not dare to rebel, and none of his brothers dared to compete with him for the throne.

Now Li Fu was thinking that if he could improve Li Chengqian's prestige among his brothers and sisters, and let Li Chengqian take on the responsibility of being an elder brother by virtue of the title of "eldest brother is like father", and become the eldest brother trusted and respected by many princes and princesses in the royal family, it would not be a bad idea.

In this way, Li Chengqian would have enough prestige, and other princes and brothers would not dare to have other thoughts.

And now Li Shimin has realized what consequences would be caused if he gave too much love to other princes.

Combining these two, this matter has great potential.

Li Fu could not think of any way to interfere too much with Li Chengqian's growth. After all, he is now the prince and is receiving education in the palace. Li Fu can take them out to relax for one day a month, which is his best effort. If he interferes too much, the Wei sprayers in the court will target him and spray him, and secondly, Li Shimin will not agree.

He hoped to have a virtuous prince. Obviously, a perfect prince needs to be taught from childhood to be cultivated. How could he let Li Fu take him out every now and then and slack off his studies?

"It's difficult for the royal family to have pure family affection." Li Shimin sighed.

After sitting in this position, this feeling is particularly obvious.

Whether it is the former dynasty or the harem, it is the same.

As for the matter of Changsun Wuji becoming the right servant, the queen also opposed it.

She said that her brother should not be in power.

Why should she be so shy? How could he not know Wuji's talent? Moreover, there are some things that Wuji needs to do, which is the most appropriate.

"Do your best." Li Fu smiled and said, "In fact, I don't care much about other things. The emperor found me back. I went from an orphan who was bullied to a prince with relatives now. It is a world of difference from the past."
