Chapter 1288: Li Zhi's advice
"Even a person can even make up his mind to kill his son, let alone brothers?" When Li Shimin left, he kept repeating what Li Xiu said to him, and his face was also filled with a distraught expression.
Li Xiu looked at Li Shimin's carriage away, but couldn't help but sigh. His words exposed Li Tai's lies and also exposed Li Shimin's beautiful fantasy. But no matter how beautiful the fantasy is, it is fake. Especially as the emperor, Li Shimin cannot be confused by illusions. Moreover, even if Li Xiu does not reveal it, he will be exposed by others in the future. It is better to let him wake up early.
The next morning, Li Xiu had just gotten up, and Changsun Wuji visited again. As soon as he saw Li Xiu, he immediately asked excitedly: "Brother Li, King Wei really said such stupid words as killing his son and returning to his brother?"
"Brother Changsun, your news is too wise, right?" Li Xiu couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly when he heard Changsun Wuji's words. When Li Tai said this yesterday, only him and Li Shimin were present, but Changsun Wuji knew it after only one night, which made people feel a little uneasy.
"Hahahahaha~, this news was not something I found out, but was leaked from the King of Wei. It has begun to be circulated among some people. It is estimated that Li Tai will become the laughing stock of Man Chang'an!" Changsun Wuji laughed at this time.
"Li Tai?" Li Xiu was stunned when he heard Changsun Wuji's words, then shook his head with a wry smile, "I understand. I guess it was yesterday that His Majesty verbally agreed to make him the crown prince, so he excitedly showed off his subordinates, which exposed his stupidity."
"Your Majesty really agreed to make Li Tai the crown prince yesterday?" Changsun Wuji asked Li Xiu again at this time. He had just heard some rumors about Li Tai, and it was difficult to go to Li Shimin to inquire about the news, so he had to come to Li Xiu.
"Yes, Your Majesty came to me yesterday, and then took me to Nanshan Academy to meet Li Tai and wanted to make Li Tai the crown prince. However, Your Majesty was worried that their brothers would kill each other in the future, so Li Tai said stupid things to kill his son and pass on his brother." Li Xiu shook his head and smiled bitterly at this time. Sometimes he couldn't understand Li Tai, saying he was stupid, but Li Tai's literary talent was first-class, saying he was smart, and sometimes the stupid things he did made people doubt whether he had any problems with his brain?
"Hahahahaha~ God's will, the position of prince that he had already obtained was lost because of a word. I'm afraid this will become the biggest joke in the world. I guess Li Tai will regret it in the future!" Changsun Wuji got the exact answer, and he laughed to the sky. A huge rock pressing on his heart finally dissipated. He is probably the person in the court who least wants Li Tai to ascend to the position of prince.
Seeing Changsun Wuji's happy appearance, Li Xiu shook his head secretly. The reason why Changsun Wuji was so happy was that he did not like Li Tai, the most important thing was that he felt that Li Zhi was weak in nature. After ascending the throne in the future, he should be able to control Li Zhi with his means to achieve the goal of monopolizing power. However, Changsun Wuji did not know that Li Zhi was not as weak as he imagined. In history, he fell at the feet of Li Zhi.
Of course, the above are all the most secret thoughts in Changsun Wuji's heart. Li Xiu was able to know these because he predicted the history of the future. However, if Changsun Wuji didn't say it now, no one would guess what he thought.
"By the way, when His Majesty left yesterday, he looked a little wrong. I am really worried that he could not withstand this blow. How is His Majesty now?" At this time, Li Xiu suddenly thought of the scene of Li Shimin leaving yesterday, and he couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Speaking of which, Li Shimin was really unlucky this year. First, his two sons rebelled one after another, and then his favorite son completely disappointed him. With three continuous blows, he didn't even have a breathing time for Li Shimin, which made Li Xiu very worried that Li Shimin could withstand it?
Hearing Li Xiu ask about Li Shimin's situation, Changsun Wuji also showed a solemn expression and said, "According to the news I received, Your Majesty did not sleep all night after he went back yesterday. He summoned King Jin to the palace this morning. It seems that he had already made a decision in his heart that the position of crown prince must be King Jin!"
"Your Majesty has been hit hard. I am really worried about his body. I hope that Chi Nu can comfort His Majesty well, at least make His Majesty feel relieved and not be sad about his son's affairs!" Li Xiu sighed at this time. He really hopes that this year will pass soon. Maybe next year, everything will slowly return to normal.
Hearing Li Xiu's words, Changsun Wuji also showed a silent expression. Although he was utilitarian, he was also loyal to Li Shimin. In addition to the monarch and ministers, the relationship between the two also had the right to be friends, so he also did not want something to happen to Li Shimin.
A few days later, Li Tai's stupid words of killing his son and passing on his brother finally spread throughout Chang'an. After Li Tai's guidance around him, he finally understood what kind of stupid things he had done. He hurried into the palace to apologize to Li Shimin, hoping to save the situation.
But this time Li Shimin completely saw Li Tai's son clearly, and he didn't even see Li Tai again. As a result, Li Tai knelt outside the Ganlu Palace for a day and a night, fainted and was carried back. During this period, Li Shimin never came out to see him, which also means that Li Tai completely lost the position of the crown prince.
"Sir, do you think I can really take on the heavy responsibility of the prince?" Li Zhi sat there with a confused face in Li Xiu's study, as if he was asking Li Xiu, or as if he was asking himself.
"The current situation is no longer a question of whether you can bear it or not, but you must shoulder this burden, because no one is suitable for this position except you!" Li Xiu sighed at this time.
Today, Li Zhi came to find him and told him one thing as soon as he met, that is, Li Shimin had decided to let him inherit the position of crown prince, which made Li Zhi feel very sudden, because he had always thought of the position of crown prince by his fourth brother Li Tai, so he had no intention of competing for the position, but he did not expect that this position suddenly hit him, which made him a little confused for a while, so he ran to Li Xiu for advice.
"But... but I am really afraid that I can't bear the burden, especially when I think about managing a huge empire in the future, I have no confidence in my heart." Li Zhi said worriedly again at this time. Not only was he not prepared for this matter, but he also had no confidence in himself.
Seeing Li Zhi's worried look, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile again and said, "Zhi Nu, you don't have to worry too much. There is nothing in this world that you can do without learning. Babies need their parents' teachings if they want to talk and walk. What's more, you've done a pretty good job in Bingzhou. Since you can now manage a state and accumulate experience in the future, there is nothing wrong with governing a country!"
"Really, sir, think I can really do it?" Li Zhi finally had a little confidence when he heard Li Xiu's words, but he was still a little lacking, so he finally asked again.
"Of course, and do you know what is the most important thing as an emperor?" Li Xiu smiled again at this time. Li Zhi's temperament was indeed a bit weak, but this also had the advantage, that is, he was able to listen to other people's advice. This was better than Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and others.
"What is it?" Li Zhi couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, as an emperor, you don't need to know how to use troops, nor do you need to be able to write beautiful articles, nor do you need to know the skill of all craftsmanship, because for emperors, you only need to put the right talents in the right place, simply employing people!" Li Xiu replied with a smile on his face.
"Use people?" Li Zhi also showed a thoughtful expression when he heard Li Xiu's words, but soon he smiled bitterly again, "The word "Use people" is simple, but it is difficult to do it. If I don't know how to use the wrong person, wouldn't it be a bad thing?"
"Hahahahaha~, you are only fifteen years old now and have enough time to learn how to employ people. Not only will your father teach you this, but your uncle and others will also help you. In addition, as an emperor, making occasional mistakes is not a big deal, and at most it will be corrected in the future!" Li Xiu laughed at this time. After all, Li Zhi was still too young and sometimes seemed too impatient. He still had a long way to go to be an excellent emperor.
Hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Zhi also showed a thoughtful expression. After a while, he stood up and bowed to Li Xiu and said, "Thank you for your advice, I understand what to do in the future!"
However, when he said this, Li Zhi suddenly hesitated for a moment, then he came to Li Xiu and asked quietly: "Sir, I want to ask you about something!"
"What's the matter?" Li Xiu asked curiously when he saw Li Zhi's mysterious appearance.
"Actually it's nothing, but I heard that my father was going to pass the position of crown prince to the fourth brother, but the fourth brother lost the position of crown prince because he said something. Is this true?" Although Li Zhi got the position of crown prince, he was only heard about Li Tai, because Li Shimin did not tell him either.
"Yes, your fourth brother did lose the position of prince he had obtained because of one word." Li Xiu also pondered for a moment and replied. He felt that this matter should not be hidden from Li Zhi, because he would know sooner or later.
"Will the father punish the fourth brother? I heard that the fourth brother knelt in front of the father's bedroom a day and a night a few days ago, but the father did not see the fourth brother. This is something that has never happened before." Li Zhi immediately asked with concern at this time, and at the same time there was an uneasy expression on his face. After all, even Li Tai, who has always been favored, lost the position of prince because of a word, which made him feel very insecure.
