Chapter 1198 Cheng Qian
It is rare for a father and son to walk in the same car.
The carriage is a four-way carriage, driven by six horses, driving gently on the main street of Luoyang. The carriage is very spacious, with a few couches, like a moving room.
"The Ma Zhou people are about to die and start talking nonsense."
The prince criticized Ma Zhou very bluntly.
Li Shimin only said, "I think Ma Zhou just wants to make things longer."
Chengqian was a little excited, "Why did my father say this? Qin Lang's actions on Treasure Island have already been a rebellion."
"It's not that serious." Li Shimin said lightly.
"I have two hearts, isn't it a rebellion?" Cheng Qian was not polite to his teacher.
"You really think so in your heart, and you think Qin Lang is treason?"
"My son thinks that treason is not only about the mind but also about the truth. Now what Qin Lang does shows that he is not only free from the saint, but also about his actions."
"Since the start of industry and commerce, countless heroes and gentry have participated in it, and many families have operated overseas. Are they all treasons rebelling?"
"That's different. Qin Lang's actions on Treasure Island are no longer just trade. He is almost openly establishing a country and becoming king."
The emperor still shook his head calmly.
"What do you think you should deal with it?"
"Treason is the leader of the ten evils, and the crime is unforgivable. But I think Qin Lang was the saint Tiance Yuan Cong and cooperated with the heroes of Jingguo. He has also made great contributions since Zhenguan. Therefore, it is conceivable to save his life. He can send hundreds of cavalrymen to take Qin Lang back to Luoyang and add a title to support his old age in Luoyang."
The emperor smiled.
"Qin Lang is only in his thirties and he is retired. Don't he think it's too early?"
"Forgive your death, it is a great favor."
The emperor was serious, "Do you think Qin Lang can return to Beijing obediently? If he refuses to return to Beijing by the imperial edict, what should he do? Even if Qin Lang returns to Beijing, have you considered Qin Lang's reputation?"
"I'll tell you, if you really want to do this, you have to kill Qin Lang, otherwise you will find that there are endless troubles. But if you really kill Qin Lang, don't say whether he is willing to let you kill you obediently. Even if you really let you kill, how can you end up? Have you considered Qin Lang's prestige in the court and the prestige among the people? Have you considered the relationship between the Qin family?"
"You haven't considered it. You just made complicated things simple. Even if you sit in my position, do you think the emperor can do whatever he wants? How do you think the imperial power is reflected?"
Li Shimin poured a cup of tea for his son, "The emperor has never been naturally superior, and even the emperor is not born. Otherwise, how could there be a change of dynasty? Even the eldest son of the emperor may not be able to become the crown prince, and even the crown prince may not be able to become the emperor."
Cheng Qian's face changed slightly.
"My Li family was once the Eight-Pillar Country of the Western Wei Dynasty, the Duke of Tang in Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the old dynasty of the former Sui Dynasty, and was also a royal relative. After several generations of efforts, this was the founding of the Tang Dynasty. I was originally the second son of the emperor and the King of Qin."
"My Li family can have a world because our family is one of the eight pillars of Guanlong, and because Emperor Gaozu was able to unite the nobles of honors and nobles and recruit heroes, so that he can advance to Guanzhong and then unify the world. I can inherit the Tang Dynasty, in addition to my merits in founding the country and fighting, but also because I have many firm supporters, including Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian, Du Yan, Wuqiu, Qin Qiong, Gong Cheng, Yaojin, Liu Hongji, Changsun Shunde, etc...."
"Although this world is a whole, it is not defeated by one person."
"Do you know why I wanted to kill Zhang Liang, but not Hou Junji? Do you know why I even killed Jiancheng Yuanji, but can I forgive Changsun Shunde and Liu Hongji and others several times?"
"Killing is because of treason, not killing is because of no treason."
Li Shimin sighed.
"Do you know why the emperor often calls himself alone? This is to always alert yourself not to become an isolated person. Once you become an lonely person, the world will not be able to defend the country and the country will be destroyed. Yang Guang is an example."
"Although the emperor is supreme, he does not act without any scruples. On the contrary, when you sit in this position, you can understand how dangerous you are. You must always be sober and always strive for more people to support you. Instead of thinking about getting rid of this today and driving away that tomorrow. Every time you have an extra enemy, your position will be a little more dangerous."
"Ma Zhou is much more sober than you, and he is indeed not good at all, but what he said today is a theory of planning a country and the words of the elders. Who is Qin Lang? He is not only the son of Qin Qiong, the general who conquered the world, but also an important official with the most meritorious contributions of the Tang Dynasty. He has made countless contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and Qin Lang's connections in the court are no worse than Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji."
Zhang Liang made a prophecy and raised five hundred adopted sons. He was indeed a murderer. He was a hero, but why did the emperor still kill him? Because Zhang Liang not only did this, he also involved the King of Wei and the King of Wei, so the emperor wanted to kill him because Zhang Liang did not have any deep foundation in the court.
Kill Zhang Liang and knock down Zhao Junli by the way, so that Fang Xuanling can retire with tactfulness.
Qin Lang has much stronger foundation in the court than Zhang Liang, and the fame of the government and the people was not something that Zhang Liang could do, let alone Qin Lang did not make any fundamental mistakes. Qin Lang has always been firmly loyal to Emperor Li Shimin, and at the same time firmly supported Prince Chengqian, and took the right path and stood well.
He is highly respected.
Among the people, Qin Qiong had long been the gods, and Qin Lang had long become a king-level figure. The Qin family was also the leader of the upstarts of military merits in the military, and Qin Lang's prestige in the military was unmatched.
If Qin Lang had just built an island overseas and had some people going to mining and farm, the court would punish him for treason and kill him, who would support him?
He just did what many people were doing, but he just did it a little bigger.
"Qin Lang is the prime minister I left to you, and your future regent minister. You should also see that your uncle is so good, but you can't tolerate others. You like to exclude dissidents. You are actually quite capable, but compared to Fang Xuanling, even Ma Zhou is not as good as Ma Zhou."
