Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Three: Inseparable
When Li Chengqian heard Li Shimin's roar, he immediately shook his head and dared not speak anymore.
Li Shimin then regained his usual semen: "In the final analysis, the matter of Liu Laosan has taught me a great lesson, that is, my way of speaking is still blocked, so... I am blinded by others and can't even see the truth."
Li Shimin's face looked very serious: "What a terrible thing. If a person in power doesn't even know what the world looks like, he has to make a decision to decide the life, death, honor and disgrace of millions of people. Based on this situation, I am afraid that no matter how great I have, the edicts and decrees issued will be wrong."
Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but shudder. Li Shimin is worthy of being a famous king for thousands of years. What I, Chen Zhengtai, only thought of was that through this incident, he accepted Dai Zhou as a disciple. In the past few days, he was still thinking about how to use Dai Zhou's remaining energy.
What Li Shimin thought was much more profound.
Li Shimin saw a very terrible problem, that is, the message he received was obviously incomplete, or even completely wrong. On top of this completely wrong message, he needed to make major decisions, and this... would cause a series of disasters.
Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai deeply and said, "Zhengtai, what do you think about this?"
Chen Zhengtai thought for a while: "Actually... mentor... such things have always been there, even in the future. After all, mentor only has two eyes and two ears. How can we master everything in every detail? Mentor is wise and wants to let himself understand the feelings, so mentors have always been eager to seek talented people, hoping that talent can come to mentors... Isn't this a solution to the problem?"
"It's just..." Chen Zhengtai coughed and continued, "It's just... the teacher's choice of officials has done everything he can and people do his best, but these people... can the officials around them do this? In the final analysis, the world is too big, how can the teacher care about so many things? What the teacher has to take care of is the big things in the world. If you choose all the good talents for these small things, just let them do it. For example, in the Royal Erpigou University, students think that selecting good talents is their responsibility, and they must be able to meet the teacher's requirements for talents, and to connect with the past and the future, so as to serve the court. This... Junior brother has seen it with his own eyes. Junior brother, don't you think so?"
Li Chengqian: “…”
Seeing that Li Chengqian was silent, Chen Zhengtai winked at Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian had no choice but to say, "Yes, my son has seen some experiences and has a lot of feelings."
Li Shimin frowned, but Chen Zhengtai's words were actually a bit empty talk.
But after thinking about it carefully, I really can't fully understand the situation!
He couldn't help but nod: "Hey... Speaking of it... there are another letter from Yuezhou."
It's Yuezhou again...
Li Chengqian's face was a little unnatural.
Li Shimin said: "It was the report from the governor of Yuezhou, saying that Qingque was in Yuezhou. These days, overwork has become ill. The local people are all grateful and pray for Qingque. Qingque is still a child after all. At a young age, she is so weak. I always want to come... I am always worried, Zhengtai, you are good at medical skills, live some days and prescribe some medicine to send. After all, he is your junior brother."
Li Chengqian's face became even more pale.
Chen Zhengtai said happily: "This is natural. I didn't expect that Junior Brother Yue Wang could already share his worries with his mentor. These twenty-one states in the south of the Yangtze River were also managed in an orderly manner. All of his mentor's descendants were amazing. Junior Brother Yue Wang became ill after overwork... His temperament... was very similar to his mentor, just like his mentor. His mentor was so diligent and loved the people. The students saw it and felt distressed."
When Li Shimin heard this, he felt a little relieved: "You said it well, I thought... there was a rift between you and Qingque."
Li Chengqian lowered his head, shook his head, thinking that he was air.
Chen Zhengtai said: "It is too heartbreaking to say this to my master. King Yue and the students are junior brothers of the same school. Where does there be any rift? Of course... students are still children after all, and sometimes they are competitive. They did have some small conflicts with Junior Brother Yue, but this is all in the past. Junior Brother Yue, obviously, will not be criticized by students, and do students not have such measures? What's more, Junior Brother Yue, left Chang'an, and students missed him for a long time. People's hearts are flesh. How can some quarrels be as good as the feelings of the same school?"
Seeing that Chen Zhengtai was reasonable, Li Shimin was obviously speaking from the bottom of his heart, and then said, "Take it serious?"
"More than that." Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "A few days ago, I also prepared a book for Junior Brother Yue, and even asked someone to bring some food from Chang'an. I was thinking about Junior Brother Yue, who was in Jiangnan, and was away from his hometown for thousands of miles and could not eat the food from Guanzhong, so I asked Baili to send it in a hurry. If my mentor doesn't believe it, I can write a book and ask Junior Brother Yue."
Li Shimin looked surprised.
At this time... he couldn't believe it anymore.
Li Shimin never expected that Chen Zhengtai would have contact with Qingque and even had this idea.
Li Chengqian, who was standing beside him, looked even worse.
Li Shimin was calm. Although he killed his brother, he treated his son as a treasure.
Even in history, Li Chengqian rebelled and was not killed in the end. Even in Li Shimin's later years, he was afraid that Li Chengqian and King of Yue Li Tai would plant hatred for the first time for the throne. If King of Yue Li Tai became the emperor in the future, he would inevitably harm the prince's life, so he made Li Zhi the emperor. The arrangements in this... can be said to contain countless painstaking efforts.
It's just that I don't want my brothers to kill each other, nor do I want any of my sons to get into trouble. Even if my son rebelled and wanted to seize his throne, I don't want him to be hurt.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and was very relieved: "I am really surprised by your hard work. It's so good. You brothers, as well as the prince and Qingque, must be harmonious and must not fight each other. Okay, you guys will go ahead first."
Chen Zhengtai bowed happily and left.
Li Chengqian deliberately delayed and said nothing throughout the whole process.
When Chen Zhengtai left the hall and walked many steps, he saw Li Chengqian deliberately walking behind, hanging his head, and pursing his lips into a line.
Chen Zhengtai stopped and waited, but Li Chengqian turned around and wanted to leave.
Chen Zhengtai called him: "Junior brother, where are you going?"
Li Chengqian then looked up at him and said gritting his teeth: "You fickle guy..."
"Shh." Chen Zhengtai looked around and looked mysterious: "Come on, I have something to say to you."
Li Chengqian has been holding his breath since just now and said angrily: "What's there to say? Gu has heard what you and his father said. I never thought you were such a person."
"Junior brother." Chen Zhengtai lowered his voice and said earnestly: "I did these things for you? Now His Highness, King Yue is far away in the sky, and the ministers in Jiangnan are very generous to Li Tai, not to mention, I don't know how many aristocratic clans say good things about him in front of His Majesty. At this time, if I say bad things about him, what would my mentor think?"
Chen Zhengtai paused for a moment and said, "Mr. Yue must think that King Yue is so young and has a good reputation recently. But I am here to say that the junior brother Yue is not. Could it be that I have any intention? After all, they are also father and son. It is a taboo for people to be alienated from each other. At that time, not only will they not get the trust of their master, but they will make their master feel that Brother Yue is pitiful."
Li Chengqian was still angry and said sarcastically: "So you have compiled books for him, and you have sent him food? Is it a hundred miles to speed up?"
"Hehe..." Chen Zhengtai said happily: "This is the most clever place. Now he is in Yangzhou and Yuezhou. He is obviously unwilling to accept it. He has been winning over the ministers and clans in Jiangnan all day long. Since he is unwilling to give up, he still wants to take the prince's junior brother and replace him. Then... we must be prepared for a long-term battle and must not be greedy for merit. The best way is to praise him more in front of his mentor, so that his mentor and the junior brother of Yue will be relieved!"
"If you want to kill someone, if you don't have the ability to kill him absolutely, you should keep a smile in front of him, and then... suddenly appear behind him and stab him. Instead of being angry, shouting, beating and killing. Junior brother, do you understand what I mean?"
"Stave him in the back?" Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "You want to send an assassin..."
Chen Zhengtai's face was scared and he couldn't help but curse, "If you brother's IQ, if I were your brother, I would also take your bird position."
Chen Zhengtai felt tired with kindness, and he couldn't do anything about Li Chengqian, so he had to continue patiently saying: "This is an example, meaning... Now we have to keep smiling. When we have a chance, we will kill with another blow, so that he can't turn over."
Li Chengqian blinked and couldn't help but say, "Will you become a despicable villain if you do this?"
"You are wrong." Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "The mean person may not be a villain, because despicable is just a means, and villains and gentlemen are the goal. To achieve great things, you must know how to endure and use special means to never be a reckless man. Is forbearance and smile also called despicable? If so, my third uncle laughs when he sees people. You can't say that he is a despicable villain, right?"
Li Chengqian was stunned: "Oh, isn't your third uncle just a villain?"
This seems to be getting further and further. Chen Zhengtai shook his head: "We won't discuss this issue for now. The most urgent thing is that the junior brother should show his abilities in front of his mentor. This is the most important thing. Otherwise... what's the credit for me?"
"Hmm?" Li Chengqian immediately aroused curiosity: "Let me tell me."
Chen Zhengtai smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll know when I go and see it."
