Even if Li Tai wanted to break his head, he couldn't understand that his father actually appeared in Yangzhou.

But he is an extremely smart person.

He has a deep affection with his father and son. Since he came to Yuezhou, he has been able to understand his father's regret from many letters from his father.

It is obvious that he is Li Shimin's young son, and his father still has some love for his child.

At this time, the will has been issued, and it is afraid that it is not so easy to take it back.

That's why the father visited Yangzhou privately because of the father and son.

Suddenly, a glimmer of hope ignited in Li Tai's heart.

But then, he lowered his head and glanced at Mr. Deng, whose heads were rolling down, which made him feel confused again.

If so, then why would the father be indifferent to Chen Zhengtai's killing Mr. Deng?

Just when he was helpless, Li Tai hurriedly stepped forward and burst into tears: "Father, father... I have seen him."

He bowed to Li Shimin: "My son is in Yangzhou and he misses his parents' kindness for a day. He thought that his son is in Yangzhou and was separated from his father and emperor for a thousand miles in his life. He never met again. Fortunately, God will protect him. Today he will meet his father and emperor again..."

Li Tai was at Li Shimin's feet, his voice choked and he cried loudly.

Li Shimin's thoughts were extremely complicated.

This is my own flesh and blood.

The flesh and blood of the closest relatives.

It was from him and Guanyin maid. Apart from Li Chengqian and Li Zhi in his infancy, there was no one in front of him who was closer to the child than him in this world.

Li Shimin's eyes were also red in an instant.

The past scenes flashed in his mind like a lantern. He could still remember Li Tai's appearance when he was young, his silly attitude when he was in a baby, his humorous interest when he was learning to speak, he was a little bit older, and his appearance when he was a young man.

Now seeing Li Tai kneeling at his feet, calling intimately the word "father" was filled with emotion, and Li Shimin couldn't help but cry.

As I originally thought, when I came to Yangzhou this time, I wanted to visit Yangzhou for a private visit, but I also wanted to see Li Tai again.

During the Tang system, vassal kings who were vassals from other places were not allowed to enter Chang'an. Chang'an was thousands of miles apart from Yangzhou, and if they were a private action like Li Shimin, it would take more than a month, but if they set out with great fanfare, it would be impossible without three or five months.

Now, the parent-child whom I had been thinking about day and night was right in front of me. When I heard his choking voice, Li Shimin was extremely moved and couldn't help but the corners of his eyes were wet. In the blink of an eye, his eyes were already blurred.

"Get up, the green bird doesn't have to be too polite." Li Shimin raised his hand.

Li Tai heard his father's voice and knew that his father was moved. He then felt relieved, got up tremblingly, and saluted with his hands crossed his hands: "Why did the father come from afar, and why didn't he see the ceremonial guards or the fast horses from Chang'an go first to send the message? It's really unfilial to the son and ministers not to welcome him from afar."

"I heard that Yangzhou has suffered a major disaster, and I want to come and see it." Li Shimin took a breath and tried to calm his mood. He looked at Li Tai, still looking old and polite. In every move, he was still a gentle and gentle gentleman: "If you make a big fuss, it will inevitably disturb the people. This time, I came here in a miserable way, not only to visit the disaster, but also to see the green bird."

When Li Tai heard his father coming to inspect, a big rock fell to the ground.

I have tried my best to deal with the disaster in Yangzhou.

Everyone praises it in the world, which is by no means a joke. In Jiangnan, at least Li Tai heard and witnessed it, almost everyone praised His Royal Highness Yue’s timely response to the disaster. The people were happy for this, and some even cried bitterly for Li Tai’s efforts.

Since my father is here, I think he has heard these clear discussions.

He bowed and said, "After hearing about the disaster, my son immediately came to Gaoyou County, which was the worst. The disaster in Gaoyou County is the most serious. This matter is very important. In order to prevent the people from being harmed, my son immediately mobilized the people to build a dike and ordered people to provide relief to the victims. Fortunately, God blessed, the disaster finally curbed some. My son... My son..."

He looked at Li Shimin carefully: "My son dared to say that during this disaster relief process, the scholars and people were extremely enthusiastic. Some were helping each other, and some were willing to contribute. Especially the Deng family of Gaoyou, who made great contributions. My son is here and relied on local scholars and people, so he has made some achievements, but... just..."

Li Tai then looked at Chen Zhengtai, and anger flashed through his eyes.

He said sadly and angryly: "Mr. Deng, whose name is Wensheng, is a loyal and kind descendant. Deng's family can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. They are the most generous and kind in the local area. They are passed down from the family through farming, reading poetry and books, and are even more famous in Jiangnan. Mr. Deng is humble and good at managing classics. His sons benefited a lot in front of him. In this major disaster, Deng also contributed the most. If they had not helped them, this flood would have harmed many lives. But today, Chen Zhengtai came here without any distinction and killed innocent people. Father, Mr. Deng's head fell to the ground today, not to mention right and wrong. If it were spread, it would be a shock to the world. The scholars and people in Jiangnan were surprised to hear such bad news. If this happened in the Tang Dynasty, what would the world think of his father? Father..."

After hearing this, Li Shimin's excitement suddenly disappeared, and his voice changed slightly: "Deng Wensheng has been by your side these days, right?"

"Yes." Li Tai was extremely sad and angry. Mr. Deng was his own person, but he was killed in front of him. If Chen Zhengtai did not pay the price, how could he be worthy of the Deng family in Yangzhou? Besides, the entire Jiangnan scholars were looking at him and restrained Yang. After the twenty-one states of Yue, once they lost their prestige, even the Deng family could not be preserved. How could they gain a foothold in Jiangnan?

Li Shimin said coldly: "But what I see and hear is not the case. What I see is that your relief and the Deng family are just a man-made disaster. Countless civilians were driven by the government and Latin everywhere, just to build river embankments and to preserve Deng family's fields, they would rather flood the land of the civilians than build dams near the fat fields of Deng family. What I see along the way is mostly dry bones, and the people are lying on the road, but no one cares about them. The villagers are exhausted, but they still recruit the people without restraint, and even women and children need to go to the river embankments. Are these what you call relief? Where did you use the relief money and grain I sent to you? Why can't the people who built the embankments even eat grain?"

Li Shimin's questioning made Li Tai stunned.

Li Shimin originally thought that Li Tai was unaware of it, but Li Tai was still polite: "Father, my Tang Dynasty ruled the world with the Deng family, not with the untouchables. Don't your father know how Sima won the world, and why did Emperor Yang of Sui destroy the world?"

Li Tai's voice was particularly clear. Even Chen Zhengtai stood aside and couldn't help feeling the chill on his back.

But Li Tai was particularly calm on his face. He looked at his father and was actually very calm.

Obviously, he thought he had mastered the great principles. After all, he was well-educated and dealt with many great scholars. Although he was young, his knowledge was far from comparable to that of ordinary Bai Ding.

Li Shimin looked at Li Tai in a complicated manner: "Hmm?"

Li Tai said: "The Sima family was supported by people like Deng. Emperor Yang of Sui did things in a rebellious manner, not only harming the people, but also alienating the people, which caused resentment from the heavens. A group of ignorant people, what principles do they understand and govern the world, as long as they rely on those aristocratic clans who are kind, righteous, filial and fraternal. Didn't the father do this? Otherwise, why did the children of aristocratic clans fill the courts in this court? If the Tang Dynasty did not have the support of these people, how could it be as prosperous as today? Those ignorant people, who do not even know right or wrong, do not know books, and naturally do not know what loyalty and righteousness are. Such people, even if they have hands and feet, are nothing but cattle and horses. They just need to use the art of controlling the people and drive them."

Li Tai said aloud, and the more he spoke, he became more and more excited: "Our Tang Dynasty can make the world stable, and they are already a great kindness. If they still exert grace on them, they will become more lazy and ignorant. This time, this time, the relief for Gaoyou, in order to deal with the disaster, large families like Deng, donated generously, offer suggestions, and went forward and retreat with their ministers and the government. But what about those people? They recruited them to the river embankment, but they walked over the wall to avoid the service. The government was helping the people, but some unlucky people gathered to become chaotic people and attacked and killed officials. The ministers were particularly lenient to them, but these shameless people who did not know the etiquette and morality still did not know the world's height. If they did not treat them severely, the world would have to be in chaos."

These words actually make sense.

At least in the court, many people think so.

This is actually nothing wrong.

After all, if you are Li Tai or other royal relatives, the one who stands in front of you is a person like Deng. They are gentle, humorous, and every move is gentle, and they are gentle and kind, which makes people yearn for a yearning. But when you stand on the other side, there are some people who are dirty and smelly. They don’t understand the elegant words you speak. When you quote the scriptures, they are dull and have no feelings. When you tell them loyalty and righteousness, they only touch their belly vulgarly, and they can only care about it every day.

It's just a few meals a day. You and him have different skin colors and language. The people in front of you have almost nothing in common except walking with you. When you manage the place, they also cause trouble every now and then. When dealing with these people, the so-called education you are good at is simply not feasible. They will only be shocked by your majesty. Once your majesty loses its effect, they will catch the lice on their bodies and be rude in front of you.

Because of this, it is not difficult to choose whether to choose Deng Wensheng or these unruly people and untouchables.

Such a theory may be difficult to be accepted in later generations, except for a few so-called pretentious people who are arrogant. However, in this era, there is a huge market, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a consensus.

Even Li Shimin could say that water could carry a boat and could overturn it, but how could he not have such thoughts? He was just the emperor, so he could not express such words explicitly.

Otherwise, how did those so-called emperor's art of controlling the people that had been circulated from the previous year come into the market?

only……

If Li Shimin had not seen the dead bones along the way and had not seen the woman being confiscated, he might certainly not agree with Li Tai. At least, he would have thought that Li Tai's words had some truth.

But at this moment, Li Shimin suddenly thought of what he saw and heard along the way.

Ci does not control the soldiers. He is a man who has led the soldiers, and his heart is like iron and stone.

But at this time, this heart of steel was also melting slightly.

He closed his eyes and felt a little sad.

The corners of his eyes were a little wet, but the wet corners of his eyes were the same, but the heart that he sighed for changed.

Li Tai looked up and looked very serious: "I don't know what my father saw along the way. I don't know what Chen Zhengtai said in front of my father. However, I only have one thing to ask my father. Today, Chen Zhengtai killed Mr. Deng without saying anything, but his father ignored it. Then people like Deng in the world will be disappointed. Is my father so cold to the hearts of the world just for a few despicable people? My son said this to be a plan for the Tang Dynasty and begged to make a decision to calm the hearts of the people."

Li Tai's words were decisive.

The lobby is solemn.

Everyone stared at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin suddenly said, "Qing Bird...Qing Bird..."

This should be a graceful and dignified king, and he is full of confidence at any time.

But at this moment, Li Shimin had just spoken and lost his voice. His voice was hoarse, and he only said a few words of green birds, and suddenly he felt like a thorn in his throat. He couldn't even say the words behind him.

Li Tai looked at his father and couldn't help feeling it at this time, saying, "Father..."

"Qingque..." Li Shimin took a deep breath and continued: "Do you really want me to deal with Chen Zhengtai?

Li Tai was about to speak.

Li Shimin waved his hand powerlessly: "You don't have to say anything anymore, listen to me now."

Li Shimin stared at Li Tai deeply, and felt sad: "Since you were born, I named you Li Tai, which means peace and peace in the country. This is my expectation for you and the expectation for the world. At that time, I was still fighting in the east and west, and I kept working hard for the four words of peace and peace in the country. What you said is not wrong. I am the emperor and should have the skills to control the people, drive all the people, and lay the foundation for my Tang Dynasty. I have worked diligently over the years, not just for this."

"But..." Li Shimin looked at Li Tai with gritted teeth, tears were about to flow out in his eyes. After all, he was a person who valued feelings. In history, there were many records about Li Shimin's tears. Chen Zhengtai, who was standing aside, didn't know whether these records were true, but at least now, Li Shimin seemed to be unable to control his emotions. Li Shimin choked up and said gritted his teeth: "But you no longer have a conscience. Have you only learned the art of controlling the people after reading books for so many years?"

Li Tai was stunned. Unexpectedly, his father made such a judgment on him. He had a bad idea in his heart and tried his best to argue: "Father..."

"Stop!" Li Shimin looked at him fiercely, put away his tears, and sneered at him: "Do you know why I cried just now? I'm here to tell you that this is because I have raised my son for so many years, and I now know that he has lost his heart and soul. I'm thinking about him, and what he is thinking about is such a heart-wrenching thing. Go out and see what the chaotic people you talk about have reached, and look at how far your minions have reached. You have read so many poems and books in vain, and you have learned the so-called etiquette and righteousness in vain. Is this what your benevolence is like? If you lose your heart, what is the difference between you and a pig or a pig or a pig or a pig or a pig or a pig or a dog?"

"The so-called truths you said have made me feel sad, and every sentence is killing my heart, making me feel ashamed. What I cry is that I have no son, and one of my sons is gone." Li Shimin said this with a tragic expression. He kept muttering: "One of my sons is gone, no more..."

Li Tai was already shocked. He knew that his father's words seemed to be filled with emotions, but he was so heartless. Li Tai felt that his great truth was recognized by many great scholars, so he naturally could convince his father. But he didn't expect that his father was indifferent to this.

Li Tai hurriedly bowed: "Father, son minister will die."

"I have no son." Li Shimin suddenly shed tears on his clothes again, then gritted his teeth, and looked at Li Tai coldly with red eyes. At this moment, there was no expression on his face: "Li Tai, I want to ask you now, I entrust you to control the people, and to the twenty-one states, I originally hope that you can govern the people here, but you are harboring evil intentions, and instructing the minions and harming the people. If I had not seen them in person today, I would probably be unimaginable that you were young and have a heart of wolves, and you were so sad that you were so young. At this point, you are still defending someone like Deng Wensheng and watching him. It can be seen that you have never repented so far. What crime should you... be punished?"

Li Shimin scolded him sternly, which made Li Tai, who had already worshipped the land, even more shocked and then became frightened.

He said to Ai Ai: "Father, please listen to me."

"What's that? Why do I listen to you here to confuse the public?" Li Shimin had no expression on his face, and these words popped out from his teeth.

"Father!" Li Tai was heart-wrenching. At this moment, he felt a little inexplicable fear.
