With Yun Yao's support, the prince said that any test is no problem, even if he is in a remote village, he is still the prince.

Li Shimin naturally knew that his most promising daughter was taken to the mansion by the prince when she returned to Chang'an. She didn't even go back to the prince's mansion, but she knew that the prince was asking her daughter for advice. Now she wanted to see if her daughter was looking for her father or brother. Li Shimin would summon her daughter tomorrow, and then she would let Yunyao make a choice.

Although the night was already very deep, the Prince Consort's Mansion was still brightly lit because Yun Yao wanted to prepare gifts for tomorrow's Saint. In addition to the map from Chang'an to Jiannan Road, there were also some books and small gifts collected along the way, which were not very expensive, just a thought. Anyway, Li Shimin did not lack valuable gifts, so it would be more sincere to prepare more geographical content.

Not only geography, but also climate records, and some astrological completions, these were completed by Yun Yao and the other three along the way.

After two years of walking, Yunyao said that he spent so much time making these records near Jiannan Road. Although he was deceiving the emperor, it was more convincing to say that he was drawing a map than saying that he went to Lingshan and came back.

It is still very meaningful to spend two years drawing a map of Jiannandao with a very small scale. You can draw maps from other places in the future, and finally the entire Tang Dynasty map can be presented.

Naturally, Li Shimin would not suspect that his daughter went to Lingshan, so the reason for drawing a map was quite sufficient.

When Yunyao presented the prepared map to Li Shimin, he was very happy, after all, his daughter did a serious thing.

"I haven't seen you for two years, Yun'er is becoming more and more beautiful. Come and sit with me." Empress Changsun has loved Yunyao since she was a child and has always regarded her as her daughter. She grabbed Yunyao's hand and looked at Yunyao carefully with her phoenix eyes. She found that the wind and sun were not left any traces on Yunyao's face. She can only say that Yunyao is born with beauty and cannot be envied.

Although the emperor was determined to ask the prince about it, he had to reminisce about the past. For two years, the queen kept talking about when Yunyao would come back.

"Mr. Concubine, can this trip go smoothly?" The emperor spoke to the Monkey King.

Huang Bixia thought that Yunyao was cheating on the emperor, but she felt a lot of pressure. She was afraid that she would be exposed. If the emperor found out, it would be a death sentence, so she could only bite the bullet and answer her question, and never say a word: "Your Majesty, everything goes well."

"Don't be nervous, this is a family banquet." The emperor asked the prince-consort not to be so restrained. He didn't know that it was not the prince-consort, but the guilty.

The emperor felt that the prince-consort was not worthy of his daughter, but the daughter chose it himself, so as a father, it was not easy to say much, as long as the couple was happy. He thought the prince-consort was too boring. Although he had good knowledge, it was too dull. He could only say that everyone had their own good. Perhaps the daughter was too smart, so he liked honest people.

I don't like honest people, but I like women.

After talking about the journey and talking about family matters, Li Shimin felt that the atmosphere was almost done, so he asked, "Did the prince hold a banquet yesterday?"

Empress Changsun thought to herself that it was finally started. She hoped that the father and son would not go to the point of turning against each other, but she also knew that as the emperor became stronger and stronger, as the emperor, Empress Changsun was the most passive one. Even if she had the wisdom of heaven, she could not solve this eternal problem.

Since ancient times, inheritance rights have been a problem. In ancient times, there were two inheritance methods: brothers died and brothers died and fathers died and sons died, so many things happened that younger brothers killed their elder brothers and sons killed their fathers. Although more than ten years have passed in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the clouds have never dissipated. Because the inheritance rights problem represented by the Xuanwu Gate Incident has never been resolved. In more than ten years, the prince has grown from a child to a young age, and has reached a threat.

The prince-in-law immediately felt that the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly dropped, and he thought to himself that it was the most ruthless imperial family. The emperor's father and son brother were maintained by interests. Once interests conflicted, there would be no father and son on the battlefield.

On the contrary, ordinary people can have a harmonious family, because ordinary people use moral alliances, so they can do as long as they comply with moral norms. The so-called false benevolence and false righteousness is actually a moral alliance on the surface, but it is a collusion of interests behind the scenes. Using moral alliances to cover up interests is what Confucius hates most, and he calls his hometown wishes. Confucius hates rural wishes better than villains. The opposition between villains and gentlemen can only be said to be different in interests. However, rural wishes are good at hiding among the people and good at back-stinging.

A villain is an enemy in the open face, and a village vow is an enemy in the secret. Even Confucius knew that open guns are easy to avoid hidden arrows and are difficult to defend against.

The interests of the imperial family surpass morality, so just now the father was kind and the daughter was filial, but in a blink of an eye it was undercurrents.

Yunyao admitted directly: "The emperor asked me for advice. Recently, the growth of ***'s power has become the target of public criticism. The emperor noticed the crisis, so he asked me how I should protect myself, but at the same time I can maintain the position of the prince."

Seeing Yunyao confessing so much, Li Shimin smiled on his face. Sure enough, his daughter was still his father's little cotton-padded jacket, and he didn't love her in vain. Since he was willing to confess everything, Li Shimin thought that his daughter was on his side and was happy. He drank a glass of wine and continued to ask: "He is greedy, how did you answer?"

"I just said that he was either the crown prince or not. If he wanted to protect himself, he should not be the crown prince. If he wanted to be the crown prince, he should not get out of his mind. Then he asked him how he thought about it. The prince still hoped to have a way of having the best of both worlds, so I gave him an idea to be both the crown prince and not the crown prince."

Li Shimin was curious, how could he be considered as both a prince and a prince? What is this statement? "Let me tell me what idea came up with."

"In the past, the position of the prince was determined by birth. If the position of the prince could be determined through assessment, wouldn't it be both the prince and the prince? Just like the imperial examination, the prince was determined through the governance results of counties, counties and roads." Yun Yao said: "In this way, whether the assessment standards are determined by the father, and the father and the emperor will not be opposed."

The emperor frowned, obviously thinking that this idea was too bold and there were many problems. Of course, it would be a good thing if he could just control the decision-making power over the prince, but would it cause chaos if he had all the princes join the assessment? It would even lead to betrayal in various places? It led to the prince becoming the fiefdom lord. After all, the emperor could not control them when the prince arrived at the local area.

However, if the military, government and finance are separated, the prince will not be able to cause great storms. Letting them manage government affairs locally can indeed train their talents.

But it still cannot ensure that the prince will not become bigger. It is still the same problem, that is, the emperor cannot avoid others becoming bigger and surpassing himself. This problem began in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The emperor can stipulate the position of the princes in sacrifice, but cannot limit their strength to grow. When the princes grow to surpass the emperor, the rituals and music will collapse.
