"Zhan'er, let's have a drink with me...!" Li Shimin suddenly made a request to Li Zhan for a drink, but Li Zhan did not refuse, because Li Zhan knew that Li Shimin felt bad today. After all, who would feel good if he was killed by his younger brother?

Li Zhan also knew that Li Shimin was feeling uncomfortable at this time, so Li Zhan smiled and nodded, agreeing to have a drink with Li Shimin.

Soon... the eunuch brought all the dishes and fine wine. Li Shimin had three drinks of himself as soon as he came up. Li Zhan was a little stupid and quickly stopped Li Shimin and said, "Father, don't drink so urgently..."

"Hey...!" Li Shimin put down the wine glass and said, "You should know about the King of Han, right?"

"Uh..." Li Zhan said with a little embarrassment: "I know a little, but I don't know very well..."

"Hmph...!" With a snorted, Li Shimin said: "I have always misunderstood people. I have raised a ungrateful wolf. I actually want me to die so much. After all, I am his brother. What did I do wrong? He wants me to harm me like this?"

Although Li Shimin was a little drunk at this time, Li Zhan could hear Li Shimin's sadness. You should know that after all, his younger brother wanted to kill him. Although he was not the kind of kiss, he was also trained by Li Shimin since childhood. The other party hated him so much was something Li Shimin did not expect.

It is precisely because I didn’t expect that I feel sad that I think about it more and more.

"Zhan'er, do you think it's better or worse for your father to be this emperor?" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhan seriously.

Li Zhan said confidently: "Father, it should be the greatest blessing for the Tang Dynasty to become the emperor!"

"Oh...why, Zhan'er, can you explain it clearly?" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhan and asked.

"Since the time when the father came to power, he has implemented the system of military service, renting and tyrant system and equal land system, and actively promoted the imperial examination system. He defeated the Eastern Turks and was respected as the Khan of the Heavenly Khan. His father was good at obeying the criticism and opinions of ministers. Wei Zheng made direct advice and made clear his faults many times.

But you praise Wei Zheng for this. This is not something that an emperor can do. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are just like this.

In addition, the father was able to appoint people as virtuous people, know people well, use them well; open up the way of speaking, accept advice humbly, and value Wei Zheng, etc.; and adopted some policies based on agriculture, reduce labor taxes, rest and rest, practice rigorous economy, and improve the imperial examination system, which made the society peaceful.

And most importantly, the father took advantage of the reasons for the demise of the Sui Dynasty and attached great importance to the lives of the people. You emphasized that people are the first, and often said: "People are water; lords are boats. Water can carry boats, but can also overturn the boats."

Also, when you ascend the throne, you ordered light taxes and levies to allow the people to rest and recuperate.

You cherish the people's strength and never easily collect labor service. Even if you suffer from waist disease, you are obviously not suitable to live in the wet old palace, but you have lived in the old palace of the Sui Dynasty for a long time.

Under your leadership, the whole country was united and the economy quickly improved. In the 1989th year of Zhenguan, the ox and horses were everywhere, and the people had enough food and clothing, and they did not close their doors at night, and did not pick up their remains. A prosperous and prosperous scene appeared.

You also pay great attention to the selection of talents and strictly follow the principle of both moral integrity and ability.

It is believed that only by selecting a large number of people with real talents and knowledge can we achieve great governance in the world. Therefore, you are eager to seek talents. You have issued edicts twice, and the subjects of the imperial examination were increased, and the scope and number of people were expanded so that more talents could be revealed.

Because the father attaches importance to talents, a large number of outstanding talents emerged during the Zhenguan period, which can be said to be "full of talents, both civil and military." It was these pillars who used their intelligence and intelligence to make great contributions to the formation of the advantages of the Tang Dynasty at this time.

You also pay great attention to the rule of law. You once said: "The law of the state is not a law of the emperor alone, but a law that the world must abide by, so everything must be subject to the law." As a monarch above ten thousand people, you are an enlightened emperor.

After the law was formulated, the father set an example, took the lead in abiding by the law, and maintained the uniformity and stability of the law.

In the early days of Zhenguan, the father truly committed the crime of the prince's crime of the law and the people.

He was selfless when enforcing the law, but his father thought repeatedly when he was sentencing, and was very cautious.

You said: "A person cannot live again after death, and law enforcement must be lenient and simple." Due to your hard work, the legal system was in good condition during the Zhenguan period, fewer people broke the law, and even fewer were sentenced to death.

In the third year of Zhenguan, only 29 people were sentenced to death in the country, almost meeting the highest standard of the feudal society's legal system... "criminal measures" means that there is no punishment.

My son still remembers that the number of death row prisoners increased to 290 last year.

The father allowed them to go home to handle the funeral, and they would die if they came back next autumn (in ancient times, the execution was executed in autumn).

In September this year, all 290 prisoners returned, and none of them fled.

This shows that the Tang Dynasty was politically wise, officials performed their duties, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. There were very few unfair phenomena, and the Chinese people did not have much resentment. People with sufficient food and clothing would not take risks for survival; people with calm minds were not easy to go astray, so the probability of committing crimes was very small.

The people-oriented idea is to open up the road of speech, be humble and accept advice; value talents and be responsible for the principle of only being able to do things; be selfless and act in accordance with the law.

This is what my sons think of the father and the emperor in the hearts of the people. Therefore, the father and the Tang Dynasty have you fortunately, and this is also the blessing of the people of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Zhan was talking about it more and more, and all these things were Li Shimin's proud works. Just as Li Zhan said it one by one, Li Shimin's heart finally felt more and more relieved.

And because of this, Li Shimin liked Li Zhan more and more. This kind of love came from the heart. He never expected that his son was so familiar with his great achievements.

Being able to be so familiar with your great achievements means that your son admires and respects him in his heart.

The most important thing is that nothing is fake, almost everything Li Shimin did, and Li Shimin can experience it personally.

Finally, Li Shimin felt a little better and said, "Zhan'er, I know that what you said is sincere. I am really sorry at this time. Why... You lost it at the beginning. If my Zhan'er had been by my side, then there would be someone in the Tang Dynasty."

What this means is that I hope Li Zhan is the crown prince.

At this time, Li Zhan hurriedly said, "Father, it's actually good now. In this case, our father and son can be united without any grudges. Isn't this also good?"

After saying that, Li Zhan laughed, but Li Shimin did not speak, but raised his glass of wine to Li Zhan. Li Zhan hurriedly accompanied Li Shimin to have a drink.

At this time, Li Shimin said: "Zhan'er, you should take more care of the Tang Dynasty in the future. I have decided that I will attack Gaochang next year. You can go and experience it. When you come back, I will restore your identity.

By that time, our father and son will work together for the people of the Tang Dynasty... OK?"

"Everything is in accordance with the will of the father." Li Zhan finished drinking the wine in the wine glass in one gulp, and followed the father and son to smile.

The heavy snow was still falling outside, and Li Zhan and Li Shimin were still drinking and eating in the Ganlu Hall. What they didn't know was that there were already many people waiting outside the hall at this time, including Li Chengqian, who were all here to participate in Li Yuanchang.
