Datang: My identity as prince was exposed by Li Er

Changle thought for a while, then spoke softly:"There is such a theory, I don't know if it is right or not."

"Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies. If you want to understand this sentence of Lao Tzu, you must first understand how the ancients cooked small delicacies in the era when I lived."

"Xiao Xian is a small fish. The ancients cooked small fish without removing the scales or intestines. After putting it in the pot, the most taboo thing was to stir it frequently for fear of breaking the small fish... In fact, the same goes for cooking big fish. You need to stir it frequently. , the fish meat will fall apart. From this,"governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies" can be extended to mean that cooking small delicacies should not be disturbed, while governing a big country should not be troublesome. If there is annoyance, people will be overworked, and if there is disturbance, the fish will collapse."

After Changle finished speaking, he looked at Li Shimin and Kong Yingda nervously.

Jing!

The two of them seemed to be petrified in silence.

Kong Yingda seemed to be thinking about it, and after a long time, he patted his thigh:"This...makes sense!"

"This idea is very novel. It has to be said that it is another interpretation of Laozi, and the interpretation is so remote and intrusive."

"very good!"

Li Shimin didn't think so. He worked hard to govern the Tang Dynasty for seven years, and constantly tried to intervene in the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty.

However, the harder he tried every time, the more severe the backlash he encountered.

In this way, Li Shimin gradually came to appreciate Lao Tzu. To rule by doing nothing.

Until now, Changle's explanation has completely made Li Shimin clear.

He couldn't help but said excitedly:"Okay! This is beautifully said!"

"I didn’t expect, Changle, that you would actually think like this, it’s really commendable! Changle lowered his head shyly, then raised his head and said to Li Shimin:"Father, I didn't say this, and I don't quite understand whether it is right or wrong.""

"right! Quite right!"

"Wait a minute, you didn’t say that? who?

Changle said:"Li Yi is cooking fish in front of Hongwen Hall today.""

All of a sudden.

Kong Yingda exploded:"Nonsense! How could a noble place like Hongwen Hall be like fireworks?

Changle continued:"Then he said these words.

Kong Yingda's eyes lit up:"Very good!" The roasted fish is cooked well, very delicious!"

Changle:"……"

Li Shimin:"……"

The two of them were speechless.

After a long time, Li Shimin waved to Chang Le:"You go back first."

Chang Le stood up and left.

Li Shimin looked at Kong Yingda blankly, and then asked:"Master Kong, what do you think of this son Li Yi?"

Kong Yingda's face was as bright as spring breeze, and he shook his head and said:"Congratulations, Your Majesty, this son is a great talent, and at such a young age, he can achieve Such a profound enlightenment……"

"Don't talk to me about anything else. I ask you, what if this son governs the country?"

Hiss!

It's time to make it clear!

Although Li Shimin vaguely revealed Li Yi's identity in Ganlu Hall, before he made it clear, these ministers could only pretend to be confused.

Now that Li Shimin's eyes are directly on Kong Yingda, what can Kong Yingda do? He couldn't pretend to be confused.

He thought carefully for a long time before giving a pertinent answer:"I feel that this son has wisdom, strategy, and means.

Li Shimin nodded:"I understand."

He thought for a moment and suddenly asked:"What has the prince been doing recently?""

Kong Yingda was frightened.

There will eventually be a choice between Li Chengqian and Li Yi.

How to choose depends entirely on Li Shimin himself.

Kong Yingda will not deliberately belittle Li Chengqian just because he likes Li Yi.

He said:"His Royal Highness has been very peaceful recently. , rarely go out of the East Palace, and often invite some people to the East Palace to visit and discuss knowledge."

The tangled look on Li Shimin's face disappeared in a flash.

Li Chengqian began to work hard to get stronger.

As a result, Li Shimin began to be tangled. He was still a little undecided when choosing between Li Yi and Li Chengqian.

……

East Palace!

There have been a lot of guests in the East Palace recently, which is a bit strange.

Every evening, when the gates of the city are about to close, there are always some people meeting the prince. They never go through the main entrance. They are all led into the back courtyard from the south gate of the East Palace by Li Chengqian's trusted eunuchs.

There is a vast pond in the back courtyard of the East Palace, which is filled with water from the Qujiang River. There are pavilions and pavilions in the middle of the pond. Every evening, Li Chengqian summons some people to the pavilion in the center of the pond to arrange wine and food and hang up palace lanterns. A group of people were talking loudly in the pavilion, reciting poems and composing poems, imitating the legacy of the madmen of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The sound of laughter often came from the pavilion far away, and the guests and hosts often stayed up all night before the guests and hosts dispersed.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is a very normal social behavior. Li Chengqian has recently been uncharacteristic and has gradually stopped womanizing. He invites three or five friends to gather in the pavilion to talk about the past and the present. This is obviously much better than indulging in drinking and sex all day long. Look at the East Palace. In the eyes of subordinates Yu Zhining and others, since Li Shimin had the idea of ​​Yi Chu, His Highness the Crown Prince changed his ways in fear and finally corrected his evil ways and embarked on the right path. At least for now, His Highness can no longer be seen indulging in wine and sex all day long. Looking decadent, talking about the past and the present with a few friends in the pavilion is indeed a good sign, and it has a new atmosphere of positivity and progress.

Therefore, Li Chengqian's frequent gatherings of friends in the East Palace were noticed by many ministers of the East Palace, including Li Shimin's spies. Everyone was very pleased and happy to see the results. And Li Chengqian did not disappoint everyone. He studied diligently during the day, and famous officials and scholars such as Yu Zhining, Cen Wenwen, and Zhang Xuansu did their best to teach the prince knowledge. In the evening, he invited three or five friends to recite poems, compose poems, and talk about ancient theories. Today, with such a change, even Li Shimin of Tai Chi Palace softened his expression slightly after hearing the informant.

In fact, if Li Chengqian really continues to live such a positive and progressive life, his current crisis and shaky status may not be irreversible.

It's a pity that everything Li Chengqian did was just an appearance, a show to deceive the world.

He did invite many people into the pavilion in the back courtyard to talk about the past and the present, but the loud talk was only deliberately spread out so that people in the East Palace could hear it. Most of the time, they were whispering, but they were planning a thrilling and treacherous event.

It is also a good idea to choose a pavilion in the middle of a pond. The pavilion is surrounded by water, and there is no possibility of eavesdropping by others. This can ensure that secrets are not spread to the outside world to the greatest extent. All irrelevant people were expelled from the pavilion, leaving only a group of extremists who wanted to rebel and seek the country. Everyone held Li Chengqian in the middle like a star over the moon. As they spoke word by word, a major conspiracy to rebel was revealed in everyone's eyes. The plan gradually built up a framework, fleshed out the flesh and blood, and truly turned into a possible conspiracy to usurp the throne.

The people attending the party were all acquaintances of Li Chengqian. No matter whether he was a good person or a bad person, he always had a few friends around him. Some friends were up to par, and some were not. Unfortunately, there were not many friends around Li Chengqian who were up to par.
