When Li Shimin was the King of Qin, who in the world didn’t know that the little Qin King was strong and arrogant?

Relying on Li Yuan's favor, he did not take the ministers in the temple who were in high positions and had no ability. Even Li Yuan's two most favored concubines could not catch him and looked at him with disdain.

Such behavior also caused many difficulties for him to compete for the position of crown prince later, and always put aside his elder brother Li Jiancheng.

"The prince must remember that the 16th is the first-rank prince of my dynasty. Don't worry that he is crazy. He is a meritorious and has a high status. He is not in trouble. When he is no longer crazy, you must pay attention to it."

This was how he was back then. When he was fighting for the prince's ambition, his actions were completely different.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "My son understand!" He paused, and then said, "In fact, the changes in Jiangnan are too great, which makes many people unable to sit still. Especially in this imperial examination, the son son is elected as an official, and the scholars in Jiangnan are redundant Central Plains and the northern part seem to have caused a lot of restlessness. These impeachments are rude to Uncle Sixteen on the surface, but in fact they are taking advantage of the problem... they are a little scared."

Li Shimin leisurely shook the bamboo recliner and smiled, "The emergence of the imperial examination was to break the monopoly of the aristocratic families in officials, but they didn't care at all. If they really wanted to take the exam, they would not lose if they controlled the general words of the article. But the appearance of this palace examination was equivalent to snatching their lifeline. No matter how good the exam was, the final choice was in the hands of the court. Their advantage was no longer, and panic was natural. Since they all wrote memorials saying that the Sixteenth despised the officials of the court, you should give the order for your father and scold him. Anyway, he was thick-skinned and would not take it seriously."

As a father and brother, it is normal for him to scold his younger brother if he has something to do.

"As for cotton, Shiliu knew in his heart that Jiangnan could not enjoy it for too long. But he was the only one who made this thing for purchasing seeds and making clothes and quilts. He was blushing at the sight of profits and was under the banner of being the court. This shamelessness was even more than Sixteen."

In terms of cotton, Li Shimin was certainly jealous of the huge profits, but he knew very well that Li Yuanai had done his best in this regard.

If someone else had to take all the results from invention to purchasing seed research and development and production in the Western Regions, he would have made a fortune in silence and made a lot of fun.

Even if the court clearly stipulates that officials should not go to business, even relatives are not allowed, it will be useless.

Li Shimin knew in his heart that there were policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom.

As long as you retreat behind the scenes and don’t participate in it, no one can do anything about it.

Li Yuanai directly gave up this profit and used it to develop Jiangnan.

The court received high cotton taxes, and Jiangnan gained huge room for development.

What else can I say?

When Li Zhi heard this, he felt a secret. With his father under his charge, and Xu Jingzong was criticized for taking the blame, what was he afraid of?

"What do your father thinks about Uncle Sixteen who built a port on the Malay Peninsula as a supply point?"

Li Zhi sincerely asked for advice, which was also his biggest deficit.

Strategic vision!

In terms of strategic vision, Li Zhi was too much inferior to his father Li Shimin. Although he established the largest territory of the Tang Dynasty during his reign, this was not a strategy and instead used people.

His handling of the Eastern Turks in history can be seen, leaving hidden dangers.

He could not accurately judge the gains and losses of occupying the Malay Peninsula at this moment.

After all, to occupy, you have to send troops, and then transport various supplies, etc., is a considerable expense.

Moreover, there will be such uneasiness factors when the army is alone overseas.

It may provoke wars in the south...

The south is covered with mountains and forests, which are mostly unsuitable for human habitation and are not worth fighting at all.

Simply put, it makes a big profit by moving troops to the Western Regions, a small profit by moving troops to the north, a small loss by moving troops to the northeast, and a blood loss by moving troops to the south.

The south wants no one, no money, no future, no future. Li Zhi is not the one who is afraid of trouble, but he is really afraid that something will happen to the south and will drag down the economy of the court.

With me like Li Shimin, Li Zhi is under great pressure.

Don't ask for anything more than, at least you can compete with each other.

Li Xiaojiu is also a very ambitious person. It can be seen from the name of Emperor and Emperor that he gave himself how sexy it is.

Li Shimin also read Li Yuanai’s memorial and wanted to test Li Zhi, and asked back: “What does the prince mean?”

Li Zhi said: "I believe in Uncle Sixteen's judgment. Once this shipping is opened, the Malacca Strait controlled by the Malay Peninsula will be a golden waterway. However, my Tang Dynasty territory is not connected with the Malay Peninsula. Will it cause uneasiness to stand in a few countries around us and lead to wars? Is it a bit unwilling to launch a war to the south?"

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good that you can consider this." He paused and said, "Do you know that the father saved Duke Wei from the knife?"

"I have heard of it!" Li Zhi said: "Donald Wei was the Sui minister at the time. He had insight into the great affairs of the Supreme Emperor and intended to report it to Jiangdu. He failed to make a move due to the blockage of the road and became a prisoner. The Supreme Emperor ordered him to be executed, and it was the father who saved him on the execution ground."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Yes, when my father saw that he was full of courage, he summoned him to the shogunate and used it as the three guards. But soon the father discovered the problem. Duke Wei was a talented man, especially in military affairs. His plan was no less amazing than Bai Qi of Qin and Han Xin of Han. However, we used different military styles and could not talk about tactical and style. Your father would not take his own style. I am the head coach. No matter how capable he is, he is also a subordinate. Later, in order to be unyielding, his father recommended him to Bashu to help Li Xiaogong."

"Who is right and who is wrong in the military differences between the father and the Duke of Wei?"

Li Zhi didn't know how to answer. Li Jing's military talent is obvious to all, and that is of the same level as Sun Wu and Han Bai.

How bad is Li Shimin?

When the Tang Dynasty was unified, Li Shimin's military achievements were extremely high. How could General Tiance be a false reputation?

Li Zhi pondered for a moment, and suddenly felt aroused in his heart and said, "I understand that my father is the commander, so it is naturally the father's right. My son should not look forward to it. My son is the crown prince. With my father behind him and the support of the Tang Dynasty, even if it is wrong, it is right."

Li Shimin smiled and said with a smile: "Yes, it's the most taboo to be undecided and have different government orders. So what if you make a wrong decision? Who has not made a wrong decision? There is a Tang Dynasty above and a good minister below, and you are supportive. The wrong thing is also right. Whether the Malay Peninsula is not important. No, it's just a loss of some benefits. When we eat meat, we always have to divide some soup. If you want it, don't be afraid of telling people that they are ugly in their food, let alone cause turmoil. You can't stop jealous of profits, let alone want it, and be afraid of war, and look forward to the future."
