"Father..."

Li Yuan's words moved Li Shimin and he lowered his head and said, "The son minister does not care about the name of the Khan of Heaven. The glory of the Tang Dynasty is the glory of the son minister."

"Father knows!" Li Yuan looked complicated and sighed: "No one knows sons is better than father... Ha, I really feel ashamed to say this... The father has always boasted of being kind father, but in the past two years he realized that he was just a confused father. The father reflected on himself and finally realized that the situation today was caused by his own crimes. The father raised an army in Taiyuan and unified the mountains and Tang dynasties for a few years. Ordinary people think that the father saved the people of the world in a boiling manner, and was purely public, so he was destined to be protected by God and gained the world. But who knew what the father lost for this world? Taiyuan Ju

The incident caused the involvement of Hedong's hometown. Except for Jiancheng and Yuanji, all the children, grandchildren, servants and concubines were killed. The father lost his father and brother since childhood, and he succeeded as Duke at the age of nine, but he failed to feel the feeling of family affection. After dreaming at midnight, he was extremely sad. The father was always busy, so that his children and grandchildren had fathers like no fathers. They were even tired of tragic deaths, and they were worried, and they cherished you very much. So much so that they had committed a great mistake... I have been as big as the treasure for many years, and have indeed indulged in you. Looking at the past and present, I have not found an emperor like the father, who has loved his son deeply, and has taken the etiquette of the king and his ministers indifferently because of his deep love."

Li Shimin lowered his head and refused to speak, but he agreed with Li Yuan's words in his heart.

Li Yuan's favor and indulgence towards their sons is truly unprecedented.

I would like to ask whoever had an emperor who would indulge his son to own troops and open a mansion, divide power and cede land, and even influence the authority of the imperial edict.

Li Yuanxu said: "As the saying goes, there is no two days, the people have no two masters. But the father's indulgence towards you led to the arrival of the Crown Prince's Order and the Two Kings' Order. Officials are just like imperial edicts. If there is a conflict, the order of arrival shall be based on the order of arrival, and there is no difference between big and small. You and Dalang and Silang have no name as emperor, but they hold the same power as the emperor. You have been showing off since childhood. With this power, how can you not touch his heart? The father is self-righteous and unilaterally think that you brothers are united... I really never thought that you almost created a tragedy of human relations. Fortunately, a big mistake has not been caused. The result is not good, but it cannot be considered bad."

"Son Master..." Li Shimin's throat was hoarse. In front of his father, he could not deny that the position of the prince was indeed inappropriate.

Li Yuan told him not to continue, "Although this is the ancestral teaching of the old age, how many emperors have strictly followed it from ancient times to the present? Your father is not a pedantic person. He also wants the Tang Dynasty to last forever and will last forever. Erlang has built half of the country for the Tang Dynasty. I don't know how you have made me your contribution. It is not that no one suggested to me that the King of Qin was very meritorious and should be made the crown prince. In this regard, I did not consider it, but after many careful considerations, I chose your elder brother. It is not because of the ancient teachings or because of the father's bias, but because the father thought Dalang was more suitable. At least in the eyes of the father at that time, Dalang was indeed more suitable than the ones..."

Li Shimin was dissatisfied.

Li Yuan said: "The most proudest thing about your father in his life is that he has Dalang, and you have the three children of Pingyang. You are all the people. You have the ability to do things far better than others. With children like you, how can your father not be proud? But you have different personalities. Dalang is gentle in nature, and is well-behaved in everything, and has a basis for reason. You are strong and strong, although you are both wise and brave, but you like to compete and be competitive, full of ambitions. As for Pingyang, you are upright and upright, and have both friendship and friendship. You are also a woman who is not as good as a woman.

A strange woman with a bearded man. People in the world are proud of having a qilin son. I have three fathers, and I have already met. Pingyang is the daughter's family. The prince of the Tang Dynasty, the future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is undoubtedly among you brothers. You all have the intelligence of the talent and intelligence, but the father believes that the world's first chaos requires governance, consolidation, not excessive ambitions. Your elder brother has the ability of Wenjing, but you have the ambition of Hanwu. The father is afraid that you will become the second Yang Guang."

Li Shimin thought that his father could see him so thoroughly, and hurriedly said, "My son will never follow Yang Guang's footsteps."

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Now people abuse Yang Guang, and demoting Yang Guang is worthless. But in fact, those of us who have the opportunity to understand him should know that Yang Guang is not useless. He is not bad at all, but he just does not see the essence of the world clearly. After the chaos in the previous dynasty, the people were determined. Emperor Wen Yang Jian was very good at accumulating wealth. Although the national treasury was abundant, he was a typical country with a wealthy and weak people. Faced with such a situation, as the king of a country, the first thing he had to do was to make the people rich as well. But Yang Guang was too ambitious and ambitious, so he directly designated his reign as a "big cause" with the intention of achieving great achievements. Unfortunately, he was too ambitious and did not govern the country well, and made the people rich. Instead, he continuously exploited the people's strength, which directly led to the demise of the Great Sui Dynasty."

Li Shimin listened carefully and agreed with Li Yuan’s words.

To be fair, Yang Guang does have extraordinary intelligence and courage. In terms of everything he does, it is impeccable moral politics.

In order to better control North China, he built the eastern capital Luoyang; in order to make the Jiangnan and China more closely connected, he dug the Grand Canal of the North and South, and toured Jiangdu several times; in the construction of national infrastructure, he dug long trenches, built the roads, and built the Great Wall; in the Wulu, he went out to the frontier to the north to patrol the Turks, fought south to Linyi, west to advance to the Western Regions, reopened the Silk Road, defeated Tuyuhun, and re-incorporated Qinghai Province into China's territory. It was also significant in foreign exchanges. He sent envoys to Persia, crossed the sea to Nanyang, and contacted Fusang.

To put it in detail, Qin Emperor and Han Wu were just like this.

However, there is a detail that must be understood: Qin has a century-old foundation. Since Shang Yang's reforms, most of the Qin kings in all dynasties have been very talented and strategic. The only one who is inferior to the incompetent is a prime minister like Lu Buwei who controls the government and is so powerful that his national strength is far superior to the six countries. Even so, Qin Shihuang spent a full ten years to unify the world. Emperor Wu of Han possessed the savings left by Wen Jing. From the second year of Yuanguang, he began to lure the Xiongnu in Mayi and Wei Qing to go out of the border to kill thousands of miles to Zhao Xincheng. Huo Qubing sealed the wolf and arrived in Xushan, and fought for a total of fourteen years.

And what about Yang Guang? In the fourth year of Renshou, it only took eight years to complete all these great achievements.

Later historians recorded that in the eight years before the attack on Goguryeo, Yang Guang set up a total of 22 grand projects, requisitioning more than 30 million people. These are all recorded, and there are many projects that cannot be calculated without clear records.

The terrible number of 30 million people is that of a terrible number. You should know that when the Sui Dynasty was at its peak, the number of people was only 46 million.

The eastern capital Luoyang was built, and the construction was completed in ten months. The Yongji Canal, Tongji Canal, the north-south Grand Canal, which was opened for several months, was driven out.

This era is not the 21st century. There are not so many advanced technologies. All large-scale projects have to be completed little by little by little by little by manpower and the weak bodies of the people's migrant workers.

The faster the project progresses, the greater the manpower consumption: when the Dongdu was built, the number of people was 2 million per month, and the number of people died was 455. Daye produced one million in three years to build the Great Wall, and the result was 566. When digging the canal, migrant workers worked underwater for a long time, and maggots grew on their waists and drilled into their bodies.

Yang Guang only has his own great achievements in his eyes, and he can understand the suffering of the people!

This can also explain why the people of the Sui Dynasty had to cut off their hands and feet in order to escape the terrible service, and happily called their broken hands and feet "Baoshi". What a miserable thing this is. Faced with such a miserable situation, the people laughed so hard that they would not have to do corvee service if they were disabled.

Whether it is the building of the Great Wall or the building of the Eastern Capital, digging the canal will benefit the great virtues of the great achievements of the future. However, these virtues are completed by officials using whips and knives to force the people to work regardless of life and death, and step on the corpses everywhere.

This so-called "moral politics" is tyranny.

The whole world died in service.

This is a crucial point for the demise of the Sui Dynasty, and another point undoubtedly is the conquest of Goguryeo.

The people are already living in poverty, so Yang Guang set his sights on expanding territory and building Goguryeo...

The Sui Dynasty was haunted even if it was not destroyed by Yang Guang's torture.

In fact, as for the legacy left by Yang Jian to Yang Guang, even a mediocre leader can maintain the destiny of the Sui Dynasty with his inheritance. But Yang Guang was not a mediocre leader. If the mediocre leader dies, he would do nothing, but the tyrant could use the people's power unrealistic for his ambitions. So the rich second generation with the richest wealth made him completely defeated in just a few decades.

The huge empire died in the second lifetime.

Li Shimin suddenly woke up and understood why Li Yuan liked his elder brother Li Jiancheng so much, rather than the more outstanding contributions. He always thought that Li Yuan was biased towards Li Yuan, but he didn't know that he was afraid that he would become the second Yang Guang. He knew him and his courage and ambition were even better than Yang Guang.

The foundation of the Tang Dynasty is far inferior to that of the Sui Dynasty. Be careful that if he becomes the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his talent will not only not bring prosperity to the Tang Dynasty, but will instead push the Tang Dynasty to an end of destruction and follow in Yang Guang's footsteps.

"Father, the son minister is not Yang Guang. Yang Guang regards his own ideas above everything else. For his ambitions, he regards the lives of the people as a tool for his great cause, and enslaves them infinitely. The son minister cannot do it... It is not that the son minister is more kind and noble than him, but that the son minister understands a truth." Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan and said cautiously: "The king is a boat, the people are water. Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn the boat. As the emperor, Yang Guang stood above millions of people, thinking that he could dominate everything, but he did not know that it was because of thousands of people that he could become the king of a country. If he did not receive the support of the people, he would eventually be overthrown by the people." (To be continued)
