"Because Yang Guang abused labor, Wei Wentong, Wang Wanchang, Zhai Rang, Wang Bo, Liu Badao, Sun Anzu, Gao Tuda, Dou Jiande, Zhang Jincheng, Liu Yuanjin, Du Fuwei, Meng Haigong..." Li Shimin said the names of the leaders of the sixty-four peasant uprising troops in one breath, saying: "If they had not disturbed the world, I, Li Tang, would not have been able to take advantage of the troubled times to advance to Guanzhong and unify the world."

Li Yuan looked at Gao's son in front of him with a touching look and smiled with relief.

Yang Guang's talent and strategy did not make the Sui Dynasty prosperous, but instead fell into a rare turmoil because of him. In just six years, sixty or seventy peasant uprisings emerged in the peaceful Sui Dynasty, which directly disrupted the situation in the world and pushed the Sui Dynasty to perish. So much so that the Sui Dynasty, which was as bright as a meteor, died in the second generation.

As the founder of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan did not want to follow in the footsteps of the previous dynasty. He would destroy the world that he had finally won and the Li Tang Dynasty that he had finally made was destroyed.

Li Shimin had ambitions that were no less than Yang Guang, and had only "Wrong" "There is a talent that is even better than that, what Li Yuan feared most was that Li Shimin would follow Yang Guang's path because of his ambition and talent that pushed the Tang Dynasty into the abyss.

Even the wealth left by Yang Jian cannot withstand Yang Guang's trouble. The Tang Dynasty took over the turbulent mess at the end of the Sui Dynasty. She was more confident than Yang Guang, and she could not withstand even more trouble.

It was also because of this idea that Li Yuan insisted that Li Jian became the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. He valued Li Jiancheng's political talent and believed that the Tang Dynasty needed to cultivate one's character and develop, and Li Jiancheng's stubbornness was suitable for consolidating the foundation of the Tang Dynasty and making the Tang Dynasty stronger.

But man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. The development of things exceeded Li Yuan's expectations. Li Shimin planned the Renzhi Palace incident and Li Jiancheng made serious mistakes in employing people.

In order to stabilize the situation, Li Yuan had to abolish Li Jiancheng and change Li Shimin.

Then Li Yuan continued to be the boss...

Li Yuan enjoys his temperament, but this is just one of the reasons for being a hand-off manager. Another reason is to exercise the ability to govern the successor to see if he has the ability and qualify to become the future monarch of the Tang Dynasty. If Li Shimin was as he thought, he was really similar to Yang Guang, he would stand up without hesitation and abolish Li Shimin's position as the crown prince and reconsider the candidate for the crown prince.

Li Yuan is unambiguous in this overall situation that concerns the country and the country.

So for the two years after Li Shimin became the crown prince, Li Yuan kept watching his son standing on the crown prince's seat behind him, exerting the emperor's power...

He had always been worried that Li Shimin's character would follow Yang Guang's footsteps, but as time went by, he found that he had completely underestimated his second son.

During the two years of Li Shimin's reign, he worked diligently and worked hard. What is his purpose? As a father, Li Yuan, as a father who re-understood his children, was clearer: he was still as competitive as he was intent on proving himself, proving himself better than his elder brother Li Jiancheng, and proving that he was more suitable to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty than Li Jiancheng. He wanted to do things that Li Jiancheng could not do and do great achievements that Li Jiancheng could not do.

The Tang Dynasty's strong enemy, the Turks, was his target.

Li Yuan also re-recognized his second son at this time. He found that while Li Shimin had ambitions comparable to Hanwu, he did not have the impatient mentality of Yang Guang. He was indeed eager to prove himself. He had long wanted to fight with the Turks. However, this eagerness did not have a negative impact on him, but became the driving force to inspire him. Not only did he not have military force, but he attached great importance to the people and economic development.

He was able to stay patiently and recuperate for two years while relying on Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji's wisdom and strategy to control the situation in the north, and to fight far and near, win over Xue Yantuo, secretly make arrangements to support Tuli to fight Jie Li, and use conspiracy to overtake the situation in the north; he ordered to support Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Cen Wenben and other government talents to govern the Tang Dynasty, restore the economy of the Tang Dynasty, and finally dispatch three armies when the Turks were at its weakest, and to decide the Turks in one battle.

While achieving brilliant results in this battle, the Tang Dynasty did not cause serious trauma to the Tang Dynasty's economy. All this has a lot to do with Li Shimin's diligent economic development in the past two years.

Today, when he heard Li Shimin's good words from the king of boats and water, all his concerns disappeared: he knew that Li Shimin, who could say this, could not become the second Yang Guang.

You can entrust the Tang Dynasty to...

"Ahem!" Li Yuan suddenly frowned, coughed twice, and said slowly: "This time, even if the father picked up a ready-made bargain. After this matter, I will tell you that the future of the Tang Dynasty will be handed over to you."

"What!" Even Li Shimin's cunning mansion could not help but be shocked when he heard Li Yuan's words. He looked at Li Yuan with some disbelief, then knelt down and said, "Why is Father? My son is still young, so I'm afraid he is not enough to take this great task."

Li Yuan shook his head and sighed: "My father is over 6 years old, and his health is already worse than before. Since Silang disappeared, his health has been deteriorating. Fortunately, he was enlightened by Shixin, and he also thought about it a little bit of hope. Now it seems that it is a bit of luck. Some time ago, Pingyang specially invited Doctor Sun to the palace to seek medical treatment for his father. Doctor Sun said that his father is old and his health is not as good as before.

Avoid drinking and avoid eating. You should not work too hard and keep your health safe. You can live longer, otherwise you may be in danger of life. However, your father didn't believe it and felt that the old man was exaggerating. Recently, because he was happy, he specially got up early to go to court to handle government affairs. It was okay for the first one or two days, but after a long time, he realized that he was powerless. He is old and it is not okay to not accept old age. You can't bear it, but you only agreed to inherit the Grand Priesthood when you see your father fall ill in the Tai Chi Hall, right?"

Li Shimin was speechless.

"That's it!" Li Yuan's expression became serious and said in a deep voice: "Your performance in recent years is nothing more than trying to prove to me that you are better than Jiancheng, and you are more qualified to be the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and become the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Today, you use your actual results to let your father understand that you really have the ability to be the king of the Tang Dynasty, and in some aspects, it is indeed much better than your elder brother. Now that the father recognizes you, you dare not take this great responsibility?"

Li Shimin knelt on the ground and said firmly: "My son will definitely live up to the expectations of his father..."

At this moment, with Li Shimin's wisdom, how could Li Yuan's purpose be seen: he taught him the last lesson before passing the throne, making himself realize that having ambition is not a bad thing, but transitional ambition is not a good thing if he goes too far, and it is likely to have a negative effect: Yang Guang is the best lesson.

Li Yuan bent down, helped Li Shimin up, held his hand, and carefully patted his palm: "I will leave it to you in the Tang Dynasty." (To be continued...)
