Chapter 51 Questioning



[Is this even worth considering? It's naturally the child's fault.]

[That's right, not everything adults do is for the good of their children. If the children could understand their parents' painstaking efforts, they wouldn't end up like this.]

Zhou Jia said:

"I don't want to say any more nonsense with you, but have you ever thought about this: if Li Shimin had been a little more patient with his son, and paid more attention to those ministers when they made remonstrations and impeachments, would Li Chengqian not have taken such an extreme path later?

I still say the same thing, Li Chengqian was indeed wrong, and I will not make excuses for him. It is indeed inappropriate for him, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, to like the culture of another country, but is Li Shimin really innocent?

Did he fulfill his responsibilities as a father? Furthermore, what was his intention in doting on Li Tai? It's a bit outrageous that Li Tai's living expenses were almost the same as those of the crown prince. If Li Tai lived like a crown prince, then what about Li Chengqian? Was his position as crown prince secure?

It has been said since ancient times that the position of crown prince is more difficult to hold than that of emperor. But to be fair, how many of these tragedies of crown princes in history were truly caused by their incompetence, and how many were caused by their fathers' suspicion and distrust, as well as the desire for competition among all the princes below?

Li Shimin rewarded Li Tai with the title of Crown Prince. Wasn't this simply using Li Tai as a whetstone? Both sons were manipulated like tools, and what was the final outcome? Li Tai's ambitions swelled, and Li Chengqian was forced to abdicate. Who do you blame?

Li Tai?

He was a prince who was just eating, drinking and having fun, but suddenly he was given so many rewards comparable to those of a crown prince. In Li Tai's opinion, wasn't that his father's intention to let him replace the crown prince?

Li Chengqian?

Doesn't it seem to him that his father is not satisfied with him as the crown prince and wants to train his younger brother again?

Who allowed the brothers to kill each other? In the final analysis, wasn't it the emperor himself who was responsible? Wasn't it Li Shimin himself who committed the sin? Who should be blamed?

Zhou Jia's words were as harsh as ever.

Li Shimin stammered, wanting to explain something, but his throat was so dry that he couldn't utter a word and closed his eyes silently.

Maybe Zhou Jia was right, and he had indeed done something wrong.

Empress Changsun shed tears silently, feeling sorry for her husband and her children, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

Emperors of all dynasties silently pondered Zhou Jia's words and found that they seemed to make sense.

Zhu Yuanzhang held Empress Ma in his left hand and Zhu Biao in his right hand, and said firmly: "So in my heart, the only heir is Biao'er. If you dare to make trouble, I will kill you!"

He cast a gloomy look at his sons standing in a row below.

There was no one in the Zhu family who was not afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang. The princes trembled and immediately expressed their loyalty.

"Dad, we all trust Big Brother. As long as Big Brother is here, we will definitely help him protect our Ming Dynasty. Those things they did to seize the throne will never happen again."

Seeing his brothers being frightened into quails, Zhu Biao looked helpless, "Okay, Dad, don't scare them anymore. I believe them."

The younger brothers looked at Zhu Biao with gratitude.

Their eldest brother is still the best. They must be crazy to want to rebel against their eldest brother. They wish their eldest brother would become the emperor. Only when their eldest brother becomes the emperor will they not have to be afraid.

However, Zhou Jia mentioned him not just to talk about Li Shimin.

"In fact, it's not just Li Shimin. There's another person, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the more familiar Emperor Kangxi, Aixinjueluo Xuanye, who was also a Gu breeder. Here in Kangxi, we have a very famous historical event called the Nine Dragons Fighting for the Crown Prince!"

clear

When Kangxi heard Zhou Jia's words, his face suddenly changed. His sons and ministers immediately knelt down and secretly looked at the people around them. Kangxi, sitting on the dragon throne, silently turned his jade ring.

Zhou Jia didn't give him any face at all.

"In fact, Kangxi's crown prince, Aixinjueluo Yinreng, was also a very unfortunate crown prince, but he did not appear in the video. However, I will talk about this crown prince later. We will also continue to talk about the Nine Dragons' fight for the throne when we talk about Yinreng.

As for those who favored other princes and thus destabilized the Crown Prince's position...

I have to say something for these poor princes. I know that there is no friendship in the royal family, but I am shocked that you can make yourselves and the next heir into mortal enemies.

No matter how much the emperor didn't want to admit it, everyone will grow old and everyone will die. When people get old, they tend to do stupid things. All emperors have experienced this.

But no one cares. You still don't want to give up the power in your hands, so you are suspicious of the prince you chose, fearing that you will die at the hands of the prince you chose."

She was speechless when she said this.

"I don't quite understand what kind of train of thought this is. You chose the Crown Prince, and the future of the country. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, the position of Crown Prince will be his. Is he just idle and has nothing better to do than to rebel against you? If you weren't doing anything, would the Crown Prince rebel against you?

On this point, there is an emperor who forms a sharp contrast with you, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhu Yuanzhang you just saw in the video.

He was very good to his crown prince. All his younger brothers knew that as long as Zhu Biao was there, there would be no possibility for them to succeed to the throne. However, these younger brothers also admired and recognized their elder brother Zhu Biao very much and none of them were dissatisfied.

So, if you want your children to be brothers and sisters, could you emperors please express your stance? If you like the Crown Prince, you should have an attitude. The Crown Prince is the Crown Prince, the future Crown Prince. Whoever dares to mess with the future Crown Prince can do it. Have you seen in the past few years whether anyone dared to do anything to the Crown Prince.
