Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    With Yunyao's support, the prince said that any test would be no problem, and he was still the prince even if he was in a remote country.

    Li Shimin naturally knew that as soon as his most promising daughter returned to Chang'an, the prince took her to the palace to be cleansed. She didn't even return to the Prince Consort's palace, so he knew that the prince was asking his daughter for advice.  Now we have to see whether the daughter will turn to her father or her brother. Li Shimin will also summon his daughter tomorrow, and then Yunyao will have to make a choice.

    Although the night was already very late, the Consort's Mansion was still brightly lit because Yunyao was preparing gifts for the emperor tomorrow. In addition to the map of Chang'an to Jiannan Road, there were also some books collected along the way, as well as some small gifts.  It's very precious, it's just a thought.  Anyway, Li Shimin is not short of valuable gifts, so it would be more sincere to prepare more geographical content.

    Not only geography, but also climate records and some completion of astrology were all completed by the three of Yun and Yao along the way.

    After two years of walking, Yunyao said that he spent so much time making these records near Jiannan Road.  Even though he was trying to deceive the emperor, saying that he was doing it to draw a map was more convincing than saying that he went to Lingshan and came back.

    It is very meaningful to spend two years drawing a map of Jiannan Road with a very small scale. In the future, you can draw maps of other places, and finally the map of the entire Tang Dynasty can be presented.

    Li Shimin naturally would not suspect that his daughter had gone to Lingshan, and the reason for drawing a map was quite sufficient.

    When Yunyao presented the prepared map to Li Shimin, he was very happy. After all, his daughter had done something serious.

    "We haven't seen each other for two years. Yun'er has become more and more beautiful. Come and sit with me." Empress Changsun has loved Yunyao since she was a child and has always regarded her as her own daughter.  Grabbing Yunyao's hand, he looked at Yunyao carefully with a pair of red and phoenix eyes. He found that the wind and sun had not left any traces on Yunyao's face. It can only be said that Yunyao is naturally beautiful and cannot be envied.

    Although the emperor wanted to ask about the prince, he had to reminisce about the past first. For two years, the queen kept thinking about when Yunyao would come back.

    "Consort, is this trip going well?" The emperor spoke to his consort.

    Huang Bixia thought that Yunyao deceived the emperor just by opening his mouth, but she was under a lot of pressure.  She was afraid that her secret would be revealed. If the emperor found out, it would be a death penalty, so she could only bite the bullet and answer the emperor's questions without saying another word: "Your Majesty, everything goes well."

    "Don't be nervous, this is a family banquet." The emperor asked the consort not to be so restrained.  He didn't know that it wasn't the consort who was restrained, but a guilty conscience.

    The emperor felt that this consort was not worthy of his daughter, but the daughter chose him herself, and as a father it was not easy to say anything, as long as they were happy as a couple.  He felt that the prince-in-law was too boring. Although he was very knowledgeable, he was too dull. He could only say that everyone has their own merits. Maybe his daughter was too smart, so she liked honest people.

    It¡¯s not that I like honest people, but I like women.

    After chatting, I heard and heard that the parents were short.  Li Shimin felt that the atmosphere was about the same, so he asked: "The prince also held a banquet yesterday, right?"

    Queen Changsun¡¯s secret passage finally began. How much she hoped that the father and son would not turn against each other, but she also knew that as the princelings became more and more powerful, as the emperor, she could not sit idly by.  As a wife and mother, Queen Changsun is the most passive one. Even if she has great wisdom, she cannot solve this eternal problem.

    Inheritance has been an issue since ancient times. In ancient times, there were two inheritance methods: brother's death and brother's death, and father's death and son's inheritance. Therefore, there were many cases of younger brothers killing older brothers and sons killing fathers.  Although more than ten years have passed since the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the clouds have never dissipated.  Because the inheritance issue represented by the Xuanwu Gate Incident has never been resolved, in more than ten years the prince has grown from a child to the age of a weakling, and has reached the point of becoming a threat.

    The prince-in-law immediately felt that the atmosphere of the banquet had dropped sharply. The most ruthless emperor's family was secretly said. The emperor's father, son and brothers were all maintained by their interests. Once the interests conflict, there will be no father and son on the battlefield.

    On the contrary, ordinary people¡¯s families can live in harmony, because ordinary people use morality to form alliances, so as long as they comply with moral standards.  The so-called hypocrisy is actually a moral alliance on the surface, but it is a collusion of interests behind the scenes.  Using moral alliances to cover up interest alliances was what Confucius hated most, and he called it Xiangyuan.  Confucius hates country people more than villains. The opposition between villains and gentlemen can only be said to be due to different interests.  But Xiangyuan is good at hiding among the people and good at backstabbing.

    The villain is the enemy on the surface, and Xiangyuan is the enemy in the dark.  Even Confucius knew that it is easy to dodge an open spear but hard to guard against a hidden arrow.

    The interests of the imperial family trump morality, so a moment ago it was a loving father and a filial daughter, but in the blink of an eye there is an undercurrent.

    Yunyao admitted very directly: "Brother Huang asked me for advice. Recently,The growing power of the princelings has become a target of public criticism. The emperor noticed the crisis, so he asked me how I could protect myself and at the same time keep my position as prince.  "

    Seeing Yunyao being so frank, Li Shimin smiled. Sure enough, his daughter was still his father's little cotton-padded jacket, and his love for her was not in vain.  Since he was willing to confess everything, Li Shimin felt happy that his daughter was on his side. He drank a glass of wine and continued to ask: "He is greedy. How did you answer?"

    "I just said that he is either the prince or not the prince. If you want to protect yourself, don't be the prince. If you want to be the prince, don't think about escaping. Then I asked him what he thought about it. The emperor still hopes to have the best of both worlds.  method, so I gave him an idea to make him both the prince and not the prince."

    Li Shimin was curious, how could he be considered a prince but not a prince at the same time?  What is this statement?  "Tell me what you have come up with."

    "In the past, the position of the prince was based on the order of birth. If the position of the prince can be determined through assessment, wouldn't it mean that he is both the prince and not the prince? It is like selecting talents through the imperial examination. The prince is determined by the governance results of counties, counties and roads.  ." Yunyao said: "In this way, the standard for passing the assessment will be determined by the father, and the father and the emperor brother will avoid confrontation."

    The emperor frowned, obviously feeling that this idea was too bold and had many problems.  Of course, it would be a good thing if I could legitimately control the decision-making power of the prince, but would it cause chaos if all the princes participated in the assessment?  Even lead to betrayal everywhere?  This led to the prince becoming a fief lord. After all, the emperor could not control the prince once he was in the local area.

    "However, if the military, government and finance are separated, the princes will not be able to make big waves. Let them manage local government affairs, which can indeed train their talents.

    But there is still no guarantee that the prince will not become bigger.  It's still the same old problem, that is, the emperor cannot prevent others from becoming bigger than himself.  This problem began in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The emperor could regulate the positions of princes during sacrifices, but he could not limit their growth in strength.  When the princes grew up to surpass the emperor, rituals and music collapsed.

    If the prince goes to serve as an official in a county, will he create a system that surpasses that of the emperor?  Will he collude with the powerful nobles from all over the world?  In the final analysis, the imperial examination period was too short, and there was no scholar group to confront the nobles. The devolution of princes could easily lead to a situation of enfeoffed territory.
