Chapter 586 Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world
"My son is stupid, please forgive me." Li Chengqian was startled, and quickly knelt down.
"stand up."
"The so-called winning the hearts of the people is simply a joke. When the Great Tang ruled the world, how many troops and people died at the hands of the Great Tang army when they attacked the city? Don't their families hate our Li family?"
"Qin's unification of the six countries won the hearts of the people? Did the chaos in China win the hearts of the people?" Li Shimin questioned.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Eighteen Routes rebelled against the king and attacked each other. Those soldiers who died in battle, and the civilians who were accidentally injured, who had no family?
Can they not hate the Li family?
This is simply impossible.
You can't tell the families of those people that I killed them in order to calm down the world as soon as possible and give you a stable life.
As a matter of fact, the birth of any dynasty in ancient China was not selected by the people out of warmth, but by fists, troops, swords, spears, swords and halberds.
The establishment of which dynasty was not full of blood and rain, and which "world" did not come from the deterrence of a powerful army.
Without corpses strewn across the fields and rivers of blood flowing, there would be no establishment of a new political power. This is the indifferent but true fact.If Liu Bang, Cao Cao, Kublai Khan, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Huang Taiji were to answer this question, they would definitely say with one voice: There is no shortcut to winning the world, only hard power.
The Mongolian Yuan army and the Qing army were both alien races. When they invaded the Central Plains, they did not regard the Han people as human beings at all. Most of the people in the Central Plains were afraid of them and did not recognize them at all. Therefore, they could never really win the hearts of the people, but in the end they still won the world.
Even the so-called "peaceful handover" of Wei Dynasty Han, Jin Dynasty Wei, Sui Dynasty Northern Zhou Dynasty, Song Dynasty Zhou Dynasty is simply a show.
Where does the real abdication come from, it is nothing more than manipulation in the name of force and power.
This explains the truth that the establishment of a feudal dynasty, especially a foreign dynasty, has nothing to do with popular sentiment, it is nothing more than conquest, massacre, conspiracy, and intimidation.
But is popular support really irrelevant to the regime?Of course it is.Not only that, the rise and fall of the regime is inextricably linked directly with the hearts of the people.
The premise of all this is that you must first become my citizen.
In history, even those foolish kings would order disaster relief when natural disasters occurred.
What for?
It's not that one's own world can be stabilized.
"Being kind to the people can make the world stable, but it doesn't mean you can rest easy if you treat the people well. You have to deter them, understand?" Li Shimin said.
"I understand." Li Chengqian said.
Li Chengqian was originally smart, but he didn't understand it before because of long-term concepts.
Now that Li Shimin has said it so clearly, if he still doesn't understand, he is a fool.
"You go, let Li Junxian treat others to go with you." Li Shimin said.
"Yes, Erchen retire."
As soon as Li Chengqian came out of Ganlu Hall, he ran into Li Mu.
"See Your Highness the Crown Prince." Li Mu saluted.
"Eunuch Li, don't be too polite." Li Chengqian waved his hand and left directly.
Li Mu walked into the Ganlu Palace, came to Li Shimin and saluted, "Report to Your Majesty, the old slave has passed the oral order to His Royal Highness King Wei."
"I have something to go to Da'an Palace, and you will stay here. If Qingque comes, tell him that I have something to do and I don't have time to see him." Li Shimin said.
He was afraid of seeing Li Tai, so he couldn't help it.
Not long after Li Shimin left, Li Tai came to Ganlu Hall.
"Please tell Eunuch Li that I have something to ask to see my father." Li Tai said to Li Mu who was standing at the door.
"His Royal Highness King Wei, His Majesty has an explanation. He is very busy and has no time to see you." Li Mu said.
Li Tai's heart skipped a beat, his face turned pale.
Li Mu asked directly without asking, obviously Li Shimin had expected him to come.
Now Li Shimin doesn't even see him. It can be seen that there is no possibility of him changing his affairs.
"No, this king can't give up like this." Li Tai roared in his heart, and walked away.
Li Tai did not leave the palace, but went directly to the Lizheng Hall.
He knew that the only one who could change Li Shimin's mind at this time was Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun did not refuse to see him, after a briefing, Li Tai was brought in.
"My sons and ministers see the queen mother." Li Tai bowed and saluted.
Empress Changsun smiled and said: "Qingque went back not long ago, why is it here again, is there something important?"
"Empress mother, why did the emperor suddenly pass down an oral order to let the son-in-law become a vassal? Did the son do something wrong to make the father angry?" Li Tai asked.
Empress Changsun sighed. Although she does not engage in politics, many things in the palace cannot be hidden from her.
"The prince should have gone to the fiefdom when he became an adult. Didn't Li Ke go too? It stands to reason that you should have gone last year. Your father couldn't bear you and kept you for one more year, but you can't stay in Chang'an forever, right?" Empress Changsun said.
Although she also wanted her son to stay in Chang'an, she knew that this was the best result.
"My son is reluctant to part with my father and mother, can my mother tell my father so that my son will honor you in Chang'an for a few years." Li Tai's eyes were slightly red, with a look of reluctance.
"The harem is not allowed to engage in politics. It's an ancestral precept. It's also an ancestral precept for a prince to become a vassal when he grows up. What do you ask the queen mother to say?"
"Okay, Yangzhou is a rich place, and the climate is very nourishing. You can go there with peace of mind. When the New Year comes, the Empress Mother will ask His Majesty to let you come back for the New Year."
Although Empress Changsun had a gentle voice, her tone was unquestionable.
Seeing this, Li Tai knew that Empress Changsun was hopeless, so he had to think of another way.
"Yes, I will go back and pack my things first, and I will bid farewell to my father, queen and queen when I leave." Li Tai bowed and retreated.

Da'an Palace
Li Yuan was playing mahjong with some concubines when Xiao Luzi walked in and said, "I would like to report to the Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty begs to see you."
"Six Cakes." Li Yuan played his card and said without turning his head, "Let him in."
Not long after, Li Shimin walked in.
"My son sees my father."
Li Shimin just saluted Li Yuan, but the few concubines of Li Yuan nearby didn't even look at him.
Those concubines were about to salute when they got up, Li Yuan said displeasedly: "Sit down and play cards, do you want to salute to me without looking at him? I am the biggest here."
The three concubines glanced at Li Shimin and sat down seeing that he had no expression.
When Li Yuan was in power, neither Li Jiancheng nor Li Shimin had any respect for the concubines in the harem.
Not to mention that Li Yuan is under house arrest now, these women are all recruited by Li Shimin to serve Li Yuan.
Whether it was for the sake of showing off or feeling guilty towards Li Yuan, even though he was short of money these years, he did not reduce Li Yuan's expenses. On the contrary, he chose many women for Li Yuan.
"Father, I have something to talk to my father about." Li Shimin said.
"I'm a bad old man, living in this cage, what's there to talk about." Li Yuan said absent-mindedly while playing mahjong.
Li Shimin didn't speak, just stood there.
"It's really troublesome." Li Yuan pushed down the cards in front of him and said, "You all go out."
