Li Shimin's mood was indeed much better.

He thought Chen Zhengtai knew that he was stimulated, so he wanted to use excuses to comfort him.

Moreover, Li You's rebellion caused great harm to Li Shimin. Chen Zhengtai wrote down these and submitted them to the Newspaper. To some extent, it could alleviate the criticism of the royal family in the market.

Therefore, Li Shimin sighed: "The only one who can win my heart in this world is the only one who can win over me."

This is Li Shimin's heartfelt words.

Although he is an emperor, even the emperor sometimes has a headache when he looks at these ministers. The gentlemen talk all day long, but they are dissatisfied with this today and scold this tomorrow. It seems that if they don’t scold Li Shimin for being so bloody, they are not gentlemen.

People with slick temperament often have higher selfishness, surrounded by him and flattered him every day, but Li Shimin is such a smart person, knowing that these people just want to get a higher position from him.

But Chen Zhengtai is different...

Li Shimin suddenly said to Chen Zhengtai: "What do you think of Hou Junji this person?"

This sudden question obviously became Li Shimin's concern.

Li Shimin was well versed in using people. He could always control his ministers easily, but there were times when he was misleading. In fact, he was very relieved about Hou Junji.

After all... Among the ministers and among the generals, there are not many people who are younger than Li Shimin and have the ability.

As for Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin, they are older than Li Shimin. In a few years, no matter how good they are in battle, they are already old. I wonder if they can still make a living.

This is also why Li Shimin especially valued Hou Junji. This person is a talented general. If one day his body fails and the crown prince is young, I don’t know how many people in the world are eyeing the court!

If the prince succeeds the Grand Priest, there must be someone who can be used around him.

However, this time the inspection of Taiyuan made Li Shimin alert. He realized that Hou Junji was not as loyal as he imagined, and this person had a slick side.

It’s actually nothing to be slick, who doesn’t have their own selfishness?

But in terms of Hou Junji's identity, he is not allowed to be slick, because he has great ability and high status. Li Shimin thought he could control him, but his son... could control a Hou Junji who was very cunning but only knew how to think about the best?

When Chen Zhengtai heard the three words Hou Junji, he actually knew it.

Your Majesty is suspicious of Hou Junji!

Chen Zhengtai thought for a while and said, "General Hou is a talented general and can stand alone. If he is given a military horse, there are only a few people in the world who can control him. This person has the courage to be inappropriate, and he can be called a famous general in the world."

This is by no means a simple flattery. In fact, Hou Junji is such a person.

Of course, Chen Zhengtai not only praised Hou Junji, but because of his words, it ended here.

This suddenly... made Li Shimin's face look particularly solemn.

Famous generals of the world.

He is very prestigious in the army and now he has become the Minister of Personnel and is considered the father-in-law of half the crown prince.

Such a person...the greater the ability, the greater the harm if he is not good in virtue.

Which of the people like Cao Cao, Sima Yi, and Chen Baxian is less capable?

Li Shimin immediately understood Chen Zhengtai's intentions. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "With both virtue and talent, virtue comes first, this is an eternal truth."

After his feelings, he obviously understood something. Then he looked at Chen Zhengtai and sighed: "Let him be the Minister of Personnel first, I have another arrangement."

He suddenly looked up at Zhang Qian: "Go and check it out."

Zhang Qian understood and nodded respectfully and said, "I obey the order."

Chen Zhengtai thought to himself, Hey, why do you hear Hou Junji be in trouble? But... did he say bad things about Hou Junji?

Li Shimin immediately said: "The selection of talents is a matter of extreme caution. When I was young, I only promoted talented people. The so-called "reduction of talents without any restrictions" is because I believe in my own talents and far superior to others. Even if someone has other intentions, I can still turn them to pieces. But now... I am older and feel that my body is not as big as before. Only then did I realize that human virtue is also a crucial matter! But the prince... always makes me worried."

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but say, "Have your Majesty heard some bad things about the prince?"

Li Shimin frowned: "He is too impatient and easily trusting others and does not have the ability to see people's hearts. This is a taboo for being a prince. If he becomes an emperor in the future, it is also a taboo for being an emperor. You always think that I am harsh on the prince, but... it's so good. If I only care about the father-son relationship and make the prince continue to be impetuous, how can he take on the world of the Tang Dynasty if he becomes an emperor in the future? The welfare of countless people is placed on the emperor. What the people are looking forward to is a wise king. Only in this way can they live and work in peace? Otherwise, like Emperor Yang of Sui and Emperor Hui of Jin, it caused turmoil, and these consequences will eventually be borne by the people of the world."

"I was born in the battle. I have been fighting in the south and north for so many years. I have never believed in the destiny of heaven, nor do I believe that anyone should be an emperor when he was born. This so-called destiny of heaven is just a doctrine that Confucian scholars fooled the people. When I didn't believe it, I raised an army to rebel against Sui and conquer the world. But now that I have become the lord of the country, although I still don't believe it, I will not stop Confucian scholars from promoting this."

"Some things, you know they are ridiculous, but now they have to stand on my side. But... If you believe it, then you will be foolish. The lord of the country is neither inherited by the destiny of heaven, nor naturally it is up to a group of Confucian scholars to promote the so-called destiny of heaven, so you can rest assured. I had the idea of ​​establishing Li Tai a few years ago, and it is precisely because of this! Because I feel that Li Tai is more stable, but in the end, Li Tai still disappointed me. This time, I was hit by Li You again, and I felt more and more that no one among the sons could be favored by everyone in the future. This is also what I am concerned about. There are countless people who died in the second generation in the past dynasties and in the second generation. What a hero, Emperor Wen of Sui, are they? But what is the final result?"

Li You's incident deeply stimulated Li Shimin.

Even if Li You really had the intention to be unjust, if he was more capable and more professional in rebellion, Li Shiminsheng would not have such concerns.

But Li Shimin discovered that many of his sons were illegitimate and his moral character was not good. This is a moral issue. Morality has nothing to do with the emperor. Which lord, wise ruler, is a person who talks about the five and four beauties?

But Li Shimin was worried about this stupidity.

At this time, Li Shimin said again: "Li You's lesson is that he is always surrounded by villains, and he brags about his achievements every day, making him less and less ignorant of the world. Isn't this the same thing? No one likes to listen to honest advice, but is willing to listen to flattery words and is surrounded by a group of villains. Naturally, there is no way to know the real situation. This is why, although I have been suppressing the aristocratic races, I always leave a little room for many people who criticize me. This is because sometimes I know that they criticize me because they have other intentions, or they have other intentions, but I must tolerate it, because once these honest advice deal with them, no one around me dares to tell the truth."

"I have been trembling over the years, like walking on thin ice. But can I do this, can my sons... do this? Look at Li Tai, who was following the leader of the aristocratic clans, thinking that this was to conform to the people's expectations. Look at Li You, who is still complacent and complacent when he died. He also has other sons. I don't say that they have bad records, but who can call him a hero? My crown prince... Li Chengqian, I have always heard him complaining in the East Palace recently, always saying that he is so difficult and I treat him harshly, but he doesn't know my painstaking efforts. Everyone in the East Palace obeys his will. If no one in the world criticizes him, then... he will be even more confident. In the end... what will he become?"

"But my eager expectation eventually became harsh. My love for my son has become strict discipline and inhumane. My painstaking efforts have also been in vain, and what has been brought about was complaints and dissatisfaction. Maybe in the future, they will become resentment. Li Tai, Li You, and Li Chengqian... I have been extremely afraid these days. People have gained wealth and glory from them, and they have reached the point of being crazy. Even Hou Junji is taking advantage of the situation?"

Li Shimin talked about Hou Junji again, and his face became particularly serious: "So what I have been worried about these days is not that I have lost a son, nor that I can't bear to kill Li You. What I am afraid of is... those sweet words will eventually ruin my son... Well? I am talking, what are you remembering?"

Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai calmly, but saw Chen Zhengtai take out the charcoal pen and cardboard again, lowered his head, and put the cardboard on his knees, and recorded the charcoal pen shortly.

Chen Zhengtai said: "Your Majesty's words are really too thoughtful. You must write them down. After you go back, you must show them to the princess to let her know the reason why a loving mother defeats her son. Only after living some life can we bring out the guy Jifan and find a strict teacher to teach him hard."

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and said, "You want to use me as a bad person."

Chen Zhengtai smiled bitterly and said, "My son is really helpless. It's really a matter of teaching children.My son is too unstable at home."

"Haha..." Li Shimin couldn't help but be amused by Chen Zhengtai's helpless look, and suddenly became much more happy: "Actually, Jifan is still young, so there is no need to blame him too hard. He has just learned to speak, so don't treat him too hard."

This is how people are. When talking about teaching their son a lesson, they can't help but hate them so much that they want to pick up the dogs and slap them a few more.

But once we talk about grandson and grandson, we will look at each other again. We forgot everything and throw it away, and the rest will be heartbroken!

Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "Your Majesty wants to discipline his son, and the son minister also wants to discipline his son. The principles are the same."

Li Shimin understood and nodded, "Then remember it, but I told you this not to let you remember it, but to know what I should do now?"

Chen Zhengtai said without hesitation: "This is easy. If Your Majesty doesn't feel sorry for you, don't let the prince stay in the East Palace all day long. There are many ways to experience the sufferings of the people. Instead of letting him in the East Palace, listen to flattery every day and complain about His Majesty's harshness on him every day, it's better to... just send him to Xining and stay for a year or two, and you'll have no problems."

"Send it to Xining?" Li Shimin stared at Chen Zhengtai.

Chen Zhengtai nodded and said, "Actually, most of our Chen family's disciples had clothes and food to open their mouths, and were idle every day. In order to revitalize the Chen family, the minister only did one thing, which was to send all these children to the mine to dig coal. After digging for a few years, they would lose all their bad habits. This effect is more effective than many principles, otherwise no matter how you punch and kick, how you teach, it would not be as effective as this."

Zhang Qian was frightened by the side and couldn't help but say, "Bold, can this be confused? Is the prince a child of the Chen family?"

Chen Zhengtai immediately said, "What is this? The prince is also a human being. Why can't he compare with the children of the Chen family? What is this Zhang Lishi's words?"

Zhang Qian was speechless for a moment.

Chen Zhengtai thought about wanting to educate his son well at home and was frustrated and was in a bad mood. At this time, Zhang Qian was lit by some of his fire, so he continued: "What's more, you don't have a son, how can you know the intention of your Majesty and someone like me who have a son? Zhang Lishi should not point fingers at the matter of teaching his son. You should talk about it after you have a son."

This is simple, exciting and rough enough!

Zhang Qian seemed to have suffered countless critical strikes all at once, and he was about to jump up!

This has involved personality insults!

But... he was deflated the next moment because... he had no temper at all at this moment.

Li Shimin pondered, "After that being said,... the prince is the crown prince after all, can he really do this? If he is sent outside the pass, how can I explain to all officials? If there is any accident outside the pass, what should I do?"

This is also what Li Shimin is most concerned about.

In fact, the emperor has always taught his sons, but it is not unaware that it might be better to let them suffer a little.

But... the prince is often the crown prince, and this era is different from later generations.

In this era, living conditions are harsh. Once you travel far, it will immediately cause problems such as disagreement in the water and the land. A disease or an inadequate care may lead to the death of life, which is not something that can be ignored.

It is precisely because of this that the prince must be like a treasure and be monitored by a special person. He is simply holding it in his palm and afraid of falling, and holding it in his mouth and afraid of melting it.

Chen Zhengtai smiled embarrassedly, and he seemed to think that this seemed a bit unrealistic.

Yes, no one can bear such an accident, especially in this world, where the chances of accidents are very high.

Not to mention the others, just Li Shimin gave birth to fourteen sons in history, but four sons died before they could even become adults.

This mortality rate is still the royal family with the most favorable conditions. There are countless people around them, and there are countless people who are on standby.

If it were someone else, the mortality rate would be higher.

This is an era when colds and fevers can kill people.

If you go to a more harsh environment, a little carelessness may take your life.

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "But... it's not something that cannot be compromised. I'll think about it again."

Li Shimin immediately said, "I haven't seen Xiurong enter the palace for many days. Recently, Xiurong has been teaching children at home every day?"

Chen Zhengtai nodded and said, "In addition to teaching children, he will occasionally manage some family affairs."

"The affairs of the Chen family are complicated," Li Shimin sighed: "My daughter is relatively gentle. If she is a man, she must be a virtuous person."

Chen Zhengtai smiled awkwardly. If it were a man, I wouldn't be able to get a wife.

Li Shimin suddenly said, "When it comes to the crown prince, I... wonder, what is the crown prince doing in the East Palace at this time?"

He thought about it, then looked at Zhang Qian and said, "When is this time?"

Zhang Qiandao: "Your Majesty, it's almost time."
