"Selling cloth! Good cloth!"
"Hot flatbread!"
"Gentlemen, please do me a favor and give Old Qi some food…Thank you, thank you, Young Master."
"Old Li! When are you going to exchange the ten coins you owe me?”
Even though it was still early in the morning.
However, Chang 'an was already very noisy and lively.
It was a painting that looked like a bustling city in the morning.
On the streets-
A group of people dressed in luxurious plain clothes looked like the elegant sons of wealthy families.
He was riding on a tall horse, slowly moving forward.
One of them was wearing a blue and white moon robe with an emerald green jade on his waist. The dignified young man said with a smile,""Second Young Master, do you know why?”
"I don't know."
He was addressed as Second Young Master.
He was wearing a black robe, and his slightly tanned skin was a wheat color.
It emitted a faint aura of a superior.
They were Lin Zhexian and Li Shiming!
The one in the blue and white moon robe was Lin Zhexian, and the one in the black robe was the current Crown Prince of the Great Tang, the King of Qin, Li Shimin!
Emperor Taizong, who would create the prosperous Zhenguan period in the future!
Lin Zhexian saw Li Shiming's confusion and couldn't help but smile.
He pointed at the peddlers, passers-by, beggars…
He said,"The emperor can control the life and death of the people, but the world is ultimately the world of the people."”
At this point.
Li Shi Min couldn't help but interrupt,"Why does the world belong to the common people? The emperor was the ruler of the world. The world was won by the emperor. Shouldn't it belong to the emperor?”
Hearing this.
Lin Zhexian shook his head.
"The people support the Great Tang, a Great Tang that can feed them, not the Li Family!" he continued. To them, it didn't matter who the emperor was.”
"Don't you see that after such a major event like the Black Tortoise Sect happened, whether it was His Majesty or the Crown Prince, both of them were haggard. However, to the commoners, it was just a topic of conversation in the afternoon.”
“.........”
Li Shi Min was speechless.
He began to ponder.
That's right!
The Black Tortoise Sect was such a big event that many people had died. Even the former Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince had lost their lives.
But...
What did this have to do with the commoners? They didn't care who was the emperor.
They only knew one thing.
Those who could feed them were good emperors, and those who could not feed them were fatuous emperors who would go down in history!
"Does it really matter who ascends the throne?”
Li Shi Min asked with a bitter expression.
"It's alright."
Lin Zhexian shook his head and said," They don't care who becomes the emperor. They only care about which emperor. They can have something to teach them, something to gain from their hard work, something to treat their illnesses, something to support their old age, and a place to live.”
At this moment.
Li Shi Min didn't know what to say.
He had worked hard.
He was already prepared to endure thousands of insults just to become the emperor.
In the end, he did not expect it.
The commoners only treated him and his actions as dispensable afternoon gossip.
"Why?"
Li Shi Min was still confused.
Even the Embroidered Uniform Guards and Li Shiming's personal army.
All of them perked up their ears.
In their general understanding, the emperor was the supreme existence in the world.
As for Lin Zhexian.
He actually said that it didn't matter to the commoners who became the emperor? This was what they could not understand.
"The country is like a boat, the subjects are like oars, the monarch is like a person, and the people are like water.”
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."
Lin Zhexian's calm eyes revealed a strange look at this moment.
Did he count?
Plundering the famous sentences of the ancestors?
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it…BenGong, cough cough! I might understand now."
Li Shi Min had a complicated expression.
These words were very straightforward and not difficult to understand. Furthermore, Lin Zhexian had already explained it before.
The country was the boat.
The subject is the oar.
The king was the person who rowed the boat.
The people of the world were the water that carried the boat.
"Phew-"
Letting out a breath of turbid air, Li Shiming bowed to Lin Zhexian and said,"Zhongqing is a great talent, I am ashamed of my inferiority!”
He was convinced!
He was completely convinced!
He did not expect Lin Zhexian to be able to create the famous Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Even such a great principle.
He was actually able to clearly tell them one by one.
