Chapter five hundred and eighty: Emperor Taizong
Zhao Hongji left the emperor's palace.
On the way out of the palace, I kept thinking about the emperor's intentions.
It seems that as his brother became seriously ill, he became more and more suspicious.
Everyone has a look that might endanger the Zhao family.
Including himself, everyone is probably on his suspicion list.
"It seems that the supreme power can indeed change some people."
Zhao Hongji shook his head and sighed, and left the palace.
After he left, the current prince Zhao Yuan entered the palace to take care of his father.
"My son, my father is afraid that he will really die this time. He has already felt that his longevity has dried up. I am afraid that it will be difficult to wait until the day when you advance to the realm of gods and humans and grow up.
I hand over the tiger talisman of the 'Heavy Armored Cavalry' to you. This is the army led by your imperial grandfather. It is known as the first iron army in the Wei Dynasty. It has 300,000 horses and horses, all of which are monks.
From now on, they will obey your orders, but from now on, you can no longer stay in Luoyang. After your father dies, you will come back and lead the 300,000 heavy armored cavalry stationed by the Weishui River.
ascend the throne."
Zhao Hongqing held his hand and spoke earnestly.
"Father..." Tears gradually appeared in Zhao Yuan's eyes.
If he hadn't been holding back, he would have burst into tears by now.
My father is seriously ill, but I can't do anything about it. This feeling is really heartbreaking.
"Don't be a child. Born in the royal family, you have to value your rights and the people more than anyone else! As for family ties, they have always been insignificant in the royal family. Back then, in order to consolidate the throne, your grandpa launched a campaign that is now known throughout the world.
The change of Xuanwu Gate.
You have to learn from your grandpa, learn to stay dormant, learn to make a splash, and learn to be a good emperor, do you understand?"
Zhao Hongqing said sincerely.
He told his children all about his unfinished grand plan.
I hope that this great grandson, who is valued by the Supreme Emperor, can inherit his legacy and make this world a better place.
At this moment, Zhao Yuan really couldn't bear the upcoming separation of life and death, and finally burst into tears.
Zhao Hongqing stroked his head with a sad look on his face. He thought about his life and looked back and found that there were many things that he had not had time to do yet.
For example, watching your children get married and start a business, have wives and concubines, and descendants.
For example, ordinary people all over the world will say that they are not inferior to the Supreme Emperor.
Another example is a tour of Kyushu as an emperor.
However, none of these things can wait.
"My child, don't cry. Father has already made a plan for you. Next, it depends on how you go. You must remember that as a ruler, you must have great perseverance, great determination, and great decisiveness.
In the future, remember not to act emotionally. After you ascend the throne, you must abolish the demon-killing order issued by me and take the initiative to reconcile with the demon clan.
If the Monster Clan is unwilling to make peace with the Human Race, you can re-select generals after the world is stabilized, go out to conquer the Monster Clan, win a few battles, and at the same time stabilize your position..."
Zhao Hongqing still had many, many things he wanted to say to him, but his physical condition really did not allow him to do so.
"Let's go, take the tiger talisman and leave the palace. If you can find your Aunt Changge, practice hard next to her. Go." Zhao Hongqing felt tired and wanted to close his eyes and rest for a while.
However, before that, he must watch his child walk out of this hall with his own eyes.
Zhao Yuan stood up, wiped two lines of tears from his face, turned around, and left the hall with heavy steps.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongqing smiled slightly and used all his strength to shout loudly: "Don't cry! My child! I will try my best to delay it for two more years. I don't have much time left for you!"
But he never expected that his body had deteriorated far beyond his imagination.
It's only three days.
He could no longer speak clearly.
Just when everyone thought that the emperor was about to die, the Supreme Emperor came back.
A precious medicine was brought to help Zhao Hongqing extend his life.
"My child, my father is incompetent and can only extend your life for ten years. My father wants to free your mother and queen from the ice. Let's reunite as a family. What do you think?" Although Zhao Changqing looks calm on the surface, but
I feel so sad in my heart.
It’s really heartbreaking to see someone with white hair give away someone with black hair.
"Father, no. The changes in the world are not over yet. The Queen Mother is the one who can help you. She shouldn't show up so early. You should wait. The child has already seen the Queen Mother in his heart. Even if the Queen Mother appears in the future,
You should be able to understand what your child is doing." Zhao Hongqing felt much better after taking the medicine.
It's a pity that this great medicine, the only one left in the world, can only last ten years.
Zhao Hongqing was too seriously injured.
"Well, when you leave, my father will come to see you off in person."
Zhao Changqing left.
After returning to the imperial mausoleum, I shed two lines of tears.
The hero of the Wei Dynasty who unified the world would also shed tears.
If outsiders knew about it, I'm afraid they would be very sad.
That night.
Zhao Hongqing felt that the pain on his body was much lighter, so he had a good sleep.
In the dream, there were his children, father, and mother, except his wife who lived with him day and night and the regent Zhao Hongji who had made great contributions to this world.
Morning the next day.
Zhao Hongqing returned to power.
He began to vigorously implement the policy of reforming the court, and made new innovations based on the national policies set by successive prime ministers.
For example, the imperial examinations were more lenient for children from poor families, the One Whip Law, the Qingtian Order and other preferential policies for the common people were implemented, and efforts were made to crack down on wealthy families.
July 6th, 12th year.
Zhao Hongqing promulgated a policy to reform the official system.
Establish left and right prime ministers, and abolish the system in which bachelors concurrently serve as prime ministers.
The prime minister on the left is Zhao Changlin, and the prime minister on the right is Xiao Xuanwu.
In addition, the Zhongshu Province was established to minimize the rights of each bachelor, but at the same time, the cabinet was also composed of bachelors.
Zhongshu Sheng and the cabinet work together to govern the world.
Invisibly, the rights of the six ministries were weakened. This move made outstanding contributions to the consolidation of imperial power for later generations.
The ninth day of September in the fourteenth year.
Zhao Hongqing overcame all difficulties and determined to involve senior military generals in politics and fight against corruption.
This marked the beginning of the joint efforts of warriors and literati to rule the world.
In the temples, instead of forming cliques for personal gain, there was a situation of civil and military opposition.
This result was within Zhao Hongqing's expectation.
On the surface, there are two major factions formed by civilian officials and military attachés.
However, after careful analysis, it is not difficult to see that the entire court is filled with people's hearts and minds.
It is far from reaching the point where the literary or military parties are united as one.
By doing this, Zhao Hongqing could actually better balance the officials in the court.
It has been six years since the last time I was seriously ill and took medicine to extend my life.
Over the past six years, he felt that his body was getting worse and worse.
This is all within reason.
After all, if you count the time, ten years is not far away.
