Section 7 Throwing bricks to attract jade (2)
In the past, emperors had a fatal problem, that is, many things. If they make a decision, a problem would arise, that is, if the country is handled well, the country is stable and not handled well, it would be a huge disaster.
It is said that the word authority has very practical significance, but in fact it is the word killing or trapping. If you can't do it well, you will die directly, and you will die very miserably. This is true for both the small officials below and the emperor above. Therefore, when making a righteous decision, what you consider here is not a person's learning ability, but also the person's own ability is the first release.
If it is not done well, it will be a big trouble.
This is what Li Shimin is now. He wanted to call his confidant to come and discuss it, but gave up.
Whether it is Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Xiao Yu or others, they are all loyalists. This is fine. However, because of this, Li Shimin is also clear about their habits and thoughts in their hearts. Although these people are pillars of the court and elites of society, they are also powerful figures in their family. Can you not know how such a person does things?
Many people in the border army have something to do with the big men in the court, because if they don’t have anything to do, they are trying to die.
Why do people in the court have easy access to officials? Because the emperor is also a human being, he is not a god, and many emperors are ordinary people. Ordinary people have a fatal phenomenon, that is, three people become tigers, they have their own judgments, and some are rumors from others. Therefore, if there is no one in the court, if someone slanders, even if you have a hundred mouths, you can't explain it clearly. This is a relationship of interests.
Because of this, Li Shimin could not ask someone to discuss it, but he could not make a decision on this matter directly. Thinking of this, he looked up at the pavilion on his head, and couldn't help but feel moved, "Come on, let's set up the imperial study."
Then there was a string of sounds behind it, as if I wanted others to know that he was here, but unfortunately, there were very few people.
Li Chengqian rushed to the imperial study room with a tired look on his face. He has read a lot and done a lot recently. Although he is young, he has become a little mature. This is earlier than Li Shimin. Because when Li Shimin was at this age, Li Jiancheng helped him in front of him. He could handle his favorite things freely. Li Chengqian did not have such a person. Since the moment he became the prince, all this was destined. This is why, why Li Chengqian rebelled later. I worked hard to pretend to be a grandson, do things, be scolded, and attacked by many people like a target. For why, is it just to let Li Tai steal the throne from me? I have no other way out except rebellion.
But now he doesn't have the intention because Li Tai has already run away.
Seeing his appearance, Li Shimin said to the people around him, "Give the prince a bowl of tremella soup."
"Thank you, Father." Li Chengqian took the bowl of trench fungus soup handed over by the eunuch, and ate it in big mouthfuls as if he hadn't eaten for a long time. But he, who hadn't had a good appetite, seemed to have a little bit of appetite at this time and ate it hard, as if he was snatching something from someone.
"Slow down, slow down, I'll finish it." Li Shimin was drinking this thing himself, but he ate a lot of other snacks today, etc., and the rest, he was not hungry, but he developed a habit in daily life and couldn't change it for the time being.
"No need, this bowl is enough for me." Li Chengqian quickly finished drinking this bowl of tremella soup, ate it clean, and then placed the bowl and spoon on the table with both hands, which was arranged very neatly, while Li Shimin was in a mess. From the perspective of the aristocrat, Li Shimin's demeanor was not a little worse than Li Chengqian.
"How could he be so hungry?" Li Shimin asked curiously, as if he had forgotten what he had come to Li Chengqian.
"My son was too busy in the morning and forgot to eat." Li Chengqian said embarrassedly.
"Why don't you eat after you finish your work?" Li Shimin asked in confusion, then seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Is it because they don't give you food? They are too brave."
"This is not. I just don't eat after noon, so I just..." Li Chengqian didn't say it directly, but it made Li Shimin feel that the other party was a bit pedantic and blushed a little. Not eating after noon is a way of life in the past, and eating at the prescribed time is a good way of health preservation. When the time passes, it is best not to eat because the stomach and intestines have stopped calling for the signal that they need to eat. However, Li Chengqian did it, Li Shimin, haha, there is no chance at all.
"Cough cough cough..." Li Shimin coughed a few times, covering up the matter, then pointed to the memorial on the table and said, "Pick it up and take a look."
"The son is rude."
After Li Chengqian gave Li Shimin's salute, he went over and picked up the memorial and slowly opened it and read it. His movements were elegant but not very damn. He learned very well in this area.
Gradually, Li Chengqian was attracted by this memorial because what was said above at the beginning was good things, which was also a pattern of memorials in the past. You cannot say bad things as soon as you open your mouth. In this way, something will happen.
Looking at the smile on his face, Li Shimin was also quite moved. At the beginning, it was just an idea, but he didn't expect it to become a reality so soon, and the effect seemed to be good. The leader of all this was not any senior talent in the Tang court, but his own son, this twelve-year-old prince. Once such a prince came to his hundred years, the country of the Tang Dynasty would not have problems, because with a good heir, it would be a big deal and a good thing for any wise emperor. After his death, the country of many wise and powerful emperors disappeared quickly, not because the prosperity he built was not big enough, nor because the military was not strong enough, but because there was no good heir.
But Li Chengqian's face slowly turned from excitement to ashes. Finally, his hands seemed to tear the memorial to pieces. His fingers left a very clear fingerprint on the memorial, and he said angrily, "Shameless."
The sound was very loud. Although the imperial study room was very big, the sound was still transmitted far, which scared Li Shimin. The boy was so angry, but he asked slowly, "Cheng Qian, what are you confused?"
But as soon as his voice came out, a man who had been hiding behind the dark curtain walked out and stood beside Li Shimin, like an air, without saying anything, without any other moves, just standing there, like a pillar. But if someone really makes a big move towards Li Shimin, the two dry hands that the man kept in his sleeve would grab the other person's neck as soon as possible and then break him. No matter who he is, even Li Chengqian is like this.
"Father, these people are too brave." Although they went out to fight with Ye Tan, to be honest, Li Chengqian was not very suitable for the military. First of all, his status was too high and it was difficult for ordinary people to command him. The other was that his status was too expensive. If something happened, the entire army would have to be unlucky. Moreover, it was commanded by Ye Tan at that time, so he was just a loser at most, so he didn't know the twists and turns here.
"Chenggan, I need Mount Tai to collapse before you and your face will not change, and you will lose your composure."
Li Shimin is a powerful character in this regard. Although he might be anxious after Mount Tai really collapsed in front of him, he still did a good job in many cases.
"Father, son minister has lost his composure."
Li Chengqian placed the memorial on the case with both hands and then pleaded with Li Shimin.
"Okay, you can sit down."
Li Shimin didn't care about this, but stood up and took the memorial directly. Naturally, he saw the fingerprint on it. He couldn't help but feel moved, but he still asked, "What do you think?"
"Your father and son minister think that Lord Xu and his friends are calm, which is a good idea for dealing with such a thing. It is still beneficial to maintaining the stability of the Tang Dynasty's frontier in a short period of time." Li Chengqian said slowly, which made Li Shimin comfort first, and then frowned a little. You should say this, anyone with a little brain can see it.
Without waiting for Li Shimin to speak, Li Chengqian continued, "However, this memorial only considers the affairs of a state and the affairs of the world, which is a big failure."
"Oh? What a failure?" Li Shimin continued to ask, his lips slightly raised, and it seemed that he was in a good mood.
"Although Lord Xu is good at Liangzhou, he seems to have forgotten his identity." Li Chengqian didn't seem to want to say Taibai, but Li Shimin is not the kind of person who makes you say halfway, so he continued to ask, "Tell me more specifically."
"The father and the emperor are very talented. Although Ye Hou needed a lot of bargaining chips to marry his sister, although the Tang Dynasty was large, there was no place to make a fuss. The Taohai Town to the north of Fengzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, Liangzhou and other places to the west seemed to be just a simple border town of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact it was the strength and grain transfer station for the future Northern Expedition of the Turkic Royal Court. If he didn't even know this, then he would naturally be able to say such words."
Li Shimin secretly warned in his heart, how did this kid know, but he didn't say anything.
However, anyone who has worked with Li Shimin knows that Li Shimin is a very strange person. He is very generous to his own people. However, he is very stingy towards those so-called enemies. He is a typical master who robs the other party and burns his family. There are countless things to do in the Tang Dynasty. However, although Li Shimin brought Jie Li Khan, after watching this buddy's dance many times, he found that it was really boring. So he remembered other ideas. Can he not be interested in the Turks for a person who is determined to surpass the past in Emperor Wu of Han?
Even so, I can't do anything wrong. Now there are not many people who really want to fight in the Tang Dynasty except those who are in the army. The people have experienced more than ten years of war and no one likes to fight. However, deep down he will not let this thing go.
Wars require not only food, but also connections. What is needed even more is the place. The land of the Tang Dynasty is quite large, but the south is relatively stable. If you hibernate, it is nothing to do. However, the north is very deadly. The Turks are on the north. Since the Sui Dynasty, this country has brought great burdens to the Central Plains. Such a burden is fatal. Although Changsun Wuji's father used the method of uniting and cross-border to break down the Turks into two east and west, it is still very powerful.
It is to say a word or two to kill the other party. At the same time, there is another one that is Gogurye in the Northeast. They are also the object of hatred in Li Shimin, because the Tang Dynasty came from what is the Sui Dynasty, and the fuse of the demise of the Sui Dynasty was the three storms of Goryeo, which ended up failing. If Li Shimin did not do this, wouldn’t he say that he was similar to the previous emperor? As a person who wanted to become the emperor of the ages, such a thing was very terrible, so he had many ideas.
In the palace, Li Shimin asked Ye Tan, you would have no problem marrying my daughter, but if you think you just make Songzhou rich, this would not be enough. Your military achievements were obtained when you fought against Tubo, which is good, but I have already given you a title, so I will not owe you anything. Do you understand what I mean?
Ye Tan said Li Chengqian just now, and finally added a sentence, I am willing to help Your Majesty prepare for the transit station to conquer the Turks. If it doesn't work, I will never talk much.
Li Shimin was also shocked at the time and thought that this kid had a good idea, but it was too naive. However, when the matter of Taohai Town came out, he found that he would have many chances of success when he went to conquer these tribes in the future, so naturally he hoped.
However, in the past two years, the actual situation in China has not been very good. Droughts, floods, and snow disasters have also emerged one after another, especially the droughts in the past few years that almost caused the Tang Dynasty to destroy the country. Therefore, he was anxious and had no choice but to do it. However, this thing was like a poison, which made Li Shimin unwilling to give up at all. There are countless things in this world waiting for him to do. So, this kind of thing takes a period of time. He knew that people usually shouted long live, but in fact, there was no emperor who lived over a hundred years old. He didn't know when he could live, but if he didn't manage the world well, then what if he said when he went down to see his elder brother in the future?
Human nature is a terrible temptation and an unsatisfied desire.
Li Shimin's idea is so simple and complex, and it is unpredictable.
"What do you think about this now?" Li Shimin felt a little anxious about this matter, but he asked without thinking about how to do it.
