Any chance?!
Li Shimin was overjoyed.
"Master Tianshi, what should we do?!"
Su Chen said: "Your Majesty, since you have understood that there are still internal and external troubles in the Tang Dynasty, it will be okay if you suppress them. If you are the leader of the army, they will definitely break out."
"In this case, if you have solved the internal and external troubles, you can conquer Goguryeo without any distractions."
Li Shimin nodded repeatedly and said: "But, I feel that today's Tang Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous, and there are no internal or external troubles. Oh, the only foreign trouble is Goguryeo!"
He gritted his teeth with hatred.
Goguryeo not long ago sent someone to deliver a shroud as a gift to him.
Those are for the dead.
Li Shimin was so angry that he almost killed the messenger, but Wei Zheng and others tried their best to stop him.
at last.
Li Shimin asked the envoy to go back with a broken sword, which meant that it would break Goguryeo like a sword.
Although this move was grand, Li Shimin was still so angry that his old injury relapsed.
There is also this reason for insisting on conquering the army personally.
Su Chen said: "Does Your Majesty really think that there are no internal or external troubles in the world today?"
Then he added: "Don't talk about it from afar, let's just say that there have been some floods in various places in the Tang Dynasty recently, the earth dragon has turned over, farmers have lost their harvests, river embankments have burst, and bandits have invaded. Isn't that considered an internal disaster?"
Li Shimin was speechless.
After a long while, he said: "These things will never be dealt with in a lifetime. I can't always focus on them."
Su Chen smiled and continued: "How long can your Majesty's body and the Queen's body last?!"
Li Shimin was stunned. He said doubtfully: "My health is very good, especially after eating three fairy peaches just now, my body is much lighter. And Guanyin Maid's health, although a little worse, seems to be getting better recently.
.”
Su Chen said: "Your Majesty, eating the fairy peach can extend your life, but it can't help you restore your physical condition. The empress's body is similar. Her life-extending elixir can live for a few years. The elixir Pindao gave her can only make her live longer."
Your body will only feel better temporarily, it won’t last long!”
No need for too much explanation.
Li Shimin understood immediately and his eyes widened.
He was stunned and couldn't believe that even though he lived a long life, his body was still tortured by illness.
It turned out that Guanyin was still suffering a lot.
And he himself was old due to internal injuries and his body was sick from overwork. Even if he could live longer for more than ten or twenty years, his physical condition would deteriorate day by day.
really.
It's a huge question.
Su Chen said: "Your Majesty, if your health is not good, your personal expedition will be a drag. If the Queen's health is not good, if something happens to the army, it will also affect your mood and military morale."
Li Shimin felt depressed for a while, and he also understood the consequences and seriousness of these two incidents.
For a moment, I was in a daze and didn't know what to do.
Su Chen added: "One more thing, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is plotting to rebel. How should you deal with it?!"
When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes widened and he was extremely shocked.
Although they were not close, Su Chen felt it was necessary to tell Li Shimin about this matter, because if this matter was not handled well, there would be endless troubles.
And he didn't care whether they were close or not, because he was not familiar with Li Chengqian, so he would not have any influence on who would be the emperor.
Therefore, he didn't care to say it.
Li Shimin would not blame him for this, and even said that he did not dare to offend him.
Li Shimin was suddenly startled, "Is this what the Heavenly Master said is true? Why did Cheng Qian rebel? This Tang Dynasty will belong to him in the future. He, why is he doing this?!"
Su Chen remained silent, but that was the best acquiescence.
Li Shimin suddenly despaired.
There was originally some hope, but now there is no hope at all. His son Li Chengqian is really going to rebel.
only.
He couldn't figure out why Li Chengqian wanted to rebel.
He is the prince and the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Anyone can rebel, but he should not and cannot rebel!
Although he believed what Su Chen said, Li Shimin still couldn't accept this fact.
Su Chen said: "Your Majesty, the human heart is the hardest to guess. If you want to know why he wants to rebel, you can ask him in person."
In fact, he vaguely guessed a thing or two.
But there were some things that were useless if he said them too much, so he had to let Li Shimin face them on his own before he could accept them.
Li Shimin pursed his lips and couldn't help but shed tears.
He hasn't cried for a long time. In fact, there is nothing in this world worth crying for.
At most, when Li Yuan died two years ago, he pretended to cry.
but.
He did so much just to pass it on to future generations, but now his son actually wants to commit rebellion.
After all, she had followed in his footsteps, and that was the most unacceptable thing for him.
A feeling of tiredness and sadness made him burst into tears.
Su Chen didn't comfort him and just let Li Shimin cry until he felt it was okay and it didn't matter.
Li Shimin cried silently like this for half an hour, until Su Ao came to change Su Chen's water. Seeing that Su Ao was so young but so sensible, he was very envious.
It would be great if this child was his son.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and gradually accepted the fact that Li Chengqian might rebel, but he still needed to go back and deal with the specific situation.
It was enough for Su Chen to tell him the situation. As for how to deal with it, Li Shimin, as a veteran, must have his own methods and methods.
Su Chen originally wanted to tell Wu Zhao's situation, which was also an unstable factor in the Tang Dynasty.
but.
Although Wu Zhao was extremely bold, she would not dare to act recklessly as long as Li Shimin was in power.
At most, they just want to cause trouble. They will never want to get a big position. They just want some power and a high position.
However, if Wu Zhao makes trouble, it will still bring some problems to Datang, which must also be solved.
Su Chen then said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Royal Taoist Temple has been completed. Your Majesty said that it was for the poor Taoist, do you still count it?!"
Li Shimin was overjoyed and said: "Of course it's a matter of course. As long as the Heavenly Master is willing to move in, I will be happy."
Su Chen said: "No, Pindao won't go, but Pindao plans to arrange for someone to go there."
Li Shimin was slightly disappointed and said again: "Who is it?"
Su Chen said: "My disciple Yuan Tiangang."
Li Shimin was stunned and said: "Master Yuan Tianshi is indeed okay, but isn't he on duty at the Jingwei City God's Temple?"
Su Chen said: "He is more suitable to be in the Royal Taoist Temple, and I hope that your Majesty can give him all the powers that a temple owner should have. Everyone inside, no matter who they are, must obey his orders."
Li Shimin was naturally speechless.
Although the Taoist temple was not given directly to Su Chen, it was okay to give it to his disciple Yuan Tiangang, and it was regarded as binding Su Chen.
He was really afraid that when Su Chen's filial piety period expired, he would travel around the world or ascend to heaven.
Now that Su Chen is still here and planning to arrange for people to enter the Taoist temple, this can be said to be a booster for Li Shimin.
He couldn't ask for it.
Su Chen thought that by arranging for Yuan Tiangang to enter the Taoist temple, he could look at Wu Zhao and at least be intimidated.
Secondly, Yuan Tiangang also interpreted people's fortunes at the Jingwei City God's Temple. As a master, he couldn't say anything, but his disciples robbed him of his business, which still made him unhappy.
Such an arrangement kills two birds with one stone.
Su Chen continued: "Your Majesty, if you and the queen are in good health, the imperial conquest will be more than half successful. But how can it be done? I heard that there are some relics in Buddhism that can be worn regularly to strengthen the body.
The effect of keeping fit."
Li Shimin was stunned, "You can actually say that?"
Su Chen said: "I just heard about it."
Actually, what he said is right.
Relics can only appear after eminent Buddhist monks with meritorious deeds pass away and sit down.
It can be said that in Buddhism they are very precious and have symbolic meaning.
but.
However, Su Chen explained its efficacy and even magnified it. It is not difficult to imagine that Li Shimin will go on a large-scale search for relics.
This will bring disaster to Buddhism.
However, just think of it as a meeting gift from Su Chen to Buddhism.
He and Buddhism had always been at peace with each other before, but now Buddhism took advantage of his retreat and actually tried to make the Tang Dynasty treat it as a state religion.
As the leader of the Taoist sect, Su Chen had to do something.
To attack Buddhism, start by searching for relics.
Su Chen added: "Your Majesty, attacking Goguryeo will definitely cost a huge amount of money and food, but ordinary people can no longer afford it. It will be stretched out of the Tang Dynasty's annual revenue. This is also an internal trouble!"
Li Shimin was convinced and nodded repeatedly.
"What does the Heavenly Master think?"
"You can borrow food from aristocratic families."
Li Shimin thought deeply for a moment and said: "I have killed many aristocratic families in the past few years. If I ask them to borrow food, I will definitely blame many of them."
Su Chen said: "It doesn't matter to shirk the blame. It's okay to let them shed some blood. However, if Your Majesty wants to completely resolve this matter, there is actually a very direct way, which is to donate money to the religious requirements of the Tang Dynasty!"
The religion of the Tang Dynasty requires donations?!
Li Shimin was stunned.
He looked strange, because Su Chen was the Taoist leader of the Tang Dynasty. If he wanted to donate money, wouldn't he be the first to bear the brunt?!
As expected.
Su Chen said: "Your Majesty, Pindao, as the leader of the Taoist sect, is willing to take the lead in donating 100,000 dans of grain, and at the same time help all Taoist sects in the Tang Dynasty donate another 200,000 dans of grain."
Li Shimin's eyes widened!
Is Su Chen so dedicated to the country and the people?!
Immediately afterwards, Su Chen stated his purpose and said: "Your Majesty, with so many Taoists, it is indispensable for Buddhism to be respected in the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Shimin immediately understood that Su Chen was heading towards Buddhism!
