Li Yuan said: "Prince, the master of the East Palace has always been a hot potato, roasted on the fire. Everyone is staring at the East Palace. Everyone is expecting you to make a mistake. Because when you make a mistake, others will
There will be an opportunity. And the emperor will have stricter requirements for the East Palace. Therefore, due to many reasons, the East Palace is in a dilemma."
After a pause, Li Yuan continued: "Especially if the East Palace is too outstanding, it will also overwhelm the master with its achievements. In short, the position in the East Palace is not easy to sit in. It is your luck that Wang Can will protect you.
It is also the blessing of my country, the Tang Dynasty."
Li Chengqian grinned.
It was indeed his luck.
Li Yuan and Li Chengqian were talking, and the grandfather and grandson had a good conversation. After all, Li Yuan was getting older and talked more, and Li Chengqian was kind-hearted and willing to listen to what Li Yuan had to say, so time passed by unconsciously, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
past.
Li Yuan stood up at this time and said: "Okay, it's time for me to do something. At about this time, Wang Can also woke up. You should go find him, it's time to thank him."
"yes!"
Li Chengqian stood up and left.
He went straight to the outside of Wang Can's study. By this time, Wang Can had woken up. Li Chengqian knocked on the door and asked to see him. After getting Wang Can's permission, Li Chengqian opened the door and entered, saluting: "Sir!"
Wang Can waved his hand and said: "Sit!"
After Li Chengqian thanked him, he sat down and said, "Sir, this contest with the countries in the Western Regions is all thanks to you. If it weren't for your intervention, this matter would not have been resolved."
Wang Can smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal."
For Wang Can, it was just a matter of effort. He just couldn't stand the people from various countries in the Western Regions being so cruel.
After a pause, Wang Can said: "Is there anything else?"
Li Chengqian said: "Disciple does have some things to do."
Wang Can said: "But it doesn't matter!"
Li Chengqian said: "Mr. once mentioned the layout of the entire world. Nowadays, the countries in the Western Regions, as well as Silla, Goguryeo, and even many ethnic groups in the north all respect the Tang Dynasty as their common master, and all respect their father as the emperor."
Khan. In this situation, what should the Tang Dynasty do if it wants to expand? Although the countries in the Western Regions say they surrender, in fact such a surrender is equivalent to putting a headband on our heads.
This prevents us from sending troops at will."
When Wang Can heard this, he suddenly laughed.
Li Chengqian said: "Why are you laughing, sir?"
Wang Can said: "Are you worried about this matter?"
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Yes!"
After a pause, Li Chengqian continued: "The countries in the Western Regions have already respected my father as the Khan of Heaven and have surrendered. If the Tang Dynasty sends troops, wouldn't it mean that the Tang Dynasty is going back on its word?"
Wang Can said: "Prince, if the Tang Dynasty wants to send troops to conquer other countries, it must be justified and the troops must be famous. On this point, your concerns are right. If the Tang Dynasty sends troops wantonly, it will definitely be criticized. For
Your Majesty, he definitely doesn’t want his reputation to be affected. But the reason for sending troops is actually very simple."
Li Chengqian said: "Sir, please give me some advice!"
Wang Can smiled slightly and said: "The simplest example, are there no disputes among the countries in the Western Region? There must be disputes between them. In this case, the Tang Dynasty intervened in the name of disputes, so
Come on, it’s all right. Prince, you are familiar with the classics, so you should have an understanding of the situation in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."
"learn!"
Li Chengqian answered immediately.
He knew the history of this period very well.
Wang Can said: "Since you understand the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, you should know that there were unjust wars in the Spring and Autumn Period. The conquests between countries also emphasized the importance of a division's reputation and etiquette and morality. But these divisions' reputation, these
Etiquette and morality are all random reasons. The simplest reason is, for example, the people of the Tang Dynasty were treated unfairly in Goguryeo and were beaten half to death or killed. This
As the co-owner of the Tang Dynasty, the people of the Tang Dynasty were actually being killed. Naturally, they were furious and wanted to seek justice for the people, so it was only natural for them to send troops."
After listening to this, Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, and his face was full of admiration. He said: "Listening to the teacher's words is better than ten years of reading. With the teacher's teachings, I completely understand. If it weren't for the teacher's guidance, I still don't know.
So, because of my husband’s advice, I was able to understand the truth.”
Wang Can smiled and said: "You are already smart, but you are subject to certain constraints. Now that you have figured it out, it will naturally become clear."
Li Chengqian said: "Sir, I will leave now."
Wang Can said: "Go!"
Li Chengqian stood up and left.
Wang Can looked at Li Chengqian's leaving figure with a faint smile on his lips. He actually admired Li Chengqian quite a lot. This boy had a relatively honest temperament, but nowadays, he is also smart and intelligent.
Just like when various countries came together to send envoys, they all respected the Tang Dynasty as their common master. Li Chengqian immediately thought of sending troops, but there were constraints on sending troops. After Wang Can's words, Li Chengqian jumped out of his rut.
After Li Chengqian turned around and left, he went straight into the palace and came to the palace to have an audience.
He entered the main hall and saw Li Shimin.
Li Shimin waved his hand for Li Chengqian to sit down and asked with a smile: "Prince, if you should bring him, you have already brought him."
Li Chengqian said: "Reporting to my father, everything has been brought. Father, as a man, everything he is willing to do is easy to say. No one can force you to do anything that your husband is not willing to do."
Li Shimin also nodded.
At this time, Changsun Wuji was also in the main hall.
I'm discussing things with Li Shimin.
Li Shimin stroked the beard under his chin and said: "Prince, I am currently discussing with your uncle about the countries in the Western Regions and respecting the Tang Dynasty as the co-lord. Under this premise, if the Tang Dynasty wants to follow the map of the world,
To expand the territory. So now, how to operate this thing?"
Li Chengqian said: "Father, this matter is actually very simple. The countries in the Western Region respect the Tang Dynasty as their common master. Apart from their conflicts, although they have never actively requested us, the Tang Dynasty can also directly mediate and send troops. Or it can be
, we can do something about it. Our people of the Tang Dynasty have gone wrong in various countries and have been treated unfairly. In this way, we can naturally send troops. This matter is just a matter of name.
.After a little layout and arrangement, the troops will be sent out when they need to be sent out. What's more, respecting me, the Tang Dynasty, as the co-lord, and respecting my father as the Khan of Heaven, in fact, these people are just talking about it." (To be completed.)
