[At that time, there were only [-] to [-] soldiers in Chang'an City, and the surrounding troops had no time to arrive. 】

【Do you stick to Chang'an City, wait for the rescue of the Tang Dynasty army, and then fight the Turks to the death?Or at this time, try to hold the Turks first, and talk about it later? 】

[Li Shimin's confidant ministers all suggested closing the gates of the city, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and then confronting the Turks head-on. 】

[But Li Shimin knew that he had just ascended the throne, his position was unstable, and his people were not attached to him. Once he fought against the Turks, if his father's old relatives and Li Jiancheng's confidantes took the opportunity to rebel, the world would be in chaos. 】

[The Tang Dynasty has just recuperated for a few years, and its strength is not yet strong. This time the main force of the Turks will definitely not be wiped out, and it will attract endless revenge from the Turks. The war lasted for several years, and the chance of the peaceful development of the Tang Dynasty was completely ruined. 】

[For the current plan, we can only find ways to avoid war with the Turks, and the best policy is to completely eliminate him when the national strength is restored in the future. 】

[Li Shimin racked his brains and finally thought of negotiating a peace first, stabilizing the Turks, and waiting for the shame of today to be avenged in the future. 】

[At the same time, he also dispatched the army to prevent accidents. 】

[At this time, the Turkic sent Zhishisili into the city to intimidate Li Shimin. 】

[As soon as he saw the Turkic General coming, he immediately understood the Turkic intentions. Obviously, the Turkic didn't know the reality of the Tang Dynasty at all. Now Li Shimin had room to manipulate. 】

【He immediately ordered people to detain Zhishusili and not let him go back. Turkic naturally did not know the strength of Datang. 】

[However, some ministers were taken aback, and immediately advised Li Shimin to release the Turkic envoys. Wouldn't this provoke them to attack Chang'an City immediately? 】

[The height of Li Shimin's station is completely beyond the reach of those courtiers. 】

【The more stubborn he is, the more uncertain Turkic will be. He thinks that Li Shimin is well prepared so that he will not be afraid of Turkic. 】

[On August 28th, Li Shimin brought only six civil servants, including Gao Shilian and Fang Xuanling, to the edge of the Weishui River. Seeing that he brought only a few civil servants to meet him, Jieli Khan felt a little suspicious. 】

[Li Shimin loudly reprimanded him for breaking his promise and breaking the covenant. 】

[Jieli Khan was terrified when he saw that he was confident and fearless, and that he was caught because of his stubbornness. 】

[At this time, countless Tang troops appeared behind Li Shimin, with great momentum and banners covering the sky, Jieli Khan was terrified, knowing that Datang had already made preparations, and he would definitely not be able to take advantage of it this time. 】

[At this time, the khans and chiefs of the other tribes who followed the Turks, fearing Li Shimin's aura, all came to kowtow to apologize. 】

[Only Jieli Khan was left on the other side of the bridge. 】

[Jieli Khan knew that this action was impossible, so he softened his attitude and apologized. It was wrong for him to break the covenant, so he asked for a settlement. 】

[Finally, a war that might shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, with Li Shimin's bravery and wit, was subtly resolved invisibly. 】

[Li Shimin returned to the palace that day, and on August [-]th, he came to the Weishui Bridge again to form an alliance with Jieli Khan to kill the white horse. 】

[Li Shimin offered to give him some gold and silver silk. 】

[On the first day of the ninth lunar month, Jieli Khan wanted to give [-] horses and [-] sheep in return. 】

[Li Shimin doesn't want it, this requires the Turks to return all the population of the Central Plains that they had taken captive before.I have to admit that Li Shimin is a rare monarch. 】

[The Turks retreated. 】

[Li Shimin used clever tactics to postpone the decisive battle with the Turks until a few years later, which provided a favorable opportunity for the recovery and development of the Tang Dynasty. 】

[Li Shimin made the ferocious Turks retreat without a single soldier, but he regarded this as a great shame in his life. 】

[From September 22nd, Li Shimin led all the cavalry generals of the imperial army to learn archery in the Xiande Palace. He interviewed in person, and those who hit the shots were rewarded with bows, knives, and silk. 】

[There are many courtiers in the court who advised and advised, but Li Shimin did not accept them. 】

[Li Shimin and other monarchs and ministers, in order to avenge this revenge, have made great efforts to govern and mobilized their troops. 】

【Jieli Khan never imagined that this was his only chance to enter the Central Plains, but he was ruined by his hesitation and cowardice, and he will never have another chance. 】

[Three years later, Turkic was destroyed by Tang Dynasty, and he was captured to dance in Tang Dynasty. He never imagined that his identity had undergone earth-shaking changes. 】

[On the first day of the first lunar month of the following year, Yuan Zhenguan was officially changed. The peak of feudal society and the prosperity that countless generations look up to, the rule of Zhenguan, slowly opened the curtain! 】

[Yang Guang in the Sui Dynasty caused serious chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, which led to a sharp drop in population. In the reign of Wude and the beginning of Zhenguan, there were only 200 million households. Li Shimin often used the death of the Sui Dynasty as a warning, and paid attention to self-restraint, favor and frugality, and told his ministers not to be afraid The emperor was displeased and stopped admonishing. 】

[Not long after he came to the throne, according to the model of the Literature Museum of Prince Qin's Mansion, a new Hongwen Museum was established to further reserve the world's literary talents.He knows people well and employs them on their merits, regardless of their background. In the early stage, he recruited Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and in the later period, he appointed Changsun Wuji, Yang Shidao, Chu Suiliang, etc., all of whom were honest and honest people. 】

[Li Shimin is generous, regardless of previous suspicions, Prince Li Jiancheng's important officials Wei Zheng, Wang Yu, confidant General Xue Wanche, etc., are all highly valued. 】

【Especially Wei Zheng, who became his admonisher, and Wei Zheng really lived up to his high expectations. As long as Li Shimin made any mistakes, he would point them out mercilessly. 】

[Except for Wei Zheng, Li Shimin asked everyone to actively speak out. He accepts advice with an open mind. Whether it is a minister or a commoner, as long as what is said is right, he can mostly adopt it. 】

[Even if he made a mistake, he doesn't blame him. 】

[Wei Zheng has advised the court more than 200 times in his life, and he compares him to his own mirror. 】

【With copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; with history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; with people as a mirror, you can understand gains and losses. 】

[This is his exclamation after Wei Zheng's death. 】

"Taking people as mirrors?"

Li Shimin muttered to himself, his eyes lit up.

I didn't expect myself to be able to say such words later, and I was secretly happy in my heart.I'm afraid that because of this sentence, I can be famous in Qing history.

Wei Zheng's eyes widened even more, it was unbelievable, he didn't expect Li Shimin to think so highly of him.

Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu and other emperors also had shining lights in their eyes.

Such a generous mind is beyond the reach of an ordinary emperor!

[Some people say that Li Shimin is too hypocritical, he did it for the world to see. 】

[I don't comment on whether Li Shimin is sincere, but he not only tolerates Wei Zheng, he can tolerate almost any speech officer. 】

[Whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the common people in the world, they have all benefited greatly from the advice of these people. 】

[In fact, Li Shimin did it for the world to see, but he pretended all his life, and all the ministers under him were able to die well, enjoying the glory and wealth in life, and being respected after death. Few people can reach the level of Li Shimin. 】

[Despot emperor, how many people can allow subjects to criticize?Li Shimin did it. 】
