Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 870 Li Shimin, don’t let me down! (end of volume)

A leafy tree.

A man who will always shine with the light of God.

Luo Su's body seemed to be forever shrouded in a layer of azure blue light.

Looking at Li Shimin walking in, Luo Su smiled slightly, with the drooping willow branches resting on his shoulders. He still looked as gentle as Li Shimin remembered, "Prince Qin, long time no see."

In Li Shimin's twenty-three-year-old life, he had met all kinds of people, but in his heart, there was only one person who could be his teacher, and that was Luo Su.

For the first time in his life, he knew that a person could be knowledgeable to that extent.

Even though he had gathered many powerful people under his command over the years, including people like Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, he had seen the highest mountains and the longest rivers, so he felt that everything in the future was not high enough.

"Mr. Wen."

Li Shimin cupped his fists and bowed.

Luo Su twisted the white chess piece in his hand and said with a smile: "Come to congratulate you. The world is about to be unified, the government will return to the Li family and the Tang Dynasty, and the new emperor's crown will rise on the land of Zhuxia."

I may have ten thousand reasons to choose Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan.

Luo Su pressed a chess piece and took away Li Shimin's chess piece. "Don't be impatient. Think slowly and ask what you want to ask."

"sit."

Li Shimin had never been in such a mood as he was now, and he said these words openly.

Luo Su nodded and asked: "What about the eras of Xiaowen and Xiaowu in the Han Dynasty?"

Li Shimin's eyes shrank, and he never looked very excited, "Oh, that's it."

King Su's great-grandson, the saint closest to King Su, perhaps even King Zhao of Zhou who created the world of Kang Zhao, had never received such evaluation from Duke Wen.

But when Wen Gong asked these words, he couldn't say them casually. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "Wen Gong, why are you here?"

After countless near-death encounters and countless glorious victories, he believed that he had received some kind of revelation. He was a favored person, so he could be invincible.

It is difficult for people who have things hidden in their hearts to calm down and play chess.

Li Shimin was stunned by these words. The world is still in a state of exhaustion. Years of war have made people all over the world tired of war. Large areas of land are deserted. In this case, restoring production is the first element.

Li Shimin added: "It is beyond the reach of the past and has no parallel in future generations. I yearn for it."

The current emperor, the legitimate prince, the status of the legitimate eldest son, good abilities, and a relatively gentle personality.

This kind of comment made Li Shimin feel that the blood in his body was boiling. He had believed that he had a kind of power since he was a child, and this power drove him to complete great achievements again and again, until he reached the point where he is now.

Luo Su held a white coin and knocked it on the stone table, and said calmly but gently: "Why not you?

The old rule is that Luo Su lets Li Shimin go first.

There was a chessboard in front of Luo Su, and black and white chess boxes were placed on both sides.

The prosperous age of Xiaowen in the Han Dynasty was based on the foundation laid before. Can he really create a prosperous age in this situation?

Just like countless times between life and death, his hand holding the bow and arrow had blue veins popping out and a sharp cold!

Li Shimin did not refuse. Wen Gong Luo Su was a strong player with no blind spots, and his chess skills were undisputedly the best in the world. Even if he was given the third priority, he had never won.

When Luo Su asked, Li Shimin remembered that Li Yuan often told him, "You have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. I am thinking about whether to make you the prince."

Finally said it!

Luo Su laughed when he heard this, "I can't say these things. I want a world that is more glorious than these, and the founder of this world will be you, King Qin Li Shimin."

Li Shimin shuddered, this was the comment from Duke Wen.

Luo Su tapped the chessboard and smiled: "What were you thinking on the way to see me today? What are you thinking about now? That's why I came. You know, I like you very much."

Seeing that the advantage he had gained by taking three steps first had disappeared, Li Shimin finally couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Wen, when you come here, do you have anything to say to me?"

Li Shimin responded: "Historical records say it is as bright as stars and as brilliant as fire."

"I?"

But although Li Yuan said this, he never officially said these words, just chatting in private.

Li Shimin only felt that his whole body was being strangled by huge hands, and he was suddenly filled with huge surprises. He hesitated to speak, and finally hoarse, "Mr. Wen, I..."

Luo Su seemed to be chatting, "It's your credit for the unification of the Li family. Has your father ever promised you anything?"

As per the old rules, you come first. "

Li Shimin sat properly in front of Luo Su. Luo Su pushed the black chess piece to Li Shimin, making a rustling sound on the chess board, and said with a smile: "I haven't played chess with you for many years. Let's see how your chess skills have improved.

Li Shimin collected his mind, his handsome face slowly returned to calm, and he asked in a deep voice: "Why me?
With your ability, assisting my eldest brother is enough to create a prosperous age comparable to the Han Dynasty. He is the direct eldest son and is in line with the tradition of the Luo family. "

Speak out!

Now that Wen Gong recognized this power, did King Su recognize this power?
Li Shimin came back to his senses. He looked at Luo Su's still calm face, but didn't know what to say. Luo Su turned to ask a question, "King Qin, what do you think of Kang Zhao's prosperous age?"

You will be a holy king, I believe in my vision. "

His heart was trembling, but his hands became more stable.

But I don’t have any reason not to choose you, Li Shimin, King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty. If I want to create a prosperous age, I need an emperor who is beyond the ancient times, and you are that person.

This is the highest praise.

the most important is.

"I am not the future emperor or emperor yet."

Li Shimin stared at Luo Su, "Mr. Wen, do you want to put the crown of the emperor on my head in the name of King Su?"

Luo Su laughed out loud when he heard this, "If it were Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, then I would give them a crown as emperor, but you are different.

Where in this world is the throne of emperor given by others!

The road to the emperor is full of thorns and tribulations. You have to take it yourself. Now you have almost all the qualities of a good king, but you are still a little short of it. "

Still a little worse.

For Li Shimin, this was the most serious problem now. He wanted to know where he was lacking, so he quickly asked: "What's missing?"

With pity in Luo Su's eyes, he gently put down the white chess piece in his hand, with murderous intent, the chessboard was dead!

He said lightly: "I want you to go through some hardships, I want you to feel the greatest loneliness in the world, and feel the pain of losing everything. You are still full of constraints.

You are still expecting to use the divine power from King Su to solve some things. This is not possible. I want you to solve it yourself. Only when you can solve everything by yourself will King Su's light fall on you.

Wash away all fatigue for you. "

Luo Su's voice was very soft, but it sounded like a roar in Li Shimin's ears. He didn't dare to think about the deep meaning behind these words. When he looked down, he saw that he had lost.

He threw the chess pieces he had just picked up back into the box, no longer thinking about those complicated things, with a wry smile on his face, "Mr. Wen, your chess skills are still so superb."

Luo Su Zhuangruo asked casually: "I heard that you promised Dou Jiande to save his life?"

what?
Li Shimin didn't expect that Luo Su would ask this question. Isn't it right to save Dou Jiande's life?
"Mr. Wen, do you have any suggestions?"

Luosu asked: "Save Dou Jiande's life. I want to hear what you think. Every move made by a politician must be supported by an inner core. Why did you make this move?"

Only then did Li Shimin realize that he was being tested in school. He sat upright and said: "Dou Jiande has popular support in Hebei. If he kills Dou Jiande without authorization, it may have counterproductive results, and appeasing Hebei will become empty talk.

Moreover, Dou Jiande and I have a lot of sympathy for each other. He was such a kind and virtuous person, and leaving his life behind just shows the tolerance of all things in the Tang Dynasty. "

Luo Su laughed softly when he heard this: "King Qin, you are really a born emperor and a born king. Your instincts and your character always make you do the right things without knowing it. This is really An extraordinary talent.

It was right not to kill Dou Jiande.

Don't just think that you have captured Dou Jiande now that you have pacified Hebei. There is no such simple thing in this world.

Do you know the current problems and crux of Hebei's problems? "

Li Shimin became serious, clasped his fists and said, "Please give me some advice from Duke Wen!"

Luo Su dipped tea in water and drew two circles on the stone table, "This is Guanzhong and this is Hebei. These two regions have always been hostile to each other.

You are from a noble family in Guanlong. You should know that because of your background, the Sui Dynasty adopted a high-pressure stance in Hebei and Jiangnan. Whether it was taxes or corvee, Hebei and Jiangnan were better than Guanzhong.

I call it the Guanzhong standard.

Therefore, Hebei has always been dissatisfied, and the people have extremely deep resistance. Dou Jiande was able to win the hearts and minds of the people because he implemented benevolent policies in Hebei.

What is called benevolent government? It is better than when it was under the rule of the Sui Dynasty!

Under Dou Jiande's rule, the people of Hebei felt that this was the life that people should live.

Instead of being sucked by Guanzhong and enslaved by Guanzhong, this is why Dou Jiande's people are so satisfied.

Now he was defeated and captured at Hulao Pass, but Hebei itself was not harmed. Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for Datang to capture Hebei.

Because Hebei is still not convinced!

You haven't defeated us Hebei people yet, why should we surrender and be enslaved by you again? This is what the mainstream Hebei people think.

In this case, what do you think should be done to make Hebei surrender? "

Luo Su's words were like clearing the clouds and revealing the current situation in Hebei. Li Shimin was very surprised. This was an angle that no one had ever said before.

It has nothing to do with a benevolent lord like Dou Jiande, or people. It has something to do with something bigger.

But this angle was very consistent with Li Shimin's aesthetics. He forcibly pulled himself out of deeper thinking and mused: "Either completely defeat Hebei, or make promises and appease Hebei. There is no other way."

To conquer Hebei means to fight several more wars against Hebei, making the people of Hebei fail again and again, and finally admit defeat in the war and surrender.

Finally, it was the situation of the Sui Dynasty.

The promise to Hebei is to change the Guanzhong standard, at least not to exploit Hebei so harshly.

"King Qin, if it were you, which path would you choose?"

Li Shimin said without hesitation: "Of course it is to appease the soldiers, the land of life and death, and the major affairs of the country. We must not ignore it. If we can't avoid fighting, we will not fight. Hebei is strong, and there is no need for the Tang Dynasty to provoke this place. And I regard Guanzhong and Hebei the same , not taking sides.”

Thinking of this, Li Shimin reacted suddenly, "Gong Wen, you are saying that Dou Jiande is a flag. If Dou Jiande is killed, in the eyes of Hebei people, it will mean that the Tang Dynasty will continue to implement high-pressure policies against Hebei.

And forgiving Dou Jiande means that Datang will implement benevolent policies towards Hebei!
Yes, that's it, that must be the case. Dou Jiande has a very good reputation. I promised to keep him. He has no hatred against me, the higher-ups of Datang, so it is very simple to keep him alive. "

wrong!

If this is really the case, Wen Gong will not specifically say it. If this is the case, it means that Wen Gong thinks that there may be an accident.

Li Shimin quickly searched and finally chose his father. Would his father want to kill Dou Jiande?

If there is only one fan of Li Yuan in the world, it must be Li Shimin. Li Shimin is a very emotional person, and he is full of affection for his father.

When he thought of this, Li Shimin felt a little restless. If his father really wanted to kill Dou Jiande, what should he do?
He suddenly thought, was this what Gong Wen said to him when he came in?
It turns out that in Duke Wen's opinion, would the conflict between himself and his father be so big?
All Li Shimin's expressions were caught in Luo Su's eyes, and he knew what Li Shimin was thinking, "King Qin, if you want to achieve great things that have never been done in ancient times, you can't cause such a big conflict among the world.

Remember, the strength of Hebei cannot be suppressed by suppression, let alone Guanzhong.

The Tang Dynasty can dominate the world, firstly because you are indeed the most outstanding person in the world and the born emperor, but the other reason is that there are currently less than 6 million households in the world, so the Tang Dynasty has the national power to unify the world.

Once the population expands to nine million households, or even ten million households, the small Guanzhong will lose its power to suppress the world.

The Sui Dynasty's policy of using Guanzhong as a gateway to all directions was looking for death.

As time goes by, with the continuous development of Hebei, Henan, Jiangnan, and Jianghuai, the population increases, and the power of Guanzhong will become smaller and smaller.

If you continue to use the high-pressure policy against Hebei, I can tell you clearly that the power that Hebei finally explodes will destroy the entire Tang Dynasty when its population is at its peak.

You need to remember this! "

hiss!
Li Shimin felt chills all over after hearing Luo Su's words. He believed that Duke Wen would never be alarmist. This was the fact, and it was indeed very reasonable. In this war in the Central Plains, the food and grass supplied by Jiangnan and Jianghuai was crucial. .

In the past years, Jiangnan and Jianghuai have never been so important.

Li Shimin nodded seriously and said solemnly: "Mr. Wen, I understand, I will definitely save Dou Jiande's life. If one day I can really become the emperor of Zhuxia, I will do what you said today.

If the Sui Dynasty is noble in Guanzhong but Hebei is undervalued, I will treat them equally. "

Luo Su pointed at the chessboard, "Let's play another game and let you move forward. With your chess skills, you should be able to compete with me."

Li Shimin was good at playing chess, but he was just good and not yet a chess master. Moreover, Luo Su himself didn't care about winning or losing.

When he came to Luosu today, Li Shimin felt that he had completely lost his previous composure and became a little startled, but he believed that this was just human nature.

After all, the person sitting in front of him was a legendary figure. He even felt that he could see the looming shadow of King Su from behind Wen Gong, which made him sit calmly.

The two chatted casually, and it seemed that the rather sharp questions just now had disappeared, leaving only peace and quiet. However, judging from Li Shimin's hand holding the chess piece tightly, it was not the case.

He hadn't seen Mr. Wen for so long, so how could he be willing to accept it if he didn't ask more questions and chat with him?

After being silent for a long time, Li Shimin finally asked the question, "Mr. Wen, you said you wanted me to experience loneliness and pain. I don't understand. Can you help me understand?"

In Li Shimin's view, if King Su could perform a miracle and confer sanctity on him, many things would be solved. However, it seems that Wen Gong was not willing to do this and instead let himself fight for it.

Luo Su pondered for a while, thinking about what to say. He seemed to be knocking on lanterns, making random moves, and then said: "Because the heart, the power a person can exert is determined by his heart. , which is the foundation for supporting the human body.

Do you remember Yang Guang?
Even at the end of the game, he still has countless chances to make a comeback, and he still has great power and subjects loyal to him.

But in the end he chose to escape, even if he hid himself in the desert like an ostrich, and he was killed in shame.

I want to train your heart.

I want you to have a clear conscience.

I want you to be strong at any time in the future, and you can tell everyone that I, Li Shimin, stand here upright.

I have no regrets about anything I have done today and in the future. I have done nothing wrong. Neither the praise nor the slander of the world can shake the truth in my heart.

The setbacks you have suffered all this time have come from external substances, and you have been born and died again and again. These can all be solved with wisdom and strength.

Now I want you to overcome the deepest cowardice in your heart, and you will become a hero who cannot be beaten or smashed through repeated inner torture. "

Li Shimin was dumbfounded when he heard this. Did he have to go through so much on the road to becoming a Saint King?
Do not!
Li Shimin thought of what Luo Su had said before, a prosperous age far beyond the past. What kind of prosperous age is this? Why do we want to do this?

Li Shimin felt a warm current flowing through his body for a moment. He seemed to see a warm sunshine in the future, but there were countless thorns on the road leading to the warm sunshine. He had nothing to fear.

He was able to conquer half of the world with a three-foot sword. In other words, the south was not an obstacle. Only Xiao Mian was the only one. He, Li Shimin, had conquered the entire world for the Tang Dynasty.

Is there any difficulty more difficult than establishing a country?
Now Li Shimin really didn't have any questions to ask Luo Su. Luo Su's meaning was obvious. He only had the last level left, even if he had completely passed it.

The two of them really started chatting now. Li Shimin, who was quite literate at the time, had learned a lot over the years, and the two of them started chatting about Luo Xuanye and other Luo family members.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "It is really a blessing for the Luo family to return to the Central Plains. I wonder how Wen Gong hopes that the Luo family will get along with me in the Tang Dynasty in the future. Will it be like the Han Dynasty?"

Li Shimin spoke unceremoniously to Luo Su, because Luo Su had recognized him, so he would speak as the future ruler of the Tang Empire.

Luo Su glanced at Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanxing, and said thoughtfully: "There is no need to say more about Xuan Ye, he will follow you, life and death, and there is no need to say more about Xuan Jing and Xuan Ling.

If Dou Jiande does not die, Xuan Zhao and Xuanyun should follow Dou Jiande back to the Tang Dynasty. The premise is that you want to become the emperor, not your father.

Regarding Xuanyun's marriage, you choose some suitable ones and send them to me for viewing.

The Luo family returned to the south. To create a prosperous age, many Luo families were needed. The territory of the Tang Dynasty was too small now. When the territory expanded in the future, many Luo family sons and Luo family women would have to serve as officials. "

Li Shimin's face was full of surprise when he heard this. Luo Su's few words contained a lot of information. This Luo family is going to use great force!

Rather than being used as a mascot like the Han Dynasty, only branch officials became officials!

How could he not be excited about this? One of the greatest responsibilities of a king is to appoint talents, and the direct descendants of the Luo family are all talents. Now he is more confident about the prosperous age that may come in the future.

As long as you overcome the final difficulty, a beautiful and bright future is waiting for you!

Li Shimin said almost immediately: "The Tang Dynasty will always open the door to the Luo family, let the Luo family accompany the Tang Dynasty and regain its ultimate prosperity.

Mr. Wen, is it possible, I mean, that the Li family can marry the Luo family?
Just like the marriage between Ji and Jiang in Bangzhou!
I know it's presumptuous, but if I could..."

Although Luo Xuanye and Li Xiuning got married, this was not a real marriage between the Li family and the Luo family. Ji Jiang's marriage had come and gone.

Instead of the current Luo family who only marries men but not girls.

Luo Su did not refuse directly, but said with a smile: "The Luo family has never said that women of the Luo family are not allowed to remain unmarried, but women of the Luo family are not allowed to take concubines. This makes it difficult to be a queen. After all, it is difficult for a king to refuse to take concubines." Concubine, this is not the right move.

If in the future there are girls from the Luo family who are willing to marry, and there are girls from the Li family who are willing not to take concubines, this is not impossible. "

Although it is said that, it is actually impossible. It is not a joke if the king does not accept a concubine, and the ministers of the Luo family do not agree.

Li Shimin sighed lightly, knowing that this was indeed difficult, "I hope there will be some fate in the future. If I have a daughter in the future, I hope she can marry into the Luo family."

Luo Su did not refuse this. The fastest way to integrate into a dynasty was to marry. This is an eternal truth. The blending of blood will never disappoint.

Li Shimin strode away. Luo Xuanye saluted Luo Su and followed Li Shimin away. Luo Su's last voice echoed in Li Shimin's ears: "King Qin, go and face the stormy future until the rain passes and the sky clears. day."

……

This was the first time Luo Xuanxing met Li Shimin, but only for the first time, he understood why Luo Xuanye was devoted to Li Shimin and why his ancestors chose Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's intoxicating vitality and ever-present charm are truly unique.

The posture of dragon and phoenix, the appearance of sky and sun!
Nothing like that!

The only thing Luo Xuanxing didn't understand was that Li Shimin was deceived into lameness, but of course he didn't, so he asked: "Ancestor, is the road to becoming a Saint King really that difficult?
Want to train your mind so cruelly? "

Yes, it's cruel, especially for Luo Shi, who values ​​family ties, this is cruel.

Luo Su sat under the willow tree, the hanging willow branches gently stroking with majesty, "This is a win-win thing. Li Shimin will become an impeccable king, and our Luo family can also get endless benefits from it, at the cost of , is there a price?"

Luo Xuanxing asked in confusion: "What's the benefit to our Luo family?"

"Creating a prosperous world requires a king. If the king is poor, it will be difficult for us to succeed.

The most important thing is that after we succeed, the luck we get will definitely be worse.

We are still assistants, not real kings.

If we are not in our position but do the things we are in our position, we will not have much luck. This is what King Su told me.

If we prosper in an auxiliary position, the results will be maximized, so we need strong kings.

The more powerful the king, the more information he can give us. This is one of the benefits.

And another benefit..."

Luo Susurong said: "The spirit of King Su is in the sky, bestowing great light on the king.

The spirit of King Su is in the sky, protecting the Zhou people for thousands of years.

King Su will send blessings to Li Shimin, which will make his heart forever sacred. "

Luo Xuanxing understood the first benefit, but he didn't particularly understand the following sentence, but he vaguely understood what Luo Su meant.

If a king is criticized by someone who is interested, but the supreme and holy King Su recognizes him, what will the king do?

He will lift King Su high!

This is exactly what Luosu wants to see, the Emperor Su Wang, who will stand at the pinnacle of everything, and the king, the emperor, will be the heir of Su Wang.

Worship King Su, just like the Zhou people.

Respect King Su, just like the Zhou people do.

The process of the integration of the Luo family and the New Dynasty was not only the process of the Luo family's integration, but also the process of the New Dynasty bowing to King Su.

Luo Shi will step by step in Li Tang to obtain countless fortunes. Luo Shi will be extremely brilliant in Li Tang and strive for this goal.

Luo Su looked at Chang'an, a city already filled with murderous intent.

Where does this come from, from jealousy and resentment.

Li Shimin, Li Shimin, don't let me down. Only an unprecedentedly powerful king can match an unprecedented prosperous age.

----

Luo Su, a legendary figure who was active in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, is shrouded in countless legends. He has never been included in the biography, and his deeds are only recorded in the biographies of other princes and generals.

Luo Shi said that he was the descendant of Luo Wen Gong from the ancient Zhou Dynasty. He treated him with the highest etiquette, just like a believer treats a god. He had never married in his life and was alone. He was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He had great talents, but If he doesn't become an official, people at the time say, "If you don't serve the two masters, you will be a minister of the Zhou Dynasty in this life and will never enter the Tang Dynasty again."

So a title that had never appeared before appeared for the first time in the land of Zhuxia - National Master. What exactly did this National Master do? The author combed through the vast historical annals and wrote it down with sincerity. ——"The Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty"
