The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

No one likes war, and no one wants to see war.

Although military generals are willing to fight, they just need to use such means to show their status and abilities.

First, it is to let the emperor know that they are still young, and they can still fight, and they are still useful; second, it is to improve the status of their family; third, it is to let the world remember them. down.

Of course, there are other reasons, but they are basically profit-centered.

And what about the civil servants?

The reason why they choose not to fight is basically based on Confucianism, leading the peace of the world, promoting Confucianism, and banning the thoughts of people in the world.

Coupled with the promotion of the so-called benevolent government, it focuses on literati and attacks all demonized things that are not Confucianism.

As for foreign enemies, they can talk if they can, and if they can't talk, they can lose money and cede land, or make peace with each other, so as to achieve their so-called stop fighting on paper and achieve their good reputation.

But although this reputation was good at the time, it could also make the reputation of these people reach a peak.

But who knows, the vast majority of future generations sneer at this kind of behavior, and they all characterize this kind of behavior as an act of treason and seeking glory.

The marriages, indemnities, and cession of land recorded in the history books are nothing more than a collision of ideas, and it is nothing more than a struggle between civil and military at that time.

At this time, although the current situation of the Tang Kingdom is somewhat unsatisfactory, it is generally good.

The Turks have been scattered, Jieli Khan is dead, and the biggest enemy is gone, and now the biggest enemy is Tubo.

But at the moment, civil servants still don't want to see the two countries go to war, while military generals are sharpening their knives.

Who is Li Shimin?

Be an ambitious overlord.

If possible, Li Shimin would definitely go into battle by himself and enter Tubo.

But what about now?Same headache, same helplessness.

Even the actions of these civil servants, he can only choose to stay away from them, he doesn't want to collide with these civil servants, even his brother-in-law, he doesn't want to face them.

……

"The Holy Majesty knows what you think and what you mean. Now, although our country of Tang needs to recuperate, if we can't strictly enforce the law when foreigners make trouble in the capital of our country, how can we explain it to the people of the world? Do you want the holy name of the sage to be criticized by the world just because of this matter?" Empress Changsun felt helpless when she heard the voices of all the civil servants.

However, no matter how helpless she was, she had to appease these civil servants.

"Being an emperor is not easy, and being a good emperor is even more difficult. In the past, you have often advised the Holy Majesty. How did the Holy Majesty treat it? Did you choose not to listen or not to accept it? None! Every one of you has advice from the Holy Majesty. Asked in detail, if reasonable, will accept."

"As far as this matter is concerned, on such a big matter of right and wrong, rather than just letting those people go because they are missions of the Tubo Kingdom, why should the laws of Tang Dynasty be enacted and enforced? If the Tubo people are on the street Killing, killing your family members, should the Holy Majesty take care of it? Or listen to you and let them go?"

"I'm a woman and I don't understand the big truths, but I also know that state affairs are like family affairs, just like my own children being bullied for no reason. As a mother, I must help my daughter get justice. But are you here to make this fairness unjust? Is this to chill the hearts of the people in the world?"

Empress Changsun's words could be heard on the ground, but when she said this, Empress Changsun coughed violently, "cough, cough, cough".

At this moment, Empress Changsun, apart from coughing, also began to fall backwards.

Fortunately, Zhong Wen had quick eyesight and quick hands, and took advantage of the situation to support the eldest grandson empress.

"Queen..."

"Queen..."

"..."

"What are you shouting for? Shut up!" Zhong Wen didn't want to see these people the most at the moment, and he also hated hearing their voices the most.

Zhong Wen, who was supporting Empress Changsun, closed his eyes slightly, while feeling the pulse for Empress Changsun, while thinking about what kind of illness Empress Changsun had.

After Zhong Wen took the pulse, he confirmed that Empress Changsun was a little out of breath. In addition, her body was a little weak and she had other illnesses. The department called the imperial physician."

Those palace people heard Zhong Wen's shout, carried the frame over, and began to help Empress Changsun onto the frame and headed towards the palace city.

After a while, the imperial physician also came and was allowed to enter Miyagi.

And the only ones left were the civil servants and the military generals watching the bustle not far away.

At this time, they couldn't leave anymore.

They'd better pray that Empress Changsun is fine. If something happens to Empress Changsun, none of these civil servants can run away, otherwise...

As for the meditation, they have already stopped, standing there quietly, neither whispering nor speaking, like a group of wooden men, waiting for the news of the imperial physician's diagnosis and treatment from the palace.

Empress Changsun's words are probably still ringing in their ears at this moment. Whether they can listen to them or not depends on how long they are willing to entangle with this matter.

And Zhong Wen was still like a door god, standing guard at the gate of the palace city, and no one dared to approach him.

"You'd better keep the queen safe, if anything goes wrong, I, Zhong, will chop off all of your heads and hang them on the top of Chang'an City, so that the world will know what you look like. "Although Zhong Wen slightly closed his eyes, he suddenly spoke coldly.

Zhong Wen's words cast a curse on the heads of these civil servants at this time.

Whether it is Changsun Wuji or other people, the vast majority of people hope that the eldest grandson will be fine.

Of course, there must be some bad people among them.

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

This is true wherever you put it.

Time passed by in silence.

The minds of the civil servants are no longer chattering about the Tibetan people, or demonstrating to Li Shimin by sitting quietly.

There was no news from the palace, and the imperial physician did not come out either.

But at this time, nearly an hour has passed.

At this time, the execution platform in the southern suburb of Chang'an City.

The hour that Li Shan promised to Zhao Youde has passed.

"Mr. Zhao, the time has come. It is impossible to think about it. Mr. Zhao, please leave, we are going to execute." Li Shan said to Zhao Youde, who had been in a hurry and was going crazy.

"Commander Li, wait a little longer, please wait a little longer, Mr. Zhao Guogong and the others have already gone to see the sage, and there will be an imperial decree in a while. Commander Li, I have been waiting for an hour. Wait for another quarter of an hour, just a quarter of an hour." Zhao Youde is burning with anxiety.

Indeed, he can't do it if he's not in a hurry.

As a staff member of Duke Zhao's mansion, he was dedicated to making suggestions for Duke Zhao. Now that such a big thing happened, he, his staff, of course had to stop it. Otherwise, if the two countries went to war together, Duke Zhao would definitely be punished by the literati all over the world because he did not dissuade His Majesty. critical.

"The time has come for execution." Li Shan didn't want to wait any longer.

An hour has passed. If Li Shimin could really change his mind, there would have been an imperial decree as early as half an hour ago.

But now, where did the imperial decree come from, I didn't even see a single person.

As for those members of the Tubo Mission, they were already kneeling there in fright, not knowing what they were thinking.

On the contrary, it was the innate master who was abolished by Zhong Wen, but his eyes were blank at this time, looking into the distance, perhaps, he was thinking in his heart, why did he follow the mission to the Tang country this time, and stay behind? Is it not good on the plateau?

He doesn't worry about his life's cultivation being abolished, but once this person's head is chopped off, his life will be over. He is unwilling, really unwilling.

But no matter how unwilling, at this time, no one will save them, and no one can save them.

"Commander Li, wait a minute, wait a minute." Seeing that Li Shan was about to cut, Zhao Youde jumped up and jumped towards Li Shan and shouted.

"Follow orders, execute!" Li Shan yelled at the guards again.

"Plop flop..." As soon as the guards' knives fell, heads rolled.

The lives of all the people in the Tubo Mission ended at this moment, in the southern suburb of Chang'an City, Tang State!

Chapter 385 Seeing the Empress Safely

Empress Changsun is fine.

The imperial physician who came out of the palace brought the good news.

The civil servants and military generals standing not far from the gate of the palace city were greatly relieved.

Everyone's mouths are saying: nothing to do, nothing to do.

Of course it will be fine, if something really happened, Zhong Wen, the guardian of Miyagi, probably wouldn't stay so quietly at the gate of Miyagi.

When Zhong Wen took the pulse of Empress Changsun, he already knew the result.

It was because Zhong Wen had his pulse and had a certainty in his heart that he was so stable.

Although Empress Changsun is fine, she is in trouble right now.

Her body was already weak, and she had some diseases, coupled with this time's rush, she fell into a coma for a while.

What will happen in the future, the imperial physicians can only deal with it according to their methods.

Those officials gradually began to disperse after getting the eldest grandson empress to be safe.

It's impossible not to disperse.

Because they have seen Li Shan come back.

From the moment they saw Li Shan coming back, they already knew that this matter could not be undone, because the person had already been killed.

"My lord, I'm already dead. My lord, you guys are..." When the staff member from Zhao Guogong's mansion rushed over and replied to Changsun Wuji, all the ministers looked lonely.

"Go home first." Changsun Wuji saw Zhao Youde's eager eyes, patted him on the shoulder, and walked forward.

……

Things have been over for days.

The court meeting also stopped for several days.

Under the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial physicians, Empress Changsun gradually got better, and she was able to take a few steps for a walk occasionally, which also made Li Shimin feel relieved.

Zhong Wen spent the past few days very peacefully and comfortably.

You don't need to worry about anything, and you don't need to take care of the affairs of the palace. You spend every day in the small courtyard, meditating and practicing exercises.

When the king waits on them, he will come over from time to time to talk or something.

Even Jiang Neishi would occasionally come over to have a chat.

Zhong Wen didn't have much contact with Jiang Neishi, and after chatting with him a few times in the past few days, he got to know Jiang Neishi better.

A person who had injured his roots during a fight voluntarily entered the palace, which could be regarded as finding a way to survive for himself.

As for what happened in Miyagi, Zhong Wen also knew about it.

Speaking of which, Jiang Neishi can be regarded as a hard-working person.

When he was young, he had a good master who taught him martial arts.

Unexpectedly, when he was supposed to have a smooth journey, the master died for no apparent reason.

Later, the three brothers and sisters could only run around for the cause of their teacher's death.

Jiang Wei and Jiang Neishi are the third junior brother, and the dead Cao Meng is the senior senior brother.

Among them, there is a second child.

It's just that this second child has been dead for many years, and he didn't even leave a disciple.

Although the three brothers originally had their own families, they were killed by some opponents in order to find out the cause of their master's death, leaving only the three of them.

But on a certain day in a certain year, the three brothers had a big fight because of something, and at that time, Jiang Wei was injured by Cao Meng and left the division.

"Jiang Neishi, don't worry, if you want to leave, we won't stop you. If you want to stay here, the Holy Majesty won't blame you if you want to come. When the shadow returns, I will talk to the shadow." Zhong Wen Zai listened to some of Jiang's inner servants, and signaled Jiang's servants not to have any burdens in his heart.

In fact, Zhong Wen could also understand Jiang Neishi's mood.

After all, having been neglected by Li Shimin for so long, it would be impossible if he didn't have an idea in his heart.

Even though he has no roots, he still has some clan members.

Living hard for the sake of the tribe, that is also a kind of meaning.

"Thank you, Nine Heads Taoist Priest." Jiang Neishi felt relieved after hearing Zhong Wen's words.

Among the current Miyagi, apart from Shadow, the only one who can talk is Zhong Wen.

Both are masters in the innate realm, helping Li Shimin protect the safety of Miyagi, who else can speak for him?Except for the two of them, Jiang Wei couldn't find anyone else.

……

In the next two days, the court meeting resumed.

As for before the court meeting, Li Shimin also came to ask Zhong Wen if he would participate in it, but Zhong Wen refused.

Zhong Wen didn't want to participate in such a court meeting.

Being able to come here and help guard Miyagi is considered an exception.
