Don't be a prince

Well, old black.

It's impossible not to admit it. In this era, the old black, because he has to race against the beasts, his running speed is simply bt. Under the double-team of several old blacks, he can still run in second place, which is already amazing.

At the awards ceremony, the Supreme Emperor took the initiative to ask to present the awards.

When he saw Yang Yu on the podium crying into tears, he couldn't help but reprimanded: "Why are you crying? Your skills are inferior to others. If you lose, you will lose. Come again next time. Although my health is not good , but it’s not a problem to live for a few more years, I’m looking forward to seeing your performance at the next sports meeting!”

After finishing speaking, the Supreme Emperor handed over the silver medal in his hand to Yang Yu.

Yang Yu wiped his eyes and tears, took the medal and knelt on one knee on the podium and said: "Don't worry, the Supreme Emperor, next time, I will definitely run first!"

Nodding in satisfaction, Li Shimin pushed the wheelchair and left.The bronze medalist, an athlete from Dashi, was already very excited, but when he saw the Emperor Taishang of the Tang Dynasty leave, he looked confused...

However, Zhang Jianzhi reacted very quickly, and personally came to the stage, awarded him the bronze medal, and ended the awards ceremony.

Back at the judges' table, Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian earnestly: "I used to think that you only organized this sports meeting for fun. Now it seems that it does make sense. Our Datang people are of course the strongest in fighting power, but in some respects, It's really not close.

With the stimulation of the sports meeting, the generals and soldiers in the army can also have more motivation during training.Honor and disgrace are related, and our people will also actively exercise.It has a positive effect on improving the overall quality of our Datang.Now it seems that it is not a bad thing for us to lose a few more games. "

Li Chengqian nodded with a smile, but he laughed out of embarrassment in his heart.

How could there be so many reasons, he held this sports meeting purely for fun!Otherwise, why use the money of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to build the stadium?

However, now the money can also be returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Because the Ministry of Household Affairs has decided that all expenses related to sports games in the future will be paid for by gaming and lottery...

It was another exciting day of competition. After Li Chengqian returned to the palace, he entered the study and saw a secret letter on his desk.

The identity of the European prince who asked Datang to be the master has been confirmed, and he is a country named Finney.Judging from the blurred location on the map, it is almost the location of Sweden in later generations.

It's not a good location, but it's not bad either.Although it is a bit far away, if Finney can be accepted as Datang's younger brother, it will be very helpful for Datang to control the situation in Europe.

And it was the Sami country in the north that attacked the Finnish country.

The distance is too far, if Datang sends troops, I don't know how much it will cost, the gain outweighs the loss.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian said to Zhang Yun at the door: "Go, call Prince Finney, Prince Knowles, and Prince Chu De."

Zhang Yun took the order, and not long after, he secretly called the three of them.

Because the Sami country violated the rules set by the Tang Dynasty, they did not send anyone this time. Instead, they excused the long distance and just asked Knowles to help carry the tribute.

The three princes did not expect to be summoned by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so they changed into the most formal attire one after another, and even chose a personal gift as a meeting ceremony.They are not stupid, if they can build a good relationship with the Tang Emperor, their status in the country will also rise, and it is not impossible to surpass their stupid king father.

The magnificence of the Tang Palace amazed the three of them. The newly renovated Ganlu Palace, even in the most difficult afternoon in midsummer, still makes people feel cool.

Along the way, the three princes only felt that they were just like the common people of Tang Dynasty, they couldn't be compared!

Entering the study room, the three of them knelt down on one knee while keeping a distance.They have specially studied the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. Although kneeling on both knees is the highest etiquette, Tang people generally do not use this etiquette. Kneeling on one knee is enough to show respect.

Looking at these three guys with obvious European features, Li Chengqian said: "Excuse me, sit down."

The tongues of Honglu Temple have been prepared, as long as the conversation is not too long, it will not take much effort to communicate.

After the three of them were seated, Li Chengqian made a long story short: "I decided to uphold justice for the country of Finney, not only to return the city of Finney to Sami, but also to pay for their rudeness. However, you are too far away from the Tang Dynasty It would be inappropriate for the Tang army to go on an expedition. Therefore, I called Prince Knowles and Prince Chu De to help the Finnish country and conquer the Sami country.

Of course, because this should be Datang's job, if you ask the two of you to help, you will always have to pay.How about this, I can give you some Tang army equipment, including thunder arrows, grenades, eight ox crossbows and eight ox crossbow gunpowder arrows.What do you think? "

The three of them listened to the Emperor Tang's speech in a daze, and watched in a daze as the tongue-twisters gradually changed their sentences.When the last person expressed the words they could understand, all three were stunned.

Especially Prince Finney, stood up without hesitation, knelt on his knees and saluted.At the stadium that day, he only said this out of the possibility of an emergency.Although he got a reply from Emperor Datang, but after returning to the inn and listening to the teacher's analysis for a while, he felt that Datang was just talking on the scene.Who would have thought that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty really wanted to help them.

Prince Knowles and Prince Chu De were also stunned. Datang did not send troops and asked them to send troops. This meant that they could use Datang's will to concentrate on dealing with Sami without worrying about the aggression of neighboring countries.

Moreover, the Sami country is a big country, and if they help the Finnish country, they can't get nothing!

As for Prince Chu De, he couldn't help fantasizing about it.Although they are not adjacent to the Sami country, they can definitely ask for part of the territory from the Finnish country as a reward!

If that's the case, then don't be so cool!

The combined military strength of the three countries must be stronger than that of Sami, and if it can be equipped with the magical weapons of Datang.Needless to say, the war is won!

Nodding yes and shaking their heads no, this is universal, and the three of them nodded without hesitation.

If you don't seize this opportunity, you'd be a fool!

Chapter 572 Take a Good Look at Datang (End)

The Ministry of Industry has yet to draw a map of Datang, let alone a map of the world.However, even if the map is inaccurate, there will not be too many problems in terms of the size of the country.

Knowles, Finney and Chu De, the three countries sent troops together, and it was very easy to defeat Sami.

Next, Li Chengqian wrote out a list of equipment, and after the translator translated it, he handed it over to the three of them.

Looking at the content written on the paper, the three of them danced and danced for a while.

For a long time, because the distance was too far, they had only heard of Tang Jun's magical weapon, but now, they had the opportunity to obtain this weapon and use it in battle.

If it is normal, even if they want to use troops against the Sami country, they will be restrained by neighboring countries, and there is no way to do it.But this time is different, Sami country is stupidly angering the real empire in this world - Datang.

As long as the three countries follow the will of the Tang Dynasty, they can offset the constraints of the surrounding countries.Because, even if the news is as closed as they are, they know that the empire in the east cannot be provoked at all.

Soon, Zhao Zian, Minister of the Ministry of War, came to see him, took the three of them down, and showed them their weapons.When it comes to gunpowder weapons, care must be taken.

After the three of them left, Li Chengqian drove Zhang Yun away, and sat alone on the recliner in the study, unable to calm down for a long time.

The Sami country is too far away, so the other three countries should be armed and let them deal with the Sami country together.And the way to arm them is gunpowder weapons, which are now ahead of the times.

Needless to say, after setting this precedent, Datang may face more requests in the future.For example, if the defeated Sami country can survive the defeat, they will definitely ask Datang for forgiveness at any cost, and try to obtain gunpowder weapons, and then regain their land.

In this way, wouldn't Datang become a weapons dealer?It's not appropriate to make war money!What is the difference between such behavior and the "world police" of later generations?

While Li Chengqian was thinking wildly, the door of the study was pushed open, and then, Li Shimin drove into the study by himself in a wheelchair.

Li Chengqian sat up when he heard the door knock.

As the emperor, when he gave an order, 90.00% of the time, no one dared to violate it, but only one of the one percent of people who came in despite knowing that he wanted to be quiet—too emperor.

Getting up and pushing the wheelchair, both father and son sat near the desk.

After pouring a cup of hot tea to the Supreme Emperor, Li Chengqian said, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be resting at this time?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "The rest is not stable enough. My crotch is in unbearable pain now. I have to take pain-relieving soup every day to fall asleep. But taking too much medicine can hurt my body, so now I have changed the habit of taking a nap. On the contrary, you, why do you want to think about things alone when you have nothing to do? Is it related to the three foreign princes who left the palace?"

Li Chengqian nodded and expressed his thoughts.

After hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin said helplessly: "I thought you were confused because of this, so it was because of this. Now that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous in business, the business tax alone is enough for the court to spend. I was curious about the court meeting this month, so I ran to the back The palace eavesdropped, and the Ministry of Household Affairs now has tens of millions of war funds alone, and disaster relief funds have reached tens of millions. It can be said that even if the world continues to attack the Tang Dynasty in the next three or two years, or there are many disasters , there is nothing to worry about.

Money is a good thing, but not more is better.Too much money stored by the imperial court will only cause a money shortage for the outside world.We Datang, there is no need to exchange weapons for money now! "

Li Chengqian said helplessly: "When my son and minister were in power, maybe they wouldn't do such a thing, but who can say what will happen in the future? We can't educate future generations."

"Who said you can't? When I was in office, I always wanted to write a book called "Di Fan" as a warning to future generations. But when I watched you grow up, I suddenly found that Di Fan There are many things in the mid laner that will become your bondage, so I didn't take them out.

Now, since you are worried that future generations will sell weapons for profit, then set rules for future generations.Don't forget, although you are the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you are one of the founders and continuators of Zhenguan's prosperity.For future generations, your status may not be inferior to mine. "

Li Chengqian nodded, and then proposed: "Father, why don't you show your emperor model to your ministers, and let's work together to formulate a new emperor that will not be too restrictive for future generations, but can also play a role in regulating." Fan, how is it?"

Li Shimin laughed and said: "Tomorrow is a group tug-of-war competition. I don't need to watch it. I know that Liu Mang's Iron Hammer team will win. It's extremely tasteless. You and I, father and son, just rewrite the Emperor Fan!"

Li Chengqian nodded, summoned Zhang Yun to come in, and gave instructions for tomorrow.

The afternoon always passed very short, the Supreme Emperor did not have a public emperor model, Li Chengqian read it once, and couldn't help feeling that this old guy has a really good literary talent.

The book "Emperor Fan" is not so much a family instruction for future generations as it is a highly concentrated experience of Li Shimin's life in power. He has made very insightful explanations on family and state affairs such as education and military affairs.

Although Li Chengqian has been the emperor for nearly three years, when he read this article, he still felt enlightened.

Good stuff, this thing should be seen often.

Seeing that Li Chengqian had closed the book, Li Shimin asked with a smile: "How is it, my book, isn't it good?"

Li Chengqian said with emotion: "Not only is it good, this book is spread, and it is estimated that many people will praise the literary talent of the father. It's just that the No. 12 Chongwen, in the eyes of my ministers, is a little inappropriate. The founding of the country, and created the reputation of the world's most powerful country in the world's attack on the Tang Dynasty.

It can be seen from this that Wen can govern internally, and martial arts can defend against the enemy.Both civil and military talents can make the country stable, and the military power may always be in the hands of the royal family, but the strategy of strengthening the military must not be slack. ",

Li Shimin nodded and said: "You are quite right, but do you think I could write like this in 12? Since ancient times, it has been a trend to favor literature and weak martial arts. When going to war, if I put too much emphasis on the importance of the army, wouldn’t I be persuaded by those rotten scholars every day? No matter how big a country is, a warlike country will surely perish. I’m almost tired of hearing this truth.”

Li Chengqian smiled, said no more, but picked up a pen and began to write his family motto.

The Supreme Emperor is still self-effacing, and his "Emperor Fan" actually has not many problems.If you have to say that there is something wrong, except for "Chongwen", it is probably that the whole article is full of truth.In fact, the content of Di Fan is no different from what the prince has been taught all along.

If it has to be increased....

Li Chengqian chuckled, and began to pour a large amount of poisonous chicken soup on the paper.

People live in reality, and ideals are always ideals.An emperor who works seriously according to the records in the books will eventually be overthrown by reality.Therefore, if you want to be a strong emperor, you must not only maintain your original aspirations, but also do a good job. It is impossible not to be black.

The first principle of monarchy: the wife is the first of the country, and the country is the foundation of the monarch.The body of the human master is like a mountain, high and unmoving; like the sun and the moon, bright and shining everywhere.What Zhaoshu looks up to, what the world returns to.A magnanimous mind is enough to cover everything; a straight mind is enough to restrain.There is no way to go far without mighty virtue, and no way to care for others without kindness.Fu Jiu Clan with benevolence, receive ministers with courtesy.Think of filial piety in the first place, and respect in the position.It is the nature of a king to devote oneself to hard work and to practice virtue and righteousness.

This is the first rule of Emperor Fan of the Supreme Emperor Li Shimin.

However, when Li Chengqian wrote the first article, he used the vernacular and wrote openly: "As a king, you should distinguish right from wrong. Don't expand your goodwill, so as to be deceived by others; don't be blindly filial, so as not to be influenced by your parents "Those who praise and flatter you are not necessarily traitors; those who advise and advise you are not necessarily loyal. Right and wrong, good and evil, you should not just look at the surface, you must learn to think deeply..."

Li Shimin couldn't laugh or cry when he saw these words written by Li Chengqian.These are indeed reasonable, but they can't be put on the table because they don't sound good.Therefore, his imperial style can even be passed on, but the emperor's family precepts can only be kept in the ancestral hall as a family precept to alert future generations.

People always have good intentions. Perhaps in the international arena, Datang sells weapons to other countries and provokes the relationship between countries in the world. In exchange for great profits, this profit can even be used to regulate the people of Datang. life.However, the acquisition of this money is ultimately based on the suffering of the people of other countries.

The "world police" approach does not apply to the Tang Dynasty. Since ancient times, the Central Plains has been able to stand proudly on top of the world many times, perhaps because of the role of the "great power spirit".

Of course, as an emperor, Li Chengqian still had to add a stinginess to this "great power spirit".This is the case in interpersonal communication. The more generous a person is, the harder it is to get true friends.The ones who really have a wide range of friends and are praised by others are those who can not only maintain their own status quo, but also lend a helping hand to others.

After writing a few large pages in an eloquent manner, Li Chengqian didn't stop until the lights came on, and put the manuscript aside.

Li Shimin couldn't laugh or cry and said, "You write everything."

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "I feel that since we want to leave something to future generations, we must leave the most authentic ones. People who only learn loyalty, filial piety, propriety, righteousness and trustworthiness are easy to be bullied. To be a good emperor, always On the basis of maintaining these good morals, learn to be shameless, learn to be stingy, etc."

Li Shimin nodded, noncommittal.

In this way, it took Li Chengqian two days to write down his "Emperor Fan".At the same time, because of the speech of "leaving something for future generations", he also wrote some things, and sealed them in the secret compartment of the dragon chair in the Tai Chi Hall.What he chose to stay was a guarantee, a guarantee that could help Datang continue to stand on top of the world.

To be more precise, in fact, that paragraph of text is the research direction of a weapon...

The International Games ended, and Datang naturally ranked first in the gold medal list.The second is Turkic, and the third is Dashi.

As one of the countries with the largest territory in the world, both Turkic and Dashi have the potential to compete with Datang for number one.

The end of the International Games is the Great Court Games.

At the meeting of the Great Court, Li Chengqian announced the order of Datang to support the Finnian country and crusade against the Sami country.At the same time, Li Mengyu was also made the prince, and he decided to leave Chang'an with the Supreme Emperor and travel around the Tang Dynasty.

With this order, the officials were shocked.

Xu Jingzong left his seat almost immediately, threw himself on the main hall and shouted: "Your Majesty, as the ruler of a country, how can you abandon the government."

Li Chengqian said helplessly: "I've made up my mind, don't talk about it anymore. During the International Games, I let go of the government completely, just to see if the current court can operate independently. The result is naturally good, even if the chief officials of the ministries are not there , but the government affairs are still handled in an orderly manner. As the emperor, I need to adjust the general direction at most, even if I am not in charge of specific affairs, it doesn't matter.

What's more, now that the official roads of the Tang Dynasty extend in all directions, even if I am in other places, some government affairs can be handled in time.It's even faster than sending it to Chang'an for processing.The Supreme Emperor is in poor health. As the eldest son, I naturally have to escort him. This is filial piety. "

Seeing that the emperor even brought out filial piety, the officials had no choice but to shut up.

Of course, for Li Tai who came to attend the court meeting today, he knew very well that Brother Huang clearly wanted to use the name of "filial piety" to go out and have fun.

Zhao Yi and others who also guessed the emperor's thoughts, Fang Yu came out of the class, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty wants to leave Chang'an, I dare not stop you, but I ask your Majesty to bring enough guards to accompany the Supreme Emperor on a tour of the mountains and rivers." Don’t go too far from the state capital when you’re here.”

Li Chengqian naturally agreed: "Of course."

At this point, the court meeting is over.

In the early morning of the next day, Pan Tianhou, Liu Mang and Fang Shuo, leading Qianniuwei, escorted the emperor and the Supreme Emperor's team, and left the palace.

The destination of this trip is Kuozhou. The reason why I chose this place is because there is a pregnant woman in the palace who is inconvenient to travel with.And Su Yuan also chose to stay in the palace.

After the team left Chang'an City, Li Chengqian opened the curtain of the carriage and saw Li Tai who came to see him off.

Li Tai leaned over with a smile, climbed the window and said, "You want to go out to play, although I really want to, but those dead Taoist priests in the scientific research institute have actually studied electric currents and developed some methods, so I won't go. You are outside, you must take good care of your father, queen and queen."

Li Chengqian nodded, clapped his hands with Li Tai, and then ordered the team to move on.

After leaving the city for a while, Li Chengqian opened the curtain at the back, but he couldn't see Mingde Gate anymore.

The surrounding areas of Chang'an have been developing, and around Chang'an, I don't know how many households are extending outward.

The city wall of Chang'an can no longer be the eggshell of this eagle city.

However, whether it is demolishing the city walls or expanding the city gates, it is the job of the Chang'an county magistrate.

The decentralization of power is of course for the stability of the government, but part of the reason is that he does not want to be bound by power, like the Supreme Emperor, who has been confined in Chang'an for decades.

In the end, from the very beginning, he was not very willing to be emperor. It was only for his own safety, to put this powerful dynasty on the right track, and let the people of the Central Plains stand proudly on top of the world ahead of schedule. the emperor.

The short twenty-odd years in the previous life are a little blurry when I think about it now.However, since God gave him a second chance, he still decided to be a little bit closer to himself.

After all, people, although there are some extremely selfish people by nature, but more people still don't know how to treat themselves well.
