Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"I think that day outside the city of Chang'an, when the king of Peiping beheaded the Turkic Khan with the Qinglong sword in his hand, he was born with a vision, and the tiger roared and the dragon soared."

"It has been witnessed by countless people."

"About this rumor, it is becoming more and more popular among the people, and it has even reached an outrageous situation."

"Your Majesty, you must guard against the King of Peking!"

Listening to Du Zhenglun's words, Li Shimin's brows became tighter and tighter, and the expression on his face became extremely ugly.

Seeing him like this, Du Zhenglun thought that his admonition had worked, so the more he talked, the more excited he was.

However, the essence of the matter was quite different from what he had imagined.

And when he came to the end, he almost directly said that Li Qiu had the heart of disobedience and wanted to covet the throne, Li Shimin finally couldn't bear it.

With a loud bang, a fist hit the dragon case hard.

"Du Zhenglun!"

"As the prime minister of my Great Tang Dynasty and the capital of Zhongshu Province, how could you say such words?!"

"The king of Peking, Li Qiu, fought to the death for my Tang Dynasty."

"Saved this Chang'an city, how many times has this Tang been saved?!"

"How did it come to you that he has a disobedient heart and covets rebellion?!"

"Even those censors want to listen to the wind and comment."

"But you are lucky, you don't even have a reputation, you just talk about some messy alchemy and metaphysics!"

"The tiger roars and the dragon soars, where is that tiger, that dragon?!"

Chapter 458

Back then, I was at the top of the city, why didn't I see any tigers roaring and dragons soaring? ! "

"In my life, I believe in everything, except that I don't believe in ghosts and gods, and I don't believe in fate!"

"And you, as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, slander me, the youngest and illustrious Shangzhu Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty without any basis, is it unethical?!"

The huge contrast between Li Shimin's front and back, and the fury of the thunder, also horrified Du Zhenglun.

Hastily bowed and confessed.

After a few more reprimands and Du Zhenglun resigned, Li Shimin was still angry.

Leaning deeply on the dragon chair, he took a few deep breaths.

In fact, even in history, Li Shimin is also the most famous person who believes in gods and Buddhas and is the most superstitious.

Therefore, the myths and legends derived from Li Shimin in later generations are also the most abundant in history.

If the person in Du Zhenglun's mouth was replaced by someone else, other generals, maybe Li Shimin would really have to murmur behind his back.

But this person is the king of Beiping, Li Qiu, his own biological son, and his pride as a father is too late, so how could he fulfill Du Zhenglun's wish? !

And the natural vision on the battlefield that day, the roar of the tiger and the soaring dragon, Li Shimin also saw it in his eyes and was shocked in his heart.

(Li Qiu's 50-point special effects are not in vain.)

However, the more heroic Li Qiu is, the more innate vision, the more Li Shimin agrees with Li Qiu in his heart.

He Li Shimin is the emperor, and his son is naturally a great hero!

Didn't you see it, even God recognized it like this.

If there is no prince Li Chengqian now, Li Shimin will definitely pass the crown prince to Li Qiu directly, there is absolutely no doubt about it.

Can have such a son who is so excellent that he is better than blue, what is there to be dissatisfied with as a father?

A few days later, Li Shimin found an excuse and transferred Du Zhenglun to the Hongwen Museum on the grounds that he had lost the prime minister's virtue, where he became a bachelor and edited historical materials.

At the same time, Xiao Yu, a veteran of the three dynasties, was ordered to become prime minister again to reflect the great grace of the court.

I also hope that Xiao Yu can come out of the grief of Empress Xiao's death this time, which can be regarded as a comfort and compensation for him.

As a result, new changes have taken place in the division of power in the court.

The position of prime minister who was originally inclined to the prince's east palace became Xiao Yu, an old minister who was close to King Wu Li Ke. King Wu, who was once thought to be in decline, saw a glimmer of light again.

……

Just one month before the New Year's Eve, another major event happened in the peaceful and peaceful Datang.

Xiazhou sent an urgent report, saying that there was an envoy sent by the new Khan Yi Shiyinan in the grassland. He lost his mind and asked to see His Majesty in person.

This news, for Datang who has been oppressed and bullied by the Turks, is definitely good news, heavy news.

Then the pot was opened in the city of Chang'an and on the court hall.

At that time, without any hesitation, Li Shimin ordered directly to let their missions enter Chang'an first.

The majestic Tang Dynasty must let them meet and make it clear.

Immediately, just as the Turkic mission was rushing from Xiazhou to Chang'an, arguing arose in the court surrounding the Turkic professing minister and seeking peace.

Because of the seriousness of the matter, Li Shimin also specially announced that the civil and military officials of the imperial court would meet together.

A great court meeting was held to discuss this matter specifically.

Li Qiu, as the current main general of the military, especially the greatest contributor to the conquest of the Turks this time, is naturally on the list.

So the day before, he and Wu Sui came to live in the Beiping Palace in Chang'an City.

I got up early this morning before I arrived, and came to the court in a daze.

Waiting for the palace door to open, and seeing him so sleepy in the long corridor, Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting couldn't help making fun of him.

"Li Qiu, just say you, you only go to court a few times a year, and you're still so sleepy?"

Li Qiu yawned and sighed, "You all get up early every day, and you are used to it."

"I'm not used to it?!"

"Actually, I've always wondered why it's so early and it's so dark."

"Wouldn't it be better for everyone to come to court after the curfew is lifted?"

Seeing him talking nonsense again, Wang Gui hastily winked at him and glared at him.

Then he lowered his voice and said: "What occasion is this, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds!"

"This is in the palace, not in your Youzhou and the army."

"You are just too young and don't read classics and history."

"Look at the history books, how many people took credit for their arrogance and arrogance, and ended up with their families ruined and their lives miserable."

"Especially you, the greater the achievements you have now, the more humble and cautious you must be."

"I heard before that some courtiers are already dissatisfied with you and want to sue you for rumors such as supporting soldiers and self-respect."

"Especially when you were outside the city and showed signs of a dragon and a tiger, etc."

"If this reaches the ears of His Majesty or the royal family, it will not be a trivial matter."

"Li Qiu, don't underestimate the power of such rumors."

"There is a saying in this ancient book that people's mouths can melt gold, and accumulations can destroy bones. This is the truth."

"People's words are terrible!"

At this time, not only Wang Gui, but also Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, and Feng Li on the side also lowered their voices to persuade.

Tell Li Qiu to be careful, prudent, and prepared.

The most important thing is, don't talk nonsense anymore, and let your excuses and excuses fall.

For this, Li Qiu also nodded deeply.

It was true, and when his child was born in a few months, it would be better for the family to return to Youzhou as soon as possible.

As long as I stay in Chang'an, there will always be people who don't like me.

Immediately, when the time came, the gate of the palace opened wide, and the officials who were waiting here filed in and came to the Tai Chi Hall.

Then the civil and military officials stood in order.

Originally, Li Qiu, who was also the king of the Shangzhu Kingdom and the county, had to be tied for the least with Li Jing.

But Li Qiu was still very winking, and under the meaningful eyes of Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Chai Shao and other elders, he obediently stood behind these people.

Anyway, everyone is wearing purple robes, which are not eye-catching.

It just so happens that he can take a nap secretly and wander around.

Chapter 459 There is history to learn from, the Yongjia Rebellion

Soon, the morning court began, and Li Shimin took the lead in setting the tone for today's court meeting.

"Today, the reason why the early court was changed to a court meeting is to call all your civil and military officials here."

"It's just to brainstorm and discuss the Turkic vassalization and come to seek peace."

"So today, we will focus on this matter, and let's not talk about other things."

Immediately afterwards, officials from the Ministry of Rites and others began to sing praises, praising Datang for making such a feat under the leadership of the emperor.

Such words as gratifying and congratulating.

For this, Li Shimin readily accepted.

It has been several years since he became emperor, and it was either a famine or a war.

Finally, there is a feat that can be taken out, enough to be recorded in the annals of history.

Even if it is him, it is inevitable to have vanity, and human nature is also inevitable.

Therefore, the process of singing praises alone lasted for more than an hour.

It went directly from five o'clock to almost seven o'clock.

Li Qiu standing in the crowd was tired, hungry and sleepy, but in his heart he silently scolded and made arrangements for these civil servants many times.

It wasn't until this time that the great savior Wei Zheng finally stepped forward to stop this useless eulogy.

"Your Majesty, I think it is a great thing for the Turks to surrender."

"I think I was bullied by the Turks in the Central Plains, and I in the Tang Dynasty became a vassal like the Turks again and again, paying tribute for more than ten years."

"Now I'm finally proud, and I'm ashamed."

"But I think that our court can't be careless about the Turkic surrender."

"Let's not let them still live in the grasslands, just pay tribute every year."

"For the Turks, we have just wiped out their king's tent, and even slaughtered 10,000+ of his tribe."

"How could they not hate us?"

"Right now they come to ask for peace because they are afraid of the majesty of our Tang army, and they are looking for a temporary respite."

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

"Well, Wei Zheng, what you said makes sense."

"In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

Wei Zheng went on to say at this moment: "I think that all the tribes in the grassland should be relocated to our Tang territory."

"Scattered in various counties and counties, let them live in those abandoned and barren lands that have been ravaged by war. While strictly guarding against them, gradually Sinicize them."

"Yan Ge prospers the culture, Bu De bestows benefits, the Central Plains are safe, and people from afar are self-contained."

"Within a few generations, it will be impossible to tell whether it is Turkic or Han Chinese, and this hidden danger will be eliminated."

"On the contrary, it can increase the population of my Tang Dynasty."

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded without expressing any opinion.

At this time, Wen Yanbo, the imperial historian, also stepped forward and said: "I would like to report to Your Majesty, and I also think that what Wei Zheng Wei said has some truth."

"For these Turks, they must not be allowed to continue to live together on the grassland."
