Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"Wu Jue?"

Chapter 461 Was I also this stubborn when I was young?

Upon hearing Li Qiu's words, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, and Chai Shao were stunned at the same time.

Changsun Wuji said with a smile: "It has been rumored that this precious daughter of the samurai family is extremely talented and familiar with scriptures and history. Let's take a look now."

"It's even bigger than the rumors say!"

Li Shimin also laughed, "I remember, when Li Qiuman wrote couplets for others in Chang'an, the girl Wu Jue must be with him, right?"

Changsun Wuji nodded: "Your Majesty is right."

"Wu Jue's calligraphy is also very good."

Among these people, the one who is most familiar with Furongyuan and Li Qiu's family is naturally Chai Shao.

At this time, he also smiled, and said to Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji: "Your Majesty, auxiliary machine, there are some things that you may not know yet."

"Nowadays in the entire Tang Dynasty, almost everyone knows that the thirteen prefectures of Youzhou have a good harvest, and they have received 40 refugees from the entire Tang Dynasty in one go."

"But no one knows that from last winter to the present, the spring plowing and water conservancy in the entire Youzhou have all been taken care of by Wu Jue girl."

"At that time, Li Qiu was busy forging iron, developing and making armor and Mo Dao."

"Kexin girl is going to lead Luo Liang and others to be busy with conscription and training."

"So last year, the government affairs of the entire thirteen prefectures of Youzhou were all in charge of and taken care of by Wu Jue girl."

"And now, after returning to the Furong Garden, the entire business chain of the Furong Garden, whether it is tea or others, has also been handed over to Wu Sui."

"Either sometimes when I chat privately with Princess Pingyang, I secretly think that the child Li Qiu married these two wives."

"One piece of literature and one military force, each one is a great person."

Hearing this, while Changsun Wuji was amazed, he also looked at Li Qiu with relief and said, "You kid, you are also a very happy and blessed person!"

"You have to take good care of Kexin and Wujue girl, don't let her down."

For the care and teaching of the elders, Li Qiu naturally nodded repeatedly.

For these compliments to his two wives, Li Qiu was also quite happy and honored in his heart.

At this time, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Before, the samurai Xun told me that when he was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he still had a daughter at home to help with some trivial government affairs."

"But now in Jingzhou, he is the only one left."

"For the Yuezhou and Fuzhou I entrusted to him, he is really a little too tired, and his strength is limited. I am afraid that there will be omissions."

"At that time, I thought he was just making up an excuse, so I rejected him."

"Looking at it now, at least what the warrior Xun said is true."

"It's just that, don't look at how many officials I have in Datang."

"But those who are really capable, I can trust, are still too few!"

Afterwards, he turned his eyes to Li Qiu again, and said earnestly, "As for your mood at this time, and what you said in the courtroom today."

"I understand very well."

"I believe that all the generals in the Tang Dynasty have the same thoughts as you in their hearts. They wish they could kill that Turk completely."

"But for a country, for my Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to do that."

"There are a lot of things involved here, and it's not as simple as you take it for granted."

"When you have time, read more classics and history, gain some experience, and gradually understand."

At this time, Li Qiu bowed and said: "Your Majesty's words are very true, Li Qiu will take it to heart."

"However, I am nothing more than a general. When foreign enemies invade, I will lead the army to defend the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

"Now that the war is over, I will return to Youzhou to let the people under my rule live and work in peace."

"As for the others, I have already received such favor and reward from His Majesty, so I don't have much to ask for."

"For authority and so-called status, the minister is not interested at all."

"So like those foreign powers who broke into my Tang family, insulted my Tang wife and daughter, and harmed my Tang Dynasty, we instead retaliate against these powerful Confucian classics and history."

"It's better not to learn."

"In my heart, there will always be only one simple view, a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood, cutting grass and roots, and never having future troubles!"

Hearing Li Qiu's words, Chai Shao on the side was frightened to death.

How can a general of the imperial court dare to be so outspoken and question the imperial court's policy in front of His Majesty?

Isn't this arrogance? !

For this kind of thing, the more general you are, the more military merit you have, the less you can take credit for it!

Li Qiu's attitude is simply taboo.

So, before Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji could say anything, Chai Shao immediately scolded.

"Li Qiu!"

"Look what nonsense you're talking about!"

"Can what you see be the same as what you see at the level of the entire Tang Dynasty?"

"Now that the imperial court has made a decision, His Majesty has asked you to read more classics and history, what nonsense are you still talking about?!"

"Aren't you quick to apologize to His Majesty?!"

Hearing Chai Shao's scolding and his constant winks, Li Qiu also woke up immediately, and immediately bowed down to apologize.

At this time, Li Shimin's attitude was fortunately the same, instead he waved his hand kindly.

"Chai Shao, he is only so old now, a child, so you don't have to get angry because of him."

"Furthermore, I believe that even the hot-blooded man of my Tang Dynasty, as well as the countless generals and soldiers in the army, are all the same as Li Qiu."

"As much as I love the Central Plains, I hate that Turk."

"It's also very understandable."

"Okay, it's already time, you all leave soon, go home and have dinner."

Afterwards, Li Qiu resigned and left, and Chai Shao followed closely, wanting to tell Li Qiu more.

Although Chai Shao is Li Shimin's brother-in-law, the relationship with Li Shimin is so close.

But the more this happened, the more he knew that the royal family was ruthless, and the more they reached the height of power, the more cautious they had to be.

Because as long as one mistake or mistake, the whole family may fall into the abyss along with it.

This is definitely not a joke.

Even in the history books, such extreme turning points are not uncommon, too many.

For Chai Shao's kindness and love, Li Qiu naturally knew and was very grateful in his heart, so he responded again and again, saying that he would remember it.

On the other side, in the imperial study room, after watching Chai Shao and Li Qiu leave, Li Shimin smiled wryly at his eldest grandson Wuji.

"Auxiliary machine, I wonder if you were so stubborn when you were so young?"

Chapter 462 The saints in the Spring and Autumn Period may not be right about the Tang Dynasty

Changsun Wuji also laughed at this time, "Well, this bastard is just like His Majesty back then."

"Especially the unbelief in this kid and the drive to stick to his own opinion, which is exactly the same as your Majesty back then."

Hearing his words, Li Shimin laughed too.

"So, when I see this bastard, I seem to vaguely see you and me when we were young."

"But this kid is even bolder than I was back then."

"When I was his age, although I dared to fight the enemy without fear, I didn't dare to kill prisoners, and killed so many prisoners!"

"And look now, he actually wants to slaughter the entire grassland!"

"It's also because he dared to think?!"

At this moment, Changsun Wuji shook his head and sighed softly, "Your Majesty, in this regard, I really can't blame the child."

"Your Majesty was also forced by his family to worship famous Confucianism as his teacher and read the Four Books and Five Classics."

"The environment where Li Qiu grew up is completely different."

"I was able to raise myself up, acquire good martial arts, and make great contributions to my Tang Dynasty with my own strength."

"What more can we ask of a child like this?"

"At least, until now, he has never relied on his father, his mother, or his uncle..."

"For Li Qiu, his world is really simple."

"Do not seek fame, do not seek power, even if he seeks profit, he relies on his own methods and intelligence."

"Be fair and aboveboard, and do not take ill-gotten gains."

"The people of my Tang Dynasty treat him well and grow up with him, so he will treat these people better."

"And those who have hurt him, those who have a grudge against him, he can also kill them."

"So his hatred of Turks is also the most intuitive."

"However, Your Majesty, sometimes, we have to admit that often the simplest and most direct way is the best way."

……

On the other side, when Li Qiu returned to the Beiping Palace, Wu Jue here had already prepared sumptuous meals.

Li Qiu was also really hungry, and while gobbling it up, he complained to Wu Sui about what happened in the court today.

"This group of shit-like Confucian civil servants, gentry."

"What can't be done, hold back No. 1."

"With this kind of tyrannical nature, the Turks who have a deep hatred with me in the Tang Dynasty and the Central Plains, they still want to be gentle and lure wolves into the house."

"Move the tribes of the grassland to the interior of the Central Plains!"

"Aren't they afraid to raise wolf cubs and swallow them all?!"

"Even if these bastards don't care, how many people in our Central Plains will be killed by their actions?!"

"I really regret it. It was better to let the Turkic people into Chang'an, slaughter all these idiots first, and then let their wronged souls continue to repay their grievances with virtue. Thank you Turkic grandfathers for giving them a happy time!"

Seeing Li Qiu like this, Wu Jue chuckled beside him while persuading him.

"My husband's idea is so weird."

"However, according to my concept of the Central Plains and the Confucian classics, we should establish the virtues of a great country and submit to the Quartet."

"The sage Meng said that those who convince others with strength are not convinced by the heart, and power does not support them. Those who convince others with virtue are convinced by the heart and sincerity, just like the Seventy Sons obeyed Confucius."

At this time, Li Qiu did not take this Confucian and Mencius philosophy seriously, "The sages of the Spring and Autumn Period may not necessarily be the sages of the Tang Dynasty now."

"They are all human beings, and they all have one nose, two eyes, and one mouth."

"Nothing special."

"What they said may not be all right."

"At least it may not be true for Datang hundreds of years from now."

"I think that this idea still needs to keep pace with the times."

"It's always conservative, just like the group of people who are full of ideas, full of thoughts of the aristocratic class, too old-fashioned."

"It's too much of a drag on Datang's hind legs."

Listening to Li Qiu's words, Wu Juechu subconsciously felt that such remarks were outrageous and outrageous.

But as smart as she is, after hearing the meaning of Li Qiu's words, she didn't know how to refute for a while.

After all, what my husband said makes sense after careful consideration.

Then, her heart became lighter.
