Manna Hall
After everyone left, Li Shimin left Li Chengqian behind.
"Gao Ming, what do you think of what just happened?" Li Shimin asked.
"Father, do you mean the alliance of envoys from various countries? Or something else?" Li Chengqian asked.
"Those people just now are basically the pillars of the country. I want to hear what you think of them." Li Shimin said.
Li Chengqian understood that Li Shimin was testing him, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "The ministers sitting here just now have known about it before, and they are all heroes of my Tang Dynasty. It's just that the ministers feel that the opinions of civil servants and generals It seems a bit big, and if things go on like this, it’s not a good thing.”
"Are you worried about civil and military disharmony?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Chengqian didn't see any expression on Li Shimin's face. He didn't know whether Li Shimin was satisfied with what he said, so he nodded nervously.
"Civil and military disharmony has existed since ancient times, do you know why?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Chengqian knew that Li Shimin wanted to teach him, so he said respectfully: "Please enlighten me, Father."
"It's because I don't need them to reconcile, so they will naturally not reconcile, do you understand?" Li Shimin said lightly.
Li Chengqian was puzzled: "Didn't Father often say that the Great Tang was able to unify the world by virtue of the unity of civil and military?"
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "That's fighting the world, which is different from sitting on the world. When fighting the world, if there is internal fighting, it will give others an opportunity to take advantage of it. Naturally, harmony is needed. If you sit on the world, the civil and military are still harmonious, and the emperor will become an emperor." It's a puppet."
"It's like corruption in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Why haven't those people been found out for so long? It's because they are united. If it weren't for this, someone would have reported them long ago. The emperor lives in the deep palace, and you can only listen to it if the courtiers are not at peace. to a different sound."
"Thank you Father Emperor Church, I understand." Li Chengqian said.
Li Shimin nodded and said: "As an emperor, the most important thing is to know people and make good use of them, and to control the balance. These two points seem to be very simple, but it is not easy to do. What do you think of Lin Xuan?"
"Zi Chu has good strategies and is very talented." Li Chengqian did not hesitate to praise Lin Xuan.
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Do you trust him?"
Li Chengqian wanted to say no, but he couldn't say it when he met Li Shimin's gaze.
Li Shimin didn't continue to ask, and said: "An emperor should never trust a person 100%. If Qin Shihuang didn't trust Zhao Gao and Li Si so much, perhaps the Qin Dynasty would not have died in the second generation."
Li Chengqian was a little unconvinced, Zhao Gao and Li Si were treacherous ministers, but Lin Xuan was not.
Li Shimin seemed to have seen Li Chengqian's thoughts, and said indifferently: "Do you think that if you were the emperor, you would not reuse treacherous ministers like those foolish emperors in history?"
Without waiting for Li Chengqian to answer, Li Shimin said to himself: "Now we look at those traitors and loyal ministers from the perspective of history. If you put yourself in the same place, you can tell the loyalty from the traitor? No matter whether it is a wise king or a foolish one, he doesn't think about himself. If someone tells him that if he does what I say, the country will perish, do you think those emperors will still use those treacherous ministers? On the surface, the suggestions made by treacherous ministers to the emperor are all for the emperor's good, at least From the eyes of the emperor at that time, that's why he trusted treacherous ministers so much."
"I'm telling you this to let you understand that no matter how loyal a person is, don't trust him 100%. This is very dangerous for a country, understand?" Li Shimin said.
"I understand." Li Chengqian said.
"Your Majesty, the empress is asking to see you." Li Mu walked in and said.
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Go back first."
He has already said what should be said. Many things cannot be understood by just talking about them. You have to understand them slowly by yourself.
"My son will leave." Li Chengqian said, cupping his hands.
Not long after Li Chengqian left, Empress Changsun walked in.
"My concubine sees Your Majesty."
Li Shimin waved his hand and asked, "How about the auxiliary machine?"
"The imperial doctor said that the shortness of breath caused the heart to vomit blood and hurt the lungs. It needs to rest for a while." Empress Changsun said.
Li Shimin frowned slightly, he didn't expect it to be so serious.
"You have to send more of the precious medicinal materials in the palace." Li Shimin rubbed his head and said.
He has promised Lin Xuan that if he can solve the matter of the alliance of envoys from various countries, he will not be punished.
Changsun Wuji was so angry that if he didn't give him an explanation, he might have a big opinion.
"Guanyin servant girl, what do you think should be done with Lin Xuan?" Li Shimin asked with a headache.
"Your Majesty, my concubine wants to wait for my brother to recuperate for a few days, and take Lin Xuan to make amends for him."
She also had a headache about how to deal with Lin Xuan.
Seriously speaking, it's just a quarrel between the two, and it's not a big deal.
If Lin Xuan is punished severely, I'm afraid others will think too much.
If it is not punished, it is not appropriate.
She originally wanted to hear Li Shimin's thoughts, but Li Shimin still threw this difficult problem to him.
"Just do as you say." Li Shimin said.
For now, this is the best way.
Anyway, he just promised Lin Xuan not to punish him, but he didn't say he wouldn't make amends.
……
"Father, what's wrong with you?" Changsun Chong asked anxiously as he watched Changsun Wuji being carried back.
Changsun Wuji waved his hand, but said nothing.
Chang Sun Chong hurriedly commanded the servants at home, took the stretcher from the imperial guards, asked the housekeeper to give these imperial guards some rewards, and followed them in.
Changsun Wuji was carried to the room and said: "Let me down."
The servants hurriedly put down the stretcher, and Changsun Wuji stood up straight away.
Chang Sun Chong was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Father, what are you doing, it's a pity that my boy was nervous for a long time just now."
"Your father and I were almost pissed off by that kid Lin Xuan, you unfilial son, what's wrong with worrying?" Changsun Wuji sat down with a cold face.
"Father, what's going on?" Chang Sun Chong asked.
Changsun Wuji told Changsun Chong about being spit out blood by Lin Xuan.
Chang Sun Chong said with a ferocious expression: "Lin Xuan is just the son of a businessman. If he hadn't had shit luck, he would be a low-slaughter businessman. How dare you humiliate father like this, let's see if I don't kill him."
Changsun Wuji scolded: "How do you kill him? Let you use your brain more often, and know how to kill when you encounter problems. Can killing solve the problem?"
"Father, what do you think we should do?" Chang Sun Chong asked.
Changsun Wuji said: "The old man asked the imperial doctor to say that the old man's condition is very serious. You tell the servants at home not to go out and talk nonsense. Also tell those rebellious sons to stay at home honestly these days. If you dare to go out, the old man will break his leg."
He pretended that his life was not long, if his son still went out to have fun every day, a fool would know there was something wrong.
Changsun Chong was a little unhappy, and he was naturally among the people Changsun Wuji mentioned.
"Father, this matter, is it possible to forget it like this?" Chang Sun Chong said.
Changsun Wuji sneered and said: "Forget it? How is it possible? Send someone to tell the Fusang envoy that the old man has been vomited blood by Lin Xuan in order to speak for them. Now that he is sick in bed, he can't help them. Let them ask for blessings." "
Now he has figured out Lin Xuan's intentions.
I have to say that Lin Xuan had a good idea. He wanted to tell the Fusang people directly so that they could prepare in advance.
The so-called head start is useless if the other party launches an attack in advance.
After some hesitation, Changsun Wuji gave up.
If this matter is leaked, Li Shimin will be the most angry. Once it is found out, it will be a big trouble.
