Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 499 The New Era of the Tang Dynasty and the New Monarch [Part [-]]

Time flies to September, and there is no war in the Tang Dynasty.In the northern grasslands, it is very hot these days.Yi Nan has already sent three groups of people to ask Li Zhiyun to send troops to help him and destroy Xieli.

However, Li Zhiyun rejected Yi Nan's request on the grounds that the saint's body is not hesitant and it is not appropriate to fight rashly.

From Yi Nan's point of view, these words are naturally excuses, and even Yi Nan once felt that Li Tang was waiting for him and Jie Li to lose both sides in the fight before making a move.Even though he guessed like this, Yi Nan had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue fighting Xieli.

Because, he has no way out.

Although the grassland is vast, there is no place for traitors.

Sitting and watching Xue Yantuo and the Turks killing each other was what Li Zhiyun wanted to see, and it was also what the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty wanted to see, so the Tang Dynasty had no reason to send troops.

What's more, what Li Zhiyun said, that the sages of the Tang Dynasty were not in good health, was not just rhetoric.

Because Li Yuan was indeed on his deathbed.

Since entering September, Li Yuan has been unable to eat, and even does not want to drink water.

Not eating or drinking, what this means is self-evident.

dorm.

Li Zhiyun has been by Li Yuan's side for six consecutive days and nights.

As for Li Yuan, he has reached the end of his life.

He also seemed to know that he was about to die, so he ordered Li Zhiyun to accompany him.

At this moment, only Li Yuan and Li Zhiyun father and son are left in the hall.

"Prince, how many years has Wude been?" Li Yuan had already forgotten when he became like this.

"Back to Yeye, it's September in the eighth year of Wude."

"Eight years." Li Yuan recalled: "It's so fast, it's been eight years in the blink of an eye. Looking back, Yang Guang went against the law and forced me to rebel. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, until now, unspeakable events have happened one after another. Few things. Unknowingly, I have been sick on the bed for more than two years, how fast."

In the last years of the great cause, all the events of his rebellion from Jinyang, recalled now, seem to have happened yesterday.

"By the way, prince, how is Turkic?"

If there is anything he is worried about, Turks must be one of them.

Li Zhiyun said earnestly: "Father, don't worry. The Xue Yantuo tribe of the Turks has already betrayed Jieli to stand on their own. The sons and ministers sent people to canonize the Yinan as Khan, which has already divided them. Now Xue Yantuo and the Turks are fighting on the grassland. In the future, it will be inevitable. One died and one was wounded. My court has been recuperating since the sixth year of Wude. It has been two years since now. The granary is gradually full, the weapons and armor are complete, and the generals of the three armies practice day and night. Raise my Tang Dynasty's national prestige!"

"Okay!" Li Yuan growled vigorously, "You did a good job. Although Erlang's death was caused by Dalang and the others, Jieli is also the murderer. You must not let him go!"

Maybe it was because he was about to die, Li Yuan let go of the hatred in his heart, and called Li Jian Da Lang again.

"Yes." Li Zhiyun agreed to him.

Li Yuandao: "The northern grassland has been the great enemy of all dynasties. In the former Han and later Han, the Huns, Xianbei, and Wuhuan were disasters. Later, the world was divided, and Rouran rose again. By the former Sui Dynasty, the Turks had already become the climate.

If you become the throne in the future, if you can defeat the Turks, you must find a way to completely eradicate the scourge in the north, otherwise, your children and grandchildren will be threatened by them in the future.

I'm sorry for you, these things should have been done by me.But now it's up to you to do it.Turks, I should solve it.The aristocratic family should also be resolved by me.It's a pity that God didn't give me Li Yuan a chance.

Be careful, son, be careful! "

Li Yuan looked at Li Zhiyun earnestly.

Li Yuan is not particularly worried about the Turkic disaster, as long as the prince can stabilize and develop slowly, and wait for the opportunity, the Turkic will not be able to make any troubles.

What he was really worried about was that Li Zhiyun was too impatient with the aristocratic family, so that he would repeat Yang Guangzhi's old story.

Originally, it was most appropriate for him, the founding emperor, to weaken the family.But he didn't have this chance anymore, he didn't know if Li Zhiyun could deal with those old foxes.

If Li Zhiyun couldn't deal with it, he didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Li Zhiyun understood Li Yuan's meaning, and said: "Please rest assured, Father, I understand your painstaking efforts."

"You don't understand." Li Yuan said: "Since the later Han Dynasty, there have been many aristocratic families, and the rise and fall of so many dynasties were all controlled by the aristocratic families behind the scenes. The five surnames and seven Wangs in this world are just the best. In all parts of the world, these aristocratic families There are too many to count.

Afterwards, the mutiny in Wuchuan Town led to the rise of the Guanlong family, which single-handedly dominated the rise and fall of the Yuan Wei, Yuwen Zhou, Yang Sui, and the three dynasties.

Now, they have chosen me, Mrs. Li.

In the past, in order to get rid of the Guanlong family, Yang Guang moved the capital, built the Grand Canal, and conquered Koguryo.

But he failed.

My son, you must remember that you must not be hasty in dealing with the family.

To endure the unbearable! "

Li Zhiyun nodded heavily, "My child understands that although the aristocratic family is like a pain in the viscera, if you want to eradicate it, you must take it slowly. If you act too hastily, it will cause their fierce resistance. Yang Guang's defeat must always be kept in mind."

Li Yuan nodded, "It's good if you think so. Remember, you don't have to do it yourself to deal with the family. You can lead the family to be hostile to each other, such as the Guanlong family and the Shandong family, or the Jiangzuo family. But remember, to do this, there must be no harm from outside. If you want to clean up the imperial court when you ascend the throne in the future, you must solve the Turks before you can start."

"Yes." Li Zhiyun said with tears in his eyes, "Father, please stop talking and have a good rest."

"No." Li Yuan refused: "I'm running out of time. Listen, the aristocratic family needs to be resolved, the Turks have to be resolved, and even Goguryeo, you have to find a way to do it. However, these three cannot be done at the same time. Now the Turks make my Tang Dynasty feel like a thorn in my throat, you have to give in to the aristocratic family, endure them, cooperate with the courtiers, unify the internal and external, and destroy the Turks first.

After that, he recuperated, rested with the people, and cleared the influence of the aristocratic family in the court.If you can do this step well, the rest is to play Goguryeo, but you can take it slowly, don't be impatient.

In addition, if the time comes, you must move your capital to leave Chang'an in the future.In this pass, the Guanlong family has been operating for a hundred years, and it is dangerous.As for where to move the capital, it depends on your own wishes.My father thought that Luoyang in Henan Province and Taiyuan in Bingzhou could be capital cities.

Remember, no matter where you move your capital in the future, you must not let the aristocratic family restrain you. "

Li Zhiyun pursed his lips and nodded heavily.

Hearing what Lao Li said today, Li Zhiyun realized that Li Yuan was an emperor who was despised by everyone.

Thinking about it, Li Yuan, as the founder of the country, would be really useless.

Li Yuan went on to say: "Governing the country depends first on the people. You have to remember that no matter what the time is, you must not persecute the people too much, otherwise disasters will happen. The most important thing for the people is the fields, food and clothing.

If the people are not chaotic, the world is not chaotic.

As long as the people have enough food, clothing and warmth, and have land to cultivate, they will not oppose the Tang Dynasty.You must not use the power of the people to deal with the family.As long as you can stabilize the people, no one can threaten you.In addition, as the emperor, he must always hold military power in his hands.No military power, no way! "

Li Zhiyun said: "Your servant will keep it in mind."

Li Yuan stretched out his hand to hold Li Zhiyun's palm, and said, "You are young, have many ideas, and have a quick temper. My father knows these things. But you have to remember that fighting against the aristocratic family is not something that happens overnight, you have to take it slowly."

The father and son talked a lot about how to deal with the Turks, how to weaken the aristocratic family, how to govern the country, how to develop, how to open up the Western Regions, how to promote poor families and so on.Li Yuan told Prince Li Zhiyun all he knew, all his thoughts and suggestions.

He already had a premonition that he was at his last dying moment.He had to tell his son everything while he was still alive.

No matter what happened to Datang in the future, at least, he did his best.

He hopes that his son can pass on this family and country foundation.
