Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1510 Sudden thoughts

Smart people tend to live longer.

If a smart person knows the current affairs and knows how to make trade-offs, then he may live a little longer.

Changsun Shunde must be regarded as a smart person to be able to sit in such a position today.

And he just knows how to choose.

So he lived a long time.

After returning, Changsun Shunde sent a memorial to the palace. There was not much written in the memorial, that is, his resignation.

After Li Shimin got the memorial, he didn't agree immediately, but redeemed a sentence or two.

But immediately afterwards, Changsun Shunde sent a second resignation memorial.

Obviously, Li Shimin wanted to act, he didn't want people to think that he was that kind of ruthless emperor, so his eldest grandson, Shunde, had no choice but to continue acting with him.

After the second memorial arrived at the palace, Li Shimin sighed and agreed.

The news of Changsun Shunde's resignation quickly spread in Chang'an City.

Although Li Shimin didn't punish Changsun Shunde in plain language, everyone probably knows exactly what happened to Changsun Shunde's resignation.

It must be the elder Sun Shunde's greed for money that made him have to resign, right?

Therefore, although there is no explicit punishment, everyone's reputation for Changsun Shunde is still not very good.

As for the matter of eldest grandson Jiaqing and Princess Danyang, no one mentioned it anymore.

Based on the situation of eldest grandson Shunde, is he worthy to marry Princess Danyang?

Li Shimin didn't say anything here, after all, the elder Sun Shunde did such a thing, which made people a little disappointed.

What's more, after such an investigation, Li Shimin discovered that the eldest grandson Jiaqing also had the habit of greedy for ink, so how could he let Princess Danyang marry him again?
He didn't even sit in the eldest grandson's family, and he already gave the eldest grandson's family a lot of face.

Qin Mansion.

After hearing the news, Princess Nine was overjoyed at first, and then frowned.

She was happy that after the eldest sun Shunde resigned, Princess Danyang would not have to marry the eldest sun Jiaqing, but she frowned because he suddenly realized something.

Qin Tian was reading in the study. In this summer, reading can make people calm.

The more he reached Qin Tian's state, the more he liked to read those obscure books, such as Chunqiu Zuozhuan, Shiji poetry anthology, he read them all.

It is more interesting than reading those novels and legends before.

Perhaps, he has passed the age of curiosity.

While Qin Tian was reading a book in the study, Princess Jiu opened the door and walked in.

After Qin Tian saw the ninth princess, he didn't show anything, he just smiled and said, "Why is your highness here?"

The Ninth Princess's expression was rather dignified, and she asked, "Are you behind the impeachment of Changsun Shunde?"

Hearing the question from Princess Jiu, Qin Tian didn't hide it, and said, "That's right, it was indeed arranged by me."

Seeing that Qin Tian admitted, the face of the nine princesses became more and more ugly. It is true that Qin Tian did this to help Danyang, but Qin Tian also concealed some things from her.

'You can impeach Eldest Sun Shunde in this way, your power in the court is really good enough. '

All the while, she felt that Qin Tian was a very upright official in the court, he didn't attach himself to anyone, and he didn't form cliques to form a force in the court.

She could impeach grandson Shunde and succeed in one fell swoop, but she really didn't believe that Qin Tian didn't have his own influence.

The key problem is that she didn't notice it at all before.

In this way, she had to doubt Qin Tian's intentions.

As the princess of Datang, even if he married Qin Tian, ​​from the bottom of his heart, he still defended Datang.

Qin Tian was still not nervous, just smiled: "I can't talk about influence, it's just that some people are willing to help me with this favor. People are floating in the court, and it's not enough to have few people to help. Your voice is not loud enough, and you don't have enough momentum. I can only be yelled at and bullied by other people, Her Royal Highness doesn't want me to go to the court, and I am always being impeached and bullied, right?"

Ninth Princess's expression moved slightly, and said: "Then let me ask you, do you have the intention of treason?"

"The emperor treats me well. Why do I have the heart to rebel? Other vassal kings can't do it with so many soldiers and horses. How can I do it? It makes me very sad that Your Highness the Princess questioned me. It's not heart-to-heart."

As he said that, Qin Tian actually made a heartbroken expression. The Ninth Princess took a look, and felt distressed immediately. She couldn't help but walked over and hugged Qin Tian's head, letting Qin Tian's head stick to his. On the belly, Qin Tian was sitting while she was standing.

After Qin Tian hugged the ninth princess' waist, his hands and feet became a little dishonest, and he couldn't help climbing up the rock, holding two peaks.

The Ninth Princess exhorted lightly, and immediately fell.

The weather in Chang'an City was hot and dry. After the Ninth Princess left, Qin Tian couldn't help but think about the question that the Ninth Princess asked. Does he have the intention of treason?

To be honest, Qin Tian didn't have any intention of rebellion. What's good about being an emperor, let alone being busy, he didn't have much freedom. He didn't like to stay in that palace all his life, and he had endless things to do every day.

But he does not rebel, and he also hopes that no one can harm him, that political enemies in the court and China will not kill him, and that Li Shimin will not target him, plot against him, or even try to kill him.

If someone wanted to harm him, he had no choice but to find a way to protect himself in order to survive.

Layout across the country is a kind of self-protection, and cultivating party members in the court is also a kind of self-protection.

Of course, he also knows that these two methods of self-protection are not absolutely foolproof, but now he can't think of a better way, so he can only take one step at a time.

Sometimes it is not good for people to be too shrewd and show their sharpness, and sometimes, they need to hide their clumsiness.

When Qin Tian was thinking about this in the mansion, Li Shimin didn't know whether it was because the weather was too hot, or because there were too many things going on in the court recently, he couldn't help but feel agitated.

Maybe just like the reasons why Qin Tian didn't want to be the emperor, after living in the deep palace for a long time, Li Shimin was actually a little tired of this life without freedom.

But as the emperor, he has to take care of everything in the world. What can he do, when he has free time?

At that moment, after listening to the non-stop chirping of cicadas outside the window, Li Shimin suddenly had an impulse, an impulse to abandon everything in front of him and go outside Chang'an City to have a good time of freedom.

In other words, he wanted to go out of the palace, and wanted to visit in private.

And once this idea appeared, it was like a flood breaking a bank, and it was out of control. Li Shimin looked at a cicada on a number outside the window, and suddenly smiled knowingly.

"If the Son of Heaven doesn't even have freedom, it would be too boring. This world belongs to me, Li Shimin, so where can I, Li Shimin, go?"

In the scorching summer, Li Shimin decided to leave the palace.
