Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 1023 The Deserted New Year's Eve

Li Shimin agreed with Liu Mu's statement.

Li Shimin also understood that if he didn't want to use the airship, the airship would definitely be continuously researched, perfected, and improved in various technologies, and it would not be built until five years or even longer.

But now it has been created, and it is placed there, which is enough to deter Xiaoxiao.

The two were chatting, but they saw Baoqin coming out of the inner courtyard, walked up to Li Shimin and bowed, and then said softly: "Sage, the queen suggests that the saint and my husband go to Wenyue Pavilion, or the queen wants to go to Wutongfang. "

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, thinking that his queen would not accompany him to celebrate the new year.

Liu Mu asked, "Who else?"

"There are more than 20 wives of the state and dozens of wives of the county..."

Liu Mu understood, and immediately said: "Okay, you go to Wutongfang, our small place is not enough for you to toss about. If you go to Wutongfang, you can make a lot of trouble, and I will make up [-] yuan for you."

Baoqin didn't dare to agree immediately, the Emperor Tang was still here.

Li Shimin also came to his senses, and immediately said: "I will make up [-] guan, just to have a good time during the New Year."

"Thank you sage, thank you sir." After hugging the piano and saluting, he ran away cheerfully.

In the backyard of Liumu's mansion, the eldest grandson Wugou, Dugu Lanruo and other noble ladies are actually preparing to go out. Although the original prince's mansion is not small, it is in the imperial city, and some low-level noble ladies are not eligible to enter the imperial city for the New Year.

On the contrary, Wutongfang is bigger and has more fun.

In the blink of an eye, there was not even a single person in the Liu Mansion. Dugu Lanruo gave the guards a holiday, so that they could go to the palace to participate in the New Year's Eve celebration except for the guards. The maids wanted to go to Wutongfang or the palace. Yes, everyone sent a lot of coins for them to have a good time.

"Second brother, your sister-in-law is half of the credit for your world."

Li Shimin nodded: "That's right, the battle is imminent, although it is a battle that must be won. Only by stabilizing people's hearts, boosting morale, and making the rear all united, can the front line fight with all its strength."

Liu Mu asked again: "Second Brother, is it time for the Five Capitals Plan?"

A gleam of joy appeared on Li Shimin's face: "Here, I will use the lives of [-] Goguryeo slaves to build the railway from Chang'an to Sichuan in the Tang Dynasty, and change Bashu to the accompanying capital. Luoyang's structure is too small. Zhengzhou and Luoyang are very good as Jingzhao's food capital."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, his face became more joyful: "Tonight, the second brother will cook and roast the whole lamb himself."

"Then the younger brother is going to prepare the firewood."

"I want pine branches." Li Shimin has very high requirements for roasted sheep, even firewood.

There was snowflakes in the sky, Li Shimin and Liu Mu were not sitting in the house, they were sitting in the garden, roasting sheep, drinking wine, chatting so easily, there was no one within a hundred steps of the two of them, there were secret guards Also keep around the imperial city.

"In the third year of Wude, there was heavy snowfall in Jingzhao, and 670 people froze to death, all of whom were old, weak, women and children. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it was bitter, the court was bitter, and the people were even more bitter. I swore in that year that if I had the opportunity to ascend the throne in this life As an emperor, he will make sure that the people of the Tang Dynasty have no worries about food and clothing throughout his life."

Liu Mu could see clearly that Li Shimin was in tears.

"Full drink!" Li Shimin wanted to get drunk, not because of worry, but because of happiness.

He has already received reports that in the four hundred miles around Chang'an, there is not a single household without charcoal, food, or clothing in winter.

He is happy, and he wants to have a few drinks happily.

"Second brother, there are seven emperors in history who were once known as one emperor through the ages."

"Are you a brother?" Li Shimin cared about this title.

Liu Mu said: "Speaking from the back to the front, Man Qing called Kang Xiaomazi the emperor of the ages, I said... Bah!"

Hahaha!
Li Shimin laughed loudly, he likes Liu Mu's tone, he has heard Liu Mu talk about history, and Li Shimin doesn't approve of this emperor, he didn't reach the peak of the late Ming Dynasty, a country where everyone wears silk barely supported by sweet potatoes A land that is only large in size.But there is no civilization at all, and there is no domineering power of a great country.

Too weak, weak in heart.

"There is another one, Genghis Khan. According to historical records of the Mongolian people, only two men and two women survived the beating of the Turks. After escaping, they slowly multiplied. This is a very powerful military strategist. He fought south and north If you just fight and don’t care about it, the achievement is the largest territory in the world. However, he is a legendary commander, and one emperor through the ages is not suitable."

"En." Li Shimin nodded.

Those who are emperors must be strong in battle and people's livelihood.

"Song Zu, in fact, almost. The Song Dynasty suppressed military officials excessively. Although the culture, technology, and wealth are very strong, they let the surrounding states suppress and fight."

"There are a few more, the second brother knows, Qinhuang Hanwu and the second brother."

Li Shimin took a sip of his wine and said slowly: "In this way, the eternal emperor should be unique. The second brother dare not compare with the two sages, and the Tang emperor should be the eternal emperor."

"Second brother is right. In the history of later generations, the Europeans identified me as Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty."

Li Shimin was stunned, he never expected that it was Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.

But thinking about it again, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty could afford it.

"That's right, Uncle Cousin deserves this title. After my second brother has learned a lot from you, he understands the greatness of Uncle Cousin, especially the imperial examination system. Although you said that the imperial examination system will have many disadvantages after a thousand years, but now But it's a great creation."

"Yes, when it comes to the imperial examination, we, Datang, can revise it, and then...

Tang Emperor Li Shimin and Liu Mu discussed the emperor, the world, and the pattern in the garden.

Just outside the palace, in front of Suzaku's gate.

An old man with crutches and lost a hand, a leg, an eye and an ear walked tremblingly to the Suzaku gate, and then took out a silver ingot from his pocket and put it on the ground in front of the city gate.

The guard guarding the city gate walked over quickly and saw that the silver ingot was a little unclear.

"Old man, what does this mean?"

"The little old man still has one eye and one ear. The little old man has not yet reached the point of being confused. The atmosphere in Chang'an City this winter is not right. The little old man has visited many old men." No matter how much he said, Bo Tong knelt down and kowtowed heavily to the imperial city, and shouted with all his strength: "God bless Tang..."

Many people who were still watching also came over.

Some put down a few silver ingots, some put down gold ingots, some brought a whole box of silver bars, and some put down a large bag of copper coins.

When the city guards reported up layer by layer, and when some generals arrived, a pile of money one foot high had already been piled up outside the Suzaku Gate. From the other three directions, the common people lined up like ants moving house. The long dragon, as well as the workshop owner and wealthy businessman driving a carriage and pulling several cash boxes.

"Stop it all, stop it all."
