Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

There are more updates tonight, please be patient!The third child left a message!

After leaving Liangyi Hall, Li Ke went to Qianqiu Hall, greeted Concubine Yang, told two stories to Li, Li Rong and Li Jing, and hurried out of the palace.

The frame was speeding on Zhuque Street in Chang'an City, and stopped at the gate of Hanwang Mansion in less than a moment. Li Ke got off the frame in a hurry, walked into Hanwang Mansion and returned to his study room, and quickly opened the The Analects of Confucius on the desk.

Li Shimin asked him to read "The Analects of Confucius? Zilu Pian", saying that he could find what he wanted to say to himself in it. Therefore, Li Ke didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly turned to the Zilu Pian, and began to study it carefully and in detail.

Normally, it would take him an hour to read the Zilu Pian, but today he read it for nearly two hours before putting the book on his desk. Thinking about the main content of "The Analects of Confucius Zilu Pian", he felt that the whole article mainly discussed It is Confucius' answer to the questions asked by his disciples and others about politics, people, and economics.It is really difficult to find what Li Shimin wants to say to himself from inside, but it is also very simple.The difficulty is that no sentence in the whole article can be simply understood as Li Shimin's warning to himself, simply because any paragraph in the whole article can be understood as Li Shimin's advice and reminder to himself.

However, even so, after Li Ke's hard thinking, he finally noticed these two sentences, which are about politics and personal cultivation: "Zi said: Recite three hundred poems, teach them politics, and fail to achieve success; Can’t be right. Although there are many, do you think it? Zi said: If his body is upright, he will follow his orders; if his body is not upright, he will not follow his orders.” Years, you can also be a soldier."

If you understand it literally, there is nothing special about these two sentences, they are all about the way of governing and defending the country. It is really difficult to understand the meaning of what Li Shimin wants to say to himself.However, Li Ke suddenly thought of another sentence Li Shimin told him, "I know you have your own unique insights into "The Analects of Confucius." This sentence made Li Ke realize that Li Shimin's real purpose was not to let him read "The Analects of Confucius? Zilu" Chapter" to understand my own views on his actions and performance, but want to tell myself a truth through a certain sentence in it.

That's why Li Ke noticed the above two sentences about "politics and personal cultivation" and "the final summary of the whole article".

And what Li Ke understood from the first sentence is that what Li Shimin wants to tell him is that the way to govern is to be impartial, and you can't look at the people you have to face with inherent prejudice, but use your own personal feelings to understand. I understand; what Li Shimin realized in the second sentence is that if you want to make Datang strong, you only need to enrich your military equipment and be good at using talented people, and you can do it in decades. To make the Tang Dynasty prosperous for a century, it still needs to be achieved through continuous economic accumulation and cultural precipitation.

After figuring out these two points, Li Ke also understood Li Shimin's views on the issue of Goryeo and Fusang envoys. He hoped that he would not look at the actions of these two countries with inherent prejudices, that is, he was criticizing himself. He didn't judge the public with personal interests, saying that because of the old grievances between Goryeo and the Sui Dynasty, he didn't have a correct view of the true meaning of the exchanges between the two countries.Another thing he wants to warn himself is not to rush to use a powerful army to threaten and intimidate the enemy in order to achieve the goal of conquest. To really conquer a country from the bottom of your heart, you need economic and cultural means, not blindly barbaric by force.

Indeed, Li Ke can't help but admire Li Shimin's vision and courage, as well as his pair of eyes that can see through everything.He saw through that he was looking at Korea's border trade issue with old grievances, and at the same time warned himself that it is a bad idea to use powerful weapons to conquer a country. It can only be conquered for more than ten years or even decades. If you control the method, you can conquer a country for a long time.

Li Ke was ashamed, today he really experienced Li Shimin, the Khan of Heaven, who is known as the No.1 emperor of China.He made a country have the air of arrogance, he made a nation have a lofty international status and brilliant economic and cultural achievements, and he made countries all over the world come to conduct trade and cultural exchanges. .The strong national power and open and inclusive attitude he forged made a nation win unprecedented respect from foreign nations.This kind of wisdom, courage and tolerance can definitely shake the past and the present.

After figuring out and understanding what Li Shimin wanted to tell him, Li Ke felt much more relaxed. After dinner, he couldn't help asking Yang En to play two games in the study before resting and sleeping.

Early the next morning, Li Ke ordered Chen Qi to arrange guards after breakfast. He wanted to go shopping in the east and west cities of Chang'an City, and Chen Qi quickly retreated to get ready.In this way, time passed quickly, Li Ke felt very relaxed, and Li Ke spent the next five days on the streets of Chang'an City like this.

During this period, Li Ke also visited Hou Ruoyi twice in the Hou Mansion, but was blocked by the family members of the Hou Mansion twice. They told Li Ke that his master Hou Junji was not at the mansion, and Miss Hou Ruoyi was unwell and couldn't see the guests, and Li Ke himself was embarrassed to forcefully rush into the Hou's mansion again and again, so he could only sigh in his heart and wait for Ruoyi's decisiveness, so he had to give up.Even so, Li Ke still carefully wrote a picture, and he asked the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion to hand it over to Hou Ruoyi, and asked him to hand it over to Hou Ruoyi.However, the results obtained twice were also beyond Li Ke's expectations, that is, Hou Ruoyi refused to accept his words.

Although Hou Ruoyi refused to see him twice, Li Ke did not show too much sadness. Of course, there must be anger, but he covered it up very well.He vaguely guessed that there must be Li Chengqian's shadow behind Hou Ruoyi's refusal to see him. Therefore, he knew that it was not like being in his study at the gate of the Hou's mansion. There is a share of the move.

The reason why Li Ke speculated that Hou Ruoyi's refusal to meet Li Chengqian was because the information Zhu Tong reported to him that night included the fact that Li Chengqian had been to the Hou's mansion that day.This was the reason why Li Ke was angry after hearing Zhu Tong's report. Otherwise, with his state of mind, it would be difficult for others to use other methods to make him lose his mind in anger.

Therefore, half of the five days, Li Ke was thinking about how to get rid of the shackles on Hou Ruoyi.At the same time, he also felt ashamed of his silence when facing this matter, and felt naive and ridiculous for his idea of ​​letting Li Shimin stand up for him in this matter. He thought that he should argue with Li Chengqian at the beginning, but Not using the phone is cowardly and wants to solve the problem by Li Shimin's means.

After more than half a year of tempering, he no longer believes that external forces can help him. He only thinks about himself and only believes that his own power can solve his own problems.
