Tang Dynasty: What! My mother is actually Empress Zhangsun

"Forehead..."

Li Chengqian thought for a moment before he slowly said,"I think the Turks looted Longxi just to get cattle, sheep and food."

"As long as they are satisfied, why would they risk their lives to break through the pass and head south?"

"I think it would be better to take some money and grain from the rich lands and give it to the Turks."

"First, it can show the power of the Tang Dynasty, and second, it can appease the Turks."

After answering, Li Chengqian thought about it again and felt that there was nothing wrong. Only then did he have the courage to raise his head and look at Li Shimin.

His words were traceable.

However, when he saw Li Er's eyes, he was immediately trembling.

"Is this your answer?"

Li Er's face was dark, and his anger level rose to the limit!

If he hadn't been eating, he would have wanted to pull out his belt and hit this guy hard.

I found a famous teacher to give you extra lessons, but this is what he taught you?

Seeing Li Shimin's gloomy face, Li Chengqian's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Forehead..."

"Son...I think this method is very safe."

"Think about it again!"

Li Shimin put down his wine glass, and his words revealed a hint of displeasure.

Seeing that his old father was about to get angry, Li Chengqian's hands were shaking a little with chopsticks.

He wiped the cold sweat, then frowned and thought carefully about the answer.

This is not because he is incompetent, his answer just now also has traces.

In the ninth year of Wude, after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the Turks broke through the pass and went south, and once approached the capital Chang'an.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty was in a turbulent period, and the situation was ten thousand times more dangerous than today.

But his father only led six cavalrymen to fight against the Turks on the banks of the Wei River. The Turks confronted the Tang Dynasty with an army of 200,000.

They also promised many benefits and signed the so-called Weishui Alliance with Jie Li, which resolved the crisis.

Today, the Turks only rob the border residents from time to time and have not endangered the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

Compared with the crisis of that year, the harm posed by the Turks now is just scratching the surface.

This method worked in the extremely critical situation back then.

Is there any problem with using it again today? Li Chengqian couldn't figure out what his father was thinking for a moment.

It's not that he is too stupid, but he ignored the premise.

To replicate successful experiences, we must first look at the prerequisites.

The methods of the past are definitely inappropriate for today.

In the past, after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin came to power, and the most important thing for the Tang Dynasty was to stabilize the country.

At that time, the Turks went south, and if they were not careful, they would overthrow the Tang Dynasty.

Compared with the country, gold, silver and silk are nothing but external things.

But today, the Tang Dynasty is becoming increasingly powerful, and Li Shimin urgently needs a political achievement to demonstrate his reputation.

The greatest achievement is to expand the territory.

No emperor can refuse to open up new territories.

The merit of expanding the territory.

No matter how many mistakes you have made before, no matter how foolish you are.

As long as you can wipe out the alien races and expand the territory, you will definitely be called a wise monarch and a holy ruler in the history books.

Even an emperor cannot refuse such an honor!

If this battle defeats the Turks, then the previous shame will be washed away, and the legitimacy of his succession to the throne will be recognized by the people of the world!

Li Chengqian racked his brains, but he did not take his father's ideas into consideration.

Seeing Li Chengqian's constipated appearance, Li Er also shook his head with some disappointment.

"Well, these may be too difficult for you."

"Son...I have failed my father's expectations."

Li Chengqian said timidly.

"What books have you read recently?"Li Er had no choice but to ask

""The Master has recently been teaching the Book of Rites, the chapter on the King's System."

Li Chengqian replied.

The Book of Rites, the chapter on the King's System, records the system by which the ancient kings governed the world, including the systems of fiefdom, titles and salaries, official positions, sacrifices, funerals, tours, criminal law, elderly care, selection of officials, and school education.

"The emperor appointed his ministers as three supervisors to supervise the state of the prefects, with three people in each state."

Li Shimin looked at him and said slowly

"ah..."

Li Chengqian knew that this was a test of whether he was familiar with the contents of the Book of Rites, so he immediately answered:

"The emperor's internal princes are given salaries, while the external princes are his successors."

"But Nine Lives...Second country...Lord, but....Seventh Life, the King of a Small Country......"

As he spoke, he began to stumble.

Li Chengqian's head was about to go under the table. He could almost feel his father's sharp eyes scraping across him.

"You can't recite the chapter on the kingly system with such a lot of trouble. It shows how little effort you put into your daily life!"

Li Shimin slammed the table and shouted angrily,

"Your Majesty, calm down.

Empress Changsun also said hurriedly.

"Father, I am guilty. I have made you angry."

"Please take your health into consideration. I will study hard and not make you angry again."

""Get out of here!"

Li Shimin put down his chopsticks, lost his appetite, and turned his face towards Li Chengqian.

"I'll take my leave!"

Li Chengqian ran away without even turning his head.

"He is neither good at civil affairs nor military affairs. How can I feel at ease handing over the country to him in the future?"

Li Shimin picked up the wine glass and took a big gulp of the wine, which wiped out the depression in his heart.

Empress Zhangsun also hurriedly comforted him,"Your Majesty is in good health. It is too early to talk about this now.""

""Qian'er is still young, and you just need to assist us in the future. Why is Your Majesty so angry?"

Li Shimin sighed depressedly, put down his chopsticks, got up and left.

All the way back to the Purple Palace, looking at the empty hall, Li Shimin was a little dazed.

He stayed alone for a while before he said,"Someone come!"

"Your Majesty!"

Li Junxian walked slowly in from outside the palace and knelt down respectfully.

"Go see what the prince is doing after returning to the palace"

"Obey the order!"

Li Junxian received the order and left for a while before returning.

"Reporting to His Majesty, the Crown Prince is having a meal, and there are palace maids dancing with him. His Royal Highness is laughing loudly and is very happy."

After hearing Li Junxian's report, Li Erlian was furious.

He was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand to pieces.

"This unfilial thing! He didn't look happy when dining with me, but he indulged himself like this behind closed doors!"

Li Junxian was too embarrassed to speak, he just lowered his head and waited quietly for His Majesty's orders.

After a while, Li Er spoke again:"Go, get the national teacher!"

National teacher, Yuan Tiangang!

This man is proficient in physiognomy, knows astronomy, geography, the past, and the future.

Whenever there is a major event, His Majesty will ask him to discuss, but on weekdays, it is extremely rare to see him.

Every time he moves, it must imply that something big is going to happen!

Li Junxian did not dare to delay and left the hall in a hurry.

After a while.

A handsome middle-aged man in a Taoist robe and with disheveled hair came to the hall

"" Your Majesty, I am here to see you!"

Li Er also sat up straight and pointed to the chair next to him and said,"No need to be polite, sit down!"

Yuan Tiangang bowed slightly and sat down below. Seeing Li Shimin's serious face, he slowly said,"It has been a long time since your Majesty summoned you. Today is a rare occasion."

Li Shimin went straight to the point and said,"I called you here today because I have something on my mind and I want to hear how you would answer it."

"Oh?"

Yuan Tiangang was surprised and asked,"What is it that Your Majesty can't figure out the answer to?"

Li Shimin said,"I have a son who was adopted by the King of Chu, but he died not long after."

"Now, a child has appeared, and all signs indicate that he is my child."

"What does the Imperial Master think of this matter?"

After hearing this, Yuan Tiangang's surprise disappeared, and he said calmly:"Your Majesty, you want to ask, is that child the prince who died young?"

Seeing that Li Shimin did not speak, Yuan Tiangang smiled and said:"Your Majesty, do not hesitate, I can give you the answer!"

"Oh?"

Li Erlong frowned and said,"Do you know about this?"

"That's right!"

Yuan Tiangang said:"Your Majesty, judging from the astrology, that person is the prince who died young!"......
