The army gathered outside the city and drilled every day. Their shouts made the people in the city smile.
"Now we are waiting to destroy the false emperor, and the Tang Dynasty will be in peace and prosperity."
Yue Er still runs his own stall. He was originally from Chang'an, and it didn't take long for him to become familiar with the surrounding vendors.
"The false emperor is not easy to destroy!" On the left is a needle and thread seller, which is very complementary to Yue Er's business. At that time, Yue Er was looking for a stall, and it was this dear friend who offered to help. He only spent fifty yuan and successfully redeemed the money.
This territory. "The road to Shu is difficult!"
Yue Sanshu went to study, and Yue Er could only set up a stall by himself. He was a little bored, so he chatted with these people.
"No matter how difficult the road to Shu is, can it still be difficult for the Northern Liao army? How many people said at the beginning that your Majesty's attack on the Northern Liao was self-destruction, but where is the Northern Liao now?"
Yue Er said confidently: "Wait a minute, I bet that your Majesty will conquer Shu within this year!"
"How about making a bet?" The needlework vendor is a big gambler. He even won thirty cents from his colleague a few days ago.
"Easy to say!" Yue Er was embarrassed at first and hesitated before nodding.
"By the way, there is also Western Xinjiang!" The needlework merchant felt that he was bound to win and was secretly proud.
"In Western Xinjiang, Duke Xing came to Chang'an to ask for surrender if he knew what he was interested in. If he didn't know what he was interested in... it would only be a matter of a slap from your Majesty." Yue Er said proudly.
"Haha!" The sewing merchant wanted to make another bet, but felt that it was unkind.
There are many stalls on both sides of the street, and it is very lively with people coming and going.
Two petty officials came to collect taxes. When they arrived at Yue Er's place, one of the petty officials complained, "There are too many hawkers, making the streets noisy."
"Some censors have advised us to clean up hawkers and not to set up stalls on the street." Another clerk said, "Guess what?"
"What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty actually takes care of such a trivial matter. Your Majesty said that you should make the street clean, preferably without even a single pedestrian. It looks clean and tidy, but what about the human smell? Where is the smoke from the fireworks?
Where did it go?"
Yue Er said with a smile: "No, I can actually afford a shop, but I just like this excitement."
The clerks gradually moved away, and the street became more and more lively.
Goods from the north, goods from the south, goods from all over the world are gathered here, countless merchants are shouting, countless customers are choosing...
The emperor stood not far away, watching this scene, and said to the prince beside him: "The Tang Dynasty is not just above the court, the real Tang Dynasty is here."
The prince looked at it seriously, "People?"
"Yes. If the people's life is getting better, then the Tang Dynasty's life will be better. So, you have to know why you are in power. Don't listen to the stupid words of those so-called learned people. There are one big truth after another, but think about it carefully.
I don’t know what I’m talking about. I don’t know what I’m talking about. The students are naturally confused. What is that? You are a fool!”
When the gentlemen in the palace teach the prince, they will naturally bring in some personal information. However, their views are particularly ridiculous in the eyes of the emperor.
"My father will go to war the day after tomorrow. You are in Chang'an..."
The emperor looked at the prince, "Liu Qing and others have assisted Zuo as his father for many years... But today I want to tell you what loyalty is. Loyalty is not something you are born with. Why should others be loyal to you? Just because you are the emperor.
?That's not the case. The so-called loyalty must mean that you can benefit them."
This is the way of kings and ministers, and it is also the art of emperors.
The prince listened carefully.
"For example, Liu Qing is loyal to his father because being a father can give him the opportunity to display his ambitions. For example, Luo Cai was not optimistic about the future of the Tang Dynasty and was worried, but his father allowed him to see the future of the Tang Dynasty.
At the end of the day...have you discovered the secret to this?"
The prince shook his head.
"It's the power of being a father!"
The emperor smiled and said: "My father has worked hard all the way from Taiping. He has powerful soldiers in his hands, and his civil and military skills have convinced them. Following my father, they can use what they have learned... These are the benefits."
"You must first become strong!" The prince understood.
"Yes, look at the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Nian Xu was kind to his ministers, right? He was almost sincere and friendly. But how did his ministers treat him? A Liang, how did your gentlemen encourage him?"
"Gentlemen say that the emperor is good at accepting advice and has an open mind..."
"It's useless!" The emperor touched his son's head, "Nian Xu is like this, but his strength is not enough to shake the group of scholar-bureaucrats in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, so his humility will only be regarded as weakness by his officials."
Nian Xu's ending can be called an emperor's disgrace. The army besieged the city, and his officials sent his family to his opponent's camp, only to ask the opponent to retreat.
"I understand." A Liang nodded, "If you don't have the strength, even if you kneel down, others will spit on you. If you have the strength, others will kneel down..."
…
The emperor returned to the palace and found the queen.
"After I go to war, you look at A Liang and remember, as long as he doesn't go out of his way, you don't need to worry about what he wants to do."
"Grind?"
"Yes, many times, it is not a good thing for parents to protect their children too much."
"So you just let him suffer on his own and ponder the relationship between father and son?"
Zhou Ning bit her lip and said dissatisfied.
"If he were Erlang, I would comfort him and take him out... But he is the prince!"
The emperor gently hugged his wife and said, "I can only guide him. He has to experience and figure out many things by himself."
"I know, I just feel a little distressed." Zhou Ning leaned into the emperor's arms, feeling a little sad.
"You were not like this before." The emperor smiled and said, "You used to be fierce and evil."
"After being pregnant for ten months and giving birth to a child, I will always care about him, wishing that his life would be smooth. But many times I also know that I want to let him fly... This kind of mood is particularly contradictory. Many times I think about suffering and toss and turn to sleep.
No, I turned around and saw that you were sleeping unconscious. At that moment, I wished I could find a silver needle and give you a few needles."
A chill ran down the emperor's spine, "Don't worry, everything is under my control."
After a woman has a child, her attitude toward men becomes even more alienated!
The emperor had the feeling that he was this kind of person.
"Going to war the day after tomorrow?"
"right!"
"It's time to clean your armor."
The queen personally cleaned the emperor's armor, while the emperor watched from the side, just like an ordinary couple.
"You wash, I'll go take a look around."
"It's almost time for lunch," the Queen said.
"I'm going to the Ancestral Temple to have a look."
In the Ancestral Temple, incense fills the air.
The emperor looked down from the divine master of Emperor Gaozu.
There are too many gods and masters, and many emperors have never heard of them.
Finally, when we arrived at Emperor Xuande's place, the emperor's eyes swept over him.
Next is Emperor Wu.
The emperor looked at Wuhuang's divine master without moving for a long time.
"What happened in those years? Why did father and son, mother and son, who were so close to each other, become enemies? The last glass of poisonous wine ruined his beloved son."
"Aye's death is inseparable from Li Yuan and his son. I don't know if you have ever known it. But thinking about it, you must have noticed it. But you just gave Aye a posthumous title of filial piety to the emperor, but sent the possible culprits to prison.
I went to the East Palace. How many of those past heartaches and sorrows are true?"
The emperor's eyes were deep and he slowly looked at the last god.
"Aye!"
The temple is very clean, and the words on it are written by famous writers, and are solemn and majestic.
"Years ago, you stood in the court and shouted loudly, saying that aristocratic families were a big problem. You wanted to suppress them and buy some more time for the world. But in the end... you died before you left the army. I don't know who it was.
I shed tears for you, but come to think of it, they are very few."
"It seemed ridiculous that you placed your hopes on me at the beginning, but now I have broken one of the legs of the powerful Guanzhong clan. I have accomplished what you have not done. Aye, you can
joy?"
"Li Yuan and his son were hiding in Shu. They thought they could stop my army by relying on natural dangers and survive. I have been preparing for a long time. To be honest, I am very cautious about this battle, fearing that something will go wrong. It is not for my own benefit.
Prestige, but... I can't wait to take Li Yuan and his son to your mausoleum to show you their fearful looks."
The emperor stretched out his hand and lightly touched the divine master.
"Aye, I have been investigating what exactly happened back then. Judging from what I have found right now, you provoked too many opponents back then."
"If you say it sounds good, you are fearless. If you say it sounds bad... you are a bit reckless."
"I know that you thought that having Ye Niang as your backer would have no taboos, but you didn't expect that Li Yuan and his son would stab you behind the scenes."
"You must really hate Li Yuan and his son! Please be patient, I will hurry up..."
Qin Ze stood outside the door, watching the emperor lean down and gently touch the divine master with his forehead.
Then turned around.
"Walk!"
…
On the third day, the emperor got up early.
The queen got up earlier than him.
"Eat breakfast first and then put on your armor. Hua Hong, Hua Hong, hurry up and ask them to bring the food. Also, where are the prince and the others? Call them quickly."
The emperor saw the queen smiling, and the queen glared, "I'm just afraid that I'll miss the time."
"Whenever I leave the palace will be a good time."
The prince and King De are here.
"Have a meal!"
The emperor waved his hand, and the family sat together and had breakfast lively.
After breakfast, the emperor warned: "Erlang, you must be obedient, or you will be punished when your father comes back!"
"Oh!" Li Laoer pursed his lips.
"Boss..." The emperor looked at the prince and patted him on the shoulder, "You are the eldest son. Your father is not at home, so you are the backbone of the family. Do you understand?"
"My child understands!"
"good!"
The emperor looked at the queen and said with a smile: "I have been waiting for this expedition for many years. I am a little excited, and so are you. Don't worry, after I return home in triumph, I will stay with you for a few years."
"good!"
The queen wears armor for the emperor.
"Boss, come and help!" The emperor waved.
"I'm coming too!"
His wife and children took action and quickly armed the emperor.
The emperor walked out of the hall, turned around and said: "It's right here, no need to send it away again!"
He smiled at his wife, glared at the two children, and then turned away.
The sound of armor scraping gradually faded away.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a roaring sound like a wave outside.
