Lin Xuan didn't know what happened in the grassland. After sending Ashina Sheer away the next day, he returned to the military camp.
After handing over the military affairs to Xue Rengui, Lin Xuan led his soldiers to Chang'an.
After rushing all the way slowly, on the afternoon of the third day, Chang'an City appeared in Lin Xuan's eyes.
Chang'an City is not any different due to the turbulence of the grassland. It is still so prosperous and has a touch of tranquility and peace.
"Qiu Fu, you take the people back home first, while Liu Da takes thirty people and me into the city." Lin Xuan ordered.
"yes."
After the team separated, Lin Xuan, Liu Da and other soldiers headed for Chang'an City.
When he arrived at the gate of the city, Liu Da stepped forward and handed over the documents. The soldiers guarding the gate checked and then let him go.
Lin Xuan walked along the broad Zhuque Street to the palace gate.
After a briefing, Lin Xuan was taken to the Ganlu Hall.
Lin Xuan also saw Cheng Chuliang and Changsun Chong outside Ganlu Hall.
The two men were wearing Mingguang Kai and standing guard with spears in their hands.
Lin Xuan couldn't say hello to Cheng Chuliang, so he blinked at him, nodded with a smile, and then entered the Manna Palace under the leadership of the eunuch.
Changsun Chong glared at Lin Xuan fiercely. Lin Xuan's smile just now always felt like he was laughing at him.
If Changsun Wuji hadn't forced him to marry the princess, he wouldn't have married her at all.
The eldest son's family is a relative of the emperor, and he has the title of Duke of Zhao, so he is usually not polite to anyone who meets him.
What are the benefits of marrying a princess?
Now he is standing guard every day, and Princess Gaoyang usually doesn't give him a good look. Due to Princess Gaoyang's identity, he doesn't dare to do anything to Princess Gaoyang even if he is unhappy.
As the same consort, Lin Xuan could lead the troops with ease, but he had to stand guard. The more he wanted to grow Sun Chong, the more unbalanced he became.
He didn't think Lin Xuan was better than him in any way, he felt that whatever Lin Xuan could do, he could do it too.
Lin Xuan naturally didn't know what Changsun Chong was thinking. After entering the hall, he saw Li Shimin reviewing the memorial.
Lin Xuan curled his lips secretly, what's so good about being an emperor? Every day he is either going to court or reviewing memorials, and there are so many women to be favored at night. No wonder the emperor doesn't live long.
To be fair, apart from the supreme power, the emperor is not as happy as a prince.
Of course, it would be better to be a foolish king than a prince.
But it seems that Hunjun’s life is shorter.
Looking at it this way, no matter whether you are a wise emperor or a foolish emperor, you will not live long as an emperor. I really don’t understand why so many people care about that position.
When he came closer, Lin Xuan saluted respectfully and said: "See your Majesty."
Li Shimin raised his head when he heard this, saw Lin Xuan put down the pen in his hand, and said: "No courtesy, please sit down."
Don't ask why Li Shimin raised his head when he heard the sound. Could it be that he couldn't hear the footsteps?
Sorry, he really can't hear it.
The most basic skill for the maids and eunuchs in the palace is to walk without making any noise.
Although Lin Xuan is not a palace maid or eunuch, the Ministry of Rites will teach etiquette to all civil and military officials when they go to court for the first time.
Although walking is not so demanding that walking without making any noise, the requirements are minimal.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Lin Xuan thanked him, he sat down.
"How is the matter I asked you to do?" Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, Ashina Sher has agreed." Lin Xuan told the story of his meeting with Ashina Sher.
Li Shimin pondered for a while and asked: "What do you think of Ashina Sheer?"
Lin Xuan understood that Li Shimin was worried that Ashinashe would annex the Western Turks by helping Yuanqi. Compared with Yuanqi and Tong'eshe, Ashinashe was much more difficult to deal with.
"Ashina Sheer's military ability is good, but his political vision is insufficient, so there is nothing to fear." Lin Xuan thought for a long time and said.
The reason why Lin Xuan said this is the result of combining history and his understanding of Ashina Sheer from several meetings.
Historically, when Ashina Sheer occupied half of the Western Turks' territory, they chose to fight Xue Yantuo. They were eventually defeated by Xue Yantuo. In addition, the Western Turks took the opportunity to counterattack and had to flee to Gaochang.
At that time, the Western Turks had been defeated by him. If he continued to attack the Western Turks, there was a high possibility that he could annex the Western Turks.
Ashina Sher gave up such a good opportunity just because of hatred, which shows his lack of political vision.
After several meetings, Lin Xuan also felt that Ashina Sheer might be good at fighting, but he was not suitable to be a monarch.
Liu Bang is famous in history for killing heroes. Although killing heroes is not uncommon, the only one who is more powerful than him in history is Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, among the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Liu Bang only killed one Han Xin, while Xiao He and Zhang Liang both died a good death.
In fact, Liu Bang was no less suspicious of Zhang Liang and Xiao He than he was of Han Xin. But the reason why the two of them died well was because they both knew how to retreat bravely.
It should be said that Zhang Liang is the smartest among the three, and the one Liu Bang feels most at ease with. Zhang Liang is proficient in Huang Lao's studies and knows very well the principle of "not appreciating one's achievements and not appreciating one's abilities."
Therefore, when Liu Bang was discussing rewards for his merits, Zhang Liang refused Liu Bang's reward of "30,000 households of his own choice" and only wanted the "retention" place. Because Zhang Liang had no foundation and was indifferent to fame and wealth, Liu Bang felt most at ease with Zhang Liang.
, Zhang Liang also died a good death.
Compared with Zhang Liang, Xiao He seemed to be "deeply rooted" in Guanzhong, which also aroused Liu Bang's suspicion. It is said that Liu Bang tested Xiao He three times to see if he was committed. But Xiao He dispelled Liu Bang's suspicions and concerns three times.
, thus turning danger into safety and surviving.
How did Xiao He do it? The first two times, Xiao He dispelled Liu Bang's concerns by sending young and middle-aged people to the front line and donating family property. The third time when he was suspected by Liu Bang, Xiao He had won the hearts of the people in Guanzhong and became Liu Bang's suspicion.
Important object. At this time, Xiao He followed the advice of others and did some things such as "forcibly buying people's fields and houses and extorting high profits" to ruin his good reputation in the hearts of the people through "self-defilement", so as to reassure Liu Bang.
Finally got a good death.
Han Xin was different. Not only did he not know how to retire after his achievements, he instead made the fatal mistake of taking the initiative to claim credit, and was ultimately framed and killed by Xiao He and Empress Lu.
Although it seems to have nothing to do with Liu Bang, considering Xiao He's intelligence, without Liu Bang's acquiescence, would he dare to conspire with Empress Lu to murder Han Xin?
There are many such examples, the most famous of which is Yue Fei.
I understand everything, so I won’t say much more here. (The main reason is that I don’t dare to say it anymore. I wrote some of my own opinions before and was blocked. It has not been unblocked yet)
Of course, political vision is not only used to protect one's self.
It is also a must-have item for a monarch.
Every time in history when the world was in chaos, many ambitious people would emerge to fight for the world.
Take the Three Kingdoms as an example. Can Cao Cao tell Liu Bei that there are only two heroes in the world, but the other princes are not outstanding?
It's just that those people lacked courage, courage and political vision, or they couldn't compare with Cao Cao and others in these aspects.
Under the great waves, everyone who can become a prince has his or her own merits, but the light has been obscured by others.
