Chapter 2 Western affairs, entrusted to one person(1/2)

The news of Li Longji's illness spread to Guzang at the first time, and Pei Min also felt a little worried. But thinking that Li Longji lived until he was 78 years old in history, even though he later put Li Heng under house arrest, restricted his freedom and lived a miserable life, he still lived for five or six years, and relaxed his heart.

It is natural to be sick occasionally in this life.

Even if you have a strong body, you will have times of physical discomfort, let alone an emperor who is pampered and has a good life?

Pei Min did not ask about the situation as soon as possible, and when it was time for him to find out, he wrote a letter of condolence.

Pei Min never cares about this.

After this round and time, Li Longji's body has almost recovered.

Pei Min also received news that Li Longji had deposed the prince at the right time.

Although I felt something long ago, Pei Min couldn't help but frown when he first got the news.

Li Siqian is not qualified to be an emperor, Pei Min knew from the very beginning.

Pei Min had no strange feelings about his deception, but Li Longji's attitude towards the prince was obviously wrong.

Being an emperor is both simple and difficult.

It is easy to be a fool, even a fool can do it. It's like Sima Zhong...

But it is not easy to be a good emperor.

With the thousands of years of history of China, how many people can truly be called good emperors?

How many famous lords have been through thousands of years?

Governing the country is an extremely difficult thing, and no one is born to understand it.

Even kings like Qin Shihuang, Han Wudi, and Tang Taizong could achieve future achievements through their own learning and practice, and the assistance of a group of famous ministers and good ministers.

The above emperors are the most outstanding emperors in Chinese history, and they are all so talented.

Those with ordinary talents and talents, what should they use to be a good emperor without learning and practice?

Not only did Li Longji not cultivate his son's administrative abilities at all, he also raised them in half a cap like animals.

Even if there are geniuses, they will be cultivated into waste.

What's more, he's just a fool!

Therefore, none of Li Longji's sons in history can be seen.

The only person who has the ability is the third brother Li Heng, but it’s okay if he doesn’t have such ability.

Pei Min thought of the many struggles for power in history, it was because the emperor's sons all had specialties.

Not to mention how outstanding it is, but at least it is worth following.

However, Li Longji's son was not in this situation. Except for the prince who had some status because of his own identity, the other princes had a very low presence, and few of them could be on the table.

The only famous one is Li Mao. This is not because of how outstanding Li Mao, Shou Wang, was, but because he tragically married Yang Yuhuan, and asked Li Longji to snatch it away, leaving a heavy hand in history. Everyone knows that there is a prince named Li Mao who made his son cuckold.

Pei Min racked his brains and thought about it. Looking at the current study of history, the only one who was slightly outstanding in the Li family was Li Chu, the third generation, who was Li Yu, the Emperor Daizong of Tang Dynasty in history.

Li Yuyu is profound in terms of strength, broad-minded and capable of breaking things. He has never had the ability to turn the world back, but has the talent to maintain success.

In history, he quelled the Anshi Rebellion, but tolerated the remnants and left behind the governors such as Tian Chengsi, Li Baochen, and Li Huaixian, which created the independence of the vassal states. However, he reformed the grain transportation, salt administration, grain prices and proposed the fiscal policy of "fostering the people first", which led to the accelerated recovery of the Tang Dynasty's economy.

Pei Min remembered that after discussing the actions of Daizong throughout his life, he actually came to the conclusion that "the wise king of ancient times failed to match this."

But Pei Min felt that the evaluation in this regard was too exaggerated, but Ouyang Xiu's evaluation was more pertinent.

"During the time of Emperor Daizong, the remaining evil was still there. He suppressed the chaos and preservation, and was probably the master of the most talented people!"

The master of Chinese talents is indeed appropriate.

Pei Min found that after thinking about it, she actually chose such a date, which was Li Heng's son.

It's really cold.

Pei Min always thought that as long as Li Longji remained unchanged, the prosperous Tang Dynasty would continue to flourish and become a real empire, which was no longer a flash in history.

Now that Li Siqian has been deposed, Pei Min discovered that he was unable to succeed.

Li Longji has nearly thirty sons, but none of them perform well in history.

Not to mention being an excellent monarch, there is not even a Chinese talent.

"Maybe, there may not be any fish that misses the net!"

Pei Min shook her head with a wry smile, and then she thought about it, and felt that she was too worried.

Li Longji is in his prime, and he is also young and strong. He will have no problem in striving for another thirty or forty years.

At that time, let alone the third generation of the Li family, the fourth generation had all come out.

I really don’t believe that I can’t find an excellent heir?

Pei Min didn't think much anymore.

However, Pei Min is not the only one who cares about current affairs, and Zhang Jiuling is also one of them.

Zhang Jiuling has been in Beijing for many years and has many friends. After learning that the Crown Prince Li Siqian was deposed, he specially found Pei Min.

"Pei Shuai, do you know that the Prince of Chang'an was deposed?"

Looking at his confidant, Pei Min also nodded and said, "Of course I know that the reason is that I have no talent but no virtue."

Of course, it is necessary to depose the prince. Li Longji's reason was the poor performance of Li Siqian's reign during the reign of the country. After he scolded him, he not only did not humbly receive reforms, but instead complained and did not recognize his own mistakes, which was the origin of his lack of moral cultivation.

Zhang Jiuling said: "I think this matter is to be discussed. Although the former crown prince is not able to bear the great responsibility, the real reason... I think it is because the crown prince has not received good training. If Your Majesty can give the crown prince more opportunities and let him get into government affairs earlier, it may not be like this. Just like Emperor Taizong of the past, King Chengqian of Hengshan was thirteen years old, although he was not very good at governing the country, he was quite aware of the generality during his reign and did a particularly outstanding job. This was even more so by Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi. Emperor Taizong was in charge of the court and ordered Emperor Gaozong to learn from him, let Emperor Gaozong watch himself decide various government affairs, and even let him participate in the discussion and ask for his opinions. Originally, Emperor Gaozong was weak in character, but after training, he became a rare hero."

"Your Majesty does not give the prince a chance to learn at all, so how can the prince have the ability to control the rudder of the world?"

Zhang Jiuling was worried.

Pei Min couldn't imagine that Zhang Jiuling had seen through the reason, but how could Li Longji compare with Li Shimin?

Li Longji is very similar to Li Shimin. He is decisive and brave, and is good at appointing talents. He is just like Li Shimin. But if you look closely, the two are very different.

Li Shimin and Li Longji both grew up in the struggle. Both of them were suspicious, but Li Shimin was confident and suspicious, while Li Longji was unfounded.

Li Shimin can control everything. Even if Li Chengqian really rebelled and wanted to take office, Li Shimin still tried every means to save his life.

When Li Longji faced his betrayal son, he did not investigate or interrogate him, and directly deposed him as a commoner and killed his three sons at once.

The fact that Li Longji has a weak relationship in this regard is how weak Li Longji has.

Pei Min asked in a deep voice: "What do you think Jiuling thinks? Your Majesty is wise and powerful. Do you really think he doesn't know the reason?"

Zhang Jiuling was shocked when he heard this, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Pei Min looked at his most capable assistant and said solemnly: "You know this, I know, how could Your Majesty not know? You just need to know this. Disaster comes from your mouth and brings troubles. It is even more difficult for us to interfere with your Majesty's family affairs as foreign ministers."

Zhang Jiuling hesitated for a while and sighed: "What Pei Shuai said is very true, my subordinates understand."

Justinian, who came to Chang'an again, looked at everything familiar and unfamiliar around him, and felt like a different life.

Constantinople is the fortress they proud of Byzantine, a giant city that combines economy, culture and history.

Justinian always thought that there would be no more city in the world that could be compared with Constantinople, but when he first saw the majestic Chang'an City, he put a lot of pressure on him.

Although he did not admit it, he knew in his heart that Constantinople was not as good as Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.

Now when I come here again, I find that compared with many years ago, Chang'an has actually undergone significant changes.

The flow of people is larger and more abundant.

There are more people from all ethnic groups coming and going.

Compared with their self-confidence, the Tang Dynasty was undoubtedly taking big steps forward.

Looking around with a little amazement, Justinian went directly to the Sierra Museum of the Ministry of Rites to report, and through the officials of the Sierrara Museum of the Ministry of Rites, they conveyed the meaning of their emperor's alliance.

Li Longji was recuperating in Xingqing Palace and handed over the state affairs to Zhang Shuo. Li Yuanhong did not make any extra mistakes.

Zhang said that Li Yuanhong is both a prime minister, so naturally Li Siqian cannot compare with him.

Li Longji also rested with confidence. Except for taking the time to issue an edict to depose the prince, he has not been inquiring about the court for a while and has been resting comfortably for a while.

However, Li Longji is very affectionate and often thinks of Concubine Wu who has died of illness, and often shows a look of sorrow.

Thinking of the beauty's goodness and the beauty's appearance, the affectionate.

After diagnosis and treatment by Liu Shenwei and the Imperial Doctor, it was unanimously believed that the reason for Li Longji's illness was heart disease on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was caused by wind and cold, and wind evil entered his body.

The combination of heart disease and external diseases caused this serious illness.

Wind evil is easy to get rid of, but heart disease is difficult to cure.

In order to make Li Longji happy, Gao Lishi put the people from the Pear Garden into the palace and let Li Longji enjoy it.

really!

When Li Longji saw the singing and dancing in the Liyuan Garden, his spirit immediately recovered. He watched with relish and did not look sick at all.

Looking at the young leading dancer in front of the hall, Li Longji said enthusiastically: "I look familiar to this woman, what's her name?"

He looked at Gao Lishi in doubt, and he believed that Gao Lishi would definitely solve his doubts.

Gao Lishi said respectfully: "It was Xie Aman. Duke Pei Guoji said that this woman will be the future leader of the Liyuan Dance Team."
