After the Yuanzheng period, the Tang Dynasty entered a period of fifteen-day rest. However, this year was different from the past. During the period of rest in the Tang Dynasty this year, people were on duty in various important yamen departments, and they were also spending the first day of the Lunar New Year. After that, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun went to Chang'an City to express condolences to some ordinary people on behalf of the Tang royal family.
These people include the Jinwu Guards who inspect the security of Chang'an City, and the Fangzhengs of various cities and towns who are responsible for cleaning the sanitation of Chang'an City. These Fangzhengs often organize some people from their own cities to clean up the garbage.
But in fact, this work has currently been undertaken by the current veterans of Chang'an City, which is also an important reason why they have won the hearts and minds of various citizens.
These were the people Li Shimin went to see. To be honest, these disabled veterans were also very excited. Although they had made contributions to the Tang Dynasty before, they had only seen Li Shimin once from a distance. Now Li Shimin came to express his condolences to them in person. Said, and even had a meal with them.
This experience is unprecedented.
While being excited, I naturally felt that it was indeed reliable to work for His Highness. His Highness is worthy of being His Highness. How could they be where they are today without His Highness's guidance? Although they don't know if they can help His Highness realize his dream in their lifetime, they will work hard!
Li Shimin's condolences work lasted about seven days.
Li Shimin has been a bit tired these past seven days. Although he is physically tired, he is in a good mood, because the public's call for his reputation is naturally getting higher and higher. However, Li Shimin feels that it is still a bit outrageous. What is difficult to accept is that these methods are unacceptable. His son taught him.
Some things, after they are made, everyone can figure it out and understand the benefits of doing so, but before anyone brings it up, they just can’t think of it. It’s not that I can’t think of it, but I subconsciously think it’s not necessary.
To be honest, Li Shimin was also a little surprised. This kid's political wisdom seemed to be innate. To be honest, Li Shimin was astonished by many of his methods. It can no longer be said to be amazing, it should be said to be unprecedented.
With this method, if Li Ke really wanted to be the emperor, Li Shimin felt that his brothers had no chance at all.
Oh, although they don't have much chance now, that's because Li Shimin wanted to force the throne to Li Ke, not because he asked for it.
It's so outrageous to be so passive. If he takes the initiative, wouldn't he be able to succeed in direct rebellion just like himself?
Think about it... It doesn't seem impossible. Li Shimin knew Li Ke's huge prestige in Qinghai Road and Qinghai-Tibet Road. It is no exaggeration to say that he did not expect Li Ke to be able to do that.
Hey, but speaking of it, why doesn’t this kid also have a change in the Xuanwu Sect?
Li Shimin doesn't care anymore. In the past, this thing was his taboo, but now he has thought about it a little bit. He couldn't make that choice, and today's Datang proved that his choice was right.
If he had not ascended the throne, it is estimated that the Tang Dynasty today might be even more miserable.
Li Ke's words are quite right. The merits and demerits will be judged by future generations. Li Shimin felt that he could be worthy of himself and the people of the world.
Therefore, although things like the Xuanwu Gate Change were not a good topic here in Li Shimin's house, they were not taboo.
When Li Shimin was offering condolences, in fact, there were similar actions in various places in the Tang Dynasty, including Li Ke's influence.
Qinghai Road, Qinghai-Tibet Road, the areas ruled by Ashina Shilu, the ports in the Chinese Theater where Pei Xingjian was responsible, and the Lingnan Road all basically behaved similarly.
They all knew who they were eating with, so since His Highness the King of Qin asked them to do this, it wasn't like they couldn't bear the hardship, they just had to endure hardship for a few days.
Li Ke knew very well why these people did this. It was just political speculation.
But it's not important, as long as they can adopt this attitude under the influence of Li Ke, regardless of their deeds and intentions, if they can do this for a lifetime under the influence of Li Ke, then the evaluation of them by future generations will probably be unprecedented. minister.
Just like later generations' evaluation of Liu Bei is that benevolence and virtue are all fake, but he has been pretending for a lifetime. How can you tell that he is just pretending? Conspiracy theory?
There are some things that you can pretend to be a Holy Mother for a lifetime, then you are a Holy Mother.
So Li Ke doesn't mind what they think in their hearts, as long as they do it, because this influence will gradually spread. As long as they spread, a new generation of officials will grow up under this influence.
Among these new generations of officials, there will always be those who truly consider the people.
If you can produce one, you will make money.
On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the day before the Lantern Festival, Qin Wangzhuang.
Today's Qin Wangzhuang is really lively. Almost everyone in the palace has come. In addition, people from Wu Xu's family have also been invited. Wu Xu and Wu Xu's mother, Wu Xu sisters, they live alone in a courtyard.
On the contrary, Li Yan could not come, because Li Daozong returned to Chang'an, and his wife and daughter also came back with Li Daozong. Naturally, Li Yan also returned to the Li family.
The Wu Xu family invited him here because they had no man in charge and had no relatives in Chang'an City.
At this moment, Li Shimin and Li Ke were sitting together and discussing a brand new book "Ideology and Politics".
"Are you sure you want to use this book as a primary textbook for everyone?" Li Shimin's tone was somewhat strange.
"Yes." Li Ke said seriously.
"Talk about it." Li Shimin put the book on the table next to him.
In this bookstore, Queen Changsun, Concubine Yang, and Li Tai all have a copy in their hands. They have all read the contents, but the more they read, the more frightened they felt. This... How can I say this book? In any dynasty, it could be called a banned book! The kind that would definitely be banned by the royal family.
Therefore, the expressions of several people in the room were different. After Li Tai finished reading, he silently put the book aside, because he felt that this book and the knowledge he learned in the army were actually just like that. Their political commissar had already told them about this.
"Because a royal family that sincerely serves the people, why should we worry about the people overthrowing it?" Li Ke said with a smile.
Such a simple sentence made everyone in the room fall into deep thought.
Li Tai next to him was deeply touched. He once again felt the pattern of his third brother and his own immaturity before. Thinking about it now, his previous idea of wanting to be an emperor was as ridiculous as a child's.
