Li Ke, who had just been sitting there, thought a lot. What happened with Li Yuanjia made him suddenly realize that he had changed too much about the Tang Dynasty, and he had changed even more about the history of more than a thousand years later.
Maybe many people will never appear again, maybe many new talents will appear.
The simplest thing is that because Li Yuanjia sacrificed himself so early, he now only has one son. The eldest son Li Xun died young, and the second son Li Yi was just under two years old. It is impossible for the three sons and a daughter to be born after him.
And the descendants of these sons will definitely not be born.
Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, many people who should have died because of the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" survived, and they will naturally have their own descendants. Some ordinary families will continue to have children because several children have died. If these children had not died, perhaps these ordinary people would not have continued to have children.
What about the descendants of these children?
Magnified to the entire Tang Dynasty with a population of 30 million, the impact would be too great.
Of course, Li Ke didn't care about this. He just realized one thing deeply, that is, a lot of history in later generations can no longer be verified. Even because of his appearance, many excellent cultural treasures will not appear.
At least Li Ke felt that poems like "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" must no longer exist.
"Third brother, third brother." Changle stretched out his little hand and waved it in front of Li Ke.
Li Ke, who was shaken by Chang Le's little hand, smiled bitterly again. Unknowingly, he was distracted again.
"What did you say?" Li Ke looked at her and asked.
"I didn't say anything. Third brother, you were distracted just now. Third brother, are you sure you're okay?" Chang Le looked worried.
"Don't worry, third brother is fine." Li Ke shook his head, "Did the father issue an edict?"
"Yes." Changle repeated Li Shimin's imperial edict.
After listening to Li Shimin's imperial edict, Li Ke couldn't help but sigh. He deserves to be Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. This series of actions has obviously regarded Li Yuanjia's incident as a publicity work for the National Martyrs Cemetery of the Tang Dynasty, further strengthening the martyrs and martyrs. The sense of honor of the cemetery.
Use these to establish a new honor system for the army. Even the mausoleums are hidden behind the Tang Martyrs Cemetery, making use of all aspects of one thing.
Is this the emperor? Although Li Ke knows that these are the necessary qualities for a qualified politician, sometimes it is a bit cruel to stand on the sidelines.
But someone has to do this cruelty, because if you don’t do it, it will be worse.
This is a paradox.
And now that the system has just been established, such things need to be publicized even more. This is not a disgraceful thing.
Just looking at it from a higher perspective, this is indeed a means.
But Li Shimin's imperial edict also made Li Ke clear-headed. There was no need for him to grieve over the Spring and Autumn Period here. I don't know how many such things will happen in the future. If he has always been like this, then he shouldn't do anything.
It's better to just live like Li Ke and don't touch anything else.
"Xu Song." Li Ke pondered for a moment, and then said loudly.
Xu Song, who was waiting beside Yang Anning and the others, immediately ran quickly in this direction.
"Your Highness."
"Write an official document to the three provinces, saying that in addition to the royal title postulated by my father, Li Yuanjia will be awarded the honorary title of "Guardian of the People". The honorary title will be issued in the name of Shangshu Province, and the special meritorious minister will be awarded in the name of the military department. hair."
"In addition, send someone to "Datang Weekly" to quickly publish a new issue in the form of a special issue tomorrow. I want the whole story of this matter to be circulated and stopped as quickly as possible. Finally, prepare your horses, I will go to Uncle Eleven In his house." Li Ke said.
"Yes!" Xu Song immediately bent over his luggage and said.
"Li Zhi, if third brother still has something to do, I won't keep you here. You have some fun with the sisters-in-law, and third brother has to go deal with the matter." Li Ke said.
"Third brother, just go and do your business. Li Zhi naturally has a place to go, and I am afraid that my sisters-in-law will treat Li Zhi badly." Chang Le said with a smile.
Li Ke nodded and quickly left Qin Wangzhuang.
In Li Yuanjia's house, when Li Ke arrived, white silk cloth had been hung up inside and outside the house.
When they learned that Li Ke was coming, Li Yuanjia's wife, Fang Jiao, who was from the Fang family of Qinghe and the daughter of Fang Xuanling, Duke of Liang Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty and Li Yuanjia's wife, came out to greet him.
"I have met my aunt, and I would like to ask my aunt to express my condolences." Li Ke saluted the other party, even though the other party was even two years younger than him.
"My late husband died to save the people of the Tang Dynasty. This was a matter of honor. He did not live up to the reputation of the Tang Dynasty royal family, nor did he live up to his own oath: to devote his whole life to the Tang Dynasty and die. But as a widow, , I can't help myself, please forgive me, Your Highness." Fang Jiao said softly, her eyes still a little swollen.
"This is an honor, but it is also a loss to the Tang Dynasty, a loss to countless people of the Tang Dynasty, and a loss to the Tang Dynasty court. I am also very sad, because from a certain perspective, Uncle Eleven died because of me. After all, I arranged for him to be in that position.”
"But I came today because I have something to discuss with my aunt." Li Ke said softly.
"Your Highness, please speak."
"The baby of the family that Uncle Eleven saved, the child's grandfather died because he was guilty of hitting a rock on the spot. I want to pay them in the name of the Tang Dynasty and let them have a good burial. I hope this will not happen in the future. A sad thing." Li Ke said.
"Your Highness, I have a gracious request." Fang Jiao thought for a moment and said seriously.
"you say."
"This money comes from our house. My late husband did such a feat because they were the people of the Tang Dynasty. As a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, he did not seek any reward for his work for the people of the Tang Dynasty. And the grandfather of this child The tragedy must be something that my late husband did not want to see, so I want to give them a sum of money on behalf of my late husband, hoping that they can live a good life in the future." Fang Jiao said softly.
Li Ke was stunned for a moment, looked Fang Jiao up and down, and then said seriously: "If my aunt is willing, then of course it's okay, but the money can't be too much, it's enough to buy an ordinary coffin so that they can have a good life." Just bury him."
"Everything is at His Highness's command." Fang Jiao said softly.
The communication with Fang Jiao was easier and smoother than Li Ke had imagined. When leaving Li Yuanjia's house, Li Ke immediately called Xu Song and asked him to send people on horseback to chase the imperial army as quickly as possible and tell the matter The decision was sent back to Longxiang together.
Li Ke raised his head and looked at the plaque on Li Yuanjia's house. Li Ke was somewhat in a trance. He never expected that at his wedding last time, Li Yuanjia, who stopped him from having a wedding banquet, just went there. At that time, he also confessed to himself, saying There is no way to drink the next few wedding banquets.
Who knew, this would mean goodbye forever.
He also said that when he comes back, he will face Goguryeo on the battlefield and become a real general who charges into battle.
