Li Shimin was very pleased to see his daughter acting cute in his study room.
This is the first time in his life that he has taken care of a child in person
That's right
In the past, when he was young, he followed a group of dandy boys around. Later, after his father started the army, he led his brothers to fight in the north and south. He rarely returned home, and even when he did, he only paid some food and left. .
As for the children in the family, they were all brought up by the eldest grandson.
He is only responsible for planting seeds.
Later, he fought wits and courage with Li Chengqian and finally defeated them and became the emperor.
As soon as he proclaimed himself emperor, but before he could secure his seat, the Turks came. The Turks attacked Jingyang (today's Jingyang County, Shaanxi Province), which was only 40 miles away from Chang'an, and the capital was shaken.
At that time, the number of soldiers in Chang'an was only tens of thousands, and most of the civil and military officials felt that it was a pill. Li Shimin's group of confidants were quite capable. They followed Lao Li and planned to use the strategy of setting up suspicious soldiers. They personally led Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and other 6 people to cross the Wei River. He had a conversation with Jieli Khan and angrily accused Jieli and Tuli Khan of breaking the agreement.
Jie Li and Tu Li were no longer vegetarians. They actually received news of the traitor, and completely ignored Li Shimin's suspicion tactics and began to attack.
At the critical moment, when the life and death of the Tang Dynasty was at stake, Li Shimin chose to vomit blood and let a mysterious force intervene in the war.
It has been more than ten years, and Li Shimin still remembers the tens of thousands of mysterious cavalry who came out from the flank of the Turks. The Turks, who were said to be so powerful on horseback, overwhelmed their opponents in one round.
The bright armor and sharp swords defeated the Turks. Jieli and Tuli fled in a hurry and were chased by them for dozens of miles.
When the Tang army collected the corpses from behind, there were Turkic corpses all over the ground. Very few of the opponent's soldiers died in the battle. Looking at the opponent's heavy armor, Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin and other generals were all jealous. They really wanted to do something at that time. .
Looking at the corpses of Turks on the ground, Li Shimin and the others were so excited that they finally held back.
The other party knew that Li Shimin wanted some armor, so he gave some, but there were only a few dozens of copies, saying that they were for Li Shimin's own research.
After receiving the agreed amounts of grain, iron ore, gold, and gems, he left. Before leaving, he also gave him a big favor. His eldest grandson, the Queen, was cured of her heart disease. She could not enter this place and left it for him. He ordered another medicine for his daughter ten years from now.
Li Shimin still remembers the power of their banner group's powerful cavalry, and it eventually became his inner demon to have powerful cavalry.
Over the years, Li Shimin has been trying various ways to improve his military equipment, armor, horizontal swords, and armor and riding equipment. The cost of a cavalry is ten times that of infantry. Lao Li is still determined to recruit and train a certain number of cavalry. Come.
Later, Li Shimin gradually forgot the language of the past. Until his daughter Li Mingda was born, everything was contained in the few words of the past.
A few days ago, an aristocratic family came to Li Shimin and asked for marriage. The target was Li Mingda, who was accepted as a disciple by the Fourth Duke.
Li Shimin knew what he wanted. These aristocratic families just wanted to test him. Even if they agreed, they would still find an excuse to withdraw, which would make Li Shimin even more embarrassed.
The Tang Dynasty is my Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's. The aristocratic family, you are waiting.
Just after Li Mingda was accepted as a disciple by Wei Zheng and the others, a shadow of a person appeared in Li Shimin's head. This person's shadow overlapped with the growing Li Mingda, giving Li Shimin more control over the Tang Dynasty's aristocratic families. A new bold idea.
While Li Shimin was in a daze, Li Mingda, who was in the royal study, noticed something strange about his old Li. (To explain here, Lao Li is Li Mingda’s name for Li Shimin. Li Shimin still uses his own name when he recalls it)
Since Lao Li was in a daze, Li Mingda planned to do something he had never done before.
Read the memorial
After giving Mingyue a wink and asking the other party to carry him over, Li Mingda picked up a memorial that Li Shimin had not approved and read it.
regular script
Over in Sichuan, the local state government reported that several armed conflicts had occurred on the border with Tubo. The other party wanted to know what Lao Li was thinking in the power structure of the Tang Dynasty.
Tubo
A careless guy
He worked with the Tang Dynasty for many years, and finally died due to religious issues.
Songtsen Gampo was not an easy man either. He constantly used small frictions to enhance his reputation in Tibet and resist the influence of religion.
Since ancient times, the land of China has been peeped by the surrounding foreign countries and regarded as fat. They dream of taking a bite every day. Of course, they are also willing to take a bite if they have the opportunity.
choke to death
nonexistent
Even if you really choke to death
Also worth it
Li Mingda thought for a while, Sichuan, a prosperous land, what if Tubo could take advantage of it? This land was the weakest of the Three Kingdoms, Shu, which had been forced to work for Lao Cao for many years.
If Zhuge Liang hadn't been unable to fight out, and if it weren't for the fact that his arbitrary decisions led to several failures and a waste of national power, there might not have been anything wrong with Lao Cao.
He picked up Lao Li's writing brush, imitated Lao Li's handwriting, and wrote two words on it: Prepare for war.
Looking at Lao Li's Fei Bai Shu that he imitated.
Nod
Very well written
There's no way it's fake at all
Satisfied, he threw him to the place where he had been reviewed.
I plan to watch the next one next
What Li Mingda did was noticed by Lone Hong, the personal guard who had been staying close to Li Shimin.
Li Mingda looked at Lao Li's personal bodyguard in the corner and grimaced.
With no intention of leaving at all, I continued to open the next memorial.
The excerpt from Jiangnan contains a lot of gorgeous rhetoric, and the general idea is that under the wise leadership of Lao Li, Jiangnan is now living very well, with good weather and good weather, and the people's lives are so happy.
It's all nonsense. Du Fuwei in the Jiangnan area has been dead for so many years. The armed forces who wanted to take revenge on the Tang Dynasty had long been consumed by time and money, and they were focused on living a luxurious life.
Individuals who want to do something are almost unable to do so alone.
Also, Li Shimin knew the prosperity of Jiangnan, so he deployed heavy troops there and dispatched enough confidants. If he didn't survive, he would die.
A useless and mediocre Jiangnan official.
Li Mingda wrote: Encouragement
It's not easy to reprimand someone like this, nor to praise them too much.
The third one, again from Jiangnan, is about maritime issues. The Tang Dynasty Navy dominated the Eastern Pacific region and conquered the surrounding vassal states called Grandpa.
According to the report in the memorial, a small number of pirates and Japanese pirates were harassing the seaside villages.
Japanese pirates
Send envoys to Tang Dynasty
little devil
hey-hey
Li Mingda picked up the brush
Cutting off the roots
After writing it, he threw it aside and looked at Lao Li preparing to move towards the next one. Lao Li's voice rang in Li Mingda's ears.
"Xiao Sizi, what are you doing?"
