As Li Chengqian's uncle and teacher, Gao Shilian said Alexander.

The day before he was about to go to the Zhongshan Palace, Li Shimin called him to the imperial study.

focused on explaining the four books and five classics, and Li Chengqian had already memorized them.

In addition, Li Shimin specially explained and asked Gao Shilian to teach Li Chengqian the knowledge of government affairs.

This made Gao Shilian very difficult.

Let yourself teach an eight-year-old in government affairs?

Isn't that a joke?

And the main thing is that this guy is still a prince.

I wonder if it's someone who wants to become an emperor in the future.

If he had taught himself, he would have learned well.

If you can't learn it, won't you smash your own signboard?

Standing outside the Zhongshan Palace, Gao Shilian hesitated to go in.

At this moment, a small figure jumped out of the palace.

"Uncle?"

"Why are you standing here?"

Li Chengqian ran to Gao Shilian's side.

Gao Shilian cleared his throat embarrassedly: "That, I just arrived." ”

"Come on, come on, uncle, please come in."

Li Chengqian very enthusiastically pulled Gao Shilian into the palace, serving tea and water very respectfully.

This really made Gao Shilian a little dumbfounded.

Li Chengqian held the teacup with a flattering smile on his face: "Uncle, this is the flower tea I made some time ago, you can taste it." ”

Gao Shilian took the teacup and took a sip, the tea was indeed very good.

It's just a muttering in my heart.

Didn't you say that the eldest prince was stubborn?

Where is this a little naughty, it's clearly a good baby.

But he knew what Li Chengqian was thinking.

The good baby in his eyes is thinking about it in his heart at this time.

Anyway, it won't be long before Gao Shilian will be demoted.

You just need to be obedient and you won't be beaten, let alone punished.

When Gao Shilian is gone, he can be a salted fish again.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian's smile was even more respectful: "Uncle, I'm eating a pastry, it's delicious." ”

"Good, good, good."

Gao Shilian took the pastry: "Let's start the class." ”

"Okay, I can't wait."

Gao Shilian strictly followed Li Shimin's instructions and did not teach Li Chengqian the Four Books and Five Classics, but discussed with him some government affairs cases in the court.

This is not torture for Li Chengqian.

After all, listening to stories face-to-face is much more interesting than watching wild history in later generations.

So in class, except for the occasional laziness, there is no trouble.

This also made Gao Shilian very proud.

Didn't Li Gang say that the eldest prince was stubborn and unteachable?

Now in front of yourself is not like a good baby?

Didn't Fang Xuanling say that he was only a shallow learner and was not worthy of being a teacher of the great prince?

Isn't he still handpicked by the eldest prince to coach now?

In the final analysis, it's not that the road is uneven, it's that people can't.

After a day of classes, Coats left triumphantly.

After sending Gao Shilian away, Li Chengqian breathed a long sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's been another day since I was freed.

……

Li Chengqian saw that the day of his freedom was getting closer and closer, so he was in a good mood.

But his son Li Shimin has been worrying a lot lately.

The excessive affairs of the state and county had just been resolved after Li Chengqian's Ten Paths, and the court was noisy again.

At the beginning, the Turks did not have any institutions, and every family was free and stable.

But after Zhao Deyan defected to Jieli Khan and was reused, he began to make great changes to the old Turkic customs.

Since ancient times, Han Chinese and nomads have different styles of doing things.

For the nomads, the decrees promulgated by Zhao Deyan are harsh and cumbersome, and in some places can even be said to be difficult for strongmen.

Therefore, the Turkic people began to complain.

Last winter, heavy snow fell, many livestock died in the steppe, and the Turkic people also suffered from freezing and starvation.

But Jieli didn't seem to see the folk scene, he still waged war every year, and intensified his exploitation of the people.

As a result, there were many complaints in the Turkic country, and various tribes defected from the Turks, and the strength of the Jieli army gradually weakened.

Seeing this, some people in the court asked to take advantage of the situation to attack the Turks.

Among them, Prime Minister Xiao Yu is the one who calls for the northern attack on the Turks.

Of course, if there is a main battle faction, there will be a main peace faction.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, is the head of the Lord and the faction.

He knows very well that the current Tang Dynasty is an eventful season, and the country has just undergone ten changes, so it is not appropriate to go to war.

The main battle faction and the main faction quarreled fiercely in the court, which made Li Shimin quarrel so much that he had to find an excuse to disperse the court.

If you ask Li Shimin if he wants to go to war.

He must have thought of it.

After all, the Weishui Alliance was regarded as a lifelong shame by Li Shimin.

He himself said that he would take Jieli and dance at the state banquet to show himself.

In the same way, he knew in his heart that now was not the time for war.

That's why he's melancholy.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the distraught Li Shimin walked out of the palace and came to the Zhongshan Palace, accompanied by the eldest grandson Wuji.

As for why he came to Zhongshan Wangfu, the reason is very simple, that is, he wants to check Li Chengqian's homework.

But if this is translated, then he is simply trying to find a reason to beat Li Chengqian to get angry.

Who knows, when Li Shimin was about to come to the courtyard where Li Chengqian was going to take classes, Gao Shilian and Li Chengqian talked about today's controversy in the court.

Gao Shilian sat in the hall and said to Li Chengqian under the hall: "Now Xiao Xiang and Changsun Xiang have their own words, one side says they want to fight, and the other side says they want peace. ”

"Qian'er, let me ask you, do you think you should fight, or should you make peace?"

"No war, no peace."

Li Chengqian replied listlessly.

Hearing this, Gao Shilian was puzzled: "What does it mean to not fight and not to make peace?" ”

"I just don't beat him, and I don't make peace with him."

Li Chengqian finally looked up at Gao Shilian: "To put it bluntly, I just ignore him." ”

Gao Shilian raised his eyebrows slightly, and then asked: "Now that the Turkic turmoil is in turmoil, it is when the situation is weak, why don't you fight?" ”

"The Turkic unrest is just beginning."

"And if you send troops at this time, you will help the old boy of Jieli."

"Helped him?"

Gao Shilian asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"In the face of a strong enemy like my Datang, can those tribes not be united?"

"This principle is too simple, and the turmoil will end in the face of survival."

Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "Instead of sending troops to help Jieli's old boy end the turmoil, it is better to boil tea and watch the play with a plate of melon seeds." ”

"And uncle, although the Turks have a much smaller population than us, they are all soldiers, and they are all cavalry."

"Even if our army can have the advantage in the early stage, it will inevitably be dragged into the quagmire by the Turkic cavalry later, and it will not be able to advance or retreat."

Li Chengqian's face was slightly regretful and said: "But I know that my father and emperor have always regarded the Weishui Alliance as a shame in his life, but now is not the best time to go to war. ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin, who was hiding in the shadows, picked the corners of his mouth.

Unexpectedly, this guy knows himself quite well.

Li Shimin continued to look up at Li Chengqian.

"However, I only want my father to know that instead of engaging in a senseless war of attrition with the Turks, it is better to hide this hatred in the bottom of my heart."

Li Chengqian's eyes stared ahead, and then slowly raised his hand: "Then work hard to strengthen the country, and wait for the opportunity to ......"
