Just after the New Year of Zhenguan ten years, Li Jun received news from Hu Yiwei that Yelu Chu killed the Northern Liao Emperor Yelu Cai at the New Year's Day banquet and officially ascended the throne as the emperor.

But now Li Jun doesn't care about these things, Li Jun took someone to visit Princess Huaihua, the personal maid next to Princess Huaihua died less than a year after returning to the Tang Dynasty, Princess Huaihua now has no children and no daughters around her, so Li Jun arranged for Guo Yi to come over, anyway, Guo Yi also let go of her arrogance at that time, and she was willing to be Princess Huaihua's concubine.

When Li Jun arrived, Guo Yi and a few maids were helping Princess Huaihua wipe her hands, now Princess Huaihua is getting weaker and weaker, and the torture she suffered in Northern Liao has completely destroyed the old man, after returning to Chang'an, Huashan has been helping Princess Huaihua to regulate her body, but Princess Huaihua has a will to die, and she can't get rid of her heart disease, so what's not possible?

Princess Huaihua is now completely stupid, and when Li Jun arrived, Guo Yi hurriedly saluted Li Jun and said, "Your Majesty, you are here." ”

Li Jun nodded and said, "Take good care of the princess, you go out first, call the imperial doctor, and I will talk to the princess about something." ”

After Guo Yi and the others left, Li Jun helped Princess Huaihua sit down, and then sighed and said, "Auntie, I have good news for you, that demon is dead." ”

Princess Huaihua's originally gray eyes shed tears, and she nodded and said, "I want to sleep, I haven't slept well for a long time." ”

Li Jun helped Princess Huaihua cover the quilt and said with a smile: "Okay, let's sleep for a while." ”

Princess Huaihua slept very sweetly, the little snoring was fighting, Li Jun sighed and left, Li Jun went out of Princess Huaihua's room, Guo Yi was waiting outside the door, Li Jun patted Guo Yi on the shoulder and said: "Take good care of this hard-working woman, let her enjoy her old age in peace, and I will give you justice when the time comes." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but the minister also has a reluctant request." Guo Yi hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.

"Say it."

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't want to go to other places to be an official, and the minister wants to enter the Imperial City Division or the Supervision Guard in the future." Guo Yi said cautiously.

Li Jun squinted his eyes and asked, "Why?" Give me a good reason. ”

Guo Yi looked directly at Li Jun and said, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to control my ambitions. ”

"Haha, okay, since you say so, then I will agree to your request, and I will tell you that the reason why I agreed to you is not because I am afraid of your ambition, but because I feel that you are still a usable talent, so I can't bear to give up on you." Li Jun said with a laugh.

"Your Majesty is broad-minded and admired."

Li Jun continued: "Actually, you and I are the same people, both are people who are afraid of loneliness, if you were born in troubled times, you may not really be able to become my henchman, but this is the Tang Dynasty, the current peaceful and prosperous world is not easy to come by, I hope you can protect it, not destroy it." ”

"No, the minister obeys."

Li Jun waved his hand and said: "Okay, you don't have to think about Jinyiwei and the Imperial City Division, the prince will establish the sixth rate of the East Palace next year, you go there to be a general, and assist the prince well, the future world will still be handed over to him." ”

"The minister should go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up." Guo Yi hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, this is really a great grace.

Just a month after Yelucai's death, Princess Huaihua of the Tang Dynasty also left this calamitous world in her sleep.

Li Jun prepared the most solemn funeral for Princess Huaihua, and buried it according to the emperor's tomb near Yushan City.

The students of Yushan City pooled their money to hire craftsmen to carve a mountain cliff into the shape of Princess Huaihua, as a warning to future generations that if the country was not strong enough, this would be the end.

In order to pass on Princess Huaihua, Li Jun also specially summoned Sima Da back, Sima Da, who had not been seen for more than a year, went south and north, looking much more capable, with a dark face and strong limbs, no one knew that this guy in front of him was a powerless scholar before.

Li Jun put a large pile of parchment rolls on the table, and said with a smile: "Sima, come and see, this is a gift from me." ”

"What?" Sima Da replied angrily.

Li Jun said with a smile: "Duan Ping dug water conservancy in Hetao and found the tomb of Mao Dun, the Xiongnu king of the former Northern Liao Dynasty, and these things were all found from his coffin. ”

Sima Da was immediately attracted by Li Jun's words, for Sima Da, finding clues from the pile of old papers to infer and restore the real life of his predecessors is his greatest hobby.

Sima Da buried in those dilapidated antiquities is the real Sima Da, a scholar who is mixed into political affairs, not a good scholar.

When you enter the political hall, no matter how upright you are, there will always be biases, and your judgment of things will be affected by your personal likes and dislikes.

In particular, those who record history should completely eliminate their own personal opinions, as long as they faithfully record the original appearance of the events, summarize the gains and losses, and shield the fifteenth, which is what future generations should do on his basis.

On this point, in fact, Sima Da did a very bad job, because Sima Da is an emotional person, he always has a strong sympathy for someone and something, so Li Jun decided not to arrange any official position for Sima Da, so that he could withdraw from the big mud pond of the court and write his book in peace.

Sima Da happily left the palace, being an official is not Sima Da's ambition, this time you can have the opportunity to quit, Sima Da also felt a lot more relaxed, Sima Da heard Li Jun tell a story before, the hero of the story is also a historian, the historian imprisoned himself in the cellar, and swore not to write a book will not come out, and then the emperor lived up to his wishes, the great historian finally succeeded in writing a brilliant masterpiece.

Sima Da was ready to learn from this historian, so he went home and dug a cellar, buried himself in it, and listened to the outside of the window, and only read the books of the sages.

Returning to Beijing with Sima Da was also the cabinet deputy assistant Lu Hang, looking at Lu Hang, who had lost a lot of weight, Li Jun couldn't help but say: "Lu Qing, I really worked hard for you this time." ”

When Lu Hang heard Li Jun's words, his tears were about to fall, and he arched his hand to Li Jun and said, "This is a matter for the ministers, please retract your majesty." ”

Li Jun said with a smile: "I know Sima Da's temper, this guy belongs to the kind of person who doesn't care about killing or burying, he doesn't care about what he does, as long as you dare to be corrupt, he dares to arrest people, the mess he left behind, if you don't help him clean it up, I don't know what kind of mess will happen." ”

"Your Majesty has a good reputation, and it is very pleasant to cooperate with Lord Sima." Lu Hang smiled bitterly.

Li Jun waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't say good things for him, this time I want you to come back, that is, I want you to hand over to Zhang An in advance, I will give you half a year, once Zhang An retires, you must be able to get started immediately, the war is about to begin, and your cabinet must not drag my feet." ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will complete the task." Lu Hang said very excitedly.

After Lu Hang left, Li Jun went to the East Palace, starting from this year, Li Chengtang moved to the East Palace by himself, Li Chengtang is eleven years old, according to the ancestral system, Li Chengtang should move out of the harem when he was eight years old, it was Li Jun who was reluctant to keep this child, so he forced Li Chengtang to stay for three years.

After Li Jun arrived at the East Palace, Li Chengtang was taking people to renovate the garden, and there were some peonies planted here before, seeing Li Jun, Li Chengtang walked over with a smile and said, "Father, why are you here?" ”

"The peony grows very well, why do you want to replace him all?" Li Jun changed the subject and asked.

Li Chengtang lowered his head and said, "Father, sons don't like to eat meat flowers. ”

Li Jun suddenly understood that this was Li Chengtang making a metaphor for himself, Li Jun asked with a smile: "Are you unwilling to send Guo Yi to you?" ”

"For Guo Yi, Erchen has also heard of it."

"Oh, and what do you think of him?"

"Not a good person." Li Chengtang said hatefully.

"Haha, he is indeed not a good person, but he is a capable person, don't worry, he has come to the East Palace, and he will never disappoint you." After speaking, Li Jun patted Li Chengtang on the shoulder and left with a smile.
