"The old minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty!"

Quan Wanji's face was pale, and he even pleaded guilty, this time he was not a person inside and out, and he was embarrassed, not only did he not trap Merton, but offended many important ministers, and even made Li Shimin disliked.

"Lord Kwon only needs to do his own job, and the royal housekeeping will not worry about Lord Kwon." Li Shimin frowned, and said coldly, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid in his heart.

If he had listened to the rumors just now and really let the princess of the Tang Dynasty choose a son-in-law, I am afraid that the princess would have no good relationship in marriage in the future, then wouldn't he cheat his own daughter.

However, what Li Shimin didn't know was that the princesses of the Tang Dynasty were extremely open, and more than 80 of the more than 200 princesses in the Tang Dynasty in later generations could not get married.

"The old minister is guilty!" Quan Wanji's face was disgraced.

Baiguan couldn't help but feel a little more pity when he looked at Quan Wanji, all along, Li Shimin was very polite to Baiguan, and he almost didn't make an official lose face so publicly, after this incident, I'm afraid that Quan Wanji will no longer have the face to stay in the court.

However, no one took pity on Quan Wanji, today was a royal happy event, but he was made upset by Quan Wanji, and the atmosphere in the court was embarrassing.

Just when the hundred officials were silent for a while, Yuan Tiangang, the Qin Heavenly Supervisor, came out and said: "Today is a happy event for the royal family, and we take this opportunity to congratulate Your Majesty on a happy event." ”

Qin Tianjian's happy event, hundreds of officials couldn't help but look at Yuan Tiangang, you must know that Taoism is the state religion of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Tianjian has a unique status, rarely speaks in the court, and now suddenly speaks, how can it not surprise the hundred officials.

"Oh! Yuan Aiqing, please speak! Li Shimin's heart moved.

"Your Majesty once ordered Weichen to observe the celestial phenomena to measure the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, and Weichen's master and apprentice lived up to expectations, and finally made the book "Tui Bei Tu", and asked Your Majesty to learn from it!" Yuan Tiangang bowed and said.

""Push Back Map"!"

Morton was suddenly taken aback, for the famous push back picture of later generations, he has heard of the famous back picture for a long time, and he did not expect to see it again, although many people in later generations claimed that "push back map" is made up by later generations, but it can be proved that Yuan Tiangang's push back picture must be extraordinary, otherwise it will not be passed down for thousands of years.

"Oh! Hurry up and bring it up. Li Shimin said with great joy in his heart.

How can the emperors of the past dynasties not care about their national fortunes, the Sui Dynasty is so powerful that it is only the second to die, the Tang Dynasty has not yet recovered the national strength of the Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin naturally wants to know how his national fortunes are?

"Yes!"

After Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, Li Chunfeng on the side bowed out and respectfully presented a hexagram book with both hands.

Li Shimin took the Tui Bei diagram, opened it and looked at it, only to see that the Tui Bei diagram was full of hexagrams and proverbs, very obscure, Li Shimin thought that he had read through Taoism, but he was still confused!

"Yuan Aiqing, this "Pushing Back Map" is extremely mysterious, I can't understand it, why don't you explain it to me as a master and apprentice." Li Shimin's eyes flashed.

Yuan Tiangang bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the heavenly machine is obscure, and the Weichen master and apprentice are shallow, originally they were unable to peep into the heavenly machine at all, thanks to the help of the ink sacrifice wine master and apprentice, helping the Taoist to develop the realm of peeping into the sky, only to peek into the glimmer of heaven, and luckily got a little bit of mention." There are a total of 64 hexagrams in this book, and they will naturally be fulfilled one by one in the future. ”

"Peep into the Heavens!" Merton was confused for a moment, and then remembered that the so-called realm of peeping into the sky was not an astronomical telescope.

The civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but turn back and forth between Mo Dun and Yuan Tiangang, and no one thought that the Taoists would cooperate with the Mo family again, and it seemed that they had made something extraordinary.

"A peek into the sky?" Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Merton on the side, but now is not the time to ask this, Li Shimin asked with concern: "Then do I have a clue about the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Yuan Tiangang frowned, a hint of flushing appeared on his face, and he said helplessly: "Weichen's master and apprentice only spied a trace of heaven with the help of external forces, and found that the Tang Dynasty will still have eternal national fortunes after a thousand years, and as for the future, it is beyond the ability of our masters and apprentices." ”

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." When the ministers heard this, they immediately congratulated.

Li Shimin was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, but he said modestly: "The fortune of the country has lasted for a thousand years, isn't it more than two weeks, I don't have such a luxury, I can continue the twenty-four emperors like the two Han Dynasty, I will be satisfied." ”

"Your Majesty is too modest, my Tang foundation will live forever, and it will be passed down from generation to generation, how can I be complacent for just twenty-four generations." The eldest grandson Wuji is the best at figuring out Li Shimin's intentions, and retorted with a straight face.

Other ministers echoed one after another, and everyone took this opportunity to show their loyalty, which made Li Shimin happy.

"How difficult is it to pass it on from generation to generation? I have been diligent and diligent all my life, lest the foundation of the Tang Dynasty be ruined, and as for the future generations, I will be powerless. Although Li Shimin was happy in his heart, he was still extremely sober.

Merton's heart moved, and he said: "The ancients: the past does not forget the teacher of the future, since ancient times, there are countless examples of dynasties and dynasties from prosperity to decline, not only the Central Plains, but also the country of the extreme west. ”

Merton knew that the purpose of compiling the Zizhi Tongjian was to guide and summarize many historical lessons and lessons for the rulers to learn from and help govern the country and secure the country, but he only wrote it from the standpoint of a courtier.

Li Shimin, as the first emperor of the ages, if he stood on the basis of maintaining his rule and compiled a book, perhaps there would be a book that would not be inferior to Zizhi Tongjian, and the history of the Tang Dynasty might have a different result, at least with the weapons of the emperor who restrained future generations, so that the imperial power would not lose its restraint.

"What did Mo Hou say? Is this a good idea? "Hearing this, the hearts of the hundred officials moved, and now all kinds of immortal theories have been cracked, and the heavenly and human inductions in the Mo family have been cracked by the Mo family one by one, and there is no longer anything that can restrain the emperor, if Li Shimin compiles an emperor book, wouldn't it mean that there is a means to balance the emperors of later generations.

Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but light up, since ancient times, hundreds of schools of thought have taught ordinary people how to behave in the world, and there has never been a book that teaches how to become a qualified emperor, and now in the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that only Li Shimin has this qualification to compile.

If the royal family also has a holy book to guide the emperor's governance, wouldn't it be passed down through the ages, and he who compiled this book would not be like the pre-Qin Kongmo Laozhuang side, and the benefits to the Tang Dynasty are also obvious, after all, the emperor does not want his dynasty to inherit for eternity.

"Okay, then I will be the best, the rise and fall of the dynasties of the past dynasties will be collected and sorted out by Lord Lao Yan?" Li Shimin looked excitedly at Yan Shigu on the side.

Yan Shigu is a master of contemporary historiography and is proficient in the historical books of all dynasties, so he is the most suitable candidate.

"Merton, the rise and fall of the dynasty in the Far West is your responsibility, and it is for reference and proof." Li Shimin looked at Merton and said.

"Wechen obeys!" Merton commanded, he can be said to be the person who knows the country of the extreme west best in the Tang Dynasty, and he will naturally be in charge.

"This book is a summary of the affairs of the emperors of the dynasty, and I decided to name it "The Book of Emperors". Li Shimin said in high spirits.

At this point, the "Book of Emperors", which was the highest guiding ideology of the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, officially began to be compiled, and it also opened a precedent for the emperors of the past dynasties to write books and make speeches.
