Li Yuan's life can be said to be very exciting.

The Li family is a descendant of Li Wei, the founding monarch of Xiliang during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and has been a dignitary for generations. Li Yuan's grandfather, Li Hu, was the Taiwei during the Western Wei Dynasty, and the Prime Minister Yuwentai and the Taibao Li Bi and the Great Sima Duguxin were the same as the Wei Chamber, and was one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, and was given the surname Ohno. After receiving Zen in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Li Hu was posthumously crowned as the Duke of Tang Guo.

The title of Tang Guogong is the origin of the Li family's national name "Tang".

In the first year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Wen of Sui was allowed by Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to establish the Sui Dynasty. Because Li Yuan's aunt was the Dugu Empress of Emperor Wen of Sui, Emperor Wen of Sui was particularly close to Li Yuan, and even appointed Li Yuan as a preparation for Qianniu. This official position is the emperor's military attache of the Janissaries, which shows the importance that Emperor Wen of Sui attached to Li Yuan.

After that, Li Yuan turned to the history of the assassination of the three states of Qi, Qi and Long. After Emperor Yang of Sui succeeded to the throne, Li Yuan was not left out in the cold, and successively served as the Taishou of Xingyang and Loufu counties, and was later appointed as the young eunuch in the palace and the young secretary of the guard.

In the thirteenth year of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan was officially appointed as the palace supervisor of Taiyuan and Jinyang, and was ordered to lead the army to recruit Zhen Zhai'er, the thief of Lishan, and Zhen Zhai'er encountered in the Bird Mouse Valley in Hexi County, and Li Yuan won a complete victory.

In the process of suppressing the peasant uprising, Li Yuan recruited rebels and constantly expanded his strength. Li Shimin knew that Sui was going to die, and in the process, he secretly made friends with heroes, recruited fugitives, and recruited all kinds of talents.

In July of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Yuan led an army of 30,000 to swear to the army, and officially set up troops in the name of "abolishing the faint and establishing the Ming, supporting the king, and restoring the Sui room". Although he had such a slogan, Li Yuan had already decided to rebel at this time.

In the document he released, he reprimanded Emperor Yang of Sui for listening to slander, killing Zhongliang, and using military force, which caused the people's resentment to boil. After the oath, Li Yuan and his eldest son Jiancheng and his second son Shimin waved their troops south, successively breaking the Sui Yingyalang general Song Laosheng and crossing the Yellow River to defend Huoyi, and besieged Qu Tutong, the Sui general who guarded the east of the river. Quickly advance to the southwest. At that time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was far away in Jiangdu, and the Sui army in the Guannai was weak; The Wagang Army of the Central Plains and Wang Shichong fought fiercely, and they had no time to look west. Therefore, Li Yuan's army marched quickly, and entered Chang'an on November 9, the thirteenth year of the Great Cause.

After that, the matter of supporting Emperor Gong of Sui and forcing him to the throne was the same as the replacement of many dynasties.

After Li Yuan became the emperor, he was in ruins. On the one hand, he organized forces to carry out a war to unify the whole country, and on the other hand, he paid attention to strengthening the building of political power. The political, economic, cultural, and military systems of the early Tang Dynasty basically began to take shape during the Li Yuan period.

Therefore, it is incorrect to simply attribute the establishment of the Tang Dynasty to Li Shimin, who also played a large role in this process.

It's just that Li Shimin's military exploits, as well as his exploits after becoming the emperor, are so dazzling that Li Yuan's achievements have been completely overshadowed. Even, people will be accustomed to attributing Li Yuan's achievements to Li Shimin.

In any case, at this time, Li Yuan has passed away, and his exploits and mistakes have all become clouds of the past with the fall of the Broken Dragon Stone.

After returning from Xianling, Leng Feng went directly into the military department.

This month, because of Li Yuan's delayed government affairs, they have all piled up, and if you want the imperial court to operate normally, you have to deal with these government affairs in a short time.

However, before the various departments could finish dealing with the accumulated government affairs, bad news came from the palace again.

Princess Jinyang, after all, couldn't bear it and passed away.

When he heard the news, Leng Feng sighed and put down the pen in his hand.

In the past month, he has lost his father and daughter one after another, and I don't know if Li Shimin can persevere.

After the news came out, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Dai Guan, Leng Feng and others all entered the palace to visit the emperor.

The palace was full of busy figures, and after a long time, Empress Eldest Sun and Sun Simiao walked out.

The queen was also pale, and her eyes were red with blood.

Leng Feng grabbed Sun Simiao's arm and asked, "How is the emperor?" ”

Sun Simiao sighed and said: "I have experienced the loss of my father and daughter one after another in a month, and I can't bear it alone." His Majesty's mind was damaged, and he could only recuperate for a short time, and could not go out casually. ”

Hearing that the emperor was fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at his sister with pity: "Queen Mother...."

Empress Eldest Sun sighed: "The palace is fine, Your Majesty still needs someone to take care of it, and the palace can bear it." However, in terms of government affairs, it really can't be delayed any longer, but Your Majesty is really not suitable to go to court again, this...."

Fang Xuanling said loudly: "Your Majesty is not suitable for the court, let the prince supervise the country in a short time, His Royal Highness the prince is not the first time to supervise the country, there should be no problem." ”

The queen sighed and said: "It's so easy, I let Cheng Qian supervise the country before, all because Your Majesty has no free time." Now like this, I'm afraid he won't agree easily. ”

Leng Feng took out the token from his waist, handed it to the empress and said, "Use this, the emperor said that although the emperor is no longer there, this jade pendant is still valid." ”

The queen took the jade pendant and said, "That's all there is to it." ”

After speaking, the queen took the jade pendant into the Yangju Palace.

Although Fang Xuanling and the others were puzzled by the dumbness between the queen and Leng Feng, they didn't ask questions after all.

Of course, even if they asked, Leng Feng wouldn't say. After all, the emperor was bound by a piece of jade pendant and had to do three things, which was also too extraordinary.

After a while, the emperor's will came out: the crown prince began to supervise the country.

After hearing the will, Fang Xuanling said anxiously: "Let's go, go to the prince, we have to hold a court meeting quickly, there are too many things backlogged in this month, if we don't finish it, it will be autumn soon, and it will be even busier when the time comes." ”

Everyone hurried to the East Palace to find the prince and asked him to preside over the court meeting.

Li Chengqian has been helping Li Shimin handle government affairs all these years, and he is completely able to take charge of it on his own.

Under his auspices, the backlog of affairs that had been accumulated in the imperial court for a month was completed in just ten days.

After a court meeting as usual, Li Chengqian left Leng Feng behind.

The master and apprentice walked side by side to the East Palace.

"Master, a batch of crabs were newly transported from Dengzhou, I don't know how to transport them, but they are still alive. The queen mother took some for my father to taste, and there was not much left, just enough for the four of us to eat. ”

Leng Feng patted Li Chengqian's shoulder: "I've worked hard for you these past few days, so many affairs have been piled up to you to deal with, and I haven't slept yet." ”

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly: "I have to deal with the hard work, I am the prince, this is what I should do." ”

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the East Palace, Leng Feng asked him: "Twenty years of the crown prince, no one under your command will talk about your grievances?" ”

Li Chengqian shook his head: "Someone said it, and then I dealt with it." Now, my group of people is honest. ”
