Chapter 10: The Turks are like tea in a cup
"Daojun, there seems to be someone outside, look outside the window......"
"Anyone?"
Li Yuan rubbed her eyes, her head was slightly tilted to the right, and her elbow happened to press on a wisp of green silk on the picture screen, which made her scream in pain, but she could also see the outside clearly.
The papier-mâché window is dim and there are clearly three or two torches.
He frowned slightly, with his dignity as the emperor, there were also five hundred forbidden guards on the left and right of the Bamboo Pavilion, and the gatehouse was also guarded by eunuchs and palace maids.
Although the bamboo pavilion is simple, it is also relative. For Li Yuan, this place is undoubtedly more warm than the empty and cold Da'an Palace.
But this does not mean that the bamboo pavilion is like a cottage in the countryside, anyone who wants to enter can enter.
"There are indeed people outside the door, and it is not an ordinary person, you see that the eunuch palace maid who is on vigil does not make a sound at all, if this is a giant man in Guanzhong who is like a bearded guest, he must not make a sound at all, we hear that it is impossible......"
"Assassins?" Drawing Ping's flushed face regained a little coldness, and her mind became much clearer, she bit her red lip, shook her head and said, "Assassins don't carry bright torches, but ...... It was obviously impossible for that man to ......"
Li Yuan lit the gilded lampstand in front of the bed, tied his belt tightly, bent over and put on his shoes, and said with a half-smile: "The five hundred forbidden soldiers didn't even breathe, who else could come?" ”
The odds are slim that the person stationed outside is him, but it's easier for him to make sense than the Assassins. It's not that the Emperor Taishang hasn't thought about anything else, but after four years of Zhenguan, there seems to be no coup d'état.......
In the Tang Dynasty, the people who can stop silently in front of the Emperor Taishang's gate, except for Li Shimin, the Emperor Taishang really can't think of anyone else?
The door of the Lane Bamboo Pavilion creaked, revealing the night outside.
"The son visits his father." Li Shimin, who was stationed outside the door, saw the Emperor Taishang come out, and his eyebrows were filled with a hint of joy, and he respectfully saluted him.
Then he spoke: "At this moment, it is already three quarters of the hour, when everything is resting, the son of the minister took the liberty of disturbing his father's holy peace, and his heart was really uneasy, but the stone in this heart did not fall for a moment, and the heart of the son was ........"
He pointed to the stars in the sky and smiled slightly: "Just like this star, it flickers and shines." ”
After that, he took out the envelope that was torn open and sealed, and said in a deep voice: "What does the father mean? That old bastard Wei Zheng humiliated the foreign clan with Yi Di who was not my race, and his sons could also understand it. Since the Jin Dynasty lost its deer, the world chased it, the Jin Emperor suffered and fled in Jiankang, and the northern land was harmed by the Hu people, the people were angry with blood, and the soldiers were angry!
In the ninth year of Wude, Jieli Khan captured the central and northern parts of Guanzhong, and the people were displaced...... The army was sent out in October last year, so he was happy to hear about the war.
Although the Hu people were once our enemies, the pharmacist chased them north and wiped out the Turks in one fell swoop. The original Jieli Department is all my Tang people. Although he is the emperor of the Central Plains, he is also the son of heaven of the Quartet!
What is the difference between today's Turkic households and the Tang Dynasty? ”
Hearing this, the Emperor Taishang frowned tightly. That historical Tian Khan is still a Tian Khan after all, and it is too difficult for his three poisonous plans to make Li Shimin change his mind.
If he is a Turk, when he hears these heartfelt words, I am afraid that he will immediately swear allegiance, and his personal charm is really powerful.
In Li Shimin's view, since he wiped out the Eastern Turks, then the land wealth of the Turks and the people belonged to the Tang Dynasty, and the once stupid Jieli Khan could make the Turks loyal, and he, the emperor, would definitely be able to do it.
Whether it is the Han people in the Central Plains or the Turkic people in the steppe, they are all Tang people!
That's right, the Tang people!
Although after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a certain national concept, but it was still very weak, not at all like the clear distinction of later generations.
One of the old Three People's Doctrines of Mr. Sun Wen, the founding father of the Republic of China, is to expel the Tartars and restore China.
The Tartar was obviously Mengman. But when the new Three People's Principles were established, this article was deleted, why?
It was the Chinese nation that replaced the narrow Han national ideology, thus realizing the republic of the five ethnic groups.
And now the Tang Dynasty does not have a national concept, but the national consciousness of the Tang people. In their minds, the Turks are indeed aliens, that is because they have not been ruled, and at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor has destroyed the Eastern Turks, so the people under his rule have also changed from Turks to Tang.
However, the Emperor Taishang was disdainful of these superficial "national" concepts of the Tang Dynasty. The Republic of China was able to implement a five-ethnic republic and put forward the concept of the Chinese nation, which was based on the premise that the Manchus had almost been assimilated by the Han Chinese.
And what about the Turks?
Their language and culture are different from the Central Plains, and the only thing they have in common is that they surrendered to the obscenity of the Tang Dynasty.
To sum it up, that is the words of Wei Zheng's old troll: Yi Di is not my race, his heart will be different, and he will be a thief, if he is humble, regardless of kindness and righteousness, his nature is also!
"Shimin, you go with so-and-so and sit on that small pavilion." Li Yuan said softly.
Emperor Taishang knew that if he wanted to change Li Shimin's thinking now, it was not a simple matter of saying that the Turks would be harmful in the future, this sentence, Wei Zheng said.
Li Shimin was a little surprised, he said such a long paragraph so impassionedly, and then the emperor did not say anything, but went to the small pavilion to sit elegantly?
From the time he saw the three poisonous plans written by the Emperor Taishang to the present, he held back countless words in his chest and abdomen.
Only...... So light?
But he is a son, how can he beat his own son in such a trivial matter, and obediently followed the emperor to sit down in the small pavilion next to the bamboo pavilion.
The pavilion is small and delicate, with a foundation a few points higher than the corridor, and from here you can overlook the royal gardens.
"What is this? It looks like ...... Tea? As soon as Li Shimin sat on the stone bench, Mingyan carried the teapot and poured a cup of tea.
The light brown tea is clear and translucent, and the fine tea foam under the white glazed teacup gradually enters the bottom with the water swirl, and the white steam like a mist carries a fragrance that only belongs to the tea flavor......
"Not bad." Li Yuan nodded, picked up the teacup and drank a little sweet rain, and said slowly: "This is fried tea, which is different from the original tea soup made of tea cakes, and pays attention to the original taste. ”
Hearing the Emperor Taishang's praise, Li Shimin's mood suddenly calmed down with the level of this cup of tea, and he pecked lightly, slightly bitter, but with an endless aftertaste.
It stands to reason that he would be glad if there was such a wonderful discovery on a daily basis. But now it's a little tasteful, since the beginning of his ascension, he has been dealing with the government diligently day and night, and the Liangyi Hall has simply changed to the Diligent Government Palace.
But what about the Emperor?
In his spare time, he can still make so many things in the drum department, and he is inevitably a little apprehensive in his heart.
"If you like it, tomorrow someone will send you some." Li Yuan said.
Just as Li Shimin nodded, Li Yuan's topic changed again: "Is this tea soup transparent?" However, if you stir it with bamboo chopsticks, the tea foam that sinks at the bottom of the cup will gush up, and it will suddenly be turbid like sewage.
Now that Pharmacist Li has destroyed the Turks, the world is quiet. My Tang Dynasty looks down on the Turks, just like looking at the tea soup in the cup, which is extremely clear, but if there is this 'bamboo chopsticks' stirring, then what does the Turks look like? ”
After that, he pinched out a bamboo chopstick in the chopstick barrel of the stone table and stirred the tea soup in front of him, which was instantly obscure, not like javascript: the front was clear.
Li Shimin's face changed.
