Last night, the family chatted about family life, which added a bit of cheesiness to the strict and cold appearance of the imperial city, and the parents in the Taiji Hall were short, and the happy laughter of the family dispersed a lot of coldness, and even the guards at the door had a slight smile on their faces.

Li De finished freshening up and came to Li Shimin's Lizheng Palace. I walked directly to the study without a report, and saw Li Er pounced on the case, and the official documents as high as a hill were piled up on the desk, it seemed that Li Er had already started working, and he was worthy of being a diligent emperor, anyway, he loved to be an idle prince, but he didn't do this kind of worrying about national political affairs every day, and there were a lot of documents sent for approval, what is the difference between a humanoid stamp.

Li Er saw him coming and said happily: "Third child, you are here, come and sit down." ”

Li De replied, "Second brother, seeing that you are so diligent, should I say that you are a good emperor, or that you are a hard worker." ”

"You kid, I vowed to be a good emperor, how can I do it if I don't work hard, those officials may have problems if they don't keep an eye on it." Li Er said helplessly.

"Second brother, do you know how Zhuge Liang died? Can Sima Yi know? ”

"Nonsense, how could Zhuge Wuhou not know that he died of illness, just at the time of his last Northern Expedition, and Sima Yi also died of illness, but he should be regarded as a good death. His son also usurped the state of Wei and established the Jin dynasty. ”

"What I want to say is that Zhuge Liang, although he was praised by the world for his loyalty, his talent, and his extraordinary achievements, he had the insight to gold and pressed Liu Bei, a hidden dragon, but I think he had two fatal injuries, and they were also an important factor in the demise of Shu Han." Li De said.

"Oh. Why did the third brother teach me? ”

"The first point, although Zhuge Liang himself is amazingly talented, he also has the common problem of genius, that is, he is arrogant and arrogant, and he likes to go against the sky to show his skills to the world. His pride lies in the fact that he Zhuge Liang is unwilling to take refuge in Cao Cao, the largest prince at that time, and Cao Cao, who roughly occupies the entire north, and is not willing to assist Sun Quan, who is a feudal territory, because he only wants to be a minister and not one of the ministers, and the lord he wants to serve must take him as a confidant, consult him in everything, and listen to his opinions, which is called special, and at that time Cao Cao was dominant in the north, and his ministers were like rain, and the fierce generals were like clouds. has the air to swallow the world, and he may not be reused by Cao Cao when he goes. Sun Quan has the Yangtze River in the southeast of An, which can be safe, and his command is also full of talents, Jiangdong Twelve Tiger Ministers, as well as Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and other resourceful people, Zhuge Liang also saw through one point that Sun has no enterprising heart. In the end, Liu Bei was selected to choose only that Liu Bei had no strategists around him, and he did have a good reputation and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other fierce generals, Liu Bei's thick and black shameless secret characteristics of the hero, so he voted for Liu Bei, let him add wings to the tiger, occupy Jingzhou to seize Xichuan, and then get a glimpse of the Chinese artifact, this vision and ability can be compared with Zhang Liang and Fan Li. But he is also the driving force behind dragging the nation into the abyss. ”

Li Er was puzzled and asked, "Third child, why do you say that?" ”

"Second brother, you are the emperor. Let's look at this from another angle, if Zhuge Liang defected to the strongest at that time. Cao Cao, who has the most outstanding ability and the most opportunity to dominate the world, not Liu Bei, but there will still be the defeat of Cao Cao's Chibi, will there be three kingdoms, and will there be five chaotic China? It is precisely because Zhuge Liang or these scumbags like Zhuge Liang all like to be mavericks and do not take the usual path, which directly or indirectly led to the fact that the unification of China could have been completed early, so that the people could have lived without war 40 years earlier, and they could have retained more of the elite and inheritance of our Han nation, which was dragged on for decades, resulting in the Han population not being one in ten, the Han nation has been fighting for a long time, and the elites have been killed and injured, while the various ethnic groups on the grassland are recuperating, so that the Central Plains was weakened later. The various tribes of the grassland took advantage of the situation. caused a tragedy of chaos and chaos. Because of his autocracy, Shu Han was autocratic after Liu Bei's death, and because Shu Han was weak and Wei was strong, he had to choose to launch the Northern Expedition by attacking instead of defending the national strength, and it was precisely because of this that Shu Han slowly exhausted his national strength and died. Liu Chan had to choose to surrender, not because he was incompetent but because he was unable to return to the sky, and the national strength of Shu Han had long been exhausted with Liu Bei's defeat in Jiangdong and Zhuge Liang's many northern expeditions. Even if there were no defeats, Zhuge Liang's vain attempt to carry Cao Wei, who was backed by the entire Central Plains, with the power of a state, was also against the sky. ”

Li Eryi listened to a little pondering and immediately combined to the present, "We have also experienced the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, it is the chaos in the world, our Li family can sit on this country today under the leadership of my father, when the Tang Dynasty was founded, we were also with Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Xue Ju, Nanliang and other anti-king infighting, and the Turks on the grassland have been cultivating their voices, repeatedly invaded Guanzhong, Youzhou, plundered our population resources, and when I Tang ruled the world, the population of the whole country was only less than two million households, only a quarter of the Sui Dynasty, now Hebei, Shandong is also uninhabited for hundreds of miles, and the third brother is indeed right. If it weren't for the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, I wouldn't have had to be forced to have no way out by the Turks, so I could only pinch my nose and sign a humiliating alliance under the city, and I had been preparing for three years just to use troops against the Turks. to brush up the shame. ”

"So, second brother, we have to repair the internal affairs, let the people live in peace, pacify the country, and have the ability to carry out foreign wars, then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also has the accumulation of the Wenjing and Jing dynasties to fight the Xiongnu can not find the north, and finally can only move west, we have to do better than him, we must first settle the inside, but the preliminary preparation is also indispensable." Li De said with a righteous face.

Li Er urged: "Okay, third brother, then there is still a little bit, you can say it quickly." ”

"This second point is related to the second brother, you are so diligent in government, that is, everything is bowed to you, big and small, in the end it is destined to be empty, the charm of power is inextricable, but we must not be captured by the right, Zhuge Liang achieved his dream to realize the dedication, became a minister, but he did not take on the responsibility of being the prime minister of a country, I am not saying that he is not suitable, but he did not have the consciousness of being a prime minister, and did not cultivate a successor while enjoying the rights, laying the foundation for the long-term sustainable development of the country, and he did not delegate power, In the end, he bowed to everything and tired himself to death, second brother, think about it, Zhuge Liang controls the government alone, and even asks him to see petty theft, so is this prime minister doing too much, he has done everything alone, others don't have to do anything, and he takes the country's money for nothing, and he can't make a decision if he has nothing to do, how to ensure the efficiency of the court, and the officials of all sizes can't get the exercise of political affairs, how to deal with it effectively when there is something? In the end, he himself was tired to death, and there was no useful successor, all said that the plum blossom fragrance came from the bitter cold, how could he have an experience if he didn't experience it, so I said that Zhuge Liang's second point is dictatorship, not delegating power, not using officials, not cultivating talents, if he will delegate power, only deal with national affairs that require him to make decisions, the officials below will be trained, and slowly there will be talents to stand out, and there will be no talents in the late Shu Han Dynasty, only Jiang Wei alone is struggling to support,. People of insight will not defect to the situation of the Shu Han court, and there is also a joke that there is no general Liao Hua as a pioneer in Shu, on the other hand, Cao Wei, Cao Cao has been implementing an eclectic reduction of talents, and Cao Wei has a large number of talents in the later period, Biqiu Jian, Wen Qin, Zhong Hui, Deng Ai, Wen Yang, and that Sima Yi's family are all talents, and finally destroyed Shu and Wu to dominate the world. ”

"Second brother, you can be regarded as both civil and military, most of the land of the Tang Dynasty was defeated by you, and there are also a large number of civil and military generals under your command, you should delegate power, your subordinates are plotting to be decided, are the eighteen bachelors all decorations? Why don't you put them together and let them handle their own business, and if you can't make a decision, you can decide to send it to you, wouldn't it be better?"

Li Eryi patted his thigh and stood up: "That's right, third brother, you have given me a good attention, let them come up with a deal of advice first, I just need to choose a major comment, so that not only do I not have to be so tired, but they can also feel my trust in entrusting state affairs, it is not difficult for this monarch and minister to be suitable, hehe,"

Li De said, "That's not it, I must say that you are a generation of Ming Jun, and other talents will come to you one by one, and at that time, do you have a feeling that the world's talents are in my urn?"

Li Er was surprised: "You know I will say that, haha"

Li De said again, "I guess, you will arrange for a few of them to set up a department, and then let them handle their own official affairs, the minority obeys the majority, and if they are undecided, they will report to you for instructions, right?"

"You kid, it's really a roundworm in my stomach, I guessed it, you can do it, what are you guessing what is the name, what is the name of the official?" Li Shimin looked at Li De with a look of disbelief you can guess and waited for him to say.

"What's so difficult about this, it must be called the cabinet, the prime ministers are all at the same level, and the back of the cabinet can add a title of the same Zhongshu under the Pingzhangshi, what I said can be right" Li De squeezed his eyes and thought that he didn't know if it would be written in the history books in the future. "In later TV dramas, I often hear the three products under the door of Tongzhongshu, and I am domineering when I listen to it, and I drag it very much, if any big official doesn't have the title of the latter, he is embarrassed to say that he is a big official, hehe.

Li Er laughed and said: "Okay, can you bear it, it seems that you have indeed changed a lot, at least you won't say these things before, you know that you practice martial arts and fight, it seems that heaven treats me Li Shimin well, not only to bring you back to life, but also to have Jingxiu, with you to help me, big things can be expected." ”

"By the way, you said Zhuge , there is also a Sima here, you hurry up and tell me, what are the characteristics of Sima Yi?"

Li De said with an unhappy face, "I've been in for so long, I don't give a cup of water, after saying so much, my throat is hoarse, let's drink a cup of white water first, don't want tea, I can't stand your tea, I'll give you a whole one when I'm free, let you see what it means to drink tea." ”

"Ho, you kid picked up the shelf for me, okay, Liu San, where did you die, and you didn't give my old third end of water to quench your thirst." Li Shimin scolded with a smile

Li Shimin's personal eunuch Liu San smiled bitterly and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the old slave sees that you have a very happy conversation with the prince, and it is not easy to disturb, so I will serve it to the prince." ”
