Li Shimin stretched out his hand to take the secret letter presented by Xiao De and said to Empress Changsun with a smile: "I don't know what to report this time, last time they actually reported that Yuanqing, the eldest son of Wu Shi Tong, met Xianyuan in a dream, and followed the immortals to study and live for decades, and when he woke up from the dream, he found that it was only one night. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Yuanqing explained to his mother Yang that Zhuang Zhou dreamed of Butterfly Butterfly and dreamed of Zhuang Zhou. However, although this matter sounds nonsense, but the secret letter said that Wu Yuanqing has made a lot of delicacies since that day, which is also strange, is it really immortal."

When the eldest grandson heard this, he pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer. She knew that her husband was just telling her about it as a joke to herself, not asking her opinion.

At this time, Li Shimin really didn't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, originally, if he really believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, he would not have done anything to kill his brother and force his father to abdicate. You must know that any of these things are great rebellions, and if there are really ghosts and gods, then they will definitely be punished by heaven, and they will go to eighteen layers of hell. How can it be his turn to be the emperor?

In the old Tang Dynasty book Taizong Benji, it is recorded that the courtiers said on the afternoon of December in the first year of Zhenguan: "The gods and immortals are vain and have empty names." Qin Shi Huang was not divided into hobbies, so he was deceived by the monks, but sent thousands of boys and women to follow Xu Fu into the sea to seek immortal medicine, and the monks avoided Qin's cruelty, because they did not return. The first emperor hesitated on the side of the sea, and died in the sand dunes. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to seek immortals, but married a woman to a Taoist man, and when there was no test, he was killed. According to these two things, the gods are not bothered to ask for it. ”

Generally speaking, Tang Taizong said to the ministers of the attendants: "This kind of thing is nothing, and there is no such thing as such a name." Qin Shi Huang had this non-dividing desire to like immortal arts, so he was deceived by Fang Shi, and sent thousands of boys and women to follow Xu Fu into the sea to seek immortal medicine, Fang Shi in order to avoid the first emperor's harsh tyranny, so he stayed overseas and did not come back The first emperor wandered on the beach waiting for them, and died of illness in the sand dunes on the way back. In order to obtain immortals, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty actually married his daughter to a Taoist man, and their statement did not work, so he killed the monks. Judging from these two things, immortals can't ask for anything. ”

While laughing, Li Shimin opened the secret letter, looked at it fixedly, and was immediately taken aback, and couldn't help shouting "Ah" in his mouth.

The eldest grandson hurriedly stepped forward and asked nervously, "Second brother, what's wrong?"

Li Shimin was stunned and did not react, and the eldest grandson couldn't care about the fact that the harem could not interfere in politics and might involve confidential matters, so he reached out and took the letter from the emperor's hand to check it, and saw the emperor's performance, the eldest grandson was already fully mentally prepared, but he was still taken aback by what was written in the letter.

I saw that it was written: "Ying Guogong's eldest son, Yuan Qing, recently opened the land in the small courtyard of his home for spring ploughing, and planted unknown seeds in the ground. His mother asked what it was. Yuan Qing said to his mother: "Overseas things, edible, one is corn, the yield per mu is less than four or five stones, more than seven or eight stones, one is called potatoes and other yam eggs, the yield per mu is better than the former, less than seven or eight stones, more than ten stones." There are several other species that do not know what they are called, and it is said that the yield is also amazing. It is reported that it was a former Sui Dynasty soldier named Wang Wu, who was brought back from overseas after a few years of trekking, and Wang Wu now lives in the Wu family. ”

"This, this, this" The eldest grandson stammered in shock, "Second brother, is this true?" “

Li Shimin also reacted from the shock, and when he heard the words of the eldest grandson, he said in a deep voice: "It's hard to say whether it's true or not, but it's certain that these words were said by the son of Wu Shi Tong himself, otherwise Baiqi would not have said this." “

"Since the son of the warrior said this, there should be a high probability that it is true," the eldest grandson said in a trembling voice. Both hands reached over and hugged Li Shimin's arm, as if he would not be able to stand unsteady and would slip to it.

"Guanyin, my head is also a little cloudy now. Do you say that there is really such an amazing yield of grain per mu in the world, if there is no reason why it is not in our Datang, even the surrounding other countries have not heard of it. The letter said that Wu Yuanqing said that it was an overseas thing, could it really be that there are overseas immortal mountains, did this son of Wu Shi Tong really meet the immortals in a dream, immortals, does it really exist" Li Shimin muttered to himself, not knowing where he thought of it.

The eldest grandson shook Li Shimin's arm vigorously, pulling him back from the delusion that was getting farther and farther away: "Second brother, second brother, it's uncertain whether the immortals exist or not, and it doesn't matter, what matters now is whether these things are really such high-yield grains, and this letter also said that a person named Wang Wu brought it back from overseas and was discovered by Wu Yuanqing." I think the fairy theory should be unreliable."

Li Shimin stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and laughed at himself slightly: "Guanyin, it's my face." It seems that my concentration is still not enough. The fairy is the flower in the moon mirror in the water, and it can't be touched or touched, and it shouldn't be something I should think about too much. ”

took a deep breath, and then spit out a long time, clearing his mind for a while, and then Li Shimin said again: "I was so excited that I couldn't help myself when I only read the one in front of me just now, and I didn't see the last sentence." My concentration is not as good as Guanyin's maid you, hehe. According to the last sentence, regardless of whether these things are really as productive as Wu Yuanqing said, at least they were not taken out by Wu Yuanqing, but by the hands of this Wang Wu. In this case, at least it will not be an ethereal immortal statement, but it is well documented. As long as people check Wang Wu's past and the path he came back, they can know whether what Wu Yuanqing said is credible. “

"Well, what the second brother said is," Empress Eldest Sun nodded vigorously and agreed.

Xiao De, who was standing outside the hall, was called in, Li Shimin made some arrangements, and Xiao De was ordered to go out.

Li Shimin stretched out his hand to hug the eldest grandson, rested his chin lightly on the eldest grandson's head, sniffed the fragrance in his hair, and whispered.

The eldest grandson also hugged Li Shimin's waist with his backhand and listened.

Li Shimin's voice was very low, and the eldest grandson held his breath, only then did he know what he was muttering: "Really, it must be true, if it is true, as long as it is true, I will definitely be a good emperor who has never been seen before or since, and I must be a better emperor than my father, so that the Tang Dynasty will be inherited for thousands of years." “。

Hearing this like an oath, more like a prayer, the eldest grandson's nose was sore, and his eyes instantly moistened.

She knows best how much pressure her husband is under as a pillow person who has followed him since she was a teenager. Who doesn't want to be the emperor, his husband naturally wants to be, and he did work hard and succeeded, but it doesn't mean that everything will be fine if he gets the throne, his husband is a person with great talents, a person with lofty ambitions, and a person who wants to go down in history forever and shine for a thousand years.

Killing his brother and snatching his father's throne is a mess of the norm, and he will be infamous by being scolded by the whole world.

With these stains, his husband, the man in front of him, wants to realize his ambitions and ideals, and he must do better than other emperors in history, and better than his father, so that his efforts are worth it.

Do a good job, so that the people can live a good life, needless to say, killing brothers and forcing their fathers to abdicate can only be regarded as flaws.

If you don't do it well, let the people live in dire straits, and the people will turn into fire, and these stains on him will be fire oil, which will burn him to death on the frame of shame and make him stink for 10,000 years, just like Emperor Yang of Sui in the previous dynasty.

Now, it is possible that several amazing food crops with high yields will emerge. If this is true, it is God's blessing, even God is helping her husband, and her husband is the emperor's destiny, and the monarch's power is divinely granted. From the perspective of etiquette, it proves the legitimacy of the husband's throne.

The most important thing is that what is more important than feeding the people and making the country more stable.

No, isn't the last goal pursued by the emperors who have made achievements in the past is such a simple but unattainable goal?

Guan Zhong, a famous politician in the Spring and Autumn Period, ruled the country "Guanzi Herdsman": "If the country has more wealth, those who are far away will come, and the land will be left in ****, and the warehouse will know the etiquette, and the food and clothing will know the honor and disgrace."

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong said that governing the country is nothing more than this, so that people have surplus food at home, the granary is full, and they have no worries about food and clothing, then people will naturally know and understand these things. If people can't even guarantee basic food and clothing, they will starve to death, how can they still have the mood to manage these things.

In the face of famine, it was common to change children and eat, and at that time, ethics and morality, etiquette, honor and disgrace were not.

This is just like the so-called spiritual civilization construction in later generations, which can only be carried out when the material civilization has reached a certain level, otherwise a person is running around for three meals every day, and he is hungry, and it is strange if you talk about spiritual civilization to others, and you don't let people shave your ears and whip you.

"No, it's just that it doesn't make much sense to check Wang Wu, what matters now is whether this matter is true, and the key person in this matter is Wu Yuanqing, and the horseshoe is also given to him by his son after he made it." Li Shimin suddenly said in a deep voice.

"Then second brother, do you want to send someone to check on Wu Yuanqing," Empress Changsun asked.

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "The investigation must be investigated, but it cannot be investigated in a big way, and when it is not confirmed whether these grains are really so high-yielding, it is not appropriate for too many people to know." Moreover, Wu Yuanqing's dream of meeting the fairy fate was said as a joke at the court meeting when the warrior Tong presented the horseshoe before. If the ministers who don't know the truth know that I want to investigate Wu Yuanqing, if I can't get it right, I will say that I am obsessed with immortal arts and immortal arts. ”

"Second brother, aren't you going to let Cheng Qian go to the Jin Temple to preside over the ceremony to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Taiyuan Rebellion, it is in July, and it will be about a month before the harvest of crops, just so that Cheng Qian can see with his own eyes how the output of these grains is."

"Haha, yes, why didn't I think of it, Guanyin is worthy of being my virtuous helper" Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "However, it is not appropriate to investigate the matter of Wu Yuanqing and hand it over to Cheng Qian, Cheng Qian is young and can't handle this matter, so let Wei Chi Jingde escort him, Wen Yanbo, the right concubine of the prince, and Xue Yuanjing, the prince's servant." ordered Lieutenant Chi Jingde to secretly verify the matter."
