Thinking that Her Royal Highness the princess didn't want to complain about her brother in front of her subordinates, Xue Lang asked: "This Liu Heimin has been defeated by King Qin once, so I think the momentum should be much worse than before, right?" ”

Princess Pingyang shook her head with a solemn expression: "No." There are two reasons why I expected Liu Heimin to attack Hebei and Henan. First, the Turks borrowed troops and Liu Heimin, there must be something to seek, Chang'an must be its goal, to destroy my Tang Dynasty, we must first take Chang'an, only need to take Chang'an, there will be anti-king self-reliance portals everywhere, then the Central Plains will not attack itself. ”

Xue Lang nodded, indeed, according to historical records, Liu Heimin only started in Hebei and Henan, and there were assassins in several states who rebelled in response to him.

Princess Pingyang continued: "Second, Liu Heimin is Dou Jiande's old department. Dou Jiande is benevolent and righteous, and has a very high reputation in Hebei and Henan, especially in Hebei. In addition, there are still many old departments of Dou Jiande, and Liu Heimin is fighting in the name of revenge for Dou Jiande. ”

The so-called one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Hebei is Liu Heimin's territory, and there are many supporters, so he naturally wants to occupy it. In this way, Liu Heimin's ability to cause such a big trouble to the newly built Tang Dynasty is actually Dou Jiande's legacy.

Speaking of which, after Dou Jiande's incident, there will be so many rebellions from Dou Jiande's old department, and the sage Li Yuan will bear most of the responsibility. Dou Jiande is one of the most prestigious and charismatic among the many anti-kings.

Dou Jiande was able to share weal and woe with the soldiers, the soldiers were willing to work for him, he was loved by his subordinates, and there were many local scholars who supported him.

In order to save his friend Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande was defeated by Li Shimin, the king of Qin, in the battle of Tiger Pass, Li Shimin cherished his talents, admired his personality, and did not kill him, but captured him alive and sent him to Chang'an.

It's a pity that Li Yuan did something that was not very good at this time, and he ordered Dou Jiande to be executed.

From the perspective of the interests of the family and the country, with Dou Jiande's prestige, it is a great obstacle for him to keep the Tang Dynasty to truly recover Hebei and Henan, after all, if Dou Jiande rebels again one day, Hebei and Henan are simply his loyal supporters. Killing Dou Jiande was a choice that was beneficial to the imperial court.

However, this advantage was based on the fact that the imperial court was able to pacify Hebei and Henan. In these two places, there are still many old departments of Dou Jiande, not to mention, and there are many local scholars who have supported Dou Jiande. If these people are appeased, these two places can be regarded as the real recovery, and if they are not pacified, these two places will be unstable.

It is a pity that the Tang Dynasty did not do a good job of this pacification work. The officials sent may have seen the reason why Li Yuan ordered Dou Jiande to be killed, or maybe Li Yuan had instructions, in short, that guy went to Hebei, and to Dou Jiande's old subordinates, either he picked his nose and raised his eyes, or arrested people at will, and he had the meaning of settling accounts after the autumn.

Realistically speaking, Li Yuan was also a talented emperor, the Tang Dynasty was founded by him, and the political system of the Tang Dynasty, the laws implemented, etc., were all established in Li Yuan's hands and lasted for several generations.

However, throughout Li Yuan's reign, none of them had a good end for those anti-kings who were defeated by the Tang Dynasty, such as Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, etc. In dealing with these anti-king issues, Li Yuan's mind is obviously not as good as that of his second son Li Shimin.

The emperor on the other side is such a virtuous person, Dou Jiande's old subordinates are all masters of licking blood with a knife head, so they are naturally not willing to sit still, so there is a situation where Liu Heimin is reversed, and there are many followers and responders, which will make Liu Heimin make momentum. Otherwise, with Liu Heimin, a scoundrel who is addicted to alcohol and gambling, and even his father and brother hate him, where can there be such a prestige for so many people to respond, and the one who relies on it is just Dou Jiande's prestige.

Princess Pingyang is obviously clear about this matter, but it was her Aya who made this decision, and as a daughter, she didn't have much to talk about.

Xue Lang thought for a while and said, "Let's not talk about what the momentum of Liu Heimin's momentum can develop this time. Just say that the court, if it is still the king of Qin who leads the troops this time, there is no need to worry too much, if it is the prince's side that leads the troops, the situation in the court is only afraid of ......"

Xue Lang didn't finish the follow-up, anyway, Princess Pingyang could understand. Princess Pingyang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she sighed: "The person I am worried about is also this matter. The prince, the people and I are all compatriots of the same mother, and they are born from the same root, so why be too anxious to fry each other. If A-Niang is alive, how should she be heartbroken? ”

Xue Lang didn't know how to be relieved about this, he was speechless for a while, picked up the kettle, added some hot water to Princess Pingyang's tea bowl, and thought for a while: "My subordinates have encountered many problems in the past. My mom ...... It's A-Niang, a person who doesn't touch the spring water with her hands, cries when she sees the rain, and hurts the spring and autumn, she doesn't even know how much a pound of rice is in the market, and how much is a handful of vegetables. Growing up, my father was in charge of everything inside and outside the house. ”

Princess Pingyang was stunned, first glanced at Xue Lang in surprise, and then seemed to understand, her eyes were inexplicably warmer, her frowning brows spread out, and she said softly: "From a woman's point of view, Ling Zun is a good husband." ”

Xue Lang's eyes warmed, and he said, "Many people praise my father like this." Did I tell Your Highness? I also have a twin sister, and since I was a child, my father has handled the affairs of my siblings. When to start the enlightenment, when to go to school, where to go to school, what to learn extracurricular specialties, my mother has never worried, she only needs to go to her class, and she doesn't even have to worry about her own food, clothing, housing and transportation, because her father has to worry about it. ”

Princess Pingyang nodded, waiting for Xue Lang to continue.

Xue Lang took a sip of water and said: "A man has to be busy with work, family, and children, and people's energy is limited. Does Your Highness know what a vegetative person is? It is a person who has breathing and heartbeat like a normal person, but has lost consciousness and is in a deep coma. ”

After speaking, Xue Lang paused and continued: "Dad's fall is really a great disaster for us. That year, Xue Qing and I were fifteen years old, and we only knew how to go to school all day, and we didn't even know five points in the world. But because my mother was unreliable, the two of us could only start learning ignorantly, but even if we tried hard, my father was still declared brain dead by doctors, and there was no hope of healing and waking up. To add insult to injury, my mother was deceived! All the money in the family has been cheated out! My mother couldn't bear the blow and committed suicide. Xue Qing and I became orphans. ”

"Young Yang ......"

Princess Pingyang called, Xue Lang smiled, and said: "Since then, Xue Qing and I have suffered a lot, but I have also learned a truth, how can everything in this world be as expected!" All we can do is 'do our best and obey the destiny of God.'" Do what we can do, and God knows what will turn out in the end! ”

Princess Pingyang looked at Xue Lang with deep eyes, almost sighing: "Youyang, ......"

It seems that there is something unfinished. Xue Lang responded: "The subordinates are here." ”

Princess Pingyang said: "I know what you mean." Youyang is a friend, and Jianling is lucky! ”

Xue Lang laughed: "Actually, my subordinates think so too." ”

Princess Pingyang couldn't help but laugh "poof", and her depression dissipated.

Xue Lang also laughed, everyone has something sad, the difference is just the attitude towards the problem. After all, people still have to look forward, and when they encounter problems, they can't solve them...... Then we can only accept the facts.
