Li Chun had no experience of his grandfather's humiliation, so he could not speak of his dislike and hatred for the Uighurs; Under the leadership of Li Chun, although the Tang Empire improved, it did not completely recover its decline, the powerful three towns of Hebei had not yet surrendered, and the threat of Tibet still existed. Therefore, the ministers couldn't think of a reason for Li Chun's refusal even if they thought about it; It is precisely because of this that the prime ministers are very confident, confident that they can persuade Li Chun as they persuaded Li Shi back then.

Li Jiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, talked endlessly about "the harmony of the ancients, there are five benefits and no money in the day", hoping to persuade Li Chun like Li Mi back then. But he ignored the fact that he was not Li Yu, and Li Chun was not Li Shi.

Li Chun smiled sarcastically, listened absentmindedly to the ministers' talk, and suddenly asked a puzzling question: "Recently, I heard that there is a minister who writes very good poetry, but his surname is rare, I don't know who this person is?" "The ministers were asked and had to speculate." Is it a bun? Li Chun shook his head; Cold Chaoyang? Li Chun still shook his head and chanted two lines of poetry: "A daughter may not be able to change her surname, and a promise will never be killed." "It's Rong Yu!" , the ministers suddenly realized.

This is a popular story, and the beginning of the story is beautiful and romantic. On a night when the breeze came slowly and the moon was in the sky, the down-and-out scholar Rong Yu was full of poetry in the breeze and bright moon, reciting his poems loudly. The breeze blew slowly, blowing the sound of his poetry next door, and into the ears of Li Kui, the official Gui observer, who was wandering in the courtyard. Li Kui stopped to listen, savored it, and couldn't help but admire, and pity for the talent spontaneously arose. As a result, the down-and-out scholar Rong Yu was hired as a staff member of Li Kui, the official Gui observer.

A few years later, Rong Yu "was proud of the spring breeze and saw all the Chang'an flowers in one day" and became a personable young jinshi. With a good future, full of talent, and handsome appearance, Li Kui made up his mind to marry his beautiful daughter to him, provided that Rong Yu had to change his surname, because the surname "Rong" is easy to make people have bad associations, such as "Xirong" and "Dog Rong".

Giving up his surname, Rong Yu will not only get a beautiful family, but also the full support of his father-in-law in the court, which is simply a relief in the snow for Rong Yu, who has no foundation. If he sticks to his surname, Rong Yu will get nothing. Where to go, in the face of temptation, Rong Yu is faced with a difficult choice.

In the face of temptation, different people have different choices, when the famous Shuyuan Wei Cong threw an olive branch of love to the dashable Yuan Zhen, Yuan Zhi resolutely abandoned Cui Yingying, who had sworn by the mountain, and threw himself into Wei Cong's arms without hesitation. But Rong Yu is not Yuan Zhen, so he chose to insist, insisted on his surname, and wrote down the two lines of the poem that have been recited through the ages, "A daughter may not be able to change her surname, and a promise will never be killed", and then drifted away.

Rong Yu has been dead for many years, and Li Chun suddenly mentioned him at this time, naturally not because of his good story, but because Rong Yu also wrote another poem called "Hefan": "In the history of the Han family, the plan is harmony." The community is based on the Lord, and the safety is entrusted to the woman. How can the jade look be easy to clean the dust? Underground thousand-year-old bones, who is an assistant minister. ”

After chanting Rong Yu's poem, Li Chun looked at his courtiers with a smile, and said word by word: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wei Jiang, the doctor of the Jin Kingdom, used the method of harmony, and you should follow suit, it is too cowardly." The ministers stopped their mouths and lowered their heads, and a smug smile crossed Li Chun's face, yes, Li Chun was very proud, because he not only borrowed Rong Yu's poem and mocked his courtiers a little, but also cleverly concealed the real reason for his refusal to propose marriage to the Uighurs.

Conquering Hehuang and then conquering the entire northwest, Li Chun buried this grand blueprint deep in his heart and did not mention it to anyone. In the eyes of the wise and domineering Li Chun, the three towns of Hebei, Huaixi, and Ziqing, which are powerful feudal towns in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, have long been in his pocket. His profound gaze has already gone up the river, and finally fixed in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, in the vast northwest, and in the Longyou River. Because it used to be the territory of the Tang Empire, there was the legacy of Zhenguan, and there was the hegemony of Kaiyuan. After sweeping the three towns of Hebei, the tiger and wolf army of the Tang Empire will move westward, pointing at the Uighurs and Tibetans entrenched in the Western Regions.

This is a positive and great idea, but Li Chun has never pronounced it in his mouth, let alone put it into words. Before putting it into practice, our Tang Dynasty Son Li Chun will never reveal his intentions, but carefully hides his true self in the clouds, showing the mystery of the true Dragon Son of Heaven. It is precisely because Li Chun has a positive and offensive attitude towards the strategic concept of Hehuang and even the entire northwest that he has a resolute opposition to the passive, passive, and pro-strategy.

But the proud Li Chun didn't know that the ministers who bowed their heads in front of him did not agree with his refusal to make peace, and at this time, what filled their hearts was not all shame, but also a trace of resentment and dissatisfaction that they did not dare to speak. Because they didn't understand Li Chun's true intentions, and they didn't want to understand them, they just intuitively felt that the young emperor in front of them was a little unreasonable, and even too arbitrary, they didn't like such an emperor! What they liked was the emperor who was obedient to them, and Li Chun was clearly not. At this moment when Li Chun was smiling, the differences and contradictions between the monarchs and ministers had quietly sprouted.
