After entering Chang'an and stabilizing the situation in Guanzhong, Li Yuan felt that it was very easy and set up Yang Yu as the emperor, and Li Yuan also felt that this matter was not as difficult as he imagined. Yes, many people deny themselves before others deny them. That's not right. The right thing is to do whatever you want to do, do your best to do it, and find a way to solve a problem when you encounter it, instead of worrying about the sky and sighing. Li Yuan explained this truth with his practical actions.

For the current Li Yuan, most people think that it should be the time when the spring breeze is proud, he risked his life and finally hit Chang'an, and the emperor is also in his own hands, now he is unhappy, when will he be proud?

However, Li Yuan didn't think so, although he was a very beautiful and magnificent minister. No matter what kind of scenery, what kind of style is not as good as being an emperor himself, Li Yuan is a very realistic person, he always likes to find the easiest way to do things, to achieve the most affordable purpose.

Li Yuan has never dared to forget his dream for a day, because the rebellion is too dangerous and dangerous, even if there are very good talents to assist him, even after risk assessment, he has a great chance of winning.

But Li Yuan was still very worried, worried that one day, his head would be cut off by others, worried that he would hear the news of the defeat, and worried that Liu Wuzhou and the Turks would attack his lair...... He was worried about a lot of things, he was under a lot of pressure, and under such pressure, Li Yuan still persevered, because he firmly believed that his dream could come true. No matter how full of thorns the road to chasing his dreams is, no matter how many bumps lie ahead, he always believes that tomorrow will be better. He always believed that he could reach the other side of his dreams.

The dream supported Li Yuan to go on until the end of the right. Li Yuan's dream can be called "ambition". This way you will be more familiar. Does it have anything to do with dreams and ambitions? There is a relationship, and there is a lot of relationship. In the West, ambition and dreams are one word (abitin). In China, it is actually the same meaning, but one represents a positive meaning and the other means a derogatory meaning. Why is this so? I can only answer with the breadth and depth of Chinese culture, because I can't find any other answer.

Now Li Yuan is only one step away from his dream, as long as this step passes, Li Yuan will win, and the suffering and torture he suffered before are worth it; Whoever bets on him is also successful. This step is not far away, though. But it's hard to get through.

Because there's something in the way of it -- reason. Give everyone and the people of the world a reason for you to be the emperor. Li Yuan is now lacking such a reason. Maybe some people don't understand, why do you have to have a reason? Wouldn't it be enough to pull Yang Yu down from the dragon chair, and then Li Yuan to sit on it? If you ask like this, it means that you don't understand politics.

Politics requires a reason, that is, an excuse. For example, if you go to a person's house to pick up something, you have to tell him that you are here to borrow something or that the thing is yours. This is the excuse, even if it is fake, you have to say, otherwise you are a robber. On the technical process dù. Being an emperor is much higher than being a robber, of course, there must be a good excuse, the more perfect the better.

Of course. If you don't want the country you built to be able to develop normally for a long time, you don't need a good excuse. After all, you're just thinking about being an emperor, not trying to build a great dynasty.

If you want to have an addiction. As long as you have someone in your hands, a guy, a territory, and at the same time you also have the ambition to be the emperor, and then pick an auspicious day of the zodiac to ascend the throne as the emperor, and by the way, then crown your own Lao Tzu as the emperor (there is no merit and hard work, is it easy to give birth to you and raise you so big), the wife is the emperor (she has been in the same boat with herself for so many years, and she is the only one who has never left her), and the son is the prince (after all, it is his own flesh and blood, and it is better to pass the throne to him than an outsider to be the emperor), in a word, one person has the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. But I think that such an emperor will not last long, and to put it mildly, you are the king. …

On the other hand, you're a thief. The world is so big, any profession is easy to do, it is not easy to do the anti-thief, not to mention the risk, if you are not careful, the excuse of the government is bad, you may become the enemy of the whole world, your own generals may surrender, and then ask for leniency, for yourself in addition to disappearing forever in the world, the other way is to negotiate with Lord Yama.

As I said before, Li Yuan is a smart person and an excellent political family, in his time, there are really few people who can be called a political family, too many people think they are a very good political family, and then they are quietly beaten on the ground by political enemies, saying to themselves, it is not my fault that God wants to kill me.

The appearance of a smart person is that he will not do loss-making business, and the behavior of the excellent politician is to be cunning and calculating. Li Yuan calculated, now to be the emperor, no matter what, he is not suitable, all he can do now is to wait, wait for an opportunity to come, use this opportunity to change a good excuse for himself, an excuse to fool the people of the world, and he can use this excuse to be an emperor.

Because Li Yuan didn't want to just live the addiction of being an emperor, but to establish a great dynasty, even if he didn't know how great it was, he would pass on the throne to his children and grandchildren.

I believe that in the depths of his heart, he should not only have strategy, interests and power, but also have a responsibility to the people of the world, that is, the so-called taking the world as his own responsibility. Only people with a heart can think of the world, and people without a heart cannot think of the world, let alone stand out in the competition, and then unify the world and establish an empire.

I have always believed that Li Yuan was the first contributor to the establishment of the Li Tang Dynasty, and I believed it before, I believe it now, and I will believe it tomorrow. When reading history books, I saw a lot of things in Li Yuan, which others did not have, including Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Xiao Mi, Xue Ju, Li Rail, Du Fuwei, Liu Wuzhou, of course, Liu Wenjing, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin (the current Li Shimin and Li Yuan are not at the same level).

I really don't dare to erase Li Shimin's achievements, but I dare not erase Li Yuan's contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty and the early years of the Tang Dynasty. I believe that history is made by the eyes. There are some things that will not be written in the history books, or they will be written. It was then deleted; There are also many erroneous records in the history books, which are used to confuse and fool later generations.

But the truth of history can be found between the lines of history books. Some things are often covered up, and the more he covers, the clearer we become, and this is the eye of history. The eyes of history will not be actively seen by us, we can only find it ourselves.

Li Yuan knew that the opportunity would come sooner or later. Li Yuan didn't know what this opportunity was, and he didn't know what form this opportunity would take, but he knew that as a politician, he had a high degree of political sensitivity. As long as the opportunity arises, no matter what form it takes, Li Yuan believes that he can grasp it. This is not conceit, but a kind of self-confidence after watching the vicissitudes of life and going through the changes of the world.

Li Yuan is no longer young now, and his sons have grown into young heroes, more than half a hundred years old, which is the right year for today's people. But for the ancients, they have entered the ranks of the elderly. In the past thirty years, Li Yuan had been in the officialdom of the Sui Dynasty and had met everyone. I've experienced everything. In the past, when he saw injustice, he was also impulsive; He was also angry when he saw the dark side of this society before; In the past, I felt more and more helpless about reality. He was also grieved.

Later, he was no longer impulsive. He wasn't angry, he wasn't grieving. Because after going through a lot. After suffering a lot of setbacks and suffering, he knew that impulsiveness, anger, and sadness were useless. Society does not change because of one person, and gradually he learns to change himself. …

Since then, he has a city, a scheming, a side that others don't understand, and he also feels as if he is approaching something, that kind of thing—the so-called "maturity". After many years, he trained himself to be a person who was invisible, and the city was very deep, and he didn't talk much, but he knew better than anyone else in his heart.

What others don't think, he can think; What others can't see, he can see; The less you know yourself, the more you understand others, the more you understand society, is this maturity -- the so-called maturity?

What Li Yuan has trained in the officialdom for 30 years is exactly what Li Shimin lacks. Li Shimin is now in the stage of impulsiveness, anger, and sadness, and if he goes further, he is only thinking about it, and he can't reach Li Yuan's level at all. So it was not Li Shimin who led Li Yuan, but Li Yuan who led Li Shimin.

Maybe the later Li Shimin was much better than Li Yuan, but I think Li Yuan, as the founding emperor, was just as good. I can't give a definite answer to this question, I answer it with this sentence. Each person has his own different life trajectory, and each era has its own background of the times, which cannot be generalized, although Li Yuan and Li Shimin are father and son, the difference is only a few decades, and this is also the case. That's all I can say.

In Jiangdu, Yang Guang was murdered by Yu Wenshi and others, this colorful emperor finally finished his life, shortly before his death, he had looked in the mirror, touched his neck and asked his queen: "Such a good head, I don't know who will cut it." ”

Therefore, Yang Guang had already predicted a long time ago that he would die one day sooner or later, Yang Guang was very smart, and his prediction was not wrong. In the early morning of March 11 in the first year of Wude (618, the year name of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan), Yang Guang ended his life. When the news reached Chang'an, Li Yuan clearly realized that this was the opportunity he had been waiting for. Li Yuan told sù that he must grasp it.

Becoming an emperor is not a distant thing, but before becoming an emperor, Li Yuan still has to act in two plays. Sometimes I think that China's high-level government is a stage, and every day there are all kinds of dramas, some comedy, some tragedies, some succeeding, some failing. The winning side plays comedy, and the losing side plays tragedy.

Successful people make a lot of money, and it is possible to completely change the trajectory of their lives (like Li Yuan, who became an emperor); The loser loses his fortune, and it is also possible to completely change the trajectory of his life (like Yang Yu, who has changed from an emperor to a prisoner, of course, he is very helpless about this change).

Despite this, the lives of the common people still have to be lived, and the high-level political dramas still have to be performed, and it is not okay not to act, who makes some people believe in this set? In the first scene, Li Yuan cried, sobbing and heartbroken, expressing his condolences, sympathy, and reluctance to Yang Guang.

I believe that this is not Li Yuan's true thoughts in his heart, there is no mourning and sympathy, and reluctance is used to deceive people. How else can it be said to be acting?

For Li Yuan, he just cried, and howled a few words of mourning by the way. There is nothing to lose, and there are some tears to be lost. cried hoarsely, which is nothing to professional actor Li Yuan. Whoever asked us to act, we have to act in place. On the other hand, Li Yuan gained a lot of things, far more than he lost, or else, Li Yuan is a smart person who never deals at a loss.

The people of the whole world said that the king of Tang cried Yang Guang. The king of Tang is a loyal minister, the loyalty of the king of Tang can be shown to the sun and the moon, the king of Tang is benevolent and righteous, the king of Tang will treat the people well, and the army of the king of Tang has never robbed the people...... In this way, Li Yuan's reputation reached its highest point after he cried for Yang Guang. Taking advantage of the fire has always had a fine tradition in China. Strike while the iron is hot, and it is also very marketable in China. The first play was finished. Li Yuan immediately directed the second play. …

I have to admire Li Yuan's acting skills and talent, and the continuous battles one after another, I am afraid that even Nortel's top students have to say a word to admire Li's predecessors. Our admiration for Mr. Li's predecessors is like a surging river

The second scene. The first to appear was not Li Yuan, but Li Yuan's good partner and good buddy. Our old friend, Mr. Pei Lian. Pei Lin is not good at fighting, and Pei Lin is not good at making plans. But Pei Lin is not the kind of straw bag who eats nothing and can't do anything. Facts have proved that Pei Lin still has a talent that is incomparable to others in pushing the boat along the river.

Initially, in Taiyuan, Pei Lin was the one who pushed Li Yuan to rebel, and now in Chang'an, Pei Lin will also complete a great task, which is enough to make him enter the annals of history - to push Li Yuan as emperor. Moreover, Pei Lin thus enjoyed the high-ranking officials and was a very popular minister, which was difficult for others to match, Pei Lin used facts to explain that pushing the boat down the river is a useful knowledge, a very useful knowledge. Pei Lian, this buddy is not only a master of pushing boats along the river, but also a good hand at pulling people.

Pei Lin pulled more than 2,000 people together to persuade Li Yuan to become the emperor, after all, Yang Guang is dead, Yang Yu is still a child, if your old man doesn't come forward to be the emperor, what can this country do? What about Li Yuan's reaction? At that moment, Li Yuan withdrew all the concertans of the ministers, and said, "I know what you are going to do." And then what?

And then it was gone, neither saying yes nor saying no. This has created a problem for the minister, what should we do tomorrow, whether to continue to persuade, or pull down, go home and sleep, what does this Tang Wang want to do? Obviously, he wants to be the emperor, but he is embarrassed.

Since he knew that Tang Wang was embarrassed, he had to continue to go up until Tang Wang was embarrassed to refuse. Others may not understand what's going on, but Pei Lin must understand, if Li Yuan is the director of this play plus the number one male, Pei Lin should be the assistant director and the second male.

(What about Yang Yoo?) To put it mildly, this guy is a dispensable character now, barely a supporting role) The next day, Pei Lin led people to follow up and said a very important sentence: "If your old man is not the emperor, we will collectively pick on the son and stop doing it." Seeing such a scene, Li Yuan smiled with relief, isn't it just acting? You are really devoted, let's do it one last time tomorrow, we will finish this play, and the red envelope is indispensable to you.

On the third day, Pei Lin led people to come again, as soon as he entered the door, Li Yuan could guess what they said, and what is your old man's expectation, and the people of the whole world are waiting for you to save it, what can we do if your old man is not the emperor? What can the people of the world do?

You don't have to think about yourself, you have to think about the people of the whole world. Li Yuan is like a saint who has only been born once in thousands of years, if he is not the emperor, the ministers will have to commit suicide. In the end, Li Yuan reluctantly agreed for the sake of the people, not for himself, but for all the people in the world, and for you ministers to continue to work for the government.

The play is finally over and finished. Li Yuan smiled very proudly, the ministers also smiled obscenely, the other princes gritted their teeth and stared, and the common people watched speechlessly. On May 20 of the first year of Wude (618 AD), Li Yuan ascended the throne as the emperor in the Taiji Palace, sacrificed to heaven and earth, granted amnesty to the world, and changed the name of the year to Wude.

The Tang Dynasty was formally established. Li Yuan would not have imagined that the Tang Dynasty he founded would become one of the greatest dynasties in Chinese history; Li Yuan would not have thought that the Chinese people living on the land of China would be inextricably linked with the word "Tang"; Li Yuan would not have imagined that in the long years to come, the people would multiply from generation to generation, and the word "Tang" would always be imprinted in their hearts.

"Tang" is no longer just a Chinese character, but a symbol, symbolizing prosperity, prosperity, strength, might, benevolence, and generosity...... Once again, the great power stands tall in the east of the world, starting with Li Yuan.

Although Li Yuan gained a firm foothold in Chang'an, he did what he wanted to do, and successfully fulfilled his dream of becoming an emperor. However, ordinary people always have to bump and bump into their neighbors to get by, not to mention a dishonest neighbor on the stall, the two sides have to learn from each other (fight to see who is the boss), Li Yuan is a not very honest neighbor - Xue Ju. (To be continued......)
