Chapter 22: Changle's Thoughts
readx;
After teaching Yuangai Mingdong a lesson, Duhe returned to the military camp outside the Saiwai. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Walking in the camp, I saw that the soldiers on the left and right had returned to normal, their eyes were no longer confused, and their hearts were happy.
He reunited with Ashina Sheer and Zhizhi in the big tent in the army.
The three of them chatted, and Du He talked about it.
Ashina Sheer, stubborn thinking force will elaborate on the results. As Duhe has seen, the effect is gratifying. In the face of the persuasion of the two generals, lobbying. Most of the soldiers, at first, couldn't figure it out, didn't understand. But when you think about it, you can figure out the key. It is an ironclad fact that the Eastern Turks are falling, and it is also an ironclad fact that they are being treated with courtesy by the Tang Dynasty. In this case, thinking about recovering the Eastern Turks is tantamount to betraying the Tang Dynasty and making enemies of the Tang Dynasty.
When they were in their heyday, they were not the opponents of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that now they only have tens of thousands of horses?
People who are not afraid of death, the people of the Eastern Turks are also people, and they are not willing to die innocently and tragically, in the face of the enthusiasm of the Tang Dynasty, few people can't figure it out. A few radicals also expelled Ashina Sheer and Insistence from the barracks, and the situation was very good.
Du He also breathed a sigh of relief, and if he continued at this pace, he believed that in a short time, the Eastern Turks would officially disappear into the torrent of history, and the subsequent betrayal would not happen.
He didn't stay in the military camp outside the Saiwai for long, and he was relieved to understand the general situation. Ashina Sheer, Zhi Sili's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, there is no doubt that with them handling this matter, they will definitely be able to succeed immediately.
After a short rest, Du He led the crowd south and returned to Chang'an.
They traveled through the straight road for half a month, and finally came to Chang'an, which had been lost for a long time.
Du He ordered the team under his command to disband, and sent someone to inform the three ladies of Changle, Li Xueyan, and Wu Meiniang, and let them go to the Cai Guogong Mansion to get together.
It was almost a convention, but Van Duho returned from a long journey. After the routine, the first thing to do was to return to Cai Guogong and meet his parents. This is not to say that the status of his wife in his heart is far inferior to his parents, but the filial piety that should be fulfilled by a child.
In Du He's heart, he agrees with a famous saying in Confucianism, "Filial piety comes first".
Li Shimin, as an emperor and a Ming monarch, can best understand the thoughts of his subordinates. Although he was eager to know what was happening in the north, he still reasoned and asked Du He to go home first, and said with a smile: "I have generally heard about the affairs in the north, which is very good. The virtuous son-in-law first went home to meet his family and get together with his family. When I came back to the palace in the evening, I had recently obtained a new recipe for winemaking, and I had a few jars of wine in a new way, and we had a good chat in the evening. ”
He had a kind smile on his face, and with such a capable courtier and such an excellent son-in-law, he really had no reason not to laugh.
Du He accepted Li Shimin's kindness and left the palace with a smile.
When I came to the Guogong Mansion and met my loved ones, I was a burst of joy.
Because of an old saying, there is no sorrow of parting, and where is the joy of reunion.
The family had lunch and had a great time.
Du He's eyes drifted on Changle's face from time to time, and after many years of husband and wife, he found that his wife was a little forced to smile today. The joy of her husband's return could not be faked, but she seemed to have something else on her mind, and there was some worry in her smile.
Inevitably swept away his mother's interest, he didn't say much, just remembered it.
Du He accompanied his mother to talk, and told the interesting things that happened in the northbound journey, which amused Zhang's and made him very happy.
Zhang also talked about what happened at home, until he felt tired, so he reluctantly went into the room to rest.
Du He said goodbye to his sister-in-law, thought about Changle, and returned to the house with the three ladies.
Coming to the hall, Du He looked at the familiar grass and trees, and sighed: "It still feels the best at home, if you really want to stay here for the rest of your life, accompany the three ladies who are like flowers and jade, regardless of the major events in the world, and be content." ”
Wu Meiniang laughed softly: "Du Lang is valued by His Majesty, and what he does is a major event in the world for the country and the people. ”
Du He gave Wu Meiniang one, you were originally a fox spirit.
Wu Meiniang's charming smile made Du He, who had not been a woman for a long time, feel a wave in her heart.
Sitting on the main seat, Du He said: "Changle, come and sit down next to me......"
At this time, there were no stools, and they all used mats as stools and knelt on the ground.
Changle wanted to sit down next to Du He, but let Du He stretch out his hand, hugged him in his arms, and asked softly, "But what's on your mind?" Seeing you like this, I feel sorry for my husband! ”
Li Xueyan clapped her hands and smiled: "I said it a long time ago, Sister Changle's heart can't be hidden from Du Lang, who cares about us...... You can see it at a glance. ”
Changle was also a little moved in his heart, and sighed lightly: "Du Lang is back, it's a happy event, I really don't want to spoil the fun, it's just that there are some things, it's really annoying, and I can't hide it." ”
Du He looked at the worried Changle and said curiously: "What happened?" ”
Changle said: "It's my eldest brother, third brother, and fourth brother......
With Changle's telling, the names of Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Ke flashed in Du He's mind, and his face immediately sank, and he realized something in his heart. When it comes to the three of them, there is nothing left except for the battle for succession.
It is now the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, and in his memory, the most intense time of Sanli Tuoyan is between the fourteenth year of Zhenguan and the seventeenth year of Zhenguan.
Prior to this, the three Li were all petty fights, but as Li Chengqian's behavior gradually came out of the cabinet, this open and secret struggle has already begun.
"But is it for the sake of the prince?"
Changle nodded gloomily and said: "At the party at the beginning of this year, the eldest brother, the third brother, and the fourth brother argued endlessly over a trivial matter, mocking each other, and had the intention of becoming enemies, which is really worrying. I'm afraid, what happened back then...... Happening again. ”
There was horror in her eyes.
Changle has been smart and clever, lively and cute since he was a child, and he is deeply liked by the public. This public included not only the then emperor Li Yuan, but also the then crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji.
Li Shimin was the victorious general of the Tang Dynasty at that time, responsible for commanding the three armies, and most of the battles in the Tang Dynasty were commanded by him. And Changle was active when he was a child, and often entered the palace to play, and the opportunity to be with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji was even better than Li Shimin. The relationship with them is no less than that of the Father. Even after the relationship with Li Shimin deteriorated, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's love for this niece is still the same.
Although the relationship between uncle and nephew is not as good as that of parents, it can be regarded as a close relative, but for the sake of the world, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Change, and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji died as a result.
This incident was fatal to the young Changle.
She couldn't let go of her father who killed her uncle and third uncle, and she also knew that if it wasn't her father who did it, it would be her father who would have died.
This is an unsolvable answer, and no matter which side wins, it will cause tragedy.
This matter has always been one of Changle's heart problems.
Time slowly made Changle forget everything, but the open and secret battles between Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Ke at the beginning of this year reminded her of the scene back then. She feared that history would repeat itself and that the same tragedy would happen again between these brothers.
Heart disease also recurs as a result.
Du He can understand Changle's mood, and the greatest sorrow in the world is nothing more than this, and comforted softly: "Don't worry, your father is not the emperor, some things can be controlled." In front of him, the prince, the king of Wei, and the king of Wu are all a group of little children, hairy boys, who can't afford any storms. What's more, Your Majesty is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, and at least there are twenty or thirty years of life, where can they turn the sky upside down. No matter how bad it is, there is still a foil for the husband, although he is soft-spoken for his wife, but he can't let their nonsense shake the foundation of Datang. ”
Changle thought about his father's wisdom and martial arts, and his heart was a little better.
"So, you're at ease. Now His Majesty does not express his position, not to turn a blind eye, but to observe, and then to see, who is qualified to inherit the unification. No one dared to act rashly until he made it clear. Du He hugged Changle and said his opinion.
He also thought about the future of Datang. Li Shimin's sons except Li You, everyone else has their own strengths, and they are not the kind of second ancestors who eat, drink and have fun. However, judging from the trend of history, there are four people who may inherit the unification: Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Tai, and Li Zhi, the Gaozong who is growing up.
These four people, Li Chengqian and Li Tai, were removed first. This is not due to the subjective emotions of Induhe, the two of them are indeed unsuitable to be emperors.
The first is Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian once said, "I am the Son of Heaven, and I should want; If there is a counselor, I will kill them, and kill five hundred people, is it not certain? He also said, "Let me have the world, ride tens of thousands to Jincheng, and then untie my hair, devote myself to thinking about it, and be a set, and take care of the unhappiness and evil!" "If this kind of person becomes the emperor, how can the Tang Dynasty be immortal.
Li Tai is the same, he can be literate but not martial, arrogant, self-respecting, and has no imperial ability. The rest of Li Ke and Li Zhi are a little in line with Duhe's thoughts.
Li Ke Duhe has little contact with him, and he doesn't know his true ability, but the eldest grandson Wuji in history is very jealous of him, even if Li Zhi becomes the emperor, he still designs to murder him to look forward to the world. As for Li Zhi, Du He is familiar with history and is quite familiar with him. Li Zhi is cowardly and not mediocre, and it cannot be denied that he is a good emperor, but he is not a Ming monarch.
History has changed a lot, and Du He has no foundation in his heart at the moment when the future of Datang is in the hands of whom. This kind of thing is not what he says.
After all, he's still a hairy kid.
"By the way......" Changle suddenly asked: "At the beginning of the year, when I entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings to my father, my father asked me which prince Du Lang went closest to him and which prince he had the closest relationship with. You say, does this have anything to do with this? ”
