Chang'an, the lights are colorful.

Today is the time for Li Shimin to return from the imperial expedition.

Outside the west gate of Chang'an, the dust was flying, and an army of steam and steel roared over.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

The honor guard, who had been waiting for a long time, saw this scene and immediately shouted.

Woo!

The horn of Chang'an City sounded a long sound, welcoming the return of the conquest army.

"Welcome back from your majesty's victory!"

"Welcome back from your majesty's victory!"

......

The people who spontaneously gathered at the city gate were chanting, the steam and steel army stopped outside the city gate, Li Shimin got out of the car, nodded to the welcoming procession but did not step forward.

"Send the soldiers home first!"

Li Shimin let go of his body and shouted in a deep voice.

The convoy separated, and dozens of black cars with white flowers slowly drove towards the city gate.

The white flowers, the white steam, and the black body instantly silenced the originally elated atmosphere.

"Send the soldiers home!"

"Send the soldiers home!"

......

One by one, the soldiers got out of the steam car and shouted loudly, and a few of them had red eyes.

"Salute!"

At the city gate, the person in charge of the honor guard reacted instantly, signaling everyone to put down the musical instruments in their hands and bow silently.

How can there be immortals in war, whether it is a war between immortals or a war between ordinary people, the Tang Dynasty has unified the human race in a few years, and behind it is the sacrifice and death of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of soldiers.

In a quiet atmosphere, the car carrying the personal identity nameplate of the sacrificed soldier slowly entered Chang'an City.

Behind the car, Li Shimin, who followed on foot, and thousands of soldiers and soldiers.

"This is the Terrans? This human emperor really gave up this supreme glory that should have belonged to him for the sake of the soldiers who had died, wasn't the emperor ruthless? ”

In Chang'an City, Yunxiao and the others looked at Li Shimin, who slowly walked into Chang'an City behind the hearse like an ordinary soldier, and their expressions were full of doubts.

The unification of the human race and the return of the emperor from the imperial expedition should have belonged to the supreme glory of an emperor, but Li Shimin stubbornly turned a festive welcome gift into a funeral.

"The emperor is ruthless, people are affectionate, and this glory not only belongs to him, but also to these soldiers."

Chen Nuo nodded with satisfaction.

A general will eventually become a withered eternal, and everyone only sees the honor of the general, but who has ever seen the hundreds of millions of dry bones behind the honor.

Li Shimin was able to do this, which was indeed beyond his expectations.

"Sir, could it be that this is the emperor's show?"

Qiongxiao, who was younger and kept a girl's heart, came over and asked.

"Whether it's a show or not, does it matter?"

Chen Nuo shook his head.

It doesn't matter if it's a show or not, the important thing is to have this heart and make it.

People are forgetful, and they will subconsciously forget bad things.

If there was no such ceremony, except for the relatives of the sacrificed soldiers, no one else would have remembered how great the price was paid behind the unification of the human race, and how difficult it was to come to peaceful reunification.

Now that there is this ceremony, it is equivalent to putting the blood and pain paid by the unification of the human race behind the war on the bright side, so that people can remember it.

Only when we understand the cost of war will we be able to cherish the preciousness of peaceful reunification and the life in front of us even more.

As for whether Li Shimin is putting on a show in this process, it doesn't matter at all.

"National teacher."

Chen Nuo waited in his yard for a long time, and Li Shimin, who came back, came to the door in person.

Seeing Li Shimin coming to the door, Yunxiao and the others also retreated with interest.

"Sit, how does it feel about this royal driving expedition?"

Chen Nuo pulled a chair, waited for Li Shimin to sit down, and asked.

Compared with a few years ago, Li Shimin's face obviously showed a trace of tiredness, but his eyes were brighter.

"It doesn't feel good."

Li Shimin shook his head with a heavy face, was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "It's too miserable, the cost of the war is too great.

The people of the world thought that the war I had experienced was tragic enough.

But compared to the war of millions of legions between countries, I realized that my previous experience was like child's play.

National teacher, I am quite interested in the constitutional monarchy you mentioned earlier, can I explain it in detail to the people of the world? ”

"Oh?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Nuo's eyes, and then he asked, "Do you know what this system means?" ”

"Retain the monarchy but limit the imperial power, and return the power to the masses and the people."

Li Shimin took a few deep breaths and said softly: "In the past few years, Shimin has witnessed the tragedy of large-scale wars.

Screams, cries, pain, fear, despair, stumps and severed arms in front of them, blood pooling into streams, vultures in the sky chirping and circling, all waiting for the war to end and feast.

Because of the emergency of wartime, the sacrificed soldiers did not even have time to be cremated, so everyone could only collect their identity plates and bury them on the spot at will.

The people knew that when we left, the flocks of vultures would rush down, digging through the buried earth with their claws, gnawing at the bodies of the soldiers, devouring their flesh and blood.

They paid their blood for the Tang Dynasty and their lives for the unification of the human race, but in the end they couldn't even be cremated or put into the ground for peace, their bodies were dug up, and their flesh and blood were eaten by vultures and scavengers.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the national teacher, you said that the ark that survived the catastrophe of the destruction of heaven and earth would have to exert the strength of the entire human race in order to research and build it before the great destruction.

The people of the world are willing to use the method of economic erosion, the method of cultural assimilation, to unify the human race more slowly but gently.

In recent years, the people of the world have been wondering, what caused the war? And what caused the division of the Terrans? I thought a lot about it, and finally figured out five points. ”

"Oh, what about five?"

A hint of interest flashed in Chen Nuo's eyes.

Although in his previous contact with Li Shimin, he did not hide that he inadvertently revealed a lot of modern civilization concepts, but he did not actually teach Li Shimin how to behave and how to govern the country.

"Education, Desire, Human Rights, Needs, Upward Channels."

Li Shimin was silent for a few seconds, but still said: "The popularization of education is not enough, and when the needs are not met, people will not fight for it in a more civilized way, they will only use the most primitive violence."

Desire, everyone has desire, no matter when the human race has no shortage of careerists.

If the popularization of public education keeps up with the popularization of public affairs and understands things and reason, then it is even less likely that careerists will want to stir up public sentiment.

human rights, to ensure the personal safety of the people.

Executives and even I, the emperor, must not infringe on the personal rights of others at will, and have no right to infringe on the personal rights of others, so as to establish a sense of security.

Needs, everyone will pursue a better life, or fame or power or money or love, we must try our best to meet the needs of the people, and the needs have been met.

Naturally, there will be no rebellion and separatism, and there will be no war.

Development space, which is a channel for the ordinary people at the bottom to rise and change their destiny through hard work.

or the imperial examination, or joining the army, or doing business, or art, or technology, or knowledge, etc.

With an upward channel, hard work can be rewarded, and the people will naturally have a sense of happiness and will not rebel and divide.

Shimin thinks that I can be a diligent king, and the next king of the Tang Dynasty can also be diligent, but whether the descendants can still do it after leaving home, Shimin dare not guarantee.

Every time I think of the situation that the world was against at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the eighteenth generation of the Yang family was exterminated, it would one day happen to the Tang Dynasty and the Li family, and the people of the world felt trembling.

In order to avoid such a thing from happening, and for the Tang Dynasty to be inherited forever, and the human race can be unified forever and there will be no more internal bloody wars, the people of the world decided to do something in their lifetime.

The people of the world thought about it a lot, and after thinking about it, they finally found that only the constitutional monarchy that the national teacher once said could achieve this.

A constitutional monarchy can not only guarantee the rights and interests of the Li family, but also guarantee the rights of the people, it may not be perfect, but there is no perfection in the world itself. ”

Chen Nuo was silent, looked at Li Shimin with a sincere face, and sighed: "Your Majesty's wisdom has transcended this world. ”

"Xie Guoshi's praise, without the national teacher, there would be no people today, let alone the Tang Dynasty today, and there will be no human race today, the national teacher's strategy is beyond heaven and earth."

Li Shimin shook his head, stood up and bowed to Chen Nuo.

"I also hope that the national teacher will fulfill the will of the people of the world, fulfill the wishes of the people, and teach the people of the world a more advanced civilized social system."
