"What kind of person is the Holy One today?" Liu Yifan asked this question out of pure curiosity.

Today's saint Li Shimin, the first emperor of the ages, the Khan of the sky, and his wonderful life are enough to describe "open hanging" in two words. ”

That's right, open for a lifetime.

Before ascending the throne, with Li Yuan's southern expedition to the north, he was good at using soldiers, and made great achievements, laying a solid foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

After ascending the throne, he created the rule of Zhenguan, ruling the world with literature internally, and expanding the territory with military force externally. In addition, the streamlining of government agencies and the reform of three provinces and six ministries are all great achievements.

But Liu Yifan thinks that these are the views of later generations on this emperor through the ages, and they are all the scenery that has been handed down.

But is that really the case?

Will he be a chatter. Could it be an ugly monster?

Is it really the posture of the dragon and phoenix, the watch of the sky?

In politics, will you really not blame the past, know people well, follow advice, and rectify the rule of officials?

Economically, thin endowment is still thrifty, and prudent in government?

All of this has always been a question mark in Liu Yifan's mind.

Is there really such a powerful figure in the long river of history, or is it a history book written to cater to the powerful.

Of course, Liu Yifan doesn't bother with this if he doesn't cross, but now that he has crossed over to the Tang Dynasty, he is still in the ninth year of martial arts, and he is about to enter the year of Zhenguan, and this curiosity really can't help it anymore.

What kind of person is such an emperor?

This question really stumped Li Shimin himself, he never expected it to be such a question, he was speechless for a while, and he didn't say half a word for a long time.

In the end, he held back for a long time and said: "You dare to discuss it in the Holy Saint today!" There seems to be a look on his face like the elders educating the younger generations.

Liu Yifan didn't think so, and laughed twice and said: "You are not the imperial prince, you are stupid to me, discuss this with anyone." ”

"The imperial family can't talk about the imperial power casually." Li Shimin smiled bitterly.

"Really? I have always thought that today's saints are benevolent and righteous kings, who are not informal, can speak directly to loyal ministers, and can listen to the people. Liu Yifan said disappointedly.

Li Shimin looked at Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin and said, "What do you two think?" ”

The two were stunned for a moment, and then said together: "I haven't seen it, I don't know." After saying that, he buried his head in eating again.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin with interest, her husband can be said to have reached the pinnacle of mankind, but he seems to be a little helpless against this little Mr. Liu, not only funny, but also wants to see what Li Shimin can do, and has some feelings of schadenfreude.

Li Shimin naturally will not be confused by such words of praise, he usually hears too many such words.

But today is different, this is the words of a man in the market, which can really reflect the position of his emperor in the hearts of the people.

It is different from the meaning of what the civil and military officials usually hear.

Then he frowned and thought deeply, and after a few breaths, he raised his head and said seriously: "Today's saint is naturally an enlightened emperor, and before he was in the court, he said to the civil and military officials, he encouraged everyone to criticize his decision-making and style, which shows that his bearing is extraordinary. ”

After speaking, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, glanced at the eldest grandson queen, and was quite embarrassed, this was the first time he praised himself in front of everyone.

Liu Yifan thought to himself that there was really such a thing, it seems that history books are not all deceitful.

Li Shimin thought that he had already spoken, so in the final analysis, he continued to say: "I really witnessed the demeanor of the saint in the early years, and to be honest, I really admired the temperament and heroism of the saint. ”

"That time was to go hunting outside the city, the saint was infinitely powerful, holding a two-meter-long giant heavenly bow in his hand, at that time there happened to be a group of wild boars running out, the saint was full of interest, four arrows shot four, and one rushed to the front, I was panicked at the same time, the saint drew his sword and rushed forward, without fear, and fought with the wild boar, slashed the wild boar with a sword, and was unharmed."

Liu Yifan was stunned, he only knew that Li Shimin's military talent was outstanding, but he didn't expect that the force value was so good, and he always thought that he relied on the heroes and heroes under his command to charge into battle. It seems that he was greatly influenced by the legend of the heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties, so he said,

"I didn't expect that the Holy Lord's force was so powerful, not only can he excel, but this courage is even more admirable."

After that, he filled the wine glass for Li Shimin, and when he got a glass, the two of them drank it all.

When Li Shimin heard Liu Yifan say this, he was extremely happy in his heart, and he was even more interested in the wine, and said,

"What is this, the heroic deeds of the saint really can't be said, from Yanmen Pass to Jinyang to raise troops, which is not him at the forefront."

"After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he led the troops to pacify Xue Rengao, Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Liu Heimin and other separatist forces, worshiped the generals of Tiance, and crowned the king of Qin.

The more Li Shimin talked, the more excited he became, counting his own experiences, and the past slowly emerged in front of him.

Liu Yifan didn't speak, and listened quietly.

"And there's something the world doesn't know." Li Shimin pretended to be unfathomable and picked up the wine glass that had been drunk.

Liu Yifan immediately understood the meaning, got up and bent down to pour wine for Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded with a smile and said: "This matter is that at that time, because the saint had too many military merits, and they were all great merits, there was a situation at that time, that is, there was no way to seal it, and there was no reward. ”

As soon as these words came out, except for Liu Yifan, who was still listening attentively, the rest of the people showed their expressions.

It was only at this time that a few people came to their senses, no wonder after the saint subdued Liu Heimin, they were not reused, they always thought that it was the ghost made by the prince Li Jiancheng at that time.

Thinking about it at this time, it may have been the idea of Emperor Li Yuan at that time, because this son of his own is too powerful, the official position has been sealed to the highest, and the reward is the most, and there is a tendency to overshadow the lord with high merit.

If Li Shimin is allowed to continue to develop, then when the crown prince Li Jiancheng ascends the throne and succeeds to the throne, how should he convince the public and how should he face his brother, so Li Yuan deliberately suppressed Li Shimin and increased Li Jiancheng's prestige.

But people are not as good as heaven, Li Yuan never expected that his trade-off decision would force the two brothers into their current situation.

Li Shimin sighed softly when he said this.

The eldest grandson queen on the side held her husband's hand with both hands and patted it gently to show comfort.

Li Shimin turned his head and smiled at Empress Changsun, shook his head, and said that it was okay, rest assured, the husband and wife didn't need too many words, and they could know their minds with one look.

When Liu Yifan heard this, he nodded, as if he had figured out something, and couldn't help sighing: "However, the saint was born in the emperor's house, if he enters the rivers and lakes, I don't know if he will become a generation of heroes." ”

Li Shimin laughed, he didn't think like this, he once wanted to be like this Brother Liu, free and unrestrained.

It's just that all this is just a fantasy, like a dream bubble.

Thinking of this, perhaps because of drinking too much, I can't help but feel a little sad.

The eldest grandson queen on the side saw it in her eyes, worried about her husband, and thought about how to change the atmosphere, and then said to Liu Yifan,

"Mr. Xiao Liu, sister-in-law took the liberty to ask, I don't know how old it is?" Women, if you want to change the topic, that's nothing more than this.

As soon as the question came out, Liu Yifan immediately lowered his head and thought carefully, he had been crossing for a few months, and the owner of this body before seemed to have lived for more than ten years, but how many years was it, how old should I be now.

Empress Changsun didn't expect that a simple question would stump Liu Yifan, looking at Liu Yifan's appearance, she "poofed" and laughed out: "Mr. Xiao won't forget how old he is." ”

"Well, this, wait, I'll do the math." So with a thought, I turned on the system and immediately calculated my age.

A few people at the table laughed, and the atmosphere was suddenly a lot more cheerful.

"I said Brother Liu, I've only drunk half of this wine, so I don't know how old I am? That's not how much you drink. Li Shimin laughed.

Liu Yifan looked at the system in his hand seriously, and shouted excitedly: "Eighteen, I'm eighteen." ”

This act made everyone laugh again.

Liu Yifan scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, since he crossed over, he really hadn't paid attention to this problem.

In fact, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun already knew the answer, when they met Liu Yifan, Li Shimin sent someone to check him.

At this time, I asked, naturally, not for fun.

Empress Eldest Sun then smiled again: "Then I don't know if the little gentleman has a marriage match?" If not, my sister-in-law can help. ”

Yu Chigong and Cheng Yanjin looked at Liu Yifan in surprise, let the queen give you a matchmaker, it is estimated that you are the first and last in the Tang Dynasty.

looked at Liu Yifan enviously.

But Liu Yifan's face was quite embarrassed at this time, and he stopped talking.

"Could it be that Mr. Xiao has a crusher?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.

Liu Yifan thought of the snow girl Yun'er at home in Qilian Village, the two always had an ambiguous relationship of cutting and untidy, he liked Yun'er, but he didn't know if it was love, and Yun'er was sometimes far away, sometimes near, unpredictable for him.

But somehow, the girl in white from yesterday suddenly appeared in his mind, and the pity made Liu Yifan remember it vividly, obviously he had only met once but he never forgot it.

The two images swirled back and forth in his mind.

"Sister-in-law said and laughed, where did the kid come from to marry, but this kind of thing is still casual, don't force it, sister-in-law bothered." Liu Yifan responded.

actually refused, the eldest grandson queen couldn't see the fluctuation on her face, and still said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then don't force it, but if you fall in love with a girl from a family, you must tell your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law will do it for you and check for you." ”

"The boy thanked my sister-in-law." Liu Yifan got up and bowed, this sister-in-law gave him the feeling of thinking that he was a big sister, very kind, although he had only met twice, there was no barrier, and it felt natural.

"Hey, Mr. Xiao's family has the most famous singer Yun'er girl in Chang'an City, I believe that ordinary women should not look down on her." Cheng Yanjin said with a big grin: "I was also invited to participate in the Splendid Poetry Club, where can ordinary women match." ”

Liu Yifan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the eldest brother from talking, turned around and said: "I don't know why you invited me, I haven't even read a book, where can I compose poetry, I guess I made a mistake." ”

"Oh? Brother Liu was actually invited to participate in the Splendid Poetry Club. Li Shimin said, with a strange look in his smile.

"Things seem to be getting interesting." Li Shimin picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
