Chapter 213
After lunch, Li Shimin went out of the Chengqing Hall to see Li Yuan.
At this time, the inner dynasty had dispersed, and Li Yuan moved to the Wanchun Palace.
Li Shimin came to the Wanchun Palace, the eunuch who guarded the door asked the king of Qin in the palace to see, and the attendants in front of the palace came out of the palace and led Li Shimin to the front of the royal bed.
------
Li Yuan was sitting on the imperial couch to review the folds, Li Shimin crossed his hand and saluted Li Yuan, Li Yuan nodded to Li Shimin with a smile, and motioned for him to sit down.
Li Shimin walked to the east end of the imperial case and sat down, sitting on Li Yuan's left hand side.
Li Yuan put down his hand and asked Li Shimin with a smile, "Erlang came to find Grandpa at this time, but is there something?"
Li Shimin was sitting in danger and said calmly to Li Yuan, "The real situation of the defeat of Gaojaw this time is not as stated in the report, and the people of the world came to see Grandpa because they wanted to report the hidden truth to Grandpa."
------
Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin lovingly, as if he was not surprised by what Li Shimin said, and comforted, "The defeat is not terrible, the key is to learn a lesson, since the beginning of the army, you and my father and son have been too smooth, not to mention you, even I have a proud heart, I didn't take Xue Ju too seriously, this defeat is also a wake-up call for us."
Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan with shame and said to himself, "The defeat of the Gaojaw army is really the fault of the sons, but it is the fault of the sons and daughters, but Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan are guilty of the crimes, and the sons are really ashamed."
------
Li Yuan was not in a hurry to ask for the details of the matter, and gently comforted, "Erlang doesn't have to feel guilty, Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan are not without mistakes, they can't find your decision-making mistakes, and they can't discourage them if they find mistakes, it's all their dereliction of duty, otherwise what's the use of letting them go with you?"
"Fortunately, they have the courage to take responsibility, which is also their duty as subordinates. If they don't even have this responsibility, it won't be as simple as removing them from office, and if you are guilty, they will be unforgivable."
------
Li Shimin still felt unbearable in his heart, and said to Li Yuan earnestly, "Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan are both the fathers of the Jinyang Army, and they have made outstanding achievements since the beginning of the army, if they ruin their lives because of this war, their sons will be ashamed of them."
Li Yuan smiled, "Erlang is too worried, if the two of them don't complain about this matter, it won't be long before I reactivate them."
Hearing Li Yuan say this, Li Shimin's guilt in his heart decreased slightly, and he said solemnly to Li Yuan, "Grandpa Xie is so considerate of his son."
------
Li Yuan raised his left hand and patted Li Shimin's shoulder, encouraging Li Shimin lovingly, "Don't be dampened by a defeat, what Grandpa likes is Erlang's pride in the world."
Receiving the encouragement of his loving father, Li Shimin felt a warmth in his heart, his eyes were a little red, and he nodded heavily at Li Yuan with emotion.
------
At this time, Li Yuancai laughed and said, "Tell Grandpa, how did you discuss and deceive Grandpa?"
Li Shimin smiled shyly and said to Li Yuan embarrassedly, "The two of them insisted on taking the blame for their sons, so they came up with the idea of letting their sons take charge of the army when they were sick."
Li Yuan nodded with a smile, "I guess that's it."
------
Then Li Shimin told Li Yuan in detail about the entire course of the war.
After hearing this, Li Yuan sighed, "It seems that what people say about the arrogant soldiers will be defeated is true."
Then, he said thoughtfully, "If it is undecided today, there will still be continuous battles, Grandpa can't bow down to everything, and your eldest brother, as the crown prince, is not convenient for leading the troops to go on the expedition, and the heavy responsibility of the future expedition to the east and west may fall on your shoulders, you must take this as a warning, and you can't repeat the mistakes of the past."
Li Shimin listened to Li Yuan's earnest admonition, and nodded incessantly, "The son will definitely remember the lessons of this battle for the rest of his life."
Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction, "If Erlang can really take this as a warning, this failure will not be a bad thing for us."
------
Unloaded the burden in his heart, Li Shimin's mood was much happier, and when he came out of the Wanchun Palace, his steps were relaxed, and his face returned to his former self-confidence and heroism.
Li Shimin took a brisk step, entered the Yiqiu Gate of the West Palace, passed the Qianqiu Palace, the Princess Courtyard, and then passed the Harmony Palace, walked on the covered bridge on the Qingming Canal, stood on the bridge and looked north, the canal water was clear, and slowly flowed north.
The willows on both sides of the bank are verdant, lush into shade, extend along the canal bank to the distance, and finally turn into the pavilions and palaces.
Li Shimin stood on the covered bridge for a while, calmed down, and then turned around and walked off the covered bridge.
------
Back in the courtyard of Chengqing Palace, when the palace people saw the return of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, they all crossed their hands and bowed their knees one by one.
Li Shimin crossed the road in the middle of the court, stepped on the steps of His Majesty in front of the palace, and the palace people standing in front of the palace gate crossed their hands and bent their knees to ask, "Hello King".
On the couch facing the window in the east of the hall, Guanyin was sitting quietly reading a book, hearing Li Shimin come back, put the book on top of several cases, slowly turned around, faced the temple door, and looked at Li Shimin with a smile.
------
Li Shimin nodded and smiled at Guanyin, sat down on the couch after a few cases, saw the scrolls on the case, and asked Guanyin, "What book is Awen reading?"
Guanyin replied with a smile, "The Legend of the Martyr written by Liu Xiang, a great Confucian of the Western Han Dynasty."
Li Shimin instructed with concern, "Ah Wan is too attentive to things, you are pregnant now, you can't sit for a day like before." I seem to have heard people say that when a woman has a body, she should move around more."
------
Guanyin smiled sweetly, "Thank you for your concern."
Li Shimin said with a straight face, "What king? You want to call him brother."
Guanyin Wan smiled and changed her words, "Please rest assured, Brother Shimin, my aunt and Ding Niangzi have explained, every time I read a book, I won't let it go for more than an hour, if my maid is disobedient, Qin Lan and Shiqin will run to complain."
After that, he sighed, "I'm not free now."
Li Shimin said with a smile, "With my aunt and Mrs. Ding in charge, I am naturally relieved."
------
Guanyin then asked softly, "Can you tell Grandpa the whole story of the war?"
Li Shimin said to Guanyin, "Grandpa is right, Grandpa didn't even ask, as if he had guessed what happened."
Guanyin said solemnly, "When the Han Dynasty admonished King Wu, he once said, "If you want people not to hear it, don't say it; If you don't want anyone to know, don't do it." If you want people not to hear it, you don't say it; If no one knows, he will not do it unless he does."
"Even I can see the flaws in your report on the war, how wise Grandpa is, can't I see that there is another hidden secret?"
------
Li Shimin said with some fear, "Thanks to me taking the initiative to tell the truth, if I wait until Grandpa asks, it will be passive."
Guanyin said seriously, "Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, Grandpa looks at the three of you brothers as if they were watching a fire, and your every move can't escape his eyes."
"If you don't say it, Grandpa won't tell it, he will be secretly observing, will you deceive him in other things."
"If you are lucky, thinking that you can deceive Grandpa this time and lie to him next time, he will be defensive against you."
------
Guanyin's words shocked Li Shimin into a cold sweat, and he didn't seem to believe that it was true, "You said that Grandpa was terrible, how could Grandpa be so powerful as you said?"
Guanyin said solemnly, "Even if Grandpa doesn't arrange for someone to spy on you, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at you, maybe someone will secretly report what you have done to Grandpa in order to invite merit."
"Take Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan as examples, if Grandpa scares them twice, won't they tell the truth?"
Li Shimin carefully pondered what Guanyin said, and what she said really made sense.
------
Guanyin sighed, "The people who know their sons best in this world are their parents. The "Legend of the Martyr's Daughter: Zhao Jiang's Mother" that I was watching just now tells the story of Zhizi Mo Ruomu."
Li Shimin said with interest, "Auntie will tell the story to Brother."
Guanyin picked up the book from the case, turned to the article "Zhao Jiang's Mother", and told the story she had just read.
------
The wife of Zhao Hao, the general of Zhao State, is Zhao Kuo's mother. The state of Qin attacked the state of Zhao, and King Zhao Xiaocheng wanted Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po as a general.
Zhao Kuo's mother went to see King Zhao Xiaocheng and said to him, "Zhao Kuo can't be a general."
King Zhao Xiaocheng asked, "Why?"
Zhao Kuo's mother said, "When Zhao Kuo's father was a general, he gave all the money given by the king, and he gave it all to his subordinates. After he was ordained, he no longer intervened in family affairs."
"But Zhao Kuo is different from his father, he takes all the money given by the king, and is busy all day to see if there is a farm house to buy."
"They are different fathers and sons, and they have different things in mind. Please don't worship Zhao Kuo as a general."
Zhao Xiaocheng said, "Madam, don't say it again, this matter has already been decided."
King Zhao Xiaocheng did not listen to Zhao Kuo's mother's dissuasion and sent Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po. Sure enough, just over a month, Zhao Kuo died in battle, and the entire Zhao army was annihilated.
-------
After telling the story of "Zhao Jiangkuo's Mother", Guanyin said, "Zhao Kuo's mother knows what her son is like, Grandpa watched you grow up since childhood, how could you not know what kind of temperament and how capable each of his sons is?"
Hearing Guanyin say this, Li Shimin said with some anxiety, "It's really as Grandpa said, in front of Grandpa, don't I have to be cautious and walk on thin ice?"
Guanyin shook her head, "Grandpa knows what kind of person you are, if you are careful in front of him, you will no longer be your true self, so Grandpa will be suspicious of you."
"In front of Grandpa, all Brother Shimin has to do is to be your true self. Don't pretend, don't be pretentious, grandpa will say in his heart, my real Erlang is like this."
------
Li Shimin sighed, "But from the bottom of my heart, I still have the idea of becoming a prince and replacing my eldest brother to govern the world in the future. Once a person has ambition, it is difficult to be true to himself."
Guanyin said, "Since Brother Shimin wants to gain the world, then take the world as his own responsibility and put the interests of Datang first, then he will be consistent with Grandpa's will, as long as you maintain Datang and Grandpa, no matter what you do, there will be no mistake."
Li Shimin nodded, "Auntie is right, as long as my starting point is to protect Datang and Grandpa, I can have a clear conscience and do what I want to do."
------
After figuring out the truth, Li Shimin's heart suddenly brightened.
He smiled and said to Guanyin, "From the story told by Ah Wan, I also understand that for the general, for the general, you must be selfless in your heart. Think about it, if we can get the world in the future, what use are we going to have all those farms, houses, and goods?"
Guanyin was also proud, closed the book in her hand and said, "At that time, "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister." Where will the gold, silver, and goods be scarce, Brother Shimin?"
