In the inner hall of the East Palace, Li Xuan held a volume of "Book of Song" and entered the Mingde Palace.

In the hall, Li Xian was already sitting behind the table, waiting for Li Xuan to teach.

"Your Highness!" Li Xuan arched his hand with a serious face, put the "Book of Song" on the table, and then said in a deep voice: "The minister will leave Chang'an in a few days, today is the last lesson taught to His Royal Highness, and it is also a very important lesson, and it can even be said to be the first lesson of the emperor, please remember it." ”

Li Xian suddenly became extremely solemn, bowed to Li Xuan and said, "Please teach Uncle Wang." ”

Li Xuan looked around and said coldly: "Today's matter, except for one person who recorded it, the others left immediately. ”

The maids and guards standing in the corner of the hall, as well as the records recorded behind the curtain on one side, all stood up and looked at Li Xian.

"Leave one behind, the others leave." Li Xian did not hesitate at all, and waved his hand directly to let them obey Li Xuan's order.

Before Li Xuan left Chang'an every year in the past, he would make very useful suggestions to him and Li Xian.

At the beginning, Li Xian was just perfunctory, but after suffering a big loss, he became serious, and as soon as he implemented it, he immediately received excellent results.

Li Xian is the same, but he listens to Li Xuan more.

Li Xuan bowed his hand to Li Xian again, then looked at him and asked, "Your Highness, have you ever heard of a common saying, when a husband is angry, blood is splashed in five steps." ”

Li Xian nodded and said, "In the Qin period, the king of Qin made people use five hundred miles of land, the country of Yi'an Lingjun.

An Lingjun accepted it to the previous king with the land and rejected it.

Afraid of Qin's anger, Tang Ju was in Qin.

King Qin said angrily: The anger of the Son of Heaven ambushes millions of corpses and bleeds for thousands of miles.

Tang Ju said: The assassin of the princes, the comet strikes the moon; Nie Zhengzhi's assassination Han puppet, Bai Hong Guanri; To leave the thorn Qingji, the cangying struck the palace. Therefore, if the soldier will be angry, the corpse will be ambushed, and the blood will be shed for five steps, and the world will be vegetarian.

So he drew his sword and stood up, King Qin scratched, and knelt down to thank him. ”

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Presumably, His Highness should have guessed by now, what is the minister going to say today?" ”

Li Xian slowly lowered his head and said, "The matter of guarding, the matter of assassination, the king's self is important. ”

"Half right." Li Xuan opened the "Book of Song" in his hand, pointed to a folded page and said, "Does Your Highness know Liu Yifu?" ”

Li Xian glanced at it, nodded, and said: "Liu Yifu, the eldest son of Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu, ascended the throne in the third year of Song Yongchu, and was deposed in the second year of Jingping. ”

Li Xuan nodded and said: "The ministers read history, and they are most surprised when they read this, how did Liu Yifu, the king of a country, enter the palace by his courtiers and forcibly abolish it, and the guards and attendants in the palace are all dead people?" ”

Li Xian was stunned, he was really stunned, he thought that if one day in the future, he succeeded to the throne as the emperor, and someone went straight to the palace gate, broke into the harem, and directly abolished him, what should he do?

However, just thinking of that scene, Li Xian felt a cool breath rising from his back, and his whole face was pale and terrifying.

……

"Go back to the way before." Li Xuan closed the Book of Song, looked up at Li Xian, and asked, "Your Highness thinks that when you are angry, blood is splashed in five steps, how is it?" ”

"Good, very good." Li Xian's face showed a hint of coldness.

"Yes, Your Highness, please take a look." After Li Xuan finished speaking, Li Xian subconsciously raised his head, and the next moment, he saw a brush, like a sword, stabbing at him as a brother.

The white rabbit of the brush is vertical, and even capable of emitting a blade light.

The next moment, the brush had stopped in front of his throat.

But at this moment, Li Xian felt a chill in his throat.

When he looked down, he saw that a drop of black ink had been splashed on his throat.

"Your Highness, this is the five steps of blood spattered." Li Xuan slowly put the brush back, then looked at Li Xian and said, "This is the first lesson that His Highness should learn, within five steps." ”

"Within five steps." Li Xian muttered his head down, trying to wipe the ink off his throat, but his hand never moved.

"Your Highness needs to control everything within five steps." Li Xuan looked at the long sword hanging on the wall on the side, then put it beside Li Xian, and said in a deep voice: "This sword is the greatest basis for His Highness to control the five steps...... Of course, this sword can be a sword, a crossbow, or a person. ”

"People?" Li Xian raised his head suddenly, and he had already reacted.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Your Highness needs to choose personal guards, choose personal guards who only listen to their own orders, even if His Highness asks them to kill their ministers, they will draw their swords without scruples." ”

Li Xian's eyes couldn't help twitching, and then he smiled embarrassedly: "How could Lone send someone to kill Uncle Wang." ”

"This is just a metaphor, Your Highness should not have this kind of thought in your heart, the minister is extremely loyal to His Highness." Li Xuan glanced at Li Xian angrily.

Li Xian smiled wryly, at that moment, in his mind, there was indeed this kind of thought.

"When the husband is angry, within five steps, it is all in the hands of His Highness; To achieve this step, His Highness can expand widely, and now the entire inner hall, and even the entire Mingde Palace, and even the entire East Palace, His Highness is completely in control; Wait until the future...... It's a matter of the Son of Heaven being angry and ambushing millions of corpses. Li Xuan's voice was so soft that only Li Xian could hear it.

Li Xian's expression suddenly became faint.

"Remember, little by little, start within five steps of yourself, and then go to this Mingde Palace, and then go to the entire East Palace." Li Xuan lowered his voice again, and said very softly: "In the future, too, five steps by my side, to the entire dynasty, to the entire palace, and finally to the whole world." ”

Li Xian nodded heavily, and his expression gradually became fierce.

Li Xuan took two steps back, then looked at Li Xian and said: "In this way, let's read this biography of Liu Yifu again, in the second year of Song Jingping, on April 25, the minister Tan Daoji led the troops to open the way, Xu Xianzhi and others then entered the palace, and the Praetorian Guards were persuaded in advance and did not stop them.

Before Liu Yifu got up, he was deposed, and then under the bowing and resignation of hundreds of civil and military officials, he was sent back to his former residence in the palace.

Subsequently, Tan Daoji, Xu Xianzhi and others supported the history of the Southern Yuzhou Thorn, and Liu Yilong was the emperor and Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty. ”

……

Li Xian sat there silently, reading Liu Yifu's biography again, and it was all bloody and cruel between the lines.

The intrigue of the human heart and the greed of the powerful are all clearly seen.

After a long time, Li Xian slowly raised his head and said with a complicated expression: "Uncle Wang." ”

Li Xuan nodded and said, "It seems that His Highness understands it." ”

"Yes!" Li Xian nodded heavily, looking at Li Xuan with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Good." Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Your Highness does things, although the goal is the world, but first of all, start from the entire palace, because hundreds of officials in the court have to enter this palace every day to govern, and even enter the palace to face the saint...... To start with the entire palace, His Royal Highness needs to start from this East Palace, from the Mingde Palace, and from within five steps of himself. ”

"Cultivating cronies." Li Xian nodded heavily.

"The minister is more than right, dare to ask His Highness, who does His Highness want to use?" Li Xuan arched his hand and bowed heavily.

Li Xian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The children of the clan, or, the princess's family." ”

"The minister said something excessive, the family of the crown princess, when something happens, listen to His Royal Highness, or listen to the crown princess; The children of the clan, they also have parents, wives and children, and they listen to whoever they encounter. Li Xuan's gaze rose slightly.

Li Xian immediately understood that Li Xuan was not talking about their parents, but about his parents.

"Uncle Wang, what's the explanation?" Li Xian gave up again.

"His Royal Highness is now the crown prince, and there is a good hospital in the East Palace, which is usually in charge of the prince's medicine and medicine Lang Lu Zhaolin, and there is a kindergarten orphanage near the good hospital...... If Your Highness is free, you might as well go to the Good Hospital. Li Xuan arched his hand, and then said: "Back then, Gaozu built the North Gate Forbidden Army, and selected personal guards from Taiyuan Yi, which is the reason. ”

Li Xian's pupils dilated instantly, and then nodded solemnly.

Li Xuan continued to speak: "In addition, Your Highness, after finding a good person, tell Your Majesty that you don't need too many people, four people can do it, let Su Liangsi train in the East Palace, and His Highness can just watch from the sidelines, and within five steps around him in the future, everything will be in His Highness's control." ”

Li Xian suddenly clenched his fists, and his lips pursed tightly.

"The Tao Sutra says: Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, and three lives to infinity. Within five steps, between the palaces, the entire East Palace, the entire Imperial Palace, and the entire world. Li Xuan bowed heavily, and then said solemnly: "This is all in the hands of His Highness." ”

Li Xian couldn't help but close his eyes, then arched his hand at Li Xuan and said, "So, thank you Uncle Wang." ”

"Your Highness, please be seated." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Today's lecture, that's the end of it, and then, before the minister leaves, some things need to be explained to His Highness." ”

"Uncle Wang, please speak." As soon as Li Xian sat down, he looked up at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "First of all, it is the matter of the Good Hospital, now it has a beginning, Lu Zhaolin is a disciple of the Holy Doctor, there is no problem in sitting in the town, after a few months, other patients can be properly treated, such as wind disease, if Your Majesty's condition can be improved, it is the greatest kindness in the world." ”

Li Xian has now learned to listen to people's subtext.

What Li Xuan said was that if the emperor's condition could improve, it would be the greatest good thing.

The implication is that the emperor's condition may not even be easy to improve, so he must be dedicated to this matter.

"I understand, thank you Uncle Wang for your advice." Li Xian gave up again.

Li Xuan continued: "This year, Your Majesty will inevitably let His Royal Highness act as the agent of state affairs, and Xiao Guicao can do whatever he wants. ”

"Yes!" Li Xian gave his hand.

"The rest is just watching." Li Xuan's eyes jumped, and Li Xian suddenly became solemn.

"The war on the grassland, how to mobilize the army, the allocation of military rations, where to transport how much, Wenxi County Duke is the strongest master of the art of war in the world, His Royal Highness, if he can understand one or two, it will be enough in the future."

After a slight pause, Li Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness can also compare the minister's Luo Dao, where to transfer troops, how much to use, how much food to use, His Royal Highness can be compared with Wenxi County, but the minister is far inferior to Wenxi County." ”

"Saburo understands." Li Xian nodded seriously and said, "Uncle Wang, do you want to do something?" ”

"Even if there is no big victory, there will never be a big defeat, and the ministers should use their troops and be cautious first." Li Xuan stood up straight, his eyes calm.

When it comes to the use of soldiers, although he is not as perceptive and calculating as Pei Xingjian, Pei Xingjian is not as good as him.

"In this way, Lone is relieved." Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xuan bowed, looked at the "Book of Song" on the table and said, "Your Highness, please continue, the minister will retire first." ”

Li Xian nodded, his gaze falling on the Book of Song.

Today, he finally understands how many conspiracies, bloody and cruel things are recorded in the history books.

That's where I started to read history books
