At a time when Gao Buer in Yangzhou was rejoicing over the sealing of the steam engine, Chang'an City was full of sustenance, because Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, had died.

I want to raise the soldiers of a state back then, raise the banner of righteousness in Taiyuan, and pacify the world, and the soldiers are invincible. But for various reasons, he is the most degraded founding monarch in history, one is because of his short reign, and he is among the two most prominent figures in history, one is Yang Guang, who can no longer be blackened by the Spring and Autumn Period, and the other is Li Er, who has mixed achievements.

Li Yuan's lack of presence in history is also largely due to being covered up by Li Er, as for why he did it? Of course, it is because his throne is not right, if Li Yuan is written too wise and martial, then as the prince who usurped the throne, he is a disloyal and unfilial person, which is not conducive to the rule of the world.

To say that Li Yuan is really as recorded in history, it is indeed not credible, he was over fifty years old when he raised troops from Taiyuan, if he is a person who has no revenge, then he only needs to be safe and stable to achieve it, at that time, he was a nobleman of the Guanlong group, high in the position of Tang Guogong and Taiyuan Stay, and it is not a problem to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory, in the early Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was just one of the courtiers under Li Yuan who could fight well, how could the credit be his, and everything would be exposed as soon as he scrutinized.

It was Li Yuan who established the system and political pattern of the early Tang Dynasty, which led to the rule of Zhenguan established by Li Er on this basis, and the later prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

In the words of Mao Taizu, it is: dignified and open-minded, willful and straightforward. Be lenient and tolerant of the public, and there is no interruption in case of trouble. This assessment is even more pertinent. Since the Xuanwumen Mutiny, he has been disheartened and has no interest in politics, and has only spent the rest of his life in the soft red of ten zhang.

The merits and demerits have turned to nothing, and now all this has disappeared with his death.

The death of the Emperor Taishang, the whole country mourned, from Chang'an as the center, the bonus turned into a vegetarian, with a speed visible to the naked eye to spread to the homeland he once ruled and the newly opened land of his son.

When it spread to Yangzhou, the angels also followed, and the emperor died, as Li Yuan's sworn brother, the unique king of Zhou in the Tang Dynasty, how could he not be informed.

After receiving the angel's letter, Gao Buer was dressed in plain clothes, and accompanied by Zhang Zhongping, who was also in plain clothes, he drove towards Chang'an in a light car.

Twenty days later, Gao Buer rushed to Chang'an and came to Shangyang Palace, which was the place where Li Yuan lived for the last ten years and the last place he left, so his coffin stopped here.

Li Er and his princes, grandsons, civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and harem concubines are all here.

"The Tang Dynasty and the country are the same as the king of Zhou, according to the courtesy, farewell to His Majesty the Emperor of Daxing!"

After the celebrant finished singing, Gao Buer entered the main hall with heavy steps, put a stick of incense in front of Li Yuanling, and then performed three kneeling and nine bows. After the salute, he was invited to the side hall by Li Er.

"How did your father die?" Gao Fuji asked.

Li Er was a little squirming.

"What? Did he die of illness? What kind of disease? ”

"Uncle Huang, my father didn't die of illness, but he lost his spirit and died of exhaustion, this kind of thing is good to say, so I died violently in the outside world."

"Oh-"

Li Er thought that Gao Buer would say something, but he didn't expect Gao Buer to say something and there was no follow-up.

As soon as Gao Buer heard Li Er's words, he knew what was going on, a person in his sixties, guarding a group of beauties every day, and his filial son would send a large number of beauties every year, a lot of bearded girls, Li Yuan was such a way to die, Gao Buer was not surprised, the last time he saw Li Yuan at the beginning, Gao Buer persuaded him, but his ambition was not there, and he was very disappointed in the world, Li Yuan chose such a method to exhaust his life, maybe the best way to die.

After a long pause, Gao Buer said slowly: "Such a way of dying, maybe it is a relief for your father, this is also his choice, what you are doing is right, people cannot be resurrected after death, and the living have to go on, but how to say, your father's life is not easy, your mother died early in the prime of life, which hit him a lot, and then there are troubled times, his life, vigorous, you are right to make the funeral grand, it is the last filial piety." ”

"Uncle Huang is serious, and the people don't dare."

"You and my uncle and nephew don't say polite words, your father died, I heard that you don't think about tea and dinner, this is not what a man should have, you are a social family, you have to take care of yourself."

"Yes, follow the teachings of the emperor."

When the ancient emperor died, the whole country had to stop holding happy events for a year, and at the same time not use swords and soldiers to the outside world.

"Now I heard that the small tribe country on the western border is restless again?"

"Yes, the countries of the Western Regions are now coerced by the Western Turks, harassing the frontier from time to time, my nephew has sent troops to fight several victories, and the arrogance of the Western Turks has also been defeated, and now they are preparing to march westward, but they put forward a condition, that is, they want my Datang to supply them with some food, and my nephew has agreed."

Gao Buer thought for a moment and said: "When your father died, don't stop the ban on foreign wars, and actively prepare for war." ”

"Is Uncle Huang worried that they will go back on their word?"
