Looking at Sun Simiao's thoughtful appearance, Qin Tian smiled slightly.

"If you meet a beggar on the side of the road and you are about to starve to death, will you save it or not?"

Sun Simiao replied without hesitation: "Then do you still need to ask, of course it is saved." ”

This is a question that doesn't require any thinking at all, and Sun Simiao gave his own answer without thinking about it.

"But if I tell you, this person will grow into a generation of khans on the grassland in thirty years, bringing the entire Tang Dynasty into the abyss of war, setting off wave after wave of rebellions......"

"Even because of this, Datang will no longer be able to return to heaven until it perishes, will you save it or not?"

Sun Simiao thought about it for a moment.

This also seems to be a problem that does not need to be considered at all.

If you save a murderer who is about to change the world, then why do you need to save the other person?

Sun Simiao gave a negative answer without hesitation.

"Really?" Qin Tian was not surprised by Sun Simiao's answer.

"But you can never know if the person you saved is a future demon, or a great good, or just an ordinary person."

"If you unknowingly save a murderous demon, and he comes back to life and kills more people, then the question is, are you doing a good deed, or are you ......"

Sun Simiao was stunned.

It was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a philosophical problem.

This is destined to be an unsolvable answer.

"This ...... This kind of problem is really ...... Some of them are a little too embarrassing. ”

Sun Simiao smiled bitterly.

"So, why bother so much."

Qin Tian smiled faintly: "Just do it when you think about it, if you think too much, it is easy to fall into a strange circle where everything has no meaning." ”

"It's like being the emperor, why bother with what angle he is doing things?"

"It is enough to know that his final result and purpose are good, and the impact on the people is also good."

Qin Tian said softly.

Although Sun Simiao didn't fully understand Qin Tian's words, he still bowed.

"Taught."

"What is taught or not is nothing more than discussion." Qin Tian waved his hand.

It's just that Qin Tian didn't expect that some of the topics he casually talked about today would actually promote the birth of one of the most famous philosophers in history.

During his lifetime, Sun Simiao raised countless philosophical questions, and based on what he saw and heard, he formed his own ideological system, which influenced countless doctors in later generations.

The days that followed were peaceful, even lackluster.

After Li Shimin became the crown prince, everything was going on in an orderly manner.

It's just that there are some rumors about Li Shimin in society from time to time.

Anyway, it is probably how holy and great Li Shimin is, either who he promotes today or who he will pardon tomorrow.

The streets and alleys are talking about these news, and they are happy to do so.

Qin Tian was not interested in these things, Sun Simiao chatted with Qin Tian a few times and found that Qin Tian was not interested in these things, and he never mentioned these things again.

On the ninth day of August, Li Yuan passed the throne to Li Shimin.

On this day, the whole world celebrates together to celebrate the emergence of Li Shimin, the new emperor.

Li Shimin's enthronement ceremony was held in the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, Qin Tian glanced at it with his divine sense, and then ignored it.

Anyway, since ancient times, the emperor's ascension to the throne has been nothing more than that set, and it is very boring.

However, there is a lot of discussion among the people, and many people are proud to have first-hand information.

Li Shimin's accession to the throne was just that he appointed Pei Lian, the Duke of Wei, to burn wood and sacrifice to the sky in the southern suburbs, and after the ceremony was completed, Li Shimin immediately announced an amnesty to the world.

In order to win people's hearts, Li Shimin can be said to have made a bloody investment.

It seems that in order to prove that his accession to the throne is to inherit the orthodoxy, so since the first year of Wude, all the people who have been punished and exiled for their outspokenness have been released!

In addition, the most generous is the reward of knighthood.

If a civil and military official has more than five ranks, if he has no title before, he will be given a knighthood of the first grade.

and those below the sixth grade are awarded the first class.

What makes the people happiest is also the highlight of this amnesty, that is, the world is exempt from taxation and forced labor for a full year!

If the previous ones have nothing to do with ordinary people, at most they are just after-dinner conversations, then this one is directly related to the interests of all the people in the world.

Hearing the news, the whole country rejoiced.

To some extent, this is even equivalent to the state directly sending money!

Li Shimin's prestige among the people has increased unprecedentedly!

Nine days later, on August 18, Li Shimin let 3,000 palace maids go home.

said that it was 3,000 people, but in fact, it was only an approximation, anyway, there were many palace maids who came home from the palace.

This was Li Shimin's means of co-opting civil and military officials.

Returning the palace maid home represents Li Shimin's decision to be diligent and love the people.

You see, I have returned the palace maids home, and everyone can rest assured, I will definitely not be like those previous emperors, who only care about pleasure after ascending the throne!

However, the situation soon took a turn for the worse.

The day after Li Shimin released the palace maid home, that is, on August 19, the border pass reported urgently that the Turkic Jieli Khan and the Turkic Khan led troops to invade Jingzhou!

Bad news one after another, August 20, the Turkic invasion of martial arts, martial law in Beijing!

Before the people of the capital could react, only four days later, on the twenty-fourth day of August, the Turks actually hit Gaoling!

Everyone in Jingshi is at risk.

Even Sun Simiao couldn't help but worry all day long, for fear that one day the Turks would rush into the capital!

This is the most dangerous time for Datang since the founding of the People's Republic of China!

I don't know how the Turkic Jieli Khan got the news, and he actually took advantage of the unstable foothold of the Tang Dynasty to launch an attack brazenly!

Qin Tian is an old god, and he is not in a hurry at all.

"Brother Qin's bearing, it's really ......"

Looking at Qin Tian, who was not anxious at all, Sun Simiao was a little ashamed.

"When would it be nice if I had such a calm attitude as Brother Qin."

Qin Tian smiled slightly.

He simply knew that there would be no suspense in this battle at all.

The Emperor of the Ages is playing with you!

How could Li Shimin allow his good days to be interrupted.

The Turks are too arrogant, and sooner or later they will suffer a big loss!

Unlike Qin Tian's ease, Li Shimin in the palace was a little worried.

"Your Majesty, the jade statue that was dug up that day ......," Du Ruhui walked in and asked.

At the beginning, Li Shimin originally planned to use the miracle of the statue to build momentum for himself.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the news was released, the situation reached the most critical time, because Li Shimin didn't have time to use the statue at all.

Later, after success, because he was too busy, Li Shimin simply forgot about the statue.

In order to plan that day, the statue has been stored well by Du Ruhui, in order to take it out for Li Shimin when necessary.

It's just that everything happened too suddenly that day, and although there were twists and turns, it was still very smooth on the whole, and naturally the statue was not used.

As Du Ruhui expected, Li Shimin had long forgotten the statue.

"What statue?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered.

"You said that, that ......" Li Shimin hesitated.

When the statue was unearthed that day, it did have some visions of heaven and earth, and he even publicized the destiny of heaven to the outside world.

But he was not very interested in things like the vision of the Mandate of Heaven, and when he got into trouble, what was going on with those so-called visions of heaven and earth, others didn't know, didn't he know it himself?

So Li Shimin didn't take the matter of the statue to heart at all, otherwise he wouldn't have forgotten it so simply.

"You look at it, it's ......," Li Shimin waved his hand impatiently.

But he quickly thought of something.

"No, that's it, you can send it to the inner money."

Li Shimin suddenly thought that although he didn't advocate pleasure, he still needed some treasures to support the scene.

Such a huge jade is rare in the world, even if it is useless, it looks good just by looking at it in the inner garment.

If there is an emergency in the future, you can also take it out and sell it for emergency.

Du Ruhui received the order and was just about to leave, but was stopped by Li Shimin.

"Isn't there any news from the front?"

Du Ruhui shook his head: "Back to the saint, the front line...... No news has come back yet. ”

Li Shimin exhaled a breath of turbid air slightly.

"I know, you can go down."

Since becoming emperor, everything has not been quite the same.

In other words, since he started to take charge of all the affairs of the court two months ago, many things have been different from when he was the king of Qin before.

When he was the King of Qin before, he didn't need to manage so many things at all.

But now that he has ascended the throne, he wants to make a career to prove himself, and Li Shimin suddenly found that there are too many things to deal with, and he can't solve them alone.

Fortunately, he also had Du Ruhui and others by his side to assist.

But wave after wave of unsettled, just after pacifying the remnants of the eldest brother, the Turks actually came again!

This is really killing Li Shimin!

The situation was urgent, and Li Shimin had no choice but to send Wei Chigong to fight the Turks.

"Calculate the time...... It should be soon, right? ”

Li Shimin was a little worried.

This concern is not unfounded.

The Turks have always been a major problem for the Central Plains Dynasty.

Fifty years ago, when the Sui Dynasty was still strong, the Turks were once beaten to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers.

But later, after only a few decades, the Turks directly hit the capital of the Sui Dynasty, and even almost captured Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty!

Even Li Yuan, when he first started to raise troops against the Sui, he needed to bow down to the Turks.

Even after conquering Chang'an City, he gave gold, silver, jewelry, and even women to the Turks!

And this, in exchange for just some war horses.

This is simply a shame for Li Shimin!

Now the Turks are taking advantage of the fact that Datang's foothold is not stable and they are invading the south again, but I am afraid that if it cannot be solved, Datang has just been established for only ten years, and it will be the back road of the violent Sui!

How could he not be worried?

"This humiliation...... Sooner or later, I'll have to pay it back to you! Li Shimin clenched his fists and slammed it the table!

This young man, who was only twenty-seven years old, at this moment, had infinite anger rising in his heart!

Angry is angry, Li Shimin is still sensible.

Of course, he knew that with his current strength, he was actually not capable of fighting a decisive battle with the Turks.

On the contrary, he even had to take the initiative to avoid fighting the Turks.

Although he did not listen to the summaries of the great men of later generations, Li Shimin's political wisdom told him that it would definitely not work to seek peace directly.

The other party is clearly here to fight the autumn wind, if you come up and show weakness first, can you still be good?

Maybe the Turks just came to fight the autumn breeze and test the Tang Dynasty.

Now that you show weakness, the other party simply won't leave, and maybe even destroy Datang directly!

So even if it's a reconciliation, at least you have to have a fight first.

With victory in hand, Datang has the capital to negotiate and the possibility of reconciliation with the other party!

……

"The Turks are powerful, can't we just sue for peace?"

"No, absolutely not." Qin Tian shook his head and denied Sun Simiao's question.

"Remember the saying, if you seek peace through struggle, you will survive in peace, and if you seek peace through compromise, you will die in peace."

Qin Tian said word by word: "What you can't get on the battlefield, you must not want to get it during the negotiation!" ”

"If you come up and show weakness first, the other party will definitely not let you go!"

Qin Tian said slowly: "Hunters never let go of injured prey, only if you are strong enough can you scare off hunters!" ”

Sun Simiao was dumbfounded: "Deafening, thought-provoking!" ”

"Yes, that's right!"

Sun Simiao clapped his hands and sighed: "Brother Qin's short two sentences actually explained the word war to the letter!" ”

"Yes...... Can Datang really win? ”

Although Sun Simiao agrees with Qin Tian's statement, as long as he understands the general trend of the world, he will definitely not have too high expectations for Datang.

For no other reason, the Turks are now too powerful.

At the time of the uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty, all the local heroes and powers were subservient to the Turks.

Even Li Yuan is the same.

The strength of the Turks has long been engraved in the minds of the people and cannot be erased.

Don't talk about Sun Simiao, even Li Shimin is not completely sure!

Before he ascended the throne, he could personally lead the army.

If he himself had been present, he would certainly not have feared any Turks.

But now, as the emperor, he can't personally lead the army to the battle, right?

Therefore, everything can only be relied on by his generals.

It's not that Li Shimin doesn't believe in his generals, it's just that it's the first time he's waiting for news from the front line in the palace alone.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, believe in our generals of the Tang Dynasty." Qin Tian said lightly: "The Turks seem to be powerful, but they are just strong on the outside. ”

"This time it will be safe and sound."

"Datang Datang ......" Sun Simiao shook his head: "I always listen to Brother Qin talk about Datang, and I don't know when we will be able to meet the real Datang!" ”

Qin Tian smiled and said nothing: "Believe me, you will be able to see that day soon." ”

Datang's Datang is not used casually.

Now in the entire Tang Kingdom, no one will call their country by the Tang Dynasty.
