Chapter 25: The Book of Victors History
"It seems that the siege of Daxing City is going well, your fifth brother ......"
Chu Zhen held a ballpoint pen in his hand and looked at Li Shimin.
"The fifth brother has been rescued!" Li Shimin smiled heartily.
"Saved?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to be surprised, and glanced at Chu Zhen, "If I remember correctly, there are not many records about your fifth brother in the history books, and he should have been killed." ”
"In the old and new Tang books, Li Zhiyun, the king of Chu, was killed by the general Yin Shishi, who defended the city."
Li Qingzhao interjected.
"The fifth brother is indeed named the king of Chu now."
Li Shimin nodded and said with a smile: "Now Daxing has been renamed Chang'an by my father. After a pause, he continued: "I have also walked through the Xuanwu Gate many times, and entered the Taiji Palace from the West Inner Garden. ”
After a pause, Li Shimin said slowly: "After seeing the East Palace, the West Inner Garden, and the Taiji Palace with my own eyes, I understood why there was a change in the Xuanwu Gate. ”
He personally mentioned the Xuanwu Gate.
On the contrary, several people present did not pick up the topic for a while.
After learning about the Xuanwu Gate from Chu Zhen, thinking about it in the past year, Li Shimin must have thought about it many times, why Xuanwu Gate?
Until he invaded Daxing City and established Yang Yu as the emperor, Yang Guang was killed in Jiangdu, the Tang Dynasty was established, and Li Yuan entered the palace of Daxing City.
Li Shimin saw Xuanwumen with his own eyes and knew why.
Xuanwu Gate is the fastest place to enter the Taiji Palace, and it can get close to his father, Emperor Li Yuan, in the shortest distance!
"There will be no more Xuanwu Gate!!"
Li Shimin's voice was low, and he sat there, his fists clenched, as if he had made an oath.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat opposite him, peeling the mango with his hand, and said leisurely: "Let's wait until your ministers are like rain and the generals are like clouds." ”
He took a bite of the mango flesh and praised: "This taste is as delicious as the aroma, sweet and soft, good fruit!" ”
In front of him who has been sitting in the country for thirteen years, Li Shimin is still too tender now.
"The Qin Wangfu now has Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Liu Hongji, etc., plus the auxiliary machine - that is, my uncle's eldest grandson Wuji assists, although it is not as good as a minister, and a fierce general is like a cloud, but it can also compete in the Central Plains!"
Li Shimin did not agree with Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "If you want to win the world, this person is not enough." ”
Li Shimin did not speak again.
Chu Zhen asked him: "What month is the first year of Wude?" How did your fifth brother save him? The Yin World Master actually let him go? ”
"In May of the first year of Wude, the Yin World Master is now under my brother's command." Li Shimin replied.
"He's not even dead?!"
Chu Zhen was surprised, "Didn't he dig up your Li family's ancestral grave?" ”
"Poof."
Behind the bookshelf, Li Qingzhao tried his best to cover his mouth to hold back his laughter, and Lin Daiyu, who was sitting next to him eating lychees, took a sip and said with a smile: "Uncle Chu spoke more straightforwardly. ”
Li Shimin's expression was subtle, "My family's ancestral tomb was destroyed by order of Emperor Sui Ming, and it can't be blamed on the Yin World Master." ”
"Emperor Ming of Sui?"
Chu Zhen knew that it was Yang Guang who ordered the digging of Li Yuan's ancestral grave, which was the Emperor of Sui Ming in his mouth, but he was still stunned by this title.
A talented woman who eats lychees reminds in a timely manner:
"'Ming' is the grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui, and Yang Tong, the king of Yue, was called emperor in Luoyang under the support of Wang Shichong, and gave Emperor Yang a nickname. Afterwards, Tang Gao ...... Li Erlang's father changed his name to Yang. In addition, Dou Xia gave Emperor Yang the nickname 'Min'. ”
Chu Zhen understood.
The Dou Xia in Li Qingzhao's mouth is the Xia Dynasty established by Dou Jiande.
Emperor Ming of Sui, Emperor Yang of Sui, and Emperor Min of Sui all refer to Yang Guang.
History was indeed written by the victors, and the Tang Dynasty unified the world, so Yang Guang's final nickname was Yang.
In addition, because the Yin Shishi surrendered early, Li Yuan did not vent his anger at the excavation of the ancestral grave on him, and the blame was also put on Yang Guang.
"Dou Jiande has not yet been proclaimed emperor."
Li Shimin said: "Wang Shichong is now one of the seven nobles of Luoyang, and when he led the troops to fight with Uncle Li, Yu Wenhua also led the troops to attack Luoyang, and the three sides fought in a melee...... In addition, Xue Ju of Longxi has 130,000 troops, claiming to be the overlord of Western Qin, and is trying to follow the example of the Qin Dynasty to sweep Liuhe, from the west to the east towards my Tang Dynasty, my father ordered me to lead 70,000 troops alone, with the marching chief Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan as the long history, to meet Xue Ju! ”
Li Shimin explained to Chu Zhen what happened during this time.
Just a month after his father and son captured Daxing, Li Mi - Li Yuan of Wagangzhai had a lot of correspondence with him, and they were the same clan as each other, so Li Shimin called him Uncle Li.
Li Mi also led an army of 300,000 to march to the eastern capital of Luoyang, at this time Yang Guang was not dead, he was furious, and sent troops back to rescue.
The war lasted for many months.
Soon after, Yu Wenhua strangled Yang Guang in Jiangdu, and Wang Shichong of Luoyang and others supported Yang Dong as emperor.
The Central Plains was hot, the Sui Dynasty and the two capitals, Daxing fell, Luoyang was in the midst of war, and Xue Ju of Longxi was not willing to be lonely, leading 100,000 soldiers and horses, and rushed towards Chang'an City.
"The world is in turmoil, and wars are frequent."
Zhu Yuanzhang commented: "Your father and son occupy one of the two capitals of the Sui Dynasty, and they are located in the Central Plains, and they are surrounded by enemies on all sides, and Xue Ju in Longxi is only the first battle of Tang Liguo!" There are countless battles of all sizes that will be faced in the future. ”
"It's better to say that Xue Ju's attack is too wonderful!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled again: "When the Tang Dynasty was first built, there were enemies on all sides, whether you want to go south, north or east, you have to worry about Xue Ju in the west taking the opportunity to make trouble, and now he can't bear to send troops from Longxi, you just need to wait for work, stick to the pass for two or three months, Xue Ju will be defeated." ”
Li Shimin glanced at the old man in his fifties before nodding: "Sticking to the pass is my strategy!" ”
Chu Zhen couldn't understand the conversation between the two military geniuses, and he was a little suspicious that Zhu Yuanzhang had read the history books before saying this.
But Zhu Yuanzhang led his troops to fight, he knew the terrain of many places, knew Chang'an and Longxi, maybe he only needed to listen to who attacked and who defended, he could know the difficulty of supplying both sides, and know the general march route.
Li Qingzhao didn't interject, eating lychees while looking here.
"I remember the first time you fought Xue Ju and suffered a defeat."
Zhu Yuanzhang said the contents of the history books, but Li Shimin was unmoved.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Zhen again: "Just let Chu Zhen give you a copy of the history of the Tang Dynasty, how to take a look at it and understand!" ”
Chu Zhen suddenly realized that Zhu Chongba was fighting this idea.
"Not necessarily."
Li Shimin flatly refused, "The history books can't be trusted, won't my fifth brother be saved?" Furthermore, if I read the history books and knew that Xue Ju was sick and died, wouldn't I send troops and wait for Xue Ju to die of illness? If I really lose the battle, it is also my lack of resourcefulness. ”
"You're afraid of Xuanwumen, right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed directly at Li Shimin's sore spot.
Because, he understands Li Shimin, just like when he heard the name Zhu Qizhen, he didn't sleep peacefully for three days!
"This king will say again, there will be no more Xuanwu Sect!"
Li Shimin's face was cold.
For the first time, he called himself the king, which made several people present realize that the young man in front of him was not only a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, but also Tang Taizong, who would be famous in history in the future.
Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Meng Yuan and considered himself a meritorious achievement, but in the face of Tang Taizong, he did not dare to say that Wenzhi and martial arts won him.
Now Li Shimin is a young man with a strong body, and if there is a conflict, he will definitely not be able to defeat him.
The scene was silent for a while.
Chu Zhen smiled: "Don't worry, Li Shimin, the reason why you were defeated is that the history books say that you are suffering from malaria." ”
"Malaria?!"
Li Shimin was taken aback.
He is not afraid on the battlefield, but the disease is not something he can control, and it is difficult to ride a horse once he is sick, let alone go to the battlefield.
"You can prepare in advance, just in case, and I'll send you some medicine, not to prescribe the right medicine, but to be a dead horse doctor, after all, I'm not a doctor."
"Shimin remember, thank you Mr. Chu!"
Li Shimin stood up and saluted.
Chu Zhen asked him to sit down, and then said, "I'll give you another map, that's it." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously looked at the map hanging on the wall, and without waiting for Chu Zhen to mention it, he said to himself: "I have asked the queen to prepare a return gift for you, and within three days, I will bring it to you!" ”
"It's good if you remember."
Chu Zhen clicked a few times on the computer.
The projector lights up.
This time, without waiting for him to call for help, Li Qingzhao and Lin Daiyu stood up and went to pull up the curtains, and Li Shimin also closed the curtains nearby.
Soon, a huge, aqua-blue sphere was projected onto the wall.
The aqua blue sphere rotates slowly.
Zhu Yuanzhang's pupils shrank, he stood up suddenly, and looked at the blue ball: "These are clouds?!" This ball is ...... All over the world?! All under heaven?! ”
Li Shimin looked at it distractedly.
He also saw that on the blue ball, the floating white mist was clouds, and those blue were the ocean, and on the continent, there were unfamiliar place names.
"Pacific, Solomon, Singapore, Thailand, Tianzhu ......"
In the end, after the water blue ball slowly rotated around, it was frozen in a familiar and unfamiliar place for Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Qingzhao, and Lin Daiyu.
Chinese.
They saw the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.
