Chapter 16: Li Shimin's self-question, I am not afraid of them!
Li Shimin sighed: "So, for the sake of the overall situation of the Tang Dynasty, I can only commit myself to you to go to the Turkic side." ”
"As for your roots in Datang, Su Dingfang and them, I will take good care of them for you."
Li Kuan took a bite of food and said, "So, you gave up on me for Li Chengqian." ”
"Ashamed? used his son in exchange for the peace of the Tang Dynasty. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, there was no repentance and self-blame between his eyebrows, and he said without hesitation: "Today's Chang'an City, internal and external troubles, my father and I are never sure to win the battle." ”
"Even the Weishui Covenant, it was also my father's hard work to get Jieli's consent, for the sake of the future of the Tang Dynasty, this is inevitable."
Li Kuan smiled calmly: "Today, you sent your son and supplies because you were afraid!" Cowardly! You can't wait to send me Li Kuan out, and then respectfully ask the Turks to leave, I am afraid that the Turks will drive you down, and I am also afraid that my Li Kuan will stay in the Tang Dynasty, which will affect the succession of the crown prince you prefer. ”
"You're afraid! You're afraid of everything! ”
"As the saying goes, if there is one thing, there is the other, today you send so many good things to the Turks, tomorrow, you may have to send technology and materials to the princess to Tubo, and to other small countries to send the painstaking efforts of thousands of craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty."
"Help them deal with the Tang Dynasty, Father, this is your character."
Li Kuan said calmly, but he was disdainful in his heart.
Li Shimin is so good to those foreigners around him! Not only the Turks, but also the Tibetan side!
Give people a lot of materials and technology, just to ask for a symbolic visit.
This is called the coming of all nations.
It's scary!
If it weren't for him, Datang would definitely be even more brilliant!
Just because of him, it didn't take long for Tubo and other foreign tribes to rise rapidly, posing an endless threat to the Tang Dynasty.
Even! Later, Tubo also broke through Chang'an, and the people of the Tang Dynasty suffered countless losses, and they were bullied!
And the change of Xuanwumen is also a bad start.
As a result, in the 289-year history of the Tang Dynasty, the Li Tang royal family continued to kill each other, and the more famous Li Longji has been guarding against the prince all his life.
"You!!"
Li Shimin was angry and bloody, and couldn't help but point at Li Kuan.
But soon calmed down.
This concubine of his own will go to the Turks tomorrow, and he decided to send it, so it's normal to be a little resentful of himself.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and calmed down and said: "Kuan'er, governing the country is not so simple!" It's not that if you have a grievance, you will beat others, Jieli soldiers are in the city, and if you are not careful, the people of Chang'an will be affected, the mountains and rivers will be broken, and there are many ways only the covenant is the most suitable at the moment! ”
"Father, this is for the Tang Dynasty, and for the people of the world!!"
Li Shimin's voice was much higher, and even turned into anger.
He was telling Li Kuan that he was right, and he was also telling himself that his decision was not wrong!!
Signing an alliance can save the people and the court from disaster, but it is just a matter of sending supplies and sending a Li Kuan.
That's right!
Not afraid!!
Seeing that Li Kuan was not frightened by his momentum, Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he secretly said that he was worthy of being the king of Chu, if it was replaced by Li Chengqian and Li Tai, he would be so angry that he would only want to drill into the ground.
Li Shimin took a deep breath again and said seriously: "Kuan'er, your sacrifice is indeed very great, everyone can see it, my father will remember your sacrifice, so will the imperial court, and even more so will the people of the Tang Dynasty!" This will be the first step for my Datang to enter the prosperous era! ”
Li Kuan was willing to speak now, his eyes were full of stars, and he sighed very much: "The prosperous age, the prosperous era of the feudal dynasty in the past, is it the prosperous age of the people?" It's just a prosperous age for the worldly and high-ranking people. ”
These words made Li Shimin stunned, and after a while, he laughed, picked up a piece of meat and put it in Li Kuan's bowl.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that."
"Come on, Kuan'er, this is your favorite fillet meat when you were a child, try how it tastes."
"And this, Hu Bi, haha! When you were a child, you pestered your father to buy it for you. ”
Li Kuan looked at Li Shimin, who was breaking the meat and bread, shook his head and said, "Father, how long have you not known about my life." ”
Li Shimin's hand breaking the cake paused.
His eyes were stunned.
Li Kuan continued to speak: "You said it, this is what I liked to eat when I was a child, and now, after so many years, do you think people will still be the same as before?" ”
"People's desires will change step by step with age, and I Li Kuan has long disliked these foods."
Of course he didn't like it.
He is not the sick man Li Kuan before!
It's a brand-new, different King of Chu, Li Kuan!!
When Li Shimin heard this, he didn't know how to speak.
Truly.
He paid little attention to the life of this concubine, after all, people's energy is limited, and over the years, he has fought in the north and south, and even Li Chengqian and Li Tai have paid little attention, let alone the concubine Li Kuan.
Li Kuan glanced at him and said slowly: "Father, don't pretend to be here, it's really disgusting." ”
"After I leave, if you have time, you should pay more attention to the prince."
"Some people, once they don't catch it strictly, the road will be crooked."
"Okay, I, Li Kuan, have eaten enough, father, you can continue to eat."
Li Kuan left his seat and returned to his original position to read the military book.
Li Shimin was stunned by what he said, and he only felt that there was a nameless anger in his heart that he wanted to release, but! He held back!
He looked back at Li Kuan, his eyes were inexplicable, he didn't know what to think, and finally turned into a long sigh.
"Your eldest brother, his father will watch."
"After all, it is to exchange you for his stability, and the Tang in his hand must be strong, Fang! Worthy of your efforts today! ”
Li Shimin will rest assured about this matter, and he will supervise Li Chengqian's every move to avoid going astray.
After eating.
After asking the palace maid to take away the things, Li Shimin began to deal with government affairs again.
It wasn't until it was time to fall asleep that he stopped.
"Kuan'er, it's not early, let's make do with sleep here today."
"Father, I will also accompany you."
"Tomorrow, you remember to bring more warm clothes, the weather over there is not as good as Datang, you should take precautions."
Li Shimin gave advice.
looked worried about his son's travel.
Li Kuan saw it in his eyes and smiled: "Okay, I will." ”
Didn't say much.
Turn off the lights and go to bed.
Waiting for tomorrow's handover.
And this night is of great significance.
It was the first time Li Shimin slept in Taiji Palace, and it was also the first time he slept in the same room with Li Kuan.
As for Li Kuan.......
I didn't hurt him since I was a child.
Maybe.......
It was to say goodbye to Li Kuan tomorrow that awakened the little bit of fatherly love in Li Shimin's heart.
.….….….….….….
Vertical day.
The gates of the imperial city leading to the outside of Chang'an City were all wide open, and Jin Wuwei stood neatly on both sides, making a road for carriages to pass in the middle.
On both sides of the road, there were many people who had been waiting for a long time, and seeing that Jin Wuwei was serious, they all knew that yesterday's notice was not a lie, and the king of Chu was really going to be sent to the Turks to usher in peace.
