Chapter 264: The Charm of Thought
Li Chengqian handed over the letter in his hand, and said helplessly: "It's a letter sent to me by San Lang, Aye, take a look." ”
"A letter to you, show me something." Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian, but reached out to take the letter he handed over.
"In his letter, I asked him to help him write the recital, but I didn't understand a lot of things he said, so I didn't dare to write it rashly." Li Chengqian was a little helpless.
Li Shimin: "......" recital, let the prince 2,000 miles away help you write it? How did you come up with the idea? It's you! It's too far away, Lao Tzu can't beat you, right?
"You can get used to him." Li Shimin dropped a sentence and pulled out the letter.
Li Chengqian: "??? ”
Dad, is there something wrong with what you're saying, it's what I'm used to?
When he opened the letter, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, "What's going on with this?" Li Shimin asked.
"Erchen doesn't know, but it's a bit like a hard pen in the Han Dynasty." Li Chengqian said.
"Indeed." Li Shimin carefully identified it, and it was indeed the case.
If Li Ke is here, it is estimated that he will be surprised, he thinks that the hard pen was introduced to China in later generations, but he does not know that as early as the Han Dynasty, there was a Han Dynasty hard pen made of bamboo that looks like a fountain pen.
It's just that many literati pursued calligraphy, and this kind of hard pen was extremely demanding on paper, and it was gradually phased out later.
Li Shimin didn't continue to pay attention, after reading this thing, he was directly reading the contents of the letter.
The way the whole letter is written by Li Ke at first glance, and others can't imitate it even if they want to, but the concern between the lines makes Li Shimin a little moved, Li Ke's feelings in this regard have never been hidden, unlike Li Chengqian, even if they really care, they don't say anything, they just hold it back.
It's better to have your own daughter.
When he saw the middle, Li Shimin raised his head and glanced at Li Chengqian and said: "Li Ke is right, don't put too much pressure on yourself, you must learn to relax when you should relax." ”
Li Chengqian: "......"
You didn't educate me like that back then, you said back then, a gentleman is erudite and self-conscious. He also said that the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds. Do you want to relax now?
So Li Chengqian is silent.
Li Ke's letter is very thick, the letter paper is written for nearly twenty pages, and there is a lot of nonsense, but Li Shimin doesn't dislike it, the family letter is actually quite good.
It's just that after reading it, Li Shimin also reacted, this guy, wouldn't he just want to write this nonsense at the beginning, right?
"That's what you want me to see?" Li Shimin pointed to the envelope.
"Well, some of San Lang's measures are not well understood by the ministers at the moment, so they can only ask the godfather." Li Chengqian nodded.
"The affairs of Xizhou will be handed over to him for the time being, and the affairs of this service area he said, he will leave it to him if he wants to do." Li Shimin thought for a while and said.
"But this is also a matter for the imperial court, if you don't care about it at all, it's unreasonable." Li Chengqian thought for a while.
"Why is it the matter of the imperial court?" Li Shimin smiled, "You forgot, the soldiers who transported grain to Xizhou were hired in the name of the royal family, and the money was also paid by the royal private person, that is, Li Ke's side paid for it, and there was no need for the court to pay for it, and it was because of this that Chihai was handed over to him to operate." ”
"In that case, then the affairs of this service area are also handed over to him to bear his own profits and losses, it is done, the service area has a good effect on promoting the caravan transportation of Datang, if the policy is formulated, it can be based on the effect of the service area at that time, if it fails, there is no need for the imperial court to lose any money, isn't it a good thing?"
Li Chengqian thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
"As an emperor, in Li Ke's words, you have to learn to shake the pot." Li Shimin said with a smile.
Li Chengqian: "......" You said before that as an emperor, you must have the courage to take responsibility.
"You are in this position, you don't have to be exhaustive, someone wants to do it, you let him do it, after you make it, you can regulate it according to the effect of it, if you want to know the final result in advance, it is impossible to get things done." Li Shimin added.
"Erchen understands."
"Okay, take this letter back and go see your queen mother." Li Shimin handed the letter back.
Li Chengqian folded the letter and stuffed it into his arms, and then retired.
After Li Chengqian left, Li Shimin also sat in his place and pondered, what did Li Ke do...... It's better than he thought! The speed of Tuyuhun's integration was also a little unexpected for Li Shimin, and as for the relationship between Li Ke and Tubo, Li Shimin didn't care.
Tubo and Tuyuhun are essentially the same, they seem to be vicious and abnormal, but in fact they are just fierce and inward-looking. It is not easy for the Tang Dynasty to attack Tubo, but it is equally impossible for Tubo to be like the former Jieli.
So Li Shimin naturally didn't panic, not to mention that Datang now has 50,000 soldiers on the border of Xizhou and Tubo, and if he has the ability, he will let Tubo come. There may still be some problems on the offensive side of Datang, but on defense, these nomads let them come.
When Li Shimin was thinking, Li Chengqian had also walked in the direction of the harem, he first went to see his mother, some time ago Empress Changsun's complexion was much better, because of Li Yuan's death, Empress Changsun and Li Shimin kept filial piety, and now her complexion began to become bad again.
"Mother, how is your health today?" Li Chengqian asked.
"The queen mother is fine, why did you come to the palace today?" Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.
"Queen Mother, look at the letter written by Li Ke." Li Chengqian handed over the letter he had just shown Li Shimin.
Empress Changsun was a little curious, but she didn't refuse, and after reading it, Empress Changsun looked at Li Chengqian and said with a smile: "You still need a younger brother to enlighten you?" It's nothing that you care about the queen mother, in fact, the queen mother knows that you are under pressure, so she has never asked you in this regard. ”
"But Saburo is right, you sometimes have to relax on your own."
"Yes." Li Chengqian said softly.
"Okay, you go to your aunt and tell Ke'er what she said, he took Li Su away directly, but your aunt has been worried for a long time." Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.
"Hmm." Li Chengqian agreed, and then came out of Empress Changsun and went to see Concubine Yang.
In fact, this is the first time that Li Chengqian has come to see Concubine Yang alone since he grew up, and after giving Concubine Yang a gift with a junior courtesy, Li Chengqian handed the letter to Concubine Yang.
"Da Lang, I won't read it, just tell me what Ke'er said." Concubine Yang said with a smile.
Li Chengqian paused for a moment and didn't force it, but said with a smile: "Auntie, San Lang said that he and Li Su are very good in the Western Regions, so you don't have to worry, the war in the Western Regions has been calmed down, and it won't take long to come back, and he also said that Li Su's change is quite big, and this time he will definitely not come back like before." ”
"That's good, that's good." Concubine Yang nodded busily and said, "Ke'er is also ignorant, and I bother Da Lang to come over and say that you are busy with state affairs." ”
"It's okay, as a big brother, it's also something I should do to come and see my aunt." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
