Chapter 5 Knowledge of Current Affairs

When Yuan Ling heard Li Shimin's reprimand, he felt relieved.

Li Yuan was really good to him, his "son". Knowing that his deadline was approaching, in addition to instructing Li Shimin to treat him well, he also specifically told him about Li Shimin's character and temperament.

No one knows a son is better than a father.

Li Yuan still has a very thorough understanding of his second son.

Li Shimin was open-minded and generous, and accepted advice as if he were accused of, but he also had the other side of being very happy with merit and face.

As long as Li Yuanai caters to Li Shimin appropriately and Li Yuan’s entrusted responsibilities on his deathbed, Li Yuanai will have no worries about food and clothing in his life.

Such a huge empire would not be unable to afford a borer.

However, when Li Yuanai saw Li Shimin, he wanted to take a detour and did not take Li Yuan's good intentions to heart.

Yuan Ling achieved miraculous results according to his little memory at this time.

Li Shimin scolded and continued, "I still know a little."

Yuan Ling said with a serious look on his face: "I have nothing else, but the key is to have self-knowledge. The emperor's brother is unsupported, and he is unable to bear the great responsibility, so he can only show off his power on this road. After all, he is the Li family's son, and he finally did not embarrass his father."

When Li Shimin heard him mention Li Yuan, he said angrily: "You still remember your father and remember that you are the Li family. If you really want your father to know, you might be able to deal with you."

"No!" Yuan Ling smiled and said with apologies: "The father loves me the most."

"Yes!" Li Shimin sighed, containing a lot of sorrow, and he had a particularly complicated relationship with his father.

Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan and his wife Dugu, had four sons, and he ranked second. The eldest brother Li Jiancheng, the third brother Li Yuanji, and the fourth brother Li Xuanba. The fourth brother died young and the third brother was extremely ugly. The ugly thing made his mother Dugu not recognize this son. Since he was a child, his father did not love him and his mother did not love him. Because Li Jiancheng was the eldest brother, he set up his own business very early and stayed in his hometown in Hedong.

Only he followed Li Yuan as a child: Li Yuan was highly valued by Emperor Wen Yang Jian and Yang Guang in his early years, and was promoted to the governor of Qiao, Qi, and Long. He was also in Xingyang. Lou Fan served as the prefect general. He went all the way up to the ambassador of Hedong, Shanxi, and He served as the ambassador of Taiyuan. The Jinyang Palace Supervisor became the highest military and political chief in the Longxing land of Li Tang. In nearly ten years, Li Shimin was the only legitimate son who often accompanied Li Yuan.

Li Yuan and Li Shimin have a deep father-son relationship.

He is the most favored and the most outstanding one in his family.

When Li Shimin was determined to seek the prince, he always thought that his father who loved the most would stand on his side. He never expected that when he decided on the future authority of the world, his most beloved father would support his elder brother Li Jiancheng without hesitation.

In the end, it turned into a tragedy in Xuanwu Gate, where the father was imprisoned and the brothers killed. This stain that could never be washed away will accompany you for generations.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the world was in great order. Li Jing attacked the Turks in the north, captured the Turkic Khan Jie Li, and completely eliminated the disaster in the north.

The first thing Li Shimin did to accomplish this feat was to invite Li Yuan and let Jie Li dance for Li Yuan with the honor of Khan.

Li Shimin just wanted to prove himself and let his father know that he was really better than his elder brother Li Jiancheng and more qualified to take on the future of the Tang Dynasty.

"Father..."

After a while, he said, "I love you the most."

Li Shimin could no longer raise the thought of dealing with his younger brother and said, "Looking at the face of his father, this matter will not be investigated. Remember, the father will protect you for a while, but will not protect you for a lifetime. Next time, I will never forgive you."

Yuan Ling did not dare to pretend to be garlic in front of Li Shimin, so he quickly agreed, saying that he would not make any mistakes again. He looked at the money he won, and looked full of heartache. However, Li Shimin's money was hot and he pretended to be generous: "The emperor has been planning for the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo. Today, I won a lot of money, and I took it all out to support the emperor."

Li Shimin had no expression on his face, but he was happy in his heart. Looking at Li Yuan, he relieved his punishment, but he had to ask for the money he had spit out.

Compared to the spitting star that gave Wei Zheng a look, Yuan Ling was obviously better bullying.

He was able to take the initiative to hand over, which saved him a lot of trouble.

only……

The plot to Goguryeo is considered the highest secret of the Tang Dynasty.

Goguryeo is not strong, but it is an extremely difficult opponent.

The Sui Dynasty was a very obvious lesson.

The Sui Dynasty had rich heritage left by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Kaihuang ruled by Emperor Wen Yang Jian. As a result, the chaos caused by three conquests of Goguryeo seriously weakened China's strength, resulting in a sharp decline in the world's population by three quarters, leaving behind a severe split civil war, allowing the surrounding alien races to take advantage of the situation, and even Tuyuhun returned to his old place to capture the Sui Dynasty Heyou, and the Eastern Turks even reached the extreme level of "Rong Di is strong, which has never been seen in ancient times". The Turkic Khan directly included some areas of the Central Plains of the Sui Dynasty into the sphere of influence, and also wanted to follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Dao to conquer the Central Plains. All the major princes in the north had room for rise because of the support of the Turks, even the Li Tang was no exception.

The Turks played the technique of balance. They supported this today and who would support tomorrow? The fight was to weaken the overall strength of the Chinese dynasty, so they could achieve it overnight.

But the calculations were made that the Li family father and son were too powerful and their rise was irresistible. They wiped out the heroes and killed them in just a few years.

With this precedent, Li Shimin is even more cautious and cautious in this matter.

In essence, there is no difference between Li Shimin and Yang Guang. They are both far-sighted and very happy to be successful. The only difference is that Li Shimin can control himself, while Yang Guang is more straightforward and acts arbitrarily.

Always preparing secretly, waiting for the highest secret, let an inconspicuous person reveal it in one word?

This shock is conceivable.

"Where did you hear this?"

Yuan Ling suddenly felt that the atmosphere was wrong, so he called out to himself, but couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Of course it was taught in the book."

Who would not know that in the last few years of Li Shimin's life, Goguryeo was always thinking about.

Yuan Ling reacted quickly and said without much hesitation: "What kind of person is the emperor's brother? Qin Emperor and Han Wu are just like this. Now our Tang Dynasty is powerful and powerful. The Eastern Turks, Tuyuhun and Gaochang have been destroyed for many years. Tubo's arrogance has also been destroyed by our dynasty. Looking around, Goguryeo hides in the northeast, and with the convenience of the terrain, he will survive and be destroyed by the emperor sooner or later."

Li Shimin laughed in silence and said, "Then I will lend you auspicious words!"

What Yuan Ling said was all meaningless truth, just like Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan want to unify the world.

Who doesn’t know that the talented and powerful Three Kingdoms want to unify the world?

The specific operation details are the key.

At that moment, Li Shimin thought that his thoughts had penetrated.

However, Changsun Wuji looked at Yuan Ling thoughtfully, but he was not as easy to fool as Li Shimin.

Li Shimin is not a fool, but he stands too high and has too many things to worry about, so he is unwilling to think about and analyze such small things.

This is also the reason why many wise and powerful emperors will believe in some treacherous and make some ridiculous mistakes.

It is not that the emperor himself is not capable, but that he stands too high and sees too far, and loses his attention.
