Tiantang Splendid

4251 - Heart Han Tang
In the middle of the night, the heavy rain that had lasted for several days actually stopped, and the night sky was as black as ink, without stars or moon.The Tai Chi Palace in Nuoda is lit up everywhere. The clean and bright pavilions, wall tiles and floor tiles washed by the rain are bright and bright under the lights, against the billowing dark clouds covering the night sky, which is quite a fantasy.

Fang Jun is staying in the palace tonight. After all, Yuchi Gong rushed to the Baqiao area, and the garrisons in Guanzhong are about to move. The current situation is unstable, and Li Chengqian always needs a trusted person to counsel the military...

Around Xu time, Li Chengqian, who had finished handling military affairs, felt a little empty in his stomach, and asked people to see if Fang Jun was asleep, and when he learned that he was reading in the side hall, he called him over to have dinner together.

Fang Jun is very concerned about the way of keeping in good health. He usually eats less for dinner, and he doesn’t eat much in the middle of the night like this. When the rain stopped, he suggested to go for a walk to eliminate food, and Li Chengqian readily agreed.

The night wind after the rain was a bit chilly. After all, it was early autumn. The two monarchs and ministers each wore a cloak, and a servant on the left and right each carried a lantern and strolled in the Tai Chi Palace.

As they walked, they came to the vicinity of the Taiji Hall, so the two of them climbed up the white marble steps in front of the hall, and came outside the tight gate of the Taiji Hall. You can have a panoramic view of Chang'an City, Zhuque Gate, Zhuque Street, and half of the well-planned Chang'an City. You must have seen it during the day, but Chang'an City at night looks more majestic and majestic.

The servant brought two horses, and the monarch and his ministers sat side by side at the end of the steps at the entrance of the Taiji Hall, overlooking the Chang'an City under the lights.

Li Chengqian took a panoramic view of the splendid and majestic city, and asked: "To tell you the truth, I have been restless since I ascended the throne. I am afraid that I will not be able to manage this huge empire better, and I will fail the expectations of the subjects of the world."

He didn't mention His Majesty Li Er, because His Majesty Li Er had long disliked his ability to be a qualified emperor and manage this huge empire and the splendid country more securely.

But in his heart, His Majesty Li Er's opinion is the sharpest thorn. He doesn't talk about it, but he really cares about it in his heart. Prove his ability, but also prove that the father's view is wrong.

Fang Jun has long been immersed in this picture with an extremely heavy sense of history. Hearing this, he said slowly: "Actually, your majesty is not too persistent. This land is rich and beautiful, and this group of people are hardworking and simple. All we need is to give them a peaceful and peaceful life. , You can re-establish a glorious civilization on top of the ruins, there is no need to worry about it. On the contrary, if your majesty is persistent, or if you fall into the nest, let everything take its course."

Li Chengqian was silent for a while, a little curious: "When your father was here before, you didn't seem to care much about power, fame and fortune. All kinds of absurd behaviors were completely unlike those in the official career. It didn't matter whether you were promoted or dismissed from office. During the mutiny, you uncharacteristically supported me with all your strength, even at all costs? I know that this is due to the friendship between you and me, but there must be other reasons."

In fact, whether he ascended the throne or a pheasant slave, it didn't have much impact on Fang Jun, a person who had no pursuit of fame and power.

Only relying on past achievements, foundation in the court, and especially the status of the military flag, it is not difficult to enjoy wealth and honor in peace and stability.

I don't know when a cool wind blew, and the dark clouds in the sky were blown up and down. After a while, they all disappeared, and the cold moonlight poured down, covering Nuoda's palace with a layer of pale silver like frost and snow. halo.

Fang Jun looked at the scenery in front of him obsessively, and said quietly: "If I say that the dynasty in the world has never lasted forever, and there will be a day when it will fall apart, will you, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, be unhappy?"

Li Chengqian thought for a while, then nodded and said: "There is a little bit of discomfort, and it is not enough to be unhappy. After all, this is the truth. The Great Qin annexed the six countries, unified the rivers and mountains, and cast the Nine Tripods to suppress the dragon veins of Shenzhou; The Xiongnu hollowed out the Western Regions, drank the vast sea of ​​horses, and sealed the wolves to live in Xu; the former Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty swept away the haze in the troubled times and unified the Kyushu. ? No matter how powerful the Tang Dynasty is, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape such an end in the end."

The rise and fall of dynasties and the change of imperial power are like the cycle of seasons and the alternation of day and night. Who in the world can stop it?

Fang Jun nodded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and pointed at the lights of thousands of families and the magnificent city tower in the darkness in front of him: "No one can live forever, and no dynasty can last forever, but even in the future, ten thousand years, Countless dynasties are like countless stars in the sky, but there are still a few stars that can shine in the sky and be remembered by people. For example, the Great Qin, the Great Han, and the Great Tang. Future generations will always find in the history books that belong to a certain period of history Where the light shines, I look at the brilliance created by the ancestors in the dark and forge ahead. Since I am lucky to be born in this Tang Dynasty, the only dream in this life is to let This dynasty that is destined to be admired by the descendants will be stronger and longer, to eliminate internal friction as much as possible, and to gather all the power of the descendants of China to create a happier life."

Which descendants of Yan and Huang do not have a colorful and glorious Han and Tang Dynasties in their hearts?

Whenever Huaxia Shenzhou falls into decline, and Fanbang Hulu wantonly kills and bullies on this land, people will miss the era when they once conquered the world and galloped all over the world. , Supporting the descendants of Yan and Huang who are in danger will never give in and fight.

Every Chinese child has a Han and Tang in their hearts.

No matter how many times I dreamed back at midnight, Fang Jun would regret and feel distressed because the powerful Tang Dynasty fell into war and finally collapsed at the peak of its prosperity. Fall into the disaster of war later.

Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it was a dark age full of fishy smells and corrupt clothes. Fang Jun only wanted to extend the life of Tang Dynasty, so that the dark age would come later, or not come...

Li Chengqian tightened his cloak and understood what Fang Jun meant.

The "Xuanwu Gate Change" made His Majesty Li Er's "Tian Khan" a great cause and opened the magnificent era of "Zhen Guan Governing the World", but it made a bad start for the Tang Dynasty.There is such a successful case of "reverse usurpation". In the future, it will be difficult for generations of heirs of the Tang Dynasty to secure their positions. It was completely consumed in a single civil war.

It was fine in the prosperous age, but once the national power declines, such a civil strife caused by the imperial power is enough to push the empire into a bottomless abyss...

And what Fang Jun did was to make "Zong You Inheritance" become the inheritance Zhengshuo again.

Li Chengqian also understands that in Fang Jun's eyes, it doesn't matter whether the emperor is wise or not. Military affairs should always be in the hands of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. Emperor, it doesn't matter.

After all, as the emperor passed down from generation to generation, there will inevitably be a dull and violent generation. As long as such an incompetent king makes a stupid decision, he may ruin the national power accumulated by his ancestors for tens of hundreds of years.

This is something that people like Fang Jun cannot tolerate.

In their hearts, "the people are more important than the king", and they are all loyal ministers, but they are loyal to the country, not the king.

As long as the country is still there, they don't care who is the king...

Thinking about it this way, he suddenly feels a little sad and lonely. It seems that he is not that important as a king, but Li Chengqian can understand.

He has self-knowledge, he is not as good as Li Jing and Li Ji in terms of martial arts, and he is not as good as Liu Ji and Ma Zhou in terms of governance. Power, unwilling to let go, insisting on going his own way in matters of crisis, refusing to listen to advice, and even deliberately doing the opposite in order to show the majesty of the imperial power, then even if the Tang Dynasty will not perish in the hands, it is destined to be riddled with holes.

For a king with a middle-of-the-road appearance like him, "rule with the arch" is the best way.

As for whether the imperial power will fall in the future... If the descendants have the ability, they will naturally be able to snatch the power back from the ministers. If they don't have that ability, then honestly "govern by doing nothing" is the correct posture to save their lives...
