People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 693 Li Xian, you idiot!
Under the long wall of the Daming Palace, guards lined up on both sides, with someone clearing the way in front and guarding behind. Only Li Xuan and Li Xian walked in the center.

Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the West Inner Garden, passing through the Xing'an Gate, and setting foot on the boundary of the East Palace.

Li Xuan was half a step behind, seeing Li Xian's appearance, Li Xuan frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Is there another dispute between Your Highness and the Empress recently?"

Li Xian paused, and everyone stopped at the same time.

Li Xian waved his hands to the surroundings with a cold face, and the guards around immediately retreated tens of meters.

Then Li Xian sighed softly and said: "To be honest, Uncle Wang, most of what Xian has played recently is different from that of his mother, and even directly contradicts it. But sometimes, we have to fight to make the current picture appearance."

Li Xuan nodded slightly, he knew what was going on with Li Xian, he was nothing more than imitating the filial emperor Li Hong, but Li Xian was too straightforward and not mellow enough, so he always opposed Empress Wu.

There is no way to do it, Li Xian is too young, inexperienced, and it is difficult to soften his methods.

Of course, it is inevitable that there are reasons for the tinkering of the courtiers in the Eastern Palace.

Li Xian's body is much stronger than Li Hong's, so many people subconsciously want to help Li Xian control more power.

Many courtiers who were dissatisfied with Empress Wu were not close to Li Hong when he was the crown prince because they knew his true physical condition, but now that Li Xian is the crown prince, all these people rushed over at once.

They have been targeting Empress Wu all the time, but they don't know that what they are targeting is always the emperor.

Li Xuan thought for a while, then cupped her hands and said, "Your Highness, I don't know if Your Highness still remembers Zhang Yi."

"Qin Prime Minister Zhang Yi, a master of vertical and horizontal, can break through all powers in a row." Li Xian said about Zhang Yi in an instant.

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "I thought His Highness would say that Prime Minister Qin has a long-distance attack strategy?"

Li Xian glanced at Li Xuan in surprise, and said: "Uncle Wang was joking, far-distance and close-attack is Fan Ju's strategy. At that time, Qin was already strong, so it is natural to use long-distance and close-attack strategy."

Li Xuan nodded, cupped her hands, and continued to ask: "Then, may I ask your Highness, what kind of strategy did the Qin State adopt when Zhang Yi was in power?"

"Qin Jian's attack is complemented by Zhang Yi's sharp tongue." Li Xian frowned slightly, and couldn't help saying: "Is Uncle Wang talking about Tubo?"

"It seems that His Majesty has really made progress. He actually saw that the gap between us and Tubo is not as big as others said. Yes, if His Majesty knows this, he will be very pleased." Li Xuan smiled lightly. Nodded, but then said: "No, this is not what I said."

"Please teach me, Uncle Wang." Li Xian immediately became serious.

Li Xian has always respected Li Xuan.

Because Li Xuan always puts forward some opinions that are different from those of the masters in the Eastern Palace, and in the end, Li Xuan can always use his own method to get a chance of winning.

Li Xian has read history books thoroughly, so of course he knows that there must be allusions about my teacher when the three of us walk together.

Choose what is good and follow it, and change what is bad.

This, Li Xian asked himself, could still be done.

"At that time, Zhang Yi, the chancellor of the Qin Dynasty, first served in the state of Qin, and once proposed a policy to King Qin Huiwen. When the world is diplomatic, advance five inches and retreat two inches, and you will have three inches of land, which can be held in your hand; fighting with Tubo is also It's the same, attack five inches, retreat two inches, and defend three inches, so you have three inches of land, hold it tightly in your palm, this is a strategy for cannibalism." After Li Xuan finished speaking, Li Xian seemed to understand something, and nodded subconsciously.

"His Royal Highness and Queen of Heaven, after all, mother and child. How can there be a son who is always fighting with his mother, so if he advances five inches, retreats two inches, and guards three inches, he will have three inches of space, hold it in his hand, and there will be no future troubles. Your Highness's way of doing things. Your Highness, please remember not to act too hastily." Li Xuan once again bowed deeply to Li Xian.

Li Xian stretched out his hand to support Li Xuan, then nodded and said: "I understand that Uncle Wang has good intentions, and he will be cautious in the future. He will act in a proper manner, and will not irritate the queen mother any more."

"Your Highness knows well." Li Xuan made a slight suggestion, then turned her head and asked, "I heard that His Highness is annotating and translating "Hou Hanshu"?"

Li Xian's expression suddenly became serious, and then he bowed and asked, "I don't know what advice Uncle Wang has?"

"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, compiled by Fan Ye of Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, mainly records the historical events of 195 years from Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the last years of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty."

Li Xuan looked up at Li Xian, sighed and said: "Your Highness has a good point of entry. But in my view, it seems to be biased.

If His Highness really wants to annotate the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", you need to have a broader vision. Why not compile the "Book of the Former Han Dynasty" together...

You can’t just focus on the housework of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the early years of the founding of the Han Dynasty, Han Gaozu, Han Wendi, Han Jingdi, and even Han Wudi’s history books were annotated one by one, especially the empress dowagers. Please face it directly. "

After listening to Li Xuan's words, Li Xian's expression could not help but change slightly.

The difference between the former Han Dynasty and the later Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty is too great.

Although the empress dowagers of the later Han Dynasty made many appearances, and the deposed emperor was also in the palm of his hand, the power in his hands was still extremely weak in terms of truth.

Especially in the late Han Dynasty, even for a character like the Empress Dowager He, just seeing her brother He Jin being teased and applauded by the aristocratic family, one can know how pitiful she is.

Throughout the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, except for Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty who ascended the throne in their prime of life and died in their twilight years, the other twelve emperors all ascended the throne when they were minors, and there were even four who ascended the throne when they were young; only seven of them lived to adulthood. One, and four more, didn't even live to be ten years old.

The remaining one was Han Shaodi Liu Bian, who came to the throne and was forced to kill after only five months in office.

Kindergarten in the Eastern Han Dynasty, how tragic.

Books of the Later Han Dynasty are too sensitive.

……

"In the early days of the Han Dynasty, in addition to Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, there were Empress Lu, Empress Dowager Dou, and Empress Wei, all of which had to be dealt with head-on. Give up dealing with government affairs and concentrate on studying, so that you can achieve something."

Seeing Li Xian's dignified face, but listening carefully, Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then continued: "Empress Wei will not mention it for the time being, but Empress Dowager Dou, although she is fighting for power with the emperor, it doesn't matter whether it is Emperor Jing or Emperor Wu. , After all, no disaster was caused, everything is under the control of the emperor, even Empress Lu, Your Highness, remember;
Even Empress Lu, when she was in power, once stabilized the government, planned for the heirs, and planned for the great man. As for the subsequent disasters, Empress Lu was not willing to see it in person.

If your Highness wants to be clear, you will know how the situation is by watching how Emperor Wen of Han treated the heroes of the world.

What His Highness needs to be vigilant about is who and what means to use. The former Han is what His Highness should really learn from.

Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing, and Emperor Wu are the ones Your Majesty should emulate. "

Li Xuan was really heartbroken, he, the inspector prince, praised the doctor right, and he did so, it can be said that he is completely worthy of the emperor's trust.

Li Xian is talented and intelligent, and he has read history books thoroughly, but the most important thing is how much he believes and how much he knows.

The sincerity and attitude of Li Xuan's words are obvious, but there are differences in what the officials in his mansion said.

Li Xian bowed deeply to Li Xuan and said, "Thank you Uncle Wang for your teaching."

Li Xuan hurriedly helped Li Xian up, and said in a low voice: "Today's words come out of the mouth of the minister and into the ears of His Royal Highness. Don't let others know, otherwise, both His Royal Highness and the minister will be in trouble... If If someone inquires, Your Highness may wish to tell the outside world, I suggest that Your Highness revise Sui Zhi."

"Sui Zhi?" Li Xuan stood up, a little stunned, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Wang, didn't Minister Wei edit the Sui Zhi back then?"

Li Xuan shook her head slightly, and said softly: "At that time, the first emperor ordered to compile the history of Liang, Qi, Chen, Zhou, and Sui Dynasties, and Wei Xiang compiled the history of Sui Dynasty, and then supervised the histories with Fang Xiang. The history of Liang, Chen, and Qi were each summarized. Compiled by Sui Shi Zong, the ten annals such as rites, music, calendar, food and land are almost exhausted, but today is not the same as before, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, the times are different, and the views on characters, astronomy and geography are quite different. The most important thing is that this matter does not require a lot of trouble, and it is easy to form a rule."

"Determination?" Li Xian seemed to have caught something keenly, but he didn't figure it out.

"Xiandi!" Li Xuan's extremely low words seemed to have a special magic power and kept echoing in Li Xian's ears.

"The first emperor, set the rules." Li Xian kept thinking about these two words, and his expression became more and more serious.

Suddenly, Li Xian's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he immediately figured out what was going on, and looked at Li Xuan in horror.

Li Xuan waved his hand and said: "The late emperor once said that with copper as a mirror, one can straighten one's clothes; with history as a mirror, one can know the ups and downs; with people as a mirror, one can understand gains and losses. Always keep the three mirrors to guard against one's own mistakes. Your Highness If we revise Sui Zhi again, we can get another realm."

Li Xian still nodded in shock.

Li Xuan continued: "There is also geography, East and West Turks, Goguryeo, Tuyuhun, Tubo, the Western Regions, and even the Western Regions to the west, Baiyi Dashi, Persia, Bukhara, Samarkand and Khwarazm, Byzantium , Rome, Visigoth, Frank, and the seven kingdoms further west can all be added to it.”

What Li Xuan said earlier is well known to the people of the Tang Dynasty, but the latter are all businessmen in white clothes and big food. Baiyi Dashi has no contact with it, so he doesn't pay much attention to it.

"Your Highness, you can try to record it. It may not be beneficial to today's people, but it may not be useless to future generations." Li Xuan looked indifferent.

"Uncle Wang's heart is really secret, it's hard for ordinary people to see a thing or two!" Li Xian smiled wryly.

Li Xuan sighed inwardly, shook his head at last, and said: "This is just a rhetoric. Although the Sui history is not much in content, it will take a lot of time to prepare for it. Your Highness can delay it slowly, but it doesn't matter. .”

Hearing what Li Xuan said, Li Xian suddenly relaxed, and then stretched out his hand to signal Li Xuan to move on.

While walking, Li Xian said in a low voice: "When the Sui Zhi was compiled, many things were experienced by people at that time, such as great-grandfather, grandfather, and many ministers. Wei Xiang was upright and upright, with sharp writing style and less musical style. For example, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty said that he was "mean" and arbitrary, "displeased with poems and books", "darker than the avenue", Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty pretended to be hypocritical, "slaughtering the flesh and blood, slaughtering Zhongliang", etc., it is written according to the facts. Taboo."

Li Xuan glanced at Li Xian, "Pursue flesh and blood, slaughter Zhongliang", you are still indifferent, it seems that you really don't know anything about your old lady's ambition.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Your Highness is intelligent and tolerant, Ying Wang Yingzhi is eager to learn, although Xiang Wang is young, he respects his brothers and loves his sisters, the imperial family is harmonious, and there is no trouble from the previous Sui Dynasty."

Li Xian's footsteps paused, as if he was vaguely trying to understand something, then he glanced at Li Xuan, and said softly: "Uncle Wang has a good intention."

"Using history as a mirror, being able to figure out anything is the talent of His Highness." Li Xuan cupped her hands slightly.

Sighing in my heart, why did you think of Li Dan? What I want you to think of is Dugu Jialuo, the literary queen of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.

She is a virtuous queen who participates in the government and has outstanding abilities.

As the latter, the next step is Empress Wu, and one step back is Dugu Jialuo.

Li Xian, you idiot!
