What Li Changhui said was not a secret. It was just that there were too many princes in the previous generation, and they fought for the throne. In the end, both sides suffered losses. After the death of the previous emperor, there was only one adult prince.

This is the current emperor who is ready to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy.

The emperor was not a popular candidate for succession at the beginning, so he had little contact with the court. When he first came to the throne, if his uncle at the time, who was the commander of the imperial army, had not helped suppress the ministers, he would have become a puppet. The emperor.

After the emperor came to power, the uncle no longer wanted to be the commander of the imperial army and wanted to go to the border. Then foreign enemies invaded and started fighting, etc., until he became a general protecting the country.

Lin He was shocked after listening to Li Changhui's explanation in a few words.

"This is too hard."

As he spoke, Lin He started counting on his fingers.

"First he was forced to ascend the throne and worked hard to gain real power."

"Then there was an invasion from outside the customs, and the country was at war for ten years."

"Then the eldest son rebelled and the general who protected the country became a rebel."

“In the end, everything was in ruins, waiting for things to be revitalized, and finally we have peace and prosperity for the country and the people.”

I didn't think so before, but now I feel full of admiration: "This emperor deserves it, and all he left behind is a good reputation. Not to mention that there will be no successors after him, and there are probably not many ancient people before him."

Lin He clapped one of his fingers, and Li Changhui was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until Lin He finished speaking that Li Changhui came back to his senses, looked at Lin He's hand, and nodded.

"Indeed."

I didn't realize it before, but now I discovered that his father never seemed to have a good rest during his reign and had been working hard for the Da'an Dynasty.

Then he softened the expression on his face and said with a smile: "It's actually a good thing to be able to retire now. I have been in the palace since I was young. Not long after I got married and left the palace, I returned to the palace and have been handling government affairs for decades."

"While there is still time now, go and see what the Da'an Dynasty was like during his busy life, so that you can have no regrets in this life."

The past few decades seem to have been filled with various things. In the previous dynasty, there were royal chariots traveling, but his father had no chance to enjoy them in the past few decades due to various external reasons.

"Right." Lin He's eyebrows were dancing: "I think so too. It's great to be an emperor, but it's so uncomfortable to be in that one place for the rest of your life."

The two of them talked for a long time, until someone came to change the tea, and then they stopped without saying anything.

But after they left, Lin He became curious about another thing.

"Brother Hui, actually I have always wanted to ask, where is your uncle now?"

I remember Li Changhui mentioned before that he left the capital and replaced others to save his life.

What's more, Li Changhui's uncle was also the General Protecting the Country. Although he did do something wrong, it had not been long since the General Protecting the Country returned to Beijing, and there was a high probability that he would not be executed directly.

But it should be that death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped.

She has been busy with things in the field this month, and the corn has been harvested recently. She waits every day for the field to be clear, and then she can plant other crops.

So except for the two days when she first came to the capital, she had never been to the city again. She didn't even have time to see what the streets of the capital were like.

As for the rest, there is no chance to inquire.Speaking of his uncle, Li Changhui hesitated for a moment before sighing.

"My uncle is not in the capital. He was demoted along with the entire family. Now he is guarding Baima Pass."

Lin He's eyes widened again: "What did you say? Are you still guarding the border? Aren't you afraid that he will rebel again?"

This is at the border. If the thieves are allowed to enter directly, it will not be a trivial matter.

Lin He was very shocked. She thought about various possibilities, but the best one was to disarm and return to the fields. But not only did she not disarm, she still held military power and guarded one side. Is this emperor too bold?

However, Li Changhui shook his head.

"Baima Pass is not an important military place. It has less than [-] soldiers and horses. It is also a place of suffering. It can only be said to be better than exile. People are also free. And my father promised that as long as he no longer thinks about it, his descendants can still take part in the scientific examination. , or serve as a general in the army."

Lin He recalled the TV shows he had watched before, and in the end he could only sigh in admiration.

"You...no, the current Holy Emperor is really kind-hearted."

The one who can do this, to put it more unpleasantly, is the Heart of the Holy Mother. Even the rebels can be let go so easily.

But after thinking about it again, I thought it was quite reasonable. After all, the enemy had just been repelled at that time and the ten-year war was finally quelled. The great general who protected the country played a huge role.

If this general is executed soon after, the enemy country may invade again. Without a general, and the troops are not sufficient in a long-term war, it is really hard to say whether they can withstand the enemy's vigorous attack. must.

The emperor, seeing that the merits and demerits were equal, let his uncle's family go, which made him declare his righteousness even more clearly and that he was a truly wise king.

The most important thing is that as long as the uncle dies, the Da'an Dynasty will always have a great general who protects the country with outstanding achievements.

Wanting to understand this, Lin He directly raised his thumb: "It's really amazing, or else he can be an emperor. This mind and courage are really unique!"

Li Changhui had no choice but to reach out and hold Lin He's thumb. His wife would do this occasionally, and he knew it was a compliment.

"That's not all. I heard that the current Holy Emperor has sent many young generals to Baima Pass in the past few years."

"No, aren't you worried that those generals will be taught bad things and rebel?"

Li Changhui shook his head: "No, he knows that I am still alive and not in the capital."

Lin He was already so shocked that he was almost numb. When he heard Li Changhui say this, he thought that it was indeed the case.

Then I heard Li Changhui continue: "My uncle and my mother are twins, and we have a very good relationship. After my mother passed away, I was almost taken care of by my uncle, and later we went to the border together."

"My uncle has never married and had children in his life. He treats me like his own son. The rebellion failed and my father was able to spare my life and set me free. It was a consolation to my uncle. Before I left Beijing, I visited my uncle. He ,very good."

Back then, when the generals rebelled, it was mostly because someone instigated people's hearts. After they calmed down, many people found out about it, so only those who stirred up people's hearts were executed. The others were not punished too much. At most, they were reduced in official positions. The property was confiscated, but life was not affected.

Therefore, in comparison, the generals who calmed down naturally accepted such punishment happily, and then went back to their respective homes.

After hearing this, Lin He suddenly became curious: "Brother Hui, have you ever thought about what would happen to you if you really succeeded in these years?" (End of Chapter)
