The host is red and black, and the system can only chirp

On the first night of the siege of Chang'an, the border town troops did not formally attack the city at all, but at midnight, the Taiji Palace was already filled with smoke and flames.

Li Shimin was stationed not far from Anyuan Gate, looking towards the direction of Taiji Palace with tears streaming down his face.

But he didn't move.

Li Shimin knew that if he attacked Chang'an at this moment and ended the chaos, everyone from the Li Tang royal family to the noble officials who supported Li Tang's uprising, including the aristocratic families who surrendered to Li Tang after the conquest of Luoyang... They would naturally be saved, and they would live well and would not become a token of surrender in the hands of others.

He knows it all.

Yeah, brother, uncles and brothers, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Li Shimin must live up to my master who passed the throne to me, live up to the Great Xia Dynasty, and live up to the people of the world... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.

The scene in front of him became increasingly blurry, and the fire in the distance seemed to be burning Li Shimin himself.

The rise of a new regime, as Master said, can end the war as quickly as possible by uniting all the forces that can be united. But Master also said in class that the more severe the losses of the old forces, the less resistance the dynasty will encounter.

.

On the eve of the Great Xia prince's expedition, the master and his disciple had the following conversation.

"Master, why are you... so kind to me?"

The struggle for imperial power caused suspicion between father and son.

"If you fail to be a good emperor in the future, you will know why Master is called the God of Killing by the world."

Xi Zongzhu: ...A woman ascending the throne and the new policies in the border town will inevitably encounter fierce resistance. These are not subject to human will, but are stubborn prejudices that naturally form under the influence of cultural accumulation and productivity factors.

She wanted to make some changes, even if it was just a little bit, even if it was just to plant a spark - but definitely not at a time when the people could not survive.

Besides, who is more suitable than her to plant flags, find mines and search for good seeds all over the world?

She has a system that can generate maps wherever she goes; she is also a grandmaster and will not die easily... For future generations, what does imperial power mean!

Her name was Ming and she came from later times. In her eyes, Sun Simiao was more respectable than anyone else in the world.

To put it another way, she really cannot be considered a mature politician.

If your territory is small, you can stabilize the situation temporarily by being open and frank; over time, once the external crisis disappears... internal conflicts of interest will inevitably arise.

This is human nature.

There are many things that you cannot accomplish just because you know or understand them.

To balance the border town and develop people's livelihood, Xi Mingming has used up all his strength and has no time to take care of talent training... Many times, the title of "politician" is not something you can achieve just by standing on the shoulders of giants.

You need to have the most detailed and keen perception of human nature, human hearts, and talents.

.

Li Shimin didn't care what his master said, he only cared about what his master did. The fact was that his master sincerely wanted to make him the Crown Prince of Daxia.

"Master, do you know what the assistants said?" Li Shimin smiled brightly, "They said that Master, more than all of them, more than myself... I have more confidence in my ability to be a good emperor."

Sect Leader Xi looked away. This... She asked, "Zhu Can, why did you think of holding a public trial in Han River?"

"Learn from the master." The people's will was in front of him. The master killed Zhang Jincheng. Even the nobles around him were all grumbling. Li Shimin was in the eyes of the people.

Li Shimin scratched his head and said, "I want to let the people of the world know that even if I, Li Shimin, didn't exist, he would still die, even at the hands of the people."

"The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least important." So you have realized this so early, Sect Master Xi murmured, "Yes, the people are like water, and the king is the boat. Water can carry the boat, but it can also overturn it."

Li Shimin's heart was like a tsunami.

Yes, that's right. He also read "Mencius: The Exertion of Mind" and "Xunzi: The Royal Regulations", but he never made a summary on the connection between a single thing and the knowledge.

He was just doing things according to his nature, and there was always a layer of fog in his mind.

Why did the Sui Dynasty fall in the second generation, and why was Zhu Can destroyed so quickly?

exactly.

Li Shimin was filled with sadness and excitement, and even a little bit of coquettishness and complaints that he himself was not aware of: "Master, why haven't you been Shimin's master since childhood?"

Sect Leader Xi: ...

[Dandan, he knows that I am actually more than a hundred years old, right? He must have felt it! ]

.

The frustrated Xi Sect Leader took the opportunity to remind Li Shimin.

The Li Tang Dynasty was filled with evil sects, but now their plots have failed... No matter whether it was towards him, Li Shimin, or towards Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, there was only malice left.

Li Shimin besieged Chang'an, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng were about to die in the war, and he personally sentenced and supervised the execution of his own brother... The historical pen is as sharp as a knife, and the text must have recorded that he killed his father, brother and brother.

Li Shimin knew very well that the purpose of his master's reminder was to let him protect the Li family in advance to avoid being eaten away by regret day and night for the rest of his life.

he knows.

Even though the world describes the Master as a killing god, whether it is Li Shimin or Li Jing, or people like Fang Xuanling who have only had short contact with him, they all know very well how merciful the Master is.

The master had been pushing herself, forcing herself to end the war as soon as possible...but after two battles in a row, the great master almost became possessed by mental obsession.

sorry.

Li Shimin was so heartbroken that he seemed to be suffocating, but he never ordered an attack on the city.

With tears in his eyes and a heart as hard as iron, he calmly watched the noise in Chang'an city getting closer and closer.

.

In the dim morning light, the city gates of Changle Gate in the east and Anyuan Gate in the north opened at the same time. A young general in armor ran out of Anyuan Gate, with smoke still rising from the tail of his horse.

The general rode his horse with one hand and held high a white flag with the other, and rushed straight towards Li Shimin. He knelt on the ground regardless of anything, looked up at Li Shimin and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

It was Luo Shixin.

As the sun rises in the east, white flags are erected on the city walls.

.

The border town army was defeated without losing a single soldier, and the Li Tang Dynasty was completely destroyed.

Li Jiancheng was killed in the chaos, and Li Yuan was seriously injured. He hid in Concubine Wan's palace and escaped death.

The reason why Concubine Wan was safe and sound was because her son Li Zhiyun, who was supposed to be abandoned in Hedong by Li Jiancheng and die in Chang'an, sent people to protect her.

Yes, Li Zhiyun in this world is not dead.

He was rescued by Wang Xinyi, who had been keeping an eye on Li Yuan and waiting for him to rebel, and became one of the Thirteen Guardians taught by the Xi Sect Leader himself, the young man named Li.

Li Zhiyun hid himself in the court of Daxia more thoroughly than Wang Xinyi. Li Shimin, who became the crown prince of Daxia, had no chance to meet Li Shaonian.

Li Zhiyun was very stubborn. He said to Sect Master Xi: "Master, I want to see with my own eyes how my second brother makes his choice before I decide whether to meet him or not."

He is a subordinate of Wang Xinyi.

This master who spent the most time with Wang Xinyi, the master completely replaced the father who was once like a god. No, the master was not like the father. The master was more capable, more kind, and more... fair.

Well, this young man was so deeply hurt by his father and mother's attitude of not caring about his life that he became the most determined anti-Tang faction.

Relatives are a confusing matter. Just because Li Shaonian is happy to see the Li Tang Dynasty destroyed doesn’t mean he is willing to watch his parents die.

So he did his best and left the rest to fate, and finally saved Li Yuan.

Li Zhiyun could not control Li Jiancheng, as the Crown Prince of Li Tang died.
