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

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin proclaimed himself emperor and insisted on not changing the reign title for the time being.

Xi Mingming set sail, and the officials of Daxia did not obey the order of the emperor this time. The emperor led the ministers to see His Majesty off at the port of Mingzhou.

Li Shimin's eyes were filled with tears, and he did not look like an emperor at all.

Xi Mingming gazed at the vast mountains and rivers from afar, and then looked at the civil officials and generals whose eyes were filled with sadness, and his heart was also filled with feelings of reluctance to part.

Once I leave, I don’t know when I will return.

.

Xi Mingming patted Li Shimin's hands that were holding her sleeves, "You know the way of the emperor better than I do, so I won't say any more."

After thinking for a while, Xi Mingming earnestly comforted the emotional young emperor: "If Shimin wants to build a palace, wait for the master to come back. The master will allocate a special fund for you. Don't build it by yourself, it will be easy to be besieged by ministers."

Li Shimin always liked luxurious things, but because Xi Mingming was simple, he was scolded by Wei Zheng and had to admit his mistake even when he was hiding in the bedroom to admire a treasure.

History records that whenever he wanted to build a palace, he was always advised against it.

Now that there is a very simple emperor as a comparison, the ministers' demands on Li Shimin will probably be even more stringent.

God knows that Xi Mingming's simple background was caused by his two lives, and he felt a little uneasy about it affecting his disciples.

The emperor is also a human being.

.

Li Shimin cried even more miserably.

Duke Tang was bedridden again this year. In the past two years, Li Yuan was unwilling to pay any attention to Li Shimin. Whenever he opened his mouth, he would ask him to change Daxia to Li Tang in the future.

Li Shimin would not destroy his own empire, so he flatly refused.

The situation between the two sides became increasingly tense.

Compared to his biological father who didn’t consider him at all, the master was really... Fortunately, he had a master, otherwise his life would be so miserable.

Xi Mingming: …The tears never stop, right? She cried out all her sadness.

"Don't cry. If you like fine horses, go find Zhang Wansui quietly. Kankan Ba ​​Fenghan and the others have been looking for stallions for him. When the Shandan Military Horse Farm expands further, remember to raise his rank by one level."

Because Xi Mingming led the Demon Sect to venture out, Zhao Deyan was probably anxious to start a career to prove the correctness of his choice. He began to move more frequently in the Turkic region.

Historically, Li Jing conquered the Eastern Turks in 630 AD, which is still eight years away from now. But Zhao Deyan worked too hard, and Xi Mingming felt that it was almost time.

Therefore, Shandan Military Horse Farm is particularly important.

Li Shimin wiped away his tears and nodded vigorously: "Remember it."

Zhang Wansui is a talented person.

Looking at the second son Gao who was reluctant to come forward, Xi Mingming told the emperor: "Hongde, don't ask him about military affairs. If a policy is decided, he must be the best executor in the world. Shimin, I leave Hongde to you."

Gao Hongde was the son of a top noble family when he was young, but his youth was crushed into dust. His too many ups and downs in life made his personality twisted.

"Teacher Gao is very good."

He is really good, especially suitable to lead the Shangshu Province. As for personality, who can be as annoying as Wei Zheng?

"Xiong Bing, Brother Xiong."

It is good not to be an emperor, you can order people around as you please, and Wei Zheng’s advice is useless.

Xiong Bing squeezed forward from the back and said, "Hey, I'm here, Sect Master."

Xi Mingming said: "Brother Xiong, please pay attention to the fertilizer. Fertilizer can increase the yield more than improving seeds. Please pay attention to safety. Don't be fooled by the alchemists of the Eastern Han Dynasty who used green vitriol and gallstones to obtain sulfuric acid by dry distillation. This stuff is extremely corrosive."

Xi Mingming was talking about the nitrogen fertilizer that Xiong Bing had been trying this year - ammonium sulfate.

Hao Yun's Ordnance Supervision's traditional coking method can produce a large amount of ammonia, which is a pity to waste. The most common ammonia absorption medium is sulfuric acid, which can be in contact with dilute sulfuric acid to produce ammonium sulfate.

This is the agricultural magic weapon nitrogen fertilizer.

Xiong Bing nodded repeatedly, tears welling up in his eyes, "I know, I know. I will never let your majesty down."

When it comes to military equipment, Hao Yun always keeps a low profile.

Xi Mingming waved to the queen, and when she approached, he took her hand and told her: "Take good care of Hao Yun. You must be careful about his food, clothing, housing and transportation. He doesn't know how to communicate with people, so you have to take care of him."

"I will, Master."

Xi Mingming pressed her shoulder and said to Li Shimin, "Husband and wife are one, live well together."

These words were so simple that Guanyin's maid burst into tears all of a sudden.

This is the best that biological parents can be. Your Majesty is truly sincere to my husband.

She put her hand into Li Shimin's palm and said, "We will, Master. We will be fine. You should be fine too. Come back soon."

"Pharmacist."

Li Jing stood upright, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty."

What's wrong with you? Why are you still being so upset? You're in your early fifties. You said you'd abdicate eight hundred years ago, but why don't you accept reality at the last minute?

Xi Mingming leaned forward, grabbed the awkward Duke Weiguo, and then overlapped the hands of Li Jing and Li Shimin and placed them together.

"Shimin, ask the pharmacist about war"

Xi Mingming couldn't help but complain about Li Shimin when he thought about it, "You always fight with those few axes, but you still rely on force and rush to the front without fear of death. In terms of military strategy, you are not as good as the pharmacist. In the future, when there is a big war, ask the Duke of Wei more, understand?"

Others dare not say this. She is the emperor emeritus. What does she have to worry about?

Li Shimin jumped up and down, secretly saying, "Master!"

Doesn't he have any face?

Xi Mingming was very calm: "Since ancient times, there have been distinctions between strange and regular tactics in warfare. Wei Qing won by regular tactics, and Huo Qubing won by strange tactics. When Yao Shi used troops, there was no such thing as regular or strange tactics, so no one in the world dared to match him."

Xi Mingming was amazed. It seemed that through continuous learning, she began to truly understand wars in the era of cold weapons.

She could even recite the battles that Li Shimin had fought with an axe.

It's not that a few axe skills are not powerful. How can it not be powerful to use the tactics you are good at to the extreme? Even if future teachers come to comment, Li Shimin is still the most capable emperor in history.

But if compared with Li Jing, he is indeed slightly inferior.

Li Shimin: ...Don’t cry anymore. Master is biased.

The emperor bowed his head and said, "I understand. Ask the Duke of Wei about military affairs."

"Those who are good at fighting may not have great military achievements. As an emperor, you must cherish such generals."

"cherish."

Humph, isn't it just because he is worried that he will treat Duke Weiguo badly? If the master never comes back, then he will...so what? It seems that no matter what, he should not treat Duke Weiguo badly, who has conquered most of the country.

.

Hong Funu clearly felt the veins bulging on her husband's arms; he was excited.

Your Majesty, you truly understand me.

No wonder the ancients often said that a gentleman would die for his confidant.

Seeing that Li Shimin's whole appearance had become less bright, Xi Mingming halfheartedly praised him, "Shimin, you are only slightly inferior to the pharmacist in military tactics, but you are better than the pharmacist in other aspects. The pharmacist only has the opportunity to become successful after he is over 40. How young are you? You are already the emperor, and you are more promising than the pharmacist."

Li Shimin's face turned really dark, "Master!"

Xi Mingming took back his joke and said seriously, "In this life, not everyone is like you, Shimin, who is excellent in both civil and military strategies. Pharmacist is quiet and spends his mind on military strategies. It is inevitable that he lacks sophistication. You should give him more advice. You see, he has been acting without thinking recently."

From the perspective of smart people, a truly thoughtful person would not be obsessed with protecting the emperor after Xi Mingming decided to abdicate.

But what about practicality?

Li Jing simply put her, his lord, above his own protection.

She must protect people to the end.

Li Shimin burst into tears and said, "I know, Master. The Duke of Wei treated you so well today. As long as I am a wise ruler and love the people, the Duke of Wei will treat me like this."

Xi Mingming patted their hands.

Turning to Fang, Du, Xue and Wei, he said, "You are all the backbone of Shimin. Shimin lacks a little kinship. You have followed him since he was a child. You should continue to do so in the future. You will be the ruler and his subjects for the rest of your lives."

The minister nodded frequently.

Li Shimin was unwilling to give up: "Master, do we have to go out to sea?"

I leave, you can show your talents. The people in this world have suffered too much, the two heads above, the ministers spend their minds thinking about us, how to do things?

"Given Jingde's character, you need to remind him from time to time and don't let him make mistakes."

Yuchi Jingde had already returned to the border town and was unable to see him off.

Xi Mingming was not too worried about Yuchi Jingde. He and Kou Zhong had risked their lives to save Li Shimin. Given Li Shimin's grateful character, there would be no problem.
