Chapter 60 Chapter 60 The Supreme Emperor's Lonely Elder Hongyi Palace Li Shimin Canonized as the Empress of the Eldest Grandson

Li Shimin ascended the throne and became the emperor, Li Yuan abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor. After Li Yuan abdicated, he moved to Hongyi Palace.Subsequently, Hongyi Palace was renamed Tai'an Palace.From September of the ninth year of Wude until his death ten years later, Li Yuan lived alone here. This kind of loneliness does not refer to being unaccompanied, but to a great sense of loss and desolation. The rift between father and son can never be repaired up.Li Shimin didn't dare to face his father, and Li Yuan didn't want to meet Li Shimin either.Just let it go, I understand.

Li Yuan who was usurped was very unfortunate, but also lucky. The early Tang Dynasty was an era when people dared to speak out. During the ruling process of the supreme ruler, there would always be a few fighter-like figures standing up to accuse them of their faults.In the sixth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin, who never wanted to talk about his father, received a sharp letter (skip it for those who don’t like ancient Chinese): The East Palace is in the palace city, while the Da'an Palace is in the west of the palace city. Compared with Yu Chenju, the system is still humble and small, and it is not enough for viewing and listening from all directions.It should be taller and taller, so as to be called the hope of China and foreign countries.The age of the Taishanghuang is already high, and His Majesty should watch the meal day and night.Today Jiucheng Palace is more than 300 miles away from the capital, the Supreme Emperor may miss His Majesty from time to time, why does Your Majesty go there?Driving this trip, I want to escape the summer heat; the Supreme Emperor is still staying in the summer heat, while your majesty lives alone in Beijing, and the ritual of warming the Qing Dynasty is not safe.The current plan has been completed and cannot be stopped. I would like to express the return date quickly to solve the confusion.Also, Wang Changtong and Bai Mingda are musicians, and Wei Panti and Husi Zhengzhi can tune horses. Even if their skills are outstanding, the gold and silk that can be sold can be surpassed by officials and titles, and they can stand shoulder to shoulder with scholars. Sitting and eating together?The minister is ashamed.

Signature: Supervisory Censor Ma Zhou. Ma Zhou's main meaning was to ask Li Shimin: Your father is old, why don't you eat with your father? After reading Shangshu, Li Shimin, who was in Jiucheng Palace, was filled with emotion.When summer comes, Shimin invites Li Yuan.The determination has been made and put into action, but Li Yuan rejected Li Shimin's invitation.Li Yuan's reason for rejecting Li Shimin's invitation was probably that he was too old, too far away, unable to move or something.Hearing what his father said, Li Shimin ordered to build a Daming Palace in Chang'an for his father's summer vacation.

In the spring of the eighth year of Zhenguan, on Li Yuan's birthday, the leaders of Western Turks and other vassal states were present at the same time.To this end, Tang Ting organized a special banquet. The person hosting the banquet was of course Li Yuan, and everyone was in high spirits.During the banquet, Li Yuan said to Changsun Wuji: "Now the barbarians are subdued, and the world comes to congratulate, which has never happened since ancient times!"Ten thousand years, although it is one level lower than ten thousand years, it is still the first time in feudal history.You know, even Li Shimin is only called Long Live.However, Li Yuan was called Wansui, which was more important than the title of "Long Live Lord".

The majestic China, congratulations from all over the world, how can people not feel excited! Li Yuan was overjoyed and gave Li Shimin wine. After Li Shimin finished drinking, he offered the cup of wine for Li Yuan's birthday.Li Shimin said with tears: "The people are safe, and the four barbarians are attached to each other. They all follow the imperial decree. What a minister!" It means that now the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the barbarians submit to you. Thanks!Li Shimin said this out of humility, because Li Yuan had never participated in politics since he lived in Tai'an Palace.Although it is said that the Tang Dynasty was founded by Li Yuan, the rule of Zhenguan must have been formed under the leadership of Li Shimin.Li Shimin gave all the credit to his father in order to make up for that lost relationship.

At the banquet, Li Shimin served Li Yuan together with Empress Changsun, just like ordinary people. When celebrating the victory in Weiyang Palace, Li Yuan presided over the victory meeting, and all officials above the third rank were present.During the banquet, Li Yuan ordered Comrade Jieli to dance for him (this, hahaha), and asked the chief of Nanyue to recite poems for him. He watched and listened, and he suddenly smiled, and said to the people around him: "Beihu and Nanyue can become A family really has never existed since ancient times!" When Li Yuan said this, he did not know how much emotion he had.However, I believe that he will feel that if he becomes the emperor, although he can achieve the effect of clear government, this effect will definitely not be achieved.

After hearing this, Li Shimin bowed again, offered cups for his birthday, and said: "My son obeyed my father's teachings and studied hard in the early years. I will follow you to raise the flag of rebellion and pacify the world. Defeat Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande. It was His Majesty's decision. For nine years, His Majesty, the world was unified, and the four directions were peaceful. Later, His Majesty loved and entrusted the important tasks to his sons and ministers, and the sons and ministers were flattered! Now God blesses the people, and the people are prosperous. Tang son and daughter. This is beyond the reach of my son's intelligence, and it is all due to His Majesty!"

After saying this, Li Shimin paid homage to Li Yuan again, and all the officials shouted "Long live", singing and dancing to their heart's content, and rested all night. That year, Li Yuan was seventy years old. On the sixth day of May in the ninth year of Zhenguan (635 AD), Li Yuan issued an edict: "After my funeral, the emperor's filial piety should be paid more attention to military and state affairs and should not be neglected. Dress ceremonies are all in accordance with the Han system (Li Yuan has Xianbei blood). The emperor does not have to observe filial piety for three years. One day counts as one month. Twenty-seven days are enough. (the day is the month). In addition, the garden system must be simple and not extravagant."

Li Yuan's last edict was still so benevolent and simple, which made people feel emotional.On the same day, Li Yuan died in the Gongqian Hall of Tai'an Palace, and the ministers gave him the posthumous title of Emperor Dawu, and the temple name of Gaozu. On October 27, Li Yuan was buried in Xianling. In the first year of Shangyuan, the posthumous title was changed to Emperor Shenyao. For eight years, Tianbao was posthumously named Emperor Shenyao Dasheng; for thirteen years, he was posthumously named Emperor Shenyao Dasheng Daguangxiao. Li Shimin built the Daming Palace for his father for a long time, and it was not finished until Li Yuan passed away.

This is a huge project, and Li Shimin has worked hard.Although the Daming Palace could not be enjoyed by Li Yuan, it was one of the main halls of the imperial palace alongside the Taiji Palace and other palaces.Li Yuan did not enjoy the shade of the Daming Palace. After his death, many people cried bitterly. Many ministers who had a good relationship with Li Yuan fell ill and even cried to death.Li Yuan was indeed a good person. From the day of his death, the history of the Tang Dynasty was destined to be changed by an irrelevant person.We shall save this story for a later time.But it is regrettable that Li Shimin, who has been afraid to face Li Yuan, seems to have forgotten his biological father.In other words, Li Shimin was just treating his father as if he was fulfilling an obligation, and after his father passed away, he never thought about him again.

One year after Li Yuan's death, Queen Changsun died. Li Shimin was so sad that he specially built a very high observation deck.Whenever Li Shimin missed Guanyin's maidservant, he would take his close ministers to look at Zhaoling and chat to express his missing.One day, Li Shimin, who was busy with government affairs, thought of his dead wife again. He was very sad, so he took Wei Zheng to look at it. Li Shimin said in the direction of Zhaoling: "Look, the servant girl is watching us there..." Such deep affection should really move us to a mess.But Wei Zheng squinted his eyes, looked at the forest in the distance for a while, and then slowly said: "The old minister is too dim to see." Li Shimin pointed to the mausoleum and said, "Oh, it's there, there!" Li Shimin Pointing to the vast emerald green, he said to Wei Zheng, who was not enlightened.Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng was offended by Li Shimin's behavior. He asked Li Shimin, "Is that Zhaoling?" Li Shimin said, "Yes!" Wei Zheng said, "Well, I thought Your Majesty was looking at Xianling, but it turned out to be Zhaoling. If you look at Zhaoling, of course I can I see." Good guy, dare to talk to the emperor like this, Wei Zheng (note the word) doesn't want to live anymore. What does Wei Zheng mean by this?It means, you have a deep affection, how come I never saw you miss your father, but stare blankly at the place where your wife is buried all day long!It's like someone asking you suddenly: "You fucking buy your girlfriend four hundred dollars a day as a gift, have you ever bought a sweater for your mother?" Li Shimin was taken aback by Wei Zheng's question. , Li Shimin also built a grandstand to see Zhaoling, what about Xianling?The Xianling Mausoleum is so simple that Li Shimin has almost never been there! Wei Zheng is aggressive, but he is fundamentally different from Dongfang Shuo, a comic adviser.If this method of tearing one's face and persuading was put on the emperor with the same temper as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he would have died more than 800 times.However, the one standing in front of Wei Zheng was not the faint tyrant, but Li Shimin. Li Shimin felt so ashamed that he cried.Later, Li Shimin ordered the observation deck to be dismantled, and he would never climb up to look at it again.Li Yuan's mausoleum was valued by Li Shimin, mostly because of the advice of some outspoken ministers such as Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou.However, Li Yuan left, just left, with his beard and the fragrance of tulips all over his body. In Li Yuan's era, too many people were wiped out. Every major battle would consume tens of millions of stones of grain and kill hundreds of thousands of people.Someone once said that the reason why Li Shimin was able to have the rule of Zhenguan was because Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty and Li Yuan had paved the way for him.In fact, this sentence is only half right. Money can be earned again, and culture is gone, but it is really gone.The rule of Zhenguan created by Li Shimin is a symbol of spirit. History books describe the political, economic and national living conditions during Li Shimin's rule of Zhenguan as follows: "Officials are mostly pure and conscientious. Controlling the families of princes and concubines, the powerful and cunning team are all afraid of prestige and traces, and no one dares to invade and bully the small people. There are no thieves and thieves in the wild. The outside house is not closed. It is also frequent to get Fengren, three or four coins for a rice bucket. Traveling from the capital to Lingbiao, from Shandong to the sea, there is no food, and it is given on the road. When entering a village in Shandong, travelers passing by will be generously paid For offering, there may be a bequest at the time of distribution. This is unprecedented in ancient times.” When modern historians commented on the rule of Zhenguan, they said: This is the only dynasty without corruption. Why? Li Shimin knew that morality and etiquette must not be used to restrain officials, but a perfect system is needed. No advocacy, no slogans, behavior in the world, and fear of the people can maintain political clarity.As a result, the enthusiasm of the people to participate in political affairs is unprecedentedly high. Now, Li Shimin replaced Li Yuan and stepped onto the stage.He usurped power and killed many innocent people.Soda powder can almost be peaceful and excessive until now, the public is basically unaware, and the emotions of all officials are stable.Some people said, but I still expressed strong indignation towards Li Shimin, how could he be so vicious!I despise him!The more this person talked, the more excited he became, and the more ferocious he became, he almost dropped his phone and smashed his computer. But Comrade Li Yuan woke up from the tomb, smiled slightly, patted the man's shoulder, and said to him calmly: "Hurry up and go home, wash up and sleep, it's getting late..." Although there are only thirteen characters in this remark, it deeply expresses the deep feelings of Comrade Li Yuan.Coupled with the ending with an ellipsis, the wonderful pen is full of flowers, the artistic conception is profound, and it is endlessly memorable!Yes, wash up and sleep. After ascending the throne, Li Shimin's wife Guanyin's maidservant naturally became a queen, and this is the empress of the eldest grandson who is famous in later generations. Li Shimin had a problem. He felt that his daughter-in-law read a lot and knew a lot, so he asked Empress Changsun how to deal with the rewards and punishments of an official.Empress Changsun heard this, and said, "Everyone says that the rooster is the only one who leads the morning. The concubine is a daughter's family, so how can she participate in the government?" ask.Empress Changsun was helpless, she sat there with her mouth sullen, looked at him with watery eyes, smiled and said nothing. Li Shimin was speechless, and repeatedly pressed questions, but still could not get an answer from Empress Changsun.If he didn't answer, he had to figure out a countermeasure by himself. Fortunately, Li Shimin's advisers were very powerful, and the matter was finally resolved.Li Shimin didn't know that Empress Changsun really had a long-term plan in doing so, not too much.Many years later, his descendants will eat such bitter fruit.What Li Shimin did has a lot to do with Empress Changsun. As soon as Li Shimin came to the throne, he canonized the eldest grandson queen.It was also just as soon as he came to the throne that he attracted a group of wolves from the north.People say that newcomers are easy to bully, and Li Shimin's new ascension to the throne makes Jieli feel that it is time to launch a general attack. On August 28th, the ninth year of Wude, Turkic Jieli and Tuli poured out their soldiers all over the country. The army went straight to Chang'an and gathered outside the Weishui Bridge. Jieli, who gained wealth by robbing, recuperated, and honed his troops, finally launched a general attack on the Tang Dynasty.They were mighty and mighty, all the way from the grasslands to the Central Plains.Along the way, the army unexpectedly successfully entered the Central Plains and directly killed outside the west gate of Chang'an. "Sanfujuelu" said: The west gate of Chang'an City is called Bianmen, and the north of the bridge is opposite to the gate, so it is called Bianqiao. The shouts of the Turkic army were like thunder, and the sound shook Chang'an. All the officials and people in the city were terrified.At this time, the news that made people unable to calm down spread.According to reliable sources, the Turks took all the power of the whole country to seize Chang'an. The number of people is: one million.
