Chapter 722: Li Chengqian's Decision
Li Chengqian asked: "Queen Mother, if your father ordered you to go out to recuperate, would you listen to his doubts?" ”
Empress Eldest Sun did not say anything.
Li Chengqian asked again: "According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, do you say that the emperor is great, or the empress?" ”
Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Chengqian with a little surprise, not understanding what he was going to say.
Li Chengqian asked again: "During the period when the emperor is not in Chang'an, the prison is the emperor in the sense of the law. Now, in my capacity as the emperor, I ask the queen mother to leave the harem immediately and go to recuperate.
This is an oracle, and it is not to be disobeyed. ”
Empress Eldest Sun stared at Li Chengqian tightly, her eyes wide open.
Li Chengqian was afraid of Empress Changsun for a lifetime, and his heart was furious when he saw her like this. But his current credo is that as long as it is something that he thinks is right, he must grit his teeth and stick to it. So he was bold, stared into the eyes of the eldest grandson queen, and refused to flinch.
Empress Eldest Sun suddenly smiled, she found that the son she had always felt cowardly had really grown up. Isn't the way he is now exactly what he has been hoping for for a long time?
Empress Changsun nodded slightly and said, "Cheng Qian, you're right. The prison is bigger than the queen, and the queen mother obeys the holy decree.
You are in charge of arranging the recuperation trips. “”
Li Chengqian was overjoyed, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.
On the one hand, it is because Master Zhang is finally willing to put aside the cumbersome things in front of him to recuperate. On the one hand, he really felt his dignity as the crown prince and the prison state.
At this moment, Li Chengqian took another big step forward on the way to growing into a qualified emperor.
He said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you to the queen mother, thank you for the encouragement of the queen mother, and thank the queen mother for being able to fulfill the filial piety of the son." ”
Empress Changsun closed her eyes and said, "Qian'er, go down first, I'm tired and I'm going to sleep." Li Chengqian said: "Erchen, this will arrange for you to go out to recuperate, and when you are rested and your spirit is recovered, we will set off immediately." The retainers retired. ”
Out of the eldest grandson's dormitory, Li Chengqian arranged for the eldest grandson to go to Furong Garden to recuperate.
Li Chengqian left the Lizheng Palace.
At this moment, the sky outside was still gloomy, but Li Chengqian felt that it was a sunny patch. Today is a milestone day for him, he deeply feels his dignity and his heart is full of confidence.
This incident was a great surprise for Li Chengqian, and he hoped that someone would share his joy. The first person he thought of was Li You, who was far away on the east bank of the Yalu River.
He wrote a telegram informing Li You of what was happening in the palace. The telegram is very long, and the conversation between him and Empress Changsun in the middle is told in its original form. At the same time, he told Li You that Li Tai was about to go to Chang'an.
Hearing the news, Li You was surprised and delighted.
Happily, Li Chengqian has finally grown up and matured further.
The worry is that Li Tai may use this matter to make a fuss again. Even if the messenger sent by Li Chengqian asked Li Tai to make a promise that he would leave Chang'an, with Li Shimin's favor for Li Tai, this matter may be difficult to achieve.
Especially in case Empress Changsun really leaves, how can Li Shimin, who has just suffered the pain of losing his wife, bear to let Li Tai leave Chang'an again?
Li You called Li Chengqian back and said that when he sent a messenger to meet Li Tai, he promised not to report the matter to Li Shimin, otherwise he would be punished for protesting.
Even so, Li You was still very worried that Li Tai might send someone to report to Li Shimin about his trip to Chang'an. In this way, Li Tai re-entered Li Shimin's sight, which will cause great trouble in the future.
Although he asked Li Chengqian to let Li Tai make a guarantee, he thought it was useless at all. Li Tai will definitely send someone to report to Li Shimin, and will ask Li Shimin to keep it secret for him, making it look like he has been bullied.
In this case, Li Shimin will not punish Li Tai for breaking the promise he made. Whatever happened to Li Tai, Li Shimin would suspect that Li Chengqian, Li You and others wanted to retaliate against Li Tai.
Li Youqing and Li Chengqian went to Empress Changsun to explain the stakes in the middle, and asked her not to let Li Tai return to Chang'an for the time being.
When Li Chengqian received the telegram, he did not hesitate and called Li You back, saying that as a child, he could not not satisfy the wishes of the eldest grandson and empress because he was afraid of trouble. In case the eldest grandson queen really encounters an accident, she can't let her die with regrets.
Li You felt that what Li Chengqian said was right, and immediately called him back to agree with his opinion.
On the third day, Empress Changsun's spirit recovered a little better, she called two imperial concubines and four concubines, and took out the implementation rules written by Li You on the rotation of the palace in charge, let them learn and master, and decided to start with Concubine Yang Niangniang to implement the first rotation.
On the fourth day, Empress Changsun then went to the Furong Garden to recuperate.
The Marshal's Mansion of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.
The Eastern Crusade was progressing smoothly, and the Goguryeo people were becoming more and more difficult, and the number of people fleeing abroad increased. Victory is in sight.
Li Shimin is in a good mood, and when he has nothing to do, he chats with everyone.
Through the burning of Ansejo City and the radio station communication, Li Shimin and others all felt the importance of the Gewu mentioned by Li You.
On this day, Li Shimin, Li Jing and others specially set aside time for Li You to give them a discussion on Gewu.
Li You said: "Learning from things is a Confucian philosophical term. Uttering the words of "The Book of Rites. University": Enlightenment is in Gewu. Confucian scholars throughout the ages have interpreted this in different ways.
Han Zhengxuan believes that "Zhizhi" is to enable people to "know the good and evil, the end of good and evil", and Song Zhuxi believes that "Zhizhi is extreme; Know, too. I want to know everything." Ming Wang Shouren believes that "Zhizhi" is "to the conscience of my heart". See "To the Conscience".
"Seeking truth from facts" contains the spirit of "seeking truth from facts", but its connotation is far richer than "seeking truth from facts". The difference between the popular view today and Zhu Xi's view is in the interpretation of "enlightenment".
The so-called "knowledge" refers to intellect – which includes wisdom, experience, perception and knowledge – and the modern popular view of "knowledge" simply refers to knowledge.
In other words, Gewu does not just refer to the odd winning technique that people usually think, but also refers to the exploration of the regularity of all things.
Even if it is only an invention or creation, the power of Gewu is extremely great.
Everyone has also seen that the indestructible Anshi Castle has become so fragile by relying on the power of Gewu. It's all through the development of Gewu, and many more powerful weapons will continue to be discovered.
For example, a substance called gunpowder, when large enough, can blow up the entire city of Anshi into powder. Gunpowder-based weapons are called hot weapons, and when hot weapons are developed to a certain extent, dozens of women and children can easily annihilate 10,000 well-trained heavy cavalry with hot weapons......"
In order to make the high-level management of Datang pay more attention to the importance of invention and creation, Li You talked eloquently, but did not notice the strange eyes of everyone.
