Datang: Only by resisting the will can one become stronger

On the other side, Chengqing Palace, after everyone dispersed, Li Shimin also felt a little tired.

He walked towards the Lizheng Hall where Empress Changsun was.

When he came here, the crown prince Li Chengqian was entering the palace to visit his mother.

is chatting with the eldest grandson's mother and son, chatting and talking.

As soon as he saw Li Shimin, Li Chengqian hurriedly gave a salute.

Li Shimin looked at him lovingly, asked him to excuse himself, and continued to sit on the edge of his mother's bed and talk.

"Father, this time the queen mother is sick, and after the son asked the father to amnesty the world, it really worked.

"Seeing the queen mother's health getting better and better, the child's heart is also extremely happy.

Li Shimin nodded with a smile and praised: "Well, Cheng Qian, you have a heart." And

Empress Changsun also touched his head with pity.

At this time, Li Chengqian saw that Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were happy, so he continued: "Father, there is still one thing that the son and grandson ask for their father's consent. "

That is, when the queen mother is seriously ill, the son kneels in front of the gods and Buddhas every day to pray for his mother's blessings. He

also promised that as long as the queen mother could be cured, she would build 3,000 temples in return.

"Now under the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, the queen mother has recovered from her illness, and the foreign enemies of my Tang Dynasty have also retreated, so the sons want to ask their father and make a wish."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning slightly.

In fact, in Li Shimin's heart, especially after the Xuanwumen incident, Li Shimin's heart is also very much believed in God and Buddha.

It's just that he knows why the eldest grandson queen is seriously ill this time and why she recovered.

Even how the 200,000 elite Turkic army was defeated and retreated, he was also clear in his heart.

It has nothing to do with this so-called god and Buddha at all.

If he simply relied on these unreliable gods and Buddhas, without Li Qiu's sideways killing, it is estimated that he and Datang would have been gone a long time ago.

At this time, in Li Shimin's mind, he couldn't help but think of the situation of drinking with his eldest grandson Wuji in Li Qiu's restaurant that day.

At that time, Li Qiu said that the world would not change according to people's wishes and wishes.

No matter who becomes the emperor, no matter how the people pray, the disaster that should come will eventually come.

It's like Dayu to control the water, no matter how the people sacrifice and pray, it is better to be pragmatic to dredge and block, and the actual treatment of floods is more.

It's like this sharp iron horseman, it's useless for you to kneel down and beg them, and if you put those gods and Buddha statues in front of them, you can't resist their iron hooves.

The only thing is to clench your fists, defeat them, and repel them!

So, Li Shimin sighed lightly, "Cheng Qian, your filial piety, my father understands.

"It's also very gratifying.

"It's just that, you see that in this world, the Turkic strong enemy has just retreated, and the king of Lujiang in the south and the Liang division in the north are in chaos again.

"My soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have suffered countless casualties, and these several ruined cities have not been repaired.

"If you look at the drought in Shandong and Guanzhong, there are more and more displaced people.

"This people's suffering has not been properly resolved.

"So, let's talk about building the temple slowly.

Seeing Li Shimin say this, Li Chengqian still didn't give up.

"Father, there are many cities in the middle of the world, and there are many more among the people.

"But there is only one queen mother.

"I believe that for the sake of the health of the queen mother, even my Datang soldiers and my Datang people will not have the slightest complaint.

After hearing his words, Li Shimin's brows furrowed even deeper.

The tone of the reply was a little harsher.

"Prince!"

"What you said is right, even if these soldiers die on the battlefield, their horses are shrouded, their wives are separated, and their families are ruined, they will not have the slightest complaint.

"Because they are my hard-blooded men of the Tang Dynasty.

"Those people, even if they suffer from natural disasters and wars, have no food to eat, and starve to death on the way to migrate, they will not have the slightest complaint.

"Because they are the simple people of my Tang Dynasty.

"But!"

"As the crown prince, the prince of a country, you can't be indifferent, but you can't help but cherish them."

"For their sake, I won't build these 3,000 temples.

"This is a dilapidated and leaky Taiji Palace, and I will not rebuild it.

"This is just from the conscience of a Tang emperor!" After

being reprimanded by Li Shimin, Li Chengqian retreated under the cover of Empress Changsun.

At this time, Empress Eldest Sun sighed lightly.

"Erlang, Cheng Qian is also a piece of filial piety.

"You see you scared him out of the way.

Hearing this, Li Shimin sighed deeply and sat next to Empress Changsun.

He only said something faintly, and then fell into silence.

"The last words just now were what Li Qiu said to me.

"I found it useful, and I kept it in my heart.

"Whenever I want to work hard and lose money and plan to rebuild the Taiji Palace, I can always remember these words.

Empress Eldest Sun was stunned at this time, and then sighed as well.

"Erlang, isn't it too embarrassing for you to compare Qian'er with

Qiu'er?" "No matter what, he can't compare to Qiu'er."

"The gap between these two children is too big..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin sighed even more.

"Alas, I don't want to criticize him and compare him to Qiu'er.

"But he is the crown

prince!The prince of a country!""Li Qiu's identity will always be announced to the world one day, if it is then, how should he, the prince, deal with himself?!"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin knocked on the table in annoyance.

"Look at the current Li Qiu, who is still just a businessman, how many people have gathered around him?"

"Let's get rid of the two of us first, as well as the eldest grandson Wuji, because I know Qiu'er's identity."

"Then go to Luo Sen, Youzhou Luo's family, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Chai Shao, they are all Luo Cheng's sworn brothers.

"Even if so many people are removed, Li Qiu still has Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Wang Qi, Feng Li, Wei Ting, and Zhang Yungu beside him.

"Like Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling's love for talents, Li Jing, a handsome talent that is rare in history, has already told me more than once.

"To transfer Li Qiu to his side, he is ready to teach him his life's hard work and the art of war.

"I think back then, Hou Junji followed Li Jing and wanted to learn the art of war, you also know.

"Ren Hou Junji is so earnest and humble, Li Jing doesn't want to teach him at all. "

In the end, it was I who interceded, and I reluctantly taught him some fur.

"But just these skins have already benefited Hou Junji a lot.

"If one day in the future, I announce the identity of Prince Qiu'er to the world, I can't imagine what kind of situation will happen at that time!"
