Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

"Long live the Tang Dynasty!"

In the Taiji Hall, Li Chenggan looked up at Aye's back and shouted this praise sincerely.

Li Shimin turned around and wanted to pat his son's head, but he paused halfway and finally patted his shoulder:

"How far is ten thousand years? A thousand years are also empty. I will be satisfied if I can extend the prosperity for a hundred years."

Not hearing Aye call himself "I" shows that the conversation is relaxed and casual, so Li Chenggan relaxed a little more and even tried to straighten his back:

"I am the prince of the greatest emperor in history, why can't I give it a try? What if there is something to be done?"

Looking down at his eldest son, Li Shimin gestured at the height that was already up to his chest, and finally laughed:

"Then go ahead and try. No matter when, just remember that Aye is behind you."

It was still morning, and the sun shone in from the door of Taiji Hall, making this wide hall bright, adding a bit of brilliance to his son's crown, and making the map behind him clearer.

After the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin was worried that his son could not accept too much at once, so he summoned him to slowly tell him about it after he was in charge of government affairs in the Taiji Hall.

There is also a very detailed huge world map here. Li Shimin liked to stand on it barefoot with a lamp before, looking at the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty, planning the places that must be taken, and imagining the distant scenery.

But it was obviously not appropriate to explain it in detail to his son, so the huge map was framed and turned into a huge screen.

Just now, it was Li Shimin who simply told Li Chenggan about the history of the "Tang Dynasty" defeating all enemies in the Western Regions and absorbing this place into Han territory again based on this map.

That's why Li Chenggan was so excited. After all, his father had told him early that when he was older and more familiar with martial arts, the Western Regions would be the last experience for him as a prince to become an adult.

Aye only briefly described the experience of "Li Chenggan" in a few words, saying that it was his fault that the father and son were at odds, and that they were eventually instigated by traitors to turn against each other, causing a disaster similar to that of the former prince.

For Li Chenggan, who had just experienced the sweet dew that pointed out the future, it was easy to imagine the whole process of his mother's death and his father's grief, which eventually led to family discord and disaster.

Therefore, the position of the crown prince was vacant, so there was the history of his younger brother getting the temple name of Emperor Gaozong, but now... Li Chenggan himself didn't care much about these. He just wanted to follow his father's instructions and show what he had learned.

Li Shimin smiled in his heart. He knew what his son cared about because he had also experienced this period of youth.

What is a youth? He looked down on everything and wanted to measure the height of the sky with his ambition, and he wanted to make the world his name.

This is also the reason why he dared to pick and choose and tell his son the history of later generations with reservations. It is difficult for a young man of this age to have any sinister thoughts. He will definitely want to help himself out of trouble and surpass his brother's achievements.

And now, it seems that no one knows his son better than his father.

Li Shimin's words that he is his son's reliance also obviously made Li Chenggan excited again.

However, after the prince was excited, he was also confused:

"Recently, my father asked me to watch disaster relief and how to comfort refugees. He also asked me to learn from Sun Yaowang how to avoid epidemics and promote cleanliness. Is there another disaster?"

This made Li Shimin sigh:

"It is September now, and there are only three months left in the sixth year of Zhenguan."

This made Li Chenggan alert instantly, and asked softly:

"Could it be that later generations said that after the sixth year of Zhenguan..."

Li Shimin nodded:

"We have talked about the years of Zhenguan. Only five and six years were peaceful. The remaining twenty years were full of disasters and misfortunes every year."

"And the important area of ​​Hebei... has experienced wars for a long time, and the further north you go, the more people of Hu and Han live together, and the people are very fierce."

"If this place is safe, the Tang Dynasty is safe. If this place is resentful, the Tang Dynasty is in danger. If this place is rebellious, the Tang Dynasty is in danger. The fall of the Tang Dynasty must be observed and treated with caution. "

This explanation made Li Chenggan a little uneasy, but he quickly put it behind his mind:

"I will definitely live up to your trust and respect the elders of the people as my eldest grandson and uncle, and love the children of the people as my slaves!"

Li Shimin didn't think his son could really do this, but it was always good to have this mentality, so he pondered for a while and said casually:

"Since it's like the flow, I've finished my instructions for the time being."

"It's September now, and the next time to view the light curtain is in early October."

"After this light curtain viewing... Chenggan will leave."

Li Chenggan suddenly raised his head. Although his father had talked about the arrangements for the next few years many times, this was the first time he had said exactly when to leave.

He knew his father's hesitation and his mother's reluctance, but now he still wanted to travel the vast world and see with his own eyes the country that his father had conquered and might be handed over to him.

When he looked up, he saw his father's back, who had turned away at some point, and seemed to have made up his mind. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not stop and made the arrangements one by one in an orderly manner:

"There are still more than 20 days left. The areas in Hebei will be much colder than Chang'an. You must order the East Palace to prepare winter clothes and food and fodder. The food and fodder must go first before the three armies move, and you should do the same this time."

"Son, save it."

"Keming said earlier that there are Nestorians from the Western Regions who came to pay me a visit. They arrived in Chang'an a few days ago. You will receive them on my behalf. With Keming taking care of them, don't worry. But remember, you can listen to their words but not believe their stories of gods and ghosts. If it is true what later generations say, all the people in the West are Nestorians. Their ability to deceive people may be extraordinary. You must be careful."

"Don't worry, Aye. No matter how eloquent the foreign monk is, can he still have the magic of the light curtain?"

"That's true... But don't forget your brothers and sisters. Although Qingque and Lizhi are close to you in age, you are still the eldest brother. You must be careful before you leave. Leave behind instructions and homework, and you need to test them when you return. Chi Nu and Cheng Yang are still young, so you need to accompany them more, in case your younger brothers and sisters don't recognize them when you return. And Ming Da..."

"I know, I'm the eldest brother, and these are my responsibilities."

Li Chenggan agreed, but suddenly smiled:

"Father, I said before that girls should also have names, why not name Cheng Yang first?"

He, Li Chenggan, currently has three younger sisters. The eldest and youngest sisters are favored and have names, but Princess Cheng Yang has no name. Li Chenggan is also worried that when the younger sisters grow up, they will inevitably feel that they are treated differently.

Li Shimin nodded to indicate that he would take note of this matter, and casually instructed:

"What about the memorial about this matter that I told you about before? When can it be finished?"

This made Li Chenggan look bitter:

"It will be soon, give me a few more days..."

Li Shimin nodded, and his voice hesitated for a moment:

"And your mother, she is sensible and will definitely not keep you, but it does not mean that she will not miss you..."

Li Chenggan listened quietly to his father's explanation, which was gradually mixed with nasal sounds, and remembered every word firmly in his heart.
