Li Chao had already thanked him and left, and Li Shimin sat alone in the chair and pondered.
"Maybe I made the wrong decision."
Li Shimin sighed softly, and the queen's eldest grandson poured out the freshly stewed old chicken soup from the warm pot.
"Your Majesty, drink it while it's hot, lately you've been eating and closing, and your face has become much haggard."
Li Shimin picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful.
"It tastes really good, fragrant and strong."
After drinking several sips, he stopped, "Guanyin, did you say I did the right thing?"
Empress Eldest Sun didn't want to intervene in these major matters, so as not to affect her husband's judgment.
It can be seen that he was full of confusion, but he still couldn't help but say, "Concubine, please ask Your Majesty, since Your Majesty has hesitation in your heart, why did you make this will?"
Li Shimin chuckled.
He pulled the queen in front of him, took his hand and stroked it, the queen was the head of the harem, but he often cooked for him and made stews and soups, and even knitted woolen sweaters for him and the princes at night. and personally taught the princesses to read and learn, this is really a queen who can't stop, there are many people in this harem, there are dozens of concubines, not to mention the huge group of palace maids.
But with such a large palace court, the queen can manage it in an orderly manner.
"Guanyin, it is true that no one forced me to make such a decision.
The reason why I made this decision is because there is such a voice in my heart that I cannot ignore.
I carefully examined the bits and pieces of my acquaintance with Wenyuan, first in the city of Zhaozhou, Hebei. ” "I still remember that I drank the liquor brewed by Li Chao at that time, and you also know that I was not good at drinking, so I got drunk all of a sudden.
After getting drunk, he ordered Li Chao to enter the city of Zhaozhou to persuade him to surrender, which was almost a trip to death.
Zhang Sanzhen, who was not even a soldier at that time, went, and successfully took the city of Yuzhou for me, but afterwards, he did not blame me. ” "I've been keeping an eye on him ever since.
Later, I also went to Ba Shang's house, and the more I came into contact with him, the more I found that I couldn't see through this person. ” Thinking of those bits and pieces, Li Shimin also sighed.
What's more, Li Chao helped him more and more later, and even saved his life repeatedly.
In the first battle of Longxi, he was almost defeated and died, and at a critical time, it was Li Chao who ignored the danger and led a group of people to scare off the Tuyuhun army and save him.
Before the Xuanwumen Change, he was exhausted, and it was Li Chao who helped him reverse the situation and win the world in one fell swoop.
Since then, several Turkic attacks have turned the tide.
Not to mention that Li Chao led the implementation of the Zhenguan New Deal after that, so that the Tang Dynasty, which had just unified the world not long ago and was still in a mess everywhere, quickly became powerful.
There is also this restoration rebellion, and it is also Li Chao who can quell the rebellion so quickly and eliminate the impact of the rebellion as soon as possible.
"I think about it, Li Chao's credit is too great.
And I gave him too little reward.
It's not fair, he's loyal to me, he's not double-minded, but I'm starting to watch out for it, it's not right, I'm too stingy. ” Empress Eldest Sun didn't comment, she just stroked the back of her husband's hand.
"Your Majesty is the king of a country, you think more long-term."
"yes, that's what I used to think, and I felt prepared.
But after this rebellion, my mind changed.
Sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity, if I treat Li Chao badly again and again, then will he always remain loyal to me, people's hearts are flesh and blood, I can't treat him like this. ” "Otherwise, everyone in the world will look down on me, if I can't even live with a Li Chao, who will be willing to serve me in the future."
"Wuji always told me to guard against Li Chao, saying that Li Chao has the ability, prestige, connections and wealth.
But I thought about it carefully, Li Chao does have the ability and money, but so what, Li Chao is only a courtier of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chao has many in-laws, and many of them have good connections, but as long as I am fair, what reason does Li Chao have to oppose me, or when Li Chao really wants to oppose me, will his in-laws and friends choose him instead of me?"
"Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Cui Gan, Zheng Shanguo, Sun Fujia, Ma Zhou, etc., I believe they are not that kind of people.
I have nothing to be sorry for Li Chao, if Li Chao is against me, for what reason he will be against his teacher, he will only be spurned by the whole world instead of being supported. ” Empress Eldest Sun said, "It seems that Your Majesty has really considered this matter very clearly. ” "Yes, I've thought about it for a long time, and I've thought about it a lot.
I am the Son of Heaven and the Lord of the Four Seas, and I should be generous and broad-minded.
I shouldn't make a fuss about a fief, that will only chill the hearts of loyal ministers and soldiers.
Let Li Chao go and defeat Yue Guo by himself, anyway, he has money, and the expenses for using soldiers are all paid by himself. ” Li Shimin smiled when he said this, "The fief has been defeated, and I don't have to worry about anything."
It was only a three-hundred-mile fiefdom, the sky was high and far away, it was very remote, and it would take a long time to run it.
Even if Li Chao can run it there quickly, I don't have to worry about anything. ” "His fiefdom is not independent, and when the fief is lively, the imperial court will send officials to manage it and even transfer the army."
"As long as I and Li Chao do their part well and abide by their duties, then they will always be fine."
The queen served Li Shimin another bowl of soup.
"In that case, what else is Your Majesty worried about?"
Li Shimin shook his head.

"That being said, I do have a vague sense of worry in my heart.
Li Chao is too capable, and when he releases it, it is like a kite with a broken string, and he can no longer control it.
I don't dare to say that things will go exactly the way I hoped. ” "But that's it, I can't worry about this, so I want to keep Li Chao in Beijing for the rest of my life.
That's not right, I can't treat a hero as a prisoner. ” "The concubine believes in His Majesty's vision, and His Majesty will definitely not regret today's decision."
"I hope so" The news spread out of the palace like a wind, and soon spread throughout Hanjing.
The emperor gave 3,000 troops to Li Chao, the king of Yue, and Li Chao was about to go south out of Beijing to seize his fiefdom, which caused countless people to marvel.
Shangshu's left servant shot the eldest Sun Wuji was handling political affairs in the public house, and after hearing the news, he stopped what he was doing, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time.
The emperor let Li Chaojing go, and also transferred 3,000 troops to him as a national guard, isn't this a tiger returning to the mountain, and also lent him a pair of wings "Your Majesty will regret it, you will definitely regret it."
"No, I must stop Your Majesty, it was a wrong decision."
The eldest grandson Wuji has no old grudges with Li Chao, he just thinks about the Tang Dynasty, and he always thinks that Li Chao is a dangerous figure.
Li Chao's prestige is too high, his ability is too strong, and he is too rich and has good connections.
Such a person, once there is a storm, can immediately take advantage of the situation.
Therefore, for such people, they must not be given the slightest chance, and they must be kept on guard.
But now, the emperor actually wants to let him leave Beijing, and let him lead his troops to seize his fiefdom, this is not what it is to let the tiger return to the mountain. t1706231537:
