Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

And according to the last wish of Empress Changsun, it was only a thin burial.

Gold and jade are not hidden, people, horses, and utensils are all made of earth and wood, and they are just tools.

If you want to say that after Fang Xuanling passed away, there was a vacancy in Li Shimin's heart.

Then the departure of Empress Changsun directly led to the collapse of Li Shimin's spiritual pillar.

I fell into sadness for a long time, unable to extricate myself.

In order to be able to miss his dead wife, he ordered people to set up a viewing platform in the back garden to look at Zhaoling.

But the more so, the more he missed and the sadness in his heart was exacerbated.

In order to avoid looking at things and thinking about others, he didn't even want to go back to the palace.

And Li Qiu, after the death of Empress Changsun.

The whole person also fell into silence and deep sorrow.

Every time I hold the "Women's Rules" written by Empress Changsun, I look at the familiar font on it.

What I think about in my mind is all about my mother's voice and appearance.

At the same time, he also gave the order to Datang Academy.

Print this book of women's rules indefinitely.

Distributed to the people of the world for free, and widely distributed in the world.

In the east city of Chang'an City, in Li Qiu's old house.

The late autumn sun slanted down from the sky.

It looks warm, but it is cold and cold.

Like this, Li Qiu sat quietly on the stone steps.

She didn't move, didn't say a word.

I remember that a few years ago, also in late autumn, when the old housekeeper Wang Zhong who had been dependent on Li Qiu passed away.

Li Qiu is also like this, sitting here quietly, feeling strands of sadness slipping from his fingertips, before his eyes.

But when he was the loneliest and saddest, there was a figure like sunshine.

The empress with kind eyes gently pushed open the wooden door and walked into the yard.

Then he sat quietly beside him.

Li Qiu still remembers the loving and warm words spoken by the Empress at that time, "Wang Zhong, he is a loving and righteous old servant, old steward."

"Actually, after the news of your death in battle came out, it was obvious that the time was not far away, Wang Zhong."

"However, in order to make you feel at ease, he has done all the instructions you have given, one by one."

"I can really understand how you feel at this moment."

"If you have something in your heart, if you have any grievances and sadness, just tell me."

"Don't hold it in your heart alone, it's easy to go wrong."

"I think before Wang Zhong left, I must also hope that you can live happily and live every day that follows."

"If you're so sad and you keep yourself bored in the yard all day, he won't be relieved on the other side."

"Also, look, in today's Chang'an City, there are still many people like me, Your Majesty, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, etc. who care about you."

"If you keep doing this, wouldn't it make them more worried?"

"Now, you are no longer the little merchant who opened a nameless restaurant."

"Instead, he has become a great hero for the people of our entire Tang Dynasty and Chang'an City."

"This country still needs you to protect and serve, so you should cheer up, don't you..."

Life is so not worth remembering.

Thinking about this, Li Qiu burst into tears again.

In the bottom of my heart, I called out tightly, mother!

And on the roof of this courtyard.

Yun Zhong also hugged his legs tightly, tears had already soaked his sleeves.

Unknowingly, this world's top ruthless killer has already been thoroughly integrated into this world.

Empress Dowager really treats her like her own daughter and loves her dearly.

This was also the first time in Yunzhong's life that he felt a mother's love.

When the empress passed away, Yun Zhong was the same, he was silent in grief, unable to extricate himself.

Back then, when Wang Zhong died of illness, Yun Zhong sat silently on the roof like this.

From Li Qiu, I felt an emotion called sadness.

But now, she is still sitting on the roof, feeling the sadness in her heart just like Li Qiu.

It's just that although the two of them have a good understanding, they are also so sad.

But still, one is sitting on the stone steps in the courtyard, and the other is sitting quietly on the roof.

Perhaps, this is the world and tacit understanding that belong to the two of them alone.

……

A year later, with the alternation of spring, summer, autumn and winter again.

Datang and everyone's life must continue.

In terms of warfare, Feng Li, Li Daozong, and Xi Junmai's Southern Expeditionary Army had captured most of the countries and lands.

Their main task is also almost completed.

Maybe in another year, they will be able to finish it off completely and return to court.

And the Zhengxi Army, also supported by powerful firepower, was in full swing.

Bulldozers swept across the European continent.

Now their footsteps have defeated the Eastern Roman Empire, crossed the Volga River, and launched the final march towards the Eastern European continent.

Above the Chaotang, everything is moving in a good direction.

Datang's laws, systems, and government procedures are constantly being improved and optimized.

Li Shimin, now, hardly cares about any government affairs, and has given full power to the prince.

Perhaps, in the hearts of every official, they are waiting for the arrival of the Zen position.

For Li Qiu, everything is fine.

Over the past few years, he has also gotten used to the heaviness and pressure that a king needs to face.

And as time passed, the two children, Wen Zhi and Wu Gong, also grew up suddenly.

Maybe as early as the beginning, when the Supreme Emperor named the child, he had already planned and arranged everything.

Martial arts mainly focus on martial arts and military strategy.

In the future, he may be trained as a great general of the Tang Dynasty.

He was also personally trained by Luo Kexin.

It is also the most complete, the successor of Wei Gong's Art of War.

As for the eldest son Wenzhi, he is also a few years older.

They have already begun to be trained to handle some simple government affairs within their capabilities.

Since Li Qiu was too busy, he also lacked that patience.

Therefore, the teaching of Wenzhi was transferred to Wu Jue.

After all, when it comes to political talent and governance, Wu Jue is a few blocks away from Li Qiu.

Sometimes talent has to be admired.

Chapter 1080

Even Li Qiu often had to discuss with Wu Sui about governing the country and ask for advice.

Such a big Tang Dynasty must be decided by Li Qiu alone.

Naturally, troubles are indispensable.

For state affairs, fortunately, there are many capable ministers such as Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou, and Cen Wenwen.

But there are some things that can only be handled by Li Qiu himself.

Think back to when Fang Xuanling was alive.

Even though Princess Gao Yang was in Fang's house, she kept her word and she was unruly and willful.

But with Fang Xuanling around, Gao Yang, who is not stupid, can tell the importance and the bottom line.

But after Fang Xuanling passed away, how could the Fang family have someone to restrain her?

Ever since, this Princess Gaoyang was pampered and spoiled without restraint, and behaved disorderly.

Started her original historical trajectory.

Unruly, fornication.

However, regarding her point, since Fang Xuanling died and entrusted the Fang family to Li Qiu.

Li Qiu was inoculated early.

When it was discovered that Princess Gaoyang had an affair for the first time, it had not yet succeeded.

Jing Wuming, who had been keeping a close eye on Princess Gaoyang's whereabouts, broke through the window directly.

Under Li Qiu's secret confession, Jing Wuming was relentless.

The handsome and unrestrained son of the noble family was directly beheaded on the spot.

Naturally, Gao Yang was so frightened that his face paled.

After this incident, Jing Wuming directly dragged the body of the noble boy and threw it into their courtyard.

And when they learned the truth of the matter, this arrogant family of aristocrats was terrified to death.

The world of today is no longer the world of the past.

Today's Li Qiu is no longer the same Li Qiu as before.

And this serious crime of adultery with Princess Gaoyang, not to mention Prince Li Qiu.

Even if the trouble is brought to His Majesty, how can it end up in their favor?

As a result, they naturally dare not speak out about such scandals and serious crimes.

The next day, the person in charge of the family had to find ways to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to plead guilty.

On the other side, Li Qiu also went directly to Princess Gao Yang, and with a pale face, he taught Gao Yang a few words.

Originally, when facing Jing Wuming alone, Gao Yang was really afraid.

Today's Jing Wuming has already grown into a pretty girl.

But the temperament, especially the coldness and murderous look in the eyes.

It was exactly the same as her master Yun Zhong.

If relying solely on murderous intent and temperament, sometimes even Li Qiu could easily misperceive the two of them.

Princess Gao Yang, who has always been smart, naturally knows it too.

Jing Wuming really dared to kill himself, but others did not.

So he returned to the public eye, especially after meeting Li Qiu.

She was suddenly fearless again.

Facing Li Qiu's education, she snorted coldly with contempt.
