Chapter 685 Return to Chang'an

Lin Xuan didn't know what happened in the grassland, and after sending Ashina Sheer away the next day, he returned to the barracks.

After handing over the military affairs to Xue Rengui, Lin Xuan took his own soldiers to Chang'an.

Hurrying all the way, on the afternoon of the third day, Chang'an City appeared in Lin Xuan's eyes.

Chang'an City is not different because of the turmoil in the grassland, it is still so prosperous, with a trace of tranquility and peace.

"Qiu Fu, you take people back to the mansion first, and Liu Da brings 30 people into the city with me." Lin Xuan ordered.

"Yes."

After the team separated, Lin Xuan and Liu Da and other soldiers headed for Chang'an City.

When he came to the gate of the city, Liu Da stepped forward and handed over the document. The soldiers guarding the gate checked it and let him go.

Lin Xuan walked along the broad Suzaku Avenue all the way to the gate of the palace.

After a briefing, Lin Xuan was taken to Ganlu Hall.

Lin Xuan also saw Cheng Chuliang and Chang Sun Chong outside the Ganlu Hall.

The two were dressed in Ming Guangkai and stood guard with spears in hand.

Lin Xuan couldn't say hello to Cheng Chuliang either, so he blinked at him, nodded with a smile, and then, led by the eunuch, entered the Ganlu Hall.

Chang Sunchong gave Lin Xuan a vicious look. Lin Xuan's smile just now made him feel like he was laughing at him.

If Changsun Wuji hadn't forced him to marry the princess, he wouldn't have married at all.

The eldest grandson's family is originally a relative of the emperor, and has the title of Duke Zhao, so it is not polite for anyone to meet him.

What's so good about marrying a princess?

Now he stands on guard every day and doesn't say anything, Princess Gao Yang usually doesn't give him a good face. Due to the status of Princess Gao Yang, even if he is upset, he dare not do anything to Princess Gao Yang.

Also being a son-in-law, Lin Xuan can lead the army to roam around, but he has to stand guard, the more he thinks about the eldest Sun Chong, the more unbalanced he becomes.

He didn't think that Lin Xuan was any better than him, he thought that what Lin Xuan could do, he could do too.

Naturally, Lin Xuan didn't know Chang Sun Chong's thoughts. After entering the main hall, he saw Li Shimin reviewing the memorial.

Lin Xuan curled his lips secretly, what good is being an emperor, every day he either goes to court or reviews memorials, and there are so many women to favor at night, no wonder the emperor doesn't live long.

In all fairness, apart from the supreme power, the emperor is not as good as a prince.

Of course, it would be better to be a fool than a prince.

But it seems that the life of the faint king is shorter.

Looking at it this way, no matter whether it is a wise king or a foolish one, the emperor will not live long. I really don't understand why so many people miss that position.

When he came close, Lin Xuan saluted respectfully: "See Your Majesty."

Li Shimin raised his head when he heard the words, saw Lin Xuan put down the pen in his hand, and said, "Excuse me, give me a seat."

Don't ask why Li Shimin raised his head when he heard the sound, could it be that he couldn't hear the footsteps?

Sorry, he really can't hear it.

The most basic skill of the maids and eunuchs in the palace is to walk without making a sound.

Although Lin Xuan is not a court lady and eunuch, the Ministry of Rites will teach etiquette when civil and military officials go to court for the first time.

Although walking is not so harsh that walking does not make a sound, the requirements are minimal.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After thanking Lin Xuan, he sat down.

"How about the things I told you to do?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, Ashinasheer has agreed." Lin Xuan told the story of his meeting with Ashinasheer.

Li Shimin pondered for a while, and asked, "What do you think of Ashinasheer?"

Lin Xuan understands that Li Shimin is worried that Ashinasheer will annex the Western Turks by helping Yuanqi. Compared with Yuanqi and Tong Eshe, Ashinasheer is much more difficult to deal with.

"Ashi Nasheer has good military skills, but lacks political vision, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Lin Xuan thought for a long time and said.

The reason why Lin Xuan said this was the result of combining history and his understanding of Ashinasheer in several meetings.

In history, Ashinasheer chose to fight Xue Yantuo when he occupied half of the territory of Western Turks, but was eventually defeated by Xue Yantuo. In addition, Western Turks took the opportunity to counterattack and had to flee to Gaochang.

At that time, the Western Turks had already been defeated steadily by him. If he continued to attack the Western Turks, there was a great possibility that he would be able to annex the Western Turks.

Ashinasheer gave up such a good opportunity just because of hatred, which shows his lack of political vision.

After meeting several times, Lin Xuan also felt that Ashinasheer may be good at fighting, but he is not suitable to be a monarch.

Liu Bang is famous in history for killing heroes. Although it is not uncommon to kill heroes, only Zhu Yuanzhang is more powerful than him in history.

However, among the three heroes in the early Han Dynasty, Liu Bang only killed one Han Xin, while Xiao He and Zhang Liang both died well.

In fact, Liu Bang's suspicion of Zhang Liang and Xiao He is no less than that of Han Xin.But the reason why the two ended well is because they both know how to retreat bravely.

It should be said that Zhang Liang is the smartest of the three, and also the one Liu Bang is most assured of.Zhang Liang is proficient in Huang Lao's learning, and knows the truth of "not cutting down on his merits, not showing off his abilities", so when Liu Bang discussed rewards for meritorious deeds, Zhang Liang rejected Liu Bang's "choose [-] of his own." The reward of "household", as long as the "stay" this place.Because Zhang Liang had no roots and was indifferent to fame and fortune, Liu Bang was most at ease with Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang was thus able to die well.

Compared with Zhang Liang, Xiao He seems to be "deeply rooted" in Guanzhong, which also aroused Liu Bang's suspicion.It is said that Liu Bang tested Xiao He three times to see if he was determined.But Xiao He dispelled Liu Bang's doubts and worries three times, thus turning the danger into safety and surviving.

How did Xiao He do it? In the first two times, Xiao He dispelled Liu Bang's concerns by sending young and middle-aged men to the front line and donating his family property.When he was suspected by Liu Bang for the third time, Xiao He had won the hearts of the people in Guanzhong and became an important object of Liu Bang's suspicion.At this time, Xiao He followed other people's advice and did something like "forced purchase of private farmland and private houses and high interest rates", and used "self-pollution" to ruin his good reputation in the hearts of the people, so that Liu Bang could feel at ease, and finally he died well. .

Han Xin was different. Not only did he not know how to retire after success, but he made a fatal mistake of taking the initiative to ask for credit, and was finally killed by Xiao He and Empress Lu.

Although it seems that it has nothing to do with Liu Bang, but think about Xiao He's intelligence, without Liu Bang's acquiescence, he would dare to conspire with Queen Lu to murder Han Xin?

Such examples abound, and Yue Fei is the most famous among them.

I understand everything, so I won’t say much here. (Mainly because I dare not say it anymore, I wrote some of my own opinions before, it was blocked, and it has not been unblocked until now)

Of course, political vision can only be used to protect oneself wisely.

It is also a must for a monarch.

Every time the world is in chaos in history, many ambitious people will emerge to compete for the world.

Take the Three Kingdoms as an example, Cao Cao could tell Liu Bei that you and I are the only heroes in the world, but are the other princes not superior?

It's just that those people lack courage, courage, and political vision, or they are inferior to Cao Cao and others in these aspects.

Under the big waves washing the sand, those who can become a prince have their own advantages, but the light is covered by others.
