In the 19th year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty was at its peak and all countries came to worship.
All countries gather, Chang 'an never sleeps.
Chang 'an, Prince Wu's Mansion.
In the past, it was quiet and quiet, without the noise of chariots and horses, and with the arrival of dignitaries and nobles.
However, today was different.
In the entire Chang 'an City, the 108 workshops in the eastern and western markets were more lively. The noise even reached the Wu Mansion.
"What happened in Chang 'an today? Why is it so noisy?"
"Your Highness, the Holy Monk Xuanzang has returned. His Majesty has ordered the Water and Land Meeting to be held, which is why it is so lively!”
Hearing this, a handsome man could not help but look up at the sky, slightly lost in thought.
"Xuanzang? Is the scripture collection over?"
He was the King of Wu, Li Ke, the third son of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin. His mother was the daughter of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang.
Li Ke was born in the second year of Wude (619) at the age of twenty-six (645), but he had experienced more than most people.
He was only ten years old when he transmigrated. It was the second year of Zhenguan, and he was granted the title of King of Shu.
He was awarded the important position of Governor of Yizhou, Governor of Yimian, Jian Jialing, Yamei, Mengjian, Qiong and other eight states (now Chengdu City, Sichuan Province), and Governor of Yizhou, Guangxi and Hui Dudu Fu, totaling 36 states.
Because he had transmigrated, he did not inherit many memories. In addition, there were differences in personality and habits.
Li Ke was afraid that people would see through the truth and then die before he could succeed.
Therefore, Li Ke used Mencius's saying,"When Heaven is about to give a great responsibility to a man, he must first suffer his mind, work his bones, starve his skin, empty his body, and disturb his actions." Therefore, he moved his heart and endured his nature to benefit what he could not do.”Reason.
Li Shimin was moved, and his original position changed to a new position.
Of course, he had nothing to do with the entire position. A ten-year-old child would only go to learn.
Even so, Li Ke's heroic and decisive wisdom spread far ahead of time and won Li Shimin's favor.
In the fifth year of Zhenguan, Li Ke, as in history, was appointed Governor of Qin, Cheng, Wei and Wu, and Governor of Qinzhou.
This was because his previous performance of being willing to study hard and be respectful to the wise when he was the governor of Yizhou had also become a real one.
This time, he had done many things.
As a result, in just two years, when Li Ke left his post, the people in the city were unwilling to see him off for dozens of miles. This shocked the entire court and his reputation was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Li Ke was transferred to the military of the seven states of Qi, Zi, Qing, Ju, Lai and Mi, and the governor of Qizhou. He served for one year and was recalled in the eighth year of Zhenguan.
It was because the Qi Province had always been a place of learning. When Li Ke was in office, he promoted Confucianism to the countryside and established a complete education system, which attracted a large number of students from poor families.
Seeing that even scholars were about to be 'bribed' by him, the other forces had no choice but to manipulate him into leaving his post early.
After leaving his post, Li Ke became the governor of Yizhou due to his outstanding achievements.
In order to prevent him from being in charge of a region, he would only be in a remote position, which could be considered as a precedent for a prince to be in charge of a region.
This was the highest moment of Li Ke's life.
After so many years of tempering, Li Ke was no longer an ordinary person before he transmigrated.
Li Ke had already assimilated into the Great Tang, and he hoped to bring about some changes to the Great Tang, so that he could leave an even more dazzling mark in the annals of history.
However, behind the Great Tang's peak, the various factions were tangled up in a web of interests, making it extremely difficult to do anything.
But even so, Li Ke still tried his best to change something.
Four years ago, when Princess Wencheng married, Li Ke wrote:
"This subject respectfully said that the Tubo were wild and unruly. After being defeated by the emperor, they sent envoys to apologize and offer gold to beg for mercy!”
"Ran, you brought this upon yourself. You still want to marry the princess!”
"Your Majesty's words contain the laws of heaven, and you have your own kindness and prestige in your heart. How can you allow others to threaten and demand it!”
"I dare say that in the Tang Dynasty, there will be no tribute or marriage. The emperor will guard the country gate and the king will die!”
"I'm afraid and afraid.”
When there was a Tang Dynasty, there would be no tribute or marriage. The emperor would guard the country gates and the king would die for the country!”This sentence spread.
For a time, Li Ke's reputation caught up to Li Shimin's and became the talk of the world.
As such, he was also ostracized and suppressed by various forces.
At first, he was brought up and impeached by Censor Liu Fan for hunting excessively and damaging crops.
Or bet with the son of the wet nurse, be impeached, etc., were all cleverly resolved by Li Ke.
After the opponents realized that they could not shake Li Ke's reputation, they wanted to completely destroy him physically. Assassinations occurred from time to time.
Li Ke naturally wouldn't surrender and allow himself to be humiliated.
At the peak of the battle, he even personally went into battle to kill the assassin.
After a few fierce clashes, not only did the various forces not gain any advantage, but they also suffered heavy casualties and even had their families confiscated and exterminated.
Because of the conflict, a year later, Crown Prince Li Chengqian was deposed, and Fourth Prince Li Tai failed to obtain the throne and was imprisoned in another room.
As for him, although he was the victim and was not punished by Li Shi Min, the fact that his brothers had killed each other made him change his title from King of Shu to King of Wu.
Li Shi Min's protection of his son also let the other forces know that he would never allow assassinations.
Thus, everyone tacitly rejected Li Ke and no longer dared to cross the lightning pool.
"It's been three years, and I've become an enemy of the world. Is there really no place for me in the Great Tang?”
When Li Ke thought of this, he could not help but smile bitterly, somewhat disheartened.
Four years ago, Li Ke once thought that even if he had the blood of the Sui Dynasty's Yang family, even if the throne did not fall to him, he would still try!
Even if he lost, he had to lose clearly!!!
Li Ke firmly believed that he was the one who could lead the Great Tang from this peak to greater glory.
But reality was cruel.
Because of his own bloodline, no matter if he was wise or stupid, he could not change anything.
Because this was the Great Tang, and the majority of the people who had already gained benefits could not tolerate a 'remnant' of the previous dynasty becoming their Emperor.
It was fine when Li Shiming was alive, but once he died, his death would not be far away.
It was precisely because he had seen through this that Li Ke did not hide his identity at the beginning and took the initiative to create a more perfect character.
What the enemy did not want to see the most was what he wanted to do.
But what if the enemy was everyone?
What he really cared about was Li Shiming's attitude.
Although Li Shi Min did not punish him, Li Shi Min making Li Zhi the Crown Prince was a huge blow to Li Ke.
Xuanzang's appearance startled Li Ke.
He was a transmigrator, so he naturally did not think that everything other than the Great Tang was a wasteland.
For a moment, Li Ke's pride was revived.
"The world is so big. Since the Great Tang can't tolerate me, I'll go find a place that can.”
"If they can conquer this glorious world, I, Li Ke, can naturally build an empire of my own.”
