Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Since the death of Li Shimin and Queen Changsun, Li Zhi moved into the Taiji Palace, and Cai'er, as his queen, naturally moved to the Lizheng Palace.  For this reason, Concubine Yang stayed in Chang'an for a few more months, leaving all the palace management matters to Cai'er, and then went to Taiwan to live with Li Min's family.

    In the glass greenhouse on the side of Taiji Palace, hot water flows through the underground copper pipes, making the temperature in the greenhouse very high. All kinds of flowers and plants are growing very well, and there are even some bees flying around among the flowers.  , it looks the same as the scenery in spring, but looking out through the glass of the greenhouse, you can only see large tracts of snowflakes flying outside.

    "It's snowing again in Chang'an. It's not like Taiwan, where it just rains all winter and you can't see any snowflakes at all. For those of us who grew up in the north, if there are no snowflakes in winter, it's not winter at all!"  In a small pavilion for people to rest in the greenhouse, Li Min said with some emotion while drinking the tea made by Cai'er himself.

    Today is the third snowfall since the beginning of winter in Chang'an, and the biting north wind is blowing loudly. Before the snowflakes fall all over the sky, they are blown up again by the cold wind, making the surrounding area completely white, making it difficult for pedestrians to pass by.  I couldn't see the road clearly, and many people stayed at home without coming out.

    "Cousin, you always make sarcastic remarks. I still can't adapt to the cold weather in Chang'an. I miss the warm sunshine in Taiwan every winter, but it's impossible to go back now, so I have to stay in the palace every day.  The most I can do here is grow tea and weed in this greenhouse, it¡¯s really boring!¡± Cai¡¯er, who was sitting in front of Li Min, said lazily. She had lived in Taiwan since she was a child.  Naturally, I can't stand the cold weather in the north.

    Cai'er is now over thirty, and exudes mature charm with every smile.  Over the years, she and Li Zhi gave birth to two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Li Hong, was established as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.  In addition, Li Zhi has also had some physical problems in recent years.  The main reason is that Cai'er inherited the qi disease from Li Shimin. Cai'er felt sorry for him, so she sometimes helped Li Zhi handle government affairs. Now she has become Li Zhi's most trusted and important assistant.  It is precisely because of this that Cai'er now looks mature and somewhat intellectual, and has the feeling of a strong woman in future generations.

    Hearing Cai'er's complaint, Li Min smiled and said: "Although Chang'an is nice, it is too cold in winter and a little humid in summer. In terms of conditions, it is not as good as Luoyang. In addition, the development of Dengzhou and Shanghai is also good. Datang  Someone in the country has long proposed moving the capital, but you and your ninth brother should consider it!"

    "Eh? Cousin, don't you want to merge the four countries? Then you can directly set a capital on the coast of the Tang Dynasty. My husband and I can just move there. Why move the capital?" Cai'er said and glanced sideways at Li Min.  Touch other people's deep meaning.

    Noticing Cai'er's intriguing eyes, Li Min took a sip of tea again and said with a smile: "You're an older girl. You're also more thoughtful. You even go around in circles in front of your cousin. Come on, tell me, you're here to see me this time.  Don¡¯t you want to talk about merging the four empires?¡±

    I saw Cai'er burst into laughter after hearing this.  Pointing at Li Min, he said angrily: "Cousin, it's true. I am also the Queen of the Tang Dynasty now, but you are better off. You even call me 'girl'. If those old antiques from the Ministry of Rites know about it, they will definitely scold you like crazy!"  "

    Seeing that Cai'er was joking with him, Li Min also responded with a few words.  As a result, the cousins, who had not seen each other for many years, got into such a quarrel that they almost forgot about the business.

    "Cousin, I think your idea of ??merging the four countries is a bit inappropriate. At least one aspect is too ill-considered!" Cai'er finally said straight to the point.

    "Oh? What's so inconsiderate?" Li Min asked in surprise.

    I saw Cai'er tucking a strand of hanging hair behind her ears, and then showed an intellectual smile and said: "Cousin, your idea of ????merging the four countries is very bold and very good, because it is indeed the most direct way to resolve the conflicts between the four countries.  It is also the most effective method, but you have overlooked one issue, that is, the national conditions of Tang, Daqi, Tianzhu and the four Mediterranean countries are different. For example, if the four countries are merged and you, cousin, become the emperor of the new empire, there will naturally be no differences in Daqi.  What could go wrong? As for the Tang Dynasty, cousin, with your reputation in the Tang Dynasty, you should be able to control the situation. However, Tianzhu and the Mediterranean are different. There are the Third Brother, the Seventh Brother and the Eighth Brother with their confidants.  Those who were defeated, even if Third Brother and the others are willing to merge the four countries and hand over their throne, will their subordinates agree?"

    After hearing Cai'er's words, Li Xun was also stunned. He had previously focused all his energy on convincing Li Zhi and the others, but he had neglected this point. Both Tianzhu and Mediterranean countries were Li Ke, Li Yun, and Li Zhi.  Zhen personally led the people to defeat it. Although he helped a lot, the impact on the two countries was actually limited. If Li Ke and the others really handed over the throne, I am afraid that none of their domestic civil and military officials would agree.  , and may even lead to??Civil unrest.

    Thinking of this serious consequence, Li Min couldn't help but fell silent. It seemed that his previous thinking was too simple and his thinking was a bit idealistic. There was no problem with the ultimate ideal of merging the four empires. The question was how to merge and what measures should be taken.  Which way to merge?

    Cai'er saw Li Min's pensive expression, but then she smiled and said, "Cousin, I actually have an immature idea, why don't I tell you for your reference?"

    Li Min, who was in distress, perked up when he heard Cai'er's words and said eagerly: "Speak quickly, Cai'er, your brain is much better than my cousin's. Even my ninth brother often praises you as a person who handles government affairs."  good helper!"

    Hearing Li Min's compliment, Cai'er pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Actually, I think your cousin's idea of ??merging the four countries is very good, but some places are obviously too anxious. Everything must be done step by step, let alone merging the four countries."  The great empire is a major event that concerns the entire world, so I think the merger of the four great empires can be divided into three major steps!"

    "What three big steps?" Li Min's eyes brightened when he heard this. Cai'er had obviously thought it over carefully, which made him more confident in Cai'er's idea.

    I saw Cai'er taking a gentle sip of tea, and then said with a relaxed smile: "The prerequisite for merging the four empires is that Sixth Brother, you must convince the eldest cousin, Seventh Brother, and Eighth Brother, but even if you all agree  Merger, this news must still be kept strictly confidential, and the next step is to form a close alliance!"

    "Alliance?" Li Min was a little surprised and confused when he heard this. Although the alliance sounds good in name, and it can indeed solve some superficial conflicts, the countries are still independent within the alliance, and the root cause of the conflicts is still there.  It is impossible to completely solve the problems between the four countries.

    "Yes, it's an alliance!" Cai'er emphasized again, "Cousin, you all come from the same origin, and the country relies on the rule of the Han people. In essence, there is almost no big difference between the four empires, so  It is natural to form a close alliance, and after the alliance is formed, some conflicts can be resolved through negotiations within the alliance, and the remaining few more acute conflicts, even if they cannot be completely resolved, can at least be alleviated!"

    Hearing that Cai'er had a clear understanding of the alliance, Li Min finally felt relieved.  Then Cai'er said again: "After the alliance is formed, the second step can be carried out. The countries in the alliance still maintain their independence in name, and the throne remains unchanged. This will not cause any backlash from some people.  . But after the alliance, Sixth Brother, you can use the name of the alliance, coupled with the cooperation of the eldest cousin and the others, to strengthen the unity of the four empires in all aspects and prepare for the final step of the merger!"

    At this point, Cai'er paused for a moment, then continued: "After several or even more than ten years of alliance development, I guess with your ability, cousin, the pace among the four empires will be basically the same by then, and all countries will also be at the same pace.  Having recognized the capabilities of the alliance, now cousin, you join forces with the eldest cousin and the others, and the five of them jointly issue a statement to merge the four countries, and presumably the resistance will be much smaller at this time!"

    After listening to Cai'er's words, Li Min also thought for a moment and considered the idea she proposed. It has to be said that Cai'er's idea is indeed more feasible than his previous idea. The most important thing is the alliance in the middle.  The transition is equivalent to giving the four merging countries a long buffer period. It not only gives each country a time to adapt, but also gives them more time to prepare.

    But then Li Min thought of another question. He looked up at Cai'er who was smiling and said, "Cai'er, your plan is indeed very good, but why do I feel like something is missing?"

    "What's missing, why didn't I know?" Cai'er deliberately opened her eyes wide and looked very innocent.

    Seeing that Cai'er, now a mother, still pretended to be stupid in front of him like she did before, Li Min couldn't help but feel angry and funny. He pointed at her and said helplessly: "You little slippery man, according to your method,  Finally, Third Brother, Ninth Brother and I jointly issued a merger statement, so who should be the emperor after the merger?"

    Hearing Li Min point out his selfishness, Cai'er smiled cheekily and said: "Of course you are the only one to be the emperor of the empire. After all, no one can match my cousin in terms of talents, whether it is my eldest cousin or Jiulang."  Compared with you. But I don¡¯t agree with taking away the throne from my eldest cousin. After all, they have been emperors for so many years. If they lose the throne all of a sudden, they will inevitably feel disappointed, and those who are loyal to them will inevitably feel sad.  Ji Di, cousin, it won¡¯t be easy for you to command them in the future.¡±

    Cai'er said this and glanced at Li Min secretly. When she found that there was no angry expression on his face, she continued: "So I think that after the merger, we can make a special trip to save the eldest cousin and Jiulang."  The throne is nominally the same as your cousin¡¯s status.They are different, but the real power is controlled by your cousin. However, after their death, the entire empire can only allow one emperor to exist!  "(To be continued)
