Chapter 1228 Gratitude of Empress Changsun
"In Su Cheng's eyes, I am just a donkey that can be pulled!" Li Shimin's face was a little dark and he said angrily.
Not only was it just a donkey, but it was a dog that jumped. Queen Changsun stopped laughing and comforted: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Su Cheng is also trying to relieve Qingque. These words are not from Su Cheng's original intention. He has made good intentions, and these words may be able to persuade Qingque to stay."
Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. Not only could he persuade Qingque, but even the emperor, he instantly felt that being an emperor was not good.
"Let's go, what else did Su Cheng say?" Li Shimin asked.
Liu Yan felt completely relieved. The emperor was not even angry, so he should not be angry next. Fortunately, his life was saved.
Liu Yan quickly continued to say it. Li Shimin was not so heartbroken after hearing the following words. He was not surprised at the idea that Su Cheng wanted to take his wife and concubine to travel around, because he had heard of it many times.
Although Su Cheng was very powerful, he was not interested in power at all, and he had known this for a long time.
But after hearing this, Li Shimin was a little dissatisfied. Will Su Cheng's reputation be even greater than that of him in a few hundred years?
Isn't this a big deal?
He is a wise ruler of his generation, how could he be so famous that he could not compare to Su Cheng?
Li Shimin turned around and asked, "The Queen thinks that in a few hundred years, who will be more famous between me and Su Cheng?"
Empress Changsun blinked her eyes and smiled, "Your Majesty is a wise ruler who swept the world, trembled the four barbarians, and expanded the territory. She will definitely be a highly respected wise ruler in later generations. Su Cheng is of course also a highly praised wise minister and general, and a generation of poetic immortals. She also found corn, Zhenguan rice, invented muskets and cannons... A thousand years later, Su Cheng will also be famous all over the world, so of course His Majesty and Su Cheng are the same, both famous all over the world, and are praised and respected by the world."
Although the queen said it nicely, even Li Shimin himself felt that he was not as good as Su Cheng. Thousands of years later, he was probably not as famous as Su Cheng.
Not talking about this, not talking about this anymore, it was so heartbreaking. The queen smiled so pursed her lips and guessed that the queen was comforting him to say this.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Liu Yan, please continue."
"Then, the King of Wei said that not everyone has the literary talent of Duke Rong..." Liu Yan continued to recall.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun nodded after hearing this. This was the truth. Although Li Tai was also literary, he was really not a little worse than Su Cheng.
"Then Duke Rong said that he had an idea that King Wei could ask for advice and be remembered forever. It would take a lot of manpower and material resources to complete this matter, and it would take a long time." Liu Yan continued.
Li Shimin was immediately enlightened after hearing this. Su Cheng actually made Li Tai famous for his eternity?
What kind of idea is this?
If someone else said this, Li Shimin would definitely sneer at it. It would be so easy to keep it in the ages. How many people may not be able to keep it in the ages in their pursuit.
If anyone has such an idea, why not do it yourself?
But this was from Su Cheng's mouth, and Li Shimin couldn't help but feel very expectant and curious.
Queen Changsun was also very expectant and curious, and asked, "What's the idea?"
Liu Yan hurriedly said: "It is said that it is a great success in literature. Since the book, all the books of classics, history, and literature have been collected from hundreds of schools. As for astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medicine, divination, monks and Taoism, and skills, they have been compiled into a book... Many talents need to participate, and collect the whole country's efforts to collect books, which requires a lot of manpower and takes a long time to do it. However, once it is done, it will be a grand event in the literary world..."
Before Liu Yan could finish speaking, Li Shimin was already applauding.
"It's amazing! It's amazing! It's amazing!" Li Shimin's face turned red with excitement.
Li Shimin was full of confidence in the great martial arts of the Tang Dynasty and felt that only Emperor Wu of Han could compare with him. Emperor Wu of Han made a powerful military force in order to expedition to the Huns and made the people in the country live in poverty. He not only destroyed the Eastern Turks but also annexed Goguryeo, but the country was still rich and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
However, Li Shimin has always felt a little regretful about the civil administration. Although there is a figure like Su Cheng, a poetic figure, all this glory belongs to Su Cheng himself.
Now Su Cheng’s idea is simply amazing. Once completed, it will definitely be a literary event that has been famous in history!
Even Li Shimin had thought of his name and it was called "Zhenguan Encyclopedia"!
The only thing that made Li Shimin regret was that Su Cheng did not come up with this idea earlier, but told Li Tai, which made him feel entangled.
If Li Tai is just a vassal, then he, the emperor, will participate less.
But if Li Tai stays in Chang'an, it will start another dispute over the reserve position.
Oh, it's so tangled!
Queen Changsun was not confused, but was very surprised. The idea proposed by Su Cheng was indeed extraordinary. After Li Tai finished Su Cheng's idea, he would definitely be famous in history!
It has always been revealed that Li Tai has shown extraordinary literary talent. Although it is not as good as Su Cheng, it is also highly praised by the government and the public. Li Tai really likes to talk about poetry and essays.
Most importantly, however, this will definitely attract Li Tai and make Li Tai interested in doing it, so that Li Tai will not fight for the throne, nor will he rebel, and after Li Tai is done, he will be famous in history. What a great thing!
It was equivalent to solving her worries in an instant and giving her a big surprise.
"Great! Great! This is equivalent to giving Qingque a way out. Qingque has always loved talking about poetry and essays, so he will be very interested and caring about this matter, so that Qingque will no longer compete for the sacrificial stock, nor will he go to extremes. Moreover, Qingque will be famous in history after it is made. This is a killing of two birds with one stone!" Empress Changsun said happily.
No matter what, he is always his own son. Li Shimin nodded and said, "It is indeed a killing of two birds with one stone. It is a good thing for Qingque and a good thing for the court!"
In addition to being surprised, Empress Changsun was also full of gratitude to Su Cheng and said with emotion: "Su Cheng actually told Qingque so generously that this good idea that can be famous in history is just for Qingque to live a good life in the future. Speaking of which, we really owe Su Cheng a lot!"
Li Shimin couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, thanks to him this time!"
Although this matter takes a lot of manpower, time, and great fame to complete, it is not a problem for Su Cheng.
Chapter completed!
