In the third year of Zhenguan, Li Chengqian entered the East Palace as a time-travelling person. He faced the court officials who were watching, father and son with hidden estrangements, a complicated family, and a Tang Dynasty that was in urgent need of stability.
He does not fight for the benefits of words or the credit of famous ministers, but only relies on the word "hard work" to establish his heart - planting bean sprouts in winter to relieve the poverty of the refugees, clearing the fields and settling the farmers' hearts, and using the trivial matters of the pottery jars and greenhouses to realize Cheng Zhijie and Yu Zhining's sincerity; He did not go against the authority of his father, did not abandon the brotherhood, and focused on "stabilizing the situation" - he helped Li Tai build a literary museum, and consolidated state affairs for Li Zhi. He used his sense of proportion to push forward the merits and responsibilities, to resolve Li Shimin's suspicion of checks and balances, and to dissolve the estrangement between Li Yuan in his later years.
From the agricultural reform pilot in Wannian County, Jingzhao, to the system reform of supporting education in Guanzhong and clearing one's name in the imperial examination; from the settlement of Turks in military camps, to the decisive battle of Qiuci to expand territory and show their power; from the Qing aristocratic family hiding their fields and cutting off their foundation, to the acquisition of Persia into the territory and becoming a prosperous age - he has always He only controls the "direction" and does not involve in the "practical operations": the mulberry fields are worn and bowed, the military is coordinated by Li Jing, and the people's livelihood is taken care of by Fang Xuanling. I only want to be the "leisure prince" who squats on the farm to teach the peasant women to grow cotton, decides the direction of the policy at court meetings, and protects his brothers at the palace banquet.
When envoys from all over the world knelt down to worship Chang'an, when cotton cloth spread all over Guanzhong and grain and millet filled the warehouses, and when Li Shimin patted his shoulder and said, "I can rest assured that the Tang Dynasty will entrust you," Li Chengqian realized that the so-called leisurely life never meant lying down and having fun, but based on the hearts of the people, the system as the backbone, and family affection as the warmth.
