Since ancient times, people have said that it was a period of prosperity and a certain rule. There are only two situations: one is great economic prosperity and the other is unprecedented military prosperity. However, the great economic prosperity will often be replaced by military prosperity, because economic prosperity does not represent the strength of the country. For example, in the Northern Song Dynasty, no one said that the Northern Song Dynasty had a certain prosperity and a certain rule. However, the Northern Song Dynasty was indeed the richest period in Chinese history, but it was accompanied by endless humiliation.

Therefore, all those who can be called a prosperous era or a prosperous era are times when civil and military achievements are pushed to the peak or small high, such as the Wenjing Dynasty, the Han Wu prosperous era, the Kaihuang Dynasty, the Zhenguan Dynasty, the Kaiyuan Dynasty, etc., the few extremely prosperous eras in Chinese history are not only economic prosperity and political clarity, but also military prosperity. The Central Plains dynasty can hold the Hu people to the ground and abuse them hard, which is worthy of being called a prosperous era.

After Li Chengqian ascended the throne, Suning did not notice any obvious changes in him from the past. He was not excited or happy to be unable to sleep. From the first day of becoming an emperor, he insisted on getting up at Chen and falling asleep at Hai, ensuring that he would have four hours of sleep. He also practiced a set of boxing or danced a sword technique in the morning, took a half hour nap in the afternoon, and drank a glass of milk every day. The imperial meal was very simple, and all dishes were required by Li Chengqian.

One portion of meat, one portion of vegetables, one portion of soup, one portion of rice, that's all. He ordered everyone in the inner palace to have such a standard food. Unless there are major happy events and festivals, he personally allows it, he will never allow the luxury of big fish and meat, especially for children, and his own children. The diet of the Crown Prince Li Xiang and the Second Prince Li Jue is also strictly controlled. Unless it is on holidays or birthdays, the fried food that Li Xiang and Li Jue like the most is never allowed. They must eat enough vegetables and fruits every day, and the meal is fixed, and no more is allowed. They are not allowed to leave a grain of rice.

During the meal, Li Chengqian would try to squeeze out time to eat with his children. He and Su took their two sons to eat together, sitting at the same table, trying to do this every day for lunch and dinner. Unless the state affairs are too busy, he has no time to eat, he will definitely eat with the children.

He strictly monitored the child's schoolwork. He chose teachers who had educated him, such as Kong Yingda, such as Ma Zhou, Yu Shinan and other well-educated people, but he would also instruct Suning to take his two sons to play in the Imperial Garden from time to time. He said that Suning is the most playful, so it is most suitable to take his children to play with. Children cannot always learn and need to relax. This is the experience he learned from Suning's experience in educating children. I think this is very effective.

Suning is helpless about this...

Li Xiang and Li Jue didn't learn a lot because they were still young. They are still in the stage of reading and reading, but Li Chengqian would take the courses of Li Xiang and Li Jue as long as they had time. Sometimes Li Xiang and Li Jue forgot to read the book because of their playfulness. After Li Chengqian checked it out, Li Chengqian would scold them and would not allow them to play with Suning tomorrow. So invisibly, playing with Suning became what they most looked forward to.

Li Chengqian seemed to be strict about managing the family. He seemed to have gained some enlightenment from his mother or something. He was very strict with managing the family. In addition to establishing the queen, he also made his two concubines, Wang and Zhang, the concubine Li and Duan. At present, he only had these three women. It seems that he did not intend to accept other concubines in a short period of time. He asked Wang and Zhang not to disobey the queen. He knew that Su was generous and gentle and easy to be bullied, so he made a clear attitude. Whoever dared to disobey the queen would be deposed. This is the family law. I can't say the same thing in the Tang Dynasty, but in this family, I am the god.

Somehow, Li Chengqian seemed to have had all the problems in the family when His Majesty Li Er was emperor, which was particularly important for his own family management. Especially after His Majesty Li Er abdicated, some of the princesses who had married off to bully their husbands' family with their power, which made Li Chengqian feel even more shocked and angry. The princess of the Tang Dynasty could only marry meritorious ministers. This was the dynasty's pension for meritorious officials, but he did not expect that there would be a willful princess bullying her husband and posing for her parents-in-law to see her, which was simply a loss of royal face.

Li Chengqian was furious and immediately recruited all his sisters and his father's daughters into the palace, scolding the princesses with bad records one by one. It is said that they directly told the five or six princesses to cry that day, and the other princesses were so scared that they did not dare to speak out. After returning home, they became much more honest, which made many heroes very grateful to Li Chengqian. The matter was spread to the palaces of His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun in Sanyuan County. His Majesty Li Er smiled and said that Li Chengqian had learned how to manage the family and didn't have to worry about other problems.

After His Majesty Li Er left, he took away all his concubines and the palace ladies who were willing to follow him, and stayed in the palace in Sanyuan County to support him. Those were the elderly in the palace and those who had served His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun for more than 10 or 20 years. So as soon as these people left, the palace suddenly became much more space. Some ministers suggested that Li Chengqian start the selection of concubines as soon as possible. Li Chengqian said that he had just ascended the throne and was the time to govern the country. The people were still not full and warm. How dare I think about lust and desire?

This has attracted a lot of praise again.

Suning gradually felt that Li Chengqian wanted to complete the oaths he made when he was the prince. It seemed that he always thought that his father was a master in governing the country, but in managing the family, his father was a very undecided person. The Li family raised the children as a wolf. This was what His Majesty Li Er said to Li Chengqian in person, but Li Chengqian did not agree with this idea. Li Chengqian believed that raising an elephant was also OK, so why did he have to raise a wolf?

So in private gatherings, during the small cocktail party between Li Chengqian and Suning alone, Li Chengqian always believed that his father's strategy of governing the family was wrong, so he wanted to change it, but his father was wise in governing the country, so he had to learn and make no major changes to the strategies left by his father, but had to make minor repairs.

When dealing with the entire Liaodong Dao, he advocated the main focus and the suppression as a supplement. Those people may not necessarily want to rebel from the Tang Dynasty. Perhaps their original intention was just because they had no food or had no way to live. They needed to eat and had a way to live, so they chose to rebel. Even if they were foreigners, they were also humans. These rebels should kill and kill those who should be transformed, and those who should be transformed will go to reform, but we cannot force all foreigners to rebel.

Some of them already hold their Tang Dynasty ID cards and are people of the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang army treats them very rudely. The Tang Dynasty officials did not pay attention to pensions on these aliens, but only focused on protecting the rights and interests of the Han people. This caused constant resistance from foreigners in the newly occupied areas. He believed that aliens must be given the same treatment as Han people in some aspects, and they cannot let go only in terms of core rights and interests. It must be several generations later that they have been completely assimilated by the Han people before they can let go.

For the Western Regions and the former Tubo area, he also advocated the use of comfort as the main and suppression as the auxiliary. Those places were already bitter and cold. It is normal for people to survive, but some officials only care about the interests of the Han people. They do not care about the interests of the aliens. They are also humans and need to survive. They also have the ID card of the Tang Dynasty. When the Tang Dynasty persuaded them to surrender, they promised to give them the same treatment, but now the Tang Dynasty has not kept its promise. This is a great breach of trust.

In short, Li Chengqian hopes to bring people a change, bringing people who are originally influenced by combat ideas back to normal life tracks, rather than always being in the war era, and hearing aliens rebellious, they shout to transform labor or kill them all. That is an unhealthy and healthy country, where they can fight, live, be peaceful, and not be afraid of aggression, rather than just fighting and fighting again.

Since the four years of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty has fought enough. You can rest and rest, let the army be fat, and the combat power is accumulated more, so that energy can be fully nourished. When it is time to fight, you can work hard to eliminate the enemy.

At the same time, Li Chengqian was also trying to solve the problems of the government soldiers and the standing army that His Majesty Li Er emphasized before abdicating. The standing army played an increasingly important role in the war. Even when many battles occurred, the standing army had not had time to recruit the troops. The standing army had already put down the rebellion. Some of the military government soldiers had not fought for several years. Because the wars that occurred in the Tang Dynasty were getting farther and farther away from the local area, exceeding the maximum distance that the government soldiers could bear, the standing army must be used.

As for the local rebellion, the Tang Dynasty also had the guards of the standing guards. The soldiers of the government did not have time to gather to fight. The state governor and the county magistrate had mobilized the standing guards to quell the rebellion. The soldiers seemed to have lost their place of use, which made many soldiers feel dissatisfied. The reason they were the government soldiers was because they hoped to make military achievements during the farming gap, but the emergence of the standing guards has made them lose their place of use.

They were very dissatisfied and protested many times. His Majesty Li Er had never thought of any way to solve it. In addition, he was preparing to abdicate, so he simply did not solve it, leaving Li Chengqian with a headache. Li Chengqian was naturally very troubled. He asked Suning to discuss it secretly. Suning told him a final solution - abolishing the government system and fully implementing the standing army system, so that the Tang Dynasty could raise a standing army that belonged to the country, and professional soldiers who ate imperial grain and received military pay, were specifically responsible for fighting and defending the country.

The source of standing troops can be residing in a short period of time, but in the long run, when the population is sufficient, Suning put forward a bold idea - the compulsory military service system. Every 18-year-old adult man in the Tang Dynasty has the obligation to join the army. The time limit is three years. From the age of eighteen to twenty, he can choose to leave the military camp or continue to develop in the army or continue to develop in the army to become a standing army. In other words, he is a conscript from the age of eighteen to twenty. After the age of twenty, he can independently choose to become a standing army, become a professional soldier, or leave the army and go home to continue studying, or engage in other professions.

No matter who you are an adult man, even a college student is no exception. You must take three years to train in the army before you can re-enter society. Suning gave the reason that he learned the responsibility of a man through his military career. After entering society, he would be a man, not a cartilage. Even civil servants should have blood, backbone, dare to fight against unfair things, and dare to plead for the people.

Li Chengqian was shocked by this bold idea. After a little calculation, he knew that the current population base of the Tang Dynasty could not be achieved. Suning also knew that the backward productivity made it impossible to implement the compulsory military service system in ancient times. Therefore, Suning only gave a suggestion and a rough timetable for Li Chengqian to think about it and decide it himself.

The implementation of the compulsory military service system is unrealistic for the Tang Dynasty at present. The backwardness of productivity has caused a large number of young and strong laborers to go to the battlefield, and the population base is not large. It is not known whether there are so many suitable men. It is very irresponsible to force such a policy that affects the whole body when everyone is not prepared. It is a very irresponsible action and will also cause serious problems.

Li Chengqian felt that this could not be done for the time being, but abolishing the government military system seemed to be a way to solve the current problems. After abolishing the government military system, arranging those government military soldiers to become professional soldiers or simply farming may also be a method. As for compulsory military service, every adult man has to join the army. This idea is too illusory. Li Chengqian feels that he should not be able to see it in his lifetime.
