Tang Jian is a hero who is a good-for-nothing hero.

His father Tang Jian was in love with Emperor Gaozu of Tang Li Yuan. When Li Yuan raised an army in Taiyuan, Tang Jian participated in the plan. In the second year of Wude, Tang Jian and King Li Xiaoji of Yong'an were captured by Liu Wuzhou. In prison, he learned from Yuan Junshi that Dugu Huai'en was going to rebel. Dugu Huai'en was stationed in Puzhou at that time, Tang Jian sent someone to expose Dugu Huai'en's rebellion. After Li Shimin defeated Liu Wuzhou, Tang Jian was appointed as the Minister of Rites, appointed as the Chief Secretary of the General of Tiance, and was granted the title of Duke of Ju, and was specially granted the death penalty once.

From the above resume, we can see that Tang Jian was not only a hero from Long, but also had a very keen eye when choosing a sideline to take the team. He tied himself to Li Shimin's chariot early. In the early Tang Dynasty, he was a good general and wise minister, and the father and son of Li never stingy in rewarding ministers in the court, but only Tang Jian won the honor of "a special gift to avoid death penalty once", which shows how great his honor and favor he was.

Tang Jian is a low-key person, not showing off his mountains and not showing off. When talking about famous officials of the early Tang Dynasty, many people would think of "Fang Mou Duan", Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others, few people would think of what Tang Jian had done, but his status did not need to be low. He never participated in the factional struggles in the court, and was considered a neutral faction, but no one dared to look down on him, because he was already balanced.

No one wants to offend him, but let him join another faction. Tang Jian also knew in his heart, so he often pretended to be confused. If he could not express his opinion, he would not pay much attention to the things he was in charge of. He drank and wrote poems all day long, unless it was a task assigned by Li Shimin himself, he would leave the rest to his deputy. Therefore, there were often censors who were neglecting political affairs, and he didn't care, and he still did his own thing.

After this mission to the Turks, Li Shimin changed his title to the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He changed from the Minister of Rites to the Minister of Civil Affairs. Although his official rank was the same, one was decoration and the other was real power. The officials in the court knew that this was a promotion. But Tang Jian was not happy because after he became the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he had more things to do. Moreover, the people's livelihood situation in the early Tang Dynasty was not optimistic. Either the disaster was caused here or there, there was a water supply. Every day, there were posts to ask for disaster relief. He needed to check these things himself. Tang Jian, who had been used to laziness, suddenly became busy and very uncomfortable. In addition, he was over fifty years old and was unable to rush, so he couldn't do anything to the heart. He was too lazy to watch singing and dancing, and it was okay to have a banquet. He basically rested when he returned home from the official office every day, and even he didn't pass on one concubine.

Life changes a few months ago.

That day, he was in charge of the government office. Suddenly his family came to report that an old friend came to the door. After asking carefully, he realized that Li Mu had sent his mother over. Tang Jian hurried home and saw Wang Hu who was escorting him. After learning about the cause, Tang Jian cleaned up a courtyard in the Duke's Mansion and settled Sun down.

A few days later, Tang Jian returned home from the official office. His family told him that Sun took advantage of the maid who was serving him not paying attention and hanged his gang to death. Fortunately, the maid came back in time and was rescued. Tang Jian was shocked. Although he was negligent in political affairs, he attached great importance to his personal loyalty. Although he was in a desperate manner in the Turkic camp that day, since he agreed to Li Mu's "Your mother, I will raise him." Li Mu's return to defend the city was also a move of loyalty. Life and death were uncertain at this time. If he came to find his mother in the future, would he tell him that your mother had not taken good care of me and had committed suicide by hanging herself?

Tang Jian hurried to the backyard where Sun's temporary residence was for a while and comforted him. Sun said that his son had no news for so long, most of the time he was dead. She was alone in this world. What's the point of living? It's better to die. In order to persuade Sun, Tang Jian took himself as an example. It turned out that Tang Jian's wife passed away more than ten years ago. The two had a deep relationship. The death of his wife had a great blow to Tang Jian. She has been neglecting political affairs over the years because she lost her mind and sang and danced, just to divert her attention and not miss her.

When Sun saw Tang Jian talking about his emotions, his eyes were filled with tears. He was moved by his deep feelings and also told the past between her and Li Mu's father Li Gan. The two of them just talked about it one by one, and before they knew it, it was dawn.

After the night of conversation, Sun's voice and appearance were engraved in Tang Jian's mind. He dreamed of him in his dream, and when he woke up and thought about her, he couldn't concentrate on handling government affairs. He looked forward to returning from the official office early every day to find an excuse to chat with Sun. Over time, the servants in Tang Jian's mansion saw the clues. The prince was afraid that he was concerned about the original Sun family lady, and he was more respectful when he treated Sun. However, Tang Jian and Sun, who were among them, had no idea about this. The window paper had not been broken, and their relationship stopped chatting every day and comforting each other.

Until yesterday, a letter was sent from Duke Cao's mansion. Li Mu had already arrived in Chang'an and would pick up his mother to reunite tomorrow. Hearing this letter and thinking about the separation, Tang Jian realized his feelings, and suddenly, his feelings became complicated.

He was fifty-one years old, and Sun had already asked, the New Year was only thirty-six. Although it was not a problem to marry a concubine of an age with his status. But when facing Sun, he did not dare to say the word "concubine" because in his opinion, this was a blasphemy against Sun.

But if you want to marry a formal match, it is difficult to do it. In the Tang Dynasty, marriage is relatively free. Not to mention that your husband is dead and married again, no one will say anything even if you remarry after divorce. But Tang Jian is the king of the country and a powerful man of several generations. It is somewhat unreasonable to marry a folk woman or a second marriage. Tang Jian was worried, but he still told Sun the news that Li Mu came to Chang'an truthfully.

Sun also realized his feelings for Tang Jian. Thinking of the separation, the sadness in his heart was like when he heard the news that Li Mu's father Li Gan died in battle more than ten years ago. However, facing the choice, Sun still resolutely chose his son. Therefore, when Li Mu came to the door, Sun had already packed up all the burdens. She had already planned to give up this feeling, leave with her son, and leave the Duke of Ju's mansion.

For Li Mu, he would never have thought that my mother would have a relationship with Tang Jian. He was not the kind of person who was unrestrained and had a hostile attitude towards his mother, but in his thoughts, the two of them were so different. In the words of later generations, Tang Jian could be Sun's father even if he was a little older. He would not even think about that aspect of his age difference.

So, he thanked him, sent a gift, and then politely declined Tang Jian's banquet, and he wanted to take Sun to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Tang Jian was sent to the door. Sun boarded the carriage. Listening to Li Mu greetings and saying goodbye to Tang Jian, he couldn't help but lift the curtain and glanced out.

Tang Jian also looked over, and the two looked at each other, and their hearts were all jumping. Sun quickly put down the curtain, and Tang Jian reluctantly withdrew his gaze and said to Li Mu: "Take good care of your mother."

After Li Muying, he added in his heart: I don’t know if there is any chance to meet again.
