Great Tang Southern Emperor

For a moment, the air in the Golden Luan Hall dropped to freezing point, and only Li Shimin's murderous voice filled the hall. Under the oppression of his voice, the rest of the people felt two wars, crumbling, and they couldn't even stand firmly, let alone have the courage to speak ?Especially those who were named by Li Shimin, they had ghosts in their hearts, and now they were oppressed by Li Shimin's aura, and they were sweating profusely. Many people even followed in Li Zhengdao's footsteps and passed out.

Even if they didn't faint, they couldn't support their bodies any longer, and they collapsed on the floor of the Golden Luan Hall, and some were scared to the point of feces and urine. There was no saying in the Tang Dynasty not to kill the ministers. They were criticized by Li Shimin in public. Being famous, and even revealing his own scandal, this shows that Li Shimin's murderous intentions are already extremely strong. They are doomed this time, and they may even bring their family members into trouble...

Ignoring these wastes, Li Shimin turned his attention to Cui Luan again: "Do you really think I'm an idiot? You haven't even been to Nanyang, so how do you know what's going on there? After all, didn't the Nanyang countries let you talk about it? As for How about Nanyang? Luo Aiqing, what happened to the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Si Nongqing Luo Tuzhi immediately stood up, admiringly said: "I have reported to the emperor, the result has already been obtained. Everything His Royal Highness Yue said is true. Although the land of Nanyang Town is full of smog, the land is very fertile, because The time is too short, we just investigated the situation in the northern part of Linyi, and found that the climate there is mild, the seasons are always spring, the land is fertile, and more importantly, the rice there is grown three times a year, and the yield is abnormally high. According to Chen It is estimated that if the situation in the whole Nanyang is the same, as long as half of Nanyang is developed, it will be enough to supply the daily consumption of the entire Datang. And you will never have to worry about famines.”

Chapter 236 Tianwei is like a prison, there is no pardon for the offender

After a pause, Luo Tutu continued: "Nanyang is rich in products, you can't imagine it at all. It is said that some Nanyang people don't grow crops at all, and they can't starve to death just by eating the food in the jungle all year round. And this It is also the root cause of the laziness of Nanyang people-there is too much food to eat, so who will work hard?

However, because of this, Nanyang has not been developed very effectively, giving people the impression that Nanyang is a place full of poisonous insects.In fact, in the miasma, in the valley of poisonous insects, under the thick fallen leaves, there is all fertile land.It's just that the Nanyang people don't know how to develop and develop, so that the pearl is left in the dust, guarding the huge treasure but not knowing how to use it, it is really sad and deplorable.

Now that this treasure land is in the hands of Datang, after ten years of development by Datang, I believe that the whole of Nanyang will become the largest granary in Datang, and Datang will no longer have to worry about lack of food. "

"Have you all heard?" Li Shimin looked at the man lying on the ground with murderous eyes: "Just now Li Aiqing said that the people of Linyi are arrogant and ignorant of etiquette, killing can't solve the problem, only the benevolence of my Tang Dynasty can completely influence them ?

I don't agree with this point of view.

Could it be that because they are barbaric, they can beat us at will, and because we are civilized people, we cannot fight back, but can only influence them with benevolence, righteousness and morality?What kind of reasoning is this?If this is the case, then what is the use of this civilization?

Since you want to pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality, the Turks more than ten years ago were also barbarians in our mouth, and the Huns hundreds of years ago were also barbarians in our mouth, so why should we beat them? Isn’t it good to justify them directly?

As the saying goes: Poor people must have something to hate.

Fang Yiai massacred a Rili City, and you start to pity Linyi, but who will pity the people of Huanzhou, Tangzhou and Luofuzhou who were slaughtered by Linyi Baitou?Who will pity them?By Lin Yi?Still gray?ah?Who can tell me the answer? "

Li Shimin's voice became more solemn and serious. The murderous aura trained in Wanjun before his succession and the kingly aura cultivated in the ten years of his succession perfectly combined, forming an unparalleled domineering aura.Under such imposing pressure, even Fang Du and his like felt the pressure was heavy, almost out of breath, and the rest of the people were even more unbearable. fainted.

Only veterans like Cheng Yaojin could barely support them under such momentum, but they also felt that it was difficult to breathe, and their temples were sweating—they finally saw what it means to be as powerful as a prison, and there is no forgiveness for the offenders.

"..." After losing my temper for a while, I managed to express the anger in my heart. I stared around the circle with tiger eyes and saw that all the officials below were trembling. I couldn't help feeling a little relieved. With the ugly faces of these people just now, the anger in the bottom of my heart could not help rising again: "Why didn't you talk? Aren't you all quite eloquent just now? When you say you want to beat Lin Yi, you all stand up Come out to object, talk about Zhen'er, everyone is like a chicken blood, I'm afraid that I will give Zhen'er a little bit of benefits-what are your intentions, do you really think I don't know? Now Why don't you talk anymore? Huh?"

Cheng Yaojin saw that Li Shimin's mood was a little better, so he stood up and comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't get angry, it's not worth getting angry with these bastards who pretend to be ignorant, if you get angry, it's bad luck Well, let's talk business."

"Zhijie's words are reasonable, but for the Nanyang matter, everyone has to discuss a regulation." Li Shimin took a few deep breaths, suppressed his anger, took out a memorial, threw it to Cheng Yaojin, and said in a deep voice: "Zhen Er'er's judgment is correct. Linyi and the white-headed offenders are really not that simple. This is the information given to me by the Green Riders this morning. What is recorded in it is their plan."

"This... how courageous!" Cheng Yaojin roared after quickly browsing through the memorial: "It is really courageous and scheming to use my Tang Dynasty as a sword to open up territories for them... Well, how courageous, Your Majesty, I, Lao Cheng, invite you to fight and lead an army of [-] to assist His Highness the King of Yue in sweeping Nanyang."

Li Shimin comforted: "Don't worry about knowing the festival, wait until all the Qing family have read it."

Soon, the memorial was passed on among several ministers.

After several people looked at each other, they had an idea in their hearts. Fang Xuanling stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Lao Cheng's words are not wrong. If the opponent is only Lin Yi, the youth army is fine, but if you add another For Zhenla, I'm afraid it will be... a bit difficult...

It is said that the new king of Chenla only annexed his suzerain, Funan, two years ago, and now he is full of vigor and power. The [-] young army alone may be able to defeat the Chenla army, but he wants to wipe out or even occupy Zhenla. La, but it is a little difficult.

What's more, His Royal Highness King Yue swept Linyi all the way with [-] people. Although Linyi was wiped out, he was probably exhausted. If he wanted to attack again, he probably needed to make some adjustments.

And this period of time is the most critical time-after all, the king of Yue disrupted Zhenla's plan, and the fighting power of the young army may have frightened the king of Chenla. The king of Chenla may have guessed that we already knew his plan .In order to save their lives, it is very likely that they will strike first...

If Chenla launches a sudden attack at this time, if the young army with poor men and horses rashly meets the well-prepared Chenla army, even if they can win, they will suffer heavy losses..."

Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "But didn't Hou Junji lead an army of [-] to support Zhen'er? With him here, even if Zhenla came, I'm afraid it would be bloody."

He is a person with a lot of desire for power. In the first 20 years, with Li Shimin on top of him, he honestly pretended to be a grandson and dared not make any changes.

But as soon as Li Shimin passed away and Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, he showed his fangs—because he strongly supported Li Zhi in the battle for the establishment of the crown prince, so after Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, he was appointed Minister Gu Ming.First, in the name of Minister Gu Ming, he assisted Li Zhi to control the government, and then eliminated dissidents (forcing Li Ke brothers to death, etc.), and finally monopolized the power, and the power poured over the world.If he hadn't met the nemesis Wu Zetian, he might have been prime minister for the rest of his life.

It is precisely because of the desire for power that even though Li Zhen's becoming the prince is a certainty, he is still unwilling to give up - because he knows very well that although his relationship with Li Zhen is not an enemy, it is not a good one. If Li Zhen really became the prince, or even the emperor, then at most he would just maintain his current status, but it was basically impossible to go further.

Chapter 464 Zhangsun Wuji's Ambition

Chapter 237 The Grandson Wuji's Ambition

He has endured it for 20 years, how many 20 years can he have in his life?He is almost 50 years old this year, how can he wait another 20 years?

But Changsun Wuji is a smart man. He knows that Li Zhen is at the peak of power in the imperial court now, with the support of hundreds of officials inside, the support of the army outside, and the favor of Li Shimin. more stable...

Under the current circumstances, if you want to bring down Li Zhen, it's useless to blindly magnify the move. Using the big move will only lead to the most violent counterattack from Li Zhen and Li Shimin, and the gain outweighs the loss.At this time, the best way is to boil the frog in warm water and simmer it slowly. To deal with Li Zhen, you need to pry it slowly with patience, shake his foundation bit by bit, and finally overthrow him in one fell swoop-this is the best policy.

Hearing this, Li Ji retorted: "Master Sikong's words are wrong. Linyi is such a large area, and it is a new land that has just been conquered by the King of Yue. It urgently needs a stable army. This is the most important role of Hou Junji's army. One hundred thousand troops He also needs to garrison the place and capture slaves, and a hundred thousand troops may not be enough, so how can he have spare energy to help the King of Yue?"

"That's right." Changsun Wuji lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said slowly: "But this is an army of [-] after all, and the commander must not only have enough prestige, but also be absolutely loyal to Tang, otherwise I'm afraid I will play the old story of Master Qiao again."

Qiao Shiwang is the Chief Protector of the Western Tibet Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty. Some time ago, the Tang Dynasty was under siege from all sides. The already dangerous situation has added fuel to the flames, and now he has been ordered by Li Shimin to take him to Chang'an, and is being held in Dali Temple for trial.

"This is indeed a troublesome matter, but it's not a big problem." Li Jing thought for a while and said: "There are not many other people in the court, and there are not many generals in command, right? If it doesn't work, let the old man go here It's all over once."

"The situation in northern Xinjiang is still unstable, and medicine masters need to suppress it." Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "Mr. Mao also needs to watch over the Western Regions, so you two must not move. As for Zhijie, Jingde and Shubao, They are only good at charging on the battlefield, but they don’t have the ability to lead an army alone.”

"The auxiliary machine thinks who should be sent?" Li Shimin's eyes narrowed immediately. The two have been partners for decades. Changsun Wuji knows Li Shimin, but why doesn't Li Shimin know Changsun Wuji?

He knew Changsun Wuji's desire for power too well, and he also knew that if Li Zhen succeeded to the throne, others might be reused, but only Changsun Wuji could not.It wasn't because he was the elder brother of Empress Changsun, and the uncle of the three brothers Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Zhi, that Li Zhen felt jealous of him.It's because, like Li Shimin, Li Zhen also knows Changsun Wuji very well, and also knows how much Changsun Wuji's desire for power is. In order to maintain her own rights, she can even frame innocent people-for such people, Li Zhen has always Thank you for your insensitivity.

What a shrewd person is Changsun Wuji?Seeing this, why didn't he understand that Li Shimin had seen through his little Jiujiu?With a twitch in his heart, he quickly dispelled his thoughts, and immediately changed his words: "I think Xue Wanche, Duke of Wu'an County, can take up this great role as the general of the right Wuwei."

Changsun Wuji felt very uncomfortable when he recommended Xue Wanche, as disgusting as eating a dead fly, because the relationship between him and Xue Wanche was not good (Historically, Xue Wanche died at the hands of Changsun Wuji).But at this time, he no longer dared to recommend his own people.Listening to Li Shimin's tone, he already knew that his previous words had caused Li Shimin's dissatisfaction, so how dare he recommend his own people to lead the army?

Instead of trying to attract Li Shimin's disgust and recommending his own people, it is better to recommend his opponent so that he can walk slowly... At this time, there are three advantages for him to recommend Xue Wanche.

Not only can Li Shimin's unhappiness be eliminated in an understatement, but also he can gain a reputation for not avoiding hatred. Maybe he can use this matter to turn his fight with Xue Wanche into a jade silk, and kill three birds with one stone--in a flash of thought, I came up with such a perfect The solution made Li Shimin unable to vent his anger, so he had to sigh in his heart, no wonder Zhen'er said that Wuji was an old fox...Looking at what he did today, he is worthy of being an old fox, and he is really powerful enough.

"Xue Wanche? This is a good candidate, and the minister seconded the proposal." Li Jing was the first to agree. Although Xue Wanche and Li Zhen were not on the same path, he was not a member of the anti-Li Zhen alliance, but a member of the neutral camp.However, the two sides had friendship in Turkic (when Li Zhen served as the Turkic Chief Protector, Xue Wanche was his Deputy Chief Protector, and he trained the first batch of cavalry in the Turkic Chief Protector), psychologically Xue Wanche is still very biased On Li Zhen's side, if the two sides cooperate again in Nanyang, I believe that with Li Zhen's ability, it should not be a problem to pull him into his camp.

It's not enough for Li Jing to second the proposal alone, so Li Shimin asked casually, "I don't know what's your opinion?"

"Your majesty is wise, and my ministers have seconded the proposal~"

"The minister seconded the proposal~"

"The minister seconded the proposal~"

"The minister seconded the proposal~"

"..."

The emperor lost his temper just now, and called all the bastards who dared to stand up to him as fools. Now is the time when the momentum is like a rainbow. Who would dare to disobey him at this time?What's more, Xue Wanche is indeed a qualified general. His reputation may not be as high as that of Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde, but after all, he is also a veteran in the army. He once fought the world with Li Shimin and commanded an army of one hundred thousand Still no problem.

Seeing that no one was right, Li Shimin said with satisfaction: "Very well, then let's do this, Fang Qing, let's draw up an order."

"Yes……"

"Wait a minute." Changsun Wuji suddenly said.

"Auxiliary machine, do you have anything else to do?" Changsun Wuji spoke at this moment, Li Shimin subconsciously felt that he would not say anything good, and asked in a low voice with an invisible momentum.
