Great Tang Southern Emperor

First of all, this place in Nanyang must not be given up. Even if Turkic is lost, it cannot be lost here.Because according to the people of Sinong Temple, after a detailed inspection, they found that the whole of Nanyang is as fertile as Linyi, and some places are even more fertile than Linyi. As long as such places are fully developed, they can really support people. The entire Datang—not to mention that there are countless mineral deposits on it, just for this point, it is impossible for Datang to give up here.

Immigrants are the best way to occupy this place, but after all, there are many aborigines here, and a large number of immigrants will occupy their living space. At that time, conflicts will definitely erupt between the two sides—this is a battle for living space, and the aborigines want to regain their own existence. The soil, the Datang immigrants have to protect their hard-won land, no matter which side will not give up easily, as time goes by, it will definitely lead to riots and even wars.

Datang occupied this place because he wanted a granary and stability, not a powder keg that would explode every few days.

And if you want to extinguish this powder keg, one of them must leave Nanyang——Datang managed to take down here, and finally completed the immigration work, whether it was for the reputation of the imperial court or to take care of the immigrants. Whether it feels good, in short, it is definitely impossible for the people of Datang to leave here.

Since the people of Datang couldn't leave, the only ones who left were the natives of Nanyang. This was Li Zhen's method—turning all the aboriginals of Nanyang into slaves and sending them to Datang as coolies.

However, with regard to Li Zhen's method, the DPRK and China were divided into two factions that almost quarreled, one of which was in support, and this faction was almost all Li Zhen's supporters or people who wanted to take refuge in Li Zhen.Their reasons are very good. It is indeed a bit cruel to uproot the indigenous forces in Nanyang, but it is a once-and-for-all method. As long as it succeeds once, there will be no more turmoil in Nanyang.

But since there is support, there is opposition, and the reason for the opponents is also very simple, that is, Li Zhen's move is indeed very convenient and quick, but it is too vicious, and it is harmful to peace. After all, Nanyang has hundreds of thousands of people. The aborigines, that's millions of lives, all sent to hell, it's too cruel.

Not only that, they also attacked Li Zhen, saying that Li Zhen has a vicious heart and doesn't take human life seriously. Even if he controls the country in the future, he will definitely be a tyrant.But for such a case, Li Shimin and Li Zhen's supporters are basically in the left ear and out the right ear. When it comes to killing people, you seem to have killed more people...

This faction is generally from aristocratic and Confucian families, and their hostility towards Li Zhen is very obvious.Although after the assassination, Li Shimin hated Confucianism more and more now, but he couldn't ignore their opinions.Because of the alliance of Confucianism and aristocratic families, Juhu controlled half of the court.What's more, Confucianism represents Qingliu. Although Qingliu has no rights, he controls public opinion. If they are allowed to talk nonsense outside, it will definitely discredit the court's impression.It's just a pity that the newspaper appeared too late, and the power of public opinion has not been taken from the hands of Confucianism, otherwise it would not be controlled by others like it is today.

Li Shimin kept regretting in his heart, but the situation in front of him had to be dealt with.

Looking at the officials below who were about to fight, Li Shimin covered his forehead in pain, and it was like this again, these days he was arguing and fighting every day, and he had no intention of stopping at all, let alone Nanyang's solution, even if it was The rewards of the Nanyang soldiers have not been negotiated.This is really a dereliction of duty by the imperial court. It will not only dampen the enthusiasm of the soldiers, but also seriously waste time-you must know that the sooner the immigration policy is implemented, the sooner the Tang Dynasty can grow a huge amount of grain, and the sooner there will be Food, probably how many people will starve to death?Hearing the noise buzzing like flies in his ears, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel an evil fire in his heart, you make noise every day, every day, it's not enough, now that Nanyang has been defeated, you are still making noise, you Do you really have the emperor in your eyes, and do you still take Datang Jiangshan into your heart?

"Stop arguing." The more he thought about it, the more angry Li Shimin could no longer control the evil fire in his heart, he shouted loudly, making everyone tremble in fright, and the Daxing Hall immediately fell silent.

Li Shimin pointed down angrily and said: "Look at your appearance, the frontlines have finished fighting, the territory has been seized, and the mission of the soldiers has been completed. Now it is our turn to govern, but you have not even Didn't even bring out the charter, but kept making noises in the court every day, how can you look like an important minister of the country?"

Chapter 548 Opening Another Battlefield

Chapter 13 opens another battlefield

Li Shimin became more and more angry, and finally his voice turned into a growl: "Your efficiency is not as good as those rough men in the army—if this gets out, will you be ashamed? Who is more embarrassing? What else do you have?" Do you look down on those soldiers?"

"What does the emperor mean?" A minister from a family asked.

"It doesn't matter what I mean, the important thing is what do you mean?" Li Shimin was furious when he saw someone in the aristocratic family. It was this group of bastards. It would be damned if I didn't come up with a suitable solution after discussing it for so long.

"Someone has come up with the charter now, but some people object, right? The reason for the objection is that it hurts nature, right?"

The man said: "Exactly, I also mean the same thing. After all, there are millions of human lives. If you just kill them like this, my Tang Dynasty will definitely suffer the punishment of heaven."

Li Shimin nodded: "Okay, since you are opposed to this method, then you should come up with a charter. I will refer to the opinions of both of you. Whoever is more reasonable will use whose."

"This..." The man's sweat immediately flowed down. If they had a way, they would have already taken it out. Why bother to mess around in the hall?

"Why don't you talk?" Li Shimin became more angry: "Don't tell me you didn't discuss a solution? Since there is no solution, then what are you doing? Isn't this unreasonable?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to say." Seeing that Li Shimin was ready for a showdown, the aristocratic family immediately became anxious. If the immigration policy is really implemented, the land under their names will really be in their hands. If the land court Take it away, and in the next few years they will really eat bran swallowed vegetables.

"Wu Aiqing, but it's all right. Does Aiqing have any good plans?" Seeing this person, Li Shimin's heart tightened. This person is Wu Youde, the brother-in-law of the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang. He is not under Fang Xuanling, but his strategies are often too sinister and vicious, which is not liked by Li Shimin, so he has not left any reputation in history.However, he is the brains of the family. The family was against the court, and he was responsible for most of the strategies, which brought a lot of trouble to the court.

Li Shimin was quite afraid of him. Seeing him walking out at this time, his face suddenly became ugly, but for the sake of the monarchy, he allowed Wu Youde to speak, and at the same time gave Fang Xuanling a look, telling him to prepare the steps for him Down.

"Your Majesty, I don't have a good solution. The reason why I stand up is to participate in one person." Wu Youde's strategy is obvious. Since you are determined to use Li Zhen's strategy, we have nothing to do Stop it, then I won't play with you anymore, I'll choose another place and reopen a battlefield, wouldn't that be enough?As long as everyone's attention is attracted here, and there are many allies supporting it, it is still very easy to wrestle on this topic.

"Oh? I don't know who Wu Aiqing wants to join?" Li Shimin immediately understood the only conspiracy, and he knew it in his heart. I want to see who you want to join?It's fine if it's someone else, but if you insist on playing Zhen'er, hehe, I'll let you understand what it means to be a father.

"The person who I want to participate in is Lord Junji, Lord of the Lu Kingdom." The slightly bowed posture just blocked the slightly raised corners of the mouth—do you think I would be so stupid to jump into your trap? in?If the object of my participation is Li Zhen, I am afraid that you will bear this crime for him immediately, right?My purpose is to disturb the topic, not to trouble Li Zhen, who is different?How can it make you wish?

"Oh? I don't know that Wu Aiqing is going to participate in the collection of kings. What crime is it?" Li Shimin's eyes have been completely narrowed. Anyone who knows Li Shimin knows that he is already angry. He wants to kill someone now.

Fortunately, he still has some reason, and said slowly: "Aiqing, you should think carefully before you say it. Although the imperial censor of the Tang Dynasty has the right to play rumors, the objects you want to participate in are the soldiers who are fighting abroad. If What you said is true. If what you said is false, then in order to appease the hearts of the frontline soldiers, I may need to send someone to represent me to appease Junji. Wu Aiqing is in her prime, so she is very suitable for this job. .”

"..." Sweat came out of Wu Youde's face immediately, appease?You are clearly asking me to die.If Hou Junji found out that those who played with him were photographed to appease him, with Hou Junji's character of vengeance, he would not kill himself—anyway, in Nanyang, if you want to kill someone, you don't want to Too easy.

But the matter has come to this point, Wu Youde can only hold on, fortunately, he has indeed grasped the evidence of Hou Junji's embezzlement and perversion of the law, and he is not afraid of Li Shimin making trouble for him.

"I don't dare to deceive the emperor. What I said is true. Hou Junji plundered and looted in Linyi, murdered people and wiped out his family at every turn. Apart from the money that was handed over to the national treasury, a considerable part of it fell into the His own pocket. Not just this time, in fact, when he led the army to attack Gaochang, he had looted the treasury of Gaochang, plundered the gold and silver treasures of the treasury without authorization, and included them in his pocket. They were all coveted by him, and only one was dedicated to the emperor. If you don't believe me, the emperor can go to Luguo Duke's Mansion to have a look. The entire Luguo Mansion is luxuriously decorated, and there is no one in the entire Chang'an city who can match it. .”

"Oh~ that's what you're talking about, I know about it." Li Shimin frowned, then relaxed, and laughed loudly: "I can't ignore the problem you mentioned about the king's concentration of private pockets. I believe your one-sided words, this needs to be thoroughly investigated before making a conclusion.”

Although he said so, Li Shimin knew that since people said so, there must be something wrong with Hou Junji, not to mention that when Gaochang was conquered at that time, someone had indeed reported to him the problem of Hou Junji enriching his private pockets, but At that time, Hou Junji had just returned from victory, and he was not easy to punish, so he suppressed the matter.

Later, I also investigated and found out that Hou Junji had a problem. I thought he was just confused for a while, and he should correct it after I beat it.Who knew that when he arrived in Nanyang, he would revert to his old ways and do such a thing again... It seems that what the pharmacist said is true, Hou Junji is really useless.

This idea flashed in Li Shimin's mind, and even though he was expelled aside, the most important thing right now is to solve Wu Youde's troubles.

Chapter 549 Li Shimin, You Are Shameless

Chapter 14 Li Shimin, You Are Shameless

"The matter of Gaochang will be exposed in this way first, and we will talk about it after I investigate. Let's talk about your first question first. In fact, Aiqing wronged Junji." Li Shimin smiled slightly and said: "Junji robbed Nanyang, this In fact, it was not he who acted without authorization, but an order from Zhener, who asked Junji to do it. If this matter is really to be pursued, Zhener is actually the culprit.

After all, Zhen'er is a child with a young blood. Seeing the Linyi people massacre the city and wipe out their households in Huanzhou and other places, it is right to want to take revenge.Who hasn't made a mistake yet?

If Ai Qing really thinks that Zhen'er's order is wrong, then I'll give Zhen'er a good reprimand.

However, it is well said in the "Three Character Classics": it is the fault of the father who does not raise it, and the laziness of the teacher who does not teach it strictly.

If Zhener is indeed at fault and needs to be convicted, then Zhen and Shubao also need to be convicted.

As Zhen'er's father, Shubao as Zhen'er's master, we did not play the role of supervising Zhen'er, both of us were at fault, and we should be punished first... Oh, yes , and Cen Wenwen, as the prince of Yue, he did not teach Zhen'er to be good, and did not play the role of a teacher at all. He also made mistakes, and the three of us should be punished.It's just that the crime of lax teaching, I don't know how Wu Aiqing thinks it should be punished? "

"I..." Wu Youde didn't spit out a mouthful of blood, so he knew you would use this trick. I didn't cause trouble for Li Zhen. Who knew that I didn't cause trouble for him, but you let Li Zhen take the initiative to bump into you , take the initiative to let Li Zhen take the blame for Hou Junji, and then you, Qin Qiong and Cen Wenwen take the blame for Li Zhen, so that we can't punish if we want... Li Shimin, you are so shameless.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Wu Aiqing, don't be nervous, but you can say it. Although I am the emperor, I am also a father. Now I am facing you from the perspective of a father. You can say whatever you want."

"This...maybe the minister's news was wrong. Duke Lu is an example of a soldier. How could he do such a thing?" Wu Youde immediately took the initiative to defend Hou Junji. Of course he was very unwilling in his heart, but Li Shimin said everything It's here, even if he doesn't want to admit defeat.

Now the situation is obvious, if you want to punish Hou Junji, you must punish Li Zhen, and if you want to punish Li Zhen, you must punish Li Shimin and Qin Qiongcen Wenwen.The latter two are fine, the question is you, Li Shimin, you talk about each other, and dare to say that you are a father?Even if you are a father, you are still an emperor, punishing the emperor—are you kidding me?Even if you give me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare.

Li Shimin had a smile on his face: "So that's how it is. Then Wu Aiqing should pay attention to it in the future. If you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you believe too much, you will be dark."

"Yes, I will pay attention." Wu Youde admitted defeat after wiping off his cold sweat.

"Okay, since Wu Aiqing has nothing to do, let's continue to talk about Nanyang affairs. You don't have to be shy, just speak freely. It's best to discuss it today, otherwise when the Nanyang war is really over, we haven't done it yet. Discuss a feasible policy, but people will laugh at it." After hitting Wu Youde, Li Shimin, with the momentum of a big victory, turned the topic back, prepared to continue discussing the previous topic, and decided to set a tone today.

But this is obviously contrary to the interests of the aristocratic family, how could the aristocratic family allow him to get what he wanted?

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, I have my own report." Another person from the aristocratic camp stood up and interrupted Li Shimin's words.Their purpose is obvious, that is to slow down the army - Wu Youde failed, but half of the people in the court are from aristocratic families or Confucianism, too many things happened in the Nanyang War, it is very simple to want to criticize, as long as They took turns to play, and if they wanted to delay the time at night, it was fine, but they didn't believe that Li Shimin dared to delay the court until night and not go down.

Li Shimin's brows were slightly frowned, he probably understood the family's conspiracy, and said a little displeased: "What's the matter with Lu Aiqing, but it's okay to talk about it."

The minister surnamed Lu was named Lu Deyan, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up with a scheming smile when he heard the words: "My minister and Mr. Wu have the same purpose, and they also want to participate in one person."

"I don't know who Aiqing plans to join?"

"It's His Royal Highness the King of Yue." Lu De's words were astonishing.

"What?" There was an uproar in the hall, and everyone looked at Lu Deyan in surprise, as if they were looking at someone who was about to die.
