Great Tang Southern Emperor

"No, I'd better stay with my father." Of course, Li Zhen couldn't just go back like this: "You are not younger than my father, so you might as well rest for a while, and leave these memorials to my son. After finishing the corrections, I will leave it to you, Father, to make a decision."

"Then it's even worse. I'd better watch it with my own eyes. These memorials record state affairs that need to be dealt with urgently, and they must not be sloppy." Li Shimin instructed very solemnly: "Zhener, you must remember that as an emperor , You don’t have to do everything yourself, but there are some things you have to know, especially these state affairs, you have to ask yourself.

You have to know that these things seem to be small things, very insignificant, but in fact these small things look relatively small because they are placed on the national level. In fact, each thing may be related to tens of thousands. Once a wrong decision is made about the livelihood of the common people, it is very likely to lead to a major disaster-it is precisely because of the hard work of the father these years that he managed to bring Datang to where it is today. "

"What the father said is true, I understand." Li Zhen said with a little admiration. Although she didn't approve of Li Shimin's ideas, it didn't mean that Li Zhen didn't admire such a person—it was because she couldn't do it. , so I admire those who can do it.

But worship belongs to worship, but this set of ideas is not what Li Zhen is willing to pursue. On the contrary, what he pursues is not to do what he can, and to do as little as he can. Only by delegating power can he live longer—— Don’t you see Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period, he had to do everything himself, but he was exhausted to death, while Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty did not go to court for 20 years, but there was no chaos in the world.

Li Zhen couldn't be as bastard as Emperor Jiajing, but he didn't want to make him work as hard as Zhuge Liang, but he didn't even think about it. The court must be in his hands. He will definitely not deal with it personally. Delegate power as soon as it is necessary, and hurry up as soon as possible. This is his philosophy of life.

"Wang Tingchu, remove the nail board to Zhen'er and let him rest for a while." Knowing that Li Zhen didn't listen to his words, Li Shimin didn't mind, he knew that Li Zhen would be a peerless emperor in the future, everyone Tang's territory will be expanded to the largest in his hands, and the larger the territory, it means more things to manage, especially the new income territory. The ethnic, religious and cultural differences are different from those of the Tang Dynasty. It is more difficult to assimilate it. It is hard work.Under such circumstances, a certain degree of decentralization is understandable, otherwise Li Zhen would not be able to serve as emperor for a few days, and he might die from overwork.

"Thank you, father." Although Li Zhen didn't plan to sleep again, it still felt uncomfortable to put such things as nail boards in front of him. Now that they were removed, it seemed much more pleasing to the eye.

"By the way, father, what are you going to do with Hou Junji?" Li Zhen casually opened a memorial, which was a memorial to the impeachment of Hou Junji. It listed ten evidences of Hou Junji's crimes. , what treason, etc., and even the last item may be that Hou Junji can’t be found guilty, so he just gave him a lustful name—the reason is that Hou Junji has twelve beautiful concubines in his family. ...

This is a bit too much, except for some "good men (such as Fang Xuanling)" who have no choice but to do so, does anyone's family have few concubines?Even Du Ruhui has more than one wife. There are more than 72 beautiful kings beside Li Zhen. What is it?Sex maniac?Or a big stallion?

Flipping the memorial to the end, the person who read the signed memorial was called Qin Shousheng (what a good name)... After proposing Hou Junji's ten crimes, he asked the imperial court to punish Hou Junji, and the nine tribes of Yi... …

This request was quite normal, Hou Junji committed a serious crime of treason, even if Li Shimin missed his old love, no one in the world would agree.

It's just that the attitude of these people changed too quickly, right?Li Zhen clearly remembered that last year when Hou Junji went back to participate in the prisoner offering ceremony, it could be said that there were so many guests, the visiting guests almost broke the threshold of his house.

As a result, now that Hou Junji has lost power, countless people frantically rushed up and trampled on him, wishing to trample him into the [-]th floor of hell, especially those who were on good terms with him on weekdays, and even called him brothers and sisters. His main force is also Li Shimin's most resolute opponent of Hou Junji's light start—although Li Shimin never thought of it that way.

You want to break away from the relationship between yourself and Hou Junji at this time, I can understand that, but there are many ways to break away from the relationship, why do you bother to use the most vicious method?Originally, Hou Junji was already betrayed by all relatives, and now you still want to step on him fiercely, wishing that he would never stand up again—what about your morals?It's no wonder that some people would say something like 'every time you slaughter more dogs with righteousness, you will always be a scholar if you are ungrateful'. Although this statement is not absolute, it still has some truth.

Of course, Li Zhen can also understand, after all, Cai Yong's example is right there - Dong Zhuo was killed by Wang Yun, because Dong Zhuo was kind to Cai Yong, so when everyone avoided Dong Zhuo , he went up to cry alone, and then Wang Yun caught him and killed him.

Not to mention whether Cai Yong's crying about Dong Zhuo was a political show, and then Wang Yun saw through it, but there is no doubt that this incident has taught future generations a truth-that is, if the person you once relied on loses power, Then you must not continue to keep in touch with him, otherwise, even if someone praises your kindness verbally, they will definitely isolate you secretly.

Although he understands what these people do, Li Zhen really doesn't like their character. No matter how Li Shimin will deal with Hou Junji, he has already written down the names of these people. The villain can use it, but it must not be reused...

Chapter 1017 Disposal of Hou Junji

Chapter 375 The Disposal of Hou Junji

"Junji..." Hearing Li Zhen's question, Li Shimin sighed a little. To be honest, Li Shimin's mood at this time is undoubtedly very complicated. When he first heard that Hou Junji was going to rebel, Li Shimin was naturally very angry, especially The article "Hou Junji Li Nixie" completely scolded Li Shimin from the [-]th generation of his ancestors to the [-]th generation of his descendants. Li Shimin even wished to strip Hou Junji alive.

But when Hou Junji's 10,000+ army was really burned to ashes by Xue Rengui, Hou Junji was captured alive and escorted back to Lingnan. When he saw Hou Junji's tragic situation with his own eyes, Li Shimin's mentality suddenly changed ——Speaking of which, after all, the two have partnered with each other for decades, especially when Hou Junji saved Li Shimin's life on the battlefield in the early years, there must be some affection...

Although later on, Hou Junji became less and less likable to Li Shimin, but even in the end, he still gave Hou Junji a chance—Nanyang guard general was a very important position. Rebellion, guarding generals must not only be loyal to the court, but more importantly, they must have super combat capabilities and ruthless and decisive methods to be competent.To be honest, in the imperial court at that time, there were quite a few people who agreed with these conditions, not to mention Li Jing and Li Ji, except for Hou Junji, the other sixteen generals of the guards could easily be qualified for this position.

At that time, there were quite a few people competing for this position, but Li Shimin still chose Hou Junji. Unfortunately, Hou Junji didn't understand Li Shimin's good intentions, and he completely let himself go after arriving in Nanyang.At the beginning, with Li Zhen around, he could restrain himself a bit, but when Li Zhen also returned to Lingnan, no one could control him anymore. When it comes to the road of rebellion, it fully proves a sentence-the evil committed by the sky is still forgivable, and the evil committed by oneself cannot live.

Half a month ago, Xue Rengui and Fang Yiai brought Hou Junji back to Lingnan, and Li Shimin personally met him. Thinking about the friendship between the two at the beginning, it is really embarrassing to meet again in this environment.

"Father, it's not my son who said that this Hou Junji must not stay. He is just a white-eyed wolf. He always takes others' kindness to him for granted, but once others feel sorry for him, he will always hate you for the rest of his life." , The best way for such a person is to beat him to death with a stick at once, otherwise, if you give him a way to survive, he will definitely come back to you." Li Zhen said solemnly, this is not because he wants to add insult to injury or something, With his status, he doesn't need this, but Hou Junji really has this kind of character, he must get revenge, and he will definitely bite Li Shimin back in the future.

And one more thing, if Li Shimin really forgave him so easily this time, it would definitely give others a false impression—can even rebellion be forgiven so easily?This will definitely lead to a reduction in the cost of rebellion. For those ambitious people who have long had other intentions, the situation may get out of hand. At that time, even if the court is ruthless again, it will be very difficult to quell the turmoil.

"When will I forgive Hou Junji?" Li Shimin squinted at Li Zhen: "Hou Junji's crime is unforgivable. There is no doubt about it. I was just thinking about it. Hou Junji's family members How to deal with it?"

"Of course we will kill them together." Li Zhen's eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness: "Father, this kind of thing can't be softened. I also know that Hou Junji's rebellion is only his own idea, and I also believe that his family members are all Innocent. But after all, it is imperative to be defensive. If you kill their father and husband, who knows what they will think? It’s okay to be reasonable. The problem is that Hou Junji has this kind of character. Do you think his Will the children be the kind of reasonable people?

Impossible, they will not remember that their father and husband were traitors who rebelled and rebelled. They only know that you, Li Shimin, are the chief culprit who killed their father and husband. Even if you can forgive them, they will not be grateful to you. This hatred is deeply buried in the bottom of my heart, and then I wait for the opportunity of revenge. Once I let them wait for this opportunity, they will show up without hesitation and give us a fatal blow. "

"That's enough..." Li Shimin snorted softly and looked at Li Zhen: "Can you say that? No matter how bad Hou Junji is, he has made military exploits for the Tang Dynasty after all. He is against our Li family. You have made great contributions to the world, others can say that, as a prince, it is a bit inappropriate for you to say that - I know that you said this deliberately because you want me to destroy Hou Junji Manchu, Hou Junji I won't stay with you... But Zhen'er, Father really doesn't like you like this."

"Yes, my son is guilty." Li Zhen hurriedly bowed to plead guilty. He also knew that what he said was a bit too much. Others said this to show that the relationship between himself and Hou Junji was bad, but he purely wanted to make Hou Junji feel guilty. Junji's family is dead.But Li Zhen didn't regret it, because Hou Junji's actions in Nanyang, just judging his death alone was not enough to wash away his guilt.Not to mention that his crime of rebellion is enough to destroy the whole family, but let's talk about his deeds in Rili City-he massacred tens of thousands of Tang people in Nanyang.

What are the people guilty of?

They came to Nanyang only to earn a piece of land. When Hou Junji attacked Rili City, the people there had just stabilized. What favorable support? In the end, in order to curry favor with the native army under him, Hou Junji acquiesced in the massacre of the natives against Rili City by his subordinates... This alone is enough to kill even the eighteen clans of Hou Junji. up.

"Let's not talk about that." Perhaps because Hou Junji was involved, Li Shimin was not in a good mood: "Talk about Xue Rengui, he has made such great contributions, how do you think I should reward him?"

"It's... it's inconvenient for my ministers to talk about it. Let the court decide." Li Zhen smiled coyly. Everyone in the world knew that Xue Rengui belonged to him. How could he answer this question? No matter what he wanted, he couldn't avoid it. The meaning of begging Xue Rengui for a reward is in it.What's more, Xue Rengui is only 30 years old now, and he has already become a general of the Yiwei. He has reached the pinnacle of the position of military attache, and he is a general at the top. In Datang, this position is usually empty, and the title has already reached the county level. Hou's level, and then he is a county magistrate, which is also not something that Xue Rengui can bear today.

Chapter 1018 Chapter Jun Didn't Come

Chapter 376 Chapter Chapter Lord Didn't Come

Seeing Li Zhen's refusal, Li Shimin smiled and said: "It's okay, now there are only you and my father and son, why bother to hide like this? I just want to hear your opinion, as for whether it will be successful or not, it depends on the result of the court's deliberations .”

"In this case, please forgive me for taking the liberty." Li Zhen closed her eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of it, there is indeed one thing, but it is not my request. , but Xue Rengui himself had asked his son-in-law—it seems that Xue Rengui felt that he had come to an end in the army, and he seemed to want to develop into the navy, so he wanted his son to transfer him to the navy."

"Navy? It's a little troublesome..." Li Shimin frowned. It's not that Xue Rengui is not suitable to transfer to the navy. Now the navy's momentum is at its peak. Small, this means that the navy has more opportunities. Even those civilian officials are shameless and want to squeeze into the navy. There is no doubt that he is more suitable than them. If this is really Xue Rengui's own request, Li Shimin doesn't mind the beauty of adults. Even if he is not familiar with water warfare, he only needs to go through systematic training, and at most half a year can make him qualified for the position of fleet commander. .

But the problem is also that the navy is too hot nowadays, and every family wants to get a share of it, trying their best to stuff people into it. Although most of Li Shimin did not agree, countless pairs of eyes are fixed on the navy , which includes some army bosses and most of the army people. After all, the future of the navy can definitely compete with the army. Zhen and Li Shimin had complaints, and they kept a lot of attention on the future opponent of the Navy.

Now if Xue Rengui is transferred to the navy——Xue Rengui's limelight is already big enough, and he is regarded as the leader of the next army by the military. Chaos, the momentum is at its peak, if he is transferred to the navy camp at this time, I am afraid that the army will immediately blow up his hair.

The military leader this time is undoubtedly Li Jing, but Li Jing is already old and has not been in charge of affairs these years, and Xue Rengui is Li Jing's direct disciple, with outstanding military exploits, he was already General Zuo Xiaowei at a young age, He was named Marquis of the county.

It is conceivable that even within ten years, as long as Xue Rengui does not kill himself, with the support of the entire military, he will definitely be crowned Duke of the State and become the God of War of the Tang Dynasty no less than Li Jing, there is no doubt about it.

And now there is only one excellent heir Xue Rengui in the entire army (Pei Xingjian and Wang Fangyi are still young or have been arranged by Li Zhen, and his evil talent has not yet been revealed at this time), you transfer him Into the navy?Emperor, what do you mean?What the hell are you trying to do, Navy?Directly seduce our future to your side?That's not the way to draw salary from the bottom of the pot, is it?Is it true that the old men are easy to provoke?

You must know that the navy's momentum is at its peak recently, and news about the navy is everywhere. Even the army is envious and jealous.

Originally, the army was not very satisfied with the navy. If it hadn't been for the fact that the navy was newly established and feared that it would be said that it relied on the strong to bully the weak, the army would have started to trouble the navy a long time ago. Fortunately, it was stopped by a few big bosses.As a result, the army itself has not troubled the navy yet. Who knows that the navy has taken the initiative to find trouble with the army. Li Shimin transferred Xue Rengui, the future star identified by the army, to the navy, which basically cut off the army. In the future, it would be strange if the Army didn't blow up its hair.

At this time, the army's emotions are very sensitive. Who would dare to provoke them at this time?Especially if this move is to cut off their future, this is undoubtedly killing parents for the army, how can they agree?And once the army is blown up, it is absolutely terrifying. So many big bosses put pressure on the emperor together. Even if the emperor is Li Shimin, he may have to retreat by three points, and may even reach a part of the compromise, thereby limiting the development of the navy. must.

"I also think so. Xue Rengui's transfer to the navy is really not very suitable." Li Zhen also sighed, and he didn't want to cause a dispute between the navy and the army.

Xue Rengui's plan is actually very clear to him. The army's combat missions in the next few years will not be heavy, which means that there will be no credit for it. On the contrary, the navy will definitely open up the sea in the next few years. There are endless credits to brush.

If Xue Rengui's situation wasn't so special, or someone else, such as Fang Yiai, didn't need to ask the emperor for instructions, Li Zhen could complete the change of their identities by himself, but it was Xue Rengui who made this request. Xue Rengui's identity is still the future leader of the army... This is a bit troublesome.

Moreover, Li Zhen himself was not very interested in transferring Xue Rengui to the navy. After all, the navy shouldered the heavy responsibility of expanding its territory, but the army was also very important-after all, you can't send warships to land in the navy, right? Although the navy has its own marine corps, the number is scarce after all. It is okay to grab the beach and land on the landing site, but if you really want to attack the city, you still need the army to complete it.

So the navy is important, but the army must also have a leader. From the current point of view, Xue Rengui is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. For the future of Datang, he has to be wronged a little.

"Since this is the case, forget it. You should tell him in advance and don't let him make this request at the celebration banquet." Li Shimin instructed, it is best not to ask such a request—after all In the future, the future leader of the army actually wants to join the navy. What's the matter?Not only is it difficult for Li Shimin to do so, but Lu Jun's face will also be lost.

"I understand, I will tell him in advance." Li Zhen replied.

Xue Rengui was brilliant this time. He quelled the Nanyang Rebellion with a thousand soldiers, and he was in the limelight for a while. Originally, Li Shimin planned to hold a celebration banquet for him as soon as he came back, but considering that there are still troops in the army at this time It is not suitable to celebrate the victory without returning from the expedition. I plan to hold a complete celebration banquet after the army returns completely. The army that has not returned from the expedition here does not refer to Liu Rengui. He is the navy. It refers to the army on the Tianzhu side.

Chapter 1019

Chapter 377 The Miserable Household Love

Speaking of the battle in the Tianzhu battlefield, it is now over. Puluojishe II still did not survive the torment of the serious illness. He died of a serious illness more than a month ago. After his death, he did not have enough prestige. The strong were in the formation, coupled with the strong military pressure of the Tang Dynasty, the Southern Indian Alliance immediately fell apart, although his son Chaori King I (not the Chaori King of the Gupta Dynasty in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the Chaori King I of the Chaluqi Dynasty, In addition to Chaori King I and Chaori King II), the Chalouqi Dynasty turned the tide after succeeding to the throne and won the support of some allies, but it was too late.
