Datang Fenghua Road

"Your Majesty..." Han Yue scratched his forehead. He always felt that Li Shimin's words meant something. After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't bear it any longer. He cautiously probed, "Do you know anything about the price of military rations..."

"The price of military rations is very high!" Li Shimin directly pointed it out, but there was no anger on his face. Instead, he said lightly: "I knew from the beginning that the price of military rations was very high, and you would make huge profits from it! But so what? That's what I rewarded you, you can take it with peace of mind, don't have any psychological burden."

When he said this, he suddenly gave Han Yue a meaningful look, and said vaguely: "As long as you are obedient and don't think about asking for things that you shouldn't want, what if I give you the entire treasury?"

"What?" Han Yue looked confused, the emperor's voice was too low just now, and he wasn't sure if he heard it wrong.

Give me the whole treasury money?

What kind of joke is this?

I'm not your son, so I can't be so nice to me.He even took ten thousand steps back and said, what about your son, if I remember correctly, Li Chengqian is almost ten years old. Although this prince will be abolished in the future, doesn't the eldest grandson still have several biological children?

"Say I'm crazy, I think you're a little crazy." Han Yue was confused and always felt that something was wrong with Li Shimin tonight.

Is it okay to talk nonsense when the entire treasury is given to you?In addition to the prince of a country, who can have this qualification?If people listen to rumors and go out, after the addition and transformation of people with intentions, it can even evolve into rumors about usurping the throne. Will my head still be needed then?

Although the introduction was said by Li Shimin, if there are rumors spreading, people may not support him.Since ancient times, imperial power is no trivial matter. If the rumors have too much influence, Li Shimin can even raise the butcher's knife in person. The characters who kill brothers and brothers in Xuanwumen don't care whether they are wronged or not, and their priority must be their own country.

His face was full of confusion and confusion, as if suffering from a husky in the sun.After thinking about it for a long time, it can only be concluded that Li Shimin made a slip of the tongue.

Thinking of this in his heart, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. He glanced at Li Shimin, and sure enough, the emperor's face changed slightly, and he seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing just now.

The atmosphere was a bit dull for a while, and Han Yue felt that it was time to change the subject. Of course the emperor would not feel better if this continued, but he was the one who was truly frightened.

"Your Majesty! Now that the matter of military rations has been negotiated, do you think we should set up a document or something? Although you are not joking, this still involves the national treasury. Even if you nod your head, it will be the Ministry of Household that will allocate funds in the future. I heard that the eldest grandson Lord Wuji is a well-known iron rooster, not plucking a feather..."

"He will pull it out!" Li Shimin blurted out and said subconsciously, "Wuji may be mean to others, but he certainly won't be to you. You can rest assured, brat, there will be no obstacles to the sale of military rations."

"Uh, okay..." Han Yue sneered. He was going to change the subject, but he never thought that the emperor would make a slip of the tongue again. What does he mean to me?Xiaoye is not the son of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he has never even seen what he looks like.

No, Li Shimin is a little off tonight. If he continues like this, he will definitely be unlucky. Han Yue's heart is stunned. In order to completely change the topic, he finally released the biggest trick...

……

"Your Majesty, I want to talk to you about the Turks!"

"The matter of the Turks?" Li Shimin really cared about this, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Han Yue and said, "The brat has never even been to the court, why did you suddenly mention this, do you understand?" Although it was a rhetorical question, but There was no doubt in his tone, and he clearly wanted to hear opinions.

Han Yue didn't give a shit, and said directly: "In today's world, although the Tang Dynasty has the most land, the Turks are the most extensive. If you compare their grasslands with the land of the Tang Dynasty, they are almost twice as big as ours. Of course, the Central Plains The land is vast and rich, and the northern land is not a barren land. It’s just that the wealth of other people is in cattle and sheep, while the wealth of my Tang Dynasty is in grain. Farming and nomadism, we are essentially two civilizations. If civilizations cannot be integrated with each other, then we will There is only a life-and-death war for you..."

This point of view was put forward by later generations. It never appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin was a little surprised. He looked at Han Yue's face, and his tone suddenly became solemn, and said, "Go on."

"Your Majesty wants to listen, then the minister will say it!" Han Yue let out a soft sigh and suddenly said, "But some words may be harsh. If you are offended, please atone."

"It's okay!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said lightly: "I'm not the kind of person who is guilty of words." He still looked at Han Yue, and said again: "Go on."

If you want to listen twice, this is the real heart.Han Yue bowed his hands, sorted out his thoughts, and continued to talk with Li Shimin.

"As for the countries in today's world, the Tang Dynasty has only been established for a short time, but the Turks have already completed the unification. The Central Plains have suffered from 30 years of war, but the North has been recuperating. Not to mention anything else, the Turks have There are countless cavalry, and they are known as the masters of millions of strings, and they can be regarded as the best in the world."

Li Shimin nodded slowly.He was Emperor Ma, and he had great ambitions in his heart. Naturally, he was very concerned about the situation of the Turks. Since he ascended the throne, he has dispatched dozens of scouts to go deep into the Northland. It can be said that he knows the affairs of the Turks.

Han Yue went on to say: "Although nomadic people are strong, they have a fatal weakness, that is, they live on water and grass and feed on cattle and sheep. Once they encounter natural disasters and changes, they will suffer a great blow, because they are not involved in production, except for Cattle and sheep have almost no material reserves..."

"That's right!" Li Shimin nodded again and said with a deep understanding: "There are thousands of Turkic cattle and sheep, and a blizzard may freeze [-]% to death. In terms of the degree of reliance on nature, they are more than me in the Central Plains. This is also true. The reason why every time the cold winter is approaching, the Turks will inevitably plunder and plunder.”

"They are passing the risk!" Han Yue summed it up in one sentence and laughed: "Snatch other people's property to ensure their own survival, this is the naked law of the jungle."

Li Shimin nodded in agreement, and said slowly: "If meat is forced to eat, the Turks have always been like this." He glanced at Han Yue, and suddenly said: "Actually, it is not only the Turks, but I also have this situation in the Tang Dynasty. In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in great chaos, and the heroes rose up with their troops to snatch the property and land of the Sui Dynasty. At that time, there were [-] rebel kings in the world. You rob me, and I will rob you tomorrow. Whoever robs more will be stronger, and the weak will eat the strong, not just Turks..."

He suddenly stopped when he said this, it seemed inconvenient to talk about some things, but he wanted to tell Han Yue. After thinking about it again and again, the expression on his face changed, and finally he gritted his teeth and whispered: "You stinky boy, remember, be a human being. You must be ruthless and ruthless. The reason why I can be the emperor is because I am ruthless. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, I followed my father and emperor to conquer the world, grabbing the territory of the eighteen rebels, so my Li family was able to conquer the world. Later, I occupied the country. , I still want to snatch, snatch the military power in the world, snatch the throne of the prince, if not snatch, there will be no Li Shimin today."

Han Yue was startled, and cold sweat broke out immediately.

He never imagined that the emperor would suddenly say this to him.

The art of the emperor, should this be something that an ordinary small county man can listen to?Han Yue was almost scared to pee!

However, Li Shimin was still continuing, only to listen to him continue: "There are many principles in the world, and the weak and the strong can be regarded as a long-lasting way. You stinky boy, remember, if you want to achieve great achievements, sometimes you have to You have to be cruel."

"Your Majesty..." Han Yue interrupted him directly, trembling even when he spoke, and said tremblingly, "Let's discuss the Turkic affairs. I'm afraid of what you told me!"

"Afraid?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly. He glanced at Han Yue and saw that the boy was shaking all over, so he stopped talking.

It was just that in the darkness of the night, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Because it was still dark, Han Yue couldn't see clearly.

Chapter 101 The strategy of clearing the wall

"Your Majesty, I'd better say it straight!" Han Yue decided to go straight to the point. Tonight's Li Shimin was a little unusual, and the ambiguity in his speech made people frightened.At first it sounds like he is admonishing earnestly, but after thinking about it, he feels extremely frightened. Since ancient times, the imperial power has been bloody, and Han Yue is not willing to be planted on it.

If it wasn't because the Weishui Alliance was coming, he wouldn't have discussed this with Li Shimin if he killed him.

However, it’s impossible not to discuss it. If I remember correctly, the Weishui Alliance seems to be on August 24, which is the date recorded in the history books between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.But before this alliance day, the Turks had actually been raging on the land of the Tang Dynasty for half a month.

If we go backwards in this way, minus the 24 days of half a month from August [-]th, the Turks should send troops on August [-]th.

And today is August [-]rd, and there are only six days left before the time when the Turks sent troops to the grasslands.

Six days later, millions of people who control the strings will set foot on the Central Plains. The fire of war ignites, burning, killing and looting. Countless people die under their iron hooves, and hundreds of villages disappear.This is the tragedy of the people in the Central Plains. The history books only record that Li Shiminxiong roughly forced the Turks to form an alliance, but who has deeply studied how many people died at that time.

Tianjiazhuang had just killed and injured many villagers. Han Yue actually hated and blamed himself, but he had to force a smile. If he collapsed, what would happen to the people?

He chased the emperor for military rations business, just to have a long-term industry to deny the villagers. He smiled and flattered and bowed his waist, but he just wanted to get more benefits from Li Shimin.

He is a gangster, he has no ambitions, but he also wants to do something for this era!People always talk about feelings!

The Turks are coming. This is the number one tyrannical force in the world today, and the weak Tang Dynasty can't resist the enemy for the time being...

……

He was a little anxious and decided to take a risk to give Li Shimin a hint.

Of course, there must be a degree of adventure. It is absolutely impossible for him to reveal his identity as a traveler. Only when this premise is ensured can everything be done skillfully.

"Your Majesty, I will tell you straight!" Han Yue spoke again, his eyes turned slightly, his face put on a mysterious posture, and he whispered: "Although you warned me not to learn those things that gods are talking about , but I still have to confess to Your Majesty that I really understand some different techniques. For example, Your Majesty, you should know the Book of Changes. After reading this technique, you can observe the changes of heaven and earth, and the prediction and divination are quite accurate..."

"Huh?" Li Shimin's eyes flashed slightly. He knew that Han Yue was a smart boy. Since he was smart, he would not make the same mistake.He has already warned him not to be contaminated with Buddhism, Taoism, and religion, but he still has to follow himself to say this mysterious thing, so there must be a big reason for this.

Since ancient times, Mingjun has mostly accepted advice, and Li Shiming is one of the best among them. He glanced at Han Yue and saw the serious look on this kid's face, and finally nodded slowly: "If that's the case, then you can talk about it! You are so anxious that you want to tell me several times."

"Your Majesty!" Han Yue was not polite, he stepped forward and grabbed Li Shimin's hand, led the emperor to the edge of the mountain, pointed to the northern sky and said, "Look, Your Majesty, the star in the northern sky is dim, The stars are full of evil spirits, this celestial phenomenon is dominated by a cold snow storm in the north, and the starlight is so dim, the blizzard on the prairie may have already begun..."

He stopped here for a while, then pointed to the sky above his head and said: "If you look at the Zhongtian Galaxy again, it is obvious that there is a dragon light rushing into the Niudou Ruins, the greedy wolf and the broken army star are shining together, this celestial phenomenon dominates the world. When swordsmen rise, the fire of war will ignite."

In fact, how does Han Yue know how to watch the stars? These words are completely learned from later TV series, but Li Shimin actually likes this trick, because he has long received a secret report from the Hundred Knights, saying that the Northland winds Snow came early this year, and the Turks showed signs of being ready to move.
