Datang unsigned for six years, only to know that it is Journey to the West

Seeing Li Bai again, Li Shimin smiled.

"Li Taibai, I am a poet of the Tang Dynasty, I missed you in the Taiji Hall." Li Shimin smiled kindly.

Li Bai poured a cup of tea with a smile and said, "Your Majesty was joking."

Li Shimin really felt the change in Li Bai's temperament. In just a few days, he seemed to have been completely reborn.

He really regretted that he missed Li Bai back then.

After Su Chen told Li Bai to retreat, he closed the door.

Li Shimin said: "Tianshi, can you return Li Bai to me? The Tang Dynasty needs a talent like him."

Su Chen said: "Your Majesty is joking, Li Bai has always been a Tang man. When he needs it, he can use his sword to make a move, and he can use a brush to get ink."

Li Shimin was very useful when he heard this.

This is Su Chen's statement. If Datang needs it, he can still recruit Li Bai.

This also shows that he will not be angry because of Li Bai's top ten in the imperial examination, but Li Shimin is relieved.

Su Chen said: "Your Majesty, let's talk about the signing."

When important matters were mentioned, Li Shimin's face became cold again, and his eyes were full of killing intent.

One can imagine how angry he was.

Su Chen said: "Your Majesty is the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Both Wei Guogong and General Zhang violated the military law. They did something wrong and deserved to be killed. How could they be signed because of this?!"

Li Shimin nodded again and again, but his eyes were full of thought.

He slowly said: "The signing of the lottery means that killing them will bring huge troubles to Datang and even to me. However, Datang belongs to me. If you kill them, even if there is trouble, how can there be any trouble?" Such a monstrous difficulty?!"

Su Chen nodded, affirming Li Shimin's statement.

He explained: "Your Majesty is rich all over the world, not to mention killing two arrogant soldiers who deceived the superior and the inferior, even if they are killed innocently, it is just a matter of fact."

Li Shimin was silent.

Su Chen said again: "But, Your Majesty, the identities of the two of them are not ordinary. If they are really killed, they will indeed have an indelible impact on Datang and His Majesty!"

Li Shimin was not convinced.

Even if he killed his brothers, Datang would not be able to overthrow the sky, he is still the Ninth Five Supreme!

Thinking of this, he became even more angry.

Li Shimin said angrily: "No matter how powerful they are, can they still be bigger than the former Sui Yang Guang?!"

Su Chen said: "Your Majesty, in a sense, they are indeed more important than Yang Guang in the former Sui Dynasty. At least for the current Tang Dynasty, the impact of killing them is very bad."

Subsequently.

He began to analyze one by one, "Look, Your Majesty, Zhang Baoxiang is a member of the Zhang family, who has the resources of the Zhang family in Huainan in his hands; Li Jing is the head of the Li family in Yongzhou, he is also the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is the mentor of many generals."

"The two of them have extraordinary identities. Once they are moved, it will affect the foundation of the entire Tang Dynasty. Especially in the current situation where the Tang Dynasty continues to use troops abroad, if they are moved, it is the Datang Military Department. It is also a blow to the old nobles. Start a war, and what His Majesty has to do is to slowly disintegrate the power of the old family, which is the best policy."

After talking about it, Li Shimin also calmed down.

He didn't know how much impact it would have if Li Jing and Zhang Baoxiang were moved, but he couldn't swallow that breath and couldn't convince himself!

Now that he got Su Chen's suggestion, it also made him understand that the influence of Li Jing and Zhang Baoxiang in the Ministry of War is indeed beyond his imagination.

If they are moved, Datang will really be in turmoil!

Even if it doesn't turn the world upside down, it will hurt the muscles and bones.

Li Shimin sighed dejectedly, "Lord Tianshi, how to resolve this signing?!"

Su Chen said: "Your Majesty is asking about the result of killing them, and the result is to make a lottery. The way to resolve the lottery is not to kill them."

Li Shimin was speechless immediately.

Su Chen said again: "The catastrophe of signing the lottery will make the monarch and his ministers alienated, and the resistance of the aristocratic family will be detrimental to the development of Datang."

"Only by not killing, maintaining benevolence, and resolving step by step, can this catastrophe be resolved."

Li Shimin said: "But I can't swallow this breath."

Su Chen also understands that if Li Shimin doesn't solve his knots and gives a perfect solution to deal with this matter, he will always hesitate.

In this way, this signing cannot be resolved.

Unsolved, Li Shimin still can't think about it later, if he wipes out the card, he will not be able to get the [Jiangshan Sheji Map]!

That won't work!

Su Chen signaled Li Shimin to drink tea, and said, "Your Majesty, drink tea first, don't worry."

Li Shimin drank the tea, but his anger was still lingering.

Su Chen comforted: "Your Majesty, let's analyze why His Majesty wanted to kill the two of them!"

Li Shimin said: "The two of them lied about the military situation and deceived their superiors and inferiors. Shouldn't they be killed?!"

Su Chen shook his head and said, "That's not enough."

"The law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that those who lie about military information will be killed or severely punished. After His Majesty strictly investigated the crime of beheading, almost no generals were killed for lying about military information. They were all amputated or sent for life."

During Li Shimin's time, he was really tolerant of the crime of beheading!

Nearly abolished most crimes of beheading.

Ordinary soldiers were killed for lying about the military situation, but they were all killed by the generals.

Almost none of the generals were killed by the emperor because of this!

Li Shimin fell silent.

Su Chen said: "Since there is no precedent, and they have made great contributions, His Majesty's killing them will definitely attract dissension from the monarch and ministers. Not only the Ministry of War, but other ministers will also be worried."

"Secondly, to deal with such courtiers, is it better to kill or not to kill?!"

Li Shimin said: "Of course it is to kill them and then hurry up!"

Su Chen shook his head directly, "Sometimes, killing may not be the best choice."

Li Shimin had actually dissipated a lot of anger at this time, after all he also knew that killing Li Jing and Zhang Baoxiang had too much impact.

However, I just couldn't swallow this breath.

"Master Tianshi, what do you think I should do?!"

"Sometimes, it's better to kill than to kill!"

Killing is worse than killing one's heart? !

Li Shimin chewed this sentence carefully, his eyes gradually brightened, he slapped his thigh, and said: "What the Heavenly Master said is very true, it really awakened the dreamer with one word."

Then he got up and clasped his fists, and saluted politely: "Please teach me how to punish my heart?!"

Su Chen said: "Your Majesty knows that they are deceiving others, and they are also worried about this."

"If they know that His Majesty already knows about this, what attitude should they take?!"

Although Su Chen's words were a bit convoluted, Li Shimin was so smart, he still understood!

"They will definitely not be able to sleep at night, and they may turn back in fear of crime, or take the initiative to plead guilty."

Su Chen nodded approvingly, "All are possible, but Pindao thinks that the last one is the most likely."

Li Shimin hesitated to speak!

If they pleaded guilty, with his personality, most likely he could only force him to deal with it leniently!

but.

He was on fire, and he didn't want to settle the matter lightly.

Su Chen also understood that Li Shimin even wanted to take this opportunity to solve all the troubles of the family!

really!

Li Shimin said bluntly: "Master Tianshi, I want to punish my heart and calm the family's troubles. Is there a way to make use of it?!"

Chapter 98

Li Shimin has made no secret of it, and bluntly said that he wants to punish his heart and suppress the family.

But as an emperor, it is only natural to have such thoughts.

after all.

What he has to consider is the entire Great Tang Empire and his own imperial overlord.

not to mention.

It's useless to cover up in front of Su Chen, so Li Shimin expressed his attitude directly.

Su Chen understands that if Li Shimin doesn't solve the problem, he won't be able to let it go, and then he won't be able to get his [Jiangshan Sheji Map]!

As for the speech, he had already prepared it.

He calmly said: "The easiest way to punish one's heart is to make the other party feel so guilty that they have a grudge and can't care about it."

Li Shimin thought carefully and nodded slightly.

He also understands the truth, but in front of Su Chen, he is a little dependent and doesn't use his brain much.

"What did the master think that day?!"

"Tell them that His Majesty already knows about Dingxiang Dao and Zhang Bao's deception, but you have to tell them ingeniously. Pindao believes that His Majesty must have a way."

Li Shimin nodded, he really has a solution, and he admires Su Chen's strategy very much.

Looking at Su Chen, he seemed to see the figures of Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng.

It's like a combination of the four of them.

Incomparably intelligent, predicting things like a god.

Su Chen said again: "I already have a heart to punish, but it is not so easy for Your Majesty to resolve the family's troubles."

"At least it is impossible to dissolve the entire family at once. And many of His Majesty's current actions are meritorious and beneficial to all generations. Therefore, His Majesty should not be in a hurry, and it is best to plan slowly."

Li Shimin nodded frequently. He was also dazzled by anger before making these requests.

And he understands even better that Su Chen has no obligation to help him solve the family's troubles.

What's more, he also understands that the troubles of the family cannot be solved overnight by one or two things.

After all, there are too many involved, and they can only be disintegrated slowly. At most, they can do something to disintegrate them quickly.

Su Chen had already said this, and Li Shimin knew that he couldn't force him any more.

but.

He was still a little unwilling and worried, "Lord Tianshi, if I have punished their hearts, how should I treat them next?!"

Su Chen said, "How does Your Majesty want to deal with them?"

Li Shimin was silent for a moment, and said: "They deceive the superior and the inferior, and after killing people, they must also be afraid and guarded against me, so I will not reuse them in the future."

These are heartfelt words.

That is to face Su Chen, otherwise Li Shimin would not have said it even to Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji and others.

Su Chen smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then His Majesty will do just that."

Li Shimin said: "However, they have the military power in their hands, they have the support of the family, and they have made great achievements. If they let it go like this, I feel uneasy!"

After all, Li Shimin was also afraid that the generals would hold heavy troops, especially Li Jing was the military god of the Tang Dynasty, and his military strength was at the peak of the Tang Dynasty.

Almost all the people in the military department are Li Jing's people. If Li Jing intends to rebel, Li Shimin may not be able to sleep all night!

The emperor was suspicious, and Li Shimin was not exempt.

Li Jing and Zhang Baoxiang had already deceived him, and he could no longer gain his trust, and he planned to snub them, naturally because he was worried that they would feel resentment.

Su Chen said: "Your Majesty has given their military power."

Li Shimin said: "But they have made great achievements, and if I want to punish my heart, it is naturally impossible to publicize the deception, so I can't get back the rewards I gave them."

"What's more, military power is no different from their wealth and life to generals, so how can they hand it over so easily?"

Su Chen said: "Your Majesty invites them to drink, and then it's over."
