Tang's dining table

Today's Tang Dynasty, looking around the world, there is no opponent.

In other words, there are still some hidden dangers inside that can cause some harm to Datang.

Some of the wounded were now lying dead on the ground, while those who had been captured alive were still there, cursing and wishing for death.

Wen Wen couldn't understand that these people knew that what they were doing was rebellion, and that doing so would cause their three tribes to be beheaded, six tribes to be exiled, and nine tribes to become untouchables, but they still came bravely.

If these people serve a lofty ideal and feel that they can build a better Tang Dynasty or fight for something else, they can be regarded as heroes of a generation.

After asking, I found out that these people were loyal people of other families. It was only because their master was dissatisfied with Li Zhi that they came all the way to assassinate the emperor.

Wenwen doesn't like others very much.

Because other people can't do the good things Li Zhi is doing now.

What Li Zhi is doing now is actually harmful to the Li family, the leader of the noble clan, but it is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty. What is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty will naturally be beneficial to the people.

There is a big difference between Li Tang and Datang.

When Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was young, he was often scolded by his father Liu Taigong, saying that he was not as good as his second brother Liu Zhong in buying a family business.

After Liu Bang became the Emperor of Han Dynasty, when he met Liu Taigong, he jokingly asked his father who was better at buying a family property or his second brother.

Liu Taigong said, your second brother is far inferior to you.

The people next to him, Xiao He, Cao Shen and others all agreed, thinking that Liu Bang had bought a great business.

The affairs of the family world are a very old matter. This is all due to Dayu. Ever since he abandoned the abdication system and passed his leadership position to his son Qi, this kind of thing that is beneficial to the family has been stubborn from generation to generation. The inheritance has been passed down to the current Li Tang.

A family can be big or small. If it is big, it can swallow up the universe. If it is small, it can hide and disappear. When one family is prosperous, thousands of families will be hidden. If one family falls, then thousands of families will rise up.

Therefore, from a certain perspective, in fact, all families in the Tang Dynasty have the potential to become hidden dragons. What Li Zhi is doing now is to kill hidden dragons, especially those poisonous hidden dragons.

According to the law of conservation of energy, when a whale falls, all things are born; when a dragon dies, hundreds of dragons are naturally strong. Any restrictions are only temporary. After the troubles in Shandong and Hebei are dealt with, there will be no new family in other places. It's thriving.

Wen Wenwen was not optimistic about Li Zhi's current approach, unless he, the Li family, cleaned up the wealthy families of the Tang Dynasty every twenty years.

It was obvious that he couldn't do it.

The current strength of the Li family is a very accidental thing. The main reason is that Chang'an has developed too fast, faster than everyone in the Tang Dynasty expected. Therefore, Li Zhi can have the upper hand and do whatever he wants.

There has never been a shortage of wise people in the Tang Dynasty. As long as they wake up, they will quickly follow suit, and after learning enough lessons, they will become more cunning, more difficult to deal with, and more hidden.

Regarding the captured people, Wen Wen once again did some screening, keeping all the die-hard rebels, and killed all those who begged for their lives, and recorded them as military merits of the soldiers.

Emperor Li Zhi was very happy when the battle report reached him. Although Wen Wen's killings on the battlefield were heavier and less than 200 people were left alive, Li Zhi still believed that this was due to Wen Wen's eagerness to perform meritorious service.

Then, all the traitors captured by Wen Wen were handed over to Zhou Xing, who had been busy and panicking recently.

However, the gentle former army general's position was still removed by the emperor and replaced by a Jinwuwei general named Duan Cheng, who continued to lead the troops to search for fish that had slipped through the Liangshan area.

"The emperor is still very cautious. He knows how to use a good general, usually a strong one. The wise generals open up the situation, and then send mediocre people to expand the results."

Gentleness is back, Di Renjie said.

Wen Wen said with disdain: "If the emperor is no longer worried, how can such a person be called a hero?"

Di Renjie pointed at Yun Chu and said, "He is someone who does not need to worry in the emperor's heart."

Wen Wen shook his head and said: "If the emperor evacuates all the more than 1,500 spies who stayed in Chang'an City, then you will have credibility if you say such a thing again. All fools know that Yun Chu's roots are in Chang'an, and Yun Chu who left Chang'an will I don't need to support you, so I can naturally give you enough trust.

In the past two years, both the Daming Palace and the Xingqing Palace have been almost completed. At least, the smaller Xingqing Palace is already habitable. Do you think the emperor has the intention of leaving the Ziwei Palace in Luoyang and living in the Xingqing Palace in Chang'an? ? "

Di Renjie said: "Chang'an, I'm afraid, will become the Tang Dynasty's money bag for a long time to come. As for the emperor's territory, there is no need to think about it for the time being."

Yun Chu, who was looking at the map, turned around, looked at Wen Wen and said to Di Renjie: "It is estimated that in five days, we can go straight to Qufu."

Wen Wen drank cans of tea and said, "Why do you see it?"

Yun Chu said: "Today, six elders of the Kong family came to Liangshan and respectfully invited Your Majesty to visit Qufu as soon as possible."

Di Renjie said: "Kong has surrendered."

She smiled softly and said, "It's not surprising. The reason why His Majesty is stationed in Liangshan is probably waiting for the Kong family to surrender. Now that the goal has been achieved, he will naturally rush to Qufu quickly."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "In this case, the Cui family will be roasted on the fire. Do you think His Majesty will forcefully take back the Kong family and the ancestral land of the Cui family?"

Wen Wen said: "Shandong has been a place of dazzling culture since ancient times. If your majesty wants to pacify Shandong, the Kong family and the Cui family cannot continue to stay in Shandong. I think your majesty may bring these two clans to Beijing to serve the country. .

As for their ancestral land, it will naturally be divided by His Majesty. "

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Since we want to recruit them to the capital, do you think we will take them to Chang'an or Luoyang?"

Di Renjie said: "A pig is raised, and a group of pigs are released. Naturally, it falls in Chang'an. Anyway, Chang'an has the largest number of spies in the Tang Dynasty. It would be a waste of manpower just to monitor us."

Yun Chu said: "The Kong family and the Cui family are so big, with a population of no less than ten thousand people. They crammed so many people into Chang'an. I think the Kong family and the Cui family may not be able to support so many people without the land."

Gentle sighed and said: "You underestimated His Majesty's ruthless methods. This time His Majesty went to Liangshan Road so hard and encountered the assassination of tens of thousands of rebels here. Don't you understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts? "

Yun Chu nodded and said: "This is a bitter trick. His Majesty used this trick on himself. This is extremely difficult for an emperor who values ​​his own safety more than the sky."

Di Renjie said: "Your Majesty has paid so much... he shouldn't engage in loss-making business."

Yun Chu said: "Confucius already had the title of Duke Wenxuan..."

Wen Wen was startled and suddenly turned her head to look at Yun Chu.

Yun Chu took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and gave it to Wen Wen. After Di Renjie read it, he stuffed it into the small stove and looked back as the note turned into ashes.

Wen Wen hesitated for a moment and said: "Tweet the grace order? Execute the grace order now? It's not the right time."

Di Renjie also sucked in cold air as if he had a toothache and said: "Is this thing only implemented in Shandong and Hebei, or is it..."

Yun Chu nodded and said: "Now it seems that His Majesty is indeed related to Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty, and they both like to accomplish all their efforts in one battle. However, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty failed. I don't know whether His Majesty can succeed.

Now I begin to understand why the British Duke wanted to kill the emperor. If I were the British Duke, I would serve in the army all my life. I would go through life and death to get a valuable and good title. I thought that from now on, my descendants would be able to enjoy a meal of wealth. Unexpectedly The emperor only allowed him to enjoy his life, but he would not give it to his son or grandson. "

Wen Wen sneered and said: "We don't care what the emperor wants to do, and we can't control it. However, I am here to sternly warn you two, don't let yourself end up like Chao Cuo."

Yun Chu said: "I am now the emperor's bodyguard, so I am of no great use."

Di Renjie spread his hands and said, "I would like to be someone like Chao Cuo. Unfortunately, the official position is too small, and His Majesty, who is humble and humble, may not listen to me."

Yun Chu picked up a piece of beef jerky from the table and took a bite. He felt a little irritated. Wen Wenwen also took a piece of beef jerky and put it in his mouth to chew it and said, "Aunt Chun gave it to you?"

Yun Chu nodded.

Wen Wen said again: "Has the debt of favor turned into the debt of love between man and woman?"

Di Renjie took a stick of charcoal-grilled beef jerky and said, "Did you use a beauty trick?"

Yun Chu shook his head.

Wen Wen sighed and said: "Only with this kind of relationship, will His Majesty prepare to execute the "Tianfa Order" and write a note to tell you about this kind of thing. It seems that Aunt Chun likes you very much."

Di Renjie looked at Yun Chu with pity and said: "Otherwise, you can just let it go. Although Aunt Chun is a little older and fatter, don't worry, the brothers won't laugh at you... Hahahaha."

Yun Chu looked at Di Renjie and said, "Aunt Chun is a very clean woman. If she really has a deep love for me, it will be my luck to marry her back and become an equal wife. However, this possibility is too small.

You all know Wu Mei's temperament. I'm afraid that Aunt Chun will be tied to her for the rest of her life. If Aunt Chun dares to show any intention of leaving her, Aunt Chun's death will come. "

Wen Wen sneered and said: "It's not that there is no way. Di Renjie has no less than ten ways to bring Grandma Chun back to life."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "As far as I know, Grandma Chun is a person who cherishes her own life extremely. She will never be willing to take such a big risk just to marry me as an equal wife."

Di Renjie said doubtfully: "Judging from what she did, she really loves you to death."

Yun Chu looked at Di Renjie and said, "What if someone just likes this feeling and doesn't intend to actually realize it?"

Di Renjie looked at Yun Chu strangely and said, "How can there be such an idiot in the world?"

Yun Chu sneered and said: "How dare you underestimate this strange woman who has been with Wu Mei since she was nine years old and has been favored for eighteen years?"
