Chapter 125: Long Wei
I don't know when a huge sand table was built in the Wude Palace, and the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty is almost clear at a glance. But the scale is very problematic, Taihang Mountain and Wangwu Mountain are squeezed together again, can it be said that Yugong will move the mountain again?
When Yun Hao was brought into the Wude Hall by Su Jin, Li Yuan, Li Er, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and Pei Lin were all here. It seemed that he was discussing something big, Yun Hao had a headache for a while, this lineup was enough for the court, and he was discussing big things at a glance. What he is most afraid of now is that Li Yuan will come to him to discuss big things, and Yun Hao really wants to stay at home now. As long as Li Yuan discusses it with him, it will be fine, and maybe he will have to take the troops somewhere.
"You're here, just in time, let's start now, there's news from the grassland. The Turks had put down the rebellions of some small tribes, and Jieli's position was once again secured. If you guessed correctly, the Turks are likely to strike again this winter. On the northern border, from Yinshan to Liaodong for thousands of miles, it was within the range of the Turks.
I came to you to discuss how to send this soldier. Yanzhi Mountain is down to Liaodong for thousands of miles, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are not enough to fill it. The population of Datang is all filled in, and it is not enough. Erlang, you are leading troops to fight, you tell me what to do. Li Yuan surrounded the sand table, like a tiger patrolling his territory.
"The father is shining brightly, and he is assisted by his eldest brother. The sons and daughters only led the troops to fight, as long as there was sufficient food and salary, why not let the father order the sons to fight to the edge of the sky. Li Er bowed calmly, and kicked the ball to Li Jiancheng without making a sound.
Li Jiancheng looked at Li Er like a fool, but he didn't expect this younger brother to have improved to this point. One sentence kicked Li Yuan's question, and I originally wanted to see Li Er's jokes, but I didn't expect that it was me who was in trouble now, Cao Cao was so treacherous?
"Hmmm! This pride is rare, and he is worthy of being the son of my Li family. Da Lang, you are the crown prince. You are in charge of the affairs of the six departments of the imperial court, tell me, if Erlang uses military rations, can he be guaranteed? Li Yuan smiled knowingly, and looked at Li Jiancheng according to the words handed over by Li Er.
"Father! This year's summer grain harvest is poor, and Hedong, Hebei Province is even more erosive because of the invasion of the Turks, and my Tang Dynasty has used troops one after another. The family funds accumulated in the past few years are almost empty. The second brother will do his best to raise the needs of the army, but ......! ”
"But what? The dignified prince, the prince of a country. Erlang sacrificed his life and death on the front line and did his best for my Li family. Do you want your soldiers to go hungry to war? Or do you want the soldiers to feel that I, the emperor, do not care about their life and death? ”
"Father! Erchen didn't dare! These words are too heavy, and Li Jiancheng's head can't bear it. Li Jiancheng was so frightened that he fell to his knees without saying a word.
"Father! The second brother has always spent money on wars, and the spoils of war have always been distributed to the relatives of the soldiers, and only one-tenth of them are handed over to the treasury. Although the eldest brother is in charge of the court, he can't help those killers. The treasury can't get in and out, and this year's summer grain is not harvested, what do you let the eldest brother do? Seeing that the leading brother had suffered, Li Yuanji immediately stepped forward.
This is the rhythm of tearing the face, and everyone knows about the spoils of war. But there are some things that everyone knows, but no one knows. Today, Li Yuanji made his words clear, which is equivalent to picking up Li Er's pants in public. exposed the most unsightly part of Li Er in broad daylight.
Ministers, look at me, and I'll look at you. Including Pei Lian, all of them lowered their heads and closed their eyes and did not speak. The royal housework is better than less mixing. If one is not mixed well, the life of the whole family will be involved.
"Father! The soldiers climbed the ice and lay in the snow, and fought with the Turks, that is, white knives went in and red knives came out. risked his life to fight for the Tang Dynasty, and the court did not have so much money to reward. If the soldiers are chilled, who will be willing to fight for the imperial court in the future. Erchen, this soldier, it's hard to bring! Li Er hurriedly knelt on the ground to defend himself.
Li Yuanji's words can be big or small, and at worst, he can't see the soldiers suffering. To put it more broadly, it is called inviting people to buy people's hearts and plotting against them.
"Erlang, you get up. I have also brought soldiers, and I know that it is difficult to bring soldiers. Don't tear your head on the waistband of your trousers, isn't it for a fortune. The court is poor, and the reward and pension are worse. However, it is not advisable for you to divide the spoils of war privately, and if the spoils are handed over to the treasury, you can still reward them. The kingdom must have a law!
Once there is no law, how can I govern this country? Some people will also use this to frame you. What do you want me to do? Rewarding you? Or punish you? Be cautious and don't leave this handle for others. Got it? Li Yuan patted Li Er's shoulder, not like the emperor talking to his courtiers. It's more like a father, teaching his son earnestly.
Li Yuanji, the courtiers were shocked. Li Jiancheng was still kneeling on the ground, but the emperor helped King Qin up. Is this a political signal? Could it be that the emperor's heart has changed? Li Jiancheng's head immediately oozed a row of fine beads of sweat, and he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move.
"Speaking of this law, it is sometimes understandable that the soldiers are rough men and make some mistakes. But what about those who have read books? The prince has been in charge of the affairs of the court over the years, and he has managed it well! Fortunately, people are imprisoned in heaven and say that death is unambiguous. What about the jailers of the prison? A whole team of people disappeared out of thin air, the prince is really good to be in charge of the court. Li Yuan put his hands behind his back and circled around Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng's body trembled slightly, and he could even feel which part of Li Yuan's eyes were staring at him. It was a feeling comparable to an awl, and Li Jiancheng had never been so scared. If you thought that killing Liu Wenjing would have such serious consequences, you would have to stop Li Yuanji from doing it anyway.
Li Yuanji swallowed his saliva with difficulty, but his mouth was so dry that he didn't spit at all. Nono stood next to him and didn't dare to say anything, his trembling legs revealing his nervousness.
"Prince, your position is the prince. Do you know what a prince is? ”
"Erchen......! Sons are terrified! ”
"Then do you know what it means to be the emperor's land under the whole world, and the emperor is not the emperor's minister on the shore of the land?"
"Erchen......!"
"I'll tell you today, I'm not dead yet! Whoever I want to be born in this world will be born! Whoever I want to die, he can die! I am ordered by the sky, and it will not be your turn to have the final say in the day when Datang has me! Li Yuan's voice suddenly rose an octave, and Li Jiancheng, who was kneeling on the ground, was about to faint. The head "buzzed" and "buzzed", and the emperor Lao Tzu suddenly made a difficulty, and Li Jiancheng was stunned at once.
"Erchen is terrified! The son is guilty! ”
"And you, don't think about this sky, that sky in your heart! There is only one piece of heaven in Datang, and that is me! I let you have a tomorrow, and you can enjoy prosperity tomorrow. Li Yuan roared like a tiger in the Wude Palace, and the courtiers turned pale with fright. They fell to their knees, and no one said a word.
Yun Hao followed everyone to his knees on the ground, and he didn't dare to come out. When the tiger is powerful, it is better not to tease. If you don't get one right, it will become tiger dung. Become the chicken who gave his life to scare the monkeys.
Li Jiancheng was even more sweaty, and his clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to his body. The hair on the sideburns is dreadlocked! Now that he is about to regret his death, he really wants to strangle Li Yuanji, this bastard. Don't look at Emperor Lao Tzu who was silent a few days ago, but once he made a move, he definitely couldn't eat and walked around.
glared at Li Yuanji viciously, but saw that Li Yuanji was also looking at him with a weak heart. The angry eyes made Li Yuanji shiver.
The silence in the Wude Hall was terrifying, and everyone could hear their heartbeats of "fluttering" and "fluttering", which was terrifyingly loud. No one dared to look up at Li Yuan, and they all hung their heads and didn't dare to speak.
"Father, everything is done by children, and it has nothing to do with the eldest brother. Liu Wenjing's witchcraft caused chaos in the court, and when Taiyuan raised troops, Liu Wenjing joined the army. Serving by his father's side, the sons were afraid that their father would indulge the adulterer by remembering the old feelings. That's why we got rid of the thief. The eldest brother has no idea about this, if the father is angry. The sons asked themselves to go to the title of King of Qin to atone for their sins! ”
Things have come to this point, and Li Yuanji has also let go. Today, when the second brother Li Shimin was revealed in public, he had completely torn his face with the second brother. If even the eldest brother who is the prince is offended, where will there be a place for him to stand in the court of the Tang Dynasty.
simply gave up the title of the prince, as long as Li Jiancheng kept the title of a prince in the future, it would not be easy. In the future, you will have to gamble on today.
Li Yuan glared at Li Yuanji, he had long known that this kid had done it. I really didn't expect this kid to have the courage to admit it, and it can be regarded as this kid's guts. But how to deal with Li Yuanji, Li Yuan was a little difficult. If someone else commits such a case, they would have been dragged out and beaten to death to feed the dogs. But it is impossible to do this to Li Yuanji, the tiger poison does not eat the child, this is his own son.
It is impossible to take away the prince's title, after all, the cause of Liu Wenjing's death cannot be said openly. stripped of the title of a prince for no reason, and the government and the opposition do not know what kind of rumors have been born.
"Humph! Pei Lian, you are the prime minister, you say, how should you deal with King Qi. Li Yuanji said it decisively, and Li Yuan couldn't lose his temper anymore. You can only find your own loyal horse boy as a step!
Pei Lian's heart was pantothenic, this idea was out of order? Liu Wenjing died when he died, and he also wanted him to die. However, the royal battle must not be involved indiscriminately, God knows which prince will sit in the Taiji Palace in the future.
In the end, it was an old fox who had become a fine man, Pei Lin thought for a while and said: "The minister is the prime minister who is responsible for managing hundreds of officials. But the princes above the hundred officials are not something that the prime minister can manage. Just now, His Majesty said that the court is legal, and the fault of the royal family is naturally responsible for Zong Zhengqing. His Majesty summoned the King of Huainan to come, and he will find out when he asks! ”
Li Yuanji secretly scolded the old fox, it is better to fall into the hands of Li Shentong than to be sent by Li Yuan now. Who doesn't know that Li Shentong and Li Shimin are wearing the same pants.
