Chapter 394: The Monarch and the Ministers Play the Right Match
The peace talks with Goryeo proceeded very quickly, and the current situation in Goryeo was a fish on the chopping block. Heo Kyung-jong had ample advantage to take more flesh from the Goryeo people.
Goguryeo spit out Liaodong, which had occupied more than 200 years, and destroyed the Great Wall with his own hands. Yuangai Suwen avoided Li Yuan's name and changed his name to Quangai Suwen, and the eldest son Yuannan entered Chang'an as a hostage. All the forces of Goguryeo retreated on the south bank of the Yalu River, and they had to pay a huge amount of tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year. Even provide heavy conscription to Datang every year!
Yun Hao looked at this contract that the Koreans had no resistance to, and it can be said that the paper was full of loss of power and humiliation of the country. In particular, the huge amount of tribute and the heavy conscription, which was pumping the blood of the Goryeo people. In the future, it will be very difficult for Goryeo to gather praise for national strength, and the only wish is that Datang himself will make mistakes.
According to Li Er's wisdom, this wish of the Korean people is a dream.
Now Yun Hao is the commander of the 200,000 expeditionary forces of the Tang Dynasty, and he has the power to control one person and more than 10,000 people. But the foreboding was becoming more and more obvious, because Li Er still hid and disappeared. What made Yun Hao even more creepy was that a rumor was circulating in the barracks.
His Majesty the Emperor is critically ill!
What made Yun Hao feel even more wrong was that the eldest grandson Wuji was gone. This guy who is the prime minister and the eldest brother has always been Li Er's most trusted person. Now at this time, he suddenly disappeared...... Where did he go?
Yun Hao didn't dare to ask, and he couldn't ask. He knew that a political storm was brewing, and since he was not in the area where the storm hit. Don't run over smartly, otherwise the power of the storm is enough to destroy the thriving Yun family.
Li Er was lying in the imperial tent, surrounded by naked Goryeo beauties. This was a gift from Yuangai Suwen, who was said to be Gao Jianwu's daughter. In terms of status, she is a princess of Goryeo, but her father is dead, and the phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken. is a dispensable person in Goryeo, and giving it to Li Er to play with is also a good use.
Although the beauty tried her best to help him release the pressure, Li Er's spirit was still tense. This is a dangerous temptation, and it is also a temptation that has to be done.
When my son grows up, he always has some ideas of his own. Some forces in the court also have to look for their own spokespeople. Undoubtedly, Li Chengqian is a very good candidate. There is a background, a status, and more importantly, he is the future emperor of the empire.
From the dragon minister, he has always gained a lot, just look at those guys who follow Li Er to fight the world. Liu Hongji is an old hooligan, and now Kui Guogong's position is also sitting firmly. As long as you don't make the mistake of the eldest grandson Shunde, the wealth of a lifetime or several lifetimes is already doomed.
There are a lot of people who have this idea, and Li Er wants to know how far these people want to go.
The news of critical illness has been released for more than ten days, and it stands to reason that the news has already arrived in Chang'an. But Chang'an was still quiet and terrible, and Li Chengqian did not make any changes. Hou Junji, who was far away in the Western Regions, did not make any changes, and even the soldiers and horses who stayed in Chang'an did not take any measures. Everything is as usual, except that the imperial court of the crown prince will not make major moves.
I very much hope that Li Chengqian will not take risks, otherwise the eldest grandson Wuji, who holds Wang Xu's throne, will let the rebellious soldiers and horses be wiped out. will be with his authority in the army, Li Er never doubted.
patted the head of the Goryeo beauty and told her to stop and climb on top of her. The majesty of a middle-aged man naturally has to be exerted on the girl's body. Many times, this kind of thing is actually a psychological gratification rather than a physical pleasure.
The princess of Goryeo tactfully acknowledged joy under her crotch, which is a sign of surrender!
Yun Hao grabbed Gao Quanhe's neck and asked him for a woman. From thirteen to thirty, as long as his conditions are not met, he will immediately tear up the contract. Ordered the Liaodong Naval Division, carrying a large army, to attack the coast of Goryeo. In fact, the Liaodong Naval Division has been doing this for many years. It's just that from Yun Hao's mouth, the scale will be even larger, and Goryeo's losses will be heavier.
Gao Quan and his neck were stalked and said that he was going to sue Li Er, but Yun Hao spat on his face. Lao Tzu's dignified Liaodong Road marching chief can't see it, you bastard can see the emperor?
Under Yun Hao's obscenity, the Koreans succumbed. They had to sacrifice 30,000 Goryeo women, and Yun Hao didn't pick their looks. These bastards have been holding back for a long time, and the sows are all double-eyelid. 30,000 Goryeo women should be enough for 200,000 troops to put out the fire.
"Dashuai, wouldn't this be too much!" Ling Jing was a little worried, this kind of thing could best arouse a nation's rebellion. He was worried that the Koreans would not be able to stand it, and if they ruined Li Er's plan, the consequences would be serious.
"Do you think Lao Tzu is willing, there are almost no living people killed in the land of Liaodong. It was revenge on the Koreans and the barbarians, but the army was always stationed here. The problem will be very serious, you look at these killers. If they are not allowed to go home because of the money, everyone will be scratching their hearts and livers.
At this time, if the Koreans called, it would be difficult to say whether they would win or lose even if they had the advantage of firearms. Give them some fun, at least stabilize the morale of the army. Gambling and drinking all day long, Lao Tzu is sometimes in a trance, not knowing whether this is a Datang military camp or a bandit cottage. I only hope that Your Majesty will not drag on like this anymore and return to Chang'an as soon as possible. Otherwise, this soldier can't be brought. "Yun Hao is only looking forward to returning to Chang'an soon.
In fact, this is not only his idea, but also the thoughts of all the expedition soldiers.
After the beginning of autumn, the weather in Liaodong seems to be much better. The wind is not hot either, with a hint of coolness. Finally, the body is no longer slimy, and it was counted a few days ago. The Tang Dynasty soldiers died no more than 300 people, but the number of people who died due to epidemics and various accidents has exceeded 1,000.
Last month, heavy rains caused landslides that buried more than 500 Tang troops alive. In the end, two living ones were barely dug up, and one of them became disabled. This was the heaviest loss since the expedition to Liaodong.
The expeditionary force had no letters from home, and naturally there was no way to get back the money they had captured. Everyone's backpack was full, and these were harvests in Anshi City and other places in Liaodong. As for the letters home, in fact they are needed. However, there are few literate people in these years, and even fewer people can write. In many places in Guanzhong, there is not a single literate person in a village.
The appearance of more than 30,000 Goryeo women made the lonely Tang Army expeditionary force inexplicably excited. Ever since they came, Yun Hao felt the earth tremble every night.
Time flickered to October, and Yun Hao felt the need to talk to Li Er. If you continue like this, Lao Tzu will spend the winter here. The winter in Liaodong is not something that anyone can bear, and it is not easy to gather these soldiers these days. He had to know how desperate the soldier's desire to go home was. I think that Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, was strangled to death in Yangzhou because he ignored the desire of the soldiers.
When Yun Hao saw Li Er, he knew how nonsense the rumors were. Now Li Er's face is ruddy, and he is healthier than Yun Hao. Looking at the tender Goryeo woman beside her, you can see that she is well moistened by Li Er. Looking at the belly that has been revealed, it is estimated that Li Er has worked hard.
The two of them got a dog, and it was still a big black dog. It is said that such a dog can dispel the cold, but I don't know what it is. However, Yun Hao was a little hesitant when he ate, if it was really a mad dog, the Tang Emperor would explain it to himself. Even if you get the vaccine, it doesn't work, you fucking know if your vaccine is useful or not.
Don't dare to learn from Feng An's fate! Now Yun Hao regrets getting a biological weapon into this world.
"Don't worry, the dog was raised by Gao Ji from childhood to adulthood. You think that the dog who eats will eat it. It's really an outlier that you can be a general with your own problems. Back then, when I hit Fenyang, there was no food to eat. Frogs and rats are all eaten in the mouths of soldiers. Li Er looked at Yun Hao and didn't dare to move his chopsticks, shook his head and said with a sigh.
Yun Hao despised Li Er's words, and the soldiers ate frogs and mice. What were you eating?
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was not so much food to eat. Uncle Ma is eating people, do you want to learn from it?
Since Li Er said that this is a pet dog, or the pet dog of Princess Goryeo, it is definitely not bad. At least, it won't be grown up eating.
The Goryeo woman's kung fu in making dog meat is definitely a must, especially after Yun Hao contributed the Yun family's secret Lao Gan Ma hot sauce. Li Er ate more happily, and poured down the high head pot with a big gulp.
Yun Hao could only accompany him with a red neck, and now he missed Wei Chigong very much. This guy just likes to drink this kind of wine, but this kind of banquet is not something that Yun Hao can choose guests at will.
After pouring a large bowl of head pot and burning, Li Er's face was as red as blood. This made Yun Hao very worried, a class of hypertension patients was so troubled, Yun Hao was very afraid that he would have cerebral congestion on the spot. In this way, the hat of the eldest grandson Shunde was buckled on his head, and the emperor was drunk to death, I don't know if this crime is considered a murder.
Li Er is a Ming Jun, and the difference between a Ming Jun and a faint Jun is that he knows moderation. After pouring down a bowl of extremely strong head pot wine, the wine in Li Er's cup was replaced with grape wine.
"The first time I saw you, you relied on this liquor to save my life. You're almost thirty years old, and I remember you were eight years old. Time is like a wild donkey, and before you know it, twenty years have passed. After drinking, Li Er seemed to be very nostalgic.
People begin to get old when they have memories, and Yun Hao noticed that Li Er is also in his forties. No matter how shiny the hair is combed, there are still gray hairs on the sideburns.
Yun Hao didn't speak, not because he didn't want to say. But the head pot just burned into the stomach and rebelled, he didn't dare to open his mouth for fear that a mouth would squirt out. In front of the emperor, this is too embarrassing.
I finally pressed the wine of rebellion, and ate a large piece of dog meat and pressed it.
"To be honest, I feel like you fell from the sky to my Li family. There are many Yuanmou Honor schools, but in terms of credit, you can compare to Liu Wenjing! Li Er's sentence is very high, and he wants to inform Liu Wenjing that he was once worshiped as a scholar. In the Li Yuan Dynasty, that was a once powerful figure. When he was most arrogant, even Li Yuan's favorite minister Pei Lin had to stand aside.
Yun Hao suddenly became alert, and he knew very well what happened to Liu Wenjing. Compare yourself to him, what do you want to do!
"But I feel that you are always hiding, hiding from my father and hiding from me. You don't want to give you an official position, and you are not keen on titles and fiefs. You always say that you can do it for a big official who gets a lot of money but doesn't have to work, and can be bullied.
But how can there be such an official in the world! If there were, I would like to do it. The night before the Xuanwu Gate, you told me that being the emperor was a chore. At the time, I scoffed, but now that I think you have a point.
Every day, when I review the recital, I always think twice. As soon as the pen falls, everything is over! The territory is getting bigger, but my enemies are growing. With such a large country in control, I am becoming more and more powerless. Do you know, the number of pieces burned in Zhongshu Province alone reaches 3,000 catties every day.
Finally, there are Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Keming and other virtuous ministers to assist me, and they can barely govern this country. But they are all civil servants, and the fierce generals under my command are like clouds. But there are very few handsome talents who are really in charge!
Li Jing is one, but he is old now. I went to see it before I went to see Liaodong, and my legs were so swollen that I couldn't get out of bed. A generation of handsome talents, now paralyzed on the kang all day long, dying of old age!
Li Ji is also one, but his mind is always elusive. Many times, I can't see through his mind. What about Hou Junji? It's half a year, when it comes to the ability to command the troops, you are the first handsome talent in my Tang Dynasty. Li Er sipped the grapes while looking at Yun Hao, who was eating dog meat.
"Your Majesty! It's better for the minister to eat and wait for death in Lintong, and of course it's okay to take the soldiers for a month or two. But after a long time, the minister couldn't bring it at all. You go out and take a look, in order to boost morale, the ministers are about to become old bustards. Of course, Yun Hao knew Li Er's thoughts, this was to make himself the secretary of the military department.
Du Ruhui was abolished by Li Er, and now he is still angry in Sun Simiao's medicine house, delusionally trying to carry himself out on a bad errand. Lao Tzu is not working, he lives in Chang'an and has to commute all day. Lao Tzu's natural awakening will you pay compensation?
"Aren't I a companion?" Li Er narrowed his eyes and looked directly at Yun Hao. There seemed to be two fires in his eyes, and as long as they erupted, Yun Hao could be burned to ashes.
"My Majesty! Look at your exploits, destroy the Eastern Turks, destroy Gaochang, and destroy Chechi. Tuyuhun is lingering, and Xue Yantuo is groveling. The Western Turks ran far away and did not dare to commit the Tang border again. Now in the hands of the Koreans, Liaodong has been recovered.
Looking at the history books, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is nothing more than that. Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is not as good as you, and it is no exaggeration to say that you are the first emperor of the ages. Such an emperor is not worthy of assistance? So what kind of emperor is worthy of assistance?
You know the minister's temperament, let the minister go up and down all day long. Squatting in the yamen to take care of things, it is better to kill the minister with a knife. The minister is a lazy character, and the creed of life is to count the money until the hand cramps, and sleep until you wake up naturally. Your Majesty, you are not unaware of this pursuit. ”
