Chapter 1079: Splitting the Ground and Sealing the Territory
"Gonggong Song, has Your Majesty gotten up?" Outside the big tent, the eldest grandson Wuji looked at the big tent of the Chinese army and asked with some hesitation.
"Back to Lord Changsun's words, Your Majesty didn't sleep all night last night." Song He approached the eldest grandson Wuji and whispered: "Several highnesses in Beijing have sent a letter, Your Majesty watched it all night last night, and he didn't rest. ”
Eldest Sun Wuji nodded, he naturally knew about the letter from Beijing, otherwise, he wouldn't have come over now, in the final analysis, I didn't want to hear what Li Xin really thought about those princes, I was originally curious about Li Xin's inspection of the princes, and now that the results are out, Eldest Sun Wuji was the first to run over early in the morning.
"The emperor didn't say anything last night?" Eldest Sun Wuji glanced around and asked in a low voice.
"Nope." Song He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty just sighed deeply, and then didn't say anything, staring at the direction of Liaodong City for half a night, and the slave didn't know what Your Majesty thought in his heart." ”
"Is it an auxiliary machine outside?" At this time, Li Xin's voice came from the big tent, and the voice was still so loud and majestic, and the eldest grandson Wuji was slightly stunned. Hurriedly nodded to Song He and entered the big tent.
"The minister is here."
"What are you doing out there? What's going on in the tunnels? What caught his eye was what Li Xinzheng was writing on a few cases, and the eldest grandson Wuji didn't dare to step forward, so he could only stand in the distance.
"It is estimated that we will be able to reach the city in these two days, but at this time, we still need the cooperation of the army, after all, Gai Suwen and Jiang Yishi are also famous generals of Goguryeo, at this time, I am afraid that although they dare not come out to fight, it is still very easy to destroy our plan in the city." Eldest Sun Wuji hurriedly said.
"Well, you let Su Dingfang and their cavalry practice outside the city to confuse Liaodong City, but I see that Gai Suwen and they have given up resistance, otherwise, they won't see Gai Suwen come out these days, but Jiang Yishi commanded the army on the city wall to stop us from piling up dirt mountains." Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Also, you immediately send an edict to kill the people who rebelled last time, no matter who they are, kill all of them." ”
"Your Majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned by Li Xin's words, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the killing of more than 10,000 people is naturally a trivial matter, but these people are intertwined in the court, if they are all killed, I am afraid that everyone in the world will say that Your Majesty is cruel." The minister thought that he could be treated differently, and that the first evil person should be killed, and the rest of the people should be recruited as the best. ”
"If you don't kill them, how can you warn the latecomers?" Li Xin shook his head and said, "Auxiliary, even your nephew thinks that these people should be killed, how come they have become so merciful when they come to you." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was shocked in his heart, he never thought that it was Li Chengzong who suggested killing these people, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the King of Han is young, and he doesn't know what is going on here, if it is spread out, everyone in the world will think that it was the King of Han who suggested that His Majesty should kill these rebels, this, in the future?" The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Xin, but he didn't say anything, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Look at these princes, only Cheng Huan suggested that I kill all these traitors, the rest of the princes suggested that the first evil be killed, and the rest of them were confiscated or exiled. But I agreed with King Han's suggestion, do you know why? Li Xin threw aside the recital on one side and said: "The other princes' suggestions are not bad, first, this is not my proposition, second, these propositions are not theirs, third, and most importantly, I want to weaken the family, but the power of the family is intertwined, relying on me alone, obviously I can't complete such a task, so the king of future generations must accept this proposition of mine, at a young age, I know that I compromise with these families, such a successor, I don't like it." These guys all consulted other people before they came to such a conclusion, and only King Han made a decision himself. I love this decision. ”
"Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness the King of Han has made a decision, this decision will make everyone in the world think that the King of Han is cruel, a tyrannical king, how can he rule the world?" The eldest grandson Wuji defended without hesitation.
"People of the world? Are you talking about those big families? I never thought that these people would really listen to me in the future, all they thought about was the interests of the family themselves, and when they took the interests of the court to heart. This time, knowing that I was leading the army to the east, it would be okay if I didn't cooperate with me in the back, and I still rebelled in the back, I didn't dare to ask for such a courtier, and my son didn't dare to ask for it. In that case, it is better to get rid of them now. Li Xin said indifferently.
"Your Majesty, this?" The eldest grandson Wuji was always embarrassed to say that those big families didn't dare to trouble Li Xin, but they would find trouble with Li Chengzong.
"No one dares to shake the status of Chengzong, of course, he must have the ability to take on the Tang Dynasty, I have given him a chance, and he himself must grasp it." Li Xin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji and said: "Rebellion, it has been intolerable since ancient times, I don't have a strain, those big families should feel lucky, asking too much is not good for themselves." ”
"Yes." After hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji sighed silently in his heart, he knew that Li Xin had made up his mind, and his heart suddenly became a little complicated, happy that Li Chengzong had obviously passed Li Xin's test, but he was also worried that in the future, Li Chengzong would face a more complex and sinister political environment.
"These big families, I naturally have a way to solve it, you don't have to worry, Liaodong is about to be captured by my Tang Dynasty, from the place east of the Yalu River, I decided to canonize the meritorious ministers, the marquis thirty li, the county prince one hundred li, the national prince two hundred li, auxiliary, you can pass on the news, in addition to Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, I also decided to reward the grassland, all the tribes on the grassland, as long as they make military achievements, they can get a reward, Linyi and other southern lands, I decided to reward the family family." Li Xin said with a smile.
"Your Majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes lit up.
"Who will be rewarded where, who can be rewarded, you and Wei Qing will draw up a concert, and I will go back and review it." Li Xin smiled: "I don't believe that in the face of absolute interests, those big families will still remember those relatives?" I'm afraid that the fewer the numbers, the more they will get! It doesn't seem that there is much unity within these families! Remember, the lands that are divided by the people of the great family cannot be together. ”
"Your Majesty." Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't help but say. In this way, not only can the family be appeased, but also the family can be split together, weakening their power. (To be continued.) )
