As for Li Ke, the king of Wu, he was also brought out of prison to be sentenced in the main hall on this day, although he was not the main person in charge of this incident, but because there was such a big problem under his rule, Li Ke, the king of Wu, was responsible for dereliction of duty and dereliction of prison, so he was punished for three years.This result was obviously a light hair, which made Empress Changsun feel a sense of frustration, and abolished such a big Zhou Zhang, not only did not trip Li Ke, but damaged his image in the emperor's heart, and the gains outweighed the losses, but didn't the brother say that this matter was foolproof?
What went wrong?
Is Li Ke's background too strong?
Or is it the unprovoked interference of the Du family?
Is His Majesty a hand and eye that wants to protect his son?
Or is it because of Li You's incursion?
The queen thought about it, but she didn't come up with a reason.Li Ke, the king of Wu, stayed in Chang'an for three more days, and the emperor summoned him before leaving."
Someone suggested to me that I could change your seal to another place as punishment, but I rejected it."
The father and son sat opposite each other, each with a cup of tea, and Li Er seemed to be chatting.Li Ke was terrified in his heart, and said respectfully: "Thank you father for your kindness, the child must remember the lesson!"
”Li Er, who was on the other side, was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, you should indeed remember the lesson, the young eagle will soar into the blue sky sooner or later."
Ke'er, I never believed in my heart that you would rebel, but do you know why I still put you in prison?
”"Father is refining his sons!""
Not exactly.You have to understand that born in the royal family, it is impossible not to be exposed to power and scheming for a lifetime, I cannot protect you for a lifetime, only self-improvement is the only way to protect yourself. ”Li Er explained.Li Ke stood up from his seat and saluted respectfully: "The child remembers the teachings of his father. ”Waving his hand to signal the other party to sit down, Li Er continued: "I have an idea for you to do."
The land south of the Yangtze River is suitable for building a powerful navy for the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty only has a navy in Lingnan, and it is not that I can't believe the loyalty of Feng An, the Duke of Geng Guo, but it is better to be alone than a hundred flowers.Datang has almost swept all the surrounding countries, and the future world may be fighting for hegemony on the sea, so this second force must be in the hands of the royal family, do you understand?
”Li Ke muttered: "But the child has never been in contact with the navy, and I am afraid that I will not do well" "Jiangnan built a shipyard, and Lingnan sent people to build it, I have already explained this matter, as for the formation of the navy and the selection of generals, the military department will have a resolution, and you have the right to choose who to use when the time comes, there are people under you, and there is the support of the country behind you, as long as you work hard, you don't have to worry about doing bad things." ”"Then can you ask the fifth brother-in-law to help me?"
Li Ke asked.Li Er glanced at the other party and scolded with a smile: "You really dare to think that lazy cat can't even urge me, you still want to borrow it?"
As long as you can tell him to go with you, I won't interfere. ”Forget it, Li Ke is self-aware, and it is estimated that there will be no play."
In the future, the Tang Dynasty will have at least four powerful navies, one of which is the newly defeated Goguryeo side, which will be established in Beisha City.The other is ready to be established in the port of Qizhou, the third is your Jiangnan Navy, and the fourth is Lingnan.Each has its own division of labor, but yours is the strongest, and the initial size requires 100,000 permanent troops. ”Lakh?
Li Ke was stunned, Datang is a government military system, if every big war is a temporary convening, it is really a normal army, Chang'an City does not have 100,000, this navy will be 100,000 permanent?
Did the imperial court raise these soldiers?"
Father, let's not talk about military expenses, the sons themselves have no experience in leading 100,000 troops, are you talking too much?"
Li Er smiled and said: "Not much, Shaoqing told me that the income from maritime trade can raise a million troops, and these 100,000 I am discounted."
You don't have to worry about the generals' affairs, this time I leveled Goguryeo, a group of young boys have been trained, and they can be used, and a few will be allocated to you when the time comes. ”Well, if that's the case, there's really nothing to worry about.After finishing business, the father and son chatted while drinking tea, until the end of a pot of tea, the two got up.Li Er patted Li Ke's shoulder and said earnestly: "Son, if I am not here for a while, these 100,000 navy will be your talisman in the future, you have to remember it clearly, and don't let others calculate it in the future." ”Li Er, who has worked all his life, knows very well in his heart that the throne cannot be passed on to his favorite third child, then it can only be passed on to the son born to the queen, the eldest grandson's family can calculate Li Ke once, and he will calculate him a second time in the future, as a father, he doesn't want to watch his son die tragically in the future.As for Li Ke's military power, whether he will raise troops and rebel, don't worry at all, it is a 100,000 navy, and it can't go ashore, Datang is now very well managed in various state roads, 100,000 cavalry may be a hidden danger, but 100,000 navy, it is impossible at all, so this move can be said to kill two birds with one stone, the best of both worlds.Li Ke didn't understand his father's hard work, and kowtowed goodbye to Li Er with tears in his eyes.A few days later, the scouts reported that the pursuers of Li You, the king of Qi, had failed and had not caught up, and that Li You, the king of Qi, had returned to his fiefdom.Immediately afterwards, the news of Li You, the king of Qi, rebelled, and the government and the opposition were shaken for a while.The people didn't know what it meant, and they said in their hearts, what's going on this year?
The prince's successive rebellions?
Is Datang's foundation unstable?
This time it was a real rebellion, Li Er was really angry, and scolded Li You for being a beast.Of course, almost no one regards Li You's rebellion as the same thing, a little kid, with no foundation and no strength, how dare he raise an army to rebel?
At most, it is a party to the disaster, and sending someone to restrain him can be stopped.Li Er is good, he didn't send people at all, and directly sent an edict to the past, and Li Ji, who was on his way back, joined the Lingnan Navy and went to Qizhou by sea to quell the chaos, so His Royal Highness the King of Qi was suppressed and captured in less than 30 days after he started his army to rebel, which also included more than 20 days of transmitting information back and forth.The most bizarre thing is that the returning army escorted the captives of Goguryeo all the way, and now it is good, and there are more captives of Li You, the king of Qi, and a group of people, this picture is like Du He's gang of boys who destroyed two countries.On the side of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce, Wu Zhao received a strange order from Du Shaoqing to send grain and grass to the northeast again, and the scale was no less than the last war.What does this do?
The war is over, the two sides have fulfilled the agreement, our side only needs to pay, and the Du Family Chamber of Commerce has prepared enough goods to serve as military expenses for the performance of the contract, what are you doing with the grain now?
Is it possible that there will be another big war?
But who to hit?
It seems to be already snowing in Tohoku at this time.Wu Zhao, who was full of doubts, went to her husband to theorize, and Du Shaoqing said leisurely: "Last time, I was making military food, and this time I was giving food to help our people, and the nature is different." ”"Our people?
Husband, do you want to be transported to Yingzhou for disaster relief?
But that's not right, obviously you're talking about transporting grain to Buyeo City. ”The more Wu Zhao listened, the more confused he became.Du Shaoqing took out a small piece from the study and handed it over, "This is a map of the countries in the northeast, and from this winter, all of them will be assigned to the Tang Dynasty." ”"What???
That's impossible!
We just borrowed troops to destroy the Goguryeo country, and a few other small countries are not wrong, you won't be after driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, you still want to have a fisherman to make a profit, so that the Tang Dynasty can take advantage of the situation and unify the northeast, right?
Oh my God, husband, you're too ruthless, aren't you, all these tricks are used?
Wouldn't it make the world scold you shamelessly?
Stab in the back?
”Wu Zhao exclaimed.Du Shaoqing pressed his wife on the chair and comforted: "Don't worry, have you forgotten the truth of not fighting in winter?"
How can it be so easy to borrow troops from Datang, you guessed wrong. ”Wu Zhao asked, "How is that?"
If it weren't for taking these small countries, how could the husband say that these were the people of the Tang Dynasty?
”"Surrender without a fight!
As I said before, after this battle, less than 30% of the Hu soldiers and horses survived this time, and now they are tigers with their teeth pulled, and they surrender after being scared.Then my batch of grain went over, and I took advantage of the situation to buy those people, tsk, I am afraid this will be the largest business in the history of our Du Family Chamber of Commerce. ”Du Shaoqing said, and couldn't help but reverie.Wu Zhao grew his mouth in surprise, and kept deducing the feasibility of this matter in his mind, until finally he suddenly became enlightened, looking at his proud husband, he didn't know whether to praise or scold, and finally couldn't help but step on the other party and said, "Phew!
Villain!
You are so calculating, why don't you become an emperor?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
”"To be an emperor?
Don't make a fuss, am I at ease when the emperor has me?
”My martial arts are speechless, Du Shaoqing watched his little daughter-in-law deflated, he didn't feel a little funny, and there was a kind of cute surprise, he couldn't help but pick up the other party A month later, the generals who participated in the Northeast War came back, and the emperor led the military officials to greet them in person, and held a grand ceremony for the return of this group of young generals.This is a notorious figure in the Tang Dynasty, and now it has become a very controversial image, many people say that Du He is a prodigal son who does not change money, which is rare, but some people say that a wicked person who can poison his mother also has the opportunity to live in the court?
Why is he?
If there are such people in the court, is there any hope for Datang?
Because of Wu Qunchen's controversy over Du He, in the Taiji Palace, Li Er opened his mouth to ask what the other party wanted, after all, Pyongyang City, the capital of the Goguryeo king, was attacked by Du He as the main general, and it was not okay not to give an explanation.Du He still recalled the time when he had just returned from glory, and saw the haggard and concerned figure of the Yi man in the corner from a distance, and there was nothing else in his heart, so he gave a military salute and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Du He doesn't want to be rewarded, I just want to marry Princess Chengyang." ”The Yaqi in the Taiji Hall was silent, and no one stood up to oppose it, because everyone knew about a previous bet on this matter.Everyone was looking at Li Er's response, and Li Er avoided answering: "You have worked hard in this battle and made great contributions, won't it make the soldiers feel cold if you don't reward you?"
Let's change the conditions, since you have abandoned the military, which army do you want to enter to develop?
”"The last general is willing to exchange all his military exploits for Princess Chengyang alone, and there is nothing else to ask for!
Even if you go back to your hometown to farm in the future. ”Duhe insisted."
Hmph, will I marry my daughter to a farmer?
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered, isn't his daughter Li Lizhen just married to a countryman?
So he changed his words and said: "You and Du Shaoqing are worthy of being brothers, what's the matter?"
Want to learn from your brother?
Since you insist on not changing, well, you made a covenant with me at the beginning, one person destroyed a country, and I agreed to your marriage with Chengyang, and now do you think you are qualified?
”At this time, the young general Fang Yiai stood up and supported his friend and said: "Your Majesty, Qinglian alone commanded 150,000 troops to march from the east road to the final breakthrough of the royal capital of Goguryeo, isn't this just one person destroying the country?"
”Fang Xuanling saw that his son dared to come forward, and couldn't help but turn around and stop it with his eyes, but where did Fang Er care about this?
He was looking at Li Er eagerly, wanting him to agree.At this time, the other young generals stood up one after another, "Your Majesty, this battle to destroy the country is completely the plan of General Duhe, we recognize him as the main general, and the merit of destroying the country should be his." ”Okay, this must have been discussed, and everyone will help with the favors.Wu Baiguan was shocked for a while, and said in his heart that this group of young people is the future backbone of Datang, and now they are standing together so together, and they all support Du He, it seems that this Du family has another amazing character.The Du family brothers are martial one by one, and the first family of the Tang Dynasty is afraid that they will not run away in the future, and this Du Ruhui will really give birth to a son.I thought that now that it was like this, Li Er had nothing to say but to agree, but this emperor was eclectic, and looked at Du He with deep meaning and asked: "They said that all the credit this time is due to you, what do you think?"
”Du He gratefully glanced back at the group of robes, and then gave everyone an apologetic look, making everyone feel inexplicable.Then Du He replied to Li Er: "Your Majesty, the defeat of Goguryeo is not the work of one general, and the credit recorded in the credit book is clear, the east and west roads march separately, and the credit accounts for half of each."
Although the capture of Pyongyang City was commanded by the last general, the combined efforts of all the generals, coupled with the reinforcements brought by His Royal Highness the Grand Prince who traveled thousands of miles to Silla, otherwise, Mo said that the capture of Pyongyang City, and even this battle may be overturned.Therefore, the last general did not dare to take credit, and the destruction of Goguryeo was not considered to destroy the country alone. ”"Qinglian!
How can you say that?
”The crowd was persuaded one after another.Li Er spread his hands and said, "So, you lost the bet?"
I can't help it. ”At this time, Li Chengqian stood up and said: "Father, who doesn't know that the Manchu Dynasty doesn't know, the two of them have affection for each other, how easy is it to want to destroy a country by one person?"
Du He accounts for at least half of the credit in this battle, you will be gracious and fulfill him and Sister Chengyang!
”"Your Majesty, please be gracious!"
A group of young generals saluted and pleaded.Li Er groaned: "What do you Aiqing think?
”Wu Baiguan didn't know what the emperor meant, so he got off the donkey and echoed and said that he had fulfilled this lover.So far, Li Er has also satisfied his desire for control, that is, if you want something, it can only be a gift from me, otherwise you won't be able to ask for it, so he smiled and said: "So, then do it, it's okay" "Wait a minute!"
”Duhe interrupted suddenly.
