Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 141 Luo Bin Trusts Xu Chen
Xu Chen saw the scrutiny in Luo Bin's eyes, and immediately leaned over and said, "Master Hou, please trust Xiaosheng."

"From the moment the Marquis decided to take in Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng never thought of betraying the Marquis."

Xu Chen's eyes were firm enough to be convincing.

Seeing this, Luo Bin immediately helped Xu Chen up, and then said: "Aren't you afraid that if something happens one day, you will be killed if you follow me?"

Speaking of this, Luo Bin pursed his lips and continued: "When I rescued you, I asked you to be my military adviser, but it was just to let you live in the Marquis Mansion with peace of mind."

"Now that you know everything, I don't have to hide it anymore."

"If you are willing to stay and help me, this Marquis will treat you honestly from now on, and no matter what the outcome of the matter is, you will be tightly tied to me after all, and we will win and lose together."

"If you don't want to, I won't blame you. You can go to the accounting room to get some silver and leave now."

Xu Chen frowned slightly when he heard this, and then immediately said: "Xiao Sheng is willing to share the honor and disgrace with the Marquis."

"Okay, since this is the case, the Marquis will not shirk anymore." Luo Bin patted Xu Chen on the shoulder, and then said: "King Xia's old department will teach me tonight, you can go with me."

"Okay." Xu Chen responded, with a bit of joy on his face.

Luo Bin nodded upon seeing this, then pursed his lips slightly and said: "Xu Chen, if you exclude all factors and look at His Majesty alone, what do you think of him? Is he a good emperor?"

To be honest, Luo Bin felt more or less tormented about what they were about to do.

After all, Li Shimin was known as the eternal emperor in later generations. If such an excellent emperor was laid off because of him, he might become a sinner for the ages.

"By the way, you don't have to think about me, just listen to your heart." Luo Bin added in a deep voice.

He has always wanted to know what outsiders think of Li Shimin. After all, after being blinded by hatred, his view of Li Shimin has become unobjective, and everyone around him believes in him. It is rooted to the bone.

And it was impossible for him to grab anyone randomly from the road or from the court and ask them what they thought of Li Shimin, otherwise something might happen.

Xu Chen pursed his lips when he heard the words, and then thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty has worked hard and been diligent and frugal since he took the throne. Compared with the previous emperors, he thinks he is a qualified and good emperor."

After hearing Xu Chen's words, Luo Bin's eyes became a little more complicated, with a little hesitation on his face.

He couldn't help but start to wonder if it was right to change history for his own personal vendetta.

At this moment, Xu Chen suddenly continued: "But Lord Hou, a qualified emperor does not mean that he is really good. After all, to be an emperor not only needs to love the people like a son, but also has the ability and brains to help the people live a better life." better life."

"Although His Majesty loves now, he is incapable of loving."

After saying that, Xu Chen frowned and looked at Luo Bin again, "When Bingzhou was in chaos, it was Hou Ye who was in charge of Bingzhou so that the Turks would not dare to invade."

"When the Longyou earthquake and the imperial court were helpless, it was Hou Ye who brought food to Longyou to relieve the disaster. It should have added a lot of new food to Datang, so that countless people would avoid starvation."

"When smallpox was raging, Lord Marquis developed smallpox seedlings in time and single-handedly destroyed smallpox, so that countless people in the Tang Dynasty no longer had to fear smallpox."

"When the Supreme Emperor was seriously ill, it was Hou Ye who developed a cure for the terminal illness and made a contribution to the Tang Dynasty again."

"There are also the blood type theory and the method of blood transfusion a few days ago."

Speaking of this, Xu Chen looked at Luo Bin with more encouragement, "Master Hou, in our hearts, if you become the emperor, this Tang Dynasty will only get better and better."

"Your Majesty only has a benevolent heart, but has no ability, and his ears are soft, so he has no opinion in doing things."

"In many cases, just love is not enough, what is more important is the ability to protect the people! And you, Marquis, have this ability."

"Master Hou, now that you have decided, go ahead and do it with confidence."

When Luo Bin heard this, the boulder in his heart fell quickly. After all, he traveled from a later life, and he also had systematic help.

He knew many important historical events that happened in Dafang in the future, and he didn't believe that he would be inferior to Li Shimin as the emperor.

Thinking of this, Luo Bin felt a little sad, then patted Xu Chen on the shoulder and said, "Thank you."

Xu Chen also smiled at Luo Bin when he heard the words, then shook his head and said, "You don't need to say thank you, Lord Hou, what Xiaosheng just said was from the bottom of his heart."

"Yeah." Luo Bin responded, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go, go out for a walk?"

"Okay." Xu Chen nodded and followed.

…………

And state.

"General, my subordinates have something important to report."

A soldier hurried through the door with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

Seeing this, Hou Junji was a little more cautious, then frowned and said, "Say."

"Our soldiers discovered that the Turkic soldiers were collecting a large amount of grain, grass and horses. They may be planning a big war." The soldier said in a deep voice.

As soon as Hou Junji arrived in Bingzhou, he immediately planted a few people on the border of Bingzhou and the Turkic Grassland, always paying attention to the Turkic movements.

After all, the previous governor of Bingzhou took the blame for this, so he naturally had to be extremely cautious.

"What?" Hou Junji frowned upon hearing this, and then said, "Are you sure?"

"The Turks have just reached an alliance with us on the Weishui River, why did they quit so quickly?"

The soldier nodded and affirmed: "I'm sure, this matter is of great importance. I don't dare to talk nonsense."

Hou Junji was also a little confused when he heard the words, if he had known that there were so many things going on in Bingzhou, he would definitely not have come to take over this mess without saying anything.

But until now, Hou Junji could only sigh in resignation, "How many soldiers and horses are there in Bingzhou now?"

"General, if you add them up, there are almost 3000 people." The soldier replied in a deep voice.

Hou Junji frowned when he heard the words, and then waved his hands and said: "Forget it, send an order to rectify the troops and horses, and send more people to guard the border. If there is any movement from the Turkic side, report it to the general immediately."

"Yes." The soldier replied.

"Are Bingzhou's grain, grass and war horses enough now?" Hou Junji said with a slight frown.

After all, if Gong wants to be good at his work, he must first sharpen his weapons. When the Turks really come in, he must have these things ready.

The soldier frowned, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "Bingzhou hasn't experienced a war for a long time, and neither the horses nor the food and grass are enough."

Hou Junji heard the creases between his brows deepened, "What should we do? If the Turks really go south, we don't even have food, grass and war horses. Isn't it equivalent to giving them for free?"
