Great Tang Southern Emperor

"This is not possible, because this happy event is closely related to what you are doing now, Mr. Manager. This happy event is... the so-called enemy you are looking for, Mr. Manager, has been wiped out by us... Hahaha..." Cheng Chuliang said no more I couldn't help the smile on my face, and my face turned into a chrysanthemum-like smile: "Speaking of which, I still have to thank you, sir, if you didn't give us this opportunity, such a great contribution really wouldn't be worth it. In our hands... Hahaha... Really ridiculous, ridiculous, in order to cope with the prince's order, you randomly stuffed us with a mission... As a result, not only have we completed our own mission, but we have also eliminated what you wanted by the way. Finding the enemy is a great achievement, it's almost like picking it up for nothing, hahaha...

On the contrary, you searched hard in the same place but did not find any trace of the enemy. It was a waste of time and resources, but you didn't even catch a hair... If I don't notify you again, will you continue to search here for the rest of your life?It is true that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, the way of heaven is reincarnation, if you don’t believe me, look up, who will be spared by the heavens, hahaha..."

In the end, Cheng Chuliang had already spoken out what was in his heart, and these words had been held in his heart for a long time. From the very beginning when he was ordered to escort the fleet to leave, Cheng Chuliang was unhappy in his heart, even though Li Daoyun However, after all, the Quanzhou Fleet was disliked by others. As the real power controller of the Quanzhou Fleet, Cheng Chuliang had already held his breath in his heart, but he hadn't made any achievements before and couldn't vent it. He could only turn his grief and anger into Motivation, I just put all my energy into my studies... But now it's all right, Cheng Chuliang not only completed his task, but also snatched Liu Rengui's credit by the way, and now he is slapping his face in front of him again, this feeling is really refreshing ah……

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"..."

In fact, Liu Rengui didn't hear what Cheng Chuliang said later, because after the first sentence, every sentence, every word and even every stroke that Cheng Chuliang said, fell into his ears and became crisp. For a while, Liu Rengui's ears were filled with the sound of "slapping" slaps, and he couldn't hear other words at all—the sound of slapping not only fell on his ears, but also fell on his ears. When it hit his heart, every slap made his heart twitch fiercely, and his face would turn ugly.After Cheng Chuliang finished speaking, Liu Rengui's face turned black and blue, and his heart was so suppressed that he almost wanted to vomit blood.

He searched hard for the enemy's trace, but he didn't know that the enemy had been wiped out by Cheng Chuliang, he was really depressed.Originally, he planned to give the Quanzhou Fleet a little credit for escorting the merchant ships, to fool them, and there was a reason to deal with the court's accountability afterwards, but who knew that instead he gave Cheng Chuliang the great credit... If he hadn't forcibly held back, Liu Rengui felt that he He would really vomit blood -- of course, although he didn't vomit blood, Liu Rengui's face at this time wouldn't be too pretty.

Not only Liu Rengui's face was ugly, but everyone present, from the deputy governor Sun Fujia to the most ordinary sailors, but all the people in the Yuezhou Fleet, as long as they heard Cheng Chuliang's words, everyone seemed to be slapped severely. It's like hundreds of slaps, I just feel dizzy, regardless of north and south...

The ugly face is second to none, the key is the more uncomfortable heart - how much time did their Yuezhou fleet spend looking for the enemy?How many resources are wasted?Some people even died because of this, but in the end they couldn't even find the enemy's hair.

The Quanzhou Fleet, which was originally looked down upon by them and was even expelled because of this, not only successfully completed the mission, but also wiped out the enemy, which means that they have been busy in this sea for so long, but they have not even made any contribution Li Xia, on the contrary, Cheng Chuliang monopolized all the credit by mistake, and maybe even more... How can they accept this?

For a while, needles could be heard quietly on the deck, and everyone looked at Cheng Chuliang in the wrong way—they hated, they hated the sky without eyes, and they paid so much for others but got nothing, Cheng Chuliang was just escorting the ship The team arrived at the destination, but easily picked up the credit they have been asking for.They hate Cheng Chuliang even more. This credit should have been their own, but Cheng Chuliang and his fleet have mixed their hands. Not only did they take away their credit, but now they are standing in front of them proudly, arrogantly, pretending to slap their faces , beat them to shame but dare not refute...

"What kind of eyes are you looking at? Let me tell you, I didn't intend to take credit with you. When I went to Dingxiang Island, they were capturing Dingxiang Island. Zhang Jianzhi's people were almost dead, and they were all ready to die with the enemy." I can't just sit and watch the enemy kill our people, can I? Sir, are you right to say that?" Cheng Chuliang was terrified by the resentful eyes, and only now did he remember that he was in the Quanzhou Fleet On the boat, I am still so arrogant, and slap them in all kinds of faces. If they do something to themselves-they will definitely not dare to kill, but if they make trouble for themselves or find a reason to beat themselves up , I have no place to reason.

Chapter 1015

Chapter 373 It's All About You

"Forget it, no matter who deserves the credit, but since the enemy has been wiped out, this is a good thing after all, we don't need to stay here anymore, let the fleet go down, and we immediately set off for the Spice Islands." Liu Rengui thought of course I feel bad, if I knew the enemy had already left this sea area... If I didn't send Cheng Chuliang to Dingxiang Island, but sent the Yuezhou Fleet...

But as he said, the enemy has been wiped out, which is a good thing. Although he doesn't like Cheng Chuliang and the Quanzhou Fleet very much, and can even play tricks because of it, he won't kill Cheng Chuliang for this, otherwise he will not be able to go back. The confession is even more inconsistent with his own beliefs—although Liu Rengui may have various shortcomings, and he has even gradually disliked Li Zhen, but there is no doubt that he is indeed a good person, a good person with a certain bottom line, It is impossible for him to have the idea of ​​killing and silence just because of his disgust and being robbed of credit, even if he is sure to remove himself from this matter, he will not do so.

"It doesn't matter who wiped out the enemy. Whether it's the Quanzhou Fleet or the Yuezhou Fleet, they are all Datang's fleets, and they are all loyal to Datang. It's enough to be sure of this." Liu Rengui said. In conclusion, it can be regarded as suppressing the subordinates who were about to be burned by jealousy, and allowing them to regain their sanity.

"It was supposed to be like this. This time it was just my luck. In fact, these credits are not important to me. As long as it is good for Datang, I don't care who gets the credit. My son is a loyal minister of Datang. , Datang gave me the power and status I have today, even if everyone could betray Datang, it is impossible for me to betray Datang." Cheng Chuliang's words are more sincere, in fact, he seems to be a nobleman like him. The children, on the contrary, are the most loyal people to Datang, because only in Datang can they maintain their current status and continue to run amok.The identity of the second generation gave them the current power. If they lost the protection of Datang, they would be at most a rich man with some money, and they might be eaten alive by the new powerful at any time.

During the First World War, the casualty ratio of the army composed of British nobles exceeded 50.00%. Why were they so desperate?It's not because of the so-called dignity of the nobility and the glory of the family, these are actually nonsense, the real reason is to maintain their aristocratic status.You can think about it, if Britain was defeated at that time, Britain would be included in the rule of the Allied Powers. Of course, the Allied Powers would not recognize the nobles of the Allied Powers and give them special privileges. It is possible to keep part of one's property, and those who are unlucky may be directly ransacked and wiped out.

So, they are working so hard purely to keep their status, and it has little to do with the so-called glory—if they have something to do with the glory of the nobles, they can only have glory if they are nobles. What glory is qualified to talk about?

"But although I don't like you and the Yuezhou Fleet, what you said just now is still human. Speaking of it, everyone is Datang's fleet. If you don't get any benefit from it like this, it's just like this. It’s not good if you go back, and it’s His Majesty and the Crown Prince who are ashamed.” Liu Rengui’s words finally changed Cheng Chuliang’s view of this person who has always had a bad impression, but the more important reason is the last sentence Words—the two fleets can fight each other, but they must not bring the matter to the emperor.

If Li Shimin knew that the two had been fighting each other to the point of plotting and stabbing each other, I am afraid he might make a decision that neither Liu Rengui nor Cheng Chuliang could accept. But the most important reason for changing it to support, there is no one - only the bosses of the two fleets have to get to the bottom of it first, it is best to reach a certain understanding to some extent, even if it is not possible, it must be in some Let us know in advance about the matter, but don't let the two sides not match each other when the time comes, and it will be easy for people to see the flaws, that's not good.

"Oh? So, you are willing to give us the credit for destroying the enemy?" Sun Fujia's eyes lit up. If this is really the case, then this trip was not in vain.

"Why do you think it's so beautiful?" Cheng Chuliang said angrily, "Master, why should I give you the credit for my hard work?"

Moreover……

"Besides, who do you think the manager is? Is he the kind of shameless person? I'd like to give credit to you, but is the manager willing to ask for it? You can't want it, but he is upright How can an honest gentleman want this kind of cheap food?"

Well, it's clear that the anger in Cheng Chuliang's heart is not so easy to dispel. He just said something human, and in the blink of an eye, he used his guns and sticks to squeeze Liu Rengui to death. The credit for destroying the enemy is due to me and the Quanzhou Fleet , You want to get in the way, let alone the door, even the window has not left a crack for you.

"Then what do you mean?" Liu Rengui was also a little angry, you are a bit of a villain, and I, Liu Rengui, can sit upright, so how can I be a villain who corrupts other people's achievements?Do you still need to say this?What's more, in the final analysis, this is just a credit for destroying the enemy. I, Liu, still don't like it, so why do you run on me like this?

"I can say that all of this is your arrangement. We ordered us to pay attention to the traces of the enemy while escorting the merchant ship. We finally found the shadow of the enemy at sea and caught up with them on Lilac Island. Unfortunately, they have already The pier of Dingxiang Island was completely destroyed, and there was no one left in the pier patrol team. Fortunately, Zhang Jianzhi was still organizing the final resistance, and our two sides attacked from both sides, and finally wiped out the enemy." Regarding the meaning of Liu Rengui's words, Cheng Chuliang certainly listened He came out, but he didn't care. The relationship between the two parties is not good. This time, I have taken care of the overall situation by coming to talk to you. I have already been wronged.

"Alright, let's do it that way." Although he can't get the most credit, if he really reports it like this, then he, Liu Rengui, can at least get the reputation of being a good commander. As for the Yuezhou Fleet, he didn't get any credit. Now, go back naked - this is also impossible, the sea is changeable, it is not comparable to the land, there are too many uncertainties in the sea, I want to find a small group of random wandering enemies here, The role of technology and experience is too low. This is purely a matter of luck. Right now, the Yuezhou Fleet is searching hard but has not found any traces. Proved the correctness of this sentence.

Chapter 1016 Stay up late...

Chapter 274 Stay up late...

Wuzhuang Temple, Ersheng Palace, Shengji Hall, and in the Imperial Study Room.

At this time, it is already the second quarter of the ugly hour, that is, 02:30 in the morning, which is the fourth watch. At this time, most people have already gone to bed, and even those who get up early may have already woken up, but the lights in the Holy Temple are still flickering , Li Shimin was still sitting behind the book case correcting the memorial, looking at the burning lamp oil that had almost bottomed out, it was obvious that Li Shimin didn't get up early, but stayed up all night.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late at night, you should rest for a while." Hearing the sound of shifting outside, Wang Tingchu couldn't bear it. Of course, his can't bear it was not aimed at Li Shimin. I even saw Li Shimin not resting for two days and two nights in a row, so what's the point of staying up all night?

What really made Wang Tingchu unbearable was another person - on the right side of the desk, there was a small table lower than Li Shimin's desk, and there was also a person sitting behind the desk, this person was Li Zhen, Li Zhen's The table was also full of memorials, and every time he finished correcting a copy, he would be presented to Li Shimin by the little Fuzi beside him.

At this time, Li Zhen was already yawning all over the sky, and she was on the verge of falling. She was so sleepy that she almost lay down on the table. Unfortunately, he didn't dare to lie down, and he couldn't—first, he lay down on the table in front of Li Shimin, That belongs to the emperor's loss of manners, and he will definitely be reprimanded by Li Shimin. Another point is... a nail board is placed on the back of Li Zhen's chair and on the table in front of him, ensuring that as long as Li Zhen dares to lie down or lie down, the sharp Nail can teach him to be a man again in minutes.

"Ah~ha~(__)(--)(~o~)...(--)..." After yawning for a long time, Li Zhen also said: "Yes, father, it's already four It’s even worse, you’d better squint, you’ll be going up in a while.”

It's just that Li Zhen's pretended concern was immediately seen through by Li Shimin: "What's the matter? Are you sleepy?"

Seeing Li Shimin's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Li Zhen immediately became more energetic, and repeatedly denied: "Sleepy must be a little sleepy, but my son is still young, so it's nothing if I don't sleep all night, but father, you don't want to sleep. It’s the same, not only have you been busy returning to Chang’an from the north during this time, but you also have to stay up late at night to correct the memorial, which is not good for your health.”

"Okay, just say it when you're sleepy. Where did all this nonsense come from? I'm going back to Chang'an soon. These memorials are definitely not easy to correct on the way, so I can only finish it in Lingnan first. Only in this way can I rest assured. Let's go." Li Shimin explained with a light smile, but suddenly his voice changed: "Zhen'er, you should know why the emperor asked you to do this today, right?"

"Hey, it's really hard to be the emperor. If I had known my ministers, I wouldn't have fought for the position of the crown prince." Li Zhen sighed, of course he knew the reason why Li Shimin called himself to stay up late with him—was it because he was about to leave immediately? He was going back to Chang'an, and he was worried about leaving him here alone, so he planned to lead by example and educate himself on what a qualified emperor should do.

only……

It seemed a bit too exciting, seeing Li Shimin staying up late like crazy, Li Zhen was afraid—everyone said the emperor was good, but in fact the emperor was also distressed, it was difficult to distinguish loyal ministers from traitors, the harem struggled for favor, and the whole night was lit with lamps. Even if you are seriously ill, you have to go to court... No wonder the emperors in ancient times didn't live long. It's not that they didn't want to live long. It's just that the environment of being emperors meant that they couldn't live long. Especially good emperors were short-lived. a little.

"Father, tell me, what's the point of my sons and ministers fighting desperately for the crown prince?" Thinking of her future life of hardship, Li Zhen felt that the future was bleak: "Worrying about state affairs every day, fighting with all the officials, even after having children You have to educate your children, and the competition in the harem is even more dizzying...Father, what do you think is so good about this emperor? If I had known this son, I would have directly become my Xiaoyao prince."

Li Shimin's complexion darkened, and he said: "This is what I said, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. You said this to me once. Don't you plan to obey it? Since you have the ability to be a good emperor, the prince will of course accept it." It can only fall on your head, otherwise why Gao Ming is still considered excellent, but I dismissed his prince against his will? Isn't it because you are more suitable than Gao Ming? Besides, the emperor has many benefits, and I don't care about these I told you one by one in detail, anyway, you are very clear about the benefits of following me all year round."

"Hehe..." Faced with Li Shimin's tasteless temptation, Li Zhen can only repay two hehe, of course he knows the benefits of the emperor, but those are not what he wants, although he changed after coming to the Tang Dynasty He has made a lot of money, but he is still the second generation of the little rich in essence, and he is safe when he is a little rich, and he doesn't have much ambition.

Seeing Li Zhen's reluctance, Li Shimin's heart was broken, and he said angrily: "In short, the position of the crown prince has fallen to you now, and you deserve to be the crown prince even if you are inappropriate."

"It's a fact. Forget it. Let's continue to revise the memorial." Li Zhen shook her head and threw out her original thoughts. Dreams are dreams, reality is reality. compromised.

Not to mention that the current situation in Datang does not allow him to give up, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted. I am afraid that this half-constructed idea will suddenly collapse, which will cause unparalleled damage to the foundation of Datang.

Not to mention that he is now the prince and has already stood on the cusp of the storm. Although there are many crises ahead, but behind him has already become an abyss, and there is no possibility of taking a step back.Now the status of the crown prince is not only his burden, but also his umbrella, otherwise, if he dares to take a step back, those enemies who have already regarded him as a thorn in his side will definitely pounce on him and swallow him whole. , will never give him a chance to start over.

Let's just say that Li Zhen's subordinates have countless fans, and countless people expect him to ascend to the throne one day, so that they will be able to succeed in success, how can they allow Li Zhen to give up at this time?

"It's not that easy to be an emperor. Not only is it tiring, but more importantly, you must maintain an absolute sober state at all times. As an emperor, you can be indifferent to everything, but it may be because of an unintentional sentence. The following This is not a joke. Sometimes you may just say one word, and countless heads will fall to the ground..."

"Thank you, father, my son has been taught." Li Zhen knew that Li Shimin was reminding herself, and immediately bowed to thank him.

"In addition, you should not only pay attention to your words and deeds, but also pay attention to your own image among the people. Qin Shihuang and Sui Yangdi both did a good job. Why are they being criticized by the world? A lot of people are secretly discrediting them. The emperor is high above, and the people at the bottom can't get in touch with them. They get their impression of the emperor from these people. In addition, some emperors have indeed done a lot of wrong things, so the people resent Accumulation, after the outbreak erupts, that is when the dynasty collapses.

Fortunately, now that we have newspapers as the mouthpiece of the emperor, we finally got rid of one of the biggest taboos in my heart. At least with newspapers, we can fight against them. It is not so easy for them to blacken my image. "

"Thank you, father, I understand." Of course Li Zhen understands this. He came from later ages, and he understands how important a good image is to himself. Even the little stars are very clear about these reasons. Li Zhen is now the crown prince of a country, of course he understands the truth better.

"Okay, since you are sleepy, go back and rest." Li Shimin waved his hand and began to push people away: "I called you here this time to let you experience the suffering of the emperor. Now that you understand these principles, then You go back and rest."
