Datang: I was the champion in high school, but was persuaded to quit by the court

The homesick Lin Hao declined the man's kindness, slapped Huang Bo on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Your Songzhou City is not far from my Jiannan Road, you can come and drink with me anytime!"

"But I'm going to say something ugly, if Songzhou City is not built according to my expectations, you can bring your own wine, don't blame me for being stingy!"

Early in the morning, Huang Bo, who had formulated the general policy for the construction of Songzhou City with Lin Hao, nodded heavily with firm eyes, and was bound to devote all his attention to the people's livelihood of this city.

0・・・For flowers・・・

Lin Hao didn't hesitate any longer, turned his horse's head and left with Jiannan and Gyeonggi soldiers. Huang Bo led the people of the city to see him off. He didn't turn back to Songzhou City until the figure of the young general in white robe disappeared completely. .

The journey in Huiguan County was uneventful, and when Lin Hao arrived in his hometown, he fell headlong on the big soft bed in his mansion, and slept until dawn on the second day.

Yuchi Baolin had gathered [-] soldiers from Gyeonggi Province under the memorial archway in Guan County, Li Xueyan bid farewell to brother Yuchi before the battle, the turmoil in Chang'an was uncertain, so he had to leave this girl in Guan County temporarily, under the care of Master Tuolin.

Then Lin Hao brought Ma Gaoqiang and Qin Yuyan to come. Yuchi Baolin, Deputy General Su, Lu Donglin and other young and strong generals all expressed their gratitude to the people of Guan County, feeling the warmth of their own relatives.

...... 0

Lin Hao took out the soldier talisman from his bosom, threw it lightly, and it was regarded as returning to the original owner. This soldier talisman did not play any role in the war. The Gyeonggi soldiers who were assimilated by Jiannan Province came more than Lin Hao expected. Better management, he is not interested in keeping this thing.

"grown ups!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Yuchi Baolin clasped his fists heavily to his side, Deputy General Su, Lu Donglin and other soldiers also clasped their fists together with the general.

"Lord take care!"

Lin Hao responded with reason, without breaking the etiquette, but also with a bit of humor, as if the Jiannan Daotu emperor could do something.

"Everyone take care!"

"When you go back, you will get promoted and get rich. Don't forget to bring your family to visit my Jiannan Road!"

"Contribute a little vitality to Jiannan Road!"

Vitality is second, and financial resources are the key.

Qin Yuyan, who always liked to make fun of Lin Hao, made fun of Lin Hao without any scruples, causing a lot of laughter, which was peaceful no matter how you looked at it.

After the laughter, Yuchi Baolin turned his horse's head. He really wanted to see what kind of turmoil would arise in the court when he returned to Chang'an with 5000 people.

Yuchi Baolin didn't know whether it was a series of slaps in the face, or the stench of resignation, but the deputy general Su, Lu Donglin, and those ordinary soldiers who felt the same way behind him probably had the same thoughts as him.

The army of Jiannan Road is what the soldiers of the world yearn for. ......predict.

296: The emperor smiles, the old fox enters the game

Chang'an, an ancient city standing in the north of the Central Plains, has left too many legends to write, and welcomed and sent countless emperors and generals!

Once the emperor and the courtiers, it was the turn of Li Shimin to control the Tang Dynasty. He was the second emperor guarding the country. The biggest stain in his life was also the easiest reason for people to make a fuss. Undoubtedly, there was no orthodox succession. .

However, the scolders spewed out their saliva, and Li Shimin still sat firmly on the treasure seat above ten thousand.

It's just that recently the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was always absent-minded, either in a daze early in the morning, or shutting the door behind closed doors in the palace and not seeing anyone.

If it is said that His Majesty's dragon body is ill, but he still walks with strides as usual, and his political affairs are not neglected, but that attitude of not being interested in all matters is really unavoidable to make people doubtful.

In the imperial study room, there are two smoky furnaces of sandalwood, which are said to be unknown spices that are said to calm the nerves and nourish the mind. They are made of century-old poplar wood, smoked and dried by special techniques, gently scraped with a knife, and burned with incense. The light fragrance lasts for a long time.

Lying on the couch, Li Shimin looked up to see the smoke rising straight up and penetrating around the beams of the house. His calm face was not as decadent as others guessed, but on the contrary, he was radiant and his eyes were burning.

These few days, Li Shimin was really absent-minded. He was mainly thinking about the future of the chess game. In the battle between Tubo and Jiannan Road, no matter what the situation was, Datang would be considered profitable.

How to maximize the benefits and beat the caring people without offending both sides is the situation he has to consider at the moment.

This game of chess has been played until now, the two chess players Tubo and Jiannan Dao have left the field one after another, and the remaining mess is the remnants of Tang Dynasty.

Since Li Shimin wanted to benefit from the endgame, he naturally went step by step and tried his best not to make a single mistake.

Ugh!

"If you do this, you are asking me to wipe your ass!"

Sighing, Li Shimin sat up, the words in his mouth confirmed the object in his mind, with a wry smile on his face.

He and Lin Hao, a pair of enemies, were originally meant to be two opponents who wiped each other's butts. Datang's forced battle with Jiannan Road has already fallen behind. If we don't take some practical actions to fill the tension, I'm afraid the two sides will go further and further apart. further away.

The morning court on the second day was still carried out as usual, and the civil and military officials on both sides under the dragon chair had a lot of complaints about His Majesty's ambiguous attitude these days, and none of these people, who were as shrewd as an old fox, dared to be the leader.

Changsun Wuji stood first on the left, with Old Master Wei next to him. This old guy usually likes to chase after His Majesty to educate him. Why has he lost his temper recently? Looking at His Majesty's indifferent expression of wandering away from the god position, Changsun Wuji has a Bold ideas.

"His Majesty"

"His Majesty!"

After calling twice in succession, he finally brought the emperor of the Tang Dynasty back to reality. Li Shimin supported his head with his hands, not at all like the expression of the emperor who was sitting upright before. He raised his eyebrows and said in doubt,

"So it's Changsun Aiqing?"

"Aiqing, what's the matter?"

No matter what to play, they all quickly retreated to His Majesty.

The contemptuous eldest Sun Wuji didn't dare to show it on his face, but pretending to be a loyal minister was still a skill at his fingertips, he hurriedly bent down and said,

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is terrified, may I ask if your Majesty is worried about the war in Jiannan Road?"

Li Shimin sat up a little bit, but the corners of his mouth curled up in a weird way, which was very similar to the look of a fisherman when he saw a fish biting his hook.

"What is Aiqing's good plan?"

Yuchi Baolin is essentially a close friend of Princess Li Lizhi of Changle. After several experiences in Guan County, he has a friendly attitude towards the family. Although Cheng Yaojin and other generals of the Tang Dynasty are stationed in the pass, they are not brave enough to go to Jiannan. To investigate the military situation.

Yuchi Baolin, who trusted Li Shimin, sent only one copy of the battle report. Li Shimin didn't say anything, no one knew about Jiannan Dao's victory.

Changsun Wuji is a bold man, and when he saw something exciting, he was secretly delighted. He bent down even lower, and after hiding his emotions, he calmly said,

"His Majesty!"

"Since Jiannan Dao cannot be stationed outside the pass, it is better to remove the duties of the local chief officer!"

"Let me be stationed in Datang instead!"

Several civil servants who were wearing the same pair of trousers laughed softly, and the military generals beside him frowned, and spoke calmly, making it clear that the blatant act of picking peaches could not only conceal Lin Hao's intrusion into the dust, but also after the Tang army entered Jiannan Road. , the county magistrate of Xiaoxiaoguan County is not in his pocket.

"Isn't Ai Qing always advocating the marriage of the princess?"

Li Shimin stepped on his painful foot, and with a single sentence, he poked at Changsun Wuji's weakness. He had no intention of saving face for this uncle in name.

Being able to become the eldest uncle of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and win over a group of courtiers and aristocratic families, the eldest grandson Wuji is not just a bag of wine and food in the outside world. Resentment, it is inevitable that people will not think too much...  

If Jiannan Dao really can't resist Tubo's entry into the Central Plains, the chief official can't be the first to appease the people's hearts. Lin Hao, who has been reduced to an abandoned son, will bear the world's infamy and the people's dirty water, and then the Tang Dynasty will take over. In this endgame, no matter what the fight is, there is still room for maneuver.

The Jiannan Road in the eyes of Changsun Wuji and others was nothing more than a containment and consumption role in this battle. No matter whether Tubo was injured or not, he would definitely not want to face the almost complete Tang Dynasty.

As soon as the usual means of delivering food came out, the princess still couldn't escape the fate of marrying. Datang Tianxia finally adopted his own suggestion, and without Jiannan Dao Lin Hao getting in the way, it was perfect if not perfect.

Cheng Yaojin and other generals snorted coldly, but couldn't say anything to refute, and couldn't find a reason to refute.

Changsun Wuji's brilliance was in the fight against Jiannan Dao, and he couldn't find any loopholes, but when he heard Li Shimin's slightly puzzled words, his expression was still a little unnatural.

"His Majesty!"

"Tubo is deceiving people too much!"

"The minister is also thinking about Datang!"

Things like factions can be changed at will. When you are in the court, you can see, listen, think, think, think, and stand in line. This is the only way for every powerful minister who wants to climb up.

At this time, it is undoubtedly stupid to pour dirty water on Jiannan Dao. It is better to say a few good words indiscriminately to prove yourself.

"His Majesty!"

1.4

"Although this move is to apologize to Jiannan Dao!"

"But there is no other way!"

"Your Majesty is an emperor and should be considered for the world!"

"I implore Your Majesty to reward Jiannan Dao's bravery after the war!"

Perhaps the courtiers who are not familiar with temple battles will think that the eldest grandson who spoke for Jiannan Dao today has a brain problem, but only the old fox who is well versed in this way knows the tricks.

Changsun Wuji is very smart, able to understand the situation and reason, worthy of the emperor at the top, and full of people at the bottom. His own strength is outstanding, except for his own character, there is no humanity at all. In terms of courtiers alone, he will undoubtedly go farther and farther in the officialdom.

But he didn't notice the fleeting playfulness in Li Shimin's eyes. It was the first time that Li Shimin trusted his uncle, which was the humiliation of his trip to Tuyuhun. If he made another wrong move, he might lose everything.

Li Shimin smiled, Changsun Wuji entered the game!  …

297: Do your best

Emperors, generals and ministers, those who are the leader of a country with four characters, are essentially for the sake of the world. The first two characters balance the temple, and the last two characters exert force on the world. .

A mountain Confucian scholar in the former dynasty once boldly commented on temple battles after drinking, and only had a four-character comment.

The shrew scolded the street.

Although it was extremely disobedient, it also caused a lot of repercussions for a while and became a folk talk.

Ordinary people mostly laugh it off, and treat it as gossip. Only people who have truly experienced the ups and downs of officialdom for decades can taste a bit of humor that is not humane.

For example, important ministers in the court and corrupt officials, the former play with power, the latter oppress the people, scholars criticize one article after another, when did it really stop the prosperity of the aristocratic family.

Furthermore, some officials who sit in the Qingshui Yamen are full of resentment and yell all day long that "the county magistrate is not as good as the current management", but it really makes him sit in a slick official position, and he has done more than his predecessor.

For several years, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair every day, guarding the temple and watching the ugly behavior of all officials.

05

Thanks to the obscure experience of traveling to Jiannan Road twice, the cynical Guan County magistrate taught the Emperor of Tang a lesson, how can a person who can't even manage his own subordinates manage the world well.

This is a problem.

Li Shimin’s biggest benefit from Jiannan Dao is Li Shimin’s biggest benefit from Jiannan Dao if he was so angry that he vomited blood several times in Guanxian County, plus the luxury of setting up a general chamber of commerce with 100 million yuan. The foundation is the biggest gain of the Tang emperor.

People like Changsun Wuji, if kept in the temple, naturally have the function of his existence, they can be used as power in their hands, and become a tool for the superior to use power for personal gain.

Is the whole world in the mind of those in power?Or is the world in the mind of the emperor?

This is also a question worthy of deep chewing.

It's like a restaurant opening its doors to welcome customers. Xiaoer, who is tired of poverty, kicks out the common people who are also guests, and only welcomes the bright and beautiful children of rich families. After all, he cannot escape the fate of collapse.

Li Shimin put away the messy thoughts in his mind and stopped thinking about it. He sat up straight and smiled at the eldest grandson Wuji in front of him.

"What Ai Qing said is very true!"

"But if this Jiannan Dao wins, wouldn't the hearts of the people in the world be chilled?"

Changsun Wuji wanted to laugh, but he stopped. He is not stupid. From the battle report every day before the battle, the battle report every two days before the defense of Jiannan Road, the battle report every four days before the city defense, the eighth letter the night before. The Baili urgent battle report was even delayed for five days.

Changsun Wuji didn't know the content of the letter itself, but judging from the news of the soldiers on duty at the city gate, Jiannan Road had undoubtedly fallen into a stalemate in the war.

Changsun Wuji was not stupid, but he didn't think of the key point of Li Shimin's trap, and he couldn't know the battle report the night before. Although it was delayed for five days, it was the last piece of heavy news that established the victory of Jiannan Road.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this matter!"

"Presumably the chief official of Jiannan Dao will understand His Majesty's good intentions!"

"As for the victory of Jiannan Dao, in my opinion, there is little hope!"

Changsun Wuji lowered his head, and his words were so calm that he was neither humble nor overbearing. There was no intention to slander Jiannan Dao, and others could not see the great hatred he carried towards Lin Hao. Those who are ignorant would probably think that Master Changsun is Jiannan Dao. Advocates of the South.

Li Shimin frowned and lowered his head, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of this method, but in fact the old soup simmering slowly in his heart was not enough, so he reached out to add a handful of firewood.

"How about everyone going to Aiqing?"

It was hard to get His Majesty to be very interested in this, and to kill two birds with one stone and kill two birds with one stone, naturally there would be two people wearing the same pair of trousers with Changsun Wuji.

The two who walked out of the queue naturally echoed loudly, and Lu Shou gave a very constructive suggestion.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan!"

"Your Majesty may wish to draw up a gift list to reward Jiannan Dao, rewarding thousands of horses, gold and silver!"

"On the one hand, it can regain the hearts of the people of Jiannan Road, and on the other hand, it can also show the example of our Tang Dynasty!"
