Li Congjia actually didn't care much about the lives of the two brothers Liu Xianping and Shouping. The Japanese royal family...speaking of it was not as threatening as the Fujiwara family.

What the cabinet meant was that they should be kept alive. Anyway, they are not afraid of causing any disturbances when they are put in Chang'an, and it can also serve as a sign-Datang is not the kind of country that will kill everything, and it is reasonable.

After all, Li Hongji and Zhao Kuangyin were a little bit too much when they fought against Korea before. If other countries think that they will die if they resist or not, why don't they resist?Maybe you can still win?

When Li Congjia thought about it, it seemed to be the same reason, so he simply let Xianping and Shouping go, and agreed to let them come to Chang'an to settle down. At this time, no matter how reluctant Li Congjia was, he would give these two brothers a title, at least a Duke.

Li Congjia was very unhappy about this, Shi Xueting couldn't help laughing seeing him like this: "Why are you like the miser you said?"

It's not a problem to have one or two more princes, and they won't be treated much anyway.

Li Congjia said unhappily: "I didn't give titles to the generals and ministers who did meritorious service. These two just surrendered and got titles. Even I feel unconvinced."

Shi Xueting pondered, this question is indeed very contradictory, but these two people are signs, and they can tell other countries that even if they surrender as the lord, they will be treated better, and they don't have to worry about being killed.

It is very problematic to use this kind of political signboard to compare with ordinary ministers.

Shi Xueting patted his head and said: "Don't think so much, as long as no one thinks it's wrong, it doesn't matter."

Li Congjia was helpless, but there was no other way. In the end, he still made Xianping the Duke of Quan and Shouping the Duke of Rong.

These two titles have surprised many people, and they don't understand why they are these two words.

Of course, the reason was extremely simple and rude. Li Congjia didn't want to see these two people, how could he bother thinking about their titles?It just so happened that one of the two emperors was called Emperor Lengquan and the other Emperor Yuanrong, so he directly took one word for each and counted them as their titles.

However, he has no way to explain this reason to everyone, so he can only express willfully: "Just think about it."

Ministers:  …

Well, as long as you are happy, it doesn't matter anyway.

The two brothers Shohei and Kenhei were transported out of the dungeon before they were killed by Fujiwara Miyai, and the remaining imperial daughters were with them. Anyway, even the emperor's life was spared, and those imperial daughters could not be killed. It doesn't matter.

But the only difference is that the two former emperors still have the title of Duke, while the Japanese imperial daughter does not have this treatment, she has no rank, she is just an ordinary girl.

On the first day Xianping and Shouping arrived in Chang'an, they went directly to meet Li Congjia. On the way here, they were forced to learn a lot of etiquette in the Tang Dynasty. Now they have met the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but they are not convinced, they still have to be respectful Salute—who made them already subordinates?

Li Congjia looked at Xianping and Shouping, and had to say that the genes of the Japanese emperor's family... are really powerful. It stands to reason that even though the women married by the emperor were all from big families, they all picked the top and best-looking ones. Married, after so many generations, they have not been able to modify their genes. These two emperors, oh, they were the former emperors, and they are really ugly.

Ugly and haggard, but compared to his younger brother Shouping, the elder brother Xianping looks a little better. I don't know if it's because he is basically a mental patient.

Li Congjia was neither gentle nor close to them, but he still chose a mansion for them and gave them a few pieces of land, so that they could barely survive.

As for the glory and the like, don't think about it. Shouping is very grateful to Li Congjia for this. As for Xianping... Li Congjia is very happy if he doesn't go crazy.

The two brothers Xianping and Shouping came to Chang'an, but it does not mean that Japan has fallen into the hands of Datang. After all, the Fujiwara family is really in power now.

If Miyori Fujiwara doesn't surrender for a day, Datang will continue to spend with him.

Li Congjia was very annoyed, he turned his head to look at Shi Xueting and asked, "You said... how about a beheading operation? Kill Fujiwara Miyai."

Xianping and Shouping can live because they can be used as a symbol, but it’s hard to say how long they can live. For details, you can refer to the real historical Li Houzhu, but Fujiwara Minai and Li Congjia don’t plan to stay. This is an ambitious man. people.

Even though Li Congjia kept taking in the younger brothers of the enemy all the way during his rise, let them work for him, and even gave them the corresponding treatment and status, but Fujiwara Mirai's kind...that would definitely come to kill one by one .

After all, even if Li Congjia didn't worry about anything, he still had to worry about Miyori Fujiwara rebelling after he recovered.

Shi Xueting looked at Li Congjia and said with a smile: "If we really want to do it, it's not as simple as beheading."

"Huh?" Li Congjia raised his eyebrows.

Shi Xueting said: "Although Japan is not comparable to Datang in terms of land area, the Fujiwara family is not inferior to some middle-class families in Datang, and it is still a rising family. This kind of family has a characteristic, that is, There are many capable people, even if one patriarch is killed, there may be others who will continue to lead the family to resist."

The corner of Li Congjia's mouth twitched: "So, what you mean is...to kill all the capable Fujiwara family directly? This difficulty...it's easier than eating Japan bit by bit."

Shi Xueting said helplessly: "The war this time is still too hasty, and there is not enough information collected about Japan, otherwise it would be enough to just kill a few leaders of the Fujiwara family."

Li Congjia was also a little emotional, who said otherwise, after all, none of them thought about fighting Japan before, even Shi Xueting thought that Li Congjia would directly attack the Kara Khanate, so he paid more attention to collecting information about the Kara Khanate, After all, no matter how powerful he is, no matter how good the intelligence department is, the manpower is limited, and the ability to analyze intelligence is also limited.

However, it was too late to say anything now, Li Congjia simply said: "Tell Guo Yu, if Fujiwara Miyori insists on not surrendering, then prepare to attack hard, and then... massacre the city!"

Shi Xueting was taken aback by Li Congjia. When he saw the coldness in Li Congjia's eyes, he knew that his owl was not joking, and that he really wanted to slaughter the city.

So he once again realized that Li Congjia should have hatred for Japan, but where did this hatred come from?Is it just because of Li Jingda's death?It seems to be and it seems not to be.

Shi Xueting could see it but couldn't see it through. After all, Li Congjia had always disagreed with the massacre of the city. When beating Korea, it was Li Hongji and Zhao Kuangyin who made the decisions without permission. Although Li Congjia didn't punish them, he scolded them meaningfully.

When we arrived in Japan, well, it was Li Congjia who put forward the idea of ​​massacring the city. What happened?

Li Congjia turned his head to look at Shi Xueting, and found that there was worry in Shi Xueting's eyes. After all, he was a partner who had slept together for so long. Li Congjia knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression, so he walked over and hugged Shi Xueting , put his head on his shoulder and muttered: "If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined, of course the punishment will be heavier."

Shi Xueting hugged him and smiled wryly, this glass of fine wine seems a bit harsh, I don't know how Fujiwara Miyori will deal with it?

Mirai Fujiwara... Mirai Fujiwara is completely dumbfounded, okay?

Li Congjia asked Guo Yu to slaughter one or two villages intentionally as a warning, telling Fujiwara Mirai Datang that his patience was running out, and he didn't want to spend it with them. After all, the army needed a lot of food and grass when they were going to fight outside, and every extra day was consumed , that is a huge sum of money.

Especially the food has to be transported by sea. Of course, they can also eat locally, but the problem is that the food in Japan is too little and too unpalatable, and the soldiers are not used to it.

Li Congjia always felt sorry for his soldiers, and when he heard that he was not used to eating, he sent a ship to bring food directly. The soldiers were also moved, so they fought even harder.

Fighting desperately these days, it is really possible to die. Li Congjia didn't care how many Japanese soldiers died, but he felt distressed even if one of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty was lost in battle!

So he gave Miyori Fujiwara an ultimatum to surrender.

Miyai Fujiwara was very hard-pressed, he had already planned to surrender before, and he handed over the letter of surrender, but Datang refused to accept it!

However, it is impossible for him to accept Datang's conditions. He can't imagine what the Fujiwara family will look like after losing power. It may be no different from those slaves at that time. Such an ending is unacceptable for Fujiwara Miyai. I would rather let the whole family be buried with Japan than accept such a failure.

The Japanese are sometimes very extreme, Fujiwara Minorai has also entered this extreme, and in this state, he actually exploded into a small universe and resisted Guo Yu's attack.

Guo Yu was also a little confused. When Lei You was around before, the real war progressed very smoothly. Miyori Fujiwara also expressed his intention to surrender. Now that Lei You is gone, he came to lead the troops, and the result was that he followed Miyori Fujiwara is deadlocked?

This is simply to say that his ability to lead troops is not good!

Guo Yu was very unconvinced, he was considered a young hero after all, he had compared himself with Lei Youzhong when he was with Lei Youzhong before, he should not be bad, if his family background was included, then he was even better than Lei Youzhong. Be stronger, how can you be ridiculed by Fujiwara Minai like this?

So Guo Yu directly became cruel. At this time, Li Congjia's order to slaughter the city had not yet come down, or Li Congjia still kept his integrity in the end. Of course, the most important thing is that such an order probably cannot leave Chang'an.

Without Li Congjia's order, Guo Yu began to implement the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the field, and bypassed the Japanese capital that Fujiwara Miyori was holding on to, but went to attack other cities, killing one by one.

For half a month, three cities were slaughtered directly.

The court only received the news half a month later, and Li Congjia was taken aback when he found out: "Fuck me, this Guo Yu...why is he more fierce than me?"

Shi Xueting was the first to get the news. He felt that it was not a trivial matter, so he told Li Congjia directly, making him ready to face the unreasonable demands made by the civil servants.

Li Congjia was also really taken aback. Before that, he felt cold-hearted because he decided to have Guo Yu massacre the city, but this massacre was only for the capital guarded by the Fujiwara family, and other cities did not have this idea for the time being.

However, Guo Yu, a brat, went straight to the kill, which made Li Congjia's scalp tingle.

In the end, Li Congjia had no choice but to burn the note with the message in the smoker, and then began to think about how to protect Guo Yu. Of course, this trouble cannot be left to him alone. Li Hongji, Zhao Kuangyin, and even Li Ping should not even think about running away!

After all, they were members of the Privy Council, so they certainly wouldn't just watch Guo Yu get screwed.

At this time, the Privy Council also got information, and Li Hongji said directly, "Your Majesty may have something to tell us."

Then... just say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here.

As soon as Li Congjia sat down and talked about this matter, Zhao Kuangyin said, "I don't think there is anything wrong with what Guo Yu did. After all, the Fujiwara family would rather die than surrender, so if you want to make him bow, you must use thunder."

Li Congjia looked at Zhao Kuangyin expressionlessly and asked, "Is the target of this Thunder method used wrong?"

Even if you use thunder means, you should deal with Miyori Fujiwara, isn't it good to attack the city directly?The capital city of Japan is probably not as good as the small border towns of the Tang Dynasty. Ahem, of course, given Li Congjia's emphasis on the border line, there are not many cities in the world that can compare to the small border towns of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin was at a loss for words when Li Congjia blocked him, so he had to look at Li Hongji who was at the side. Li Hongji gave him a dark look and then said: "There must be a reason for Guo Yu to do this. Make him do it."

Li Congjia pointedly said: "If you have a reason, you have to say it and don't look forward to the future. When the time comes, the rear will catch fire. I'm afraid he won't want to see such a scene."

Li Hongji looked at him in a daze, and couldn't digest the meaning of this sentence for a while!

Seeing his expression, Li Congjia felt a bit pained. Should he just tell Li Hongji to write a letter to Guo Yu, and make up any excuse, as long as it is not so perfunctory?How can such a thing be said clearly?

Fortunately, Zhao Kuangyin was more reliable, and immediately said: "Guo Yu may not have time to write the notes at the front, so I immediately sent a document to urge him to submit the memorial first."

Li Congjia heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt that the Privy Council should have more flexible minds. Well, the Zhao family's genes are good. As for whether Zhao Kuangyi has a problem with his character, that's how he sees it. Facing the temptation of the throne Sometimes, even individuals may change.

However, Zhao Kuangyin is only a prince now, so it is probably not worth Zhao Kuangyi's risking the world's disgrace to kill his own brother and take the position. What's more, even if his brother is killed, it is his nephew who will inherit the title.

So Zhao Kuangyi should not be so crazy, and it can still be used.

When Li Congjia was thinking about how to continue to cultivate fresh blood, Guo Yu was thinking about how to talk nonsense with the emperor, oh no, with the court.

To say that he slaughtered a small city but did not attack the Japanese capital, and only hoped that Miyori Fujiwara would know how to surrender himself, there is really a reason. In his opinion, although this city looks a bit shabby, it is the capital of Japan after all, which has symbolic meaning. You have to keep it safe no matter what, and maybe you can ask the emperor for credit at that time.

But this reason cannot be written, so he was a little worried. In the end, he just slapped his head and wrote a very exaggerated reason: the epidemic.

Li Congjia's legs went limp on the spot when he saw it. The epidemic disease in this era is almost synonymous with terminal illness. As long as there is an epidemic disease, the final control method is to send all the people who have the epidemic disease to one place to die, and no one has contact with them. Burned immediately after death.

He was stunned for a while at the memorial, and then he jumped up and said: "Hurry up, pass on the order, now martial law is starting, and everyone is not allowed to set foot on the Japanese island again! Even if the grain ship is suspended, let Let the soldiers on the island be wronged for a while."

Of course, those who can survive are considered wronged, and those who cannot survive are...

It's not that Li Congjia is cruel enough to ignore the people on the island, but that a disease has appeared in such a small place, and there are three cities in a row. Who knows where this disease will spread?The most effective way is to make Japan really an island.

Seeing that Li Congjia was a little panicked, Shi Xueting admired his rare panic before walking over and holding his shoulder and said, "Why are you excited? I didn't tell you in advance, you still don't understand what's going on?"

Li Congjia was stunned for a moment, looked up at him, and after a while, the corner of his mouth twitched: "You mean, Guo Yu is lying?"

Shi Xueting took it for granted, "Didn't you want an explanation? Oh, or didn't the court want an explanation? Guo Yu gave an explanation."

Li Congjia suddenly became angry: "Didn't you think that you might cheat yourself with this ramming?"

If Japan really has a serious epidemic, then their generals and soldiers on the island will definitely be abandoned. Even if they are not abandoned, it will be a bit difficult to return to Datang, and they must pass layers of inspections. .

I've never seen such a cheat on myself!How is the Privy Council selected?Who picks who in the army?

But the good thing is that Wenchen really stopped chasing and biting this matter. As for why the Japanese island was not blocked, everyone knew what was going on, and no one asked this question.

However, in the process of attacking Japan, there was an episode, that is, there was actually some evidence in Shouping that Funan was unfavorable to Datang.

Generally, it is a letter written by the Lord of Funan to Shouping, such as wanting to infiltrate the Tang Dynasty, sending spies, etc. Of course, it is not so clear, but no matter how cryptic they are written, Li Congjia still reads them at a glance. come out.

However, from Li Congjia's point of view, Funan's series of actions is actually not a big problem, at least it did not touch Li Congjia's bottom line. The other party may just be afraid of Datang, so they made a series of actions. However, these actions are more Defensive, not aggressive.

A strange creature like Prince Fuzinei is really... rare in ten thousand years.

However, Funan seems to be in a state of panic all day long. Finally, the monarch of Funan finally wrote a letter of credence, saying that Yiyi regards Tang as a country of brothers, no, no, it is a country of nephews, and of course Funan also wants to imitate it. Tubo called the emperor of the Tang Dynasty his father-in-law, but he did not marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty, so this title could not be called out.

Li Congjia also thought it was funny, but he didn't take it to heart. His current focus is actually not on Funan, not to mention that if it wasn't for Japan's death, he didn't even plan to continue expanding in the past two years. After all, Datang has been domineering in recent years. Let the neighboring countries are a little worried.

They were afraid that Datang would become stronger, but they could not prevent the other party from becoming stronger. Li Congjia was worried that if this continued, other small countries might really unite. It would not be a good situation for Datang to fight against so many small countries.

What's more, if these small countries unite with the Kara Khanate, the trouble will be really big. He finally made the Kara Khanate fight with the Saman Empire. Now both sides are consuming each other, and it seems that Kara Khanate The Khanate consumes more, and it is easier for Li Congjia to attack the Kara Khanate. If other small countries are allowed to join the Kara Khanate... then why is he working so hard?

Is it just to earn a little money for arms?Although... selling arms is really profitable.

So Datang seems to have gradually changed from a young man who showed his sharpness to a young man who restrained himself. From the fact that Khitan is very honest recently, it can be seen that Datang has done a good job.

Of course, there is another more important reason. Li Congjia wants to guard against the Kara Khanate and pay attention to Tubo. Now the battle on the plateau is already very fierce. Li Congjia wanted to be a chess player before and manipulate the situation in Tubo. It was successful, but he felt a little out of control now, and he needed to be more careful.

So Li Congjia, the official of Funan, didn't take it seriously, and even wrote a letter to comfort the monarch of Funan, telling him not to think too much, how the Tang Dynasty treated Funan before, it will still be the same in the future.

However, as soon as Li Congjia sent out the letter of credence, he received an urgent message of eight hundred miles: a large number of troops were stationed on the border in Funan.

And Li Cong Jiagang saw this urgent letter, and the next one came again: Funan took the initiative to attack the border towns, causing hundreds of casualties, especially the trading cities, which were the key targets. became ruins.

Li Congjia:? ? ? ? ?What rhythm?
