Chapter 412: Gratitude Zero
No blessings!
In fact, this is really not modest.
Purple fish bags? Is I, Chen Zhengtai, still lacking attention?
As for entering the palace at the moment? Maybe many people think this is an honor, but in Chen Zhengtai's opinion, this is not necessarily a good thing.
If in this harem, which concubine who is almost unfavored is inexplicably pregnant, then whose is this?
It's not me Chen Zhengtai, someone has to believe it.
So Chen Zhengtai decided to excuse himself again and again, so that His Majesty could give him something affordable, even if it was to give a few more pieces of land.
But Li Shimin insisted: "Regardless of whether you and I are monarchs and ministers, but it is disrespectful to say that the elders give it, and it is irreverent." I can't just excuse myself like that. That's it, in the future, you must often enter the palace to visit your queen mother and see your mother's body. ”
This can be regarded as the rhythm of the words to death, Chen Zhengtai felt speechless to refute, so he had to say obediently: "Oh." ”
Li Shimin immediately set his eyes on Changsun Chong's body.
He now suddenly found that this nephew was really likable.
Although I always thought that Changsun Chong was a confused child in the past, but now I ...... It is very pleasing to the eye when looking horizontally and vertically, so he said to the eldest grandson Wuji with emotion: "Wuji, you gave birth to a good son." ”
This short sentence couldn't be shorter, so that the eldest grandson Wuji, who had experienced the roller coaster, was at a loss for a while.
After all, at the beginning, he was still immersed in the pain of his sister's death. Turning his head, he found that his son had actually ordered Wulou, and the eldest grandson Wuji's first reaction at that time was that it was going to be finished. But who knows, in the blink of an eye, great sorrow turned into great joy again, it turned out that the son burned Wulou because he wanted to save his aunt. And his own sister-in-law actually came back from the dead.
As soon as he thought of this, he felt that his brain was a little numb today, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, this life is really impermanent.
Immediately afterwards, Your Majesty's sentence that you gave birth to a good son made the eldest grandson Wuji's heart suddenly bloom.
Of course, this is not because his son has been praised.
But he knows very well that His Majesty's attitude towards Chong'er has changed fundamentally, and once His Majesty's attitude towards Changsun Chong becomes trust, then it will be of great benefit to the future of the Changsun family.
The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, dog...... There is no form, and you dare to burn ......"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a relaxed expression: "It's okay, it's just a martial tower, as long as Guanyin is safe, even if the Xuanzheng Hall is burned, it will be meritorious." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded hurriedly, he still knew that His Majesty cared about his sister!
Half an hour? I boiled another bowl of porridge and gave it to Queen Changsun to eat, and Queen Changsun recovered better? At this time, he was conscious, and learned that Chen Zhengtai saw his symptoms? For first aid? Dare to take the eldest grandson Chong to Wulou to set fire, I can't help but sigh in my heart.
At this time, it is inevitable to say to Li Chengqian; "Prince? Your senior brother is a very capable person, and the age difference between the princes and you is not small? Between your brothers? It's hard to help each other. But Chen Zhengtai is not only your brother-in-law, but also your brother-in-law, you have always been anxious? Listen to him in everything. ”
This is the true words of Empress Changsun.
Motherhood? How could he not know his son?
This son of his own, smart is smart? The only fly in the ointment? It's just that the temperament is not good, to put it mildly? Such an unstable temperament? In fact, it is not suitable to be the son of heaven.
But he's the eldest son? He was born again, will he not be the Son of Heaven in the future? Who's going to do it?
Just when Fang Cai was about to die, when Empress Eldest Sun thought that she would be forever cut off from this world, in addition to regretting this world, she was worried about this son.
Thinking that without himself in this world, without his own protection and protection, the emperor has such a steely temperament, and with the prince's brilliant temperament, there is no one in this world to reconcile their father and son, God knows what will happen in the end.
Once any prince is deposed, the end is extremely tragic.
Empress Eldest Sun felt that she had died once, and because of this, she knew that life could encounter misfortune at any time, so she made such an explanation.
She has always felt that Chen Zhengtai has a good temperament, is also loyal, and is definitely a person who can entrust his life, he rescued her today, and has a huge stake, if she can't wake up, the Chen family is afraid that the future grace will be gone. But even so, Chen Zhengtai still stepped forward, which is not something ordinary people can make up their minds about.
Let the prince discuss everything with Chen Zhengtai, so that the eldest grandson queen can rest assured, and she will really die in the future, and she can also be blinded.
Li Chengqian's eyes glanced at Chen Zhengtai gratefully, and then responded obediently: "Yes, Erchen remembers." ”
"That's fine." Empress Eldest Sun had a look of relief on her face, she knew that Li Chengqian was not an obedient and obedient person, but ...... seems to be able to listen to this sentence, these two boys have a good temperament, and they are playmates, they have been together for so many years, and they have never blushed.
Empress Changsun immediately said: "Your Majesty, the concubines are a little tired, take a rest, now that there is nothing to do, Your Majesty should not worry." ”
Li Shimin carefully observed the complexion of Empress Changsun and felt that it was good, and finally put his mind at ease at this time.
So he said: "That is the case, then Guanyin has a good rest." ”
After that, he took the prince and Chen Zhengtai and others out of the dormitory.
Immediately, Li Shimin personally went to Wulou, the fire here had been extinguished, and the eunuchs and guards on duty were all frightened and came to ask for guilt.
Li Shimin said happily: "What are you guilty of? Speaking of which, you still have merit for fighting fires, and each of you will be given a golden cake. ”
Of course...... After all, it is a good hall, there are a lot of Li Shimin's beloved things in it, and I don't know if it has been rescued, Li Shimin still feels a little pity, but compared with the life of the eldest grandson, these are obviously insignificant.
He was still in a good mood, and turned back to everyone with a pleasant face: "Go, go to Wenlou, teach people to make tea, I haven't been so relaxed and happy for a long time." ”
So everyone followed Li Shimin to the Wenlou, which was on the left side of the Xuanzheng Palace, opposite to the Wulou, but Li Shimin didn't come often, he didn't like the name Wenlou, it was too sour.
When he entered the building, he sat down first, and then ordered a seat.
Li Shimin sighed and said: "You are all my dear relatives, and it is difficult to get together on weekdays to talk privately, but today it is rare to get together." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said: "It's the minister's fault, there are fewer people who move around on weekdays." ”
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Wuji used to call me Erlang, but now...... There is more time to shout His Majesty than to shout Li Erlang, and his speech has become much more restrained than before. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled, and now there was a sudden accident of the eldest grandson queen, which seemed to make the eldest grandson Wuji feel a lot of emotion, life is so fragile, some people may not see it, these years, he is obsessed with officialdom, and he is figuring out people's hearts every day, and now there is suddenly a big Jiangdong that will never return, and people should still cherish their current thoughts.
Although Li Shimin wanted to say something private, a group of big men got together, and soon this topic paid attention to the DPRK and China.
Li Shimin said: "Baekje is there...... It was heard that the crown prince had ascended the throne, and the crown prince became the new king of Baekje. And the current king of Baekje is still in Chang'an. Baekje may have sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty and will arrive in Chang'an soon, Zhengtai, you should know about this Baekje country, what do you think? ”
Chen Zhengtai said: "Baekje has been established for 400 years, and this is the land of Samhan, and their suzejong has deep roots there. It's easy for me to defeat them. But if the Tang army was sent to occupy their state capital and turn Baekje into a state county, I am afraid that it would be a little difficult. It's not that it's completely impossible, it's just that the cost of occupation is too high, and there is a constant resistance to eradicate it, which is afraid that it will lead to a shortage of money. And...... Taking Baekje will inevitably arouse the vigilance of Silla, and at that time, will my Datang want to reorganize Silla again? Even if we took Silla and the Wa Kingdom, these three kingdoms, as far as our Tang Dynasty is concerned, are temporarily blocked by land, this time we defeated them, entered the royal city, and tied up the hostile Baekje king to Chang'an, which has formed a huge deterrent to Baekje. Therefore, the sons thought that if the crown prince sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to make friends with my Tang Dynasty, as long as they were willing to obey and be willing to regard the Tang Dynasty as a superior state, then ...... It's not impossible. ”
Li Shimin nodded in agreement and said: "Fang Qing and others also think the same, just stop at the point." ”
Chen Zhengtai then smiled again: "But if it stops at the point, it won't work." ”
"Huh?" Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai suspiciously: "You go on." ”
Chen Zhengtai said: "Let it be a vassal because it is inconvenient for my Tang Dynasty to control." But this does not mean that I Datang only takes its name. So what Erchen means is...... This Baekje ...... What is at stake is the basic national policy of our Tang Dynasty to restrain the vassal states to the outside world, and it is also a flaunt for the future vassal states. So...... Be cautious. ”
Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai thoughtfully: "It seems that you have your own ideas." ”
"I can't talk about ideas, what Erchen means is that if Baekje wants to be a vassal, in addition to the necessary so-called tribute and vassal, it also needs to meet a few requirements of my Datang. If not, don't want such a vassal state. One of them: since it is a Tang vassal state, then, my Tang Dynasty, still needs to send a liuguan to Baekje. ”
"Dispatch a rogue officer?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "Since you don't care about the state and county, what do you do with sending officials?" ”
Chen Zhengtai said: "This liuguan, of course, is not directly managing their people, but like the envoys they sent to the Tang Dynasty, in order to conform to the will of the people of Baekje, my Datang should send liuguan to arrive in Baekje, and after Baekje, establish an official office, duty, of course, is to monitor the actions of the monarchs and ministers of Baekje, if there are Baekje monarchs and ministers who harm the people of Baekje, can I Datang sit idly by?" Or, if there is an envoy from my Tang Dynasty to Baekje, it is natural that the liuguan will be responsible for the reception. There are also merchants and remnants of the Tang Dynasty, who transit here, and also need the Liuguan of Baekje to handle related matters. ”
Li Shimin nodded secretly, just sent some personnel to go, thinking that the backlash in Baekje would not be very intense, and some officials in Datang were overcrowded, so it didn't hurt to throw some out.
Li Shimin said: "You mean, send an envoy?" ”
"Not a messenger." Chen Zhengtai said very seriously: "Instead, let Baekje set up a special official office, this official signature, can be called the Supervision Yuan or the Imperial History Yuan, etc., the chief official is sent by my Tang Dynasty, it is best to choose from the imperial history, after arriving in Baekje State, it is responsible for recording the movements of the Baekje court, correcting the Baekje Baiguan court, investigating and arresting the corrupt and corrupt Baekje officials, and at the same time, under this supervision Yuan, there is also a special prison to be responsible for interrogation and detention." Of course, nominally, this Supervision Yuan is still subordinate to the Baekje Kingdom, but all the officials are appointed by the imperial history sent by my Tang Dynasty. ”
Li Shimin frowned, like this...... Baekje may not be willing to accept it, doesn't this mean that half of the judicial power is handed over to Datang?
Of course, the current country of Baekje can be described as stormy, and it is difficult for them to accept it.
"Other than that." Chen Zhengtai continued: "We also need to let Baekje open up a port, so that our Datang can build a water village in Baekje, so that my Datang can station some sailors. Now that the sailors of Baekje have been completely wiped out, and they are now facing the threat of Silla and the Goguryeo people, I, Datang, am willing to protect them with sailors, and I think they will not accept it. ”
"The third is to allow all prefectures and counties in Baekje to trade with our Tang Dynasty, and even establish a commercial hall for our Tang merchants to rest and communicate."
"Your Majesty, with these three articles, this can be regarded as having the reality of being a vassal, not that my Tang Dynasty only takes the title of Baekje." Chen Zhengtai seems to have thought deeply about this.
Seeing that Li Shimin was still deliberating, he patiently analyzed: "The establishment of the Supervision Yuan has an advantage, on the one hand, it can monitor the monarchs and ministers of Baekje and make them completely obedient to our Datang, and on the other hand, it can also punish some corrupt people and win the hearts of the people of Baekje." If someone is against Tang, they can also be choked in the name of greedy ink. The establishment of the water village, on the one hand, allows my Tang Dynasty sailors to protect the merchant ships of Baekje, and also enables my Tang Dynasty to have a new supply point, once the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo go to war, the Tang Dynasty sailors can be dispatched from Baekje and Sanhae at the same time, so that Goguryeo can not take care of each other. What's more, the stationing of military horses can also make the Baekje monarchs and ministers dare not act arbitrarily, and it is to protect the authority of the Supervision Yuan. Third, the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce is a large-scale trade in Baekje, and in the process of trade, our Tang merchants can go deep into their prefectures and counties, and establish stable communication channels with local clans, nobles, and even state and county officials, which can not only make money and sell the treasures of our Datang, but also make the most basic state and county in Baekje no longer be inseparable from my Datang. ”
