"What do you want" is a very tempting topic, especially these three words are still the emperor's own words, the so-called "under the whole world, it is not the king's land", the people and things in the whole world are theoretically the emperor's alone, the emperor Longyan Dayue wants to reward Li Su with something, this kind of scene is like Li Su picked up an Aladdin magic lamp in the utility room, after rubbing and rubbing, you can have whatever you want.

Of course, people who want things also have to pay attention to proportion, not to get carried away, not to be unrealistic, if you don't know how to say that you want to be the emperor, this fun is great, Aladdin's magic lamp instantly turned into a dog's head, first chop into five sections to dry.

Now, this huge temptation is in front of Li Su, looking at Li Shimin's expression that seems to be smiling, Li Su twitched his cheeks, lowered his head and said very respectfully: "To relieve Your Majesty's worries, the duty of a minister is also the duty of a minister, and I dare not ask for credit." ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "I will reward you if I want to, don't make these false gifts, it can be regarded as repaying you for curing your little son, what do you want, although I will allow it." ”

Li Su scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the minister really has nothing else to ask for, speaking of official positions, the minister entered the province at the age of twenty, and it can be regarded as a heavy responsibility, on the title, he has been named the county marquis at a young age, and it is inevitable that he will be criticized if he goes up, on money, the minister's family is considered to be solid and rich, and he does not worry about food and clothing, Your Majesty, the minister really has nothing to want, and the minister treats the illness of Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang because she is smart and lovely, and the minister is really happy, but there is no intention of climbing to invite merit, Your Majesty must not misunderstand." ”

Li Shimin nodded: "I believe that you really like the little son, and what you do for her is also sincere, and your heart is especially valuable, so I want to say something, I told you at the beginning, if the little son can live to old age safely, I am willing to exchange half of the country for it, and this is also my sincere words." ”

Glancing at Li Su with a smile, Li Shimin said: "Now that the little son's condition is improving, I don't think you have the courage to ask for half of the country, right?" ”

Li Su hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare, the little son is favored like this, and the minister is really happy for her, as for other ......"

Li Su glanced at Li Shimin cautiously and said, "If Your Majesty must reward it, it is better to ...... Expose some of the things that the minister did in Jinyang, there is no merit and no fault, how about the two offset each other? ”

Li Shimin's face suddenly became a little gloomy, and he sneered: "What did you do in Jinyang?" Tell me about it. ”

"Well, overall, Chen's performance is still remarkable......"

Li Shimin's cheeks twitched, but he didn't speak, only snorted coldly.

Li Su had been secretly looking at his face, and seeing that he didn't have too obvious vomiting behavior for his words, Li Su suddenly had an inexplicable confidence.

That's right, I did a good job in Jinyang, what am I guilty of? In addition to throwing the black pot of provocative gate valve to Li Shimin, where are the shortcomings? Let's talk about this black cauldron...... Can I afford this pot as a small county marquis? Since you can't afford to carry it, you're doing things for you, the emperor, who will you not throw it to?

So Li Su was upright, and said: "Instigating the infighting between the two major gate valves of the Wang family and the Lu family, as well as leading the Taiyuan Wang family into the palace, everything the minister does is selfless, all for the sake of the Tang Dynasty's society, Your Majesty, the trouble of the gate valve is in terms of the community, there is no need for the minister to say more, Your Majesty naturally knows that the Jinyang Rebellion is all because of the door valve, and the gate valve has already become the trouble of the Tang Dynasty. This Jinyang Rebellion is proof of this, so ......"

"Alright, alright!" Li Shimin rubbed his forehead and said with a wry smile: "The more you talk about it, the more justified it becomes, I carried the black pot for you, you didn't thank you and apologize, but taught me a lesson, Li Su, you are getting more and more bold, what you should say and shouldn't say is stopped by me, and you don't need you to remind me of the trouble!" ”

Li Sugan responded with a smile.

Li Shimin glanced at him and snorted: "It's a good calculation, under the guise of an angel, behind my back to sow discord, in Jinyang, it is a big army to press the realm, and it is a pit and a deception, openly and secretly, the two gate valves are picked out of the real fire, you threw the black pot on my head, but you patted your ass and went back to Chang'an, but it is a pity that the ability given to you by God is all used in the crooked and evil ways, if it is applied to Sheji, I don't know how much blessing my Datang has, but it's a pity to ......"

"Your Majesty, the minister's duty is to quell the chaos, all means are aimed at quelling the chaos, the Jinyang Rebellion is settled, and the minister's task is completed, as for the means to be glorious or dishonorable, the minister has no choice. The Jinyang civil unrest was on the verge of breaking out at that time, and if it was slowed down, it would probably lead to a big change, and the ministers could only make a painful move to calculate the Wang family first......"

Li Shimin sighed: "Yes, the Taiyuan Wang family has been calculated by you, there are thousands of people in the family, and there are countless Confucian celebrities under the door, your calculation, the Wang family is about to be driven crazy by you, do you know how many people I have received these days?" Do you know how much I was scolded by those great Confucians? Do you know how many nights I spent sleepless discussions with the prime ministers of the three provinces in order to appease the Wang family? In the end, I also paid for the life of my most beloved pheasant slave......"

Li Su blinked: "Your Majesty, the Wang family was calculated first, and in the end, I had to pay a daughter to marry the heavenly family as a mount...... cough, when you are a concubine, the minister wants to come and go, and the loss should be the Wang family, right? ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, then fell into deep thought, and finally nodded, and his eyebrows gradually relaxed.

Zizheng said...... It's not unreasonable, haha! ”

Thinking about the same thing from another angle, Li Shimin suddenly smiled, with a selfish idea that all parents in the world have the same selfishness: one of the basic attributes of a son is that he can naturally harm other people's daughters and not suffer losses.

Li Su pursed his lips secretly, if you know that you still have a son who is not clear with other men, and you don't know who is harming who when you close the door, I don't know if you can still laugh......

"The Jinyang Rebellion was well pacified, of course, there are flaws......" Li Shimin glared at him unkindly, and said: "This matter, I will not be rewarded, your age, the official is too high, it will inevitably invite trouble, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"The minister understands, thank your majesty."

Bidding farewell and leaving the hall, Li Su walked under the porch of the main hall, his pace gradually slowed down, and finally stopped.

Standing in place and pondering for a moment, he finally sighed and showed a wry smile, and Li Su immediately walked towards the hall again.

Looking at Li Su who went and returned, Li Shimin was a little stunned.

"Is there anything else wrong with Zizheng?"

"Something."

"Say."

Li Su hesitated for a moment and said, "Just now, His Majesty asked the minister what he wanted, I don't know if this sentence is still counted?" ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You don't have any jokes, so you naturally count." ”

Li Su lowered his head and said slowly: "Minister...... Can I ask Your Majesty to issue an amnesty to General Hou Junji? Saving him from exile? ”

Li Shimin was stunned, and then his face gradually became a little gloomy: "This is your request?" ”

"Yes."

"Why?"

Li Su sighed and said, "Last year, the Hou family still owed me a thousand yuan......

"Tell the truth!"

"The minister just doesn't want the Tang Dynasty to lose a brilliant general, the dynasty for more than 20 years, the martial arts of Wenzhi is at its peak, every general is a priceless treasure of the Tang Dynasty, can not be lost, General Hou may be at fault, but he has been exiled to Qiongnan for a year, has been punished, if Your Majesty does not recall, the minister is afraid that General Hou will be detached from His Majesty, then the Tang Dynasty is the real loss of good generals......"

Li Shimin's sharp eyes stared at Li Su's face and didn't say a word for a long time.

Li Su's expression was calm, fearless and unashamed.

After a long time, Li Shimin waved his hand: "I have my own plans for this matter, and Zizheng should not say more." ”

"Yes, the minister retired."

Li Su sighed lightly and silently retreated outside the hall gate.

"Slow down ......" Li Shimin suddenly stopped him: "Zizheng's official position is still the capital of Shangshu Province, but recently, the Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan came to Chang'an to congratulate, and Zizheng will entertain the prime minister on behalf of the imperial court." ”

Li Su was stunned for a moment: "Tubo Minister? ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Back then, the Tang Dynasty defeated Tubo and recovered Songzhou. ”

"Minister, Commander."

**********************************************************************

Li Su, who withdrew from the Manna Palace, looked a little more relaxed.

If he asked for forgiveness from Hou Junji, he wanted to say it a long time ago, but unfortunately he couldn't find the right time, since Li Shimin is so interested in playing the role of Aladdin's lamp god today, Li Su doesn't have to be polite to him, he will say everything he should say, and he will not come again if the opportunity is missed.

Li Su's friendship with Hou Junji is actually not deep, and it can even be said to be very strange, and Hou Junji's fate in the history books Li Su is also very clear, it is said that this kind of person should stay away, but Li Su has never been able to stay out of it.

It is undeniable that Li Su likes everything in the Tang Dynasty, likes the simple and hard-working people, likes the pragmatic and rigorous court, and especially likes the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty under the leadership of an ambitious emperor and a group of experienced and murderous generals, and is invincible.

Moisturizing things silently, Li Su has melted into the Tang Dynasty, completely integrated, and can no longer find the shadow of his previous life, he likes everything here, and is unwilling to use his own ability to change it beyond recognition, the so-called advanced inventions, the so-called perfect political system, those things that do not belong to this era, should appear again in the era when it should appear, what Li Su can do is to enjoy the hard-won rebirth in this era, he doesn't want to become too busy, I don't want my precious life to become like a spinning top, and I don't want the glory and prosperity of this era to fade too quickly.

Asking for forgiveness from Hou Junji is out of Li Su's heart.

I won't change anything, Datang is very good now, I don't need to change anything, as for the glory on the battlefield in the future, the respect for international status, and the rise of national self-confidence and honor, I will rely on you generals to prove it with swords, and I will save you ......

Every general is the cornerstone of the achievement of the glory of the Tang Dynasty, standing in Li Shimin's position, or it doesn't matter if there is one less than one, the conceited Tian Khan always feels that there are countless talents in the world, and they are inexhaustible, but Li Su doesn't think so, like Hou Junji, a general like Hou Junji, one less, then there is really one less, and the time goes back a few years, if Li Zhi really ascends the throne as the emperor in the future, it is not bad to have one more general under his command after all, when they get older, the battle array is more and more experienced, Everyone will be a nuclear-level existence, and what Li Su did was nothing more than save a nuclear bomb for Li Zhiduo in the future.

I walked out of the palace gate with a heavy mind, looked up and saw that the sun was in the middle, and the two of them were talking before they knew it.

Li Su pursed his lips.

It's still a khan, and I don't know how to leave people for a meal at noon, and when I get to the meal, I am in a hurry to drive people out of the palace, and I am more slamming the door than the rich man in the countryside.

Fang Lao Wu waited for a long time, helped Li Su on the horse, and the group left the city to go home.

As for Li Shimin's later reluctance to entertain the Tubo minister, Li Su didn't pay much attention to it.

The prime minister of the foreign feudal state, come to Chang'an to take him to eat, drink and take a tour, or go to the Qinglou to cuddle a few girls, eat enough and play enough and then send them away, save more trouble, maybe you can get a little bribe or something......

…………

…………

"The Great Minister of Tibet? Lu Dongzan? ”

On the side of the river, Dongyang's expression was a little strange.

When Li Suxin mentioned it, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"This Tibetan prime minister...... Is it a good male style? Li Suxuan asked.

Dongyang sneered and said angrily, "What are you thinking about all day?" It's all immodest stuff. ”

"Your expression tells me that entertaining the Tubo Prime Minister doesn't seem to be as simple as I imagined, there is an inside story?"

Dongyang hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you still remember that in the tenth year of Zhenguan, Tubo Songtsan Gampo asked the Tang Dynasty to marry the princess?" ”

Li Su said with a smile: "Of course I remember, this matter is a big problem, your father didn't agree, that Songtsan Gampo was annoyed and ashamed, and beat Tuyuhun without saying a word, and I don't know who Tuyuhun provoked, so scared that the Khan ran to the Tianshan Mountains to see the scenery, and it was two years at a glance, and he didn't dare to invite him back to China." ”

Dongyang said with a smile: "Later, Tubo raised troops to invade my Songzhou, in the final analysis, it is also related to marrying a princess, the barbarians acted barbaric, and if they did not like it, they attacked the city and plundered the land to show off their strength, and later because of your earth-shaking thunder, Uncle Hou and Uncle Niu and others not only recovered Songzhou, but also went deep into the territory of Tubo for thousands of miles, met the city and attacked the city, saw people kill people, that battle can make Tubo suffer a lot, and finally subdued them, and then Songtsan Gampu sent an envoy into Chang'an, the attitude is obviously much more submissive, willing to make friends with the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, never say war......"

Li Su said with a smile: "So, this time the Tibetan minister came to Chang'an, in the name of the vassal on behalf of Songtsen Gampo to congratulate your father?" ”

Dongyang shook his head: "No, Tubo will not claim to be a vassal in front of the Tang Dynasty, although it has suffered defeat, but after all, it has not hurt the vitality of Tubo, Songtsan Gampo is a good monarch, two years ago, while his father and emperor went north to Xue Yantuo, Songtsan Gampo also seized the opportunity to integrate the large and small nobles in Tubo, and concentrated the imperial power and divine power, two years later, the results were quite fruitful, and his people have a very strong prestige in Tubo......

Li Su twisted his eyebrows: "A neighboring country is too strong and unified, which is not a good thing for Datang......"

Dongyang nodded and sighed: "Therefore, my father has gradually become wary of Tubo in recent years, and the prime ministers of the three provinces of the DPRK and China have discussed matters, and there are often decrees against Tubo, such as restricting the sale of salt and iron to Tubo, only selling tea, silk, porcelain and other precious luxury goods to it, and exchanging the barley of Tubo for these luxury goods, Songzhou and Qishan and other places increase the government soldiers every year, and practice day and night, so that the government soldiers can adapt to the plateau war as soon as possible, etc., which are all preparations for a possible war with Tubo in the future......"

"So, what is the purpose of the Tubo Prime Minister coming to Chang'an this time?"

Dongyang said softly: "It's still the same old thing,...... proposed, Songtsen Gampo said that he would marry a Tang princess when he died. ”

Li Su was stunned: "It's been five or six years, this guy is still thinking about our Tang princess?" How much did your father owe him in his last life? I have been chasing for so many years in this life. ”

Dongyang sighed, with a touch of sorrow in his eyes: "I don't know what kind of medicine this barbarian leader took wrong, I heard that he made a grand wish many years ago, and he will not marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty in this life, so he will not hesitate to start ......a war for this."

Li Su blinked: "Since people are so sincere, then send him a princess, you don't have to go, just choose an ugly one in your Li family clan, just give him a princess name, and deal with the past so-so." ”

Dongyang smiled bitterly: "I have already chosen, the eldest daughter of Uncle Jiangxia, my father issued an edict last month, and named her 'Princess Wencheng', intending to marry Songtsan Gampo, this time Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan came to Chang'an, in order to take Princess Wencheng back to Tubo and marry Songtsan Gampo." ”

Li Su sighed.

The famous "Zhaojun out of the fortress" is actually the Han Dynasty's foreign harmony.

It is a very pedantic approach, relying on a woman to maintain a short period of peace between the two countries, no matter how you look at it is a humiliating and fragile thing, it has been proved that no matter how many women are sent to make peace, the war between the two countries has never stopped because of the existence of these women, the so-called "harmony" theory, in the end often becomes a foolish thing to slap yourself, and the past dynasties have not learned a lesson, and the slap has been drawn again and again, and they are still happy to do it.

Dongyang looked at Li Su, and stopped talking a few times.

Li Su frowned and looked at her: "There is still the inside story that has not been finished?" ”

Dongyang nodded: "Yes." ”

Li Su said slowly: "My reason tells me that I can't listen to you anymore, because you have the word 'trouble' written on your face, and these two words are obviously related to me, once I listen to you, it means to cause trouble......"

Dongyang glanced at him and said, "Are you afraid of listening to some gossip?" At the beginning, you were a young general who was killed in a sea of corpses and blood. ”

Ignoring Li Su or not, Dongyang sighed and said quietly: "There is indeed a big trouble now, the eldest daughter of Uncle Jiangxia is the one who was named 'Princess Wencheng' by her father, she already has a heart, and she doesn't want to live or die with Tubo......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Su looked shocked, stood up, covered his ears with his hands, and shouted "I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen...... while shaking his head", in Dongyang's stunned gaze, he flew away like a male protagonist who was split in Qiong Yao's drama, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
