Chapter 8 Go home and farm
Bang dang......
As Zhuge Wuming's words fell, Li Cheng sat down on the dragon chair with dull eyes.
He finally understood.
Why does the national strength increase......
Huang Shangshu!
This guy!
Something new has been developed, and it has been judged that technology has grown!
As for the people's hearts......
He shouldn't have helped the people build houses for free!
Careless!
Zhuge Wuming and Huang Pei below looked at Li Cheng's sluggish appearance, but they smiled at each other.
Your Majesty is probably very happy.
The construction of Chao'an City this time is a signal for His Majesty to announce to the hundred officials that he has gathered the imperial power.
It is also an opportunity to unite the hearts of the people in Chao'an Castle.
Now the trend has come.
When Your Majesty continues to make a big move, there is no need to scruple too much.
Well, they can't be too proud either.
Keep up the good work.
Next, His Majesty's movements will definitely get bigger and bigger, and they must be ready to cooperate with His Majesty in a timely manner.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? ”
Gonggong Xu saw that Li Cheng had not come back to his senses for a long time, and muttered softly.
The color in Li Cheng's eyes returned again, his expression was very stiff, and he looked at the many ministers below.
His way back......
Because of this Huang Shangshu, it is going to be extended again.
Still want a bounty?
Go home and farm!
"Hmm...... Huang Shangshu is really the pillar of the country, spread my will, give Huang Shangshu a thousand taels of silver, ten acres of fertile land, in addition, Huang Shangshu is old, can resign from his position, return to his hometown, and live for a long time. ”
Li Cheng said with a firm tone.
The hundred officials listened to the reward, the first half of the sentence is no problem, reward the silver and reward the field, this is the style of the emperor's reward.
But the second half of the sentence can be ......
Come home rich or famous.
Take care of your days.
Isn't it just a matter of going home and farming......
What does this Your Majesty mean.
Let the heroes go home for the elderly for no reason?
Are you kidding?
But looking at the emperor's tone, it didn't seem like he was joking at all.
Gonggong Xu was also stunned, but after a while, he came back to his senses and said in a loud voice: "Huang Shangshu, still don't accept the order?" Do you want to resist the decree and not be respectful? ”
The party Huang Pei was even more stunned.
What does this mean, Your Majesty?
He's only in his forties, and he can do it for a few more years.
He subconsciously looked at Zhuge Wuming.
saw Zhuge Wuming nodding slightly.
The two looked at each other, as if their eyes were making eye contact.
Zhuge Wuming: First and next, Your Majesty has its own deep meaning.
Huang Pei: Okay.
"The minister takes the order!"
Huang Pei immediately knelt down to accept the order.
Baiguan was completely stunned, but he didn't expect Huang Pei to really accept the order without saying a word.
What's going on?
Some of the ministers who wanted to stand up and ask His Majesty to retract his will also stood back.
The parties have all accepted the order, and it is difficult for them to say anything more.
"Well, Huang Aiqing just accepts the order."
Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Huang Pei receiving the order, and then he said quietly: "I want to start a war, what do you think?" ”
He thought about it, even if he drove away these talented ministers, and wanted to defeat the entire Tang Empire, it would not be something that could be completed in a while.
wants to defeat Datang in a short period of time.
Only with some ruthless means.
For example, to start a war, that is, to fight!
Once there is a war, then Datang's national strength will decline rapidly.
Because of the war, the consumption required is too great.
For example, in the preparation of war, armor, weapons, horses, all these things are needed, right?
What's more, if it really fights, logistics and supplies, you must keep up.
If the war is unfavorable, it is even more necessary to recruit troops and reinforcements again, so that the residents everywhere will definitely be full of resentment.
The various costs are enormous.
It can be said that once the war is lost, the entire Datang will be greatly injured at the very least, and if it is an exaggeration, there is a danger of destroying the country.
Li Cheng's words made the entire hall boil.
Countless courtiers persuaded each other.
"Your Majesty, never!"
"Your Majesty, when the army is raised, it is all the people who suffer, and I ask Your Majesty to take back your will......"
"The Tang Empire can't support the military now! Your Majesty, don't let that be a thought! ”
“……”
Li Cheng looked at these words and felt extremely comfortable in his heart.
You say no.
That's for sure!
The war is definitely going to start! He will only go back until there is a war.
"Your Majesty, the minister has one thing, dare to ask Your Majesty."
Prime Minister Zhuge Wuming suddenly stood up and made a gesture.
Seeing the prime minister stand up, all the officials quieted down, wanting to see if the prime minister could persuade His Majesty.
"Say."
Li Cheng didn't feel anything.
He wanted to laugh inexplicably.
As a comrade-in-arms, I want to ask if there is a lot of oil and water that can be corrupted in this military incident?
Zhuge Wuming asked sharply: "The minister wants to ask Your Majesty, which country is the reason for the military this time?" ”
This one......
Li Cheng frowned and thought slightly.
He knew that there were many countries around the Tang Empire.
Against which country did the war start?
He really didn't know that.
Never mind.
Pick any one.
Li Cheng waved his hand and said, "I want to start a war against the Dongyi Kingdom in the east of the Tang Dynasty, as for the reason?" I...... I remember that the envoy of the Dongyi Kingdom in the previous year, when he entered the Hantian Temple, he stepped into the temple with his left foot first. ”
Baiguan: "......"
Stepping into the temple with his left foot first, is it to disrespect the king?
All the officials looked at their feet in unison, trying to remember which foot had stepped into the temple first.
Seems to be the left foot? Or the right foot?
I can't remember......
I can't talk about it this day, if the emperor says that you are the first to step into the palace with your left foot, and I want to punish your nine clans, then they will be wronged.
Zhuge Wuming was also helpless about his own emperor's reason, but he still said: "Your Majesty Shengming! The minister supports His Majesty's crusade against the Dongyi barbarians! ”
The courtiers who were familiar with the prime minister echoed one after another.
As for the rest of the courtiers, naturally they couldn't say anything, so they could only all agree.
'Niu Lei', the most powerful general in the current palace, arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to conquer the Dongyi barbarians, who will be in charge?" If there is no candidate, the minister is willing to take command and go on the expedition! ”
He was in the court, and the recent wind and grass had also made him smell something.
His instincts told him that he needed to show his face and show His Majesty.
Li Cheng waved his hand and said, "I already have a candidate. ”
Joke.
What he wants is to lose the war!
Let these battle-hardened generals go, what if they win?
Then send a civil officer?
His gaze swept over the hundred officials.
After thinking about it for a while, I still forget it.
Those who can come to the early dynasty are few weak.
What if a civilian official is sent and wins?
How's that going......
No, no, no.
You can't pick from the hundreds of officials.
Li Cheng's eyes swept around, he didn't look at the hundred officials, but looked outside the Hantian Palace.
When he saw an ordinary soldier of the Yulin Army guarding the gate of the Hantian Temple, his eyes lit up.
That's you!
