Chapter 16 Sending talents to the eldest brother

Dongyi domestic.

On the walls of a city.

Han Yu stood above this, looking down at the corpses under the city.

It was the fifteenth city they had conquered.

Except for the first five cities that were taken by them without resistance, the rest of the cities were captured by him himself.

He wants to tell the world.

His Majesty's vision was absolutely correct.

Now, he did.

"General, the battle report has been written."

An adjutant general walked up excitedly.

Fifteen cities in a row have forcibly expanded the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

This credit, except for the Tang Taizu period, has never been there!

"What are you excited about, everything is just the credit of Your Majesty, since you have finished writing, let's send it to Chao'an City."

Han Yu waved his hand and said.

He knew very well that if it weren't for the 'secret agent' sent by His Majesty to make Dongyi Kingdom lose the Tianying Pass, then he would never have achieved easy results in this battle.

Maybe just one Aquila Pass would be able to cost them more than half of their troops.

In the final analysis, it was His Majesty's ability that made him have the results of this battle.

Thinking of this, Han Yu bowed in the direction of Chao'an City.

……

The other side.

Imperial Palace, inside the Taiji Palace.

Li Cheng, who is in a bad mood because of the increase in lifespan, is meeting with the general 'Niu Lei'.

"What's the matter, just say it, get out of here."

Li Cheng didn't care about the emperor's majesty.

He can't go back!

I can manage so many etiquette department etiquette.

Now he has 36 years to live!

36 years!

In other words, he has to defeat the Tang Dynasty by another 360 points.

But is the national strength so easy to lose? He has lost the country like this, and he can still be promoted, he can't figure out how to defeat the country anymore.

Niu Lei also felt that the emperor's mood was very bad, touched his nose, and said: "The minister is here, there is something to report, it is related to the Tang royal family, so the minister came to see Your Majesty alone." ”

Li Chengdu glanced at Niu Lei and said casually: "Say it." ”

The Tang royal family?

As far as he knows, there are only three royal families alive today, the Queen Mother, himself, and that bastard big brother Li Ming.

Niu Lei thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the minister got the news that the king of Zhenxi may have the intention of rebelling, and the minister can't be sure whether it's true or not, so he came to tell His Majesty the news." ”

What the?!

Li Cheng's eyelids jumped.

His own bastard big brother actually wants to rebel?

Could it be that the expansion of the territory is just to raise soldiers?

It's also too ......

Great, isn't it?

It's good to rebel!

He just likes this kind of big brother.

What's the point of being the eldest brother of a loyal minister!

is this kind of big brother who likes to rebel, that's called a pro-big brother.

This big brother really is.

It would have been nice to say that you were going to rebel earlier, and maybe I would have sent supplies to help you.

There is this prince's rebellion, coupled with the defeat of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, surrounded by external enemies, and civil strife.

360 points of national power is not something that can be easily defeated?

Li Cheng suddenly felt refreshed, and his gaze at Niu Lei was a lot softer, and said, "Not bad, it should be rewarded!" Go down and get a thousand taels of silver, and I'll leave the rest to me. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Niu Lei nodded and turned to leave, he believed that His Majesty would definitely make a move.

In this kind of war of the Tang royal family, he is still a small participant.

Just cooperate with His Majesty's every move in time.

watched Niu Lei leave.

Li Cheng frowned and muttered to himself: "This eldest brother refuses to raise troops now, does he feel that he is still too weak." ”

How long will it take for this big brother to feel strong?

No, he felt that he needed to help this big brother.

Well......

Let's give the troop transfer tiger talisman to the other party first, so as to express a meaning.

I'm not interested in asking for this throne anymore, so you can take over the throne quickly.

It seems that the talents in the Yiliang region are also a little withered, well, those loyal ministers must be transferred to the Yiliang region.

First, it is to help his big brother grow his power.

Second, all the loyal ministers of the court will be transferred, and only traitors will be left, so why worry that the court is not corrupt?

That's it for now.

Li Cheng immediately wrapped the tiger talisman and called a eunuch eunuch to quickly deliver the tiger talisman to the king of Zhenxi.

Then, he asked Gonggong Xu to draw all the names of the civil and military officials on a piece of paper, and he searched them one by one.

Through the impression of those names in memory, determine whether the other party is a loyal minister or a traitor.

After a period of searching, he found nearly fifty 'loyal ministers'.

Anyway, in memory, these people are loyal ministers.

This is all what the first emperor told his predecessor in memory.

"Okay, no wonder I'm so defeated, the country can still thrive, it's these fifty fools who are mischievous."

Li Cheng's face was angry, he glanced at Gonggong Xu next to him, waved his hand and said, "Gonggong Xu, pass on my will, all these fifty people will be transferred to the Yiliang region." ”

Father-in-law Xu's face was strange, and he said, "Your Majesty, do you want to think twice?" Most of these people are rooted in Chao'an City, and they will all be transferred away for a while, for fear that it will cause a backlash. ”

"Bounce? The rebound is good! ”

Li Cheng blurted out, immediately realized that he had made a mistake, thought for a while, and said, "Datang is still my Datang!" If these people dare to make trouble, let the army suppress it directly! ”

That's what the words say.

In fact, he wished that these people were making trouble.

It is best to create an image of a 'faint king' for him, so as to lower the people's hearts and prestige.

"Obey Your Majesty's Decree!"

Father-in-law Xu didn't know what to say, so he had to respond.

……

News from the palace came out.

Instantly shocked countless people.

The fifty people who were transferred away were completely confused, what did they do? Unprovoked Duan was transferred to a barren place such as the Yiliang region.

They also wanted to go and meet the emperor and ask about it.

But the emperor did not see these people directly and ordered them to take office immediately.

These fifty people felt that their heads were all big.

The other side.

Inside the Prime Minister's Palace.

At this moment, more than 30 court officials gathered here.

Zhuge Wuming looked at these officials in the hall.

Now all of the people with him are ministers with both talent and virtue.

These people are the main force of the Tang Empire.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I guess you all know about it, right?" Your Majesty's new order? Now do you know your majesty's true intentions? ”

The more than thirty officials all nodded excitedly.

They all thought that His Majesty was mediocre today.

I didn't expect it all to be fake.

His Majesty today is 'mediocre and inactive' on the surface, but in fact he is eloquent.

Otherwise, this time the court was transferred, how could it be possible to transfer all those real traitors away.

Most of the traitorous ministers who were transferred away were during the period of the first emperor, and they used all kinds of means to be called loyal ministers by the first emperor.

Pity......

None of this can escape the eyes of His Majesty today!
