Chapter 209: The Scholar of the Kingdom Returns to Him
Li Shimin's purpose of leaving Li Su was originally just to inquire about the production of the earth-shaking thunder, according to his original idea, with the sharp weapon of the earth-shaking thunder, he took advantage of Xue Yantuo's civil strife to send troops directly, and fought all the way through as if it were a cannon battle.
The craze for the land is not without reason, and it is not just a great success. Li Shimin hopes to prove himself to the subjects of the world, so that the whole world knows that he is a capable and wise emperor, and the Xuanwumen change is the biggest stain on his life, so he must make a merit that surpasses all the emperors of the previous dynasty, so as to wash away the shame of the past, and show off these achievements to his subjects, especially to those family lords who have been criticizing him constantly to show off or demonstrate.
For an emperor, subduing the four seas, it is the greatest merit to refer to whoever destroys, so when he heard about Xue Yantuo's civil strife, Li Shimin was happier than the night of candles in the cave room, and he was obviously more inclined to directly send troops to conquer, in terms of his original intention, after all, he still wanted to use this most direct way to block the mouths of the people in the world.
Li Su is somewhat clear about Li Shimin's thoughts.
In the previous life, I only saw the history books boasting about how wise this emperor was, how much he gave us great China, in thousands of years of historical civilization, there are only a few truly domineering monarchs, Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and this Li Er Majesty, really horizontal, God said to have light, so there is light, these people say that the territory is too small, so the territory is big......
Thanks to the blessing of this wise emperor, there are finally a few bright spots in the entire thousands of years of China's history of grievances and suffering, and the present and future generations are raising their eyebrows, and even the people of the Tang Dynasty are accustomed to this warlike emperor. He never only glared at them with his nostrils, and Hu Ren had to obediently accompany the smiling face.
It's a good thing, Li Su is also proud, and he has gradually been infected with these diseases, he is lucky to be born in the prosperous era of a strong country, and he has been in this world for more than half a year. Occasionally saw Hu people in Chang'an City, and Li Su unconsciously looked at them with a condescending gaze.
While enjoying this national pride, Li Su felt that he should also fulfill his obligations as a citizen of Datang, not for personal gain, and purely hoped that Datang could be stronger and better.
…………
"Zhenzhu Khan's two sons, the eldest son is wise and steady, and the second son is brave and tyrannical, and Datang chooses to support the eldest son. Undoubtedly very stable, and being wise means being able to weigh the pros and cons clearly, knowing what to do and what not to do......"
Li Shimin bowed his head: "According to your wishes, Datang supports the eldest son to pull out the burning?" ”
Li Su coughed and said, "No, the kid thinks it's better to support the second son......
"Oh? Why? ”
Li Su said with a smile: "If you choose to support the eldest son, with the wise and steady temperament of the eldest son." may surrender for a while due to the situation, but he will never be willing to be subordinate for a long time. will definitely secretly accumulate strength, win over the powerful, and wait for a sharp blow to Datang, at that time Datang has helped him quell the civil strife, if he turns his face ruthlessly, Datang will finally make a wedding dress for others. But choosing to support the second son is different. Because the second son was tyrannical and courageous, this kind of person was easier for His Majesty to control, and the subjects under the tyrannical man would only fear him, but could not develop prestige. After a long time, I believe that even he knows that without the support of Datang, he is nothing, and without the help of Datang, the people below can chop him into minced meat in an instant, so that he will never betray Datang lightly......"
After saying a long word, Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and stared at him thoughtfully.
"Tyrannical temperament often acts recklessly, relying only on one's own likes and dislikes, can Tang An control it lightly?"
Li Su was immersed in his own thoughts, and he didn't realize how strange Li Shimin's gaze was when he looked at him, and he smiled to himself: "What are you afraid of with a tyrannical temperament?" He was honest after pumping him once, or he did a martial arts exercise at the border of Tang Xue, and invited that Tu Lishu to take a look at the majesty of the elite king of the Tang Dynasty, and finally threw thousands of earth-shattering thunders in front of him, which really scared him once, and I didn't believe that he would be honest in the future. ”
After talking for a long time, the topic of martial arts finally aroused Li Shimin's interest, his eyes lit up, he smacked his mouth and groaned for a while, and laughed loudly: "The saying of martial arts is really wonderful, not only Xue Yantuo, but I can also invite all the envoys from the neighboring countries around the Tang Dynasty to shock them well, this move can consolidate my Datang status for ten years without decay, ten years...... How much do I have to do! ”
After laughing, Li Shimin stared at Li Su with interest: "At a young age, you are also composing poems, curing diseases, and creating earth-shaking thunder, and you can also have time to contribute to the national policy, I am really curious, who taught you these skills?" ”
Li Su was taken aback, and hurriedly showed a face reminiscing about the past, and sighed: "Many years ago, an old Taoist priest from Youfang passed by Taiping Village......
Li Shimin sneered: "Hehe, good foolishness, I haven't seen a hero who bullied the king for many years, and I'm still a young hero, and then make it up, and after I finish compiling it, I kicked you into Dali Temple, and let you squat for two years." ”
Li Su smiled bitterly: "These skills, no one teaches the kid, they are all figured out by the kid when he is bored......"
Li Shimin snorted heavily, but he didn't bother to worry about the children, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "Last time, you were locked up in Dali Temple, pretending to be crazy and stupid, and wrote two good poems, hum, people are crazy, and the poems are so good, what ten steps to kill a person, a thousand miles without staying, what sentimentality should laugh at me, early birth and Huafa, those literati who are not crazy in Chang'an should be killed by one head......"
Li Su was a little embarrassed, blushing and laughing.
Li Shimin sighed and said: "You are a rare talent in my Tang Dynasty, the last incident really made you wronged, from your poems, I can see that you are tired of the court, just a good young baby, how can you be so easy to be discouraged?" Who's life, including me, is smooth? A little setback will wear and sink, what kind of big husband is it? Li Su, you have to cheer up and make more contributions to Datang and me,...... In the future, no matter whether it is the prince or the powerful family, as long as you take advantage of it, I will not let you be wronged. ”
Li Su was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed.
The words were subtle, but Li Su understood the meaning, it turned out that Li Shimin had always taken him to heart, and Li Shimin also clearly knew that he had offended the prince in the Dongshi incident last time, and today he sent him a life talisman, which is more effective than any high-ranking official.
Li Su hurriedly straightened his clothes, got up and shook himself to the ground towards Li Shimin: "Thank you, boy, Your Majesty, Your Majesty treats me as a national soldier, and I will repay him as a national soldier." ”
***********************************************************
After the play, Li Su left the palace.
I told Li Shimin a lot just now, as for whether he adopts his own advice, Li Su can't control it, it's enough to do his best, sending troops or supporting, in fact, it is not a mistake, the so-called "one force to ten meetings", in terms of Datang's current combat strength, no matter how you choose, you can achieve your goal, the difference is that the price of casualties is different.
Outside the palace gate, Zheng Xiaolou was still waiting for him, seeing Li Su come out, Zheng Xiaolou lazily leaned on the saddle, never took the initiative to meet the consciousness of leading the horse to fall, the two faced each other, and threw each other an extremely disgusted look.
-- I really want to trick him into the dark alleys of Dongshi, and ask Wang Zhi to put a sack on him and beat him a few times.
The two got on their horses, and Li Su did not go home, but went straight to the firearms bureau.
Li Shimin finally made an order. Starting today, the Firearms Bureau will process and produce the Shocking Thunder, and it is imperative to ensure that it can sustain the production of a protracted war within a few months.
This decree is obviously aimed at Xue Yantuo, and there is only one purpose, to prepare for war.
It can be seen from this that Li Shimin is still hesitating between sending troops and supporting the puppets.
…………
From the outside, a newly built mansion plus a few workshops next to it looks no different from the houses of ordinary large families, but just within a radius of ten miles from the Firearms Bureau, you can clearly feel that you are being peeped at by many pairs of eyes, Zheng Xiaolou's feeling is particularly strong, riding on the horse and constantly looking around, his expression has become a little nervous and uneasy.
It's right to feel nervous and uneasy, the Firearms Bureau was set up a secret guard by Jin Wuwei within a radius of ten miles, and the intuition of being watched by countless pairs of eyes was correct, because there were indeed many pairs of eyes staring at them.
Li Su had been silently paying attention to his expression, and when he saw his appearance like he had blown up his hair, he couldn't help nodding secretly.
The appearance is not bad, and being able to suddenly perceive danger in an environment without warning shows that he still has some real skills, maybe this guy's specialty is not just to carry ......
When the two of them were three miles away from the Firearms Bureau, a general of Jin Wuwei finally came out of the grass on the side of the road and stopped them.
The general's attitude was very polite and resolute, Li Su could enter the Firearms Bureau, but Zheng Xiaolou couldn't, he was a fresh face, and he would never be allowed to enter without His Majesty's will, and neither could the generals of the former supervisor of the Firearms Bureau, so he could only wait outside.
Li Su squinted at Zheng Xiaolou and found that this guy was also looking at him, and his eyes were very friendly and peaceful, without the slightest trace of disgust.
Very good, this is Li Su's territory, if he dares to show that disgusted look, Li Su will definitely shout "catch the spy", I believe that Zheng Xiaolou's future life will be very exciting, or maybe his life will not have a future......
Leaving Zheng Xiaolou waiting in Jin Wuwei's tent, Li Su entered the Firearms Bureau alone.
