The meaning of the three words "self-family" is different, or in other words, Li Su's understanding of it is different.

The meaning of the family is not outside, what is yours is mine, mine is still mine, the Niu family is the Li family, and the Cheng family is still the Li family.

Isn't that right?

As soon as people became poor, the balance of the festival was immediately insufficient, the Cheng family's banquet continued, but Li Su's eyes involuntarily glanced around, and the various furnishings in the front hall of the Cheng family fell into Li Su's eyes one by one, and then Li Su couldn't help but start to value the various furnishings in the front hall......

Compared with the Niu family, the Cheng family is much richer, the real rich family, all kinds of bronze utensils are placed on the hall, wiped and can be seen, the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities of various dynasties are also hung on the wall, although the old hooligan is a martial artist, but the wife he married is Qinghe Cui's family, at least the cultural atmosphere must be, the decoration in the front hall is rich and powerful, with Li Su's mental arithmetic ability, in the end, it can't be counted, simply put, if a group of bandits rush to the Cheng family at this time to rob the Cheng family, only rob a few objects in the front hall of the Cheng family, it is estimated that they can live a good life in the first half of the year.

And Li Su's eyes now are like a little spy who is undercover for a bandit faction, and his eyes are rolling quickly.

"The little baby doesn't have a polite number, what does the old man ask you, what does it mean that the thief's eyes are glancing at my Lao Cheng's furnishings? Just ransacked Niu's house, and I was worried about my old Cheng family again? Why do you want to commit a shocking serial robbery today? Cheng Yanjin squinted his eyes and said roughly.

Li Su came back to his senses, his expression suddenly became embarrassed, he was exposed, and he was afraid that he would not be able to move today......

"Uncle Cheng forgives sins, forgives sins. The kid was thinking about the situation in the Western Regions just now, so he was distracted......" Li Su made up nonsense without blushing or panting.

Cheng Biting Jin nodded and said approvingly: "Good baby." After returning to Chang'an, he still thought about the Western Regions, and the thief's eyes stared at the old man's bronze utensils, and he still had a face of worrying about the country and the people, which was barely a skill. ”

Li Su became more and more embarrassed, coughed dryly twice, and said with a straight face: "The kid is indeed worried about the Western Regions, although now General Hou is under the orders of His Majesty. is leading a large army to sweep through the Western Regions, and if the thirty-six small countries in the Western Regions are single, none of them is my opponent of the Tang Dynasty. I'm afraid that after General Hou destroyed Gaochang, the rabbits and foxes of the Western Regions will die and unite against my Tang Dynasty, not to mention that there is a big food in the west of the Western Regions. Persia. There is Tibet in the south, these are all powerful countries, if the royal division sweeps too much, causing these powerful countries to be dissatisfied, and then help the countries of the Western Regions to send troops, the Western Regions will eventually become a mess, and it will be difficult to clean up. ”

Cheng Yanjin sneered: "Big baby, do you really think you are a peerless veteran after guarding the city for a while?" It's your turn to worry about this kind of thing. Do you think that Your Majesty and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty both eat dry rice? I can't estimate this, our Datang should have changed the dynasty a long time ago. ”

The corners of Li Su's eyes twitched.

What about words. It's a good word, translated in polite language, it's nothing more than "Don't worry, your majesty and the prince of the court will have a decision" and so on, these words came out of Cheng Yanjin's mouth, which made Li Su want to flip the table every minute and then openly ransack Cheng's house and then brushed his sleeves away......

"Hou Junji was ordered to conquer the Western Regions, firstly, because the countries of the Western Regions invaded my Xizhou, and secondly, in order to control the Silk Road, it was the division that was famous, as for which country Hou Junji destroyed, how far to fight, and where to fight, before the expedition, His Majesty and the courtiers had already discussed and ruled that the 36 countries of the Western Regions could not all be destroyed, even if they could, they could not do it, for the Hu people outside the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty had already made a decision, Zhenguan for eight years, Your Majesty once made a poem, which has a sentence that says, 'Hu Chenqing Yusai, Qiang flute rhyme Jin Zheng', this sentence can be regarded as His Majesty's attitude towards neighboring countries and the Hu people...... Fighting, after all, is better than peace. ”

Li Su savored this poem and had an epiphany.

This is Li Shimin's national policy and the mind of Tian Khan.

Fight still has to fight, for the sake of prestige, for the sake of lessons, but also in order to control the Silk Road, but the fight can only be lightly beaten, it is impossible to really wipe out the entire Western Regions, at that time of course expanded the territory, but outside the Western Regions, there are more powerful enemies, without the buffer of the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty will face the big countries of Dashi, Persia, Tianzhu in the future, it may be more difficult, in terms of Zhenguannian's national strength, the Tang Dynasty can not support a big war.

Cheng Biting Jin picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, patted a few remaining wine stains on his beard, and said with a smile: "Before you return to Chang'an, I don't know how many envoys from small countries in the Western Regions knelt in front of the gate of Taiji Palace to ask to see the holy face, Your Majesty summoned them one by one, and after the severe reprimand, he was gently appeased. In a few days, the class teacher will return to the court, little baby, why do you think His Majesty has rewarded you so much? Don't look at you just guarding a small city, but the significance of guarding this city is really not small......"

Squinting at Li Su, Cheng Biting Jin said slowly: "Speaking of Hou Junji, the old man wants to ask, I heard that Hou Junji invited you to send troops to Gaochang together, and share the work of destroying the country with you, and by the way, you can also take revenge with your own hands, little baby, why did you refuse?" ”

Li Su said blankly: "Why refuse?" This...... The boy's duty is to guard Xizhou, His Majesty didn't say that the kid and General Hou would destroy Gaochang together, did the kid do something wrong? ”

Cheng Yanjin carefully looked at Li Su's expression, then nodded, and sighed: "You kid, you can be regarded as a stupid person, you are wrong, fortunately, you didn't join in this excitement with Hou Jun at the beginning, otherwise you wouldn't be so beautiful when you go back to Chang'an, and it would be Jin Jue and gold......"

"Huh?" Li Su was taken aback: "Where did Uncle Cheng say this?" ”

Cheng Yanjin squinted his eyes and smiled, his expression couldn't tell whether it was contempt or schadenfreude.

"Hou Junji, hehe, I've caused a big disaster......"

Li Su's expression became more and more shocked.

Destroying the enemy country is a great achievement, how can it cause a great disaster? Hou Junji is obviously ordered to destroy the country.

Cheng Yanjin took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "The destruction of Gaochangguo is indeed a great achievement, to be honest, when His Majesty appointed Hou Junji as the head of the march, the old man was still a little jealous, and he really rolled in the court a few times, sprinkled it again, and made His Majesty angry, and ordered the old man to be driven out of the Taiji Palace." The old man just gave up......"

Li Su: "............"

Such stinky and shameless words are not red, breathless and swollen, is it a realm?

"It's just that Hou Junji is not strict under his control, or rather. This guy was fascinated by utilitarianism, seeing that the Gaochang Kingdom had been destroyed, and the royal family was captured alive, Hou Junji had no scruples about the rest of the matter, and 40,000 troops entered the capital of Gaochang, killing people in the city for ten consecutive days. Set fires, plunder, and even spoil women and children. Hou Junji not only turned a blind eye, but also sent his guards to loot the belongings of the Gaochang Palace and put them into his own pocket......"

Cheng Yanjin looked at Li Su and said leisurely: "Baby." Do you know what it means to 'break a city'? The word 'broken'. It stands to reason that the army attacked the city, the enemy refused to surrender, the two sides attacked and defended, and our side suffered casualties and soldiers, so after attacking the city. The general would generally acquiesce to the slaughter of the city by his soldiers in retaliation, and slaughtered for a few days. Grab a few days, set fire for a few days, there are particulars, but there is a premise, that is, the enemy refuses to surrender, do not surrender and kill, this is the rule of the Tang Dynasty, but Gao Changguo, in Hou Jun gathered troops to the city on the second day to open the city gate to surrender, but did not expect Hou Junji still acquiesced to the destruction of the city, looting and burning, this is a bad rule, killing and surrendering, since ancient times has been known as unlucky, and lost the way of benevolence and righteousness, bad reputation......"

"The army burned for ten days, in the chaos of the soldiers, the capital of Gaochang ran a royal clan, is the younger brother of the late lord of the country Ko Wentai, this ancestor who believes in Buddhism took advantage of the chaos to escape from Gaochang, all the way through hardships, rushed to Chang'an City last month, knelt in front of the Taiji Palace and cried, left a blood letter of accusation, hit the stone pillar headlong, died outside the gate of the Taiji Palace, His Majesty was shocked when he heard the music, and was furious after reading the blood book carefully, Chang'an City detectives rode out in all directions, to find out the beginning and end of Gaochang's destruction of the country, the clan died in Chang'an City, The eyes of so many envoys from neighboring countries in the city are staring at Your Majesty, wanting to see how Your Majesty will deal with this matter, even if Hou Junji has made a great contribution this time, I am afraid that he will not be able to please him after returning to Chang'an. ”

After Li Su was shocked for a moment, the corners of his mouth gradually showed a wry smile.

Sure enough, the wheel of history is like that, crushing everything to pieces, and those who should be unlucky under the wheels will eventually be unlucky.

"After General Hou returns to Chang'an, what will His Majesty do with him?"

Cheng Yanjin sneered: "Don't think about the merit reward, I'm afraid that going to prison is inevitable, slaughtering the city is slaughtering the city, it is unreasonable to say that the sky is broken, after all, it is unreasonable, Your Majesty has worked hard all these years, and has fought and pulled against neighboring countries, and has finally won the honorific title of 'Tian Khan' over the years, and now Hou Junji is doing nonsense alone, ruining His Majesty's reputation for many years, do you say that Your Majesty wants to chop Hou Junji with a knife? ”

Li Su nodded, and couldn't help but be a little glad, glad that he didn't promise Hou Junji to destroy Gaochang together, because ...... I was too lazy to move, so I was spared a trouble.

Lazy people have lazy blessings, and being lazy can still reap some unexpected benefits occasionally.

Cheng Yanjin sighed: "Fortunately, you didn't go to Gaochang with Hou Junji, otherwise you will have to discount the credit for your life in Xizhou, even if you are not a general, you will always participate in this matter, it is difficult to say whether Your Majesty will involve you, and the merits you have made will be deducted after all, baby, you have a good life, and you have avoided this disaster." ”

In the front hall, the two were silent for a while, Cheng Biting Jin smiled and said, "What are you doing with these trivial things?" Come, baby, drink this cup with the old man, it can be regarded as a catch for you! ”

"Huh? Full again? Li Su had a bitter face, and was given a heroic ...... to commit suicide took a sip, grinning his teeth so spicy, and quickly put down the wine cup and sat down.

"Okay, let's talk about it, you just entered the house and looked at it for a long time, which object did you fancy in my house?"

Li Su was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced, this is going to be sent! So he hurriedly raised his hand and pointed around in the front hall: "This, this, this, and that, that ......"

Cheng Yanjin stroked his messy beard and nodded, his expression unchanged: "The thief's eyes are really vicious, and you have picked out several valuable things in my family......"

"Uncle Cheng gave these to the boy?" Li Su asked cautiously with surprise.

"Who said it was sent to you? The old man is just studying your vision, the rules of my old Cheng family have always been only in and out, don't you know? ”
