Chapter 312: Convinced Li Shiji

Li Shimin listened to Li Chengqian's words as if he had found a treasure child, and finally found a way to deal with the family.

The imperial examination was invented in the Sui Dynasty to replace the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, which was also used by the Sui Emperor to deal with the family, but Li Shimin never understood this, so the imperial court during the Zhenguan period mainly recommended and Mingke examined people.

It wasn't until Wu Zetian and the family were completely incompatible that he thought of improving the treatment of Jinshike to deal with the family.

Now that Li Chengqian has clearly explained the role of the imperial examination, if Li Shimin still does not understand it, he will not be worthy of being the emperor.

In addition to asking about the role of the imperial examination, Li Shimin talked to Li Chengqian about some other things, and the two of them were temporarily reconciled.

It's not that Li Shimin's attitude changed quickly, and he really had no choice.

Before the Xuanwu Revolution, Li Shimin had thought that when Li Jiancheng launched a mutiny first, it would be logical for him to take advantage of the situation to destroy Li Jiancheng.

But at that time, Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin, Changsun Wuji and others worked hard day and night to persuade Li Shimin to do it first, so he was finally pushed by his subordinates to do it.

But now in the face of Li Chengqian, who dares to persuade Li Shimin to act first?

Although Li Shimin has many problems, he still has a basic demeanor, he does not have Li Chengqian's steel mill, nor does he force a gunpowder secret formula, let alone launch a mutiny to take Li Chengqian first.

He has indeed been sick in the past few days, mainly because he is sad that Fang Xuanling may have to follow in the footsteps of Sun Wuji, and Li Chengqian's distrust of him, but he has not reached the point of being bedridden.

Li Shimin was lying on the bed and didn't get up, but he was actually waiting for Li Chengqian to make the first move, but no one thought that Li Chengqian had not made any changes in the past few days. Because he was sick, he changed from the original morning and dusk twice a day to three times a day to come to say hello.

Li Chengqian's approach reassured Li Shimin a lot, and there was no reason to lie down any longer, after all, if he wanted to test Li Chengqian, he also had to secretly inform his generals to prepare.

If Li Chengqian did not make any changes after lying down for a month, Li Shimin's generals would also feel that he was too much of an emperor.

Through communication with Li Chengqian, Li Shimin still couldn't fully agree with Li Chengqian's approach, but he was no longer so repulsive, so he agreed that Li Chengqian would first use the Mobei Zhubu to conduct an experiment.

-----------------

In the east courtyard where Li Chengqian lives.

Because Li Chengqian likes to sit in the courtyard for a long time, he has placed three yellow rosewood arhat beds in the courtyard in front of the main hall.

At this time, Li Shiji and Qi He Li sat on the Luohan bed on the east side, and they came when Li Chengqian just went to see Li Shimin.

Seeing that the sun had turned from the southeast to the south, although it was not hot, there was also a little anxiety in my heart, but the more the smart two people waited, the quieter they became, and they couldn't see a trace of impatience on the surface.

Both of them knew in their hearts that after the last incident, if Li Shimin could still tolerate Li Chengqian, it would mean that Li Shimin would never touch Li Chengqian in the future.

Today, the two have been talking for so long and haven't collapsed, obviously reconciled.

So when he saw Li Chengqian easily walking in from the main courtyard, he didn't dare to have other thoughts.

Hurriedly got up and took a few steps forward, bowed to Li Chengqian and saluted with fists.

"See His Royal Highness the eldest son!"

Li Chengqian said to the two with a smile as he walked forward: "Today, my father is very good, so I left the lonely king to say a few more words, so that the two generals waited for a long time." ”

"Your Majesty's health is the blessing of my Datang!" Li Shiji hurriedly complimented.

Li Chengqian walked to the Arhat bed in the middle of the courtyard and sat down, and Li Shiji and the others also stood beside him.

Li Chengqian took a cup of tea handed over by Liu Kui and said casually: "The two of you will sit down first, and the lonely king still has something to tell you." ”

When they heard this, they both sat down on the Luohan bed on the side.

Li Chengqian drank tea and rinsed his mouth, and the waiter brought a bowl of mutton soup and a plate of mutton to burn.

Li Chengqian was hungry all morning, and when he saw that he was busy eating, he picked up a fire and started eating mutton soup.

After taking a bite, he looked up and saw Li Shiji and Qi Bi He Li both looking at him, and hurriedly said to Liu Kui: "Give the two generals a copy too, and the lonely king wants to chat with them while eating." ”

Li Shiji hurriedly got up and said, "Don't dare." ”

Li Chengqian waved at him with his hand holding the fire and said, "Sit down, eat when you catch up with me, there are not so many rules!" Don't believe you ask General Chebi. ”

Hearing this, Qi Qi He Li hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most approachable on weekdays. ”

Li Shiji sat down with a little relief when he heard this, and unconsciously his calm general momentum had been naturally dissolved by Li Chengqian.

Soon, the chamberlain brought up two more points of food, and Li Chengqian said to the two while eating: "King Gu summoned the two Qing families today to discuss the settlement of the bereaved families of the Mobei tribes. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please." Although the two had different thoughts, they still got up at the same time and saluted Li Chengqian.

"Sit down, sit down, let's talk while we eat." Li Chengqian took another sip of mutton soup before continuing: "King Gu knows the rules of the grassland, and he can't live without a young and strong tribe. ”

"Exactly!" Qi Bi He Li attached to the road.

"Therefore, the lonely king wants to bring those old and weak women and children to the south of the desert. Although women and children are weak, they can also graze cattle and sheep, and when they come to Monan, the cattle and sheep she grazes can be exchanged with the imperial court for grain, salt and other necessary materials for life...... In this way, they can also survive, and the court will not suffer. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very worried, I don't know what I need the ministers to do?" Li Shiji drank the last mouthful of soup and asked directly.

"King Gu wants to send General Qibi to lead the army to pick up people, and the British Duke will arrange a deputy and 3,000 cavalry." Li Chengqian said clearly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken all the women and children of the Mobei tribes to Monan, can the place in Monan be arranged? Besides, all the tribes have arrived in the south of the desert, so isn't the land of the north of the desert going to be cheaper for outsiders?" Li Shiji couldn't help but ask one after another.

Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this: "What the British public mentioned is also reasonable. ”

Li Shiji nodded and said: Fortunately, you are not arrogant enough to not listen to a word of advice.

"But the British Duke also thinks about it, the lone king left the 200,000 Mobei youths to mine for the Tang Dynasty, and the entire Mobei lost its security, and keeping those women and children in Mobei is just to increase the strength of the tribes that occupy the Mobei grassland."

When Li Shiji heard this, he got up and hugged his fist to Li Chengqian and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Shengmingchen, is exactly what he meant, and Liang Guogong didn't want Mobei to fall into the hands of others, so he decided to let Mobei go." ”

Although Li Chengqian didn't look down on Fang Xuanling's move to let go of Mobei's surrender, it was also a helpless move at that time, and the so-called Mobei is now the place of Mongolia.

Under the conditions of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty could not afford to garrison troops there, but the lush grassland would definitely be occupied by nomads.

The Hui Mobei tribes who had just been defeated by the Tang Dynasty could be honest for a while, and it was best to seal an official and put them back to guard the border for the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shiji and sneered, "Why do you think that you can't think of the lonely king?"

Li Shiji originally thought that Li Chengqian understood, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

I heard Li Chengqian continue: "There is no young and strong in the land of Mobei as a guarantee, and those women and children will be snatched away by the people who occupy the land of Mobei sooner or later, it is better to take back Monan and give them a place to live, and they can also accumulate some strength for Datang."

With them, one can appease the mining pawns, and the other is that the daughters to be married in their various clans can be matched with the old pawns in the Tang Army.

After a few years of indoctrination, these people are no different from the people of the Tang Dynasty, and then crossing the desert to snatch back the land of Mobei is the law of Yong'an.

If you use the method of Fang Xuanling, although you can get peace for a while, it will eventually be a disaster after a long time. ”

Li Shiji thought about it, if he let those women and children go, he would inevitably be occupied by the tribes that would soon occupy Mobei. Those pawns who mine for Datang are also bound to find a way to escape, and when they run, they must run to where their wives and children are, and if they run to the other party's strength, they will increase by a point.

In addition, it is better to understand that the women to be married match the old pawns in the army, and the women in these tribes are married to the old pawns who have no daughter-in-law in the Tang Dynasty, and the children born are the people of the Tang Dynasty, and these children can go to Mobei to live, and from then on, Mobei is also the Tang Dynasty.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Holy Mingchen obeys the order." Li Shiji thought about this and immediately saluted Li Chengqian.
