Li Su said: "First, most of the Western Regions have just been pacified, and they need a period of rest and consolidation. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Second, the imperial court has just signed a peace agreement with the four major powers in the Western Regions, and it is easy to arouse the disgust of these countries at this time, once they join forces to fight against the Tang Dynasty, Su Dingfang's army is after all the servant army of various countries, and its combat effectiveness is not too strong, and there is a possibility of failure.

Once the battle fails, the areas that have already been conquered in the Western Regions will easily get out of control, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

Third, the news from Su Dingfang was already nearly two months ago, and it would be another two months for the messenger to go back, and it was impossible to predict what kind of changes the situation would take.

Therefore, Erchen thought that it was better to give up expansion for the time being and make every effort to consolidate the existing areas in the Western Regions. ”

After listening to his words, Li Shimin was a little discouraged.

Li Jing and Fang Xuanling agreed with Li Su's opinion, and Li Shimin had no choice but to give up.

There is another reason why Li Su strongly opposes a war in the Western Regions - once a war breaks out in the Western Regions, Li Shimin will definitely send him back to the Western Regions to preside over the overall situation. He didn't want to go to the Western Regions anymore.

If there is no war, Li Jing and the others will disperse.

After they left, Li Shimin asked: "You said that you have something to do with me, what is it?" ”

Li Su said: "Father, the son of the emperor asked to resign from the posts of the grassland propaganda envoy and the Western Regions propaganda envoy. ”

Li Shimin was not happy when he heard it, and he said: "You are not right. I've dealt with the bull road and given some people a warning, why are you still in a mood? ”

Li Su said: "Father, isn't the son-in-law in an emotion, after so many years, the son-in-law has suffered less grievances?" In the past, Erchen didn't have any emotions, but now that Erchen is about to become an adult, how can he become more and more unproductive? ”

Li Shimin thought about it, his son has been hit a lot in the past few years, but he still made great contributions to the court, and he didn't see him make any emotions. So, he asked, "Then why did you resign?" ”

Li Su said: "The grassland has basically stabilized, there is Su Dingfang in the Western Regions, and the imperial court has also sent a large number of officials, and there is no problem. In the next few years, Datang will fully enter a period of recuperation and economic development.

Neither administering the region nor conducting conquests was the strong point of the retainers. The development of science and technology, the promotion of industry, agriculture and commerce are what Erchen is best at. Erchen plans to immerse himself in scientific research to promote the rapid economic development of Datang, and strive to make Datang's economic development enter a benign, healthy and high-speed development track within a few years.

When Datang's national strength increases several times, when the time comes, many surrounding countries will not have to fight, they will look at the wind. ”

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Your proposal is good, what are your specific plans?" ”

Li Su explained to him some laws governing economic development and some measures he was going to take. Li Shimin listened with relish, and in the end, he said: "Your ideas are all good, but there is a problem, my father has been unable to solve it so far, and this problem is the biggest obstacle to the development of Datang, do you know what it is?" ”

Li Su picked up the brush and wrote a few words on the paper.

After Li Shimin looked at it, he said: "Yes, that's this problem, these guys are the tumors on the Tang Dynasty, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the present, almost all dynasties have been destroyed in their hands, do you have any good solution to it?" ”

Li Su and Li Shimin talked secretly for a while, and Li Shimin was overjoyed and said, "Okay, it's really a good way." That's it! ”

Li Su said: "Father, this method is called boiling frogs in warm water, it is a long process, please be patient." ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "A few years, compared with the thousands of years of the Tang Dynasty, is nothing, I can afford to wait." ”

Li Su said: "Also, in order not to attract attention, Erchen plans to start with the reform of the military system first and inadvertently carry out actions. ”

Li Shimin said: "What should you do, report a plan, and I will be your backing." ”

After speaking, he stood up and said, "King Li Su of Liang, I have officially notified you to remove you from your position as the Xuanfu envoy of the grassland and the Western Regions. It is specially approved that you will not take up your post in the fiefdom of Xiangcheng and continue to serve as the deputy director of the research institute.

You still don't have to go to court in the future, I grant you a privilege to come to see me at any time in the future, without informing. ”

This privilege is amazing, only the eldest grandson Wuji has this privilege in the entire Tang Dynasty, that is, if the queen wants to see Li Shimin, she must also inform in advance and obtain Li Shimin's consent.

Li Su said: "Erchen obeys the order! Then he mischievously said, "You look like my father." ”

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Stinky boy, Lao Tzu is your father!" ”

Leaving the Taiji Palace, Li Su was excited in his heart and couldn't help singing: "I am watching the mountain scenery from the city tower, and I can hear the chaos outside the city......"

"Your Highness." At this moment, someone called him, and when he saw it, it turned out to be Hou Junji. He hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Father-in-law." ”

Hou Junji smiled: "Your Highness, it seems that you are in a good mood." ”

Li Su smiled: "It's okay." ”

Hou Junji said with a smile: "Your two lyrics are really exciting, and the minister will sing them now." ”

Li Su smiled and said, "Father-in-law, let's go have a few drinks." ”

Hou Junji said with a smile: "The minister has this intention. ”

Li Su said: "Then go to my house, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Liang Wangfu.

"Daddy, you're here!" Haitang saw Hou Junji and hurriedly came over to say hello.

Hou Junji said with a smile: "Hurry up and prepare some wine and food for me, I want to have a drink with His Highness." ”

Li Su and Hou Junji drank wine and talked about the years of conquest.

As soon as the topic of war was mentioned, Hou Junji's conversation box opened. He talked about the eventful years when he followed Li Shimin to fight in the south and the north, and talked about the 39 scars on his body, and his pride and attachment to the army spontaneously arose.

Li Su said: "Father-in-law, I have an idea, don't worry when you hear it." ”

When Hou Junji heard this, he felt a little bad. He was a shrewd man, and he immediately guessed that it had something to do with the military power in his hands.

Hou Junji said: "Don't say it yet, let the minister guess." Is it to let the ministers hand over the military power? ”

Li Su said: "Yes and no. ”

Hou Junji said in confusion: "Your Highness, just say it directly, the minister can't guess." ”

Li Su suggested: "Father-in-law, you should resign from the position of the right general in charge of the forbidden army." ”

Hou Junji is a pure soldier, and he has a unique position in the Tang Dynasty military system. He was an old man in Li Shimin's prince's mansion and made great contributions when Li Shimin seized power.

He followed Li Shimin to fight in the south and north, and it can be said that the world of the Tang Dynasty has one-third of his credit. Moreover, he is shrewd, and he has done a very good job in handling the relationship with Li Shimin, and has won Li Shimin's trust, which is also the reason why he served as the general of the forbidden army.

However, Hou Junji also has a fatal weakness, he is pampered and arrogant, and he has a short temper, which has offended many people. During the war years, these shortcomings of his could be tolerated. But in times of peace, these shortcomings are fatal.

Historically, he followed the deposed prince Li Chengqian to rebel and was eventually killed.

Li Su is determined to change his fate.
