(2nd Update)

Chongwen Temple. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Siyuan couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he came into contact with Li Congjing's eyes, what he saw from these eyes was not the depth that a prince should have as a prince, not the scheming that a master should have as the helmsman of the empire, or even a son's gratitude to his father for his care.

The eyes are indescribable, and contain too many colors: firm, confident, sharp, open-minded, inclusive, heroic, enterprising, wise......

If there is one word to describe the color of this eye, it is to be above board.

If there is one word to describe the meaning of this look, it is Haoran righteousness.

Li Siyuan couldn't understand for a while, and couldn't understand why Li Congjing suddenly had such eyes.

Li Siyuan couldn't accept it for a while, and couldn't accept why Li Congjing suddenly became tall.

That is by no means the reaction that Li Congjing should have in the current atmosphere of conversation.

But Li Congjing just stood in front of him like this.

What Li Siyuan didn't know was that at this moment, many knots in Li Congjing's heart had finally been figured out.

But Li Siyuan will soon know and will understand, because Li Congjing has already spoken.

Li Congjing opened his mouth this time, and his tone changed, no longer the previous sourness, hesitation, and obscurity, but like a rushing river, the river is surging, the waves are 3,000, and the current is 3,000 feet.

Li Congjing looked at Li Siyuan, "Father has three strategies, and Congjing doesn't think it's good." ”

Li Siyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? Why? ”

Li Congjing asked Li Siyuan: "The world is so big, how can a king rule the country for thousands of miles?" ”

Li Siyuan didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't hesitate to answer, "Use virtuous ministers and good officials." ”

Li Congjing asked Li Siyuan again: "The world is so big, why did the king conquer Kyushu?" ”

Li Siyuan replied: "Order the generals to command the elite armor." ”

Li Congjing asked Li Siyuan: "The world is so big, why does the king command all the people?" ”

Li Siyuan replied: "Teach the artifact to the virtuous, so that the virtuous herdsmen." ”

Li Congjing Si asked Li Siyuan: "The world is so big, how can the king save the troubles?" ”

Li Siyuan replied: "Let the monarch and the people be of one heart and one mind." ”

Li Congjing asked Li Siyuan: "The world is so big, why does the Tang Dynasty dominate the world?" ”

Li Siyuan replied: "I, the people of the Tang Dynasty, everyone can conquer the four seas!" ”

Li Congjing leaned over and bowed: "Yes! ”

Li Siyuan raised his eyebrows and bowed his head, and was silent.

Li Congjing stood up, and at this time, the prince in a black dragon robe was heroic, and he said: "Today, there are princes inside, and there are four Yi outside, my Datang wants to strengthen the military and government internally, and my Datang wants to conquer outside without ministers, who is the one to rely on?" The people of the Tang Dynasty too! The king must win the loyalty of his people to be the king of the empire, and the soldiers must win the trust of the king to be the soldiers of the empire! ”

Li Congjing paced back and forth in the hall, but his pace was extremely slow, almost one step at a time, "Now I am the master, Mo is a minister, how vast is the world, how can I do it myself every time I conquer a place?" Today I am jealous, but in the future I can trust anyone? Mo Li, from Jing to Jiaoye, get along day and night, more than 20 years, if because of the enemy envoy's words, a few actions, I will be jealous of him, the battle to change the commander, try to ask the future world, who can get my trust? In the future, who will dare to serve me? ”

"My Datang wants to clear the universe, my Datang wants to expand the territory, my Datang wants to conquer Siyi, today by Mo Li, tomorrow by King Lu, the day after tomorrow by Xia Luqi, and then by Jiang Wenwei, not only to rely on his people, but also to give them to the artifact, why not trust them? If you don't trust the soldiers, how can the empire conquer the world, if you don't trust the officials, how can the Tang Dynasty govern the country, and if you don't trust the people, how can the Tang Dynasty be a strong country in the world? ”

"Guo Ziyi is disloyal? Is Li Guangbi unjust? From the beginning, was he intended to be treasonous? Is Guo Chongtao really serious? The generals led the troops to fight in the Quartet, and there were many meritorious deeds, but the court did not reward the meritorious heroes, and was suspicious for no reason, and often placed loyal ministers under house arrest, and even raided their homes and exterminated the clan, and then used eunuchs, courtiers, and relatives, and eunuchs, courtiers, and relatives saw that the generals died because of loyalty, how could they be loyal to the court? When the generals of the world saw that their ancestors died because of their merits, how could they dare not gather to protect themselves? ”

After Li Congjing finished speaking, Li Siyuan fell into deep thought, and said after half a sound: "However, An Lushan and Shi Siming's generation, shouldn't they not be trusted by Xuanzong?" Meng Zhixiang and Li Shaobin, shouldn't they be valued by the imperial court? Since this number can be reversed, how can I trust others not to oppose it? ”

Li Congjing's expression was solemn, "This time, that time!" ”

Li Siyuan looked at Li Congjing, "How to explain it in detail?" ”

Li Congjing leaned down and bowed, "This all depends on Your Majesty's work!" ”

Li Siyuan's smile was a little puzzled, and then a little clear, "How?" ”

Li Congjing got up, his voice was clear, "Since Tiancheng, Your Majesty has made great efforts, first to dismiss the Daoist army, and the marshals of the feudal towns are all good, and this is to show the world with benevolence and righteousness." Then, His Majesty implemented a new policy to benefit the people, so the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Later, His Majesty refined the forbidden army, cut out the cunning old and weak, and reused the loyal and brave people, Dingjingnan and Pingchuan, and the soldiers were rewarded according to their merits, so the soldiers praised virtue, and everyone returned to their hearts; After that, His Majesty rectified the rule of officials, punished unjudicial officials, and enabled virtuous people, so the officialdom atmosphere was clear, and officials, scholars, and people all praised His Majesty's sage, so the world returned to the heart. ”

Li Congjing continued: "From Tiancheng to Changxing, in the past six years, Your Majesty has been benevolent in government, rich and strong in the army, foreign expeditions are not ministers, and the world is powerful. All my Tang Dynasty generals do not think of war, and intend to calm the world for His Majesty and serve the country with the ambition of the whole country; All my officials in the Tang Dynasty do not want to make progress, and intend to clean up the country and society for His Majesty, so as to leave a name in history; All the people of the Tang Dynasty do not want to work hard, and intend to dedicate their seven-foot body to His Majesty, in order to make contributions to the empire! ”

Li Congjing looked at Li Siyuan, and said seriously and sacredly: "Today is different from the time of the Anshi Rebellion, and this all depends on Your Majesty's hard work day and night!" At this moment, since the empire is different, the generals should serve the country wholeheartedly, how can they have a second heart and go against the general trend to kill themselves? At this moment, how can Your Majesty abandon his previous achievements and destroy the Great Wall? ”

When Li Siyuan heard this, he twisted his beard and smiled.

Li Congjing said: "Throughout the ages, whenever the country is prosperous, the king does not trust the courtiers and generals, so Taizong opened up thousands of miles, so the world came from all directions; But when the king is suspicious of his courtiers, he will die in danger, and the country will decline, so Shenzhou will collapse and the people will not survive! ”

Speaking of this, Li Congjing said goodbye, "Congjing is not talented, I am willing to follow Your Majesty and strive to make my country prosperous and create a prosperous world!" After a pause, "And the generals in the world, Mo Li, and the most trustworthy person, so in the battle of Jianghuai, I hope that Your Majesty will not change the commander, and will not send Cong Jing to disturb the situation, but let Mo Li control everything, so that he will defeat Huainan, and be of great use!" ”

......

Yangzhou.

Mo Li detained Lu Jiang and Kuai Ao in front of the tent, held a lamp high, and explained what happened, causing the soldiers to be angry and want to eat their flesh, and then ordered: "Behead!" ”

Mo Li's military order came out, and suddenly behind the onlookers, a loud voice came out, and then Li Congke led people to squeeze through the crowd, and arrived in front of Mo Li, "Leave people under the big handsome knife!" ”

Mo Li looked at Li Congke, "What does the general mean?" ”

"These two can't be killed!" Li Congke stood in front of Mo Li, his expression solemn and his tone solemn.

"Why can't you kill?" Mo Li asked.

"These two people have a great relationship, and they die rashly, I am afraid that there will be trouble!" Li Congke's words are a little confusing.

"Is the general trying to intercede?" Mo Li's voice was cold.

"It's not to intercede, but to act impartially!" Li Congke didn't give an inch.

"What if I have to kill?" Mo Li's eyes were pulled down.

Li Congke's eyes flickered, and he suddenly got closer, and his voice was mysterious, "Please take a step to speak." ”

Suddenly, the two came to the tent, but there was no one else in the tent except their own guards.

Li Congke threw the Huainan envoy who had intended to "assassinate" him into the tent - this person had already committed suicide by poisoning after finishing his words, and pointed to the man and asked Mo Li: "Do you know who this is?" ”

Mo Li glanced at the man, and then faced Li Congke, "Why don't you tell me general?" ”

"This man went to the last general's tent with the intention of assassinating the last general." Li Congke said.

"As a general, the general is like a forest, so naturally he will not be succeeded by this person." Don't deviate.

"What the marshal said is true, but after this person was captured by the last general, he said something." Li Congke said.

"Not a good word, I guess." Don't deviate.

"The words of an assassin are never good." Li Congke said.

"But it was the words from this man's mouth that made the general hurry over." Don't deviate.

"Yes, yes. Doesn't the marshal want to know what he said? Li Congke asked.

"Why don't you tell me about it?" Don't deviate.

"This person said that the last general blocked the way of the Jianghuai King." Li Congke said in a deep voice.

"It's really unfortunate that Lu Jiang and Kuai Ao were lobbying me to stand on my own and be called the king of Jianghuai." Mo Li sneered.

"According to this, the last general is in the way of the marshal to become the king." Li Congke said.

"The Buddha often talks about cause and effect, but this cause and effect is very obvious." Don't leave the eight winds without moving.

"Not only that, but the guards of the previous last general also heard the Huainan envoys talking to each other, saying that the marshal was plotting with Lu Jiang and Kuai Ao to make a big deal." Li Congke said.

"This major event is naturally called Wang Jianghuai." Don't deviate.

"But the last general did not believe." Li Congke said.

"If the general believes, he won't talk nonsense with me here." Don't deviate.

"But the last general did not know what they were doing this for?" Li Congke asked.

"It's nothing more than to make the general suspicious of me, and cause you and me to be incompatible." Mo Li said lightly.

"If that's the case, this generation of thieves has bad intentions." Li Congke gritted his teeth and said.

"The intention is not unpredictable, but it is just to obtain a favorable situation in the battle of Jianghuai." Don't deviate.

"Presumably, the handsome man's thoughts are the same as the last general: this generation must not be allowed to succeed!" Li Congke said.

"After listening to the general's words, I can be sure that the general thinks the same as me." Don't deviate.

"Then the general will be relieved." Li Congke breathed a sigh of relief.

"But I don't know what the general is doing this." Don't deviate.

"What do you mean by that?" Li Congke was puzzled.

"Why doesn't the general suspect me?" Mo Li asked.

"Da Shuai is the person most valued by the prince." Li Congke looked at Mo Lidao.

"Probably good." Don't deviate.

"The last general believes in the prince, and naturally he also believes in the handsome." Li Congke explained the reason.

"The general has such an idea, presumably the prince will be very happy." Mo Li nodded and smiled.

"The prince is happy, you and I are both happy." Li Congke also laughed.

"That being the case, why can't Lu Jiang and Kuai Ao be killed?" Mo Li asked.

"It's not that you can't kill it, it's that you can't be killed by the marshal." Li Congke said.

"I want to hear about it." Don't deviate.

"These two people have been acting abnormally recently, which has made many people in the army quite suspicious, presumably Your Majesty already knows about this matter." Li Congke said.

"Perhaps." Don't deviate.

"That's why the marshal can't kill them." Li Congke said.

"What does the general mean?" Mo Li asked.

"Escorting Luoyang is the safest move." Li Congke said.

Mo Li looked at Li Congke, "The general thinks about me like this, and he is really grateful." ”

Li Congke smiled, "The battle is outside, the big war is imminent, the combination of generals and commanders is the most important, who will not be able to get along with military merits?" ”

Mo Li smiled, "If you can't get along with military merits, you can't get along with wealth and nobility." ”

Li Congke laughed, "Fortunately, there is no such problem with the general." ”

Mo Li said: "Since this is the case, escort these two to Luoyang and let the imperial court deal with it." ”

Li Congke said: "Good." ”
