Chapter 234: The World Is So Big
Listening to the words of the little eunuch, Liu Hao was stunned. In his impression, the emperor should be the kind of one-hearted man who is staged on TV, who dares to object to his words being dragged out and beheaded every minute, how dare those ministers quarrel with him? Not only quarreled, but also dared to throw things with the emperor, is this still the Tang Dynasty? Or is this the root of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty?
Liu Hao couldn't understand that if it was the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, it was estimated that no one would dare to slap the table with the emperor or anything. There are pros and cons to the high concentration of imperial power, but collective wisdom is obviously more pioneering, after all, one person is short, and one person's decision-making is easily affected by emotions, emotions, etc. But a team is different, maybe everyone has their own selfishness, but when everyone moves out for their own reasons, they can always find a suitable direction.
Perhaps this is the reason why Li Longji was able to prosper rapidly during the Kaiyuan period. But it cannot be denied that although the situation was turbulent and unstable during Wu Zetian's time, it was only limited to the upper class. To put it bluntly, it is the fluctuation caused by Wu Zetian and the upstarts around her, and the struggle with the old family. This issue; The Li Longji period still exists, but the family clan has been suppressed by Wu Zetian and is already weak, and while Li Longji is developing with peace of mind, those family members are also recovering.
When it came to the Anshi Rebellion, the reason for the turmoil was not only the rebellion of An Lushan's gang, but the words of the rebels along the way could not deal a fatal blow to the entire Tang Dynasty. An Lushan is just a lead, detonating the powder keg of those families rebelling against the Li family's rule, they urgently need to change the emperor, change the obedient, easy to fool, and have no ambitions.
This is also the reason why at the end of the Tang Dynasty, those big families appeared one after another. The imperial power has fallen, and the Tang Dynasty has become a stage for the big families to play with each other, and the emperor and the entire Li clan have become spectators. From the beginning of the Han Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years, the family family played a not very glorious role, until after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the group of soldiers and ruffians took turns to play as emperors, and by the way, the family with the puppet line was completely flattened.
They may not have the political sense, or the political foresight. But what these military emperors hate the most is to play tricks, and the sacrifice of the family family ensured that Zhao Kuangyin established the Great Song Dynasty smoothly, after all, there are fewer people who make stumbling blocks, and his enemies are just warlords who are similar to themselves. However, what makes people sigh is that Zhao Kuangyin was afraid of the Chen Qiaoyi mutiny again and took back the power of the generals, which also led to the extremely prosperous situation of the Great Song Dynasty as a whole.
Liu Hao followed the little eunuch to the palace gate, but met Jin Wuwei's interrogation.
The man on duty ignored the introduction of the little eunuch and looked straight at Liu Hao. They came from Chang'an, and Liu Hao's name had long been heard, but what made them even more hot was that it was said that Liu Hao had countless money. His original intention was to take the opportunity to ask for two drinks or something.
However, when Liu Hao took out the three imperial gold medals from his arms, this person was completely speechless. Isn't that bullying?
Liu Hao's previous life was extremely hard, although he was very generous to his subordinates and those who helped him, but he was not a boy with scattered wealth. If Liu Hao is slaughtered as a wronged leader, it is estimated that the final result will be to slaughter himself.
Liu Hao doesn't have the heart to worry about these now, he wants to know now if Li Longji has any compensation for himself, this time don't praise him in vain, Liu Hao wants to be practical.
As the little eunuch turned left and right, the only thought in Liu Hao's heart now was that the entire palace was too fucking big. When I used to go to college, I thought my campus was big enough, but compared to the palace, it was like a kindergarten. I don't know how these eunuchs and palace maids cultivate, and they won't get lost.
When Liu Hao came to the imperial study, he happened to meet Li Song, who was patrolling the palace.
As soon as Li Song saw Liu Hao, he whispered: "You can be regarded as coming, starting from this morning, General Li Yi, Zhang Xianggong, as well as Xiao Xiang and Zhang Jiuling, are all patting the table with Your Majesty for your affairs." General Li Yi kicked His Majesty's table, and His Majesty is still sulking. ”
Liu Hao was stunned when he heard it, it was not easy for so many people to stand up for themselves. However, they should be a four-rank general in order to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, but their home was almost copied. Their old ministers who are now calling for wind and rain, if someone jumps out to play such a play when it is time to pay tribute, it is estimated that everyone will jump to their feet.
Liu Hao smiled and said to Li Song: "Thank you brother for bothering, I will persuade Your Majesty later." ”
Li Song nodded: "That's fine, anyway, the matter has already happened, Your Majesty will definitely not sit idly by." If you go and quarrel with Your Majesty, it is better to calmly say what you want. Consult everything and do not be angry. You are not one of those old ministers, your foundation is still shallow, don't make a mistake. ”
The little eunuch went into the imperial study to spread the word, while Liu Hao waited outside in a proper manner.
In the blink of an eye, the little eunuch came out, and Li Longji let Liu Hao in.
After Liu Hao entered, he saw Li Longji sitting at the desk in a daze. Unlike the radiant look when he inspected the military academy, Li Longji now looks a little tired.
As soon as Liu Hao bowed his hand and was about to salute, Li Longji waved his hand and said, "Sit down." The caravans are gone? ”
Liu Hao nodded: "Let's go, let me have something to do?" ”
Li Longji opened his eyes and glanced at him: "There are dozens of corpses at the entrance of the county government, can they be okay?" ”
Liu Hao smiled: "Just let the county government's head arrest investigate the case, and Your Majesty has also begun to solve the case?" ”
Li Longji sighed: "I won't go around with you, this matter was not done by Li Mao, whether you believe it or not, I just said this." ”
Liu Hao said: "No matter who did it, I need an explanation." Even if you say whose groom instructed it, I still believe it. ”
Li Longji's face sank: "Yesterday, Li Mao has been drinking because he was slapped by me. I know you've suffered, but can you let this matter go? ”
Liu Hao looked at Li Longji and asked, "How to put it?" Tie up my whole family and let them kill? If I had provoked this matter, I would not say a word now, and I would have killed or killed him at His Majesty's orders. But I've suffered an unjustified disaster, and someone comes to my house and wants to kill my whole family, even if it's a bloodless person, it won't just be just counted, right? ”
Li Longji looked at Liu Hao: "Do you have a very strong team of people in your hands?" Otherwise, there were so many people last night, and Ziyang Zhenren alone couldn't resist it at all. ”
As soon as Liu Hao heard Li Longji's words, his eyes immediately became sharp: "From the beginning, everything I did was for self-preservation. I didn't want to be rich and rich, I wanted to live in peace and stability in this Tang Dynasty. But since I opened heaven and earth, how many people have been dirty with me? If it weren't for a few masters around me, I don't know how many times I'd died. ”
Li Longji stared at Liu Hao and said, "This is not a reason! I will not allow anyone to threaten me in any way. No matter who it is, no matter how much credit he has, no! ”
Liu Hao said-for-tat: "Then I will also tell you, my master has given me a lot of warnings, and I will also reveal a little to you, Datang has been on a downhill road since this year." Li Mao, whom you value, will die in the war with the Khitan. In addition, in the next few years, the wind and rain will not be smooth, and the grain harvest will fail year after year. I'm not saying this to show off anything, I'm not threatening you, it's all true. If I weren't from the Tang Dynasty, I wouldn't bother to care about this. ”
After Li Longji heard this, he couldn't sit down at all, he stood up and looked at Liu Hao coldly: "What are you talking about?" ”
Liu Hao nodded: "Do you think it's normal for cement and military schools to appear?" Don't you think it's too abrupt? Don't even think about imprisoning me and torturing me. What I have done, no one can come without me. I did this because I didn't want the big turmoil in Datang to happen more than ten years later. ”
Li Longji was stunned: "What turmoil?" ”
Liu Hao said word by word: "The feudal town rebelled!" ”
Li Longji shook his head: "This is impossible!" ”
Liu Hao smiled: "Nothing is impossible. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty now listen to whoever leads them, and I established the military academy for this purpose. I want them to know that what they are doing is entirely for His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, not for a certain general or official. Besides, this world is very big, if Datang is always in a safe corner, I am afraid that sooner or later it will be annexed by foreigners. ”
Li Longji looked at Liu Hao and asked: "My Datang is the loyalty of heaven and earth, is it for the sake of Datang to occupy those poor and remote lands of foreign tribes?" ”
Liu Hao smiled: "Your Majesty, you are wrong, the ground of foreign races is very large, there are also mountains, lakes, rivers and dense forests, as well as rich mineral deposits and countless wealth. Land is the most valuable thing at any time. If Your Majesty wants Datang to become stronger and stronger, then go abroad and let those people see how strong Datang is. No matter how good someone else's is, it will be someone else's after all, but only by grasping all those lands in my own hands can I strengthen the power of my Datang. ”
After Liu Hao finished speaking, he walked to the table, spread out a piece of rice paper, and began to slowly draw a map of the world according to the memory in his mind.
Although Li Longji was curious, he was still skeptical of Liu Hao's words. He felt that what Liu Hao said was too unbelievable, there was still a big land outside Datang, all of which was broken by chickens and dogs, so that Li Longji didn't even have the ** to conquer. Quietly watched Liu Hao draw on the paper, neither urging nor speaking.
After Liu Hao finished painting, he also carefully circled the current boundary of the Tang Dynasty, and asked Li Longji to see how small a piece of land he said he owned in the world.
Liu Hao pointed to the world map and said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, look at it, this is the general map of the whole world, look at me, although the area of Datang is very large, but compared to the whole world, the land of Datang is still too little." The world is so big, why does Your Majesty always stare at it? ”
