Chapter 257: Things Are Getting Bigger

The most important thing in any woman's life must be to get married, and the most exciting thing in any man's life must be the cave room, but the guests at the banquet did not plan to let go of Yang Lin, which also has nothing to do with the fact that he usually has no shelves in private, and even the four major guards dare to twist the wine jar to toast him at this moment, which shows how many people come all the way to send blessings, so Yang Lin has become the same as many hangover groom officials on the wedding day, and the cave room did not do the most exciting thing that night, On the contrary, Li Lizhen, who was tossing, didn't sleep all night to serve him.

Yang Lin opened his eyes groggily after the sun rose, at this moment he hated himself why he arranged such a high level of liquor on the banquet, the headache was terrible, what surprised him was that under the red quilt and red curtain, a snow-white beauty was leaning sideways on the head of the bed, holding a glass in his hand, half of the glass of water in it was spilled, and the splash wet the corners of the beauty's clothes, but it did not wake her up.

The beauty is Li Lizhen, seeing this scene, Yang Lin felt guilty in his heart, slowly took the water cup from Li Lizhen's hand, and drank the remaining half of the water in it.

"Husband, you woke up, the concubine was too sleepy, she fell asleep, does your husband still need water?" Li Lizhi was awakened for a moment, took the cup in Yang Lin's hand in a panic, and hurriedly ran to the table in the room, it seems that she took care of Yang Lin all night in such a panic last night.

However, this time she was pulled by Yang Lin before she ran out of the corner of her clothes, and she would be thirsty if she drank too much alcohol, this Yang Lin knew that it was not suitable for sex after a hangover Yang Lin also knew, but it was a pity that in the face of such a big beauty, it felt like a waste to take her down Yang Lin a moment later, and in the same way, there was also the reason why his qigong practiced every day, and his qi and blood were extremely strong at the beginning of the morning, so. Turned over by the red waves, well, ah, the sound is endless, until noon rest.

Li Lizhi couldn't get out of bed, half of it was shy, half of it was just broken melon, it was painful, Yanglin slept a lot, and came to a fragrant morning exercise, and she was in good spirits. The wine was gone, and he personally went down to the kitchen to guide the cooks to make some good dishes, and sent them to the room in person.

In the Horse Mansion, there is no distinction between the master and the subordinate, Yanglin never emphasizes the superiority and inferiority, but the hired people themselves have an accurate standard of behavior for themselves, of course, most of these people are from Wangjia Village, today is the first day of the master's mother to take charge of the housework. The servants gathered in the front yard after lunch and waited for instructions, but after waiting for an hour, they only waited for four words, and one was as usual.

The Yanglin couple who ate a loving breakfast and I had time to pay attention to the servant's affairs. He was a steward-less master, as if he had never calculated his fortune, but it wasn't long before he thought so, for another time.

Three days later, Yang Lin took Li Lizhi back to the palace to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Since his father-in-law is the emperor, his mother-in-law has a lot, and she visited her after a lot of visits. I went for another morning, and I almost didn't turn Yanglin into a kowtow worm in this half a day, I used to be Prince Yitong, but now I am the son-in-law of Zheng'er, and the elders naturally want to meet one by one, and it was not until lunch that Yanglin received Li Er's banquet in the Ganlu Hall to entertain him.

"God! Now I have decided in the south of the Tang Dynasty, with the development of economic construction, the national strength will be on a higher level, the output of the top ten factories in the east and west is also growing steadily, the treasury is becoming more and more abundant, today there are ministers to play, taking advantage of the abundance of the treasury, the morale of the three armies is flourishing, in one fell swoop to march into Goryeo, to snow last year's shame, what do you think? "Li Shimin has never liked to talk to others, although he had a family banquet today, but he didn't say a word, and he talked to Yanglin about politics.

Historically, Goryeo was the death of Li Shimin, but now history has changed beyond recognition, and it is unlikely that Li Shimin will go to Goryeo to defeat the battle again, but Yanglin does not build yì Li Shimin is now sending troops to Goryeo, not to mention that Goryeo is cold in winter, and heavy snow covers the mountains, which is not conducive to the Tang army's firearms and infantry march, even if it can be used as the main attacker, the 10,000 cavalry army is still in the recuperation stage of replenishment training, fighting in the Northeast Plain, you have no mobility, even if you have powerful firearms, you will suffer heavy losses, with the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, There is no need to pay too many lives for the sake of Goryeo, a land with little output, so Yanglin does not build yì Li Shimin is now sending troops.

"Father, the sons feel that it is not appropriate to send troops at this time, have you ever thought about it, it is not just a country that declares war on Goryeo, although my Tang Dynasty has the advantage of new weapons, but Goryeo also has their natural advantages, not to mention that they have Murwei, Silla, Baekje and other countries as allies, the military strength of Goryeo alone is not weak, the number of cavalry in several of their countries is more than ours, maybe they will not let us play the best ability to attack and attack in the grassland, of course, with our military strength, at any cost, You can win, but even if you win, it is a miserable victory, and it is useless to fight with my Tang Dynasty, and to conquer Goryeo, at least wait for the strength of the 10,000 cavalry army, or even after the expansion. ”

Yanglin said what he thought in his heart, Li Shimin also entered into contemplation, when it comes to fighting, Yanglin is not as good as Li Shimin, after a little thought, Li Shimin knows the key, last year, the Zhenbei Army, the Zhendong Army and Hou Junji's 30 million cavalry all the way together did not get any bargain in the hands of Goryeo, now they have been vigilant, and they have united many countries as allies, so it is naturally more difficult to win, and this matter needs to be planned more.

"So in your opinion, what should my Datang do next?" Li Shimin's squeezing of Yanglin has long been a habit, and Gayin Yanglin's ideas have always been very out-of-the-box, which is different from the habitual thinking of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and there are often some surprises.

"Rectify the interior and march into the Western Regions."

Yang Lin said eight words briefly, of course, none of the things contained in these eight words are related to him, because in the next few years, his focus will be on Chang'an Academy, military and political affairs, just hand over to Li Er's hardcore team, of course, this team Li Er will not be used for a few years, and the old ministers will die one after another in the past few years, and a new group of ministers still need to be cultivated.

"Rectify the interior and march into the Western Regions? Instead, you say that these two things are necessary. ”

Because Li Shimin did not focus on the Western Regions a few years before ascending the throne as in history, but chose to march south, the Western Regions are not so important, but Yanglin knows that the reason why the Tang Dynasty in history is strong and prosperous is because the Tang Dynasty is the only dynasty in the past dynasties that has carefully managed the Western Regions, The Western Regions are no less big than the entire Central Plains, and it is conceivable that if the Western Regions are managed well, then the national strength of the Tang Dynasty will soar to what Cheng dù.

"Father, no matter what period, the internal rectification is what the imperial court must do, now the southern Xinjiang is newly determined, a new political environment is being born, the law adapted to local conditions, the bureaucratic system, and the direction of economic and people's livelihood development need to be carefully studied and planned by the imperial court, this is a never-ending work, if the development of a country's political system cannot keep up with his expansion speed, then the scene of the death of Qin, Sui and so on may appear, and the defects of the government are the biggest hidden danger of the collapse of the dominant position, which must be dealt with carefully, However, now my Tang Dynasty has abundant financial resources, advanced armaments, and it is not possible to expand without expansion, once the army does not fight for a few years, the combat effectiveness will be degraded very much, so Erchen Jian yì entered the Western Regions with a small number of mobile troops, it is best to unify the small countries in the Western Regions, establish their own state capital, if the Western Regions is well developed, it is better than the southern Xinjiang, in the past, it was because of the strong opponent of the Turks, they only knew how to plunder, not production, and now that the Turks have been destroyed, it is a good time for my Tang Dynasty to develop its power in the Western Regions, if you don't do it at this time, I'm afraid it will be cheaper in Tibet. ”

Yang Lin said this, Li Er fell into a long contemplation, in fact, before taking southern Xinjiang, the Western Regions was Li Er's first choice, but Li Jing did not disappoint him, three thousand horsemen defeated the Turks, but that place with Li Jing's retreat, back to anarchy, nominally the Tang Dynasty exterminated the Turks, that land should belong to the Tang Dynasty, so the Tang Dynasty's current march into the Western Regions can be described as justifiable, no need to care about the feelings of others, Goryeo is different, the Tang Dynasty fought Goryeo is completely an invasion war, the name is not justified, Although Li Shimin said that there was a minister who won Goryeo in one fell swoop, he did not say that more people opposed the Eastern Expedition to Goryeo, in fact, the people who marched into Goryeo were nothing more than the prince and Hou Junji's party, and now Hou Junji did not return to Chang'an on the grounds that he was seriously injured and his condition was severe.

"What do you mean, for the purpose of military training, and gradually bring all the Western Regions territory under your rule?" Li Shimin, with a certain complexion, seems to have made a resolution.

"Exactly." Yanglin didn't say much, Li Er is a smart person, a little bit thorough, and he doesn't even need Yanglin to build yì, Li Shimin himself will send young generals, as far-sighted as him, naturally he has seen a more long-term future, and now several major princes are old, and it is not suitable to dispatch, and the growth of the younger generation still needs to be trained in a war.

"Well, the political affairs are over, now let's talk about private matters! I intend to let Xiliang enter the palace as a concubine, what do you mean? Li Er took a sip, and suddenly changed his words.

"Damn." Yang Lin couldn't help but complain, and immediately covered his mouth again, today was originally a private banquet for my uncle to return to the door, you are going to talk about political affairs, Xiliang's age has long passed the age of retirement, I want to marry you and propose marriage by yourself! There is a reason for the father-in-law to ask his son-in-law to find a daughter-in-law for himself, and he is half a teacher of Xiliang anyway! When you got married, she became half of my mother-in-law.

"Ahem, there is nothing the minister can do about this, and I still need more efforts from my father!" No matter how unhappy Yang Lin was in his heart, he could only suppress his anger and anger.

"Bastard, is it so difficult for me to accept a concubine?" Long Yan was furious, Li Shimin roared directly, but he didn't want the entire Ganlu Hall to be in addition to the table of the two sons-in-law, there was also a table where Empress Changsun and many female dependents accompanied Li Liqing, looking at Empress Changsun's eyes like electricity, Li Er had a black line, it's over, it's a big deal.
