Chapter 109: Men and Politics

"The old man has never heard of this. But the old man looks at the virtuous nephew like this, could it be that the virtuous nephew recognizes this princess? ”

Uncle Liu laughed, not to mention in Jiangsu, but in Yangzhou, Tianyu rarely moves, how can he know the princess in the capital? It's just that a few days ago, Tianyu happened to hear a storyteller mention this matter, and the gentleman said that the emperor would marry a princess Wencheng to Songtsen Gampo, the prince of Tubo. At present, Tianyu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that this matter was said by the old gentleman one by one, so he also had a rude act. "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Yuan Dashen, saying that the letter sent to me by Old Man Han today, if nothing else, it should have been written by you, since you can predict my future fate. Now that I'm borrowing you to block it, it's my fate, you shouldn't blame me, right? Besides, this is the most suitable person for you, I don't believe anyone else, let alone let everyone believe it?

"Oh? Dare to ask whose storyteller is the virtuous nephew? It's so powerful! Even the prince of Tibet knew so much. "Our Lord Liu is even more curious, I didn't expect a storyteller to have such a deep understanding of state affairs, it seems that this person is by no means an idle person. This virtuous nephew can make friends with such a powerful person, which is even more admirable.

"It's Mr. Yuan from Xinghualou."

"Mr. Yuan? When did Yangzhou have this number one? Have you ever heard of it, Brother Li? ”

"I don't know very well about this."

It's noisy, isn't it? In other words, this old man Yuan also came to the capital, and even Li Shimin praised him, and a Beijing official like Uncle Liu shouldn't know about it. It seems that this old man Yuan wants to deliberately keep a low profile, since this is the case, then Lao Tzu will not be able to sell him anymore.

"That's it, when it's free, the old man will go to the Xinghualou to find out in person. Virtuous nephew, let's go on to say, but you tell me what the emperor has said about the Turkic invasion? ”

"Uncle Liu, don't make fun of the kid. Isn't this all obvious? How could Uncle Liu not know? ”

"The virtuous nephew is talking about ......"

"Youliang, let's talk about it. This matter is under the jurisdiction of Ling Zun, so you will inform Uncle Liu. "It seems that Uncle Liu and his father have become bigger, so they can't even get into the eyes of these little things of recruitment, and they don't care much about it. However, although the conscription matter is under the jurisdiction of Youliang's father, this matter is also Li Shimin's big meaning. How could Dad and Uncle Liu really not care at all?

In fact, this is really our Li Tianyu thinking too much, like this conscription is indeed not under the jurisdiction of the governor and the governor, but under the jurisdiction of the local prefect, after all, the local household registration is in the prefect's yamen. Therefore, it is normal that Li Jiacheng and Liu Yunlong did not ask. On the contrary, if the two are too careful, they will be suspected of "overstepping their authority", although their official positions are much larger than those of the prefect. After all, if this kind of army recruitment involves the national level, the emperor will naturally not let some feudal princes interfere anymore, but disperse the prefects from all over the country to come to jurisdiction, which can be regarded as a privilege that the prefect has.

"Tianyu is talking about conscription. Lord Liu, Lord Li, just issued a notice a few days ago, the emperor hired a lot of money to requisition aspiring men between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five in our Tang Dynasty, but in order to form a team, when the spring of the next year begins, he will order an expedition to the Turks. Chen Youliang didn't know what Li Tianyu wanted to express, but after he listened to Li Tianyu, he immediately thought of it.

"Well, the old man heard about it, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. It seems that the virtuous nephew and Chen Gongzi still have a heart, but the old man is embarrassed, and it is really terrifying! With that, Lord Liu looked at our Lord Li.

"Hahahaha......" Master Li smiled heartily.

"Virtuous nephew, he knows the emperor's mind so well, if he can enter the court, he will definitely win the emperor's favor."

"Uncle Liu is really a mistake, how can Tianyu be virtuous, he is just a clown who likes to play a little clever, how can he compare with Uncle Liu's great wisdom and foolishness, which is rare and confused?"

"Haha, the virtuous nephew is well versed in the way of being an official. If you are wise and foolish, it is rare to be confused. To put it bluntly, isn't this official just to learn these eight words? It's a pity that even you, Uncle Liu, and I couldn't do this well, so I offended ......"

"Lord Yanagi!" Father Li, who was on the side, saw that Lord Liu was going to talk to everyone about this inappropriate officialdom in his own house, so he spoke out in time to stop him.

"Well, let's not talk about that. Virtuous nephew, although the emperor has made a decision on this, the old man still wants to hear what you think? Oh, and Chen Gongzi, you just have to talk freely, and you should have nothing to do to chat and eat. Our Lord Liu looked at the two juniors with great interest and said.

"Uncle Liu looks up to Tianyu. It is really impossible to talk about Gao Jian, but Tianyu does not dare to agree with the current emperor's approach. Of course, Li Tianyu knew that Uncle Liu's discussion of these political topics with him was a joke, and this was also on the same level as the anecdotes of a bunch of big men who had heard and seen in later generations getting together to talk about the various badness of the ruling party of the Celestial Empire and the national leaders. Besides, none of the people here will harm themselves at all, and even if they do, don't they have to take advantage of themselves? What's more, Lao Tzu has never been afraid of the consciousness of freedom of speech, and he has always said whatever he wants, is it possible that he will be recorded, leave evidence, and then report to the imperial court, so that Li Shimin can send me SF Express across the province? If it was really so terrifying, I think that Uncle Wei Zheng Wei beside Li Shimin would have been cut by him many times.

"Oh? Please also ask the virtuous nephew to hurry up to the old man. When Lord Liu heard Li Tianyu's words, he was instantly very interested. Before Father Li and Mother Li on the side had time to look at Li Tianyu, our Lord Liu opened his mouth like this, and at the same time did not forget to hand over a reassuring look to Lord Li.

Of course, our Father Li and Mother Li naturally knew in their hearts that this Lord Liu would never harm their Bao'er, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, if one day, after these such rebellious words and deeds reach the ears of the emperor in the palace, the consequences are really not what they dare to speculate. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart, I hope this treasure won't say anything earth-shattering.

"Uncle Liu, I'll tell you the truth, in fact, Tianyu has always been very opposed to sacrificing a woman's marriage to achieve some kind of political goal. Of course, I also know that the emperor is in line with the trend of the times, after all, there are many lessons from the past. But have you ever wondered why we have to be friendly with them? Of course, if you want to carry out national integration as a whole, it is very good and powerful, if you send some women, why not send some men? And then multiplied, and after a few years, it was you and me, and I had you, and their next generation began to accept our Datang lifestyle and customs and life values, oh, I mean the pursuit of a lifetime. In this way, even if they want to have any more rebellions, it will be at the same level as the "**" and "**", and it will not have much impact at all. ”

It was not only our Lord Liu who was present, but even Lord Li and Mother Li were dumbfounded, and Chen Youliang also seemed to understand something, frowning and thinking, as for our little Zhengtai, he took the opportunity to eat and drink nonsense with a mentality that he had nothing to do with himself.

"What the virtuous nephew said is really incredible. But what if the people we sent were not only not assimilated by them, but assimilated by them? This undoubtedly made my Tang Dynasty more rebels and thieves. ”

"I don't think it's basically possible on that. First of all, our Datang has a large population, a thin foundation, ah no, a thick foundation, a large river, rich products, and the strongest national strength. Looking at the Tang nation, it has already had thousands of years of culture and heritage, and its population base ranks first in the world. So how can this piece of the sea be stained and stinky when you soak in urine? Secondly, I would like to ask Uncle Liu, what do you think are the purpose of those Hun barbarians who have been invading my Tang Dynasty for many years? And our Datang is obviously so strong, why don't we take the initiative to invade them? Li Tianyu's words were indeed very cheerful, and he didn't care at all that he was indecent at the dinner table. This made our Li Mu and Li Fu couldn't help but be embarrassed for a moment. However, at the moment, Father Li is seeing that Li Tianyu is becoming more and more unfamiliar, he never expected that his Bao'er could have such an opinion, it stands to reason that these things should only be discussed by those generations of old ministers in the court all day long.

"This, I think it's their thieves who covet my great fortune in the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes, that's right, let's take the projectile island country Dongying and the Turks on horseback, they are both small countries with scarce resources, not that I brag, as long as the products of their country can be eaten for another hundred years, they will die. Of course, the premise of this is that we in Datang do not engage in trade with them, exchange materials, and spread civilization. As the old saying goes, be prepared for danger in times of peace, so they understand that if they do not carry out aggression and expansion abroad, their nation will sooner or later decline and perish. And the best target of this aggression and expansion can only be our Datang. That's why they are now harassing our evil deeds from time to time. Fortunately, now that our Datang country is strong, their aggression is tantamount to a mayfly shaking a tree, and a mantis arm is used as a car. But if we don't think about danger in times of peace like them, then we will be burned and plundered by them for hundreds of years, well, or rather, wait, I'll calculate, uh, it should be more than 1,300 years later. ”

Li Tianyu saw that as soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned, even Cui Hao Xiaozhengtai, who had just taken the opportunity to eat and drink, also stopped, and looked at Li Tianyu incredulously without saying a word. Li Tianyu was instantly dumbfounded when he saw the situation, bastard, why can't Lao Tzu control his mouth, it's good now, just care about himself, and now it's time to give the whole SB.

"Uncle Liu? Father? Mother? Friends Liang? Little Horse? "......Li Tianyu gently shouted everyone one by one, but found that everyone didn't pay attention to his calls at all, but continued to look at him blankly, and didn't know if they were still thinking about his words in their heads. So Li Tianyu had to pretend to be unwell and sneeze loudly, which called everyone's attention back.

"Ah, virtuous nephew, is virtuous nephew okay?" The first to react was our Lord Liu, who asked with great concern.

When did this Bao'er become so concerned about state affairs, and even knew about that Dongying. Listening to what he said, I am afraid that he also knows Nadongying and the Turks very well, which is really strange. I haven't seen him read any books on weekdays, at most, he just went to a teahouse to listen to and listen to books. Could it be that these are what he heard from going to the teahouse every day to listen to books? But it's not like it, these people who see and recognize a teahouse to tell a story, even Lord Liu, who has been an official in the capital and talks about state affairs in the court every day, is also so surprised by this. How could he, a bastard boy who had never seen the world, suddenly have such insight? He would even make bold speculations about what would happen hundreds of years from now! Our father Li became more and more frightened the more he thought about it, and at the same time, he looked at Li Tianyu and became even more puzzled, wondering if the person in front of him was his "Bao'er". And although our mother Li is also full of surprise in her heart, but she also has a trace of joy, it seems that her Bao'er has been really reborn after the last catastrophe, and she no longer has to worry about his sad face every day, depressed. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look proud in her eyes when she looked at Li Tianyu.

Of course, in addition to Li Tianyu, the most calm people present are our Chen Youliang and Cui Hao Xiaozhengtai. Chen Youliang has long been surprised by Li Tianyu's shocking remarks, if he really makes Li Tianyu become a picture of Li Bao'er who is not good at words and sentimental, he will not be able to adapt to it. But he was also a little indignant in his heart, saying that Tianyu rarely saw him play all day, and most of the time he was with himself, could it be that he secretly learned these things when he went home while he was away? It's so hateful, if I don't pay attention to it a little, I will be surpassed by the kid. And our Cui Hao Xiao Zhengtai was surprised at the moment because of Brother Tian's last sentence, how did Brother Tian know that Dongying would burn and plunder us in the future? And you can still know such a definite time. Could it be that he came to deceive people by talking nonsense? But didn't he calculate it just now, if it was really a blind guess, he wouldn't have to calculate it again, and he casually said that it would be over after a few years, anyway, everyone didn't know if it was true or false, how could he be debunked.

"Uncle Xie Liu cares, Tianyu is fine." Saying that, Li Tianyu didn't forget to use his index finger to slap the tip of his nose left and right, pretending to be "I'm fine". He thought to himself, even if Lao Tzu is fine, but now that he has seen your adverse reactions, I am afraid that he will also be fine. Now I just want to change the topic, I'm afraid it's not so easy.

"The old man listened to what the virtuous nephew just said, it seems that the virtuous nephew knows this Dongying and the Turks very well. I don't know where the virtuous nephew found out about ......"

"Ancient books! Ancient! When Tianyu was bored, he would go to look through some ancient books, which had various detailed records of Nadongying and the Turks. As for what Tianyu said afterwards, it is just speculation, speculation! ”

"I see. The virtuous nephew said that if he assimilated those barbarians, how should he do it? Although our Lord Liu said this, he didn't believe it in his heart, but he couldn't think of a better explanation, so he had to give up.

"This, in fact, Tianyu doesn't understand it very well......" Li Tianyu changed this time and said modestly.

"Eh, what is the opinion of the virtuous nephew, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, the right is just boring to chat with the old man about some family life, is it possible that the virtuous nephew can't even trust the old man?" After listening to Li Tianyu's bottomless remarks, Lord Liu became excited and out of control, naturally looking forward to more follow-ups.

Uncle Liu said seriously, but Tianyu didn't have the same mind and height as Uncle Liu, so naturally he didn't dare to say anything about it, and he talked about it on paper, and taught Uncle Liu to laugh. However, since Uncle Liu admires Tianyu so much, if Tianyu shirks again, it seems that Tianyu doesn't know how to lift. While Li Tianyu was modest, he didn't forget to pat his Uncle Liu, and after seeing that his parents also had a trace of expectation, he had to decide to continue the lecture.

"The virtuous nephew can rest assured, but according to what the virtuous nephew said today, the old man dares to pack the ticket, if he is valued by the emperor in the future, I believe that the position will be much higher than the old man." Our Lord Liu is more pleasing to the eye the more he looks at Li Tianyu, just like a green-headed fly that sees a piece of fresh stool, no, it should be said that the gold digger saw a handful of 24K white gold.

"That, Uncle Liu, what Tianyu said today is to see that Uncle You are amiable and kind to your juniors, and you are infected by your unparalleled demeanor, so I can't help but want to point out the country with Uncle You, ah no, it's a big Kan Tekan, you can't enter the hall, you can't get out of the kitchen, you can't go to the ...... Ah, I mean you can't get on the stage at all, and you can't even get out of the gate of this Li Mansion. Li Tianyu was nervous and almost blurted out "can't swing on the bed", after all, he never thought that he would be given an official by Li Shimin in the past, in that case, not to mention the danger of being a companion like a tiger, he even had to say goodbye to himself as the leader of the Tianyu League and the unrestrained life on the road.

"Hahahaha, virtuous nephew, but don't worry, the old man knows." After all, our Lord Liu has always been a Beijing official before, and he often mixes in the court, so he can already be regarded as an old fox, how can he not hear these hints from Li Tianyu?
