Chapter 40: Li You fainted

readx;

Marrying Wu Meiniang again, Du He is not very worried about Du Ruhui, Changle, Li Xueyan and others, and the person he is most afraid of facing is Li Shimin, who has a strong idea of daughter control in front of him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Now let Li Shimin ask this question with this expression, things are not ordinary headaches.

"Uh...... Ah......" Du He's eyes couldn't help but glance at Li Shimin, his mind turned quickly, and he thought of a reasonable excuse.

Li Shimin glared at him and said, "Don't babble, I know it." There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. Changle and Xueyan married into the Du family, and they have not been pregnant for a long time, so it is natural for the Du family to marry again. I'm not the kind of person who is unreasonable, I can understand. But you kid listen to me, if you let me know that you have anything to do with Changle, if I don't pull off your skin, I will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in vain. ā€

Seeing Li Shimin's rare reasonableness, how dare he tell him the real reason for his infertility, he was confused and didn't talk more about this matter.

The two then talked about the future direction of Datang, some economic and military issues.

Du He also casually instilled in him some advanced military concepts and some rules and regulations in later generations.

As he spoke, Li Shimin suddenly said: "This autumn, I plan to hold a field hunting ceremony, what do you think?" ā€

"Tian Hunting Ceremony?" Du He looked at Li Shimin inexplicably.

Li Shimin said: "In the past, I won the world on the horse, and now I have ruled the world for more than 13 years. It was found that among the sons, there were very few who were skilled in bows and horses. In the past, after following me to conquer the world's famous families, most of them also gave up martial arts and literature. I think that there were no less than 100 loyal and brave tiger generals such as Chi Jingde, Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji, Qu Tutong, Chai Shao, Changsun Shunde, Zhang Liang, Zhang Gongjin, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, etc., all of whom were brave and brave people. But now that my Tang Dynasty is strong and prosperous, I have made great strides in the past, but I have counted the remaining generals in the DPRK and China, and I found that the generals who can fight are not as good as half of the past. This also includes veterans such as Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin, and Wei Chi Jingde. This situation has touched me a lot. I feel the need to hold a *** field hunting conference to let everyone know that I not only value Wenzhi, but also that Wu Luo has never given up. In order to motivate, the martial style in the court. ā€

Du He understands Li Shimin's feelings, this is actually an inevitable thing in every dynasty and every generation, and the rise and fall of dynasties often happens because of this. Because of the chaos in the world, the princes of all parties want to dominate the world and become the overlord of the world. In this way, brave generals are needed to fight for them. In this situation, an excellent general is particularly important and the most popular. Therefore, there is an old saying that thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one will be hard to find.

But as soon as the world was peaceful, everything changed.

A once powerful general, can only be idle at home, idle, one by one, behind the gate, because there is no battle to fight, can only rely on his father's merits in the court to mix an idle position, because there is no merit to stand, it is difficult to be promoted.

Imagine how difficult it is for those nameless people like Xue Rengui who have no status to mix up an official and a half-post, so that fewer and fewer people are willing to join the army, and there are more and more Chinese officers in the DPRK, and if this continues, it will become a situation where there are no generals in the DPRK.

In this vicious circle, the Central Plains Dynasty was located in the vicinity of the alien races, but because of the environment of the weak and the strong, they continued to fight, making their combat effectiveness stronger and stronger, and eventually causing the situation of the enemy's prosperity and decline, and the invasion of foreign invaders. This is a feudal society, which cannot be avoided by any dynasty.

Today's Tang Dynasty is still expanding from time to time, which has caused such a situation, and you can imagine what kind of situation it will be like if you stay away from war.

There is a typical example in history, the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty can be described as the most feudal society, with a prosperous economy and unrivaled, but since the alliance with the Liao State and the Western Xia, there has been no war between the two sides, and the incompetence of the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army has reached the point of outrageous.

When the Song and Jin alliances destroyed Liao, Jin beat Liao to death, and only one breath was left. In the face of the dying water dog of the Liao State, the Great Song Dynasty dispatched a large army, but the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army actually let the already dying water dog fight the falling flowers and flowing water, which was completely vulnerable, and even the whole army was wiped out. In the end, the Jin army went south, and was invincible along the way, and no army could stop the footsteps of the Jin soldiers. The 100,000 soldiers and horses who completed Yan Wushu drove a huge dynasty to the sea to make a living. It can be seen how weak the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty was at that time.

Du He sighed secretly in his heart: Li Shimin really deserves to be a generation of Ming Jun, and his outstanding insight has realized that the successor strength of the generals of the Tang Dynasty is insufficient. Now Datang's military is invincible in the world, and then twenty or thirty years later, there are very few people who can rely on it.

It is also because of the lack of follow-up strength of the generals, in the Li Zhi dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has already appeared enemies who can compete with the empire, and this is even more true in the following generations.

Du He's eyes burned with a raging fighting spirit, maybe twenty or thirty years later, the Tang Dynasty will be like in history, the military power will gradually regress, but what about himself, his own existence is a foreign art, and Tubo wants to develop? Destroy him, and see how he rises; Is Nanzhao very good? broke through the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and his parents didn't know him, see how he broke through the capital of the Tang Dynasty; Hui Su seems to be very hanging, relying on the military strength, forcibly sold all the inferior horses to the Tang Dynasty in exchange for gold and silver, snatched all their horses, and let them sell them in the Tang Dynasty.

Are you still worried about these things happening?

Dream on!

Du He thought a little wickedly in his heart.

Li Shimin's stunned gaze swept over Du He's face, and he said dumbly: "Are you kid listening to me, what are you thinking?" ā€

"Nibble!" Du He retracted his thoughts, coughed and laughed: "My father-in-law is far-sighted, and my son-in-law admires him very much." But don't worry, father-in-law, there is still a son-in-law, as long as there is a son-in-law, keep a top hundred, those who have the courage to break ground on my Tang head, the son-in-law plucked their hair one by one. ā€

Li Shimin smiled "hehe" and didn't answer, his eyes were also full of smiles: Du Hewen has the potential to be Wei Zheng and Fang Du, and Wu has the potential of Li Jing, which is exactly what he intends to cultivate to the next generation of the best talents.

Du He continued: "However, the son-in-law also thinks that this field hunting conference is worth hosting. It can not only express His Majesty's mood of being more important than military equipment, but also take a good rest, combine work and rest, all day long, in the palace, it is strange not to hold back illness. ā€

Li Shimin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If you let Wei Aiqing hear this, you will inevitably play a copy of you, saying that you instigated me to ignore the right business!" ā€

Du He shrugged his shoulders and said: "Just play, that guy is a diehard, and his temper is even more stone-like, angry with him, that storage is full of food and angry, and has nothing to do." ā€

Li Shimin smiled knowingly: "I feel the same way." Okay, that's it...... When the time comes, I want to compete with you, the champion of mounted archery, to see if I still have the courage of the past! ā€

Du He's smile froze on his face, this archery has always been his shortcoming, belonging to the kind of outstanding talent who misses ten shots, which is more than the skilled Li Shimin, this joke seems to be a little too big.

Li Shimin smiled casually, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, with a little disdain* That feeling was like a cat that had caught a mouse, not in a hurry to eat, but to have a good time.

Du He's heart moved slightly, and he had a feeling that this time the field hunting ceremony did not have such words, this emperor of the ages seemed to be planning something.

Thinking like this, Li Shimin said seemingly casually: "By the way, virtuous son-in-law, I have another question for you...... You said what to do with the aliens. ā€

Du He didn't know why Li Shimin asked this question, but combined with the historical experience in his mind, he replied: "There have been two more ways to deal with alien races for thousands of years: assimilation and extermination. Extermination, the son-in-law thinks it is not advisable, and vain killing will only intensify the contradiction and cannot change the essence of the matter. Therefore, only assimilation is possible. ā€

Li Shimin said: "What about those who are unwilling to accept assimilation and harbor evil intentions? ā€

Du He smiled coldly and said: "How many people are like this, how many people are killed, you must not be soft!" ā€

Li Shimin smiled slightly, not surprised, and did not answer.

Du He was stunned, and said in his heart: "Could it all be related to foreign races?" He was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't ask in detail, just filled his stomach casually and left the palace.

Not long after Du He left the palace, Li You happened to get the news that Du He had failed to assassinate Du He.

Hongzhi didn't want Li You to know about the assassination, but Li You had completely lost his mind to anger. As a prince, he has enjoyed superior treatment since he was a child, and when others are fighting for his position, he can get the throne effortlessly and become the prince above ten thousand people under one person.

Under this status, he has what he wants, and has developed an extremely arrogant character, which is self-respecting.

He couldn't stand anyone's disobedience, but today he was "humiliated" in the martial arts, which made him feel like a nightmare, thinking of Du He and Wu Meiniang's intimate demeanor, jealousy extinguished all reason, and vowed to make Du He, Wu Meiniang and his party pay the price.

This time he returned to the Qi Palace, and immediately prepared for revenge, as soon as Hongzhi came to the Qi Palace, Li You forced him to assassinate Du He immediately.

Hongzhi was forced to have no choice but to tell Li You about the failed assassination.

Li You was even more angry when he heard this, and roared: "Waste, what a group of waste, send it again, the Lone King won't believe me as a prince, and I can't fight the little Duhe?" ā€

Hongzhi's face was ugly, Li You's nonsense undoubtedly scolded him too, he held back his anger and said: "His Royal Highness King Qi, the people I sent are the henchmen left by your grandfather back then, all of them are battle-hardened talents, they can't help Duhe, how can others succeed?" ā€

Just when Li You was stunned, the voice of the Holy Decree came from outside the house.

Li You, Hongzhi and others hurriedly stepped forward to receive the order.

After listening to the edict, the eunuch finished reading the holy decree, Li You's eyes rolled and he fainted.
