Chapter 244: Dispel Suspicion
When Li Shimin was worried in the palace, he immediately received a recital.
"Your Majesty, General Li Junxian's recital." The eunuch said.
Li Shimin chuckled in his heart, but he still took the piece as soon as possible, and then opened it and looked at it. Li Shimin opened the recital and looked at it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, it seems that I have a lot of heart, Li Junxian is still loyal." Li Shimin sighed and said.
Empress Changsun was also relieved when she heard Li Shimin say this, and then asked Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, why do you think Li Junxian is still loyal?" ”
Li Shimin pointed to the recital, and then said: "This recital says that Li Junxian has already brought the general Wei Mulan and the Turkic princess Ashina Yun back first, and then they are at home. He also hinted to me that I could send a member of the royal family to take over the military power temporarily in the special guard. He even told me that Tyvei was the true core of combat power. The special guard is different from other troops, the core of the special guard's combat effectiveness is actually those auxiliary soldiers, that is, those soldiers who are called technical arms by Li Junxian, as long as those technical arms are dispersed from the ordinary infantry, then the special guard will completely lose its combat effectiveness. The reason he told me this was to show me that he had no bad intentions. If he had a bad idea, he wouldn't have told me about it. ”
"That means Li Junxian is loyal?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.
"At present, yes, at least Li Junxian can still be trusted. I immediately sent Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, to take over the power of the special guards, and the military power separated the so-called technical arms of the special guards, so as to completely eliminate the uncontrollable situation of the special guards. Li Junxian is still loyal, I want to be rewarded, all kinds of rewards! Li Shimin said with emotion.
Since Li Junxian is still loyal, he will naturally be rewarded. Li Junxian gave up his qualifications to be one step away from the throne, and chose to be loyal to Li Tang, which was already very good. And since Li Junxian is a loyal minister. Of course, he must be rewarded, not to mention that he has made such a great achievement this time, it must be rewarded.
"Your Majesty, according to General Li Junxian, he wants to give the reserve officers some chances. What he meant was to give credit to his subordinates so that they could be rewarded. He doesn't take credit for this! Empress Eldest Sun said.
Li Shimin said: "He just reassured me that he avoided making an unrewarded contribution as soon as possible, so I am afraid that I will be suspicious of him." Didn't I suspect him just now? So he wants me to rest assured, so that I don't have to worry about what he wants to do. ”
Empress Eldest Sun also breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that this time should be able to spend it peacefully.
And in Li Junxian's house. Zheng Liwan was annoyed.
"Junxian, why did you do this?" Zheng Liwan asked.
Zheng Liwan was very unhappy, because Li Junxian was completely giving up the position of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor by doing this. According to the current situation, Li Junxian can give an order and let the special guard rebel. And with the combat effectiveness of the special guard, it is completely possible to defeat Chang'an City and divide one side. Then you can take Guanzhong as the foundation and continue to expand.
Once the Secret Guard expands to more than 100,000, there will be no rivals in the world. In addition, Li Shimin did not master the real training methods of Special Guard. Therefore, it is impossible to train an army like the special guard, so that Li Junxian is invincible to the special guard. But Li Junxian actually gave up, which Zheng Liwan couldn't understand.
Zheng Liwan's original idea was actually to follow the most powerful man, and Li Junxian was defined by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng as a hero in troubled times. But now Li Junxian actually gave up the throne at his fingertips and chose to be Li Tang's loyal minister, which is simply incomprehensible to Zheng Liwan. If it was Zheng Liwan, I am afraid that Zheng Liwan would also choose cavalry to rebel.
Li Junxian listened. sighed and said, "Actually, I have had your thoughts before. Not even just once. ”
"Then why not do it?" Zheng Liwan asked.
Li Junxian replied: "Because the combat effectiveness of our special guards comes from knowledge and loyalty to the people of the country. If I raise troops when Li Tang is not immoral, it will naturally make the morale of the special guard plummet. If morale plummets, it won't necessarily follow me. Even, what if we attack Chang'an? The world will once again return to the era of division of the people, and the people will suffer again. Now that the world has just been reunified, I don't want the people to continue to suffer from war. You don't have to be ambitious, it's unrealistic. ”
Zheng Liwan frowned, and finally let go helplessly, and said, "I finally know why you can win the support of the soldiers, you are invincible." Well, from now on, I don't think about any motherhood. However, I hope you can be fair to me, and not to compare anything different with the Dugu Yi people. And, in the future, above the court, you can tell me anything incomprehensible. ”
"Yes!" Li Junxian said.
Li Junxian agreed, because he knew that Zheng Liwan was more keen on politics. Zheng Liwan is somewhat similar to Wu Zetian in this regard, both are more keen on politics, which is also a characteristic of women in the early Tang Dynasty. Li Junxian is also not opposed to women participating in politics, because Li Junxian is a later generation, and Li Junxian works in the archives department of later generations, but there are more women. In the archives department where Li Junxian works, his direct boss is a woman, so Li Junxian doesn't think that women's participation in politics is a flood of beasts. And Li Junxian also speculated that the reason why this Zheng Liwan wants to marry the most powerful man, the mother of the world, is actually because she has political ambitions in her heart, so she wants to do so. In ancient times, women were not given the opportunity to participate directly in politics, which caused him to only be able to achieve this by marrying the emperor. Now that Li Junxian has agreed to go through her staff for everything, it can be regarded as indirect participation in politics, so that Zheng Liwan is initially satisfied.
"The division of the country was created in our generation and should end in our generation. In this way, life is worthy of offspring, and death is worthy of ancestors. Although we have taken different paths in the past, from today onwards, whether a person will be remembered for a hundred years or left a legacy for 10,000 years depends on whether he has contributed to the reunification of the motherland or vice versa. ”
Li Junxian said such a sentence, which made Zheng Liwan very puzzled, he didn't know what this sentence meant. And Zheng Liwan also clearly felt that Li Junxian's warm feelings for the country and the nation would not be easily shaken. Zheng Liwan can only secretly sigh that her husband is loyal to the country. From this moment on, Zheng Liwan could only suppress the idea of letting Li Junxian ascend to the Ninety-Five Honor in her heart. (To be continued......)
