In the imperial study behind the Liangyi Palace, Li Zhi, Li Yun, and Li Zhen sat on chairs casually, chatting and waiting for Li Su.

More than ten years have passed, Li Yun is already a middle-aged man over thirty years old, and his figure is also a little fat and deformed, even if he is sitting on a chair, he can see a bulging belly. As for Li Zhen, he looked more and more robust and mighty, taller than Li Zhen, wearing a military uniform, with a dark complexion and sharp eyes, exuding a fierce murderous aura all over his body, which made people feel the kind of pressure when the two armies clashed at first sight.

"Seventh brother, how is the situation in your Tianzhu now, I heard that since the last time the eighth brother led the troops to suppress a group of rebels, no one dared to resist anymore?" Li Zhi sat on the chair and asked Li Yun with a smile.

"Except for the fact that your starling has killed too many people, resulting in a serious shortage of miners and farmers in Tianzhu, there is nothing wrong with the rest!" Li Yun glanced at Li Zhen next to him helplessly.

At the beginning, Li Yun and Li Zhen in order to cooperate with the actions of the Tang Dynasty and the Great Qi, together put pressure on the Great Food, and occupied the entire Tianzhu in the shortest possible time, although the occupation process was very smooth, but due to the rapid expansion, the rule of various places was also somewhat unstable, so various conflicts and uprisings broke out from time to time.

For this situation, Li Zhen immediately led the army to suppress it, and as a result, for a while, the entire Tianzhu Continent was full of blood, and all the people involved in the uprising were all arrested by the army, and then dug a big pit and buried them alive like Bai Qi in history. Although there are no official statistics, how many people did Li Zhen bury alive in this crackdown? However, according to the investigation and estimation of some scholars in later generations, the number of rebels buried alive was at least two or three million.

Although Li Zhen's massacre was very bloody and cruel, it was also extremely effective. In the shortest possible time, he spread the prestige of the Emperor of Destruction throughout Tianzhu. All Brahmans are convinced that Li Zhen must be the reincarnation of Shiva, the god of destruction. He came to Tianzhu to destroy some of the old order, and then let Li Yun, the reincarnation of Vishnu, the god of protection, rebuild a new order that is more in line with the will of the gods.

It is precisely by relying on this combination of force and religion that Li Yun and Li Zhen not only did not get messed up by the uprisings in various places, but once again strengthened their rule over the country, especially with the expansion of Neo-Brahmanism, almost more than ninety percent of the Tianzhu people have converted to Neo-Rammonism, which makes the rule of Tianzhu finally mature. It became the third theocratic state after Rome and the Great Eclipse.

Li Zhen heard Li Yun complaining that he had killed too many people, but he pouted and said: "Seventh brother, this is not right, you know the situation in Tianzhu better than me, we rely on a small number of people in our hands to rule a place as big as Tianzhu, if we don't use this bloody means to suppress them, maybe there will be any chaos in the future?" ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhen paused for a moment, and then said: "And don't you see that the effect is very good now, all Tianzhu people have become honest." No one dares to resist anymore.,No longer resist our implementation of sinicization.,Even the sanitary conditions in the city are much better.,It's all my credit! ”

For Li Zhen's sophistry. Li Yun couldn't laugh and said: "Your big killing has caused the population of Tianzhu to drop sharply, and some cities can't even see a single figure." Naturally, the sanitary conditions are much better than the previous situation of feces and urine. ”

At this time, Li Zhi was also amused by the words of the two brothers, and at the same time worried that they would really quarrel. Hurriedly interrupted them and said, "Seventh brother, I heard that it is very hot over there in Tianzhu, and the people who just went there can't even eat. So after many people get there, they will become dark and thin, such as starlings, although they are much stronger, but they are indeed darker than before, but I think you are just the opposite, not only not thin, but also a lot fatter, could it be that you have any secret? ”

Hearing Li Zhi ask about this, before Li Yun could answer, Li Zhen hurriedly spoke: "Ninth brother, you don't know, Seventh Brother is a person who can enjoy it, he stays in a special palace every day, and the sandwich walls around the palace can be put saltpeter to cool down, and he doesn't worry about being sunburned at all. ”

"You bastard, you got cheap and wronged me!" As soon as Li Zhen's words fell, Li Yun scolded with a smile, "If you think I'm enjoying it, then we can change it, you will handle government affairs for me, and I will take the army to expand the territory!" ”

"Hehe, then don't use it, I still think cavalry fighting is more suitable for me, let me sit on a chair to deal with government affairs, then it is better to kill me!" Seeing that Li Yun was a little angry, Li Zhen immediately relented and begged for mercy.

Tianzhu's political system was different from that of the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, and it was a dual emperor system, which was somewhat similar to some periods in Rome. Among them, Li Yun is in charge of the administration and economy of the country, while Li Zhen is in charge of the country's army. The division of labor between the two is different, which can be seen from their body shape, for example, like Li Yun, who stays in the palace every day to deal with government affairs, sits for a day, and counts the time when he goes to the toilet.

Just when the three of them were chatting, the door of the study opened, Li Su walked in from the outside, and was stunned at first when he saw the situation inside, and then walked over and found a place to sit down and said with a smile: "What are you talking about so happily?" ”

"Sixth brother, we are talking about the figure of the seventh brother, you look at his current appearance, I estimate that in a few years, he will have a fight with the fourth brother!" Li Zhen took the lead and laughed, among all the princes, if you want to talk about obesity, the first one is Li Tai, he is so fat that it is even a problem to walk, although Li Yun is still far from being fat to that extent, but if he continues to be fat like this, it is really possible to change the second Li Tai.

Li Yu also looked at Li Yun's body shape when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Seventh brother, you should indeed lose weight, after people are too fat, it will be easy to cause some wealth diseases, such as the fourth brother, he is not much older than us, but I heard that his health has not been very good in recent years, and he gets sick at every turn, and even this time his father called him back to Chang'an, and he fell ill again on the way, and he has not been able to arrive until now." ”

Li Yun naturally didn't dare not listen to Li Yu's words, and the other party still cared about his body, so he also smiled and nodded: "Thank you Sixth Brother, it's also that I've been too lazy in the past few years, no matter how busy I am in the future, I will take some time out to exercise every day, at least I must be able to ride a horse, otherwise the riding skills I learned from my father will all be wasted." ”

Hearing Li Yun inadvertently mention his father Li Shimin, Li Su and Li Zhen also fell silent all of a sudden, thinking of their father's body, they were all quite heavy as sons.

"Seventh brother, eighth brother, how is his spirit when you see your father today?" Feeling that the atmosphere was a little heavy, Li Su was the first to break the silence and speak.

I saw Li Yun and Li Zhen glance at each other, and then Li Yun spoke first: "My father was very happy to see us, and he also put forward some of his own opinions on our Tianzhu, and he also asked us about some family matters, and talked about a lot of naughty things when my eighth brother and I were children. ”

"Well, I also feel that my father is much more cheerful than before, and he also cares more about our family affairs, but only mentions state affairs slightly, and even in front of us, there is no longer the image of the emperor in the past, but like an ordinary father, which makes me and Seventh Brother feel very relaxed." At this time, Li Zhen also continued to speak, and at the same time there was a look of nostalgia on his face, since he left the palace when he was ten years old, he rarely felt the warmth between father and son from Li Shimin, but now that Li Shimin is seriously ill, the relationship between father and son is more harmonious.

Originally, Li Su opened his mouth to break the silence to liven up the atmosphere, but when Li Shimin was mentioned, the atmosphere between them became even heavier. Li Su also quickly discovered this problem, and hurriedly diverted the topic again: "Ninth brother, when I came just now, I met someone by the way, and then chatted with him for a few words, you and the seventh brother and the eighth brother guess, who did I go to meet?" ”

Hearing Li Su change the topic and let them guess the riddle, Li Zhi and the three of them were all in good spirits, among which Li Zhen took the lead again and said: "Sixth brother, you know the most people, but now many old ministers have passed away, and among the remaining people, the best relationship with you is naturally Uncle Hejian Wang, you won't go to see him, right?" ”

Li Xiaogong is not only Li Su's elder, but also the father of Li Su's iron buddy Li Yong, plus after Li Jing's death, Li Xiaogong became the only vice principal of the Tang Military Academy.

However, before Li Su could answer, Li Zhi preemptively denied it: "Since the sixth brother asked us to guess that he went to see someone, then it means that the person he saw is unreasonable, so we need to guess, and in the Manchu Dynasty, the uncle and the sixth brother are the most incompatible, so I guess the sixth brother must have gone to see the uncle!" ”

Seeing that Li Zhi guessed the answer all of a sudden, Li Yu also showed a somewhat satisfied smile and said: "The ninth brother's analysis is reasonable, and it is also consistent with the facts, I did go to see the eldest grandson, and also persuaded the other party to take the initiative to give up the phase, which can not only save their eldest grandson's life, but also reduce some resistance to the ninth brother's future reform." ”

Regarding Li Su's going to see the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Yun and Li Zhen were obviously very surprised, the two stared at each other a few times, and then said in unison: "Sixth brother, you are not sick, just rely on one mouth to persuade the eldest grandson Wuji to give up the interests of the family, how can he agree?"
