Chapter 991: Conquering the Clouds

"The world is so big, there are so many enemies, where is what your father can kill, but if you want to conquer the world in the future, but you can't learn from your father, any powerful empire will eventually fall apart. The reason why my father is like this, is that I think that the enemy has hit our heads, and more importantly, the accumulation of the previous dynasty, although the Sui Dynasty perished, but he still has a lot of food in some places, plus, the south is trying new rice, we will not have a crisis because of the lack of food for the time being, and finally Goguryeo is not as strong as imagined, so the father will start a war, but you will be different in the future, a war needs at least five years of accumulation, and when you become the emperor, you can start a war in five years, If there is a year of famine, it can be postponed again. The Central Plains is the foundation, and without the Central Plains, no matter how strong your army is, it will not work. The common people are the foundation of the Tang Empire, if the common people can't even eat, how can they help you fight the country? Li Xin said seriously.

"Erchen understood." Li Chengzong nodded seriously, at this time, he would not refute all Li Xin's words.

?“ Let's go see your grandmother. Li Xin was very happy, but the little worry between his eyebrows could not disappear, and he didn't know what was bothering the young emperor.

"San Lang, your heart is in turmoil."

The sound of wooden fish and chanting in the Buddhist hall came, and Li Xin felt that his heart was suddenly calmer, but Gao's voice came into Li Xin's ears.

"Mother." Li Xin said respectfully: "Jinyiwei came to report that the general's foot disease has been committed again, and at this moment on the grassland, the weather is cold, and the child is a little worried. ”

Gao sighed deeply, Li Xin and the general Li Jing were also teachers and friends. Monarchs and ministers have assisted each other and trusted each other for more than ten years, and the feelings between each other have surpassed what monarchs and ministers should be. That's why Li Jing is so nervous.

"Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. General Li Jing has enjoyed glory and wealth for a lifetime, what you give him is not only glory and wealth, but more importantly, trust, this is the most important thing, you let him lead hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against the Turks, and now he has pacified the Turks, even if he dies, he is very happy. Do you know? Saburo. Gao put down the wooden fish in his hand and analyzed: "Among the dynasties, it is rare in history to have a monarch like you. ”

"Erchen understands that the general is big after all." Li Xin nodded: "Pei Shiju has passed away, the child is like breaking an arm, although the Central Plains is calm this time, there are still many enemies around."

"Although you are an emperor, you don't have the heart of an emperor. You can't be indifferent and ruthless to your courtiers, you have to remember. You are friends with the general Li Jing, but you are also a monarch. You have a lot of courtiers, not necessarily just the general, as an emperor, you shouldn't put all your hopes on one courtier. Gao said calmly.

"Erchen understood." Li Xin nodded slowly.

"There are countless ministers and famous generals in the DPRK and China. How can there be only one great general? Gao's calm voice came again, and said, "The emperor is alone!" ”

"The situation between the DPRK and China is still very stable, and what Erchen is worried about is the situation in the DPRK and China in the future, and there are already signs of party strife." Li Xin sighed, although there was no movement yet. But in private, there are already people provoking a dispute over the heirs, and even the scholars of the Wude Hall have actually been involved, but there is Li Xin pressing on it, so there is nothing to do. But as time goes by, the princes grow up, and this kind of party struggle and succession struggle will become more intense.

"You are the emperor, and some things are also decided by yourself." Gao's face was stunned, and finally she could only sigh, although she was a descendant of the King of Lanling, she had not experienced much and had not learned more about governing the country. Party strife is an unavoidable thing, and Li Xin may have a way to solve this matter, but Gao Shi may not have to.

"Yes." Li Xin nodded, he sat on the futon by himself, quietly listening to the sound of the wooden fish beside him, and his whole tense body and mind gradually calmed down.

Outside the Buddhist hall, the eldest grandson Wujian and Li Chengzong sat quietly on the brocade stool, the two looked at Li Xin, and went silently, even the fun-loving Li Chengzong also looked at Li Xin quietly, as if he could also see what kind of decision Li Xin had made.

After half a ring, I saw Li Xin stand up.

"Chengzong, when do you want to announce the news that you are the crown prince in the future, that is when you will release it. Do you know? Li Xin took Li Chengzong's little hand and said.

"Erchen understands." Li Chengzong touched his head and said. In fact, he knew that he might be the crown prince, but he did not announce it.

He didn't know what the news would be like once it got out, but he knew that even if he didn't know it now, he would definitely think about it later.

The eldest grandson Wujian was slightly solemn, but she knew that Li Xin could not say these words for no reason, since he said these words, it must have a purpose.

The family of three gradually came out of the Buddhist hall, but their words in the Buddhist hall quickly spread out, in the palace, there were almost no secrets to speak of, and the first people to spread it were the people in the harem.

Li Zhiwan was the first to get the news, although she knew that Li Chengzong was the crown prince secretly set by Li Xin, but as long as it was not announced for a day, her son was hopeful. Unexpectedly, Li Xin decided to announce the candidate for the crown prince, which caught her off guard, and she didn't know who to ask for help.

"Looking for whom?" Li Zhiwan thought about it in her heart for a long time, but she didn't think of a suitable candidate, Li Xuanba was still on the way to the class teacher, even if he came back, I am afraid he would not be able to do anything, Li Xiaogong could, but it was far from quenching his thirst. Even if they come back, these generals probably won't be able to say anything to themselves.

"Come on, go and invite Lord Xu Jingzong to come." Li Zhiwan thought about it, and finally thought of a person, it can be said that this person has a bad reputation in the court, but Li Zhiwan can't think of anyone else who can help her at this time. And she knew even more that as the orthodox prince of the East Palace, it was impossible to accept a villain like Xu Jingzong.

But this is nothing to Li Zhiwan, as long as she can help her come up with ideas, she doesn't mind helping her son accept a strategist like Xu Jingzong. (To be continued.) )
