"Erchen thinks that Guo Rong's worries are valuable, with the breadth of my Tang Dynasty territory and the long coastline, it is impossible to fortify everywhere, between this, Erchen believes that the establishment of a strong navy and the soldiers attached to the navy are of great value for the stability of my Datang coastline and for the future development of my Datang, so Erchen believes that the soldiers of the four guards can be set up, and two naval divisions, one south and one north, should also be established, and should be established and improved as soon as possible after the end of this war."

"According to the situation in Jiaodong, the construction of coastal defense was indeed neglected before, so that the most powerful sailor within the scope of Datang actually came from the feudal town, if Li Shidao really seized the opportunity, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the schools established relying on these should be established, and should be implemented as soon as possible,"

"Even if the current conditions are not mature, even if there is no complete set of training strategies now, it should be a little earlier, after all, time does not wait for one more day of training, and cultivating better navigation and naval talents can make my Datang also crisscross the ocean."

"Of course, this is just a temporary idea of the sons, and they have not yet been discussed with Zaifu and the important ministers, as for the follow-up specific implementation, specific implementation, allocation of money and food, selection of teaching and learning, and the scope of students, we still need to discuss."

Li Yu nodded, then shook his head again.

"Yes, is there anything else, I always feel that Guo Rong's letter this time is a little unnatural, as if it is to explain something, or prove something."

Sure enough, Li Chun's face had a tangled and complicated look, looking at his curious father, and thinking about the current situation, Li Chun sighed lightly and then spoke.

"Father, Guo Rong has ordered the heads of the 100,000 island people killed in Jiaodong to be nitrated, and after the nitration is completed, they will be sent to Chang'an together with the island generals who will be captured in Wendeng County to sacrifice prisoners!"

"Oh, 100,000 heads? Guo Rong actually wanted to send a full 100,000 heads to Chang'an, which was the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. ”

When he spoke, Li Yu's face was filled with a thick smile, and Li Chun was speechless for a while, how can you still be excited, a prisoner is a prisoner, but it is really a bit too much to send 100,000 heads to Chang'an.

If these 100,000 heads really come to Chang'an and come to Suzaku Street, the civil officials will not be able to turn the sky directly, and Guo Rong is estimated to be directly scolded by the civilian clique as the second in vain.

If it's just like this, it doesn't matter, it is estimated that Guo Rong is not afraid of being scolded if he has rough skin and thick meat, but ......

"Father, the problem is that Guo Rong wants not only to sacrifice prisoners, Guo Rong hopes to send them to the border towns and spread the ...... to the world after completing the ceremony in Chang'an."

"Spread the world?"

Hearing this completely unexpected content, Li Yu was also obviously stunned, but in an instant he understood why Li Chun didn't tell him this at the beginning, after all, this kind of undisguised killing was against Confucianism, and it was really too difficult for Li Chun, who had never faced blood and cruelty, to accept.

However, for Guo Rong to be able to make such a decision at such a time, Li Yu is extremely gratified!

I don't know when it began, the dynasty of the Central Plains is often very generous to foreign countries, as long as it is a tribute, some even nominal submission, will be rewarded by the Central Plains Dynasty.

For this, Li Yu still remembers what his actual teacher Li Yu once told him.

For the rich Central Plains, the land occupied by Fanbang and foreign races is either full of smoke or barren, and the manpower, financial and material resources required to conquer and maintain the occupation of these places are too huge, so huge that they are simply not comparable to the benefits obtained by occupying these regions, so most of the time, as long as the other party is not tossing hard, the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty will choose to turn a blind eye.

Over time, these guys, who are already insatiable, tend to be afraid of power and not virtuous, and often return and return.

In this regard, Li Yu was quite helpless, but even Li Yu didn't have a particularly good way to do this kind of thing, and Li Yu was even more powerless, but this time Guo Rong gave Li Yu a new idea.

Killing 100,000 people and destroying 100,000 enemies on paper is easy to say, but when you really put 100,000 heads in front of you, what can be formed is that kind of unparalleled shocking power, and this effect cannot be expressed in any language or writing.

Guo Rong's purpose is very simple, that is, to use the 100,000 heads of the island people to tell everyone that those who offend the power of heaven will be punished even if they are far away.

Li Yu didn't know how effective Guo Rong's attempt was, but Li Yu felt that he liked the last gift Guo Rong brought him.

Looking at Li Chun, who had a constipated expression, Li Yu smiled.

"Tut-tut, Guo Rong, this is such a big determination, such a big stroke! What do you think about this? ”

"Father, to be honest, I am very hesitant and lingering on this point, a whole hundred thousand heads are placed in front of me, which will definitely bring a huge shocking effect, and will definitely deter a considerable number of careerists."

"However, a whole hundred thousand heads, and I have to spread it all over the world, I'm worried about Guo Rong's infamy as a butcher!"

"Father, a few days ago, the battle report of the Battle of Wendeng came, the Changying Army in front of Wendeng City, with the heads of the island people to form a huge Jingguan, although the battle was won, but such a Beijing Temple, has caused criticism among the civil officials of the old school, if the heads of the 100,000 island people are sent to Chang'an, and then spread to the world, Guo Rong may be notorious, in the history books, may leave a name no less than Wu Anjun's slaughter!"

"Human slaughter? Hahaha! ”

After repeating the word human slaughter, the originally extremely weak Emperor Li Yu suddenly burst out laughing, this laughter was extremely hearty, and Li Chun even heard the incomparable pride and arrogance from this laughter.

The city is very deep, and the sudden abnormal performance of his father, who has no last resort, makes Li Chun look dazed, and Li Chun has a feeling that his father does not seem to be an emperor who controls the Tang Dynasty, but like a simple boy.

One was dazed, the other laughed, and it wasn't until the laughter was almost out of breath that Li Yu stopped laughing.

"Does Chun'er know why his father laughed out loud?

"This asks the father to atone for his sins, but the child is dull and fails to grasp the deep meaning."

"You, if you are really blunt, how can I be willing to hand over Datang into your hands!"

"As a father, I will give you one last point, as an emperor, the most important thing for a courtier is not to listen to his words but to observe his deeds, to observe whether his behavior is in line with his position."

"With Guo Rong's age and merits, what I am most worried about is that he will have no one to suppress in the future, but I didn't expect Guo Rong, a straight-headed guy, to think of such a trick to defile himself!"

"Father, this is natural, the child also said just now, if he brings such a reputation, Guo Rong may not be able to leave any good reputation in the pen of the court civil officials, and it is not impossible that he will never be able to turn over, is this too ...... for Guo Rong?"

"Do you think Guo Rong cares about fame?"

“……”

"The only thing Guo Rong cared about before was the Anxi Army, but now, I can be sure that Guo Rong has another thing he cares about, that is, leading the army into the island country!"

"Father, what about those civil officials, the power to advocate large-scale reform led by Wei Guanzhi is not weak, but the vast majority of the actual power in the imperial court is in the hands of those old ministers, if they are allowed to suppress Guo Rong......"

"The scholars rebelled, and it didn't work out for ten years, those people can scold Guo Rong, but with these 100,000 heads as the foundation, do any of them dare to stand in front of Guo Rong?"

"Of course, if they really have the courage to stand in front of Guo Rong and scold directly, then Guo Rong will really have scruples and dare not go back to killing?"

"You must know that Guo Rong's approach not only stabilized the court, but also completely pushed himself to the opposite side of the civil official group, you must know that behind the civil official group is a wealthy family in Shandong."

"The Shandong giants have a profound heritage, strong strength, and are intertwined, and even I am very afraid of it."

"And Guo Rong's 100,000 heads can become the highest tool to deter Shandong giants, and the moment 100,000 heads arrive in Chang'an, all opponents will be silent, and when the time comes, Guo Rong can become the sharpest knife in your hands to deal with Shandong giants.

"As long as Guo Rong is still in the day, the emperor does not need to worry about the threat brought by the wealthy families in Shandong! As for Guo Rong, if there is no national support from Datang, how can he achieve his goal of opening up Hexi and reproducing the glory of the Anxi Army? ”

"Father, I understand!"

Li Yu had a smile in his eyes.

"Chun'er, I know that you have lofty ambitions, but great kings like Emperor Shi, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Taizong did not say it, but did it!"

"The emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not an easy job, but when you take over this burden, you will become the most powerful person in the world!"

"You have the vastest territory, the most loyal courtiers, the most powerful army, the largest navy, the most advanced technology, countless people, and infinite resources and wealth!"

"Father hopes to hear in Zongmiao one day that Datang's navy has spread to every sea in the world, Datang's footmen have spread to every inch of the world, and the sun will never set within the territory of Datang......"

From Guo Rong to Li Yu, from Guo Xin to Guo Ziyi, from Li Xuan, the eldest princess of Yan Kingdom, to the crown prince Li Ning, Sui Wang Li Heng, from Annan to Mobei, from Longxi to Liaodong......

In the Qinzheng Building of Xingqing Palace, Emperor Taishang Li Yu and Emperor Li Chun, the two actual controllers of the Tang Dynasty, chatted openly and honestly from daytime until near midnight without anyone disturbing them.

In a silent and silent manner, Emperor Taishang Li Yu clearly handed over everything to Li Chun's hands from the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, the Southern Ya Guard, the Mobei Servant Army, and the naval division and coastal defense army that had just begun to be established.

On the eighth day of the eighth month of the fourth year of Yuanhe, in the Xingqing Palace Diligent Government Building built by Emperor Xuanzong, who witnessed the glory and trough of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yu and Li Chun, the two emperors of the Tang Dynasty, completed the most stable power transition since the Tang Dynasty in the way of father and son.

Surrendering the power in his hand is equivalent to unloading the burden on his body, and after getting rid of all his worries, Li Yu, who was extremely tired, fainted on the bed with a smile on his face.

With Li Chun's call, outside the Qinzheng Building, Taoist Master Zhang Jiaxuan, who had been quietly waiting for a whole day, walked into the hall with a special wooden box.

Looking at Li Yu, whose face was flushed and weakly paralyzed on the bed, Zhang Jiaxuan knew that the life of the old man he had guarded for six years had really entered the countdown.

Take out the silver needle from the wooden box, guide the silver needle to pierce the acupuncture point on Li Chen's head, and as wisps of blood are guided out along the silver needle, Li Yu slowly opened his eyes.

What caught his eye was Li Chun, who was sweating in a hurry, and Zhang Jiaxuan, who was sad.

"The saint is really in a hurry today, originally ......"

Listening to Zhang Jiaxuan's slightly complaining words, Li Yu's face obviously had a hint of shame.

"Don't worry, Daochang Zhang, after today, I don't have any regrets, from now on, I don't have to be conservative, and I don't have to think about my body anymore, I can prolong my life for a day!"

Looking at the resolute Li Xuan, after wanting to speak several times in a row, Zhang Jiaxuan finally chose to nod.

"Your Majesty, please take a good rest first, recover your strength and energy, and I will dispense medicine for Your Majesty later!"

Immediately, a few silver needles like silk threads silently arrived on Li Yu's head, and after a while, a gentle snoring sounded, and after ordering several palace maids to take care of them, Li Chun and Zhang Jiaxuan slowly withdrew from the main hall.

On August 16 of the fourth year of Yuanhe, Emperor Li Yuxia, who had nominally abdicated for a full 5 years, but actually controlled the entire situation in the Tang Dynasty, left Chang'an again.

】

Under the escort of the entire 20,000 Northern Ya Yulin Army, the surrounding times were unlucky, the fate was uncertain, and the emperor who experienced no one could replicate went all the way to the west and began the last journey of his life.

At the same time that Li Yu left Chang'an, the entire Henan Province was covered with clouds, and a major war of unprecedented scale was brewing.

More than 200,000 Hebei rebels crossed the river and quickly moved south, surrounding the city of Bianzhou, which had only more than 30,000 defenders.

Different from the speculation of Guo Rong, Han Hong, Wu Shaoxiong and others, after crossing the river, the Hebei rebels, who had an absolute advantage in numbers, did not start attacking the city in a hurry.

On the contrary, this time, whether it is Tian Ji'an, Wang Chengzong or Mr. Liu, what they realized was extremely calm, besieging the city step by step, preparing for war step by step, as if everything had nothing to do with themselves.

While preparing for war, after crossing the river, the rebels took Bianzhou as the center and sent troops and horses to Tongguan in the west, Caozhou in the east, and Songzhou in the south to probe, reconnoitre, and attack.

With the movement of these soldiers and horses, the entire Henan Province began to be noisy.
