Chapter 1019: Use King Wu Again
After arriving at the emperor's place, the monarch and the ministers still had a meal together, which was originally given to Li Xiang, but Li Xiang took a risk and asked his father-in-law for a chance to go to the front, and the emperor also got off the donkey and found a quiet place for his son.
In addition to Cheng Biting Jin, Qin Shubao and Wu King Li Ke were also here, and they originally wanted to call Li Xiang, but thinking of Li Xiang's attitude in the main hall just now, Li Shimin didn't let people call him, which is equivalent to offsetting the merits and demerits, and you have made meritorious contributions in the south, so it should be regarded as covering up your mistakes today.
Although Cheng Yanjin felt that Li Shimin was a little unfair, if it was in normal times, if he and Li Xiang had no private relationship, Cheng Yanjin's big voice would have been shouting above the hall, but now that he has this relationship, Cheng Yanjin can't speak.
What's more, this matter has such a result, and it is not good for Cheng Yanjin to continue to make trouble in this matter after Li Shimin thinks twice, what they want is a balance.
"Although Fusang has always respected our country very much, that kid has always said that Fusang has a heart of disobedience, so you must also remember that only when the land is in our own hands, that is the most reassuring thing, and my Datang's eternal foundation is still in its beginning."
Li Shimin himself is against the occupation of Fusang, but the pirates of Fusang often attack the coast of our country, which can be regarded as a reason to attack them, and the Tang envoy of Fusang has explained to me several times, saying that they are an island country, and there are many pirates around, and they cannot master these pirates at all.
At that time, Li Shimin felt that it was also normal, taking the current Tang Dynasty as an example, Li Shimin also had a lot of things that he couldn't grasp, but Li Xiang also played a fold at that time, since you can't master it, then it is better for us to discipline it for you, although there are a lot of tributes now, but if we master there, then it will be like the current Goguryeo, how much of the surplus income has been transported to Chang'an, which has played a big role in increasing Li Shimin's ruling base.
Li Shimin himself is a master of expanding the territory, in the past I was because of financial difficulties, but even so, Li Shimin also added a lot of land to the Tang Dynasty during the period, and now the entire Tang Dynasty is strong and strong, plus Nanzhao has just taken it, Li Shimin has that kind of joy, and he does not take such a cautious attitude towards Fusang......
"Long live the wise."
These people present basically got what they wanted, and Qin Shubao was also ruthless in Chang'an, but since the first battle of Tuyuhun, he and Cheng Yanjin have been hung up by the emperor, and this time it is also an opportunity for themselves, maybe it will be the last time in this life to go to the battlefield.
As for Li Ke, the king of Wu, everyone felt that he was the most bitter, it turned out that he also had the opportunity to compete for the throne, and the crown prince Li Chengqian must have withdrawn early, so the throne was between Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, but after the emperor issued this will, Li Ke, the king of Wu, completely withdrew from this competition.
When Xue Yantuo was defeated earlier, Li Ke, the king of Wu, had already withdrawn from this battle, but as the emperor's son, who would admit defeat so easily in his heart?
Now that he has received this holy decree, he can be regarded as knowing his future position.
Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin both ate with relish, Li Shimin often focused on his son, of course he knew what his son was thinking, he also came from the prince back then, any prince has a dream, and that dream is to get to this position, but Li Shimin doesn't know the dangers in the future, and now he can find a way out for his son.
After the afternoon was finished, Li Shimin asked Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao to go back to prepare, after all, they were going to leave in more than a month, and the preparation time for these two people was quite sufficient.
Since Xue Yantuo's defeat, Wu King Li Ke has rarely had the opportunity to talk to Li Shimin alone, and he may have wanted to find such an opportunity before, but after staying at home for so long, Wu King Li Ke's temperament has been smoothed out, as if everything in the court has nothing to do with him.
"Self-cultivation, you have done it, I have paid attention to it, you have been in the early dynasty for three months, and you have not said a word, except for asking An to play the fold, I have not seen any other twists and turns."
Li Shimin looked at the flowers in the imperial garden and said, Wu Wang Li Ke was also taken aback, thinking that he had faded out of Li Shimin's attention, so Wu Wang Li Ge was disheartened about everything, whether it was related to his own affairs or not, Wu Wang Li Ke took all the measures to stay away.
"Everyone thinks that my eyes are focused on the East Palace, but I can tell them that each of my sons is very precious, and I also think that you can all become talents, but the country is limited after all, and it is impossible to split the entire country to you, if you do that, it will be a great Tang Dynasty that has become countless small countries, and in the end, it is the people who suffer the most to watch you fight hard."
Li Shimin sighed, and then walked towards the pavilion in the distance, his son is not talented, he is not happy in his heart, his son is too talented, and his heart is not happy, this is the sorrow of being the emperor.
"Father and emperor can rest assured, and his son understands that he will definitely do a good job of guarding the Tang Dynasty for the imperial court to guard the east in the future."
Li Ke also knows that now when it is time to show loyalty, people have already made what they said so clearly, if you still pretend not to understand anything, then Li Shimin may change someone, in addition to your son, there are many sons who can be the governor of Fusang.
"It's good that you can really think so, although Fusang is a little poor, but after some governance, it can still let you enjoy it very well, I know that you have all kinds of ambitions, this is actually an opportunity for you, in this war, if you show your talent, then the court will never treat you badly, your nephew you can also see, he uses people differently, he only takes merit."
Li Shimin is still a little disappointed in Li Ke, the king of Wu, this kid didn't see it at all, and he had to rely on himself to remind him, if he didn't have that ability in the future, how should he mention you unsuccessful sons?
In fact, Li Ke, the king of Wu, was also very good, but compared with Li Xiang, this excellence is a bit of a big discount......
