Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Dandao has no shame in killing people, and it does not hinder his own Taoism.

    It¡¯s just that there is no hindrance to the Taoist mind, but killing too much will hinder one¡¯s own ¡°state of mind¡±.

    I¡¯m afraid it will take a long time to resolve the anger.

    ???????????????????????????????????

    "After all, I don't like it when others put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, but when it's my turn, I can also put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, and there will be no psychological barriers.

    After a quick look, it turned out that there was no more blood in Jingyang. It seemed that the city had been saved.

    Sigh.

    I¡¯m so exhausted.

    Li Dandao held a purifying whisk and cast a "Tai Xuan Purifying Talisman" on himself. He recited the Purifying Sutra a few times to calm down his mood.

    Then I heard Jieli Khan¡¯s request to send an envoy to Chang¡¯an of the Tang Dynasty to visit and study.

    Li Shimin agreed directly.

    Changsun Wuji rushed back with only more than 10,000 troops, but it did give Li Shimin a lot of confidence.

    The strategy of deploying suspicious soldiers is also feasible.

    In addition, they sent envoys to inquire about information. Li Shimin could also bribe the envoys.

    Wasn¡¯t Chang He from the Xuanwu Sect bribed back then?

    Li Shimin knew who to bribe.

    Queen Xiao.

    It¡¯s hard to sweat outside the Great Wall, and those Turks don¡¯t understand the customs. Empress Xiao, who is used to living a good life in the palace, must not be used to living outside the Great Wall.

    Promise again to grant Yang Zhengdao the title of king and treat the former royal family well

    Queen Xiao, a Bodhisattva, can still live her good life.

    Xiao Yu can also be used as a bargaining chip.

    "Li Shimin can even marry the Xiao family and take a concubine named Xiao

    Didn¡¯t Li Yuan take in Yang Guang¡¯s concubine?  Li Shimin himself also took in the prince's and Yuanji's concubines.

    ¡° Accepting these concubines means accepting the support of the family behind them.

    A more important reason why Li Shimin bribed Queen Xiao was to let her fight with Princess Yicheng.

    If the alliance can be reached this time, Li Tang will have a chance to breathe, and natural disasters can always be controlled slowly.

    The battle between Queen Xiao and Princess Yicheng can also divide the Turkic forces.

    At that time, we will raise troops to quell the Turks, kill Yicheng, and bring back Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao to show that Li and Tang are orthodox, which will be useful for stabilizing the country and inheriting the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty.

    Sure enough, Jieli Khan sent an envoy to Chang'an the next day.

    They wanted to see Li Shimin¡¯s army and siege equipment, but Li Shimin asked someone to take them to take a bath, change into Han clothes, and went to Toad Tomb to enjoy themselves two days ago.

    He also presented beautiful silk fabrics, luxurious spices, fragrant tea leaves, and mellow wine.

    The leader of the envoys was still very calm, but the deputy envoys were already enjoying themselves

    After three days of traveling, they returned to the Turks with gold, gems, silks, and the words instilled in them by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

    Even when he arrived at the account, looking at the Turks still wearing furs, the envoy suddenly had an idea in his mind: bumpkins, country bumpkins.

    "If I could be reborn in the Eastern Land in the next life, what a blessing it would be."

    Seeing their appearance, Princess Yicheng turned the Tang army into a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, and the palace into a heavenly palace.

    And many rumors that were detrimental to military morale quickly spread in the military.

    "Let's make peace!" Princess Suicheng said, looking at her husband who was almost forty years her junior, and cursed in her heart: "Short-sighted stupid pig."

    Without such pig teammates, the city of Chang'an would be destroyed soon.

    Then Li Shimin made an alliance with Jieli Khan on the bridge, swore an oath by killing a white horse, and gave away thousands of taels of gold, silver, thousands of pieces of silk, various porcelain, tea, fine wine If Jieli Khan had not been afraid of justice,  If she becomes a princess I'm afraid she will have to bring a clan girl back to get married.

    One of the criticisms of the Tang Dynasty was the marriage policy.

    But it is indeed of great political significance and provides a basis for the future "since ancient times".

    Jieli Turks have retreated their troops, and there is no way for the Jieli Turks to fight to the death. They demand the establishment of a border salt and tea trade market, and cannot hinder the salt and grain trade.

    Li Shimin naturally agreed. They wanted food, salt, tea, and silk trade, and the Tang Dynasty also wanted horses and livestock.

    Just opening up a forum for questioning can easily lead to corruption and defection of border generals.

    But the Turkic aristocrats are more prone to corruption. They are a political power on horseback, living in pursuit of water and grass, and business transactions can beIn order for the nobles to live in the border city, they only need to let the slaves go to herd.

    The Turks retreated.

    Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

    The Turks have subsided, and the pressure has only slightly decreased.

    There is a severe drought in Shandong, a severe drought in Henan, and the locust plague in Taiyuan has begun to show its signs.

    But fortunately, the local aristocratic families already know the policy of donating money and food to buy officials.

    Coupled with the withdrawal of the Turkic troops, Li Tang does not seem to be a short-lived prime minister, so some people have begun to take advantage of it.

    The Ministry of Industry used work in exchange for relief to rebuild the city wall that was destroyed due to the war. This time it was to be thicker and higher.

    He also sent officials to build water conservancy projects. During a severe drought, everyone must work together as one.

    And the taxes in the disaster-stricken areas have been exempted. Now the Li Tang court is completely poor.

    As for the army, they are working on farming and opening up wasteland.

    At the same time, Li Dandao came up with a plan to keep people on the ground, but they died and the land was lost.

    It would be better to move some of the people in the drought-stricken areas to the south. Nowadays, the climate is moving southward, and the north is prone to disasters. At least they will not die of hunger in the south.

    Li Shimin thought it was feasible. By the way, some of the aristocratic families in the drought-stricken areas in the north could be divided into sects and moved to the south.

    This is a conspiracy.

    Those aristocratic families will naturally not die of hunger, but there are too many children of common people. The family can keep their land without touching it, and there is a way to survive by dividing some of it and moving south.

    This strategy works wonders when combined with donating money and food to buy officials.

    At present, in both Shandong and Henan, a large number of descendants of aristocratic families are migrating southward.

    Some unrelated people migrated to Hunan, Guangxi, and Lingnan, and fought with the local aborigines, which presumably accelerated their Chineseization.

    Some well-connected people who were unwilling to move too far south settled down in ah, Jiangxi, and other slightly richer places.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????, there are also some places that are not so drought-free, or places near rivers, which can also feed some people.

    ¡° Such a long series of decrees have finally won some people¡¯s support.

    While waiting for Sun Zhenren to arrive in Chang'an, Li Shimin finally remembered that Li Dandao had made great achievements in setting up the formation and wanted to be rewarded.

    Li Shimin was actually a little afraid of Li Dandao. Whether it was Buddha or Taoism, there was always a balance to be struck.

    ¡°But Buddhism is really not Taoist, and no one has successfully contacted him stably so far.

    Or those who could be contacted were killed by the Taoists.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the way, the emperor believes in Taoism, which can form a check and balance, so Li Shimin can only temporarily get close to Taoism.

    Sun Zhenren has been giving lectures all the way, and has been received by aristocratic families from all over the country. He has a good reputation in the government and is known as a "medical sage". Now entering Beijing is a good opportunity to add "virtue" to Li Shimin.

    As a disciple of Sun Zhenren, as an official in the court, and as a minister of meritorious service, you cannot afford to miss out on those rewards.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
