Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    His Majesty Li Er was sitting in his study, constantly flipping through the mountains of official documents on the disposal desk. The clouds had gathered outside the window and the cool breeze was blowing, but it could not dispel the gloom and irritability in his heart.

    The Eastern Expedition ended in a tailspin. Although Goguryeo was finally overthrown and the empire's biggest concern on the northeastern frontier was solved, and there would be no worries about border dangers for the next hundred years, the final battle was fought by the navy. When hundreds of thousands of soldiers fought,  The army violently attacked Pingrang City for more than a month but returned without success. When they decided to give up this eastern expedition but were surrendered to Pingrang City by the navy, it meant that all the hidden contradictions would eventually burst out.

    Nowadays, not only the military aspect, but also the internal affairs also have big problems.

    This Eastern Expedition was a nationwide effort. Not only were all the soldiers and food in Guanzhong carried eastward, but even the rich lands in the south of the Yangtze River were almost completely evacuated. Now the hidden dangers have emerged, with public opinions and unstable situations in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and the families of the aristocratic families.  Even ordinary people are complaining. Coupled with the floods in Guanzhong, countless fertile fields, houses, and towns have been destroyed. The number of victims is increasing day by day, and has accumulated to 200,000 people.

    Guanzhong, known as the "Land of Abundance", has a population of only three million

    The first priority is disaster relief, otherwise once chaos breaks out in Guanzhong, the country will be unstable.  But now that the national treasury is empty and Jiangnan is lacking, how can we raise money and food to help the victims?  Especially after the Guanlong Mutiny, the operation of the entire imperial court was once in vain and completely stagnated. If Fang Jun had not organized soldiers to participate in disaster relief under the royal banner outside the city, I am afraid that there would have been a wave of tens of thousands of refugees in Guanzhong by now, or all living beings would have gathered together.  Something happened, or it hit the town, and the entire empire center was in chaos.

    Even though he has been in charge of the empire for twenty years and is already familiar with handling various difficult government affairs, His Majesty Li Er still feels overwhelmed.

    Every decision at this time is crucial. A slight mistake can easily lead to large-scale chaos. If we continue to implement the steps of easy storage

    Putting down the brush, His Majesty Li Er rubbed his brows and let out a long breath.

    Outside the door, Wang Shoushi came in quietly with a cup of hot tea. He first placed the tea cup on the desk, then took out a secret folding bag from his arms and presented it with both hands: "Your Majesty, these are the recent records of your highnesses.  "

    His Majesty Li Er hummed, took a sip of tea first, then took the secret fold from Wang Shoushi's hand, opened it and looked at it carefully

    In fact, records of the words and deeds of several princes are submitted here every day. Wherever the princes go and who they meet, there are spies everywhere who record them one by one.

    At this critical moment, His Majesty Li Er must carefully grasp the movements of his sons, in order to speculate on their psychology, in order to choose the best one

    Of course, the two people who paid the most attention were the King of Wei and the King of Jin.

    As legitimate sons, according to the rules of "Zongyi Succession", once Li Chengqian's throne is abolished, these two people are the most qualified candidates to succeed him. If you bypass these two people and directly give the throne to other concubines, it will not only violate  Rules, and it is easy to sow the seeds of disaster, and it is never advisable unless it is a last resort.

    "As for the King of Wei and the King of Jin His Majesty Li Er shook his head secretly, his eyes fixed on a line of words in the secret fold.

    "The King of Jin went to the Duke of Liang's Mansion first, and then to the Prince of Wei's Mansion?"

    "Your Majesty, that's right."

    His Majesty Li Er frowned: "What did they talk about?" For some reason, since he returned from the Eastern Expedition, his two sons, who were originally closest to him, suddenly became estranged, and even acted submissive and trembling when in front of him. What the hell is this?  Why?

    And he always felt that once these two people took action in private, it would not be a good thing. Last time, the two people directly stated that they did not want to compete for reserves

    Wang Shoushi shook his head: "When they met each other in the Duke of Liang's Mansion and the Prince of Wei's Mansion, they always hid in the inner room without anyone else around. There is no way to know why they were talking about it."

    In fact, the nails he planted in the Duke of Liang's Mansion never reached the core level. After the last encounter with the "Hundred Qisi" massacre, most of the nails lurking in various places were pulled out, and it was difficult to grasp all the news in the Duke of Wei's Mansion.  However, in order to avoid His Majesty Li Er blaming him for his incompetence, he could only shirk the fact that the two conversations were held in the inner room, rather than that the nails he had buried could not be approached at all

    His Majesty Li Er thought for a moment, and since he didn¡¯t know the details, he could only put it aside for the time being.

    After flipping through the secret fold, he asked again: "How is King Qi doing now? I asked you to bring him here last time, but why haven't you seen him yet?"

    Wang Shoushi said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi has always been in the Youtun Guard Camp. He locked himself in a tent and never took a step out or saw any outsiders. Even after the Prince of Jiangxia County took over the Youtun Guard  , and just said a few words through the window. The slave asked His Majesty the King of Qi to come, but His Majesty the King said that he had committed an unpardonable crime and had no face to see His Majesty. If Your Majesty wants to punish his crime,  I can give you a glass of poisonous wine without complaining.?Around me Wow, I am really incompetent as a mother.  "

    When she cried like this, His Majesty Li Er's slight dissatisfaction with Li Ke immediately disappeared, leaving only endless pity. He quickly took Concubine Yang's hand and comforted her with gentle words: "A man with ambitions in all directions, how can he be imprisoned in a small area?"  In the country, fell into a gentle land? Keer is the border of the country, and the empire will never forget his merits. Furthermore, although the land of Silla is remote, it is definitely not a barbaric and desolate place. Now that the navy has opened up shipping lanes, it is becoming more and more popular.  More and more merchants from the Tang Dynasty came by boat to do business, and the place was no less prosperous than the capitals along the coast of the Tang Dynasty."

    Having said this, something moved in his heart. Back then, he wanted to feudalize the world to achieve the goal of permanently consolidating the Tang Dynasty. However, he was blocked in the middle, and he slowly gave up on it over the years.  Letting Li Ke go to Silla to serve as a vassal for the country was a trade-off, but now it seems that the result is good. It not only prevents brothers from competing for the throne but also creates a powerful vassal state around the Tang Dynasty Why not continue to follow this method?
