Li Chengqian had already thought about how to deal with his brothers. After he ascended the throne, he discussed with Fang Jun, Li Jing and others many times, and finally decided on the strategy of "feudalism abroad", either in foreign lands overseas or in foreign countries outside the Great Wall. In short, they were all desolate and barbaric. land.
Place the brothers there. If you don't have the ability to stand firm in a situation surrounded by wolves, and eventually die and the country will be destroyed, you can't blame him as an elder brother. If you have the ability, you can rely on the sect master to expand the territory. Even if it turns against the sect leader one day, Li Chengqian will admit it.
Throughout the ages, there has never been a dynasty that lasted forever, and the Li family's Tang Empire will not be an exception. Instead of waiting until the center declines and dynasties change in the future, at least there will be descendants of the Li family who can keep the vassal outside and continue the blood line.
Even if the central core is corrupted, each branch of the Li family can take control of Chang'an. It is better than having the country destroyed, the clan slaughtered, and the roots dug up
Zheng Rentai held the tea cup in his hand and was full of admiration: "Throughout the ages, fathers and sons have fought each other, brothers have fought against each other, and brothers have fought for the throne. They have only dreamed of cutting off all those who threaten the imperial power. Has there ever been such a generous and benevolent monarch? It was before. We were so ignorant that we did not realize His Majesty's sincerity and kindness, and almost made a big mistake. Only today did we realize that we are willing to bear infamy for the sake of such a monarch."
These words are not entirely complimentary.
All over the world and throughout the ages, His Majesty Li Er is an extremely kind king. He treats meritorious deeds well, loves the people like a son, and is as broad-minded as a mountain. But for such a king, after the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Jiancheng and Li Jiancheng will be replaced. Yuanji's descendants killed them all and eradicated them, lest they would turn into elbows and armpits and leave disasters in the future.
In comparison, Li Chengqian is obviously more generous and kind.
As a minister, who wouldn¡¯t want to meet such a king?
Now that I think about it, I was forced to change my mind and abandon the King of Jin and surrender to Li Chengqian. It can be regarded as a coincidence
*****
Jingyang.
In the mansion, Li Daliang was sitting by the bookcase by the window of the study, drinking tea slowly, with drooped eyelids, not looking at Linghu Xiuji who was chattering opposite him.
The rain was gurgling outside the window, but Linghu Xiuji¡¯s words were noisier than the restless rain. If he hadn¡¯t cultivated his character after becoming an official in the past two years, he would have been kicked out of the house according to his temper
Linghu Xiuji didn't realize how annoying he was. He leaned forward slightly and said in a quick tone: "The old general has fought in all his life and made countless achievements. Now that he is still young and strong, he has to take off his armor and return to the fields and stay away from the center. Are you really willing to do that?" So rotting into dust? Now that the rebels are correcting the edict and stealing the throne, the world is at a loss, and the order is often reversed. It is a great opportunity for the old general to come out again, bring order to the chaos, and repay the kindness of the late emperor!"
After a pause, seeing that Li Daliang was indifferent, he hurriedly added: "The old general is an honorary minister who founded the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Gaozu has repeatedly favored him, and Emperor Taizong also relied on him as his confidant. However, in the end he is just a mere county prince. If If this is accomplished, not only can we become the Duke of the country, but we can also be a feudal state and be passed on to hundreds of generations. What an honor!"
Now that Yuchi Gong is about to approach Chang'an, the situation in Guanzhong has changed. Especially the senior ministers and elders who had been watching the fire from across the bank and staying put were waiting for such an opportunity. Therefore, the disciples of the Guanlong clan went out everywhere, trying to persuade these people to raise troops to attach themselves to the King of Jin, counterattack Chang'an, and determine the overall situation in one fell swoop.
And Li Daliang, the former General of Youtunwei, Duke of Wuyang County, and Minister of War, was naturally the target of persuasion and win-over.
Furthermore, Li Daliang was born in the Li clan of Longxi and was one of the most important elders in the Li clan of Longxi. As long as he could be persuaded, he could pull the Li clan of Longxi to side with the King of Jin, and the power of the King of Jin would increase dramatically.
When Emperor Gaozu ascended the throne, he not only recognized Lao Tzu as his ancestor, but also claimed that his family was a lineage of the Li family in Longxi. If even the Li family in Longxi supported the King of Jin and opposed Li Chengqian, the momentum created would completely shake Li Chengqian's foundation
Li Daliang put down his tea cup, raised his eyelids, and asked: "Why are you here and not my father?"
Linghu Xiuji thought that Li Daliang was dissatisfied with his lack of seniority and lack of weight, so he hurriedly said: "My father is old and has spent most of the past two years on the sickbed. Occasionally, when he recovered, he was also busy writing books and writing novels. At present, Guanzhong It rained heavily and the water levels in various rivers swelled, making travel difficult, so I ordered the younger generation to come and listen to the teachings.¡±
"Ah,"
Li Daliang sneered, ignored Linghu Xiuji, waved his hand to his eldest son Li Fengjie, who was standing beside him, and said, "Send Linghu Dalang out of the house."
Linghu Xiuji suddenly became anxious and said hurriedly: "Why is the general so stubborn? My father"
Li Daliang waved his hands impatiently and scolded: "You hid this from your parents."; After saying that, he raised his feet and walked into the wind and rain, but was grabbed by Li Fengjie. He turned around in surprise and saw that Li Fengjie's whole face was red. He was obviously excited and nervous, and he gritted his teeth. , said: "I did this!"
Linghu Xiuji was overjoyed: "Since my dear brother has made a decision, please be patient for a moment. After I contact the heroes from all over the world to take action one after another and respond to each other, I will personally go to Youtun Guard with my dear brother to plan the mutiny and achieve success." event!"
The two of them were discussing how to contact each other, and Linghu Xiuji said goodbye: "I have to go to other places to try to persuade more people to join us in supporting justice and maintaining Zhengshuo, so I'll say goodbye first."
After saying goodbye, Li Fengjie got on the carriage. The coachman whipped his whip, and the horse pulling the carriage hit its trunk. It moved its hooves and accelerated slowly. Soon they walked into the night wind and rain, with the faint sound of hoofbeats. Missing(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
