- Li Ke returned to Chang'an City and wrote to Li Shimin saying that he was going to travel south of the Yangtze River. Li Shimin agreed to his request without hesitation.
Because the Tubo War lasted for three years. Li Ke led the troops to fight in the northwest and never returned to Chang'an. If he could return to Beijing this time and wanted to go out for fun, Li Shimin would naturally not object.
After leaving Liangyi Palace, Li Ke came to Queen Yang¡¯s Qianqiu Palace and chatted with Queen Yang for a while before leaving the palace.
Back at the house, Li Ke asked Wang Zhongchang to prepare everything for the trip.
The next day, Li Ke's cavalry left Chang'an City and headed towards Yingzhou.
Because, among Li Ke's wives, except for Wu Meiniang, the other female family members are accustomed to marching and camping and other outdoor survival. Li Ke's horse team is not very luxurious. Except for a few large cars and necessary daily necessities, there is not much Many other things. The cavalry headed towards Taiyuan Prefecture, then passed through Youzhou to Yingzhou, and then took the waterway from Yingzhou to Yangzhou.
This is the result of Li Ke¡¯s repeated thinking.
Because, one purpose of his trip this time, and another purpose was to test how Liu Rengui's navy was doing and whether it could have the power to fight. Li Ke is very aware of the current situation. The country is too peaceful, which is very detrimental to himself. If he wants to break this tranquility and make everyone look away from him, he must find other ways. Originally, the best plan was to solve the problems of the countries in the Western Regions, but they had just experienced the war between Tubo and Tuyuhun. The northwest army still needed to rest, and the Tang Dynasty was not very familiar with the countries in the Western Regions, so it needed to do some reconnaissance. Therefore, Li Ke set his target on Liaodong and Goryeo. In the Sui Dynasty, this small country could trap hundreds of thousands of imperial troops. Li Ke never thought of letting them go from the beginning. However, attacking Goryeo does not require too many naval forces. It mainly depends on the army. But the main reason why Li Ke attaches so much importance to the navy is Fusang, an ally of Goryeo. He doesn't like Fusang and Li Ke. But Fusang is separated from the Tang Dynasty by the sea. If he wants to destroy this country, the Tang Dynasty must have enough warships. , capable of transporting troops and supplies, as well as migrating people.
When the cavalry passed through Taiyuan and Youzhou, Li Ke only stayed for one day.
Even though Taiyuan Prefecture was Li Ke's old base, and the governor of Bingzhou was Li Ke's confidant general Chen Qi, Li Ke didn't stay long.
With such a marching speed, Li Ke and his party had been talking for nearly a month when they arrived at Yingzhou.
In Yingzhou, Liu Rengui welcomed Li Ke, Ashina Yun and others to the Governor's Mansion. Li Ke asked the female family members to rest, and he and Liu Rengui began to interview in the study.
"Zhengze, what's going on with your navy now?" Li Ke asked straight to the point.
"Your Highness, the Navy can fight!" Liu Rengui said with confidence, "What the Navy needs now is a fight to test its abilities through practice!"
"Have you found the island I asked you to find?" Li Ke asked. He had asked Liu Rengui to search for Taiwan before.
¡°We found it, but except for a few indigenous people, there is no one else on it, and the living conditions are very harsh, making it unfit for habitation!¡± Liu Rengui said.
"That's no problem. I want to turn this island into a prison for the Tang Dynasty!" Li Ke said lightly.
However, his words touched Liu Rengui very much. There were enough prisons in the Tang Dynasty, so why build prisons on desert islands? Besides, what are these prisons for?
"You can ask Chai Zhewei for the money to build the prison, and he will give it to you. As for the manpower? Your navy can go to Gaoli or Fusang. Won't it be useful to capture a few more people to provide labor?" Li Ke said with a smile.
"Your Highness - this -" Liu Rengui was confused.
"Don't worry, if anything happens, I will take care of it for you. Just do it like this!" Li Ke said with a slight smile. Seeing Liu Rengui's confusion, he added, "There will be many wars in the Tang Dynasty in the future. Is it possible that every time he surrenders? Do you have to kill all those who capture me? Besides, civilians can be killed, but some nobles cannot be killed. If I don¡¯t say anything, you know¡ª¡ª"
"Your Highness, don't worry, the general will understand!" Liu Rengui said.
"Well, I trust you very much. If you arrange a boat, I will leave for Yangzhou the day after tomorrow!" Li Ke said.
For Liu Rengui, Li Ke believed in his naval combat ability.
Therefore, he only wanted to see the warships, but he did not expect to inspect the Yingzhou Navy in person.
¡°Besides, he himself was on a trip, not a northern or southern tour. He was just a prince and had no right to inspect the Tang Dynasty Navy. Even if Liu Rengui was willing, he would not cause such trouble to Liu Rengui.
"Nuo" Liu Rengui took the order and left.
Li Ke and his party stayed in Yingzhou for a day, and the next day they boarded a warship from the Yingzhou Navy and started heading towards Yangzhou.
As the place where Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty stayed, Yangzhou was naturally prosperous., the scenery is even more unique.
Li Ke and his party set foot on Yangzhou Mansion, and Yangzhou Mansion officials immediately went out of the city to greet them.
Li Ke was not surprised at all by the actions of Yangzhou officials. If we say that Bingzhou is where his foundation lies, then Yangzhou is Li Tai's territory. And he had a good relationship with Li Tai. When Yangzhou officials offered him such attentiveness, Li Ke didn't want to refuse. He knew that this must be Li Tai's arrangement.
Li Ke stayed in Yangzhou for a long time. He almost traveled to all places in Suzhou and Hangzhou with Yangzhou as the center.
On this day, it¡¯s already June.
Li Ke was reading in the study when he saw Wang Zhongchang coming in a hurry and handed Li Ke a copy of the Eagle Guard secret.
After reading the secret message, Li Ke looked gloomy and didn't speak for a while.
Wang Zhongchang just stood quietly at Li Ke's side, waiting for Li Ke's instructions.
"It's raining heavily, and Luo water flows into Luoyang Palace. There must be something fishy here. Let the secret guards check it out!" Li Ke said lightly.
"Nuo" Wang Zhongchang took the order.
"You let Qisha come to the study!" Li Ke continued.
"Nuo¡ª¡ª" Wang Zhongchang took the order and left.
After a while, Qisha walked steadily into Li Ke's study.
As the leader of the Seven Kills, he has no tasks now. This time Li Ke took him with him during the trip.
Li Ke doesn¡¯t have any military position now. Apart from his personal guards, he can¡¯t mobilize any soldiers at all. Therefore, when he encounters problems, he can only rely on the powerful organization of Seven Kills.
"Qisha, your task now is to keep an eye on Changsun Wuji and Prince Li Chengqian for me!" Li Ke said coldly.
As the saying goes, if you resort to abnormal behavior, there will be evildoers. It is an abnormal thing that Luoshui can flow into Luoyang Palace. Li Ke feels that there must be something wrong here.
"Nuo" Qisha took the order and left.
A few days later, Zhongchang Wang handed Li Ke an official document on the court's handling of the heavy rain in Luoyang. He immediately studied it for a moment and then left it on the table.
He had already guessed that the imperial court's plan was to allocate money and food for disaster relief and conduct another general amnesty to bring this complicated issue to God's will.
However, Wang Zhongchang also gave him a copy of Wei Zheng's memorial, which greatly touched Li Ke.
Because Wei Zheng took this opportunity to write his own "Ten Thoughts on Admonishing Taizong": I heard that those who seek the growth of trees must consolidate their roots; those who want to flow far away must dredge up their springs; those who think about the security of the country must accumulate their roots. Deyi. The source is not deep but the flow is far away; the roots are not solid but the tree is long; the virtue is not strong but the country is safe. Although the minister is a fool, he knows that he cannot do it, but how about the wise and wise man? The king should be the most important weapon of the gods and live in the domain. It is so big that it will worship the heights of the sky, and it will never rest without borders. It will not think about living in peace and be prepared for danger, and will refrain from extravagance and be thrifty. It will not be rich in virtue, and its passion will be overwhelmed by its desires. It will also cut down the roots in order to grow trees, and block the source in order to have a long flow of water. Those who are. Civil and military affairs are in full swing, and the emperor and his ministers have nothing to do. They can enjoy the pleasure of traveling in Henan, support the life of pines and trees, and play the harp and hang the bows. It goes without saying. Why bother thinking so hard just to do the job of a hundred ministers?
Li Ke read this memorial carefully and gained a new understanding of Wei Zheng.
However, what Li Ke did not expect was that the Tang Dynasty today is different from the Tang Dynasty in history. Today, while the Tang Dynasty's treasury is full, its foreign wars have also achieved brilliant results. This made the emperor of the Tang Dynasty think something about it after seeing Wei Zheng's memorial, and began to do something that shocked Li Ke.
