There are also many people who praise Wang Kuang, saying that Wang Kuang's achievements are comparable to those of the Taigong, and his achievements are much better than those of the Taigong. Mr. Cheng also privately reminded Wang Kuang through Cheng Chumo that he should pay attention to keeping a low profile and don't get burned because of his superior achievements.
Wang Kuang just smiled. No one knew that he and Li Shimin had such a conversation. Moreover, as early as the beginning of the war, Wang Kuang had already asked Wei Xiaowu's Chang'an Car and Horse Racing Company to spread the news that all these strategies were It was brought up by the saint. Marquis Jian'an was just an executor. I believe it won't take long for this rumor to spread all over the country.
Wang Kuang has no interest in power and position, and his purpose is not here. This is also related to his character. Since he was a child, he did not like to compete with others, and he did not care much about what others thought of him. This was also in the era of centralized power of the emperor. Wang Kuang only I will pay a little more attention to what people in the world say. After all, he is not the only one here. There are brothers, elders, juniors, and many people who follow him Wang Kuang and want to get ahead. If Wang Kuang is unlucky, he will definitely suffer. is a large number
If it were placed in future generations, Wang Kuang would have announced to the people of the world that it would be okay if he wanted to be the president, because the world belongs to the people of the world, and anyone is qualified to aspire for that position. It just depends on whether the people recognize you. , if you can¡¯t be the one, it¡¯s because you don¡¯t have enough ability, layout, or connections. You won¡¯t be punished for it and you are here. Even if Wang Kuang really thinks about it, you have to keep it in your heart.
After all, there was no news about the affairs between Wang Kuang's former eldest grandson, the Empress, and himself. When there was no movement for three or four months, Wang Kuang knew that he was causing trouble. In the palace, there were no secret methods within the royal family. To prevent it? If there were no preventive measures in this era, wouldn't there be a lot of children born in Goulan Courtyard every year? As far as Wang Kuang knows, and from reading novels, jujube pits have been used for prevention many years ago. I don¡¯t know the specific usage, but it is obvious that the effect should not be bad, otherwise it would not have been spread for so many years.
Since that time, Queen Changsun had never seen Wang Kuang again. The more Wang Kuang felt at ease, the more she avoided seeing him. This was exactly the expression of Changsun's affection. At the same time, it was also because of I feel a little bit guilty towards the emperor and want to put an end to this bad relationship.
The rumored plan to make Wang Kuang a county official did not come true because of the emperor's return, because when Li Shimin came back, the plan for the Battle of Goguryeo had already begun to be implemented, and at the same time, the thirty-seven cities in peace had been handed over to the In the Tang Dynasty, these were not in Li Shimin's plan. It could be said that it exceeded his expectations. Originally, Li Shimin only thought that Wang Kuang would use the tiger talisman and external decision-making power he gave to the Jianzhou Navy to do something to Luo. Unexpectedly, Wang Kuang played such a big game of chess
Okay, since you, Wang Erlang, have played such a big game of chess, I have come to join in the fun, so there is Qin Huaiyu's big move. Qin Huaiyu often goes to Liuzhao to look for medicine, and although he doesn't talk much, he is very easy-going. In the past year, he has had good contacts with various ministries of Wuzhao, and has won the trust of the border people of Wuzhao. Sometimes, if there is any small friction or contradiction between Wuzhao, Qin Huaiyu will be asked to mediate. The emperor's personal guard If you come to mediate for a long time, this reputation is big enough and everyone will buy it.
Li Shimin, who was good at seizing opportunities, seized this opportunity early. In addition, Wang Kuang had already drawn it on the map. There was actually a gap in the south of Tubo. This gap was only able to be overcome on the edge of Liuzhao. If the rapid river can flow upstream, it can go straight to where Zanpu is. So Qin Huaiyu disappeared like this for two years. Even old man Qin Qiong said he didn't know where Qin Huaiyu was. As for him, he really didn't know. If he was still pretending not to know, then only he knew it in his heart. Cheng Chumo and Yu Chiguan definitely didn¡¯t know anyway. If they knew, they would have been unable to hide their words and told Wang Kuang.
The untimely appointment of Wang Kuang as a Duke was precisely because the war had already begun. According to the Tang newspaper, the victory was absolute. It was uncertain to what extent the victory would be. But no matter how much the victory was, according to the original plan, the victory would be guaranteed. Years from now, the War of Goguryeo will be over. After all, no matter how abundant the treasury of the Tang Dynasty is, it is the result of the people's hard work for so many years. It is okay to destroy Goguryeo, but it may drag on the war for several years. This is This is not Wang Kuang¡¯s original wish. There are still many things to do in the Tang Dynasty, and there are still many places where money is needed.
This is like buying something that costs 1,000 yuan, and your monthly income at this time is only 3,000 yuan, then you will have to spend one-third of your income. But if your income rises to 10,000 yuan, If you come and buy it, the price of that thing will not go up a bit at most, and the proportion you have to pay will be much smaller, so you won¡¯t feel it¡¯s a bit expensive.
At the end of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, when everything came to an end for the time being, the largest reward award since Zhenguan began. The person who took the first place was Wang Kuang. There is no doubt about this. Wang Kuang was the one who strongly advocated the Goguryeo strategy. , and he started the arrangements very early. When Japan returned to Tang Dynasty,??, Wang Kuang pointed the finger at Goguryeo intentionally or unintentionally.
Wang Kuang proposed to fight the Uighurs. Now that they are defeated, rewards will be given based on merit. Moreover, Li Shiji was instructed by Wang Kuang to completely block Goguryeo's escape route from west to north, and also allowed Li Shiji to The pressure on Qin Qiong, Li Yesi and others has been reduced a lot. The first contribution was made by Li Shiji, but the contribution was made by Wang Kuang.
The change of the Six Imperial Edicts seems to have nothing to do with Wang Kuang, but in fact, if there is no Wang Kuang, the Six Imperial Edicts will always maintain the previous situation. They listen to the announcement but not the tune. The central government has the name of jurisdiction but no actual jurisdiction.
As for Tubo, if Wang Kuang had not vigorously promoted the technology and seed blockade policy and opposed the marriage of princesses, Tubo would have benefited greatly from this and narrowed the gap between it and the Tang Dynasty. Wang Kuang's suggestion made it impossible for Tubo's strategy to succeed. The gap between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty became wider and wider, and the Tang Dynasty also formed a de facto blockade of Tubo for nearly ten years, making Tubo's situation in recent years worse and worse. Not as good as a year ago, the Qing Dynasty soldiers greatly consumed Tubo's food and grass, so that the soldiers hoarded on the border did not dare to retreat easily. A backward slave society whose productivity was hundreds of years behind the Tang Dynasty, how could it afford to consume it? Such a hoard of troops? On the surface, Tubo is still very tyrannical. In fact, except for the border areas, the entire interior of Tubo has no troops available. It is just an empty frame. It looks very big. I gently find the joints, twist it, and they fall apart.
Regarding Anxi, thirty-seven cities, ten thousand catties of gold, and so many swollen camels, etc., all have Wang Kuang's presence. Although Wang Kuang repeatedly said that the credit for Anxi was not his own, and that he only helped to add fuel to the flames, but He couldn't tell whose plan this was. Although Li Shimin also learned about Ju Zhili's affairs from Wang Kuang privately, Ju Zhili was now in An'xi and would continue to implement the strategy of completely bringing down An'i. Therefore, he could not be was exposed, so it was up to the big guys to put the credit on Wang Kuang's head.
After all the calculations, Wang Kuang's influence was present in almost everything, and it did not play an ordinary role, but a vital role. This year, the war was able to be fought without any worries, although there were rumors among the people. It was the wise arrangement of the saint and the wise decision of employing people appropriately, but all the big shots in the court understood that without the farming method that made the Tang Dynasty full of grain now, without the Jianzhou navy to have built a strong army, without the march Cakes, amber candies, etc. greatly reduced the weight of the army. Without the mass production of steel knives and crossbows, without clairvoyance, without fire mirrors, and many other things, the Tang army would never have been able to fight without fear and victory. That's for sure, but the price paid for this victory is probably that the world that has just been settled will have to suffer for many more years.
The big guys deliberately want to take advantage of this opportunity to push Wang Kuang to the position of king. If such a big credit cannot be pushed, it will be difficult in the future. Didn¡¯t you listen to what Wang Li and Wang Erlang said? So far, The territory of the Later Tang Dynasty accounts for at least 60% of the 100% of the world's territory. Of course, this will have to wait until Xu Guoxu returns from the sea, but Wang Kuang said there are so many, then there must be so many. When did Wang Erlang do it? Something to be sure of? When did you ever say something big?
It is conceivable that when Xu Guoxu returns from the sea, the territory of the Tang Dynasty will be much expanded. Among the five continents, Asia is almost the largest, Yuanzhou is already the meat of the mouth, and America has only two empires with only a few million people. It still basically belongs to the late primitive society, and they seem to be relatively peaceful towards outsiders. As long as the Tang Dynasty does not infringe on their interests, they will naturally integrate with the Tang Dynasty as time goes by.
Don't rush, we have plenty of time. The population of the Tang Dynasty, even including Goguryeo, Huilan and other places, is less than 20 million, yet it has such a vast territory and such a large space. Datang will have enough time to develop slowly. This is to exchange space for time. To be precise, after eliminating external threats, Datang can develop in a very gentle way instead of using destructive methods. Development, this should be the most fundamental reason why the people behind the scenes chose me?
Could it be that this is related to the doomsday theory? Is it necessary to gather all the human power in the universe and use every drop of energy as much as possible to fight against the doomsday? Before Wang Kuang came, it was before the so-called doomsday. Although he did not believe that human history would eventually end in 2012, since the universe was born, it must die. Could it be that the people behind the scenes have begun to realize that they need to prepare?
Wang Kuang was thinking wildly, while Li Shimin began to announce that the seal was to be continued.
