Datang Nongwang

Li Ke shook his head, somewhat disbelieving what Li Chongyuan said.

Li Ke really didn't believe Li Chongyuan's claim that he could predict the future.

In Li Ke's world view, although there are such people in this world, they are definitely not Li Chongyuan.

"Shande, Li Chunfeng is good at this mysterious technique. You say you can predict the future. I am really speechless. Well, Shande, your ability to tell jokes is really not good. In two days, I will issue an imperial edict. , let you lead the troops to fight against the northern enemy, go." Li Ke didn't believe it, and said directly with a smile.

What Li Jing they will die in a month.

What Wu Mei Niang is like following Li Zhi will rule the world of Tang Dynasty.

He didn't believe it at all.

He had seen that martial artist before, but she was just a bold woman who hooked up with Li Zhi. He had heard of this before, but it was just that Li Zhi felt that the martial artist was pretty. How can such a woman be able to hold the power of Datang?

Li Chongyuan knew.

If he said that, Li Ke would not believe that he was telling the truth.

There is a saying.

It is really not convincing to say that I can predict the future.

What needs to be convincing must be realized on the spot, which is called letter service.

Li Chongyuan's head was running fast, trying his best to find something that was very likely to happen and could make Li Ke believe what he said.

Suddenly, Li Chongyuan remembered someone, "My lord, I know you don't believe what I said. However, in order to prove that I can predict the future, I will use one thing to prove it."

"What can you prove?" Li Ke looked at Li Chongyuan with a smile.

Li Chongyuan pointed to the west, "King Yanqi is deceased, and the people of his country restored the old king Tuqizhi. I believe that in a few days, there will be news from Yanqi to the capital."

"You!!!" Li Ke looked at Li Chongyuan in horror.

Seeing Li Ke looking at him in horror, Li Chongyuan already guessed in his heart that Yanqi must have passed the news to Li Ke to know.

Li Chongyuan then said two more things.

And after these two things were said, Li Ke was even more shocked.

Li Ke was shocked.

Also panicked.

What surprised Li Ke was what Li Chongyuan said, what surprised him was Li Chongyuan's ability to predict the future.

And what he panicked was not because he was afraid of what Li Chongyuan would do to him, but because Li Jing and others would die in a month.

The panic is also because Li Chongyuan has the ability to predict the future, so he is afraid.

Before leaving, Li Chongyuan also told Li Ke that the former crown prince Li Zhi hooked up with Li Shimin's woman. It was Li Chongyuan who discovered it by using the so-called predicting the future.

to this end.

Because of this, Li Ke was panicked and then afraid.

There is a saying, who has no privacy.

With such a person who can predict the future, can Li Ke not be surprised, can he not panic.

but.

Li Ke was startled and panicked, he couldn't believe it, but he still sent people to Ganye Temple to investigate.

But Li Chongyuan returned to the mansion, and after discussing some things with Li Yuan, with Li Yuan's consent, he sent Li Yuan to Li Zhuang.

Come on.

Li Yuan didn't feel comfortable living in Chang'an.

After returning to Li Zhuang, the eyebrows relaxed a lot.

About Li Yuan.

Li Chongyuan has always had a doubt.

Is it because of his own reasons that Li Yuan has lived for so long?

Many people and many things, as long as they don't participate, will generally follow the track of history.

But once he intervened, the original development track of things changed.

Even people are the same.

Li Chongyuan sometimes doubts himself, but also doubts the little lunatic who has already been promoted to the Lizhuang farm.

before.

Li Chongyuan once suspected that it was because of the little lunatic that Li Chongyuan was able to go so smoothly.

But that doesn't seem to be the case.

In the past, whether Li Chongyuan was in Chang'an or in Lizhuang.

At least, it seems that the old people in Lizhuang seldom die.

But as I went to the Eastern Continent, or went to other places, one or two old people in Lizhuang would die.

If I don't leave, the old people in Lizhuang seem to be alive, and even those who are sick will be well.

Li Chongyuan couldn't find the reason.

It can only be attributed to the one above the head.

Only that one can control the fate of everyone in the world and the direction of all things.

If people want you to die in the third watch, you will definitely not survive the fifth watch.

Even the genius doctor Sun Simiao, who was nowhere to be found, was no match for the one above him.

Three days later.

Li Ke sent someone to invite Li Chongyuan into the palace.

This time.

Li Ke's eyes on Li Chongyuan changed, and he became very careful.

"Shande, what do you think of Buddhism?" Li Ke invited Li Chongyuan into the palace this time, not asking about the future, but about Buddhism.

When Li Chongyuan heard Li Ke's question, he was a little confused, so, "What does the Holy One mean?"

"I don't mean anything, I just want to hear Shande's opinion on Buddhism." Li Ke said.

Li Chongyuan thought for a while, "What do you think? The Holy Majesty also knows that my aunt believes in Buddhism, and my aunt's elder brother has become a monk. Moreover, the Supreme Emperor has a very good relationship with a master on Niu Shou Mountain. The Buddhists have opinions, but they dare not say anything."

"Haha, Shande, there are only you and me here, so we can say whatever we want. Besides, since he ascended the throne, the Supreme Emperor has always promoted the Tao and restrained the Buddha. Recently, I heard that many temples in Chang'an City have a lot of loans and pawns. , That's why I invited you to the palace to hear your opinion." Li Ke laughed.

When Li Chongyuan heard that it was about temple lending and pawning again, he was really unhappy.

Li Chongyuan didn't like the so-called Buddhism at all.

Not to mention occupying countless lands, and not paying taxes, it is even making some hateful money.

Li Chongyuan sighed for a long time, "The Holy Majesty asked me about Buddhism, I really don't know what to say. Most of these temples in Chang'an City, at least [-]% of the temples, have His Majesty doesn’t like what they do. If His Majesty really wants to attack them, why not ask Master Xuanzang who came back from Tianzhu the year before last to discuss the scriptures. If you think about it, Master Xuanzang will definitely give you a lesson. answer."

"Xuanzang, I have invited him into the palace, I don't believe what he said." Li Ke shook his head.

When Li Chongyuan heard this, he secretly smiled.

Xuanzang is a Buddhist family, he naturally hopes that there will be more temples in the world, the better, so how could he feel that there are few temples.

After listening to Li Ke's words, Li Chongyuan stopped hiding his words and said directly: "My lord, all the surnames in the world are paying taxes, so why don't monks and Taoists pay taxes? When the first emperor was in power, he asked his ministers to formulate tax laws for the sake of paying taxes. It is to let everyone pay taxes to the Tang Dynasty. Although this tax law is still being drafted, the center of the tax law is that everyone should pay taxes, including noble officials and so on. The late emperor once said that all people in the world are equal Yes, but how can these monks and Taoists be an exception?"

"Shande, you are so right. Everyone in the world is equal, and no one can be an exception. Father's foresight is far ahead of us." Li Ke felt deeply.

Li Chongyuan continued: "The temple occupies a lot of land in our Tang Dynasty, and the land does not need to be taxed or paid. This is extremely unfair to the farmers and people in the world. Besides, they pawn , Lending money to make a living, these, what kind of temple monks are these, they are a group of moths from my Tang Dynasty."

"Then how to solve it?" Li Ke asked.

Li Chongyuan said with a smile: "Reduce the number of monks and nuns, take back the temple land, pawns must pay taxes to the court, and lending must be strictly controlled, and a money law must be formulated. Only in this way can the unlimited expansion of the temple be prevented."

Li Ke was moved.

What Li Chongyuan said, he could understand some, but could not understand some.

this day.

Li Chongyuan chatted with Li Ke all day.

And during the whole day, they all went around the temple.

until after dark.

Only then did Li Chongyuan come out of the palace comfortably.

Li Chongyuan, who was able to come out of the palace, looked at the stars in the sky with a smile on his face, "Li Ke, Li Ke, I have worked so hard to let you sit on the throne of emperor. Your and my thoughts can be so compatible. Even if you don't let me take the position of servant, I'm still willing."

a few days later.

Li Ke's imperial decree has arrived.

Li Chongyuan accepted the order, but it was only after a month that he took command and appointed general.

After being sent off by Zhu Ying and others, and wiped away by the old lady, they set off for the expedition.

Li Chongyuan's first Northern Expedition, even the emperor Li Ke came to see him off.

After drinking Zhuangxing wine and putting on the yellow armor given by Li Ke, Li Chongyuan rode his horse and set out to fight against the northern enemy in the name of Marshal of the Northern Expedition Army.

Who is the Northern Enemy?

Ashina Helu.

Ashina He Luyuan Tang surrendered.

Unexpectedly, after hearing about Li Shimin's death, this guy recruited his tribe and some remnants of the north. At the beginning of the year, he captured the two states of Xi and Ting in the Tang Dynasty, killed thousands of people and moved westward to build Yating in Qianlong. Quan, known as Shaboluo Khan, ruled over the tribes with ten surnames such as Dulu and Nushibi.

A surrendered general dared to attack Datang, and it was after Li Shimin's death.

Li Ke couldn't bear it, and Li Chongyuan couldn't bear such a person either.

Only by killing can he understand that the people of Tang Dynasty did not shed blood in vain.

Li Chongyuan's Northern Expedition this time was ordered, and Ashina Helu was not the only one to be attacked.

It is even more important to attack some Turkic remnants in the north.

Although Li Chongyuan followed the will of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chongyuan did not act according to Li Ke's will and went directly northward.

At this time, people who followed Li Chongyuan's Northern Expedition.

There are hundreds of thousands of Tang soldiers.

Similarly, there are three thousand Xiang family soldiers.

What's more, thirty thousand pirates.

The pirate was Li Chongyuan who temporarily asked Chen Juan to inform the pirates on Liuqiu Island to follow him in the northern expedition.

Li Chongyuan didn't know what to do when the pirates fought on land.

But no matter what, with these fierce people around, why should the Northern Enemy be afraid.

For this Northern Expedition, Li Chongyuan asked Chen Huan to go back to Xixiang, consulted their master Mo Fei, and bought some good things for Li Chongyuan.

As for Li Chongyuan's Northern Expedition, Tie Leizi had done a lot under Li Chongyuan's preparation.

This is not.

On the road, on top of many carriages, boxes and boxes of things were covered by straw, no one knew what they were.

May.

When Li Chongyuan arrived in the deep part of the north, there was no need for Li Chongyuan to dispatch. The pirates swept all the way under the orders of Chen Juan and the others.

Wherever pirates haunt, there is no one alive.

There are no living things that can survive except cattle, sheep and horses.

Li Chongyuan was no stranger to this pirate's way of fighting.

As for the generals who accompanied Li Chongyuan on the expedition, they seemed to have great opinions.

Although Li Chongyuan went out on the orders of Li Ke, and Li Chongyuan also appointed generals, there were still generals in the army who were not Li Chongyuan.

mid-June.

Li Chongyuan fought all the way from the north to the west, from the Yinshan Protectorate to the Jinshan area.

of course.

This kind of attack by Li Chongyuan was only to destroy those remaining northern forces.

Li Chongyuan directly filtered out the tribes that had long been attached to the Tang Dynasty and had no signs of rebellion.

But Li Chongyuan and the others went from north to west all the way, and none of the tribes in the north dared to do anything, even when Li Chongyuan crossed the border, they sent cattle, sheep and horses.

Yes, Li Chongyuan took it.

Yes, but Li Chongyuan didn't take a single hair.

mid july.

Another month later.

The army led by Li Chongyuan has reached the western Turkic area.

When Ashina Helu of Qianquan heard that Datang had sent an army of [-] to attack him, he immediately ordered all the tribes to assemble all their forces, intending to launch a surprise attack on Li Chongyuan.

The idea is good.

But actually.

In mid-August, after Li Chongyuan led his army to sweep through the countries of the Western Regions, he entered Qianquan directly from the Ili River.

and.

Within a day, Qianquan City was destroyed.

And originally thought that Li Chongyuan would attack Qianquan from the direction of Qiuci, but they didn't expect that they waited for a month, let alone wait for a while, and the lair was gone.

And Li Chongyuan didn't stop either.

Go south to surround Ashina Helu, and after killing tens of thousands of people, he is captured alive.

So far, the Northern Expedition is over, and the squadron returns to the dynasty.

Unexpectedly.

When the class teacher returned to the court and passed by Shazhou, he heard that [-] Tubo troops had come to invade.

Without further ado, Li Chongyuan ordered to attack Tubo.

Not to mention the [-] troops that wiped out Tubo, they directly inserted the flag of the Tang Dynasty into Doma and north of the source of the Yellow River in the south of Jishi Mountain.

After Tubo heard that its 5 army was destroyed, it sent an additional [-] people to take back Doma.

Unexpectedly.

These 5 people were all blown to pieces by the iron thunder in the cloth bag set up by Li Chongyuan, and none of them survived.

At this time, it was winter, and the cold had prevented the Tubo Kingdom from sending troops again.

Li Chongyuan left behind [-] soldiers, took Ashina Helu, and drove millions of cattle, sheep and horses back to Chang'an.

captive?

No.

There is only one Ashina Helu.

early december.

When the heavy snow fell, Li Chongyuan, who had been on the expedition for ten months, returned to Beijing.

When Li Ke heard that Li Chongyuan, who had not heard from him for ten months, had returned to Beijing, and that there were millions of cattle, sheep and horses outside the city, he was stunned.

All the court officials were even more stunned.

Li Ke led the court officials out of the city to meet him.

When they saw the cattle, sheep and horses outside the city, they were all dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty ordered the Northern Expedition, and the decree has been completed. Please review it." Li Chongyuan knelt down on half-knee and shouted loudly after seeing Li Ke.

Li Ke quickly helped him up, "Thank you, thank you."

a few days later.

Li Chongyuan was invited to court.

Under a crowd of court officials, the servants announced the results of Li Chongyuan's Northern Expedition.

When the results of Li Chongyuan's Northern Expedition came out, all court officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

Even Cheng Yaojin, who wanted to use the opportunity to attack Li Chongyuan, shut up after hearing the results of Li Chongyuan's Northern Expedition.

Because of Li Chongyuan's great achievements in the Northern Expedition, Li Ke decided on the spot, "Li Chongyuan, the king of Xisha, has made extraordinary achievements. In addition to the north and other tribes in the Western Regions, he defeated Ashina Helu, and even inserted our Tang flag into the territory of Tubo. And From last year to this year, Li Chongyuan has promoted high-yield grain and abundant harvests. This achievement has never been done before or since, and now Li Chongyuan canonize him as the King of Agriculture in the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Chongyuan was stunned.

The court officials were even more stunned.
