Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 593 Who shall we destroy first [PS: no group]

It's cool to eat for a while, and it's cool to eat all the time.

But after eating, returning to the palace, they will be unlucky.

The queen knew that the emperor took several princes and daughters out to open a small stove, so she was very angry and funny.She can't do anything with the emperor, can she still have a few little guys?

Ever since, a few little fellows were brutally suppressed, and painstakingly copied the palace rules.

The queen's majesty in the harem is quite powerful, because she has the support of the emperor, coupled with the queen's own means, which makes her say what she says.Sometimes, the emperor didn't dare to oppose the empress because of matters in the harem, so he could only submissively raise some opinions.

The so-called male dominates the outside, and the female dominates the inside, that's probably what it says.

When the time comes to Dongyue, disaster relief in various places is getting better and better.For the court ministers, this is a matter of course.

There are many reasons, mainly because the emperor is willing to bleed, plus the tribute from the grassland and the disaster relief experience brought by frequent disasters.

Many ministers suddenly realized, hehe, the prairie people are so interesting, the tribute must continue!
Who the hell doesn't know whoring in vain?

In the past, the emperors of the Central Plains Dynasty wanted to save face, and were quite generous to foreign races. Sometimes they would not ask their tribute even when they laid down their deadly enemies, worrying that they would not be able to control the field on the grassland.

But Emperor Zhenguan was obviously not afraid, not only not afraid, but also hoped that the grassland people would cause trouble.And the thinking of the ministers has gradually changed.

When everyone finds out that the prairie people are not human beings, it's so fucking awesome!
Among other things, the old-fashioned thing is to build cement roads.

As the official roads in Guanzhong were gradually replaced by cement roads, the ministers realized how beneficial the changes in productivity were.

And it was those damned prairie people who changed everything.

At first, everyone thought that treating grassland people as human beings would arouse their resistance, but when they saw the benefits visible to the naked eye, I'm sorry, it's so delicious!

Take the prairie people to improve the road construction in Datang, killing two birds with one stone.It can not only consume the vitality of the grassland, but also build the country.

How great!
As a result, the courtiers are now looking forward to it. If they kill a few grassland tribes and capture slaves to build roads, it will be a god!

Right now, Li Zhiyun still has a great demand for slaves, because he needs to dig mines, build roads, connect rivers, and even use grassland women to weave cloth.

However, because both the Khitan and the Xi people were killed, the slaves are currently replenished, so a balance can be reached for the time being.

Coupled with successive years of disasters, and considering the near-collapse of the people's livelihood and economy of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhiyun could only endure the thought of expanding the territory and use up the Khitan and Xi people for the time being.

Wait another year or two, when the Khitan and Xi tribes are exhausted, the economy will definitely recover at that time, and then send troops to the grasslands, just find an excuse or use woolen clothes to buy slaves, it is feasible.

Hall of Liangyi.

A map of the Tang Dynasty was spread on the ground. Li Zhiyun lowered his head, stepped on his socks, and walked back and forth on the map.

The north is already in the bag, and it can be done whatever it wants.

In the south, Feng An is helping him cultivate land, so don't think about it for now.

Goguryeo and other countries in the northeast, Li Zhiyun intends to kill them, but he knows in his heart that now is not the time.

Ever since, his remaining goals have become clear.

The Western Regions, and the sea.

It is not a day's work to engage in sailing in the sea.

Therefore, the next step is for Li Zhiyun to send troops to the Western Regions.

However, he was a little hesitant.

He hesitated to kill Xue Yantuo and Uyghur first, and then mobilize troops to the Western Regions, or first to mobilize troops to the Western Regions and then turn around and kill the remaining two dogs on the grassland.

After much deliberation, he thinks both are fine.

When he was hesitating, Wei Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of officials, asked to see him.

"pass."

"Yes."

Not long after, Wei Zheng strode into the Liangyi Hall.

"Chen Wei Zheng, pay homage to Your Majesty, and respectfully greet Sheng An."

"I'm safe, Wei Qing is free."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Zheng straightened his back and said, "I have been ordered to rectify the administration of officials, and I have initially drawn up candidates. Please look over them, Your Majesty."

With that said, he presented the memorial.

Gao Liangzhong took it and handed it over to the emperor.

While the emperor was reading the memorial, Wei Zheng quietly looked at the map.

Ministers basically know the ambitions of the current emperor.Looking at the constantly eliminated armored soldiers and the grassland slaves who died digging coal and smelting iron, one should know in one's heart that the emperor is still frantically building up armaments.

However, Wei Zheng still intends to persuade the emperor to wait, at least one or two years before people's livelihood recovers.

After reading the memorial, Li Zhiyun said: "Okay, let's do this."

"According to the order."

Li Zhiyun went on to say: "To rectify the administration of officials, don't force it, so as not to cause chaos. If necessary, use cleverness."

Wei Zheng nodded, "I understand, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"Well, I can rest assured that you are doing business."

After handing over the Ministry of Officials to Wei Zheng, Li Zhiyun was ready to make waves in the government and the opposition.He hadn't been on the throne for a long time before, so he couldn't mess around.

Now, he's going to use the knife.

It is not necessary to directly kill everyone in the family, but it is necessary to kill those particularly arrogant bastards.

For example, those who are greedy for ink and donate food.

Another example is that disaster relief is not good.

Or, those who are disobedient.

Anyway, it's impossible not to find a ruthless person to handle this matter.

And Wei Zheng is undoubtedly the most suitable.

Immediately, Wei Zheng asked: "Your Majesty, are you planning to use troops abroad?"

"No, I just took a look." Li Zhiyun sighed, "I just thought, now is not the time."

"Your Majesty is wise." Wei Zheng was very satisfied with the emperor's intelligence, so he comforted him instead: "Your Majesty is in his prime, and sooner or later he will be able to create unprecedented achievements. Now that the people are suffering from disasters, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs cannot make ends meet, we really cannot use troops now."

"Well, I know, Ai Qing has a heart."

After speaking a few words with the emperor, Wei Zheng left.When he had just left the Hall of Liangyi, he saw several generals entering the Hall of Liangyi one after another.

Because he knew that the emperor didn't want to use troops, he didn't think much about it. He just thought that the generals met with the emperor to report on their duties.

Inside the hall.

"They're all here." Li Zhiyun looked at Li Jing and the others.

"The last general waits, and pays homage to His Majesty."

"Excuse me, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the generals sat down, Li Zhiyun looked around and said, "I called you here this time mainly to discuss and discuss. After a few years, the people's livelihood in the Tang Dynasty will be restored. Who should we destroy first?"

This is the arrogance of Emperor Zhenguan, who opened his mouth to destroy the country, without any concealment.

Li Jing still kept silent, never opening his mouth first.In fact, the most low-key of the six is ​​Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War.

Unless the emperor opened his mouth to ask him, he would definitely fish if he could.He even wished the emperor would fire him.

Anyway, he has merits and money, so it is better to leave the chaotang, a place of right and wrong, as soon as possible, and go home to retire.

But the emperor wanted him to stay, which made Li Jing helpless and moved.

Qin Qiong was cautious, looked at the map and analyzed: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that Xue Yantuo and Uighur should be destroyed first, and the grassland should be completely destroyed."

"Details." Li Zhiyun beckoned to the servant, and the servant served hot tea for the emperor to quench his thirst.

And Qin Qiong said: "There are many countries in the Western Regions, and the Western Turks are raging. If you attack the Western Turks first, it will inevitably be troublesome. The war will not end within a year or two. It is better to destroy the weakest grassland tribe first, and wait for the north to have no hidden dangers. It's safe to go in."

It fits Qin Qiong's cautious temperament.

Yu Chigong disagreed and said: "You are right, but you are too cautious. The grassland is so weak now, with Wanqi going north, everything can be swept away.

Your Majesty, the general feels that he can fight the Western Regions and show off the prestige of the Tang Dynasty! "
