Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 1016 Grand Plan
Liu Mu snickered seeing Li Shimin wearing full body armor.

"Is it ridiculous? What's so ridiculous?" Li Shimin asked with a dark face.

Liu Mu replied truthfully: "The age of firearms is also the era when traditional armors disappear, and the new generation of armors still needs to be studied. Apart from looking mighty, the emperor's body has no special use."

"Really?" Li Shimin asked indifferently.

Liu Mu continued: "Second brother, if he really wants to fight Goguryeo, the Shence Guard Firearms Battalion will go all out to fight, and it is estimated that they can flatten Goguryeo in three months. Their city is not enough to defend against the general artillery formation of Shence Guard. Under such circumstances, the guards of the Street Fighter God can blast all the way through, and there is no need to consider defending against back arrows."

Li Shimin shook his head: "It seems that you still don't understand."

"Does the second brother have more clever tactics? I really think that regardless of military expenses, the firepower is very strong."

"That's right, your firepower crushing is not only strong, but also extremely domineering. Not to mention a city, even a high mountain can push the Shencewei Firearms Battalion to the ground. But you still don't understand."

Liu Mu was really confused this time, what did he not understand?
Li Shimin patted Liu Mu's shoulder lightly: "The purpose of Da Tang's attack on Goguryeo is not to conquer that piece of land, but a very sacred and very important ceremony."

"ceremony?"

Liu Mu exclaimed, he couldn't think of any relationship between war and ceremony.

Li Shimin looked up to the sky and laughed, very happy and happy.

"If you want to fight Goguryeo, you have the certainty of victory a few years ago. Why don't you fight? It's not that you can't beat it, but you are waiting for an opportunity. An opportunity to complete the ceremony."

When Li Shimin mentioned the word "ceremony" for the second time, Liu Mu didn't know what to say.

Li Shimin explained: "Why do we talk about the ceremony? Before the Sui Dynasty, a million-strong army conquered Goguryeo three times, causing countless casualties. It can be said that the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty was caused by the construction of canals and the expedition to Goguryeo. The construction of railways in the Tang Dynasty is no less expensive than the construction of canals. It takes a lot of manpower.”

"Well, railroads are harder to build than canals."

"That's right, so what do the common people think? The common people are afraid that the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty will repeat itself. Therefore, the defeat of Goguryeo is a ceremony, a ceremony for all the people in the world to see. It can be said that the majority of the people in the world do not even know what happened. What, but it is different when it comes to Goguryeo, and the people still have a deep pain in their hearts."

Liu Mu understands a sentence of hidden pain.

The families of the Sui army and civilian husbands who died in the Battle of Goguryeo are still alive. It can be said that all the people, their relatives and friends in the entire Tang Dynasty have experienced the Battle of Goguryeo. This is a kind of pain, a pain deep in the heart .

What Li Shimin gave to the people of Datang was a good medicine.

At this time, Datang and Goguryeo are like a strong elite swordsman facing a child holding a wooden stick.

The elite swordsman also has to put on a gorgeous posture and fight the child holding a wooden stick with a rigorous attitude.

Li Shimin wants to bring glory, confidence and pride to the people of Datang.

The destruction of Goguryeo opened up the arrogance and mind of the Tang people who looked down on Huanyu.

"Goguryeo has been kept for so many years, and now it has become a sacrifice at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin slowly drew out his saber, and made a gesture of a warrior, with a confident and joyful smile on his face.

The court meeting began, and the discussion at the court meeting was still about agriculture, politics, business and the sea, without mentioning war.

The war is only prepared secretly by the Shangshu Province, the cabinet, and the six high-level officials.

In the evening, Jin Wei Zhongli knelt in front of the study door of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

For a serf who used to be a Japanese lord and didn't even have a name, Jin Wei Zhongli, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was as noble as the sun high above.

Kneeling and prostrating are not common rituals in Tang Dynasty.

According to the regulations of the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty, there are five kneelings for the emperor, relatives and teachers of heaven and earth, and there are five non-kneelings in addition.

There is no need to kneel in front of the king's ceremony, only in the big ceremony, the big etiquette, you need to kneel and worship the big ceremony. Compared with the king's ceremony, there are quite a lot of kneeling times for the two items of parent and teacher.

According to the regulations of the Ministry of Etiquette, Konoe Tadari is only in front of the emperor, he does not need to kneel down.

Konoe Tadari no matter what others said, he insisted on kneeling in front of the door and waiting to be summoned. His attitude was so tough that the guards couldn't help it.

Of course, this also gave Li Shimin a chance to be close to the people.

After receiving Li Jing from the Ministry of War, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty walked to the door of the study in person, and raised Jinwei Zhongli with one hand: "All the people in the world, all the tribes are my people, and they are all children of heaven just like me. I accept it, come, come with me to the study, I have some official duties for you."

Konoe Tadari entered the study room after a quarter of an hour.

Among the soldiers of the Fusang tribe, the genius general who ranked third in martial arts, strategy, formation and other assessments couldn't stop his tears. A quarter of an hour.

In the study room, there is Konoe Tadori a seat.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was making tea himself, and he made a cup for Liu Mu and ordered Jin Wei Zhongli to drink a cup.

Konoe Tadari wanted to stand up and thank you, but Li Shimin stopped him: "Sit down, I just said that all the people in the world are my family members, why should my family members sit together and drink a cup of tea without constantly saluting."

Liu Mu is observing Jin Wei Zhongli. At this time, Jin Wei Zhongli only needs a hint from Li Shimin to charge Li Shimin with a pack of explosives.

Li Shimin didn't mention the official business first, but asked: "I heard that there was a tsunami on Fusang Island a few years ago, and there were many victims. The Ministry of Rites sent people to relieve the disaster. How are the victims doing now?"

"Okay, everyone still has rice to eat and clothes to wear."

Konoe Tadari's words are indeed from the heart. Nearly [-] mu of land has been destroyed, but the food is still better than when he was a serf. Let each family help each other, and there will be enough food until the next harvest.

"The family is doing well."

"Thank you saint, my family is fine, if it wasn't for..." Jinwei Zhongli cried again.

Liu Mu patted him aside: "Okay, let's get down to business. You should have heard about the battle between Qian Sui and Goguryeo when you were in the training camp."

Jinwei Zhongli jumped up violently: "I wish to charge forward for the saint, if I can't take the head of King Goguryeo, I will offer my head."

"Sit down." There was a hint of sternness in Li Shimin's tone.

After Konoe Tadori sat down obediently, Li Shimin said: "A long time ago, the people of Baekje had connections with the Yamato Kingdom. News, you take over Tsushima Island, and then take the fleeing Baekje nobles and troops to Nagato."

Although Konoe Tadari has learned the art of war, although he is excellent, he can be regarded as a middle school student at most: "Sage, my subordinates don't understand much."
