Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 297 Map of Liaodong, Samurai Xun
When Li Xiuning went to see his father, Li Shimin in the imperial study had a thoughtful look on his face, and his eyes fell on the map in front of him.

This map is marked with some information about the situation outside Liaodong, and there are also a lot of foreign forces mixed in it.

Among them, what Li Shimin cares most about is a place on the map, which is nothing but Goguryeo.

You must know that when Yang Guang failed in the three expeditions, Li Shimin watched all of this, and even felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

"Sooner or later, I will step on Goguryeo!"

Li Shimin clenched his hands and murmured softly, obviously he was not at peace in his heart, if he could accomplish what Yang Guang failed to do, then his prestige would also increase significantly.

If it is said that among the few things that Li Shimin cares about the most, then it is naturally the item of reputation.

You must know that Li Shimin was very concerned about his reputation after the Xuanwu Gate, after all, his position was not justified.

It is for this reason that Li Shimin pays more attention to the issue of his own reputation, and has always wanted to make some achievements.

The most obvious one is to defeat these alien races. This is a shortcut, but it will cost a lot of money.

Of course, on the one hand, it is also a threat from Datang, so investment must be indispensable. Now Li Shimin is thinking about starting a war.

Fortunately, Li Shimin also knows that the time is not yet, and he must know that he has put Xue Rengui above this position despite all opinions, just hoping that Xue Rengui can quickly form an army.

After all, he had investigated the hundred people under Xue Rengui before, they were all ordinary people, and they had never been trained before.

So Li Shimin took a gamble, and besides that, it was because of his sub-father.

According to Xue Rengui's answer, all these were taught by the teacher, which is also one of the reasons why Li Shimin made up his mind.

You have to know if the things in the hands of this sub-father can be ordinary, they must not be ordinary. Everyone in the world says that Duke An Xuan is unparalleled in talent, and even Li Shimin has to admit this.

Obviously this Asian father didn't have any experience in leading troops, but he had a bodyguard that even he envied.

He also taught Xue Rengui, even if he is at Xue Rengui's age, he may not be as good as him.

Although Li Shimin will definitely not admit that he is inferior, in fact he still has a clear understanding.

"I hope this kid can bring me some surprises."

Li Shimin's eyes flickered and he whispered softly, he couldn't wait to declare war.

After all, there is no shortage of money and food in the Tang Dynasty now, so naturally Li Shimin will not forget the humiliation of the year.

As for this map of Liaodong, Li Shimin carefully collected it.

There is a lot of relief on the face, Xiu Ning has done a lot of things in Liaodong.

Lizhou
Before Zhenguan, it was originally the place where Li Xiaochang was stationed, but everything changed after the eldest grandson Anye was exposed by Shu An.

And the person who was sent here by Li Shimin was none other than Samurai Xun, a former minister.

You must know that the samurai Xun is the henchman of the Supreme Emperor. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, although he didn't do anything to these people.

But basically these people are at home with free gifts. After Li Xiaochang's incident happened, the samurai Xun was sent to Lizhou by Li Shimin.

In fact, Li Shimin didn't want to reuse these old officials. After all, at that time, he was still worried that his father would make a comeback.

However, there were not many people who allowed the entire Tang Dynasty to be able to stand alone at that time.

There are not many children born in the aristocratic family, and even the born ones occupy some general official positions.

Otherwise, Li Shimin wouldn't be so angry with the clan annals. None of the members of these aristocratic families had passed the sixth rank.

It was for this reason that in the end Li Shimin could only send out this warrior Xun.

Since the rise of troops from Jinyang, the warrior Xun has always held an important position, and Li Shimin's superior ability is obvious to all.

But the only thing that worries Li Shimin is the loyalty of the warrior Xun.

After arriving in Lizhou, the samurai Xun immediately showed his ability and issued a series of instructions.

Recruit rebels, caress the old and the weak, relieve their lack, and open their heads.

In a short period of time, Lizhou settled down again, and it must be known that it is only half a year now.

However, even the stability of Lizhou still did not make this veteran minister of Conglong happy, but instead had a lot of gloom.

In Lizhou Dudu's Mansion, a middle-aged scribe in his fifties kept sighing.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if you are alright?"

A soft murmur sounded, and the warrior Xun missed Li Yuan a lot.

"Tread, step!"

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came, which made the samurai frowned.

However, when a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper came in, the samurai Xun had some doubts on his face.

Because he is a housekeeper, he is naturally clear, if there is no urgent matter, he will definitely not be in such a hurry.

Could it be that something happened in Lizhou again? The samurai Xun could only think of this.

Fortunately, the samurai Xun didn't have doubts for long, because the housekeeper had already told everything.

"Master, there is a secret decree!"

"What, secret decree!"

There was a trace of seriousness on the complexion of the samurai Xun and he whispered, although he still agrees with the Supreme Emperor more in his heart.

However, the samurai Xun is also not a fool, and he will not resist this new emperor.

After all, Confucianism's loyalty to the emperor and patriotism had a profound influence on the warrior Xun.

It was for this reason that he naturally did not dare to ignore this secret decree.

The samurai Xun's eyes flickered and he took the secret decree from the butler without hesitation.

With just one glance at the warrior Xun, he knew that the secret decree was true and not a fake one. Of course, he was also a little nervous.

Although the samurai Xun accepted the secret decree, he hesitated when he opened it.

After all, he knew that the new emperor was not very friendly to old people like them.

If this letter was to kill him, even the warrior Xun seemed to have no choice but to admit it.

If the new emperor wanted his own life, how could he refuse.

Fortunately, his thoughts were only racing for a while, and the warrior Xun also calmed down, because he knew that if the new emperor wanted to know his life, he would have taken it as early as Chang'an.

Naturally, it would not stay until now. After thinking of this, Samurai Xun finally opened the secret seal.

After reading the content, the samurai Xun first breathed a sigh of relief, and did not expect this to happen.

And it seems that it is still the handwriting of Empress Changsun. After thinking about the cause and effect, the warrior Xun became clear in his heart.

"Maybe it's not such a bad thing."

The warrior Xun looked at Chang'an and thought silently.
