Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 170 Planning Goguryeo

Li Tai could only leave after hearing Li Shimin's words, and then went to the palace.

To be honest, can Li Shimin forcefully order Li Tai to go to Youzhou?sure.

But why, it's really impossible to be the Empress Changsun.

When Li Tai was forced to move out of the East Palace, it was because Li Shimin had just taken control of the government, the Supreme Emperor restrained him inside, and the Eastern Turks threatened him outside.

But now it's different. Now Li Shimin destroyed the Eastern Turks in the north, and the Liao in the Nanping and Lingnan. After several years, Li Yuan's tentacles in the court were basically cut off, and he completely controlled the courtiers.

In the end, because of this rumor, Li Tai was kicked from Chang'an to the bitter cold place of Youzhou, not to mention others, what would Empress Changsun think.

Therefore, it is impossible for Li Tai to be swayed by the rumors this time, and even Xu Jingzong never expected that these rumors would send Li Tai out of Chang'an.

He just wanted to pass this matter to confirm that Li Shimin did not change the prince, and his political speculation was still valuable.

In fact, for Li Tai, it was enough for him to use this rumor to leave Chang'an.

One, I continued to stay in Chang'an, and gradually there was no stage for myself to play.

Second, it will take time for one's own power to grow, at least the platform that one can display will be even bigger if one develops outside.

So I came to find Li Shimin along the way, talked to Li Shimin, and expressed that I wanted to go to the place to do practical things.

Naturally, Li Shimin had no objection to Li Tai going directly to seal him, at most he was a little bit reluctant.

But seeing that Li Tai wanted to go to a bitter cold place like Youzhou, Li Shimin couldn't help hesitating, not because he didn't believe in Li Tai's ability.

When the project of Zheng Guoqu was being renovated, Li Shimin knew that Li Tai's ability to deal with the relationship between different races was not so good, but at least he was able to handle the relationship between the different races and the people of Tang Dynasty. .

After all, with so much money, Li Shimin felt that if he changed to other courtiers, he should be able to handle the relationship with other races well.

However, at the end of thousands of words, the same sentence must be agreed by Empress Changsun. Anyway, Li Shimin himself will definitely not take the blame. If Li Tai wants to go to Youzhou, he will find a way to get Empress Changsun to agree!

Therefore, when Li Tai came to Empress Changsun's bedroom, he finally bit the bullet and made a report.

"Come in." Empress Changsun looked Li Tai up and down, and said, "Today is not the day for you to pay your respects, have you seen the saint?"

"I've seen it!" Hearing this, Li Tai knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said directly, "Mother, I want to go to Youzhou!"

"What did you say, say it again!" Empress Changsun stood up when she heard Li Tai's words!
Empress Changsun was furious, and said, "But the sage asked you to go to Youzhou?!

You stay in your mother's bedroom, I'm going to find you, Aye, to find out.

You haven't reached the crown yet, so there's no reason to let you go to Youzhou just because of a few ridiculous rumors! "

"Mother, Aye didn't say this matter, I mentioned it to Aye myself." Li Tai looked at the eldest grandson empress and said calmly.

"When I am in the royal family, there are so many gossips. As long as I am upright, you will be me and you Aye. I don't understand your hard work over the years. Why should you be afraid, and even flee Chang'an!"

Empress Changsun said to Li Tai, "This world belongs to the Li family after all!"

Li Tai didn't expect Empress Changsun to be so violent.

Obviously, when Li Tai made a slip of the tongue and was forced to leave the East Palace, Empress Changsun felt a lot of guilt in her heart.

Now Li Tai is haunted by rumors and gossips, even Li Tai thinks that he will be crowned before he reaches the crown, and Li Tai, a silly boy, is planning to go to Youzhou, a place of bitter cold, how can Empress Changsun feel at ease?
You must know that in the eyes of Empress Changsun, the land of Youzhou is not only a place of bitter cold, but also a place where dragons and snakes are mixed. It is impossible to say that there are Goguryeo, East Turkic aliens and the like.

After all, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you're going to be banned, but it looks like you're going to exile!

"I really mentioned it myself!" Li Tai said to Empress Changsun,
"Back when I uttered wild words in the Hall of Liangyi, because the development of Gaoling had reached its extreme, I intended to develop in another place.

At least I can't let Gaoling continue to develop at a high speed, so I plan to visit the Kanto region. "

"Even so, the fertile land in the Kanto region is thousands of miles away, so why go to the bitterly cold place in Youzhou!" Empress Changsun said angrily, "It's on the border, and the Zongdong Turks have been destroyed, but there is also Goguryeo by your side. You are in Youzhou, how can I Can sleep soundly!"

Li Tai said to Empress Changsun:

"Mother, don't worry, the child doesn't intend to be a general who marches and fights, let alone going to the frontier, so there is no danger.

Besides, my Tang Dynasty has the prestige of sweeping the Turks, who would dare to attack me.

More importantly, I made the original grass seeding plan.

Now it has been tried in Youzhou, and I need to make local adjustments in the future to make this plan better.

It is my wish to be able to serve the country and the people in this way. "

"You father and son will press me with state affairs!" Empress Changsun heard Li Tai's words and said,

"I don't believe it. I have nearly a thousand courtiers in the Tang Dynasty, so there is no one who can serve the country like you!"

Hearing what Empress Changsun said, Li Tai couldn't help saying,

"Mother, my child's ambition is to hope that the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous and the people will be safe, that every family will have food and everyone will have clothing.

When I went to Youzhou, I wanted to make that bitter cold place prosperous and make Youzhou a shining pearl of my Tang Dynasty! "

"Okay, okay, I can't beat you!" After hearing Li Tai's words, Empress Changsun knew that she couldn't persuade Li Tai.

Looking at Li Tai's appearance, he felt a little proud but also distressed.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Tai stubbornly at herself, and knew that she couldn't hold back this son who had his own opinions since he was a child.

Li Tai has always been the most independent person in the palace. Although he is not extremely intelligent, after all, the troubles Li Tai caused are not like those that a smart person would cause, but he has a tough personality and insists on gritting his teeth. Swallow the bitter fruit one by one.

Now that she is practicing her ambitions, as a mother, although she is very reluctant, she rationally tells Empress Changsun that it is actually a good thing for Li Tai to withdraw from Chang'an and go to remote areas.

I have heard the rumors about Li Chengqian's foot injury, and I can never send someone to stop the rumors.

After all, things like rumors should either be passed on and then be quieted down, or spread around to reveal their feet. It is unrealistic to expect to ban rumors.

Therefore, in the opinion of Empress Changsun, the rumors will only spread for a few days, and then they will naturally die down.

It's just that Empress Changsun didn't expect that at this time, Li Tai wanted to leave Gaoling and go to Youzhou along the way.

Moreover, Empress Changsun knew that Li Tai only told herself more than discussed with herself.

Thinking of this, Empress Changsun said depressedly: "You have had ideas since you were young, and your mother will not stop you.

But you remember that Yueyue sent a letter to Chang'an, if you suffered a loss in Youzhou, mother will ask you, Aye, to help you get justice. "

"Mother, no matter what I say, I am also a first-rank prince. When I get to the place, I should be the one who dominates!" Li Tai laughed.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Tai, as if thinking of something, she smiled and said, "That's right.

Your temperament is not the one who suffers. At the beginning, you had a grudge with Confucianism, and now you want to dig out the roots of Confucianism.

When I really get to the place, I feel that what I need to worry about is that it's really not you, but the powerful local people!

Tell you Ayer, I agree! "

"Huh!" Hearing this, Li Tai looked at Empress Changsun in surprise.

"Don't be surprised, if you can come and 'inform' me, I think it can only be you, Aye!" Empress Changsun said.

"Mother's Empress Shengming!" Li Tai didn't say much, the problems between the parents must be solved by the parents themselves.

After all, if you join in by yourself, not only will you not be able to solve this problem, but it will lead to many new problems.

Coming out of Empress Changsun's palace, Li Tai went to Liangyi Hall where Li Shimin handled government affairs.

No matter how you say it, since Empress Changsun agreed to this matter, Li Shimin must be the first to know about it.

While Li Tai waited in the side hall for a while, Li Shimin came over again.

After all, this matter has not been discussed yet, so it is inconvenient to discuss it directly in the court.

Li Shimin looked at Li Tai's head held high, and understood that Empress Changsun had passed Li Tai's test, so he said calmly:

"Your mother asked you to go to Youzhou!"

"Well, Qingque begged mother for a long time, and mother agreed with Qingque's ambition!" Li Tai replied to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin said: "Now that the decision has been made, I also want to know why you are obsessed with Youzhou.

If you can, Xishu, Yuhang, and even Luoyang can be your lands, why did you choose Youzhou! "

"If Aye wants to know, Qingque will naturally know everything and say everything!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Tai said seriously,

"First of all, as I said to Aye before, whether it is the grass planting plan or the fishing plan, these plans are settled in Youzhou.

If you don't go and see for yourself, there is no guarantee that these plans will be successfully implemented! "

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I knew you would say that, but it wasn't enough.

Entrust this plan to other people, even if it is two points short, two points slower, can't you afford to wait with your personality? ! "

Li Tai was stunned when he heard Li Shimin's words, but he didn't expect that he was so stable in Li Shimin's impression.

In fact, Li Tai felt that he was a bit eager for quick success, but scientific research and agricultural planting matters, it is really not a matter of quick success and instant benefit that can be achieved, it is just that he understands this.

Li Tai rubbed his nose, but continued: "Actually, it's for Goguryeo, I want to help Datang defeat Goguryeo!"

"Will you take down Goguryeo..." Li Shimin couldn't help but fell silent when he heard Li Tai's words, looked at Li Taidao,
"I think so too, tell me, what do you think!"

"My idea is that I hope to do business with Goguryeo!" Li Tai said directly to Li Shimin.

"Trade?" Li Shimin squinted his eyes when he heard Li Tai's words.

"Hmm!" Li Tai nodded and said, "After I wanted to open up business, I used Guan Zhong's strategy to buy a large number of Goguryeo's products other than grain, so that the people of Goguryeo would forget to farm for profit.

Even when necessary, we sold grain to Goguryeo at a low price, so that Goguryeo completely abandoned farming.

Until the day you prepare to send troops to Goguryeo, and even before that, you can spread rumors to them that the Tang Dynasty has suffered a disaster, and you need to collect another grain from Goguryeo at a high price to buy up all the grain in Goguryeo.

And when the time comes, as long as Goguryeo has no food for one year, when attacking Goguryeo, it will increase the odds of winning! "

Li Shimin couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat when he heard Li Tai's plan. He had to say that Li Tai is too ruthless as long as he wants to seek the country with all his heart!

But this plan is very executable. Will Goguryeo really be able to fight?
Li Shimin also understands that his son is definitely top-notch in terms of the overall situation, and he has the ability to draw salary from the bottom of his plan.

The most important thing is that Li Taizhen is not talking about it, but can break down a seemingly impossible plan into a step-by-step executable plan.

At the same time, Li Tai's layout is not the kind of planning that is eager for quick success, but directly uses time to plan and uses people's hearts to plan.

One or two people can resist greed, but how many people in a country can resist this plan directed at people's hearts for a long time.

"This plan seems simple, but I'm afraid it will take a long time!" Li Shimin sighed.

"It will take a long time, so there will be no flaws!" Li Tai said calmly, "It's just that this is just a general plan.

To perfect this plan, I think we need to make a lot of preparations. The first point is to open a commercial port with Koguryo.

As for the second point, a huge amount of money is needed to complete this plan, can Aye grant me the right to trade salt and iron with other races.

If it is possible, it would be even better if the Bohai Marine Division cooperates with me in carrying out this plan! "

"It's really troublesome, can't you calm down a little..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help sighing, thought for a while and said:
"The salt is fine, what do you want iron for? Sell it to foreigners?"

"That's not true, it's that iron tools are needed for agricultural reclamation!" Li Tai took it for granted,
"Iron farm tools are much more efficient in cultivating land than wooden ones, but they used to be dispatched to Shaofu supervisors.

I'm not going to Youzhou now, it's impossible to come to Chang'an to dispatch again! "

Li Shimin nodded when he heard Li Tai's words, but he didn't correct him even in Youzhou, but said:

"Write down your thoughts, and then return to Gaoling and wait for the news. Don't cause trouble until Zheng Baiqu is repaired!"

"Oh!" Li Tai closed his mouth resolutely when he heard Li Shimin's cautious advice.

Then, I honestly wrote a report of about [-] words here. Because the first copy was scribbled and changed, I copied it again after writing it, thought about it, and then wrote on it. The rise of "Ping Liaodong".

Isn’t it just writing a PPT for fooling around? You may encounter many problems in the process of actual operation, but there is no difficulty in writing documents to fool people. Anyway, planning by yourself will definitely increase the probability of flattening Goguryeo. As for the increase, how much? God only knows.
