Datang first village

When Li Xiaogong came back, he didn't even enter Chang'an City, so he came directly to see Li Yuanxing.

He is different from Li Daozong, Li Daozong is still young, and he can't tell the difference between the seriousness and the depth.Moreover, Li Daozong had never dealt with Li Yuanxing.Li Xiaogong was different, he could feel how ambitious this seemingly casual His Royal Highness Qin Wang was.

Li Daozong's bloodbath in Liangzhou can be said to uproot the power of Changle King Li Youliang, killing more than a hundred people and imprisoning more than a thousand people.But for such a big event, the entire Chang'an City did not splash a little.

On the contrary, Li Youliang was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and seven or eight members of the Li family who had befriended him were also arrested.

Li Xiaogong couldn't understand why, so he had to come to see Li Yuanxing first, otherwise he would not be safe when he returned home.

"Cousin Xiaogong came from afar to work hard!" Li Yuanxing saw Li Xiaogong get up, and quickly reached out to support him.

"The humble general will see His Highness the King of Qin!" Li Xiaogong still insisted on saluting, but was pulled to sit down by Li Yuanxing: "We are not polite, there are some things that are simple and straightforward, and it is not too late to be polite!"

Li Xiaogong no longer insisted on saluting: "Your Highness, please speak!"

Li Yuanxing gave Bai Erwa a wink, and Bai Erwa immediately went out to guard. Naturally, there would be no idlers around here.

"Let's talk about the war first. The Turks won once, but the fight was unsatisfactory. All five of your cavalry were empty, and the real strategic goal was not achieved. The king originally wanted to destroy at least half of the Turks' combat power. Now it seems that only The overlord is very happy that part of Jieli Khan has been eliminated, but this king is not even interested in seeing Jieli."

After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, Li Xiaogong immediately understood.

"Huihe is taking the opportunity to rise!"

"Let Huihe rise, they need at least five years. After five years, our Tang Dynasty will clear the grassland with our strength. So right now, we need a few allies. Shiwei, Mohe, and Khitan, although they are not popular, but because of them It’s not a climate, so it’s easier to subdue it!”

Li Yuanxing's words made Li Xiaogong nod deeply!

Li Yuanxing personally poured a cup of tea for Li Xiaogong: "Brother Xiaogong, is there any hatred between the Li family in Longxi and my Li family?"

Li Xiaogong shook his head.

"Longxi's Li family thought that our Li family's royal family insisted on joining them. In fact, they believed that our Li's royal family's ancestors were just shabby households!"

After Li Yuanxing said this, Li Xiaogong stood up immediately.

"Are my words terrible?" The smile on Li Yuanxing's face was cold, and Li Xiaogong's heart was even colder.

"Now, our Li family belongs to the royal family. Whether it is noble or not, the world is not qualified to comment on what is in our ancestors. Besides, our Li family and the Longxi Li family are not from the same root. They despise us, but it does not mean that they will ignore us. The fact of the royal family is just to put up a face!"

Li Yuanxing was the only one who dared to say these words.

After Li Xiaogong let out a long breath, he nodded vigorously. "Seven families, the Li family in Longxi is the weakest!"

"Benefits, tie them with interests!" Li Yuanxing's tone was very firm.

Li Xiaogong nodded vigorously again: "In the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, many nobles had only a glamorous appearance. Your Highness's big wedding, the dowry given by the Seventh Family also made them cruel!"

"I just realized that this is the sincerity of the family."

Li Xiaogong didn't bring up the dowry issue again, but asked: "It is said that the Wang family in Taiyuan dare not do the coal business exclusively. If His Highness can come up with another one, the Li family in Longxi must give in. Even if the family No matter how tough the elders are, they will not be able to stand up to countless clansmen!"

Snapped!

Li Yuanxing patted the table: "Okay, the Li family in Longxi will be handled by this king. Next, there will be another trouble!"

"Your Highness, please tell me!" Li Xiaogong suddenly found out that Li Yuanxing seemed to have calculated everything, not to mention the Seventh Family, maybe the entire gentry of the Tang Dynasty was under Li Yuanxing's control.Even, there are other forces.

"Illinois, Shazhou! Where can I garrison troops?"

When it comes to the strategic level, the current Li Xiaogong never dared to speak casually in front of Li Yuanxing.

In the Turkic battle, even Li Jing had to give up three points in terms of strategy. The strategy of sheep cannibalism can be said to have raised the height of national strategy to the extreme.

But when it comes to the specific art of war and tactics, Li Xiaogong still has strong confidence.

"What does Your Highness want? Someone can make a choice!"

"Stable the road to the west, and ensure that the merchants of Datang can trade in Xizhou. Before arriving in Xizhou, there will be no obstacles!" Li Yuanxing said, but Li Xiaogong did not interrupt.If it was just such a small request, Li Xiaogong believed that His Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty would not need to talk to him so solemnly.

Li Yuanxing was thinking about the strategy he had drawn up a long time ago, and he was also imagining the map in his mind.

"Control, suppress, restrain, and weaken the Western Turks!" Li Yuanxing said the second strategic goal, and after a pause, he said: "The most important thing is to prepare for the future subjugation of Gaochang and Yiwu. Although they are two small gangs , but occupies a very important position!"

Li Xiaogong nodded, the main road of the Silk Road, Gaochang!

"The last point is that Gaochang must not be allowed to form an alliance with Western Turks. Once they form an alliance, our caravan's income will be reduced by at least [-]%." Li Yuanxing turned his head and looked at Li Xiaogong: "Twenty percent means dozens or even millions. ,At least!"

"I can't answer right now." Li Xiaogong felt some pressure.

This is not just a question of stationing troops there, the first thing to consider is the number of troops.It is far away from Chang'an, and supply is a big problem.Moreover, the strength of troops will also be limited, even if it is a military field, how much food can be grown in that kind of place.

This requires a very detailed plan, and Li Xiaogong needs at least ten days, or even longer, to be sure.

Li Yuanxing did not say what he planned to use to win over the Li family in Longxi, nor did he say how to deal with the Western Turks.Moreover, Li Yuanxing has a plan to make it easier for Li Xiaogong to garrison troops.I didn't mention it because I wanted Li Xiaogong to put forth his best effort in the most difficult situation.

Then add your own plan, and you will naturally be foolproof.

"In Li Youliang's case, brother Xiaogong is the presiding judge, let's kill him to establish his prestige. Liangzhou is still controlled by the Li clan!"

After finishing these words, Li Yuanxing personally sent Li Xiaogong out.

Outside Qin Wangzhuang, several kind-faced old monks were meditating. Li Yuanxing sent Li Xiaogong out, but he turned back to the mansion without even looking at those old monks.

The old monks sat without moving, but several young monks stood up.

When Li Yuanxing returned home, the young monk was blocked fifty steps outside the gate of King Qin's Zhuangzhuang, which was a restricted area.Not everyone is qualified to meet His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuanxing didn't care how Cui Yiye would deal with these monks.

Fomen!

Li Yuanxing pressed his temple with one hand, Buddhism is really a little trouble.Li Yuanxing thought he was wrong, and said before that Buddhism has nothing to do.Now that I think about it, this statement is a bit extreme. At least in the history of China, Buddhism has made two contributions.

The first big contribution is that tea, it is indeed Buddhism that promotes tea culture, and plays out the essence.

And the second great contribution was to help the braid dynasty enslave the Han people.

Click, click!

Li Yuanxing suddenly clenched his fists and knuckles, and an inexplicable unhappiness surged up from the bottom of his heart.Li Yuanxing was really unhappy in his heart, with inexplicable hatred.But at this moment, Erwa Bai stepped up behind Li Yuanxing: "Whoever makes His Highness unhappy, Erwa will kill him!"

"Hahaha!" Li Yuanxing laughed.

This is really a contradiction. Confucianism is also a kind of ideological imprisonment for the common people, but it is not slavery.It is a way for the royal family to rule the people. Sometimes the people are too smart and it is definitely a troublesome thing.

But Li Yuanxing absolutely opposed it, treating the people as sheep and enslaving them.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanxing turned around and entered the living room of the conference. It seemed that the debate in the hall had come to an end. Yuan Tiangang was demonstrating the Taoist understanding of tea art with his own ideas. Even if there are other understandings, but at this time it is more appreciation.

Yuan Tiangang used the most common porcelain bowl and silver needles, but what he showed was natural.

At this time Li Yuan had already left the main teahouse, drinking too much tea would be troublesome and dizzy.

Li Yuan paid more attention to appearance than to drinking tea during this trip.

Li Yuanxing sat next to Li Yuan and lowered his voice: "Father, my son is puzzled about something, and I want to hear what Father thinks!"

"Speak!" Li Yuan remained motionless, his eyes fixed on the tea bowl in Yuan Tiangang's hand.

"Father, the foolish people can be taught, and the world is free from the royal family. But my sons and ministers don't understand. When the royal family is strong, the people are also strong, but what about the royal family's weakness?" Li Yuanxing became weaker and weaker: "The strong man perishes when he is at his peak!"

If Li Yuanxing asked this question a few days ago, Li Yuan would ask first whether he answered or not.

At this time, Li Yuan's heart was like still water, and this question happened to be asked in his heart. .

What a theory on the balance of imperial power. The emperors of all dynasties have studied this issue for many years, but none of them is really brilliant.Whether it is the Han, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui.Except for the Han Dynasty, there were two reasons for the country's downfall in each generation, the country was weak, or the emperor was weak.

Although the strong man also had the reason why the last emperor was too weak, but the root cause was the aristocrats and land annexation!

Li Yuan nodded slightly: "What does Wu Lang think?"

"The people need to be strong to make the country strong. How can a flock of sheep fight against a pack of wolves! To protect the imperial power is naturally to keep the people strong, and to promote the unity and dispersal of the people!"

Li Yuan's heart seemed to be grabbed by an iron hand, and his heartbeat almost stopped. If he was in his palace at this time, he would definitely yell out a few times.Without him, Li Yuanxing's words are truly wonderful.

In a few words, Li Yuanxing pointed to the core of the way of imperial power that the emperors of all dynasties wanted to study.Li Yuan patted Li Yuanxing's hand twice heavily: "I will tell you these words when I return to the palace!" (To be continued.)
