The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Li Chengyi was listening at the side, confused. If he was asked to give advice, it would be better to continue waving the sword in his hand. If someone opposes you, just kill them. When the tip of your sword points to the people around you, if everyone kneels down obediently, then we have basically achieved our wish. There is no need to play tricks with them. How many brain cells will this kill? It is far better to take action.

Li Xiang has said this method many times. It is only a temporary solution. When someone kneels down to you, do you know what they are thinking? They are probably still thinking about how to pull you down from the altar. So we have to solve this problem fundamentally.

Moreover, your military strength cannot always be so strong. When you are a little slack, others may develop. Fighting violence with violence is only useful sometimes. Most of the time, you have to think about how to cut off the source of the problem. Li Chengyi lacks this, so he can only be a general and cannot stand on his own.

Of course, among the royal family members, if you can stand on your own, maybe it is time for you to retire. The court does need some royal generals to cover up the situation and let everyone see clearly that our Li royal family is not just reaping the benefits behind the scenes, but the good men within our royal family are also making contributions to the empire on the battlefield.

But this is only applicable to you being a general. If you are in charge of the army on horseback and the people on foot, and you can handle all kinds of issues, then this matter is hard to say. Even if Li Xiang comes to protect you, Li Shimin will definitely transfer Li Chengyi back and arrange an idle position for him in Chang'an City. You will have to stay there honestly for the rest of your life.

Li Shimin will never forget his family origin. His father Li Yuan was also one of the royal relatives. At that time, he was guarding Jinyang for Emperor Yang of Sui and had a certain amount of military force. That's why they had the capital to start their own business. Now Li Shimin will never let other royal relatives have this opportunity. As long as he notices that you have such a sign, even if you have no intention of rebelling, you will have to be completely wiped out.

Because Li Chengyi understood this point, he never developed in this direction. When Li Xiang and others were discussing it, this guy just bowed and went out to inspect with his people. You guys do the brainwork stuff, I like to do hands-on work.

Looking at Li Chengyi's leaving back, Li Xiang knew what the other party was thinking. He knew that he had flaws, but he had not made any changes. This kid must have received guidance from an expert. Otherwise, it would easily arouse the suspicion of the court, and then he would not even have the opportunity to lead troops. He would just be placed in an idle government office in Chang'an City and wait to spend the rest of his life there.

Look at Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, who can't handle things on their own? Are they really old now? But they get sick all the time. Whether they are really sick or fake, I'm afraid only they themselves know. Anyway, every time they get sick, Li Shimin should be the happiest.

How capable are these old buddies who followed him to conquer the world? Li Shimin knew it very well. Although he had almost eliminated their power in recent years, Li Shimin still couldn't sleep. Who of these people didn't start from scratch? They could conquer the world with just a few people, so they had to be on guard.

These people understood Li Shimin's thoughts, so they often did some shocking things in Chang'an City. They were unreasonable. Even those who were reasonable would not go out of the house, especially some old brothers on the battlefield. Even if you starved to death in the street, I would never help you, for fear that the emperor would say that we were buying people's hearts.

Although doing so would disappoint his former brothers and they would call him heartless, it could save the lives of the entire family. Take Cheng Yaojin's personal soldiers for example, most of them were transferred to Li Xiang's side, which was considered good luck. They also gradually became Li Xiang's confidants and were able to continue to stay in the army.

But the subordinates of other generals were not so lucky. As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers. When your general was still in power, you did have jobs in the army. But when your general was unemployed in Chang'an City, do you think this job would still be in your hands?
Li Xiang also knew that this was not a good idea, but then again, this was also a way to stabilize the court. It had been done this way throughout the dynasties. If you let these people retain military power, not only would Li Shimin be unable to sleep, but even Li Xiang, a time traveler, would be a little scared in his heart. Who knows if these people would put on yellow robes after drinking. If a rebellion broke out at that time, not only would the foundation of the Tang Dynasty be unstable, but many ordinary people would also die.

So Li Shimin would point out these old generals from time to time, and Li Xiang would never stop him. As for the people developed under Li Xiang, he had nothing to worry about. There were a large number of system soldiers around each of them. If you had any conspiracy, you would definitely not be able to hide it from these system soldiers.

Even though they usually listen to you and will never refuse if you want to bribe them, in their hearts, Li Xiang is always the closest to them. Fortunately, these generals only made minor mistakes and did not intend to rebel. If they really had such thoughts, they would probably lose their lives in their sleep.

Li Xiang would never make their rebellion public. After all, this would cause ideological turmoil in society. He simply spread the news that they died of illness. This would be considered acceptable. After all, no one in society knows whether you guys are sick or not. If I want you to get sick, you will get sick. When you betray the Tang Dynasty, the disease will come.

Thinking about these things, Li Xiang was also sighing. After all, he thought he was an upright person, but if he wanted to become a qualified emperor, he had to do these things. Although they were discussing vigorously now, when he really ascended the throne, he would probably have to take away the power in the hands of these people and then train a group of new people. This is called getting rid of the old and bringing in the new... (End of this chapter)
