I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 174 The Champion of the Tang Dynasty

As Wang De finished reading.

There was a commotion in the court hall.

"General Li, you are truly the champion of the Tang Dynasty."

"In just three months, the crisis in Youzhou was completely resolved."

"Now that the rebels have been turned from offense to defense by General Lee, the rebels are no longer a worry."

"Looking at the current situation of General Li's advance, the rebellious Xue Yantuo tribe can be completely suppressed within four months at most."

"good."

"Let's use the destruction of Xue Yantuo's three tribes in exchange for the respect of the Tang Dynasty from all the countries in the world. Let's see if they dare to make mistakes."

"..."

After hearing the battle report, the civil and military officials in the entire court started talking excitedly.

for them.

This is also a great thing to be happy about.

But that's it.

A middle-aged minister standing among the civil servants stood up with a serious expression.

In order to admonish the doctor Kong Xian.

There is only one person with this surname in this court.

That is the descendant of the founder of Confucianism. Today's Yanshenggong is a first-rank official. Although he has no real power, he leads Confucianism and has a very high status.

of course.

This is what it looks like to an outsider.

If in Li Zheng's opinion.

I thought it was just a joke.

The Confucian way is to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and to put loyalty first.

But it has been passed down through the ages.

Every time the dynasty changes, there is no Yanshenggong who is truly loyal to the dynasty, and there is no Yanshenggong who is loyal to the country.

World repair surrender table,

This has such allusions in later generations.

Confucianism teaches others to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and to put loyalty first, but they encourage others to do the same. However, as representatives of Confucianism, they have no so-called loyalty at all.

It's also very funny.

People of this era may not understand yet.

But Li Zheng, who came from a later generation, naturally looked down on him in his heart.

"What's the message for Kong Aiqing?"

Looking at Kong Xian standing up, Li Shimin asked calmly.

"Start your Majesty."

"We, the Tang Dynasty, are the Great Kingdom of Heaven. When dealing with vassal states and small nations and tribes, we must still demonstrate the power of Heaven and the magnanimity of the Great Kingdom."

"I think so."

"When our army of the Tang Dynasty suppresses the rebellious tribes, we must also show our grace of the Tang Dynasty and make them surrender to the Tang Dynasty forever."

Kong Xian looked serious and spoke righteously.

Hear this.

Most of the people in the civil and military circles of the dynasty looked at Kong Xian in a daze, as if they were looking at a fool, especially the military officials, who felt very ridiculous when they heard this.

This is a self-righteous person who commands on paper.

Completely obsessed with the identity of the so-called Yan Shenggong.

"We understand, please step back."

Li Shimin waved his hand at Kong Xian, too lazy to curse or say anything more.

The reason why the imperial court raised Yan Shenggong was to lead Confucianism and lead the trend. His role was also the same. In addition, Li Shimin was incompetent in writing and martial arts. He was like a mirror in his heart.

Seeing that his advice seemed to have attracted Li Shimin's attention, Kong Xian also retreated with satisfaction.

"The battle report of King Wu must have been heard by all your beloved ministers."

"Millions of people in Youzhou have suffered."

"The rebels are hateful and the people are innocent."

"We only ask for one thing: to heal the impact of the war as soon as possible."

"Changsun Wuji, because of this battle in Youzhou, many officials were killed and injured. Your Ministry of Civil Affairs selects good talents to serve in Youzhou."

"Gao Shilian, the Ministry of Household Affairs immediately organized money and food to appease the people of Youzhou."

Li Shimin immediately issued an order and looked directly at the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Hubu.

"I accept the decree."

Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian immediately came out to take orders. "Of course, the march of the enemy troops and their supplies cannot stop now."

"We must not let the army run out of food."

Li Shimin warned Gao Shilian again.

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"It is best if this war can be decided within four months. Otherwise, the army will be deployed and the supplies will be needed, as well as the supplies needed to pacify the millions of people in Youzhou, which will strain the national treasury."

"And there is still a long time before the tax collection next autumn. If we don't use it urgently, if Datang encounters something, it will be difficult."

Gao Shilian respectfully began to play.

"We will pass an order to Li Zheng and ask him to put down Xue Yantuo's rebellion as soon as possible."

Li Shimin nodded.

With the war, the money and food in the treasury seemed to be burning. In the huge Tang Empire, there were still countless people who did not have enough to eat, lacked warmth, and some died of starvation or freezing. These were all matters of national importance.

And the world is changeable.

Various disasters can come at any time, such as earthquakes, floods, and droughts, which all affect the country.

Therefore, no matter what happens, these grains and money must be left in the national treasury to prepare for disasters and famines.

"Li Zheng has made great achievements again."

"As for the reward, we will recall him back to Chang'an after he has completely put down Xue Yantuo's rebellion."

Li Shimin said with a smile.

"His Majesty."

"General Li is a general who guards Youzhou. He just returned to Chang'an to rest in peace a few months ago. According to the usual practice, he will rest in peace until at least next year."

Wei Zheng, the admonishing doctor, came out and said.

"We gave Li Zheng two months of rest at the beginning, but he only took less than a month's rest. Once the rebellion is decided, letting him rest is what we gave him and compensated him. This is also in line with the rules."

Li Shimin smiled.

"I understand."

Wei Zheng said no more.

"correct."

"How long will it take for the prince to return?"

Li Shimin regained his composure and looked at Tang Jian, the Minister of Civil Affairs.

"Return to Your Majesty."

"The prince has been touring Yangzhou for more than three months now. Within two months at most, the prince should be on his way back."

Tang Jian replied immediately.

"Two more months?"

Li Shimin had a look of reluctance on his face.

Li Shimin was not used to it since his own cadre had been patrolling for so long.

And in the main hall.

All civil and military officials are very used to it.

They knew how favored the current emperor was to the prince.

and.

Not only Li Shimin was looking forward to Li Chengqian's return, but the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were also looking forward to it.

At least when Li Chengqian was around, if Li Shimin got angry, there was someone who could hold him back. Li Chengqian's absence made the civil and military officials in the court even more anxious for fear of offending Li Shimin.

The power of the emperor and the anger of the emperor are vividly reflected in Li Shimin.

"Fourth."

Li Shimin looked at Wei King Li Tai.

"Father."

Li Tai stood up and bowed.

"How are King Lujiang these days? Have you ever corrected yourself and admitted your mistakes?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Back to my father, my twelfth uncle is confined in the mansion, and my sons and ministers go to visit. There have been great changes."

Li Tai replied respectfully.

"Keep an eye on him for us."

"Whenever we completely repent, we can forgive him."

"Tell him, if he dares to do it again, we will destroy him."
