Will Ming

Chapter 690 Dugu Ding and Heir Thirteen

Hypocrisy is an expression that people hate, but in politics, hypocrisy is not a derogatory term.When a person is hypocritical enough to move people, then he is a qualified politician.Someone once said that every qualified politician is a great actor. When many qualified politicians gather together, no matter what the occasion is, it will be a feast of performances.

The substitution of tea for wine on the Songbai Tower made everyone present applaud King Yan's frankness.But there is no doubt that after this brief surge of emotion, everyone will understand that King Yan is just showing a gesture, a gesture of humility.

Shang Shu Zuo Pu She Xiao is someone who has always been on the opposite side of King Yan. The reason why such a person can still exist is because King Yan needs such a person to show his tolerance.

King Yan said that Xiao could not be made without Xiao, and no one would really believe this.

There is no wine for this meal in Songbailou, but many people get a little drunk after eating.I am intoxicated by the charm of King Yan's personality, and I am also intoxicated by the charming scenery everywhere in this new era.There are many aspects to this landscape, such as the new look in the officialdom.Of course, this kind of ethos is only based on King Yan's prestige.Such a change would not have been possible without a strong character deterrent.

The most wonderful thing is that King Yan is not the emperor.

But better than the emperor.

No matter how wise and powerful an emperor is, it will be an extremely difficult and difficult process if the court is completely broken and then rebuilt.In such a process, many restrictions will be touched, and the seat of the emperor will be in jeopardy if one is not careful.There are many emperors who have the ability and courage to change the situation in history, but most of them write the ending in a sad and sad way.

King Yan is not an emperor, he has no constraints from the emperor.

He has hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hands, and he is not afraid of destruction.

If he takes the throne and then destroys and rebuilds, the problems he has to face as the emperor will expand infinitely.Just talk about the court situation, if Li Xian tries to change anything after he ascends the throne, then what he will have to face will no longer be the old ministers in Li Yuan's court, but the old ministers who accompanied him to fight the country!

The group of people who will harm their personal interests at that time will not be Xiao and his ilk.But those generals who were born in the Yanyun Army with outstanding military skills, the situation they will face will be more than ten thousand times more complicated than it is now!

And Li Xian is not the emperor now, so he can let go.The heroes in the Yanyun Army have not yet established their own system, and King Yan's reforms will not touch their interests.They are still the black knives in the hands of the King of Yan. Whoever opposes the King of Yan, these countless black knives will mercilessly chop them off.Because King Yan is not yet the emperor, their interests are still closely linked with those of King Yan.

King Yan's refusal to proclaim himself emperor is by no means a hypocritical expression, but an inevitable choice in the current situation, an expression of wisdom.

To change a country, it is not as easy and simple as talking about it with your mouth and thinking about it in your heart.

Now all the heroes in the Yanyun Army do not have their real rights and status, and the rights are still in the hands of Li Xian, the only commander of the Yanyun Army.

And those old ministers of the Tang Dynasty, such as Xiao Peiji, now have no ability or reason to coerce King Yan to stop this change.

This is a wonderful situation, a situation that belongs to Li Xian himself.

And if this kind of change is made after Li Xian proclaims himself emperor, will this situation still occur?

The benefits of having a puppet are not just as simple as just acting.

After having lunch at Songbai Tower, Yan Wang Li Xian personally led a group of officials out of Chang'an City in the heavy rain to inspect the villages and towns outside Chang'an City. Tang people.Li Xian will never be stingy when it is necessary to show his benevolence.

It was already night when we returned to Tiance General's Mansion, Li Xian took a hot bath and went back to his study.On the desk, today's memorial has been neatly placed there, and at the same time there is another person waiting for Li Xian in the imperial study, and it is Xie Yingdeng, the head of the military inspection department.

"The subject has seen the lord."

Seeing Li Xian enter the door, Xie Yingdeng bowed his head and said.

Li Xian nodded, walked slowly to the desk and sat down, and said, "Say, if you don't go to court or palace for a day, what kind of people are there who are ready to move?"

Xie Yingdeng said: "At around noon, Li Yuan entered the imperial study room. He ordered the staff to kill five court ladies who were laughing and playing with Li Chengde in the imperial study room, and stayed in the imperial study room for less than half an hour."

Hearing this sentence, Li Xian's expression didn't change a bit: "This is his right, no one can say anything about discipline his grandson."

"After Li Yuan left, Li Chengde fell to the ground, dripping with sweat."

Xie Yingdeng continued.

"Oh?"

Li Xian was obviously interested in this sentence, and then smiled and said, "The situation Li Yuan is facing now is a bit interesting."

Xie Yingdeng also smiled, and said with the corners of his mouth upturned: "This reminds me of a sentence you said before, my lord. I didn't understand it at the time, but I understand it now... I am not afraid of having a god-like opponent, but I am afraid of choosing stupid teammate."

……

……

In the battle of Dahai Temple, Xia Jun lost more than [-], and Dou Jiande was seriously injured and almost died. The culprit of all this was a pair of brothers with less than [-] cavalry.And the murderer who caused this tragic massacre was drinking in the empty Yanyun army camp at this time, drinking in a strange atmosphere.

Xue Wanjun looked at Xue Wanche, who was covered in injuries, and couldn't help but shook his head and said, "The doctor specifically reminded that if you drink too much alcohol, it will affect your recovery...Can't you bear it?"

Xue Wanche took a sip of wine into his mouth, sighed and said: "Guess... I'm so injured and I'm still drinking wine and eating meat and looking calm, what will the soldiers outside say about me? How do you feel about me?"

Before Xue Wanjun could answer, Xue Wanche said seriously: "I'm afraid they will all say that little General Xue is a real man, a real man!"

Xue Wanjun planned to give him a blank look, but after hearing what Xue Wanche said later, he could only shake his head and smile wryly.

"But how can I say that my whole body hurts so badly that I want to die? There is no pain anywhere, and I can't even fucking sleep! I don't even dare to fart, and the wound burst open It will be painful to death. The cloud is light and the wind is light... the cloud is light and the wind is light!"

"Don't drink... How can I get through the day without drinking? A hero, that's as good as it sounds. This kind of suffering, if it were someone else, I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago."

He sighed and said, "So, I can only continue to drink and pretend that it doesn't matter."

"Who can blame this?"

Xue Wanjun said: "Who told you to work so hard back then, you just rushed for a while, but you dared to rush into the camp of 40 Xia soldiers with those hundreds of people. If you don't die, you are already blessed by heaven!"

"It's not like you don't know what I think!"

Xue Wanche sighed and said, "You and I are not General Xiao Luo."

"General Xiao Luo and King Yan are best friends. They knew each other and fought side by side before King Yan made his fortune. Later, although King Yan occupied Ju Yeze as a bandit and General Luo was an official in Qi County, the two of them The relationship between the two has never been broken. General Xiao Luo saved the King of Yan, and the King of Yan also saved General Xiao Luo... So once General Xiao Luo votes over, he can be named Duke!"

He looked at Xue Wanjun and said, "But what about you and my brother? Although my father helped King Yan once when he was in Liaodong, you and my brothers have no credit, so how could they be reused by King Yan? I did this only for our Xue Wanjun. The family is not eliminated."

Xue Wanjun was startled, and then he also sighed.

Xue Wanche drank the wine in the jug, smiled and said: "Now you know why I insisted on staying with you and bringing 3000 troops here as suspects... We need credit!"

At the same time, the Tang army was in the camp.

Standing in front of the map and thinking, Li Daozong suddenly raised his head, as if he had suddenly realized something.

"No wonder!"

He said something to himself, and then a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Standing beside him, the general wearing a general's armor glanced at him, wondering what kind of mystery the general had realized.This person is of medium build and doesn't look tall and sturdy, his pair of eyes and delicate eyebrows even have a bookish look.But what made people palpitate was the criss-crossing scars on his face, which were densely packed like spider webs, and they were all new scars. The pink flesh was like earthworms crawling on his face one by one, which was disgusting.

He didn't interrupt, just quietly waiting for Li Daozong's essay.

"Nine times out of ten, the Yanyun army camp is empty."

Li Daozong smiled and said: "If there are no accidents, Yuwen Shi and that cunning fox have led their troops back to Dongdu at this time. It's a pity...I never thought that he would be so courageous. At that time, I was afraid that all the troops Dou Jiande sent to raid Xingluocang had already been slaughtered by him, and even the Eastern Capital City had changed hands."

"But the general doesn't seem to be unhappy at all."

Lang Jiang, who was covered with scars, asked.

"Of course I won't be unhappy..."

Li Daozong smiled, looked at the person beside him and asked, "Dugu Ding, do you know why?"

He walked to the map and pointed to the East Capital City, then to Chang'an City and said: "Chang'an is in the hands of the King of Yan, and now the Eastern Capital should be in the hands of the King of Yan. Even if His Majesty is still alive, what's the use? Even if he What's the use of wanting to reset? A sentence that King Yan once said is very reasonable, and I still think of it from time to time.
