The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 894 The Enlightened Kong Yingda (Part [-])
Although Li Tai has now ascended the throne as emperor, Li Tai knows that the world is not really under his control.There are still many opposing forces lurking in the dark.

So Li Tai wants to give these hidden forces a chance, a chance to make them feel that they can turn from darkness to light.Even an opportunity to make them feel that they can replace it.

And what kind of opportunity can make them feel that they have the certainty of victory?That is the resurgence of the Tang Dynasty.

……

"Show the emperor, Liu Rengui, the shepherd of Youzhou Prefecture, has received news that many Youzhou caravans have been robbed by pirates at sea recently."

"These pirates not only rob goods, but also often kill and sink ships. Therefore, Liu Rengui, the shepherd of Youzhou Prefecture, implores the emperor to send troops to suppress the bandits." Xu Mao said openly to Li Tai.

"This pirate infestation matter, let him go to the governor of Youzhou to send troops to fight against it, and it will be over. Are you still planning to let Zhen Yu drive himself to conquer it?" Li Tai said.

"My majesty, the governor of Youzhou has sent people to investigate secretly. The final result is that these pirates are all from the Wa country. And it is very likely that these Japanese pirates are the army of the Wa country."

"Because of the continuous natural disasters in the Wa country in the past few years, it is difficult for the people to even have food and clothing. Therefore, the Wa country thought of a way to go to sea to rob. To solve the shortage of supplies in the Wa country." Xu Mao said openly.

"A tiny country dares to be so arrogant. Does he really think that there is nothing I can do about him across the vast ocean?" Li Tai said angrily.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let King Ping Liao take command of the army and conquer the Japanese kingdom across the sea. It will also prevent them from underestimating me, the Great Tang Heavenly Kingdom." Yu Chigong said to Li Tai.

"Whether it was when the father was in power or when the first emperor was in power, they all personally commanded the troops to conquer the Tang Dynasty. Today, the Wa country provokes the Tang Dynasty, and I should also conquer the emperor." Li Tai said.

"Your Majesty, the two previous emperors had princes to oversee the country. But now the emperor has not appointed a prince, if the emperor's royal conquests, who will supervise the country?" Changsun Wuji said to Li Tai.

"The prince supervising the country is just a formality, but it is not the prince who actually governs the country's decision-making plan. So it's worth noting this false name."

"This time, I'm going to take charge of the royal conquest, and all matters in the court will be entrusted to the left and right servants. The affairs in the army will be taken care of by King Pingliao and the two generals of Nan Ya and Bei Ya." Li Tai said.

"Your Majesty, there have always been military divisions accompanying the emperor's personal expeditions. The marshal is in charge of the commander-in-chief of the three armies. Now the emperor's generals and marshals are staying in Chang'an City."

"It's not likely that the emperor himself is going to be in command of the military counselor, right?" Yu Chigong asked Li Tai.

After all, there is no precedent for the emperor to be in command, so I'm afraid it doesn't suit you.That's why Yu Chigong asked.

"Fan Lihua is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Xue Dingshan is the vanguard officer of Zhengyin in the front, and Xu Liang is the sacrificial wine for the military division of the three armies. I command 60 troops to conquer the Japanese country." Li Tai said.

Hearing what Li Tai said, Cheng Yaojin said with a smile: "The emperor's arrangement is good, we old fellows really can't stand up. These young people are the hope of Datang."

I don't know Cheng Yaojin thinks that Li Tai's arrangement is very reasonable, even Xu Maogong, Changsun Wuji and others think this is the most reasonable arrangement.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Li Tai continued: "The Ministry of War issued an order to order Luo Song, the governor of Youzhou, to prepare an army of 20. Commander Wu Yuanzhong of the navy to prepare a navy of [-] and some iron-clad warships, and go out with me."

"Order the local Zhechong Prefectures to dispatch 20 elites and hand them over to Marshal Fan Lihua. Chang Sun Chong will lead 5 elites to be responsible for logistics supplies."

"I personally lead the Iron Guards to sit in the middle army, and choose an auspicious day to kill three animals and five animals to sacrifice the flag. I want to personally praise the sea and conquer the Japanese country."

……

In fact, the so-called pirates rob merchant ships, and the Japanese country suffers from natural disasters every year.These are just an excuse, an excuse for Li Tai to exterminate this despicable nation.

And Li Tai also planned to take advantage of his opportunity to cross the sea to conquer the east, and let those lurking opposition forces feel that it was an opportunity to take advantage of.

So that night, Li Tai called Changsun Wuji, Xu Maogong, Xue Rengui, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, and Kong Yingda, who had been against Li Tai, all to the Ganlu Hall.

Why did Li Tai choose to live in Taiji Palace instead of Daming Palace after he ascended the throne?Because Li Tai gave it to Li Shimin and Li Zhi.

Although Li Shimin and Li Zhi declared that they had controlled Bintian, they did not really leave the world.And Li Tai naturally couldn't let them be wronged, so he left the Daming Palace to the father and son.

"I called you to the Ganlu Palace today because I have an important matter to explain. Although I have already ascended the throne as the emperor, there are still countless voices of opposition in the world."

"But they are forced by my strong military power, and they dare not stand up to be my enemy blatantly. But this does not mean that they have no other ideas."

"As long as they exist for a day, the world of Tang Dynasty will not last long. So I want to take this opportunity to eradicate all these evildoers." Li Tai said to everyone.

"Your majesty, although my minister Kong Yingda has always felt that the emperor is a person who does not respect morality. But the achievements made by the emperor have severely slapped me in the face."

"Even a pedantic person like Chen knows how to be flexible, and understands that the emperor is the wise king of the world. Is there anyone in the world who is more pedantic than Chen?" Kong Yingda asked Li Tai.

This Kong Yingda should have passed away a few years ago.Maybe it's because of Lee Tae's butterfly effect.Or it was because of the improvement of Tang's medical skills that this old rotten scholar lived to be in his eighties.

But at this time, Kong Yingda was no longer as pedantic as before.Because when muskets, red cannons, and grenades were placed in front of Kong Yingda.

Kong Yingda finally understood that the real development of a society does not depend on the principles in books.Instead, relying on the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people, relying on strong military strength.

That's why Kong Yingda supported Li Tai's ascension to the throne, and personally announced to the world that Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Li Zhi passed on Li Tai's edict.

"Master Kong, today I called Master Kong because there is something I need Master Kong to do. It's just that I feel a little wronged by Master Kong. I wonder if Master Kong is willing?" Li Tai said to Kong Yingda.

"Your Majesty, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it without hesitation. Even if this old bone is put on, I will never complain." Kong Yingda said.

"I am going to let Master Kong oppose me, and even let the world know that Master Kong thinks that I am a person who does not respect etiquette and is not worthy of being the master of the world. I wish I could be pulled from the throne for a while." Li Tai looked at Kong Yingda said.

Hearing Li Tai's words, Kong Yingda couldn't help being taken aback.But he immediately reacted, and said to Li Tai: "Your Majesty, I understand what your Majesty's intention is."

"However, I feel that I am not suitable for this job. However, I can recommend someone to be the emperor's internal support."
