Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Seeing Hou Junji's sore face, Li Shimin almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Hahaha, let you Hou Junji always put on a straight face, what's the matter, if you can pretend in front of me, why don't you try putting yourself on airs in front of my virtuous brother?

He knew Zhang Nuo's temper, and he really pissed off that guy, let alone hacking you to death with a knife, ordinary people can't stand three punches and two kicks.

After all, not to mention the bad-tempered, small-minded, and vengeful man, the key is the high military value, which is so high that no one in Datang can hold it.

So, Li Shimin just wanted to see what it would be like for a person who had completed half of the transformation in front of him to be trained under Zhang Nuo for a year or so.

Come to think of it, I'm really looking forward to it!

Chapter 521 Disappointing Hou Junji

Although Tubo has not yet sent them intelligence as human favors, as a sound country, the intelligence agency itself has been operating at full capacity and playing a role.

Although there was nothing directly lurking around the opponent's king, through a comprehensive analysis of various information, Datang could still draw an important conclusion, that is, these surrounding countries and forces planned to jointly attack Tang.

If it was before, Li Shimin would probably not be able to sleep at this moment, and would start counting food and grass, military strength, planning marching routes, and other tasks with his fingers.

But the current him is instead leisurely chatting with Hou Junji in the palace.

The most surprising thing was that even though he had already called the great general Hou Junji over, after chatting for a while, he stopped talking about the Turks at all.

It seems that in Li Shimin's eyes, whether Turkic or Tubo, it is not a problem at all, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

Therefore, Li Shimin dragged Hou Junji to talk about Lantian City and Koryo, but he didn't talk about the war.

In the end, Hou Junji couldn't figure it out, so he took the initiative to ask,

"Your Majesty, don't you worry about the Turkic affairs? My minister can share your worries!"

Li Shimin was taken aback by Hou Junji's sudden words, but turned around and said with a smile,

"Hou Junji, oh Hou Junji, you really can't help it!"

Hou Junji was a little embarrassed by Li Shimin's smile, but he didn't evade. Instead, he nodded and said calmly,

"My minister is a general, and what I yearn for is naturally the battlefield, but I don't want to miss any battle!"

Li Shimin nodded. There is really nothing to hide about this. If a military general is not interested in war, then he is useless, so there is really nothing to say about Hou Junji.

"Hou Junji, you don't understand what I mean. The so-called war, especially the Turkic and Tubo wars against us in the Tang Dynasty, is no longer a matter of one soldier and one general. It is more about a competition of national strength and military strength. !"

"And it just so happens that I now have brother Zhang Nuo to help me, and the national power of the Tang Dynasty has been booming in the past year, and now the warehouse is full of food and the army is strong!"

"Although it is still difficult to destroy the Turks in one fell swoop for the time being, I think it is no problem to block these countries, so I never worry about these!"

"The King of Qin also told me that by next year, the good things he has at hand will be gradually produced, so there is no need to be afraid, and he can destroy whoever he wants."

Hou Junji sighed silently when he heard Li Shimin's domineering declaration.

He finally understood that at the level of a country, the most important thing is not one or two generals who can lead an army in battle, but talents like His Royal Highness King Qin who can truly enhance a country's national strength.

Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji's face was not very good-looking, smiled and shook his head slightly, this Hou Junji is just too high-spirited and cares too much about gains and losses. He thought that he had made enough progress in the past six months, but it seems that his kung fu has not yet arrived. .

"Hou Junji, if you have time, you can take a walk around the city of Chang'an and see how energetic the people of Tang Dynasty are today!"

Hou Junji was taken aback by the words, what do you mean by looking at Datang's spirit, what's wrong?

Li Shimin sighed deeply, still can't do it, military generals are military generals, even if Hou Junji is already a kind of cultured general among generals, but his cultural background and vision are not enough, so he can only see part of things when he looks at things .

"You can see when you walk in Chang'an City, no matter which country I look at, the people of the Tang Dynasty always hold their chests up and look superior! Even if there is a waiter here, and the nobles of other countries are opposite, this is also true. It won't change, you know why?"

Hou Junji shook his head in a daze, he was really a little confused at the moment, why did he, a general leading troops in battle, know these things?

Li Shimin was really speechless. I'm afraid Hou Junji is abolished. Why is he so slow to deal with these government affairs and people's livelihood issues?

You must know that Li Shimin is very clear that Hou Junji's biggest idea at the moment is to get a Dangdang Minister of the Ministry of War, but the Minister of the Ministry of War is not joking, he is one of the six big bosses, he can't sit in that seat if he only knows how to fight .

At this moment, Li Shimin's original interest in talking was gone!

As for the city of Pyongyang thousands of kilometers away, Zhang Nuo was actually chatting with the people of Chang'an at this time, but the person he was chatting with was Ma Zhou.

The very beginning of the chat was actually a question from Ma Zhou,

"Your Highness obviously has no interest in authority, and the court is even more evasive, so why do you continue to make meritorious deeds? Your Highness is already an extremely powerful minister!"

Zhang Nuo leaned on the seat, glanced at Ma Zhou, and said angrily,

"Actually, you want to say that I've already accomplished so much here, why are you still working so hard?"

Ma Zhou chuckled, but he didn't expressly object, obviously that's what he meant.

Zhang Nuo didn't care, and took a sip of tea slowly. Ma Zhou was originally from a poor family. He was under his command when he first entered the official position. Later, he was promoted by him to be the chief minister of Qin Wangfu, which is equivalent to being bound to him. together.

It is precisely because of this that Ma Zhou needs to find out what Zhang Nuo thinks. He is now equivalent to the eldest grandson Wuji back then, and has become Zhang Nuo's closest advisor. The ship capsized just like that.

"Don't think about it. As for me, I have no intention of rebelling, and I really don't like those things in the court. In fact, I don't want to fight a war. After all, you also know that my credit is really enough!"

"Well, I actually want to give shelter to those simple people of the Tang Dynasty, so that they don't have to suffer from being displaced, so that they can support themselves in old age, earn income from work, and live a straight life!"

If Ma Zhou was still in his teens, his blood would be boiling with excitement, but now he has already been beaten by the society and knows the dangers of the human heart.

After careful consideration, Ma Zhou smiled and nodded,

"Your Highness understands what His Highness thinks. For His Highness, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, as long as the Tang Dynasty can do well, and the people of the Tang Dynasty can do well, that's fine!"

These words were a bit outrageous, but Zhang Nuo nodded his head as a matter of course, that's right, he dared to admit these words even in front of Lao Li.
