Chapter 145 (1/2)
Li Hong, sitting in a chair, shook his upper body, pondered for a moment, and said, ”look at the three brothers. Who is more loyal to me in Datang. When you go to Koryo this time, all three of them will look for you. When you do that, you can think about it and remember which of them is the most loyal. As long as the three kingdoms are in war all the year round, it will be enough for us to fight for a little rest and recuperation for the Tang Dynasty. ”
Liu Rengui and Ren Ya looked at each other, and at Li Hong, they said at the same time, ”go to war.”
Li Hong nodded nonchalantly. Seeing that both of them had finished their meal, Li Hong did not intend to move. He continued: ”Dai Zhide is really responsible for his own fault. Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith are important. We need to respect the splendid civilization left by our ancestors, but it is not for us to stick to the tradition! There are some things we need to respect, but the times are changing. You can't always look at the future from the perspective of history
”Your Highness, I think it's too hasty for you to recall Dai Zhide today. As the crown prince of the state, you have the right, but if you are so hasty, I'm afraid your majesty will treat you...”
”Beat me up?” Li Hong, lying on the table, took the cup that had been placed on the summer solstice, and then said, ”the military department knows how to use new weapons, battle lines and arms to fight. Why can the Ministry of rites not be flexible? If all of them are as stubborn as Dai Zhide, let's just let Li's River and mountain restore the system of Emperor Zhou. Let's safeguard the system of well fields and establish several princes? Is it feasible? At that time, the Qin state was able to unify the six countries, but it won on the basis of flexibility. It completely abandoned the ideas left by the predecessors, and obtained the highest interests with high-risk and high-cost reform? The development process of anything needs courage and blood. Standing on the merit book and shouting the prosperous times, such officials are not needed. What the Tang Dynasty wants is officials who are always in a state of hunger and crisis, rather than those in a state of satisfaction. ”
Li Hong knew better than anyone that the support of Zhongshu and the big men was important, but the attitude of Ren Yaxiang and Liu Rengui in the military department could not be explained in terms of importance.
He was willing to spend more time explaining to the two people, that is, he hoped that Liu Rengui could really comply with his own will, instead of giving himself an attitude that he would not accept military orders abroad after he arrived in Liaodong.
There is no airtight wall in the world. On the second day after Li Hong finished his business in the East Palace assembly hall, two people sat on the ground in a hidden house in Liangzhou. They were drinking fresh tea from the south this year.
”Now it seems that he is determined to win Liaodong, which coincides with the will of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, haha.” Dressed in a Tang suit, he is a young Turk, looking at Li Zhong opposite.
Li Zhong put the cup on his nose, smelling the unique fragrance of the new tea, and then drank it calmly.
His face is still a simple and simple expression, looking at the Turkic young humanity: ”I did not expect that you should have the courage to run into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, you are not afraid of being found?”
After that, Li Zhong can't help but glance at the young man's right hand. It's full of horrible scars. It looks like it's been barbecued or fried.
Obviously, the Turkic young man also noticed Li Zhong's gaze. He slowly raised his right hand full of scarred terror. He looked as if he was appreciating a treasure. He said faintly, ”now you are in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. Business travelers from all over the world are flocking here. Do you care about more people like me when you go to the Tang Dynasty to buy and sell?”
Li Zhong gave a simple smile and asked, ”well, you're here to find out where the center of gravity of Tang's troops is now?”
”Yes, so you have to teach me.” The Turkic young man said with a smile.
Li Zhong Han Han looks at him and shakes his head. This ashinu, who was conquered by the Tang Dynasty with his father three years ago, is now placed in Khotan, one of the four towns in Anxi. But now he seems to have colluded with Tubo. In order to restore the country, he began to inquire whether the center of gravity of Tang's troops is in the West or in the East.
”What do you think?” Li Zhong asked.
”Prince of highness is extremely smart, I can not guess, now he is the state, but he has the final say?”
Li Zhong was silent, but nodded slightly.
A Shi Nu continued to look at his right hand and thought for a moment and said, ”so, the Tang Dynasty will continue to use troops against Liaodong. As for Anxi, naturally, it will not become the center of gravity?”
Li Zhong put his hands around his chest and looked at ASNU with a smile until he took out a piece of paper from his arms and slowly handed it to him.
