Chapter 825 (2/2)
”In this case, Sheng Luoyan will be handed over to you.” Li Hong took a look at Lin Shiling and continued to say without expression.
”Yes, your highness, I promise you will never let general Quan Yi ruin your plan if you see him die.” Lin Shi Ling got up and saluted respectfully.
”Hesitation is not your character. Just say what you have. You have always been in front of me from the beginning, showing an act without any selfish thoughts. Why are you still hesitating because of what?” Li Hong's face showed a soft smile, looking at Lin Shiling standing on the opposite side.
”Minister I don't know if I should say something wrong. But if I don't say it, I feel like a lump in my throat. I also lost my duty as a loyal minister. So I'd better say it. The minister thought that the dozens of scholars headed by Yang Sijian would not be able to play the role of Dai Zhide in Tubo because they were in the land of the six imperial edicts. If one of them is not done well, it will be self defeating. ”
”How do you say that?” Li Hong raised his eyebrows and asked.
”Your Highness, you should know what happened in Chang'an city a few days ago? The king of England, the king of Yin, and Princess Taiping joined forces to force the imperial eunuch to sacrifice wine to Kong Zhiyue in the imperial court. The matter is now circulating in every corner of the Tang Dynasty. The minister does not rule out the rumor that some scholars deliberately take a walk in order to destroy the image of the court in the minds of scholars. Yang Sijian was once dismissed by his highness, and his daughter's disrespect to the crown prince's highness at that time is now If Yang Sijian and these literati and scholars were put on a high position, they were afraid that they would not be able to achieve the effect of Dai Zhide in Tubo, but would... ”
”There is no need to talk about it. There are other secrets in Yang Sijian's coming here. But then again, it would be a pity to put such a scholar who had already engraved Confucianism in his bones in Chang'an. Now I'm short of hands. You know very well that I have to. So I have to make do with it first. ” Li Hong reached for Lin Shiling to sit down.
Then he continued to say slowly, ”when I asked you to go to Tubo with Jinghui and Quanyi, instead of putting you in Chengdu, Jiannan Road, you must have never figured out why? Although you are thinking about the court from the perspective of the court, are you still confused? Why did Di Renjie go to Jiannan road a few years later than you, Lin Shiling, enter Jiannan road a few years in advance to strike while the iron is hot? ”
”Your Highness is wise and wise. I really think so. But your highness doesn't say anything and I don't dare to ask. I can only comfort myself in my heart. It must be your Highness's intention to arrange this way.” As for Li Shihong, he didn't say that he was good at getting up this time.
In the face of Prince Li Hong, Lin Shiling never hid any of his emotions or some of his thoughts. He knew better than any official that his royal highness could give them back.
Moreover, if you want to realize your high official position and become one of the government officials, you must be more loyal and honest than others in front of your royal highness.
”Both Pei Xingjian and di Renjie belong to the same kind of people. If Di Renjie is sent to Tibet, it will be no different from continuing to put Pei Xingjian in Tubo. Jiannandao is the land of the Tang Dynasty. Both the common people and the officials have regarded themselves as Chinese people since ancient times. With your character and the city government, including your means of doing things, you can solve the remaining disputes in a short time. However, no one of us can grasp the follow-up influence. It can't be said that after ten years, the court will send a large number of troops Shu suppressed the rebels. ”
”Therefore, di Renjie went to Chengdu government to rectify the administration of officials and dealt with it in a gentle and mellow way. Even if the officials of jiannandao were dismissed, the people would not have any estrangement with the Tang Dynasty, but would just applaud. However, if a minister goes to Shu and sweeps it with the force of thunderbolt, it will certainly cause more disturbance, even shake the interests of the people and the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, thus bringing you unclear hidden dangers. But But his highness let his ministers go to the land. Is it not afraid that the style of the ministers will make the efforts of Mr. Pei Xingjian and others go down in vain
”Tubo doesn't need to be gentle and mellow now. If you want them to have centripetal force and respect for our Tang Dynasty, you have to let them fear us first. So you are more suitable for Tubo than di Renjie, but not for Jiannan road.”
”Fear first, then respect?” Lin Shiling couldn't figure out why.
