How to reward the heroes and make them satisfied and at ease is undoubtedly a test for an emperor, especially the founding emperor.
Generals with outstanding merits hold military power, and when they are dissatisfied, they will make noises and seek death in various ways.
The important ministers in the court also held great power. If they were dissatisfied, they would disrupt the court and compete with the imperial power.
Therefore, since ancient times, it has not been uncommon for the founding emperors to kill heroes. Needless to say, what happened to Emperor Qin and Han Wu, just take the current generation as an example. Li Yuan killed Liu Wenjing, Xiao Xian killed various kings, and Dou Jiande killed Tong Guangshou and others. These are good examples.
The heroes became increasingly domineering, the emperors lacked tolerance and were constantly suspicious, so tragedies were staged one after another.
Li Po also faced the same problem, but what made him better than everyone else was that he was a standard horse-horse emperor. Most of the generals in the army had fought under him and accumulated meritorious service to rise to the throne.
In addition to being loyal to the emperor, they were also afraid of the emperor...especially Li Po, who had unparalleled prestige in the army. While the generals were proud of themselves, they would also weigh the emperor's "merit", so there would be no
The idea that we are fighting outside and you are sitting back and enjoying the results.
So in general, the risks are controllable, but the heroes need to be left with room to advance, otherwise when the rewards are gone, even if Li Po doesn't want to attack the heroes, he won't be able to do it.
In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Po had a lot of thoughts, but he was very organized. It was obvious that he had become accustomed to the emperor's daily life. Thousands of military and political affairs were circulating in his mind. He no longer felt bored at first, and his priorities were clear.
In the first half of the year, his mind was on domestic affairs, and in the second half on the military, a year seemed to pass by just like that.
Li Po secretly stroked his abdomen and felt a little hungry. He looked at the sky and finally couldn't hold back his excitement and prepared to leave the palace for a swim.
So he summoned the guards and glared at Wei Zheng, stopping him from accompanying him with his eyes.
Wei Zheng shrank his head silently and looked at the emperor's back and couldn't help but curse. The position of doctor Jianyi is really not easy to hold. He will be blamed when he doesn't speak. He will be disliked if he talks too much. He must have been obsessed with ghosts in the first place.
It was only after I took over this position that I realized...
Li Po was surrounded by people and walked out of the palace. He originally planned to go and see the situation of Chang'an Academy, but it was a bit late to leave the palace, so he gave up.
Being out of the palace for the first time in several months, I naturally focused on relaxing.
After being the emperor for more than a year, his personal freedom has been greatly restricted. He can only leave the palace a handful of times. His ministers are also frightened by Yang Guang's troubles. When they have time, they will secretly persuade the emperor that there is no need.
Don't have any thoughts of traveling, lest you make the same mistake as the Sui Dynasty, but wander around the capital without anyone coming to say anything.
"Go to Princess Fufeng's Mansion." Li Po gave the order casually, and someone immediately left the team and went to the Princess Princess' Mansion to greet him there.
But halfway through, he got a report. The eldest princess had gone to Mrs. Chengguo's house for a visit. She had been there for two days. Li Po heard the report and said that you are really big-hearted.
My brother is very busy in the palace. You only run to the harem from time to time and don't come to express condolences to your brother. Your husband is leading troops outside to fight, and you are not crying in the palace, but you still have the leisure to run around. You really deserve it.
beat.
I was thinking whether I should send someone to bring the old scholar from Jinyang to Chang'an. It would be better to bring some canes from home to discipline his disciples.
Then he remembered the interesting story about Li Chun hiding his teacher's cane, and Li Po couldn't help but smile.
Thinking about it, I have only been away from Jinyang for less than two years, but somehow, it feels like I have left there for many years, and I don’t know when I will be able to return to my hometown to take a look.
After all, that is the place where he started. He stayed there for many years and left deep traces. I wonder how the people in Yunnei are doing now. Is anyone still talking about how Li Yunnei is doing? He
Is the Bamianlou where I stayed still packed with guests...
Are there still so many young ladies patrolling the streets in Mayi? The refugee camps back then should be gone, right?
He was only a teenager when he went south to Mayi, and now he is over 10 years old. He has lived up to the passage of time, but the years are ruthless, but no matter how capable you are and how magical your origins are, every time you pass by
You get older every year, no one is an exception.
He looked sideways with emotion, and when he met those burgundy eyes, the two couldn't help but smile at each other. Time seemed not to have left many traces on Ashina Rongzhen.
She is still strong and full of vitality, and the Senniu Bishen in charge of her are obedient. The names of Concubine Ashina and General Zuo Senniu Bishen are being praised among the inner guards... These are the treasures he picked up on the grassland.
Li Po couldn't help but look back at Cheng Dabeard, who was following closely behind his horse, lest he could not see him. When the man saw the emperor looking back, he immediately opened his mouth and smiled, which immediately made Li Po want to slap him.
An impulse.
As he expected, this guy and Luo Shixin and others began to call each other brothers, and they could have a few drinks from time to time. Not to mention anything else, this guy's survival skills must be full. No matter where he goes, he can make a group of bad friends.
Give it some sunshine and it will shine brightly for you.
Not only did this guy get along well in the Senniu Prefecture, which was full of aristocratic children, but even Ashina Rongzhen was fooled by him and ordered him to join the army as a Sima of the Senniu Prefecture.
From a city gate guard to a Sima of the Senniu Bishen Prefecture, a career that others would probably never complete in a lifetime, he easily crossed over in just over a year.
Li Po waved, and the bearded man was flattered. He immediately rode up to him. He did not dare to occupy Ashina Rongzhen's place, so he pushed Sun Shunde away unceremoniously.
Li Po was not polite to him. When he saw him approaching, he grabbed his beard and pulled him so hard that he almost fell off his horse. He didn't dare to cry out for pain. The people around him immediately started to stir, and then some laughter spread.
Voice.
It's just that only they themselves know how much envy is hidden in this laughter that sounds like schadenfreude. Being pulled by the emperor's beard is a rare occurrence. If possible, who wouldn't want to give it a try? Everyone doesn't have beards...
Li Po smiled and said: "After so many years, you have been wandering around, and finally fell into my hands. Do you regret that you left too early?"
Cheng Zhijie bared his teeth and grinned, most of it just pretending. He was not sure why he was so happy in his heart.
"Supreme, please calm down. I have long known that I was wrong... I was homesick at that time. If not, how could I have ended up in this situation? It is not easy to meet the Supreme. In the early years, those brothers all became famous, and I was the only one who traveled around, but
Like a lonely ghost, not being reused."
Li Po sneered and tugged hard before letting go, "If you ever mention the word brother again, I will chop off your head. Where are the people who followed you back now? Can you find them for me?"
Come up with a living person, and I will promote you to an official right now."
Cheng Zhijie rubbed his chin nonchalantly and said to himself that after so many years, your temper has not changed. When you speak, you always try to hurt others where they are. If not, I wouldn't leave.
Well, I suffer because my bones are stronger than others...
"This Supreme Being was unjustly accused of killing me. Shandong was in chaos at that time. Everyone wanted to go home to see if the young and old were still there. When they got there, everyone dispersed. I didn't lead them to die."
While explaining, he rolled his eyes and said shamelessly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to promote me to an official position. I have fought in these years and have made much progress than before. Nowadays, troops are being used everywhere. If I can serve in front of the battle,
I will definitely not embarrass the Supreme Being."
Li Po had a big smile on his face, and Cheng Dabeard was so scared that his legs went weak.
Li Po said leisurely: "It's not impossible, I'm just afraid that if you are afraid of danger and miss my important event, I will have no mercy here."
Cheng Zhijie's heart was a little trembling, but he also knew that the opportunity was rare, and he was indeed stable in the capital. It was not difficult for him to be promoted step by step, but he himself was not a stable person.
He gritted his teeth, hit his chest hard several times, stirred up his liver and gallbladder, and said as if he was swearing: "No matter what your Majesty orders, if I can't do it, I will chop off my head, and I will never complain."
Li Po nodded, regardless of whether what he said was true or false, "You have interacted a lot with gangsters in recent years, so I will use your strengths... The tribes in the northwest are mixed and becoming more and more chaotic. You go and inspect the various ministries for me.
, Kill those who deserve to be killed, make good knots that need to be knotted, if you can stabilize the situation a little, what does it mean to be promoted? It is also easy to become a prince. "
Cheng Zhijie's face gradually stiffened, and he was already calling mother in his heart.
Li Po glanced at him sideways and coldly, "Why, you don't want to?"
Cheng Zhijie was naturally reluctant. Although he had never been to that ghost place in the northwest, he had heard about it. It was even worse than Shandong, especially when he heard that it was sparsely populated, full of wind and sand, and there were so many people there.
What's the difference between there and hair accessories?
Not long ago, Xiao's prodigal son was sent to serve in the northwest. When he was joking with his colleagues, he was gloating over his misfortune, not wanting it to be his turn so soon.
But he didn't dare to refuse. He thought hard, then beat his chest again and said: "The Supreme Being has a destiny, and I will do my best to do it. But I have never been to the northwest, so I'm afraid I'll miss something..."
Li Po waved his hand, "You're not going there alone. This is a big deal. Do you think I'm joking? If you really don't want to, just go and see the city gate. It's useless to stay here all day long."
While Cheng Zhijie was still obedient, Li Po drove him back.
In fact, the situation in the northwest has stabilized after the great victory at Zuoliangchuan. Li Po really wants to send some more people there to appease and scare the barbarians in the northwest.
Cheng Zhijie just happened to catch up, and Li Po opened the small ledger and settled the old accounts, so as not to let him get too complacent and ruin the atmosphere in Qianniu Beishen Mansion.
Outside are the Western Turkic tribes in the Dunhuang area... He wants to send someone to take a look. Cheng Dabeard is rough and thick-skinned, but also very smooth. He is just suitable to deal with the Turks and let the Turks see the brutal bandits of the Central Plains.
