His thoughts were out in the open, not hidden, so the only person who should see through them was Wei Zheng, who clearly and completely told Li Yuanji his thoughts.
Li Yuanji returned to Zhaode Hall and after listening to Wei Zheng's analysis of Li Yuan's unusual behavior, he decisively put the matter behind him.
Li Yuan's idea is a good idea, but it is destined to fail because he does not allow it, so there is nothing to care about.
What Li Yuanji was more concerned about was that there were so many officials watching the ceremony and Li Yuan had a lot on his mind. Why was Wei Zheng the only one to tell him about this?
"You mean, everyone else saw my father's thoughts?"
Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "I can see everything that should be seen..."
Li Yuanji stared at Wei Zheng and said, "Then why were you the only one to tell me?"
Wei Zheng's face became even more bitter, "Then I don't know."
Li Yuanji shook his head and said, "No, you know, you just don't want to say it."
Speaking of this, Li Yuanji sighed: "The reason why this is so is because they are not of the same mind as me. If I want to rule you, I still need to go a long, long way."
Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Since Li Yuanji understands everything, he has nothing to say.
"Where are the Turks now?"
Li Yuanji had nothing to say, because this was expected. Li Shimin was not born with a lot of civil servants and warriors accompanying him. He was also on the road of constant conquest, constantly absorbing all talents, and constantly recruiting and surrendering all. Talents eventually gathered a large number of civil servants and warriors.
Therefore, things like appeasing people's hearts cannot be accomplished overnight. It requires a long-term process and requires gradual planning.
In comparison, the Turkic invasion is the most critical issue at the moment.
Wei Zhenggong cupped his hands and said, "You have to ask King Huai'an and Duke Yi about this matter."
After a group of military ministers headed by Li Shentong and Qin Qiong temporarily established a "staff department".
In terms of military affairs, civil servants were not allowed to interfere too much, and Wei Zheng did not take the initiative to inquire. Therefore, Wei Zheng only knew that the Turks had already set off in mid-August and had now reached Shuofang City, the capital of Liangshi.
He had no idea how the troops would be divided into different groups or how they would advance.
"Then summon King Huai'an and Duke Yi to come here to meet you."
Li Yuanji ordered.
Wei Zheng agreed and went to summon Li Shentong and Qin Qiong.
Not long after, Li Shentong and Qin Qiong appeared in Zhaode Hall.
After giving the salute, Li Shentong took the initiative and said without waiting for Li Yuanji to ask: "Your Highness, I have just received the news that the Turks have left Shuofang City and divided into three groups with the troops from Liang Shidu, from Shizhou and Wei. Zeguan and Yunzhou front lines have begun to advance.
Li Shiji has rushed to Shizhou to take charge, Li Shenfu has also rushed to Yunzhou to take charge, and He Fanren is still guarding Weize Pass."
Li Yuanji frowned slightly and said, "Have the people sent to assist He Fanren arrived yet?"
Li Shentong cupped his hands and said, "Niu Xiu has arrived in Jinzhou and will arrive at Weize Pass soon."
Originally, Li Yuanji was looking for a capable person to guard Weize Pass. Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin recommended Niu Jinda when they discussed military matters.
Li Yuanji couldn't find suitable manpower for a while, so Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin patted their chests again to ensure that Niu Jinda had the ability and would not cause trouble.
So after Li Yuanji weighed it up, he finally sent Niu Jinda to lead 3,000 infantry, escorted some grain and grass, and rushed to Weize Pass.
It's just that Niu Jinda has been out for half a month and has just arrived in Jinzhou, so he needs to be urged.
Although the Turks suffered a big loss at Weize Pass last time and may not send heavy troops to attack Weize Pass this time, Weize Pass is still an important gateway for the Tang Dynasty to resist the Turks.
If something goes wrong, the Turks can easily break through the Tang Dynasty's wires and wreak havoc within the Tang Dynasty, so we must do everything we need to do before the Turks come and strengthen our defenses.
"Send someone to urge Niu Xiu to rush to Weize Pass as soon as possible to assist He Fanren in setting up the defense. At the same time, send an order to Kan Leng and ask him to rush to Weize Pass to assist He Fanren in guarding the pass."
After Li Yuanji thought for a while, he decisively ordered.
Now Shaanxi Road has been almost taken care of by Qu Tutong and Li Chengqian. Except for a few people who jumped out and overestimated their capabilities, there was no big commotion, so Kan Leng no longer needed to be on guard.
Kanleng is close to Weize Pass, and there is no food and grass to slow down the formation. Asking him to go to Weize Pass to help can also add a boost to Weize Pass.
At the same time, it can also help keep an eye on He Fanren and Niu Xiu.
"I obey, I will send someone to take care of it immediately."
Li Shentong agreed and sent someone down to deliver the order.
Qin Qiong took advantage of this opportunity and said with a complicated expression: "Your Highness, since the Turks have arrived, should the war in Zhaozhou end?"
The war in Zhaozhou has been going on for more than two months. Zhaozhou has been beaten to pieces. The number of soldiers, horses, bandits, and people who died in Zhaozhou has exceeded 50,000.
Li Yuanji's various goals were achieved, and the Turks also arrived. Qin Qiong felt that the war in Zhaozhou should be over.
If the fighting continues, Li Shimin's troops and important personnel scattered throughout Duji Road will probably be killed.
Qin Qiong didn't care about the life or death of those important personnel, even if they were his former colleagues or comrades who fought together.
What he cares about is the life and death of those innocent soldiers.
Although those people rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, they rebelled because they were loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and they did not deserve to be killed or injured countless times.
Although they were loyal to Li Shimin, not Li Yuanji, since Li Yuanji had firmly gained the upper hand and had gradually gained control over them, he should not cause more killings.
"I will inform Su Dingfang about this, so you don't need to worry about it."
Li Yuanji knew exactly when it would end, so Qin Qiong didn't need to ask.
In Qin Qiong's opinion, the war in Zhaozhou should be over, but in his opinion, the war in Zhaozhou is still a little bit worse.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although Zhaozhou has been beaten to pieces, the disloyal people in Duji Road have also been killed, and the Zhaozhou Li family has become a thing of the past, but the Zhaozhou Li family
The remnants are still running in several other wealthy families in Hebei Province.
No one knows whether or when these wealthy families will end due to the lobbying of the Zhaozhou Li family, so we must take another look.
The number of soldiers and horses used by Datang this time was huge, and the cost was naturally huge.
It is difficult to support the government with just the little money and food in the treasury, and the food shipped from Jiaozhou is also a drop in the bucket.
The money and food looted from the Li family in Zhaozhou was only enough to feed the soldiers on the battlefields in Hebei Province and Taiyuan Prefecture. The money and food needed for the battlefield in Guanzhong is still unknown.
Therefore, if several other wealthy clubs are willing to give up, they can strike hard and transfer the price.
I believe that the famous Qiwang of the Five Surnames can still come up with the money and food needed for the Guanzhong battlefield.
Originally, the money and food looted from the Zhaozhou Li family was enough. After all, the Zhaozhou Li family had accumulated considerable wealth over hundreds of years, and could easily support a large-scale war.
It's just that among the wealth of the Li family in Zhaozhou, there is more money, and the food is only enough for one battlefield.
When wealthy families from all over the world knew that the Turks were about to invade, they frantically collected and stockpiled food. Now the price of food has risen to the point where ordinary people cannot afford it.
And there isn't much food for sale on the market yet.
Even if you have a lot of money in your hands, you can't buy a lot of food.
Because the wealthy families in various places are very smart, they only release a small amount of grain to ensure that the people everywhere have food to eat, and they will not gather to cause trouble or grab grain, and they will not let out any extra grains left.
If you encounter someone who is harvesting grain wantonly, you will be very vigilant. Not only will you use various means to target them, but you will also find ways to destroy the grain they receive.
It is precisely because of this that if the imperial court wanted to obtain large quantities of grain and grass, there were only two options left.
One is to negotiate terms with wealthy families, and the other is
He gave them a lot of money.
Li Yuanji was unwilling to take either path, so he had to wait for some wealthy and ignorant families to come to his door.
It's ironic to say the least.
This year the Tang Dynasty had a bumper harvest of spring grain, and the weather was good in spring and summer. It was expected that the autumn grain harvest would also be bumper. However, the imperial court did not stock up on much grain. Even the army went on an expedition, and the grain and grass they needed were still not available.
Not all collected.
The yamen and vassal kings in various places don't know what's going on. It's as if they have agreed to pay taxes uniformly, and few pay food.
If it weren't for Li Gang, Pei Ju, Chen Shuda and others who came to the local government at the critical moment and half of the taxes paid by the vassal princes must be grain, it is estimated that the grain and grass needed by Li Xiaogong during his march with his army would have to be scraped here and there.
Li Yuanji finally realized the difficulty of being restricted by a wealthy family, and finally realized the determination of Li Shimin, Li Zhi, and Wu Zetian to deal with the wealthy family.
Are these guys who are all waiting to be killed during the national crisis? If we don’t eradicate them, why don’t we just keep them for the New Year?
Don't they understand that there is no way for an egg to be completed when the whole family is together?
Do you really think that no matter how the King's Flag is changed, it will not affect the longevity of the wealthy family?
When the iron hoofs of the alien race march south, how many wealthy families can stop them?
When a knife is put to your neck, what do you use to threaten someone?
Even if the common people know the truth about the destruction of a country and the destruction of a family, how can a wealthy family be an exception?
All of them were praised too highly, spoiled too much, placed too much importance on family status and clan interests, and completely ignored the interests of the clan. They deserved to be eradicated.
After all, if you control the interests of a large number of ethnic groups, but do not know how to dedicate and contribute to the ethnic group, you will hinder the development of the ethnic group. If you don't eradicate the ethnic group, who will you eradicate?
As a person in power, at a critical moment, when money and food are needed, who will be killed if we don’t kill this kind of pig?
Are you going to kill people?
"Is there any new news from Chai Shao?"
After Li Yuanji rejected Qin Qiong's proposal, he stared at Li Shentong and asked.
Chai Shao rushed to Hebei Province soon after Li Jing returned to Beijing, succeeded Li Jing and became the actual controller of the Daxingtai Military Department of Hebei Province, and is now stationing troops in Jizhou to guard against Li Yi.
The reason why they did not push their troops to Yizhou and Cangzhou was because they did not want to force Li Yi to rebel.
After all, Li Yi hasn't rebelled yet, nor has he made any changes.
The troops were pressed to the door of Li Yi's house, which was forcing Li Yi to rebel.
Although Li Yi has reached the point where he can no longer rebel, the impact of his rebellion now is completely different from his opposition to the Tang Dynasty in the future.
