Chapter 0923 Only with courtesy can we communicate!
Ashina Simo was stunned by this sudden surprise and swallowed subconsciously.
There are not many people named Li who have been sealed in Guanzhong, but a person named Ashina has been sealed in Guanzhong. Is it appropriate?
Liang Luoren was even more shocked and stunned, staring blankly at Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji smiled and explained: "This is the tradition that I, Mrs. Li, have always had in treating others. If someone comes with his men and horses, I, Mrs. Li, will treat them generously."
For specific reference, please refer to Li Shiji.
Li Shiji was not very dazzling in the early Tang Dynasty. The main reason why he was given a surname and was named a Duke together with his father was that when he joined the Tang Dynasty, he did not come empty-handed, but brought a large territory with him.
and a lot of people.
Li Shiji knew how to deal with the world, so Li Yuan would not be stingy.
So not only was he given the title of Duke, but when his father surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, his father was given the title of County Prince.
If his father hadn't refused to accept it, the Li family where Li Shiji belonged would now be the king's family.
In comparison, other people who came to vote without gifts, even if they made great military exploits for the Tang Dynasty, received far less generous rewards than Li Shiji.
This is the difference between becoming a partner with capital and technology and becoming a partner with only technology.
You only have technology, while others have not only technology but also capital. Their starting point is definitely higher than yours, and the benefits they can get are definitely more than yours.
"If you can bring 30,000 soldiers and civilians to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, I can also ask my father to seal you in Guanzhong."
After Li Yuanji gave a simple explanation, he smiled and said to Liang Luoren.
Liang Luoren smiled dryly and said nothing.
He doesn't have the confidence of Ashina Simo.
No matter how you say it, he was a Turkic Khan. Even though he has lost his authority now, his skinny camel is still bigger than his horse.
He sounds like he is the cousin of Liang Shidu, the leader of the Liang Kingdom, and a member of the royal family of the Liang Kingdom, but in fact he is an errand-running general under Liang Shidu.
Apart from commanding the more than 20,000 troops given to him by Master Liang, he had nothing else.
Although more than 20,000 troops are at his disposal, Master Liang can take them back at any time if he wants.
Because the vast majority of the captains among the more than 20,000 men were Liang Shidu's confidants.
So there was no way he could bring more than 20,000 troops to join the Tang Dynasty.
Unlike Ashina Simo, who has absolute control over the 30,000 warriors under his command, the 30,000 warriors under his command are only loyal to him. Jieli and Sunisu's orders are all ignored in front of them.
Not easy to use.
Therefore, Ashina Simo can take refuge with whomever he wants with these 30,000 warriors. There is no need to care about anyone's attitude, and there is no need to worry about having his troops confiscated.
This is far beyond his reach.
Therefore, he could only envy and envy Ashina Simo for being crowned the King of Guanzhong, and there was no way he could imitate him.
"This, this, this is inappropriate, isn't it?"
Ashina Simo also came back to his senses at this time and said with some stumble.
Li Yuanji smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said: "There is nothing inappropriate. If you bring your troops to surrender, I, the Tang Dynasty, cannot treat you harshly."
Ashnasmo hurriedly said: "But I, a Turk, will be criticized if I am sealed in Guanzhong."
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "I don't care, do you care a lot?"
Ashina Simo opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
He wasn't really a fool, so how could he not understand the profound meaning of Li Yuanji's words?
Li Yuanji was telling him that as a king, he charged, how could he, a minister, retreat?
Seeing that Ashina Simo understood the meaning of his words, Li Yuanji patted his shoulder again and said sincerely: "Work hard. If one day you make great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, I will ask my father to give you a gift."
My surname is Li."
In Li Yuanji's view, giving a surname is simply the cheapest and most effective way to win over people.
A person like Ashina Simo, who is not valued by the ethnic group and is regarded as an alien in the ethnic group, if you can introduce him to the same kind and give him a national surname, he can stop everything and work hard for you.
Unlike Luo Yi, Du Fuwei is a tycoon who rose up in troubled times. They are all ambitious people, and they are the same kind as you. If you give them national surnames, it will not have any effect on winning over them.
.
Therefore, giving the national surname to people like Ashina Simo is far better than giving it to Luo Yi, Du Fuwei and other troubled heroes, or the Cao Tou Wang.
Even giving national surnames to An Xinggui, Feng Ang and other feudal officials who had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty was better than giving national surnames to Luo Yi, Du Fuwei and other troubled heroes.
Ashina Simo was so excited that he couldn't speak and kept opening his mouth.
Seeing his anxious look, Li Yuanji smiled and helped him out: "Okay, I can feel your thoughts, so you don't need to say more."
After saying that, he looked at Liang Luoren and said with a smile: "What I told King Heshun is also valid for you. If you can make great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, I can also ask my father to give you a national surname."
Liang Luoren said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."
Li Yuanji glanced at him with a smile.
Li Yuanji could see that Liang Luoren was actually far less enthusiastic about being given a national surname than Ashina Simo.
It's good to have the surname Li.
But the Liang family is not a small family, so there is no need to rush to change their names.
As long as the Tang Dynasty could accommodate the Liang family, it would be possible for them to develop, and there would be no need to pursue a national surname.
Perhaps when Li Yuan gave Luo Yi, Du Fuwei, Li Shiji and others the national surname, they didn't want it either.
However, due to the power of the Tang Dynasty and Li Yuan being the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, they could not refuse Li Yuan's gift, so they pretended to be happy to accept it.
For example, the Five Surnames and Qiwang, several other top wealthy families among the Eight Great Families of Guanlong, you go and give them a surname and try to see if they don't spit in your face.
"Your Highness, it's getting late, it's time for breakfast."
Zhao Chengyong didn't know when he appeared beside the bonfire, bowed and said.
Li Yuanji smiled and invited Ashina Simo and Liang Luoren: "Okay, what needs to be said has been said. Let's go have a meal together."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After saying that, without waiting for Ashina Simo and Liang Luoren to agree, he led them to a tent next to the campfire.
Entering the tent, Li Shimin had already arrived. He was wearing a spring shirt that was neither too thick nor too thin, and he was sitting in front of the eucalyptus table in the tent, eating mutton soup.
There were biscuits soaked in the soup, and after sucking up the soup, I looked like I had gained weight.
Li Shimin used a kuai to peel it, and kept stuffing it into his mouth. The food tasted particularly sweet.
Both Ashina Simo and Liang Luoren have eaten this food, so they didn't show any abnormality.
"Are you all here? Sit down!"
While Li Shimin was eating the mutton soup, he saw Ashina Simo and Liang Luoren entering the tent, then raised his head slightly, greeted them like a master, and continued to eat his mutton soup.
Ashina Simo and Liang Luoren were a little uncomfortable. After bowing slightly, they stood still but did not move.
When Li Yuanji asked them to sit down, they followed suit.
Then everyone held the bowls and ate mutton soup together.
Mutton soup without sugar, garlic, vermicelli, and coriander is soulless.
Li Yuanji ate a small bowl and drank a cup of mutton soup and felt full.
On the contrary, Ashina Simo and Liang Luoren ate deliciously.
Especially Ashina Simo, after finishing his own bowl, he took Li Yuanji's left over and ate it too without hesitation.
Li Shimin felt that his behavior was licking, which was extremely disgusting. He kept winking at Li Yuanji, telling Li Yuanji with his winks, "Look, who are you looking for? They are so disgusting when they flatter you."
.
Li Yuanji glared at Li Shimin with a bad expression.
She has big muscles and a round waist, so she really has a big appetite, and she likes to eat this stuff, so she's not trying to flatter her.
Besides, in terms of nausea, who is more disgusting than you, Li Shimin.
You have sucked pus and blood from people throughout history.
He even ate it in front of Li Yuan's chest.
You even asked your son to suck you out of sepsis.
Although the story that Li Shimin ate indiscriminately on Li Yuan's chest needs to be verified, it is true that Li Shimin sucked pus and blood from Ashina Simo, and Li Zhi sucked sepsis from Li Shimin.
It is said that Li Zhi finally became Li Shimin's successor by virtue of this simplicity in the emperor's heart.
This sounds very fatherly and filial, but in fact it is a bit nonsense.
After Li Chengqian and Li Tai's accidents happened one after another, Li Shimin was left with a clean legitimate son like Li Zhi, and the only one he could pass on was Li Zhi.
Whether Li Zhi sucks the sepsis or not, he is his successor and will take his place.
Therefore, it is sheer nonsense to say that he passed the position to Li Zhi because Li Zhi gave him sepsis.
When it comes to inheritance, the first thing to consider is integrity, then talent and morality, and finally personal relationships.
The Li family has always adhered to the inheritance system of the eldest son. If the eldest son is gone, the eldest son will be the eldest son. Anyway, the successor must be selected from the eldest son.
If there is something wrong with the head of the Li family and he wants to choose a successor among the concubines, not to mention whether the civil and military officials who also follow the eldest son inheritance system will agree, even the Li family members will not agree.
Therefore, when there is an eldest son, it is just and logical to choose the eldest son as the heir.
When the eldest son is gone or cannot be the heir for some reason
Only then can the heir be selected based on talent and virtue among the other legitimate sons. Only at this time will the personal relationship come into play.
But as long as the direct bloodline is not severed, personal relationships will never be the main condition for choosing an heir.
When Li Yuan first entered Guanzhong, if he had fulfilled his promise to Li Shimin in time, he would have made Li Shimin the crown prince and Li Jiancheng the king of Qin.
Then there may be no such emperor as Li Shimin in history.
Because Li Shimin is not the eldest son, if he directly becomes the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty over his eldest son while the eldest son is still alive, has made no mistakes, and has not been deprived of his status as the eldest son, he will be supported by all the people in the world who support the eldest son succession system.
people attack.
And the talented people under him may not necessarily continue to be loyal to him.
Because the merit of supporting someone along the way is far less than the merit of helping to seize the throne by following the dragon.
Naturally, the benefits that can be obtained are not as many as those from Dragon Power.
