Looking at the scene in front of him, Xiao Han's head was full of black lines!
Even Li Shimin couldn't help but twitch his cheeks a few times, and pulled Xiao Han to the other side, paying no attention to the woman who was still howling non-stop while food was scattered on the floor.
And the Ouchi guards rushed out of the room in embarrassment.
"Master Hou? Master Hou! Make the decision for us! If this thief dares to enter our village openly, there must be a leader..."
I admired the woman for being able to see Xiao Han sharply when she was crying, but after her cry, Xiao Han walked very quickly without being pulled by Li Shimin.
The two of them almost jogged all the way, from the center of Zhuangzi to the edge of Zhuangzi.
Here, there is a small earth slope. If you stand on the top of the slope, you can overlook most of Zhuangzi.
Xiao Han still remembered that in the past, a small outpost seemed to have been established here. However, with the changes in Zhuangzi, the outpost had long since disappeared, and the soil slopes had returned to their original bare appearance.
It was a bit strange. As if the guest Li Shimin knew this place, he pulled Xiao Han straight up the slope, his movements so skillful that Xiao Han rolled his eyes.
This guy definitely sneaked into his house more than once!
Aunt Hu's tiles were probably stepped on several times before they finally shattered today.
Otherwise, with the quality of the tiles produced by Xiaojiazhuangzi, even one or two big men would definitely not be able to crush them!
Xiao Han was still cursing secretly, but Li Shimin on the side was happily admiring the Xiaojiazhuangzi in front of him.
Xiaojiazhuangzi is really beautiful at night.
Unlike Chang'an, which turns pitch-black at night, almost every house here has lights on, and the streets where running water mats are set up are even more brightly lit, like a long luminous dragon that stretches across the entire Zhuangzi.
"This is the most beautiful Zhuangzi in the world! It is also the most beautiful Zhuangzi in my mind."
Heaving a long sigh of relief, Li Shimin stood upright on the top of the slope facing the evening breeze.
The sky-blue clothes are dancing in the wind, coupled with the handsome face and the temperament of having been in a position of power for a long time. At this moment, Little Plum looks like an immortal in the sky, as if the next moment, he will transform into an immortal.
Go on the wind.
Compared with Xiao Lizi, Xiao Han was wearing a bathrobe, revealing half of his hairy thighs, yawning constantly, and rubbing his eyes. It would be a bit flattering to say that he looked like a monster...
Well, to be precise, it should be like a fairy's mount...
"This is just a very ordinary Zhuangzi, not very good. If your Majesty is willing, you can make many Zhuangzi that are several times better than this one." Xiao Han yawned and echoed casually.
The bottle of wine that had been tricked before finally worked. Now my head was blown by the night wind, making me feel dizzy and I spoke without thinking.
"Are you still blaming me?"
After listening to Xiao Han's casual remarks, Li Shimin suddenly frowned, hesitated, and asked softly.
"Blame you?" Xiao Han shook his head, and while he was still awake, he asked in confusion: "What do you blame me for?"
"What happened about Li Jing and the others this time was not my intention."
Li Shimin did not answer Xiao Han's words, and did not even look back. He just looked at Zhuangzi in front of him and sighed softly: "Although I also want to see more young faces in the court, I will not forget the achievements of the old ministers.
, let alone obliterate it, I am just looking for a way, a stable way that is good for everyone."
After hearing this, Xiao Han fell silent.
He believed that Xiao Lizi was indeed treating him as a friend, and what he said was indeed true!
The butt can really determine the head! This sentence has been confirmed countless times throughout the ages!
Farmers sitting in the fields only need to consider whether the crops in the fields are growing well, whether they will be enough to pay taxes after the autumn harvest, and whether they will be enough to feed their families.
The official sitting in the yamen has to consider the people under his command, the superior officer above his head, and the assessment given to him by the emperor and the court!
As for the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, what he has to consider is no longer such trivial matters as personal feelings, but the future of the entire world!
Datang needs to last for a long time, needs to be sustained, and needs to be passed down from generation to generation!
For this purpose, Xiao Lizi cannot only use those old ministers in the court! No matter how outstanding those veteran ministers are, how capable they are in fighting, and how loyal they are, it won't work!
Zhuge Liang, are you loyal and capable?!
But after his death, what became of the Kingdom of Shu? In order to save himself and prevent the people from suffering, poor Adou could only do some stupid things like "I am happy here but don't miss Shu", which has made the world laugh at me for thousands of years!
But looking at it from another direction, what could Adou do besides this?
How long can he resist Cao Wei's army with no generals or soldiers?
So Li Shimin knew: he must find their successors in time while these veterans are still there! Then smoothly and smoothly settle the veterans, and finally realize the transition of the order of power.
It is difficult, very difficult to achieve this!
There are not only veterans who are obsessed with power, but also newcomers who are unbearable! More importantly, it is Xiao Lizi himself who cannot wipe out this face and cannot get rid of this!
If someone happens to jump out at this moment and do what the emperor wants to do, even if the method is a little ruthless, the most likely thing the emperor will do for the sake of the world is to silently accept it like Li Shimin does now!
"You can use the other instead..."
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Han suppressed the alcohol in his chest and suddenly asked with red eyes: "Can you tell me who this person is?"
"Hou Junji!" Li Shimin said the name without any hesitation.
"It's him!" When he heard this name, Xiao Han was a little surprised, but also a little relieved.
As a veteran who has been following Li Shimin since King Qin, it is impossible for Xiao Han to be unfamiliar with Hou Junji.
But compared with Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji and others, Xiao Han and Hou Junji still feel very strange to each other after they have known each other for so long!
This is not because Xiao Han knew that this guy was going to rebel in the future, so he drew clear boundaries in advance and cut off the good relationship.
After all, Xue Wanche was also beheaded for rebellion in later generations! But this did not prevent Xiao Han from becoming his first friend in the Tang Dynasty!
Among them, what really separates Xiao Han from him is that this person is too scheming and utilitarian!
Li Jing, who is that? That is half of his master Hou Junji!
But now, in order to ascend to the throne, he could cruelly abandon his master! This alone made Xiao Han unable to accept it!
Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, three items were taken care of at once! If the story of his later rebellion had been dealt with in advance, this man would have acquired all four!
Unfaithful, unfilial, unkind!
Thinking back now, Li Jing's dejected appearance in the military center during that period was probably not due to his attachment to power, but more to his despair over betrayal.
