Chapter 1215 Li Tai's mentality is stable and analyzes the reason for being stabbed, and learns that Muchuan is going to leave and ask for harsh...
Chapter 1215 Li Tai calmly analyzed the reason for the assassination and learned that Muchuan was leaving and raised harsh...
“However, since they want to murder this king, they must have other options, right?
I have to be careful!"
Li Tai murmured to himself.
Muchuan said: "Your Highness, there is no need to be nervous. As long as I am here, I will ensure your safety."
Muchuan is quite satisfied with Li Tai. He is not greedy for pleasure, and he governs well. He is very good in literature, Taoism and military strategy. There is no problem that he will be a wise king in the future.
Moreover, Li Tai has a good temper.
Muchuan and Li Tai have been in contact for half a year and both feel very comfortable.
Although Li Tai showed a hint of rebellion at first, it seemed that this idea was given up later, and he felt more and more that Li Tai had Luoyang's self-respect in mind.
He probably knew that he could not compete with Li Zhi's power in Chang'an.
He believed that following such a master, he would have no worries about food and clothing in the future.
Moreover, he also learned many novel things from Li Tai.
Li Tai also knew that these vassal kings would definitely unite to plan to usurp the throne.
However, Li Tai is still hesitating now, should he break up with them and start a war?
Currently, Datang's strength is relatively weak and its foundation is not yet solid.
If the war starts rashly, Datang will suffer heavy losses.
However, Li Tai could not tolerate the wanton behavior of these vassal kings and had to beat them to prevent them from becoming powerful.
That's why he summoned Muchuan over to discuss the matter.
Muchuan pondered for a moment and said: "Your Highness, how likely do you think these vassal kings are to unite to deal with you?"
Li Tai shook his head and said: "At present, it seems unlikely."
Muchuan said: "Then it will be easy for us, as long as we divide it into parts."
Li Tai frowned and said, "But what's the point of them doing this?"
Li Tai's head turned quickly and he instantly understood what Muchuan meant.
"Their target is actually His Majesty!"
Li Tai said.
"Yes."
Muchuan said: "Their target is the emperor."
Li Tai said: "They nominally want your life, but in fact they are telling His Majesty that they are not satisfied with His Majesty's enfeoffment. In other words, why should they allocate you in Luoyang and others in places where there is no oil and water?
What they do is simply to let His Majesty know that they are disobedient, make His Majesty jealous, and even directly weaken their strength."
Muchuan said: "Your Highness is wise.
However, you must remember that this kind of thing must not be made public, otherwise it will cause an uproar."
Li Tai nodded and said: "I know that my father will not let go of anyone who threatens his authority! But these people are a little too much. Li Zhi and the others dare not move, and they actually have my idea!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Mu, I'm ready."
Li Tai said calmly.
Now that he has decided, he must have regarded these feudal kings as a thorn in his side.
Muchuan was a little surprised. Is His Highness really sure?
He didn't know Li Tai's specific plan, so he couldn't ask more questions, so he said: "Your Highness is wise!"
Li Tai smiled slightly.
Then, Li Tai said: "Mr. Mu, I have a business deal to discuss with you."
"Your Highness, please speak!"
Muchuan Road.
Li Tai said: "To be honest, sir, I have a secret piece of information in my hand that will be of great use to the Tang Dynasty.
It is a pity that the king lacks a certain amount of money, but Mr. Mu is rich, so he will not be stingy with this money, right?"
"Your Highness, please speak!"
Muchuan said.
Li Tai said: "I know that Mr. Mu has hundreds of acres of farmland, and you also control hundreds of acres of steel plants in Luoyang. If you go to Youzhou to take up a post in the future, can you sell these places to me?"
This is Li Tai’s purpose!
Muchuan smiled and said: "Your Highness is really discerning, these are indeed the assets of a humble minister.
However, Wei Chen is unwilling to sell it."
Li Tai said: "Does Master Mu want to keep it moldy?"
Muchuan said: "No, Your Highness, these lands are the private property of minor ministers and cannot be sold."
Li Tai said: "I can buy it with gold and silver, or exchange it with other conditions."
"Your Highness, these lands are all my hard work, and I will not sell them."
Muchuan said insistently.
Li Tai said: "Mr. Mu, in this case, I still own the shares anyway, so let's put it aside for now! I will exchange it with Mr. Mu when I need it."
Li Tai is a smart man, and there is obviously a reason why Muchuan is so persistent. He will not change his original intention easily, so he chooses to put it aside for the time being.
…
At this time, there was another fierce conflict in the Chang'an court, and a group of old stubborns became very noisy.
Li Gang, the first assistant, said: "Everyone, our country has been in the Tang Dynasty for nearly twenty years, but it has been plagued by wars many times.
Although His Majesty has calmed down internal and external troubles, he is still in a difficult situation.
Now that there is war on the border again, we must not sit idly by and watch."
Wei Zheng, the Minister of Civil Service, said coldly: "Mr. Li Ge, are you encouraging troops to be stationed at the border?"
Wei Zheng and Li Gang had a long-standing grudge and disliked each other for a long time.
This time Wei Zheng objected, and Li Gang immediately stood up to express his support for Li Tai.
Li Gang said: "Your Majesty, Prince Qing is the only direct descendant of the Tang royal family in the north. If we don't unite together, how can we resist the barbarians?"
"snort!"
Wei Zheng said coldly: "If we are not united, then the barbarians will enter Luoyang, and then our Tang Dynasty will be in danger!"
, upset, shouted: "That's enough!"
Suddenly, the court became quiet.
"Prime Minister Changsun!"
Li Shimin shouted: "What do you think?"
Changsun Wuji cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Prince Qing to continue to guard Luoyang.
Wei Chen heard that the Turks had led 50,000 cavalry southward.
These 50,000 cavalry are enough to wipe out the entire Youzhou. If our army does not send reinforcements, I am afraid that we will lose everything."
"But Prince Qing has a cavalry in his hands. They are well-equipped, well-trained, and powerful in combat. They are far superior to ordinary infantry. They can ensure peace on the border of the Tang Dynasty."
A censor suddenly jumped out and said: "Besides, your majesty is getting older now, so you can't always drive and conquer in person.
If Prince Qing can lead the cavalry to attack and destroy the barbarians, it will be considered a great achievement."
Li Shimin stared at this man, his face uncertain, and finally said: "Since everyone has different opinions, I will leave this matter to you."
He paused and then said: "I have had many things happen since I came to the throne. It is the time for the court to employ people. I will reward whoever can make great contributions.
Don’t worry, I will never mistreat ministers who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty.”
"I obey the decree!"
Everyone bowed and said.
…
