According to Li Shimin's usual thinking, no matter what Li Tai does, he always has high ambitions and low abilities. He has never done serious business in a down-to-earth manner.
Today's answer surprised Li Shimin. Has his son recently changed his gender? Is he really planning to start from the bottom? If so, that would be a good thing.
Among Li Shimin's sons, Li Tai's intelligence can be said to be top-notch, but he has never been able to use it in the right place, so Li Tai's development is not very great. Now if he suddenly wakes up, it will be
It's too late.
"Do you want to start from the bottom? Do you know how the officials at the bottom deal with it? When envoys from various countries come to our Datang, they need to be dealt with carefully. If you don't do well, you will be able to withstand them.
Roll your eyes?"
Although Li Shimin was very happy with Li Tai's change, he still had to test it out. He had to be more careful when dealing with foreign envoys. If Li Tai angered an envoy, it would be at stake.
relations between the two countries.
Although the comprehensive national power of the Tang Dynasty is strong now, it does not mean that you can do whatever you want. You must know that there are many countries around the Tang Dynasty. Li Xiang destroyed Goguryeo this time, which is indeed to enhance the prestige of our country. At the same time,
It also made other countries feel the crisis. They took advantage of this opportunity to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty and began to connect in private. Li Shimin had received the exact news. If Li Tai offended more people, then
It's like adding a catalyst to them.
"Please rest assured, Father, I know what to do. In the past, I always lived in ambiguity. Now I have gained a lot of insights. Although it is a bit difficult to rise from below, I am still very confident."
Li Tai vowed that this guy has not been idle during this period. He has reviewed all kinds of things in the past. He also knows that his chances are running out, especially after Li Xiang destroyed Goguryeo.
Almost all the court ministers sided with Li Xiang. What he needs now is a shining point. Even if it is too late to start doing something now, it is much better than doing nothing.
Li Shimin stared at Li Tai for a long time, making Li Tai feel a little scared. Li Shimin also wanted to see clearly what his son was thinking, but in the end he couldn't see it. However, as the emperor's son, he is better than others.
There are more opportunities. Even if you did something wrong before, as long as your father is willing to nod, you can start over again. This is the advantage of being a member of the royal family.
"Then you go back and make good preparations. You will take up your post in two days. You will start as a sixth-grade doctor."
For a prince to become a sixth-rank official, it can be said that the starting point is a bit low. If the emperor's grandson starts from the sixth-rank official, the starting point is a bit high.
Li Tai is not an ordinary prince. He was a prince who once dominated the imperial court. The number of ministers under him was not a small number. Now that he was asked to be a sixth-rank official, Li Shimin thought Li Tai would be dissatisfied at first, but he did not expect that he would be dissatisfied.
This guy kowtowed respectfully and then went back to prepare.
"What do you think Qingque is thinking?"
Li Shimin waved his hand, and two men in black came out from the side. These two people can be regarded as Li Shimin's right-hand men, but they are different from the ministers in the court. These two people have always lived in darkness, but if it is said that for the ministers of the court
Of control, these two are definitely the most powerful.
"His Royal Highness King Wei should be aware of the current difficulties. For a prince who cannot inherit the throne, his future position will be extremely embarrassing. If he has never competed for the throne, he will still be a stable prince, but if he has ever competed for the throne, he will be a stable prince.
If you pass the throne, then..."
The man in black did not finish what he said, but Li Shimin also understood very well that if you have never competed for the throne, then the emperor will regard you as a brother. No matter how much you fool around, you are still the emperor's. As long as the brothers are not killing people and setting fires on the streets, they will be treated as brothers.
Basically, your old age is guaranteed, and your descendants, including your descendants, will be able to live a good life.
But if you had fought for the throne, then the friendship between you brothers would be gone. From the moment you stood up to fight for the throne, your struggle was extremely cruel, so now Li Tai has no way out, he must
Let’s continue to rebuild the country.
The man in black didn't say a word, saying that Li Tai was following the path of Li Jiancheng, which would be a failure no matter how he followed it, and that Li Xiang was following the path of Li Shimin, who took the military power in his own hands, no matter how he took it.
No matter how the situation changes in the court, in the end it is you who wins.
"Send someone to watch this location carefully. It is different from other locations. You must not go the wrong way."
Li Shimin said cautiously, and the two men under his command glanced at each other. They also understood what it meant not to take the wrong path. They were not afraid that Li Tai would offend foreign envoys, but were afraid that Li Tai would collude with foreigners. Once he did,
If such a thing happened, even if Li Shimin wanted to save his life, the civil and military officials of the court would not be able to spare him.
Outside Chang'an City.
The people who should gather have already gathered. The county magistrate of Chang'an City also sent his people to the official road. The court specially sent a large truck to transport them. The traffic situation in this era was not very good. If the people were allowed to go to Goguryeo on their own
If so, it might take a year or two to go, and many of them have never even been out of Chang'an City. If they are asked to go to such a far place, who knows where they will end up in the middle.
So in order to save time and avoid so many problems, Li Xiang has already written to the court, asking the court to prepare a large number of four-wheeled carriages to transport all these people there. Although it may cost money temporarily, but when the time comes
When there is a good harvest next year, the court will earn back double the money.
Of course Li Shimin understood the power of Li Xiang's strategy. If he wanted to completely take over Goguryeo, he must have our talents. This was the farming policy back then, but now this policy is implemented on other people's land.
"Which car is this today?"
Cui Yunzhu, the magistrate of Chang'an County, has done nothing else these days. He has been busy with this matter. There are not many cars left behind the matter, but there are still many people waiting to leave. It seems that these people will have to come over tomorrow. Chang'an
The city can't afford that many cars.
As for other state capitals and counties, they have even fewer four-wheeled carriages...
