When Li Chengqian saw the expressions of the two of them, he smiled and said: "I know that you are concerned about my safety, so I feel very relieved. Now the Sixth Army of the East Palace has begun to reorganize, and it won't take long to start training. Wei Gong promised me that,
In just one year, the Sixth Army of the East Palace will become the leading presence in the army of the Tang Dynasty. By then, not to mention mere shameful assassination methods, even if they launch an army to attack the East Palace, they will be fully capable of protecting themselves."
Since the command of the Sixth Commander of the East Palace returned to the East Palace, Li Chengqian has been very high-spirited and ambitious.
On the one hand, the East Palace has its own armed forces, and will no longer be suppressed in the struggle, and its waist is not as strong as usual; on the other hand, it can be seen from the return of Liu Sui to the East Palace that the father still supports the pheasant slaves in the fight for the throne.
, but the perception of him as the prince is no longer as resistant and disappointing as before.
For Li Chengqian, this was a major victory, and the deeper changes it meant made him ecstatic.
In a sense, the six rates in the East Palace represent the stable status of the prince.
Fang Jun was relieved. Although Li Chengqian still didn't pay enough attention to the Guanlong nobles, with the Crown Princess constantly urging and reminding him, there should be no major oversights in safety.
Although the Guanlong nobles have a profound foundation, after all, their strength has suffered serious losses since the end of the Sui Dynasty. They have developed since entering the Tang Dynasty. After His Majesty Li Er took office, he suppressed them and their strength shrank again.
As long as the measures are taken properly and taken seriously, the Guanlong nobles may not be able to accomplish anything earth-shattering...
Crown Princess Su's expression was gentle, but her tone was a bit complaining, and she said softly: "Your Highness, please don't take it lightly. The stability of the empire you are now involved in is not only your own business, but also the family and friends around you.
, and all the ministers who have unswervingly supported you. So how can you be so rash and betray the trust of all those who support you?"
Li Chengqian's face was solemn, he nodded and said, "You are careless."
He is a weak person, not so sharp and domineering, but he can listen to the opinions of others anytime and anywhere. He is never willful and does not feel that he is always right. He will make timely adjustments based on other people's reminders.
It can't be said to be open-minded, but more of a lack of confidence, but no matter what, it can be considered an advantage.
Although those emperors in history who were ambitious and determined were able to achieve great things, they often took a turn for the worse in their later years. Their brains were blinded and they made all the wrong decisions that they regretted. This not only damaged their reputation throughout their lives, but also led to
The country is in turmoil and the government is unstable.
At present, the Tang Dynasty is embarking on a road of rapid development. With the national policy designated by His Majesty Li Er, there is no need for Li Chengqian to make any reforms. Sticking to the rules will get a good result. And although Zhenguan Dynasty could not be said to be "public"
"Zhengying Dynasty", but there are also many famous officials, and Li Chengqian will inherit the rule in the future. As long as he can stick to the inconvenient path of His Majesty Li Er and continue to suppress and control the powerful families, the Tang Dynasty will achieve breakthrough development.
Surpassing the Qin and Han Dynasties in one fell swoop is just around the corner.
And if Li Chengqian is stubborn and wants to break through the shackles of His Majesty Li Er to break into a new world and arbitrarily alter national policies, it is very likely that the accumulation in the early period of Zhenguan will be destroyed, the entire empire will be plunged into turmoil, and the prosperous age will be far away.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty seemed to have great talents and military virtues, and created countless political achievements that will go down in history. But if he was just a conservative king, guarding the situation created by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, how could his rich national power ruin the Sui Dynasty and lead to war in the world?
With the outbreak happening everywhere, hundreds of millions of people are in dire straits?
Not to mention the loss of countless national resources in the civil war, there were 8.9 million households in the country during the Sui Dynasty's Daye Five Years alone. As a result, by the Tang Dynasty's Wude Period, there were only more than two million households left.
Of course, there are people who have lost their household registration due to the war and cannot be counted, but it is certain that the population has dropped by half.
In this way, how to discuss the merits and demerits of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty?
If it is said that his merits outweigh his faults, I am afraid that the people of Li who lost their lives in the war will not be the first to agree...
*****
The inner house of the house.
When Wu Meiniang came back from the dock and told her sisters the news she had heard about the "War in the Royal Study Room", Princess Gaoyang, Xiao Shuer, and Jin Shengman were stunned.
Do you even dare to fight Zhang Sun Wuji?
I'm afraid this guy is going to heaven...
Jin Shengman was a princess of Silla. She had only been in the Tang Dynasty for a short period of time, and she had not yet understood how powerful Changsun Wuji was. Princess Gaoyang was born in the royal family, and Xiao Shuer was a lady from a famous family. She had been influenced by it since she was a child, and she had long been familiar with "the first hero of Zhenguan".
"The image of him was deeply rooted in his heart. Even though his husband had damaged Changsun Wuji's face time and time again, he never diminished his respect for this once most powerful official in the Tang Dynasty.
And now, I was actually beaten by my husband in front of the emperor...
Princess Gao Yang covered her face with her hands and said angrily: "Is this man so brave after eating a bear's heart? He even dares to beat Zhao Guogong, he is so tired! Even if his father is partial to him, it is Zhao Guogong after all! I'm afraid this
There is no way to escape the punishment for a while, and you have to be demoted and dismissed from office."
Although the Guanlong nobles are not as good as before, they are still a force that cannot be ignored in the court. Their leader was beaten in front of the emperor, how can they let it go?
As long as they protest in groups, my father will have to deal with Fang Jun.
Otherwise, if the Guanlong nobles start a quarrel, it will inevitably lead to turmoil in the court. At this critical moment of the Eastern Expedition, my father must endure it...
Wu Meiniang doesn't think so.
Kneeling on the floor mat, he reached out and picked up a piece of snack from the plate on the coffee table, put it to his lips, took a small bite, and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Your Majesty has always been wise and powerful. You should understand that if you are blindly humble to the Guanlong nobles,
, will definitely increase their prestige. When His Majesty leaves Chang'an with his own expedition, these people may stir up trouble. If we take this opportunity to beat the Guanlong nobles, they may feel the pressure of the emperor and become more honest.
, don’t dare to act arbitrarily.”
Princess Gaoyang thought for a while and felt that Wu Meiniang's words had some truth. Besides, she had always believed in Wu Meiniang. Even Fang Jun, Fang Xuanling and his son would sometimes take the initiative to ask Wu Meiniang's opinions on some issues of the court and pay attention to them. Their knowledge was naturally better than that of Wu Meiniang.
I am deeper.
But he still complained: "So what? My father can be suppressed for a while, but he can't be suppressed for a lifetime. Duke Zhao is the most narrow-minded, and he must retaliate. He has been secretly assassinated several times before. Looking back on this, he must have to be the general."
You are put to death! What is he doing so impulsively? He is just a stick!"
This time Wu Meiniang also frowned, feeling that Princess Gaoyang's worries were justified.
Then he sighed softly and said: "Lang Jun is not a reckless person. Since he beat Zhao Guogong, there must be a reason why he had to fight. Now that the matter has come to this, we must be more careful when entering and leaving in the future, otherwise the nobles of Guanlong will take advantage of it.
, the consequences would be disastrous. But having said that, how could your Majesty not be on guard? He will surely respond and protect Mr. Lang."
Princess Gaoyang frowned deeply and sighed: "Even if my father is determined to protect my husband, he can't keep an eye on Duke Zhao all day long, right?"
Wu Meiniang said: "That's not necessarily the case. If we take Duke Zhao to Liaodong, wouldn't it be solved? As long as Duke Zhao is not in Chang'an, which of the other Guanlong nobles would dare to assassinate Lang Jun secretly? Even if they dare, they may not have the ability.
"
…
The two discussed the situation in low voices, while Xiao Shuer and Jin Shengman were just worried about Fang Jun.
Jin Shengman saw Xiao Shuer's beautiful and worried face, so he sat next to her, stretched out his hand to touch her belly, and said softly: "No need to worry, Mr. Lang is a great man in the world, how can he not be able to deal with such things? You are heavy.
, don’t worry about getting angry, don’t worry about these things, if something goes wrong, it will be terrible.”
Xiao Shuer nodded, but her expression was not much relieved. After thinking for a while, she suddenly looked up at Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang and said, "I don't plan to go to Jiangnan anymore."
Everyone was stunned.
During the Chinese New Year, the family had already made arrangements. When spring begins, Fang Yi will go directly to Japan. Fang Yi will go to Huating Town first, and then will go to the area around the mouth of Tone River in Japan to build the Fang family's overseas base. Xiao Shuer
Then we will go south together.
Fang Jun did not explain the reason, but his wives and concubines could feel his sense of urgency and felt that something big was about to happen.
At this moment, Xiao Shu'er suddenly didn't want to go to Jiangnan...
