Chapter 168: The words are not rough
Li Yuan was very angry at first. He did not deny that what Luo Shixin said made sense, but threatening to kill people in the court hall touched his bottom line. However, when Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng stood up, their displeasure was eliminated.
Both sons supported Luo Shixin in this regard. How angry was he as his father? So he stopped pursuing it.
It has to be said that Li Yuan’s desire to protect his calf is indeed rare in the world.
"There is no need to say anything about this matter. Just kill the Xi tribe. What's the fear of my Tang Dynasty?" Li Yuan waved his hand, indicating that the matter came to an end, and then said: "The General of the Tianjie Army has been leaving office for many days, and has not had a suitable candidate. The 12 Army of Guanzhong is the foundation for the establishment of our country. As one of them, Tianjie Army is extremely important. Luo Shixin, the General of the Right Guard, is famous and shocked the north, and he also mastered the method of training troops. He created the Modao Army as a powerful weapon to defeat the cavalry. I have allowed you to govern the Tianjie Army with your own identity and be responsible for the training of the Tianjie Army. It is necessary to train the Tianjie Army into a powerful brigade that can confront the Turkic cavalry head-on."
He has been considering this issue these days, because Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's cunning far surpassed his father. So he has not yet realized that his two sons whom he loves and values are being deployed to prepare for the position of crown prince. He only considered the proposal of his two sons one-sidedly: Li Jiancheng intended to defend the border with Luo Shixin's military ability and regard him as a mobile Great Wall; while Li Shimin intended to train a strong brigade against Turkic cavalry with Luo Shixin's military training ability.
Both of them made sense, and Li Yuan was puzzled. He even thought more than once that it would be great if Luo Shixin could be chopped into two halves and used them separately. However, with Li Jiancheng's efforts, Li Yuan still tended to transfer Luo Shixin to the front line to guard one side and become a general in the border control. Because Li Jiancheng was responsible for the important task of border defense, he also wanted Li Jiancheng to achieve some beautiful achievements, so as not to have too big and disproportionate differences in military achievements between the eldest and the second.
But after today's incident, he changed his original idea and felt that Luo Shixin was too good to cause trouble and was too casual. If he left him alone, he might have caused some big trouble as Yin Defei said, and he would have to wipe his butt. Although he didn't want to, he knew in his heart that if Pingyang asked him for help, he would not be able to refuse anyway. He simply arranged for him to train troops so that he would not cause any trouble.
Luo Shixin was very surprised, but with the mentality of being able to work harder, he took the order loudly.
Upon hearing this news, Li Yi was dazed and fainted in the court.
Li Jiancheng looked helpless, because Li Yi's thrust into the air, something happened again. Looking at Li Yi who was carried out, he thought, "If this Li Yi had half of Luo Shixin, no, one-third of his ability, why would I be so troublesome?" Thinking of the wise and brave figures under Li Shimin, I also felt a little envy in my heart.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan gave Luo Shixin many rewards, increased his fief and made a big fortune in gold, silver, silk and satin.
Although Luo Shixin was not promoted, his real power increased by more than a little. The following people, Su Dingfang, Xue Yong, Mo Huer, Lei Yongji, Zhang Pinggao, and Lu Junyan, all received corresponding rewards.
In order to encourage soldiers, the Tang Dynasty was not stingy with rewards for military achievements.
All the generals were smiling happily.

Dengzhou, Yantai Port.
A giant sea boat slowly landed on the dock. A young man threw the huge anchor weighing 100 kilograms into the water with one hand and shouted to the cabin: "Master, Master, you have arrived at the port and you can get off the boat." He jumped, three meters apart, as if nothing had happened, and steadily jumped on the dock, took a thick rope to fix the sea boat.
"Haha! I know, come here!" A burst of laughter came from the cabin first, and then a loud and heroic voice sounded. The sound was as thunderous as the ears, full of energy.
A middle-aged man with a red face strode out. His face was extremely ugly, and he could be compared with Li Yuanji. But what is unique is that Li Yuanji has a strong aura. Combined with his ugly appearance, he has a sense of being a butcher, making people unable to stay on his face for a long time.
This middle-aged man is different. His extremely ugly facial features and a big beard look on his face actually have a sense of majesty and heroic feeling. He is ugly, but he gives people a charming and contradictory feeling.
The middle-aged man stretched his muscles and walked up to the dock with a stairs, stomped his feet, and took a deep breath and said, "I have been away for many years and have stepped onto this land again. It's a different feeling, a different feeling!" He said, but glanced forward.
More than twenty people in ragged clothes were forced to them with harpoons and hoes.
A hint of excitement flashed in the young man's eyes and he whispered: "Master, please let the disciple come, let the disciple come. One disciple can beat them thirty."
The big slap of a palm fan lined up on the young man's head, and the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Get out."
The middle-aged man strode towards the people and bowed politely: "You are right. The merchants from Xia Nai Fuyu are here to buy some supplies. They need to stay in Guizhou for a while. I wonder what are the rules here?"
A slightly burly barefoot fisherman across the street stepped forward and walked forward: "Here, this pier is our territory, give us taxes...we let you dock."
The middle-aged man nodded and smiled, "This is for granted, but we don't have the coins of your Tang Dynasty, so it's useless to give them to you. There are some rice and cloths. If you can, how do you think it is used to replace them?"
The barefoot fisherman's eyes showed ecstasy and shouted, "Yes, you, you can't regret your words."
The middle-aged man said, "I have always said one thing, and since I say something, I will never regret it." As he said, he turned around and shouted, "Zhang Bao, get on the ship and take out all the food and cloth on our ship..."
The young man named Zhang Bao was about to argue, but the middle-aged man's eyes widened. Zhang Bao's words fell into his throat and forced himself to press down, stomped his feet, and returned to the cabin.
Under the order of the middle-aged man, the first bare-shaped sailors emerged from the cabin, wearing sharp weapons, carrying two large sacks on their backs, and jumped off the dock from the ship as fast as flying.
Seeing this, the people in ragged clothes couldn't help but take a step back.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You have all these foods and cloths. If you live, there will be hope."
The barefoot fisherman knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes and kowtowed respectfully. Although the Tang Dynasty unified the world, it had been fighting for years. In this most remote area, there were many people who could not eat. Because of the hardship of life, the barefoot fisherman had to gather refugees in the village to make things difficult for the vendors and ask for some money to make a living.
But today I met a noble man.
