Chapter fifty-seven less than one person

Puzhou military camp, central army commander's tent.

Li Shimin gathered Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Lu Deming, Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan, Yao Silian, Cai Yungong, Yan Xiangshi, and Yu Zhining, among the eighteen bachelors, to hold a small discussion meeting to discuss political current affairs. This is also the most common thing Li Shimin has done in recent years.

Li Shimin was born into a general and learned military strategies, martial arts and archery since childhood, which is considered a masterpiece, but he only knows the basics and does not understand the three flavors. Therefore, he is very popular in the military and is deeply loved by the soldiers, and even does not hesitate to repay him with death. However, he feels like he is restrained in the court, especially in his behavior, he is even more unrestrained and often offends people.

For example, Li Yuan's two most beloved concubines, Concubine Yin De, Concubine Zhang Jieyu, and Li Shimin, offended them miserably because of their immature political means and their stubborn temper.

Li Shimin obviously cannot compare with Li Jiancheng's sleekness and sophistication. Li Jiancheng will not be stingy with any object that is beneficial to him. He has long seen that Concubine Yin De and Concubine Zhang Jieyu have a huge potential power. As women around the emperor, their abilities are not calculated based on common sense. These two people have the same advantage as big and brainless, beautiful, and simple minds. As long as you please and give some gifts or something, at critical moments, you can say a few good words, and the effect needs to be said without saying it.

And what about Li Shimin!

When Li Shimin defeated Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong, he had a position in the position of Daxingtai, Shaanxi. This position was so powerful that he could fully handle everything in the Central Plains: including the appointment of local officials, the division of land, etc., and he became the invisible "King of Central Plains".

Li Shimin never treated his younger brother who conquered the world with him. He used his identity as the "King of the Central Plains" to make a small profit for personal gain, and gave him a lot of land and wealth to his younger brother.

Because Li Shimin captured Luoyang City, the Dongdu where Yang Guang gathered wealth in the past, there were countless rare treasures in it. Women are most interested in rare treasures. Concubine Yin De and Concubine Zhang Jie joined forces with a vote of concubines in the palace, secretly and openly demanded a share of the pie.

If it were the mature Li Jiancheng, he would definitely not say anything. But Li Shimin had a dark face and refused to give it to a group of women who had not made any achievements. Why should he be rewarded? Well, the concubines had no choice but to settle for the second best, and they had established so many vacancies. They arranged official positions for my relatives, so they could only do so. They could not harm the people if they rely on women to be officials.

He offended the emperor's woman so much. Later, Zhang Jieyu's father fell in love with a treasure land in Luoyang and stopped looking for Li Shimin. You little kid, I am your stepmother after all. If you don't give face, I will go find you.

Li Yuan was originally a person who couldn't stand the wind by his pillow. When Zhang Jieyu blew softly, he felt soft. Not to mention the land, even the stars in the sky had to be picked off.

As a result, Li Yuan's handwriting was not because he was arrogant, but because he had already rewarded the land to his meritorious subordinates. With a stubborn nature, the emperor's orders were useless. As a result, Li Yuan and the entire (later) palace group were strongly dissatisfied with Li Shimin.

There are also many similar things for Liu Wenjing and Li Yuan’s first confidant Pei Ji, the first minister of Li Tang, etc., and many people offended, but Li Shimin didn’t care.

Of course, this refers to the Qin King who fought for the Li Tang Dynasty, and not Li Shimin who is now aiming at the position of prince.

Li Shimin is a practical person, and he doesn't think about anything illusory. At first, the crown prince's position was 108,000 miles away from him. Li Shimin didn't have that much thought during this period. He did his own way, and he was the Prince of De and the powerful minister. I am the King of Qin, and the emperor's son is afraid of you?

But as the military achievements become more and more, the reputation becomes higher and louder, Li Shimin gradually discovered that the position of the prince was not as far away as he imagined...

So...

Li Shimin changed his previous style and began to make up for his political skills and learn how to govern the world. With the help of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, he established a literary museum, recruited the most famous scholars, and created an eighteen bachelor. The eighteen bachelors did not discuss literary allusions from ancient and modern times, and also were not elegant and civilized people who were good at writing and writing. When they got together, they were talking about current politics and how to govern the world well. Why was the purpose of Sima Zhao's heart?

Li Shimin also knew that he was not as good as Li Jiancheng in government affairs, so he had a discussion meeting with the bachelor's degree in the Literature Museum if he had any questions.

It’s okay if there is something, and it’s really okay if there is something!

Just as Luo Shixin said, Jie Li's 150,000 troops entered the country just pretended to be stunning and scaring Li Tang, let Li Tang see the power of the Turks, and let Li Tang obediently and use money to buy peace.

Li Shimin's army rushed to Puzhou in a mighty manner, more than a hundred miles away from Jie Li's Turkic army. Jie Li was panicked. Unexpectedly, Li Tang really dared to fight them with great fanfare. He was not prepared for a decisive battle. With a shout, the 140,000 army retreated to the frontier in shame.

Although Li Shimin thought Luo Shixin's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, he thought that the Turks were so busy that they would have to have a face-to-face contact and then retreat. He never thought that Jie Li would leave like this, leaving without a cloud.

In desperation, Li Shimin had to take it as a tour and continue to study politics with the bachelor's degree in the Literature Museum.

This time they were discussing the "convention on moving the capital".

Because of this massive invasion of the Turks, a trend of moving capital emerged in the Li Tang Dynasty, indicating that Chang'an is too close to the Turks to escape and should avoid it to protect itself. Give up the capital of Chang'an and choose a place away from the Turks to become the capital of the Li Tang Dynasty.

If it were the original Li Shimin, most of the people who said this would make him scold him in a slight manner, but now he chose to discuss with his advisers and learn from their opinions to prepare for the first time.

"Your Highness, Princess Pingyang, send a good news!"

When the discussion was about to end, Li Shimin suddenly heard the news from Hebei and said to everyone with a smile: "There is a good news again, and the second sister of the Gu Wang is still like that in the past." He stopped the topic and asked someone to send the good news.

"On October 21, Luo Shixin, deputy chief of the marching, lured the Turks to attack Yizhou, and joined forces with Xue Wanjun to defeat the Turks, Shi Jinde Wenfu, and wiped out all the troops in Yizhou. They were completely wiped out. After one battle, the Hebei Turks were quelled."

Li Shimin recited the battle report without any hesitation, and bursts of exclamations came from all around him.

The Turks have invaded many times, but they always have to kill three or five hundred people even if they win, and they have never had such a great victory.
