Li Tai was scared.
Based on his status and past experience in competing for the throne, generally speaking, he should be the first person to be cut off after the new emperor ascends the throne and secures the throne. If he commits a heinous crime or is infected with a violent disease, he will definitely die.
Li Chengqian treated his brothers with kindness and kindness. He reassured the brothers early on that they would not have any suspicion and fear, and allowed the brothers to relax and live a good life. This was a great blessing for all the Taizong disciples, but it cannot be said that they really had nothing to worry about.
The inheritance of the throne has always been the most cruel thing, and there is almost no reason for family ties. Now Li Chengqian feels that his brothers are not a threat, so he is willing to show mercy and is unwilling to cause harm. But what if he suddenly feels threatened tomorrow?
Li Tai is an extremely smart person. At first, he felt that there was no hope of fighting for the heirloom, so he decisively gave up this unrealistic fantasy, so now he naturally keeps a low profile and keeps a low profile. It would be best if everyone in the world forgets his existence. This is the safest way. of.
As a result, I was sitting at home, and disaster came from the sky. I was actually recommended by Fang Jun to go to Luoyang to serve as Luoyang's left-behind...
Doesn't this mean that he should be put up in front of all the rebellious officials and traitors who are dissatisfied with Li Chengqian's accession to the throne and hope to overthrow Li Chengqian in order to usurp the throne?
So after hearing this, I was shocked and angry. I quickly found Fang Jun and tried to make him go to Li Chengqian and recommend others to pick him out...
Fang Jun didn't take it seriously. He ate mutton and vegetables, raised his glass and drank a glass of wine. He asked: "It seems that His Highness has lived a good life in Tai Chi Palace these days. He plans to live like this for the rest of his life." A day that feels like a prison?"
Li Tai drank, choked, and said angrily: "But that can't be the target of public criticism, right?"
Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was different from Chang'an in the Han Dynasty.
It would be better to die...
The army in Guanzhong cannot be trusted. After all, the Guanlong clan has shared weal and woe for hundreds of years and is deeply involved. There is me among you and you among me. It is difficult to have a clear and clear definition. No one knows which soldier was born from a civilian. Secretly, he is under the control of the powerful family. When the time comes, someone lurks around him and suddenly takes action. How can he escape?
Fang Jun’s navy is more reliable...
As the empire grew more and more prosperous, more and more people would naturally flow into Chang'an, and the pressure on water transportation would increase. Therefore, no matter what method was adopted, the final result would be food shortages.
Each battalion has five teams, and each team has three groups. Each group has five captains, and each group has ten men.
And the struggle for imperial power will never stop. It is impossible to clean up the clan inside and outside in less than ten or twenty years. Does he have to stay in Taiji Palace for twenty years?
A group of fifty people are all well-equipped and well-trained naval musketeers. When arrayed to defend against the enemy, even hundreds of people cannot shake them.
As long as there is a slight possibility, who wants to be imprisoned like a pig or a dog?
Even if you can't be an emperor, the world is huge and your life is long. You have to do something you like. Otherwise, what's the use of living a hundred years in vain?
Of course, it’s great to do what you like, but safety must come first...
Fang Jun couldn't help but ridicule: "I think back then, His Highness King Wei was so ambitious and so angry that he never paid attention to the heroes of the world. I didn't expect that today, he is so greedy for life and afraid of death. Even a trivial thing can scare His Highness out of his mind." , Heartbroken, really sad.”
Sooner or later, he will leave the palace.
After finishing the pot of wine, Li Tai was in a state of high spirits, so he opened another jar of wine. The soldiers on the side quickly stepped forward to hold the wine jar, poured it into the flask, and poured wine for the two of them.
Li Tai was drunk with wine and waved his soldiers away. There were no outsiders in the city tower. Then he asked with some dissatisfaction: "You just come here as a random person. Anyway, Emperor Taizong couldn't control you at that time, but you can't drag it out with Changle like this." Are you dragging it on? I tell you, our brothers have been dissatisfied with you for a long time, and you have to give an explanation!"
Fang Jun nodded and put some meat into the hot pot: "In that case, I will advise your Majesty later on to find someone else, Li You, Li Zhen, or even Li Min or Li Yun. Anyway, what your Majesty wants is to ask for someone else." The people of the world show a brotherly and respectful attitude, and other people can be responsible for the specific construction of Luoyang."
Under the current military system, there are 634 military offices in various provinces, prefectures and counties in the country. They are collectively called Zhechong Mansion. They are divided into upper, middle and lower grades according to the size of the establishment. The chief of the government is Zhechong Duwei, and the deputy chiefs are left and right. Captain Guoyi had a battalion under his government, a military officer, a team under the regiment, and a team leader, and a team leader under the team.
What's more, the fight for the heir apparent was tacitly approved by Emperor Taizong. Who would dare to do anything against him?
Now the situation is completely different. I don't know how many people want to kill him and put the blame on Li Chengqian. As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge hidden arrows and it is difficult to prevent them. If he is accidentally succeeded by a thief, wouldn't he be unjust?
The two clinked glasses and drank. Fang Jun nodded and said: "Since His Highness is so timid, how can I stand by and watch? Ten gunboats were mobilized to anchor at Mengjin Ferry, and a group of musketeers accompanied His Highness to protect His Highness together with His Royal Guards. Safety, how about it?”
"No matter what, we still have to face this wave of disasters. Maybe I am lucky enough to turn disaster into good luck?" After pondering for a long time, Li Tai finally made a decision. He saw Fang Jun eating, drinking and sweating profusely across the way. Dripping, he suddenly felt dissatisfied and complained: "What the hell idea did you come up with? It is not a good idea to develop the two capitals at the same time. If Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty had been stationed in Guanzhong, he might not have been in the troubled times that the world was full of. The Sui Dynasty was ruined."
Now, he really couldn't stand this confinement for one more day, but he was a little timid and fearful when he was allowed to leave the palace to face life and death. But the question is, even if he is willing to stay in Tai Chi Palace for the rest of his life, can Your Majesty let him stay?
Fang Jun swallowed the mutton in his mouth, picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped his sweat, and said disapprovingly: "Not to mention that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not dare to stay in Guanzhong at all, for fear that the Guanlong clan might usurp the throne in the middle of the night. Now, with the post-war reconstruction and the transfer of officials from all over the world to supplement the central government, a period of population explosion will inevitably follow. Guanzhong has been overwhelmed, and water transportation cannot keep up. Another capital has to be opened to share the pressure of Chang'an. , it is imperative to build Luoyang."
When the Han Dynasty was at its peak, the population of Chang'an City was 300,000. Adding in the people who migrated from the surrounding areas due to the "Lingyi System", the total number should be close to one million; but now the registered population of Chang'an City alone has reached A huge number of one million, plus the surrounding population and floating population, the total is close to two million.
Among the princesses of Taizong, Princess Changle, as the eldest daughter, has a very transcendent status. It is common for the emperor's children to have conflicts due to interests, but no one has ever said anything bad about Princess Changle. Several brothers and sisters care about her, and all the brothers and sisters respect and love her. When Emperor Taizong was alive, the only people who could persuade him when he was angry were Changle and Jinyang. While he was in love with Jinyang, he had some respect for Changle.
During the Han Dynasty, Guanzhong had abundant water, fertile soil, and high grain output. However, after seven or eight hundred years of farming and development, the soil in Guanzhong has gradually become barren, and the grain produced can only supply a small portion of the population. , most of the food depends on water transportation.
Outside the window, the north wind howled and snow fell, but inside the city tower it was as warm as spring and the hot pot was boiling. The two of them had a bite of meat, a bite of vegetables and a sip of wine in the hot pot, wiping their sweat and enjoying themselves.
Only then did Wei King Li Tai turn his worries into joy, and took the initiative to toast Fang Jun and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the fear of death, I would really want to serve as the Luoyang guard. The two cities of Daxing and Luoyang were built by General Daxing of the Sui Dynasty. The craftsman Yu Wenkai has exquisite designs and rigorous structures, which can be said to be a model of city construction in the world. I pride myself on being proficient in architectural knowledge and have studied architecture. The palace also has Yu Wenkai's "Illustrated Records of the Eastern Capital" in his collection. "Mingtang Tuyi" and other books, now that I have the opportunity to apply what I have learned, it will be a joy in life."
Since the King of Jin launched his army, everyone in the Palace of Wei has been brought into the palace, and they have not left the palace until now. Whether His Majesty is guarding against him or protecting him, in short, this state is like a prison. But the problem is that even if you lose your personal freedom, if you want to have a drink with Fang Jun, you have to stay inside the inner gate tower, but it's safe!
Li Tai ignored the exaggerated words of this guy and said helplessly: "At this time and at that time, I had great ambitions in my heart and understood that to gain something, I have to pay something, let alone such a difficult road. He overcame all obstacles and moved forward without any regrets. But now he only wants to live in peace, and if he can live his life comfortably and get what he wants, how can he be willing to take risks that he doesn't need to take? "
Li Tai also knew that things must not be violated. He looked at Fang Jun and said solemnly: "It's okay to let me go to Luoyang, but you have to dispatch a team of navy to station on the Yellow River outside Luoyang City, with more than ten or twenty sailors. There are several ships lying on the bank of the Yellow River. Luoyang can provide reinforcements at any time if there is any trouble. If the king is in trouble, he can quickly go there to avoid disaster. We must ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Going to Luoyang to “eat” is inevitable.
Li Tai struggled for a long time, took another sip of wine, sighed, and said: "Let me think about it again..."
That's right, the talented and resourceful His Majesty Li Er actually has the emotion of "respect" for his eldest daughter. This shows the status of Princess Changle...
Fang Jun was speechless: "What do you want to tell me? As long as the royal family allows it, I will immediately marry His Highness Chang Le."
It's not that he doesn't want to give Princess Changle a title. On the one hand, Princess Changle feels embarrassed and doesn't want to, and the clan doesn't allow the two princesses to serve the same husband. It doesn't matter secretly, but openly. Absolutely not.
Li Tai was extremely dissatisfied and glared angrily: "You are a man. Since you have provoked me, you naturally have to find a way to deal with it! Besides, what's going on in Jinyang?"
Fang Jun clicked his tongue, feeling that he was wronged.
