"There are really people who go to bed."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xiao Han's head was full of black lines!
Even Li Shimin couldn't help but twitch his cheeks a few times, and pulled Xiao Han to the other side, paying no attention to the woman who was still howling non-stop while food was scattered on the floor.
As well as the Ouchi guards who rushed out of the room in embarrassment.
"Master Hou? Master Hou! Make the decision for us! If this thief dares to enter our village openly, there must be a leader..."
I admired the woman for being able to see Xiao Han sharply when she was crying, but after her voice passed, Xiao Han walked very quickly without being pulled by Li Shimin.
The two of them almost jogged all the way, from the center of Zhuangzi to the edge of Zhuangzi.
Here, there is a small earth slope. If you stand on the top of the slope, you can overlook most of Zhuangzi.
Xiao Han still remembers that a small outpost seemed to have been established here before. However, with the changes in Zhuangzi, the outpost has long since disappeared, and the soil slope has returned to its original bare appearance.
It was a little strange. Li Shimin, as a guest, seemed to know this place. He pulled Xiao Han and climbed up the slope with such skillful movements that Xiao Han rolled his eyes.
This guy definitely sneaked into his house more than once!
Aunt Hu's tiles were probably stepped on several times before they finally shattered today.
Otherwise, with the quality of the tiles produced by Xiaojiazhuangzi, it would be impossible for even one or two big men to step on them!
Xiao Han was still cursing secretly, but Li Shimin on the side was happily admiring the Xiaojiazhuangzi in front of him.
Xiaojiazhuangzi is really beautiful at night.
Unlike Chang'an, which turns pitch-black at night, almost every house here has lights on, and the streets where running water mats are set up are even brighter, like a long luminous dragon spanning the entire Zhuangzi.
"This is the most beautiful Zhuangzi in the world! It is also the most beautiful Zhuangzi in my mind."
Heaving a long sigh of relief, Li Shimin stood upright on the top of the slope facing the evening breeze.
The sky-blue clothes danced in the wind, coupled with the handsome face and the temperament of having been in a position of power for a long time. At this moment, Little Plum looked like an immortal in the sky, as if the next moment, he would transform into an immortal. Take a ride on the wind.
Compared with Li Zi, Xiao Han was wearing a bathrobe, revealing half of his hairy thighs, yawning constantly and rubbing his eyes. To say he looks like a monster is a bit flattering...
Well, to be more precise, it should be like a fairy’s mount...
"This is just a very ordinary Zhuangzi, not very good. If your Majesty is willing, you can make many Zhuangzi that are several times better than this one." Xiao Han yawned and casually agreed.
The jar of wine that had been tricked before had finally worked. Now that his head was blown by the night wind, he felt dizzy and spoke without thinking.
"Are you still blaming me?"
After listening to Xiao Han's casual remarks, Li Shimin suddenly frowned, hesitated, and asked softly.
"Blame you?" Xiao Han shook his head, and while he was still awake, he asked in confusion: "What do you blame me for?"
"What happened about Li Jing and the others this time was not my intention."
Li Shimin did not answer Xiao Han's words, and did not even look back. He just looked at Zhuangzi in front of him and sighed softly: "Although I also want to see more young faces in the court, I will not forget the achievements of the old ministers. , let alone obliterate it, I am just looking for a way, a stable way that is good for everyone."
After hearing this, Xiao Han fell silent.
He believes that Xiao Lizi does treat him as a friend, and what he says is indeed true!
The butt can really determine the head! This sentence has been confirmed countless times throughout the ages!
Farmers sitting in the fields only need to consider whether the crops in the fields are growing well, whether they will be enough to pay taxes after the autumn harvest, and whether they will be enough to feed their families.
The official sitting in the yamen has to consider the people under his command, the superior officer above his head, and the assessment given to him by the emperor and the court!
As for the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, what he has to consider is no longer such trivial matters as personal feelings, but the future of the entire world!
Datang needs to last for a long time, needs to be sustained, and needs to be passed down from generation to generation!
For this purpose, Xiao Lizi cannot only use those old ministers in the court! No matter how capable those veterans are, no matter how good they are at fighting, no matter how loyal they are, it won't work!
Zhuge Liang, are you loyal and capable? !
But once he died, what became of Shu? Poor Adou, in order to save himself and prevent the people from suffering, he could only do something stupid like "I am happy here but don't miss Shu", which will make people laugh at him for thousands of years!
But looking at it from another direction, what could Adou do besides this?
Carrying it on? With no generals and no soldiers, how long can he resist against Cao Wei's army?
So Li Shimin knew: He must find their successors in time while these veterans are still there! Then the old ministers were settled smoothly and smoothly, and the sequence of rights was finally realized.
It is difficult, very difficult to achieve this!
There are not only veterans who are obsessed with power, but also newcomers who are unbearable! What's more important is that Xiao Lizi himself can't take away this face and can't get rid of this!
If someone happens to jump out at this moment and do what the emperor wants to do, even if the method is a little ruthless, the most likely thing the emperor will do for the sake of the world is to silently accept it like Li Shimin does now!
"You can use the other instead..."
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Han suppressed the alcohol in his chest and suddenly asked with red eyes: "Can you tell me who this person is?"
"Hou Junji!" Li Shimin said the name without any hesitation.
"It's him!" When he heard this name, Xiao Han was a little surprised, but also a little relieved.
As a veteran who has been following Li Shimin since King Qin, Xiao Han cannot be unfamiliar with Hou Junji.
But compared with Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji and others, Xiao Han and Hou Junji still feel very strange to each other after they have known each other for so long!
This is not because Xiao Han knew that this guy was going to rebel in the future, so he drew clear boundaries in advance and cut off the good relationship.
After all, Xue Wanche was also beheaded for rebellion in later generations! But this did not prevent Xiao Han from becoming his first friend in the Tang Dynasty!
Among them, what really distinguishes Xiao Han from him is that this person is too scheming and utilitarian!
Li Jing, who is that? That was half of his master Hou Junji!
But now, in order to ascend to the throne, he could cruelly abandon his master! This alone makes Xiao Han unable to accept it!
Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, three things are achieved at once! If his subsequent rebellion had been dealt with in advance, this man would have all four!
Unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust!
Looking back now, Li Jing's dejected appearance in the military center during that period may not be due to his attachment to power, but more to his despair at betrayal.
