As soon as Li Shimin opened his mouth, he set a tone for this matter.
But when he said he had an idea.
Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Changsun Wuji had an idea in their minds. Your Majesty, when you have an idea, you want to trick His Highness.
Li Ke didn't stop his father, he just wanted to fight, nothing else mattered.
"It's very simple. Tomorrow, the monk of Menxia Province will write an edict to seal Yunnan Prefecture, Guizhou Prefecture, Guangxi Prefecture, Guangdong Prefecture, Luzon Prefecture, etc. to Li Ke. Because it involves tasks such as the development of Nanyang, the navy is waiting for this. Several states are temporarily under Li Ke's jurisdiction and leadership, and Li Ke is responsible for all external communications and will not affect the decisions of the Tang Dynasty court."
"And Li Ke has the right to make his own decision. After all, strictly speaking, we used troops in Nanyang before, so it makes sense."
"According to the content of the edict, it is said that the original Lingnan Road was under the command of Li Ke. Later, after the reform of Lingnan Road, and the two states of Yunnan and Guizhou had just returned to the Tang Dynasty, they were all under the command of Li Ke. Just give an explanation."
"Anyway, if the envoys from these two countries come to inquire, I will explain it to them like this."
"As for the rest, if they ask us to explain, they will say that we need to re-investigate internally and thoroughly investigate before we can follow the procedures." Li Shimin said seriously.
Everyone: "..."
Good guy, my Majesty, isn’t this a lie? From the outside world, this is even more outrageous than His Highness' direct war. How do other small countries view this?
Although there are not many small countries around the Tang Dynasty now.
Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and then looked at his father with a strange expression. Good guy, if you lived more than a thousand years later, you would have learned all the shameless ways next door. This Have you learned how to hold a meeting at the United Nations while fighting?
When the meeting comes out with a result, those two countries will be gone.
The point is, if you insist on coming here, does this seem to be true? If Li Ke remembers correctly, when he went south to Nanyang, Li Shimin did give him the order to do things cheaply, and it seemed that he also carried various seals with him at that time.
Otherwise, after he arrived in Guangzhou, the governors and governors of Lingnan Road at that time would not have come to see Li Ke.
Fang Xuanling and the three of them were so embarrassed that their faces were distorted. Your Majesty, you are so straightforward. Do you really think that His Majesty is too busy with work? Is your purpose too obvious?
"Okay, you can just say that. Just say that this is my decision. If you want to do this, then let's do it more simply. I will pay for this military expenditure privately. Later I will ask my steward Shi Yu to allocate an amount to the imperial treasury. Treasury, oh no, allocate 10 million yuan, and any more will be refunded and less will be replenished." Li Ke nodded directly and spoke.
Fang Xuanling and the three others were all stupid. Not Your Highness, are you really stupid because of your head work? Don't you think there's anything wrong?
Seeing the three of them whose jaws almost dropped, Li Shimin sneered, "You are still too young. Although you three are all cunning, you don't understand my son."
Although Li Ke was born in the royal family, he did not have the education that a prince should receive. He was more like a prince who lived in an extremely peaceful society. He had material conditions that did not have to worry about life, and he had enough time to see things. A variety of books, so that you can have a wealth of knowledge.
Reading thousands of books is a tangible manifestation of Li Ke. Although Li Shimin didn’t know where Li Ke had read so many books, Li Ke was considered favored when he was a child. He didn’t care what books he wanted to read. As long as people take care of it, no one will keep an eye on him in these aspects. After all, reading is not a bad thing.
Although his test scores were never outstanding, Li Shimin didn't have so much time to keep an eye on him at that time. As the King of Qin, Li Shimin had to fight everywhere when Li Ke was born. At that time, there were countless other people in the Tang Dynasty. rebellion, countless territories have not been recovered yet.
And when he had time to spare and had to launch the Xuanwu Gate Revolution to take the throne, the Tang Dynasty suffered a series of natural disasters. By the time Li Shimin had enough time to get to know his son, Li Ke had grown up.
But even so, Li Shimin knew him well enough.
Underneath Li Ke's seemingly reckless and reckless character, there is an extremely kind heart. This is really unbelievable, but this is the fact!
Moreover, he has very contradictory qualities. He can show amazing wisdom and methods in certain political-related aspects, but sometimes he is numb enough or slow enough in the face of certain political methods.
At first, Li Shimin also thought about whether Li Ke was pretending, whether he was deliberately slow in some way, but after careful observation, Li Shimin gave up this idea.
Because with the intelligence shown by Li Ke, isn't this disguise too clumsy? What's more, Li Shimin has carefully observed Li Ke. Based on his experience, Li Shimin can guarantee that Li Ke is really not pretending.
There is only one possibility for such a weird contrast, and that is that Li Ke was born very sensitive to political methods, and he was extremely intelligent, so he could quickly absorb these methods from history books and transform them into his own understanding. and apply it.
In other words, he systematically learned similar political methods from a certain teacher and mastered them skillfully.
Therefore, when Li Ke takes the initiative to use this knowledge, when he takes the initiative to take advantage of the situation and make some political means and wisdom, he can show extremely terrifying political wisdom and means.
But when something similar happened to him silently, he was very numb and clumsy.
This is because he has never experienced political struggle personally and naturally has no sensitivity in this regard.
The sensitivity of political struggle is not so easy to cultivate. Those courtiers in countless courts can have such political sensitivity because they are fighting with their lives every day. Once they are criticized and cannot find a reasonable excuse, If they use excuses to refute, or are unable to understand the superior's meaning, or even their own meaning, they may be punished or even lose their lives. Do you think they can be insensitive?
These require not only knowledge, but more importantly, experience. Rich life experience is the key.
More importantly, Li Ke also has an advantage that other princes cannot match, and that is the overall situation and national interests!
When the national interest emerges, in his subconscious, everything else can make way for the national interest. Some methods that are problematic in normal times are normal in Li Ke's view when compared with the greater national interest. Conventional means.
In the past few years, Li Shimin has been thinking about his son and his character when he has nothing to do, so Li Shimin understands him very well.
