"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please think twice and withdraw your order to conquer Tianzhu in person!" Hafnium
Master Xuanzang, who had always only knelt before gods and Buddhas, was now kneeling in front of the temple and begging Wang Ming to take back his order.
Xuanzang's life was not easy during this period.
One moment he was a saintly monk respected by thousands of people, and the next moment he became a demonic monk despised by thousands of people with corrupt morals.
Everyone angrily denounced him as a monster who bewitched the emperor.
He who had been chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha all his life had never experienced this battle before, and he almost had a mental breakdown.
He felt very wronged!
Xuanzang recalled the number of times he had met the emperor and the words he had said. hafnium
Apart from meeting him once at Huasheng Temple, he had never met him again, and he had never met the emperor alone. How could he be tempted?
but,
After hearing that the emperor wanted to send troops to Tianzhu, the hometown of Buddha, he immediately became anxious and came to the palace gate to ask for an audience.
pity,
Wang Ming had no idea of seeing him at all.
Wang Ming was very busy at this time.
·····hafnium
Standing in front of Wang Ming were a dozen princes, all of whom were Li Shimin's sons.
"Father, please take back your decision to go to Tianzhu!
Tianzhu is too far away from the Tang Dynasty. We cannot govern it at all. Even if we conquer it, it will be a waste of national power. "Prince Li Chengqian said.
"Yes! My father, Tianzhu, is too far away. What would a foreign land do?" Wei King Li Tai agreed.
King Li Tai of Wei was Li Shimin's favorite son.
Because of this favor, he always had the idea of becoming a prince.
Therefore, he has always been at odds with Prince Li Chengqian, but this time they did have surprisingly consistent opinions. hafnium
Just because he, Li Tai, was not the prince or the heir apparent yet, once the emperor went on an expedition and died outside, only Li Chengqian would be the one to take the throne, which he couldn't bear.
Wang Ming looked at his cheap son below and felt extremely dizzy.
Among the time travellers, Wang Ming is considered kind and will basically not harm the family and friends of the replacement host.
But,
No harm does not mean that Wang Ming can casually accept the inexplicable extra relatives like many time travellers, and also show deep affection.
He has no feelings for these princes at all.
If it weren't for Li Shimin's sake, Wang Ming would just let them watch the sun with Xuanzang outside. hafnium
"You are still too superficial and can't see the essence of things at all. You have disappointed me so much." Wang Ming, who was sitting in front of the desk, said with a look of hatred in his eyes.
"Please forgive me for being stupid and not understanding what my father means." Li Zhi asked respectfully.
Wang Ming glanced at Li Zhi.
The emperor's successor after Tang Taizong Li Shimin was Li Zhi.
At this time, the most enjoyable fight between the prince Li Chengqian and the king of Wei Li Tai would come to nothing, and they would end up like a snipe and a clam fighting for Li Zhi's gain.
Li Zhi gave people a very mediocre impression in history, but in fact Li Zhi was extremely capable.
It's just that he was unlucky. He had an awesome father and a wife who was the only empress in history, so his shine was obscured. hafnium
It is true that the territory of the Tang Dynasty reached its largest size in the hands of Li Zhi.
Wu Zetian is very famous, but she is really just famous.
She was just a chess piece supported by Li Zhi, used to contain the world's elites. When Li Zhi was alive, Wu Zetian had never been able to act like a monster.
Wu Zetian's status as a queen is commendable, and she is considered to be weak among emperors, even worse than Adou, who could not support her.
Politically, the dynasty was filled with traitors and factions. It laid the root of disaster for the Tang Dynasty. A large number of famous ministers were killed, and I heard a lot about correct policies and wrong ones.
In terms of military and diplomacy, the territory of the Tang Dynasty shrunk in her hands.
It is said that her main energy is dealing with internal people who oppose her ascending the throne and proclaiming herself emperor! hafnium
As a result, she had the time and energy to bully the Turks, Khitans and other very obedient countries.
Those countries found that the Tang army sent by Wu Zetian was vulnerable, so their fear of the Tang Dynasty disappeared.
The imperial military system in the early Tang Dynasty collapsed because Wu Zetian allowed his subordinates to annex land.
The collapse of the government's military system forced Li Longji to appoint military envoys to the feudal towns.
It can be said that without Li Zhi behind her, Wu Zetian was not a so-called wise king at all.
Wang Ming looked at Li Zhi thoughtfully and thought to himself: "It seems that Wu Zetian is Li Shimin's concubine, right? This guy is a bit..."
Then Wang Ming shook his head again and said: "Of course I went to Tianzhu not for the scriptures, but for you!"
For a moment, all the princes looked at each other in confusion, somewhat confused.
Wang Mingdao: "There are eleven princes, but there is only one position under me!" (Li Shimin had fourteen sons, and here we treat those three as dead.)
As soon as these words came out, all the princes' faces turned pale.
"follow me!"
Wang Ming led them to a hanging map.
Then he said: "Look, from Chang'an to Tianzhu."
The eyes of many princes moved on the map. They saw the word Chang'an in reality, then saw the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty, and finally looked at the territories of other countries. Comparing the sizes of the two territories, a sense of pride suddenly arose in their hearts, because The territory of the Tang Dynasty was really large. hafnium
However, after they were proud, they couldn't help but be surprised when they looked at the territory of those countries. Although it was not as good as the Tang Dynasty, the area was really not small.
"The Baoxiang Kingdom, the Wuji Kingdom, the Bhikkhu Kingdom, the Zhuzi Kingdom, the Miefang Kingdom, the Chechi Kingdom, the Daughter Kingdom, the Jisai Kingdom, the Tianzhu Kingdom, and the Shitu Kingdom."
The names were read out one by one, which made many princes a little confused, but a hidden color flashed in Li Zhi's eyes.
"I will definitely defeat these ten countries and entrust them to you."
"What?" Everyone was shocked for a moment.
Then some people are happy and some are sad.
The happy ones are those who have no hope of the throne, but the sad ones are Li Chengqian and Li Tai. hafnium
Li Tai suddenly stood up and said: "Father, I think it is inappropriate. If this continues, won't we follow in the footsteps of the Zhou Dynasty and the early Han Dynasty? It is best for the world to be unified."
Wang Ming shook his head and said: "You are still too shallow to judge things. Why did Liu Bang want to ennoble the king named Liu?"
Li Tai immediately said: "Because Liu Bang is uneducated and has no knowledge of the disadvantages of enfeoffment."
Wang Ming shook his head again and said: "Judging from the rebellion of those Wangs surnamed Liu later, there is indeed a problem.
But for the Han Dynasty, when the world was first established, enfeoffment had existential significance. "
Li Zhi was shocked when he heard this and said: "Father, do you want us to suppress those forces that want to restore the country?"
Wang Ming nodded and said: "That's right!"
Li Tai immediately said: "I'm afraid that if the suppression ends, my own people will start fighting instead."
Wang Ming glanced at Li Shimin's favorite son, Li Tai. This guy did have some problems with his IQ, but Wang Ming didn't care. After all, he was not his own son. He was just trying to trick them into doing their best.
"Just beat them! Isn't it good for the meat to rot in the pot?" Wang Ming said, and then he didn't have the intention to continue with them, and waved them away.
The prince is indeed of noble status, but the prince is also a miserable group.
What is the biggest role of an emperor giving birth to a son?
It's for killing!
