Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 1035 Sacrifice to Heaven and Earth
Wei Zheng continued to report: "The minister thought that the nobles would all punish the crimes and comfort the heroes with their blood. Goguryeo soldiers were demoted to pariahs and sent to Qinling Mountains to build railways, and civilians were sent to Indochina Peninsula as slaves for five years."

"Senior!" Wang Gui expressed his support.

Xue Wanche is a general, not a butcher, and there is always blood to be shed. Xue Wanche still can't do things like killing people.The rest of the generals couldn't do it either. After a quick exchange, the rest of the generals sent a representative to come forward: "I also think it is possible, but I ask the sage for permission. I am willing to be the swordsman."

Cut it by hand?
This request made Li Shimin embarrassed again.

Wei Zheng stepped forward: "I think it is possible, but it is not called a swordsman. Wearing sacrificial clothes, comforting the world, comforting the spirits, offering blood to the heavens and the earth, offering sacrifices to the heroes has nothing to do with the swordsman. It can be written in history books that the priests hold fragrant."

This word game is slippery, Wei Zheng is indeed a master with a black face and a black heart.

Wang Gui hesitated again and again, reluctantly accepted the proposal, but made a request: "History books can be written in this way, but it must be annotated. The general who holds the knife must write clearly."

Li Shimin asked: "What do the generals want?"

"Thank you sage for your permission." The generals don't care about this writing, they are like civil servants who are afraid of being scolded by future generations.

In the minds of the generals, Bai Qi is the God of War, the God of War who was killed, Bai Qi did not make any mistakes, but made great achievements.

Beijing view outside the domestic city.

Blood stained the ground.

In Li Shimin's eyes, this bit of blood seemed not enough, but the Tang army was an army of benevolence and righteousness, and it could no longer kill them.

The sacrificial ceremony lasted for seven days and seven nights. In the Tang Dynasty, there were Taoist celestial masters headed by Yuan Tiangang, Buddhist eminent monks headed by Ciku, and famous scholars headed by Yu Shinan.

Great sacrifices to heaven and earth, sacrifices to heroic spirits.

The war is over, and there will be continuous sacrifices, which will last at least half a year.

Kumamoto Port.

Li Chengqian is going to take up his post, so he has to change ships in Kumamoto Port. The prince does not have his own special warship, which is not allowed by the Tang Dynasty Law Firm. All warships are state-owned and managed by the Navy Department of the Ministry of War, except for the emperor's one. Except for the one owned by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the rest of the ships are not exclusive.

Originally there was another ship of Liumu, but Liumu refused. It is no good to have this kind of privilege.

In Kumamoto Port, the other courtyard of the East Port Ship Division.

The generals who came back from the Liuzhao battlefield were chatting and laughing in the other courtyard.

A guard came in and reported: "Mr. Lang, Prince Chengqian asks to see you, and asks for a private meeting."

Before Liu Mu could respond, Xiao Yu said, "No see!"

Liu Mu asked: "No, it's a little unkind."

"Liu Concubine, as the imperial envoy, you are not allowed to meet any prince alone. If you do, at least two princes of the same rank as you, or other princes, must be present. What's more, Prince Chengqian sees you alone. I'm afraid it's just because of him being demoted."

Xiao Yu's explanation is reasonable.

Liu Mu said to the guard: "Just follow Xiao Gong's opinion."

Outside the door, Li Chengqian really wanted to ask Liu Mu, and he knew that only Liu Mu could change the holy decree.

After hearing the guard's reply, Li Chengqian closed his eyes helplessly, turned and left after thinking for a moment.

Since you can't meet alone, there is no point in saying goodbye.Presumably Li Ke is also there, and he doesn't want to see Li Ke, especially Li Ke has made great contributions in Liuzhao, and he heard that he will be transferred to Nanhai Temasek as the deputy general of the garrison.

And make preparations for the enlistment of the Three Buddhas in the coming year.

Li Tai, became the Deputy Chief History Officer of Indochina Peninsula, responsible for the five-year development work of Indochina Peninsula.

Li Chengqian couldn't bear it.

Compared to the duties assigned by his two younger brothers, he was just a guard of a small border port, as if he had been exiled.

why?
Li Chengqian left, he was ashamed to see Li Ke and Li Tai.

At night, Liu Mu was alone with Dugu Lanruo, Liu Mu asked, "Am I a little unkind?"

"Do you want to teach Chengqian?"

"I have this idea."

Liu Mu really wanted to have a chat with Li Chengqian.

But Dugu Lanruo asked back: "Can he listen?"

Liu Mu was stopped by the question, indeed, Li Chengqian might not be able to listen.

Dugu Lanruo said again: "As the eldest son of the emperor, he was destined to be a prince when he was born, but he is no longer worthy to be the heir of the Tang emperor, even Ke and Tai are not qualified yet."

Hearing this, Liu Mu was very puzzled: "This is not what you mean."

"It belongs to the emperor's wife. After listening to the history of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor's wife has calmly thought about many issues. In fact, the current system of the Tang Dynasty is not good. As a queen, you can't just think about family affection."

Liu Mu sighed: "It sounds cruel."

"There are more cruel ones."

"What is it?"

"The queen told Uncle Changsun Guo that if he dares to participate in the succession of the throne, there is still a place in the northernmost part of the Tang Dynasty that needs someone to guard it."

"really."

Liu Mu believed it this time, and Changsun Wuji probably knew it too.

Dugu Lanruo leaned on Liu Mu's body: "Lang Jun, what are you going to do next?"

"There is an interesting thing that hasn't been done. It's been two years."

Willow couldn't close her mouth with a smile.

"What is it?"

"The first thing is to go to Yushan. And the second thing is to take soldiers to Tianzhu and tell those small countries in Tianzhu who took in my demon monk from the Tang Dynasty. Either hand them over happily or start a war."

"Monk." After Dugu Lanruo figured it out, she covered her mouth and kept laughing.

Xuanzang was really unlucky, he went west all the way, and finally arrived in Tianzhu to get the scriptures, but Liu Mu still didn't intend to let him go.

Liu Mu said: "It's not that I don't let him go, but Tianzhu is a strategically important place in the Tang Dynasty. It is not required to occupy all of it, but also to occupy a part of it, and then prepare for the attack on Tupan. It will take at least ten years to attack Tupan. Time to prepare, within the next ten years, conflicts around Datang and within the country will have to be dealt with, and ten years will not be easy."

"and then?"

"Then, let's go east all the way, let's go to the New World. Brother Huang and I have an agreement to open up an idyllic place in the New World, but we can't settle there, and we can't bring Datang's technology over there. To put it bluntly, we only need the resources of the New World, and our home in Datang will also be moved."

Upon hearing the move, Dugu Lanruo was very interested: "Then move there."

"The Supreme Emperor wants to settle in Temasek, so our home is Long Hing Fong."

"what!"

Dugu Lanruo was taken aback. Longqingfang was originally a royal garden, and it was renovated for the emperor to live in.

Dugu Lanruo really didn't dare to take that place.

Liu Mu said again: "There is nothing I dare not want. I have resigned all my official positions, and the next step is to travel around the world. The game will take at least two or three years, and then there will be no one to go to the new world without me. After traveling around the world, I will be an idler at home, and I will go to the Mediterranean every two or three years, and that’s it.”

"Very good." Dugu Lanruo thinks this kind of life is quite interesting.

There's nothing to argue about, as a princess and consort, one should be able to live a relaxed life.

Excessive participation in state affairs, especially with Liu Mu's status, may not be a good thing.In particular, Liu Mu holds the secret letter of the Tang emperor's successor, so he should not get involved in state affairs too much.

"By the way, we need a bigger and better ship, or a team."

Liu Mu suggested again, but Dugu Lanruo just laughed.

　I don't know how to write the ending.

　　I’m writing here today. I thought this was the end, but I still feel that something is missing. I don’t want to talk about the next generation’s struggle for the throne. It’s not interesting to fight for world hegemony.

　　Let me think, if I have an idea, write something more, or if I don't, this may be the end.
