I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

Chapter 378 Even TV dramas dare not act in such a bloody plot!

At the turn of autumn and winter.

The cold wind in the north is biting.

What's more, heavy snow has begun to fall.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of weather is not suitable for fighting each other.

Both warring parties will also consciously stop releasing taunting skills.

Not only Liaodong and the Western Regions, but even the East China Sea.

Also stopped fighting.

After all, this kind of bad weather is too expensive to fight.

If it is not necessary, I will not do such a thankless thing.

In the past, the Tang army relied on more advanced equipment to keep out the cold and heat, but they often did this kind of surprise attack on snowy nights.

But it is no longer necessary.

Tang Jun, who has mastered the overall situation, no longer needs to rely on external factors such as weather, location, and harmony to increase his grasp.

Tang Jun, who has taken the initiative, can A pass at any time and win for sure.

The question is whether it can be digested.

Therefore, in the eyes of Tang Jun, victory is only a matter of time.

Even Li Shimin himself, he has already begun to think about how to set up administrative agencies in Japan.

"Keming, I want to set up Haidong Road on the Dongying Islands, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the situation in the Eastern Europe is complicated, similar to that of the Western Regions. I think it would be better to set up the Protectorate first."

"But according to the news from the East China Sea, Otomo, the powerful official of the Japanese Yamato Dynasty, was assassinated. The Yamato Dynasty is now in civil strife. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to subdue it, I'm afraid there won't be such a good time in the future."

After hearing this, Du Ruhui fell into deep thought.

The current situation is actually not a matter of timing or not, but that there are too many interests involved in that place.

Many forces are circling in that place.

Even his old Du himself has conflicts of interest over there.

It was agreed at the beginning, everyone will go up together, whoever grabs it will be the one.

In other words, the imperial court gave up the initiative and let many forces in the East China Sea take the lead.

Then share some benefits with them.

But listening to Boss Li's tone now, it means he wants to monopolize it.

This horse riding is very unethical.

On land, all forces may fear Li Shimin.

But overseas, it's really hard to say.

Li Shimin wants to monopolize it, I am afraid that these forces will not submit obediently.

What will happen then is hard to say.

Although SF Express is currently controlled by the imperial court.

But in fact, if their interests are encroached upon.

Not to mention Li Shimin, I'm afraid Li Mu, the behind-the-scenes boss, is not easy to control.

After all, after being alone overseas for so long, can you really achieve 100% control?

With such a large force, it is impossible to control every mountain.

What Li Mu can control are those former old people.

Once there is a conflict of interest, it is not uncommon for SF Express to split.

It's just that everyone has common interests at present, and Li Mu's allocation of shares to them can also satisfy them.

Plus some technical monopoly.

Basically, there is no possibility of playing off.

But if Li Shimin kicks directly like this.

That is bound to leave hidden dangers.

Du Ruhui knew more about the inside story than Li Shimin, so he didn't approve of Li Shimin's monopoly.

This product belongs to traversing on land, without taking into account the actual situation overseas.

Without the power of SF Express, only rely on Datang's naval power.

Not to mention subduing the countries of Japan, it is too arrogant to speak in the East China Sea.

It is estimated that they may all be black hands.

On the other side of the East China Sea, the name of the emperor is not easy to use.

Of course, it doesn't mean that no one respects him as the Great Tang Emperor.

Yes, but not as obvious as on land.

The mainstream thinking in the East China Sea is that I am from Tang Dynasty, I am Han Chinese, I am Chinese, and I am awesome.

But to say that because our emperor is Li Shimin, I feel awesome.

Then no.

Perhaps they feel superior to others because they are Tang people and Han Chinese.

But what makes them proud is this identity, this country.

According to what Li Mu said, it is the so-called sense of national honor.

But it is by no means brought by "imperial power" or "emperor".

According to the previous philosophy, "China" belonged to the emperor, and the two were equated.

To put it bluntly, "China" is the private property of the emperor.

But since Li Mu came up with a so-called "national sense of honor".

"China" gradually broke away from the concept of the emperor's private property.

Because people at the bottom also began to feel that "China" belongs to us, not to the emperor alone.

It is because we feel that "China" belongs to us, so the "sense of national honor" becomes stronger.

If you feel that "China" belongs to the emperor.

So where's your sense of honor?

Once you feel that "China" belongs to the emperor and the ruling class.

You don't care so much about whether "China" is good or bad.

Because that's someone else's.

It's fine, it's none of my business.

It's not good, and it's none of my business.

Only by making everyone feel that they belong to "China" and "China" also belongs to us.

Only then will it be motivated.

And it just so happens that the East China Sea has been separated from the rule of the Tang imperial power for a long time.

On the contrary, it is easier to sprout the subtle concept of "being the master of the house".

Of course, from the perspective of the emperor, Li Shimin might feel a little uncomfortable.

Because whether it is subjective consciousness or not, these people have taken away part of the ownership of "China" from him.

However, he didn't understand the specific concept of this kind of thing.

He was just a little bit upset, a little "jealous".

He didn't quite understand it when he went deeper.

That's why he allowed the forces in the East China Sea to exist forever.

He can even use the power of the East China Sea to do something for him.

It's just that his behavior of swallowing alone may cause some adverse reactions.

Although Du Ruhui didn't understand the deep-seated things in it.

But he knew that this behavior would lead to a conflict of interest and cause some unexpected things.

Therefore, he felt that it was necessary to stop Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, the sages of the islands in the East China Sea are loyal to His Majesty, but their influence is complicated. If the Dao is really placed in the East China Sea, I am afraid that some people with ulterior motives will stir up troubles and make trouble. The islands in the East China Sea are far away from the Celestial Dynasty. At the moment, the main thing is to appease, and when the time is right, I will show the favor of Junwei."

What Lao Du said was very cryptic, even Xiangxian came out.

The translation of this thing is the earth tyrant.

But Li Shimin probably heard it.

After taking a deep look at Lao Du, his fingers began to tap the table rhythmically.

He is weighing, he is analyzing, and he is making trade-offs.

Finally, the fingers stop moving.

Li Shimin finally spoke.

"Keming, I heard that Dongying Yamato has appointed a woman as the emperor?"

Old Du was taken aback for a moment, wondering why Li Shimin suddenly asked this question.

It is not without precedent for Yamato to establish a woman as emperor. There was a man named Emperor Tuiko before this, so it is not surprising.

Silla also has a queen.

Moreover, if there is no accident, Li Mu's concubine Jin Shengman is very likely to be the next queen of Silla.

"Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing. This woman's name is Bao, and everyone is called Princess Bao."

When Li Shimin heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Keming, help me to issue an edict. I want to communicate with this precious princess."

It is said to be an edict, but it is actually a letter of credence. Of course, you can call it a private letter.

I just don't know if Li Shimin will start with a sentence, "Bao!"

Then about two months later, Li Mu received news from the East China Sea.

It is said that Princess Bao of the Yamato Dynasty admired Li Shimin, the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, and hoped to be received by Li Shimin.

Then Li Shimin really met her at the palace on the other side of the Yalu River.

Immediately afterwards, according to inside sources, some indescribable things seemed to happen to the two of them.

When Li Mu heard the news, he was completely dumbfounded.

Nima, Madou would not dare to act like this in this plot, okay?
Fuck!
