Tang's dining table

The three of them, Yun Chu and Li Chengxiu, have made a complete break with the old nobles today. In other words, from now on, Yun Chu and the others will become their own faction.

The leader of this faction is Yun Chu, assisted by Wen Wen and Di Renjie, with Chang'an as the base, local officials of Chang'an as the group, Prince Li Hong of the Tang Dynasty as the heart, Princess Anding of the Tang Dynasty as the spear, and the leader of the Buddhist Kingdom of the Western Regions. With Naha's help, she will openly participate in the struggle for power in the political center of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhi is happy to see the success of the newly emerged Yunchu faction. For him, even if the Yunchu faction does not appear, there will be other factions. As long as there are no major changes in military power, for him Said there is no big difference.

The Yunchu people are a group of officials whose core is economics and whose purpose is to benefit the world. As long as they do not change their original intentions, there will be only benefits and no harm to the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, if their original intentions changed, Li Zhi wouldn't hesitate at all when he started to remove it.

There are no factions in the government, and there are all kinds of strange things. This is a very insightful saying. Although Li Zhi couldn't say it out loud, he always thought so.

Li Jixin was as old and hot as Jiang Gui, and he always felt that as the remaining fruitful old ministers of Zhenguan, he had the obligation to help those old ministers who were destined to be abandoned by the emperor find a way out.

He chose the Japanese country, which was isolated overseas.

Although it seems poor and backward compared with the Tang Dynasty, it is much better than the barbaric places in Annan. The main reason is that there are more people. Decades of envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty to educate them are better than the group of monkeys living in the trees in Annan. The most important thing is that the climate of Japan is not much different from that of the Central Plains, with distinct cold and heat, and agriculture is the main occupation.

As long as more of the noble descendants of the Tang Dynasty go there, in less than two generations, the Japanese country can be transformed into the same state as the counties of the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no more Japanese countries in the world.

Of course, the main reason is that the Japanese country is far enough away from the Tang Dynasty, and there is a sea in between.

As for where he died, Li Ji didn't care. He had seen many different ways of death in his life. He didn't necessarily have to die on the bed of old age. It might not be a good story to die under the last arrow shot by the enemy in the last battle of Japan. .

Before leaving, Li Ji was free of worries as he was able to deliver his son to the most promising group of people in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, when he was drinking with Xu Jingzong, Cheng Yaojin, Su Dingfang, Liang Jianfang and other senior ministers at night, he was caught by the Minister of Rites, Lu Dunxin. Jin and others were able to escape after force-fed a pot of anti-toxic drugs.

Drinking too much wine is just that. Although they are old, these people's morals after drinking are not good. They cry like ghosts and howl, and talk dirty words in return of their wives. They are truly vulgar.

Unlike others, Liang Jianfang would recite "A Man's Journey" which he wrote inspired by Yun Chu as long as he drank.

Today is different. When Liang Jianfang sings over and over again the line in "A Man's Journey", "If you don't see you, the wise men will rise and the strong men will die, and China will praise benevolence and righteousness from now on." Once the barbarians invaded the Central Plains, the scholars rushed to the ground and the cowardly people wept.

I want to learn the ancient style and regain my heroic spirit. Reputation is like dirt, and those who disdain benevolence will ridicule. Wearing an iron sword, he kills people in anger. They cut their legs and drank wine together, chatting and laughing with ghosts and ghosts. It takes ten weeks to kill an enemy thousands of miles away..."

Before he could finish singing, he started to cry loudly.

After crying, he sang intermittently, "Simon, leave your mother. The mother is sad but the son is not sad." The body is committed to historical events, but the man will never return. The killing battle between heaven and earth shocked the Yin Court with tragedy. Kill one person in three steps without stopping. Blood flowed for thousands of miles, and corpses pillowed Qianxun Mountain. When a strong man finishes a battle, he sleeps on his enemy's corpse when tired. There was still murder in the dream...

"Your Majesty, are we really useless?"

"We created this world with one knife and one shot... Do we not even have a place to stand now?"

Li Ji's eyes turned red when he heard this, and even the old man sitting there had tears rolling down his white beard. For a while, the sound of choking could not be heard.

Xu Jingzong said sadly: "This moment is the same as that moment. When you use it, you are a hero. When you don't use it, you are just a butcher..."

Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth and said: "Yun Chu can write such a magnificent essay, but he will not inherit our mantle. He is not a human being."

Su Dingfang poured a bowl of wine into his mouth, coughed and said, "People look down on us vulgar and illiterate people. What they want is people who are good at fighting without great achievements. What they want is for the family to rule the country and bring peace to the world!"

"Damn you, the good warrior has no great achievements. In the Western Regions and Liaodong, didn't he rush into the city and fight in the crowd like us? He also killed like a bloody gourd, and was shot like a hedgehog by random arrows. Same, can he be a bird higher than us?

I never heard that people would kneel down and surrender after he took out the bird. "

Everyone is talking about Yun Chu and scolding Yun Chu. However, every one of them knows in their hearts that it is not difficult to win the Japanese country. The difficulty lies in how to govern the Japanese country. On this point, the veterans and commanders present all know it in their hearts. , they don’t have this ability.

When the two armies faced each other, they had no fear of anyone. Attacking a city was just a picnic, and killing people and setting fires was a piece of cake for them.

However, they went to the Japanese country to establish a firm foothold and rule for a long time. They wanted to turn the Japanese country into their paradise. If they could not govern the Japanese country well and let the Japanese rebel today and rise up tomorrow, what would they want?

Yunchu's ability to govern local areas is not only reflected in Chang'an City. To these veterans, Dahang City is the model among Yunchu's models for governing occupied areas.

Today's Dahang City has become a big wedge driven by the Tang Dynasty in Liaodong, and it is still the most stable wedge. It is obvious that Yunchu did all kinds of evil things in Dahang City, but the people in Dahang City The original Goguryeo people had great nostalgia and respect for Yunchu, the first city guard. Not only did they willingly let the Goguryeo people there think that they were Tang people from the bottom of their hearts, but most importantly, they also despised the Goguryeo people around them.

Once the surrounding Goguryeo people have any bad trends, they are more anxious than the officials in Dahang City. Often, the things that the surrounding Goguryeo people want to do are cleaned up by these so-called Tang people before they even start.

Of course they want to create this kind of custom in Japan...

Li Ji said to his second son Li Siwen who was guarding the door: "Go and call Yun Chu over."

Li Siwen went immediately.

This time, the reason why Li Ji brought his second son to Fengchan Taishan was entirely because his eldest son, Li Zhen, died of illness in June this year when he took office in Zizhou. He was forty-nine years old.

The emperor treated Li Zhen very highly and gave him the title of Governor of Youzhou, with the title of Mi.

Li Ji, who was used to seeing life, old age, illness and death, didn't feel too sad, mainly because Li Zhen had been in poor health since he was a child, and being able to live to the age of forty-nine was not considered a premature death.

When Li Siwen came to the entrance of Yunchu's tent, he saw that the people in the tent were also singing, but there was no food or wine, only cans of tea and some fruits.

Li Chengxiu stood up quickly and said, "Second brother."

Li Siwen looked at Yun Chu and said, "I, Aye, have invited the Duke to come over and talk."

Yun Chu shook his head and took out a folded piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Li Siwen and said, "It won't be over at this time. If you give this piece of paper to Mr. Ying, he will naturally be satisfied."

Li Siwen said angrily: "How dare you disrespect my father?"

Yun Chu was not angry, but smiled and said: "Now that I have passed, some disputes will inevitably arise, and these disputes are likely to affect the grand plan of Ying Gong, so it is better not to go there."

Li Siwen glared at Li Chengxiu fiercely and went back angrily.

Gentle said: "What is written on the paper?"

Yunchu sighed and said, "A long and short sentence, for the Young Master."

Di Renjie said: "It must be wonderful."

Yun Chu nodded and said: "It's inevitable. The old hero fought for the Tang Dynasty all his life, and he always had to leave something for future generations to remember, so I gave him the song "Broken Array" to comfort himself. "

Gentle said: "You have been writing a lot lately."

Yun Chu spread his hands and said, "Whether it's a gift to His Majesty, the Queen, or the Duke, what can we give? This is the only thing that's hard to value, so it's most appropriate to give it to them."

Just when Yunchu was feeling complacent, he suddenly heard a roar coming from outside the tent: "You thief, how dare you insult me ​​at my old age!"

Before Yun Chu could react, the tent he had finally set up was overturned by someone. Yun Chu looked blankly at Li Ji, who had ruffled beard and hair, and then asked. Unexpectedly, Su Dingfang's fist came with the sound of wind. Smashed over.

Yun Chu dodged to avoid it, but he didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to make a vicious and silent move on his vaginal leg, which went straight to his crotch. Yun Chu clamped Cheng Yaojin's kicking leg with a pair of pliers before opening his mouth to ask why. , was hit by Liang Jianfang's speeding wheelchair and staggered.

He could have gotten out of the way, but he was worried that this old bastard without two feet would fall under Mount Tai and be smashed into a pulp, so he had to block it with his stomach. Unexpectedly, not only did this old thief Unappreciative, he took the opportunity to punch him hard twice on the chest and abdomen. Although it was not strong, it distracted Yun Chu, so Su Dingfang's casserole-sized fist hit his eyes.

Yun Chu was not afraid in the face of danger. He shook his arms and broke away from Liang Jianfang's hands. He kicked his feet on the wheelchair and rolled outwards. At the same time, he also grabbed Cheng Yaojin's feet. He wanted to throw the old thief to the ground. After all, Taishan didn't make a move, but just kicked him over. This hesitation was terrible. After a moment's delay, his body flying in the air received five or six punches and three kicks in an instant.

Yunchu roared angrily and put his hands on the shoulders of Cheng Chumo, who had just succeeded in the sneak attack. At the same time, he lowered his body and exerted force on his waist, throwing Cheng Chumo out in the air. He ducked to avoid Li Siwen's flying kick and caught him again. When he came back, he turned around on his shoulder and threw it towards a crowded place.

With his back against the railing, he could see the situation clearly. Gentleman, Di Renjie was lying on the ground being trampled by seven or eight white-haired and white-bearded old thieves with fifteen or sixteen feet. The screams were unbearable to hear. As for Li Chengxiu, he was Grandpa Ying personally pinned him to the ground, punched and kicked him, but not only did this guy not dare to resist or say anything, he only held his head and screamed, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

Prince Li Hong was stunned by the current situation. He wanted to rush over to help Wen Wen and Di Renjie countless times, but he was surrounded by a group of old guys with limited mobility, tugging at his sleeves, belts, and robes. He did not dare to use force for fear that he would use too much force. Too big and one or two will be killed.

Li Ji stepped on Li Chengxiu's neck domineeringly, looked back at Yun Chu who kept rubbing his eyes and said, "Are you old?"
