Chapter 455 Li Cun Godson (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

Traveling from north to south, Li Biao not only experienced the great rivers and mountains of the Daqian Dynasty, but also clearly felt that the inland of the Daqian Dynasty was much more prosperous than the newly recovered Liaodong, Jidi, and Northeastern regions. It can even be said that they cannot be compared with each other.

A veteran who was traveling with Li Biao and participated in the Northern Expedition to Yanjing during the Zhao and Song Dynasties told Li Biao that he clearly remembered that during the previous dynasty, which was the most glorious period of Song Huizong, when they arrived in Hebei with the large army from Guanzhong, , Many places along the road are withered vegetation, bald peaks, no vegetation, and a desolate place.

Looking back now, these places are all fertile fields, covered with lush plantations, and full of people with satisfied smiles on their faces.

The veteran also told Li Biao about the miserable scene in Bazhou before the fall of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Parents ate their children, and the corpses of those who died of illness or starvation were marked with paper in the market and people sold them on the streets.

Not to mention that the people couldn't survive at that time, it's just that these teeth soldiers were all shattered, and seven or eight out of ten died of starvation.

However, at that time, the Zhao and Song courts also ordered Hebei and Shandong to transfer grain to the front lines, and assigned the task of ensuring food supply to the front lines to Hebei, Hedong, and Jingdong roads close to the front lines, and the officials of the transshipment departments distributed the grain amount to the common people. on the head.

What's even more hateful is that due to the lack of transportation capacity, the officials of various transshipment departments also specifically require the common people to deliver food to the front line to pay.

As a result, in order to transport one shi of grain, the freight along the way will cost more than ten or even twenty shi of grain.

This has brought great trouble and even disaster to the people.

In addition, in those years, Hebei, Jingdong and other roads suffered from famine year after year, and the harvest was not good.

As a result, people starved to death everywhere.

People couldn't stand such a dark life, so they could only revolt, rebel, and become bandits. As a result, many anti-donation storms or peasant riots broke out in various places.

They range from a few hundred people to tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of people, one after another.

Zhang Wanxian in Shandong has a population of 5; Zhang Di in Shandong has a population of more than 30; Gaotuo Mountain in Hebei claims to have [-] people; the number of other [-] to [-] people is countless.

Facing the situation of civil uprisings that are spreading in the north, the Zhao and Song courts can only send force to suppress it, resulting in a waste of national power and military strength.

Maybe even God can't bear to see it. Zhao Ji was extravagant, lustful and overjoyed in his achievements, and excessively exploited the people's wealth and support.

In the first month of that year, major earthquakes suddenly occurred in Hedong, Shaanxi and other places. All mountains and trees were submerged into the ground, many houses collapsed, and casualties and property losses were serious.

At that time, the earthquake was also felt in the Tokyo area, and even the central hall door of Enfukugong Palace shook loudly.

Soon, victims of disasters spread in Lianghe, Jingdong, Jingxi, Zhejiangxi, Huanqing, Binning, Jingyuan and other places.

After the veteran mentioned this, another veteran next to him mentioned the original Hua Shigang, Hangzhou "Zuozao Bureau", Suzhou "Yingfeng Bureau", Wang Fu's "Yingfengsi", and Cai Tao's "Xuanheku Style Bureau". They helped Zhao Ji to collect strange flowers and rocks, birds and beasts, spring goods, coins, clothes, jade food, utensils, etc. It can be said that they asked for everything from gold and jade to vegetables and fruits. Wherever they passed, the local people had to provide money and grain and civil service; in some places, bridges were demolished and city walls were damaged to allow the fleet to pass.Therefore, the common people are often miserable...

Compared with the current Daqian Dynasty, the people have ample food and clothing, the government is well-organized and the people are harmonious, prosperous and strong, and it looks like an unprecedented prosperous age.

Many soldiers said that it was because of this that they were willing to fight for the Daqian Dynasty, and even die for the Dagan Dynasty.

This is not the first time Li Biao has heard of such a thing.

In fact, Li Biao often heard such words when he was in the army.

Moreover, Li Biao knew very well that it was because his identity was exposed that these soldiers only said that they fought and died for the Daqian Dynasty. If his identity had not been revealed, these soldiers must have said that they were fighting for his father. Li Cun fought and died for his father, Emperor Li Cunxiao.

Let's put it this way, after going out for two years and following the soldiers of the Qian army to destroy two countries, Li Biao increasingly understood that his father Li Cun was great and could not be surpassed.

No.

Li Biao now even feels that as long as he can reach one-thousandth of his father Li Cun, he will be very satisfied.

Catch up?

Can man surpass God?

……

Hongwu 15 years, early July.

Li Biao, the crown prince of the Dagan Dynasty who had been away from Yingtianfu in Nanjing for two years, finally returned to the capital.

Li Cunxun immediately announced that Li Biao and Yue Yun had come to the palace to see him.

Hearing that Li Cun also wanted to see him, Yue Yun was as excited as a child.

Before entering the palace, Yue Yun, who had never paid much attention to appearance, not only put on his best official uniform, but also repeatedly asked his soldiers whether there were any wrinkles in his official uniform.Is there anything else wrong with him?

Li Biao knew without asking that the reason why Yue Yun was like this was not because the Li Cun he was going to meet was the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, at least not entirely because Li Cun was the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, but more because Li Cun is Yue Yun's idol and the person whom Yue Yun admires most in his life.

Li Biao also knew that there were a large number of soldiers like Yue Yun in the army.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Li Cun gives an order, there will definitely be a large number of soldiers in the Gan army who will die for Li Cun without hesitation.

And Yue Yun must be one of them.

On this point, it would be a lie to say that Li Biao is not envious or jealous of Li Cun.

Who wouldn't want to have the charisma of Li Cun?

But Li Biao knew better than anyone that this was something he could not envy or be jealous of.

He is just a mortal, and it is impossible for him to have the invincible record and ability of his father, Li Cun, and he has no chance to promote soldiers who are similar to prisoners and slaves to the same height as literati who are admired by the world.

In addition, he does not have his father Li Cun's head that knows everything and can imagine everything and the ability to realize it, let alone his father Li Cun's insight into everything.

How dare he compare with his father Li Cun?

After Li Biao and Yue Yun packed up, they came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation one after the other.

Here, Li Biao met his father, Emperor Li Cun, whom he hadn't seen for almost two years.

What reassures Li Biao is that Li Cun called him back this time, not because of any problem with Li Cun's health.

——Li Cun and Li Biao looked the same when they left. There was not a trace of oldness or illness in their bodies.

Similarly, even if he was working in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Li Cun was still surrounded by a large number of Yingying and Yanyan. Liu Xuan and Huang Zhong made the eunuchs who were the best in the two great dynasties have to guard the door at the door. There is no chance to get close to Li Cun, only beauties can be around Li Cun.

Li Biao never understood Li Cun's fanatical love for women.

A woman is just a tool for giving birth to a son. A few are enough, so why bother with so many, wasting people and money?

It’s not that Li Biao never persuaded Li Cun, but so many people failed to persuade Li Cun to quit. How could Li Biao, a stupid kid, persuade Li Cun to quit?

Besides, there are already thousands of women who have given birth to Li Cun's children. Is it simply unrealistic for Li Cun to not want these women?

So this is already an unsolvable problem.

So Li Biao could only let it go.

Seeing Li Biao come in, Li Cun, who was reviewing the memorial, raised his head under the reminder of the female officer beside him.

After taking a good look at his eldest son who was almost half a head taller than him, Li Cun said lovingly, "It's tall and strong, not bad."

Li Biao bowed and said: "I kowtow to see my father." Then I gave Li Cun a big gift.

"Retire without courtesy."

After asking Li Biao to stand up, Li Cun asked, "How did you gain from this trip?"

Li Biao replied: "My son has gained a lot."

Li Cun asked: "What have you gained?"

Li Biao talked eloquently: "As a king, if you listen to both, you will be bright, if you listen to one side, you will be dark, if you don't listen to it, you will be stupid, if you listen to it together, you will be holy..."

For his father Li Cun, Li Biao didn't hide anything.

Not only that, Li Biao also hopes that the insights he summarized over two years can be corrected by Li Cun.

Li Cun, on the other hand, listened tirelessly to Li Biao's insights, and inserted a few sentences from time to time to guide Li Biao on the path of a Mingjun.

The father and son chatted for a whole afternoon before Li Biao finally reported his thoughts on this trip to Li Cun.

After hearing this, Li Cun stretched his back a lot, and said, "That's right, you finally look like an emperor."

Li Biao hurriedly said: "My son is still far behind."

Li Cun did not further encourage Li Biao, but said matter-of-factly: "It doesn't matter, you still have time to practice slowly."

Li Biao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He was really afraid that the "lazy" Li Cun would give up his job now and let him carry the heavy burden of the Daqian Dynasty.

But before Li Biao could catch his breath, Li Cun said: "Since you are back, you should still do this work."

Then, Li Cun reminded Li Biao: "No matter how capable a person is, his energy is limited. You have to learn to leverage your strengths and let go of the small."

Afraid that Li Biao wouldn't understand, Li Cun simply made it clear: "Leave those unimportant things to your brothers or ministers. You just need to grasp the general direction. Don't do everything yourself as before." Well, if you are still like before, then maybe I will have to give the white-haired person to the black-haired person."

"promise."

On the surface, Li Biao readily agreed, but in fact Li Biao was thinking: "How can there be a small matter in the country? How can it be left in the hands of others?"

Therefore, in the process of governing in the future, Li Biao is also like Li Cun on the surface, letting the governor and ministers handle everything, but in fact, Li Biao will personally pay attention to it no matter how big or small it is; For one thing, Li Biao will also be like Li Cun, first hand over the memorial to the princes for review, but every memorial, Li Biao has to read it carefully in person, instead of unimportant things like Li Cun. , just glance at it casually, write the word "accurate", and hand it over to the relevant people to deal with.

In other words, Li Biao has not changed his fault of doing everything by himself at all, on the contrary, it is even worse than before, not to mention Li Cun taught him to grasp the big and let go of the small.

in fact--

Li Cun, who has always been staring at the general direction of the Daqian Dynasty and always examining whether Li Biao is suitable to be the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, is not unaware of Li Biao's actions.

But Li Cun can't punish Li Biao for being too diligent, or even deprive Li Biao of his right to inherit the throne, right?

The key point is that Li Biao is so diligent in governing, it is indeed a great thing for the Jiangshan Sheji of the Daqian Dynasty.

Let's put it this way, under Li Cun's governance, some bold and reckless ministers may be able to take advantage of some loopholes to engage in corruption, pervert the law, or be lazy in politics. No one dares to have any luck.

This will undoubtedly make the politics of the Daqian Dynasty clear and make the national power of the Daqian Dynasty flourish.

only……

Li Cun didn't dare to think about it.

Li Cun could only reward Li Biao with two Taoist priests who were good at maintaining health and two court ladies who were good at serving others, hoping that they could take good care of Li Biao.

in fact--

The reason why Li Cun didn't persuade Li Biao again.

First of all, because Li Cun knows very well that Li Biao is already an adult, and his character has basically been developed. emperor.

The second reason is that Li Cun knows better than anyone else that he is too indulgent, and he might die in a storm someday. If that is the case, even if he can control Li Biao for a while, he cannot control Li Biao forever. At that time, Li Biao would be the emperor of the Dagan Dynasty who held the highest authority in the Dagan Dynasty. Didn't he just do whatever he wanted?

Again, it is because such Li Biao is really easy to use, capable, and extremely diligent. Under his governance, no officials dare to be corrupt or lazy. It is no exaggeration to say that Li Cun feels that he is not as good as Li Biao Okay, so, with Li Biao helping Li Cun govern the Daqian Dynasty, Li Cun can really plunge into the crowd of women and indulge in pleasure.

This feeling made Li Cun really want to stop.

Moreover, for a while, Li Cun really couldn't find a second person who could replace Li Biao.

——Li Cun can't find a second person who can replace Li Biao, otherwise, there will be no second day, and the Daqian Dynasty will have to mess up.

The second is because Li Cun also has a fluke mentality.

——Li Cun felt that if he didn't sleep with her three or five women, he would still be happy until he was 40 years old. Li Biao just worked hard and didn't have any other bad hobbies. Why can't he live to be 60 or 40 years old? This is in this era when the average life expectancy is less than 60 years old. If Li Biao can really live to be five or sixty years old, it is not bad. Also, you must know that the average life expectancy of the emperor is only 44 years old. If Li Biao can really live to five or sixty years old, It must have reached the standard, but whether I can reach the standard in the end is really hard to say.

In the end, Li Cun could only convince himself not to dictate too much to Li Biao by saying, "If a dynasty wants to prosper for a long time, it can only fully trust its young people." The young eagle will one day learn to fly on its own...

……

After throwing all the mountain-like memorials to Li Biao, Li Cun walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As soon as he left the Yangxin Hall, Li Cun saw a big man with a tiger-like head standing at the door obediently.

Only then did Li Cun remember that he had called Yue Yun.

Li Cun said with an amiable smile, "Yue Aiqing, I've kept you waiting for a long time."

Yue Yun hurriedly said: "Don't dare, I will wait for the official for as long as I want, and I will be willing!"

Li Cun seemed a little weird when he heard this, but he didn't think too much, but said like Tuo Gu: "You and the prince are life and death friends. You have eaten in a pot and slept in a bed. If you One day in the future, the crown prince will come to power, and the country will encounter a catastrophe..."

Without even thinking about it, Yue Yun blurted out: "I must be Guo Ziyi!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Yue Yun realized that his metaphor was somewhat inappropriate.

Guo Ziyi was loyal to the Tang Dynasty and rebuilt the Tang Dynasty, but that also meant that the "Anshi Rebellion" broke out in the Daqian Dynasty like the Tang Dynasty, which was too unlucky.

So Yue Yun hastily changed his words: "I didn't mean that, my great efforts will last forever, and I won't be prosperous..."

Li Cun interrupted Yue Yun's explanation with his hand, and said, "I understand what Aiqing means, so don't be nervous."

Then, Li Cun smiled freely and said: "There is no dynasty that lasts for thousands of generations. If one day, my descendants cannot manage Daqian well and let the people under their rule live and work in peace and contentment, then Daqian will perish." when."

As soon as Li Cun said this, Yue Yun immediately admired Li Cun even more, he thought to himself: "This is the mind of the first emperor through the ages!"

Afterwards, Li Cun smiled and said to Yue Yun: "It's my intention to ask you to send the prince back this time. You are not too young anymore. It's time to marry Li Chun."

When Yue Yun heard that Li Cun had asked him to come to the capital to marry a wife, he immediately beamed, and then he hurriedly responded loudly: "No!"

Yue Yun's voice sounded like a bell, and it seemed that he was born to be a fierce general.

Li Cun immediately liked Yue Yun even more.

Li Cun said: "I know that your father doesn't like women, so he must also forbid your brothers to take concubines."

As soon as Li Cun said this, Yue Yun immediately nodded vigorously with an aggrieved face.

That's the truth!

His emperor's father-in-law agreed to let their concubines take concubines first, but his father refused to let him, so he was almost 20 years old, and he was still a first-time boy!

Fortunately, he didn't die on the battlefield before, otherwise he would be lucky!

Then, Li Cun said something that made Yue Yun's big mouth almost reach his ears: "I have already ordered the Ministry of Rites to marry ten fertile beauties to Lichun, and all of them will be concubines for you in the future. "

Then Li Cun gave his reasons for doing so: "If you don't marry more concubines, how can you give me more cadres and raise good generals? Even your father can't understand this point, he is confused."

Then Li Cun said very humanely: "I know that your father and son are poor and have no money to support so many women. Don't worry, I will pay for you to raise these ten concubines."

Hearing what Li Cun said, Yue Yun was already a little carried away with joy.

As a result, Yue Yun got excited and accidentally said what was in his heart: "Don't worry, officials, I will definitely do many good things for me!"

Li Cun laughed out loud after hearing this. Whether it was breath or volume, this laughter was not inferior to the young and strong Yue Yun.
