Datang Longya

Chapter 939 Spokesperson

Leng Feng knew that Li Shimin was asking about his plans.Most of the veterans of Zhenguan are now retired. If he is still in the court, then when Cheng Qian succeeds to the throne, there will be an extra emperor in the court.

Emperor teachers have existed since ancient times, but an emperor teacher with power and prestige must never appear in the court.

Leng Feng stretched his waist: "What else can I do? Retire early. When you decide to abdicate, I will retire. When you become the Supreme Emperor, Chengqian will naturally not restrict you too much. When the time comes , Let's organize a group to travel around the Tang Dynasty, isn't it better than being bored in the palace?"

Li Shimin curled his lips again and again: "When you travel around, are you not afraid that the officials will recognize you as a courtier? Just traveling, you can't afford extravagance. If you run out secretly, do you think the officials will let you?"

What Leng Feng said, he really thought about it, but the dream is beautiful, but there are many obstacles to implement it, even if he will become the Supreme Emperor.

As for the throne, if he was the first one, he would never let go so easily.The emperor does not die and the throne is not passed on. This is a fixed rule in history. Even if there is a Zen throne, it is mostly due to mutiny, not because the emperor really wants the Zen throne.

The few years in Jiucheng Palace made Li Shimin leave the throne, and at the same time weakened his attachment to the throne.In the past, although he felt that being an emperor was very tiring, he never thought of letting go.

Leng Feng was relieved to be able to simply persuade Li Shimin to abdicate.

Du Ruhui said at the beginning that if he wanted to avoid the crony disputes brought about by the position of prince, he had to find a way to let the emperor take the throne.

When the crown prince was supported by the emperor himself, there would be no "true heir" dispute, and the thoughts of many careerists would be completely eliminated.

It is gratifying to achieve the goal, but now Leng Feng is more concerned about what Li Shimin is insisting on.

"Tell me, why do you have to delay for another year? What will happen in this year?"

Li Shimin gave Leng Feng a blank look, but he still said: "I am waiting for the demise of Silla and Baekje. After the demise of Silla and Baekje, all the enemies around the Tang Dynasty will be completely emptied. Silla and Baekje were the only ones left around the Tang Dynasty, so why not wait for them to be destroyed and collect the achievements of the surrounding countries? If future generations talk about it, Silla and Baekje may become my regret."

Leng Feng nodded, Li Shimin is addicted to collecting cards, and wants to wipe out all the countries around Datang.

"However, you have to think about Chengqian. You have cleaned up all the enemy countries. What is left of Chengqian? The territory of the Tang Dynasty is enough for future generations to develop for hundreds of years. What's more, it is the current territory. Datang is also reluctant to control, no matter how many, it is easy to cause problems. You have all the achievements in your arms, and Chengqian will become a conservative at that time, which will make him very uncomfortable."

As an emperor, if he doesn't have the merits of destroying the enemy's country, then he is not perfect.Even, when the time comes, the posthumous title will not even be mixed with the word "Wu".

Li Shimin baited Leng Feng again: "You forgot, didn't you still have Tubo? As one of the number one enemies of the Tang Dynasty back then, this achievement is enough for success. You, as a master, should worry about it."

Leng Feng smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

In fact, Li Chengqian often complained to him.As a prince, he can be said to be successful. Throughout the ages, there are few princes who sit as firmly as a mountain like him.But as a prince, he failed again.Because, in the position of prince, no matter what the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty looked like, it was difficult for people to count his contribution into it.In any case, the impression he left on people is that he is a "successful king".

With Li Shimin as his father, Li Chengqian was both helpless and helpless.At the same time, there may be Li Yuan who is helpless.The radiance of Tang Taizong Li Shimin was so strong that many people in later generations, even if they had studied serious history, would habitually think that he was the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty after a period of time.

With such an emperor caught in the middle, both the previous emperor and the succeeding emperor would be helpless.

Perhaps, all future emperors will be helpless.After all, in the original history of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was the most outstanding, and Wu Zetian was obviously the emperor because she was a daughter.Because of her relationship, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi showed his head a little.It was Tang Xuanzong who was struggling to maintain his sense of existence by relying on another prosperous age.

As for Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, Tang Ruizong Li Dan, Tang Suzong Li Heng, Tang Daizong Li Yu, Tang Dezong Li Shi, Tang Shunzong Li Song, Tang Xianzong Li Chun, Tang Muzong Li Heng, Tang Jingzong Li Zhan, Tang Wenzong Li Ang, Tang Wuzong Li Yan, Tang Xuanzong Li Chen, Tang Yizong Li Wei, Tang Xizong Li Xuan, Tang Zhaozong Li Ye, Tang Aidi Li Wei.

What the hell are these emperors?

Seeing the smile on the corner of Leng Feng's mouth, Li Shimin said irritably, "What are you thinking, you always feel that you are mocking me."

Leng Feng laughed loudly: "Nothing, nothing."

Picking up half a bowl of ice cream, before it melted, Leng Feng finished it quickly.

After Leng Feng finished eating, Li Shimin said: "Let your son Leng Jing go to the Ministry of War to prepare for it tomorrow. When you retire, just let him inherit the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. Your Leng family is a big family anyway, why are you in no hurry?" Are you going to arrange your son in the court?"

In addition to the profound background of the big family, the power of the court is also indispensable.It can be said that the officials of the court are the spokespersons of the big family.This was the case with the five surnames in the past, and it is still the case with all the families now.

Ever since Chang Sun Chong graduated, Changsun Wuji had deliberately arranged for him to sneak into the military, but he was resisted by many parties and failed.After Fang Yiai got married, he also got a servant.Du He, Cheng Chusi
But among these people, Leng Jing was the only one.According to Li Shimin's knowledge, the only time Leng Jing went out was when he went to the Tubo border and served as a soldier for a while.

The power of the five surnames has gradually dissipated, and the families of Zhenguan officials have taken their place.

Although the existence of the family will indeed affect the imperial power, the imperial power also needs the support of these families.

Cracking down on the five surnames and cultivating new families is the basis for Li Shimin, as his father, to prepare for Li Chengqian.

After Li Chengqian succeeded to the throne, he was able to directly obtain the allegiance of these families, making the imperial power extremely stable.

What's more, although Leng Feng was just a foolish minister of the Ministry of War, surprisingly, the generals of the Tang military were very supportive.Li Shimin felt that it would be a good arrangement for Leng Jing to take over as Minister of the Ministry of War.

After thinking about it, Leng Feng nodded: "Okay, although I have the idea of ​​letting Tang Jin take over, but now that I think about it, it's not bad to let Leng Jing take over."
