I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 437 This is not a trick, it is martial arts

They knew that Li Tai was imprisoned in the ancestral temple, but they didn't know much about it because not much information about Li Tai had been leaked in Chang'an.

But what is certain is that the fucking King of Wei committed the heinous crime of treason, otherwise he would not have been deposed, and his fiefdom in Luoyang would not have been abolished.

"but."

"I don't care about any of this."

"No matter where you come from, you are all within the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

"They are all ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and they are all generals of the Tang Dynasty."

“This will never change.”

"I have someone, but I have to pay attention to one thing..." Li Zheng raised his hand, put up a finger, and stared at the commander of the parade ground caravan: "Those who are capable will go up, and those who are incapable will go down."

"of course."

"Before ability, there is loyalty."

"Be loyal to your country and be loyal to your ruler."

"As a man of the Chinese nation, if someone is disloyal to the country and unjust to the emperor, no matter how outstanding he is, I will not use him."

"This is my rule for people."

"This is also the rule of the future Tang Empire."

"Loyalty comes first."

“Ability comes second.”

Li Zheng said loudly.

His voice was so intimidating that it reached the ears of every general on the parade ground.

Subsequently.

Li Zheng raised his hand.

Several guards came carrying a huge piece of cloth, stood behind Li Zheng, and spread out the cloth.

A huge map, and the foreign and small countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty.

All of them were presented in front of the generals on the parade ground.

"Do you see it."

"This is the territory of our Great Tang."

“It’s vast and boundless, but it has an end.”

"There are dozens of vassal kings in the Tang Dynasty, intent on protecting the country."

“But I’m not going to follow suit.”

"In my opinion, these princes in charge of the military are a disaster."

"If the imperial court is weak, the princes will inevitably cause chaos, the whole country will be in turmoil, and Li Ming will suffer."

"Therefore, I have already reported to my father, the Emperor, to take away the military power of the princes and reduce their power."

"Similarly, this is also the purpose of my summoning you today." Li Zheng stared at the generals and shouted in a powerful voice.

Looking at this huge map, except for the deposed King of Lujiang, King of Wei, and King of Jing, all other vassal fiefs are clearly visible, forming a tight protection for the rewards given to the Tang Dynasty.

But again.

The existence of these vassal kings also surrounded the Tang Dynasty in layers.

Hear the words.

All the generals looked surprised.

They were all summoned directly by the Ministry of War and the Imperial Guards to meet the emperor, and they had no idea what to do.

"Swear allegiance to the Tang Dynasty until death."

Everyone knelt down to show their attitude.

Since Li Zheng has not yet been officially crowned as the crown prince, loyalty to the Tang Dynasty does not mean loyalty to him, Li Zheng. Only after the crowning, perhaps the loyalty system will undergo a change.

Perhaps we can see the loyalty of all the officials of the Tang Dynasty.

At that moment.

The human heart is unavoidable.

"The decree to take back the military power has been issued to all the princes in the world. From now on, the princes in the world will only be in charge of government affairs, not military power."

"The vassal kings can mobilize troops only after receiving a report from the Ministry of War and receiving the Emperor's approval and granting of military tokens."

"The feudal army will naturally no longer use the generals appointed by the feudal lord, so I have summoned you all."

"All of you generals are warriors of the Tang Dynasty. You are all capable if you are selected by the Duke of the Protectorate and General Chen. I also believe in your loyalty to the Tang Dynasty."

"You will be assigned to command the army in the vassal territory."

"For the Emperor, our Great Tang, and the people of the world, we will guard the borders and the world."

"Everyone."

"Would you like to?"

Li Zheng stared at the generals and shouted in a stern voice.

"Swear allegiance to the Tang Dynasty until death."

All the generals knelt on the ground and said in unison.

"Lord Protector of the Country, General Chen." Li Zheng looked at the two of them. "I am here."

Qin Jiansheng and the other person responded.

"As for how to arrange these generals and where to send them to fiefdoms, you two should draft a memorial for me in the next few days based on the military strength of each fiefdom," said Li Zheng.

"I obey your command." The two nodded immediately.

Finished explaining.

Li Zheng looked at the generals again.

"Guard the fiefdom and hold military power."

"The enfeoffment of a land and the appointment of a king may be an attempt to win over others. People's hearts are hard to predict, and human nature is hard to predict. I don't know what you are thinking."

"But I only have one word to say."

"In everything, loyalty and righteousness come first."

"Guarding the country is a merit."

"I will reward you."

"But if he dares to betray the court and collude with the king, I will never let him go."

When these generals were stationed in their fiefdoms, Li Zheng could imagine that they would definitely be the crazy targets for those who wanted to be crowned kings. As generals commanding the armies in their fiefdoms, they would definitely be wooed with all kinds of money and even beautiful women.

The generals on the training ground knelt down hastily, "We dare not."

"If you dare to betray the court."

"Just like this stone."

Li Zheng increased the intensity of the intimidation and pointed at a stone not far in front of the generals.

Raise your hand.

He mobilized his internal energy and performed the first move of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms directly.

A palm strike came down.

The internal force burst out into the air, creating a gust of air that blew directly into the faces of the generals.

There was a boom.

The huge rock shattered into pieces in an instant.

See this scene.

Except for Li Zheng's personal guards, everyone else on the parade ground was stunned.

"how did you do that?"

"I used your innate divine power to smash this huge rock in mid-air."

"Is it true, as the rumors say, that Your Highness is the reincarnation of a god?"

Everyone looked on in amazement.

"Don't question my ability."

"Don't think I'm kidding you."

If you betray the court, you will be like this stone.

"When you go to various places to be enfeoffed and command armies, just remember one thing: the wealth and honor that the title of king can give you are all from the court, and what the title of king cannot give, I can give as long as you can make achievements."

"Even this kind of power." Li Zheng said majestically.

This word.

It brought a kind of deterrence and temptation to all the generals.

"Swear allegiance to the Tang Dynasty until death."

"Swear allegiance to the Tang Dynasty until death..."

All the generals knelt down in awe and shouted in unison.

As the generals retreated.

Qin Jiansheng and Chen Xuanli walked up to Li Zheng with great curiosity.

"Your Highness."

"Just now, was this a magic trick?" Qin Jiansheng couldn't help but ask.

"trick?"

Li Zheng smiled and gave Zhao Ming a wink.
