Capital Datang

In the imperial study room behind the Hall of Liangyi, Li Zhi, Li Yun, and Li Zhen sat on chairs casually, chatting and waiting for Li Yun. (you can find this site)

More than ten years have passed, and Li Yun is already a middle-aged man in his thirties, and his figure is also a little fat and deformed. Even if he is sitting on a chair, he can still see his protruding belly.As for Li Zhen, she looked more robust and mighty, taller than Li Min, wearing a military uniform, with dark complexion and sharp eyes, exuding a fierce murderous aura all over her body, which made people feel like when the two armies confronted each other. The kind of pressure hits the face.

"Seventh brother, how is your situation in Tianzhu now? I heard that since the last time myna led troops to suppress a group of rebels, no one dared to resist anymore?" Li Zhi sat on a chair and asked Li Yun with a smile .

"Except that your starling killed too many people, resulting in a serious shortage of miners and farmers in Tianzhu, there are no other problems!" Li Yunnai glanced at Li Zhen next to him and said.

In order to cooperate with the actions of Datang and Daqi, Li Yun and Li Zhen put pressure on Dashi together and occupied the entire Tianzhu in the shortest time. The rule is also a little unstable, so various conflicts and uprisings broke out from time to time. [

Regarding this situation, Li Zhen immediately led the army to suppress it. As a result, the entire Tianzhu continent was flooded with blood. .Although there is no official statistics, how many people did Li Zhen buried alive in this crackdown?However, according to the investigation and estimation of some scholars in later generations, the number of rebels who were buried alive was at least two to three million.

Although Li Zhen's massacre seemed very bloody and cruel, it was also extremely effective. In the shortest possible time, he spread his reputation as the Emperor of Destruction throughout Tianzhu, and all Brahmans firmly believed in it.Li Zhen must be the reincarnation of Shiva, the god of destruction. He came to Tianzhu to destroy some old order, and then let Li Yun, the reincarnation of Vishnu, the god of protection, rebuild a new order that is more in line with the will of God.

It is also by means of this combination of force and religion that Li Yun and Li Zhen, with the help of this suppression of the country, not only were not disturbed by the uprisings in various places, but once again strengthened their domestic rule, especially With the expansion of New Brahmanism, almost [-]% of the Indians have converted to New Brahmanism.This made Tianzhu's theocratic rule finally mature, becoming the third country after Rome and Dashi.

When Li Zhen heard Li Yun complaining that she had killed too many people, she curled her lips and said, "Seventh brother, you are wrong. You know the situation in Tianzhu better than I do. We rely on the few people in our hands to rule. A place as big as Tianzhu, if you don’t suppress them with such bloody means, maybe there will be some troubles in the future?”

Speaking of this, Li Zhen paused for a moment, and then said: "And you see the effect is not bad now, all Tianzhu people have become honest, no one dares to resist anymore, and they don't care about our sinicization. No matter how contradictory. Even the sanitation conditions in the city have improved a lot, all of which are due to me!"

Regarding Li Zhen's sophistry, Li Yun couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Your massacre has caused the population of Tianzhu to drop sharply. In some cities, you can't even see a person, and the sanitary conditions are naturally much better than the previous situation where feces and urine are everywhere. gone."

At this time, Li Zhi was also amused by the words of the two elder brothers. At the same time, he was also worried that they would really quarrel, so he hurriedly interrupted them and said, "Seventh Brother, I heard that Tianzhu is very hot. I can’t eat it, so many people will become dark and thin after they get there, like starlings. Although they are much stronger, they are indeed darker than before, but I see you are just the opposite. Not only are you not thin, but you are also fat A lot, do you have any secrets?"

Hearing Li Zhi asked about this, before Li Yun could answer, Li Zhen rushed to speak: "Ninth Brother, you don't know, Seventh Brother is a person who enjoys himself, and he stays in a special palace every day. You can put saltpeter on the walls to cool down, so you don’t have to worry about getting sunburned, how can soldiers like us ride around the barracks every day, how can we not get sunburned?”

"You bastard, you still wronged me when you got a bargain!" Li Yun laughed and scolded Li Zhen as soon as Li Zhen's words fell, "If you think I'm enjoying it, then we can change it. You will handle government affairs for me, and I will Lead the army to expand the territory!"

"Hey, no need, I still think cavalry fighting is more suitable for me, let me sit on a chair to deal with government affairs, then it's better to kill me!" Seeing that Li Yun was a little angry, Li Zhen immediately succumbed and begged for mercy .

Tianzhu's political system is different from that of the Great Tang Dynasty and the Great Tang Dynasty. It implements a double emperor system, which is somewhat similar to some periods in Rome.Among them, Li Yun was in charge of domestic administration and economy, while Li Zhen was in charge of the outside world and commanded the national army.The division of labor between the two is different, which can be seen from their body shapes. For example, Li Yun stays in the palace every day to deal with government affairs. It would be strange if a person does not gain weight in a few years.

Just when the three of them were having a lively conversation, the door of the study opened, and Li Yin walked in from the outside. Seeing the situation inside, he was taken aback for a moment, then walked over, found a random place to sit down and laughed, "What are you talking about?" So happy to chat?"

"Sixth Brother, we are talking about Seventh Brother's figure, look at his current appearance, I guess he will compete with Fourth Brother in a few years!" Li Zhen took the lead in teasing, among the princes, When it comes to obesity, Li Tai is the first one to count. He is so fat that he even has trouble walking. Although Li Yun is still far from fat to that extent, if he keeps getting fat like this, he may really become the second. Li Tai.

Hearing this, Li Yun also looked at Li Yun's body shape, and then said with a smile: "Seventh brother, you really should lose some weight. When people are too fat, they will easily cause some diseases of wealth. For example, like the fourth brother, he is younger than him. We are not much older, but I heard that his health has not been very good in the past few years, and he fell ill every now and then, and even this time when the emperor called him back to Chang'an, he fell ill again on the way, and he still hasn't arrived yet."

Regarding Li Yin's words, Li Yun naturally did not dare not listen to him, and the other party still cared about his body, so he also nodded with a smile and said: "Thank you, Brother Six, it's because I've been too lazy these past few years. No matter how busy you are, you will take some time to exercise every day, at least you must be able to ride a horse, otherwise all the riding skills you learned from your father will be useless."

Hearing Li Yun mentioned his father Li Shimin inadvertently, Li Yun and Li Zhen fell silent for a while. Thinking of their father's body, they, sons, felt quite heavy.

"Seventh brother, eighth brother, you saw the father today, how is his spirit?" Sensing the heavy atmosphere, Li Yin was the first to break the silence and said.

I saw Li Yun and Li Zhen looked at each other, and then Li Yun spoke first: "Father is very happy to see us, and he also put forward some opinions on our Tianzhu. In addition, he also asked us some family affairs, chat There are many naughty things about my eighth brother and I when we were young, and it can be seen that the father is very calm about life and death."

"Well, I also feel that the father is much more cheerful than before, and he also cares more about our family affairs, but only slightly mentions the state affairs, and even in front of us, he no longer has the image of the emperor in the past. Like an ordinary father, this makes me and Seventh Brother feel very relaxed." At this time, Li Zhen also continued to speak, and at the same time, there was a look of nostalgia on his face, since he left the palace when he was ten years old. , I seldom felt the warmth between father and son from Li Shimin, but now that Li Shimin is seriously ill, the relationship between father and son has become more harmonious. [

Originally, Li Yin opened his mouth to break the silence in order to enliven the atmosphere, but when Li Shimin was mentioned, the atmosphere between them became more serious instead.Li Yin also quickly discovered this problem, and hastily changed the topic again: "Ninth brother, when I came here just now, I met a man by the way, and then chatted with him for a while, you and the seventh and eighth brothers guess Now, who did I go to see?"

Hearing that Li Yin changed the subject and asked them to guess the riddle, the three of Li Zhi were refreshed, and Li Zhen said again first: "Sixth brother, you know the most people, but now many old ministers have passed away. Among the few remaining, The one with the best relationship with you is naturally Uncle Hejian, so you are going to see him, right?"

Li Xiaogong is not only Li's elder, but also the father of Li Tie's buddy Li Yong. In addition, after Li Jing passed away, Li Xiaogong became the only vice-principal of the Datang Military Academy. Over the years, the Datang Military Academy and the Daqi Military Academy have developed a lot. Li Zhen and Li Xiaogong often communicated through letters, so Li Zhen was the first to think of him.

But before Li could answer, Li Zhi denied it first: "Since the sixth brother asked us to guess that he went to meet someone, it means that the person he met was unreasonable, so we need to guess. In civil and military affairs, Uncle and Sixth Brother are the most at odds, so I guess Sixth Brother, you must have gone to see Uncle!"

Seeing that Li Zhi guessed the answer all of a sudden, Li also showed a somewhat satisfied smile and said: "The analysis of the ninth brother is reasonable, and it is also in line with the facts. I did go to see the eldest grandson, and I also persuaded the other party to give up the aspect. Not only can the life of their eldest grandson be preserved, but it can also reduce some resistance to the future reforms of the ninth younger brother."

Li Yun and Li Zhen were obviously very surprised that Li went to meet Changsun Ji. They stared at each other for a few times, and then said in unison: "Sixth brother, you are not sick, just rely on one mouth to go." How could he agree to persuade Changsun Ji to give up the interests of the family?"
