Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 96 The faint king
Tiance Mansion, meeting room.

"A tyrant! A tyrant! He gave the position of crown prince just for a woman! He is simply a tyrant!" Du Ruhui slammed the table and cursed!

"Not necessarily. If I exchange the demon girl Wanwan for the position of crown prince, it would be a good deal!" Changsun Wuji said, rubbing his chin.

Fang Xuanling sneered and said, "You believe it? Anyway, I don't believe it! If we get the position of crown prince in this way, won't it make future generations laugh at us? What will future generations say about us when they write history books?"

Chang Sun Wuji said: "Then what do you think we should do?"

"From what His Majesty said, it seems that the Crown Prince has made some mistake. In this case, we should seize the opportunity and write a letter to His Majesty asking him to appoint another Crown Prince!" Fang Xuanling suggested.

"How can that tyrant emperor listen to you?" Du Ruhui cursed, "How can you forgive the prince just because he offers a woman to you? This is outrageous!"

"The position of the crown prince is so important! Even Yang Guang didn't do this!"

"Indeed! The previous dynasties of Wei and Qi did not make such a ridiculous decision on the position of crown prince. Really..."

"Should we arrest Wanwan or not?"

"Of course I'll catch her! She's a demon girl anyway. What if she really changes the position of the crown prince?"

“…This is too outrageous!”

"Will the tyrant king kill three warriors with three peaches?"

"A tyrant king shouldn't be that smart!"

"Makes sense!"

Li Shimin sat at the top, looking at his advisers and soldiers, who were having a lively and friendly discussion.

After hearing the news brought by Li Shimin from the palace, they first felt incredible and absurd. Finally, thinking about Li Yuan's old and lecherous style, they felt it was reasonable.

Everyone thought that Li Yuan became arrogant and daring after he proclaimed himself emperor, but no one ever suspected that Li Yuan seemed to have become a different person.

While they were discussing, they suddenly heard an imperial decree coming from the palace.

The order was simple. Li Yuan had already increased the food supply of the imperial guards by ten times. The next step was to increase the food supply of the entire army! Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji were also to increase the treatment of their own soldiers.

The Tang Dynasty implemented the Fu Bing system, with the "Fu" as the basic unit. Each Fu had a certain number of soldiers and generals. Tiance Fu was Li Shimin's "Fu".

He had his own generals and soldiers, as well as advisers, and the Tiance Palace was like a small imperial court.

In particular, the soldiers of Tiance Mansion were all his subordinates, and he paid their salaries. Therefore, these soldiers only recognized him and not Li Yuan.

The government soldiers are the basis for him to gain a foothold in the world!

Not only him, but also Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

What does it mean that Li Yuan asked him to improve the treatment of the soldiers in the palace?
It’s increased tenfold!
Wouldn't it mean that only three thousand men would consume the military pay of thirty thousand men? Wouldn't that bankrupt him?
Li Shimin asked Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others: "What do you think?"

"This is to win people's hearts!" Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling looked at each other and saw the meaning behind this decree.

"Your Majesty has improved the food for the imperial guards and asked the King of Qin to do the same." Fang Xuanling said, "If the King of Qin does not improve, it will damage his reputation."

Du Ruhui went on to say: "If the King of Qin raises the food standards, the credit goes to His Majesty, but the money is paid by the King of Qin. Over time, the Tiance Mansion will inevitably be bankrupted."

Ten times the food is no joke!
With the strength of the Tiance Mansion, it wouldn't be a big deal if they could just eat it for a month or two, but if it goes on like this for a long time, they will be bankrupt!

What’s even more frightening is that once the food prices are raised, it will be very difficult to lower them again.

This is an open conspiracy to win over the hearts of the troops.

"Although His Majesty is incompetent, he is quite scheming!" Fang Xuanling sneered: "My suggestion is to follow! With His Majesty's personality, I'm afraid he will reduce the food supply soon." "When the food supply is reduced, we can reduce the food supply as well. Isn't that wonderful?"

Since you have assumed a good reputation, you must also bear a bad reputation!

Li Shimin nodded. He really thought so. What was wrong with his father? He had to play the role of a sage monarch and increase the food tenfold.

If you are not in charge of your family, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.

Ten times the food doesn’t just cost ten times the money!

Who knows, in a few days, someone will tell Li Yuan that he has spent too much money and those soldiers don't deserve to eat such good food!
Li Yuan changed his orders every day and lowered the food standards!
"In that case, let's also improve the food supplies for the soldiers in the palace! Not only theirs, but yours as well!" Li Shimin said loudly while looking at the generals of the Tian Ce Palace under his command.

He is not a stingy person.

"Thank you, King Qin!" The generals of Tian Ce Palace saluted Li Shimin together.

"For the competition the day after tomorrow, I already have a new candidate!" Li Shimin looked at the generals and said, "It's Mr. Mo."

"Isn't it General Li Jing?" Changsun Wuji asked puzzledly: "General Li Jing's Ten Bloody Fighting Styles may not lose to Kedazhi!"

The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. At the New Year's Eve dinner, it is the tradition of the Li family to hold a martial arts competition to demonstrate the Li family's martial spirit.

In this competition, Li Jiancheng sent the Turkic master Kedazhi.

Ke Dazhi was young, but he had made a name for himself in Chang'an, and made the generals of Tian Ce Mansion unable to raise their heads.

Li Jiancheng used Kedazhi to hit the morale of Tian Ce Mansion, so this competition was very important to Tian Ce Mansion.

Now, Li Shimin suddenly chose someone who was not from Tiance Mansion. How could the generals in Tianfu City not be surprised?

"Mr. Mo is a man from the martial arts world whom I met by chance. He has superb swordsmanship and has exchanged moves with Kedazhi. He is the right person!" Li Shimin said, looking at them.

"This..." After hearing what Li Shimin said, the people from Tian Ce Mansion stopped talking.

If it comes to military affairs, they will hang up Kedazhi and beat him. But in terms of fighting, they really can't beat Kedazhi!

In the underworld, being bad is the original sin!
The Mr. Mo mentioned by Li Shimin was actually Kou Zhong's good brother, the other member of the Tang Dynasty Twin Bugs, Xu Ziling.

At this time, he was pretending to be Ba Dao Yue Shan, waiting for Li Yuan to come to him.

The domineering Yue Shan is an older brother that Li Yuan met when he was young and wandering the world. He is more than 20 years older than Li Yuan and holds a very important position in Li Yuan's heart.

Xu Ziling had defeated the South China Sea master Huang Gongcuo a few days ago and officially announced his arrival in Chang'an.

So, as long as he waits, he will wait for Li Yuan.

This wait lasted for a whole day and night. Xu Ziling was thinking about whether to try another approach when he suddenly heard a noise outside the door.

"Is it a knife?" Xu Ziling said in Yue Shan's tone.

"Xiaodao" is not an electric car, but the name Yue Shan gave to Li Yuan.

"No!" Shi Fei pushed open the door and said, "The one in front of you is the Governor of Liangzhou, the Governor of Yongzhou, the Governor of Puzhou, the Generals of the Twelve Guards, the Shangshu Ling of the Grand Secretariat of the East Shaanxi Road, the Shangshu Ling of the Grand Secretariat of the Yizhou Road, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, the Minister of the Interior, the Grand Commandant, the Supreme Pillar State, the General of the Heavenly Strategy, the King of Qin, the Great Saint of Civil and Military Affairs, the Great Guangxiao Emperor, and the father of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin!"

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the head of the Li Clan, Li Yuan!"

Xu Ziling looked at Li Yuan who had pushed the door open with a slightly bewildered look, and said, "Xiao Dao, didn't you come here alone?"

After hearing Li Yuan say so much, he thought that Li Yuan brought a lot of people with him and was afraid that there wouldn't be enough room here!
