Although Queen Changsun was very surprised, Li Er still had a smile on his face. Seeing the Queen's confusion, he smiled and said, "Guanyin Maid, this is because you don't know something. Although the disbandment of the pirates does not directly mean that it is a good thing.
, the imperial court still has to slowly eliminate them, but for the great cause of exploring America, this is enough."
"America..." Queen Changsun suddenly realized, yes. America is the main thread of everything!
It was precisely for the purpose of conquering America that we had all the troubles we have today. Since it was conducive to the voyage of America, it was indeed worthy of the emperor's happiness.
Empress Changsun's face softened, and she didn't want to talk more about her husband staying up late. Anyway, since the biggest worry of traveling to America has been solved, the rest should not cause the emperor to stay up late frequently. But since that is the case
After talking about this, Empress Changsun still subconsciously asked, "Your Majesty, although it is a good thing to have a new look at the opening of the border, these pirates are fleeing in all directions. Although it is difficult to cause another major case, the people are afraid that they will not be able to bear their disturbance."
, we still need to carefully eliminate them.”
In fact, there is no need for Empress Changsun to ask about these things, because these are not strategic and philosophical discussions, but discussions on specific government affairs - and as a female concubine in the harem, it is best to avoid such things as much as possible, Changsun
The queen has always been able to carry things clearly.
Rather, Empress Changsun should be regarded as the one who knows everything clearly and is best at staying in the right position among the queens of the classical empire. Li Er is the supreme emperor, has a high personal charm, and there is no shortage of women around him, and Empress Changsun is also
Being able to be favored throughout your life is not only due to good genes, but also because of your mental structure. The reason why I asked this question was just to wait for Li Er to say that there is no need to worry, and then end the topic and urge the emperor to drink the ginseng soup.
As for America, the logic is very simple. The pirates' "war is unfavorable" is not enough to provide confidence to maritime merchants, because there are definitely different opinions on how unfavorable the war is. However, the pirates directly dispersed and disbanded. This is a landmark event.
It is a result that belongs to the fait accompli that has no room for different opinions.
After this incident, the emperor's plan will surely proceed normally.
But what the queen didn't expect was that when she said this, Li Er showed a sly smile and said, "Guanyin, this is a good thing."
"The pirates are raging along the coast. Although the people are said to be suffering a little, they have dispersed after all. Although they will still cause nuisance, there is no answer. The harm to the people will only be greatly reduced!"
"That's right."
Before Empress Changsun could respond, she heard Li Er continue excitedly, "But the reason why this group of pirates broke up, I have read the report, is because the number of people among them is uneven, and many of them are the leader of the pirates who just came this year."
Recruit, and they are basically young people who came from colleges and failed in exams."
"This..." Originally, Empress Changsun was not going to ask, but Li Er suddenly mentioned this, and the empress frowned again, "They are all young people? They have all been trained by the academy. Isn't this a big mistake?
wonderful?"
Queen Changsun was extremely surprised!
If Li Er brought up the previous topic, to her it was just a chat in the emperor's excitement, a kind of sharing of happiness. But about this part, Empress Changsun couldn't help but become really concerned.
After all, in the past few years in the Tang Dynasty, the students trained by various state and county colleges were all young people of similar age to their own children...
If these young people also become a big problem for the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't it be detrimental to Sheng'er's reputation? I haven't seen the children for a long time, but it doesn't mean that the mother doesn't care.
Then again, so many of these educated young people turned out to be thieves, filling up a pirate fleet with hundreds of large ships. This scale is simply shocking.
Wouldn't this be a serious concern for the imperial court?
Queen Changsun was very puzzled by this!
However, Li Er said with a smile, "It is not good for young people who have read books and grown up to become thieves, but it also depends on the situation. Now the Tang Dynasty has the power of submarines, and the world is frightened. These juniors have more flexible brains than those old guys.
, will definitely not challenge the imperial court."
"But……"
Empress Changsun simply didn't know whether to complain about such a stupid person. According to Li Er's words, wouldn't it be difficult to deal with the pirates who were able to assess the situation?
"No, no, Maid Guanyin, although these scholars are thieves, they are of Chinese blood after all. These little guys are now scattered, and they cannot fight against the imperial court in the next step. What will these kids do? They can only find some place to stay first.
Just wait for the opportunity and then take action. As for where this opportunity comes from?"
"Of course we have to wait until the Tang Dynasty has its own problems, China becomes unstable, or they themselves become full-fledged. But will that be the time?"
"What your Majesty means." Empress Changsun's eyes were stunned, and she suddenly seemed to understand what Li Er was referring to.
According to the emperor's meaning, to be precise, it is not Li Er's "meaning", but the perspective.
From Li Er's point of view, although this guy is also a thief, unlike ordinary scholars and bureaucrats, Li Er himself does not seem to regard these young scholars who have defected to the thieves as a new generation of thieves.
Or seriously speaking, there is no "seem". Not only did Li Er not regard these scholars as thieves, but deep in his eyes, there was a faint feeling of high hopes!
This look, this wording, and this mentality.
If it is ordinary courtiers or literati, or even most of the people, they will often be shocked when they see it.
The surprise on Queen Changsun's face only lasted for a moment, and then turned into a touch of tenderness.
Others don't understand the emperor Li Er. To most of the scholars, farmers, industrialists and merchants in the world, Li Er is like the snow-capped mountains of Uzang.
High, lonely, cold, and dead. It weighs heavily on the souls of everyone in this world.
But for Queen Changsun, Li Er has always been a young knight in Wuchuan County. Li Er's childhood and youth were spent in the bitter cold of the Chinese frontier, in fierce battles with the barbarians, and in thinking about the empire. Now today.
Today, there is no need to think about it. Li Er completely regarded these young people who defected to the pirates as his former self, even though these young people are now the most viable opposition force within the Tang Dynasty.
At this moment, Li Er's eyes also became dazed. For him, the fate of China basically depends on his own operations, but after all, he cannot live forever. Although he still has fierce generals and counselors under his command, he can trust him and entrust some to him in the future.
Things, but if the people are protected by these guys, who will protect these people themselves? After thinking about it, the only thing I can do is to open up borders.
