Li Er now wished he could tear these aristocratic Turks to pieces on the spot.
People like Mu De can't live without riding on the heads of the people of the Tang Dynasty, right?
I beg these guys to get out of here as soon as possible, so that I, Mr. Li, can abdicate as soon as possible and give my son to the prince...
But when I thought about it again, I realized that I had thought too much.
I'm worried about internal and external troubles, I want to think about it, but I can't do it.
It takes Sheng'er to tear it apart by hand.
So Li Er found a very embarrassing and painful situation:
If you want to abdicate as soon as possible and become a bastard, you must first resolve internal and external troubles as soon as possible.
If you want to solve internal and external troubles as soon as possible, you have to... let Sheng'er take over first!
...Who do you think can withstand this?
Li Er became upset, thinking that this throne was really fun. When he didn't get it, he wanted to get it every day, and when he got it, he wanted to run away every day.
Other emperors don’t seem to be like this, right?
The more he thought about it, the more trouble he got, so Li Er had to divert his attention.
"Hey, tell me, can this elite army... be successful?"
"Although we have new weapons, in order to save money, we have to disarm... This scale is small, and I always feel a little uneasy!"
At this time, several ministers were lowering their heads and thinking about the problem.
When Li Er said this, everyone was suddenly shocked.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that this is true...if they heard it from hearsay, I'm afraid their first reaction would not be a strategy to strengthen the country, but a lie to confuse the public!
After all, regardless of the quality of the army, given its scale, first of all, its momentum can intimidate a large number of Xiaoxiao.
If this is a stronger weapon, the quality has been improved, but can this really...achieve the expected effect?
"Whether the extra military quality can fill the vacancies of these soldiers...it is indeed open to question."
As the Minister of the Ministry of War, Du Ruhui thought about it before saying.
Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling also nodded. This matter is indeed a bit confusing.
but……
Li Jing snorted directly.
"Except for Your Majesty, who among you has personally led an army?"
"Thousands of troops are easy to come by, but one general is hard to find. The bravery of one man cannot be compared to a million troops, but I tell you, a force of 1,800 elites can really sweep through an army of tens of thousands, and there will be no problem at all."
"Don't you hear about Wei Wu's tiger and leopard cavalry? Don't you hear about the Jinwu guards in the Western Han Dynasty?"
Li Jing suddenly mentioned ancient events, and Du Ruhui and others were shocked.
What a sudden awakening.
These elite troops really relied on their quality to defeat more with less, and created great achievements in history...
Li Er was also shocked.
He has really led troops, but because of his recent anxiety, he is still very worried about the future.
When Li Jing said this, many years of muscle memory came back.
It immediately reminded me of the war epics created by countless powerful armies.
Now, is it finally Datang’s turn?...
"Alas... With Sheng'er here, I don't seem to have to worry about anything!..."
…
Not long after that, Li Er took action with Du Ruhui.
Du Ruhui was the Prime Minister of the current dynasty and had been promoted to Minister of War. This network of connections and resources was no joke, let alone carrying His Majesty's handwriting.
In less than three days, almost all the saltpeter and sulfur in Chang'an City were collected.
There were several large carriages packed with people, and they were all sent to Li Sheng's village!
Li Sheng was naturally overjoyed to receive these large carts of gifts. He originally thought that some of the items were hard to find, but he didn't expect... Lao Li and the others were so well-connected that they gave away so many items at once!
Li Sheng thought that if all the sulfur and saltpeter from several carriages were turned into compressed pyrotechnics, several hills would be flattened.
Do some experiments with fire yao, and there won't be any problems.
It’s just a matter of waiting for the finished product to come out!
And at the same time.
Li Er brought Li Sheng's strategy to the court and began to prepare for a counterattack.
The first is to announce the existence of sweet potatoes and bring good fortune to the world.
The second is to thoroughly investigate Cui Zhengde and disclose his numerous evil deeds.
As long as the bottom line is investigated, the Cui family of Qinghe can be thrown into the abyss!
…
South of Chang'an City.
Several old men gathered in a quiet and elegant courtyard.
This courtyard looks simple, but in fact it is surrounded by rockeries and running water, making it look like it was made from nature. Every beam and column is made of top-notch mahogany.
The exquisiteness of this landscaping is even inferior to that of Li Er's palace, and it must be a home of a very wealthy man.
There is no doubt that the owner of this courtyard is...
The current family!
Seven old men gathered in one place, all with anger on their faces.
"This Li Er refuses to eat, what should I do?"
"Brother Cui, Master Zhengde cannot die in vain!"
"Yes, Brother Cui, you have always been resourceful and resourceful. Our family is now in close conflict with each other. No matter what strategy Brother Cui has, we will definitely stick to it!"
A group of old people looked at each other and looked at the white-bearded old man sitting in the northwest corner.
This person is none other than the old man of the Cui family in Qinghe, Cui Baihe!
He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then smiled slightly.
"Of course my Zhengde family will not die in vain. However, Li Er's court will not have an easy time."
"Now that he, Li Er, most of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are from our family, how can he fight with me? Please relax, and just do what I say tomorrow."
"what to do?"
"What should I do, Brother Cui?"
"This Li Er knows how to lead troops and fight. He's really going too far to bully our family!"
"No matter what Brother Cui wants to do, we will do our best to accompany you!"
"Haha, you guys are serious. You can't commit such a crime. But tomorrow, you need to tell all the members of your family who are officials in the government to attack together!"
"Let's attack together?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't understand what Cui Baihe meant.
Cui Baihe smiled slightly.
"Everyone talks to me, and with such hard work, it is natural that Li Er's court can be damaged and his Manna Palace cannot be opened. But in this way, the power is still too scattered. Li Er's army is full of fierce people.
I will definitely not give in because of this.”
"To make Li Er surrender, we must unite together and attack at the same time."
"Tomorrow, I will let Li Er know what it feels like to be admonished by half of the officials!"
"Can he tolerate the advice of Wei Zheng, a monster, and can he withstand the advice of most of the court?"
Cui Baihe was full of smiles, and he had almost predicted Li Er's reaction in his heart.
It will definitely be exciting!
…
That night, Ganlu Hall.
Li Er flipped through the memorial and looked at several reports carefully.
This is about the recent whereabouts of potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Before, Li Er gave the baskets of potatoes that Li Sheng gave him directly to the refugees who had recently come to Chang'an.
Although he was obstructed during the resettlement process and was disgusted, it was still disgusting, so Li Er had no choice but to let Cheng Yaojin personally lead the troops to take care of it and start planting again.
However, I recently sent materials to Li Sheng, and Li Sheng was also very good at it, and got him a few carriages of potatoes and sweet potatoes!
Li Er was simply overjoyed. With more of these things, he no longer had to worry about others obstructing him!
