Chapter 462 Returning as a Teenager (1)

Seeing Sun Ke pretending to be stupid, Li Min couldn't say anything else, so he leaned against the dragon chaise and squinted. After Sun Ke understood, he retreated respectfully.

Walking out of Zichen Hall, Sun Ke straightened his back and looked at the flagpole blown by the autumn wind for about a moment. Even when Li Jie passed by him, he had never reacted.

"Sun Dajian! Sun Dajian!"

"Ah! Governor! He's rude!"

Li Jie chuckled, "Sun Dajian, look at your pale face. Could it be that you have been overworking in recent days?"

"Thank you for your concern to the Governor! It's true that there are too many chores recently, so I won't let go of it!"

Li Jie said caringly, "Your Majesty still needs Sun Dajian's care. Sun Dajian should take care of himself."

Sun Ke replied politely, "Thanks to the Governor's heart, the miscellaneous families remember it!"

At this time, a little eunuch in Zichen Hall walked out. After seeing Li Jie, he walked forward and saluted, "Grandmaster! Your Majesty has something to tell you to go!"

Li Jie entered the hall and saw Li Min sitting cross-legged in front of the chessboard.

Li Min waved his hand and smiled, "Li Aiqing, come! Play chess with me!"

When Li Jie took his seat, he saw what kind of chess piece was on the chessboard. It was clearly a deck of troops from Hexi. In the position of the tide map, he was injured and placed with chess pieces symbolizing the prefectures of Hexi. There were also a few chess pieces played with in Li Min's hands, and obviously he didn't make up his mind where to place them.

"Li Aiqing! Come and see! If I insist on going to war with Murong Daxia, what will the winning rate be?"

Li Jie knew the best about the strength of the two sides of Hexi. Therefore, when Li Min asked himself, Li Jie had a clear reply.

"If you only use the power of Hexi, the winning rate is 40%! If you use the power of Xichuan, the winning rate is 70%!"

After listening to Li's explanation, Li Min placed a red star in Xichuan. Then he said, "There is no threat in Yunnan at the moment, so it's time to let Teng Yunlong move!"

Li Jie asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, Yunnan really doesn't need to stare at it anymore?"

"Their internal government affairs are solved by themselves. My only bottom line is not to betray me, Han and Tang dynasties!" Li Min put a red cannon on his position in Yunnan.

"Your Majesty, Yunnan is different from the Central Plains, so it is hard to guarantee that they will not have any disagreements! What should I do if Yunnan has another trouble when it is fighting with Daxia?"

"I don't think that girl will disappoint me! Besides, I treat them with the attitude of being prosperous and losing. If it is true as Li Aiqing said, I won't mind changing my clothes and changing my banners at that time!"

Li Min took out two red soldiers and placed them in the southeastern part of Yunnan. At this moment, Li Jie felt that the Emperor of Han and Tang dynasties in front of him would really do what he said.

Li Jie said slowly, "Since Murong Yuan succeeded to the throne, Daxia has been stable in the military and political affairs at home and abroad, and has won a series of great victory with Tubo Altai. The morale in Daxia is high, and the warlike conquests continue to expand. Even if we, Han and Tang Dynasties do not compete with him. When Daxia is strong, sooner or later, we will send troops eastward to invade our border.

Since Your Majesty has made a decision, I will follow the order.”

Hearing what Li Jie was thinking, Li Min smiled slightly, but the smile was fleeting, making people unable to guess what Li Min meant.

"Li Aiqing! In the past, you and the old Qinhou came from the same school, and then galloped on the battlefield together to make great achievements. After that war, the old Qinhou sued himself for apologizing! I know the reason!"

Li Jie suddenly stared at Li Min with a expressionless face and replied calmly, "Since Your Majesty knows, why do you still let the empress be ranked among the three ministers and nine ministers? Are you not afraid that others will have a grudge and misunderstand Your Majesty's ability to employ people?"

"Misunderstanding? It's no wonder that I have the people to care about the country and the country of the Han and Tang dynasties and the people! Did you become officials and generals not for the sake of local governments and state stability and the people's living and working in peace? In the past, I always thought that if you become the emperor of the Han and Tang dynasties, you could do your best to make the world's decisions.

But now? I know some things! But as long as I don’t hurt the foundation of the Han and Tang dynasties and the face of the court, I will turn a blind eye. The old troubles of the previous dynasty have been heavy for a long time. I seem to be defeating the enemy with martial arts, but in fact I am fighting against the enemy, so that those foxes who are good at disguising themselves will come out and bask in the sun!

Master Du Ge is just the beginning, and the good show is still behind! Taizong fought for the world with martial arts, and gained the reputation of my Han and Tang Dynasties! Although I am not half as good as Taizong, I can't insult the reputation of my ancestors. Some people seem to not take me to heart, but I don't care. Because the places you govern are all pure and good people with food and clothing!"

Speaking of this, Li Jie understood why Li Min never touched Qin Feng. Qin Feng seemed to be independent and listened not to the public. At least he did not do anything, but worked hard to make Qinzhou rich and strong under his rule.

When Li Min placed the commander chess in Qinzhou, Li Jie asked, "If Your Majesty regards Qinzhou as your respect, will other prefectures obey Qinzhou's orders?"

"Don't look at these guys who are intriguing and having disputes on weekdays, they still understand the truth in the overall situation! This time the war with Daxia has begun, I have passed letters with the other governors of the prefecture. The price they asked was that the military and political affairs of the Hexi governors will still be retained for one generation, and the new local policies can be selected for 60%!"

Li Min's move was tantamount to suspending the revocation of the governor's military power and transfer of military power, which was a deviation from Li Min's original government orders against Hexi. Li Jie understood that this move was to ease the conflict between Hexi and the court. In other words, this battle was the opportunity given to Hexi by Li Min. As long as they conquer Murong Daxia, the subsequent rewards may not be inferior to those of the title of marquis and prime ministers or even higher.

The reason why Li Xuansheng chose to leave Shuofang at this time was that he had already known the intention of the Emperor of Han and Tang dynasties. Li Min exchanged a big cake for the ambitious governor of Hexizhong. As long as you have the ability, you can share it. If the final result is not bad as Li Xuansheng expected, then what he got will always be returned in another way.

As Li Xuansheng and Liu Huaiyong said at that time, "What these veterans want is nothing more than power to control one side. But they never thought that while breaking their minions, His Majesty also gave rewards that were incomparable in the past. Should he become a meritorious service that the people respected in protecting the country? Or a domineering general? It depends on their own fortune!"

Liu Huaiyong explained, "If Your Majesty wants to open up the prosperous era of the Han and Tang dynasties, you must cure the old diseases in your home one by one. And local military and political affairs are the top priority! After this battle, the forces in Hexi were re-divided, and you can't escape the decision at that time!"

"That's right! Compared with these old foxes, my little tricks cannot compete with them. When the matter in the Western Regions is over, let's do it slowly!"

Liu Huaiyong praised, "Not bad! If you are not in your position and do not plan your politics, you will have a lot of progress in this overall situation than before!"

Li Xuansheng said modestly, "It's all about the teacher who teaches well on weekdays. Students just learn some basic knowledge, and they still need some advice from the teacher in the future."

Liu Huaiyong replied with a smile, "You boy, you have learned to be slick! I still like your straightforward appearance before!"

"That's young and ignorant. If you do that now, it will be difficult to convince the public!"

"Xuansheng! It is precisely because of your fearlessness that children's words are the truth. In the future, I will still be the same as before!"

"Yes, teacher!"
