Chapter 1578 The Role of System Soldiers

Li Chengyi was listening in a daze. If he was asked to give advice, it would be better to continue waving the sword in his hand. If someone opposes you, you kill them. When the tip of your sword points to the people around you, everyone kneels down honestly, then basically we have achieved our wish. There is no need to play tricks with them. How many brain cells will this kill? It is far better to take action.

Li Xiang has said this method many times. This is simply a temporary solution. When someone kneels down for you on the spot, turn your head away, do you know what they are thinking? It is very likely that they are still thinking about how to pull you down from the altar, so this problem must be solved fundamentally.

Moreover, your military strength cannot always be so strong. When you are a little nap, others may develop. Fighting violence with violence is only useful sometimes. Most of the time, you have to think about how to cut off the firewood from the bottom of the pot. Li Chengyi lacks this, so he can only be a general and cannot stand alone.

Of course, among the royal family members, if you can stand on your own, maybe it's time for you to retire. The court does need some royal generals to cover up the facade and let everyone see clearly that our Li royal family is not just enjoying the benefits behind the scenes. The good men in our royal family also make contributions to the empire on the battlefield.

But it is limited to you being a general. If you are in charge of the army on horseback and the people on foot, and can handle all kinds of things, then this matter is not easy to say. Even if Li Xiang protects you, Li Shimin will definitely transfer Li Chengyi back and arrange a sinecure in Chang'an City. You will stay there honestly for the rest of your life.

Li Shimin will never forget his family's origin. His father Li Yuan was also one of the royal relatives. At that time, he also guarded Jinyang for Emperor Yang of Sui and had a certain amount of military force, so they had the capital to start a business. Now Li Shimin will never let other royal relatives have this opportunity. As long as you are aware of such a sign, even if you have no intention of rebellion, you must be plucked clean.

Li Chengyi understood this point, so he never developed in this direction. Now when Li Xiang and several others were discussing, this guy just arched his hands and went out with his people to inspect. You do the brainwork, I like to do it.

Looking at Li Chengyi's back as he left, Li Xiang also knew what the other party was thinking. He knew that he had flaws, but there was no place to change. This kid also got the guidance of an expert, otherwise it would be easy to arouse suspicion in the court. At that time, he would not even have the opportunity to lead troops. He would be directly placed in an idle government office in Chang'an City and wait to spend his life.

Look at Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, who can't be independent? Are they really old now? But they get sick all the time. Whether they are really sick or fake, I'm afraid only they know. Anyway, Li Shimin should be the happiest every time they get sick.

How much ability do these old brothers who followed him to conquer the world have? Li Shimin knows it very well. Although his power has been almost eliminated in recent years, Li Shimin still can't sleep. Who of these people didn't start from scratch? Relying on a few people can conquer a world, so you have to be careful.

These people also understand Li Shimin's thoughts, so they often do some amazing things in Chang'an City. Anyway, they are unreasonable. Even those who are reasonable will not go out of the door, especially some old brothers on the battlefield before. Even if you starve to death in the street, I will never help you in an emergency, for fear that the emperor will say that we buy people's hearts.

Although doing so would make his former brothers feel cold and they would scold him for being unkind, it could save the lives of the whole family. For example, most of Cheng Yaojin's personal soldiers were transferred to Li Xiang, which was considered to be relatively lucky. They gradually became Li Xiang's confidants and could continue to mix in the army.

But the subordinates of other generals were not so lucky. As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers. When your general was still in power, you did have a job in the army, but when your general was idle in Chang'an City, do you think this job was still in your hands?

Li Xiang also knew that it was not very good to do so, but then again, this was also a way to stabilize the court. This was done in all dynasties. If you let these people retain military power, then not only Li Shimin would not be able to sleep, but even Li Xiang, the time traveler, would be a little scared in his heart. Who knows if these people would wear yellow robes after drinking wine. When a rebellion came, not to mention the unstable foundation of the Tang Dynasty, there would be many civilians who died.

So Li Shimin would point out these old generals from time to time, and Li Xiang would never stop him. As for the people developed under Li Xiang, he had nothing to worry about. There were a large number of system soldiers around each of them. If you had any conspiracy or tricks, you would definitely not be able to hide it from these system soldiers.

Although they usually obey you, and you never refuse to bribe them, in their hearts, they are always the closest to Li Xiang. Fortunately, these generals only made some minor mistakes and did not intend to rebel. If they really had such thoughts, they would probably lose their lives in their sleep.

Li Xiang would never make their rebellion public. After all, this would cause ideological turmoil in society. He simply gave them a news that they left due to illness, which was considered to be acceptable. After all, whether you guys are sick or not, people in society don’t know. If I make you sick, you will get sick. When you betrayed the Tang Dynasty, this disease will come.

Thinking about these things, Li Xiang also sighed. After all, he thought he was an upright person, but if he wanted to become a qualified emperor, these things must be done this way. Although they are discussing vigorously now, when he really ascends the throne, he will probably have to take away the power in the hands of these people, and then train a group of new people. This is called getting rid of the old and bringing in the new... (End of this chapter)
