Chapter 1183 Troubled Autumn
Li Chen is really upset with these vassal kings now.
The first thing they consider when doing things is always their own interests.
There is only one code of conduct for every move, that is, weaken the court and strengthen itself.
When the balance of each other's strength is completely broken, they will want to take over the court and replace it.
And before they seize the country, they will never consider the life and death of the people.
Although Guanzhi told Li Chen that this is a conflict that will naturally arise due to the different status of the two parties. If he was a vassal king, he might have done more than King Ning, but Li Chen just couldn't suppress this evil fire.
"Get paper and pen!"
Hearing Li Chen's words, Wan Jiaojiao hurried over to serve.
After Wan Jiaojiao had ground ink, Li Chen picked up the brush and wrote like a dragon and phoenix danced.
"The emperor's uncle Ning, the emperor's achievements are over the court, the father's brothers and feet, the country's arms, and the court's humerus."
"The northwest is bitter and cold, and the father and emperor assigned important tasks to the emperor's uncle. He has suppressed Gansu and Shaanxi for more than ten years, which shows that the emperor's uncle is heroic."
"However, now the crescent gate is in a hurry. Even if the emperor has difficulties, he should not neglect the country but value self-interest."
"The emperor's uncle respects him, enjoys all his glory, and is loved by the people. The court has been treating King Ning for thousands of days. Now, if King Ning is used for one day, how can King Ning refuse?"
If this letter is written here and is kindly admonished, then the next few words will bring Li Chen's killing aura to the paper.
"Our dynasty was established by Taizu, the emperor guarded the country, the king died, the vassal kings were scattered on the border, jointly protecting the Li royal family and nourishing our great China."
"King Ning Shangwu has hundreds of thousands of troops. If it is not used by the court, why should it be used? Is it for the private use of King Ning?"
"The world is full of people and civil and military officials have different thoughts. In order to avoid having the reputation of the King Ning, the emperor's uncle is also asked to think twice before he can do it."
"Since our country established, there will be no vassal kings who sit idly by the court to be invaded by the foreigners and ignore it. If there is any, the Daliang Dragon Bird in my hands will kill internal troubles first, and then extinguish external worries!"
After finishing the last word, Li Chen handed the letter to Su Zhenting and said, "Send it to King Ning as quickly as possible."
Su Zhenting bowed and expressed his understanding.
Hu Shifan said, "Your Highness, although it is necessary to scold the letter, it is not too binding for King Ning."
Li Chen looked at Hu Shifan and said, "General Hu has been leading the army alone all year round. Although he is essentially different from the vassal kings, many ideas should be analogous. Why not tell me what good ways are there?"
Hu Shifan bowed and said, "Your Highness, you are a polite person. The old minister is just a little experience and cannot be generalized. Therefore, you can only use a brief reference."
After pondering for a moment, Hu Shifan said: "According to the laws and regulations of this dynasty, the vassal kings can enjoy the right to build an army and tax revenue. Although there are regulations on the number of troops, after more than three hundred years, these regulations have long become empty texts. But even if it is an empty text, it is a law set by Taizu, and Your Highness can use it to make a fuss."
"For example, start the tax right to target the Ningwang territory?"
"Whether King Ning or the court, power is generally based on military and wealth. If there is no money, how can we maintain the expenses of a huge military source? Such a move will make King Ning difficult."
