(Happy birthday to Leader GhostRider!)
Inside the Hall of Nectar.
Li Er looked at the lazy and shameless kid in front of him. His expression was a bit absent-minded. He thought to himself, This kid is living more happily every day than I, the Emperor! Daring, careful, optimistic, and knowing when to advance and retreat. He is a good seedling!
"Scram! I still don't know what kind of character you have! "
Li Er scolded with a smile and sat back on the throne. He leaned against the back of the chair and stared at Li Zexuan. He asked, "Then, who do you think can take on the responsibility of supervising Datang Daily?"
This question was not easy to answer. Earlier, Li Zexuan had said that the supervision department sent by the court was to form a mutually restrictive relationship with Datang Daily's management staff. If he told Li Er who should come over at this time, wouldn't he be suspected of embezzlement?
"I think that Your Majesty should send someone with good character, fair and upright, and who can accept new things and new ideas like newspapers to supervise. The purpose of supervision is definitely not to make trouble for people out of thin air, and it is definitely not to hinder the development of Datang Daily. So, the person in charge of supervision must first agree with the newspaper as a new form of carrying culture. Otherwise, Datang Daily will definitely die in endless internal strife! "
"As for who is more suitable to be in charge of this matter, Your Majesty must already have a candidate in mind. I do not dare to speak rashly!"
Li Zexuan pushed the question back. He was not stupid enough to jump into the hole that Li Er had dug for him!
"You stinking brat, you are getting more and more slippery!"
Li Er couldn't help but laugh and scold him.
Then, he thought seriously and said, "You were right. The purpose of supervision is not to hinder the development of Datang Daily. I never planned on letting Datang Daily perish. How about this, let Chengqian take on the responsibility of supervision. What do you think?"
What could it be? It was too damn good!
Hearing this, Li Zexuan was delighted. To be able to get this result was already beyond his expectations. With his relationship with Li Chengqian, letting him be the "army supervisor" of Datang Daily, tsk tsk, wouldn't that be …
"Cough, this is a matter of great importance. Your Majesty can make the final decision. I have no objections!"
Li Zexuan said shamelessly. Even though he was a prostitute, he still wanted to pretend to be innocent.
The corner of Li Er's mouth twitched. Damn it, you've already made so many requests just now, and now you still have the face to say that it's all up to me, with no objections. Can you be a little more shameless?
"Then it's settled!"
Li Er made the final decision and slapped the table.
He had made this decision after careful consideration. On the one hand, Li Zexuan had taken the initiative to ask the imperial court to send someone to monitor Datang Daily. This greatly exceeded Li Er's expectations. Although he had no intention of interfering with the internal affairs of Datang Daily, since Li Zexuan had brought it up, Li Er would definitely not reject this opportunity. The newspaper's powerful ability to control public opinion moved him very much. With the newspaper, Li Er felt that he would have a greater chance of success in weakening the aristocratic families. As the saying goes, return a favor for a peach. Since Li Zexuan was so tactful, Li Er naturally had to make things easier for him.
On the other hand, what Li Zexuan had said just now was very reasonable. If he sent a conservative and corrupt scholar to monitor Datang Daily, then Datang Daily would probably be finished in no time. Li Er definitely did not want to see this result. Li Chengqian and Li Zexuan had a good personal relationship, and they were relatively open-minded. They would not affect the daily operations of Datang Daily. Moreover, Li Chengqian was the Empire's crown prince, so Li Er did not have to worry about his position. This could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Zexuan flattered with satisfaction. Datang Daily was founded by him. In the end, he could not bear to see Datang Daily being destroyed because of Li Er's incompetence. Li Chengqian's participation would minimize the impact on Datang Daily.
"You brat!"
Li Er pointed at Li Zexuan and scolded meaningfully with a smile, "You brat, have you become timid again? Where did your courage go? "
Li Zexuan secretly curled his lips and thought, I can't beat you now, so of course I have to admit defeat! Only those who have strength can act pretentiously. If I still act pretentiously without strength, then I'll be a fool. Wait until I'm fully developed in the future, then I'll come back and act pretentiously in front of you!
"Pa!"
Li Er slapped the dragon table and said in a bad mood, "Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking! I'm not Han Gaozu. I'm not afraid of my officials' achievements overshadowing my lord. In terms of contributions, who in the Tang Empire has more contributions than me? "
Li Er was a little talkative today. Perhaps he really treated Li Zexuan as a junior! His expression was a little complicated as he reminisced.
"When I was nineteen, I followed my father to rebel against the Sui Dynasty from Jinyang. I commanded the three right armies and directly attacked Chang 'an. After that, I led an army of one hundred thousand to attack the eastern capital Luoyang and defeated the Sui general Duan Da. The next year, I defeated Xue Ju, defeated Song Jingang, Liu Wuzhou, destroyed Wang Shichong of Henan and Dou Jiande of Hebei. I heavily injured Liu Heita and Xu Yuanlang of Shandong. Within a year, I destroyed the rest of the powers in the Tang Empire.
"In terms of military contributions, who can compare to me? After I ascended the throne, the Medicine Master and the others have been living in seclusion and have even withdrawn from the court. I know that they are worried that I'll be like Han Gaozu and turn against them once the world is settled. They are worried that they will be like Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Ying Bu, and end up being killed because of their contributions! "
"Haha! Laughable! Extremely laughable! You all look down on me too much! The entire world is mine. Why would I care about your little contributions? Right now, I have only conquered the land of Tang, but my goal is to conquer all the countries of Zhou and Zhou. For Chengqian, for my descendants, I will establish a foundation for eternity! At a time like this, how could I be as short-sighted as the boorish Liu Bang and get rid of the donkey after it has outlived its usefulness? "
"All of you will follow me to establish a foundation for eternity. I will ensure that your descendants will have eternal peace! As long as I live, I will not kill any of you who have contributed greatly! "
Li Er's words were as heavy as a thousand pounds. This was a promise, a powerful oath. From these words, Li Zexuan could hear the glint of a blade and the shadow of a sword. He could hear the decisiveness to kill. He could hear the wild and unrestrained years of Li Er's early years. He could hear Li Er's great breadth of mind and boldness!
At this moment, he could not help but admit that Li Er was truly a wise and magnanimous emperor! Looking at the long river of China's history, Li Er was one of the few emperors who treated his subjects well. No wonder so many valiant generals and ministers were willing to die for Li Er. Old Li's charisma was truly great!
At this moment, Li Zexuan really wanted to say, "Boss, you are so generous!"
"Your Majesty is wise. I am sincerely convinced!"
Li Zexuan sincerely praised.
Being born in such an era was perhaps a great misfortune for those restless youths who were unwilling to be left out. This was because if they wanted to "jump", they had to rebel. If they wanted to rebel, they had to surpass Li Er, this mountain that was too high to climb. Oh, no, it should be "Mount Everest".
But being born in such an era, for a youth like Li Zexuan who loved stability, it was a great fortune. The emperor was wise, the ministers were virtuous, and the country was strong. There was no need to worry about the survival of the country or the invasion of other races. There was also no need to worry about angering the emperor over a small matter. He only needed to leisurely do what he wanted to do and at the same time push the wheels of the era forward!
