    ?

    Li Shimin took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "It has been nearly twenty years since the Great Tang was established. In twenty years, the Great Tang rose, flourished, met Du Qi, and had to move the capital from Chang'an.  When the capital was moved from Chang'an last time, countless officials withdrew and finally followed me to Jiangdu."

    "At that time, the Tang Dynasty could still occupy half of the country, and still have a foothold. But now, Du Qi has broken Jiangdu and defeated our troops. Now it is quite difficult to stop Du Qi."

    "The only advantage we have left is gone."

    "Waterways can't stop Du Qi."

    "So next, the only arrangement I can consider is to continue going south, evacuate to the southern part of Lingnan, and retreat to the Lingnan mountainous area. After pushing into the mountains, it is impossible for Du Qi's army to continue to hide and kill. After all,  In the Lingnan region, there is miasma on the one hand, and deep mountains and old forests on the other.¡±

    "This can stop Du Qi's army."

    Li Shimin talked eloquently, and continued: "But such a trip to the south is destined to be difficult. Even such a trip to the south is doomed to be a hard life. When we were in Jiangdu, because there were many businessmen supporting us, and Jiangnan was prosperous and prosperous,  So we don't lack money, we don't lack food, and life is relatively good."

    At this moment Li Shimin's voice was very low.

    More hoarse and tired.

    During this period of time, it can even be said that in recent years, Li Shimin's spirit has been tense, and his life is not easy.  Especially after the death of his eldest grandson Wugou, Li Shimin seemed to have lost support, and felt even more lost in his heart.

    All his exhaustion was revealed in his words.

    It is all clearly reflected.

    When these officials heard Li Shimin's words, they were somewhat puzzled.  Even when many soldiers heard it, they still didn't understand it in their hearts.  Because they don't know, what does Li Shimin mean by saying that?

    Do you want to remember something?

    Or do you want to cheer everyone up?

    Everyone is unclear.

    The people who knew Li Shimin's mind were Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and Wei Shuyu, and when Fang Xuanling went to inform, he didn't say much, so no one knew, and they all had puzzled expressions.

    Li Shimin paused for a while, then continued: "The days in the south of the Yangtze River are quite good. And in the next days, we will go south to Lingnan, which is a barren land, deep in the mountains and old forests."

    "There is no blue waves and green water in the south of the Yangtze River, no smoke in the south of the Yangtze River, no picturesque scenery and prosperity in the south of the Yangtze River. In Lingnan, we are destined to live a hard life. Maybe the next one will be precarious; maybe the next one will be  Fight with wild beasts; or next, face the days of siege everywhere."

    "A day like this, after all, cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Without a certain determination, without a certain fighting spirit, it is impossible to persevere. Even without enough perseverance, it is impossible to persevere."

    "Thus, those who are going to go south with me must be determined. I know that some people have left quietly along the way. I know the news, but I have never cared about it. Because twisted melons are not sweet  , It is impossible to keep these people, and it is impossible to keep people."

    "Instead of that, let them leave by default."

    In fact, Wei Shuyu didn't report this matter, and Li Shimin really didn't pay attention.

    But in front of all the soldiers, he changed his rhetoric.  He said that he had already discovered such a thing, but he never cared about it, but he never stopped it. This was done on purpose.

    Following Li Shimin's words, the people who were originally silent began to speak gradually.

    There was discussion.

    Many people are talking.

    Even some of the smart people among them have roughly guessed what Li Shimin was going to say.  After all, Li Shimin laid the groundwork so much and talked about the fact that many people left without authorization, which is obviously related to this matter.

    Li Shimin did not stop the discussions of soldiers, officials and their family members, and his face was still solemn.

    He seemed to be immersed in his own emotions, so he continued: "At this time, I don't want people to continue to leave secretly. Therefore, I summoned you all. Those of you who are willing to leave,  Then leave on your own, I will not stop you. Those of you who don¡¯t want to leave, then stay.¡±

    "In short, I will never stop you from leaving me, and I will not hold you accountable."

    Li Shimin said: "But during the march, if there are any people who want to leave without permission and affect the morale of the army, I will definitely not let them go."??Forgive lightly, kill without mercy.  So at the moment, whether it is an official or a soldier, anyone who wants to leave can leave.  "

    Wow!  !  !

    There was an uproar at the scene.

    All the officers and soldiers had expressions of surprise on their faces.  Because no one thought that Li Shimin would allow them to leave at this moment, and he would be so generous.

    Even the soldiers were astonished.

    You must know that the most important thing for Li Shimin now is soldiers. With the army, there will be combat effectiveness.  But right now, Li Shimin is letting people leave, which is tantamount to damaging his own strength.  Especially for Li Shimin, officials are the foundation of the future.  Once many officials leave, it will be difficult to arrange many things, and this matter is also quite difficult.

    However, Li Shimin asked people to leave.

    This is a big deal.

    Even more courageous.

    For a while, there were constant discussions.

    Even so, for the time being, no one stood up and left, because everyone was watching.  Li Shimin said so, but many people still have doubts in their hearts.  So there were discussions and hesitation, but no one left for the time being.

    "Your Majesty, I am ashamed of you, my Majesty! But the whole family, including fifteen people, need to be supported by me. Once I follow you, this family will become a burden, and I will be distracted. Your Majesty,  I am ashamed of your majesty, please forgive me."

    After a long while, someone stood up.

    The person who stood up was named Liu Qingsong, and he was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court. He was not considered a prominent official position. After all, although his rank was high, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was not an official with real power.  However, Liu Qingsong still stood up and spoke out for himself.

    At this moment, Liu Qingsong was prostrate and kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly, and said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty, I am ashamed of your majesty's entrustment, and I am ashamed of your majesty's esteem. I am sorry, my majesty!"

    As Liu Qingsong stood up, other people followed suit.

    "Your Majesty, I am guilty! I am sorry, Your Majesty."

    "However, there are thirty people in the minister's family, and now a large family follows him, which will also cause a burden to His Majesty! Therefore, I can no longer burden Your Majesty."

    "Your Majesty, I am also a big family, with more than a dozen members in my family. If I follow Your Majesty to the south, after entering Lingnan, there will be so many people every day, it will definitely consume countless grains. I also ask you to leave."

    "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I cannot go south."

    One by one, the officials kept talking.

    The number of people who knelt down suddenly increased. Looking around, there were at least a dozen important officials of the court.  These people usually receive the salaries given by the imperial court and have the support of the imperial court, but now, none of them are willing to stay, and they all choose to leave.

    Because Li Shimin did not give the order before, they did not leave. After all, the family has a big business and it is not easy to leave.  Now after receiving Li Shimin's order, no one is willing to stay anymore, and those who are hesitant leave one after another.

    Although Xue Wanche failed repeatedly, he was extremely firm in his loyalty to Li Shimin.  Especially when he thought of his elder brother dying in the hands of Du Qi, he became even more angry, shouting: "Bastards, a bunch of bastards. A group of people like you are really hateful! Your Majesty values ??you so much, even your family members  , there is meat to eat every day. But now, you are leaving. Are you worthy of His Majesty's respect?"

    His eyes were extremely fierce.

    Incomparable anger.

    It seems that he wants to choose people and eat them, and kill all these people who betrayed Datang.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
