I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Chapter 975 Zhang Nuo is going to retire

After trying to understand Li Shimin in the future, Zhang Nuo was stunned by the power of that explosion, Nima, why are you so shameless.

Li Shimin was really going all out, he almost cried while hugging Zhang Nuo's thigh, and then rubbed his nose and tears on him.

But just a big man is crying in front of you. The key is that you still know this man. He is your good friend and brother. Who can bear this shit?

It's not about feeling sorry, it's just disgusting.

After all, Zhang Nuo is not a manly man.What's more, Lao Li has a beard and a small belly, and he is crying in front of you with a big heart and a fat body. This damn is really a bit hot-eyed.

In the end, Zhang Nuo was so disgusted by Li Shimin that he couldn't help it, and finally surrendered.

"Okay, okay, don't continue, I really can't stand your way, I'll accept this shit, you can accept it!"

As soon as Zhang Nuo said this, Li Shimin instantly changed from a crying face full of bitterness and deep sorrow to a smile. If it weren't for the tears and snot still on his face, Zhang Nuo would have suspected that he was disgusted at that moment. The half-dead man is not the one in front of him.

But when he turned his head, he began to sigh, it seems that this Nima is not only thick-skinned to be an emperor, but also a real actor.

Not to mention other things, just talking about the face change in this second and the crying with tears and snot just now, not to mention how many people are better, but it is enough to be called an old drama.

It's a pity that Zhang Nuo is probably the only one who can see Li Shimin's acting skills on weekdays. To deal with ordinary people, actor Lao Li only needs shamelessness and ordinary acting skills. Only Zhang Nuo can appreciate Lao Li This extreme performance.

But Lao Li's performance is not in vain, at least for now, his goal has been achieved.

One must know that Zhang Nuo really didn't want to go wandering on the sea. This journey is obviously not too comfortable. The time on the road will take more than half a year, and floating on the sea, no matter how luxurious the cabin is, I'm afraid that day will not be possible. So comfortable.

Zhang Nuo knew what Li Shimin meant, and by going out this time, he was not only helping Datang to avenge, earn money, and open up land, but at the same time he was helping Datang to train a new generation of generals.

Another unspoken meaning is that he may still be a supply base.

There must be a supply fleet going out this time. When the naval bases are not spread all over the world, carrying the supply fleet is the only thing that can be done.

However, the most precious supplies and the worst supplies can be preserved by Zhang Nuo. If Zhang Nuo is there, it will definitely make the long-distance voyage of the entire fleet safer and more secure.

Looking at Li Shimin who had returned to normal, Zhang Nuo felt inexplicably tired. After wandering around in his mind for a while, an idea became stronger and stronger.

Zhang Nuo is actually very indulgent towards himself. He will realize whatever ideas he has, as long as he has the ability. After all, he now has the capital to be self-willed in this era.

Zhang Nuo took a deep look at Li Shimin, closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair and said softly,

"Lao Li, I agree to this matter, but you have to promise me one condition!"

Li Shimin was taken aback suddenly, is this to negotiate terms?He didn't feel that Zhang Nuo was not qualified to negotiate terms with him, or that he didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Nuo wanting to negotiate terms. What he cared about was why he had to raise it at this time, but he still had to listen. of.

Zhang Nuo didn't even open his eyes. He knew that Li Shimin would agree, so after a short pause, he said directly,

"For this battle, I can promise to lead the troops, and I will even try my best to complete the task of training the next generation of generals. At the same time, I will also deploy airship troops to coordinate operations and improve the map as much as possible. !"

"This is the first time Datang has gone out in the true sense, and this time, Datang has really shown his fangs!"

"However, this will be my last expedition as the King of Qin and Marshal of the Three Armies. My conditions are very simple. I will retire when I come back after this matter is over. Whether it is the title of Marshal of the Three Armies or the title of King Qin, I don't want any of it. Already!"

"impossible!"

As soon as Zhang Nuo's words fell, Li Shimin stood up excitedly, and even interrupted Zhang Nuo's words directly, so that his eyes were already flushed.

This is not some acting skills, this is Li Shimin really excited!

Li Shimin seemed to have a thousand words to say at this moment, but Zhang Nuo, who looked unmoved and still closed his eyes, didn't know how to speak.

In fact, he knew in his heart that Zhang Nuo had long wanted to leave this vortex and live his own life, and it was a great honor for him to be able to bear it until this time before speaking.

But man, how could he easily allow the good things around him to leave, not to mention that Zhang Nuo is far beyond the level of "good things".

In Li Shimin's eyes, Zhang Nuo is the person he trusts the most and also has the greatest ability. No matter what he does, either Zhang Nuo will help out with ideas when he is by his side, or he is not by his side, but he has the ability to cover everything. Either option gave Li Shimin great courage, allowing him to face everything calmly.

But now, this kind of confidence and support is about to retire.

He is naturally opposed, but is his opposition really useful?

For ordinary people, Li Shimin can use all kinds of methods to use emotion to reason or coerce and lure, but for Zhang Nuo, these methods are actually useless.

Not to mention the relationship, although the relationship between the two brothers is really good, but just as Zhang Nuo respects him and will not object to what he believes, he is actually too embarrassed to oppose Zhang Nuo.

Threats and lures are even more nonsense. If they are coercive, they will cut off the relationship between the two. It is better to agree, but temptations are even more nonsense, because Zhang Nuo himself made the request to give up these things. What else can you use to lure them?

Li Shimin looked at Zhang Nuo who had been sitting there steadily, but kept his eyes closed and did not speak. Li Shimin knew that maybe Zhang Nuo was really tired and wanted to rest.

He knew that his brother only wanted to live his own life from the beginning, and he was the one who dragged him into the court of Tang Dynasty, and his brother really deserved his courtesy.

But no matter how polite he was, he couldn't change Zhang Nuo's lazy nature. Zhang Nuo also explained again and again that he actually wanted to live a comfortable life.

Before Zhang Nuo didn't say too much, Li Shimin might be able to deny it.But now, Zhang Nuo had a showdown, and this was the last move!

Chapter 976 Zhang Nuo Made Up His Mind

Li Shimin couldn't speak for a long time, Zhang Nuo didn't speak anymore, and the atmosphere in the whole palace seemed to fall into an unspeakable silence.

Both of them leaned on their seats, pondering and thinking about their own affairs slowly, neither of them took the initiative to speak.

In fact, Zhang Nuo proposed to retire at this time, and it was a matter of course.

He was actually really tired.

A small owner of a restaurant, a cook, and a commoner in a small county, now in the world of Datang, not only became the king of Qin and the marshal of the three armies, but also relied on the power of cheating, single-handedly Promoted the rapid development of Datang.

Even while accumulating countless fortunes for himself, he also became the most prestigious and invincible commander in the army, and single-handedly established the navy and air force.

It can be said that this parallel time and space Datang has already been deeply imprinted on him.

If it is said that at the very beginning, Zhang Nuo was a little reckless and high-spirited, relying on the cheats in his hand and the various novels and jokes he read in later generations.

Then the further back he went, the more cautious Zhang Nuo became.

He is really like the emperor and has almost been able to "decide life and death with one word", and even his word or judgment will directly affect the development of this empire or the outcome of a certain battle.

That sense of urgency forced him to keep learning and trying to integrate various forces of Datang to further promote the development of Datang.

A man who can make such a big career is naturally something to be proud of, and Zhang Nuo also has a great sense of accomplishment about it.

However, only Zhang Nuo knew the exhaustion and sadness behind it.

God knows how hesitant and walking on thin ice a small person is when he shoulders an empire, especially for a person with a particularly salty temperament, he really spends every day in torment.

In the past, Zhang Nuo also thought about letting go, letting Datang develop on his own, and at the same time giving himself a way to survive, but in the end he couldn't rest assured, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on for a while.

But just now when Li Shimin sneered at his face and tried to drag Zhang Nuo to work, Zhang Nuo completely figured out that Datang still had to walk the road of Datang himself.

He himself is a person who relies on cheating and the accumulation of experience and knowledge of later generations, so that he can see things that others cannot see before others.

However, no matter how much other people admire and compliment him, Zhang Nuo knows in his heart that he is actually playing tricks, his knowledge is not systematic, and his knowledge is not enough.

In the final analysis, a small restaurant owner can make such a big business in Datang without bringing Datang into the ditch, he is already very lucky!

He had been escorting Li Shimin and Datang before. Judging from the effect, it was certainly good. Datang was flourishing, and both national strength and military strength had made great progress.

However, looking at it the other way around, Zhang Nuo couldn't help but reflect on a question, especially from today's situation. Is Datang's dependence on him too serious?

Or is Zhang Nuo's trust in the civil servants and generals of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor Li Shimin too little?

Could it be that Datang would not continue to develop without him?

Zhang Nuo's idea was suppressed by himself as soon as it came up. It is impossible. At this moment, Datang has entered a high-speed road of rapid development of science and technology, commerce, and military. Everyone has enjoyed dividends in this process. .

Then, anyone standing in front of this wave will be swept away by the wave carrying the interests of the vast majority of people.

So, why does he have to work so hard to do things he doesn't want to do?

Why can't these emperors, civil servants, and military generals who can shine in history and have a long history be given a chance to prove themselves?

Datang is now like a young tiger that has just entered the developmental period. Even though it is not yet an adult, its claws and teeth have already grown.Then, it shouldn't have been developing smoothly under his blessing.

Zhang Nuo even felt that Datang's ups and downs were a good thing for Datang, and it was undoubtedly very unwise to put all his hopes and final reliance on him alone. I can't take on such a heavy responsibility.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo, who wanted to understand the future, put forward his own conditions directly and resolutely. He wanted to retire, and he wanted to let Datang go forward on his own.

But when he actually made this decision, Zhang Nuo suddenly felt that his previous worries were a bit too much. It seemed that he was not as difficult to let go as he thought before, but he felt relaxed from the inside out.

It must be false to say that the former Zhang Nuo had no attachment to the title of King Qin and the rank of Marshal of the Three Armies. If nothing else, he would salute him first when he was outside the title of King Qin. Zhang Nuo felt that he had to keep the scepter.

But when he thought about the time he had been traveling from north to south in the past few years, and then thinking about the resentful expression that Hongyu occasionally showed, and the exhaustion that he lay on the sofa and didn't want to move, Zhang Nuo instantly felt that King Qin No matter the title or the rank of Marshal of the Three Armed Forces, it doesn't matter in the face of the life of salted fish.

To put it bluntly, with Zhang Nuo's current status, he doesn't need the title of King Qin and the rank of Marshal of the Three Armies at all. Walking outside still won't lower his prestige. He has already passed the period when he needs titles and military ranks to save face.

The current him, even if he gave up all the superficial things, just relying on his name Zhang Nuo, no one in Datang would dare to offend him stupidly, let alone conflict with him.

Moreover, Zhang Nuo still had a vague worry in his heart, no matter how much Li Shimin trusted him, no matter how good their relationship was, Li Shimin was an emperor after all.

As long as you are an emperor, you will be hostile and wary of anyone who can affect your power!

If Zhang Nuo really helps Datang plant flags all over the earth, and then push Datang into the electrical revolution or even the information revolution, then the brotherhood between him and Li Shimin will really be able to resist the instinctive vigilance of the emperor Well?

Zhang Nuo and Li Shimin have known each other for many years. He really doesn't want to see the day when he and Li Shimin meet in battle. He hopes that the two of them will be a good story of mutual achievement in history and have a perfect ending.

So, instead of testing human nature in the end, it is better to retreat bravely at this time, which not only fulfills the brotherhood between him and Lao Li, but also gives himself enough time to live his salty fish life, and allows Datang to continue to try. Mistakes, continuous growth, why not kill three birds with one stone?

Chapter 977

In fact, Li Shimin can more or less guess Zhang Nuo's thoughts, not to mention other things, just talk about the number of people who have been privately and righteously persuading him to limit Zhang Nuo's development in recent years, I don't know how many.

But Li Shimin has always turned a deaf ear to this kind of remarks, and will lose his temper if he talks too much.

But actually he really doesn't mind at all?Is he really not worried at all?

No, as an emperor, or an emperor who snatched the throne himself, he is more sensitive to the throne than anyone else.

But Zhang Nuo's performance, the relationship between the two of them, and Li Shimin's boldness that has not yet grown into an emperor through the ages, but has already begun to take shape, made Li Shimin ignore all the risks involved.

But he clearly knew that this kind of trust and this kind of dependence actually had a limit, and it might even be broken one day when Li Shimin lost his mind at a certain moment.

Therefore, instead of waiting for Zhang Nuo to become famous and only need to wear a yellow robe, and to compete with Zhang Nuo with the notorious reputation of killing donkeys and killing Zhongliang, in fact, it is the best time for Zhang Nuo to propose retirement at this time. .

The current development of Datang is no longer promoted by one or two people. To put it bluntly, let alone Zhang Nuo's withdrawal, even if Li Shimin immediately handed over the throne to Li Chengqian, Datang is still developing well. .

Zhang Nuo's retirement at this time, although it will cause a lot of sensation, but with Li Shimin around, Zhang Nuo has not disappeared, but regardless of those things, then as long as a period of time, this matter will definitely pass, how should life be? how to live.

After trying to understand these things, Li Shimin was surprised to find that it was actually the best choice for Zhang Nuo to take the initiative to raise this matter at this time.

Li Shimin looked up at the opposite side as if he was asleep, leaned lazily on Zhang Nuo who was sitting there, and sighed softly,

"Brother, do you really want to retire?"

Zhang Nuo still didn't open his eyes, just closed them like that, reminiscing about his experience on the road since he came to Datang, and after hearing Li Shimin's question, he answered directly,

"Old Li, I really want to retire. You understand better than others. With my temperament, I am suitable for doing small business and living a small life. People like you are suitable for such things as turbulent waves and pioneering things." !"

Li Shimin shook his head with a wry smile,

"You, this mouth is really unforgiving. If you can't even do something that will open up the world, then what am I? But, have you really made up your mind about this matter?"

Zhang Nuo suddenly smiled at this time, opened his eyes and looked at Li Shimin and said,

"I suddenly thought of a problem. If I lose all my identity, it will still be a bit inconvenient in the future. At least I will come to the palace for a walk, to have a meal, and so on. There will be a lot of rules!"

Li Shimin became energetic the moment he heard this, but he didn't expect Zhang Nuo to change hands and pick up the hair.

"How about this, the one who should retire is still retired, you give me the title of idle king, not a sage, but a leisurely leisure, this request is not difficult, anyway, it is just a title in name only, after all these years, I It should be no problem to change the title of an idle prince for the credit you have made, based on our friendship!"

Li Shimin opened his mouth in surprise, you are so impolite, just after talking about retirement, he turned around and said he wanted a one-word king title, although he is a joking idle king, but this is also One word king.

You know, apart from the prince and Zhang Nuo, the king of Qin, there is no longer any king in the Tang Dynasty, and even the previous vassal kings have been cleaned up. How honorable it is.

But Li Shimin also knew that although Zhang Nuo's tone was joking with him, this condition was really not a joke, and Li Shimin knew very well that the reason Zhang Nuo just mentioned was probably Zhang Nuo's truest thought.

He wanted this title because he really wanted to enjoy all the conveniences brought by being a king. As for the privileges, hehe, Zhang Nuo can make a fool of himself!

Throughout the Tang Dynasty, wherever Zhang Nuo knew Zhang Nuo, there was no one who did not give Zhang Nuo face, but to give face to face, there must be some rules. Kind of thing.

If you don't have that status and qualifications, it's definitely no problem to come and go to the palace. After all, the owner here, Li Shimin, and Zhang Nuo know all about their relationship with Zhang Nuo, but the process must go. Let's go with the trick of Jue.

This is not aimed at anyone, but a necessary rule.

So, if Li Shimin still wants to see Zhang Nuo come to his house unscrupulously to eat, visit his students every now and then, and come to the back garden of his house to look at the crops when he has nothing to do, That may mean that Zhang Nuo really has to be given the throne.

Li Shimin is not reluctant to bear the throne.In his opinion, it would be no problem at all to exchange Zhang Nuo's achievements for an idle prince who has no real power but only status.

What he hesitated was whether to make the throne hereditary.

Don't underestimate the word hereditary, you must know that no matter how good Zhang Nuo's title of King of Qin was before, in fact, everyone knows that this thing is temporary, because the title of King of Qin cannot be hereditary, and it only belongs to Zhang Nuo.

As for what titles Zhang Nuo's children will have in the future, we'll have to wait and see.

But if the title of King of Leisure becomes hereditary, it means that Zhang Nuo's unborn child has already reserved a hat of King of Leisure if he is born in the future.
