Chapter 164: The Old Immortal and the Little Thief

"Liang Xuanmo, the word master, and the people of the Wu clan. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the criminal department Shangshu Liang Bi was a servant. Born in Longxi Haoyou, worship the eagle and raise the general. In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, he killed Tang Shizong, the county prince, and proclaimed himself the prime minister. The Turkic rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, seized Diaoyin, Honghua, Yan'an and other counties, enthroned as emperor, established the Liang State, and the year name Yonglong.

He colluded with Turkic outsiders to seize the Central Plains of our country, and flattered Shibi Khan, was named Dadu Viga Khan, and constantly instigated the Turks to invade the Central Plains in the south. After the Tang Dynasty unified the whole country, its forces were isolated and weak, and internal contradictions intensified.

Last year, our imperial court moved an envoy to warn him that he was unwilling to conquer because of his meritorious service to the anti-Sui Dynasty, so he swore to die. In today's civil war, there is no time to take care of the Tang Dynasty, which can be described as a good opportunity. Now there is only one of the anti-kings left in my Tang Dynasty, although there is a locust plague in the Guannei, but the army is sent to conquer the Liang State, so as not to burden the country. ”

Above the main hall, Du Ruhui spoke loudly.

Indeed, the rivalry between Jieli and Tuli can be said to be a godsend. The Liang State of Liang Shidu, only because it was sandwiched between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, made the Tang Dynasty throw a mouse and did not dare to do it casually.

Now that there is a civil war in Jieli and Tuli, it would be too much to say that such a good opportunity not to beat him.

Du Ruhui is the secretary of the military department, although he cannot directly give an order to attack, but he can put it forward above the court.

With Du Ruhui's suggestion, the generals were all smiling like no eyes.

Now that Datang is stable, everyone is living a rich life. But eating too much wine and food is always easy to make people slack. It's so happy to be able to get a fight now!

Li Jing thought for a while, waited for Du Ruhui to finish speaking, and stood up without hesitation and said: "Your Majesty, Jieli and Tuli are now in a civil war, and I, Datang, can sit and wait for the benefits of the fisherman." If we take Liangshidu, I will be able to push north towards the border line and wait for the opportunity to go north. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

Li Shimin, who was on the throne, closed his eyes and thought for a while.

As a former commander-in-chief, he is naturally not a military idiot. Datang's deal with Liang Guo can be described as killing chickens with a knife. Driving the army to take down such a piece of chicken ribs is indeed worth the loss. But if it is helpful to attack the Turks in the north, it is useless to say that it is useless, even if it is a loss, it can be bearable.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin nodded, got up and said, "Order: Governor Shi Liu Min and Sima Liu Lancheng seek to take their land." After captives, they were released back to serve as countervailers to separate their kings and ministers. The border army sent light cavalry to ravage its crops, leaving its grain reserves empty. Ordered Chai Shao and Xue Wan to lead 20,000 troops, join forces to fight, and ordered Liu Min to lead elite troops to directly occupy Shuofang Dongcheng. If Jieli sends troops to support, fight back! ”

In the ranks of generals, Chai Shao and Xue Wan were overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped out of the ranks and knelt on one knee. Fastest update... / .. /

Although the Liang Kingdom was not challenging to attack, they had no choice but to be picky about them who had been in their comfort zone for too long.

After solving the matter of sending troops to Liang Shidu, no one came out to start the performance for a long time.

Fang Xuanling held up the two chapters in his sleeve, sighed, and decided to stand up.

It is impossible for the crown prince and the prince to be unaware of the formal procedure, and he is qualified to intercept these two letters, but they did just that.

The emperor is only attacking the prestige of the five surnames, and these two have made up their minds to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle!

Although Mrs. Fang is a woman with five surnames, as the prime minister, he can't say anything about the five surnames at this time.

People can't be grass on the wall, at a critical time, you have to stand in the right team!

"Your Majesty, Zhongshu Province has received a recital from the prince of the East Palace and the prince and the prince. This is the first time since the incident of the displaced people. The old minister felt that both of them were reasonable, so he hoped that the court would adopt it. ”

"Oh? The prince is playing again? This is a new thing. Since you have it, just help them read it. ”

Seeing that Fang Xuanling had made a choice, Li Shimin couldn't help but become softer when he spoke.

originally thought that Li Shimin had a lot of opinions about Fang Xuanling. But now it seems that this guy's heart is still towards his own after all.

The prince's letter is on the dragon case, and even if the two letters are left by the Zhongshu Province, the establishment of the academy is still unquestionable.

Li Gang's grand essay tells that since the Warring States period, it has always been difficult to popularize education. Now that Datang has stabilized, it should immediately begin to educate the world....

Li Chengqian's recital directly told the various benefits of building the college, and wrote a whole piece of paper one by one. Don't say that reading it all is half of it, and it can also make people agree.

After reading the two letters, Fang Xuanling arched his hand, ignored a few resentful glances, and returned to his position.

"Since the prince wants to establish an academy, let him go. The prince does not care about the government and politics, but cares about the education of the Tang Dynasty, which I am happy to see. Not only what do you think? ”

As soon as the emperor's words fell, Wang Ze, the left attendant of the household department, jumped out impatiently: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate." Hearing the words of the prince, the academy built needs to accommodate hundreds of students, which is not at all comparable to Hongwen Hall and Chongwen Hall. If it is built, I am afraid it will be as big as a square market. Now that the locust plague is going on, the military department has to send troops again, and the household department can't afford it. Therefore, the establishment of an academy must not be done. ”

I already knew that someone would stand up, so Li Shimin didn't get angry, but said with a smile: "The prince's recital has already made it clear that all the expenses, not from the treasury, will be borne by the East Palace." ”

Seeing that Wang Ze stood up and then retreated gloomily, Cui Ying, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, also spoke: "Your Majesty, it is also the long-cherished wish of the ministers to educate the world. It's just that how can the prince preside over such a serious matter? It's not that the minister underestimates the prince, the prince is young, and the quality of the teacher he seeks may not be very good. Weichen is not talented, and is willing to recommend several elders in the clan to take up this position. ”

Let someone from your clan be a teacher? Wouldn't that lead the wolf into the house?

The emperor, who had long expected that someone would say this, smiled unchanged: "It seems that you didn't listen carefully, the prince and master Li Gang made it clear that the selection of Mr. Teaching should be presided over by him." The old gentleman knows a lot of Confucianism all over the world, will there be a shortage of these people? Aiqing is too worried, step down. ”

Looking at the emperor's smiling and groaning appearance, Cui Ying's heart was desolate....

Naturally, he didn't listen carefully to the content of the song, because he had already guessed what they really meant when he first introduced the thoughts of the old immortal Li Gang and the little thief prince.

The emperor threatened them that the five surnames would rely on imperial power, and these two people were even more ferocious, and they actually directly attacked one of the roots of their family!

If this academy is really built, and it really teaches a large number of scholars, what should they do?
