Chapter 162: The Fisherman's Profit

With a beginning, there will be a follow-up.

Therefore, every afternoon, Li Chengqian had to go to the harem to greet his father and mother, and by the way, accept the emperor's doctrine taught by the emperor's father himself.

In fact, many times, things that are originally simple are packaged in a way that can be confusing and even intimidating. Imperialism is one of them. It seems to be an important knowledge that cannot be passed on, but in fact, it is the same as the carpenter's apprenticeship, it is the inheritance of some skills.

As long as Li Chengqian enters the harem and stays with Li Shimin, the eldest grandson will take the initiative to avoid it. In the entire hall, only a few loyal eunuchs guarded the surrounding windows.

"Doubt is not a vice, on the contrary, it is a virtue of the emperor. No matter what you look at, you can't completely believe it, and the trust that an emperor can give can never exceed six points. Even if you see something that has become an established fact at some point, you should not be relieved, because danger often appears in the moment after you succeed...."

After saying this, Li Shimin naturally picked up a letter on the table and handed it to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian took it with both hands and unfolded it, but when he saw the package, he was startled.

This turned out to be the 100,000 urgent secret report of the Hundred Cavalry Division, and the Red Feather Urgent Envoy is already the fastest way to deliver news in this era, and the 100,000 urgent secret report of the Hundred Cavalry Division, the speed is even higher than this. 手机端 一秒記住→.\B\\\\.\\為你提供精彩\novel說薱讀。

After reading this secret report with a serious attitude, Li Chengqian thought for a while before asking: "Father, do you plan to send troops?" ”

Li Shimin smiled: "It doesn't matter what I plan, what matters is, if you are me, what choice will you make?" ”

Just as when the locust plague came in the court, Li Shimin threw Li Chengqian with a difficult question.

The 100,000 urgent reports of the Hundred Cavalry Division only talked about two things. First, in the territory of the Eastern Turks, Jieli didn't know what kind of wind he was pumping, so he fought with the Turks. Turki was also a khan, and although his status was not as good as that of Jieli Khan, he was also an important part of the Eastern Turks. Once these two people have a conflict, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for others. Especially in Datang, the shame of Weishui is still there, and this is the best opportunity for shame.

And the second thing is that Tuli has sent an envoy to visit Datang, hoping to get Datang's help. The border officials were afraid that the envoys of Tuli would learn about the locust plague in the Guannai, so they did not dare to enter the territory.

Recalling the invincible appearance on the bridge that day, Li Chengqian couldn't help but clench his hands. For Datang, this can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and "if you should decide, you should decide" is still a truth learned yesterday.

But....

Closing the secret report and handing it back to Li Shimin with both hands, Li Chengqian said seriously: "Father, if it is a son-in-law, he will definitely not believe this. How could Tuli and Jieli fight? Even if the investigation of the Hundred Horsemen Division is correct, there must be something strange in it. Although the Turks are barbarians, they should not be unaware of the truth that internal strife will lead to external trouble. Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer. The affairs of the Three Kingdoms are not far away, how can they be easily fooled now?

What's more, we are suffering from a locust plague in the Guannai, and although the treasury and requisitioned grain can supply this disaster, it is far from enough to send troops. Even if they barely scrape together the food and grass needed for the expedition, there is no shortage of people in the Sixteen Guards Army, and it is difficult for them to exert their combat power when they are worried about their hometown. Fighting in a difficult situation should be done when there is no way out. If you want to tempt Datang, the bait thrown by Jieli is not enough. ”

Hahahaha!

Li Shimin laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Li Chengqian's shoulder, and said proudly: "Your analysis is very correct, that's what I think." Those who are trending for big profits are blind to small profits. Come on, Du Ru, the secretary of the Propaganda Army, will meet you. ”

Since there are foreign ministers who want to enter, Li Chengqian can only retreat behind the scenes, and the crown prince belongs to the crown prince, and his current age is actually not qualified to participate in court politics.

It didn't take long for Du Ruhui to sign up.

Unlike last year, this year's Du Ruhui looks completely non-sick. It was precisely because of his return that Li Xiaogong handed over the position of the secretary of the military department. Above the court, Shangshu Servant Shot, Zhongshu Ling, etc. are iron-clad, although the six Shangshu are also in high power, they are the ones who are most frequently replaced.

The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Households are the three most important departments, so those who serve as these three Shangshu must be close ministers of the Son of Heaven.

Seeing that Du Ruhui was walking squarely and not sick at all, Li Shimin smiled: "Aiqing suffers from lung disease, although I have social support, I can't bear to see Aiqing coughing up blood due to shortness of breath." Now that you've recovered, I'm relieved. ”

Du Ruhui bowed and thanked the emperor for his concern before saying: "It's also the luck of Weichen, this lung disease has tormented the old minister for many years, but fortunately, Doctor Sun came to the rescue, and he left the sickbed." His Majesty is in a hurry to invite the old ministers to come, but there is something important? ”

Li Chengqian watched Li Shimin erase the mark belonging to the Baiqi Division on the outside of the document before handing over the information to Du Ruhui.

Fang Xuanling's strategy is superb, and Du Ru's ability to make decisions is extraordinary. Even if it was the Xuanwumen incident, it was Du Ruhui's decision.

After carefully reading the battle report, Du Ruhui frowned and thought for a long time before asking: "Your Majesty, you summoned the old minister into the palace today to meet alone, but you hesitated?" ”

Li Shimin shook his head: "It's not that hesitating, and no matter whether the battle between Jieli and Tuli is true or not, it is impossible for me to send troops north." I called you over, just to ask, if Jieli and Tuli really have a civil war, is it appropriate for us to send troops to Datang? Jieli has a covenant with us, and Tuli has also bowed to me, if I send troops, I am afraid of bearing the infamy of treachery. ”

Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, Yidi does not pay attention to faithfulness. Although I Datang kept the covenant, they often broke the covenant. Now they are in civil strife of their own, so to speak, to bring about their own destruction. When the interruption continues, but suffers from the chaos, Weichen thinks that even if I Datang does not plan to send troops in the near future, I should not ignore this matter! ”

Li Shimin thought about it and felt that it was better to float near the bait. There are so many fish in this land that if you don't guard it early, the devil knows who will take it.

"That being the case, the edict ordered the general Zhou Fan to garrison Taiyuan to prepare for war, and pay close attention to the movements of Jieli and Tuli. If these two people are indeed in a civil war, we Datang, fishermen, can't even have a boat ready. ”

"Command!"

Looking at Du Ruhui who was striding away, Li Chengqian, who was behind the scenes, couldn't help but smack his lips.

It seems that his appearance still disrupted the original historical rhythm in the end. Du Ruhui was supposed to be trapped by lung disease, and he was finished in Zhenguan after four years. But looking at him now, let alone two years, even if it is twenty years, he will still live!
