Fang Xuanling slowly said his guess: "The worst possibility is that Li Mu has been planning for this for many years......"

As he spoke, Fang Xuanling entered the 'Di Renjie' mode, and his voice was lowered, appearing even more unfathomable: "Just imagine, if Li Mu had known that he was the son of King Xi...... It was horrible. ”

He made a great contribution by chance, and took this opportunity to deliberately marry Li Ji's son Li Siwen as a brother, leaving him to wait for the opportunity in Dingxiang, slaughtering the Gaochang royal family, and making his father-in-law the king of Gaochang. Later, he united with the king of Hejian County, who was resentful of His Majesty and the Emperor Taishang, and made the protection of Dingxiang. In just a few years, 50,000 Dingxiang troops have been trained, all of whom were recruited by the king of Hejian and Li Mu's righteous brothers, and their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty is really not credible. At this time, His Majesty is not in Chang'an, Li Mu has won a big victory, if he brings the power of this great victory, he comes to coerce the prince to order the princes, and lead 50,000 Dingxiang troops to the south, I am afraid that it will be like a bamboo, Your Majesty is far away in the sky, and it will be too late for him to come back! ”

"If these inferences are true, then it must be part of his plan to bring the prince to Dingxiang!"

"This ......" Empress Eldest Sun is smart, but because she is smart, she thinks more. Fang Xuanling connected all kinds of things together, and she couldn't help but think about it too much.

Fang Xuanling said excitedly: "This matter is now between the two, and the old minister feels that what should be done at this time is to bring Li Mu's family to Chang'an." If he ......"

"What are you talking about?" Li Tai, who had been listening to it for a long time, was already furious: "Fang Xiang, I respect you very much, but I never imagined that you could say such things today." My eldest brother, no, my teacher's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty and his father's loyalty can be seen from heaven and earth. The king didn't believe that he would do such a thing! ”

Fang Xuanling didn't expect Li Tai to speak to him like this, he was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously distinguished: "King Wei, the old minister is preparing for a rainy day, if he doesn't prepare in advance, if he does this, no matter how hastily he prepares, it will be too late!" ”

Fang Xuanling sighed: "Don't you know that the old man is slandered in the back is a villain's act? But the old minister just reminded the queen and the regent that they could not let the prestige of Li Mu and the king of Hejian continue to rise, this is not about victory or defeat, but about the stability of the society! If the two of them do not have a disobedient heart, they will definitely be happy to see it and suppress public opinion. This is also a good thing for the two of them! ”

Empress Eldest Sun motioned to Li Tai not to speak, and Wen Yan said with relief: "Fang Xiang is doing his best for the society, how can this palace not know?" After pondering for a moment, she looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Then, in your opinion, what should be done about this matter?" ”

"First of all, send credible people to Dingxiang to see with their own eyes what the situation is over there. Whether these two people have a disobedient heart. Secondly......" Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Tai and said, "It should be regarded as a villain's move, and the old minister is willing to be this villain." Li Mu's family, as well as the family of the king of Hejian County, must be taken to Chang'an City for residential surveillance. Li Tai was about to speak, but was pulled by Empress Eldest Sun, Fang Xuanling continued: "There is a precedent for this matter, and when the general goes on an expedition, there must be a proton." This has been the case in all dynasties, and it is not considered to be mistreating him. ”

Li Tai turned around angrily and no longer looked at Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling also let go, and said to himself: "In the end, it is to guide public opinion. I heard him say in a deep voice: "First of all, we must emphasize that this battle is Your Majesty's plan, it can be said that this is something Your Majesty has long expected, and before sending troops to Goguryeo, you have already left a bag. In this way, it can not only play a role in reassuring the people, but also set off His Majesty's strategy, Li Mu, and the king of Hejian are only executors, not planners. The full support of the six departments. Secondly, it is necessary to tell the common people that first the Qiuzi defenders thwarted the Turkic offensive, and then there were Li Mu and Li Xiaogong's great victories, and some of their results were underreported......"

Li Tai secretly scolded the old treacherous and cunning in his heart, every sentence he said was the truth, but the addition and subtraction completely changed the taste, Li Mu and Li Xiaogong's achievements did not sound so spitting, what a good hand at harmony.

"Isn't this a bit too much...... "After all, Empress Changsun still has a conscience, and she feels that this is too sorry for Li Mu and Li Xiaogong. If Li Mu and Li Xiaogong didn't have a disobedient heart, when he returned triumphantly, his face would not look good. The battle report is very clear, without Li Mu with the Huzun cannon over, Qiuzi City will inevitably fall, if there is no Li Xiaogong to lead the army to ambush, there is definitely no half-crossing attack behind, this is a real merit!

"Queen, everything the old minister said is the truth, and it is also for their good." Fang Xuanling said lightly: "If the two of them are dedicated to the community and have no selfish thoughts, they won't mind." If it is really the old minister who is too worried. When they triumphed, the old minister was willing to write a proclamation in person, explaining the cause and effect clearly, even if he was ruined, the old minister was willing! ”

When it came to this, Queen Eldest Sun had no choice but to agree, anyway, Fang Xuanling had the black pot on his back, and when the time came, it would be on him, this was his own volition, did anyone force him.

And so it was decided.

Li Tai was resistant, so Empress Eldest Sun asked Fang Xuanling to personally take charge of this matter, and Fang Xuanling hurriedly arranged for it to write a front-page headline to be printed in tomorrow's Datang Daily.

But when the report was written, there was a problem with the printing. Tang Guan, who is the president of Datang Daily, said that he would not let this article pass. In desperation, Fang Xuanling had no choice but to lead someone to arrest him, and the newspaper was successfully printed.

When Li Tai heard this, he was so angry that he couldn't eat. He sent someone to take Tang Guan to the palace, and immediately flew the pigeon to pass the book, and told Li Mu everything about this side. At the same time, he also flew a pigeon to pass a book to Li Shimin, gave Fang Xuanling eye medicine, and asked Li Shimin to issue an edict to reprimand him.

The people of Chang'an, who were still immersed in joy, couldn't wait to know the details of this battle, they wanted to see how the king of Hejian was wise and martial, and how the Tang soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, so they could continue to brag and celebrate in the evening.

In order to let the people clearly understand the content of today's front page headlines, Fang Xuanling also intimately arranged hundreds of students from Hongwenguan to act as newspaper readers for the people, and read the content of the Datang Daily over and over again for the people.

"This battle is thanks to Your Majesty's strategic planning, early insight into the first, and calculated that the Western Turks were going to take advantage of the fire to rob. He informed the countries of the Western Regions early on, bought them time to prepare, and also sent countless gold and silver treasures, so that the countries of the Western Regions could hire people to defend the city...... Although the king of Hejian led his army to attack halfway, most of the kills and casualties were servant troops, and the real main force of the Turks was still there, and the losses were not large, and the victory or defeat was not yet known......"

As the newspaper reader raised his voice, the excited expressions of the common people gradually dimmed, and were replaced by an indescribable sense of loss......

"How does it sound, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with Master Hou?" Although Li Mu has been promoted to duke, the people are still used to calling him the marquis.

"Yes, haven't you heard, it's Your Majesty's insight into the opportunity, the mercenaries are guarding the city, and our people are beating the side drum at most."

"There is also a lot of water in the record of the king of Hejian County, and all the servants are eliminated, and the real Turkic main force is fine!"

"Hey, I'll just say, Master Hou is so young, how can he be so powerful......"

"It is rumored that he is an immortal, after all, he is not a real immortal."

"White is happy for a ......"

The common people talked and shook their heads, although the joy of victory was still there, but the hero in their hearts was hidden...... Zero Zero Book House

I have to say that Fang Xuanling's trick is very ingenious, and the people who originally admired Li Xiaogong a lot, only to find that what they knew was quite different from the 'facts' after reading the Di newspaper. It turns out that the king of Hejian is not as heroic and clever as those rumors say. The joy in the hearts of the people is gradually dissipating, and even more people feel that Li Xiaogong is nothing more than that, and the great victory in this battle still depends on His Majesty's layout and arrangement.

Soon, the content of Datang Daily had spread throughout the city, and those people who were originally overjoyed gradually calmed down, and even felt that this victory belonged to others and had nothing to do with themselves. As for the desire to celebrate, it is natural that it has gradually faded......

Fang Xuanling, the initiator of all this, let out a long sigh when he saw such a situation. He returned home, wrote a letter about what happened here, found the fan of Dongchang, and asked him to send it to Li Shimin in an urgent manner.

He felt he was doing the right thing!

……

Another day passed, the sun rose as usual, and there were very few people in the capital who talked about yesterday's good news, and even if someone provoked the conversation, they were quickly moved to other places, and the common people were a little ashamed to mention the matter.

Fang Xuanling came out of his home and went to the imperial city, and after listening to the news that the coachman heard, he couldn't help but brush his beard proudly, he could calm down the situation in one day, and change others, who could do it?

At this moment, he suddenly heard the voices of people outside, gongs and drums, Fang Xuanling thought that someone was married, but after listening to it, he felt that it was wrong, because the east, west, north and south were all ringing together, how could there be a reason for the people in the city to get married collectively?

Fang Xuanling opened the curtain, looked at it, and said to the coachman: "Go and see, what happened outside so lively?" ”

The coachman answered, and ran out as soon as he slipped away, and after a while, the coachman came back, also with a happy face, and reported to Fang Xuanling with the loudest voice: "Grandpa, great joy, great joy!" ”

"Hou Ye led an army of 30,000 to catch up with the Turkic remnants in the Camel Valley, and took advantage of the night to make the flying ball cross the Camel Valley, blowing up the valley mouths on both sides, and a fire came to burn the company camp, and more than 30,000 Turks died!"

As the newspaper reader raised his voice, the excited expressions of the common people gradually dimmed, and were replaced by an indescribable sense of loss......
