"The sons and daughters have seen their fathers and the emperor, and they have seen their mothers."

The crown prince Li Xian came quickly, and the little eunuch who went to summon him went to just over a quarter of an hour, he had hurried into the imperial study, his face was full of sweat, obviously he was in a hurry, and his complexion was not very good, his original face was full of haggardness, but he was only twenty-three years old, and he looked like he was middle-aged, which shows that he has not been comfortable all these years———— since he was in charge of the Empress Wu, Li Xian has been increasingly marginalized, despite his continuous efforts, but he is getting farther and farther away from the political core, There is basically no room for the big things in the court, and without the nod of the martial arts queen on big and small matters, Li Xian can't do anything, and under the long-term depression, people are getting old faster, and their hearts can't be relieved.

"Well, the military report from Hexi is at your place?"

Gaozong was very unhappy in his heart, and his face was not a little pale-colored because the prince was very polite, and he didn't even shout, so he went straight to the point.

"Ah, oh, if you go back to your father's words, there is indeed a military report from Hexi at the child's place, which was sent to the child by the queen mother the day before yesterday."

As soon as he heard Gaozong's unkind tone, Li Xian's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and some of them raised their heads in disbelief, and said twice before they hurried to report.

"Why don't you tell me, huh?"

Gaozong was not relieved by Li Xian's explanation, his face was a little more ugly, and he snorted in great displeasure.

"This ......"

Hearing that Gaozong was chasing this military report, Li Xian's face couldn't help but become a little bitter - the day before yesterday, the Empress Wu sent someone to report the Hexi military report to the East Palace, saying that he wanted him to draw up a strategy for the sake of court discussion, and Li Xian accepted this military report, but he didn't take it to heart, one was that he didn't want to do such a thankless job, and secondly, he subconsciously didn't want to see Li Xian continue to make contributions, so he dragged it and didn't pay attention to it, and he planned to take care of it after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he didn't expect Gaozong to know about the military report, also chattered endlessly, which made Li Xian inevitably suspect that he was summoned this time because the Empress Wu was chewing the root of his tongue behind, and he was angry, but he didn't know where to start.

"It's really daring, is this kind of military affairs also child's play? You, you, are you really going to be angry? ”

Gaozong was already holding back a fire in his heart, and when he looked at Li Xian's cowering little appearance, he couldn't hold back his anger, slapped the copy, pointed at Li Xian and scolded him unceremoniously.

"The father is angry, the father is angry, the son does not dare to be rude and illegal, but because this matter is too important, and the queen mother has no special instructions, the son does not dare to slack off, and has discussed with the subordinate officials many times in the past few days, but has not been able to reach a consensus, so he does not dare to easily disturb the father."

When the matter came to this point, Li Xian's heart already believed that he had been cheated by Empress Wu, and he was 120,000 points unwilling, so he took advantage of the accusation to bite Empress Wu in turn.

"Crazy, when the palace handed over the military report, but I told that this matter must be handled urgently, you are lazy, but you complain that the palace has not explained clearly, what is the reason, huh?"

Empress Wu is not so easy to bite, and before Gaozong could speak, she had already refuted Li Xian unceremoniously, and her voice was extremely powerful.

"The queen mother misunderstood, the child did not dare to talk nonsense, in fact, the slave who came to transfer did not have the slightest explanation, but the child did not dare to delay, but the child is not familiar with the military affairs, so that to this day has not been able to have some clues, is the child's."

knew that he was severely pitted by the martial queen, but Li Xian didn't dare to carry it to the end except for the bitterness in his heart, so he could only explain in a low voice.

"That's enough, I'll ask you, where is that military report now, huh?"

Gaozong had the military situation on the front line in his heart, and how could he have the leisure to pay attention to the dispute between the mother and son, so he waved his hand and asked impatiently.

"Ah, in the children's palace."

When Li Xian was summoned this time, the eunuch who went to pass the decree did not explain the purpose of Gaozong's summons, and he did not even mention the matter of the Hexi Military Report, there is no doubt that this is the reason why the Empress Wu did something in it, and it is clear that he wants to pull Li Xian to be the scapegoat, at this time, Li Xian can also be regarded as seeing it, but he can see it, but he has no way at all, and in the face of Gaozong's questioning, he can only bow his head in embarrassment, and answer cautiously.

"Then why don't you go and get it, what are you doing here, don't you think I'm angry enough!"

Gaozong was in an anxious mood, and the more he looked at Li Xian, the more unpleasant he became, and he slapped the following copy angrily, and scolded angrily.

"Ah, yes, the father is angry, the child is going, this is going."

Li Xian was scolded by Gaozong so red-faced, and he was very aggrieved in his heart, but he didn't dare to complain, so he could only honestly answer the promise, and hurriedly rushed back to the East Palace.

"Enlighten the father, the child has brought the Hexi military newspaper, and ask the father to read it."

Li Xian walked a few steps, came to the copywriter, and respectfully handed the general newspaper to Gaozong with both hands.

"Humph!"

As soon as he saw that the military newspaper had arrived, Gaozong didn't bother to be angry with Li Xian anymore, so he snorted coldly, stretched out his hand, and the general copied it, put it on the copy, opened it, and read it carefully.

"Crazy, just a little Tibetan Kou, dare to be rampant like this, is it tolerable or unbearable, I want to send a large army to exterminate this fang!"

Gaozong flipped through it quickly, and after a while, he went through the entire book, and at the end, he slapped the book on the copy, and scolded angrily.

"Your Majesty is angry, this matter has to be discussed in the long run, the concubine thinks that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival at this time, not a good opportunity to enter the army, and it is not too late to make plans in the next spring, as for Hexi, there is such a big talent as Xian'er, when there will be no problem, Your Majesty just relax."

The reason why Empress Wu handed over the Hexi Military Report to the prince was that he didn't want to sit back and watch Li Xianfeng rise to fruition, that is, to use the prince's jealousy to achieve this purpose.

"Your Majesty, what the Queen of Heaven said is very true, the harsh winter is coming, and the war is not good, if you fall into the plateau, it is difficult to ensure that the tragedy of Dafeichuan will not be repeated, and it should be safe."

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this matter should indeed be considered in the long run, and I implore Your Majesty to make a judgment."

"Your Majesty, soldiers, the major affairs of the country are not to be taken lightly, please think twice."

……

Among the ministers present, except for the prince and Pei Xingjian, all of them are the backbone of the party of the martial arts, although the words of the martial arts are euphemistic, but the meaning of opposing the conquest is very clear, and they will not let go of the opportunity to hold the stinky feet of the martial arts. He just lowered his head with a complicated face.

"Well, this matter, this matter ......"

Gaozong had the intention of supporting Li Xian's request for war, but when he saw that the Empress Wu and all the ministers were opposed, he was not too arbitrary, so he snorted a few times, but he didn't say why.

"Your Majesty, can you allow the old minister to read the military newspaper?"

Just when Gaozong was in a dilemma, he saw Pei Xingjian standing up from the side, bowing down, and pleading sincerely.

"This is natural, Pei Aiqingjun has skipped others, and I am about to learn one or two from it, so let's take it."

Gaozong has always trusted Pei Xingjian's ability, and when he heard that he wanted to read the military report, he would not be allowed to do so, so he waved his hand very happily and signaled the little eunuch who was accompanying him to come forward and forward the general report to Pei Xingjian.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long."

After Pei Xingjian thanked him politely, he took the military report cautiously, bowed slightly, and carefully studied this military report in front of the emperor, his expression was extremely focused, and he seemed to be extremely devoted, in fact, otherwise, his mind at this time was not in this military newspaper at all, just because he already knew the details inside, of course, it was not from the military report, but from the copy sent by Li Xian, in fact, the reason why he appeared in this imperial study today, It was all the result of Li Xian's explanation in advance, in order to return Li Xian's favor.

"Does Pei Aiqing have any opinion about this war?"

Pei Xingjian looked very slowly, but Gaozong did not have a trace of impatience, and sat quietly behind a few sons, until Pei Xingjian raised his head, and then asked with a smile.

"Battleable!"

Pei Xingjian gave a judgment concisely.

"Combatable? This ......, Pei Aiqing's meaning is ......"

Although Gaozong wanted to fight, he didn't have the bottom line in his heart, and he was really afraid that the tragedy of Dafeichuan would be staged again, although he was happy in his heart when he heard Pei Xingjian say this, he didn't dare to make a decision easily, but asked hesitantly.

"Your Majesty Mingjian, you Xianheng three years have asked the minister whether he can conquer Tibet, the minister said: No, just because the Tubo monarch is compatible, but can not be a battle, and now the old king of Tubo has been mourned, the new monarch is young, it is difficult to control the overall situation, even if Gar Qinling can again, there will be more constraints, one defeat, then Tubo is incompetent, with the ability of His Royal Highness the King of England, a battle will be determined, therefore, the minister thinks that at this time, the war will be won!"

Although Pei Xingjian had flipped through the notebook from time to time before, his mind was not on it, but when he finally decided whether he wanted to really help Li Xian with this great favor, when he raised his head, his heart was already firm in his original thoughts, and when he heard Gaozong's question, he would not hesitate at all, and gave a decisive judgment.

"Well said, I see it the same way, this battle should be fought! Come on, draft an edict! ”

As soon as he heard Pei Xingjian say so surely, the last trace of worry in Gaozong's heart was gone, and he didn't even ask the Empress Wu, and made a decision arbitrarily......
