Chapter 533: Li Cao, who has a change of plans and runs away
After listening to Li Chengqian's narration, Li Shimin came to the map hanging on the wall, looked at the map carefully, and marked it with a small flag, and was also thinking.
After waiting for a long time, Li Shimin slammed his fist on the map, "Gao Ming, your idea is good, my father agreed, and I will summon Li Jing and them over to discuss the specific arrangement in a while."
"That's okay, anyway, I don't understand this, until the fourth Eagle Guard has to continue to expand, the current speed is still not good, it's a little slow" Li Chengqian saw that this was done, and talked to Li Shimin about the Eagle Guard.
"Eagle Guard's business, it is not appropriate to expand, now Eagle Guard has to do to consolidate, but the Ministry of Education should pay attention to it, this time the third child left and took away a large number of talents, many local officials have vacancies, the officials selected by the imperial examination have been sent out, but there is still a big gap, and this year consumes too much money and food, it has been a little unable to make ends meet" As soon as Li Chengqian came out to expand the Eagle Guard, Li Shimin vetoed his proposal, but put forward his views on the opening of the Ministry of Education College.
"In this way, then I will come out with this money, the money for education cannot be saved, and as long as I survive this half a year, and when the Western Turks and Goguryeo are defeated, everything will be fine, and even if it is not possible, you can slow down the affairs of the northern grasslands, what do you think, Dad" Li Chengqian finished speaking, looked at his father and asked.
"This still depends on what Li Jing and they say, if they think that the four-front battle is not good, they will slow down, and listen to their suggestions, but there are some details, our father and son still have to discuss them, and give the general direction," Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.
After that, the father and son talked about various things.
In fact, such a thing could not have happened in ancient times, that is, Li Shimin was open-minded, and Li Chengqian often made good suggestions, which is why Li Shimin often drank Li Chengqian to discuss these major events, and over time, their father and son also formed such a habit, of course, it was Li Shimin who made the decision in the end.
After they finished discussing and came out of the Taiji Palace, Li Jing and the ministers who were called by Li Shimin also came to the Taiji Hall one after another to discuss the proposal that Li Chengqian had just put forward.
After various analyses by Li Jing, Du Ruhui and others and the actual situation of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian gave up the use of troops against the northern steppes and Tibet, and just stuck to the current situation, and directly sent a large army to send down the Western Turks and Goguryeo first.
Even Li Chengqian's idea of splitting the Wolf Guard did not take shape, but in order to take the Western Turks and Goguryeo faster, he directly let the Wolf Guard go to the northwest battlefield, and the White Tiger Guard continued to guard the Tang Dynasty.
And there has also been a change in personnel, that is, the northwest battlefield is commanded by Xue Rengui and other newly emerging generals, while in the northeast battlefield, it is Li Jing who personally takes command, leading the Xuanjia Army, Jin Wuwei, and the newly trained army in the past year.
After getting the news, Li Chengqian thought about it carefully, and he understood what was going on, the reason why Li Jing and others fought so hard for the conquest of Goguryeo was because of the fact that many of these generals were people who had experienced or knew the fiasco of the Sui Dynasty's three expeditions to Goguryeo, so now that they have the opportunity, how could they let it go.
After thinking about it, Li Chengqian was relieved, and he didn't go to his father for verification, but sent Wei Cheng over to provide Li Jing and them with all kinds of information.
Although this part of the Ming Wei led by Wei Cheng has not infiltrated in all aspects like Tuyuhun for more than a year, a lot of information can still be obtained.
And after having a feeling, Li Shimin decisively issued an order, the whole Tang Dynasty moved, all kinds of preparations were also carried out in secret, and all kinds of materials were secretly sent to the front line.
At the same time, because the influence of Li Ke's southward movement was also suppressed with the full cooperation of Ming Wei and Bai Huwei, and the Ministry of Education reported that Li Shimin's construction of academies at all levels had been approved, and the people's eyes were pulled back, and the entire Datang Society returned to its former appearance.
And Li Chengqian has also returned to his former appearance, taking care of his four little guys and Li Qing of Li Ke's family every day, and continuing to be his father.
However, such a good day did not pass for Li Chengqian, and with Xue Rengui's expedition, he was also topped by his eldest sister.
No, he just got up today, and his eldest sister came to the door and directly grabbed his ear and lifted him to the study.
"My daughter has seen her father", but as soon as he arrived in the study, Li Chengqian saw that Li Yun was also there, and he saluted himself and called someone.
This time Li Chengqian was depressed, and hurriedly shouted at Li Wei, who was still holding his ears, "Sister, my eldest daughter is still there, let go, save me some face, let go"
"Stinky boy, if you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house to uncover the tiles, don't think I don't know, your brother-in-law has your attention when he goes on the expedition, your nephew is still so young, you let his father go to war, what kind of heart do you say you have at peace" Li Chengqian didn't say that it was okay, Li Wei was even more angry when he said this, and he didn't pull Li Chengqian's ears anymore, he kicked him directly, and questioned Li Chengqian while kicking.
"My sister, is that something I can decide? Going out to fight the war, that's what our father said, at best, I just made a small opinion, you want to find someone to settle the account, you should go to our father" Li Chengqian said to Li Wei while hiding.
"Another little opinion, I heard that it's not like this, but Cao'er said it, all this is your attention"
"What, sister, you have to believe me, this is definitely slander, naked slander, is looking for that little girl to take revenge on me, doesn't Lao Tzu just disagree with her going to the battlefield? She actually slandered her father like this, see how I beat her in a while" Li Chengqian heard that it was Li Cao who said, and immediately became anxious, and while clearing up the relationship, he was thinking about how to clean her up.
But Li Wei's next sentence made Li Chengqian stunned directly, and Li Yun was also stunned.
"I want to clean her up, and I'll talk about it when this girl comes back from the battlefield! Why don't you know that this girl secretly took your token and took her men to the Northwest Battlefield? Li Wei looked at Li Chengqian with a blank look on his face and asked him.
"What, she went to the Northwest Battlefield, I was a day, this dead girl is crazy, that's the battlefield, what is she going to do as a girl, token, token, I remember that before my brother-in-law went on the expedition, I asked my brother-in-law to drink with them, and finally drank too much, it must have been that time, but sister, you know that the dead girl went, how can you not stop it, now ......"
"How did I stop it, I just found out, or our father saw that this little girl didn't go to the Taiji Hall to help for a few days, and after checking it, I found out that she took your token and set off with someone, and the direction of the trip was the Northwest Battlefield, I came to look for you today, and I met Wang De who came to deliver the letter, but Wang De I have already sent it back, and also asked him to keep his mouth shut, and let him go back to tell our father, blocking the news" Li Wei glared at Li Chengqian angrily and explained to him.
