Chapter 808: Cutting the Land and Killing People
As soon as Wei Zheng opened his mouth, the whole hall was shocked!
Old Wei Zheng didn't spray the emperor at this time, and actually asked to stop sending Yulu?
This old poor ghost is counting on that little bit of pension for the elderly, and he still wants the emperor to stop it?
Li Shimin didn't expect Wei Zheng to not scold him, but put forward this request.
"Wei Zheng, the whole world is attacking the Tang Dynasty, you don't have anything to say to me?"
After thinking about it, Li Shimin still decided to let Wei Zheng scold himself. The world's attack on Tang has begun, rather than being bedridden by Wei Zheng after a while, it is better to finish being angry now.
Wei Zheng arched his hand and said: "Weichen naturally has something to say to Your Majesty, Weichen asks Your Majesty to take care of your body, don't stay up late and sleepless, don't be sick from the cold..."
Listening to Wei Zheng's mother-in-law's words telling the emperor to keep healthy, the courtiers couldn't help but wipe their eyes. Is this still the bedridden Wei Zheng who made the emperor angry?
Li Shimin was also frightened, when did Wei Zheng change his personality?
“.... Your Majesty, this is an unprecedented moment of crisis in the Central Plains, you are the emperor, only if you stay healthy, can you coordinate the overall situation, and only by maintaining your state of mind can you open up a way forward at this desperate time. Weichen is not talented, and he recommended himself as the pacification envoy of Jingbei Province, united with the state capitals, established a second line of defense, and guarded the supply line! Never let the barbarians step into the Central Plains! ”
Li Shimin was shocked, not only surprised by Wei Zheng's change, but also surprised by Wei Zheng's request.
This guy actually wants to go to the border to establish a second line of defense?
To tell the truth, there are really not enough generals at the border gates, otherwise, they would not have let the sick Li Ji and Zhang Gongjin also go to the front.
While the battle on the edge is important, the second line of defense is just as important as the supply line.
The reason why it can't be built is because there is no one.
The Tang Dynasty military is at the time of the replacement of the old and the new, and the only two who stand out in the new generation are Tang Jin and Xue Rengui, and the rest of the people have not yet confirmed whether they are qualified to carry the banner of the military.
At this critical juncture when the world is attacking the Tang Dynasty, it is better to make fewer appointments than to appoint them indiscriminately.
As a result, the supply lines and the second line of defense on the battlefields of all sides need to be built by the border armies themselves.
Li Shimin stood up: "Wei Zheng, Jingbei Province is in the bitter cold, and it is extremely difficult, are you sure you want to go over?" ”
Li Shimin never hit the self-confidence of his subordinates, especially at this juncture, there is indeed a shortage of people.
Wei Zheng said with a smile: "It's hard to chase a horse if you say it!" ”
Li Shimin nodded, Wei Zheng was willing to stand up for responsibility at this time, which was undoubtedly a good start.
"Then I will appoint you as the pacification envoy of Jingbei Province, Wei Zheng, I represent the Duke of Kui Guo of Jingbei Province, and there are 20,000 soldiers, thank you!"
Wei Zheng smiled before standing up and retreating to the ranks of civil officials.
Du Ruhui laughed, stood up and said: "Old man Wei dares to be the first, Keming admires it, Jingbei Province has him, and he can be safe." Your Majesty, the old minister is also willing to recommend himself as the pacification envoy of Longyoudao. The whole world attacked the Tang Dynasty, but Gaochang was the most critical, Longyou Road has been attacking since ancient times, although Weichen is not talented, but he is willing to go to Longyou to try! ”
Li Shimin smiled and nodded: "Aiqing is hard, Longyou Dao will be handed over to Aiqing!" ”
With Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui taking the lead, the courtiers had recovered from the shock.
Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui did the right thing, since the world's attack on Tang has become a reality, and the generals of the military have begun to fight the enemy, then they also have to play a role.
War represents disaster, but also carries opportunities, and if you want to make meritorious contributions in the ordinary court, you can only stand up in this time of crisis!
Seeing that the court did not become a pot of porridge because of the world's attack on the Tang Dynasty, but showed unprecedented cohesion, Li Shimin was suddenly full of pride.
What about the world's attack on Tang?
I'll let you see how powerful Datang is!
I want you to understand that war does not mean that a large number of people and a large number of countries can be won!
Stretching out his hand to signal the ministers to calm down, Li Shimin said: "The candidate for the pacification envoy, I already have a draft, so there is no need to argue." ”
The courtiers fell silent for a moment.
Now it seems that the emperor should have known the news of the world's attack on Tang for a long time, and even prepared for it a long time in advance.
The seemingly reasonable border patrol is actually the emperor's prevention of war.
One by one, the positions were arranged by Li Shimin, and there were only six battlefields, and only six pacification envoys were needed. If the courtiers were sent out, then the court would be at risk of being paralyzed.
Just when Li Shimin was appointing one by one, a guard walked into the main hall and said, "Your Majesty, there is a person dressed in Goryeo outside, and after handing over this letter to the lowly post, he will cut himself in front of the palace gate." ”
Nameless took the envelope from the guard's hand and handed it over to Li Shimin after confirming that there were no hands and feet.
After reading the letter, Li Shimin laughed angrily: "What a Yuan Gai Suwen, I couldn't kill you for a while, I didn't expect to really raise a tiger!" ”
After speaking, Li Shimin threw down the letter and made it to the dragon chair.
Fang Xuanling, who was at the front, picked up the letter and read it:
"The late Goryeo King Yuan Gai Suwen sent a letter to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin:
After more than ten years, is the Tang Emperor healthy today? Goryeo's skills were poor, and he could not resist Tang Zhi's sharpness and died. However, the dead ashes can also be rekindled, the anthill bursts, and now the Tang Dynasty is full of wolf smoke, is Junle happy? ....”
This is a letter that is ridiculed to the extreme, and the letter also explains that the whole world is attacking the Tang Dynasty, including the culprit who spread rumors before, is Yuan Gai Suwen.
Although Goryeo perished, Yuangai Suwen was not dead, and he couldn't recover his strength with the help of the Japanese state, so he ran in many directions, which lasted several years, and actually persuaded all the countries around the Tang Dynasty to join forces to attack the Tang Dynasty.
Even the distant Great Food was instigated by him to participate in it.
"You can rest assured, and the whole world will attack Tang, and there is no room for it. If the Tang Dynasty cuts the land of Jingbei Province and the Turks, the land of Shandong Province and Goryeo, Silla, and Baekje, the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou and the Wa Kingdom, the land of Lingnan and Dashi, the land of Shu and Tubo, the right road of Longlong and the countries of the Western Regions, and then kills the protector of the country, Leng Feng, the wolf smoke can be eliminated..."
Reading this, Fang Xuanling angrily tore the letter to shreds!
Wei Zheng's beard blew up: "It's too much to deceive people, this Yuan covers Suwen, do you think that the whole world will attack the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty will be defeated?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji also laughed angrily: "Cutting the land and giving it away? Hehe, even if these places are broken, they don't want to get them easily! ”
Du Ruhui stood up: "And kill the protector? It seems that this guy thinks that the rise of the Tang Dynasty is because of the protector of the country. Hehe, as the only heirloom of the Tang Dynasty, how can the life of the Duke of the Protector be coveted by such a young person? ”
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Shimin asked, "Do you think that Datang wants to cut the land and kill people?" ”
Wei Zheng was the first to shout: "Absolutely not!" ”
The courtiers all stood up, stretched out their arms and clenched their fists in the air: "Absolutely not!" ”
