When Zero galloped to the palace on horseback, the pilgrimage was still going on.

However, today's court hall is not so much a court meeting as a Yama hall.

In the middle of the civil and military ministers, there are people kneeling on the ground, and the quiet needle drop in the court can be heard.

The fact that the Emperor Taishang and the master might encounter an assassination made Li Chengqian angry, and at the beginning of the early dynasty, he didn't care about the fact that there was no investigation result, so he told the matter.

The emperor said this, naturally, because he was suspicious of the noble group who opposed the new policy some time ago. The eldest grandson Chong had already left Chang'an to take up his post in Zhaozhou, and in addition to him, the noble families who were involved in this matter were all trembling.

If the Assassins found out that one of them had sent them, they would be wiped out.

The current emperor was furious, the first time since he ascended the throne that he was so angry. With such an emperor, I'm afraid that just dismissing more than 20 lords will not be enough to calm the anger. And there is no excuse for sending assassins to assassinate the Emperor Taishang or the King of Ease. Determine the iniquity, even though they are all fish in the pond, they will inevitably suffer.

Whoever does this kind of thing, even if the emperor is ruthless, no matter whether it is the noble group or the people of the world, he will only applaud!

Fang Yiai has been kneeling for a long time, although he has now taken over as the head of the household department, but he does not dare to say anything else in this situation. The Fang family was able to pick up a bargain in this turmoil, and he believed that it was due to the accumulation of virtue by his ancestors. But in the same way, after replacing the position of the eldest grandson family as the biggest beneficiary, his suspicion is also the biggest one.

A yellow door hurriedly ran in, and did not stop at the bottom of the stairs, but ran all the way to the dragon chair, and whispered something in the emperor's ear.

After listening, Li Chengqian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The worst outcome is to find out that the assassin was sent by a certain family, and once it is confirmed, the court that has stopped will be in chaos for a while. Twenty-three families are already the limit. As the reigning emperor, he has reached his limits. I'm afraid the rest can only be handed over to future generations to carry out slowly.

The emperor's relaxed appearance was seen by many people, and many hearts finally fell.

After clearing his throat, Li Chengqian said, "Fang Qing, you all get up." This time, I'm wrong to blame you. ”

Hearing the news, Fang Yiai came back to his soul.

Leading the kneeling officials to get up, Fang Yiai hugged his fists and saluted: "Your Majesty's filial piety to the Emperor Taishang, your concern for the emperor, the sun and the moon can be seen, even if Weichen and others suffer some grievances, it is nothing." However, please also ask Your Majesty to explain where the assassins came from. If you don't break the black hands behind the scenes, it is really difficult for Weichen to swallow this breath! ”

Not only Fang Yiai was angry, but the people who had just knelt on the ground were just as indignant. They were not angry with the emperor for suspecting them, but they were furious at those who provoked it. When is the assassination bad, but something like this happened in this stall! At this time, of course, the emperor had to suspect them!

Blame the wrong person, Li Chengqian is still very embarrassed. Seeing that Fang Yiai's anger was about to erupt, he could only say: "The assassin was sent by the Japanese people, and the reason for doing it was to want to plunge Datang into turmoil." At the beginning, Emperor Taishang and others strategized and allowed the Silla Baekje people to gain a firm foothold on the island. Up to now, the three countries are fighting with each other openly and secretly. Thinking about it, the Japanese people are very depressed and want to take revenge on the Tang Dynasty. ”

After getting the truth, Fang Yiai said angrily: "The little Wa Kingdom has repeatedly teased his beard on the face of our Tang Dynasty, and this time, he is even more vain trying to assassinate the Emperor Taishang and the King of Freedom." Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it's time for our Datang army to go out once! Otherwise, those foreigners who clamped their tails didn't know what a terrible thing our Datang's anger was! ”

Although he really wanted to send troops, thinking of the report of the household department, Li Chengqian couldn't help but hesitate.

Yongan not only took over the remaining projects of Zhenguan, but also added a few more. Nowadays, even the grassland and the Western Regions Road have train lines laid. With so many projects, it was not an ordinary burden for the imperial court.

Sending troops means spending money, but now is the year later, and it is the time when the economy of the country is weak. If you want to talk about war preparations, there are indeed them, but when he thought that war preparations should be used on a small country like the Japanese State, Li Chengqian felt a little unwilling.

Tang Jin and Leng Jing are not there, and Cheng Chusi can be regarded as a more talkative person in the group of generals.

After leaving the shift, Cheng Chuhei said: "Your Majesty, now that Silla Baekje occupies the northern part of the island, it is almost impossible to borrow from them if you want to send troops to the Wa Kingdom, so you can only send the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet to the islands of the Wa Kingdom by sea. The danger of landing operations, and expeditions without a foundation, may only be compensated for by gunpowder weapons. Therefore, I am afraid that this battle will be very expensive. ”

Li Chengqian nodded, although emotionally he wanted to send troops, but for the strength of the Tang Dynasty to send troops, as an emperor, he couldn't be emotional.

"That being the case...."

Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, Di Renjie stood up.

Now that Di Renjie has ascended to the position of prime minister, as soon as he stood up, Lin Chao suddenly stopped his next words.

Among the senior brothers, in terms of calmness and wit, Li Chengqian felt that no one could compare to Di Renjie, he had been watching from the sidelines before, but now he stood up, obviously having a countermeasure.

After the salute, Di Renjie said: "Your Majesty, since the world is rich and commercial taxes have become the main body of taxpayers, our army is dispatched, and there is no need to worry about grain and grass, as long as there is money, it is enough." It's just that if there are construction projects everywhere today, if you want to send troops, you have to use the strategic resources that the imperial court has prepared for a long time, does Your Majesty think this move is inappropriate? ”

Li Chengqian nodded: "That's right, although I am angry with what the Wa Kingdom did, but for the sake of the sudden events that the Tang Dynasty may face, I can't be willful." ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers immediately shouted in unison, "My Emperor Shengming".

After the voice stopped, Li Chengqian asked Di Renjie with a smile: "Di Qing must not just say these unnutritious words, does he have any plans?" ”

Di Renjie smiled and said: "It's not a strategy, it's just that junior brother, when I think of my master being assassinated, I am furious, how can I swallow this breath like this?" There is a slight surplus in the junior family, so it is better to contribute to this expedition! Since the Japanese kingdom is so rampant, it is necessary to be prepared to meet the extermination of the race. Weichen felt that it would be very good to send troops to the end of the country this time. ”

Hearing Di Renjie's words, Fang Yiai couldn't help but moan in his heart.

Damn it! How could the Di family support a single dispatch! When this guy said this, he clearly wanted to pull the courtiers up!
