Chapter 9: I Want to Be Emperor

"King Yun, what can he do?"

The eyes of everyone fell on this young man, and they all showed disdainful expressions, Rao is a talent of strategists such as Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui, and it is difficult to solve this crisis, how can a mere young man do it?

"Lord Fang, now that the Turkic army is pressing the border, the situation is critical, but you can't be extremely sloppy, how can you hand over the fate of Chang'an to Li Yun?"

The speaker is the eldest grandson Wuji.

Since Li Yun broke Li Chengqian's leg, he has formed a hatred with the eldest grandson's family, after all, the eldest grandson Wuji is Li Chengqian's uncle, at this time, he will naturally fall into the ground.

"What Lord Eldest Sun said is extremely true, it is a matter of national fortune, is it too child's play to hand it over to Li Yun alone?" Hou Junji echoed.

"Yes, not to mention Li Yun's ability, have you forgotten what he is called?" The eldest grandson Wuji took advantage of the situation and said, "Heavenly Evil Lone Star! It is a great luck that he did not make trouble, and I seriously suspect that the Turkic soldiers came to Chang'an this time because of a disaster like him. ”

Li Yunren is called "Tiansha Lone Star", many people don't like him, and the eldest grandson Wuji put the guilt on his head at this time, which made everyone's disgust with him increase a few points.

"Why did Lord Eldest Sun say this? The Turkic soldiers are in Weishui, which is the work of the Taiyuan royal family, why do they complain about the king of Yun? Fang Xuanling stood up and retorted.

Seeing that Fang Xuanling defended King Yun, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't want to say anything more, so as not to make Li Shimin unhappy, even if Li Shimin didn't like Li Yun, he was the heir of King Tang after all.

However, this matter is no longer mentioned, but the eldest grandson Wuji will never let him go, and said: "Lord Fang, Li Yun is just a young man, what can he do?" ”

"This is a mistake, Gan Luo is twelve years old to worship the prime minister, Cao Chong is six years old and says all these things, how can the eldest grandson say that the young man is not as good as me?"

The eldest grandson Wuji waved his sleeves and said: "The generations of Gan Luo and Cao Chong are rare geniuses in the world, and they are not the same, but how can Li Yun's people be compared with them?" ”

"If Li Yun can retreat from the enemy, my eldest grandson Wuji will kneel down in front of His Majesty and his colleagues and kowtow to him three times."

Hearing that Uncle Guo was like this, many people followed suit, and there were all voices of opposition.

It's no wonder that at such a critical moment, it is strange to pin your hopes on a teenager instead of questioning it.

At this moment, Li Shimin saw that many people were singing against the tune and singing high-pitched, in short, the court was noisy.

On weekdays, Li Shimin not only felt angry, but would feel happy, the courtiers talked about it, it was the work of Mingjun, but now, the soldiers are pressing, and Chang'an is in danger, they are still chattering, and they can't help but make people annoyed.

"Stop arguing! I want you to think of a strategy to retreat from the enemy, but I don't mean who can do it or not, since you think Li Yun can't do it, then you recommend one? I know that the quarrel will not stop, and if the quarrel can be solved, I will let them scold for three days and three nights. Li Shimin said angrily.

Seeing the anger of King Tang, the officials were immediately silent and fell into silence.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Li Shimin was even more angry, it was powerful to do this kind of thing, but no one could come in handy when it came to doing the right thing.

Since there is no one available, Li Shimin also has to set his eyes on Li Yun, he still knows Fang Xuanling well, if Li Yun has no real ability, he will definitely not recommend him.

"Cloud King!"

"The son is here."

Li Yun took a step forward and performed the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.

"Fang Xuanling strongly recommends you, now that the Turkic army of 200,000 is lined up on the north bank of Weishui, can you be sure to retreat from the enemy?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Yun didn't answer in a hurry, but secretly looked at Fang Xuanling from the corner of his eye, but when he saw Fang Xuanling nodding slightly, he cast a resolute expression.

Subsequently, I only heard Li Yun say sonorously and resolutely: "Erchen is sure to retreat from the enemy." ”

"King Yun, now it's a child's house, it's a matter of the Tang Dynasty's national fortunes, but it's not a joke, I ask you again, can you use your confidence to retreat from the enemy?" Li Shimin asked again.

And Li Yun also said very firmly: "Father, the son of the emperor has made a military order here, if you can't retreat from the enemy, you are willing to come to see you." ”

Originally, the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to say something cool, but Li Yun made a military order, so he didn't say anything more, since he was looking for death himself, he couldn't blame others.

Li Shimin looked at him solemnly and shouted, "Good! I will believe you once. ”

"Thank you, Father."

Then, Li Shimin asked again: "I see that you are confident, but what is the best way to retreat from the enemy?" ”

But seeing Li Yun smile and said, "Is it a good policy, but it is still unknown?" However, it is a good strategy. ”

"Oh? So you want to hear it? ”

Li Yun shook his head and said: "This method is said now, but it won't work, my father just needs to watch from the wall and watch the performance of his son." ”

The wall has ears, Li Yun doesn't dare to go to the court without Jieli Khan's people, if so, it really doesn't work.

Seeing that Li Yun deliberately did this, it made Li Shimin even more curious, I don't know what medicine was sold in his gourd, just when Li Shimin was suspicious, Li Yun suddenly asked: "Dare to ask my father, I don't know how many troops are left in Chang'an City?" ”

"Except for the forbidden army in the imperial city, there are less than 10,000 troops stationed in the city."

With less than 10,000 people, how can he resist the 200,000 Turkic army, even Huo Qubing may not be able to do it back then.

To others, this is not hard news, but when Li Yun heard it, he was overjoyed: "There are enough 10,000 people, it is really God helping the Tang Dynasty, and Erchen is even more confident that the Turks will withdraw their troops." ”

Hearing this, many courtiers secretly pouted their lips and disdained, really regarded themselves as the god of war, and with 10,000 people, they wanted to fight against the Turkic army of 200,000? It's just a dream.

And Li Yun didn't care about the cold eyes and disdain of others, but said since ancient times: "Father, the son of the emperor petitioned to mobilize these 10,000 people for the deployment of the son, please ask the father and the emperor to agree?" ”

Li Shimin has always been suspicious of employing people, and he doesn't need to be suspicious, and said: "Okay! I will grant you the right to mobilize the army, and the safety of Chang'an will be entrusted to you. ”

"The sons and daughters will live up to expectations."

……

After the court dispersed, all the ministers dispersed, and Li Yun did not immediately start to dispatch troops, but waited for a person outside the Chengtian Gate in advance.

This person is none other than Fang Xuanling, who is defending himself in the court.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Fang Xuanling was left by Li Shimin to say something, so he came out late, walked to Chengtianmen, and saw that Li Yun was alone and waited for a long time, he seemed to have guessed Li Yun's intentions.

At this time, the subordinates of the Fang Mansion stepped forward and were broken up by Fang Xuanling, saying, "Wait until you go back to the house first, I have something important to talk to someone." ”

After the subordinates left, Fang Xuanling came to Li Yun and said, "If Your Highness wants to say thank you, just excuse me, I didn't save you for you, but to maintain the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Yun saw through it and said, "The adults have great benevolence, and the younger generations have learned it." ”

Fang Xuanling is a clear and upright person, and seeing it now, it is indeed true.

"My lord, you and I are both smart people, and you must have been clear about my intentions, so I can say it straight to the point." Li Yun said.

"Here?"

Fang Xuanling looked around and said: "The wall still has eyes and ears, not to mention on this street, why don't you find a tavern to sit down, how about you and I talk in detail?" ”

"I don't have money to drink." Li Yun also said politely, although he is the prince, he is shy in his pocket, and the food and clothing in the house are given by the palace on weekdays, and as for the money or something, he can't take it out at all.

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but shake his head: "Okay, okay, I'll invite you for this meal." ”

"If you are generous, then you are welcome." Li Yun was not polite and said directly.

After coming to the tavern, Li Yun said very boldly: "Boss, come two catties of roast mutton, one catty of sauce beef, and a jar of good daughter red." Listening to this tone, those who don't know think he's in for a treat.

After finding a private room, there were only two of them left in the room, eating mutton and drinking wine, how beautiful the days were.

After the dishes were served, the two of them also went straight to the point, and Li Yun said first: "Lord Fang, the younger generation has something unclear, please give advice." ”

"Tell me about it."

"Everyone in the world calls me a 'lone star', sneering at me and disdainful of me, but you are trying your best to defend me, don't say anything to defend Datang, these polite words are just for outsiders, I am not a three-year-old child."

Li Yun wanted to know what made Fang Xuanling, a person who had never participated in party struggle, choose himself.

"Do you really want to hear it?"

"If you don't want to hear it, what are we here for?"

Fang Xuanling laughed: "Yes." He straightened his clothes a little and said very seriously: "The reason why I defend you is because you are Le Yao's child." ”

"Mother? Do you know your mother? ”

"It's not just knowing, in fact, we are ......"

Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling sighed and didn't continue, he couldn't help but look out the window, his eyes were a little complicated, and Li Yun also saw some clues, but he didn't say anything.

"In short, you are the son of an old man, your mother is gone, how can I ignore her only son, even as an ordinary friend, I can't let it go."

Li Yun is not a fool, he has been a human being in two lives, which has made him understand many things, and some things can be understood in his heart.

"Got it."

Li Yun said, no wonder Fang Xuanling strongly recommended it, and even let himself be in the limelight at such a critical moment when the Turkic soldiers pressed the border, but Fang Xuanling didn't know that he was no longer his former self.

"Master Fang, why are you so sure that I have a way to retreat from the enemy?"

"Intuition."

"That's all?"

"Of course not, because you are Le Yao's son, you will definitely be able to do it." Fang Xuanling said.

Li Yun ate a piece of meat, took a sip of wine, and didn't ask questions, but asked, "Dare to ask my lord, what do you think I should do before retreating from the enemy?" ”

"It's very simple, create panic, so that the people of Chang'an feel that Datang is going to die, the greater the panic, the more grateful the people will be to you after you solve everything." Fang Xuanling said.

Li Yun showed an evil smile and said, "It is said that adults are clear in their hearts, but it turns out that adults are also black-bellied. ”

"Black or white, it's all for you."

"For me? Why? ”

Fang Xuanling looked out of the door, did not speak, but dipped his fingers in the wine, and wrote four words on the table: "Ninety-five Supreme".

Li Yun was stunned for a moment, staring at these four words, stunned for a long time, and after relieving himself, Li Yun asked very seriously: "Master Fang, are you willing to help me get this supreme position?" ”

Fang Xuanling didn't speak, but left his seat, walked in front of Li Yun, knelt down on his knees, and said, "Minister! Willing!! ”
