Chapter 24: King Qin's main battle
Upon hearing the news, Chen Feng realized that their opportunity had come. Almost trotted to the study to find Li Shimin, waiting for the guards guarding the door, and only after getting permission did Chen Feng enter the study.
"Your Highness is overjoyed!"
Li Shimin has already discovered that Chen Feng can speak well, and bad can also be said to be good, but this person is also calm and calm, if it weren't for the real joy, he would definitely not be so happy. Thinking of this, Li Shimin asked: "I don't know where the joy comes from, please say it clearly." β
"The Turks have invaded our border." Chen Feng didn't sell it, and said directly, in recent days, because the deadline for leaving for Luoyang is getting closer and closer, Li Shimin's mood is really bad, and he doesn't pay attention to the news from the outside world, otherwise it will definitely not be the news he already knows, Li Shimin has not yet known.
"How can it be considered a happy event when the enemy army is attacking and the lives are ruined?" Puzzled and questioning eyes were juxtaposed on Li Shimin's face.
Seeing Li Shimin's expression, Chen Feng knew in his heart that if he couldn't convince Li Shimin today, then the image he had created in Li Shimin's heart with great difficulty in recent days would collapse in an instant, and Li Shimin would definitely not give him the next chance to re-conspire, but Chen Feng was not in a hurry.
"Your Highness, listen to me." Chen Feng's soft eyes reassured Li Shimin, "The crown prince proposed to move the capital in public at the Jinluan Palace, but His Majesty did not agree on the spot, which means that His Majesty does not agree with this." β
I have to say that Li Jiancheng miscalculated by making such a suggestion, although Li Tang pays attention to the state of etiquette, but it is also really a country on horseback, when Li Yuan raised troops against the Sui Dynasty, there was one
Today's Tang Dynasty is prosperous. If it weren't for a bloody man, where would he have such the courage to become a benevolent person if he didn't succeed.
Li Jiancheng's mistake was that he speculated about his father, the emperor, a man of civil and martial arts, with the mind of a civil official seeking stability. And Li Jiancheng is not in his position after all, but Li Yuan has been an emperor for nearly ten years and knows the way to be a king.
Since ancient times, all dynasties, if there is no way to do anything, there has never been a precedent for moving the capital for no reason, at this time, if he Datang moved the capital because of the invasion of the Turks, doesn't it show that the Tang Dynasty is afraid of the Turkic iron horse, if the Turks have such an idea, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and they are afraid that they will laugh and be generous.
Chen Feng has studied the history of nearly 30 years, and has published papers on the thoughts of the emperors of previous dynasties, so he has a better understanding of the history of the Tang Dynasty, and has also studied Li Yuan's thoughts and even Li Shimin's thoughts more thoroughly.
Li Yuan is old-fashioned and ruthless, but when it comes to the former queen, he will be a little indecisive.
Li Jiancheng is conservative and sticks to the rules, although he is ruthless, but he does not want to change, if it were not for Li Yuan to protect his eldest son, I am afraid that this prince will die in the hands of Li Yuanji even if he does not die in the hands of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin attaches great importance to love and righteousness, is outspoken and kind, and occasionally ruthless. As the king of Qin, he was occasionally indecisive and often undecided, and this problem improved slightly after he inherited the throne, but it was not completely changed.
Li Yuanji is ruthless, greedy and violent, and seems to follow the prince, but he also has some thoughts in his heart.
When he heard about the Turkic invasion, Chen Feng had already keenly discovered that he had an absolute opportunity, so he hurriedly came to find Li Shimin.
After Li Shimin listened to Chen Feng's opinion, he groaned a little and said, "Mr. wants me to fight the main battle?" β
"Your Highness is wise."
"Sir has said this, if you still can't guess it, will Sir continue to follow this king? Mr. Sui, don't be flattering. It was rare that Li Shimin was in a good mood and said a witty remark.
Chen Feng smiled, Quan Dang didn't hear Li Shimin's words, and continued, "If the expectation is good, tomorrow morning, this matter will definitely be put on the agenda again, so it will be hard for His Highness to go to court tomorrow morning." β
"It's a matter of duty, why do you have to say that it's hard, but it's the real hard work when Mr. is doing his best for something."
Early the next morning, the King of Qin went to the early dynasty, according to Wei Chigong, when the prince saw Li Shimin's face changed instantly, probably at that time he had already realized that Li Shimin was going to stir up the situation, of course, he expected it to be good, the reason why His Royal Highness the King of Qin dragged his sick body to the court was to disturb his situation.
Sure enough, as Chen Feng expected, there was only one thing discussed in the early court today, that is, how to retreat from the enemy.
Li Jiancheng still held the view of moving the capital, and insisted on moving the capital to allow the Turks to retreat.
When the crown prince Li Jiancheng spoke, Li Shimin was also paying attention to the expression of the current saint Li Yuan, although Chen Feng had thoroughly analyzed Li Yuan's thoughts, but Chen Feng had never seen Li Yuan in the end, and there was no intersection with the current saint, and all inferences were all based on speculation.
After careful observation, it was found that their father, the emperor, not only did not approve of the move of the capital, but also seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Li Jiancheng, who put forward this opinion.
"Enlighten the father, the son and the prince have different views." As soon as the prince's words were finished, Li Shimin opened his mouth to refute.
Li Yuan was not surprised to glance at the second son he had seen for the first time since the banquet with the prince, as early as before the early dynasty, when he saw Li Shimin coming to the court, he had already guessed what Li Shimin meant, not just Li Shimin's meaning, but the meaning of the military generals in the court.
Sure enough, as soon as the crown prince finished playing, King Qin immediately came out of the ranks, and seeing this, Li Yuan said two words lightly, "quasi-play".
"Rong Di's troubles, since ancient times, my father has always been wise and martial, I have millions of elite soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, invincible, if you move the capital to take refuge because of the Turkic invasion, isn't it ridiculous and generous?"
"Moreover, the people of Rong Di are greedy and excessive, and if this matter prevails, they will definitely not retreat safely, if the Turks take advantage of the victory to pursue, what should they do?" This sentence was asked to Prince Li Jiancheng, "Don't you want to continue to move the capital and be chased and beaten by the Turks?" The capital has always been prosperous, and it has abandoned one to have its own next? Does the prince want me to emulate the nomads and wander around? β
When the words fell, Li Shimin also retreated to the front of the military attachΓ©, unmoved, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed that the person who did not give an inch between the words just now was actually this King of Qin.
Li Yuan also looked at Li Jiancheng, "I don't know what the prince thinks?" "This is to ask Li Jiancheng again, the question raised by King Qin is suitable, and he has a solution.
Li Jiancheng could only be silent, he naturally knew that the questions raised by Li Shimin would not happen, but this matter could not be told a secret from outsiders, otherwise how would he answer? Do you want to tell the truth? Say that the Turks are attacking because they have already reached a consensus with him? That's really looking for death.
