Chapter 112: Haochen Makes Suggestions
Li Haochen cautiously turned out two letters, the fire paint on them had been picked open, obviously Li Jiancheng had read the contents of the letters. Li Haochen opened one of the letters, looked at it carefully, he opened the letter, and saw that it was written, "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the minister Turkic Jieli Khan is headed, and the minister is far away on the frontier and wishes His Majesty all blessings and peace!" The letter roughly means ......that Jieli Khan said that the Turki Khan rebelled and wanted to wave his troops south to invade, and after he heard about it, he sent troops to block and intercept the Turki army on the front line of Yanshan, but Jieli said that he had few generals and might not be able to defeat the Turkish army, and he wanted the Tang Dynasty to also send troops to Yanshan to block the Turkish, and the two sides reasonably encircled and suppressed the Turkish army.
Li Haochen finished reading the letter, but frowned, and didn't say anything, but immediately opened another letter, after he opened the letter, he saw the book on it, "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the minister Turkic Turkic Khan is headed, and the minister is far away on the frontier and wishes His Majesty all blessings and peace!" The general meaning of the letter ...... "Jieli Khan attacked his tribe, he hurriedly responded to the battle, was defeated for a while, and wanted to lead the people to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and serve the Tang Emperor as the Heavenly Khan. But he hoped that after receiving his letter, Datang would send troops to the front line of Yanshan, firstly to meet his remnants, and secondly, to avenge him.
Li Haochen finished reading the two letters accusing each other, and smiled at Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Majesty, the minister already knows the truth, I don't know if Your Majesty has any pending matters?" The minister is willing to share the worries of His Majesty! ”
Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Haochen, I know that I can't hide anything from you, I really have some trouble sleeping after receiving these two letters!" I don't know which of them is true and who is false! It's a bit hard to make a decision for a while. The ministers in the court can't believe it, and they don't feel at ease, they all have family forces behind them, and they all think about their own interests first when they encounter things, and few people think about me first. ”
Li Haochen didn't answer Li Jiancheng's words first, but asked thoughtfully, "Prime Minister Wei Cheng is a minister of His Majesty's Hidden Mansion, and there is no family power behind him, why doesn't Your Majesty ask?" ”
When Li Jiancheng heard this, he sighed and said, "Aiqing, I don't hide it from you, after I received these two letters, I went to Mr. Xuan Cheng as soon as possible, but Xuan Cheng said that he was inferior to you in foreign affairs, and he didn't have your vision and pattern, so let me ask you first." ”
After Li Haochen listened to Li Jiancheng's words, he secretly scolded Wei Zheng in his heart for being an old fox, such a sensitive issue was actually kicked to himself like kicking a ball, to be honest, it was indeed difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood with only two letters. Although this matter seems to be a bit tricky, Li Haochen already has an idea in his heart, and he can't shirk it, and he doesn't want to shirk it from his heart, so he raised his eyebrows slightly and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Wei Cheng's evaluation of the ministers is really embarrassing. Prime Minister Wei Cheng is a celebrity today, he must already have the answer in his heart, I am afraid that he deliberately gave the minister a chance to perform. The minister really won't let it! Saying that, Li Haochen paused and said, "Your Majesty just asked the minister, which of these two letters is true and which is false, and the minister does not dare to hide it from Your Majesty." According to the minister, judging from only two letters, it is difficult for the minister to distinguish the truth from the false. ”
As soon as Li Haochen finished saying this, he saw Li Jiancheng frowning, a look of disappointment, and his face was also very ugly, obviously very dissatisfied with his answer just now, Li Haochen saw this and hurriedly continued, "But if Your Majesty asks the minister, how should you deal with it now, the minister has three strategies in his heart for His Majesty to choose!" ”
As soon as Li Haochen's words were finished, Li Jiancheng's face, which was still cloudy just now, turned cloudy and sunny in an instant, revealing a warm smile, and said in a voice with some surprise, "Upper, middle and lower?" Haochen, don't sell it, tell me about your three strategies! Li Jiancheng was a little excited, and unconsciously paced back and forth in the room, I am afraid that he could jump up without caring about the identity of the emperor.
Li Haochen also understood that Li Jiancheng was annoyed by this matter, so he hurriedly said what he thought in his heart: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister's best policy is to send a large army out of the front line of Yanshan to block the enemy from the country, no matter who is right and who is wrong on both sides, directly take advantage of the Turkic civil strife to win over and divide, and annihilate the living forces of the Turks in one fell swoop, so as to prevent future troubles." After Li Haochen finished speaking, he looked at Li Jiancheng's face with a very solemn expression, in order to let Li Jiancheng digest what he had just said, he did not continue to speak from the luxury car, but waited until Li Jiancheng raised his eyes to look at him and motioned for him to continue, and then he spoke again, "The minister's middle strategy is to immediately send a person who can fight well as a commander, and display heavy troops on the front line of Yanshan, but he will not act, because didn't the Tuli Khan and the Jieli Khan both let me send troops to Yanshan?" Then we will send troops first, and after sending troops, we will summon the two khans respectively in the name of His Majesty, listen to their words, watch their deeds, who is right and who is wrong, and it is not difficult to distinguish between the ministers and the ministers at that time. Then destroy that guy with ulterior motives with a large army, so that the situation can be stabilized in one battle! At the same time, it has also achieved my name as the righteous teacher of the Tang Dynasty! ”
After Li Haochen finished speaking, he forgot to glance at Li Jiancheng's expression again, and saw Li Jiancheng nodding thoughtfully, it seemed that he was more satisfied with this method.
However, seeing that Li Jiancheng immediately showed a look of expectation, obviously letting him continue, Li Haochen did not hesitate and continued, "This strategy is to wait and see, no matter who is right and who is wrong between Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan, there must be a battle between them, it is inevitable, Your Majesty can wait for them to divide the victory and defeat, and send envoys to appease the victorious side after Chen soldiers are on the front line of Yanshan." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Haochen deliberately paused for a moment, and then continued, "Your Majesty, the above are the three strategies of the minister. The ministers are shallow in their learning, and they have an axe in front of His Majesty, and they ask Your Majesty to forgive their sins. As for how to decide, please ask Your Majesty to judge! ”
In the presence of any king, whether you are brilliant or unlearned, the necessary humility and prudence are necessary. In his previous life, as a top student in the history department, Li Haochen naturally knew this well.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Haochen finished speaking, Li Jiancheng had a smile on his face, and praised Li Haochen without hesitation: "Aiqing's remarks are very heartfelt, and he is worthy of being my humerus minister, I really didn't misunderstand you!" ”
After Li Jiancheng finished speaking, he paused slightly, then looked at Li Haochen with blazing eyes and asked, "Aiqing thinks that I should choose Aiqing's strategy?" ”
