Li Shimin couldn't help but applaud Zhang Liang: "Xun Guogong is really a scholar for three days, you should be impressed, your strategy is very good!"

was praised by the emperor, and Zhang Liang was extremely proud.

The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said: "Your Majesty, although this strategy is amazing, the most fundamental problem now is that our Datang treasury is not capable of continuing to support the war. After the strategy is set, if it is not implemented for a long time, it will inevitably change, so Weichen thinks, is it necessary to grit his teeth and send troops now? ”

"Troops now?"

After listening to the proposal of the eldest grandson Wuji, everyone was silent.

Sending troops to the three kingdoms of Goryeo Silla and Baekje is not a small war, especially at this juncture, it is not a simple grit of teeth to start a war.

After all, there is no money in the treasury!

Li Shimin thought for a long time before he said with difficulty: "Now the Turks and half of the land in the Western Regions alone are enough to make the Tang Dynasty anxious, not to mention the large land in the northeast." In a short time, it is enough to settle these lands first. That little place in Goryeo can be taken at any time, so let them run rampant for a while! ”

When the newly harvested land is large enough, the Goryeo Silla Baekje is a big egg, and it will be tasteless.

Li Jing also said: "If we don't fight, our Datang army also needs to be rectified." When the Tang Dynasty's army is reorganized, the projectile land on the Goryeo side can also be used for military training, and let them exert their residual heat. ”

When the generals were deliberating, Li Jing's opinion was basically the opinion of everyone in the entire military.

Anyway, Goryeo can't bounce for long, just clean it up after a while.

The last one to stand up was Feng An, and this time he was also called back to Chang'an in advance.

"The sea power of the Great Cannibal is not to be feared, and only the fleet of Lingnan can fight against it. However, Weichen still thinks that our Datang's territorial waters should be moved south, and the border line cannot be trapped on land! ”

Li Jing said loudly: "The South China Sea is not much calmer than the East China Sea, if you move the border to the south, then there will be another war, which will have a great impact, not to mention, what else can you do in the vast sea, except for fishing?" ”

Li Shimin also said: "I also think that the South China Sea is of little value, as long as the southern coastal coastline is guarded, it is good." ”

"I don't see it that way..."

Leng Feng stood up, looked around and said, "The South China Sea is very valuable, although you can't see anything now, but in a few hundred years, the South China Sea will definitely be a treasure land. Now if we don't firmly grasp the South China Sea, the descendants of the next generation will spit on us! ”

Fang Xuanling was surprised: "The South China Sea is a treasure land? Protector, can you make this clear? What treasures are there in the South China Sea? ”

Leng Feng shrugged: "You don't understand it, anyway, if you believe me, the South China Sea can't be lost." The savages on the Malaysian side don't even have serious sea vessels, so even if we take over the South China Sea, we don't need to invest much.

What's more, the big cannibals are anxious about the Turkic Western Regions, and they don't have time to pay attention to us. ”

Listening to Leng Feng's words, Fang Xuanling was not annoyed, he knew that Leng Feng had a lot of knowledge, which was not something he could imagine, and expressing his opinions on things he didn't understand was something that a wise man would do.

Seeing that Leng Feng admired the South China Sea so much, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that the South China Sea is really a good place?" ”

Leng Feng nodded: "That's natural." ”

A good place, Li Shimin will never give it up easily!

"Feng An, then you take down the South China Sea, anyone who invades the South China Sea will be regarded as a provocation to our Datang!"

Feng Ang received the order and immediately retreated to the team.

Now it's close to noon, and even though it's a big pilgrimage, the meal still has to be eaten.

Li Shimin said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you still have this music?" If not, we should go downstairs and have a good meal. ”

Hearing the emperor's words, all the officials laughed.

At the end of the Great Dynasty Meeting, Qianniu Wei took over the Tianxia Tower and the surrounding streets in one step before the emperor and the hundred officials.

Lao Yuan's son, Xiao Yuan, is also a brave man, and when he saw so many Qianniuwei surrounding the Tianxia Tower, he knew that the emperor was coming.

The guests were helpless, and when they heard that the emperor was coming to charter the venue, they had to leave the table. Xiao Yuan went room by room to comfort the guests and promised to be free of charge.

The world is not short of these money, but I am afraid that the reputation will be damaged, and the emperor will temporarily charter the venue, and these losses cannot be borne by the guests.

After the clearance, in less than a pillar of incense, hundreds of civil and military officials came to the Tianxia Tower in a carriage in twos and threes.

The hall on the first floor is very spacious, enough to entertain hundreds of officials, and there is no need for a cubicle.

The Emperor walked into the hall and took the northern seat without hesitation.

"Master, why are there so many officials? Even His Majesty is here? ”

Xiao Yuan was a little nervous when he received the emperor in person for the first time, and after seeing Leng Feng, he hurriedly asked his master to share the pressure.

Leng Feng patted Xiao Yuan's shoulder: "A little confident, the shopkeeper downstairs in the world, is it unsightly?" Our little son has been knighted, no, they are all here to eat and drink. You will choose the expensive ones when you serve them, and the civil officials will give more vegetarian dishes and less meat dishes; On the military general's side, you serve more meat dishes and less vegetarian dishes. The wine made them drink openly. ”

Xiao Yuan nodded, since it was his own little son's knighthood banquet, he had to do it in a big way.

The chef downstairs was very efficient, and it didn't take long for the food to be served.

On Li Shimin's table, the first dish on the table was still meatballs.

Looking at a small pot of meatballs, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't want to eat meatballs for a few days, okay, the cook who went downstairs this day thought that I would only eat meatballs!" ”

Despite what he said, Li Shimin still quickly put down his chopsticks and ate it.

The dishes were served one by one, the wine jar was opened, Leng Feng, Li Jing, and Li Xiaogong went to the tables everywhere to toast, how to say that this is a knighthood banquet, and the three of them have to entertain their colleagues.

After a round of toasting, Leng Feng returned to Li Shimin and sat down.

Li Shimin also drank some wine, his face was a little red, and when he saw Leng Feng coming back, he said to him: "Leng Feng, I have been thinking about it for the past few years, should I build a Lingyan Pavilion and hang portraits of the heroes of the Tang Dynasty to commend their merits?" ”

Fang Xuanling was on the other side of Li Shimin, and after hearing the emperor's words, Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "The minister is worried about the king and dies, and the king thinks about it, which is very good!" Your Majesty and I are affectionate and righteous, and we will be remembered for eternity. ”

"Lingyan Pavilion.... It's nice to build one. ”

Leng Feng nodded, Lingyan Pavilion, speaking of which, is the Zhenguan Heroes Memorial Hall, but it is just a portrait.

Seeing that Leng Feng also felt good, Li Shimin suddenly became excited: "Okay, then when the matter of dividing the new land in the Turkic Western Regions is over, I will order the construction of Lingyan Pavilion." ”
