Li Xian was about to come out like this, and the ministers were surprised when they landed, not because they doubted Li Xian's martial arts ability, but because they were surprised by the contrast between Li Xian's attitudes before and after - in the past few days, when the prince presided over the proceedings, Li Xian always said a word when Xu Shu entered Cao Ying, even if the prince asked again and again, Li Xian never said a word, and he was not concerned with his own high hanging attitude, but he suddenly stood up and shouted for war, which was really abrupt, and the ministers couldn't help but be stunned.

The reason why the ministers were surprised Li Xian knew it, but he didn't care, of course, Li Xian didn't do it on purpose, but had to say it in one sentence - in order to get the position of the governor of Hexi, Li Xian must obtain Pei Xingjian's support, in fact, these days, Li Xian is quiet on the surface, but secretly he is doing Pei Xingjian's ideological work, not for anything else, just because Pei Xingjian has a very strong voice in military strategy, and the four towns of Anxi are all Pei Xingjian's former subordinates, if Li Xian guards Hexi this time, It is necessary to cooperate with the various departments of Anxi, not only Li Jinxing, who has been in Li Xian's control, but also the Ashina Daozhen road, if not, it is difficult to resist the full attack of the Tubo people with the existing forces in Hexi, even if Li Xian goes, it is the same, after all, the disparity between the forces of the two sides is really too great, and furthermore, Hexi has never set up a governor's mansion, and if Li Xian wants to take over the military and political power in Hexi, it must also be proposed by Pei Xingjian, the left minister, before the name is justified, for this reason, Li Xian has not spent much effort, not only sent Di Renjie, an absolute confidant, to negotiate, but also secretly visited Pei's mansion several times in private, repeatedly stating strategies and tactics and contingencies, and finally made Pei Xingjian nod, which will have the previous scene of Pei Xingjian asking himself to take command.

"Father Emperor Mingjian, it is not good for the seventh brother to have this heart, however, first, the soldiers are dangerous and dangerous, if there is a slight mistake, it will be very unfavorable to the community, and secondly, this war is not trivial, all kinds of things are entangled, and there must be an old and stable person to take the lead, so as to ensure that there is no danger, the son thinks that Pei Xiangjiu is at the border and is familiar with military strategy, so he should be the best candidate."

Li Xian's most fearful person at the moment is not the Empress Wu, but Li Xian, what he is afraid of is that Li Xian has the heart to seize his crown prince, he doesn't want Li Xian to have the slightest chance to make contributions, let alone see Li Xian's triumphant situation, although he was surprised to see all the ministers, but no one stood up to oppose it, Li Xian couldn't sit still, and before Gaozong made a statement, Huo Erqi got up, bowed to Gaozong, and proposed politely.

Oh, this guy is really the most unbearable, small-bellied chicken intestines! For this imperial discussion, Li Xian has done enough homework, and the possible reactions of all parties have already been repeatedly deduced many times, and he has long known about Li Xian's actions, even so, Li Xian still couldn't help but despise him fiercely in his heart, but he didn't rush to refute, but stood quietly, and listened to the posture of Gaozong's holy judgment.

"Hmm......"

For Li Xian's ability, Gaozong is trustworthy, after all, there is a great victory in the previous assault Tuyuhun, but Gaozong is not very reluctant to Li Xian to take command again, not because he is afraid that Li Xian will have a bad heart, but from the psychology of a father to protect his calf, in his heart, he is not very willing Li Xian to take the risk of war again, he wants to agree with Li Xian's words, but he does not want to refute Li Xian's face in public, and he hesitates for a while and does not know how to decide.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Hexi is the important place of my dynasty, and there is no room for loss, otherwise, the erosion of the Western Regions is a trivial matter, and the loss of the pass is the root of the society, and now, the thief is coming, if the discussion is not made for a long time, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of delaying the fighter, the old minister implores His Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible!" Gaozong muttered for a long time and didn't have a word, and the prime ministers standing next to him didn't dare to urge at will, but Kele Yanwei didn't have this scruples, and flashed out from the side and admonished in a loud voice.

"This is natural, well, who does Le Aiqing think can take on this heavy responsibility?"

Gaozong was still hesitating in his heart, but he was forced by Le Yanwei like this, but he couldn't be silent anymore, so he brushed off the long beard on his chest and simply asked Le Yanwei.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the old minister thinks that this Hexi war is not only in the war, but more in the strategy, first hold firmly and then can think of breaking the enemy, although I am full of talents, however, according to the old minister, can take on this heavy responsibility, there are no more than three, Pei Xiang is the first choice, Liu Xiang is the second, and then only His Royal Highness the King of England has this responsibility, in addition, there is no other excellent candidate, as for who is the governor of Hexi, only please Your Majesty Holy Judgment!"

Le Yanwei also came prepared, and in the past few days, he had already discussed with Li Xian how to deal with it, and when he heard Gaozong's question, he answered very quickly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to shepherd Hexi for Your Majesty, and I am willing to ask Your Majesty for permission!"

Although Liu Renliang is old, but the will to fight has always been very high, in the controversy of the past few days, his old man has always been the core figure of the main battle faction, at this time, as soon as he heard that Le Yanwei ranked himself in the second place, he came to the spirit, regardless of the ground, he stood up, and asked for his life.

"Father, do you know if you should play a word?"

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Li Xian would not remain silent any longer, so he bowed down and said.

"Oh? Xian'er has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I just listen to it. ”

For Liu Renliang, the old minister, although Gaozong can't talk about how much he is favored, but he knows that he has both humanities and martial arts, and is a great talent today, although he is old, but his spirit is excellent, he originally saw that he invited himself to go on the expedition, but he was also quite moved, after all, this old man has a successful case of Liaodong, with his words to guard the west of the river, Gaozong can rest assured, and is about to approve his request, but Li Xian was so interrupted, he had to put back the words that had come to his mouth, and after a deep groan, he raised his hand to Li Xian Xuxu, Gently commanded.

"Xie Father Emperor Longen, the son thinks that the Jingluo Hexi is a long-term thing, not an overnight achievement, Pei Xiang is the left minister, the head of the courtiers, the leader of the army to fight in the short term is not hindered, the long is not appropriate, Liu Xiang is a great talent, there are few people in the world who resist, with its Jinglu Hexi, it is indeed a suitable candidate, however, the age is not forgiving, even if Liu Xiang's spirit is shining, after all, it is too old, with such a complicated heavy task, the son of the minister steals that it is not lenient, it is not the benevolent monarch who is happy to do, is therefore, the son of the minister invited this heavy burden, willing to guard the western frontier for his father, not to destroy Tibet, Vow not to return to the dynasty! ”

After Li Xian bowed down and thanked him, he first analyzed the root cause why Pei and Liu were not suitable to go to Hexi, and then made an impassioned wish, and the spirit of who else was overflowing.

"Seventh brother, this is a matter of the Imperial Palace, not a casual one, be cautious, be cautious!"

As soon as he heard Li Xian's request to guard Hexi, Li Xian's eyes immediately lit up, thinking that he had seized a great opportunity to drive Li Xian out of the court, and without waiting for Gaozong to speak, he had already interjected a sentence from the side, which seemed to be persuading Li Xian not to guard Hexi, but in fact he was forcing Li Xian to speak more to death.

There are very few people who are so ungrateful as you are, and it is really difficult to raise villains and women! Li Xian is a shrewd individual, how can he hide Li Xian's eyes from Li Xian if he is so careful, but he doesn't bother to worry about him, he just despises Li Xian in his heart, but he pretends to be angry on his face and says: "Thank you Brother Prince for mentioning it, since the younger brother dares to speak, he dares to be, if the elder brother of the prince does not believe it, the younger brother is willing to make a military order, and if he does not break the Tibetan and return to the court!" ”

"The seventh brother is full of pride, and he is far from being a brother!" Li Xian pretended to sigh, and then, Huo Ran turned around, bowed to Gaozong, and reported loudly: "Father, the seventh brother has always been talented, and he has this grand wish, and the sons and daughters think that it will be perfect, and I implore the father and the emperor for permission!" ”

"Well, what does Pei Xiang mean?"

Gaozong was obviously still reluctant to let Li Xian suffer from the military disaster, so he said noncommittally, and didn't care about Li Xian's request, looked sideways at Pei Xingjian, who had retreated to the side, and asked indifferently, which seemed to mean that Pei Xingjian volunteered last time.

"Your Majesty, on the way of scripture and strategy, the minister asks no less than others, however, compared to His Royal Highness the King of England, the old minister does not dare to win, if Hexi is guarded by His Royal Highness the King, there will be no obstacles!"

Pei Xingjian himself is also a warlike person, if it was in the past, he would definitely ask himself to go out according to Gaozong's intentions, however, in the past few days, after talking with Li Xian in detail a few times, Pei Xingjian has been impressed by Li Xian's talent, and they are actually the same ancestor between each other, and they are all inherited from the military strategy of Wei Gong's lineage, with such a layer of incense, Pei Xingjian is willing to sell Li Xian a face, of course, these are not the main reasons, the most hidden reason is - among the three sons of Gaozong, Pei Xingjian is only optimistic about Li Xian alone, and this is the most fundamental reason why Pei Xingjian is willing to help Li Xian.

"Mei Niang, look at this matter......"

Gaozong obviously didn't expect Pei Xingjian to be so inconsiderate, and he was a little displeased, but it was not good to attack Pei Xingjian, so he had to turn his head to look at Empress Wu, who was always silent, and asked tentatively.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is not good at military affairs, so you should ask the eighth uncle about this matter."

For Li Xian's intention to go out of the town of Hexi, Empress Wu saw some signs, but for a while and a half, he couldn't weigh whether it was better to agree or oppose - for Li Xian's ability, Empress Wu has always been quite jealous, and what is even more jealous is Li Xian's political skills and black belly, like the prince, she doesn't want Li Xian to stay in the court for a long time, the reason why she found a breakthrough from Li Xulun was to have a reason to drive Li Xian out of the court, of course, Empress Wu's original intention was to find a corner Zhongzhou away from the court, Sent Li Xian away, but never wanted Li Xian to grasp the local power, obviously, although the land of Hexi is poor but large, and does not meet the thoughts of the Empress Wu, the problem is that if Li Xian's request is refused, it is not so easy to drive Li Xian out of the court, it is precisely because of such a contradictory psychology that the Empress Wu does not intend to express his position easily, but kicks the ball to the feet of King Yue......
