Chapter 322: A Threat from Li Er
Early the next morning, Li Yuanchang's chrysanthemum was blown up from the bright side to Jia Yi's ears, hearing the news Jia Yi laughed happily several times, but he also clearly knew that he would definitely be called into the palace for questioning, no matter how Li Yuanchang was also a relative of the emperor, and being assassinated in Chang'an City was definitely a very huge thing.
When Jia Yi appeared in the court, he found that Wei Zheng's face was so dark that he could condense water, Jia Yi knew very well that Wei Zheng must guess that it was his own hand, but in the absence of any evidence, even Wei Zheng couldn't just talk nonsense, when he saw Jia Yi, he wanted to speak several times and stopped, and finally swallowed everything he wanted to say into his stomach.
Qin Qiong came to Jia Yi's side and whispered to Jia Yi: "Boy, I don't see you in the court on weekdays, why did you come here today, didn't you do what happened last night?" ”
Even if everyone knows this kind of thing, they can't admit it, so Jia Yi directly shook his head into a rattle, and very decisively denied Qin Qiong's speculation.
Qin Qiong looked at Jia Yi suspiciously, but he really couldn't see any flaws on Jia Yi's face, and finally he could only say to Jia Yi: "No matter what you say, Li Yuanchang also deserves it, even if he doesn't do his job all day long, he still plays with face, he simply loses all the royal face, this time someone teaches him a lesson, it can be regarded as a breath for His Majesty." ”
Soon the voice of the court sounded, and the ministers lined up and entered the palace together, the ministers originally waited for a while before Li Er sat on the dragon chair, but today I don't know what's wrong, Li Er has already sat on the dragon chair, and his face is still very ugly, is it angry about Li Yuanchang's assassination?
Jia Yi, who really couldn't figure out what Li Er's heart was now, directly chose to be silent, and stood behind Qin Qiong honestly, letting Qin Qiong's majestic figure completely cover his small body.
"There are two things to discuss in the court today, the first is the assassination of Li Yuanchang, the king of Lu yesterday, so let's express your opinions."
"Your Majesty, although King Lu is a royal prince, he is extravagant all day long, and he loses face in the royal family, plus he is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, so he must have made a lot of enemies, so it is not an unusual thing for him to be stabbed, but this murderer must be strictly investigated and punished, so as to be the majesty of the royal family."
Cheng Yanjin stood up for the first time and expressed his opinion, although he said that he wanted to arrest and punish the assassin, but his words in the first half were clearly reminding the emperor, you shit brother, if you don't change the stinky problems on him, this kind of assassination may happen again in the future, although the assassination of the royal prince will damage the royal face, but if this kid does not change the bad problems on his own body first, there will be more things that damage the royal face in the future.
After Cheng Biting Jin finished speaking, no one stood up to Li Yuanchang, the king of Lu, to complain about grievances, it can be seen that he is really not very good on weekdays, Wei Zheng is still in a posture of wanting to speak and stopping, but in the end he still endured it, Wei Zheng has a straight temperament, but he is not a fool, otherwise it would be impossible to achieve the position of prime minister, and now that Li Yuanchang has fallen down the wall and everyone has pushed it, there is no need for him to become the target of public criticism for a broken wall.
Li Er saw that everyone was silent, his face did not change much, he muttered for a while, and led people to hurry up to find the assassin, once confirmed, he would not be spared, and then this matter was revealed so lightly.
Jia Yi didn't expect that things would end so easily, but being able to end so easily was the result he wanted to see the most, so he was still standing behind Qin Qiong and waiting to listen to Li Er's second topic.
"Dang Xiang and other tribes have defected from my Datang to Tuyuhun, what do you think should be done?"
As soon as Li Er's words came out, Jia Yi immediately understood why Li Er's face was so ugly, judging from Li Er's character, he allowed someone to integrate into his country, but he absolutely couldn't tolerate someone betraying his country, and now the party and other nationalities have openly betrayed the Tang Dynasty and joined Tuyuhun, which is simply a slap in the face of Li Er, how can it not make Li Er angry.
"The minister thinks that my Datang is now rich in national strength, but the soft government has been too long to make the surrounding countries forget the majesty of our Datang, at this time, the party and other clans have openly betrayed my Datang, Tuyuhun even dared to accept it directly, it is simply a provocation to the majesty of my Datang, and the minister thought that Tuyuhun should be sent out."
Li Daozong had just quelled a rebellious nation a few years ago, and now that he saw the rebellion again, he thought that this should be his business, so he stood up at the first time and asked for war.
As the head of the household, the eldest grandson Wuji is in charge of the use of the treasury, what is the situation of the treasury now, he knows best in his heart, and now he sees Li Daozong asking for war, that is to say, he will also talk about the situation of the treasury at that time, so that the emperor can make a judgment.
"Your Majesty, now that our treasury is full, we can indeed fight."
Jia Yi brought back a lot of things from Lingnan, so many that they could support the Tang Dynasty to fight many battles, but the population is the main reason that really restricts the entire Tang Dynasty now.
"Your Majesty, the prosperity of our dynasty has just begun, and the people are a good period of recuperation, if you talk lightly about the war, it will be like a thunderbolt in the sky for the people of our Tang Dynasty, which will inevitably cause panic in people's hearts, and it will be contrary to the long-term peace and stability of my Tang Dynasty, and the minister thinks that he should think twice before acting."
Fang Xuanling, a person with a very large amount of words, stood up, although Tuyuhun took over the party and other nationalities that defected from the Tang Dynasty, but Tuyuhun is far away on the grassland north of the desert, even if Tuyuhun is defeated, it is impossible to become the fertile grassland of the Tang Dynasty, which is really a waste of manpower and financial resources, so you still have to think about it.
All of a sudden, the voice of discussion in the court became louder and louder, some people supported Li Daozong, some people supported Fang Xuanling, what both sides said was very reasonable, for a while Li Er was also a little indecisive, seeing that it was not a matter to continue to quarrel like this, he simply announced the ebb tide, so that he could be quiet and quiet.
Just when everyone was slowly leaving, Li Er's eyes saw a person, that was Jia Yi, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he directly asked the eunuch to leave Jia Yi behind.
Jia Yi found a strange problem, as long as he went to the court, then after he retreated from the court, he would definitely be left behind by Li Er, and every time there was a matter that was not very easy to solve, it would be handed over to him to deal with.
"Your Majesty."
"Jia Yi, you are so bold, you actually assassinated the imperial family, do you really think that I dare not kill you?"
Li Er's sudden change of face made Jia Yi's heart sink suddenly, although he knew in his heart that Li Er couldn't really do anything to him for the sake of a Li Yuanchang, but there is a way that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, God knows what Li Er thinks now, in case Li Er is unhappy now, he wants to kill someone to play, and he just has a very good reason here.
Jia Yi never thought that Wang Yanping would be able to hide the eyeliner that Li Er had placed in Chang'an City, so he was not surprised at all that Li Er knew that Li Yuanchang was assassinated, but since Li Er had already made a move, Jia Yi would inevitably need to accept the move, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to Li Er: "The minister was confused for a while, and I hope Your Majesty will be gracious." ”
"Okay, let me be kind, but you'll have to answer me a question."
"Your Majesty, please."
"Do you think the time is ripe to attack Tuyuhun?"
Because Jia Yi was all focused on Li Yuanchang's body, he heard Li Er talk about Tuyuhun coldly, and his mind really didn't turn a corner, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, the population of our Datang has just begun to grow slowly, if you use swords now, it will really make the people of Datang have deep suspicions about the prosperity of Zhenguan, which is not a good thing." ”
"King Lu is my brother, and I will never let my brother be stabbed."
Jia Yi is this sweat, Li Er even played a threat, anyway, you are the emperor, if you have any ideas, just say it directly, since you want to attack Tuyuhun, then fight, let us express our position for chicken feathers.
"Ahem, of course, as long as I can minimize the death rate of my Datang soldiers, I believe it can still be accepted by the broad masses of the people."
"Tell me about it."
The only criterion for distinguishing people from animals is to use tools, and now Datang is still in the era of cold weapons, although Jia Yi has developed a weapon like a hot weapon like a burst arrow, but when it comes to the battlefield, it is really not good to say how much of a role this hot weapon can play, after all, Tuyuhun is also a human, and they are not stupid, they will just stand in place and wait for you to kill them.
So Jia Yi said again the idea of heavy armored cavalry mentioned at the beginning, with the current national strength of Datang, it is not too difficult to equip a heavy armored cavalry of 10,000 people, at this stage, as long as the damage of the opponent's siege equipment to the heavy armored cavalry can be broken at the first time, the remaining light weapons will not be able to stop the cavalry charge at all.
"Okay, I'll do what you say, form a heavily armored cavalry, as for sending troops to the formation, are you coming?"
The new arms inevitably need a new command, Jia Yi is a half-ass, and it is a joke to let him command the army, but there is one person who is very consistent, that is, Li Jing, who is already half-wise, as a military god, I believe that he should have a complete set of training methods.
