Chapter 504: Li Shimin, who lost his mind and went crazy
No matter how much Li Shimin admires Songwen's ability, it is impossible to give him any chance, and the people of Songwen and Yangzhou will not agree.
The Yellow Gate, which carried the decree, went to the ministers' offices to announce the decree, and some people were already waiting in court clothes. For example, the eldest grandson Wuji, such as Fang Xuanling, when the eight-hundred-mile hurried horse's hooves did not arrive at the palace, they had already received the news of the night patrol Wuhou, and they got up to wait for the holy decree.
The firelight illuminated the night of Chang'an, and the civil and military officials above the third rank entered the palace one after another, Li Chengqian was dressed in a yellow robe, and a five-clawed dragon with a cloud dragon coiled on his chest, and walked into the hall with a solemn face.
Gathering the ministers late at night must be a big deal, he stood at the front and counted, and after a while, all the officials in Chang'an arrived, and Cheng Yanjin was even more dressed in military uniform, looking like he was going to fight.
After a while, the eunuchs shouted that Your Majesty had arrived, and the ministers bent down to salute and shout long live. Li Shimin strode over and said lightly.
The ministers' hearts tightened, Lao Li's tone was not very good! Did something happen again?
"Your Majesty summoned the ministers and others late at night, but what happened in Lingnan?" Wei Zheng took a deep breath and asked. This should have been the head of the hundred officials, Fang Xuanling, maybe the eldest grandson Wuji asked, but it was his idea to recruit An Lingnan back then, and he had to come out to thunder.
"It seems that everyone knows that something happened in Lingnan, what are you all doing to eat? I don't know at all, and I have to wait for Feng Ang to report to me? ”
Li Shimin roared, and everyone knelt on the ground, not that he was guilty! But now they don't even know what's going on.
"Your Majesty is angry......"
"Anger? Where is Fu Yi? ”
"The minister listened to the hadith."
Fu Yi heard Li Shimin's dissatisfied voice, and hurriedly shouted.
"I ask you, was there one of the envoys who went to Beijing to worship last year named Dawenguo? What is the tribute? How much is the return gift? Rise up everybody! ”
Li Shimin's voice was gloomy, and he even called the others to get up, but Fu Yi knelt on the ground and thought hard.
After a long while, Fu Yi replied: "Your Majesty, there is such a thing, this is a newly established country, last year's tribute was gold and jade, as well as ten overseas beasts, the court gave a golden knife, and also returned the gift of silk and satin, knives, guns, ironware and a batch of grain, in addition, in order to support Dawenguo, the imperial court sent a group of craftsmen to Dawenguo. ”
{}/Fang Xuanling stood up and said, he is not a general, he thinks about fighting on the battlefield whenever he has the opportunity, he only thinks about how to minimize casualties.
"The face of the royal family is gone, if it is dealt with by the locality, then where will you put the face of the royal family?"
Li Shimin said lightly, and Cheng Yanjin immediately echoed loudly: "What Your Majesty said is reasonable, Chang'an should send troops over, and swagger to inform the world, so that everyone knows that it will not end well to go against our Tang Dynasty." Your Majesty will let the ministers take the lead, and Songwen will definitely die without a place to be buried. ”
Everyone present rolled their eyes, this old thing is obviously very shrewd, and he has to put on a stupid big face, and this is not how to show loyalty.
"Since it was me who was beaten in the face, it is natural that my son will get it back for me. Prince! Are you willing to kill Songwen for your father and get the royal face back. ”
Li Shimin suddenly looked at Li Chengqian and asked, the ministers were shocked, and the eldest grandson Wuji, who had always been an old god, suddenly stood up and held a wat and said loudly: "Your Majesty's so-called daughter body does not sit in the hall, why does a mere Songwen need to work for the prince to recruit in person, you must know that this sword has no eyes!" ”
"What Lord Wuji said is reasonable, Your Majesty, the monarch rules the people, what the prince should do is how to lead the ministers, not the army!"
Li Gang also hurriedly stood up and said that he was not afraid that Li Chengqian would be in any danger on the battlefield, and when he arrived on the battlefield, Li Chengqian would probably be talked about by the generals if he looked at the battlefield more.
What he was afraid of was that Li Chengqian was intoxicated with this feeling of holding military power and deciding life and death, and he was afraid that Li Tang would die like Yang Sui at that time.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to do his best for Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty's Quasi-Ministers to lead the army to the expedition."
Li Jing, who has been pretending to be dead, also came out and said, the ministers have dissuaded, it is rare to have such a virtuous second generation of officials, if the operation is done properly, it is more than wrong to protect the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, if it is because Li Lao Er killed the prince with his will, then what faces do they still have to stand on this court?
