When you come to the Lin De Hall, you can walk directly to the main hall.

At this time, the court meeting was not over, and Li Shimin was discussing national affairs with a cadre of civil ministers and military generals in the main hall.

"General Zhang, please stay!" As soon as he arrived outside the main hall, a guard stopped Zhang Yunwen, "Now Your Majesty is in the court, please don't go in!" ”

Zhang Yunwen flicked his sleeves and said to the guard: "This official came to attend the court meeting, but he was a little late, don't you let this official in?" ”

The guard looked at the sun overhead. Well, a little late? In two moments, I'm afraid it will be dispersed!

Ignoring the guard, he walked straight inside. The guard hurriedly shouted, "General Zhang, General Zhang......"

Zhang Yunwen suddenly turned around and grinned: "You dare to stop me?" ”

The guard hurriedly took a step back: "The little one doesn't dare, but please don't embarrass the little one!" ”

Zhang Yunwen waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll tell you general later!" After speaking, he strode into the main hall of the Lin De Palace.

In the main hall, an elderly official was holding an ivory board and babbling something to Li Shimin. Zhang Yunwen listened carefully, but couldn't help laughing. Dare to love this official is full of sycophants and slaps Li Shimin on the back.

Zhang Yunwen stepped into the hall and naturally attracted the attention of some people. But the old minister was playing, so no one spoke. And when the old minister finished speaking, a waiter suddenly stepped forward and said: "The minister, please treat the right guard Zhang Yunwen for the crime of trespassing in the main hall!" ”

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Yunwen, who was standing at the end of the ranks of military generals.

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "Zhang Yunwen's participation in the court meeting is a routine, what trespassing!" ”

Hearing such obvious partiality language, the squire was silent and retreated into the group.

Zhang Yunwen stood up regardless of it and said to Li Shimin: "Please forgive your majesty for being presumptuous, but the minister has something important to play!" ”

Li Shimin saw Zhang Yunwen's serious face, and immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Yunwen raised the note in his hand above his head. An attendant hurriedly came down from the high platform, took the note and handed it to Liu Xian beside Li Shimin, and Liu Xian handed it to Li Shimin with both hands.

"Smack-" Li Shimin patted the dragon chair, "Who did this?" At this time, he was no longer smiling, and said to Zhang Yunwen with a gloomy face.

Zhang Yunwen raised his head and replied calmly: "According to Weichen's analysis, there are no more than four types of people who can do this. The first is Jieli. This person is ambitious, has been secretly wary of Tuli, and now I see that a tribe has descended to my Tang Dynasty, so he directly killed the messenger, and asked Tuli with the head of the messenger. The second is Tuli. He was in charge of more than ten foreign tribes such as Xi and Khitan, and it was his duty to kill the envoys. The third is the forces within Xi and Khitan that oppose our Datang. They killed the envoy in order to prevent the tribe from taking refuge in my Datang. Finally, there is the Youzhou garrison. A foreign envoy went south and was killed by mistake for a Turk! ”

Hearing Zhang Yunwen's analysis, Li Shimin nodded. And the ministers and officials immediately knew what the information just now was about. It turned out that the envoys sent by the Xi, Khitan and other tribes who originally planned to surrender to the Tang Dynasty were killed!

Then I remembered Zhang Yunwen's remarks just now, and I had to admit that Zhang Yunwen was very reasonable.

Li Shimin waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Yunwen to retreat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tell me, how should this matter be?"

The ministers were silent for a moment.

After a while, Fang Xuanling came out and said: "Your Majesty, it's not difficult to say this, it's not easy to say!" If you send an important minister of the imperial court deep into the northern Xinjiang, directly to the Xi and Khitan departments, you will know it. I think that the departments have already had the intention of returning to obedience, and if they dial a little, they will definitely be attached to the south. The difficulty is who to send. Those foreign tribes, one is far away from the Central Plains, the north is bitterly cold, surrounded by Turks, so there are Turkic hostages; It has invaded Youzhou with the Turks many times, and the people of Youzhou have a grudge, so there are turbulent feelings in Youzhou. Second, as Lord Zhang said, there may be people within the tribe who are determined to oppose the Tang Dynasty, and if they are not sent properly, they are very vulnerable to the tripartite difficulties of the Turks, the soldiers and people of Youzhou, and the tribe. So, Your Majesty, think carefully! ”

As soon as Fang Xuanling's voice fell, Du Ruhui came out and said: "The minister agrees with what Fang Zhongshu said!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also came out and said: "The minister also agrees!" ”

In the end, the ministers were surging and said in unison: "The ministers agree with Lord Fang's words!" Your Majesty, please think about it! ”

Li Shimin suddenly fell silent. After a long time, he said to the ministers: "I want to send Zhang Yunwen, the general of the right guard, to go, but I don't know what everyone thinks?" ”

After a moment of silence, Fang Xuanling came out again and said: "Zhang Yunwen, the general of the right guard, is the humerus of the imperial court, the minister of social affairs, if he is sent to appease, there are three advantages." One is that Zhang Yunwen is a military general, and he is decisive in dealing with internal and external situations. The second is that Zhang Yunwen's martial arts are extraordinary, and the grassland tribes respect the strong and are easy to integrate into it. Third, Zhang Yunwen once suppressed Luo Yi's rebellion, and his prestige was shocked, and even Luo Cheng was defeated by him. And Luo's father and son have a very high reputation in Youzhou, and Zhang Yunwen can control the situation in Youzhou with this. However, if Zhang Yunwen leaves, who will take over the affairs of Chang'an? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent for a while. Especially Fang Xuanling's last sentence, "Who will take over?" The meaning is clear: if Zhang Yunwen does something outside Cyprus, who will help Li Shimin manage those institutions that have been planned for a long time?

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhang Yunwen came out and said: "If Your Majesty wants Weichen to go outside, Weichen will go." As for the affairs of Chang'an, each ministry has a person in charge, such as Lin Ran and Hu Quan in the Investigation Institute, Yan Yuan in the Equipment Institute, and many instructors in the Military Academy, so only one person needs to be sent to take charge of the affairs. As for the reconnaissance battalion, with Li Yang in charge, Weichen is also very relieved! ”

Hearing Zhang Yunwen say this, Fang Xuanling suddenly bowed his hand and said: "Since Lord Zhang has already arranged it, the best candidate to go to Saibei is Zhang Yunwen!" ”

So Li Shimin said solemnly: "Zhang Yunwen obeyed the order, and now Zhang Yunwen is crowned as the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu and the general of Huaihua, and he will be given a goldfish bag." Order him to go to Saibei and pacify the tribes! ”

Zhang Yunwen immediately bowed down and said, "Obey Your Majesty's will!" ”

Li Shimin looked at the time and said to the ministers: "Since the matter is decided, then let's disperse the court!" ”

Zhang Yunwen suddenly remembered that there was still something to say, and immediately said: "The minister still has something to play!" ”

Li Shimin said with some displeasure: "If there is anything else, let's talk about it quickly!" ”

"When the minister returned to Chang'an today, there were Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Weiwei Temple, and Sinong Temple, officials of the Shangshe Bureau, and Zhonglang General of the Right Xiaowei reported that the Equipment Institute was in the imperial city, but the noise was too loud, affecting the nearby official office! Please relocate the Equipment Institute to the Military Academy to strengthen management and protect its confidentiality! ”

When Li Shimin heard this performance, he was stunned at first, and then said: "Hehe, it's too noisy?" Okay, I'm on track! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Zhang Yunwen is another one.

After the court meeting, Zhang Yunwen also slowly walked home. However, on the way, he suddenly remembered something. Without hesitation, he agreed to Li Shimin's proposal to send him to Saibei, but from Chang'an to Youzhou, and then to the Xi tribe, it is definitely not possible to come back in January or two, however, next month, his two elder brothers will exchange birthdays with the Han sisters, and officially decide that they are the only relatives of the two elder brothers, how can they not participate in their dating ceremony? However, at this time, there is a conflict!

For a while, Zhang Yunwen didn't know what to do.

When I returned home, I found that the Liu brothers were sitting in the courtyard in a daze, while the rest of the people were sleeping in the room.

Nervously told the Liu brothers about the events at the court meeting, and the Liu brothers immediately fell silent.

After a long time, Liu Yong said: "Third child, did Your Majesty say that you were asked to set off when?" ”

Zhang Yunwen shook his head: "Although I didn't say it, I guess it's been these two days!" ”

Liu Yong said: "Otherwise, you go first, the third child, and when the Han family girl comes, we will ask General Wei Chi to come forward and say that he will postpone it for two months, and when you come back, we will make a marriage and marry together, what do you think?" ”

Nodding with some guilt, Zhang Yunwen said: "I have to do it this way!" ”
