That's right, the grain road! Liang Shidu's eyes lit up when he heard Lu Jilan's words, as if he had lifted the dark clouds and seen the sun, and suddenly woke up like an empowerment, and applauded Lu Jilan's strategy.

Lu Jilan saw that Master Liang had already solved the crux that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time, so he beckoned his subordinates outside the door to enter the house and clean up the fragments of various objects piled up on the ground in the house. Liang Shidu got up and said to Lu Jilan: "Lu Aiqing, you go to the court with me and tell the civil and military officials about our dispatch of troops this time." ”

Lu Jilan nodded in agreement, followed Liang Shidu to the newly built palace in Shuofang County, and summoned the ministers to the court to discuss the dispatch of troops.

The reason why Liang Shi had to discuss this matter with Lu Jilan before going to the court was because not all the courts in Liang were sloppy and slapping horses in order to please Liang Shidu, but there were still many literati who came to Liang Shidu to fight for the merits of the dragon and the former court officials who were degraded to the border by Yang Guang, these people always put the interests of Liang State first when thinking about things, and they would definitely oppose the attack on Li Wenyuan's troops just for the sake of the Eastern Turks.

These people really love and hate, and love is in these people, they can directly point out the injustices and mistakes in the court, and they can recover the losses caused by some erroneous decrees as much as possible; But hate also hate that these people often oppose Liang Shidu, and every time Liang Shi wants to enjoy the extravagant treatment exclusive to the emperor, these people will jump out against Liang Shidu's behavior, and often use Xia Wei as a metaphor for the consequences of Liang Shidu's greed for pleasure. Therefore, every time these speech officials make a statement, Liang Shi will not be able to get off the stage, but Liang Shidu still has to create an image of himself as a Ming Jun, and not only can he not deal with these speech officials, but also reward them. Just like the construction of the palace this time, they were very unwilling, and in the end, it was Lu Jilan's sentence: The dignified Liang country, do you want to receive envoys from other countries in mud houses and grass huts? Are you trying to disgrace my dignified country? Only then did the obstructions of those officials be blocked, so that the palace was built smoothly.

Through this incident, Liang Shidu realized Lu Jilan's deterrent power to these officials, and at the same time, because Lu Jilan is extremely good at life, he can not only persuade Liang Shidu to follow his own suggestions, but also figure out Liang Shidu's psychology, and support Liang Shidu's decision-making in the court. Because Lu Jilan is good at figuring out the intentions and can handle the relationship between the ministers in the court, he is like the head of the ministers in the court.

Sure enough, as soon as the Liang division in the court threw out the proposal to send troops to join forces with the Eastern Turks to attack Wuwei County, the court immediately caused an uproar like a drop of water hitting hot oil. At this time, the court was divided into two rows, and the people of one faction resolutely opposed the dispatch of troops, but advocated recuperation and accumulation, and then attacked the outside world; The other faction is Liang Shidu's die-hard supporters, who will unconditionally support any proposal of Liang Shidu, and they have roped in the hawks in the court to support Liang Shidu's proposal.

For a while, the sound of quarrels in the entire court was endless, and Master Liang, who was sitting on the throne, took a sip of the tea in front of him, and then closed his eyes and took a nap on the back of the chair, and Lu Jilan, who was in the court, also closed his eyes and turned a deaf ear to the sounds of the outside world.

In the end, the sound of the quarrel in the court was finally a little weaker, and at this time, Lu Jilan opened his eyes, looked at Liang Shidu on the throne and was still indifferent, just coughed a few times, walked out two steps and turned to look at the ministers. Although Lu Jilan was not highly respected in the hearts of the ministers, the ministers were very convinced of him, so when they heard Lu Jilan cough a few times and was about to say something, they all gave up the quarrel and looked at Lu Jilan in unison.

Lu Jilan walked out of the train, looked at the ministers in front of him and said: "Colleagues, you are all the humerus of the beam, and you are the pillars of the beam!" Whether it is the people who support sending troops to attack Li Wenyuan, or the people who advocate recuperation with the people, they are all for the sake of the hegemony of our main beam. But at present, we are indeed in the most suitable time to attack Li Wenyuan, you know, Li Wenyuan occupies the entire Western Regions, with more than 100,000 troops, if it were not for the fact that he is now entangled with the Western Turks, fighting each other inextricably, we have only less than one percent chance of winning against them. But now that the forces around us have no time to plot our territory, it is a good opportunity for us to conquer abroad! As the saying goes, heaven and Buddha take the opposite and suffer the blame! If we can't take this opportunity to weaken Li Wenyuan's strength, we will wait to be slowly besieged by Li Wenyuan's army in this remote place, and lose all the initiative. ”

Lu Jilan's words made the people in the court silent, but some officials said: "Lord Lu, what you said is indeed reasonable, but the place where we have a new strategy is still resuming production, and it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources, and the army will definitely affect the process at this time." ”

"It's okay, what this lord said is reasonable, but as far as I know, there are countless grains piled up in the granary in Wuwei County under Li Wenyuan's rule, as long as we capture Wuwei County, the food we get is enough for the people under our rule to eat enough." Lu Jilan nodded to the official who asked and said.

"In that case, we have no opinion, and we support His Majesty's proposal." Yan Guan agreed with Lu Jilan's statement, and immediately agreed to Liang Shidu's proposal.

Yanguan's position has turned to Liang Shidu, supporting this strategy for Wuwei County, and the rest of the people have also turned to Liang Shidu's position, at this time, Lu Jilan turned to Liang Shidu and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have agreed to fully support Your Majesty's attack on Wuwei County." ”

When Liang Shidu heard Lu Jilan's words, he opened his eyes and said: "Okay, since you Aiqing have already discussed, then pass on my will, appoint Li Zhengbao as the commander-in-chief, and garrison troops in Lingwu County, and wait for everything to be ready, and then directly send troops to attack Wuwei County." ”

According to Liang Shidu's words, the pen on the side drew up the holy decree and put it on the table in front of Liang Shidu. Then Liang Shidu looked at the ministers in front of him and said:

"Zhu Aiqing, is there anything else to do?"

Lu Jilan took the lead and said: "The minister has no book to play. The ministers also responded and said: "The ministers have no book to play. ”

Liang Shidu nodded and said, "Scatter the dynasty." ”
