Chapter Fifty-Four: Luo Yan, a newcomer to the Literature Hall gathering

After returning to the Lu Mansion, Lu Deming did not ask Luo Yan about seeing Li Shimin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, Luo Yan still habitually reported to Old Master Lu. The other Lu Deming didn't care too much, but Luo Yan said that Fang Xuanling was released and the crown prince Li Jiancheng was personally recruited, and Lu Deming behaved more solemnly.

Of course, Li Shimin is more optimistic, because at this time, the talents around him are not only Fang Xuanling. Lu Deming considered that Fang Xuanling might become a beginning. The eighteen bachelors of the Literature Museum, he, Yu Shinan, Cai Yungong and Chu Liang are not young, although Li Shimin's treatment is very good, but the body is not a good treatment.

Li Jiancheng has always been criticized for his lack of military merits, and his prestige in the army is not as good as Li Shimin. If Li Jiancheng goes on an expedition once and accumulates some prestige in the army, I am afraid his position will be more stable. When the time comes, Li Yuan will get them away from Li Shimin's side one by one, and Li Shimin will become a tiger without minions, and he will not let them knead it.

Taking a sip of tea, Lu Deming pondered for a long time, and then asked Luo Yan to rest first, and continued to think about things in the study.

As time passed, in the blink of an eye, it was August, and at this time a major event occurred that shook the government and the opposition. The Turkic Jieli Khan led 150,000 cavalry Koubian and directly entered Yanmen Pass and began to attack Bingzhou and Yuanzhou.

This is not good news. Once Shanxi falls, the next step is the 800-mile Qinchuan. When the time comes, the already unstable political situation will be even more chaotic. Therefore, Li Yuan ignored Taichangqing Zheng Yuanshou's suggestion to negotiate peace, and adopted the method of ordering Feng Deyi to fight first and then negotiate peace.

Now it's good, Prince Li Jiancheng's wish to make contributions is about to come true. Li Yuan ordered Li Jiancheng to take the Youzhou Road, Li Shimin to take the Qinzhou Road, and at the same time, Li Zihe rushed to Yunzhou to raid Jieli, and Duan Decao went to Xiazhou to cut off Jieli's back road.

The idea is good, you see that there is a head-to-head confrontation, there are those who respond to the two wings, and there are those who copy the back road. But the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

The Turkic army directly captured the Great Earthquake Pass, and if it was fought again, it was difficult to guarantee that the Turks who had no way back would not hit the city of Chang'an.

There's no way around it now, let's negotiate peace.

Fortunately, there was Taichangqing Zheng Yuanshou, a master who had been an envoy to the Turks, to lead the team, and after seeing Jieli, he finally let Jieli retreat.

But the crown prince Li Jian's plan to establish military merit became a bubble.

Now the prince will not follow, this is not good, you see that the prince finally fought a battle, and he didn't win yet, this matter is very troublesome. No, I'll have to go out and fight a few times. At this time, Liu Heimin and Xu Yuanlang were still alive and kicking, so the crown prince Zhongyun Wang Qi and the crown prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng kept persuading Li Jiancheng to go to Shandong to crusade against Liu Heimin.

Finally in October, because Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, had a poor record in Shandong, he folded the good Huaiyang king Li Daoxuan into it. At this time, Li Yuan became angry, and directly agreed to Li Jiancheng's request and asked him to go to Shandong in November.

What happened to the war outside had nothing to do with Luo Yan. Since meeting Li Shimin, because of the punitive tasks, as well as his own work and achievement tasks, Luo Yan has been so busy that he doesn't even have the mind to play around.

The Analects was copied for three months and finally copied, but fortunately, the achievement task was also completed, and now Luo Yan was a lot easier.

The next achievement task is to require Luo Yan to read a thousand volumes, as the fourth round of achievement tasks, the task time given is a lot longer, three years, but carefully calculated, this time is just five times that of the third round, it is almost fatal. However, correspondingly, this reward is also a lot richer, this time it actually strengthened Luo Yan's various physical qualities, and then it also came with Luo Yan's certain battlefield self-protection ability.

Well, it's just to urge Luo Yan to go to the battlefield to prepare.

In the past few months, in addition to the copying of books that make people want to die, what can make Luo Yan remember deeply is the literary museum assembly he attended.

The rally took place when Li Jiancheng asked to go to Shandong to lead troops to fight.

In November, Chang'an City was already covered in snow. Li Jiancheng's sudden request made the originally deserted Chang'an City suddenly lively.

The crown prince is the prince of the kingdom and cannot be moved lightly. And Shandong is not a good place, didn't you see that the king of Huaiyang died in battle. What's more, the generals under the crown prince Li Jiancheng over the years are three or two big cats and small cats, which cannot be compared with Li Shimin, the king of Qin.

In fact, Li Jiancheng's intention to go to Shandong in a hurry is very clear to everyone.

But at this time, the resistance of the court is still very great. The people on Li Shimin's side naturally didn't want the prince to have such a chance to mix military exploits, so they did everything they could to block it. However, some imperialists and centrists also directly opposed Li Yuan's intentions. Without him, it is because he Li Jiancheng is the crown prince.

It doesn't matter if a clan dies, it can stimulate the blood of the soldiers anyway. But the prince is different, if there are three long and two short, it will not only boost the morale of the enemy, but also blow the morale of his own army. This kind of thing has all kinds of harm and no benefit, they naturally don't want Li Yuan to do it.

But everyone underestimated Li Yuan's partiality towards Li Jiancheng.

Daxingtai of Shaanxi East Province, Marshal of Shandong Daoxingtai, Henan and Hebei Prefectures, and were controlled by Li Jiancheng. How many times has Li Shimin fought, but he still hasn't been treated. At this moment, Li Shimin was not optimistic all of a sudden.

Originally, Luo Yan reminded him of Li Jiancheng's expedition, and he also had this preparation in his heart, but when it came to the end, he felt a little unprepared. The treatment that Li Yuan gave to Li Jiancheng was completely to exterminate Liu Heimin and Xu Yuanlang at one time.

If this had been put in the past, Li Shimin would have looked down on this military merit at all. But now that this military merit is put on Li Jiancheng's head, Li Shimin will be blown up. If you had changed this person to Li Yuanji, Li Shimin would have led a group of people to drink a long time ago, and it would be their turn to have a meeting here.

Therefore, the theme of this rally is the matter of the prince's expedition.

The expressions of the people present were a little serious. Everyone can gather under Li Shimin, and naturally hope that Li Shimin will eventually sit in that position. But now it seems that the situation is getting more and more serious.

"Please teach me." After all, Li Shimin is just a hairy young man in his twenties, although the political wisdom he has cultivated over the years is not low, but he still has to consult these staff members when he encounters things.

"Your Highness can also ask to lead the troops to the battle, as long as the merits overshadow the prince, then when the time comes, the saint will not be able to bypass the prince no matter how good he is." This is what Fang Xuanling said. As for the current form, he knew very well that there was no way to stop the prince's expedition. Since this is the case, then only Li Shimin can win a greater victory on the battlefield, then at least he can crush Li Jiancheng.

"If you want me to see, the saint may not agree to His Highness's invitation to fight. Therefore, it is better to prepare with both hands, on the one hand, to follow the prince to fight, and on the other hand, to step up the wooing of some people. "This is what Su Miao, the counselor said. This is amazing, his grandfather is Su Wei, the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty, and he also married Li Yuan's daughter. has been influenced by officialdom since he was a child, and after this idea came out, many people applauded.

"This method is feasible, but I hope that His Highness can stay in the dark for a while." Lu Deming said something completely different from others.

"Assistant Teacher Lu, why is this?" Lu Deming's unusual suggestion attracted everyone's attention, and Li Shimin hurriedly asked.

"Presumably, His Royal Highness had already anticipated the prince's expedition, and I had already been prompted a few months ago to start thinking about it." Taking a sip of tea, Lu Deming ignored the eager gazes of others and said slowly.

"The current situation is that no matter what His Highness does, the saint is biased towards the crown prince. And this bias is not something that His Highness can transfer with greater military merits or more court power. If His Highness takes more action, I am afraid that it will invite disaster. ”

"The merit is high." The crowd exclaimed.

Yes, in fact, Li Shimin has already made great achievements, but on the one hand, he is Li Yuan's own son, and on the other hand, this Tang Dynasty is still useful to Li Shimin, so he can be so beautiful now. Imagine, when Liu Heimin and Xu Yuanlang are solved, basically Datang will stabilize in China. The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is the Turks, and at this time, as long as there are good generals, it is not possible to send anyone.

Lu Deming's words made everyone present sweat, except for Luo Yan.

"But that's it?" These people are still a little unwilling.

"I'd better leave this question to Jinzhi to answer." Lu Deming intended to let his disciples appear in front of people, so he directly pushed Luo Yan out.

At this moment, the eyes of these people converged on Luo Yan, who was sitting at the end.

Since entering the door to greet him, Luo Yan has not said a word, giving full play to the character of a good student. So after talking about this for a long time, everyone actually forgot that there is a new person here

Li Shimin naturally would not let go of the opportunity to win over Luo Yan, and agreed at the moment.

"Seniors, in fact, at this time, wouldn't it be better for His Royal Highness to stay in Chang'an with peace of mind, leave the opportunity to the crown prince, and serve the saint and the harem well. The saint has always been proud of His Royal Highness's brotherhood, friend, and brother, but don't let the saint down. Moreover, there was pressure from His Royal Highness in the past, and the prince was naturally cautious in his words and deeds. Once His Royal Highness has no intention of fighting, it is difficult to say whether the prince can sit firmly in the long run. Luo Yan cherished this hard-won opportunity, so he was very frank and said everything he thought.

At present, these people look at Luo Yan differently.

Luo Yan's method is completely a conspiracy, and any prince who puts it in the hands of him has to do these things. But Li Shimin made it different. It can not only win Li Yuan's favor, but also make Li Jiancheng relax his vigilance.

Luo Yan's speech gave these people some sense of identity with Luo Yan.
