Chapter 237: The Ambition of the Eldest Sun Wuji

He has endured it for twenty years, how many twenty years can there be in his life? He is almost fifty years old this year, where can he wait another twenty years?

However, the eldest grandson Wuji is a smart person, he knows that now Li Zhen is in the middle of the court when the sun is in full swing, with the support of hundreds of officials inside, the support of the army outside, and Li Shimin's optimism......

In the current situation, if you want to bring down Li Zhen, it is useless to blindly magnify the moves, and using the big moves will only cause Li Zhen and Li Shimin to fight back the fiercest, and the gains outweigh the losses. At this time, the best way is to boil the frog in warm water and simmer slowly, and to deal with Li Zhen, you need to use patience to slowly pry, shake his foundation little by little, and finally overthrow it in one fell swoop - this is the best policy.

Li Ji retorted when he heard this: "Lord Sikong's words are wrong, such a large area as Linyi is a new land that has just been defeated by King Yue, and it urgently needs the army to stabilize, which is the most important role of Hou Junji's army." An army of 100,000 has to be stationed in a place and capture slaves, and an army of 100,000 may not be enough, where does he have the spare strength to help King Yue? ”

"Yes." The eldest grandson Wuji lowered his head and pondered for a while, before raising his head and saying slowly: "But after all, this is an army of 100,000, and the generals must not only have enough prestige, but also need to be absolutely loyal to the Tang Dynasty, otherwise I am afraid that the ministers will repeat the old things of Qiao Shiwang." ”

Qiao Shiwang is the protector of the Tang Dynasty's western Tibetan capital, some time ago the Tang Dynasty was in a crisis of siege on all sides, at this time Qiao Shiwang mobilized the army to Kangding without the order to transfer troops, adding a fire to the already dangerous situation of the Tang Dynasty, and now he has been ordered by Li Shimin to be escorted to Chang'an, and is being locked up in Dali Temple for trial.

"It's a nuisance, but it's not a big deal." Li Jing thought for a moment and said: "There are not many other people in the DPRK and China, and there are not many generals in the army, right?" If it really doesn't work, it's up to the old man to go through this experience. ”

"The situation in northern Xinjiang is still unstable, and it needs to be suppressed by pharmacists." Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head and said, "Duke Mao also needs to look at the Western Regions, so the two of you must not move." As for Zhijie, Jingde, and Shubao, they are only good at charging on the battlefield, but they don't have the ability to lead an army alone. ”

"Who do you think the auxiliary should send?" Li Shimin's eyes suddenly narrowed, the two have been partners for decades, the eldest grandson Wuji knows Li Shimin, but why doesn't Li Shimin understand the eldest grandson Wuji?

He knows too well the eldest grandson Wuji's desire for power, and he also knows that if Li Zhen succeeds to the throne, others may be reused, but only the eldest grandson Wuji cannot. It was not because he was the elder brother of Empress Changsun and the uncle of the three brothers Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi that Li Zhen was jealous of him. It's because like Li Shimin, Li Zhen also knows the eldest grandson Wuji very well, and also knows how heavy the eldest grandson Wuji's desire for power is, and in order to maintain his rights, he can even frame innocent people - for such people, Li Zhen has always been insensitive to such people.

What kind of shrewd person is the eldest grandson Wuji? Seeing this, how can you not understand that Li Shimin has seen through his little Jiujiu? In his heart, he hurriedly dispelled his thoughts, and immediately changed his words: "The minister thinks that with the right general Wuwei, Xue Wanche, the prince of Wu'an County, can take on this great responsibility. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji felt very uncomfortable when he promoted Xue Wanche, as disgusting as eating a dead fly, because his relationship with Xue Wanche was not good (in history, Xue Wanche died at the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji). But at this time, he didn't dare to recommend his own people. Listening to Li Shimin's tone, he already knew that his previous words had caused Li Shimin's dissatisfaction, how could he dare to recommend his own people to lead the troops?

Instead of trying to arouse Li Shimin's disgust and recommend his own people, it is better to recommend his opponent to walk slowly and not send ...... At this time, he recommended Xue Wanche to have three major benefits.

Not only can it eliminate Li Shimin's unhappiness between understatements, but it can also have a reputation for not avoiding revenge, maybe he can also use this matter to turn Xue Wanche into a jade silk, killing three birds with one stone - in the middle of his mind, he came up with such a perfect solution, so that Li Shimin couldn't be angry, and he had to sigh in his heart, no wonder Zhen'er said that Wuji was an old fox...... Looking at his hand today, he is worthy of being an old fox, and he is really powerful enough.

"Xue Wanche? This is a good candidate, and the minister seconded it. Li Jing was the first to agree, although Xue Wanche and Li Zhen are not on the same path, he is not a person who is against Li Zhen's alliance, and he belongs to the neutral camp. However, the two sides once had a friendship in the Turks (when Li Zhen served as the Turkic protector, Xue Wanche was the deputy protector under him, and the first batch of cavalry in the Turkic Protectorate was trained by him), psychologically Xue Wanche is still very biased towards Li Zhen's side, if the two sides cooperate again in Nanyang, I believe that with Li Zhen's ability, it should not be a problem to pull him into his camp.

Li Jing alone seconded the proposal, so Li Shimin asked casually: "I don't know what your opinions are Aiqing?" ”

"The emperor is wise, and the minister seconds the proposal~"

"The minister seconded the proposal~"

"The minister seconded the proposal~"

"The minister seconded the proposal~"

“……”

The emperor just lost his temper and scolded the bastards who dared to fight him as fools, and now is the time when the momentum is like a rainbow, who dares to disobey him at this time? What's more, Xue Wanche is indeed a qualified general, his reputation may not be as big as the fame of Li Jing, Qin Qiongcheng, Biting Jin and Wei Chi Jingde, but after all, he is also an old man in the army, a veteran who once fought the world with Li Shimin, and it is no problem to lead an army of 100,000.

Seeing that no one was safe, Li Shimin said with satisfaction: "Very good, then let's do it, Fang Qing, let's draft the purpose." ”

"Yes......"

"Wait a minute." The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly spoke.

"Auxiliary, do you have anything else?" The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth to speak at this time, Li Shimin subconsciously felt that he would not say anything good, and the invisible momentum spread, and he asked in a low voice.

Facing the pressure of Li Shimin, it is even stronger than the eldest grandson Wuji imagined, but he thought of ...... Still is......

Holding back the tremor in his heart, the eldest grandson Wuji said respectfully: "Emperor Qiqi, it is a foregone conclusion that King Yue will sweep the South Seas, but he is fighting in front, and I am afraid that he has no time to care about the rear, and taking care of the head and ignoring the tail will inevitably lead to chaos in the rear...... What does the minister mean, should we send a representative in the name of His Majesty to calm people's hearts? ”

"Calm people's hearts? Why do you want to calm people's hearts? Cheng Yanjin asked rhetorically: "In King Yue's plan, all the natives of Nanyang are to be reduced to slaves, why did Hou Junji bring an army of 100,000?" Isn't it just to capture slaves? I'm going to be reduced to slavery, tell me, how can this people's hearts be settled? ”
