Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Prince's Secret Fight

"Father, the son does not agree with this law!"

As soon as the voice came out, everyone in the hall raised their eyebrows fiercely except for Li Shimin.

Li Shimin followed the prestige and found a white and chubby man next to the eldest grandson Wuji... Dumplings?

"Oh? What Tyre thinks, I can talk about it quickly. Li Shimin saw that it was his son, laughed, and ordered someone to bring a stool and put it in front of Li Tai.

Li Tai bowed to Li Shimin: "The son thanked his father." Then he wriggled his fat body and sat down on the poor little stool.

When the ministers present saw this scene, they looked at each other, sighed in their hearts, and were silent.

Since the crown prince Li Chengqian contracted foot disease, Li Tai, the king of Wei, has become more and more favored. The food, clothing, and ceremonial guards of the Wei Palace, etc., are mentioned again and again, which is almost no different from that of the prince.

After King Wei was favored, his ambitions also began to skyrocket, and he began to be dissatisfied with just being a vassal king in the future, and his eyes were on the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan where Li Shimin was now sitting.

My father can launch the Xuanwumen Rebellion, abolish the crown prince and establish himself as the king, why can't I force the prince to retire? Li Tai often muttered in his heart.

At the beginning of this year, Li Tai asked Li Shimin to write the "Chronicles of the Universe", and asked for orders to recruit wise men, and Li Shimin agreed. So the king of Wei successfully recruited a group of strategists to help him plan to compete for the crown prince.

What he wants to say now is exactly what he has been discussing with the advisors in the palace for a long time.

"Father, the son thinks it's really inappropriate to send troops to attack Tubo! There are three reasons for this. ”

Li Tai smiled inexplicably and glanced at Li Chengqian, who was about to breathe fire, and continued to say to Li Shimin: "First, the attack on the Tubo division is unknown, and the Tubo army is strong, who wins and who loses, if it can't be attacked for a long time, it will become more and more realistic, teach me the Tang Dynasty and convince the world?" Youzi said: The use of etiquette, harmony is precious. It is not only uncourteous to go to war, but also a breach of peace. ”

Li Shimin nodded frequently after hearing this: "Tai'er is reasonable, what are the other two?" ”

Li Tai paused and continued: "Second, my Datang has been fighting for many years, and has encountered several natural disasters, and the people have long been overwhelmed, and at this time, a lot of manpower and material resources will inevitably be invested in the war. I can't afford it! ”

"Third, Xue Yantuo in the north is eyeing my Tang border, if we send troops to attack Tubo at this time, how should Xue Yantuo take the opportunity to wave his troops south?"

Everyone was silent.

Li Tai glanced at everyone, a smile flashed in his eyes, and then he bowed his head to Li Shimin: "Father, son, son, I hope my father will correct me." ”

"Correction? Ha ha! What Tyre said is very good, what more correction is needed? What is Zhong Aiqing's opinion? Li Shimin laughed happily.

Opinion? What do you give us to say? Now the question is not how to treat Tibet, but that it is sandwiched between the two princes.

If anyone now agrees with one of the two princes, they will inevitably be hated by the other prince.

And now Li Shimin's attitude towards the prince is unclear, no one dares to be the first bird, who knows if King Wei will counterattack and become the crown prince in a few years?

The eldest grandson Wuji hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister has an ugly opinion. ”

As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji spoke, the rest of the people were relieved, except for Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji was qualified to comment.

Because both Li Chengqian and Li Tai are the nephews of the eldest grandson Wuji, of course their own family members can comment.

"Huh? What do you think about the auxiliary machine, let's talk about it quickly. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the ideas of the two princes can be combined. We refused to make peace with Tibet, but allowed the Tibetan envoys to be generous and prepared for future wars, just in case of emergency. ”

"Hehe, the auxiliary machine is deep in my heart, but I thought of it together."

Li Shimin looked at his two sons with a smile. "Your ideas are a bit extreme, when it comes to major affairs in the feudal country, it is not something that can be handled by blindly suppressing or being gentle, and the combination of rigidity and softness is the king."

Saying that, Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian and Li Tai meaningfully, and said in an inexplicable tone: "Qian'er, Tai'er, both of you are talented, both are my sons, you should unite as one, learn from each other's strengths, and never brothers and sisters can kill each other and do things that make me feel cold." You guys, got it? ”

Li Chengqian and Li Tai hurriedly bowed down when they heard this: "Erchen understands!" ”

After speaking, the two glanced at each other, but the meaning was just the meaning, I'm afraid only they knew.

Li Shimin suddenly said: "Speaking of preparing for war, hehe, I got a law yesterday, can you be interested in hearing about it?" ”

"Listen to your ears."

"I plan to select two elite soldiers, Qiao Zhuang dressed up as a merchant, hid the weapons in the goods, and entered the territory of Tubo and Xue Yantuo respectively. On the surface, they are responsible for trading with Tubo and Xue Yantuo, but secretly they are investigating the internal situation of Tubo and Xue Yantuo, transmitting information to us, and adapting to the climate and environment there. Call him to come inside and out! What do Zhong Aiqing think? ”

"Shhh This method kills three birds with one stone, and takes the lead without a fight, so that our side has a great initiative...... That's a great way to do it! Eldest Sun Wuji was the first to speak.

Then, after thinking about it, the rest of the people also felt that it was feasible, and they all agreed: "Wonderful, wonderful! Your Majesty is wise! ”

Li Shimin smiled: "This method was not conceived by me, but a fifteen-year-old baby, and everyone is no stranger to it, it is the boy who made 'every grain is happy'." ”

Fifteen-year-old baby?

Everyone was amazed, a fifteen-year-old baby had such ability? Writing poetry and giving advice? Think about it again when they were fifteen... Everyone felt that the old face was red.

"Hey, hey, it hurts the old man." Cheng Yanjin and Li Ji came in from outside the hall with their buttocks.

Li Ji is still holding a pink and tender little girl in one hand, it is Li Mingda who has just returned to the palace.

"Father!" Li Mingda got down from Li Ji's hands and went straight to Li Shimin.

Everyone present smiled kindly at Li Mingda.

"Haha, my precious daughter, I don't see you for a day and I want to die." Li Shimin picked up his daughter and asked, "Are you having a good time today?" ”

Li Mingda nodded excitedly: "Happy!" Mingda wants to play tomorrow! ”

"Okay, let's let Zhi'er go with you tomorrow."

"Good, good! Let my brother go with Mingda. Li Mingda's smile suddenly froze, and he leaned into Li Shimin's ear: "Father, don't fight Uncle Cheng and Uncle Li Ji in the future, if you break them, there will be no one to help my father lead the troops to fight in the future when foreign enemies invade." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but wonder.

"Hahaha! Lao Cheng thanked Her Royal Highness the princess here, but Lao Cheng's body is strong, and it doesn't matter if he hits a few times. Cheng Yanjin said with a big grin, and tried to puff up his chest and show himself... Can you get beaten again?

Li Ji's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he bowed deeply. "The old minister thanked Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "The son has the prince Wei Wang to plan the world, and the woman has a wise heart to advise and advise, why worry about the country!" ”

The ministers were also moved, and the mountain shouted: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”
