"You all know about Western Xia?" In the study, Li Jing's face was not good-looking, the information in his hand was on the desk, and he said: "Xixia is a difficult bone to gnaw, I thought that after killing Brother Wei Mingcha, Xixia would no longer have soldiers and horses to resist, and now there is another Ji Siyi, blocking hundreds of thousands of troops in Keyimen, unable to move forward an inch, what to do now?" ”

"Your Majesty, the army of the expedition to the west has mobilized the people, and the Western Xia has not been captured until now, and the army has serious daily losses, so the minister thinks that it is better to temporarily suspend the army at this time and wait for next year to fight again." Zheng Juzhong hurriedly said.

"No." Gongsun Sheng hurriedly said: "Keyimen is the periphery of Xingqing Mansion, as long as the Keyimen is captured, it will be a horse Pingchuan, not to mention, Lord Yelu may have gathered soldiers and horses at this time, attacking Western Xia from the west, this is an excellent opportunity, if it is because of this matter, temporarily stop attacking Western Xia, I am afraid that our previous efforts will be in vain, and the Jin people and the Southern Song Dynasty are recuperating, there will definitely be action next year, if we wait until next year to fight again, I am afraid we have to face more than just a Western Xia, It's a three-way army. ”

"There is not enough food and grass in the army, what should I do?" Zheng Juzhong couldn't help but object.

"At this time, the autumn harvest is not far away, the minister has seen it, this year's harvest is not bad, and it can definitely support the army to continue to fight." Gongsun Sheng continued. Xingqing Mansion is in front of him, and at this time, how willing is Gongsun Sheng to stop the war.

"It's not a problem of grain and grass at the moment, even if there is a shortage of grain and grass in the army, the ministers will definitely be able to make up some of the grain and grass if they get together, and there is naturally no problem to support the army of Zhengxi, the minister is just worried about Wu'anhou." Zhao Ding couldn't help but say: "The people of Western Xia are also the people, and they will also be the king's people in the future, at this time, the people of Western Xia were captured to attack the Keyi Gate, which was fierce and brutal, and it had caused the dissatisfaction of the people of the Western Xia. He also asked the king to observe and choose another person to take over the Western Xia War. ”

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Wu'an has made outstanding achievements, but this person is thirsty for killing, and the minister thinks that he cannot be the master of the three armies, so please choose another general for the king." Zheng Juzhong said: "The people of Western Xia will also be attached to the king in the future, and the minister thinks that he can teach the people of Western Xia with benevolence and righteousness, so that the people of Western Xia can be used by the king willingly, and swords and guns cannot solve the problem." In the end, Wu Anhou is a martial artist, he only knows how to attack the Quartet, but he doesn't know that he can only fight the world immediately, not govern the world, and deal with these Xixia people, he must influence the other party with benevolence and righteousness, and he can only be used by the king for a long time. Wu'anhou has killed countless people now, and the entire Xixia people will be disgusted with Wu'anhou, and even with me the Tang Dynasty will not do any good, if you want to conquer again in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult, and please ask the king to choose another famous general to conquer the Western Xia. ”

Li Jing's eyes flickered, he was a little impatient, and couldn't help but say, "Lord Zheng, now that the situation is like this, who do you think can conquer Western Xia?" Could it be that a civilian official should be appointed as the main general? Don't think that anyone is Zhuge Liang, even Zhuge Liang has a time to defeat the battle, this conquest of the world, it still needs to be done by the military in the future, and the civil officials govern the world and prepare the grain and grass for the army to collect. "Civilian officials leading the army to go to the army, it is not for nothing throughout the ages, but there are very few civilian officials who can really win, the Zhao and Song dynasties were mostly civilian leaders, and the same was true in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, but I don't know, only military generals are suitable for the battlefield, and civilian officials are the commanders, which is simply a joke.

"Your Majesty, the Seed Master Dao is the enemy of the Western Xia, and for many years, he has been dealing with the war of the Western Xia, and the minister thinks that it is better to let the Seed Master Dao try it." Li Fu said calmly. He is a literati, but he is also a member of the Li family, he knows the thoughts of Zhao Ding and others, and he wants to use this matter to pull Li Qiao off the horse, at least to give the generals a good look.

"What should be the situation in Western Xia?" Li Jing knocked on the table, but did not agree, nor did he deny the other party, but just frowned and asked. Who to let lead the army to fight, Li Jing has nothing, but how to solve the current matter is the most important, the situation in Western Xia is like a pile of dry firewood, if you are not careful, it will turn into a raging fire, and the entire Western Xia will be ignited, and even Li Jing will suffer.

"The minister thinks that he can follow the example of Song Taizu in destroying Shu back then." Zhao Ding thought for a while and said.

"Shu is cowardly and incompetent, so it can treat Shu with the method of Huairou, but the Xixia Kingdom is different, the Xixia people are brave and good at fighting, even if they use the method of Huairou, I am afraid it will be useless." Li Fu thought about it and said, but in fact, he was tactfully opposing Zhao Ding's idea.

"Whether it is the Tangut people, or the Khitan people, or even the Jin people, they are all aliens, and the most admired by the aliens is the strong, since they are strong, then they must use the means of the strong." Li Jing said coldly: "It's not that Li Qiao kills people, but that there are fewer people killed, if this king needs to kill people like that, anyone who dares to resist this king is a capital crime." ”

"Your Majesty." Everyone was stunned and couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

"Passed the decree, ascended the throne and became emperor two days later, three days later, 40,000 guards left Bianjing, Liang Zhong stayed in Beijing, 50,000 led the army of the seed master to sit in Xingyang, Hu Yanzhuo led 40,000 to sit in Luoyang, Wu Jue led 30,000 to sit in Jingchengguan, Luan Tingyu was the chief general of Taiyuan, and Xiao Wei continued to sit in Yunzhou." Li Jing took the red pen on the side and quickly wrote a holy decree.

"Passed the decree, canonized Li Dingbei, the son of the king, as the king of Qin, and on the day of my conquest of Western Xia, he supervised the country. In addition to Zhao Ding, the scholars of Qilin Pavilion assisted the King of Qin and dealt with the government affairs. Zhao Ding, a scholar of Qilin Pavilion, accompanied the army. Li Jing took another brocade box, put the holy decree into it, beckoned Du Xing, and said: "Put this will into the Fengxian Palace, if I really encounter an accident, the auxiliary minister of the Qilin Pavilion can open the brocade box and assist the new lord to ascend the throne." ”

"Your Majesty." Li Fu and others were stunned by Li Jing's vigorous and resolute actions, but they didn't expect Li Jing to issue such a will before he ascended the throne, canonizing Li Dingbei as the king of Qin, this is the only prince canonized among Li Jing's sons, and in fact, he also established the position of the crown prince.

"Why, isn't it an auspicious day for the zodiac in two days?" Li Jing glanced at Gongsun Sheng and said, "I remember the time sent by Qin Tianjian, and the day after tomorrow is also an auspicious day for the zodiac!" ”

"Although the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day for the zodiac, it's just that some etiquette is not ready yet, minister, minister is worried." Gongsun Sheng didn't expect Li Jing to be in such a hurry, this enthronement hall is child's play, so naturally he has to be more prepared.

"As long as you want to prepare, you can naturally be ready the day after tomorrow." Li Jing said indifferently: "The long-term stability of a dynasty does not depend on whether the enthronement ceremony is grand, but whether the emperor can better govern the world." ”

"Yes, the minister will urge the Ministry of Rites as soon as he goes down." Everyone was stunned and hurriedly said.

"Okay, that's it." Li Jing patted his thigh and stood up, and everyone knew that the discussion was over, so they hurriedly retreated.
