Chapter 792: The Wrath of the Son of Heaven

At the time of the court meeting, the civil and military officials were divided into two teams according to their ranks, the eldest grandson Wuji ranked first among the civil officials, and Li Xiu followed, but at this time, Li Xiu suddenly found that in the opposite team of military generals, there was a person who had been staring at him, which made him look up at the other party. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I saw that this military general was about thirty or forty years old, with a long face, thin eyes, hooked nose, a shrewd and capable appearance, and a purple robe on his body, indicating that his status was not low, in fact, in the team of military generals, this very elite military general ranked fifth, and in front of him was Cheng Yanjin, who was familiar to Li Xiu, although some generals such as Li Jing usually did not go to court, but this person was able to rank in the top five It is enough to show his identity.

"Brother Wuji, who is the fifth person among the generals?" At this time, Li Xiu asked the eldest grandson Wuji, who was watching his performance, he knew many generals, but he had never seen each other, and the other party had already shifted his attention at this time.

Eldest Sun Wuji also looked up when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then said with a smile: "He is the most recent figure in our Tang Dynasty, he destroyed Tuyuhun in a battle before, and the horse must have heard of him!" ”

"It turns out that he is Hou Junji!" Li Xiu couldn't help but look at Hou Junji not far away again when he heard this, he has also been famous for a long time for Hou Junji, but the other party is stationed outside most of the time, so Li Xiu has nothing to do with the other party, but he didn't expect to see the other party at this court meeting.

In addition, Li Xiu quickly thought that Hou Junji had always served as the general of the commanding party, but since the destruction of Tuyuhun, he has been staying in Chang'an, it seems that Hou Junji's use of smallpox in Tuyuhun has not had any impact on him, after all, for a military general like Hou Junji, the real useful place is the frontier, and the military generals who have stayed in Chang'an for many years are either old and ready to retire, or the court is not ready to reuse, for example, Li Jing resigned to Li Shimin under the pretext of old age this year.

"Tubo Zampu already has a wife, are you sure?" At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji finally finished watching Li Xiu's recital, but he was still a little skeptical, after all, this matter was very important, and he had to be cautious.

"I'm very sure that the princess of Nepal had already married that Songtsen Gampo long ago, and there are many people who know about this matter in Tibet, just ask around!" Li Xiu nodded at this time and said very affirmatively.

"This ......" Eldest Sun Wuji once again showed a contemplative expression when he heard Li Xiu's answer, and then said with a wry smile, "Although Tubo Zampu's move is indeed a bit bold, but the harmony is originally for political purposes, and sometimes it doesn't care whether the other party is married or not, but if the horse pokes this out directly, I'm afraid that Tubo will not want to make peace with our Tang Dynasty in the future!" ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty has no intention of marrying Tubo, otherwise you wouldn't have been prevaricating that Lu Dongzan, and now I poke things out, just let Tubo die of this heart, and it can be regarded as helping Your Majesty!" Li Xiu smiled slyly at this time.

Li Shimin does not have any plans to make peace with Tubo now, but it does not mean that he will not change his mind in the future, for example, in the original history, after Tubo's first request for peace was refused, Songtsen Gampo was so angry that he actually raised troops to attack Songzhou of the Tang Dynasty, and said that if the Tang Dynasty did not marry the princess, then he would go to Chang'an to marry in person.

At that time, Songtsen Gampo did not know the strength gap between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, and his so-called arrogance was just a ridiculous Yelang arrogant words, not long after he invaded the Tang Dynasty, he was defeated by Hou Junji and others, and the head of thousands of Tubo troops was cut off in a war, which made Songtsan Gampo understand the gap between the two sides, and hurriedly asked the Tang Dynasty for peace, and sent countless gold and jewelry, which was forgiven by Li Shimin, and later he asked for marriage many times, Li Shimin out of the idea of winning over Tubo, this Princess Wencheng married Songtsan Gampo.

But now Li Xiu directly poked out the fact that Songtsen Gampo had married a wife, but it suddenly cut off the possibility of peace between the two parties, after all, Datang also has to take care of his own face, and it is absolutely impossible to marry the princess as a concubine, even if Songtsen Gampo divorces the princess of the Nibhara now, after all, you can divorce others now, and you may also divorce the princess of Datang in the future, with the temper of those officials in the court, as long as Li Xiu pokes out this matter, he will not have to worry about it in the future.

When speaking, the Taiji Hall in front of it finally arrived, the civil and military officials rushed in, at this time the dragon chair was still empty, and after everyone entered the main hall, only to see Li Shimin wearing a dragon robe from the apse, and then the monarch and the ministers saluted, and then sat down.

Different from the court meeting in the historical drama of later generations, the monarchs and ministers of the court meeting at this time in the Tang Dynasty all had seats, so Li Xiu and they all sat in the hall according to the official rank after saluting, and it was not until this time that Li Shimin also saw Li Xiu next to the eldest grandson Wuji, and he was also stunned at the moment, it is estimated that he never dreamed that Li Xiu would take the initiative to participate in the court meeting.

The court meeting is not as casual as it was played in the TV series of later generations, but each court meeting has special topics, some of these topics are prepared by Li Shimin himself, and some are temporarily proposed by the ministers below, for these issues, the officials at the court meeting have the right to express their opinions, but as for how to decide, it depends on the opinions of Li Shimin and several prime ministers.

Li Xiu has been slightly closed since he entered the main hall, and he has not been in a hurry to send his own recital, for those issues raised at the court, he has not expressed any opinions, and he has also remained silent The eldest grandson Wuji next to him, speaking of which, although the status of the eldest grandson Wuji is high, but since he was tabooed before, he had to resign from the phase, and he began to speak less in the court, so as not to cause gossip, but Li Shimin's trust in him has not decreased, and he will generally be summoned to the Liangyi Hall alone to discuss anything.

When today's topic was almost discussed, Li Xiu stood up and said to Li Shimin with his hand in his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to play!" ”

"Bring it on!" Li Shimin also waited for Li Xiu for a long time, and with his instructions, a small chamberlain immediately ran forward, and then took the fold in Li Xiu's hand, and then put it in front of Li Shimin, but Li Shimin did not look at the fold, but waited for Li Xiu's report, after all, the time for the court meeting was limited, and he could not waste time on reviewing the fold.

"Your Majesty, yesterday the Tibetan envoy went to visit the minister's mansion and said that he was asking for peace, but he was ordered by the minister to throw him out of the house, because as far as the minister knows, Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo has already married a wife, and now he has come to my Tang Dynasty to ask for marriage, his intentions can be punished, and please make a clear decision!" Li Xiu said very solemnly at this time.

"What?" As soon as Li Xiu's words came out, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning and said in disbelief, he really didn't know anything about this matter, and he didn't expect Tubo to be so bold. The surrounding ministers were also talking at this time, after all, the Tibetan envoys had made a request to the Tang Dynasty at the court meeting, although Li Shimin did not agree, but also set up a banquet to entertain the Tibetan envoys, but they did not expect that the Tibetan envoys came to cheat on marriage.

"Is this news reliable?" Li Shimin also asked with a calm face at this time, this matter is related to the face of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin is an extremely good-looking person, especially after defeating the Turks, his self-confidence is also extremely inflated, where can he tolerate being deceived by a small barbarian country like Tubo?

"The news is absolutely reliable, Songtsan Gampo took the princess of Nibhara in Tubo many people know, as long as you send someone to inquire, you can know, the Tibetan envoy Lu Dongzan is also relying on Tubo to be far away from my Tang Dynasty, and the border terrain is also very complicated, resulting in poor communication between the two countries, and I don't know about it, so I dare to ask the princess to marry!" Li Xiu said solemnly again.

"What a bold Tubo, come here, arrest the Tubo envoy for me!" Li Shimin was also very angry when he heard this, and immediately opened his mouth and ordered, according to Lu Dongzan's practice, he had already committed the crime of bullying the king, even if the other party was an envoy, he could not be easily let go because of this.

The Son of Heaven was angry, and the whole Chang'an was shaken, even if Li Xiu sat in the court, he could imagine that Jin Wuwei in Chang'an City was preparing to arrest people everywhere, even if Lu Dongzan noticed something bad yesterday, it was impossible for him to escape from the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so Li Xiu was not worried that the other party would flee at all, and even he felt that Yi Lu Dongzan was smart, and he should wait for someone to arrest him in the post house at this time, so that at least he could save some face.

However, Li Shimin's anger did not end because of this, and soon his eyes turned to the ranks of military generals, and then he spoke again: "Hou Junji obeys orders!" ”

"No!" Hou Junji was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Shimin's words, and then stood up and stepped forward in some surprise.

"I have appointed you as the chief of the Midao camp, and I will take office immediately, organize the array of troops on the border of Tibet, and prepare for the war!" Li Shimin spoke again, his eyes also flashing with a bit of murderous aura, as if he was ready to enter Tibet at any time. However, Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji below looked at each other and smiled, because they all knew that Li Shimin was just putting on a show, and it was impossible for him to really enter Tubo.

"Whoa!" Hou Junji also showed an ecstatic expression when he heard this, and immediately replied loudly, he was not at ease in Chang'an during this time, after all, as a military general, the frontier is where he can show his strength.

Hou Junji was only the first, and then several generals such as Niu Jinda and Liu Lan were also appointed, and they all went to the southwest, which seemed to be like several armies to encircle and suppress Tubo, which shocked the court.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw an inner attendant rushing from the apse, and then whispered a few words in a low voice to Li Shimin, only to see that Li Shimin's face immediately became very ugly, and then he ordered loudly: "Retreat from the dynasty, Li Xiu, the Duke of Yanguo, stay!" ”
