Chapter 254: Never Old (1)

When I wrote about the Qinling, I thought of an interesting thing, before the Lu family made a move on the Qinling, there were already some arrangements, but the Qinling thought that the orphans and widows were easy to bully and died carelessly. So I thought of Pei Yan, Li Xian and others, who were accomplices and not the main culprits. But as one of the three ministers, Li Xianzhi's abolition of Pei Yan is the culprit of the helmet, and he wants to oppose the military (dizzy, such a person was actually written as a positive character by history). Did he think that when he fell Li Xian, he thought that Li Dan, who supported the young man, came to power, and the orphans and widows were easy to bully, and then felt that Wu Zetian couldn't control it, and he wanted to fall again? didn't do anything, so he let Wu Zetian kill him. Wu Lu and Wu Zetian were one east and one west, and they also killed many ministers when they were in power, and their governing achievements were acceptable. It is really two heroines, one in the east and one in the west, attracting tens of millions of heroes to bend their waists, coquettish and coquettish.

======

August comes osmanthus fragrant, several golden cinnamon and silver cinnamon are hung with small golden and white stars, a little cool down the wind blows, a piece of gold rain and silver rain, one after another, poetry, stars, leisurely falling, the fragrance overflows.

Li Xian personally sent everyone out and said in a low voice: "Everyone, please leave it to you." ”

"This is the duty of a minister." One by one, he replied, and left.

Walking into the house, Fang said: "Your Highness, the concubine always feels a little bad. ”

Li Xian was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered all the love that his eldest brother had given him in the past few years, and lowered his head and remained silent. Or, as my mother said, I am not qualified to talk about the word charity. After most of the day, he said: "If it becomes a ...... in the future I will treat my sisters-in-law and nephews well. ”

Fang's heart was a little cold, you have treated your eldest brother like this today, and he will be able to treat those ladies in the East Palace well in the future. But it's always her husband, she also knows the cruelty of politics, his hands are soft, he is not dead, tomorrow you can only wait for death, it is also silent, and after a long time, she sighed faintly: "Either don't do it, don't regret it." ”

Li Xian's mouth opened, still ashamed, and he didn't have the face to say it again, but he did it, so he left the room, called a servant, and said: "You immediately ride a fast horse, and rush to Shenzhou in the starry night, the sooner the better, and give this letter to Ming Chongyan." ”

The letter asked Ming Chongyan for money, and gave Ming Chongyan an accurate answer, as long as Li Zhi was sick, he would immediately mobilize everyone to advise him and let him return to the capital. These are high-sounding words, but they are also prepared to do so.

The other is money, there is a lot of money to ask for, and the specific purpose is not told to Ming Chongyan, but it is clearly said that at least two thousand gold must be prepared, and the more the better. But there is a premise, you can't delay a day, and you have to send the gold to Chang'an immediately after receiving the letter. Of course, I also said that I know in my heart, and if it is in the future, it will make you get your wish and so on.

The servant rode away, and Li Xian didn't say anything for a long time, this is really a stretched bow, and the arrow has been released, and he can't take it back if he wants to.

……

At the beginning of the court, Li Zhi was very happy and read out the good news again. In fact, many copies were sent before, and important officials, as well as the East Palace, sent someone to send a copy. After reading it, Zheng Tai immediately walked out and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play. ”

"Come on."

Zheng Tai said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not think it is a victory, as the good news said, the people killed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are all Tuyuhun people, and there are very few Tubo soldiers. Tuyuhun is a member of the Nuo Hao Bowl, and Xue Rengui did not kill innocents indiscriminately when he conquered Qinghai. ”

Before his words fell, Li Yiyan couldn't help but interject: "According to Zheng Yushi's opinion, could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard Su Hegui's army claim that he wanted to slaughter the city in blood, and then ordered all the soldiers in the city not to resist, holding a book of Analects, and personally went outside the city to read to Su Hegui what is benevolence and what is righteousness?" ”

The voice was not loud, and the ministers in front of him all laughed, and Wu Zetian was very unpleasant to see Li Yiyan, but this time he was actually happy behind the curtain.

"......" Zheng Dang was dumbfounded for a while, and then said: "Just as Li Xianggong said, the minister still has something to do, at that time, the enemies in the city have killed each other, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was indecisive for a long time, and it took several hours before he gave the order to speak, so that the surrenderer could open the door and accept the surrender." This move is also hurtful. ”

"I understand, do you mean that at that time, the city was filled with gunsmoke, and it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me, for the sake of your heavenly peace," Li Yiyan bit your word extremely hard, and continued: "Then in order to have the possibility to save those hundreds of Tubo Tuyuhun soldiers who stubbornly resisted to the bottom, you have to sacrifice the lives of hundreds, or even thousands, of my Tang Dynasty soldiers at the risk of their safety, and take the risk to persuade them?" ”

Then he shook his head and said: "The population of Tuyuhun and Tubo is small, and the people of our Tang Dynasty have a large population, so no one's life is precious, cheap!" ”

I don't know if what he said was cheap, whether he meant the cheap life of the Tang Dynasty or the cheap Zheng Tai.

knew that Li Yiyan was mocking him, but Zheng Tai was speechless.

If he grasps this, he can't hit Li Wei. There is no difference between being captured and being killed, such as the small battle in Chiling, or the battle in Hongji Bridge, even if the truth of the matter is revealed, the problem does not matter. At most, it had a slight impact on the prince's reputation for benevolence, but it was a means to the enemy, not to his own people. Of course, if you are like Xue Rengui and accept the surrender of others, but learn from Xiang Yu and Bai Qi, it is possible that you will be attacked by the minister.

He couldn't say where he was standing, Zhang Da'an relieved him and said, "It's all a trivial matter, and the minister is only worried about other things." ”

This is the real Tang Dynasty's grand court meeting, Zheng Tai has done something, and he stepped forward with a tooth wat in his hand, and the other ministers are discussing, but they don't need to stand in front of Li Zhi one by one to explain.

"What are you worried about?" This time, Li Zhi rubbed his head, the court was divided, it was good for him to be in power, but political affairs would be dragged down.

"What the minister is worried about is Tuntian, relocation, and the future. Tuntian helped, the most cumbersome materials transported to the front were grain and grass, although the number of soldiers did not increase, but a large number of war horses were added, with Tuntian, this crisis can be solved next year. Even if you don't fight in the future, you don't have to worry about the supply of food and grass when you send soldiers to guard it. But it is okay to use it for military purposes, but the prince wants to divide the soldiers and relocate the people. How many family members are there among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers? Besides, Qinghai is cold, and the soldiers are not suitable for it, how can women, children, and children survive on it? This is one of them, and the other is that according to the theory of His Royal Highness the Prince, even if the court does not hesitate to consume it with a heavy burden, it is not a year or two, the court has to summon the prince back, so many soldiers, who will be the commander-in-chief? ”

Zhang Da'an played a slippery head here, although it is the Yongwang Party, but the prime minister, he can't be too obvious, so he focuses on it lightly and says these two points.

Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "This is okay, Hong'er has already made it clear on the good news, this matter will be discussed until next year, and only when the cultivation is mature, the rivers and rivers are connected, and the rear is worry-free, can the people be relocated." Those who wish will come, and those who do not want cannot be forced. It's not a war, it needs to be completely healthy, except for a few people, the majority of the people just don't adapt, and after the adaptation period, they will be fine. It was written in the newspaper, and you didn't think about it. As for the future, it is still a long time, and there is no need to rush to discuss it. ”

"Yes."

Li Zhengan, the widow of Zuo, stood up, held the tooth wat and said, "The minister also has a book of marches. ”

"Come on."

"The minister thought that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was rare for our dynasty to send so many large armies to conquer a barbarian department, and today sent 180,000 troops to Qinghai to conquer Qinghai, and the treasury was empty, and even in order to transport supplies, he did not hesitate to delay the agricultural production in Guanzhong, and more than 100,000 families were scattered. This is in order to defeat the Tubo people, not necessarily to annihilate the Tubo, but also to completely expel the Tubo people from Tuyuhun and support the Nuo Hao Bo Khan to return to Qinghai. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the idea of His Royal Highness the Prince, maybe it is right, but it is only Tuntian, if the Tubo people can't attack, is it a lifetime to go down to Tuntian, and sit and watch the Tubo people control Tuyuhun. If it spreads, how do the various Fan Hu view our Tang Dynasty? Although the battle of Shancheng was gratifying, Kechen thought that there was no need to be overjoyed, but only the Tuyuhun people were completely annihilated, not the Tubo people. The imperial court also sent troops against the Tubo people, not the Tuyuhun people. The minister thought that it was possible to send some large troops while defending, without going to Wuhai, but at least to reach Dafeichuan and achieve one or two great victories, so that other Hu Fan would not underestimate it, and at the same time make a statement. ”

"Presumptuous, do you want the prince to be in danger alone?" Wu Zetian suddenly said behind the curtain. This has never been the case, she used to listen to politics behind the curtain, most of them did not speak, and when Li Zhi did not hear clearly, or had confused questions, she whispered to Li Zhi behind the curtain.

She is very satisfied with the current situation, the eldest son is in great danger, and he is gone, so he can slowly "clean up the good rivers and mountains", and it is only defense-oriented, supplemented by offense, and her son's life is guaranteed to be worry-free. The unfilial second son will not succeed.

But these Yongwang Party members are punishable. After Wu Zetian finished drinking, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he moved to kill.

Pei Yan was silent, but he sneered in his heart, this group of people can't achieve great things. How so? The queen didn't mention it, and the emperor was satisfied, he didn't reject the eldest son's succession, otherwise the prince rebelled several times, just suppressed, and did not abolish it, it was because he valued his talent. But in the capital, the emperor has always been restless, and now he is in Qinghai. A quick victory, a big defeat, life will be in danger, the emperor does not want such a result. Either the emperor will return with a big victory, or the emperor will either abdicate and concede, or the father and son will face off, and see who will kill the deer, which is not what the emperor wants to see.

When his son arrived in Qinghai and came up with this method, how could Li Zhi not be happy, his life was guaranteed, such a business, no three or two years without success, at least in the past three or two years, no one competed with him for the throne. As for this Yongwang, it's too tender.

The holy will was not clear, and he fired at the prince indiscriminately, no, Li Xian! There are a lot of people, but among the people who can be gathered, there is a lack of capable generals, no matter who the final winner of this game is, but it will never be Li Xian's turn.

Li Zhengan stubbornly said: "The queen of heaven, the minister is dissatisfied with the evaluation of the queen of heaven. The minister just said the truth, and did not ask the prince to go out in person, how can there be a saying that he is alone and in danger? ”

Hao Chujun couldn't listen to it anymore, and said: "Li Shigui, the queen of heaven's words are quite pertinent. In Qinghai, there are the brothers of the Lun family, both of whom are unparalleled heroes for a while. There are many reasons for Xue Rengui's defeat, but we cannot ignore the role of the Qinling. On Qinling has returned to Tibet to recruit a large number of troops, and in Qinghai, tens of thousands of Tibetan troops have been stationed. This time, it was menacing, and the number of troops was only a lot more than that of our Tang Dynasty. Forced to play, the outcome is unpredictable. If you just divide your troops lightly, you will be completely wiped out by the Tibetans. Or is it like when Guo was encircled, whether the prince saved it or not, wouldn't it be a lonely danger to save it? It's just that the prince is rational and ruthless and does not save him, the army that was divided was annihilated, and the land of Hehuang was empty, how to defend it? lost Hehuang and returned defeated, how did the prince explain to the world. The former is alone in danger, and the latter will inevitably be held responsible, and the crown prince can even be deposed. The minister doesn't know much about military affairs, but this simple truth can still be understood. It's still light for the queen of heaven to comment on you like this. ”

This is politics, Hao Chujun and Wu Zetian are mortal enemies, but at this moment, they have come to a front to join forces.

In fact, he may not think so far-reaching, but Pei Xingjian visited them one by one and analyzed the situation in Qinghai from one by one, so he said this very methodically.

Li Zhengan didn't know how to answer, his eyes looked at the other people, and the others also frowned. In fact, you can make some articles, and in the end it will be a big victory, and the prince has a reason to speak. Zhang Da Annu pouted and motioned for him to stop talking. There is another arrangement, but not many people know about it.

Li Zhi was already displeased, snorted lightly, and said: "As a left-hand picker, you should speak squarely, and you must not discuss state affairs in private." Tubo has 400,000 Jiaxian, all of which are better than ***, is it a small barbarian? ”

As an emperor, it is impossible to say foul words such as your kid with bad intentions, this is already very serious.

"Yes," Li Zhengan retreated in fear.

Pei Yan raised his tooth wat and stood up and said, "The minister also has a copy." ”

All the ministers looked at him strangely, Pei Yan was an official and competent, and there were not many people who were evil to him, but they knew that his relationship with the prince was very bad, and they looked at him together, wanting to hear what to say.

"Pei Qing, please play."

The minister thought that the reason for these controversies was caused by the prince's personal conquest. What the prince should learn is the way to govern the country, there are civil ministers in civil affairs, and military generals in border affairs, but there is no need for the prince to go on an expedition. Success is certainly a blessing for the country, but failure will have unimaginable consequences. Anything can happen when the war is dangerous. Now that the prince has been going to Qinghai for more than a month, everything has been arranged, and he has also won a beautiful victory, and it is the right time to come back at this time. ”

This advice is very helpful to Li Wei, he has only been going for a month, and he has won a beautiful battle, and if he stays, he will make meritorious service and be the prince. If it fails, no matter what the result is, it will be detrimental to the status of the crown prince. It is best for the prince to return to the capital.

Wu Zetian's beautiful eyes flashed, and he was very satisfied in his heart, Pei Yan would not help his son, it seemed that he understood what he meant, and said again behind the curtain: "Pei Qing's words are also in line with the heart of the palace." ”

Is the mother and son harmonious, by the way, this little problem is used as a ball and kicked to the husband.

But in this way, everyone is even more incomprehensible.

Li Zhi turned his head to look at his wife, his mouth opened, and he didn't say anything, but the wisdom was still there. Pei Yan said this, which was quite appreciated by him, this is a courtier, his son has done something wrong, and he will not admonish him because his son rejects him. If the son does the right thing, he will not be praised because of rejection. But my son is safe in Qinghai now, and he doesn't want to be recalled.

But this is unspeakable.

Staring at the ministers, his eyes glanced at it, and he saw Zhang Da'an, he couldn't summon it, but he could ask Li Yan, pardon Chu Jun and other prime ministers, and he would undoubtedly agree immediately. So I found Zhang Da'an and asked, "Zhang Qing, what do you think?" ”
