Chapter XXVI: The Turkic Invasion
After Li Shimin sat on the dragon case, His Royal Highness's civil and military officials stood on both sides, on the left and on the right. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Li Shimin enjoys this feeling of being on top, but he can't show a little joy on his face, he must maintain his majesty, why? glanced at Wei Zheng, who was standing with His Highness...
Wei Zheng did not bow his head in contemplation like others, but looked up at Li Shimin, as soon as Li Shimin and Wei Zheng's eyes made contact, they immediately looked ahead and sat upright. Wei Zheng was originally Li Jiancheng's crown prince Xian Ma, Li Shimin cherished talents, so he left him as a counselor, what does this counselor do? It's a speech official, if you see something that is not pleasing to the eye, you will refer to a book, and if someone is not pleasing to the eye, you will participate in another book.
Li Shimin relied on killing to fight for the upper position, this is originally criticized, this Wei Zheng is a stinky temper, stubborn, although he is obedient to Li Shimin, but from time to time he always has to find some small faults, what can not be played, Shang Zhi, can not be proud and complacent, can not sit at will when receiving ministers, etc., etc., Li Shimin is annoyed. I had the idea of killing him several times, but fortunately, there was a virtuous grandson who comforted Li Shimin and persuaded him not to kill a good talent by mistake, dispelling the idea of killing Li Shimin. is both love and hate for Wei Zheng and Li Shimin.
"Today, Jingzhou Tanmalai reported that the Turkic Khan Jieli took advantage of my new accession to the throne to send more than 100,000 troops to harass our Tang Dynasty, can the ministers have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to defend against the Turks, and kill him without leaving a piece of armor." Wei Chigong stepped out of the train road.
"The ministers have different opinions, the Turkic prisoners must be the right time, now Jingzhou soldiers and horses plus Chang'an can call less than 30,000 soldiers and horses, the Turks claim to be more than 100,000, 100,000 is always there, how to resist the enemy?" Fang Xuanling also walked out of the train and spoke.
"Your Majesty, my Datang has just calmed down, and now is the time to recuperate, coupled with the drought this year, the grain and grass can no longer afford a big war, so it's better to think of another countermeasure." The eldest grandson Wuji walked out of the train and said.
"Do you want the Turks to kill in Chang'an, I'm not afraid of death, I'm going to kill the Turks, you just hide behind." Cheng Yanjin shouted like a scoundrel.
"Cheng Pifu, you...... You" The eldest grandson was unclear and pointed at Cheng Biting Jin.
Fang Xuanling flicked the sleeves of his robe and snorted.
"What, if you want to duel with me, come on, come on, let me give you a hand."
"Hmph, old killer, I'm ashamed to talk to you."
"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead the troops there." Xue Wanche also stood up and said that he was new to Li Shimin and urgently needed a chance to express himself.
"No, the Turkic Jieli Khan has signed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, presumably it will not be invaded on a large scale, and at most it will leave after a few attacks, so we should wait and see what happens." Pei Lin suggested.
"Wait and see? The Turks are all killed, you have to wait and see what happens, it's not your house that is robbed, right? I just can't get used to you literati, I can only talk about it, and I kind of kill the Turks. Cheng Yanjin shouted.
"Old puppet, An dares to insult my literati," Kong Yingda pointed at Cheng Biting Jindao.
"Why, you're going to have to fight me too? Come on, don't say I'm bullying you, let you punch you three times first. "Cheng Biting Jin is also a bastard, Kong Yingda is already fifty and three this year, he is the thirty-first grandson of Kong Shengren, Wenwen is weak, how can he be worthy of Cheng Biting Jin's punch. The angry Kong Yingda trembled.
"Insulting Sven, insulting Sven......"
The generals here were flushed, looking up at the sky, the corners of their mouths twitched, and the civil officials all stared at Cheng Yanjin viciously, as if they were going to tear him apart. Cheng Biting Jin squinted at Kong Yingda like a victorious rooster.
Li Shimin saw that the troublemakers below were not like words, and knew that the court could not reach a result, so he said: "Okay, don't make a fool of yourself by biting Jin, Dr. Kong should not be like a bastard with him." Okay, let's retreat. ā
Li Shimin of the Mingde Hall of the East Palace sits in the hall, Li Jing, Li Ji, Yu Chigong, Cheng Biting Jin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the eldest grandson Wuji are among them, these people are the ministers of the humerus of the Tang Dynasty, although Li Shimin does not like the neutrality of Li Jing and Li Ji, and did not choose to help himself in Xuanwumen, but the two of them have made great achievements and are a generation of famous generals, Li Shimin still has to rely on the two of them, so he doesn't care.
"Now that the Turks are strong, is there a good way to retreat from the enemy?" Li Shimin looked around at a few people.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's better to negotiate peace." The eldest grandson, Wuji, spoke first.
Cheng Yanjin opened his mouth and didn't speak, stabbed Wei Chi Gong, and lost his eyes. Wei Chigong didn't see it, and ignored Cheng to bite the gold. Li Shimin glared at Cheng Yanjin fiercely, and Cheng Yanjin pursed his lips and did not speak.
"This peace discussion should also have a charter for peace, it should hurt the Turks, play the might of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not too late to discuss peace." Du Ruhui added.
"The weight of grain and grass can also support a war, but not for a long time, this year's drought in Guanzhong, the people in Guanzhong also need food, it is best to give it gold and silver, leaving food for emergencies." Fang Xuanling thought for a while.
Li Shimin nodded secretly, but as an immediate emperor, he was unwilling, which also ruined his reputation, so he turned his head to look at Li Jing and said, "Brother Jing, if you attack the Turks, will you have a chance of winning?" ā
Li Jing pondered silently and said: "If there are 50,000 elites, there is a chance of victory, but it will take at least ten days to mobilize soldiers and horses, and now that the Turks have attacked martial arts, I am afraid they will not give us time to mobilize troops and horses." ā
After hearing this, Li Ji nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty's first opportunity has been lost, so it is better to negotiate peace first for the future." ā
Cheng Biting Jin listened, slapped his thigh violently, and muttered: "This little rabbit cub is too accurate." ā
Several people were blinded by Cheng Biting Jin's actions, Li Shimin's face turned red and said with a little regret: "This Turkic invasion, when I was quelling the Xuanwumen rebellion, Zhijie had mentioned this matter, it was a critical period, and I ignored it, and then there was a rebellion in various places, I was busy with government affairs, and I forgot about the rebellion for a while, and I didn't remember it until today, hey!" ā
Hearing this, several people looked at Cheng Yanjin, as if they were looking at a rare treasure, but they didn't expect this bastard to have such talent. Cheng Yanjin's face was flushed when he was seen, but fortunately his face was darker and he couldn't see it, and he coughed to ease the atmosphere: "I didn't mention this matter..."
"Let's just say it, how can Cheng Heizi have such an eye." Wei Chigong pouted.
"Big old black, what are you yelling about, do you want to listen to me." Several people glared at Wei Chigong, who was about to fight back, but Li Shimin stopped him, and Cheng Yanjin continued: "This matter has to start from the time I went to Jingyang...... That's the way it is, after the Xuanwu Gate, I said that I listened to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty praised that kid vigorously. Cheng Yanjin completely forgot the instructions at the time and directly threw Li Che out.
When a few people heard this, they were also surprised, and they secretly regretted that if they had been a few days earlier, they would not have been so defenseless, and the scene was silent for a while.
"Your Majesty, since this son has such a great talent, he is not weak enough to be entrusted with it." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile on his face.
"No, this son is only ten years old, and he shouldn't enter the career early, too early will do all kinds of harm and no benefit." Du Ruhui stopped.
"According to my old Cheng, it's better to throw him to Guozi to study, learn for a long time, and it's not too late. A little doll is still making such a big move. ā
Fang Xuanling, who had not spoken beside him, suddenly said: "Since Your Majesty is hesitant, why don't you go and ask this son and take the school exam, okay?" ā
Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he made a decision in his heart.
