Chapter 37 Resignation

Li Er picked up the wine buds on the table, and was just about to drink them all, when he suddenly put them down again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info This move suddenly made Li Yuan, who was sitting on the dragon throne, frown, could it be that the second child was dissatisfied and wanted to take advantage of this? The ministers were also silent for a while, not knowing what the purpose of King Qin's move was.

"Father!" Li Er got up and saluted Li Yuan, "Since the beginning of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, the sons and daughters have been fighting abroad all the year round, so that they are tired and suffering from dark diseases. ”

......As soon as Li Er's words fell, a sound of discussion rose in the Taiji Hall. King Qin is resigning from the military? This...... Our ears are right, right? The ministers looked at each other, unable to believe what they were hearing.

Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong and other generals changed their faces greatly, in order to achieve the expected effect, Li Er did not inform the generals of the news in advance before this, so as soon as these words were raised, all the generals were shocked.

Even Li Jiancheng, who was sitting opposite Li Er, was at a loss, and Li Er's request made him confused, frowning and thinking hard about Li Er's intentions.

Wang Mai had no choice but to pretend to be surprised, he was too close to Lao Li's position, if his expression was different, he was afraid that someone would notice it. However, his acting skills are very touching, but at this time, the Taiji Hall is already in chaos, but there is nothing too abrupt.

"No!" Qu Tutong stood up, "There are Turks in the north, Liang in the south, the Tang Dynasty is still surrounded by strong enemies, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is in the prime of life, and he is the pillar of the country, how can he easily resign?" Qu Tutong was the secretary of the military department and one of Li Er's supporters, so he was the first to stand up and reject this request. He also thought that Li Er was expressing his dissatisfaction with the reward, so he asked for his resignation, afraid that the emperor would really agree to come down, so he took the lead in finding a step for Li Er.

"That's right!"

"King Qin must not be so ......"

All of a sudden, the opposition came one after another, most of them were military generals who had something to do with Li Er, these people had long stood under Li Er's command, and now King Qin suddenly made this request, and subconsciously jumped out to oppose it.

"Jiang Guogong's words are also wrong!" A loud voice drowned out the voice of the minister's discussion. Everyone looked at the source of the voice, Li Yuanji was putting down the wine in his hand and arching his hand towards Li Yuan: "The second brother has been fighting on the battlefield for many years and has been injured several times. "Li Yuanji is obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open, how can Liang Guo not mention it for the time being, just one Turk is enough for the Tang Dynasty to drink a pot.

Because of the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the strength of the Eastern Turks entered a new peak under the leadership of Shibi Khan, the country was very strong, its land east to the Liaohai, south to the desert, north to the North Sea 5,000 miles, Khitan, Murwei, Tuyuhun, Gaochang are all subordinate, the number of people who control the strings has reached more than one million, the prosperity of the North Di, the eternal has not existed. Xue Ju, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Liu Wuzhou and others in the Central Plains have all been vassals to Shibi Khan, and even the Tang Dynasty at the beginning of the army was not spared. Only then was he able to drive straight forward and quickly capture Chang'an.

However, the alliance between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks soon broke down, in the second year of Wude, the Turks saw that the Tang Dynasty was powerful, and there was a faint tendency to unify the world, so they tore up the covenant, and Shi Bi personally led the people to cross the river and capture Jiezhou, but fortunately four months later, Shi Bi was seriously ill and died, and the Turks retreated, and the Tang Dynasty was also relieved.

Last year, Li Er led the army to the east to conquer Luoyang, and the Turks were ready to move, and the younger brother of Shibi, Luo Khan, raised the banner of "opposing the Tang Dynasty and recovering the Sui", and established Yang Zhengdao, the widow of the king of Sui Qi, as the king of Sui, and led the army to invade Huairong, Yanmen, Lingwu, and Liangzhou. At that time, it was the critical period of the Battle of Luoyang, the Tang Dynasty was empty, and Li Yuan moved the idea of letting his son withdraw from the army.

In order to guard against the invasion of the Turks, the Manchu dynasty has tightened a string up and down, but now it is understated by Li Yuanji, and everyone naturally disagrees. However, since ancient times, China has regarded itself as the superior country of the Celestial Empire, despises those barbarians, and admits that it is very difficult to admit that the strength is not as good as others.

Li Yuan didn't come back to his senses in shock, Li Er's actions were too unexpected, and Pei Lin next to him coughed: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi is reasonable, since the King of Qin is infected with a dark disease, he should indeed focus on cultivating his body, and the King of Qin will fight for my Tang Dynasty in all directions, if it falls into any disease because of this, it will be a loss to the imperial court." "He has always been not very good with Li Er, he is a solid supporter of Li Jiancheng, and he thinks hard about weakening Li Er's power on weekdays, but Li Er's credit is great, although he is young, but he is old and spicy, and it is difficult for people to catch any handles. Now Li Er has submitted his resignation, and he has made excuses, although I don't know why he did this, but as the saying goes, Tianyu will not take it but take the blame, no matter what Li Er's intentions are, let's try to see if he can take down his military power, what if it succeeds?

The generals were secretly anxious when they saw that the situation was turning against Li Er, but Li Er kept his head down and did not speak, waiting for Li Yuan's decision.

After listening to Pei Lian's words, Li Yuan had already calmed down at this time: "Since the King of Qin is suffering from a dark disease, I just allow you to recuperate at home, why do you want to resign from the military?" Lao Li has his own considerations, his first feeling is that Li Er is expressing dissatisfaction, frankly speaking, he does feel a little ashamed of Li Er, but since ancient times, the eldest son has been the heir, the eldest Li Jiancheng is respectful, generous and benevolent, and is the best candidate for the king of Shoucheng.

The military talent of the second child is indeed high, but Li Yuan's cousin Yang Guang is a monarch with great achievements, but because of his great achievements, the good situation of the Great Sui Dynasty was buried, and he was afraid that handing over the hard-fought rivers and mountains to Li Secondhand would follow in Yang Guang's footsteps. Since the time of his grandfather Li Hu, in just a hundred years, the Central Plains has experienced several dynastic changes, and as a founding monarch with aspirations for a thousand years, he cannot but learn this lesson.

Frankly speaking, he was happy to see Li Er's resignation from the military, but he was afraid that Li Er was not sincere, and if this matter spread, outsiders would think that the imperial court had brought meritorious heroes, which was also extremely unfavorable to the reputation of the Tang Dynasty.
