57 The Imperial Council inside and outside the Taiji Palace
"Those remnants of the Turks are not a problem at all, and now that they have that grenade, why not annihilate them in one fell swoop. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Yizhen, the remnants of the Turks are not terrible, but the problem of insufficient military food ......"
When the group was led outside the Taiji Palace, the voices of discussing state affairs came out in an endless stream, and it was Cheng Yanjin who was arrogant in front of him who said that he would annihilate the remnants of the Turks in one fell swoop, and then it was General Li Jing Li who was worried about the problem of grain and grass.
The attendant motioned for Principal Rabbit and the others to wait for a moment, and let him in to make a report.
So a few people stood outside the hall and listened for a while, and probably listened to several problems faced by the Tang Dynasty in the current war against the Turks.
"The Weishui Alliance has been dissolved, and Datang is still short of food?" Ye Xiaojun still knows a little about the war, or he is not worthy of his title of pseudo-military fan, "I remember that it was because of the continuous harassment and looting of the Turks that caused the people of the Tang Dynasty to live in poverty, and many people even starved to death, how could I ......?"
Principal Rabbit stood at the front, squinting and listening to Ye Xiaojun for a long time, and finally understood where Ye Xiaojun's focus was. He stretched out a hand and slightly stopped Ye Xiaojun from continuing, explaining: "After the Weishui Alliance, a large part of the reason why the Tang Dynasty was trapped and lacked food and materials was because the Turks were right, but the Tang Dynasty itself at that time also had problems. β
The people in the Tai Chi Hall discussed fiercely, outside the Tai Chi Hall, several of them were also analyzing the situation in front of them, and the attendants who were waiting on the side first stood there quietly as if I hadn't heard anything, but after hearing it, they all forgot their duties, and actually raised their heads.
Lafon stood aside and saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to block the squire, squeezing his eyebrows at Principal Rabbit, signaling him to "have ears on the wall".
Principal Rabbit turned his head and glanced at the attendant who was blocked by Lafang, then chuckled, shook his head slightly to indicate that it didn't matter, and then continued: "There is nothing to say to people, what we are talking about is what Datang will be like when the Weishui Alliance happens." Now, the Weishui Alliance no longer exists in a sense, and the Turkic remnants are likely to strike again because of the calendar, and it is likely that it is due to some other reason. β
Zhang Xiaoguang once found Li Shimin's spies when he was talking to Principal Rabbit at night, but at that time, Principal Rabbit said that let them listen, and some things couldn't be hidden anyway. So he didn't think it was anything about the attendants eavesdropping on the side, so he followed Principal Rabbit's words and continued to ask: "Then you mean, no matter whether the Weishui Alliance happens or not, the lack of food in Datang is unchangeable?" β
"I don't know much about the situation now, but it was really difficult at the time." At that time, Principal Rabbit said, it was naturally when the Weishui Alliance happened, and there was a period of time after that, if it weren't for Li Shimin's patience to stabilize the domestic situation, while developing the economy, and accumulating strength, there would not have been that big victory after the humiliation. "As long as there is a war, there is no shortage of food, by the way, the salt in our house is really not good, you should mention it to the queen mother again."
Originally, he was talking about the problem of grain and grass, but Principal Rabbit somehow, as soon as the conversation turned to the issue of salt, Zhang Xiaoguang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and agreed.
"Ho labor, have they finished the discussion?" Lafon leaned against a pillar, and since Principal Rabbit didn't mind the attendants eavesdropping, he didn't bother to meddle with his business, so he found a place to be lazy early. But now they are almost discussed, why the people inside haven't finished discussing yet, and no one has come to let them in or anything.
"San Lang, how many immortals are here too?" Li Yuan walked out of a corner and greeted everyone from a distance, without the posture of an emperor at all, but it really felt like an uncle next door.
The attendants had all bowed down and saluted, only the four of them were still standing upright, and Lafon did not even change his posture of leaning against the pillars, but only nodded as a greeting. Li Yuan didn't care about these either, and with a wave of his hand, he made everyone retreat, saying that they were just waiting for the second child here.
After all the attendants retreated, Li Yuan didn't look at the others, but only stepped forward and stood side by side with Principal Rabbit in front of the gate of the Taiji Hall. Zhang Xiaoguang was originally standing on the left hand side of Principal Rabbit, and when he saw that the two of them looked like they obviously had something to say, he stepped back and stood by the pillar with Ye Xiaojun and Lafang to be lazy.
"What do you think the two of them are going to say?" La Fang lowered her voice and asked, "Why is this Li Yuan here?" β
Ye Xiaojun turned his head and glanced at Li Yuan and Principal Rabbit, motioned for the two to get closer, and then said, "I guess Li Shimin asked us to come in and has something to do with the grenade, but Li Yuan's appearance is a little puzzling." β
"How?" As soon as Zhang Xiaoguang heard that he had something to do with Li Yuan, he immediately became interested, but he always suspected that someone was using Li Yuan's name to lead him into a game, and this was also said to Principal Rabbit, and now even Ye Xiaojun can see the problem, does that mean that his guess is right. No, Principal Rabbit said that if all suspicions are eliminated, the remaining one is the truth, that is, it is really Li Yuan who wants to find himself......
Zhang Xiaoguang instantly surrounded himself in a daze, and when he came back to his senses, he only heard the last few words Ye Xiaojun said - extinguishing his ambition.
"Whose ambition?"
As soon as these words came out, they were exchanged for the two white eyes of Ye Xiaojun and La Fang, this thing must have been distracted again, it was rare for Ye Xiaojun to use his brain to analyze it once, he was so faceless, so he would not say it again if he killed Ye Xiaojun.
At this time, the door of the main hall opened, Li Yuan moved half a step forward slightly, and Principal Rabbit took half a step back without a trace. It seems that not only the topic of Ye Xiaojun and the other three has come to an end, but the topic of the previous two has also been talked about almost over, and it is time to enter the hall.
"What did you say?" Ye Xiaojun came to Principal Rabbit's side, what did Li Yuan say to Principal Rabbit for such a long time, and most of the court discussions were told by them.
Principal Rabbit made a silent gesture and pointed to the people in the Taiji Hall, now is not the time to say this. Ye Xiaojun was right to think about it, let's ask these words later, let's see what Li Shimin wants to do first.
After entering the hall, a group of people were busy saluting, this and this for a while, and that and this for a while, and for a while, what was the matter, in short, it made the four Principal Rabbit dizzy, and they didn't know what the order of this salute was. Fortunately, Li Shimin had already exempted a few people from the ceremony, so they stood abruptly in place, without doing anything, and when the ceremony was finished, they stood in a relatively high position under Li Shimin's signal.
"The minister has something to do." After Li Shimin's afterglow swept over, the Ministry of Industry immediately stood up from the crowd, and after Li Shimin played on board, he turned around and bowed slightly to the Principal Rabbit and a few people, and said: "A few grenades taught to the Ministry of Industry have now been successfully manufactured, in order to ensure the power, please also ask a few people to see in person and point out on the spot." β
As soon as Ye Xiaojun heard the music, his waist straightened up a lot, and his eyes glanced at Lafang and Zhang Xiaoguang, so proud, it really made people look sour. The Ministry of Labor has made it, what are you Ye Xiaojun proud of, didn't you just teach a few words, and they will be good or not. The two of them turned their heads at the same time, not looking at him, leaving him alone and bored.
Li Shimin, who was above the main hall, also laughed when he heard this, and said: "Very good, I didn't expect this grenade to be built so quickly, why don't you go and watch it with me?" β
First the people from the Ministry of Industry came out to invite, and then even the emperor spoke, this is an invitation that cannot be refused?
Principal Rabbit squinted his eyes and smiled, nodded slowly, and by the way, he glanced at Li Yuan, who had been standing aside without making a sound, and saw that his expression was as usual, so he remembered that he hadn't spoken back to Li Shimin's words yet. But before he could speak, Ye Xiaojun behind him jumped out and said, "Okay, I want to see what those stupid and those grenades are made of." β
If he hadn't been pulled by Principal Rabbit, Ye Xiaojun would have said in front of Li Shimin that his officials in the Ministry of Industry were stupid, but fortunately, he still knew how to change his words, but he was inevitably despised by the three of them. It doesn't matter what you call it in the house when you close the door yourself, it's all in front of the other people's bosses, you say that the people under him are stupid, so what is he.
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu knew how this person treated those under him, so even if Ye Xiaojun temporarily changed his words, he still heard the meaning, but he was afraid that his people would still be stupid in their eyes if they made a grenade in such a short time. But in front of Li Shimin, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only swallow the bitter fruit with a wry smile.
Because Li Shimin wanted to see the results of the grenade, he didn't pay much attention to the small episode between Ye Xiaojun and the Ministry of Works, and ordered people to go down to prepare, and began to test the results in a while.
After a short time, a group of people came out of the Taiji Hall and headed towards the empty venue.
The eldest grandson Wuji did not walk in front this time, but took a few steps behind, and came to the side of the Ministry of Works, and said: "Lord Shangshu, I just saw you smiling bitterly on the top of the main hall, but what is the difficulty?" β
Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry first leaned over at the eldest grandson Wuji, and then smiled bitterly, nodded and said: "Lord Eldest Sun has good eyesight, he is really ashamed of His Majesty, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry are afraid that they will embarrass Your Majesty." β
"What do you mean by that?" The eldest grandson Wuji was shocked in his heart, this matter can be big or small, why didn't he receive any news before?
After looking left and right, and after making sure that he would not be heard, he whispered how the Ministry of Industry officials were scolded as stupid and stupid pigs in His Highness's mansion to Changsun Wuji, even though he had "beautified" a lot, but still made Changsun Wuji dumbfounded.
"This, is this serious?!"
"Don't dare to deceive the eldest grandson......"
