The momentum of the martial queen is very sufficient, such a momentum even Gaozong did not dare to pick up its edge, the ministers were all silent, did not dare to say a word, some even trembled, broke out in a cold sweat, the entire court was so quiet that even a needle could be heard. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But Li Xian didn't have the slightest fear, he arched his hand very indifferently, and said calmly: "The son is just saying a fact, why should the queen mother be so angry, the so-called reason is not high, as long as the queen mother is reasonable, don't be so angry, the son is just as convinced, but if the queen mother sends Wu Yizong to fight, who will bear the responsibility for the defeat?" Who guarantees the safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and millions of people in Northeast China? The above is just a shallow view of the sons, and I also ask the queen mother to give a clear reply. ”

"Hmph, it seems that you look down on Yizong a hundred times, prince, this palace knows that you have always looked down on the mother's family of this palace, the same is true of the Min Zhi in the past, and the same is true of the three thoughts and Yi Zong's generations today, but so what? You will certainly not be able to stop them from serving the country, unable to stop them from making meritorious contributions, but this palace tells you that Yizong is not as incompetent as you imagined, this palace dares to guarantee that this time to send troops to the Khitan, Yizong will win, if you don't believe it, you can wait and see, but if you are jealous of the virtuous and jealous, so that the talents can not realize their ambitions in their chests, make contributions to the country, and wait until the situation in the north is eroded out of control, who should bear the responsibility? ”

After Empress Wu finished speaking, she immediately stood up, bowed to Gaozong and said: "Your Majesty, this battle concubine guarantees that Yizong will win the battle, I don't know if Your Majesty believes in the concubine or the prince?" ”

Although Empress Wu seemed to be courteing Gaozong, she was actually forcing Gaozong to make a decision.

At this time, the cronies around Empress Wu, especially Wu Chenghei, Wu Sansi and the lackeys under his door, even saluted Gaozong with a hula and said: "The ministers also recommend Wu Yizong to serve as the commander of the three armies, make meritorious contributions, serve the country, sweep the northern Xinjiang and be stubborn, and ask Your Majesty for permission." ”

"This, hehe, in fact, Yizong's kid is indeed very good, I also think he has the ability to win in battle, Xian'er, what do you think?" Gaozong has long been impressed by the momentum of the Empress Wu, plus Gaozong also thinks that there is no suspense in this war, and the small Khitan plus part of the end of the Su Dynasty, how many people are there in total? What's more, these are all rabble, they are not vulnerable at all, the Tang Dynasty can win by sending a general at will, the reason why Wu Yizong was sent is just to give him a chance to get military merits and control military power in order to counter Li Xian, in fact, this is more conducive to the restraint and balance of the two factions, so Gaozong said so.

In Gaozong's view, the reason why Li Xian opposed Wu Yizong's entry into the battlefield was mainly to maintain Li Xian's prestige in the army, for fear that Empress Wu's cronies would control the military power and weaken Li Xian's control over the army.

In fact, Gaozong wronged Li Xian, although Li Xian also cares about the struggle for power, but when it comes to the overall interests of the country, he often doesn't care much about personal gains and losses, if this time the Empress Wu recommends a general who can fight well, Li Xian will not object at all, because he actually doesn't care about others controlling military power, which is actually no threat to him, but this time sending Wu Yizong is definitely a defeat.

Gaozong didn't expect that this time the rebel force was so strong, if it was a veteran like Pei Xingjian, there would still be a chance of victory, but if he sent a waste like Wu Yizong, it would be like sending him to death, and it was precisely because of this that Li Xiancai strongly opposed it.

But now, since Gaozong said so, if he insists on his own opinion, it will definitely arouse Gaozong's suspicion, if Empress Wu takes this opportunity to unite Gaozong to suppress him, his position as prince may not be kept, and even his life is under the control of others, so Li Xian can only helplessly say: "My father is very worried, it is my sons who are too worried, but the so-called soldiers, the temple is more and more victorious, everything must be careful and cautious, and the queen mother is so inward-moving and does not avoid relatives, Presumably, Yizong will definitely win, but in case the stalemate between the two sides lasts too long, General Xue's men and horses lose hope, I am afraid that things will still not be possible, therefore, Erchen still thinks that I, Datang, should prepare one more way out. ”

"Oh? I don't know what Xian'er refers to? Gaozong was stunned when he heard this, and then asked suspiciously.

I saw Li Xian say lightly: "Father, my sons think that my Datang should open up the sea supply line, so that the supply of the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition will not have to worry." ”

"Hehe, although the prince thinks well, but Weichen thinks it's really whimsical." At this time, I saw Xue Yuanchao stand up and say to Gaozong: "Your Majesty, now nearly seventy percent of my Datang fleet has been attacked by the Japanese invaders, and most of them have been defeated. Our army does not have a fleet, and even if it is made now, it is estimated that it will be at least half a year later, and by that time, perhaps the war on the front line will be over. ”

"Well, Xue Aiqing is right, Xian'er ......" Gaozong glanced at Li Xian, with a helpless expression, the meaning was obvious, and it seemed that he had no confidence in it.

But saw Li Xian bow down and said: "Father, this matter is actually not difficult, warships naturally have to be built, and sea ships must be built, Erchen heard that my Tang Dynasty's Ming and Tang Dynasty merchants often sail far, and the sea ships built are not only strong, but also advanced, it is better to make them still undertake the construction of sea ships, train the navy, so that after the sea supply line is opened, timely supply, as for the defeat of the Japanese fleet, in fact, it is not impossible to achieve it in a short period of time." ”

"Oh? I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has? Wechen listened attentively. Xue Yuanchao's face was full of a playful smile, and he didn't seem to believe that Li Xian would be able to do this at all.

But he saw Li Xian glanced at Xue Yuanchao, and then said to Gaozong: "Father, this matter is easy, the son can offer a plan to kill people with a knife, the latest Wa State is engaged in a new policy, many opposition parties are dissatisfied, have fled, wandered to the coastal areas, this is the formation of pirate forces, wanton plunder, this time it is to receive the benefits of Silla, and Silla agreed to give up a state of land as a reward, then led the fleet to confront my Tang Dynasty, after all, those rogues are the opposition to the new policy of the Wa State, only the father and the emperor need to send a messenger to the Wa State to state the interests, Surely the Wa Kingdom will send a fleet of ships to annihilate those rogues in order to unify the whole country. ”

"Hehe, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really good at fantasy, our army doesn't cost a single soldier, and without a little grain and grass, the Japanese Kingdom can send troops for my Tang Dynasty to defeat the Japanese Invaders? Such a naïve idea is probably only thought of by the prince, and Weichen is really convinced. Xue Yuanchao listened, looked disapproving, and said with a loud laugh. (To be continued.) )
