Tai Chi Temple!

The magnificent Taiji Hall is the most magnificent palace in the whole palace, the base of the hall is six zhang higher than the slope, the main hall is eleven rooms wide, four rooms deep, and is located on the three-layer platform. The front of the hall is divided into Xiangluan, Qifeng two pavilions, the two sides of the hall are the second floor of the bell and drum, there is a flying corridor between the hall, the pavilion and the building, it is connected with the flying corridor, it becomes a "concave" shape, there is the dragon tail road that leans against the platform wall and spirals up under the two pavilions of Xiangluan and Qifeng. Taiji hall in the "concave" shape plane combination of the hall and high pavilion, echo each other, the outline undulating, the volume is huge, the momentum is magnificent, cheerful and brilliant, extremely rich in spiritual deterrence. In ancient times, some people described its spirit as "like life" and "like in the sky".

Here is the center of the power of the entire Tang Dynasty, discuss military affairs, depending on the place where the court listens to the government, the emperor ascends the throne, canonizes the queen, the prince, the kings, the princess ceremony and the banquet tributary envoys are also held in this hall, in front of the Taiji Hall this year, a thousand officials also staged a thousand officials to look at Chang'an, the first prosperous era of the Taiji Dynasty in the past and present.

At this moment, the atmosphere in this large hall, which is enough to accommodate thousands of people, is serious.

Li Shimin knelt on the top cushion with a blushing face, staring at Wei Zheng in front of him with stunned eyes, and almost had the idea of stepping forward to strangle him to death.

Everyone in the court was trembling and kneeling, and even the crown prince Li Chengqian was lying under the jade steps, hanging his head in a respectful manner, and everyone could see that Li Shimin was very angry now, and no one dared to touch his head.

Of course, Wei Zheng is an exception.

Today, Li Shimin once again discussed the matter of Gaochang with his ministers, and revealed in his words his intention to attack Gaochang.

Unexpectedly, this revelation immediately turned the entire court upside down.

Since ancient times, no dynasty can avoid the main battle and the two factions, the main battle faction said that only continuous attacks can make the country strong, and the main and faction believe that only without fighting, the banner and the drum to avoid the sword is the only way to make the country strong.

When Li Shimin revealed his intention to fight, the main peace faction in the DPRK and the central government, who mainly ruled the country, immediately jumped out in protest.

The first is Chu Suiliang.

"Your Majesty, not long ago, our army just experienced a great war with Tibet, and it has not yet recovered. Last year's climate was not good, it was not a bumper harvest year, and the warehouse was not real, which was not conducive to the use of soldiers! ”

Kong Yingda, a great Confucian, couldn't help but show off, straightened up and said: "Your Majesty, my Heavenly Empire is based on benevolence, and the small country of Fanbang needs to be based on education." What's more, Gaochang has been congratulating for many years, and he is respectful and friendly to my Tang Dynasty. The matter of the horse thief is not their fault, Your Majesty sent troops to crusade against the great virtue, and the great righteousness is also nameless! ”

As soon as Kong Yingda's voice fell, before Li Shimin answered, Wei Zheng then stood up, his words were more powerful than Chu Suiliang and Kong Yingda: "Your Majesty, for thousands of years, after the chaos, it is necessary to rule the country, and only in this way can a country prosper." Since the dawn of time, this has been the case. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty were exempted from the flames of war, attaching importance to production, persuading agriculture and mulberry, building water conservancy, the people and customs were quiet, the family gave people enough, the cattle and horses were all over the field, and the surplus grain was commissioned to the field. The rule of this strong Wenjing created a strong Han Dynasty; Wang Mang was in chaos, the sea collapsed, and the world was in chaos. Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty implemented the national policy of 'Yanwu Xiuwen', developed production, and greatly promoted Confucianism, which laid the foundation of the Later Han Dynasty for nearly two hundred years. In the early years of the Sui Dynasty, it was no different. To govern internally, to virtue externally, so that Fanbang surrendered, the world ruled. Your Majesty, a lesson from the car ahead, a teacher from the car behind. Let's see that Yang Guang has such wealth left by Yang Jian, but he has achieved infamy through the ages because of his reckless military use. If the next day is decided, he will think about opening up the territory and mobilize troops again and again. This move is not good for the country and the people, I implore Your Majesty to think twice! ”

Wei Zheng's words can be described as powerful, loud and loud, word by word, and what he said was spittle. only made Li Shimin so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

Wei Zheng's words, whether intentional or unintentional, faintly compared him Li Shimin with Yang Guang.

But he still can't refute it, because Wei Zheng takes history as a mirror, and every word occupies a "reason" word.

In fact, this is the case, the Lord can develop the economy and make the country strong, but it can make a country's combat power low; The main battle can dominate the four seas and open up the country's territory, but the economy is also consumed too much because of the war, so that the economy cannot keep up, and both sides have advantages and disadvantages.

Therefore, it is not a wrong choice to go to Gaochang, but it is not wrong not to fight.

But Wei Zheng's surname was too hard to say too much, so that Li Shimin couldn't get off the stage with these things.

Seeing that the topic was deadlocked, Fang Xuanling hurriedly came out to play a round and said: "Your Majesty just said that Gaochang is unable to protect the Silk Road, and he has not decided to send troops, and it is not time to argue about this matter, the key is how to deal with that group of horse thieves. At that time, my Datang will lose a lot! ”

Wei Zheng was reminded by Fang Xuanling, and he did not dwell on this matter.

"I'll talk about this later, hum! Retreat! Li Shimin got the steps, and went down the steps to give the order to retreat from the dynasty.

He turned around and ordered to summon Li Chengqian, Eldest Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Hou Junji, and Li Ji to the Ganlu Hall for a secret meeting.

"Sit down and talk! Come...... Serve tea! Li Shimin took a small sip, felt the rich fragrance of tea, and said with a smile: "Du Aiqing, your Erlang has given me some treasures!" This tea has a long aftertaste...... I don't have to say! ”

Du Ruhui cocked his mouth a little proudly, but his mouth responded respectfully: "Your Majesty is wonderful, the little dog is not more troublesome, I like these side doors, there are harms, there are harms...... Hehe......" At the end, he couldn't help but laugh.

made everyone present roll their eyes and secretly despise: "Virtue! At the same time, it was a little sour, and I realized that having an amazing son is also something to be proud of.

Li Chengqian's face was a little embarrassed, especially when Li Shimin praised Du He.

"The side door is not necessarily the same! At least he thought of a way you couldn't think of to come out! Li Shimin said with a smile.

His Royal Highness looked at each other, you looked at me, and finally looked at Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui himself was also at a loss.

Li Shimin told Du He's method and revealed his intention to attack Gaochang.

Only then did everyone know that Li Shimin's intention to attack Gaochang was persuaded by Du He.

The cadres did not speak for a while.

Only Li Chengqian stood up and said: "Father, the son has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was in a hurry, and even made his eyes look, but Li Chengqian smiled gloomily and didn't see it.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said, "If the prince has something to say, you might as well say it directly!" ”

Li Chengqian held his head high and said righteously: "Erchen thinks that my sister-in-law's strategy is not too despicable, my Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and attaches importance to benevolence, righteousness and morality." To be admired by the world, with this kind of indiscriminate strategy? If it is spread out, won't it laugh off the big teeth of the people of the world? ”

Li Shimin listened to the puzzled face, strange, looked up and down, and saw that Li Chengqian did have a little bit of his own appearance, and a few black lines appeared on his forehead, and he didn't know how to speak. As the crown prince of the country, thinking about things not in the interests of the country but a state of etiquette is really good, very powerful, and very speechless.

This kind of performance even made Li Shimin have a strange idea of whether this kid is his own species, it is really his own species, how can he not be a little similar to himself?

The eldest grandson Wuji also sighed that Li Chengqian was a dou who couldn't be helped.

The group of them didn't know how to speak, not because Du He's strategy didn't work, but on the contrary, Du He's strategy could give the Tang Dynasty an excuse to attack Gaochang, and force King Gaochang to go all out to hunt down the thief. They didn't speak because they needed to consider the consequences of this strategy, whether it would puncture the membrane that symbolized friendship between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions.

If Li Chengqian can say a big truth, he may still be impressive, but this open-mouthed state of etiquette, benevolence, righteousness and morality will only make people look down on it even more.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "The prince's scruples are not unreasonable, we lack real evidence for this matter, and we may not be able to hide it from those people in the Western Regions, in case they see that all this is designed by us, they will inevitably detect the idea that my Datang intends to dominate the Western Regions, and when the time comes, it will be even worse!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also has some ability, not only pointed out the weakness of Du He's plan, but also covered up his true intentions for Li Chengqian, saying that Li Chengqian's state of etiquette was said to the people of the Western Regions, implying that Du He's methods are not bright, and if the Western Regions departments are aware of it, it will destroy the current friendship between the two sides!

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and then at the eldest grandson Wuji, shook his head and smiled, and said: "Uncle Guo is right, the only thing I care about in my heart is this matter, we lack real evidence, we have to find a way to get this real evidence." ”

Just when they were worried about this, the news suddenly came that Du He asked to see him.

Li Shimin's face was overjoyed, and he said with a smile: "This kid is here with real evidence!" He wasn't sure that Du He had come for this matter, but he knew that Du He would not come to him for no reason, and that he was probably here to make up for the shortcomings in his strategy.

Duhe was informed and strode towards the Manna Temple.

Since he promised to introduce Li Shimin to An Longma and Na Hu Niu, his date with Li Xueyan could only be terminated, seeing a trace of reluctance flashing on Li Xueyan's face, he also knew what the other party was thinking, and felt guilty, and said that he would make up for it in a few days.

Li Xueyan got the promise, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

The group returned to Chang'an, and Du He first sent Li Xueyan back to the Jiangxia County Palace, and then led An Longma and Na Hu Niu to the palace.

When they came to the palace, the three of them could not enter except for Du He, who had an entry and exit waist card, and could not enter, so they could only leave them outside the palace, wait for the call, and go to face the saint alone.

walked into the Ganlu Palace, but saw that the key figures in the hall, such as Li Chengqian, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, the eldest grandson Wuji, Hou Junji, and Li Ji, were all in the hall.
