Chapter 26 Zichen's decision-making

"Right Prime Minister, why did the emperor suddenly summon you?" Chen Xilie, the servant of the door, followed behind Li Linfu and asked cautiously.

Chen Xilie is the best candidate for Li Linfu's favored left minister, Chen Xilie's best is not how strong his ability is, this is precisely the least important, the important thing is Chen Xilie's following, following his Li Linfu's train of thought, following his Li Linfu's steps, for example, now, he has followed himself closely since he entered the Dongshang Pavilion Gate, and Li Linfu just likes his posture.

"I don't know what the matter is, the emperor suddenly summoned everyone, I guess it's a military event!"

"I understand, I will support Sangkook."

Li Linfu smiled slightly and walked into the Zichen Hall quickly.

Zichen Hall is the third hall of Daming Palace, is the main hall of the Inner Ya of Daming Palace, the emperor said that the general discussion between the usual, more in this hall, so it is also called the Son of Heaven Palace, at this moment, several Xiangguo of the Tang Dynasty from the entrance of the East Pavilion Gate rushed in.

The Tang Dynasty's Xiangguo is not one person, but a number of people, after obtaining the qualification of the Zhongshu Sect under the Ping Zhangshi, you can enter the political hall to discuss politics, called Xiangguo, of which the Zhongshu Ling is the right Xiang, the head of the Xiangguo, the Xiangguo who participated in today's meeting is the right Xiangfu Li Linfu, the Ministry of War Shangshu Xiao Song, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Xi Yu, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Lu Jingrong and the subordinate Chen Xilie, there was originally another person Zhangyun, the head of the Ministry of Households, but he happened to go to Henan to inspect, not in Beijing.

Everyone sat down in their respective seats, whispering and waiting for the emperor to arrive.

"The emperor has arrived!" The guards shouted, and everyone immediately stood up.

I saw from the side door next to the right into a team of palace ladies, eunuchs, separated from the jade steps left and right, a moment, the Tang Emperor Li Longji walked in quickly surrounded by dozens of guards, he ascended the throne from Kaiyuan, it has been forty-five years, after a hundred years of accumulation, the Tang Dynasty entered the Kaiyuan era in the hands of Li Longji, the peak of the Tang Dynasty's prosperity, while being complacent, Li Longji was also a little tired, seeing that there were not many years left in his life, Li Longji's mind gradually left the boring and tedious court affairs, and his concubine, Indulge in the singing and dancing of the pear garden.

However, at this time, Li Longji did not completely ignore the government and politics, and the trivial matters were handled by the prime minister and the internal servants, but the major affairs of the military state must be decided by him.

And for the power struggle of the high-level of the Tang Dynasty, he Li Longji has never been confused, in the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, he killed the crown prince Ying, deposed Zhang Jiuling, and swept away a major threat to his throne, but he also saw that Li Linfu intended to serve the eighteenth prince as the new prince, how could he allow the prince to collude with Xiangguo, although he had promised Concubine Hui before his death, but he still did not hesitate to set up the third son Li Heng as the crown prince, and really played everyone once, so that Li Linfu was deeply afraid of him, which was what he wanted.

Li Longji is majestic, very magnificent, when he is in charge of Zhuo Li, he is like a tall pine and cypress, he looks heroic, he was famous for his heroic and beautiful when he was young, although he is now over the age of sixties, but the years not only did not bring him aging, but added mature charm and majesty.

Today is not a sacrifice to the Great Dynasty, so he did not wear a crown and a big coat, but came in regular clothes.

"Ministers, see His Majesty the Emperor, long live Your Majesty! Banzai! Hooray! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone returned to their seats and sat down, Li Longji coughed lightly, and then said to everyone: "Today, I temporarily summoned all Aiqing to come here to decide that my Tang Dynasty will send troops to Xiao Bolu. ”

Li Longji used the word 'decision', which meant that he had considered it maturely, he glanced at Li Linfu, and said: "Right Xiangguo, you can talk about it!" ”

The reason why he let Li Linfu be Xiangguo for ten years is because Li Linfu is good at figuring out his mind, but more importantly, Li Linfu has extraordinary talent, this talent is not the ability to write poetry, but the talent to deal with government affairs, almost all the complicated things of the Tang Empire have to be gathered on the desk of Xiangguo, but Li Linfu can handle everything in an orderly manner, and the law is cautious and strict, which makes Li Longji, who no longer wants to ask about trivial matters, especially satisfied.

Moreover, even if it is a major military matter, Li Linfu is also well aware of it, and unlike Zhang Jiuling, who likes to oppose and refute his own opinions, Li Linfu will start from his own point of view and put forward more detailed issues that he has not considered thoroughly, so as to make his plan more complete and mature.

Although he did not give prior notice today, he knew that Li Linfu would inevitably give himself a satisfactory answer.

Li Linfu stood up, bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty, Xiao Bolu's henchmen have been in trouble since the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Tubo controls Xiao Bolu, not only destroys the interests of the Tang Dynasty in Tocharo, but also blocks the Silk Road, and Tubo Tun's heavy troops are in Xiao Bolu, as if a knife is under the belly of Anxi, which seriously threatens the safety of Anxi. ”

Li Longji nodded, what Li Linfu said was very good, but the heat was not enough, their remarks today were to be copied into miscellaneous newspapers and circulated among the ministers, and without sufficient convincing, he would not be able to show the wisdom of his decision-making, and he still needed more powerful arguments.

"The right minister is right, Xiao Bolu's Tubo not only looked down on Anxi, but also provoked the relationship between Tuqi Shi and the Tang Dynasty, so that my Tang Dynasty finally lost the barrier to resist the eastward expansion of the Great Food, which is really a cancer in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, half a year ago, Gao Xianzhi wrote twice, asking for troops to attack Xiao Bolu, I was a little hesitant, after all, the Tang army has been defeated three times in Xiao Bolu, and I am worried that another defeat will seriously affect the morale of the army, but I think about it again and again, or decide to use troops against Xiao Bolu, today I want to ask you Aiqing, is there any objection?"

There was silence in the hall, Xi Yu and Lu Jingrong were already old and about to enter the ground, and their thinking could not keep up with the emperor's eloquence, Xiao Song was not familiar with the situation in the Western Regions and could not express his opinions, Chen Xilie was the only one who looked forward to Li Linfu, Li Linfu didn't let him speak, his mouth was like a stitch, and everyone's eyes looked at Li Linfu, waiting for his opinion.

Li Linfu comprehended, stood up again, and said generously: "Raising soldiers for a thousand years, using soldiers for a while, why should Your Majesty worry?" The Anxi army has been working hard for several years, waiting for this day, and only the army of Shule has cultivated seven fields, raising tens of thousands of horses, which can be described as sufficient soldiers and food, which is the time of day; After the Tuqi Shi people were hit hard by our Tang Dynasty in the eighteenth year of Kaiyuan, they were unable to invade Anxi on a large scale, and the Tang army could go south with one heart to conquer Xiaobolu without worries, which was geographically advantageous; Then there are many talents in the Anxi army, Fumeng Lingcha Treasure Knife is not old, Gao Xianzhi is a famous handsome talent, and his fierce generals are like clouds, better than before, this can be described as a person, the time and place are favorable, and all are accounted for, why worry about not winning this battle? Your Majesty, decide! ”

Li Linfu's words finally made Li Longji make up his mind, "Okay! Passing on my will, Feng Gao Xianzhi was appointed as the envoy of the camp of the four towns, and led the Anxi army to attack Xiaobolu. ”

In just one sentence, Li Linfu suddenly heard the sound outside the strings, and the emperor did not mention Fumeng Lingcha at all.
