Li Ji's fall made Li Shimin and Du He in the hall startled, and the two rushed out in a panic. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The guards at the door had already helped Li Ji up.

Li Ji has always treated Du He well, and when he saw that this old boss was abnormal, he came down to the nearest place, "Uncle Li, Uncle Li?" After calling twice, seeing Li Jiyi fall into a coma, he reached out to probe his nose, noticed the warmth on his fingers, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shimin also came to the front at this time, and when he saw Li Ji's situation, he immediately took out a golden seal from his arms and said decisively: "Take the golden seal, use my horse, and quickly take Li Aiqing to the Imperial Doctor's Office for treatment." ”

Du He glanced at the golden seal, which was almost equal to the Shang Fang sword in the Song and Ming dynasties in the Tang Dynasty, and holding it was equivalent to Li Shimin's visit. With it in hand, don't say that it is breaking into the palace, even if it is setting fire to the palace, no one dares to stop it. He stretched out his hand to take it, without any hesitation, put Li Ji on his back, turned over on his horse, and galloped outside the palace. Putting people in the back will certainly be a little tiring, but it can relieve the patient of some bumps.

With the gold seal in his hand, Du He galloped in the palace, and naturally no one dared to stop him, until he arrived at the Imperial Doctor's Office.

As soon as Du He's front foot arrived, Li Shimin's back foot also arrived, with an anxious face, without the demeanor of an emperor at all, seeing that the imperial doctor was giving Li Ji a pulse, he stayed quietly aside.

Seeing that the imperial doctor withdrew the wrist of the number pulse, he couldn't wait to say, "Imperial doctor, what's wrong with Li Aiqing?" How can you be unconscious? ”

The imperial doctor said respectfully: "The emperor is relieved, but he is overworked and has become ill." As long as you rest more and take care of your care, there is nothing wrong with it......"

Li Shimin said incredulously: "How can you faint from overwork?" ”

The imperial doctor explained: "I don't know much about this, according to the minister's analysis, the key lies in the wind chill some time ago...... A few days ago, Lord Li asked his ministers to prescribe a few medicines for wind and cold. This wind chill is a minor illness, and you can be protected from illness if you recuperate well. However, while suffering from wind and cold, the transition of exertion will lead to the collapse of the body, and the disease will recur tenfold. ”

Du He said in a low voice: "A few days ago, the army went on an expedition, and Uncle Li, as the secretary of the military department, had the most onerous task. ”

"This fool ......" Li Shimin scolded, "If you are sick, you still hold on, you deserve to suffer...... he paused and said: "There are thousand-year-old ginseng, snow ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and other tonic medicines in my palace that have been paid tribute by other countries, and I have people send them over, you can see if there is anything that can help Li Aiqing's body, even if you use it, you must let him recover as soon as possible." Qinglian, you wait to inform the Ministry of War, the affairs of the Ministry of War will be handled by the squire of the Ministry of War for the time being, and inform Li Aiqing's family and ask them to take Li Aiqing back, and tell them that before Li Aiqing's body is fully recovered, who dares to let Li Aiqing take a step out of the house, I will ask them. ”

Li Ji's illness caused quite a stir in the court.

As the secretary of the Ministry of War, Li Ji's popularity is still very broad, and there is an endless stream of people visiting the British government, even Li Shimin personally went to the British public to visit......

Duho is no exception.

As the imperial doctor said, Li Ji was not seriously ill, but his body was weak because of the wind and cold, and his condition was tenfold worse because of fatigue. He woke up the same day and was fine talking, but it would take at least a month or two to recuperate if he wanted to recover completely.

Just when Li Ji was sick, a major event happened that shocked the government and the opposition.

Li Shimin caused the envoy sent by Zhang Liang to Tibet to be attacked by mysterious robbers, and the whole army was annihilated.

The reason given by Tubo is that he is a rogue of the Xiangxiong Kingdom, but being a thief will eventually leave a handle. Zhang Liangming secretly sent a total of two groups of people, one was a righteous and bright mission, and the other was a secret agent, intending to investigate the reality of Tubo.

Two groups of men and horses went one after the other, and the men sent by Songtsen Gampo surrounded the mission in the open place, but left the secret agents in the dark behind. As a qualified agent, you must first have the ability to adapt to changes. There were few of them, and they knew that they were powerless to rescue, so they relentlessly watched from the sidelines, and then followed the gang of thieves in the shadows until they saw them enter the Tibetan military camp with their own eyes.

It is obvious who the murderer is.

After Li Shimin heard the news, he was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and under his anger, he slapped the case with a palm, because he couldn't hold the strength in anger, and the swollen palm was almost the same as a bear's paw.

The higher the status, the more face-oriented. As a unique empire in the world, Datang does not allow anyone to on top of his head and do evil. This is true of any country, the stronger it is, the more they will not allow the weak to be presumptuous.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and summoned the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to discuss the matter.

When the news spread, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and everyone was disgraced when they heard it.

As courtiers of the Tang Empire, they have innate superiority and are all superior existences. Even if they have any contradictions with each other, when the prestige of the Tang Dynasty is provoked, everyone will put aside their prejudices and work together to the outside world.

"How can it be!" The eldest grandson Wuji jumped like thunder and shouted: "Tubo children, deceive people too much. Your Majesty, the Messenger, the dignity of the country. The envoy sent by His Majesty, he represents His Majesty, and the Tubo army surrounded and killed, but he really did not take our Tang Dynasty in his eyes, and his crime should be punished, and he should be punished. He called two "be punished" in a row.

Wei Zheng also stood up and said: "Soldiers, murder weapons." My Datang is benevolent and unwilling to use swords and soldiers, but it does not mean that I Datang is afraid of things and war. Today, the thieves are bullying the door, and they must be given to maintain the majesty of our Datang. ”

Chu Suiliang, Ma Zhou, and Cen Wenwen, who have always advocated non-war and anti-war, also spoke out at this moment.

The majesty of Datang cannot be violated by anyone.

Looking at the enraged Manchu Dynasty civil and military, Du Ruhui said: "The old minister thinks that the Songtsen Gampo of Tubo has no intention of hiding it from us at all, he just makes a statement and gives us an explanation, he has eaten us to death, and we are now using troops against Goguryeo and have no time to take care of them." ”

Songtsen Gampo's move is not difficult to guess, and he can't hide it from those high-end talents of the Tang Dynasty, but before saying everything, let Li Shimin and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty know their attitude. Now that Du Ruhui has broken through his words, everyone has also started a real discussion.

Cheng Yanjin stood up with a big grin and said: "What else is there to say, this group of bastards in Tubo has the courage to bully us, don't *** mother, how can I make all countries in the world surrender." ”

Qin Qiong also stood up with a smile at this time, and said, "Your Majesty, although what Zhijie said was vulgar, it was reasonable. Tubo took advantage of the Tang Dynasty's expedition to Goguryeo, set us a trap, threatened us, and set a precedent. If you don't respond positively, there will be the same thing in the future, and other countries will follow suit, what should I do with Datang? ”

Wei Zheng frowned and said, "But the two-line expedition is too costly. Although our DPRK has accumulated a good amount of economic materials after a year and a half of cultivation, it has not been able to support a two-front war for a long time. It's not that we don't want to fight back, it's that the national strength doesn't allow it. Excessive warfare is the use of military force, which will cause great harm to the country and the people. ”

What Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong said is reasonable, and Wei Zheng is also good here.

Li Shimin is not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has made great achievements externally, but internally it is "wasted at home, and the household registration is halved", and the Tang Dynasty has been able to maintain the prosperity of Zhenguan for many years, that is, because of reasonable conquest. The two-front expedition obviously violated the fundamental practice of sending troops to the Tang Dynasty. It is also because of this that Songtsen Gampo will eat the Tang Dynasty to the death, thinking that even if he does too much, the Tang Dynasty will endure it.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, with a struggling expression on his face, he wanted to fight, but he was also worried about bringing harm to Baixin and the economic development of Datang, which would make Zhenguan's prosperity end prematurely.

As the prime minister, Fang Xuanling came out of the class with a smile at this time: "It depends on how Your Majesty decides, who is lighter and heavier in fighting Tubo and Goguryeo." It's not that our Datang can't support two-front operations, but that it can't support two-front operations for a long time. That is the case, the minister felt that Tubo and Goguryeo could fight together, but according to the remaining material strength, a deadline was set. Within the time limit, if the final victory cannot be achieved, the army will be withdrawn and the first army will be fully supported, and the remaining one road can be kept for the time being, and after recuperation, the decision will be made. ”

"Wonderful!" Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

Du He, who had been thinking hard to no avail, also grinned, and they all fell into a misunderstanding. They all felt that if they wanted to fight, they must fight the result, but they didn't think that in addition to victory, there was also a retreat and a peace, and there was no need to fight to the end.

Li Shimin set his eyes on the head of the head of the household. Hubu Shangshu said: "Back to Your Majesty, because of the appearance of sweet potatoes, my Datang harvested very well in various places last year. The grain stored in the government treasury in various regions can supply the needs of 200,000 troops for two years. If you count this year's harvest, it will be even more, but of course it is necessary to keep some stock in order to ensure that natural disasters occur. ”

Li Shimin calculated in his heart for a while, and said decisively: "Naturally, come to me, follow my will, send an order to the king of Jiangxia County, I will give him half a year to deal with Goguryeo, if it is not successful, return to Liaodong, and fight again on another day." Then, he looked at all the civil and military forces in the court, took the case, and said loudly: "The dignity of the Tang Dynasty cannot be trampled on, Tubo Songzan Gampo, bold and reckless, killing my Tang envoy is equivalent to declaring war with my Tang Dynasty." If he wants to fight, I will fight. If you don't destroy Tibet, I vow not to give up......"

Heroic ambition, with the majesty of the emperor, Li Shimin's words about the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, blood boiling, all shouted "Tang Wansheng".

Li Shimin's decision was still very rational, and the purpose of fighting Goguryeo was to recover the lost territory and avenge the Chinese children. And to fight Tubo, it was because Tubo openly killed the envoys of the Tang Dynasty and declared war on the Tang Dynasty. Now that Liaodong has been recovered, as for revenge, it has been delayed for so many years, and I don't care about one day at a time. Tubo is the only country that can confront the Tang Dynasty, and it is attacking the Zhangxiong Kingdom, so it is urgent. The choice of Tibet is undoubtedly the most correct.

Songtsen Gampo did all the tricks, but he ignored the blood, pride and self-esteem of a dynasty.

Since it was decided to send troops, it was imperative to choose a general to command the troops.

For a while, everyone noticed that the most suitable candidate, Li Ji, was lying on the hospital bed.
