Chapter Thirty-Eight: Li Su who is blocked at both ends

"The little nephew understood what the uncle said, but ...... But what does this have to do with me? The reason why Fang Xuanling strongly advocated building the road Li Su understood, but why did Fang Xuanling say this to him, cement was invented by him, yes, but the method has been taught to these people who will be imprisoned, and how to use it in the future will not matter to him.

"Hehe, the road construction started because of cement, and cement was invented by His Royal Highness, how can you say that this matter has nothing to do with you?" Fang Xuanling said with a smile, Li Su was just about to defend, and then heard him continue, "Although Your Majesty is bent on conquering Goguryeo, but the persuasion between me and the hundred officials before is not without a little effect, and now there is a legitimate reason to build roads, even if Your Majesty is unwilling, but you have to carefully weigh the gains and losses of the two things, with my understanding of Your Majesty, he is willing to Chapter 38 Li Su, who is blocked at both ends, will definitely summon us confidant ministers again to discuss, and His Royal Highness, as the inventor of cement, will definitely be called to participate, now do you understand?" ”

"Oh, I see!" Li Xuan suddenly realized, Fang Xuanling came to be a lobbyist for a long time, "Uncle Fang wants his nephew to unify his voice with you and the ministers on that day, and admonish his father and emperor together, so that he can dispel the idea of conquering Goguryeo, I don't know if what the little nephew said is right?" ”

"Hahaha~, Rokuro is really smart!" Fang Xuanling laughed and said, he spent so much time talking, in fact, he just wanted to persuade Li Su to stand on their side.

"Hehe, in fact, Uncle Fang doesn't need to turn such a big circle, and the little nephew also disapproves of the use of troops against Goguryeo now, after all, the time has not yet come, and the surrounding area of my Datang is not peaceful, and it is really worth the loss to make a big move for a small country." Li Su smiled and said, for Li Shimin's Goguryeo complex, Li Su has some understanding, he remembers that in the original history, Li Shimin raised the whole country's troops to conquer Goryeo, although the early stage successfully recovered Liaodong, but then was blocked by a small city, and finally had to retreat gloomily, did not achieve his strategic goal at all, until Li Zhi was in power Chapter 38 Li Su was blocked at both ends, the Tang Dynasty conquered Goguryeo for the second time, which destroyed this small country that brought endless trouble to the Central Plains in one fell swoop.

However, Li Su remembered that Comrade Li's conquest of Goguryeo was a matter of the late Zhenguan period, and it has only been Zhenguan for ten years now, which means that Comrade Lao Li was not able to attack Goguryeo this time in history, and it is estimated that it is related to the exhortation of Fang Xuanling and others.

"I didn't expect Liulang, you have such insight at such a young age, it's really my blessing to the Tang Dynasty!" Fang Xuanling said with some surprise, he was not surprised that Li Su agreed to stand on his side, what surprised him was that Li Su could see that now was not the time to conquer Goguryeo, and a fourteen-year-old boy could have this kind of strategic vision, which was more clear than most courtiers.

"Haha~, Uncle Fang praised it falsely!" Li Su likes to hear others praise him the most, not to mention that it is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty who praises him, and he is so happy that he almost can't even find the north.

After talking about the matter, Fang Xuanling was finally able to ask for himself, Li Su relied on this favor and asked Fang Xuanling for Fang Xuanling's love. Last time, Fang Xuanling and them beat the Tubo ambassador violently, but he secretly ran away from Fang Xuanling, because Fang Xuanling has always opposed his son and Cheng Huailiang's group of generals and walked too close, plus later broke into such a big disaster, although the fault is not Li Xuan's fault, and Fang Xuanling is not the mastermind, but Fang Xuanling doesn't care about these, disrespecting his father's words and fighting and brawling are punished together, I heard that he is now grounded at home to copy the Analects, and he has to copy until Fang Xuanling's anger is gone. After Li Su and Cheng Huailiang heard about it, they all mourned for Fang Yiai in their hearts, I really don't know what he did in his last life, and met such a stinky and hard father?

Although Fang Xuanling's anger has not subsided, he saw that Li Su interceded for his son, and he just owed him a favor, so he agreed to lift the grounding of Fang Xuanling's love. In fact, as a father, seeing such an excellent Li Su can open his mouth to intercede for his son, he also has some strange joy in his heart, Fang Yuai is his most beloved and worried son, if he can make friends with Li Su, it is a good thing, so he will agree so easily.

Fang Xuanling was really a believer, and Fang Xuanling was released by him in the afternoon. The first thing this cuckold brother did when he came out was to find Li Su to thank him, after the last fight, Li Su saw the courage of the green hat brother, and he also had the meaning of making friends in his heart, so when he saw him come out, he immediately called friends to pick up the wind for him, invited the people who fought together last time, and set up a banquet in his Liang Wangfu, and a group of gentlemen ate and drank and played until midnight.

The next morning, when Li Su was sleeping, someone in the palace announced that he had entered the palace, and Li Su drank a lot of wine yesterday and slept that night, so he didn't wake up without saying anything. Although Wen'er felt sorry for Li Su, she didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly asked Li Su to be carried into the carriage, and she served Li Su and dressed herself in the car.

After entering the palace, Li Su followed the little eunuch who led the way to the Liangyi Hall in a daze, and as soon as he walked to the door, he heard Li Shimin roaring loudly in the hall, and he was so frightened that he trembled all over, and his brain immediately sobered up.

After looking at the surrounding environment, and thinking of what Fang Xuanling said to him yesterday, Li Su immediately understood the reason for summoning himself into the palace. Listening to the situation in the voice, it doesn't seem to be good, otherwise Li Shimin wouldn't be so angry? Could it be that Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin carried it?

"Your Majesty, there was the defeat of Emperor Yang's three expeditions to Goguryeo, which caused the loss of troops to shake the country's foundation, Your Majesty did not listen to the admonition, do you want to learn from Emperor Yang of Sui to be a lawless monarch?" As soon as Li Su entered, he heard a fearless voice say. There were not many people in the hall, but most of them were dressed in purple robes, and all of them were high-ranking and powerful people. Now Li Shimin is sitting in the hall with an angry face, and the old minister of His Royal Highness is looking at Li Shimin with righteousness, what he said just now is what he said.

Seeing His Royal Highness's ministers, Li Su was immediately relieved: only he dared to speak to Li Shimin like this. This old minister is none other than Wei Zheng, who is famous for his direct advice.

"Wei Zheng Lao'er, you dare to compare me to a faint king, do you really dare not kill you?" Li Shimin was also angry enough, originally he wanted to persuade the ministers to agree to conquer Goguryeo first, and the road construction could be postponed for a while, but he didn't expect that the ministers below were all unanimously opposed. Fang Xuanling took into account Li Shimin's face, and the admonition was very tactful. But Wei Zheng didn't care about any emotion at all, and directly fought with Li Shimin, and now even the faint king was scolded, and the angry Li Shimin was full of murderous spirit, and he couldn't wait to kill Wei Zheng with his own hands.

"Your Majesty wants to kill or scrape, that's Your Majesty's business, but the matter of conquering Goguryeo, the old minister will never agree!" Wei Zhengniu's temper also came up, and he stiffened his neck and pushed back Li Shimin's words. The surrounding Fang Xuanling and others were silent, but they admired Wei Zheng in their hearts, and even those daring generals had to admire his courage.

"You ......" Li Shimin was speechless angrily, pointing at Wei Zheng's hands were trembling, although he wanted to kill the other party, but he knew how important Wei Zheng was to him, and it was okay to say angry words, but if he wanted to let him really start, he was really reluctant.

When Li Shimin was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, he suddenly saw Li Su standing in the corner, and immediately turned his finger to Li Su and said: "Liulang, now that all the civil and military officials are opposed to his father's conquest of Goguryeo, are you also against his father like them?" ”

When Li Su heard Li Shimin's question, he secretly complained in his heart, which was obviously Li Shimin's anger nowhere to go, and he wanted to take out his anger on his son! As long as he dares to stand on the minister's side, it is estimated that he will immediately attract Li Shimin's monstrous anger, he has no way to take Wei Zheng and these people, but there is no problem in bullying his son, after all, it is a matter of course for Lao Tzu to teach his son, and no one can say anything.

"Enlighten the Emperor! Erchen ...... Erchen ...... "Li Su can't make up his mind left and right, and he is also slurring his words, if he says that he supports Li Shimin, it is a little too irresponsible, after all, he also knows that now is not the time to conquer Goguryeo, and if he goes, he can only lose his troops and generals, and the original history proves this." And yesterday he had already promised Fang Xuanling, if he changed his mind now, wouldn't he be a capricious villain, and he would definitely make Fang Xuanling and others look down on him. But if you say that you are against it, looking at Li Shimin's angry appearance, you will definitely not have good fruits to eat.

"Hmph~, support is support, opposition is opposition, what does it look like?" Li Shimin originally wanted to find fault, but when he saw Li Su's appearance, he was about to have a seizure right away. Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and the others also looked at Li Su sympathetically, but there was no way, now it was a dialogue between their father and son, and they couldn't intervene at all.

Li Xuan's sweat came down, and there were two choices in front of him, but no matter which one he chose, the consequences would be very serious. Here I have to say that man is a very strange animal, under strong pressure, some people will collapse because they can't bear it, and some people will behave exceptionally under pressure and can do things that they can't usually do.

Li Su obviously belongs to the latter type of person, under the strong pressure of Li Shimin, he suddenly felt that he had become very calm, and his mind was extremely clear, and the thoughts that had been chaotic before quickly became organized, and in the blink of an eye, he thought of a way to deal with it!!
