Li Chengzong sees the world as a chessboard, but he has no available chess pieces at the moment. There is not a single soldier who can be used externally, and all of them have been dispatched. The rest are either unfit to lead the troops, or they cannot be allowed to lead the troops. Besides, the form of this chess game is simply the upper hand for Li Chengzong, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Once the Turks were arrogant and arrogant, and they were also cleaned up and lost their temper, this month Pei Lin has brought news that the Turks who defeated Jieli Khan are willing to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. Duan Zhixuan of Youzhou also had good news, Goguryeo didn't know whether he was alive or dead, thinking that it was easy to bully if he replaced Feng Li and removed Youzhou, which had no division of troops. Tens of thousands of soldiers dared to come to find trouble, but they were hit head-on by Duan Zhixuan, killed 3,000 enemy soldiers, and directly slaughtered them all.

Two good news, Li Chengzong can be regarded as making up for the injuries suffered by last year's expedition to the Turks. Su Dingfang had an army of 50,000 and was ready to set off at any time, and Li Chengzong was also happy to arrive, and told Su Dingfang in the holy decree that he could fight as he wanted, and there was no need to ask the imperial court at all, and all the property obtained would not be handed over to the treasury, but would be directly distributed to the meritorious soldiers. However, Wei Zheng was very dissatisfied with this, but he was verbose every time he met Li Chengzong.

When the cabinet returned to the East Palace, Wei Zheng, who was scolded again, was a little bit resigned. The iron-clad loyal ministers, who can't see the emperor acting like this, are simply insulting to the face of the Tang Dynasty. If the face of the literati is lost, what is the etiquette?

Chai Shao couldn't see Wei Zheng's face, and said as if there were no loyal ministers in the Tang Dynasty.

"I said, Lord Wei, what is there about the emperor's decision that you can object to so much. I have only heard the emperor reward the soldiers, but I have never heard the emperor not reward the soldiers in front of him since ancient times. People bleed and played with their lives, and it was not a big deal to get some money. You are good, you were scolded by the emperor three times in three days, and we were also scolded. "Chai Shao is the key point, it's not a sin for you to find bad luck, and it's not good to take care of the people around you.

Tang Jian is divided into inside and outside, first, he and Chai Shao are both newcomers, and they are psychologically close. Second, this Wei Zheng is really annoying, and he also agrees with Chai Shao's words.

"What the horse said is reasonable, Lord Wei should be restrained. If it weren't for the fact that Your Majesty is a wise king, it would be light for you to say that you despise the king for the past few days. ”

Wei Zheng was not convinced, he was reasonable, and said: "It is not impossible to order Su Dingfang to make his own opinions, and I also understand the reason that he will not be subject to foreign military orders." But all the money that is obtained is at your disposal, so what is it? His Majesty was basically hinting at Su Dingfang. ”

"What is the hint at him? Burn, kill, rob, and captive?" Tang Jian said.

"Everyone knows in their hearts that if the soldiers and horses led by Su Dingfang continue to fight like this, they will become bandits if they are not robbers, how can I act like this?" Wei Zheng was not afraid to explain.

People die for money, birds die for food, and front-line soldiers can't do anything bad in order to get money. Wei Zheng has never led troops, but he has fought and seen too many such things. Think about what kind of beating nature the Turks are, and you will know what the soldiers and horses led by Su Dingfang will become. For the sake of Datang's face, it really shouldn't be like this.

Tang Jian said: "Your Majesty has already said that everything is to solve Tuyuhun as soon as possible. You can't deny that Your Majesty's words are really very reasonable. The stimulation of money will certainly greatly improve the morale of the soldiers at the front. We'll save a lot of time and we'll be able to reduce a lot of injuries. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts, and if they keep too many living people, they will also raise tigers. ”

"How are we different from the Turks in this way?" Wei Zheng said, Chai Shao couldn't sit still.

"What did you say? Lord Wei is too presumptuous, among the five members of the cabinet, you are the only one who speaks against the saint, is it only you who are loyal ministers, only you are the one who conceives for the Tang Dynasty, and the other four of us are all wine bags and rice bags, people who mislead the country and the people? Don't rely on the fact that you followed Your Majesty back then, you can speak freely. ”

Fang Xuanling was not angry with Wei Zheng for speaking, he was this dead temper, and it was not worth being angry with him. But he couldn't stand on the sidelines, Chai Shao was angry and really beat Wei Zheng to waste, didn't the entire cabinet become a joke?

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient. We are all trusted by His Majesty, and we should share His Majesty's worries. Last year's expedition to the Turks failed, and His Majesty was in a hurry to solve Tuyuhun, which is understandable. Fighting a war is endless casualties, a few more deaths and a few fewer deaths are deaths, why should Lord Wei Zheng be persistent. Besides, you have repeatedly contradicted Your Majesty, Lord Tang Jian is right, if it weren't for Your Majesty's magnanimity, you would at least have to lose your official position and be dismissed. Whether Your Majesty is the Lord or not, you, Lord Wei Zheng, should know better than anyone else. The previous things are over, and tomorrow we will discuss Lord Wei Zheng as a convergence. "Fang Xuanling has nothing to look down on, but his position is also very clear.

There are a total of five people in the cabinet, and Du Ruhui is three to one if he doesn't speak, and he steadily suppresses Wei Zheng.

When Wei Zheng saw it, no one had the same heart as himself! Besides, I couldn't get a bargain, so I threw my big sleeves and left.

"This Wei Zheng is really annoying." Chai Shao didn't have a big temper, but he was also angry with Wei Zheng's move.

"It's not okay to go on like this, sooner or later he will be implicated one day." Tang Jian was careful when he said this, and he didn't shout like just now.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruyan are not stupid, they don't guess what these two people think in their hearts, but they don't say anything, and they will definitely not talk about each other again.

Chai Shao said: "Don't worry, sooner or later, Your Majesty will have to teach this arrogant person a lesson."

"Horses, be cautious. Everyone is an official in the same dynasty, so you really shouldn't say that. Du Ruhui reminded.

"I'm still afraid that he won't make it? The self-proclaimed high-ranking Wei Zheng, I will leave the words here, and Your Majesty will clean him up sooner or later. Chai Shao finished speaking, turned around and left.

A person has a person's mind, and Chai Shao said this completely smart, not reckless. The emperor's balancing technique, Chai Shao has not studied it. Suddenly sent Xu Jingzong and Ma Zhou away, and replaced Tang Jian with himself, for what? It's definitely not for the sake of harmony between the top and bottom of the cabinet, if no one makes contradictions, the emperor's chess will be in vain. As soon as these words came out, they didn't have to wait for tomorrow to reach Li Chengzong's ears. At that time, his position in the cabinet will be more stable, if Wei Zheng is a smart person, he must secretly thank himself. I, Chai Shao, will be in the cabinet for one day, and Wei Zheng will be in the cabinet for one day. Of course, if Wei Zheng is not smart and holds a grudge against himself, Chai Shao is not afraid. Wei Zheng is not an opponent in any fight, and with Princess Pingyang behind, he is not afraid of anything.

Fang Xuanling saw that Chai Shao was also gone, and said to Tang Jian: "It's okay now, with these two here, our cabinet can't be peaceful."

"It's good to be restless, and the more peaceful I am, the more restless my heart is. I had learned it from General Li Jing as early as now, and what he said was very good, but I almost lost my life in a blink of an eye. Tang Jian was also self-deprecating, of course, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Jing. (To be continued.)
