After listening to Qin Xuan's words, Fang Xuanling, Zhang Wuji, Cheng Yanjin, Hou Junji, including Taizong Li Shimin, were all slightly stunned, and then laughed. Qin Xuan couldn't help frowning and looked at these people.

First, Taizong Li Shimin stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "I just said, how can Qin Aiqing know everything at such a young age, it turns out that there are also people who don't know!" ”

As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, Qin Xuan became even more confused, and looked at Taizong directly, frowning, but he didn't say anything to ask. It's not that Qin Xuan doesn't want to know the reason, but he can be sure that these people will definitely say it.

Cheng Yanjin was an impatient, laughed a few times in his voice, and then explained to Qin Xuan: "Zhihao, this is experience, you don't know the Western Turks, the Western Turks are also nomads no matter how they say it, even if they can capture Gaochang, they will definitely not occupy it, do you understand what I said?" ”

Qin Xuan frowned, thought for a moment, and then nodded with a smile: "Thank you Cheng Zhijie for your teachings, Xia Guan understands!" ”

As soon as Qin Xuan said this, everyone who was still laughing stopped abruptly and looked at Qin Xuan with wide eyes. Qin Xuan didn't know why, and said suspiciously: "If the Western Turks cooperate with us so much to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, this is unavoidable, is there a problem?" ”

Several people subconsciously shook their heads, and then nodded again, Qin Xuan was a little confused, these could not pretend to be calm, he thought he had figured it out, but he didn't expect it to be wrong, and immediately asked, "What's the problem, can you tell me about it?" ”

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth curved, and he said, "I will say a few words." The problem is not with the Western Turks, nor with Gaochang, but with you! ”

"Minister?" Qin Xuan lost his voice.

"Yes, Qin Aiqing is old and weak, and it is only an old and weak crown, but I didn't expect to think about things, so thoughtful, I originally thought that if Qin Aiqing put in some effort, he would be able to become a great writer in the future, but unexpectedly. I've lost my eyes too. Qin Aiqing not only has profound literary attainments, but also is so proficient in this march and war! ”

After Li Shimin's praise, Qin Xuan also knew that he had done the right thing just now, but now he should praise the emperor in person. Even he thinks he is a civil and military all-rounder. Still apologized: "Your Majesty is loved." This is all Cheng Zhijie made it clear, and the minister just made Cheng Zhijie's meaning more clear! ”

"Don't be modest, Qin Aiqing deserves it. It's just a point, and it's not something that just one person can do! In Li Shimin's view, even if he is a hundred years later, if Datang has always had such talents to assist, it will be able to survive for generations.

The others are all old and mature, and naturally they can also see Li Shimin's love for Qin Xuan, and they all brush and brush = bow to the teachers: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for this talent!" ”

"Haha-" Li Shimin laughed, and then said: "Since this is the case, tomorrow morning, the court will order the whole army to send troops, and go straight to Gaochang, and we must let these small states see the majesty of our Tang Dynasty!" ”

Everyone, including Qin Xuan, shouted in unison: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, it's all up, Hou Aiqing, the battle of Gaochang, I plan to let you go!" ”

As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, Hou Junji arched his hand with a happy face: "Minister, I will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations, and I will definitely let Gaochang be taken down with lightning speed, so that the small countries of all states can see the majesty of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Good!" As soon as Li Shimin said a good word, some people below were unhappy.

Cheng Biting Jin snorted coldly, then he stepped out and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, your ...... The minister volunteered to go to Gaochang, and he would definitely not insult the prestige of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, and before he could speak, Cheng Biting Jin then cried with a sad face and sobbed: "Ah...... Does Your Majesty think that the minister is too old to deal with our Datang? ”

Seeing Cheng Biting Jin pretending to cry without tears, Li Shimin laughed embarrassedly, and then persuaded: "Cheng Aiqing, how can I think that you can no longer contribute to the Tang Dynasty, but I am reluctant to go to Gaochang in this winter!" ”

Li Shimin is not pretentious, after all, these people followed him to fight the world back then, and they were all his right-hand men, now that Cheng Yanjin is old and Qin Qiong is gone, if he lets these few old guys have problems, Li Shimin is really unwilling in his heart.

After listening to Li Shimin's words, the minister suggested humming and chirping a few times, and then said: "Your Majesty, don't you hear that Lao Ji is determined to be thousands of miles away, and the minister has no other wishes, the minister just wants to make another contribution to His Majesty's expedition to the east and the west, otherwise when the minister goes down to Jiuquan in the next year and sees Brother Qin, the minister will be shameless!" ”

Cheng Biting Jin is so serious, even taking Li Shimin is not easy to refuse, but it is impossible to let Li Shimin let Cheng Biting Jin go to Gaochang, Li Shimin thought for a while, and was at a loss, so he looked at the others for help.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling also had a little headache, but this Cheng Cheng was patriotic and sincere, and he was embarrassed to persuade him, Qin Xuan didn't know what to think, so he opened his mouth and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

The crowd looked at it suspiciously for a long time, and Li Shimin didn't understand why, so he asked, "Qin Aiqing, what do I have to congratulate?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is moved by Cheng Zhijie's high wind and bright festival, thinking that Your Majesty has such a good minister, the minister feels that this is Your Majesty's joy!" A faint smile appeared on the corner of Qin Xuan's mouth.

Li Shimin was even more suspicious, but he still said: "Yes, in my life, there are indeed many famous ministers, and now that I think about it, this is indeed a happy event for me!" ”

Cheng Yanjin thought that Qin Xuan was preparing to help him, and immediately said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I also hope to fulfill the old minister's heart of serving the country!" ”

After Qin Xuan's trouble, Li Shimin had a hard time riding a tiger, and now he didn't agree, and he didn't agree. I couldn't help but look at it with some complaint. Qin Xuan naturally saw it, but he didn't pay any attention to it, he directly turned his head to look at Cheng Yanjin, and said, "Cheng Zhijie, the lower official has a few words, I don't know if I should say it or not?" ”

Cheng Yanjin thought of Qin Xuan helping him just now, and immediately spoke: "Your Majesty is also here at this moment, what do you have to say." Just say it! ”

In fact, Qin Xuan was joking with his head, after all, when he was still on the side today, he was ready to talk to other ministers, if it weren't for Li Shimin's broadness, Qin Xuan's hundred heads would not be enough to cut off.

Fang Xuanling and eldest grandson Wuji on the side were both sweating for Qin Xuan, but Li Shimin waved his hand slightly to signal the two not to speak. Qin Xuan Yuguang saw Li Shimin waving his hand, so he spoke: "Cheng Zhijie, I heard that you fought for Your Majesty in the south and the north back then, and made the enemy frightened!" ”

Cheng Yanjin heard Qin Xuan praising himself. In order to be able to go to Gaochang. is not ashamed, and immediately echoed: "Heh, if it weren't for the fact that he was a little old, but Cheng Biting Jin's name would be able to scare Gao Chang!" ”

Qin Xuan not only finished speaking. Hurriedly said: "That's it." Even now. According to the lower officials, Cheng Zhijie led the troops to go on the expedition, and the news reached Gaochang. It will definitely make Gaochang Qu Wentai scared half to death! ”

Hearing this, Cheng Yanjin laughed, Qin Xuan's words were really right, and it suddenly made Cheng Yanjin feel good. Qin Xuan saw Cheng Biting Jin and raised his eyebrows, and immediately echoed: "Cheng Zhijie, just now Your Majesty's intention is to make a fuss about Gaochang and make an example, if the news of your army's march spreads, how can you convince Gaochang Qu Wentai, although he can surrender obediently, but he will definitely think that we are in the Tang Dynasty, only Cheng Zhijie is alone, when the time comes, if Cheng Zhijie has anything to do, go to command the troops elsewhere for His Majesty, Qu Wentai will go back and forth, left and right, won't it leave a scourge to the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"He dares!" Cheng Yanjin didn't think much about it and blurted out.

Others, including Li Shimin, finally understood what Qin Xuan meant, especially Hou Junji's heart was as clear as a mirror, his eyes rolled, and he immediately said: "Cheng Zhijie, the battle of Gaochang, it's better for the juniors to go, just Gaochang, the juniors can let it be destroyed, General Cheng is the pillar of the Tang Dynasty, why don't you do it!" ”

As soon as Hou Junji's voice fell, Fang Xuanling on the side also persuaded: "That's it, Lao Cheng, Gaochang is just a land of projectiles, if it is because of this land of projectiles, you will go out, won't it make outsiders think that we have no one in the Tang Dynasty?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also understood what Qin Xuan meant, followed Fang Xuanling's words, and then persuaded: "That is, you are a famous old general to fight with the juniors, are you ashamed or not!" ”

As soon as the white face and red face came out, Cheng Biting Jin hesitated a little, Li Shimin saw the opportunity to act, and immediately said: "Cheng Aiqing, I also understand Aiqing's patriotism, but, just like Qin Xuan's words, Aiqing should not go out in this matter!" ”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he looked at Qin Xuan with great appreciation, and was even happier in his heart, this Qin Xuan is really a second person, just a few words, and he persuaded Cheng Yanjin, an old stubborn.

Cheng Yanjin no longer insisted, and Li Shimin was also happy, and immediately said: "Hou Aiqing, this time to send troops to Gaochang, only victory is allowed, not defeat!" ”

Hou Junji didn't just think of anything, his eyes rolled, and he proposed: "Your Majesty, the minister will definitely not live up to Your Majesty's trust!" After a slight pause, Hou Junji continued: "Your Majesty, the minister has a moment of begging, if Your Majesty agrees, the minister can make a military order, and Gaochang will definitely be able to take it!" ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin was slightly stunned, and then asked: "Although Hou Aiqing said it, I want to hear it, what is it that is so helpful for Aiqing to send troops!" ”

When Hou Junji heard this, he immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to ...... The minister wants Qin Xuan to go out with the minister! ”

As soon as Hou Junji's words fell, Qin Xuan began to muttered in his heart: "This Hou Junji is really, why do you pull yourself into the water, it's okay now, I originally wanted to live a peaceful life for a while and wanted Li Shimin to submit his resignation, what can I do?" Thinking of this, Qin Xuan couldn't help frowning and staring directly at Hou Junji.

When Li Shimin saw Qin Xuan frowning, he knew that Qin Xuan's laziness was starting to trouble, and after a slight pause, he smiled and said, "Okay, I am sure of this matter, and I will make an order tomorrow morning!" ”

As soon as Qin Xuan was about to speak, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Okay, you all stand down, I'm a little tired!" Suddenly, I didn't know what I thought, and added: "Qin Aiqing, go back and write a chapter, and write out the details of Aiqing's trip to me in the original!" Step aside! ”

"Wait for the resignation!" Although he was unwilling, Qin Xuan still followed the rest of the people and bowed in unison.

Seeing Qin Xuan leave, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Li Shimin's mouth, and he secretly slandered in his heart: "Hey, no one is perfect, Qin Xuan, this kid, is obviously talented, but he is born with a lazy heart." If I don't whip it well, how can this piece of good jade become a great talent? ”

After leaving the palace, Hou Junji presented a treasure to Qin Xuan and said, "Haha, Qin Xian's nephew, the old man reciprocated the favor and gave you this great achievement, how about it?" ”

"Not good!" Qin Xuan glanced at Hou Junji and blurted out.

Fang Xuanling and eldest grandson Wuji knew Qin Xuan better. And he has been an official for many years. Naturally, they could see through Qin Xuan, glanced at each other, and shook their heads together. But Hou Junji didn't understand, seeing Qin Xuan like this. Suspiciously, he asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Qin Xuan said angrily: "It's not interesting! ”

Hou Junji listened. I'm not happy. With his own kindness, Qin Xuan didn't appreciate it, why did he still treat himself like this. Immediately snorted coldly: "Qin Xuan, if you don't make it clear today, you won't be allowed to leave!" ”

Seeing that Hou Junji was angry, Cheng Yanjin didn't know why he said: "That's it, Qin Xuan Xiaoyou, what does this mean, Hou Xiaozi is indeed a good intention!" ”

Qin Xuan sighed deeply and didn't speak, Fang Xuanling on the side smiled slightly, and explained for Qin Xuan: "Old Hou, you are doing something wrong with good intentions, Qin Xuan, this kid doesn't want to be so tired!" ”

At this point, Hou Junji also understood, looked at Qin Xuan, and sighed: "Qin Xuan Xiaoyou, didn't the old man see that you are in Bashu and Hangzhou, and you are doing everything beautifully, and I want to help you?" ”

Qin Xuan also felt that he had gone too far just now, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Lord Hou, how much the juniors offended just now, don't blame the net!" ”

Hou Junji is not a small person, seeing Qin Xuan's apology, he smiled, and then said: "Qin Xuan Xiaoyou, although you can rest assured, once this matter is over, but next time, the old man will definitely listen to your meaning first!" ”

Qin Xuan shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Hey, there is no next time, when Gao Chang comes back, the junior will resign!" After this period of experience, the younger generation understands that the younger generation still hopes for the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and the younger generation is really physically and mentally exhausted in the face of the affairs of the imperial court! ”

After Qin Xuan finished speaking, he directly said goodbye, scattered with a few people, and went home directly.

Looking at Qin Xuan's back, coupled with Qin Xuan's remarks, Fang Xuanling and the others all widened their eyes, waiting for Qin Xuan with a bright future, but they didn't expect Qin Xuan to resign. Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji glanced at each other, and then directly turned back to the palace.

Li Shimin is still in the imperial study, the corners of his mouth have been curved, no need to think about it, he knows that Li Shimin is very happy now, and the reason for his happiness is naturally Qin Xuan. Unexpectedly, Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji, who had just retired, turned around and returned, hearing the news, Li Shimin couldn't help muttering in his heart: "En? Why did this Fang Qing and the eldest grandson Aiqing come back again, could it be that there is something important to report to me? Thinking of this, Li Shimin said directly in a deep voice: "Xuan! ”

Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji entered the imperial study, and before they saluted, Li Shimin asked: "Two Aiqing, didn't you just retire, why did you turn around and return again?" ”

Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji glanced at each other and shook their heads, Fang Xuanling is fine, New China has a little pity for Qin Xuan, but the eldest grandson Wuji is a little dissatisfied with Qin Xuan, and blurted out directly: "Your Majesty, the minister is indeed retribution!" ”

"Oh? Then let's hear it! Li Shimin stretched out his hand and signaled.

"Your Majesty, just now the ministers and others retired, and I was shocked to hear that Qin Xuan had already intended to resign!" The eldest grandson Wuji said without hurrying or hurrying.

"What? Qin Xuan is resigning? Li Shimin lost his voice. Looking at the appearance, he was very surprised, thinking that he was still happy to have a minister like Qin Xuan just now, how could he not be surprised when he suddenly heard the news.

It's like a person who bought a lottery ticket, originally saw the lottery, saw that he won five million, but suddenly heard that the lottery doesn't count, this ups and downs, like the feeling of getting in the car, can you not be surprised?

Seeing Li Shimin's urgency, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, it's true!" ”

Li Shimin frowned slightly, secretly thought about it for a long time, and felt that he was not sorry for Qin Xuan, so he immediately asked, "Does Aiqing know why?" ”

"This ......" Eldest Sun Wuji hesitated for a long time, shook his head, and did not speak.

Seeing this, Li Shimin turned his head directly in a little anxious, looked at Fang Xuanling, and asked, "Does Fang Qing know the reason?" ”

Fang Xuanling thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Qin Xuan is not interested in officialdom, and he is not interested in making meritorious contributions!" Just now he also said that he hoped to be able to live in the clouds and wild cranes, whether it was Qin Xuan's nature like this, or what was the feeling during this inspection of the heavens, and the minister didn't know! ”

Fang Xuanling's analysis does have some truth, the reason why Qin Xuan was able to resign again was indeed because he was a little tired from this inspection on behalf of the sky.

Li Shimin sighed and said: "It's not a secret, I think that Qin Xuan's son is a piece of fine jade, and he is ready to carve it...... Ay! ”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other, shook their heads, and did not speak.

Li Shimin didn't know what to think, snorted coldly, and said: "Fang Qing, eldest grandson Aiqing, you two will then investigate Qin Xuan's inspection on behalf of the heavens, I want to see if it is the thing that does not open his face, and it actually makes Qin Xuan resign!" After a slight pause, Li Shimin continued: "Qin Xuan, this son, wants to resign, hum, impossible!" (To be continued......)
