Zhu Hongwen's thoughts made his parents feel a little cold, and the son he raised with hard work turned out to be such a selfish person. Mrs. Zhu didn't say anything, she was completely disappointed at this moment, she glanced at Zhu Hongwen blankly, just shook her head and didn't speak. At this moment, she actually has nothing to say, it is useless to say anything, the deeply hurt heart is impossible to recover, her eyes are gradually red, and faint bloodshots slowly appear, laying a blood-colored net on her pupils......

Although Zhu Xianling is a little stupid, he is not mentally retarded after all, in order for the Zhu family's incense to continue, he can sacrifice for his son, but Zhu Hongwen's approach also makes him feel a little. Even if Zhu Hongwen can be allowed to leave today, even if this catastrophe can be passed safely today, even if it ...... With a heart like Zhu Hongwen and such a selfish idea, there will definitely be no good end.

Zhu Xianling was also stunned, and he didn't have anything to say, he stretched out his hand tremblingly and grabbed Mrs. Zhu, who was also distressed on the side, and walked into the inner hall on the side by himself. Mrs. Zhu was only slightly stunned, and then she didn't make any moves, but she was still pulled by Zhu Xianling and walked towards the inner hall......

Zhu Hongwen, who was anxious, saw his parents like this, and he was a little confused, so he opened his mouth, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally didn't say a word. Suddenly thinking of Qin Xuan, he no longer put his mind on Zhu Xianling and Mrs. Zhu, grabbed the package on the side, and quietly walked out of the room.

Although the entire yamen was surrounded by Qin Xuan and others, however, there was no one inside, not that Qin Xuan did not have this idea. But after all, there are only 500 people in Qianniuwei, and it is already very difficult to surround a huge yamen, and it is necessary to carefully deploy defenses inside. It's simply not possible.

Zhu Hongwen also knew this, and when he left the room, he didn't know how to break out of the encirclement outside the wall. Standing in the courtyard, Zhu Hongwen was even more frightened in his heart, thinking of the pair of majestic Qianniuwei across the wall, he really shuddered......

Just when Zhu Hongwen was wandering outside the courtyard, Zhu Xianling and Mrs. Zhu in the room were sitting in the inner hall. Zhu Xianling took Mrs. Zhu's hand. With a wry smile, he said, "Li'er, Hong Wen......"

Zhu Xianling did not finish. Mrs. Zhu directly reached out to block Zhu Xianling's mouth, shook her head, and said with a smile: "Master, you said it!" It's all the sins of you and me. If it weren't for you, I would have doted on him too much. How could he be like this? ”

When Zhu Xianling heard this, he sighed deeply, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Yes, it's all my fault!" ”

"Master, don't say that, now, let him fend for himself. Just now, you and I were also concerned about the chaos, even if we could find a way to send him out of the county office. According to his temperament, do you think he will survive? ”

Mrs. Zhu has always been the think tank of Zhu County Order, Zhu County Order A stupid person can do this county order for so many years, if it weren't for Mrs. Zhu making suggestions behind the scenes, it would be impossible, Mrs. Zhu said this now, which made Zhu County Ling slightly stunned, but only slightly stunned, and then relieved. "Li'er, you're right, it's a pity that my Zhu family's incense is about to be broken, if I go to Jiuquan, how can I meet the ancestors of the Zhu family?"

When Zhu Xianling spoke, a gloomy mist suddenly fainted between his eyebrows, and a stream of disappointment and helplessness also burst out from his heart.

Mrs. Zhu and Zhu Xianling talked freely in the house for a while, knowing that they vaguely heard the sound of fighting outside the door, so they glanced at each other, pulled out a handful of golden hairpins from their heads, did not speak, neither of them spoke, and a smile appeared at the corners of their mouths, until the golden hairpin was inserted into their bodies by Mrs. Zhu, and they could see a blood overflowing from the corner of Mrs. Zhu's mouth.

Zhu Xianling's eyes were tightly closed, and then he hugged Mrs. Zhu and smiled: "Li'er, wait for me to ......" While speaking, Zhu Xianling grabbed Mrs. Zhu's hand holding the golden hairpin, flipped out, and stabbed directly into his body......

The sound of fighting outside the door was tight for a moment, and Zhu Hongwen, who was weak, or Zhu Hongwen, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, saw Qianniuwei's horizontal knife clamped around his neck, so he knelt directly on the ground, and under the robe, he was directly frightened and peed his pants. This also made several Qianniuwei very disdainful, and there was a trace of disgust in their eyes when they looked at Zhu Hongwen.

Zhu Hongwen knelt on the ground, threw the package he was carrying to the ground, and sobbed: "Lord, please, let me go, these gold, silver and jewelry are all for you, please open up the net!" ”

Not to mention a little gold and silver jewelry in the package, even if there is more gold and silver things, it will definitely not let Qianniuwei shake his nature, looking at Zhu Hongwen like a clown jumping off the beam, Qianniuwei didn't want to talk to him anymore, and directly stepped forward to lift Zhu Hongwen up, and wanted to go to the yamen lobby, and a Qianniuwei on the side rushed directly into the room, ready to go Zhu Xianling also slipped out, but he didn't expect to see two bodies embracing each other, and Zhu Xianling and Mrs. Zhu both left with a wry smile......

Qin Xuan sat in the lobby, looking not calm, but all the officials in the hall were walking on thin ice, although they had discussed the countermeasures through their eyes before, they were still a little worried, I don't know whether Qin Xuan was only going to clean up the Zhu County Order this time, or if they had to clean it up together, although Qin Xuan was just a passerby, no one dared to be sloppy.

The so-called countermeasures also depend on what Qin Xuan thinks. After a while, everyone will have already written, and everyone has written out very tacitly about the Zhu County Order's family doing evil in Guangling, except for the matter of the Zhu County Order, the others are not mentioned, as if except for the Zhu County Order, the officials in Guangling are all good young people who are the masters of the people and are conscientious.

The straw papers full of words that were collected by Li Qingrui were neatly stacked on the table. Qin Xuan picked up one from it very casually, and began to read it carefully. The more he read, the happier Qin Xuan became, these officials were not a group of old foxes, and when he mentioned it casually, he understood what he meant. Cutting down these evil things of the Zhu family, Qin Xuan couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, a Qianniuwei hurriedly walked in from outside the door and walked to the middle of the lobby. Clasped his hands into fists, knelt on the ground and said, "Lord Qiyu, Zhu Hongwen is preparing to abscond with a soft hand." has been taken, Zhu Xianling and his wife both committed suicide and the inner hall. ”

Hearing this, all the officials widened their eyes and stared at Qian Niuwei with sideways eyes, and their hearts were even more mixed, in addition to sympathy for Zhu Xianling, there was also awe for Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan was also a little surprised. The matter was already beyond his expectations, originally Qin Xuan only wanted to make the Zhu Xianling family suffer some hardships, but he didn't think about directly getting rid of the three members of the Zhu family. But right now, looking at it, even if he is not ready to move the Zhu family, there is no way. If you don't give an explanation. This may mean how many Imperial Doctors will make their own small reports in front of Li Shimin.

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Xuan sighed deeply and said in a deep voice: "Where is the county master's book?" ”

A tall and thin man who was a little older came out of the ranks and said, "The lower official is here!" ”

"These are all the cases of you exposing the crimes of Zhu County, you put them away, investigate all the things during the period when Zhu County's order was an official, and you must give an explanation to the people of Guangling. As for Zhu County's suicide. Then you want to tell the Xuzhou Assassin Mansion, and the official will also explain it to the imperial court! Qin Xuan spoke. He stood up and stood majestic, not angry and arrogant, which made the Chinese officials a little awe-inspired.

The county master, whose real name is Wang Lingkun, is also an upright person in Guangling, Qin Xuan has long heard what Qian Ruhai said. Qin Xuan also wanted to tell the Assassin Mansion that he intended to let Wang Lingkun accept the position of county commander of Zhu County.

Hearing Qin Xuan's words, Wang Lingkun was slightly stunned, then figured out what Qin Xuan meant, glanced at Qin Xuan gratefully, and bowed directly: "Your subordinates obey orders!" ”

The other officials all had some envy for Wang Lingkun, of course they knew that Qin Xuan did this to let Wang Lingkun accept the position of county order. Later, they saw that Qin Xuan often went in and out of the Qian family, and after inquiring, they learned that Qin Xuan was the son-in-law of the Qian family. Thinking that Wang Lingkun could temporarily govern Guangling, they finally knew that this was not an accident, but that Wang Lingkun had helped the Qian family before, and they didn't say anything about it except regret it.

Wang Lingkun knows that he is also very positive, although he is the county master book, but according to the usual view, few can change from the county master book to the county order, except for hearing that there is such a thing in Hangzhou, he is also a miracle.

He was also a little grateful to Qin Xuan and Wang Lingkun, of course, he also knew that he had such a big opportunity because he had helped the Qian family at the beginning. Thinking of helping the Qian family by mistake at that time, Wang Lingkun also said that it was the green smoke on his ancestral grave. And it's still billowing smoke.

I don't know if Wang Lingkun is because of Qin Xuan, or because of what, Zhu Xianling's matter, it only took three days to sort out the physical evidence, human evidence, including Zhu Hongwen's confession. When Qin Xuan saw this, he didn't have the joy of completely stepping on Zhu Hongwen under his feet, not only Qin Xuan was a little puzzled, but even Wang Lingkun, who came to report it, didn't know why. Qin Xuan just explained simply, asked Wang Lingkun to deal with it according to the law, and left directly.

Back at the Qian family, Qian Ruhai looked at his brother-in-law, and he also had mixed feelings, in addition to the envy of Qin Xuan for being able to do so much in just three years, there was also awe of Qin Xuan, yes. Even if Qin Xuan is his brother-in-law, he is only a brother-in-law, and the matter between Qin Xuan and Qian Ruyu is still a scar in Qian Ruhai's heart.

Qian Ruhai is not afraid that Qin Xuan will hold grudges, in fact, there is nothing to hold grudges, but no matter how you say it, it is also a little awe-inspiring to Qian Ruhai.

Qin Xuan also saw Qian Ruhai's abnormality, pulled Qian Ruhai to sit in the pavilion in the back garden of the Qian family, and persuaded Qian Ruhai slowly and became less polite.

After living in Guangling for a period of time, the will of the imperial court also came down, in addition to letting Wang Lingkun become the magistrate of Guangling County as he wished, he also let Qin Xuan leave and return to Beijing. It was Qin Xuan's old friend Yang Hengjun who came to announce the decree, and after Yang Hengjun read out the decree, he and Qin Xuan sat in the inner hall to drink and talk.

After three rounds of drinking, Yang Hengjun chuckled and said, "Master Qin, this way can be described as a great achievement!" ”

Qin Xuan stretched out his hand and said modestly: "Gonggong Yang is really elevated, it's all a coincidence, it's just a tone!" ”

"Hehe, what Master Qin said, there are so many people in our Datang, there are countless people who want to have your luck!"

Qin Xuan shook his head and replied, "Gonggong Yang, don't exaggerate anymore!" By the way, Your Majesty is in such a hurry this time, what is the matter with the edict returning to Beijing next time? ”

"What's at stake, the miscellaneous family also knows. But it should be related to the Western Regions! ”

Qin Xuan frowned and asked urgently, "Western Regions, what does this have to do with the Western Regions?" ”

"This miscellaneous family really doesn't know. Master Qin don't ask anymore, since His Majesty has issued an edict, don't worry, when we return to Beijing, someone will naturally tell you, Master Qin and Fang Xiang, as well as the eldest grandson. The relationship between Cheng Zhijie and others, the miscellaneous family can know it clearly! Are you afraid that you can't know about these things in the court? ”

Qin Xuanzheng and Yang Heng were both drinking in the inner hall. Qian Ruhai slowly walked in holding a wooden box, Qin Xuan was a little confused, but he still got up and introduced: "Father-in-law Yang, this is under the eldest brother Qian Ruhai." Doing business here! ”

Yang Hengjun saw Qian Ruhai holding a wooden box. smiled slightly, and said to Qian Ruhai: "It turned out to be Qian Yuanwai!" The miscellaneous family has a reason! ”

Qian Ruhai hurriedly replied: "Isn't Grandpa Yang in trouble!" As he spoke, he put the wooden box in front of Yang Hengjun, and then said: "Father-in-law Yang, I heard Zhihao say that Father-in-law Yang has lived in the deep palace for a long time and lacks nothing, but Father-in-law Yang can come to the cold house. It's really full of splendor, and this is some Guangling specialty. Although it is not valuable, it is also some of the thoughts of Xia Hezhihao. ”

Although Qin Xuan also knew that Yang Hengjun would definitely have to send something when he came, Qin Xuan originally planned to wait for the time to leave, and prepare some, but he didn't expect that Qian Ruhai would send it.

In fact, this can only show that Qian Ruhai has been in the mall for a long time, and he naturally knows a little about officialdom, and his brother-in-law Qin Xuan has helped him so much, how can he not say something. Giving Qin Xuan money will only reduce his identity, and maybe it will also make Qin Xuan have some bad influence on himself, which is not the result that Qian Ruhai wants.

Yang Hengjun's arrival can be regarded as giving Qian Ruhai a chance to perform, and giving Qin Xuan such a gift will naturally shorten the distance between him and Qin Xuan.

Yang Hengjun wanted to refuse and put away the wooden box, his eyebrows were even more happy, he was even more optimistic about Qin Xuan, as well as Qin Xuan's eldest brother, these are all people who are on the road, he is a eunuch, between money and power, he can't get his own rights, whether he has that capital or not, of course he loves money very much.

This is not only Yang Hengjun's problem, but also a common problem of all eunuchs in ancient times, but some people attach more importance to power, such as the famous nine thousand years old, while some people value money more, just like Yang Hengjun in front of him.

Don't look at the wooden box is a little small, but the wooden box is not light, Yang Hengjun had some difficulty to get the wooden box aside, and then came to Qian Ruhai to drink wine together, this is a recognition of Qian Ruhai, but also to Qin Xuan face, after all, Qian Ruhai is a businessman in a remote county, Yang Hengjun still looks down on it.

But this businessman is Qin Xuan's eldest brother, it's different, Qin Xuan is a celebrity in front of His Majesty, maybe he will be the emperor in the future, and he has a good relationship with Qin Xuan, Yang Hengjun still knows.

The three of them understood the importance of each other, so they naturally drank and enjoyed themselves.

After a few days, Qin Xuan and the others finally set off to return to Beijing, although Mrs. Qian was a little reluctant, but there was no way, and in the end, Qin Xuan said that it was okay to let his mother-in-law come to Kyoto to sit at home, so Mrs. Qian let him go.

This can only be said that Mrs. Qian still loves Qian Ruyu, and she still has some resentment about being sorry for Qian Ruyu before, and she also feels a little guilty about Qin Xuan.

As for the other officials in Guangling, except for Wang Lingkun who became Qin Xuan's person, other people who did not rely on him also slowly wanted Wang Lingkun to get closer, but from this point of view, Qian Ruhai will never be looked down upon in Guangling in the future, let alone bullied.

After more than a month of travel, Qin Xuan and the others finally returned to Kyoto, except for Qin Xuan who followed Yang Hengjun directly into the palace, everyone else went to Qin Xuan's home in Kyoto.

It has been the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, and it is about to enter winter, the wind of late autumn has blown into all parts of the Tang Dynasty, and the leaves of Kyoto have been blown off I don't know how many.

The palace is still the palace, but Taizong Li Shimin has begun to grow old slowly, Qin Xuan was taken to the imperial study by Yang Hengjun, Taizong has already been waiting for Qin Xuan in the imperial study, in addition to Taizong, Qin Xuan's old friend Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, Cheng Yanjin and others are all on both sides.

Qin Xuan straightened his clothes, then slowly walked into the imperial study, walked a few steps, and bowed to his knees: "Minister Qin Xuan has seen Your Majesty!" ”

Taizong saw Qin Xuan's face suddenly smile, but he didn't get up, he stretched out his hand and signaled: "Qin Aiqing, get up quickly!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Qin Xuan replied respectfully. Then he got up solemnly and stood aside.

Taizong smiled and said, "Qin Aiqing has come all the way, and it can be said that he has done a lot of things on behalf of me. Especially those wingmen in Bashu, it can be said that they are strategizing! ”

Qin Xuan bowed slightly, and hurriedly excused himself: "This is all thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, and the ministers can fortunately destroy all these chaotic ministers and thieves without dishonoring their lives!" ”

"Haha-" Hearing this, Taizong laughed a few times, and then said: "Qin Aiqing's chef is well-organized and not arrogant. It is worthy of being a model for hundreds of officials! After a slight pause, Taizong looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and the others, and then said: "Changshi Aiqing." Fang Qing, I'm afraid that there will be a successor, our Datang is really talented! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other, and said in unison: "This is all Your Majesty's blessing!" ”、

Hearing this, Taizong frowned. Angry, he said, "Okay." When did the two of you learn such compliments, if Wei Zheng heard this, maybe how he would scold the two of you! ”

As soon as Taizong said and laughed, everyone, including Qin Xuan, laughed a few times, especially Cheng Yanjin, who laughed a few times at the top of his throat, and his funny appearance made Qin Xuan and the others laugh even more.

After the laughter, Taizong stretched out his hand and waved. His face slowly became serious, and he said, "Qin Aiqing." Do you know why I was in such a hurry to call you back to Kyoto? ”

Qin Xuan's eyes rolled, and he thought about it in his mind for a while, but he really didn't understand it, so he bowed his head and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know!" ”

Taizong raised his eyebrows, slightly angry, and said lightly: "Eldest grandson Aiqing, you tell him!" ”

Seeing Li Shimin so angry, Qin Xuan also said that he had done something bad, which made Li Shimin angry, his eyebrows furrowed, and he recalled in his mind what he had done since he left Beijing, and he didn't want to be okay.

In addition to adopting Li Jiancheng's daughter, he also helped the Qian family clean up the Zhu family in Guangling, the more he thought about it, the bigger his head became, until the eldest grandson Wuji spoke, Qin Xuan settled down, and after listening carefully to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, he finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that it was about Gao Chang, and it didn't matter to Qin Xuan, it was related, and it was said that it was related, but it was not next to each other.

Listening to the meaning of the eldest grandson Wuji, Qu Wentai, the king of Gaochang, had accompanied his wife Yuwen as early as the fourth year of Zhenguan, and personally came to Chang'an to meet Li Shimin, Taizong was very happy at that time, and also gave his wife the surname Li, the pre-clan relative, and the princess of Changle. This can be described as the emperor's grace, but unexpectedly, later Qu Wentai unified the Western Turks because of the Western Turkic Yibi Lu Khan, and the momentum was huge, and it was relatively close to Gaochang, so he attached himself to the Western Turks. This is a betrayal for Datang, or for Li Shimin.

Although this made Taizong Li Shimin a little angry, he was not angry, but he was just a little unhappy, but this Qu Wentai did not want to be attached to the Western Turks, and also trained troops with the Western Turks to violate the border, entered the palace Yiwu, plundered Yanqi, and even blocked the trade routes between the Tang Dynasty and the countries of the Western Regions, which not only affected the business life of the people around the Tang Dynasty, but also cut off the road for the countries of the Western Regions to enter the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute.

Not long ago, His Majesty had issued an edict ordering Qu Wentai to enter the court, and wanted to question him face to face, but unexpectedly, this Qu Wentai didn't know if he had eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and he said that he was sick and couldn't come. How could Taizong not be angry. Summoned Qin Xuan back to Beijing because of this, after all, this is about the face of the Tang Dynasty.

In ancient times, the imperial court paid great attention to face, and this behavior of Qu Wentai had completely angered Li Shimin.

After Qin Xuan heard what happened, he was also a little annoyed with Qu Wentai in his heart, this kind of wall grass, but if you don't send troops to destroy it, how can you swallow this breath. Not to mention, Li Shimin, who is a horseman.

Qin Xuan didn't think much about it at all, and blurted out: "Your Majesty, such a chaotic minister and thief, the minister suggests that he directly send troops to exterminate him, and don't let him know how powerful our Datang is, he won't be convinced, he must let him know that it hurts, he will be afraid, and he will be a vassal country of our Datang in peace!" ”

As soon as Qin Xuan's voice fell, Cheng Biting Jin on the side, Hou Junji and others directly opened their mouths and echoed: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Seeing Qin Xuan, Cheng Yanjin and the others so eager and excited, Fang Xuanling's brows couldn't help frowning, and even the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but shake his head. Li Shimin was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it a little, he knew what Qin Xuan meant, after all, this Gaochang not only had the heart of disobedience, but also colluded to build the sixth department, this is Li Shimin's biggest heart disease, and he still wants to cover up his murder of his brother and father until now.

After a long time, Li Shimin asked, "Qin Aiqing." Now that it is late autumn, if you send troops to Gaochang, won't you have to march in winter. It's not good for the march! I don't know if Qin Aiqing is just out of anger at Gao Chang's actions, or if he already has a plan? ”

In fact, this is the purpose of Li Shimin to call Qin Xuan back to Beijing, whether to fight Gaochang or not is okay in Li Shimin's opinion, and even if he wants to fight, he is afraid, after all, the iron cavalry created by Li Shimin himself is not jealous, and there are more strange sword soldiers waiting for him.

Qin Xuan was indeed angry just now. He was not happy to see the behavior of Qu Wentai, the king of Gaochang, perhaps because of the patriotic education of later generations. Qin Xuan was speechless for a long time. In the eyes of Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji, Qin Xuan's words just now were just a momentary quick talk. And Li Shimin was a little disappointed in Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan thought for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has the courage to ask. If His Majesty is the King of Gaochang. Do you think that our Datang will march in winter? ”

As soon as Qin Xuan's words fell, the eldest grandson Wuji was unhappy, and reprimanded: "Qin Xuan, Your Majesty is the son of the Tang Dynasty, how can he do such a thing as a courtesy of Qin and Dusk!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Xuan sighed and explained, "Lord Eldest Sun, the lower official just said. If yes, yes! ”

"Hmph. What if, what if, is not possible! ”

Qin Xuan was a little speechless when he heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, what is this, he originally wanted Li Shimin and others to explain their thoughts by putting themselves in their shoes and empathy, but they were unexpectedly said by the eldest grandson Wuji, and they didn't know how to explain it.

After being silent for a long time, Fang Xuanling figured out Qin Xuan's thoughts, and asked: "Zhihao, do you want to say that Qu Wentai, the king of Gaochang, would not have thought that we would march in winter, and then take Gaochang by surprise?" ”

Seeing Fang Xuanling relieve himself, Qin Xuan hurriedly said, "Yes, this is one of them!" ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he said, "Oh? Could it be that there is another one? ”

Qin Xuan bowed his head respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!" First, it is not easy to attack it when it is unprepared. Second, the winter march is not good for our Datang, but it will also be bad for Gaochang. According to the minister, our guards of the Tang Dynasty must be stronger than the defenders of Gaochang! ”

As soon as Qin Xuan's words fell, Hou Junji on the side echoed: "Your Majesty, Qin Xuan's words are true, the Gaochang defenders and our Tang guards can't be compared at all, let alone our Tang Dynasty's Mo sword soldiers!" ”

Seeing Taizong Li Shimin nodding slightly, Qin Xuan then said, "Your Majesty, there is another three!" ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin hurriedly stretched out his hand and signaled, "Oh? Come on! ”

Qin Xuan bowed his head slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why King Gaochang has the courage to dare to face our Tang Dynasty Qin Duchu, according to the ministers, must have other backers, for example, the Western Turks adjacent to Gaochang, if the Western Turks put pressure on Gaochang State, that Qu Wentai should not dare not listen, after all, Gaochang is a small country, and only by meeting the source left and right can it survive!" ”

Listening to Qin Xuan's words, Li Shimin also fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he spoke: "Qin Aiqing, according to your inference, is it possible that I still want to let him Qu Wentai go left and right?" ”

"Nope! Your Majesty, as the minister said just now, Gaochang must exterminate it, because this matter is not just a matter between our Datang and Gaochang! Qin Xuan waved his hand and explained.

"Oh? Qin Aiqing, what do you mean by this? Li Shimin directly lost his voice.

"Your Majesty, there are many of our Datang vassal countries, if Gaochang rebels this time, other vassal countries will know, even if they don't draw a gourd to learn from Gaochang, they will definitely have some opinions about us, which is not only related to the face of our Datang, but also related to the interests of our Datang. If all the subject countries rebel one after another, when the time comes, where is the majesty of our Datang? Qin Xuan said righteously.

Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji, who were on the side, also nodded frequently after listening to Qin Xuan's words, and Cheng Yanjin, Hou Junji and others directly agreed: "Your Majesty, Qin Xuan's words are indeed reasonable, Gao Changxiao's small disciples, they must be exterminated, if they are allowed to become bigger, the majesty of our Tang Dynasty will inevitably be damaged!" ”

Li Shimin thought for a moment, stretched out his hand and gestured: "Qin Aiqing, you go on, tell your thoughts clearly!" ”

Qin Xuan bowed slightly, and then said: "According to the minister, this matter will not only hurt Gao Chang, but also make Qu Wentai feel unbearable pain, only in this way can he remember." Moreover, the minister thought that it was better to do it sooner rather than later, so that the power of deterrence could be maximized! ”

After a slight pause, Qin Xuan continued: "When the minister mentioned the Western Turks just now, it was just the minister's guess. After all, whether Gaochang was held hostage by the Western Turks or not, no one knows at this moment! However, regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with the Western Turks or not. Chen thinks that we should be careful, we must not let the Western Turkic Yibi Lu take advantage of the loophole, so that our Datang is in a dilemma. If it comes to that time, not only will the majesty of our Datang be damaged, but also a large piece of interests, even land! ”

Pursing his lips, Qin Xuan continued: "And the minister just suggested that he immediately prepare to send troops. Also taking into account the local Western Turks. The Western Turks were nomadic peoples, and their cavalry was the least powerful in winter. Moreover, the bad weather will also make the Western Turks hesitate whether to send troops to help, whether there is enough food and grass. Although our Datang will also be affected somewhat, it is not as serious as that of the Western Turks, and when our army approaches Gaochang. The Western Turks even agreed. It may not be possible to rush to Gaochang, when the time comes, Gaochang will be taken by us, and the Western Turks can only stare dryly, but there is no way! ”

The more Li Shimin listened, the more shocked he became, in his opinion, Qin Xuan probably had some constructive views on civil affairs. But he didn't expect Qin Xuan to have such a high attainment in the art of war. After thinking for a moment, Li Shimin turned his head and asked Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji on the side. "Fang Qing, Changshi Aiqing, what do you two think of this matter, what Qin Aiqing said just now, have you two had different opinions?"

Fang Xuanling considered things more thoroughly, he has always been Li Shimin's think tank, he was also very shocked when he heard Qin Xuan's explanation just now, and he was even bigger than Li Shimin, he looked at Qin Xuan sideways, and then looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and only after a long time did he speak: "Your Majesty, I can't hide it, what Qin Xuan said just now, the minister didn't think so much, especially the matter of the Western Turks, the minister also missed it." The minister thought about it carefully, Qin Xuan's words were reasonable, and he said it just right, and the minister seconded the matter of sending troops immediately! ”

After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin was slightly stunned, then turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Wuji, and said, "Eldest grandson Aiqing, you can also tell me what you think!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji bowed slightly, and then spoke: "Your Majesty, Qin Xuan's words and ministers also seconded the proposal, the ministers did not think of the matter of the Western Turks, and after listening to Qin Xuan's words, the ministers felt that the Western Turks should indeed be cautious, and sending troops to Gaochang in winter can indeed indirectly eliminate the factors of the Western Turks, which is beneficial to our Datang!" ”

When Li Shimin heard Fang Xuanling's words just now, he felt a little that Fang Xuanling was promoting Qin Xuan, and after listening to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, combined with his own thoughts, Li Shimin was stunned, this Qin Xuan is really a talent, and he is still an all-round talent in civil and military affairs. However, the matter of sending troops, after all, is a major national event, and it is more necessary to be cautious when sending troops in winter, and then thinking of the factors of the Western Turks, Li Shimin was still a little hesitant, so he asked Cheng Yanjin. "Cheng Aiqing, tell me your opinion!"

Cheng Biting Jin was originally an impatient, fiery temper, hearing the Gaochang villain, he couldn't wait to immediately lead the troops to encircle and suppress, at this moment he saw the hope of sending troops, and he was very happy in his heart, but after all, Cheng Biting Jin had led troops for many days, and he was still a little cautious about the affairs of the soldiers, and after thinking about the words of Qin Xuan and the three of them carefully, he said: "Your Majesty, the ministers can only express their opinions according to the experience of leading troops!" ”

Li Shimin stretched out his hand and signaled: "Cheng Aiqing, I just want you to talk about your views based on your experience in leading troops!" ”

Cheng Yanjin nodded and said: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's understanding of the Western Turkic cavalry, the grass on the ground in winter has withered, and the forage required for war horses is indeed very huge. It should give the Western Turk a headache, such a big thing, it shouldn't be a happy decision. If we send troops to Gaochang, just like Qin Xuan's words, it is indeed unprepared to attack it unprepared, which is beneficial to us. ”
