The Mid-Autumn Festival is undoubtedly very lively, but it is a lively celebration of the whole world, although it is slightly implicated in the court situation, but it is not a very important thing, but the Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, a major event will make the dynasty restless on August 12, the 18th year of Zhenguan, the Silla envoy Park Zhengnan arrived in Beijing, and sent a letter for help, saying that Goguryeo united with Baekje to attack Silla, Silla has gradually become unable to support the battle, and begged the Khan to send troops to solve the danger of Silla, just as the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the emperor has no time to pay attention to it, and did not say a word, and the Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, As soon as the news came out, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar, and the battle between war and non-war was great, and there were different opinions, and there was no agreement, generally speaking, the mainstream trend of thought was mainly war, but it was strongly opposed to the emperor driving to conquer Goguryeo again, and for this reason, the people who wrote the book, however, did not see what the emperor's will was issued, and all the chapters were left in the middle and not sent, and the ministers did not know what the holy intention was, and the disputes arose.

As the saying goes, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, at this time Li Shimin does not express his position, nor does he receive the courtiers, a group of people sit firmly in the posture of Diaoyutai, his old man is not in a hurry, but Li Zhen, who is the prince, is in a hurry, not in a hurry, the courtiers who can't see the old man's face are running to the East Palace one after another, whether it is the main battle or the anti-war, they all ask Li Zhen, the prince of the East Palace, to come forward to find the old man to talk one or two, and the number of people who come makes Li Zhen dizzy, not to mention a good rest, It's just a matter of having a few mouthfuls of food, and after three whole days, poor Li Zhen almost became a giant panda, and her eyes were so dark that she could go on stage to play a harlequin without makeup, so how could Li Zhen not be in a hurry?

Learn from the old man, hide and don't see guests? Good idea! Li Zhen really wants to do this, but it's a pity that he can't, not for anything else, just with the golden crown prince name on the top of his head, Li Zhen can't give people a sense of arrogance and rudeness, not to mention that the courtiers can come to the door, at least it shows that he Li Zhen still has a very high status in the minds of the courtiers, rather than because of the name of arrogance, and push the courtiers who may throw themselves to their brothers, it is better to be tired, and strive to leave a good impression on the courtiers, so as to win over a group of neutral courtiers, so, Despite being full of irritability, Li Zhen was still patient, and dealt with the courtiers who came to the door for one or two, of course, Li Zhen was not foolish until he showed his attitude in public, at best, it was just a haha, Rao is so, but it has made Li Zhen feel very miserable.

Ordinary courtiers come to the East Palace to deal with it, fight haha, Wen Yan comforts him, even if he can explain it, he has seen the main battle, he has a good voice, he has seen the anti-war, he has a good voice, and the left and right are all blind to it, anyway, Li Zhen will never express his position easily, but the posture of the corporal who is friendly and Lixian is full of ten, no one has anything to say, he is tired, but he can still be regarded as a small gain, although Li Zhen is upset, but he can still deal with it, But what made Li Zhen a headache was that he had just sent away a group of courtiers who came to visit, and before he had time to catch his breath, Wang Binghe hurriedly came to report that Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji and Zhu Suiliang had come to visit.

Yes, I can't hide this time! As soon as Li Zhen heard that the three bigwigs had arrived together, she had already guessed the intention of the three prime ministers, and she was ordered to come to interrogate, and the first thing she asked was about the old man's personal conquest, which was for Li Zhen to express his position. What to do? Cold salad, although Li Zhen expected that there might be such a scene in advance, and discussed this matter with the two strategists several times, he has some bottom in his heart, and he may not be able to pass the test, but he is still between the two, and he is not too sure, but everyone has arrived at the gate of the palace, whether it is successful or not, and Li Zhen cannot be allowed to escape.

The old ministers and others have seen His Royal Highness the Prince. Fang Xuanling and the others were accompanied by Wang Binghe, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, and as soon as they walked up the steps in front of the palace gate of the Xiande Palace, they saw the prince Li Zhen standing at the door of the palace with a smile, and they were busy stepping forward, and they saw each other with the courtesy of the monarch and the minister.

The three elders don't have to be polite, please get up quickly, the palace is late, Haihan, Haihan. Li Zhen raised her hand with a smile on her face, and said very politely in her mouth, she has the bearing of being a half-monarch, but she does not lose the etiquette of respecting the three prime ministers Li Zhen is now a half-monarch, and she can personally greet her at the door of the main hall, which itself shows the importance of the three prime ministers' joint visit, obviously, if Li Zhen runs to the door of the palace to greet him, it seems to be more humble, but in fact, it is too much, but it will leave a hypocritical impression on the three prime ministers, only the door of the main hall is just right, so that it does not seem hypocritical, It also fully reflects Li Zhen's respect for the three prime ministers, and the proportions are really clever, which makes the three prime ministers secretly admire in their hearts.

Thank you, Your Highness, the ministers have taken the liberty of coming here, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me. Seeing Li Zhen's demeanor, a smile flashed on the face of Fang Xuanling, who was the head of the three prime ministers, who had just recovered from a serious illness, and replied very politely.

Where, where, the three elders can come, this palace welcomes, please! Li Zhen leaned down gracefully, waved his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and walked into the hall one step ahead, but did not walk to the throne in the middle of the main hall, but walked slowly into the apse and went straight to the study. When he entered the study, Li Zhen politely ordered to sit down, and a group of little eunuchs sent round chairs covered with brocade, a few sons and other things, and served freshly brewed fragrant tea in turn, and then silently all withdrew from the study, leaving only the four monarchs and ministers to sit opposite each other.

The three old prime ministers are all scheming people, and they have ulterior motives here, each of them is thinking about how to speak and say things, and Li Zhenzi doesn't want to expose his guessed thoughts too early, and for a while, the four monarchs and ministers don't speak, and there is a strange silence in this study.

His Royal Highness Mingjian, the old minister has long heard that His Royal Highness is invincible in the power of the battle array, but he has always been on the sonorous side, and he can see the heroic posture of His Royal Highness in the Mid-Autumn Festival polo match, which is breathtaking, and the old minister worships and obeys, and he knows that the rumors are not as good as it, His Royal Highness is mighty, and in today's world, he is almost invincible! In the silence, at the bottom, Zhu Suiliang was the first to lose his breath, and took the lead in opening his mouth with a smile on his face.

Uh-huh, there's weirdness! As soon as Li Zhen heard Zhu Suiliang open his mouth like this, he brought the topic to the war, and while his heart was dark, he smiled and said humbly: The reputation of the servants is excessive, and the palace can get an inch of merit, all of which are due to the grace of the father and the emperor, and the soldiers of the three armies use their lives, and the palace really does not dare to claim its credit.

Oh, His Royal Highness is too modest, with His Royal Highness's great material, the pillar of my dynasty, now the northwest is quiet, all of His Royal Highness's handwriting, the world is not admiring it, and now the north of the small Kou hustle and bustle, His Royal Highness thinks it should be like that? Zhu Suiliang knew that Li Zhen did not leave his hand, and if he wanted to get words out of Li Zhen's mouth, it was even more difficult than ascending to the sky, so he simply picked up the topic directly, as soon as he opened his mouth, Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji, who were originally sitting with their eyebrows down, immediately came to their senses, and they all looked at Li Zhen with blazing eyes, just waiting to see how Li Zhen responded.

Hey, this old comrade's face is really thick enough, and such a sensitive question is actually asked so blatantly, count you ruthless! As soon as he heard Zhu Suiliang ask this, Li Zhen's heart was troubled these days, Li Zhen didn't know how many times he had answered this question, and every time he brought it over vaguely, but it was to the ordinary courtiers, how did Li Zhen say it, no one dared to ask Li Zhen to ask a question, but what he was facing at this time was three old guys, who could not be fooled at will, not to mention that the three giants were very likely to come at the will of the old man, which made Li Zhen have to deal with it carefully, If you accidentally kick it on the iron plate, the fun will be great.

For such a big dynasty as Goguryeo, Li Zhen somewhat understands that although Li Zhen's Yanji business is full of business, most of the main foreign trade routes spread along the Silk Road, as for the Korean Peninsula, because of the small profit margin, there is not much involved, it is just the size of one or two caravans every year, as for the rising sun, because of Li Zhen's attention to the Western Regions, he did not invest too much energy in the north, just a small intelligence station, The information that can be gathered is very limited, and I can only barely know a rough idea. In Li Zhen's view, Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla and other small countries are making trouble, and making trouble is actually just a problem of ringworm and scabies, and it is not a big deal at all, but it is a pity that the old man will not look at it this way, and now the four seas are salty, only Goguryeo dares to come forward to stir up trouble, which makes Li Shimin, who has always regarded himself as the Khan of the Heavens, bound to be intolerable, and furthermore, Li Shimin always has a thought in his heart, that is, the shame of the failure of the Sui expedition to Goguryeo before the snow, in the words of the old man himself, that is, to avenge the children of China, Counting Li Shimin's old man's ambition for thousands of miles, these aspects are added together, and it is destined that the old man's conquest of Goguryeo is inevitable, and the only question is how to fight this war, but the problem is that Li Zhen can't be the master of this war, and even how to fight it may not be Li Zhen's turn to peck one or two.

This battle is inevitable, this Li Zhen knows in his heart that the old man's old and spicy personality, no matter how the courtiers oppose it, he will definitely use troops, but for Li Zhen, the key question now is whether to try to dissuade the old man from personally recruiting As soon as the old man comes out, he will fight this battle according to his strategic formula, and the final result will be a waste of military strength, but nothing will be gained, This can be seen from the history of Li Zhen's previous life, Li Zhen, as a son of man, doesn't want to watch his father be depressed because of this battle, but Li Zhen has doubts about whether he can persuade the old man, and moreover, a group of brothers are looking forward to the old man's personal expedition, so as to find an opportunity to give Li Zhen a fatal blow, and Li Zhen also has the same idea, and he also plans to take advantage of the old man's absence in Beijing to completely defeat a group of ambitious brothers. It is precisely because of such a contradictory psychology that Li Zhen has never made up his mind to deal with this matter in this way, and at this time, he heard Zhu Suiliang ask about the expedition to Goguryeo so directly, which really made Li Zhen not know how to answer for a while, frowning and pondering for a long time, and then said with a solemn face: This matter has been heard by the palace, but it is not very clear, and I implore the servants to analyze it in detail for the palace.

Zhu Suiliang obviously didn't expect that Li Zhen had been thinking about it for so long, and such a sentence came out, the smile on his face froze, and he looked at Li Zhen dumbfounded, and couldn't even speak for a while Li Zhen has met so many courtiers these days, and the thing he discussed is not just the matter of conquering Goguryeo, which no one knows about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and no one knows it, but Li Zhen actually said that he didn't know it at this time, how could Zhu Suiliang believe it?

Your Highness, Goguryeo has made trouble for no reason, and despises the power of my Tang Dynasty, according to His Highness, such a small and barbaric country should be defeated? Seeing that Zhu Suiliang was stunned, the eldest grandson Wuji's eyes flashed, and he asked calmly, which can be regarded as relieving Zhu Suiliang.

Hey, the eldest grandson is really good at talking, you always say that Goguryeo despises me to the sky, isn't that clearly going to war, even so, then what are we doing? Li Zhen's heart was crooked, but his face was still silent, he looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with a straight face, and bowed slightly: What the eldest grandson said is very true, this palace has been taught, but this matter is important, and it must be judged by the father, and everything in the palace is subject to the will of the father.

Seeing that Li Zhen replied and answered, it seemed sincere, but it never leaked, Fang Xuanling's brows wrinkled, and he sighed and said: His Royal Highness the Prince, Goguryeo Xiaokou is rampant and unprovoked, and he should be punished, but then my big army will return, if it is suddenly launched again, once the war is delayed, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the war, and now the saint is the main conscription, and the old ministers and others can not persuade him, so I specially invite His Royal Highness to come out, if His Royal Highness can come forward to recommend himself, the old ministers and others should die to protect His Royal Highness as the commander.

What? What? What? You're always going to push us into the fire pit! As soon as Li Zhen heard Fang Xuanling say this, he was taken aback, his hand trembled, and he almost knocked the tea bowl to the ground, and then he understood that these three bigwigs in the court did not dare to come to ask questions by holy order, but tried to push Li Zhen to compete with Li Shimin for the right to lead the army to Goguryeo, which made Li Zhen feel very crying and laughing in his heart Li Zhen naturally has absolute confidence in how to conquer Goguryeo, and also has an absolute certainty of victory, of course, unless Li Zhen intends to make the gunpowder weapon public in advance, otherwise, It is almost impossible to win quickly, and the gunpowder weapon is Li Zhen's hole card to save his life, and it is easy to reveal the current defense force of the East Palace In addition to the more than 100 cronies brought back by Li Zhen from the Western Regions, the rest are all useless garbage soldiers, and Li Zhen has no way to train this gang of garbage soldiers, otherwise, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the old man, which will lead to the emptiness of Li Zhen's troops, and on the other hand, the brothers all have two thousand elite soldiers in their hands, once these guys also play a change in Xuanwumen, If Li Zhen doesn't have a hole card, what can he do to resist? Moreover, if Li Zhen leads the troops to fight abroad, and fights back and forth like this, the time is too long, in case there is anything wrong in the Beijing Division, then the fun will be great, in this sense, Li Zhen is absolutely impossible to compete for this handsome position, not to mention Li Shimin's character, once he decides to go to the army in person, no one can persuade him, the three prime ministers can't, and Li Zhen can't do it either.

If others say such things, Li Zhen will laugh at most, and just say a few words to prevaricate this topic, but in the face of these three bigwigs in the court, Li Zhen can't talk nonsense, seeing that the three people and six old eyes are staring at themselves, Li Zhen is really helpless, and muttered for a while: As a son of man, it is a matter of course to share worries for his father, this palace is not talented, thanks to the importance of all adults, it is necessary to act according to words, but this matter is important, this palace is still difficult to decide for a while, and let this palace think about it, Can the father be successful again?

Li Zhen said very cautiously, and his tone was very sincere, the three bigwigs in the court could hear it, seeing that Li Zhen did not say anything to prevaricate, nor did he immediately accept it, although he was a little disappointed, but he also knew that the stakes of this matter were important, and he didn't want to ask more, looked at each other, got up in unison, and bowed and saluted: In this case, Your Highness, please consider yourself, and the old ministers will retire.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's go, this palace will not be sent. Li Zhen was not in the mood to be hypocritical, got up, raised his hand, signaled that everyone did not need to be polite, and then asked Wang Binghe to send the three bigwigs out of the East Palace, but he was pacing back and forth in the study, pondering bitterly.

Acting for my father? Oh, what a justifiable reason, the problem is that the old man is bent on proving that he is not old, and as soon as this reason is spoken, I am afraid that he will immediately attract a reprimand and give advice to the old man? Let's not talk about whether the old man can listen to it, even if the old man can listen patiently, I'm afraid that he won't take it seriously, just the old man's great exploits in his life, and it is not our turn to be a son to guide, doesn't that mean that the old man is not as good as us? There's no place to beg for a fight, isn't it? Turn a deaf ear to? It's not possible, the courtiers have come one after another in the past few days, how can the old man not know, not to mention that the three prime ministers have appeared, how can the old man have no ideas, don't say a word, I'm afraid this level will not pass, but how to say it, it's really an annoying thing! Li Zhen paced back and forth, but the more she thought about it, the more chaotic she became, her forehead was covered with sweat and she didn't care to wipe it, she thought about it for a long time, but she never got anything, she shook her head helplessly, and suddenly raised her voice and said: Come on, go and invite Mr. Mo and Na to the study!
