The letter is not long, just a few thin pages, but Li Zhen read it very slowly, and it took a full column of incense to read all the letters, but Li Zhen did not comment immediately, but frowned and fell into contemplation, and after a long time, he raised his head calmly and said calmly: "What does Mr. think?" ”

"Brother Na's analysis makes some sense, and there must be something strange about this matter." Mo Li had already read these letters, and he already had a judgment in his heart, and when he heard Li Zhen's question, he answered as soon as he opened his mouth, without the slightest hesitation.

"Hmm." Li Zhen replied noncommittally, put the few secret letters together at the lamp on a few pieces and lit them, casually threw them into the copper basin used for heating on the side, and watched the secret letters burn into ashes, then he reached out and rubbed the somewhat swollen sun**, and said lightly: "It seems that some people can't wait, how should this matter be resolved?" ”

There are a lot of people who can't wait, from the prince to the king of Wu and Wei, and even the first generation of male lord Li Shimin is afraid that there are some sons who don't want to wait, but this is by no means including Li Zhen, which Mo Li is very clear about, at this time listening to Li Zhen asked, Mo Li smiled indifferently, shook the feather fan, and said: "Your Majesty is personally conscripted, the prince is bound to have to supervise the country, in this way, it is the best stage for the prince to expand his power and show his ability, from this point of view, the prince is looking forward to His Majesty to personally conquer Goguryeo, however, there is something to gain, there is something to lose, If His Majesty leaves Beijing, the prince will inevitably lose His Majesty's wings, and how can the kings of Wu and Wei let go of such a God-given opportunity to attack the prince, and it makes sense to push the boat down the river, so that His Royal Highness has become the first target of the three parties to take, no matter what, there is His Royal Highness watching from the side, and the three parties are all throwing rat taboos, therefore, it is not surprising that the three parties secretly joined forces to squeeze out His Royal Highness's men and horses in the court a few days ago. What does Your Highness think? ”

How is it? Damn, it's all here, what else can I do? Li Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, his heart was full of helplessness - in this short period of more than half a month, under the oppression of various forces, Li Zhen's six courtiers have been demoted out of Beijing due to various names, and all of them are middle-level civil officials, which makes Li Zhen's family of civil officials who were originally lacking now only two or three poor kittens and dogs, and the mouthpiece in the court has been pinched and dumb by half of them. The power of Li Zhen's family in the Beijing division is bound to fall to the point of insignificance, and once there is a slight mistake in the Beijing division, the fun will be great.

Take a step back and open the sky? That's true, but the problem is that it's easy to retreat, and then it's difficult to take the lead, God knows how far the tripartite people will go, if they don't retreat, the power of one party is indeed no matter what, and the tripartite alliance can't be fought anyway, which can be seen from the recent days Li Zhen and his family have been squeezed out of the Beijing Division, and the generals who are close to Li Zhen are out of Beijing, I'm afraid that the situation will be more serious, it is true that the Beijing Division is not the focus of Li Zhen's management, and it is not impossible to let the three parties toss around blindly in the court. But the trouble is that Ming Chun is the best fighter to go to the north of the Tianshan Mountains, once missed, if you want to send troops to the Western Turks in the future, the price you have to pay will be at least several times, if the Beijing division is unstable, Li Zhen can not rest assured that the Western Turks, besides, retreat has never been Li Zhen's style, no matter what losses are blessings and other words, Li Zhen doesn't want to suffer any losses in vain, in Li Zhen's opinion, it is not impossible to suffer a little loss, but you can gain something, blindly retreating, can only lead to the enemy inch in, And this is a result that Li Zhen absolutely can't bear.

"It's okay to retreat, but you have to bite back, don't let people look down on it, well, just take the fourth head of the knife." After Li Zhen repeatedly considered the pros and cons of the gains and losses, she said with a gloomy face.

According to the current situation of the dynasty, although Li Tai, the king of Wei, has already been driven out of the Jingshi, but in terms of the power in the court, he still occupies an absolute advantage, and he has to take a certain risk to open the knife, however, it is precisely because the Wei Wang's family is powerful, and it is inevitable that the good and the bad are uneven. Although the two sides of King Wu will not necessarily fall into the ground, it is inevitable to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, once the King of Wei is beaten painfully, he naturally has to take care of the other two sides of the eye, in this way, the two sides will make peace is inevitable, as long as the King of Wei is honest, the momentum of the three parties joining forces will be broken, isn't it?

Mo Li had long known that Li Zhen had always refused to suffer, and he didn't say much about Li Zhen's decision, just nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay to fight back, just stop in moderation." ”

"This is natural, let Mr. Na grasp the proportions." Li Zhen didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, so she pondered for a while, and suddenly changed the topic and said, "Mr. Mo, is it appropriate for this king to go on the expedition on behalf of his father?" ”

As a son of man, it is an ordinary thing for the above cousin to go on the expedition on behalf of his father, whether he is really willing to do this or not, this gesture must be put on a posture, which is not very much, but Mo Li knows that Li Zhen is not posturing when he says this, but really has this kind of consideration, the already serious face immediately tightened a little, and the feather fan in his hand couldn't help shaking a little faster, frowning and thinking about it: "Why does Your Highness have such an idea?" ”

Li Zhen pondered his tone and said: "Although my father is a generation of heroes, he is already old, if the saddle horse is tired, I am afraid that there will be a mistake, this king, as a son of man, should share the worries and solve problems for his father, why not?" Li Zhen's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, but Mo Li didn't believe it at all, didn't speak, stopped shaking the fan, and just rolled his eyes at Li Zhen.

Li Zhen has been thinking about whether he should go on the expedition on behalf of his father for many days, but he has never been able to make up his mind, at this time, seeing Mo Li rolling his eyes at himself, he also felt that those high-sounding words were really not very moving, and immediately laughed awkwardly and said: "Hehe, I know that I can't hide it from Mr., well, this king thinks about it this way - and now the situation, I am afraid that it is inevitable to go to Gaojuli, but there are many mountains and dense forests, the road is difficult to travel, and it is not a place where the army can be determined in a battle, and the defeat of the former Sui is a lesson from the past. Once the logistics of the army are exhausted, it is bound to sit in a dangerous place, and there is a risk of defeat. If the king leads his troops to the battle, if he gets the help of gunpowder, he does not need too many troops, and it is easy to attack the city and plunder the land, this is the second; Now because of the snow disaster, the grain and grass reserves in the army are insufficient, if the father and the emperor go to the expedition, then I Anxi is difficult to transfer grain, the army can not move, I am afraid that there is a risk of delaying the fighter, this is the third, this four, Lin Chenghe old city is heavy, can be the king as the commander, with him, the king can rest assured to conquer Goguryeo. With these four things, if this king goes on the expedition on behalf of his father, he can protect his father's reputation for invincibility, and second, he can win the victories of Goguryeo and the Western Turks. ”

Mo Li is the most core existence in Li Zhen's family, and naturally knows that gunpowder weapons are Li Zhen's last and biggest trump card, at this time, listening to Li Zhen's conquest of Goguryeo, he did not hesitate to expose it in advance, but he also admired Li Zhen's public spirit, however, as a strategist, he can only look at the problem from the perspective of whether it is beneficial to Li Zhen, but it is not easy to judge the pros and cons, therefore, Mo Li did not rush to speak, but frowned and fell into contemplation, and for a while the study was completely quiet, All that remained was the slight whirring sound of Mo Li shaking the fan.

"Your Majesty's personal campaign this time is a game!" After Mo Li pondered for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and said in a cold voice, although the voice was not loud, but it was like thunder in Li Zhen's ears.

Mo Li has been following Li Zhen for a long time, and his ability Li Zhen has a lot in his heart, knowing that Mo Li is by no means a person who asserts lightly, since he dares to say so, then this matter is true, but Li Zhen meditated for a while, and he couldn't see through what kind of situation this situation was, so he had to ask: "What does Mr. mean ......?"

Since Mo Li had solved the mystery, he had relaxed at this time, shook the feather fan briskly, and said with a smile: "This game is from the hands of Your Majesty, and it is the princes who want to pretend!" This has to start from His Majesty's insistence on personal conquest, well, according to His Royal Highness, if His Majesty leads the army to the expedition, who can benefit from it? ”

Who will benefit? Er, except for Lao Tzu who wants to suffer, it seems that everyone can benefit. Li Zhen frowned, chewed Mo Li's words carefully, and suddenly moved in her heart, nodded and said: "The biggest fear of profit should be Lao Jiu's fight, well, but not necessarily, the third and fourth children will not sit back and watch Lao Jiu's full wings, and a good fight is inevitable." ”

"That's right, as soon as Your Majesty leaves Beijing, the prince can supervise the country, and under the power, he is bound to take action, however, as far as His Royal Highness the prince is concerned, if there is no eldest grandson Situ to take care of, his true nature will be revealed, what can he do, it is expected that His Majesty will not let the eldest grandson Situ stay in Beijing!" Mo Li nodded with a smile.

"Hiss" Li Zhen is a sober person, when he heard it, he immediately gasped, and his heart sank - the tiger is not at home, the monkey is bound to be the overlord, and the Quartet forces will inevitably make trouble in Beijing, the old man doesn't have to do anything, just after the triumph of the army, a light blow can wipe out the power of the princes, and at that time, the situation has been cleared, and it is time for the old man to bring out the "true destiny", but the question is who the old man is interested in is still a mystery.

Damn, the old man's hand is so vicious, well, Lao Jiu's piece of material can't come into the eyes of the old man, if the old man really takes the eldest grandson Wuji with the army, the remaining Xiao Yu will not be useful at all, and he can't suppress the scene, Lao Jiu will get carried away and reveal his original form, it is a sure thing, it must be a waste material, and this goods don't have to be bothered at all; The third and fourth have done some things to win the hearts of the people these days, especially the fourth, this is not only a huge force of the government and the opposition, but also has the identity of a son-in-law, it is not impossible to set him up as the East Palace, as for the third, he is also a civil and military generation, although there is no military exploits in hand, but when it comes to governing the place, it is also a good hand, this year has been taking care of Tanzhou thriving, it is really commendable, and its gentle appearance can be very confusing, and it is good at pleasing the old man, he also has a share, as for us, Hehe, there is a lot of military achievements, but it seems that the old man seems to be the most uneasy about us, and he mixes sand with sand in Anxi all day long, which looks like he wants to help Lao Tzu to the top, damn it, the old man played such a hand in a good manner, it is really terrible!

Headache, headache! The more Li Zhen thought about it, the more he had a headache, and by this time, he had already understood the true intentions of the old man's personal recruitment, and he would no longer consider the issue of recruiting on behalf of his father, but how to face the current situation that was about to take shape was a headache for Li Zhen. ”

Mo Li did not hesitate at all, and said categorically: "Immovable as a mountain!" ”

Immovable as a mountain? This is easy to say, but in fact it is not so simple, not to mention that the DPRK and China may set off a bloody storm, I am afraid that it is impossible not to fight back, besides, it is imperative to attack the north of the Tianshan Mountains, at this time it is impossible to not move, the trouble is - once the war to attack the north of the Tianshan Mountains starts, it is difficult to say whether it can win in a short period of time, if only the Western Turks themselves are good, the problem is that Xue Yantuo may not let go of such a favorable opportunity to expand northward, around the belonging of the north of the Tianshan Mountains, The two sides are only afraid that there will be a bloody contest, if there are unexpected changes in the capital during this period, and the own side that is involved in the war, what can be used to deter Xiaoxiao? Of course, if the troops do not move, it is not impossible to sit back and watch the life and death within the Western Turks, but it is not impossible to keep their own heavy troops in hand, even if the "true son of heaven" pushed out by the old man is someone else, but he does not necessarily dare to risk the civil war to poison the Anxi family, at least he does not dare to go too far, and when Li Shimin returns to heaven, Li Zhen will have another "battle of Jingjing" or something, it is not too difficult, and how to choose has become a difficult problem in front of Li Zhen.

Move? Still not moving? This annoying question made Li Zhen unable to sit still any longer, got up, paced around irritably in the study, his thoughts were chaotic into a mess, and after pacing for a while, he stood still, turned his head suddenly, looked at Mo Li with blazing eyes, and said almost word by word: "The king's will has been decided, and he will send troops north of Tianshan Mountain in Ming Spring!" ”

Mo Li obviously knew Li Zhen very well, and he was not very surprised that Li Zhen finally made the most unfavorable choice for himself, and said with a sigh: "Well, in this case, I will inform Brother Na here, as for the shortage of military food, His Royal Highness can plan it in two ways, one is to show his determination to go to the Western Turks, please ask Your Majesty to try to transfer some military food from Longyou to save the emergency, and the other is to transfer some cattle and sheep from Shaowu Jiu surnamed country, this matter can be done." At this point, he paused and glanced at Li Zhen meaningfully, and then continued: "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, Your Highness can focus on state affairs, and Your Majesty will naturally look at it." ”

"Perhaps." Li Zhen has been on the road for more than half a month, even if he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, his good body and bones are a little tired, and after making a major choice, the mental consumption is not small, at this time he has no interest in continuing to talk in detail, and waved his hand with a smile and said: "It's not too early, this king is a little tired, let's discuss it here today, and Mr. will rest early." As soon as the words fell, he walked out of the study, accompanied by a few little eunuchs and walked straight to the backyard, Mo Li looked at the back of Li Zhen's departure, sighed, and didn't say anything more, walked to the bookcase, and buried himself in the book.

East? Or to the west? This is another difficult multiple-choice question - since the capital of the palace moved to Gaochang, Li Zhen is still the first time to go back to his palace, accompanied by a group of small eunuchs to explain in detail, only then did he figure out the residence of the two ladies, the east courtyard is the residence of the princess Pei Yan and the eldest son Li Chun, the west courtyard is the residence of Princess Mingyue, the two courtyards are not next to each other, but separated from a small garden left and right, after Li Zhen returned to the house, he did not meet his family, but went straight to the study, but, Naturally, the news had already spread to the backyard, no, it was already three o'clock at this time, and it was already past the time when the lights went out, but the two courtyards were still brightly lit, obviously waiting for Li Zhen's arrival.

"Go to the princess." Li Zhen hesitated at the fork in the road for a while, finally made up her mind, and gave a faint order, the little eunuch with a lantern didn't dare to say much, and led the way on the side, and the group stepped on the road to the princess's courtyard, but no one noticed that a maid in the corner of the garden hurriedly ran to the small courtyard where Princess Mingyue was.

Princess Mingyue, who was leaning on the edge of the bed and thinking quietly, suddenly heard the sound of the door curtain lifting, and immediately a spirit jumped up, and looked over busily, and when she saw that it was her personal maid Qiuhong, she opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything to ask, but a look of disappointment flashed on her face like white jade.

"Yu Niangniang, Your Highness has gone to the east." Qiu Hong saw Princess Mingyue standing there stunned, and immediately felt a little weak in her heart, and lowered her head and said with a sigh.

"Got it, let's go down." Although Princess Mingyue had long known that this would be the result, she couldn't help but feel a heartache, and gently waved her hand, signaling Qiu Hong to retreat.

Qiu Hong is Princess Mingyue's personal ring, she knows what her master is thinking, seeing that Princess Mingyue is sad, she is immediately a little angry, and she opens her mouth and says: "Niangniang......"

"Go down!" Princess Mingyue was so confused at this time that she didn't want to listen to Qiu Hong's words at all, so she raised her voice a little, and her face was wrenched, so frightened that Qiu Hong shuddered, and hurriedly answered "yes", and then exited the bedroom.

"Ugh." Although she knew that it was right for Li Zhen to go to the princess first when she returned to the house, Princess Mingyue couldn't help but feel sad, stood silently for a while, slowly lay down on the bed, sighed, and tears were already flowing wantonly on her jade-like cheeks......
