Chapter 123: Solidarity
The atmosphere in the council chamber was eerie.
The civil and military officials, including Su Wei and Zhao Cai, were all shocked, but Li Yuan's father and son were calmly sipping tea.
Zhao Cai was anxious and couldn't calm down to think of countermeasures, so he got up and said to Li Yuan: "Liu Wuzhou broke through Loufu County, attacked the Fenyang Palace, and gave all the captured palace maids to the Turkic Shibi Khan.
"With the support of the Turkic Khan, in the next step, Liu Wuzhou's troops will definitely be directed at Taiyuan.
"Tang Guogong, we must immediately recruit soldiers and dispatch troops to recruit Liu Wuzhou."
Su Wei's expression was very solemn, he didn't expect Liu Wuzhou's offensive to be so fast, so fast that he didn't have time to prepare.
In order to live up to His Majesty's expectations, he can only rely on Li Yuan now.
So, Su Wei said: "Tang Guogong, now that the situation is urgent, we should take measures immediately so as not to lose the opportunity." ”
All the officials echoed: "Yes, Tang Gong, hurry up and recruit soldiers." ”
Li Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, he knew that the reasons for recruiting and dispatching troops were already sufficient, and Su Wei, Zhao Cai and others were more urgent than him, as long as he gave an order, Taiyuan's troops would grow.
But he was still calm and relaxed, and said unhurriedly: "Well, in this situation, there are three things that must be done, ordering the soldiers to be under martial law, strengthening the city's defenses, and allocating food to help the displaced people.
"Other than that, it's up to you."
Zhao Cai heard that he had the intention of prevarication, and immediately pleaded: "The lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Taiyuan County are hanging on Tang Guogong alone. If Tang Guogong resigns, who else can take on this great responsibility? ”
Li Yuan smiled secretly, but there was a look of embarrassment on his face: "The imperial court has an order, and the generals go out on the expedition, and every move must be reported to the imperial court and accept the moderation of the imperial court." At present, Liu Wuzhou's army is within a few hundred miles, but the eastern capital is thousands of miles away, coming and going, and I don't know when I will receive His Majesty's order.
"I'm afraid that before the report was sent to the eastern capital, Liu Wuzhou had already attacked Taiyuan.
"Leading an army that must obey the remote command in everything to resist the fierce, cunning and treacherous thieves is tantamount to a scholar fighting a fire.
"I have gathered you here today, not to be passive and timid, but to discuss with you the most appropriate way.
"We are all here to serve the court, and it is best not to be suspicious of each other."
When Li Yuan said the last sentence, his eyes swept around Su Wei and Zhao Cai.
Su Wei knew what he meant, and hurriedly said: "Tang Guo's official document Tao Wuluo is known from far and near, and as a relative of the emperor and a virtuous minister of the imperial court, he should share weal and woe with the country.
"If everything has to be reported, how to deal with sudden incidents? As long as it is for the crusade against the traitor, it can also be used in emergencies. ”
Waiting for this sentence, Li Yuan's heart flashed with ecstasy, but he pretended to be very reluctant on his face: "But ......"
"No, but."
Zhao Cai impatiently clapped the decision: "Tang Guogong don't shirk, it's so decided." ”
If Zhao Cai had been acting like this, Li Yuan would have left with his ass across, but today was different, his face was entangled and hesitated for a while, and then reluctantly agreed: "Okay, I will immediately order conscription." ”
After the matter was discussed, Su Wei said to Li Yuan: "Since I am here today, I will go to see Su Yan." ”
Li Shimin's eyes moved, and Ding Zhi at the door made a look.
Ding Zhi received the hint and immediately disappeared at the door.
Li Shimin got up and said with a smile: "Fang Guogong, I'll send you over." ”
-----
After entering the guest house, Li Shimin said to Su Wei: "Fang Guogong has not seen Su Langjun for many days, there must be a lot of things to say to him, so I won't bother, if there is anything you can tell your subordinates to do." ”
Su Wei nodded at him and walked forward.
Watching all the way, seeing Su Wei living alone in a courtyard, and the landscape ornaments were not bad, Su Wei showed a satisfied look. I thought that Tang Guogong was quite knowledgeable and did not neglect his grandson.
"Su Langjun, Fang Guogong has come to see you." The servant bowed at the door.
When Su Yan heard this, he hurriedly pulled the collar up, but unfortunately he was wearing a round-necked robe today, and no matter how much he pulled it up, he couldn't cover the wound.
I heard familiar footsteps entering the door again, so I had to bite the bullet to greet him, "Weng Weng, why are you here?" ”
Su Wei saw the gauze around his neck at a glance and was shocked: "Are you injured?" What's going on? Did Li Yuan do it to you? ”
"No, it's not." Su Yan waved his hand again and again, and in a hurry, he casually made up a reason: "It was I who accidentally knocked down a vase, and then accidentally fell and was scratched."
"However, it's not serious, the doctor said, the wound will heal in three days."
Su Wei stretched out his hand to touch Su Yan's neck, "Is it serious?" ”
Su Yan hurriedly stepped back and covered the wound with his hand: "It's not serious." ”
"It's really not serious?" Su Wei stared at his hand suspiciously.
Su Yan immediately put down his hand and shook his head: "It's really not serious, you see, it's okay for me to shake my head like this." ”
Seeing his natural expression, Su Wei believed his words.
But the next moment, Su Wei grabbed Su Yan and walked out: "No, I'll take you back to the house and ask the best doctor to treat your injuries, you can't leave a scar in this position." ”
Su Yan grabbed Su Wei with his backhand and made him stop: "Weng Weng, the doctor Tang Guogong invited me is Dr. Li, who has the best medical skills in Jinyang City." ”
Hearing this, Su Wei gave up, he looked at the door, and saw his henchmen guarding the door, so he pulled Su Yan to the inner room and asked softly, "You have lived in the Tang Guogong Mansion for a while, what have you found out?" ”
Su Yan looked outside.
"Don't worry, there are people guarding outside, and no one hears our conversation." Su Wei sat down on the bed and beckoned to Su Yan.
Su Yan sat down beside him, leaned into his ear and whispered, "I overheard Li Yuan hiding a treasure on the mountain, which is said to be very powerful. ”
Su Wei's face changed, and he turned his head and asked him, "Which mountain is it?" ”
Su Yan looked ashamed: "They didn't mention this, so I don't know." ”
It was rare to see his grandson feel guilty, Su Wei couldn't bear to dampen his enthusiasm, and patted the back of his hand with a smile: "You did a good job, I'll leave the rest to me." ”
Hearing this, Su Yan's face was overjoyed: "Then can I go home?" ”
"Nope." Su Wei solemnly refused.
Su Kang's joy froze.
Seeing him like this, Su Wei couldn't bear it, softened his expression, and softened his voice: "I sent someone to see you once every three days, and I heard the servant say that Wang Yu didn't let you go to the barracks, but asked you to go to class with her and do your homework."
"I also gave you other homework, I know what homework she has assigned you, and I know that you don't like to do it.
"But I think it's good, you see that your handwriting is much better now than before, and you can write poems and articles.
"The poem you wrote last time was very meaningful, and I have already sent it back to your father, and I believe your father will be very happy to read it."
Hearing that his father would be happy, Su Ji immediately became happy: "Will my father really be happy?" He always thought that only my brother could be promising, and he never praised me. ”
Su Wei smiled and nodded: "Yes, I think you have become stable, and your father will definitely feel it."
"You are his son, and he will rejoice when he sees that you are sensible."
Su Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and never mentioned the matter of returning home.
Su Wei carefully advised him and left.
On the way back, Su Wei said to Zhao Cai: "Li Yuan hid the treasure in the mountain, it must be a big thing, maybe it is the siege equipment that we didn't find last time."
"If our people were not mistaken last time, the thing was still in the barracks the night before and disappeared the next day, it must have been transferred by Li Yuan.
"If you can transfer in such a short time, the hiding place must not be far from the barracks, you send more people to search the mountains and forests within a radius of fifty miles from the barracks.
"As long as we find this thing, after Li Yuan eradicates Liu Wuzhou, this is the evidence that we will bring him down."
