Mountains and rivers are thousands of miles away, the city is nine-fold gate, and the emperor is strong, and he knows the son of heaven. Chang'an City, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty surrounded by mountains and surrounded by eight rivers, has ushered in a new dawn.

On Sixth Street, the steady and loud drums rumbled and echoed through the empty streets. The sleeping capital is like a lion waking up from a dream and starting the day's activities. In the early days, hawkers and traders flocked to the East and West markets to start their daily morning market buying and selling. The palace servants in the imperial city began to sprinkle water on the wide streets of the imperial city to clean.

The golden armor and golden armor, the imposing Jinwu guards began to complete the handover ceremony on Suzaku Street, which is located on the central axis of Chang'an City, and began to patrol in the early morning.

When the early morning sunlight gradually began to sprinkle on the Chengtian Gate in front of the main building of the palace city, the glazed tiles on the roof of the 16 palaces of the Taiji Palace began to radiate a dazzling golden brilliance.

The three architectural complexes of Taiji Palace, East Palace and Yeting Palace formed the palace city of the Tang Dynasty. Its Middle Palace is the residence and office of the prince, and the Yeting Palace is the place where the eunuchs and palace maids work and rest, accounting for only a small part of the palace complex. The Taiji Palace covers a vast area, including the Taiji Palace, the Liangyi Palace, the Ganlu Hall and the Yanjia Palace, as well as important buildings such as Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, Sheren Courtyard, Hongwen Hall, Ningyin Pavilion and Wangyun Pavilion. The place of the Tang Dynasty is often chosen on the Taiji Palace, and it is held for two days a month, bringing together hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss state affairs. The daily inner court is selected in the quiet environment of the Liangyi Palace, the humerus ministers in the Tang Dynasty often have to discuss the world's major affairs with the Son of Heaven during the inner court, and the carefully planned national affairs are mentioned in China and North Korea for discussion.

When the early morning sunlight shone into the lobby of the Liangyi Palace, the ministers of civil and military affairs gathered here suddenly realized that they had been here all night. Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who was sitting behind the imperial book case, rubbed his eyes that began to dazzle with force, and said: "The relationship between ** Ji and Tie Le has been very clear, Xue Yantuo has clearly expressed his intention to surrender to our court, and asked my court to send soldiers and horses to fight against ** Ji. I've rejected it."

"Holy Wisdom." One stepped forward and said loudly. This person's face is like a crown of jade, his eyes are like a star, his chin is three times beautiful, his clothes are neat, and his demeanor is graceful, it turned out to be Shangshu Zuo Cheng and secretary Wei Zheng, I saw him continue: "I have been recuperating since the White Horse Alliance, encouraging production, and now that the registered population has just rebounded, sending troops at this moment, although it can hit the Turks to a greater extent and greatly damage their vitality, but the soldiers are in danger of fighting, and the self-damage must be heavier, which is not the best policy. The Holy Lord can wait for the Turks and Tiele to fight and lose, and when the population of this dynasty grows and the number of troops increases greatly, and then it is the best policy to plan for the future."

Li Shimin glanced at him, nodded thoughtfully.

Hou Junji, the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and sharp-eyed soldier Hou Junji, showed a look of disagreement on his face, and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we were discussing the current situation of ** all night yesterday. All the adults agree that since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty in Tuli and Yushe, the situation has deteriorated, and it has already reached the end of the day. If we don't take advantage of this critical moment to strike a further blow to it and cause it to perish, and wait until he recovers, it will be too late to regret it."

At this time, Du Ruhui, the right servant of Shangshu and the official of the Ministry of Shangshu, walked out of the ranks and said, "Your Majesty, the ** is cruel and tyrannical and unpopular, and all ethnic groups on the prairie have long been dissatisfied with it. If we can show grace to the tribes of the steppe, reward them with wealth, marry well, promise to be brothers forever, and isolate them. Then the ** Turk will be besieged by the tribes of the steppe, and its destruction will only be in the end. Our dynasty does not have to spend a single soldier to destroy it. There is no need to send troops to fight."

Li Shimin's face showed a hint of an unfathomable and profound smile, and said, "Du Gong's strategy is really safe and ingenious."

Du Ruhui bowed down and thanked him and returned to the train.

Qin Shubao, the general of Zuo Wuwei, walked out of the train at this time and said, "Holy Mingjian, ** is about to perish, needless to say. However, when the dynasty was first established, it was poisoned by Turkic thieves, the poor people were killed and injured countless times, and the soldiers and horses were killed by the Hu people. The soldiers and soldiers thought day and night, and they all hoped to send troops to take revenge, if they were to die like this, how could they get out of the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty."

Cheng Zhijie, the general of the Right Martial Guard, also jumped out and said, "Shubao is very right, I still have a reason to attack **."

"Oh," Li Shimin's face showed a curious smile, and said, "Zhijie also has a point to talk about this time? Let's talk about it soon." These words made the ministers of civil and military affairs present laugh lightly.

Cheng Zhijie glared at them, coughed, and said, "Your Majesty, I have pacified the Quartet, fought for more than ten years, and the battle flag has been invincible, and there are countless famous ministers and warriors during this period, which is the supreme wealth of the Tang Dynasty. If you listen to Lord Wei's words and Xu Tu's future plans, then most of these old courtiers may have died by then, and the imperial court will definitely be in a mess if they send troops to generals, but it is better to send troops now, and the odds of victory are greater."

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin took the lead in laughing, which caused the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to laugh, only to hear Emperor Taizong say: "Zhijie must be uncomfortable with itchy hands these days, right?"

Cheng Zhijie smirked, scratched his head, and returned to the train with Qin Shubao, standing firmly.

At this moment, Li Ji, the famous general of the Tang Dynasty, the governor of the prefecture, walked out of the train, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is not appropriate to attack ** at this time."

Li Shimin's expression became solemn, and he said, "Li Qing is blunt."

Li Ji said in a deep voice: "** has dominated the desert for decades, controls millions of armor, has many tribal leaders, and has strong strength. Now, although Tuli, Yu She set up a Tang Dynasty and took away 100,000 people, but in the area outside the Saiwai, Jili has been operating for many years, and it will not be so twisted and turned. Moreover, Ji Li has close cooperation with the foreign Hu people and is very favored, and his true strength is definitely not what we see now. If the army is rushed and the enemy situation is unknown, it is really difficult to predict the outcome of the war."

Li Shimin nodded and did not speak.

At this time, Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Daizhou, came out and said, "Your Majesty, I think there are now six favorable conditions for sending troops."

"Oh," Li Shimin smiled, "Zhang Qing, please speak."

Zhang Gongjin said calmly: "Ji Li, this person, fierce and brutal, loyal and good, pro-traitor, betrayal of morality and forgetfulness, this is one of them. If the rebellion of Xue Yantuo is not satisfied, it can make his belly and back suffer the enemy, and this is also the second. Turkic tribes such as Turki, Yu She, and Tuan are not tolerated, and they go to this dynasty, and these three are also. The frost and drought in the north of the Saibei and the lack of grain and grass are the destruction of the Turks, and this is the fourth. Ji Li sparse his race, close to different races, Hu sex repeatedly, when the army comes, it will be mutated, and this is the fifth also. When the Chinese entered the north, there were many of them, and they gathered in the vicinity of the news, and the mountains were safeguarded, and the army went out of the fortress, so they naturally responded, and this is the sixth also."

Li Shimin's face did not have any expression, but his eyes gradually emitted a hot light, he could barely suppress the excitement in his heart, and said indifferently: "Zhang Qing, please write this six benefits into a recital, and present it in three hours later."

"Yes!" Zhang Gongjin replied abruptly.

At this time, Emperor Taizong's gaze finally fell on Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, who was frowning: "What is the intention of the Duke to send troops."

Li Jing bowed out of class and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive your Majesty for being blunt, this matter is very dangerous."

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and said, "I will wait for the public's high opinion."

Li Jing said excitedly: "Your Majesty, if you send troops, the army will have more than 100,000 soldiers. Since Gaozu in this dynasty, the implementation of the government military system, this time if it is a conscription, when 100,000 peasant households give up farming, enlist in the army, so the production is wasted, all industries are depressed, and the people are disturbed very seriously. And there are many inappropriateness in the six benefits that Zhang Gong said just now. First, Ji Li was cruel and unkind, cruel and ruthless to the enemy, but he valued the soldiers, and his children had a lot of wealth and wealth, and he was an excellent general, and at this time he gave up the power of the soldiers and horses to his two sons, who were rumored to be brave in battle, and no one on the prairie was a great talent. Second, Tuli, Yu She, and Tang Dynasty, most of the soldiers and soldiers brought by them are old and weak, women and children, and I really can't see any elite at all. It would be too rash to say that the strength of ** has been greatly reduced because of this. Third, the frost and drought in the north of the country are frequent, not only this year, ** Turks are nomadic people, it is common to fight in the ice and snow, and they have their own ways to deal with the shortage of food and grass, and because of the shortage of food and grass, the Turkic warriors are only more brave and crazy in the killing field, and it is unwise to rush to fight with them. The Hu people's style is simple and simple, if it is advantageous, it will come, and if it is not profitable, Ji Li, as a Hu person, naturally understands this truth, and now since he can cooperate with so many different Hu, he has his own major interests, which we lack of powerful information and cannot make rash judgments. Now it has been several years since the Son of Heaven succeeded to the throne, and most of the Han people outside the Guanxi have returned, and the number of remnants outside the border is really negligible."

"Well," Li Shimin's face showed a slight look of hesitation, and he said indifferently, "What the public said is also true."

Li Jing paused, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "** Many tribal leaders have defected, and their position in the desert is precarious, and they are at a life-and-death juncture. When the beast is dying, the dying blow is the most fierce and unpredictable, and when the poisonous snake is about to die, the bite of the backbite is often both ruthless and poisonous. In today's situation, it is natural that when the winter has just passed, we should organize soldiers and horses to storm the counties of our dynasty, plunder the wealth of our children, replenish grain and grass, and tide over this difficulty. However, recently, the Yanmen Pass and the border states in Hexi have been calm, and there are only a few brief skirmishes, which soon subside. It's unbelievable. Chen Dou dared to speculate that there would be a large-scale invasion in the near future. This is not the right time to send troops."

Li Shimin's face showed a thoughtful look, nodded slightly, and did not speak. At this time, the drum sound of the six streets that resounded through Chang'an City suddenly stopped.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that there were only more than two hours left before noon in China and North Korea.

Li Shimin got up from the dragon chair, stretched, and said with a smile: "Unconsciously, I have been trapped by Zhuqing for a day and night. If it weren't for the drumming of these six streets, I might have continued to talk freely with you."

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the three thousand qi has rested, Your Majesty should go back and rest. The health of the Holy Dragon is related to the well-being of all the people in the world, so we should take care of it."

Emperor Taizong Li Shimin slowly left the imperial book case, came to the civil and military ministers on the Liangyi Palace, and looked at them one by one, Huo Ran laughed loudly: "Since the beginning of our dynasty, there are many famous ministers and good generals like carp crossing the river, and the twenty-four meritorious heroes of Lingyan Pavilion are needless to say, and the eighteen scholars in the court are also literary and talented, full of economy. My Central Plains has never been as prosperous and stable as it is today, and no matter how powerful it is, it is difficult to shake my ironclad walls." After speaking, he looked up to the sky and laughed, looking extremely happy.

"May the Tang Dynasty last forever today." The ministers of civil and military affairs present said in unison.

"Good!" Li Shimin's eyes showed a look of intoxication, "Thousands of years, forever today." So the best, so the best, hahahaha!"

Wei Zheng of the Wen class and Li Jing of the Wu class glanced at each other, and a trace of worry appeared in their hearts at the same time.

Wei Zheng thought, "The emperor has always been stubborn and strong, and he has his own opinions on major national affairs, although he has listened to the opinions of the ministers on the surface this time, he should have made a decision in his heart a long time ago. Looking at any of his proposals, he was indifferent, but he was biased towards the six specious assertions put forward by Zhang Gongjin, so that he revised the book and submitted it, it seems that he had already moved the idea of sending troops in his heart. If this victory goes without saying, if the teacher is unfavorable, the reputation of the saint in the first life should be lost, which is really worrying. Unfortunately, this time I did not have a good reason to dissuade the Holy One, so I had to rely on God's blessing." After thinking about it, he glanced at Li Jing.

Li Jing's face also had a trace of worry, he knew: The emperor has been fighting for victory all his life, and he has regarded the once courtiers of the Turks as a great shame in his life, and he is looking forward to the day of revenge day and night. However, although I know that I can't do it, I still have to dissuade the Holy Lord from giving up the idea of sending troops, otherwise the blessings and misfortunes will be unpredictable, and the splendid country that I have managed to fight hard may be lost in a war, and how can this be worthy of Master's teachings.

Seeing Li Jing's expression gradually becoming firmer, Wei Zheng realized it in his heart and quickly shook his head lightly.

Seeing Wei Zheng's expression, Li Jing raised his eyebrows, and remembered what Wei Zheng once said: Make yourself famous, make the monarch a Ming monarch, and have children and grandchildren one after another, and the blessings are endless, and he is a good minister. He has caused himself to be slain, and the monarch has become a tyrant, and his family and country have been mourned, and he has no name, and he is a loyal servant. It is better to be a good minister than a loyal minister for a minister.

He nodded and said secretly: "Since you can't stop the emperor's determination to send troops, then the only way to lead the army out and strive for victory is better than to dismiss the official early and behead it, and nothing will be accomplished."

At this time, Tang Taizong Li Shimin suddenly said: "I heard that the begonia flowers in the back garden bloom overnight, and they are very delicate, and the Duke of Wei Guo will be interested in appreciating them with me later."

Li Jing hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister respectfully obeys the holy order."

"Good!" Li Shimin looked up to the sky and smiled, waved his sleeves away.
