207. Soldiers Coming to the City (II)
"Xuan Ling, you, how can you count them in? You don't see the attitude of Feng Li and Prince Yin towards His Majesty, if you release them at this time, I'm afraid that they will immediately surrender to the enemy. The eldest grandson Wuji stared at Fang Xuanling dumbfounded.
Fang Xuanling was not angry, only looked at Li Shimin cautiously, while Du Ruhui was silent on the side, without squeaking.
Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling, then at the eldest grandson Wuji, and finally set his eyes on Du Ruhui: "Keming, I want to hear your opinion." ”
"What Lord Fang said I think is feasible, Feng Li fought against His Majesty before, it was a different position, each for his own master, not that there is anything wrong with his conduct, now the major event has been decided, Your Majesty has ascended the throne, facing the Turks, the enemy of the entire Tang Dynasty, with Feng Li's person, if Your Majesty dares to use him, he will not do anything treasonous." Du Ruhui said.
The eldest grandson Wuji was still about to speak, but Li Shimin stretched out his hand to stop him, Li Shimin said: "Okay, Fang Mou Du Xuan, since you both think it is feasible, this matter is decided, Xuan Ling, you go to the prison and bring Feng Li to see me." ”
After Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui left, the eldest grandson Wuji still looked at Li Shimin with a disapproving expression: "Your Majesty, you, how did you agree to Master Fang's suggestion?" Although the three thousand soldiers and horses of the East Palace are a large combat force, once they mutiny, the consequences are simply unimaginable. ”
"Auxiliary, in terms of talents, you are no worse than Xuan Ling and Ke Ming, but when it comes to looking at people, accommodating people and employing people, you really need to learn from them, Ke Ming and Xuan Ling are right, Feng Li has no problem with his own character."
"At the beginning, he helped Prince Yin against me, not because he had an enmity with me, but because of their different positions, it was his duty as a minister, now that Prince Yin is dead, I have ascended the throne, facing the enemy of the entire Tang Dynasty, if I am willing to give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, I believe he will not let me down." Li Shimin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and struck a sentence lightly.
Because of the engagement with the eldest grandson queen since childhood, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji can be said to have played together since childhood.
Coupled with his wife, among all the courtiers, the closest and most trusted by him is none other than the eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson Wuji did not disappoint him, Wen Taowu is outstanding, and he has already become his right-hand man over the years, but because of his temperament, the measure of the eldest grandson Wuji is not as good as his sister Guanyin, nor is it as good as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.
The eldest grandson Wuji was beaten with such a sentence, his heart sank, he stopped talking, and subconsciously began to reflect on himself.
Li Shimin glanced at him, ignored him anymore, and summoned Hou Junji, Changsun Shunde and others to continue to issue general orders.
"Your Majesty, Luo Yi, the king of Yanjun in the land of Yanyun, should have received a summons from the court by now, but he didn't react at all, will he ......" When Li Shimin promulgated a series of generals and took a temporary break, the eldest grandson Wuji came over again and said in a low voice.
"Luo Yi, he is good friends with Prince Yin, although he didn't make any radical moves after Prince Yin died, he also accepted the reward he gave him when I ascended the throne, but he didn't seem to be very enthusiastic, I was afraid that there was something else on his mind."
"This time I gave him the order to summon him, it was just a temptation, I didn't expect him to really bring troops to help, auxiliary, you go to Yanyun, no matter what, stabilize Luo Yi first."
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't come, but we must not let him collude with the Turks at this time." Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, he twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, then turned his eyes and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with a solemn face.
In terms of the skill of tongue, Li Shimin does not have many people around him who can compare to the eldest grandson Wuji, coupled with his relationship with himself, if he wants to stabilize Luo Yi and send the eldest grandson Wuji as a pacification envoy, Wuyi is the most suitable candidate.
"The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust." When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he immediately stood up and saluted.
Du Ruhui went to supervise and inspect the soldiers at the city gates, Fang Xuanling went to the prison to pick up people, and Li Shimin went to the harem after arranging the errand of the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Guanyin, at this time, arranging for your brother to go to Youzhou will undoubtedly let him go to the tip of the knife, there is no need to say more about the degree of danger, but the person around me who has the ability to complete this matter is none other than him, you, you won't blame me, right?" When he came to the harem, Li Shimin hesitated for a while and told her about the eldest grandson Wuji.
"What Your Majesty said, my brother bears the love of His Majesty and occupies an important position, and at this time of national crisis, he should assume his due responsibility." Empress Sun Chang was stunned at first, and then said with a serious face.
"Thank you, Guanyin, thank you for your understanding and support, I have a tough battle to fight with the Turkic Khan Jieli, Khan Jie, this person can be called a generation of heroes, it is impossible to let him withdraw from the army just by the suspicious tactics we have laid out."
"The next battle is inevitable, but with our troops, it will not work 100% with him, what the specific result is, I am not sure in my heart, Guanyin, if it ......" Li Shimin looked at his wife's gentle and gentle face, his heart warmed, he sat down beside her, held her hand, and said softly.
"I know, even if Your Majesty does your business, I still say the same thing, whether it is glorious or Nine Shades of Yellow Spring, I will follow behind Your Majesty, I can't help you with the outside affairs, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of the inner court."
"Speaking of people who support Your Majesty, I'm not the only one, our father, this time I also fully support Your Majesty, not long ago I just heard that my father's concubines heard that Chang'an City was surrounded by the Turkic army, and they cried and made trouble one by one."
"I wanted my father to take them away, but my father reprimanded them sharply, and issued a strict order that if anyone in the palace heard anyone say that they would run away, or spread rumors that were unfavorable to the morale of the army, they would be killed." The eldest grandson smiled slightly and said.
"Really? This surprised me a little, I thought that my father and the emperor he, hey, that's it, my father was also a person who led soldiers and fought wars, and at the same time shepherded the safety of the people, in this time of crisis, he had this choice, and it was reasonable. Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed dumbly.
The couple had a conversation, and an attendant came to report that Fang Xuanling was coming, and Li Shimin said goodbye to his wife, and got up and went to the council hall.
As soon as he entered, he saw Fang Xuanling standing next to a burly man in his thirties, dressed in prison uniform, with messy hair and bright eyes.
"General Feng." Li Shimin walked in, his eyes fell on this person, and he opened his mouth to call out.
"Feng Li is a prisoner waiting to die, and he deserves to be a general of His Majesty." Feng Li raised his eyes like electricity, glanced at Li Shishang, and then lowered his gaze again, and said indifferently.
