Chapter 239: Aren't You Curious?
Silence, deathly silence. Li Shimin summoned Zhang Zhenglai and didn't seem to have any intention of speaking. It's been almost half an hour since I entered the main hall.
Zhang Zheng sat in front of Li Shimin, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while. Of course, only Zhang Zheng was embarrassed, and Li Shimin held a piece of paper that he didn't know what was written and watched it with relish.
But Zhang Zheng made up his mind that if Li Shimin didn't speak, then he wouldn't speak. However, seeing Li Shimin staring at the content on the paper with an interesting look, Zhang Zheng couldn't help but be a little curious.
What is written on the paper? And this damn Li Er, what are you planning to do when you call yourself?
Time passed minute by minute, and Zhang Zheng's patience was still a little worse after all. Seeing that Li Er had not spoken, Zhang Zhengyao, who had no patience, pouted and shouted softly: "Your Majesty!" Li Shimin's hand moved, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.
I thought you kid could really make the old monk settle. Li Shimin moved his eyes to Zhang Zheng and asked lightly, "What's the matter?" "Zhang Zheng was stunned, why did you ask me what?
Shouldn't I ask you what you called me for? Zhang Zheng's face fell instantly, and he said bluntly: "If Your Majesty has nothing to do, Weichen will retire first!" Hearing this, Li Shimin put down the paper in his hand.
smiled faintly at Zhang Zheng: "Don't be in a hurry to leave." ”
"Then why did Your Majesty summon Weichen to come here so late?" The second monk Zhang Zhengzhang was puzzled.
Li Er called himself over, and held a piece of paper alone to read with relish, not saying anything, and not caring about himself.
Now that I want to leave, I say that I am not in a hurry. Li Shimin did not answer when he heard this, but pushed the paper on the table he had been looking at for a long time in front of Zhang Zheng.
looked at Zhang Zheng meaningfully and smiled: "Look! Zhang Zheng frowned slightly, but he also felt a little itchy in his heart.
What is the content on it, can make Li Shimin look at it over and over again. Now that Li Shimin has asked himself to watch, Zhang Zheng is not polite.
Reach for a piece of paper and look up at the contents.
"Minister Feng Ang respectfully told His Majesty that the rebellion of the Lingnan bureaucrats swept through more than a dozen states in an instant, and it has become a prairie fire. The soldiers under the command of Ranchen are old and have not received soldiers for many years. At the same time, the blades in the warehouse are aging, and the depreciation and loss are immeasurable. The minister is a plan for the stability of Lingnan's thousands of miles, and he has the courage to write to ask His Majesty to allocate a number of grain and grass, and the new armor is ten thousand ......"
"It turned out to be Feng An!" After reading the contents of the paper, Zhang Zheng put the paper down. The hazy speculation in his heart that maybe Li Shimin called himself so late had something to do with Feng An.
But after thinking about it, he had no relationship with Feng An. The Feng family lives in Lingnan and has no friendship with the Zhang family.
"Done?" Li Shimin's voice sounded faintly. Zhang Zheng hurriedly retracted his thoughts and replied respectfully to Li Shimin: "Back to Your Majesty, I'm done." Li Shimin nodded, and asked expressionlessly: "After reading it, what do you think?" ”
"Thoughts?" Zhang Zheng was stunned again, what could he think. Feng Ang said that the Lingnan people rebelled.
For the sake of the stability of Lingnan, he wanted to send troops to quell the rebellion. Since it is a counterinsurgency, it is very reasonable to ask the court for weapons, grain and grass, etc.!
But Li Shimin's words can't be targetless. In other words, does Li Er's words have another meaning?
Zhang Zheng's brain was running rapidly, and he quickly went through Feng An's life and the records of later history in his mind.
Feng An, the word Mingda, is a good man in Gaozhou. Minister of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the grandson of Gao Liang Taishou Feng Bao and Mrs. Xian of the State of Chen, and the son of Shilong Taishou Feng Fu.
At the beginning, Song Kang County was awarded the order of Song Kang County. Then put down Wang Zhongxuan's uprising and appointed Gaozhou Assassin. The rebellions of the fangs in five states such as Chaozhou and Chengzhou were put down one after another.
Awarded the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, Hanyang Taishou. During the pre-Sui period, he followed Emperor Yang of Sui to conquer Liaodong and moved to the left of General Wuwei.
After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Feng Ang returned to Lingnan, gathered tens of thousands of people, and appointed himself as the leader, attached to Lin Shihong, a warlord who had seized Lingnan.
He successively defeated the thieves in Guangzhou and Xinzhou, Gao Facheng, Xian Baoche and others, occupied the lands of Guangzhou, Cangwu and Zhuya, and led the governor of Lingnan.
In the fifth year of Wude, he was attached to the Tang Dynasty and awarded Zhu Guo, the head of the high school, and Geng Guogong. In an instant, Feng An's information was sorted out in Zhang Zheng's mind.
Then a bold idea arose in Zhang Zheng's heart. Raise your own respect!
"Shhh Zhang Zheng gasped, because this guess was too bold. was so bold that Zhang Zheng didn't dare to say it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin saw that Zhang Zheng's face changed inexplicably, and it seemed that he understood what he meant. I couldn't help but praise in my heart: "This son is really smart." But his face was still plain.
Zhang Zhengqiang suppressed the shock in his heart, considered the wording, and said to Li Shimin: "What does Your Majesty mean, don't you allocate these grains, grasses and blades?" Zhang Zheng didn't dare to mention the stubble of raising Kou Zizun, but just followed Li Shimin's mind and asked his doubts.
This kind of thing is too sensitive, and Zhang Zheng doesn't want to get involved in it at all. Hearing this, Li Shimin smiled.
did not answer Zhang Zheng's words. Instead, he said to himself: "In the year I ascended the throne, Feng Ang entered Beijing to congratulate him. He took away 20,000 pieces of new armor, 8,000 good horses, and a number of weapons, grain and grass. In the third year of Zhenguan, at an important juncture when the pharmacist destroyed the Turks, Feng Ang went to the table and said that the Gaozhou bureaucrats were in rebellion. I took the belt of my trousers and gave him food, grass, ten thousand stones, and a number of blades. Now, after two years, the Lingnan wingmen have rebelled again. I'm curious. How many wingmen are there in Lingnan, and why do they rebel every year? Can't you kill the wingmen, be cautious, aren't you curious? As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Zhang Zheng was suddenly shocked in his heart.
Pit, big pit! What does Li Er mean, does this mean that he wants to send himself to Lingnan to face Lingnan King Feng An.
Don't bring such a pit son-in-law! Cold sweat instantly covered Zhang Zheng's whole body. Zhang Zheng wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and replied incoherently: "This, Your Majesty, that, the minister is not curious, really, the minister is not curious at all!" ”
"Huh!" Li Shimin smiled without smiling, and said to Zhang Zheng: "What is this, that, be cautious, I know that you are curious in your heart, why bother with your mouth." Zhang Zheng hurriedly shook his head uncontrollably: "No, Your Majesty, the minister is really not curious." Just raised his head, and met Li Shimin's cold and colorless eyes.
The moment he met those eyes, Zhang Zheng's hair suddenly stood up, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
"Okay, Your Majesty atoned for his sins, the minister lied, in fact, the minister was very curious!" Zhang Zheng changed his tone without hesitation.
It's not important at all. When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes suddenly changed, like a spring breeze, and he was a mess.
