The Imperial City of the Ming Dynasty.

"The Heavenly Master and his entourage have traveled to Dangshan Mountain in the Song Kingdom, not far from Tongzi Pass." Lang Xiwei commanded Zhang Shao, who was kneeling in front of Emperor Zhu Zhen of the Ming Dynasty at the moment, to report the traces of the Heavenly Master and his party, in fact, it was mainly the traces of the fourth prince Zhu Zhen.

When Zhu Zhen heard this, he sighed, and said to himself lightly: "My younger brother King Zhou, hehe, I really like to toss, the Heavenly Master took him with great fanfare all the way, do you think you noticed something?" Or am I too careful? ”

Zhang Shao is a man with a slender physique, a white face and a long beard, and his appearance is very elegant, which makes people look like a scholar, but he can supervise the world as the Ming Dynasty, how can the terrifying commander of Lang Xiwei be a literati who seems to be a scholar.

This is a ruthless and loyal eagle dog, who has already broken through the congenital for many years, and his personality is also very cunning, and he is an extremely terrifying and powerful character.

"Your Majesty, the minister received the news that Bayan has taken root in Datong Pass and is encroaching towards the west, will it raise tigers for trouble, and will it become a problem for my Ming henchmen in the future, and please ask the emperor to deal with it." Zhang Shao answered the question, he understood the emperor's mind best, and he didn't dare to intervene with His Royal Highness King Zhou.

Zhu Zhen said disdainfully: "Bayan is just a jackal, but a hungry wild dog, can take advantage of a moment, the tiger roars, the wild dog will naturally disperse, it is difficult to become a climate, continue to monitor, after getting the gunpowder secret technique and musket forging technology, this wild dog, there is no need to keep it." ”

"It's a pity that the secret technique of gunpowder was taken away by Tang Emperor Li Sheng, it's a pity." Zhu Zhen muttered to herself.

He instructed Zhang Shao: "You pass the news to my younger brother and tell him that this time, if you miss again, there will be no King Zhou in the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Zhen's words were full of coldness, and Zhang Shao was stunned by these cold words, so he received the will and bowed back.

Zhu Zhen carried his hands and walked out of the main hall, the sun shone on his body, the dragon Zhang's crown was shining with golden light, he raised his palm, shook it hard in the distance, it was the direction of Tang Guo, and said to himself: "Li Sheng, one day, I will come to Chang'an in person, break the myth that you Tang Guo is invincible in the world, and let you surrender at my feet." ”

The war between Li Sheng and the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Emperor lost, Zhu Zhen always remembered that the Emperor stood here, looking at the direction of the Tang Kingdom many times, his eyes were full of the pain of defeat, it was all brought by the Tang Kingdom, and he was determined to take revenge and get back the glory for the Emperor.

For this reason, he will not hesitate to pay any price, even if it is a temporary compromise, even if it is a misunderstanding of his own relatives.

Tang State, Chang'an.

"Your Majesty, Wang Xuanlian has been stationed at Zhennan Pass, and has been in the military department, and will not send troops for the time being." The secretary of the military department took the fold and handed it to the eunuch Zhaoda.

The eunuch Zhaoda presented the recital, Li Sheng opened it and carefully read Wang Xuanlian's recital, and laughed: "This war is a little interesting, Bayan is even more interesting, the wasteland people occupy Datong, and since then they have shared the defense with my Central Plains, hahaha..." ”

The ministers in the palace were baffled by Li Sheng's sudden laughter, what does Your Majesty mean by this?

"Why is Your Majesty laughing?" Bingbu Shangshu didn't know what was funny about this, and asked.

Li Sheng smiled and said: "That Zhu Zhen Xiaoer, not long after he ascended the throne, he changed the name of Zengguo to Da, but even his own wall was occupied by the wasteland, how could I not laugh, he thought he was clever in performing this scene, and he deliberately showed it to the world, no, it was for me to see, I want to say, he succeeded, I was indeed amused by him." ”

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't understand it anymore, Your Majesty said that Da Ming was acting with Bayan? Is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty crazy? Your Majesty isn't it a joke again.

Li Sheng saw that everyone was puzzled, and he didn't explain, the spies under the black robe were all over the world, as long as he Li Sheng wanted to know, there was nothing he didn't know, and how could Bayan and Zhu Zhen's small actions escape his eyes.

"Wang Xuanxi is stationed in Zhennanguan, I am approved, and the military department will receive his notes in the future, and they will all be approved." With a wave of his hand, Li Sheng agreed to Wang Xuanlian's decision to garrison Zhennanguan without authorization.

However, those who know Wang Xuanlian know that he will never let go of the arrow without a land, and he also has his own purpose, is it...

Someone guessed it, and looked at the excited look of the general's eager to try, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

Your Majesty has not moved for many years, which country is this going to target? Zhennan Pass, facing the wasteland, and the Great Song Dynasty, does His Majesty plan to send troops to them at the same time?

But even if the Tang State has this strength, if it deals with the other two empires at the same time, as well as the newly rising wolf god Khan of the wasteland people, it will be a national war full of uncertainty and even failure, Your Majesty, is this going to use the power of the whole country to carry out the war of annihilation?

Now that the country has abundant grain and grass, coupled with the abundant treasury, strong soldiers and horses, and the gunpowder secret technique sent by the newly obtained Heavenly Master of the Ministry of War, it is really possible if you really make that terrible thing, but this is only possible.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has doubts in his heart, and he doesn't vomit or be unhappy." Wei Xian's old man stood up, guessed His Majesty's thoughts, and dared to stand up on the spot, and only this old guy was the only one.

Li Sheng's good mood suddenly disappeared, this old guy, can't you not block me? It seems that there is no hiding today.

"Aiqing has words, but it doesn't hurt to speak." Li Sheng said helplessly.

Wei Xian's face was calm, even if he knew that the Son of Heaven was in a mood that he would definitely not like him at the moment, he was not afraid, and he was holding Yugui to face the Son of Heaven Li Sheng with a straight face, and said: "Zhennan Pass is the border between the Song Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty and me, such a military fortress, the minister feels that one Wang Xuanshan is not enough. ”

His words made Li Sheng stunned, and also made all the ministers of the current dynasty stunned, Wei Xian, you are not right, you are wrong, you should oppose Your Majesty, how can you seem to help Your Majesty speak again.

Li Sheng didn't believe his ears when he said it, and said suspiciously: "Aiqing, why do you have such a statement, can't Wang Xuanlian take on this big responsibility." ”

Wei Xian didn't care what the ministers thought, and simply said bluntly: "Your Majesty wants to go to war, how can the ministers not see that Bayan has violated my side wall for no reason, coupled with Your Majesty's attitude, it is not difficult for the ministers to guess that the Ming Dynasty is also involved, my Tang State has never suffered such humiliation, the ministers are in favor of going to war, but the ministers do not approve of Your Majesty's appointment of Wang Xuanxi." ”

Wow!

The hall was suddenly in an uproar, and no one could have imagined that Wei Xian, who had always been in opposition to His Majesty, would openly support His Majesty's will, what kind of signal is this, has Wei Xian changed?

No, he has never changed, just because he is Wei Xian.

Li Sheng looked straight at Wei Xian, as if he wanted to see through this old guy, but Wei Xian had no intention of flinching, and looked directly into the eyes of the Son of Heaven.

"Why do you oppose Wang Xuan's defense of Xiguan?" Li Sheng was puzzled, so he had to lower his eyes and ask curiously.

Wei Xian bowed down again and responded: "Your Majesty wants to do a national war, although Wang Xuanlian can be called a famous general, but the experience of large and small battle formations is still insufficient, how can the national war be neglected, please think twice, although the old minister does not understand the battle formation, national affairs, you can't just rely on Your Majesty to promote whoever you want, let whoever do state affairs, this is not the way to be a king." ”

I said it well earlier, but in three sentences, I scolded Li Sheng, and Li Sheng, who was choked, almost didn't get angry, this old horseman, really can't expect him.

"Wei Xian, you are presumptuous, bold, why am I arbitrary, how can I lose the way of being a king, you explain it clearly to me, otherwise you will definitely be sceptered to you today to set an example of the monarch." Li Sheng asked angrily, he didn't teach this old guy a lesson today, and he turned against him.

The ministers hurriedly knelt down and pleaded, asking His Majesty to calm his anger.

Wei Xian was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was not afraid in the face of the angry Li Sheng, raised his head and said: "Your Majesty can't listen to the minister's words and advice so much, today Your Majesty wants to scold the old minister, the minister still has to say, Wang Xuanlone, he can't afford to take on the heavy responsibility of the national war, His Majesty is really wrong, and the minister can't watch His Majesty be wrong." ”

Li Sheng was even more furious when he heard this, wow, you are still energetic.

The "comer" was about to order the samurai in front of the palace to bring down the court staff, and the ministers once again stood up to prevent the tragedy from happening.

"Your Majesty is angry."

Of course, Li Sheng didn't want Wei Xian's life, although he was always angry that he couldn't beat this old horseman, but he was really reluctant to kill him.

Wei Xian didn't pay attention to others, he was a lonely minister, although he represented the backbone of Wenchen, but he never made friends with friends, so Li Sheng was helpless against him, and the ministers also admired his character and integrity.

The old guy continued: "Your Majesty is so angry, the minister just told the truth, Your Majesty wants to listen to the rest of the old minister's words. ”

Li Sheng waved his hand, asked the warrior in front of the hall to retreat, and said in a deep voice: "You say." ”

Wei Xiancai tidied up the clothes that were messed up by the samurai, he paid attention to his appearance, and when he was almost finished, he spoke: "The old minister is not against His Majesty's national war, Your Majesty is so excited, the minister just wants to recommend a more suitable person for Your Majesty, how can Your Majesty's strength be so narrow." ”

Li Sheng's eyes widened, his palm groped in front of the dragon bank for a while, and finally touched something, and smashed it towards Wei Xian, and after seeing what he had lost, he gasped again, he was really angry, and he smashed an inkstone, he didn't feel sorry for the little inkstone.

Rather, if he really stoned Wei Xian to death, he Li Sheng would be distressed, he hadn't thought about killing this hateful old horseman.

When the ministers saw the thing that was smashed towards Wei Xian, they also shouted in horror: "Lord Wei..." ”

Li Sheng stood up in shock.

Seeing that the inkstone was about to be smashed on the head, it was quickly enlarged in front of Wei Xian's eyes, and the ministers couldn't bear to see Wei Xian's fate, the military generals stood opposite, there was no time to rescue, and the warriors in front of the palace were also driven out, and Wenchen was even more useless, only frightened.

Who knows, the old guy Wei Xian squatted directly with a short body, and avoided the crisis of being shot in the head by the inkstone, which flew directly above his head and smashed on the ground of the main hall and fell apart, splashing ink on the ground.

The old guy got up very casually, tidied up his clothes again, looked at the ink on his clothes, and frowned a little unhappily, other than that, as if nothing had happened just now.

The ministers opened their eyes wide at this time, looking at Wei Xian in disbelief, they didn't expect that Lord Wei still had such flexible skills, it was really dangerous just now, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Even Li Sheng looked incredible, secretly glad that the old horseman was strong and flexible, hey, no, where did this old horseman practice, why don't I know.

Then, he heard Wei Xian's reasonable explanation, but this voice once again made him angry and bloody, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, a total of 54 times on different occasions, throwing things at the minister, plus this time, there have been 55 times, I hope Your Majesty corrects his irritable temperament, next time, the minister does not know if he can escape, after all, the minister is already older, and he is no longer a young man."

The ministers suddenly, who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, looked at Li Sheng, the son of heaven on the dragon chair, and his eyes were full of hard work with a smile.

Li Sheng was angry and helpless, pointing at Wei Xian, unable to say a word for a long time.

In the end, helpless, he sat on the dragon chair weakly, stroked his forehead, closed his eyes, calmed himself down as soon as possible, took a deep breath, and then asked again: "Who do you want to recommend?" ”

Wei Xian pointed to the side of the general, the middle-aged military general in a red robe, and said loudly: "Di Hanchen." ”
