Chapter 745: There was opposition

Seeing Wang De come out, these people also stopped talking, and then walked into the hall one after another, Li Shimin stood next to the sand table, and Li Xiang was also standing next to him.

The sand table is also only available in the last half a year, there was no such thing at the original time, even if some maps were drawn, it was a big gap, there was no way to find an accurate point from above, but since Li Xiang got this sand table, everyone likes to talk about things next to the sand table, and there is a feeling of dominating the world.

Li Shimin especially likes this feeling, now in many places in the palace and the Ministry of War, Li Shimin has ordered to build a lot of sand tables, if there is no sand table where you are, then when you explain things, Li Shimin will feel very disgusted, so the officials below have learned, they also know the importance of the sand table, and now this thing is almost a must-have for the various yamen of the Tang Dynasty.

"You are all here, I am looking at things about the southwest region, soon this kid will visit Nanzhaoguo, you have some knowledge of the situation over there, I called you here today to discuss, how to get along with Nanzhaoguo."

There are no ministers in the court, only these few henchmen, so Li Shimin speaks more directly, you have spoken to this extent, so is there anything else to discuss? It is clear that he has taken a fancy to other people's land, and since he took Tuyuhun, the pace of the Tang Dynasty has not stopped.

"Then there's nothing to say, let's just send troops over, according to the news that Weichen knows, the number of troops in their country is not much, and tens of thousands of people have died, and they are distributed throughout the country, if our army gets there, it won't take any effort at all, it is estimated that it will take three or five months to force them to surrender."

Cheng Biting Jin was very excited when he heard this, although because of Li Xiang, Cheng Biting Jin could not lead the troops out of Beijing, but he was still very interested in expanding the territory of the Tang Dynasty, after listening to Cheng Biting Jin's words, Li Shimin's heart was very happy, he also thought like this, but on the surface he couldn't say it, if the emperor of a country was like a warmonger, it would damage his dignity.

Cheng Biting Jin represents the military generals within the imperial court, when Cheng Biting Jin said this, Li Xiaogong and General Li Jing and Wei Chi Jingde were silent, although Cheng Biting Jin said a little rude, but this does represent their meaning.

"Wechen thinks there's something wrong with this."

Fang Xuanling rarely expresses his meaning directly, and he says it in a more euphemistic way, but today he sees so many people here, especially the generals are here, and they are also the most important generals in the country, if they really make a decision, then they will not have a chance to say these words, and they will have a far-reaching impact on the entire Tang Dynasty.

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Cheng Yanjin and the others frowned, if it weren't for the long time that everyone had been together, they would have scolded them in one sentence, what's wrong? We are also fighting for living space for the entire Tang Dynasty, yes, according to the words of His Royal Highness Taisun, it is to compete for living space.

"Wechen also thinks that there is something wrong with this matter."

What surprised everyone was that although the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling both belonged to the civil ministers, the civil officials were basically on the side of the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji was the representative of the civil officials, Fang Xuanling had always been outside the entire civil official group, but how could the two be united today?

It's not just Cheng Biting Jin who was surprised, including Li Xiang and Li Shimin, I don't understand the situation today, although the two of you are civil officials, but the discord between the two of you has been a matter for many years, and it is precisely because these two people fight each other that it usually gives Li Shimin a headache.

One person is the prime minister of the imperial court, and the right is naturally needless to say, and the other person is his brother-in-law, who has been obedient since the beginning of the army, and has helped himself do a lot of things, and he is also the children's own uncle, no matter who becomes the emperor, the rights of the eldest grandson Wuji may be all over the world, which is the advantage of the uncle of the country.

Li Shimin was worried in the past that if the battle between these two people escalated, it would definitely not be beneficial to the entire Datang, but today the two of them actually have the same opinion, which is the first time in many years.

"If you two Aiqing have something to say, we monarchs and ministers have been here for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen the two of you have the same opinion, and today I want to hear what you can say."

Li Shimin's words shocked the hearts of the two people, although Li Shimin was worried that the two people were fighting each other, but if he was more worried, he must be more worried about the collusion between these two people, once these two people colluded, then the civil official group of the imperial court would be invincible, even if the military general group wanted to fight with them, then it would have to be weighed.

When a dynasty is in danger, then the status of the generals will rise in a straight line, after all, they have to guard the safety of the dynasty, but if the dynasty is in peace, then the military generals group is not able to compare with the civilian officials, and now if it is not because of Li Xiang's strong rise, I am afraid that the group will be even more lonely.

In addition, Li Shimin advocated the imperial examination, which further enhanced the voice of the civil and official group, and all the new blood came from the imperial examination, although there were also a few martial arts people, but in peacetime, Cheng Biting Jin and their status were like this, who could look down on those martial arts people?

"Eldest grandson, please."

"Prime Minister, please."

If there was such a right to speak at the original time, the two would have to fight with each other, but at this moment, the two of them turned out to be humble, which made the people around them even more confused, did you two take the wrong medicine today?

According to the official position, Fang Xuanling is naturally the first civil official, who makes the family the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, but if it is about influence, the eldest grandson Wuji should be the first, many people have long said that the eldest grandson Wuji is the first wealthy family in the Tang Dynasty, who makes the family have an innate advantage?
