The wheels swept over Guandao Mountain, leaving ruts in their wake.

A light rain fell from the sky, moistening the earth.

The emperor's convoy of Feng Chan has been on the journey for more than a month, and every time he arrives at a city, he will stop for a while to accept the worship of the magistrates and observe the people's feelings.

Of course, it is also because the queen is weak and can't withstand the long-distance travel, so she can only stop and go, so that she can get enough rest.

On this day, a fast horse galloped forward until Li Shimin was in front of the dragon.

In an instant, a voice came from the dragon's chariot:

"Summoning the Minister of Counsel to come here."

A moment later.

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jing, Xu Fenglei and other important ministers gathered in Longran.

Although the emperor's carriage was large, it was still a little crowded with so many people crammed in at once.

"The conditions are limited, and it will be settled."

Li Shimin slapped a letter on the square table in the middle, and said in a deep voice,

"This is out of the house, but the daily things still have to be dealt with, and it doesn't have to stop for a moment."

"I knew that I would leave a group of people in the court, and I would save myself from being so tired."

When I was on vacation last year, how comfortable it was!

It's just a fun game, and you don't have to worry about the things in the palace at all.

But now, he is in a hurry, and he has to manage the government...... It's a bit exhausting.

"It's not good to stay, such a big thing as Feng Zen may not be encountered once in hundreds of years, everyone wants to come and see the world."

Xu Fenglei said with a smile,

"Your Majesty will not be happy with whoever he keeps."

The ministers nodded their heads.

If you miss such a grand event, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life!

Anyway, they're fighting for an old bone!

"Well, that's it, let's see."

Li Shimin raised his hand and said,

"Lingnan Feng Ang played, Dong Fang rebelled, and asked the court to quell the rebellion."

"Let's discuss!"

Xu Fenglei took over the song and watched it with Fang Xuanling and others.

"In the land of Lingnan, there are many tribes, and Tusi is always in trouble, which is indeed a hidden danger."

"Yes, isn't Feng Ang also a tribal leader? It's just that he is willing to accept Wang Hua and belong to the Tang Dynasty. ”

"What do you think, Pharmacist? You are familiar with the south, how should the imperial court start to quell the chaos? ”

Several people began to discuss.

In the end, all eyes fell on Li Jing.

When he first fought the world, Li Shimin fought the northern half, and Li Jing fought the southern half.

In terms of intensity, the fighting on the northern front was even more intense.

In terms of scale, the southern route is even larger!

Therefore, Li Jing has the absolute right to speak on this emergency!

"In the smoky land of Lingnan, non-locals have gone to many of them who are not accustomed to water and soil, and even poisoned."

Li Jing groaned,

"I think that the imperial court should not send troops rashly, otherwise the losses will be very large, this is not a question of combat effectiveness or ineffectiveness, and it has nothing to do with tactics."

"It's purely that place, the advantage of the barbarians fighting at home is too great, and any tricks are not something our army can bear."

Li Shimin bowed slightly.

Xu Fenglei also nodded in agreement:

"I agree with the pharmacist's statement, the northern soldiers have arrived in the southern miasma, and their combat strength is less than thirty percent! If you are designed to harm twice, the battle damage will be very amazing. ”

"Moreover, don't look at it as just a tribal rebellion, the tribal relations in Lingnan are complicated, and it is very likely that they will be connected with each other, and it will be even more troublesome to unite against our army when the time comes."

"We must be cautious, fighting this kind of small tribe, it is right for the imperial court to win, but if it is ugly, or even in vain, it will definitely make my Tang Dynasty's prestige in Lingnan drop significantly, and even a large-scale rebellion will break out!"

Why did the ancient dynasties show little interest in the South Vietnamese states in Southeast Asia and the Silla Baekje in Northeast Asia?

It's because there is no benefit in beating down that place, and if you insist on fighting, you may cause a commotion and reduce your prestige.

In later generations, the Qing Dynasty fought Burma as an example, but the small Burma made many famous generals of the Qing Dynasty fall at that time, and the four successive commanders were killed.

"Makes sense."

Li Shimin nodded seriously and said,

"But if the court doesn't send troops, isn't it good?"

"After all, Feng Ang has been booked, he must want to get the help of the imperial court, if I am indifferent, he may also have a heart of disobedience."

This is the flaw of the restraint system.

It is a test of the monarch's methods against the old lords in those places, and if they don't get it, they will rebel.

"If you don't give the soldiers, you can give everything else."

Xu Fenglei said casually,

"Give money, food, armor and swords."

"Let him raise his own locals as soldiers and horses and form legions to suppress the rebellion."

"The locals fight the locals, they will not be unadaptable, and the cave fang has no geographical advantage, Feng Ang can completely crush the opponent with sophisticated weapons and strong backup."

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he immediately echoed:

"The master has a point."

"The imperial court only supports money, food, weapons and armor, which not only shows the attitude of support, but also looks at how many catties and taels Feng Ang has."

"If he gets such a big help that he can't even subdue a small cave fang, then he is not qualified to be the king and hegemon in Lingnan."

"In the document that His Majesty replied, it is also necessary to put some pressure on him and urge him to quell the rebellion."

Li Shimin laughed.

"There is a point in saying this, I do have this intention."

He stroked his palms and said,

"If Lingnan wants to be peaceful, there must be a person who can live in the town as the boss, otherwise how can people live in peace if they put down the rebellion today and rebel tomorrow?"

"This time, I'll have to see if he has the strength! If there is, I will naturally reward and give more support; But if not, then Lingnan's speaker, I may have to choose another candidate. ”

"Hmm...... That's what it means! Xuan Ling, you go back and draft the holy decree and send it out on the same day! ”

Fang Xuanling gave up his hand slightly.

"Yes."

He couldn't help but yawn.

"Seeing that you are all quite tired, go back and rest, and don't have to run around."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said,

"In the next while, it's time to speed up, try not to stop halfway, and go straight to Mount Tai!"

"When I arrived at Mount Tai, I had a good rest for a few days, nourished my spirit, and then followed me to seal Zen! Let's join the ceremony! ”

When the ministers heard this, their spirits were all lifted!

If you have a goal in mind, you are not afraid of getting tired!

What a glorious thing it is to be able to enshrine Zen with the emperor and worship heaven and earth!

"Yes!"

"Wait for the resignation!"

Fang Xuanling and the others got up, reluctantly bowed in the narrow carriage, and then drilled out.

"Listen."

Li Shimin said suddenly,

"You stay for a while."

Xu Fenglei was slightly stunned and stopped drilling out.

"Your Majesty, what else is going on?"

He said.

Li Shimin hesitated slightly, took out two cigarettes from his arms, and threw one to Xu Fenglei.

"Bring me one."

He whispered,

"I suddenly regretted coming to seal Zen."
