"Silence!"

"Silence!"

"No noise in the hall!"

The eunuchs on duty and the palace officials wasted the boss's strength, and finally let the courtiers reluctantly regain their quiet.

But quiet is quiet, those firm eyes, that look at death as if they were at home, as if to say-

Your Majesty, if you dare to be the marshal of the waterway, we will die on the golden steps to show you!

Everyone, stop playing!

"Humph!"

Li Shimin was also in a broken posture at the moment, and said coldly,

"I've made up my mind! Thou shalt wait for Hugh to oppose it again! ”

"In this battle, I will definitely fight hard and defeat Goguryeo within three months to promote the prestige of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Fang Xuanling, hurry up and draft the holy decree!"

At the sound of an order, the ministers cried again.

Fang Xuanling's face was even more solemn, and he shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty, this is too risky, and the minister can't take the order!"

"Please think again, Your Majesty!"

After that, he already knelt down on his knees and fell in front of Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

All the ministers knelt down, and even the generals knelt down and begged!

Among them, the most intense emotions are not others, but the fierce general Wei Chi Gong!

"Your Majesty, you are not the King of Qin now, you are the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, you must no longer be as unscrupulous as you were back then!"

"If you want to talk about land warfare, it's just that, but water warfare, or cross-sea warfare, we have no experience! Just crossing the sea is an extremely dangerous thing, and Your Majesty must not be rash! ”

Wei Chigong used to be Li Shimin's personal general, so he naturally knew how strong Li Shimin's martial arts were and how coquettish he was.

But......

That's all in the past!

The last time I charged, it was twenty years ago!

At present, whether it is identity or physique, he can no longer support Li Shimin to do such a difficult thing!

All the ministers knelt down and begged the emperor to think twice.

There were only two people standing, one was Xu Fenglei, and the other was the eldest grandson Wuji, who had just been rebelled by Xu Fenglei in the morning.

"Huh!"

Li Shimin said angrily,

"Fang Xuanling, do you think that without you drafting the holy will, my will will will not be carried out?"

"Joke!"

"This court, this country, has always been my final say, not you!"

"I said that I want to drive the expedition, that is, I want to drive the expedition, and no one can stop it! Even if Wei Zheng crawled out of the grave, he couldn't stop me! ”

"If you don't write, then I will write it myself, and I will personally give myself the tiger talisman!"

Hearing these words, the ministers are numb!

Some of the former Sui ministers were even more dumbfounded-this scene is familiar!

His Majesty the Emperor, who is now wise and martial, how can he be like Yang Guang? Could it be that Goguryeo really has any magic power that can make the emperor crazy and obsessed?

It's outrageous......

"Your Majesty, never, never!"

Fang Xuanling's eyes were a little moist, and his face was red with excitement and his neck was thick.

He never expected that the emperor would be so tough today, tough like a faint king!

It is true that if the emperor is really hard-hearted, then no one can stop him, as a subordinate has no power to stop it, only admonishment, at most it is just a dead admonition!

He had no choice but to turn his gaze to Xu Fenglei and Eldest Sun Wuji, and said eagerly:

"Duke Jin, Duke Zhao, you have something to say!"

"Is it just watching Your Majesty take risks and watching Jiangshan Sheji fall into danger!"

At the moment, these two people have not yet expressed their position.

And these two happen to be the people with the most power to speak in the court, especially Xu Fenglei, at this juncture, only he can reverse His Majesty's mind!

The eldest grandson Wuji's expression was grim, and he arched his hand and said:

"Your Majesty, the conquest of Goguryeo, the subordinates all agreed."

"But if you are the marshal of the waterway, you must not be able to! The Datang Sailor has just finished training, and to put it mildly, it's just an immature seedling! It remains to be seen how powerful it will be! ”

"Besides, the sea is unpredictable, there are countless records of various shipwrecks in all dynasties, you must know that it is very dangerous just to go to sea, let alone cross the sea to fight!"

"Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if these can be overcome, but when you get to Pyongyang, there are only 30,000 troops but you have to face the base camp of Goguryeo, where I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are and how many guards, once you fall into a heavy siege, even if you stick your wings, you can't escape!"

"The success of the raid is a beautiful thing, but if it doesn't go well, Your Majesty's safety will be worrying!"

After a few words, Xiaozhi was moved by emotion and reason, and Li Shimin's eyes narrowed when he heard it.

"Yes, yes, Zhao Gong is right!"

All the ministers agreed.

"I don't care so much!"

Li Shimin turned his heart sideways and snorted coldly,

"I firmly believe that the raid will be extremely smooth! The hardships and setbacks you are talking about will inevitably not happen! ”

"The Mandate of Heaven is in Tang, and the Mandate of Heaven is in me!"

Ministers: "......"

Faint king, faint king!

Whoever can say this is a faint king!

Your Majesty, has this been decapitated? Or are you possessed by evil spirits?

This kind of thing can be said, and it is even more floating than Yang Guang!

Just when the ministers' faces were ugly, Xu Feng suddenly shouted:

"What destiny is in Tang, destiny is yours!"

"There has never been a destiny, and even if there is, it must be in the body of a humble and virtuous and cautious person!"

"As arrogant as Your Majesty, even if you have the destiny of heaven, you have lost it!"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent.

A thought arose in the hearts of the ministers—

He is worthy of being a master!

If you don't open your mouth, it's enough, and when you open your mouth, you will directly scold your head and cover your face!

Good scolding!

You have to wake up the emperor, otherwise you don't know how big a mess will be!

"Xu Fenglei, what do you mean!"

Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and he shouted.

"It's not interesting, I just want to make Your Majesty sober up."

Xu Fenglei is neither humble nor arrogant,

"We can understand that you have the heart to go on the expedition, after all, you are the emperor who founded the country on horseback."

"But—"

"You can't joke with your life, Emperor, you have to put safety first!"

"Even if you really want to go out to take command, you have to choose the safest way! In this way, everyone can also feel a lot more at ease. ”

The ministers all nodded.

"What the master said makes sense!"

"Yes, even if you really want to fight in command, you have to take the safest way, and the waterway is too scary! I've never been on a boat in my life! ”

"Me too......"

Li Shimin's face was still gloomy.

"Then what do you say?"

He said in a deep voice,

"Anyway, I must be in command this time, and no one can stop me!"

Xu Fenglei looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, then at Fang Xuanling, and asked:

"What do you two think?"

The eldest grandson Wuji comprehended and said:

"It's all up to the Taishi to take the idea, I support your idea, the Taishi."

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he also responded:

"It's all up to the master to make the decision."

Right now, the emperor doesn't listen to anyone, and only Xu Fenglei can talk to him.

"Okay."

Xu Fenglei retracted his gaze, turned to Li Shimin, and said,

"Since Your Majesty is determined to go on an expedition, the waterway will definitely not let you take risks...... Otherwise, how about you lead the army by land and the retainers lead the sailors? ”

"The minister also has a little understanding of the ocean, and the sailors of the Tang Dynasty can be said to have been created by the minister."

"I am willing to lead 30,000 navies, cross the sea and take Pyongyang, and then join His Majesty's land army victoriously!"

"I don't know Your Majesty, are you willing to agree?"

Fang Xuanling's expression was abrupt when he heard this, and he just wanted to speak, but was stopped by the eldest grandson Wuji.

Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head and gave him a reassuring look.

Fang Xuanling: "......"

Eventually, he didn't speak.

When the ministers heard Xu Fenglei's remarks, they were all silent and did not speak out against it.

It's just that...... It feels like something is wrong......

"By land? I've fought for so many years, and I've used the army, and this time I want to command the navy and have a good time! ”

Li Shimin frowned and said,

"Isn't that okay?"

Xu Fenglei shook his head.

"Fighting is not for you to enjoy, fighting is a very serious matter, and it is for soldiers to fill it with their lives!"

He said solemnly,

"If Your Majesty goes to war with such a mentality, it is irresponsible, but a bad omen!"

Li Shimin fell silent.

"There is only one chance, this is the greatest compromise between the ministers and His Majesty!"

Xu Fenglei said loudly,

"If Your Majesty still insists on going your own way, even if the ministers can't stop it, they are bound to sit in this golden palace and protest until Your Majesty changes his mind!"

The words were sonorous and powerful.

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, but after all, he is a professional actor, and he will never laugh when he shouldn't.

However, there was something funny about it.

Xu Fenglei looked like he was arguing with reason, standing on the same front as the ministers.

But in fact, they are the same group, and they are singing double reeds here!

I have to say, this kid's ghost idea is really useful! Originally, everyone did not agree with him to drive the expedition in person, but this time he wanted to be the marshal of the waterway, and then Xu Fenglei cooperated with the singing and harmony......

Everyone, it seems that there is no objection to him driving in person!

That's a real idea!

"Okay."

Li Shimin was silent and confronted Xu Fenglei for a long time, and then he was like a defeated rooster, and said a little dejectedly,

"It seems that I can only be the marshal of the waterway in my dreams."

“…… Then it's up to you to take on this task and raid Pyongyang! I served as a land marshal and attacked its cities. ”

"That's it!"

Xu Feng Raina bowed his head.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"If this can be the case, it will be a blessing for the people of Li and the people!"

He took the lead, and the eldest grandson Wuji immediately followed, although the ministers were a little confused, but seeing that Xu Fenglei and His Majesty had reached an agreement, they couldn't say anything more, so they could only echo one after another.

In any case, it can be regarded as a success to make His Majesty abandon the adventure of crossing the sea and sneaking attack...... Everyone can only think like this, talk about masturbation.

Only Fang Xuanling's face suddenly became ugly, his expression changed several times, and finally he could only let out a sigh.

He's reacting now!

But...... It's late!

"It's been agreed, let's retreat!"

Li Shimin flicked his sleeves and said,

"After Wei Zheng, you Xu Fenglei came out again, I really want to do something but can't do anything!"

"Humph!"

After that, he had already drifted away, and listening to his tone, it seemed that he was still very dissatisfied, but he was forced to compromise.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter? It wasn't like that before......"

"Alas, Your Majesty is old after all, so it is naturally impossible to have the humility of the past, and it is normal to be a little more willful, plus Duke Wei is gone, and there is no longer a way to restrain him in the court......"

"Fortunately, Duke Xu is still here, His Majesty still listens to what he says......"

"yes......"

“……”

The ministers left the Liangyi Hall in groups of three or five, casually discussing.

Fang Xuanling stood at the door, deliberately waiting for Xu Fenglei and the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Fang Xiang, let's go! It's still early, shall we have a drink? ”

Xu Fenglei greeted with a smile.

Fang Xuanling had a calm face and asked:

"The two of you and Your Majesty, they should be in the same group, right?"

The eldest grandson Wuji was slightly stunned and did not answer.

Xu Fenglei suddenly patted his head and said:

"Oops! It occurred to me that I had something urgent to deal with at home! ”

"Gone, gone! The two fathers are out of company, I'll go back and invite you to drink again! ”

"Farewell, farewell!"

When the words fell, he ran directly, and before the two of them could react, they were already gone.

Fang Xuanling turned his gaze to the eldest grandson Wuji.

Xu Fenglei there. He really didn't dare to question, but the eldest grandson Wuji was not afraid!

The two are colleagues, and in terms of grade, they are even higher than the eldest grandson Wuji!

"Am I right? His Majesty's goal at the beginning was to drive the expedition himself, not to be a marshal of the waterway! ”

Fang Xuanling stared at the eldest grandson Wuji, and said solemnly,

"Marshal of the waterway, it's just a decoy thrown out to let us bite the hook!"

"Yes and no?"

Eldest grandson Wuji: "......"

Faced with Fang Xuanling's questioning, he couldn't say half a word, and directly became dumb.

Without speaking, it is actually acquiescence.

"It's too nonsense! Even if it's just by land, it's dangerous! There is nothing that is not dangerous in war! How can you support such a move by Your Majesty? ”

Fang Xuanling said angrily,

"Even if we don't talk about the risks, what will the court do if Your Majesty leaves?"

"Eldest grandson Wuji, eldest grandson Wuji, you can't unconditionally cater to Your Majesty! Let's think about it for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji! ”

These words were already a bit heavy, so he almost pointed to the nose of the eldest grandson Wuji and said that he had no bottom line in order to please the emperor!

However, at this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji was unable to refute it, not only could he not refute it, but his face gradually began to turn red.

He admitted...... I am for my own personal interests, forgetting about the interests of the state.

Under this embarrassing situation, a eunuch with a whisk in his hand walked up quickly and said:

"Zhao Gong, Zhao Gong!"

"Fortunately, you haven't gone far yet, Your Majesty told you to come over, he is waiting for you in the upper study."

"Oh, good, good...... I'm going, I'm going......"

"Fang Xiang, let's talk later, it's important for me to go to see Your Majesty first......

He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been amnestied, hurriedly said hello to Fang Xuanling, and followed the pace of the eunuch.

Fang Xuanling watched him leave in a hurry, his expression was complicated, and in the end he could only sigh, turn around and leave.

Now that the wood is in the boat, what is the use of him except whining and scolding?
