Chapter 291 A sudden change of circumstances
Chang'an, the Imperial Palace, Li Shimin's newly renovated palace.
Yunding sandalwood is used as the beam, crystal jade is used as the lamp, pearl is used as the curtain, and Fan Jin is used as the column base.
A six-foot-wide agarwood wide bed hangs a crocodile gauze tent, embroidered with pearls and silver threads and begonia flowers all over the tent. When the wind blows, the gauze moves like a magical sea falling into the clouds.
There is a sapphire fragrant pillow on the couch, covered with soft silkworm ice mat, stacked with jade belts and quilts. A huge moon bead hangs on the top of the treasure in the palace, shining like a bright moon.
Li Shimin sat on the bedside, with Fang Xuanling, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Su Dingfang, and Xue Wanche standing in front of him.
Looking at Fang Xuanling, Li Ji and others, Li Shimin was filled with emotion.
I recall that in the early years of Zhenguan, there were many famous ministers under my command, such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Li Jing, Wei Zheng this group of talents was so prosperous. But now, most of these old ministers have passed away, and the remaining ones are also old and sick. Only a few people, such as Fang Xuanling and Li Ji, were still active in the court.
It is true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and a new generation replaces old friends.
Li Shimin recovered his thoughts and said: "I just received an urgent report from the western border. Tuyuhun has sent 200,000 troops to invade the Tang Dynasty and has occupied several cities in the Tang Dynasty. How do you think we should deal with it?"
Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Majesty, Tuyuhun dares to take the initiative to attack our Tang Dynasty. How can our Tang Dynasty allow him to run rampant? We should send a large army to defeat Tuyuhun and teach him a lesson."
Xue Wanche also said: "Yes, Tuyuhun should be resolutely attacked until the country is subjugated to avoid future troubles."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "I plan to let the prince lead the army to repel Tuyuhun. What do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, Fang Xuanling winked at Xue Wanche, and Xue Wanche said: "Your Majesty, I think this is not allowed."
"Oh?" Li Shimin looked at Xue Wanche with some confusion.
Xue Wanche said loudly: "The prince has proven his ability many times in the previous battles against Goguryeo, Xue Yantuo, Tianzhu and the Western Regions. The prince has become the war god of the Tang Dynasty, but Tuyuhun is no better than other places. It is located on the plateau and the air is thin. It is said that ordinary It is difficult for people to walk, let alone fight. If the prince makes a mistake, his reputation will be ruined. Besides, the prince is the crown prince of the country and should not be touched lightly."
Li Shimin frowned, thinking that what Xue Wanche said made sense.
Cheng Yaojin on the side said: "The prince is wise and powerful. When it comes to fighting, who in the Tang Dynasty can be as good as the prince? Do we need Li Jing who is on the sick bed to go to war?"
Xue Wanche shook his head and said: "I have a candidate to lead the army."
"Oh? Who is it?"
"Jin Wang Li Zhi." Xue Wanche said.
"Zhi'er? With his temperament, how can he lead troops on an expedition? Besides, he has no experience in leading troops in combat." Li Shimin shook his head.
Xue Wanche said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is kind and talented enough to hold a big position, but he has had the opportunity to show it before. I think that we should give His Highness the King of Jin a chance to display his talents, so that everyone can see that all of His Majesty's sons are civil and military talents." The best of both worlds.¡±
Li Shimin shook his head and said: "Zhi'er has been weak-tempered since he was a child. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to let him go on an expedition."
"I think that the King of Jin can take on a big responsibility." Fang Xuanling said loudly.
Fang Xuanling is the prime minister and the number one minister around Li Shimin. Li Shimin does not need to listen to what others say, but Li Shimin has to consider Fang Xuanling's words.
Li Shimin said to Fang Xuanling: "Zhi'er is too weak-tempered and not suitable for leading an army."
Fang Xuanling said loudly: "This is because Your Majesty did not give King Jin the opportunity to lead troops."
"Zhen'er is more suitable than Zhi'er."
"Your Majesty, there is a pond of crucian carp like this. It is usually very quiet until it dies. If you add a catfish, the crucian carp will be more active than before, and will grow stronger than before."
"You mean" Li Shimin's heart moved.
"The prince is like a crucian carp, and the King of Jin is like a catfish. If there is no competition, then the prince will slack off, but if there is competition, then the prince will work harder and become a wise king in the future." Fang Xuanling said.
Li Shimin thought about it for a long time, and Fang Xuanling's words were tantamount to saying that if Li Zhi was given a chance, he might not be worse than Li Zhen.
In Li Shimin¡¯s heart, out of love for Empress Changsun, he really loves Li Zhi even more. If Li Zhi can also show his talents, he will live up to Empress Changsun!
Yes, Li Zhen has always been so dazzling, like the sun in the sky.?Let his other sons be eclipsed, but this does not mean that his other sons are inferior, but that they have no chance.
" If I give Zhi'er a chance to compete with Zhen'er, then the one who will eventually ascend to the throne must be the strongest. If I give Zhi'er a chance, I will be worthy of Empress Changsun.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's heart moved.
"What Xuan Ling said makes sense!" Li Shimin nodded, with a pleased smile on his face.
Li Ji frowned and wanted to say something, but swallowed his words. He knew the importance of Fang Xuanling's words in Li Shimin's heart, and looking at Li Shimin's expression, he obviously agreed with Fang Xuanling's words. It would be useless for him to say more, but it would disrupt Li Shimin's determination.
"If he lets the King of Jin lead the army on an expedition, there is no need to dissuade him. War is not a child's play. How can the King of Jin win if he has no experience in fighting?"
As long as he fails, those people will completely withdraw from the competition with Li Zhen for the throne.
If you want to make someone fail, make him crazy first!
Cheng Yaojin wanted to say something, but Li Ji winked at him, so Cheng Yaojin stepped back.
Li Shimin said: "Okay, then let Zhi'er lead the army on the expedition, but who will be his general?"
Fang Xuanling thought to herself that people like Li Ji and Cheng Yaojin were from the prince's lineage, so they would not try their best to help the King of Jin. Fortunately, he already had candidates.
Fang Xuanling winked at Xue Wanche, and Xue Wanche said, "I am willing to accompany the prince on the expedition."
"Okay, that's right." Li Shimin said in his heart that Xue Wanche was a veteran general, brave and resourceful. Although he suffered a defeat in Youzhou, he should still be given a chance to atone for his sins, so that he could go on the expedition.
"Your Majesty, Chai Ling, the son of the old consort Chai Shao, is both civil and military, and he can also go out as a general." Fang Xuanling said.
"Okay, let's make Chai Lingwu the general according to what the two beloved ministers said."
Li Shimin knew Chai Lingwu well, and he was quite as heroic as his mother, Princess Pingyang, so this time he could let him show off his talents.
"I have given Zhi'er a chance, hoping that he can live up to expectations and return in triumph this time. In this way, he will compete with the prince, and he will be worthy of the deceased empress Changsun
At the moment, Li Shimin ordered Li Zhi to be the commander-in-chief, Xue Wanche and Chai Lingwu to be his deputies, and sent 300,000 troops to the western border to resist the invasion of Tuyuhun.
It was at this moment that Li Zhen was summoned by Li Shimin and came outside the dormitory (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
