Chapter 49 A group of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves(1/2)

Menxia Provincial Political Affairs Hall, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Yang Gongren, Yu Wenshi and Seung-seat were together. At the suggestion of Chen Ying, Li Jiancheng appointed Li Jing as the Minister of War, to serve as the Minister of War, and to enter the Political Affairs Hall.

Since this, Li Jiancheng's Kaiyuan Dynasty changed Li Yuan's Wude Dynasty's Political Affairs Hall and the six major prime ministers into five major prime ministers.

Just in the Political Affairs Hall, when discussing Li Jiancheng's sudden intake of sudden losses.

Li Jiancheng visited the Political Affairs Hall, and the prime ministers attended the ceremony for Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said, "I will bring an ear here today, you guys continue!"

Fang Xuanling coughed and said, "What would Jie Li think when he took Tuli in?"

Yang Gongren said lightly: "What can he think? The fat meat in his mouth suddenly lost a large piece, and Jie Li must be furious."

Wei Zheng frowned and said, "Jie Li attacked Tuli. We did not go to rescue him. Jie Li would definitely judge and we fear him. Maybe Jie Li would send someone to Chang'an to ask Tuli."

Fang Xuanling said: "If Jie Li comes to ask for someone, should we give it to him or not? Jie Li doesn't get the person, and he might go south to take revenge."

Li Jiancheng stared at Fang Xuanling with a expressionless face and said, "Will handing over Tuli Khan to Jie Li bring to the Tang Dynasty any benefits?"

Everyone was stunned, and looked at each other.

Li Jiancheng sneered and said, "Since we do this, we can't get any benefits. Then why should we do this? Is it weak to bully?"

Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng's gentle voice suddenly turned into anger and shouted: "Or is it a bad brain?"

Fang Xuanling was speechless.

Li Jiancheng looked at Fang Xuanling's expression of eating and feeling very happy.

Since he ascended the throne, Fang Xuanling has been a troll. Fang Xuanling will criticize him for whatever Li Jiancheng does, especially Fang Xuanling uses his righteousness to force Li Jiancheng to make concessions, making Li Jiancheng as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly.

Now, Li Jiancheng used Fang Xuanling's words to retort him.

Fang Xuanling remained silent.

Li Jiancheng continued: "How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed? There is only one Tang Dynasty in this world. Not only will I not hand over Tuli to Jie Li, but I will also reward him heavily. I want to grant Tuli the title of Prince of Beiping of the Tang Dynasty and stationed in Youzhou."

Of course, with the ability of Anton's great guardian Li Shiji, there is absolutely no problem with seeing the death of Tuli.

Li Jing bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Fang Xuanling stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what are the benefits of going to war with the Turks?"

Li Jiancheng stared at Fang Xuanling with a firm expression and said, "A severely weakened Turkic is the interest of the Tang Dynasty. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there is no need for a powerful grassland tribal neighbor. For the Tang Dynasty, the Turkic death is the best Turkic!"

Wei Zheng, Yang Gongren, Yu Wenshi looked at each other in panic.

Wei Zhengdao: "Your Majesty, those who are respected in their positions but have no virtue are dismissed; those who are rich in wealth but have no righteousness are punished; those who are lowly and love virtue are respected; those who are poor and have righteousness are honored. Duke Huan of Qi respected virtue as he overlords, while the Qin Dynasty was punished and died. Your Majesty must not forget the lessons of the past."

Yu Wenshi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Wei Prime Minister is right. A gentleman holds the way and governs, acts according to virtue, stands benevolence and stands with righteousness and be strong. If you blindly pursue kings and hegemony, it will be harmful to the country and the country!"

Yang Gongren nodded repeatedly.

Fang Xuanling looked at everyone without saying a word.

Li Jiancheng found Fang Xuanling was silent and asked provocatively: "Fang Xuanling, why don't you speak?"

Fang Xuanling said solemnly: "Because Your Majesty is right, I have nothing to say."

Li Jiancheng was stunned.

The prime ministers sitting next to him stared at Fang Xuanling in surprise.

Yu Wenshi hummed with dissatisfaction: "Is this what Fang Xuanling can say?"

Fang Xuanling stood up and said loudly: "I would like to ask all the prime ministers, what is benevolence and righteousness?"

Everyone was silent and looked at each other.

Fang Xuanling said sternly: "In the first year of Wude, the Tang Dynasty was established. Shibi, who was the Khan of the Eastern Turks, personally led an army of 150,000 to attack Bingzhou, captured more than 5,000 men and women, and led more than 100,000 cavalry to plunder Shuozhou and attack Taiyuan. In the second year of Wude, he attacked Fengzhou, Shengzhou, and Lingzhou, and massacred Fengzhou. In the third year of Wude, Ashinaduo led another army of 100,000, and cooperated with Liu Wuzhou to attack Hedong and poison Guanzhong. The people were displaced and millions died in Daozuo. From the first year of Wude to the seventh year of Wude, the Eastern Turks invaded the Tang Dynasty almost every year. At that time, where was the benevolence and righteousness of the court?"

Fang Xuanling faced Li Jiancheng and said with a bright look: "Your Majesty, the benevolence and righteousness of a saint has never been used to measure human morality, it is the principle used to govern the country..."

Li Jiancheng unconsciously sat upright.

Fang Xuanling said excitedly: "Love those who support you, guard those who support you, so that all those who support you can live and work in peace, and that all those who threaten them can feel the power of your steel knife. This is the benevolence and righteousness of the court." Li Jiancheng stood up suddenly and stared at Fang Xuanling tightly.

Yang Gongren looked back and forth at Fang Xuanling and Li Jiancheng in surprise and excitement.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and their eyes were extremely firm.

Li Jiancheng said solemnly: "The war with the Turks is not as simple as it can be achieved overnight. The Turks are not paper-made wolves. Even now, they can still pull out a cavalry of 300,000 people at any time. Moreover, Jie Li is promoting the alliance with the surrounding tribes. You and I must not underestimate such an enemy."

Wei Zheng said: "We are too much, but not too much. Guanlong has not yet escaped from the great famine. Whether from training soldiers to raising food and fodder, the Tang Dynasty has not yet prepared to carry out a strategic decisive battle with the Turks."

Fang Xuanling sneered: "But there is one thing that is unquestionable, that is..."

Li Jiancheng continued: "As sooner or later, we will fight a life-and-death decisive battle with the Turks."

Fang Xuanling said: "When is the decisive battle that Your Majesty envisioned?"

Li Jiancheng hugged his arms and said, "Next year's autumn."

One thing is that Li Jiancheng did not tell the truth. The war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks had begun.

Chen Ying had already secretly headed north. At this time, Chen Ying accompanied Li Xiuning in and out of Chang'an City. Chen Ying was actually Guo Bingxi. This Guo Bingxi is from Taiyuan Sunqu, and looks very similar to Chen Yingchang, and his figure is almost the same. If He Yue'er's disguise skills are added, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false even Li Xiuning himself.

Chen Ying heard that Li Jiancheng had found him such a substitute that was enough to be fake and real, and he was very worried. Li Jiancheng considered more than Chen Ying. Now, after Guo Bingxi was castrated, he served as Renshou Palace and the Minister of the Eunuch.

Yang Gongren asked in confusion: "Next fall?"

Li Jiancheng said: "Yes, before the decisive battle, we must do everything we can to strengthen our strength."

Li Jing nodded and said, "At the same time, I try my best to weaken the power of the Turks."

Li Jiancheng looked at everyone and said, "Dear Masters, you have all read Sun Tzu's Art of War."

Fang Xuanling said lightly: "Teel it when profit, take it when chaos, prepare it when it is real, avoid it when it is strong, stumble it when it is angry, arrogant when it is humble, work it when it is leisure, leave it when it is close to it. Attack it without preparation, and unexpectedly..."

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Yes, what we need to do now is to lure the Turkic army to take large-scale and incorrect military actions at the wrong time, incorrect place, and incorrect form."

Fang Xuanling suddenly realized something and looked at Li Jiancheng in surprise and said, "We also contributed to the inner quarrel between Jie Li and Tu Li?"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "That's right!"

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Turi is the true heir of the Turkic Shibi Khan. The two khans Chuluo and Jie Li both seized the throne and took responsibility."

Fang Xuanling suddenly realized.

Li Jiancheng said: "The Turkic king's tent has long been arguing with his brothers. We are just meeting by chance and following the flow of the boat."

Li Jiancheng looked at Fang Xuanling and suddenly asked: "Do you know Ye Zhiqiu?"

Fang Xuanling nodded hurriedly, Li Jiancheng, the chief of the Hundred Cavalry Director, and the second person under Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling could not have known it.

Fang Xuanling's face suddenly changed drastically. No wonder Li Shimin failed. Could it be that Ye Zhiqiu is Li Jiancheng's person?

Li Jiancheng sneered: "This person is an official of the Former Qin Palace, and he is a Turkic person in Beitou. He studied this person like Du Yan, and is the study of the Legal kings and domineering masters."

Li Jiancheng said, looking at Fang Xuanling with a meaningful smile.

In fact, it is not just Ye Zhiqiu, Du Yan, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others who are all learning the Legalist King and Balancing!”

Some things are inconvenient to announce.

That is, Yu Wen and escaped from Chang'an City after the failure, which was also Chen Ying's instructed. His purpose was to divide the Eastern Turks. In fact, it was not only the divisive Tuli, but also the Yinan Khan of Xueyantuo's tribe.

Wei Zhengdao: "It can be said that Tuli and Jie Li's rebellion became enemies, and Ye Zhiqiu was in it, and he had a great effect."

Li Jiancheng and others looked at each other knowingly and smiled.

...

In the northern part of the Mo, in the tent of the Eastern Turkic Khan.

Jie Li and Princess Yicheng sat on the wool felt, and at the bottom were countless envoys from various countries. On the huge carpet in the center of the tent, there were more than a dozen exposed-clad Sassanian (Persian) beauties, singing and dancing enthusiastically.

A Turkic special messenger handed a roll of kraft paper to Jie Li.

Jie Li opened the kraft paper to read.

Jie Li put down the kraft paper and stared at the messenger with a cold look, "Tuli actually ran to Chang'an to lick Li Jiancheng's boots?"

Princess Yicheng found that Jie Li had a bad face and asked, "What happened?"

Jie Li said: "Turil ran to Chang'an!"

The messenger said with a look of fear and fear, "Report to Ke Dun, Li Jiancheng, let Tuli be the prince of Peiping, and stationed in Youzhou."

Princess Yicheng was stunned and said in confusion: "Khan, isn't that Luo Yi's title? Tangren is provoking."

In fact, Luo Yi did not rebel like history at this time, but instead replaced Xue Wanche as the chief general of Jingzhou, and was still named King of Yan, like Du Fuwei, enjoying the title of Prince.

When Li Jiancheng reduced the title of the royal family, he did not reduce Luo Yi and Du Fuwei. He wanted to form a fixed law that the Tang Dynasty could enfeoff a prince of a different surname.

Whether it is Du Fuwei or Luo Yi, it is just a name and no real power.

Jie Li showed a ferocious look on his face, and twisted the kraft paper into a mochi and said, "Blow the trumpet and call on the special forces of each department."

Seeing Jie Li's expression was not good, representatives of envoys from various ministries and countries said goodbye one after another.

It was not long before envoys from various countries left, and secret service from various ministries came in slowly.

Seeing all the nobles arrive, Jie Li beat the sheepskin with murderous scabbard and said, "Turi should turn into horse manure and be buried in the grass outside, rather than staying in Chang'an City and becoming a prince of Peking. I want everyone to know what the consequences should be if betrayed me!"
