"This ......" Chang Baiye was scolded by Li Zhi, and immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, he didn't expect that today's Li Zhi had such a bad temper, and he would speak so angrily as soon as he opened his mouth, is this still the usual prince with a weak personality?

Even Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi with a look of surprise, he didn't know what kind of fire Li Zhi was making, it was too abnormal, a little inexplicable, and the ministers also felt inexplicable, and they were a little confused for a while.

In fact, don't talk about them, even Li Zhi himself doesn't know why he is angry, he only knows that it was Li Hao who asked him to do this, saying that it had a miraculous effect.

"Fangcai! Listen to all of you seconding the opposition to sending troops! Li Zhi glanced at the ministers with gloomy eyes, and asked in a cold voice, "Then please tell me why you oppose sending troops to Tibet." ”

Those ministers who opposed sending troops looked at each other when they heard this, but they didn't expect Li Zhi to ask, what is the situation, the wind direction doesn't seem to be quite right.

Li Zhi saw that no one answered, so he named him: "Ruan sacrificial wine, tell me, why do you oppose sending troops to Tibet?" ”

When the prince of the country heard this, Ruan Tongqing hurriedly replied: "Go back to His Royal Highness the Prince, because my Tang Dynasty has just finished fighting the Western Turkistan ......."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his speech, and then remembered that Chang Baiye had already said this reason, and was reprimanded by Li Zhi, in peacetime, this reason is feasible, because a country should not use troops frequently, after all, war is the source of chaos, which will cause the death of a large number of people, the loss of farmland, the consumption of materials, etc., but the war to destroy the Western Turks was fought too beautifully, so beautiful that it almost had no impact on the Tang Dynasty, and it only lost 30,000 soldiers and horses. This usual reason does not hold.

Seeing Li Zhihu's face, Ruan Tongqing's heart tightened, and he hurriedly began to think of other reasons, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of it, and he had been in that way, which was very embarrassing.

Li Zhi snorted coldly: "Isn't there a reason?" ”

Ruan Tongqing really wanted to cry at the moment, he finally sat in the position of sacrificing wine, and he could go to the court, but he didn't expect to be so embarrassed in the Taiji Hall today, it was a shame to be thrown to his grandmother's house, he could only plop down and kneel on the ground, kowtow and said: "The old minister is ignorant, please punish Your Majesty and His Royal Highness!" ”

"General Li Hao's words are true...... Li Zhi said with a cold face, and his voice was cold, "Between my palace majesty of the Tang Dynasty, there are really birds and beasts that eat Lu, and the corpses are vegetarian!" At the end of his speech, he almost stared.

Now Li Zhi is really angry, these ministers make him angry, military affairs, national affairs, there is no reliable reason, just blindly follow the crowd to oppose it, is this what a good minister should do, just pull an illiterate farmer to come, what others say, follow what they say, isn't it, and this person is still a prince who reads poetry and books, Li Zhi is the prince after all, and he cares about the country, how can he not be angry.

Li Zhi's shout frightened all the ministers to lower their heads, and the momentum of the superior was fully revealed, and they finally realized that the prince in front of them was the future emperor, he had a good temper, it was not that he would not be angry, he was angry, and it was also very scary.

Ruan Tongqing fell prostrate on the ground, trembling all over, although Li Shimin and Li Zhi did not give him any punishment, but from Li Zhi's attitude, it can be seen that he will not be able to use this sacrificial wine for long, even if Li Shimin can tolerate him, he is afraid that after Li Zhi takes the throne, he will be attacked as soon as possible.

There is a saying called a son of heaven and a courtier, which means that the change of the person in power, the subordinates also change, this is a truth that has been unbreakable for thousands of years, every emperor succeeds to the throne, within a year or two, will purge the court, make major personnel changes, dismiss the person who does not like the eye, kill the head of the head, exile the exile, and then put the people who think they are capable and trustworthy in important posts, and describe it in four words - drastic.

Li Shimin's heart disease is frequent, this is not a secret, I am afraid that his life will not be long, Li Zhi's ascension to the throne will be a matter of one or two years, after Li Zhi succeeds to the throne, he will definitely make a series of official position adjustments, those who can't help but weigh it, just go home to farm or do business.

Li Shimin has been the emperor for a long time, and the ministers have figured out their temper and bottom line, and these ministers have bullied the tiger and the elderly, and formed a group of parties to trick Li Shimin.

Li Hao also discovered this, so he used Li Zhi, the dark horse, to deter them, you have figured out Li Shimin's temper, right, have you figured out Li Zhi's temper?

The answer is no, almost all people ignore Li Zhi, thinking that Li Zhi is a soft persimmon with a cowardly personality, and even Li Zhi's father Li Shimin thinks so.

It is precisely because everyone ignores Li Zhi, and now that Li Zhi is suddenly furious, everyone feels terrible, honest people are angry, it is really scary, not to mention that this is still the future emperor, in the future, this group of ministers will have to eat under his hands, whether they can pass the new emperor's drastic move after taking the throne is still unknown.

The group of ministers below who opposed the dispatch of troops immediately complained bitterly and regretted it.

The eldest grandson Wuji secretly turned around, and was very annoyed when he saw that everyone was remorseful, but he didn't expect to kill Li Zhi halfway, and he didn't expect Li Zhi to have such a great influence, all of this is too abnormal, which is not in line with Li Zhi's style at all.

As smart as the eldest grandson Wuji, he naturally understands now, it must be Li Hao who instigated Li Zhi to do this, he is very angry, his nephew who is bent on wooing him, and now he actually helps outsiders to deal with him, can he not be angry, he also helped him hide Wu Meiniang's pregnancy, for a moment, he really wanted to shake this matter out, everyone came to a dead end, fortunately he was not carried away by anger, otherwise today's court meeting will be the darkest court meeting since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

The eldest grandson Wuji turned his head to look at Li Hao angrily, and Li Hao also turned his head to look at him, but Li Hao's face at this moment was joyless and sad, indifferent, as if today's matter had nothing to do with him at all, the eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Hao's calm appearance, his heart sank, and he finally realized that the current Li Hao, even in the power struggle, has surpassed him, an old fox. The reason why he opposed sending troops to Tibet was because he knew that if he attacked Tibet, Li Hao would definitely participate, and nine times out of ten Li Hao was in charge, after all, Li Hao was the nemesis of Tubo and the general of Tiance Mansion, and Tiance Mansion had the highest right to speak in the use of troops abroad.

Li Hao's current status is on par with the eldest grandson Wuji, if Li Hao makes a great contribution, then Li Hao will step into the sky and step on him steadily, at that time, he can only resign and go home to retire, he is unwilling!

It is precisely because he is unwilling that he will fight so hard and gather so many friends to oppose the dispatch of troops to Tibet, even if Li Shimin talks to him alone, he does not care about the feelings of the monarch and ministers for many years, and insists on going his own way and opposing the sending of troops, which makes Li Shimin very disappointed, and Li Shimin also caused a heart disease for this.

The eldest grandson Wuji gathered so many people to oppose it, but Li Haoqi was high, and only invited Li Zhi alone, only this one person, it shocked the audience, extremely clever, and the eldest grandson Wuji hated it, why did he not expect Li Zhi to have such great power, but let Li Hao pick up the leak.

Until now, Li Shimin has also discovered the miraculous effect of Li Zhi's horse, he can see that those ministers who were originally opposed, it seems that many people regret it, and the experienced Li Shimin has faintly guessed the reason, and has to secretly sigh Li Hao's cleverness, knowing that using Li Zhi's strange soldier, if he had known earlier, why would he ask him to do it, just tell his son directly.

Don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, Li Shimin said with a majestic face at this time: "Zhuqing is too disappointed to me, and he opposes sending troops to Tibet, but he can't tell a reason. ”

Although Li Shimin was angry at their behavior, but the matter of sending troops at the moment was very big, these ministers who were vegetarian in the future, if they couldn't solve it, it would be good for Li Zhi to solve it drastically in the future and use it to deter the ministers.

So he continued to say with a tiger face: "I ask again, do you still have objections to the matter of sending troops to Tibet, if you have no objections, please return to the queue!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers standing outside the queue secretly raised their heads, you look at me, I look at you.

Seeing this, Li Zhi twisted his eyebrows and asked loudly: "See what others do?" You are completely unrepentant and still act in such a conformist way! ”

Li Zhi's rebuke was really effective, those ministers hurriedly returned to the team, and there were only seven people left outside the queue in an instant, these people were still relatively tenacious, and they still insisted on opposing the sending of troops, they all had one thing in common, they were all members of the gate valve family.

Li Shimin looked at these people and asked, "Okay, now please tell me about your high opinions!" ”

Li Changrong, the secretary of Honglu Temple, arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, although Tubo lost 150,000 horses because of the invasion of my Tang Dynasty the year before last, but after two years of recuperation, it has recovered its vitality and has nearly 300,000 troops, and I want to exterminate it in the Tang Dynasty, so I can only use the troops of Qinghai Guard, although Your Majesty has increased the number of troops to Qinghai Guard by 40,000, but it is only 80,000, how can I exterminate Tubo and send troops, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" ”

The other seven people also seconded the proposal, meaning that they were all in this view, and they didn't bother to think about other reasons, because other reasons were untenable, or this reason was convincing.

After listening to this, Li Shimin slowly pulled his beard: "Well, Li Siqing's words are reasonable, poetic madness, you are the general of Tiance Mansion, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Li Hao arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are noble, and there are not many, otherwise no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, they will just waste food and salary." ”

Li Shimin said: "I also understand this reason, but the disparity between the forces of the two sides is huge, can you be sure?" ”

Li Hao said: "Back to Your Majesty, the disparity between the forces of the two sides is indeed very great, if you give the minister 160,000 soldiers and horses, you can ensure that the Tubo hand is captured, 80,000 soldiers and horses, and the minister is only fifty percent sure!" ”

"Fifty percent sure!" When the ministers heard this, they all exclaimed, 80,000 to 300,000, and fifty percent sure, this cowhide is blowing loudly enough.
