"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

……

The Wenchen seconded the proposal one after another, Li Shimin's eyebrows were about to rise to the sky, he looked at the Wenchen curiously, and asked, "I really want to hear it, why do you think Fan Lihua is more suitable for the position of the head of the march than Li Hao?" ”

Chu Suiliang said: "Back to Your Majesty, Fan Lihua came to my Tang Dynasty from the Western Turks, she has been in the Western Turks for so many years, and she knows everything about the Western Turks. ”

All the ministers shouted in unison: "It is true! ”

Chu Suiliang continued: "Not only that, Your Majesty, Fan Lihua led 20,000 soldiers and horses, swept through the Yu Governor Mountain, annihilated 100,000 enemies, killed the two Hui Xue Yantuo to the ground, and moved the tooth tent north for more than 800 miles. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers nodded one after another, what Chu Suiliang said was indeed very reasonable, although Li Hao was successful in the expedition, but Fan Lihua was also a handsome talent, and Fan Lihua knew everything about the Western Turks, so it was indeed more appropriate to send her to conquer the West.

Li Shimin nodded frequently when he heard this: "Well, Chu Sui Aiqing is reasonable......

Li Hao suddenly said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Fan Lihua is an old minister of the Western Turks, and the time of joining my Tang Dynasty is still short, and the minister is afraid that she still has old feelings for the Western Turks, and it is very inappropriate to send her to conquer the West!" ”

The ministers were in an uproar when they heard this, Li Hao's move was a bit vicious, this was a suspicion of Fan Lihua's character, it was definitely an insult, and all the ministers looked at the two of them with strange eyes, watching them tear up, expressing their joy to see it.

Fan Lihua's face was flushed with anger by Li Hao's words, she glared at Li Hao angrily, gritted her teeth and said, "King Qiongnan!" Watch your words! Ashina Helu killed my father and slaughtered my brother, I can't wait to kill him as soon as possible, if you slander me like this again, I will never give up with you! ”

Li Hao sneered when he heard this: "Yo yo yo, the acting skills are good, who knows if it was a scene that you and Ashina Helu acted in together, even I was deceived by you at the beginning, I Li Hao has never regretted much in my life, but bringing you to Datang is the thing I regret the most in my life!" ”

Even Li Shimin couldn't listen to what he said, Li Shimin smacked his lips and said: "Poetry madness, don't talk nonsense, you two are ministers in the same hall, how can you attack like this, accumulate some virtue." ”

"Your Majesty!" Li Hao said loudly, "The minister suspects that Fan Lihua is a spy sent by the Western Turks, and the minister wants to ask Dali Temple to investigate Fan Lihua thoroughly!" ”

"Li Hao!" Fan Lihua was so angry that she strode forward, saluted Li Shimin, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister requests to step down from all positions and remove all titles, and the minister can't stand Li Hao's insult!" ”

"This is really ......" Li Shimin's eyebrows gradually twisted, raised his hand and said, "Okay, both of you are not allowed to say it, Li Hao, listen well, in the future, I don't want to hear a word like this again, not only Li Hao, all of you listen well, I don't want to hear it again!" ”

"Yes!" The ministers replied in unison.

Li Hao could only smack his lips helplessly, and reluctantly followed everyone to respond.

Li Shimin said again: "As for this candidate for the expedition to the west, I think that Fan Lihua is indeed more suitable than Li Hao, the battle of Yu Governor Junshan, Fan Lihua's ability, Zhu Qing is obvious to all, of course, Li Hao's ability is not weak, but Li Hao is the general of the Tiance Mansion, with a heavy responsibility, it is indeed not suitable to go on the expedition for the time being, so it is up to Fan Lihua to conquer the west, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers chanted in unison again.

Li Hao just wanted to object, but he was drowned out by the cries of Qi, and he could only be depressed there.

"Okay, since all the Qings think that Fan Lihua is the most suitable to march to the west, then I will appoint Fan Lihua as the general manager of the march of Sanmi Mountain Road, and lead 20,000 troops, Qin Huaiyu will be the head of the march of Baishan Road, leading 10,000 troops, Wei Chi Baolin will be the head of the march of Gumo Road, leading 10,000 troops, and Cheng Chuliang will be the head of the march of Qianquan Road...... with a total strength of 60,000, and the Fifth Route Army will conquer the Western Turks, and I will definitely take the head of Ashina Helu back, remember, I only need the head of Ashina Helu!" When he said the last sentence, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Fan Lihua.

Fan Lihua clenched her fists hard, and said sonorously: "The last general must live up to his mission, and he will definitely take off Ashina Helu's head and dedicate it to the emperor!" ”

"Good! With General Fan's words, I am very relieved, when the army travels, I will definitely come to see it off in person! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Good! Next, after the military affairs are discussed, let's discuss the political affairs again. Li Shimin said slowly, "Li Daozong, the secretary of the household department, said that the household department has just received 6 million taels of silver, which is not a small amount, and it can already be worth two years of taxes in my Tang Dynasty, haha, I want to discuss with Zhu Qing, how to use so much money." ”

……

As a result, just as Li Shimin planned, 1 million taels were used to build water conservancy, and 1.5 million taels were used to build seaports and shipyards in coastal areas.

At the end of the court meeting, Li Hao was the first to rush out of the Taiji Hall in a huff, he was young, and his pace was fast, Chu Suiliang wanted to go up and squeeze him again, but he didn't catch up when he ran out of breath, so he had to give up.

When he returned home, as soon as he closed the door, Li Hao raised his head and laughed, don't laugh too arrogantly, why, happy, he thought that this time it was a bit difficult, after all, this time it involved military affairs, Li Hao's performance was diametrically opposed to usual, he was afraid that the Wenchen would be suspicious, but now it seems that these Wenchen don't seem to have so good brains, and they are being played around.

However, at this moment in the Zhao Guogong Mansion, the eldest grandson Wuji looked at the sky with a depressed face, and sighed: "Alas, Chu Suiliang, this idiot, is completely in the way of Li Hao, this Li Hao is also really insidious, if it weren't for Li Hao being too abnormal in the early court today, even the old man almost didn't see it, he and Fan Lihua and Xue Rengui are completely in the same group, these two are all promoted by Li Hao, how can they fall out with Li Hao so easily, and the two of them fell out at the same time, hum......"

Beside the eldest grandson Wuji, there is a gray-haired, more than half a hundred years old robed scribe, this scribe has an elegant temperament, although he is more than half a hundred years old, but his face is like a crown of jade, he is extremely handsome, only the corners of his eyes and forehead have a few wrinkles, it can be seen that this person is extremely focused on health, and it can also be seen that when this person is young, he must be a rare beautiful man.

This person's name is Xu Jingzong, the word Yan clan, a native of Hangzhou, he has been an official in the court for many years, but his official career is not very smooth, and he has been a foreign official for a period of time.

Because the official position is not big, he has always been very low-key, secretly invested in the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Wuji has been in obscurity for the past two years, and Li Hao is in the sky, and the courtiers think that the eldest grandson Wuji has lost power, so many people who originally took refuge in the eldest grandson Wuji withdrew, and although some people did not withdraw, they rarely came to visit the eldest grandson Wuji.

Only this Xu Jingzong likes to burn cold stoves, and at this time he took refuge in the eldest grandson Wuji, because only at this time can he be qualified to take refuge, if in the past, the eldest grandson Wuji did not take his eyes to clamp him, and he couldn't look down on him at all.

After listening to Eldest Sun Wuji's words, Xu Jingzong cautiously asked, "So, Lord Eldest Sun, do you want to tell Chu Suiliang about this?" ”

"No!" Eldest Sun Wuji raised his hand, turned to look at him, and said coldly, "These villains, seeing different ideas, don't let them plant a big heel, they don't know how many catties and taels they have, just because they also want to fight with Li Hao, hmph, without my eldest grandson Wuji, they are nothing." ”

Xu Jingzong asked worriedly when he heard this: "Then wouldn't this make Li Hao grow bigger day by day, once Fan Lihua and Xue Rengui become the climate and become Li Hao's right and left hands, how can they shake Li Hao?" ”

"You don't understand that." The eldest grandson Wuji said proudly, "Being an official is a science, no matter how big your official position is, as long as the person on the throne says a word, you will have nothing, this is called a companion like a tiger, you know?" Li Hao's son is indeed in full swing now, with Fan Lihua and Xue Rengui, he is even more powerful, but as the saying goes, things must be opposed, and a person's power is too great, which is not necessarily a good thing, not to mention that they are a group of people who can command the army, Li Jing knew this principle very well, and after defeating the Eastern Turks, he gradually withdrew from the court, because he knew that he was highly meritorious, but this Li Hao ...... Hehe, he obviously doesn't understand this truth, he's still too tender. ”

"Your Excellency is so clever!" Xu Jingzong was sincerely admired, thought about it, and frowned again, "It's just that Your Majesty still seems to have great trust in Li Hao, and the lower officials have also heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a great relationship with Li Hao......

"That's right." The eldest grandson Wuji nodded lightly and said slowly, "The relationship between Li Hao and the prince is indeed not ordinary, but you must know that now he is just the prince, and after he ascends the throne, it will be different, as soon as everyone sits in that position, they will change, become ruthless, become indifferent, and become suspicious, this has been the case since ancient times, and my nephew must be no exception, Li Hao has a close relationship with him, can he have the old man's uncle?" Well? ”

"What the adults say is very true, or the adults have a long-term vision." Xu Jingzong bowed again.

The eldest grandson Wuji slowly paced with his hands in his hands, and said as he walked: "Li Hao, the old man wants to see how long you can still jump......

Three days later, the army was integrated, Fan Lihua wore a bright silver armor, commanded the army to go out, on the Chang'an Baqiao, Li Shimin really came in person, for Fan Lihua practiced, in the middle of the bridge, Fan Lihua stood next to a row of military generals wearing armor, opposite her is Li Shimin, Li Shimin stood next to a row of civil and military ministers, between them, there was a row of long tables connected together, and there were many wine utensils full of wine on the table.

Li Shimin picked up the wine, the ministers also picked up the wine, Li Shimin looked at the tens of thousands of troops, and said with a smile: "General Fan is the first female general of my Tang Dynasty, I bid farewell to General Fan today, I am quite touched, this situation, I want to chant a poem, practice for General Fan, the title of the poem is called ...... "Farewell to the Bridge". ”

Fan Lihua held the wine in her hand and said, "Listen to the holy words." ”

Li Shimin said slowly: "On the bank of the Baqiao, the monarchs and ministers are Xiang, and a pear flower presses the begonia. Who is a woman without heroes, and she is still armed without red makeup! ”

This poem was specially asked by him to Li Hao, the purpose is to use it for today's occasion, the poem is not complicated, and the meaning is very simple, but it is very catchy, and it is also quite imposing, and the ministers immediately praised and applauded.

Fan Lihua was even happier and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving the poem to Fan Lihua." ”

Li Shimin said: "I wish you a successful start and return with triumph!" With that, he threw his head up and drank the wine.
