and the loyal ministers of Qianliya laughed like a flower. I can't bear it, and I ask the felt manager, do you like this poem too? "I wonder in my heart, how can a eunuch be interested in lovesickness? "No wonder Mr. Shi Da, when he is fine, he loves to stick a fake beard!"

Shi Zhongchen said repeatedly: "I like it." Our family loves this poem very much. If our family is not mistaken, this Wang Ping'an also wrote a "Suddenly I thought that the poem on the restaurant, the emperor had instructed that it should not be leaked, and few others in Beijing knew about it, and this news could not leak out of his mouth."

He changed his words and said, "Master Ma, how did you get this poem from Wang Ping'an, didn't you just say that you didn't recognize him?" ”

"I" subordinates really don't recognize him! Ma Qianli's old face turned red, like Shi Zhongchen, he also had secrets that he couldn't tell. He said: "Xia Guan didn't go out of his way to ask for it, because" is because" In a hurry, Ma Qianli really couldn't think of anything too good to say, and he didn't know that he could meet Shi Zhongchen, and he was asked this question.

Han also saw that his master was in trouble, so he hurriedly came up to play a round and said: If the villain returns to the general manager, the villain went to the Inspiration Temple to play today, and suddenly saw that the prince of the Wang family was treating the people, and he remembered a friend of the villain, he was selling the four treasures of the study, and the daughter of the family was suffering from lovesickness, so I asked my friend how to treat lovesickness, and Wang Gongzi wrote this poem to me, saying that it was a prescription, drinking red bean soup, and lovesickness can be cured! ”

Ah, there is such a miracle in the world, and lovesickness can be cured with red bean soup? The officials were in an uproar, lovesickness is a heart disease, and heart disease needs to be treated with medicine, not a foreign medicine that can be cured, which everyone knows, but Wang Ping'an actually said that red beans can cure lovesickness, but this is the first time I have heard of it!

Shi Zhongchen was also quite surprised, and said, "You are a family member of Lord Ma?" Well, tell me, how is this red bean soup a cure for lovesickness? ”

There are a lot of resentful women in the palace, all of whom revolve around the emperor alone, but where can the emperor take care of him alone, some concubines can't even see the emperor all year round, and they have all kinds of complaints, in Shi Zhongchen's opinion, this can be regarded as lovesickness. If red bean soup can solve lovesickness, then if this method is passed into the palace, wouldn't it be able to solve the suffering of countless concubines and lovesick emperors!

Han is just a nursery, he knows where to go in the palace, and when he is fortunate to be able to talk to a big man like Shi Zhongchen, he is excited, and he hurriedly said: "This red bean is cooked, it has to be made into scum" gasping for words, and he said Wang Ping'an's method one by one!

The officials were all stunned, and outside the Chengtianmen, an episode was quiet!

Han Ye even relayed it with a pass, and after finishing speaking, it was only then that everyone's expressions were wrong, and they were scared, thinking: "I can't say the wrong thing, is it possible that everyone has a daughter who suffers from lovesickness, and when I say this, they are touched, so that they start to think about going home to treat their daughter?" ”

Suddenly, with a bang, the officials laughed together, is there a mistake, if you step on the red beans into slag, you can cure lovesickness! Their laughter was so loud that even the soldiers guarding the palace walls were puzzled and looked down.

Shi Zhongchen also laughed, it seems that this method cannot be used for the concubines in the palace no matter what, imagine the emperor's face as a pile of scum, then it can be repaid, lovesickness can be cured, but where to put the emperor's face!

Shi Zhongchen shook his head, put the manuscript of the poem in his arms, and did not return it to Ma Qianli, waving his hand at the officials: "Today is a day of great joy, I should have met the emperor and thanked God." Unfortunately, the emperor and the two prime ministers have important state affairs to discuss, and I am afraid that I will not be able to spare time to summon them today. The emperor sent our family out to inform you, please go back to the yamen to deal with official business, when to meet the emperor again, and wait for another will! ”

The officials were disappointed in their hearts, but they didn't dare to complain, so they had to salute Shi Zhongchen, thank the chief manager for coming out to tell him personally, and went back to the yamen one after another.

Ma Qianli refused to leave here, the poem manuscript Shi Zhongchen hadn't returned it to him, he was still waiting to go home to comfort his daughter, hesitated, stepped forward, and said, "Chief Manager, what do you see the prescription?" "That means, it's useless if you want this, why don't you pay me back!

Shi Zhongchen smiled and said: "Master Ma, let's go back, do a good job for the emperor, and the future is immeasurable!" He laughed twice and went into the palace.

Ma Qianli has picked out the words for most of his life, how can he not understand the meaning of the four words of immeasurable future, if he dares to be wordy, what kind of poems do you want, be careful that the immeasurable becomes no light!

He wondered in his heart, although the poem was well written, what was the general manager of the poetry manuscript going to do, to dedicate it to the emperor? Oops, could it be that a certain princess in the palace also has lovesickness?

Not to mention that Ma Qianli was preoccupied and thinking nonsense outside the palace, but said that Shi Zhongchen entered the palace and came to the outside of the Ganlu Palace, looked inside, and saw that the emperor was still discussing with the two prime ministers, so he didn't dare to go in to disturb, so he waited outside the palace, planning that the prime ministers would leave, and he would go to report again.

Inside the temple.

Li Shimin couldn't hold back the irritability in his heart. Walking around the hall, the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Yi, Guo stood tall, and did not dare to sit on the embroidered dragon dun Bu anymore. Standing silently in his heart, Sun Wuji's age is not very large, but he is in his early fifties, while Fang Xuanling is much older, almost seventy years old, the appearance of the two is very different, and their style is not the same. The eldest grandson Wuji stood on the ground, his chest was up, and his eyes kept turning with Li Shimin's figure. But Fang Xuanling was not like this, his eyes were lowered, looking at the patterns on the carpet in front of him, as if he was thinking about something!

Li Shimin suddenly stopped, formed a palm with one hand, clenched a fist with the other, and said loudly: "I, Datang, must send troops, otherwise if we continue to make trouble like this, within three years, the Turks will go south again!" ”

Eldest Sun Wuji took a deep breath, swallowed it slowly, and said, "Your Majesty, it's easy to send troops, but it's hard to find a reason!" The Turks are fighting among themselves, and the tribes are scattered, but if the army of the Celestial Empire goes on an expedition, I am afraid that they will immediately form a group and jointly resist our army, so we must not worry! ”

Li Shimin hummed, he didn't know the meaning of the words "famous", but the problem was that he couldn't find a valid reason! He looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Fang Aiqing, what do you say?" ”

Fang Xuanling frowned, and said: "My Tang Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Heavenly Dynasty, if I attack the Tibetan family, I really need a standing reason, otherwise I am afraid that it will cause panic among other Tibetan families, and Goguryeo has not yet perished, if they take the opportunity to make a mess and the east and west start a war together, I am afraid that the consequences will be unpredictable!" ”

Li Shimin hummed again and walked back to the back of the case. Slowly sat down, tapped his fingers on the table, and said, "Reason, the hard thing is the reason!" ”

It turned out that the Turkic civil strife, which had always been a headache for Li Shimin, was now intensifying. The Turks are nomads on the steppe, and the nomads have a characteristic, that is, if they want them to stop externally, they have to keep them internal! Since the Xiongnu during the Warring States Period, history has proved this ironclad fact countless times with blood and fire!

Since the beginning of the former Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty has been constantly instigating the Turkic infighting, and the Tang Dynasty is the same, the policy has not changed, but has been implemented more thoroughly, and the Turks are indeed fighting endlessly, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, from this year to next year, there is no moment of peace!

But as the saying goes, heroes come out of troubled times! This proverb is really accurate, and it works well in any era and place. The Turks fought back and forth, and actually played an outstanding tribal leader, this leader kept annexing various small tribes, according to the Tang Dynasty's detailed report, this leader already has the strength to control 100,000 strings, which is enough to be compared with the Turkic Khan!

With such a great strength, the threat to the Tang Empire is really too great, and I can't watch that show anymore. Otherwise, according to the iron law of thousands of years, once the tribes on the grassland are unified and obey the command of one leader, the next order of that leader will not even have to think about it, it must be a large army going south and entering the Great Wall to plunder the Central Plains!

The years when this iron law was last proven. It's not far away, the former Sui was built after the destruction of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty was established by another former nomadic people, the Xianbei people, but it was a few decades ago!

Although the Xianbei people have completely become Han people, and the word Xianbei has become a historical term, the characteristics of the nomadic people, the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers don't want to know anymore, don't say that others, it is the current prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest grandson Wuji, but he has the surname of the Xianbei people!

The difficult period when the Tang Dynasty was founded has passed, and the national strength is getting stronger and stronger, but it has to recuperate for a period of time before it can carry out a large-scale war of extermination against the Turks.

The problem Li Shimin faced was that it was not impossible to send troops to expedition against the Turks, but if the situation expanded, and all the tribes on the grassland formed a group to unite with the outside world and resist the Tang army, then the consequences would be serious, and perhaps it would promote the unification of all the departments of the grassland and lead to a bigger war!

Now, the question that the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers are discussing is how to find a reasonable reason, which can not only kill the tribe that is becoming stronger today, but also not arouse the fear of other tribes, so that other tribes will not support, so the reason is very important.

Above the main hall, it was quiet for a long time. Fang Xuanling suddenly said: "The reason can be found, but it takes some time." We've got to send someone to the grasslands! ”

Fang Xuanling is the best at strategy, and his ideas are often very good!

Li Shimin was overjoyed and said: "There is still time to go, even if we send troops, we must prepare for a period of time, at least next year before we can officially go on duty."

Fang Xuanling stretched out his hand to hold his beard, stroked it gently, and said: "Borrow troops, let the Turks borrow troops from us, what is the reason, let the Turks find it themselves, we just need to send troops!" ”

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji were slightly stunned when they heard this, and suddenly the two of them showed joy together. The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Borrow soldiers!" Are you trying to find someone from a small Turkic tribe to complain, and then borrow troops from my Datang? ”

Li Shimin said: "Then you really have to go to the grassland to find this, ordinary people can't come to complain, you have to be a royal family!" ”
