Chapter 1179 - The Prime Minister of Daily Use is Dismissed
"I ......"
Hearing the news, Li Longji spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
Anyway, the purpose of the Turks is to sell wool, and the two sides are fighting for face, which is not an irreconcilable contradiction.
But Tubo is different, and the two sides are fighting for the land of Longxi. Chang'an is not far from Longxi, and the imperial court can't retreat at all!
And the most important thing is that he is really not sure whether he can win the battle against Tibet!
During the Taizong period, all the famous generals in the court, including Li Jing and Xue Rengui, fought against Tubo, but it was a mixed game. In the early stage of the Celestial Empire, the imperial court won fewer victories and lost more.
Later, the Tang Dynasty was lucky, Tubo Zanpu Chidu Songtsan destroyed the Great Wall, killed the famous general on the Qinling, and Chidu Songtsan himself died of illness when he conquered the land of the Six Edicts. So much so that the Empress Dowager of Tubo, Chima, and the Che Rider Chi Zhalu fought for power, and there was no time to attack outside, and the Tang Dynasty gained the upper hand. But no matter what, Tubo's strength is still there, and if it really starts, Datang can't take much advantage.
What is good is that the original responsible for resisting Tubo were the famous Tang generals Guo Yuanzhen and Tang Xiu. Now that Tang Xiu is dead, Guo Yuanzhen has reversed, and the 10,000 Anxi army who is familiar with the terrain and has rich experience in dealing with the Tubo people has thrown himself into Lingnan Dao, what does he rely on to resist the 400,000 army of Tubo?
After thinking about it, Li Longji didn't have any countermeasures, so he had to say: "Quick, go and announce the prime minister's affairs." ”
Compliance".
Half an hour later, the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty gathered in the Ganlu Palace.
After the congenital coup, Cui Geng and Guo Yuanzhen reversed, and the prime ministers Xiao Zhizhong and Cen Xi, who had originally defected to Princess Taiping, were beheaded by Li Longji. Only Yao Chong, Song, Cui, Zhang Shuo, and Lu Xiangxian continued to be prime ministers.
Lu Xiang was Li Dan's person first, and the reason why Li Longji kept him was mainly because he played the role of a thousand dollars to buy horses and bones after the killing. Otherwise, it turns out that most of the officials in the DPRK and China are loyal to Li Dan instead of Li Longji, and he can belittle everyone?
The new ones who are added as ministers are Liu Youqiu, Cui Riyong, and Zhang Renyuan.
At the beginning, the case of Liu Youqiu and Zhang Mou was originally a play performed by Li Longji and Li Dan father and son in order to paralyze Cui Geng. Now that Li Longji is the emperor, Liu Youqiu is naturally restored.
Cui Riyong and Cui Geng had meritorious negotiations and were reinstated.
Zhang Renyuan collected the soldiers of the Southern Yafu for Li Longji, and it was natural for him to be prime minister at this time.
Therefore, today's prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty are: Yao Chong, Song, Liu Youqiu, Cui Riyong, Zhang Shuo, Lu Xiangxian, and Zhang Renyuan and Cui.
……
……
Li Longji ordered the little eunuch to pass the recital of the Anxi Protectorate in everyone's hands, and then said: "The deputy capital of Anxi is ready to play, and the Empress Dowager Chima of Tubo designed to kill the chariot commander Chi Zha Lugong, and punished more than 3,000 henchmen of Chi Zha Lugong. Now that Tibet is reunified, the great minister Wei Qili Xu Shang and the general Bopen Dayan have a total of 400,000 generals and soldiers to attack Lan and Wei Prefectures. ”
Yao Chong groaned: "It's nothing more than soldiers coming to block the water and cover the earth." Now that Guo Yuanzhen is gone, why don't you ask Zhang Xiang to protect the capital of Anxi and resist Tibet? ”
Of course Zhang Renyuan is not happy, how good it is to be the prime minister in Chang'an, with a high position and various enjoyments, it is not much better than going to Longxi to eat sand?
Of course, despite thinking so, Zhang Renyuan was impassioned and said: "Weichen is willing to serve His Majesty and resist Tibet." As long as the soldiers are paid, if they can't win, Weichen is willing to come to see him. ”
Li Longji said happily: "Okay, Zhang Xiang is really loyal to the country, then I will appoint you as ......"
"Your Majesty, wait!"
Seeing that Li Longji didn't understand what he meant, Zhang Renyuan hurriedly made it clear and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to make it clear, how much grain can the household department raise for this big war?" Weichen is also good to dispatch troops based on these money and food. ”
Li Longji looked at Cui Riyong and said, "Cui Aiqing, you are also the secretary of the household department, give Zhang Xiang an accurate number." ”
"The household department can only produce two million."
"So little?" Although he had been mentally prepared before, Zhang Renyuan still exclaimed.
Cui Ri spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty will send hundreds of thousands of troops to the surrendered city to teach the new Turkic Khan Que special service." How much does this man get a day for eating horses? Moreover, who knows when Xerner will have a decisive battle with the Turks? The household department did not prepare enough money and food, the food and salary were not enough, and General Xue lost the battle, whose responsibility is it? ”
Li Longji said anxiously: "But Longyou can't ignore it, right?" ”
Cui Riyong said: "Weichen can take out another million at most, and there is really no more." ”
"What are you doing with three million yuan?" Zhang Renyuan can be regarded as reasonable, and said: "It is difficult for a Qiao woman to cook without rice, if there is only three million yuan, Weichen is not sure to fight against the 400,000 army of Tubo." ”
Li Longji gritted his teeth and said, "I gave three million guan to Zhang Aiqing in the inner library, a total of six million guan?" ”
Zhang Renyuan said categorically: "That's too little." ”
"You ......"
Li Longji really wanted a teacup to paste on Zhang Renyuan's face.
He held back his anger and looked at the other prime ministers and said, "What do the other Aiqing mean?" ”
"......" Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't squeak.
Li Longji was really anxious, and said unhappily: "I don't understand, Zhongzong Chaowei is chaotic, and the court is in a miasma. During the reign of his father, the Taiping exercised power, and of course the authority of the court did not exist. Despite this, neither the Turks nor the Tibetans dared to offend my Tang Tianwei. Why did I succeed to the throne as the emperor, and my Tang Dynasty was attacked on both sides? Is it my lack of virtue...... Or are the prime ministers incompetent? ”
The tone of these words is quite heavy, the emperor is always right, of course, it is the corpse of the prime ministers!
Others are okay, they are all old fritters in the officialdom, and they are perfect in their own skills.
But Cui Riyong is different, he has been arrogant since he was a child, and he can't stand it. Even when he was promoted through the path of Zong Chuke, Zong Chuke was polite to him.
What's more, he doesn't think Li Longji is so wise and martial.
Before Tang Long's coup, Cui Riyong felt that Empress Wei really couldn't get on the wall, so he turned to Li Longji, who was not so bad, and he was not less in awe of him at all. Even, deep down in his heart, he has the meaning of calling himself a Li Longjien person.
Immediately, Cui Ri said with a strange yin and yang atmosphere: "Of course, Weichen and others are over the corpse vegetarian meal." During the reign of Emperor Zhongzong and Emperor Taishang, this kind of "difficult for a good woman to cook without rice" was solved by Cui Geng, the king of Lingnan, and Weichen and others were just assisting on the side. ”
Okay, this is clearly referring to the corpses of the ministers, but in fact, the pot is still on Li Longji's body.
If you are virtuous enough, let Cui Geng assist. Does that take our hard work?
"You ......" Li Longji's face flushed with anger.
Cui hurriedly reminded: "Brother Daily, please be cautious!" ”
"Caution?" Cui Ri raised his eyebrows and said, "What?" Isn't it right? Actually, I'm going to take it lightly. If Cui Geng is here, then the Que special service eats the bear's heart and swallows the leopard's gall, and dares to kill the Russian special service? Can Chima ignore Cui Geng and suddenly turn his face with Zha Lugong? What's wrong with me saying that we have a vegetarian meal? ”
"Good, good, good!" Li Longji laughed angrily and said, "Since you know that you are a corpse vegetarian, abdicate and make way for Xian!" Spread my will: Cui Ri was proud of his merits, and he was degraded to the history of Changzhou Thorn, admiring this. ”
"Huh? Strike? ”
Cui Riyong just wanted to complain before, but he never expected that Li Longji would be so ruthless.
He was stunned for a moment, then knelt on the ground, his neck stalked, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" Cui Geng has long said that Weichen has a high temperament, and this slaughter will not be able to take a few days, and he is really like a god. ”
In fact, what Cui Geng said before was that Cui Riyong had a high temperament, and he would definitely fall for Zhang Shuo and Yao Chong's plan and be demoted. But anyway, now that he has been dismissed, Cui Riyong simply said happily.
Then, he kowtowed three times and said: "Today is the prime minister's deliberation, and Wechen, the history of Changzhou Thorn, will not be mixed, and Wechen will retire!" ”
Li Longji said in a cold tone: "Go ahead." ”
Cui Riyong got up and walked out of the Manna Palace, and the atmosphere in the hall became more and more condensed.
At this point, both parties are responsible. Cui Riyong is too arrogant, and Li Longji is chaotic.
In the history without the appearance of Cui Geng, when Li Longji first ascended the throne, the situation of the Tang Dynasty was much worse than now. But so what, choose loyal ministers and good generals, and slowly get back on the field? The country's situation is getting better day by day, and Li Longji is also calm, and he is a standard saint king.
But now, after Li Longji ascended the throne, unlucky things came one by one, and they were unsatisfactory everywhere, as if the Tang Dynasty couldn't play without Cui Geng, which really made him extremely angry. Now that this embarrassing fact has been picked out by Cui Riyong, he will inevitably be angry and act in a hurry.
After Cui Riyong, Li Longji was a little angry in his heart.
He looked around and said, "How to deal with Tibet, we must discuss a result today." I don't believe it, without Zhang Butcher, my Tang Dynasty court will have to eat pigs with hair? ”
Cui rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a plan, which can not only solve the crisis in Longxi, but also ...... can give Cui Geng a big ugly! ”
Li Longji's eyes lit up and said, "Okay! The critical festival is present, Bandang knows loyalty, this is my true prime minister! But I don't know...... Will the plan be settled? ”
