Chapter 0349. Lost a thousand miles, lifted the court...

In the early morning, the warm sunlight still shone into the Taiji Palace as usual, and in the morning mist, Li Shimin also got up early for a long time, and after breakfast, he did a little exercise, and went to the Zichen Palace. [This site has a new domain name. initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]

It's really not easy to be a Ming Jun, obviously the power is monstrous, but it is earlier than the rooster, Cong Nephrite is gentle and struggles out of the countryside, and it is still the same for decades, and ordinary people can't do this diligence.

However, Li Shimin himself has unspeakable suffering, especially since he read the first Liaodong war report.

Although the conquest of Goguryeo, but Liaodong is still in turmoil, the Liaodong capital in the territory of the thieves swarmed, only a few days after the peaceful birth of Li Tai since the Tang army evacuated to be completely hard, leading the army to fight all day long, small battles non-stop, a while ago Liaodong city administration changed hands for two days.

A large number of war reports are victorious and defeated, but no matter whether they win or lose, the end of Li Tai's twists and turns is nothing more than three wants, soldiers, money, and food.

In order to settle a few sons, the forces invested by the Tang Dynasty on the battlefield of Goguryeo have been overdrawn a lot, at this time the Chang'an court has to tighten its belt to live a hard life, where did Li Shimin go to find food for Li Tai, especially Li Shimin's largest private money, the cotton textile guild has recently become a pot of porridge in Li Zhi's hands, not only broke off the handover, but also had to post money in some places, and the heavenly khan, who had no money in hand, couldn't help but be angry when he looked at the money one by one.

"Tell the fourth child, let him solve it by himself, if he can't solve it, I will change it to solve it!" After reading the recital, Li Shimin directly threw a large bundle of emergency folds to the ground and scolded angrily, so panicked that several eunuchs and Xiao Huangmen crawled out of the door with Zhou Zhang.

The next Zhou Zhang was also not good, the Andong Protectorate accused the Juli Protectorate of the invasion, the Turkic Dao Li Simo wrote, Xue Yantuo's various departments moved, and the Western Regions Anxi Protectorate reported that the Western Turks launched an attack on Anxi, in short, it was also a few words, soldiers, food, and money.

After seeing so much, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel helpless, and sighed helplessly: "If Shengzhi is allowed to manage Liaodong, even if he is left in the Turkic Dao, where are there so many things?" ”

"Your Highness, the ginkgo biloba tea sent by Concubine Yang Niangniang."

Li Shimin was thinking about it, but the small yellow door outside the door suddenly came in, looking at the fragrant tea, Li Shimin couldn't help but shake his head helplessly and muttered: "I drove Lao Jiu to the border wilderness, and in the end I have to suffer from him." ”

What happened next was just some local floods and droughts, or trivial matters of material transportation, and after reading these slowly, Li Shimin stood up with a sad stomach, thinking about how the court would squeeze out some money, food and materials from other places to supply the northwest battlefield, and preparing to go to the court under the eunuch's waiting.

"Your Majesty, Fujian is urgent, eight hundred miles urgent!"

Suddenly, Li Shimin snatched the fold with his hand, and after looking at it for a while, he anxiously turned his back in a circle, and muttered with sweat: "How is this good?" Lao Jiu, Lao Jiu, you really don't let people stop. ”

In the court, there was silence, only the eunuch's suppressed thoughts.

“…… On the 19th, Nan'an County fell, the thieves killed Quanzhou to assassinate Chen Cheng, on the 22nd of the next month, Jianzhou Quanzhou fell, the people were killed and wounded, the floating corpses were thousands of miles, the government soldiers were defeated on the whole line, on the 23rd, Li Jie, the king of Fujian, was defeated and returned, the whole army lost its armor and ordnance, and the soldiers went to three or four out of ten, and the Jianzhou Assassin Shi Huda died in the city, and now Fujian is up and down, and the thieves are everywhere......"

Compared with the high-level documents in Liaodong that make people listen to the ears and callouse, the defeat of Fujian is really like pouring a basin of cold water on the heads of the ministers, and it is still cold to the heart, half a month, losing thousands of miles of land, almost throwing away the achievements of the Han people in opening up the frontier, even Sikong Fang Xuanling was dumbfounded.

It was cold for a minute, and the first to jump out was the superintendent of the imperial history Wang Hongda, the old man trembled and knelt on the ground, shouting loudly: "Your Majesty, the king of Min has collapsed, lost the people and lost the land, and he should be punished!" ”

This sentence immediately caused an uproar.

"Your Majesty, the law of the court cannot be abolished, and the king of Min has lost his land, so he should be punished, cut down, and recalled!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the law of the country cannot be abolished!"

A large group of ministers of the family, and even the Guanlong family, collectively opened fire on Li Jie, and the momentum was as if Li Jie had committed a heinous crime, and they were shouting that Li Jie was present and gnawed him directly.

Before they finished shouting, the crown prince Li Zhi immediately cried and snatched it out and knelt on the ground: "My father is above, although the ninth brother is at fault, but the ninth brother has only arrived in Fujian not long ago, and the name of the Fujian officials is Jiuer, the ninth brother can't control it, this big disaster, the ninth brother should not be guilty, and I hope that the father will forgive me!" ”

After all, he is the crown prince, and he has accumulated a lot of ****** during this time, a large number of red-robed ministers knelt on the ground, and the momentum was not much worse than that of the crusade against Li Jie, Wenchen himself bit into a ball, and the generals were not to be outdone, Cheng Zhijie was the first to boast about how to ask him to go, and then it was Xue Wanche and Li Daozong, who were not convinced, and for a time the court and the civil and military forces were in chaos.

However, things are always seen from both sides, those who help Li Jie speak are not necessarily well-intentioned, and those who crusade against him are not necessarily enemies, a large group of members of the Cotton Textile Guild who have been crusading against Li Jie for a long time, and now they have tasted the pain of not restricting internal friction, the Tang Dynasty Guanzhong is the standard, even if he is demoted to become the king of the county, it is a good thing to return to Chang'an, only Li Jie has enough prestige to suppress the entire guild.

On the contrary, until his capable brother was so angry with him, Li Zhi would rather the Cotton Textile Guild rot in his own hands than give him back to Li Jie, so naturally he didn't want him to come back.

The only problem, three piles of people started a circle, a satisfactory answer to Li Shimin's face became darker and darker, and finally, Li Shimin angrily slapped the table and roared: "Enough!" ”

Facing the suddenly silent ministers, Li Shimin jumped up without the image of an emperor, waved his sleeves and shouted: "I now want to know how to deal with it, not to hold anyone responsible?" Everything has to wait until the rebellion is put down! Now give me a charter and where to send reinforcements to Fujian! ”

Silence, death-like silence in the court, this time, everyone dared to say nonsense.

Unlike Li Tai, the king of Liao, who cried twice for three days, Li Jie is such a ruthless person even Wenchen is not clear, the bloody battle of the first battle in Huashan made him grit his teeth and survive, and now Fujian is in an emergency, it can only be said that it is endangered to a certain extent, otherwise the king of Fujian will not have much trouble.

However, Jiangnan is empty, a huge Tang Empire, and the heavy troops are basically not arranged in Guanzhong, or scattered on the huge border line of Wuyuan, Yunzhong Road, Liaodong, and even Anxi, because of historical reasons, both Jiangnan Province and Lingnan Road are extremely empty, and there is a reason why the empire is so arranged, after all, more than seventy percent of the residents of the Tang Dynasty all live in Beidi Guanzhong.

Even if in history, the Tang Dynasty did not have any outstanding performance in the south, and even the embarrassment of being beaten to Chengdu by the Southern Zhao, the Wuyuan Army of Li Jie, the King of Fujian, was the only time that the Zhenguan Dynasty sent troops to the south, and there were really not enough troops available nearby.

The eighth layer of the imperial court needs to transfer troops from the north, and whoever speaks may be sent to that wild borderland, who wants to go? Looking at each other, no one in the huge court hall spoke.

Seeing that Li Shimin's face was getting darker and darker, in the end, the eldest grandson Wuji gritted his teeth and stood out of the court, stood up with a wat board, bent down and arched his hand and played: "Your Majesty, the top priority now is to rescue southern Fujian, if Fujian is in chaos, Yangzhou has no danger to defend, and the barbarian rebels can even fight all the way to Jianye, shaking the entire southern border." ”

"However, Fujian is far away, recruiting troops to go, it is estimated that it will not be able to save it, not to mention that the king of Min is a good marshal, and then send a general, but it is possible to disperse the force, the old minister believes that when the king of Min has full power, and he has the right to recruit troops in the nearby state capital, so that with the talent of the king of Fujian, the strength of the army of the Fujian country, the rebellion can also be dragged in the territory of the Fujian country."

This is reasonable, the key is that you don't have to go by yourself, and suddenly a large group of ministers stood up, and many loyal ministers who had just denounced Li Jie were no exception, and Li Shimin couldn't help but bow his head and think about it.

The eldest grandson Wuji also ignored one point, recruiting troops needs to take money, if you let the King of Min recruit troops on his own, you don't need the court to take money, even if Li Jie turns people into private soldiers, he doesn't care, Fujian is too far away from Chang'an, and several major political changes are in Guanzhong, didn't you see that Emperor Yang of Sui didn't fight back with 200,000 Xiaoguo soldiers in Jianye? The threat is too small and too small.

Datang's political strategy and thinking dare to delegate power, this is a double-edged sword, on the one hand, it has created the vast territory of Datang, and on the other hand, it has also left behind the scourge of feudal towns, but at least now, this drawback has not been revealed, so after a moment of silence, Li Shimin still nodded.

"Zhongshu Province drafted an edict to appoint Li Jie, the king of Fujian, as the general manager of the march of Lingnan Road, and he could recruit troops on his own in the nearby state capital to quell the rebellion, and the imperial court gave him full power."

As soon as this happened, many ministers were relieved, some were confused, and some were lucky, but at this time, Changsun Wuji spoke again.

"Your Majesty, this is an aspect, on the other hand, the traitors are powerful, according to the last year Gaozhou Governor into the table, there are at least more than 100,000 barbarians in Fujian, more than 100,000 rebels I am afraid that the current strength of the King of Min is still invincible, or Guanzhong needs to organize reinforcements to go south, no more, about 3,000, few people can help the King of Min tide over the difficulties."

"The King of Min is brave and good at fighting, so there shouldn't be any reinforcements, right?" Guangluqing Wang Yan, who had a narrow road, turned around, and the eldest grandson Wuji immediately turned around with a sneer and asked, "If there is an accident in Fujian, Lord Wang is responsible?" ”

I couldn't afford to bear this responsibility, and I didn't dare to let go of a fart, so Wang Yan slipped back to the court. On the dragon seat, Li Shimin also nodded with satisfaction again, and asked loudly: "Who of your Qing family is willing to lead troops south?" ”

It was silent again, silent for a long time, and just when Li Shimin was about to get impatient, a loud voice strode out of the court: "Weichen is willing to go!" ”

Seeing Fang Yiai's serious and solemn appearance, the old Sikong Fang Xuanling almost fainted.......
