Chapter 70 Hit it hard

When Fang Yiai returned to the outside of the Xuanzheng Palace, Su Dingfang and the others were still standing outside dryly waiting, Su Dingfang saw Fang Yiai come back and asked with a smile: "Brother Xian, how is it, the matter is settled?" ”

"Hehe, Brother Dingfang, I'm worried about a lot of work, I've already entrusted someone to do it, what's the matter, the result hasn't been discussed yet?"

"I guess so, otherwise we wouldn't have waited here!"

Su Dingfang shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression. Fang Yiai also feels very powerless, what are you going to discuss when things are like this, just discuss how to fight directly.

The atmosphere in the Xuanzheng Hall was a little depressing, at this time Li Shimin looked at the Wenchen generals below with a sullen face, Wei Zheng craned his neck and said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the ministers do not agree with the war with Tubo at this time, now that the treasury is empty, and the people's lives have just settled down, you really can't use swords and soldiers at this time!" ”

"Wei Xuancheng, what are you talking about, oh, listen to your bluntness, isn't it that my Datang has to swallow his anger?" As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, Cheng Yanjin jumped out, and only he dared to talk to Wei Zheng like this.

"Zhijie, what do you mean by this, when did I say that I swallowed my anger, this shows that the prestige of my Tang Dynasty is not the only way to send troops, is it different for us to send envoys to Tubo to ask stern questions, and you say it yourself, is it time to send troops? The Turkic war a few years ago has already exhausted the treasury, and now you want to fight, I ask you what to fight? Wei Zheng argued.

"Wei Xuancheng, don't say it so beautifully, don't you mean that you're afraid, can this trick work?" Cheng Yanjin turned his head with disdain, in his thoughts, if someone beats you, you have to fight back, if you don't fight back, is it still a man. And Cheng Biting Jin thinks that this kind of thing is useless, because Cheng Biting Jin often beats people, and the last thing he is afraid of after beating people is to be scolded, and he is not short of catties and meat after being scolded for two sentences.

"I'm too lazy to explain to you, Your Majesty, I'm still the same sentence, send troops at this time, I don't agree!" Wei Zheng was not afraid of Li Shimin's cold face, and said loudly with his neck stalked.

"The ministers seconded it!" With Wei Zheng taking the lead, half of the civil officials stood up.

When Li Shimin saw such a scene, his face trembled with anger, but he couldn't help but be angry, because he knew that these people's thoughts were not wrong, and the treasury was empty at this time, and he really couldn't talk about military affairs lightly. But Li Shimin is a person with a bottom line, some things can be endured, some things can't be tolerated no matter what, the Tubo people can still cover up when they grab things, this has plundered the entire Jiuping Town, how can this be endured, these are all the people of the Tang Dynasty, if you can't even protect your own people, what do you want to do as an emperor.

"Xuan Ling, what do you mean?" Li Shimin leaned on the edge of the chair with one hand and looked at Fang Xuanling, who was standing in front of him without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter does not need to be discussed, this battle must be fought, and it must also play the prestige of my Tang Dynasty!"

Fang Xuanling came out and saluted, with a solemn face. Listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin applauded and smiled: "Okay, Xuanling's words are very much in line with me, yes, this battle must be fought, and I must be beaten hard, I want to let the Tubo people know that my Tang Dynasty is not Tuguhun, how can it be his turn to spread the wilderness of the Tubo people?" ”

"Xuan Ling, why are you so confused, don't you know the current situation of the treasury?" When Wei Zheng saw that his old friend actually supported the dispatch of troops, his face showed an anxious look.

"Xuancheng, you have to know that the gentleman has something to do and something not to do, yes, we are now empty in the treasury, but have you ever thought about the people of Jiuping Town, their whole family was looted away, what will be the end, it will be a lifelong slave, and even a lifetime will never return to Datang. Therefore, as the imperial court, we must make decisions for them, otherwise how will the people of the world view us, even if we don't care about the eyes of the people of the world, can we pass this level? Thinking about the people of Jiuping Town who were robbed, how can we be at ease? ”

Fang Xuanling shook his long sleeves, facing the ministers in the palace, expressing the indignation in his heart, and after listening to Fang Xuanling's words, everyone lowered their heads. Fang Xuanling's words were too sharp, and they were directly inserted into everyone's hearts like a knife, yes, if you ignore the people of Jiuping Town, how can you be at peace in your heart.

"Your Majesty, if the minister agrees with Xuan Ling, my Datang must send troops, even if it is to smash the pot and sell iron, we must let the Tubo people see the prestige of my Datang!" Du Ruhui was the first to stand up, and Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui have always been the best pairs, one makes suggestions and the other makes decisions. The two prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty agreed to send troops, and the others knew the final result.

Wei Zheng stood a little stunned and didn't say anything, he was still thinking about Fang Xuanling's words, this time he was really wrong, just thinking about the treasury, but he didn't think about the people of Jiuping Town, compared to the hearts of the people in the world, what is the little money in the treasury. Since ancient times, it has been those who win the hearts of the people who win the world, and what is the use of guarding the shriveled treasury if they lose the hearts of the people.

"Xuan Ling, listen to you, it's better to read for ten years, Wei Zheng thank you for your advice!" Wei Zheng is a person who can afford to let go, and since he understands his mistakes, he dares to admit them. Fang Xuanling smiled at Wei Zheng and nodded, but he felt very bad in his heart, this Wei Xuancheng is still so pedantic, what are you doing at this time, is he Fang Xuanling the kind of person who cares.

"Okay, since everyone has no other opinions, then it has been decided, and now all the officials of the various ministries have gone back to raise the matter of sending troops, and the specific duties will be notified at that time. Now that the dynasty is scattered, Xuan Ling, Keming, Mao Gong, Xuan Cheng, Auxiliary Machine, and Shubao are left! Li Shimin saw that the tone had been set, so he gave full play to his vigorous and resolute style of doing things, and now he only needs to discuss how to fight this battle, and there is no need for so many people to stay here.

When the generals walked out of the Xuanzheng Palace, Fang Yiai and the others were tiptoeing and watching, watching the ministers walk out one after another, Fang Yiai wondered: "Brother Dingfang, what's going on, why did it disperse so quickly?" ”

"I don't know, I don't think it's going to be so fast!" Su Dingfang has to figure out the situation, this kind of thing has happened before, take the Turkic war as an example, it took two days to discuss it before it was decided, why hasn't it arrived at noon now, why did it disperse.

After seeing an acquaintance among the ministers, Fang Yiai ran over quickly, "Sir, the student is polite!" ”

"Oh, it's Fang Jun, what's the matter, do you know about Tubo?" After Kong Yingda saw that it was his student who was blocking the way, he said kindly.

"Sir, yes, I also knew about this just now, I want to ask, wasn't the hall discussing just now, why did it disperse so quickly?"

"Fang Jun, I think you want to ask what the result of the discussion is, right?" Kong Yingda stroked his beard and asked with a smile.

"May the gentleman teach!"

"It's not a big deal, this battle is definitely going to be fought, these Tibetan jackals don't teach them a lesson, how can they show my Tang Dynasty majesty!"

Looking at Kong Yingda with an angry face, Fang Yiai felt that the sun was coming out of the west today, and when did this old master become so domineering.

"Why, Fang Jun, do you think Mr. is that kind of pedantic person, tell you, the old man was also the one who held a knife back then!"

Kong Yingda looked at Fang Yiai's eyes, and knew what this guy was thinking, so he lit up his right hand very unconvinced. Fang Yiai saw the second situation, and sweated in his head, this Kong Yingda doesn't look like a person who practices martial arts, he still holds a knife, and it's almost the same as holding a pen, but Fang Yiai doesn't dare to say this, and it is estimated that Kong Yingda will be ashamed and angry.

After inquiring about the news, Fang Yiai quickly ran back to his position, and Su Dingfang and others came over and couldn't wait to ask, "What is the result?" ”

"You can rest assured, we have decided to fight, but I guess we have to discuss how to fight, I think we should continue to wait, if there is something, Your Majesty will definitely let someone call us!"

Fang Yiai closed his mouth after explaining, this official is just unhappy, others are in the hall, but his own group of people have to stand outside to blow the cold wind.
