Chapter 74: I Need Someone
The Xuanzheng Hall was brightly lit, and Li Shimin crossed his hands and made up his mind, "So it was decided, the soldiers were divided into two routes, one was led by Mao Gong, and the troops entered Songzhou; One route was led by Hou Junji, crossed the desert and directly attacked Tuyuhun and took Doma City! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eldest grandson Wuji and the others got up and arched their hands.
"Your Majesty, does the minister have a request?" Li Ji arched his hand and smiled.
"Oh? Mao Gong, you rarely ask for it, say, what kind of request? ”
Li Shimin glanced at Li Ji and asked thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty, the minister requests that Fang Jun be transferred to Zuo Wei!"
After listening to Li Ji's request, Li Shimin frowned, Li Ji's meaning was very clear to him, this was to let Fang Yiai go out with the army. From the bottom of his heart, Li Shimin was a little reluctant to let Fang Yiai go out at this time, you must know that the Tubo soldiers are strong and strong, and they are not much weaker than the Turks back then. If there is any accident on the battlefield, Li Shimin really doesn't know how to deal with Fang Xuanling, and Fang Yiai is only sixteen years old this year, although he has the ability to command the army, and he is even more courageous, but he is too young after all. According to Empress Changsun's thoughts, Fang Yiai was unwilling to let him go on the expedition before he got married, Li Shimin felt that he was very embarrassed, so he had to look at Li Ji and frown and said, "Duke Mao, is it a little too early to let him go on the expedition with the army at this time?" ”
"Your Majesty, please forgive the minister, the young eagle can only spread its wings and soar after going through tribulations!" Li Ji said with a straight face.
"Yes, Your Majesty, what Gong Mao said is very true, although Fang Jun is talented, but only after the real test of war, can he grow up faster!" The eldest grandson Wuji lowered his eyebrows and persuaded softly.
"Xuan Ling, you decide!" Li Shimin didn't want to say anything, it was really difficult for him to decide on this matter, because the eldest grandson queen was so good about this Fang Yi, since this was the case, let Fang Xuanling, the father, decide for himself.
Although Fang Xuanling is reluctant, this is his own son, and the crown ceremony has not even been held yet, let alone getting married, if there is any accident on the battlefield, then his son will not have anything left. Fang Xuanling endured the heartache and said loudly without hesitation: "Your Majesty, for my Tang Dynasty, the minister has no complaints!" ”
"Okay, Xuan Ling, since you have no opinion, then let's settle it like this, tomorrow I will issue an order to temporarily transfer Fang Jun to the command of Duke Mao, you go back and have a good chat with Fang Jun!" Li Shimin waved his hand a little heavily, to be honest, he really didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do this, Fang Yiai had made so much money for the treasury over the years, but he, the emperor, had pushed him to the battlefield so early.
After the discussion, Fang Xuanling led Fang Yiai, who was waiting outside the palace, to leave the Taiji Palace, and Li Shimin also went to the Baifu Palace with a lot of concerns.
"Guanyinwen, are you right or wrong that I let Fang Jun go with the army?" Li Shimin lay on the couch and hugged Empress Changsun, frowned and asked in a low voice.
"What? Your Majesty, do you mean to let Jun'er accompany the army to fight in Tibet? Empress Changsun sat up from the bed in surprise, and she didn't understand how Li Shimin could have such a decision.
"Yes, Guanyin, tonight, Mao Gong asked me to transfer Fang Jun by name" Li Shimin nodded with a wry smile.
"Your Majesty, it is said that I shouldn't say anything about this kind of thing, but have you thought about it, how old Jun'er is this year, he hasn't even held the crown ceremony yet, if something happens to him, how can you make me worthy of him" Empress Changsun felt that she owed Fang Yi's love too much, and it was he who saved her life with strange oxygen two years ago, but before she could say anything, in the blink of an eye, this young man was about to go out with the army.
"Hey, do you think I want to, I also want to wait for Fang Jun to get married before letting him out, but the auxiliary machine and Xuan Ling both nodded in agreement, what else can I say?" Li Shimin also has his own helplessness, the two ministers of the dynasty did not object, what reason did he have to oppose it as emperor.
"Xuan Linggong and my brother have agreed?" Empress Changsun seemed to remember something, and suddenly felt a little lost in her heart, brother, why are you suffering, how old is Fang Juncai, you are in a hurry to ask for his life, do you hate Xuan Ling Gong so much?
Li Shimin saw that Empress Changsun was sitting without saying a word for a long time, so he asked with concern: "Guanyin, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable again?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's nothing, I just remembered a little thing, Fang Jun's matter can't be changed?" Empress Eldest Sun smiled lightly, of course she would not tell Li Shimin what she really thought in her heart, if she did this, wouldn't the eldest grandson be doomed.
Fang Yiai followed Fang Xuanling on a horse, he didn't know why when he came back, Fang Xuanling always looked preoccupied, maybe he was worried about the expedition to Tibet.
When he came to the study, Fang Yiai understood why Fang Xuanling was so heavy, Fang Xuanling turned his back to Fang Yiai and said in a trembling voice: "Jun'er, do you know, Your Majesty has already issued an edict to let you go to Songzhou with Wei Wei left and right!" ”
This sentence was like a thunderstorm in the ears of Fang Yiai, fighting on the battlefield, wasn't it exactly what he longed for, but when things became a reality, he found that everything was so sudden, and there was no trace of joy in his heart, he didn't know how to explain to Lu, can he accept this reality?
"Okay, Jun'er, go and meet your mother, just tell the truth, your mother will support you!" Fang Xuanling patted Fang Yiai's shoulder, and sat at the desk and thought quietly, he was worried about his son, and he was also thinking about the army's expedition, from grain and grass to frame weapons, there were too many things to do.
"Well, I'm going to see my mother, but, child" Fang Yiai was just about to continue, but Fang Xuanling interrupted him, "Jun'er, don't say it, go ahead, for your father to understand what you want to say." Since you are eager to fight on the battlefield, you should fight for fame and come back! ”
"Yes, Father!" Fang Yiai can hear the tremor in Fang Xuanling's tone, maybe father's love is always deep, always so thick but unspeakable.
The candle flame in the room was flickering, Fang Xuanling pushed open the door and saw Lu Shi sitting at the table talking happily, and Linglong from his own courtyard was sitting next to him, of course, Qianqian was also here, Linglong took Qianqian back to the house, and always let Lu Shi take a look.
"Jun'er, you're back, what's wrong today, you didn't enter the door before, and your mother could hear your voice, why is it so quiet today?" Lu Shi looked at Fang Yiai's slightly dark face, and she didn't know why, she felt as if today's son was all over the place.
"Linglong, you take Qianqian back first, I'll talk to my mother about something!" Fang Yiai smiled lightly, he believed that Linglong could understand him.
When Linglong saw Fang Yiai's serious face, she knew that something had happened, otherwise Fang Yiai would not be so solemn, "Second Young Master, then let's go back first!" ”
Qianqian originally wanted to say a word to Fang Yiai, but was pulled away by Linglong.
"Jun'er, let's say, the two girls have left, is there something big happening, don't worry, my mother can still stand it!" Lu Shi motioned for Fang Yiai to sit next to him, but he shook his head.
"Mother, the child doesn't want to lie to you, Your Majesty just issued an order tonight, let me go to Tibet with the left and right Weiwei!" Fang Yiai gritted her teeth and whispered.
"What, to go to Tibet?" Lu Shi was startled and stood up from his seat suddenly, but as soon as he stood up, he was dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
"Mother, are you alright, don't scare the child!" Fang Yiai quickly supported the Lu family, although he knew that the Lu family would not be able to accept it, but he didn't expect that this matter would cause such a big blow to the Lu family.
Lu Shi didn't answer Fang Yiai, just lay in the crook of Fang Yiai's arm and gently stroked Fang Yiai's resolute face, his eyes were red, and he said tremblingly: "Jun'er, you have really grown up, and you are no longer the little monkey under your father's wooden stick, but is it too early to go on the expedition now, doesn't Your Majesty know, you haven't even held the crown ceremony yet?" Lu Shi doesn't seem to be talking to Fang Yiai, more like talking to herself, maybe only she can know how reluctant she is in her heart, all along, Lu Shi has always felt that Fang Yiai is still that naughty little monkey, but now he is a little smarter, but suddenly he found that his son has really grown up and can go to the battlefield.
"Mother, don't do this, the child promises you that he will come back to see you safely!" Fang Yiai really couldn't see Lu like this, he felt as if he really owed too much to his mother, and his mother always hoped that he could get married as soon as possible, but he chose to ignore it, thinking that he was really unfilial. Now, he has brought such news to his mother.
"Jun'er, you don't have to comfort me, you should be a three-year-old child, this sword has no eyes, who can guarantee absolute safety! Let go of being a mother, I can still stand it! Lu Shi struggled to stand up from the crook of Fang Yiai's arm, looked at Fang Yiai's eyes, Lu Shi touched the tears in the corners of his eyes and said with a smile, "Jun'er, since Your Majesty has made a decision, then prepare well, Mother doesn't ask you to get much fame, just ask you to think about being a mother and thinking about this family whenever you fight!" ”
"Mother, I, the child promises you!" Fang Yiai feels that the Lu family is really great, everyone knows the strength of the Lu family, but who knows the strength of the Lu family.
"Jun'er, go, clean up well, Ming said to walk out of the house with his head held high, let everyone in Chang'an City know that there is also a general in our house!"
After Lu Shi finished speaking, he turned around, although he was smiling, tears were already hanging on his face. Fang Yiai knew that there was no need to say anything at this time, no matter how much he said, it was useless, and only returning safely was the greatest comfort to the Lu family.
Fang Yiai exited the room and walked into the darkness of the night, the name of the battlefield has been famous since ancient times, the general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years, for the sake of the house, for the Tang Dynasty, when he held a three-foot Qingfeng, he fought a hundred miles of yellow sand!
