"Thousands of miles away to join the army, the mountains are like flying. The fresh air spreads to the golden watch, and the cold light shines on the iron clothes. The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years!"
In the Imperial Palace, in the Tai Chi Hall.
Li Shimin held a thin piece of paper and gently read the poem on the paper.
Empress Changsun walked out of the back hall. When she heard the poem from Li Shimin's mouth, she came forward with a smile and said: "Good poem, Erlang, when did you compose this poem?"
"Do you think I wrote this poem?" When Li Shimin saw that his eldest grandson had arrived, he put down the paper and asked with a wry smile.
"You didn't do it?" Changsun frowned slightly and asked softly: "Then who else can write such poems with battlefield momentum? Cheng Yaojin?"
"Ahem... Maid Guanyin, you think too highly of Cheng Yaojin. If you want him to write this kind of poetry, I don't think we can fight for five hundred years. I guess there is no hope!"
"...Who wrote that? There are not many famous poets in the Tang Dynasty, and even fewer can write such majestic military poems. Could it be Li Jing?"
"Li Jing? I just went to see him with your brother. The imperial doctor said that he was depressed. This time he was injured while protecting Hong Fu Nu in the fight. He probably didn't have the heart to write poetry."
Suddenly thinking of Li Jing whom he had seen this morning, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.
He has no intention of killing the hero, and he is not afraid of his great achievements shocking the master! The reason why he indulged Hou Junji and others before was just for the sake of the entire Tang Dynasty.
After all, such a large empire cannot rely solely on some veterans forever! Only when new people continue to rise can his world be long-term and stable.
It's a pity that this is what he thinks, but how many people really understand him? Especially in Li Jing's house, after hearing the words "depressed heart", Li Shimin was so angry that he felt deeply helpless.
feel.
You can’t have your cake and eat it too!
He wants the Tang Dynasty to be passed down for generations! He must give up some of his own emotions, and among them, the ones who are injured are not just the veterans who follow him to conquer the world?
"Do you think this was written by Xiao Han?" Finally, Changsun gave the third answer.
In fact, from the beginning, she had vaguely guessed the origin of this poem. The reason why she deliberately mentioned Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing was just because she was afraid that her husband would be angry and punish Xiao Han indiscriminately!
Now that she saw that her husband's mood was relatively stable, she dared to open up the topic bit by bit.
"Xiao Han?" Sure enough, Li Shimin did not deny it anymore, but gave a wry smile, slowly closed his eyes and said: "The one who can write this poem, in the words of Mr. Yan Zhitui, in the whole world, there are only
He has! Others, including Chu Suiliang and Kong Yingda, are far behind!"
"Did he write this poem?" Changsun's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked: "Then what happened to the Marquis of Xiangcheng this time is also..."
"He didn't do this!"
"Um?"
Originally, Changsun was prepared to hear bad news, but he was suddenly denied by Li Shimin, and he was stunned on the spot.
Luohoujun gathers face!
Stand up for Li Jing!
Incite a riot!
More importantly, the victim of the riot was his old enemy, the Marquis of Xiangcheng!
Putting these things together, even the eldest grandson, who is quite protective of Xiao Han, is about to believe that the mastermind behind this time is Xiao Han!
But how could the husband insist that it was not him?
"The problem lies in this poem."
Seeing the shocked and puzzled look on Changsun's face, Li Shimin smiled and explained: "If it were Xiao Han, he wouldn't provoke the people in the Ministry of War with a poem and just yell. For those people in the Ministry of War, he would definitely compare with any poem.
All easy to use!
As for this poem, it should have been written by Xiao Han, and most likely, it was written when he went to Turks. However, those Qiu Ba did not understand the poetry, and after applauding it, they forgot about it. Only one person wrote it down.
, used it at this time, but it was self-defeating and exposed himself!"
"What Erlang means is that someone wants to provoke you secretly? And this person is probably from the Ministry of War? Who is this person!" How smart is the eldest grandson? Li Shimin just made a little effort, and she had already guessed the whole thing.
Jiu was inseparable, and his tone became excited.
Yes, everyone now thinks that this is a crazy counterattack launched by Xiao Han after he was banned and seized power! But a few people have thought that even if this counterattack is successful, will Xiao Han go back to before? Without Hou
Jun Ji, there won’t be another Ma Jun Ji or Niu Jun Ji?
"Who is this person? You can roughly find out who was present when Xiao Han wrote the poem later." Li Shimin's eyes were bright and he sneered: "But now it seems that the Ministry of War is still not stable! Look.
Lai Xiao Han is right, the Ministry of War needs to be reformed!"
"Reform the Ministry of War? How to reform it?" Changsun did not expect that her husband would suddenly mention this again, and subconsciously asked.
"Separation of power, separation of weapons, separation of soldiers and generals!" Li Shimin stood up slowly, eyes flashing, and read out these three strategies word by word!
In fact, Xiao Han had mentioned these three strategies to him a long time ago! But at that time, powerful enemies were surrounding him, so he did not dare and could not implement them rashly!
Now that the big worry of Turks has been eliminated, and coupled with the specific implementation plan presented by Xiao Han yesterday, it seems that it is time for him to start these three things.
"Take advantage of this riot in the Ministry of War to isolate the firearms workshop first! Xiao Han is right, bows and arrows are safest only when they are not in the hands of one person!"
In the empty hall, Li Shimin took a deep breath and said to himself word by word!
No one knew that Xiao Han had quietly asked someone to bring him a secret letter last night.
Compared with this secret letter, those actions of uniting various roadside generals to ask for firearms are nothing more than a cover-up used to confuse others.
Of course, these deceptions can also be the reason for him to isolate the firearms workshop! Thus blocking the mouths of some people.
Compared with this thoughtful and practical strategy, instigating a riot in the Ministry of War is as clumsy as a three-year-old child fighting in the street! It is unsightly!
"Pass on my order! The Marquis of Xiangcheng is rampaging wantonly, killing meritorious officials, depriving him of his title, demoting him to a commoner, and sending him to Shuofang. He will not be pardoned in any case!"
Hou Junji, who was the Minister of the Ministry of War, was not strict with his subordinates, which led to a riot. Nian Qi rushed to the scene as soon as possible to control his men, and took the initiative to plead guilty. He was dismissed from the position of Minister of the Ministry of War and replaced by a temporary deputy!
Li Mengchang, Zhang Baoxiang and others acted recklessly and openly armed themselves with sharp weapons to break into the prince's mansion to do miscellaneous work. They were fined one year's salary, deprived of a first-level title, and banned for one month!"
When the eunuch delivered the emperor's decree to the outside of the palace, he knelt on the ground. Hou Junji, who had been begging for forgiveness for a long time, was so shaken that he almost couldn't hold it back and spat out a mouthful of blood!
He doesn't care about his punishment. After all, there is no difference between the temporary Minister of War and the actual Minister of War except for the name!
He is just angry!
Angry, all the officials from the Ministry of War who were arrested by him were punished, but there was no news that Xiao Han, the culprit, was punished!
