Chapter 1,431 Admit your mistake

Li Feng said: "Isn't it a slap in the face to oppose my father-in-law so quickly? I won't go."

Fang Xuanling said angrily: "Who told you that you were against His Majesty? I asked you to plead guilty and bear all the responsibilities."

"This is inappropriate," Li Feng said.

Fang Xuanling said solemnly: "Only if you take responsibility, this matter will become a big deal and a trivial matter. If Wei Zheng finds out tomorrow morning, this matter will not be so simple."

Li Feng thought about it and realized that it was really like this. Once Wei Zheng got angry, it would be better for Li Er to admit his mistake. If he didn't admit his mistake, Wei Zheng would teach Li Er a lesson, and in the end he might let Li Er write a self-incriminating edict.

In this way, small things really become big things.

Thinking of this, Li Feng stood up quickly and quickly walked to the area where Li Er was. The sixth floor was now divided into several areas.

Li Er and his close officials are in one area, and a group of powerful countries such as Gao Jianwu are in one area.

There are also idle officials and remaining national kings for a region.

Li Feng came directly to Li Er, raised his hands and said, "Father-in-law, my son-in-law deserves to die."

Everyone was a little confused by Li Feng's behavior.

Changsun Wuji sneered: "What great thing has the consort done to actually say this?"

Li Feng immediately became ashamed and said: "The Minister of the Ministry of Industry just came to me and said that within three years we will build the three railways from Chang'an to Shuofang, to Yangzhou, and then from Yangzhou to Lingnan.

This really shocked me. If we really want to complete such a major task within three years, we will need to use at least one million civilians.

Such a large investment is equivalent to Yang Guang's investment in the Grand Canal, and the consequences are quite serious. Therefore, I propose to cancel the construction of three railways in three years and replace it with the construction of one railway, building the railway from Chang'an to Shuofang.

Then we will build a railway from Chang'an to Liaodong. As for the railway between Yangzhou and Chang'an, we can build it slowly and not in a hurry."

Everyone was shocked by Li Er's words, because the two railways dealt with Tubo and Goguryeo respectively. They believed that as soon as these two railways were completed, Datang would send troops to these two countries.

Changsun Wuji sneered and said: "Li Feng, you are changing the subject. Which road to build is the decision of the court, not yours.

In addition, you misled His Majesty and made His Majesty make wrong decisions. Please tell me how you should be dealt with for such a big crime."

Li Feng said with a confused look on his face: "Uncle Changsun, there is no need to be like this. As the saying goes, you can correct your mistakes if you know them. There is no great virtue. A prodigal son will not be able to change his ways in exchange for gold.

What's more, now that I have nothing to lose and have set future goals, what do you want to do with me?"

Changsun Wuji sneered and said: "Misleading Your Majesty depends on the seriousness of the case or not. Since you have not caused huge losses to the court and Your Majesty, then let this matter be a verbal warning.

But we can’t do it again next time, otherwise we’ll be held accountable together.”

Li Er, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other ministers couldn't help but look at Changsun Wuji, wondering what shocking words Changsun Wuji would say to angrily attack Li Feng. They didn't expect that in the end, the thunder would be loud and the rain would be light, just to satisfy his taste.

That's all.

Li Er saw that Changsun Wuji was thinking about himself and finding steps for himself, so he kept letting him speak.

To be honest, when Li Feng first apologized to him, he was still a little confused. The three years were set by him, but not long after, he was overturned by Li Feng. This made him not know what to do for a while.

Is good.,

In the end, Changsun Wuji spoke up and put all the blame on Li Feng. In the end, the thunder was loud and the rain was light, but he just warned Li Feng, which was a step for both himself and Li Feng.

Du Ruhui and others also saw Changsun Wuji's intention, and they all held back their smiles as they watched Changsun Wuji and Li Feng's performance.

However, Li Feng's two railways shocked everyone.

Dealing with Tubo and Goguryeo is a big deal, just like attacking the Turks. Now that the Turks have been defeated, the imperial court has no management of the large grasslands except for a few important cities.

I heard that Xue Yantuo had begun to send troops to control those grasslands, but the court ignored him.

Another connection is that Xue Yantuo and Tang Dynasty were allies. They had already formed an alliance when they attacked the Turks. Moreover, when Li Feng led the firearms battalion to attack the Turks, Xue Yantuo also sent troops to attack the Turks.

It's just that Li Feng and the others attracted the main force, allowing Xue Yantuo and the others to take advantage.

Xue Yantuo was also very sensible at that time. After Li Feng defeated Xue Yantuo, he directly led the army back to Xue Yantuo.

However, the imperial court did not take care of the Turkic grasslands for several years, and Xue Yantuo began to be bold enough to occupy many grasslands by force.

It's just that the imperial court doesn't like those grasslands now, and it will have an excuse to send troops in the future, so they just let it go.

Now that everyone heard that Li Er wanted to use mercenaries against Tibet and Goguryeo, they were really shocked.

Li Jing said: "It is not bad to build these two railways. As long as the steam train is as Li Feng said, it originally took half a month to travel, but now it only takes one day. Then, if it is equipped with firearms, then this thing can be successful."

The completion.”

Chai Shao also followed up and said: "I suggest that we send troops to patrol Liaodong and Shuofang now. If there is any abnormality on the other side, we can take the initiative to attack.

Let them have a taste of our army first. As for the railway, we will wait until it is built. At present, we are just talking about it on paper. It is better to take the initiative to send troops."

Everyone couldn't help but nodded. Li Feng was responsible for everything now. They had never seen steam trains or railways. Isn't this just talk on paper?

Li Er said at this time: "We will discuss this matter later. Before the railway is completed, I don't want anyone to discuss this matter again.

Duan Lun."

"I'm here." Duan Lun walked from behind to Li Er.

Li Er said: "The three-year period is my negligence and has nothing to do with anyone else. Since the prince-in-law has pointed out the shortcomings of this matter, within three years, I ask you to build a railway from Chang'an to Shuofang. Can you do it?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely be able to do it." Duan Lun said confidently.

Li Er said with satisfaction: "Okay, I will leave this matter to you. When anyone asks, just say it is to facilitate the transportation of goods between Chang'an and Shuofang."

"I obey the decree." Duan Lun responded.

Everyone understood that Li Er wanted to attack Tubo first, and then deal with Goguryeo after defeating Tubo.

Tang Jian said at this time: "Your Majesty, the end of the Light Festival is coming soon. Should we return to Chang'an City?"

Li Er nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed a beautiful sight to enjoy the lights of Chang'an City here, but it is also a lot of fun to celebrate the Light Festival with the people.

Dear friends, let’s go back to the city to celebrate the Light Festival.”

"Yes." Everyone responded.
